Hum, Ocr. 27.-We have had again a great deal of rain during the past week, which had the effect of rather injuring the condition of the new Wheat ; we have conse quently had a better demand for foreign, Without however being able to obtain more money, except for Gentile, of which the stock in the port is trifling. At this day's mar ket we had a very short supply of Wheat from the farmers, and our millers, being by no mein/ anxious buyers, were enabled to supply themselves atthe prices of last week ; is free foreign but little passing, having had two days of very fine frosty weather, which of course will improve the con dition of new Wheat. Of Barley our supplies, either from foreign or our farmers, are very small, we quote prices Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer, with a great demand for both malting and grinding. Oats are Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer. Other sorts of spring Corn unaltered, and the supply very short. Linseed in good demand, and Is, to 2s. per qr. dearer. Rapeseed sold at full prices, the arrivals small. Linseed and Rape Cakes maintain their prices. But little passing in Bones. Guano as last noted. The following are the present prices current: Wheat, red, 48s. to 58s. ; new ditto, 60s. to 651. ; white, 60s. to 625. ; new ditto, 655. to 70s. ; Dantzie, 625. to 68s. ; Lower Baltic and Hamburgh, 545. to 60s. Barley, malting, 425. to 48e. ; grinding, 361. to 38s. Oats, 245. to 28s. ; Danish, 235. to 2as. ; Russian, 245. to 265. Beans, 465. to 60s. ; foreign, 445. to 465. Peas, white and yellow, 48e. to 50s. lemon, Ccr. 27.—There was a small exhibition of any grain, excepting that of Barley, the price of which the • Wmers are pleased with, and will probably bring it freely to market. Wheat commands full prices from the millers who have now an abundance of wind and water power, but the supply altogether little exceeds their immediate wants. Beans and Peas are but rarely seen. Flour, 465. to 475., free on board. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 27.-The prevalence of heavy rains daring the greater part of the present month, and the high gales of wind last week, have been succeeded by tine weather within the last three days, and the land, which in many situations was too wet for sowing, is now coming into good order for that purpose. Arrivals, coastwise and from Ireland, still come forward sparingly, and those from abroad since this day week, comprise only moderate supplies of Wheat, Indian Corn, and Flour from the American States, with 660 qrs. of Beans from the Baltic. Our market this morning was rather slenderly attend ed country millers, as and the trade, regards Wheat, ap to exhibit fewer lively symptoms than of late ; for I consumption, however, sales upon a moderate scale were effected, and most descrip tions of Englih, Irish, and foreign, nearly, and in some instances, fully maintained the current rates of this day week. Irish Flour being in slow request, was the turn cheaper ; and the demand for barrels having considerably abated, States and Canadian, both free and in bond, were decidedly easier to pnrchase. Barley, Malt, and Beans, stimulated by the advance in other markets throughout the country, met increasing inquiries, each obtaining an improvement of 2a. to 3s. per qr. upon the quotations of Tuesday last. Peas were alai more saleable, but not dearer. Oats, commanding more attention, acquired ld. per 451 b. over previous rates; and Oatmeal, of which there is scarcely any left unsold, must be noted is. per load higher. Indian Corn, the 'tech hero having been almost wholly cleared, continues to be taken in small retail parcels alone at late prices. In anything under bond or afloat, no business was apparent to-day.

DARKER and darker every day grows the cloud that lowers over Ireland. Premature as the alarm was said to be, there is already a fearful amount of misery for which the foresight came too late. Famine will not wait, while the machinery for its mitigation is being fitted and put into action. The preliminary arrangements for help are in progress ; the ultimate ravages of want and disease are, with multitudes, in progress also. Deaths from utter destitution are be ginning to multiply, appalling first-fruits of a fatal harvest. Typhus is taking possession of crowded hospitals and poor-houses, making those forlorn ' asylums for relief and remedy only the portals of the grave. Cetaeombe are not so gloomy, nor the battle field so terrible, as the aspect of Ireland at this mo ment. It presents a scene to strike with awe the I most unthinking. And yet the deepest impression is not made by the sufferings of the passing time, but by the portentous indications they afford that "worse remains behind." In tbs various articles of Irish intelligence which so often ocxnq oar columns, it may be seen how widely the panic spreads through society. Landlords are rushing forward to proclaim what large per cent ages of their rents they are ready to forego. Priests and clergymen of all churches are assailing heaven with incessant prayers. Those who address the public at meetings, or through the press, vie with each other in lashing the inevitable slowness of the operations for relief. Convoys of corn for exportation are inter cepted, and provision stores are storm( d. Some are furious, and others stand aghast, like passengers in a foundering ship. It is hard work even for the most intelligent and collected, to apply themselves steadily to the imperative duties of the time, and do the best that can be done in the struggle with impending calamity. At such a time, people will not suffer quietly, and be helped thankfully. Parishes and baronies are loud with their competitive statistics of starvation. Their demands on the public parse are unbounded. They utterly forget that it is not the purse of Fortunatus ; that nothing can come out of the Treasury but what has first gone into it, and been drawn, in large measure, from toiling multitudes not many removes from their own condition. The mil lions they calculate so fluently, and demand so fiercely, would be " blood, sweat, and tear-wrung millions." The wretehedest catch up this head long claim. They are impatient of the rea sonable requirement of labour for their food. Heated with the hunger-fever, work seems to them a needless interposition between their wants and the bounty of relief. They strike for higher wages, when the lowest might well be deemed a heaven above their deep abyss of misery. They refuse task•work, as if equality of want were an all-suffi cient title to equality of supply. Bands of them tra verse the country ; foraging parties in advance of the fearfullest sf invasions. They beg with bludgeons. The robber and amain are abroad. Some cry for meal, and others for muskets. Power is com pelled by the disorder to grow churlish in its charity ; to surround with bayonets the bread it will distribute; and sometimes to fire on those whom it desires to reed. We mean this for no cata logue of crimes; no articles of impeachment. It is a portion of the trouble and the trial that are come upon us. It is the frantic raving of national disease. It must be repressed; but it should also be com miserated. We must look on it firmly and calmly. Such symptoms naturally attend the master mischief. They are the throes and convulsions of a famine-stricken people. Oar business is to heal. Every step of success will witness their abatement. Nor let us presume that we shall pass through the winter and spring merely as spectators of Irish misery. The rock on which we overlook that flood is not so high as to place us above the pelting of the storm. The pressure on the poor has begun at home. Prices hold on their regular march in the Corn Mar ket from week to week. There is no pause ; so retrograding. The duty is down to its legal lowest, and still the price advances. People call for opening the ports, and they m u st be opened; but the remission will avail us little. The popular demand for a short-time Factory Bill is yet ringing in our ears ; short time ie enforced by a mock ing Necessity, making a curse of the granted prayer. One mill after another in the North is striking hours off the day, or days out of the week, in its operations. Untiring steam begins to take its grim repose ; but hunger is rapacious while steam is resting. Speculation stays its hand, and counts its outlay, and curtails its expenditure. If some Irish will not, many English cannot, toil at task-work. Everywhere, diminution of food just precedes, or instantly follows, diminution of employment. Trades men and manufacturers confine their purchases, their production, or their stock, within the narrowest limits. They lie on their oars, and wait. The labouring chums cannot wait. Want cannot afford to be pru dentiaL We have called this a time of trial. It is eminently so; a time of moral trial for the English character. We are within the circle of the storm that bursts on Ireland, and have to care for both countries; we have to show how a peril may be sur mounted more formidable than all precedent dangers, whether from the madness of faction, the encroach ments of prerogative, or the menacing front of hostile armies. With the judicious and generous arrangements of the Government, we believe the public feeling to be entirely in accordance. Nor should occasions be neglected for the expression of approval and confi dence. They are due, and valuable, while the un reasoning hubbub of reproach is so often raised. The single thing to be done is the throwing down of whatever barrier remains to the free ingress of food into Great Britain and Ireland, in whatever vessels it may come, and from whatever countries. On this we confidently reckon. It will leave no demurring, no drawback, no flaw in the identity of feeling between the Government and the People. It argues well, too, for the sound judgment of the nation, that the old and superficial resource of subscription, though sometimes suggested, has found little concurrence. Its superfi ciality is seen ; and its utter inadequacy. The public understand that the aid they desire to bestow, must be rendered by mightier agencies than almsgiving. The silence on this matter is not the neglect of in difference, but the strong purpose of intense sympathy. And while in churches, both Protestant and Catholic, the inscrutable workings of Providence are adored in this dark dispensation, we cannot but think we per ceive an unwonted solemnity of thought in the mode in which it is generally regarded by the different classes of society. The national mind is at once more humble yet more energetic ; it has no touch of des pondency, yet none of boastfulness. For nations, as for individuals, there is a moral training in calamity. And we would fain hope that this England, whose " ancient prerogative " it was to " teach the nations how to live," may come out of the fiery trial more pure and resplendent, with every noble quality of national character developed, matured, and elevated. SIR ANDREW AGNEW " bath iteration :" in the case of so saintly a person, the adjective used by FALSTAFF iS obviously inapplicable. Ever since the opening of the WAN*tmd Glasgow Railway, Sir AXDRZW and his oaadjakes have made a n annua l attempt to stop the Sunday trains on that railway ; and annually they have been outvoted. The proxies of the English share holders have mainly swelled the majorities oa these occasions. Al our readers are aware, the English shareholders in this concern have recently crossed the border in person, attacked the directors in their city of Glasgow, overthrown the old dynasty, and installed themselves on the vacant throne. In their triumph we entirely sympathised. The management of the railway, both in finan cial respects and in the matter of carriage, had been so wretched, that it obviously could not fall into worse hands, and might possibly fall into better. But the first step of the new di rectors has not been such as to inspire confidence in them. In opposition to repeated decisions of general meetings of shareholders, they have intimated that they, the directors, are about to stop the Sunday trains. They, the very persons who, as shareholders, exercised their legitimate authority to keep the trains running, are now, as directors, going to exceed their delegated powers and stop them. The natural inference from this sudden change of opinion is, that the outvoting of the directors (and their consequent resignation) has been owing leas to the shareholders' conviction of their mismanagement, than to an unworthy intrigue by which Sir ANDREW AGNEW and his saints lent their aid to place the new dircctors is office, provided that, when there, they would act in defiance of all their former professions of principle. The new directors may rest assured that they cannot by each means promote the interests of the railway. By this time they must be aware that a section of the ousted party have a most lawyer-like propensity to struggle,, for the re-acquisition of office, by all sorts of legal quibbles. The step they are about to take will lend these men a handle for multiplying and perpetuating sectional divisions among the shareholders, and for combining party votes regardless of principle. 'The intestine disseosions thus created will not facilitete the profitable management of the railway. Again : the new directors are mistaken if they imagine the measure they contemplate will be generally approved of in Scotland. Mr. RIPPEN spoke the sense of a mejority of Scotehmen when he bluntly declared (fluttering the Agnewites in their dovecote) that "'there was little fanaticism now, but abundance of hypocrisy had taken its place." The new directors have been warned by Mr. M'Neill of the great inconvenience they will entail upon the public by discontinuing the Sunday trains. The railway has displaced all other means of communication between Edinburgh 'and Glasgow : the Sunday trains being stopped on that day, the son will be precluded from hastening to his father's death bed ; the physician from visiting hit distant patients ; pious dissenters in secluded localities, from repairing to the churches of their recpectlve creeds in towns. There is an ineffable voluntary forgetfulness on the part of these Agnewites. They allow the mail on Sundays to be carried twice in either direction, but not passengers. Is them less sin in conveying letters than human beings? 1)o the engine -drivers, stokers, and others employed, less incur the sin of Sabbath breach when there are only letters, than when there are passengers? Have Sir ANDREW and his friends any more right to expose these few unfortunates to the wrath they profess to believe awaits them, thaws greater number? This sacrifice of a minimum quantity of souls, in order to comply with the conditions on which they hold their privileges, reminds one of fairy practice, as recorded in the ballad of Young Tamlane— " For aye, at every twalmonth's end, They pay the keno to hell." It would be no more than Christian charity were Sir ANDREW and his friends to ensure safety to the souls of the stokers, by taking the perilous service upon themselves which is to bring gain to them. Reports continued to reach Paris on Sunday and Monday of the details of the disasters attending the inundations, but brought nothing of importance in addition to those particulars which have been given in our correspondence of the last few days. The waters are gradually subsiding. Subscriptions are everywhere opened for the relief of the sufferers, and cabinet councils were held under the presidency of the King on Saturday and Sunday, at St. Cloud, for the consideration of such measures as might be most conducive to the relief of the unfortunate population. The Minister of the Interior had already visited the seat of the disasters, and had directed the most urgent measures, and ordered pecuniary assistance. The conflict between the Paris journalists of the Conservative party on the one hand, and the various sections of the Opposition on the other, continues to be carried on in a tone of extraordinary virulence. England and the English alliance, the Spanish mar riages, the general tendencies of the Guizot Ministry to support absolutism everywhere in Europe ; to court the favour of despotic powers and alienate liberal alliances; to repress and discountenance popular movements in other states, and extenuate and defend the oppressors of absolute governments and reaction ary cusps treat, constitute the staple of the charges against the ministerial party, and are the elements of the conflict The intelligence which has been received from Switzerland removes all doubt of a movement at Beale [defiler to that which has taken place at Geneva. On the evening of the 20th the leaders of the radical party assembled at an inn about half a league from the city, to concert means to overturn the existing government, and to insure the triumph of their prin ciples. Reports state that the result of their discus sion was to overturn the existing government, to reduce the members of the lesser council from seven teen to ten, giving each an annual salary of 200/.1 to extend electoral rights ; to dissolve the defensive alliance of the seven cantons ; and to oppose the establishment of the Jesuits in Switzerland. The Conservatives also held a meeting at the 11401 des Troia Rois, but they,seemed completely disorganised and paralysed. Letters from the frontiers of Switzer land, dated the 22nd; mention that the canton of Basle was in full revolt; that the pavement of the streets had been torn up, that the great council had resigned, and that Basle-ville and Basle-campagne would be formed into a single canton. At Berne, tranquillity continued to the date of the latest accounts. (21st). • The concentration of the French troops on the Swiss frontier had attracted the attention of the authorities. The governments of the Cantons of Geneva and Vaud were making military preparations that of Berne only waited the orders of the Vorort. Mean while the farther disbanding of troops was deferred ; there were under arms there two battalions of infan try, each 1200 strong ; three companies of cara bineers ; three squadrons of cavalry • and two bat teries of artillery : in all above 300 0 men, who had been reviewed on the 21st by the director of military affairs, Colonel Ochseubein. Independently of the questions arising out of the Gcncvcse revolution, it was evident that an extraordinary meeting of the Diet must soon be held in consequence. Letters from Zurich have been received to the 23rd inst. The silence observed by the Chargé d'Affaires of Switzerland at Paris and Vienna, appears to have satisfied the public there that neither France nor Austria contemplate an intervention. M. do Tschann regarded as unimportant the advance of the French troops on the frontier, and no information was given by M. Esainger of the reported movements of the Austrian troops or the military demonstrations on the French frontier. Our Madrid dencc of the 19th, with the journals of that city, Gave arrived ; the mails of the 20th and 21st were, however, still due, and had not been received at Paris when our correspondent there closed his despatches. PARIS, Oct. 24. The Parisian press is very much occupied with commentaries on the position of M. Guizot and the attitude which the northern courts have assumed with ' , lard to France, in the diplomatic difficulty raised by the marriage of the Duke de Montpensier. The ministry is represented as on the eve of being dissolved, and France under the ban of Europe. Without inquiring into what may ultimately mine, it appears desirable to me to state the facts as they really are. The northern courts have pronounced neither for England nor France, but have observed a close neutrality. M• de Metternich, who has spoken in his quality of diplomatic
