It is understood that her Majesty will preside at a *bug of the Privy Council, on Saturday next, the 9th inst., when the time for the meeting of pasha eat will be fixed, and a proclamation will issue esmoning both houses to assemble on the prescribed IL for the dispatch of public business. There is a rumour abroad, that ministers intend %wing, early next session , some importa nt changes s present revenue system. It i s said that the . w tax will be abolished, and that the tax on will be raised to 5 per cent., while the , :.e,rty levied on income will remain as at present We refer onr readers to another page, for important 1 bramereial intelligence received from America by the da. t Western steamer, which arrived at Liverpool Saturday night. Notwithstanding the large ex tions to - Europe, and the continued demand for er supplies,the prices of corn, flour, and provisions fallen, and when the last accounts left the markets erywhere were dull, with an evident tendency a further decline, notwithstanding the efforts of slaters to advance former rates. The number of is loading in the different ports for Great Britain far beyond all precedent, and there may be ex within the next fortnight in the Mersey alone, iew than sixty cargoes, without estimating those tched previous to the departure of the Great "tern, which have not yet reached their desti on. The following, from the New York Herald, Nor : 26, furnishes the fullest and best information fleeting bread-stuffs, corn and cotton. amnsrurrs.— The market has continued heavy during last week, and prices are daily changing from 6k to 12i ti• The principal muse of this is the tremendous lame lon hand, the continued heavy receipt*, and the diffi -4 - vessels to export. — The heavy hot.' procuring *don e all in their power to stay the downward tendency `Bias, but with ou t effecting their object, and they find ft, after all the golden calculations they had made when Lfirst received information of the failure of crops in ~.that they can get but a fraction more for their .ch than it would have brought two months ago.

In Southern there has been nothing done. Holders a George-town and Brandywine ask 5 dols. 600. ; common kinds could be bought for lees. Rye flour is dull at 3 dole. 75e. to 4 dole. ; with sales at the lower price. Of Jersey corn meal, about 1,500 barrels have changed hands, chiefly at 3 dole. 871 c. cash. Buckwheat , flour is worth 4 dols. 25c. per barrel. Oa Atm.—Wheat is dull, and the prices in some instances have declined sc. to 10c. per bushel, the market is well sup plied, and there is a fair demand, but the difficulty of effect- ing shipments prevents operations to any considerable extent. The sales are, 20,000 bushels Western, part at 1 dol. 6e. for red, and 1 dol. 2c. for inferior mixed; 2,800 White Genessee, about 1 dol. 17c. ; and 2,600 do. Tuesday for milling, 1 dol. 10c. crab. Northern Rye is lees plenty, and the market is firmer, 4,000 bushels sold at 764 e. to 77c. in the slip ; and 2.5,000 do., 78e. to 79c. delivered. Barley is dull, 2,600 bushels brought 600. Northern Oats are firm, and, with a good demand, may be quoted at 36c. to 374 e. Corn is in request for export, but the market being well sup plied, lower prices have been accepted ; the sales an 00 bushels new Northern, at 61 to 63e. ; 2,000 new Southern, 60e. ; 10 to 12,000 mixed Western, 72e. to 73e. ; 7,000 ditto, 68c., and subsequently 35,000 mixed Western and Southern changed hands, mos tly for export, 64 to 66 weight, which were the closing prices, the quality, however, in some in stances, was inferior. A small lot of superior black-eyed peas brought 2 don. 311 c. per beg of two bushels. Corrom.—The sales yesterday amounted to 1,000 bales. Price* exhibit no change from yesterday, in consequence of the inclemency of the weather, and shippers being mimed with their correspondence, there was but alimitedattence of buyers.

Letters from the Haysanah to the 11th of Nov., announce that the damage caused to the sugar crop, by the hurricane of the 10th and 11th of October, I was estimated at from 15 to 25 per cent.

THE PRINCE CONSORT'S PRIZE CATTLE.—It is a singular fact that the Hereford steer, bred by Mr. T. Ro berts, of lvington Bury, and fed by . Mr. W. Trinder ' of Wantage, which obtained the first prize of Class 1., at the Smithfield Club Exhibition, was offered last year to General Wemyes, steward to the Prince Consort, at the same time that gallant officer purchased the two animals, bred by the same gentleman, which have pined for his R oyal Highness the second prize in Class 11., and the first prize in Class 111. Had General Wemyse exercised his usual sagacity, the Prince at the late show would mast undoubtedly have carried off the first prize, in addition to the two otherel men tioned. The silver medal presented to the largest purchaser of stock from the cattle show for the pest year has been awarded to Mr. Bannister, of Threadneedle street, purveyor to her Majesty. CHIPPENHAM.—The annual meeting of the Agri cultural Association took place on Friday. The show of cattle and stock in general was much superior to any pre ceding exhibition. There were upwards of 600 visitors in the course of the morning, among whom were his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, Jos. Need, Esq., M.P., Poulett Scrope, Esq., M.P., Capt. BAdero, M.P., and many of the clergy and gentry of the neighbourhood. Joe. Neeld, EM., M.P. for Chippenham, presided at the dinner. Allusion was made by some of the speakers to the letting of farms by lease, which plan met with general approbation. A prize is, for the future, to be given to the farmer who employs the greatest number of labourers at the greatest amount of wages. This, for the farmer,' of Wiltshire, is rather a novel prize, but it is hoped will create at lead as much competition as the one given for fattest ox or pig . THE RICHMOND TESTIMONIAL.—A meeting of agri culturists took place on Tuesday last at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration the testimonial to be presented to the Duke of Richmond. It was resolved that a deputation should be appointed to wait upon the noble duke. The meeting then adjourned to three o'clock. end reassembled at that hour, when the deputation reported " That they had waited on the Duke of Richmond, and that his grace had expressed his grateful thanks for the very hand same manner in which they had been pleased to express their approbation of his exertions, and stated hie wish, that any fund to be raised as a testimonial to himself, should be used as the foundation stone of an institution, for the relief of farmers reduced by adverse circumstances." Resolutions were then passed for the purpose of getting up a sub scription, and the meeting adjourned to the 12th of January. IMPORTANCE OF DRAINING. ROYAL POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION. — Mr. W. Bullock Webster delivered a very interesting lecture on Friday evening, in the theatre of thisinstitution, on the science of practical draining—a subject of deep importance, and the lecturer no mean authority in such matters, he being extensively occupied in that branch of agricultural improvement on some of the first estates in the kingdom. He commenced hie subject by making a few remarks upon the impos sibility of laying down any particular law with respect to draining, as the success of it was mast distinctly depend ent upon the nature of the Boil. If, for instance, a deep drain, say four feet, was laid in a strong tenacious clay, through the subsoil of which no wa t er could percolate, the effect would, of course, be rendered useless except in the im mediate neighbourhood of the sides of it, and of little, if any service, to the exit of surface water. He asserted it as his conviction, from practical experience, that under such cir cumstances, shallow draining, say from 30 inches to 3 feet, was preferable. Indeed, any fixed plan of operation would be had been pmade. remature After so until a me r em ar ks propere umin a pon the nature, of the land form, and utility of the tile, Mr. Webster discoursed with much ability on the method of closing after it bad been consigned to its proper position. This, he contended, was a point of much greater importance than was generally imagined. He believed that the closing of the tile ought to be done loosely, in order that the capillary attraction might progress unimpeded. Ramming. in almost all eases, neutrahsed to a great degree the functions of the drain, the main object to be obtained in perfect draining being a free and easy, percolation of the surface water. With regard to spring draining, there could be but one (pinion— es., that the head of the spring must be discovered, and the spring itself conducted away at a sufficient depth to be out of reach of the roots ; bet as to the best method of lead ing, th at was a subject which he thought was also much de pendent on the position of the ground. He conceived that where there was a considerable fall, diagonal conduits were preferable to either direct or rectangular. Mr. Webster concluded his lecture by intimating his anxiety to be thoroughly understood, and the pleasure he would feel in answering any inquiries that might be made of him with reference to the subject. Ac cordingly a number of gentlemen among the audience, apparently much interested in agricultural scatters, after lecture was over, held an animated discussion with Mr. anger, who, by his answers and remarks, seemed to ' elftem the fullest satisfaction as to the correctness of his COMMERCIAL ef MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Half-past Two.—The dullness of the stock market was nowise relieved by the accounts brought by the Great Western from New York. The intelligence that the rate of exchange on England had again fallen, from the mul titude of bills pressed on the market, and was quoted no better than from 1051 to 61, leavingan average margin of 3 per cent. below par in favour of the shipments of gold to the United States in payment of purchases, preferentially . to drawing. could not fail to make some impression in the present rather sensitive state of the money market, and in the Stock Exchange, so intimately connected with it. There can be no question, in fact, to all appearance, but that gold must begin to flow outwards. There has been little business doing this morning, but Console remain 931, sullen for the opening.

The sales in Rice are 1,000 bags of Bengal, at rather lower prices for white, and y ellow cargo at. 15s. per cwt., being a slight advance on this description.

Only s mall sales in-Nitrate of Soda, at steady pes. Guano.- There continues a good inquiry, and the sales are at firm prices. Montreal Pot Ashes are lower, 265. having been accepted for 200 brla., and at this reduction the y are still difficult of sale.

The demand for Brimstone continues lialited, but full prius are obtained for the few parcels going into consumption. There has been more demand for Olive Oil, and considerable sales made during the week, at fully previous rates. Sales of Newfoundland end Oil, to the extent of about 30 tuns, have been made at our quotation. Linseed Oil is without change in price. Pale Rape is scarce, and commands full rates. Oil of Turpentine continues dull. The holders of Pan Oil having evinced more desire to sell, have accepted lower prices, and nearly 300 tons have been sold, principally at 371. down to 361. 10e. per ton, but part understood to be rather lower. Hemp.—The only transaction or consequence reported is the sale of 200 bales Sunn, at 201. per ton. The Tallow market, under the influence of some forced sales of Petersburg Y. C., has been much depressed this w ek ; in meet cases the prices have not transpired, hut the nearest quotation is 484. to 48e. 6d. per cwt.; in other descrip tions not a single sale has transpired. 2,100 kegs and 40 barrels American Lard, are reported at 4`2s. 9d. to 43e. Bd. per cwt. TALLOW. ----- - The opinion we have expressed for the Last fort night, is now being realised. The Tallow, which pressed on the market has been taken up, and consumers are obliged to apply to the importers, who demand higher prices. This state of things Is likely to etettintie, as the quantity to arrive between this and 31st March, is comparatively trifling. Higher prime may, therefore, be looked Cur. Petesubsui Y.

To -d a y oar market is well attended, and with a good inquiry for every article, we quote Wheat fully 6d. per bushel, and Flour Is. 6d per barrel, and 2s. per sack dearer.

BRADFORD.—There is a feeling that combing Wools have seen their lowest point, and the spinners buy with more confidence. The business doing is rather more eaten sire, without altera'ion prices. HALIFAX.—In the Wool trade prices are very firm, and likely to keep so whilst the arrivals from the growing districts continue so slow. Quotations are 111.55. to 111. 10s. per pack for middle wethers, and 101. to 101. 2s. 6d. common posts with broke. A little less Long Wool is using, and the short stock in the market place is under the control of the staplers. Short Wools are very quiet, there being great in ' disposition to buy at present ; but the prices are firm, and the feeling is that they have seen the lowest figure. LEtDe. — ln English Wool, a better business has b een doing, and last week's prices have been firmly sup vrted. In Foreign the demand has been more animated, and, considering the season of the year, a fair amount of business has been transacted; recent prices have been supported. LivEarool.—Our. market has somewhat improved, in consequence of the favourable manner in which the Lon don sale■ have concluded. Some sales were made on speculation, but the trade purchase with caution. Little has been done in Scotch, and prices, if anything, arc lower. A few transactions in Alpaca have been reported about late rates. Imports of foreign for the week, 32 bags; peed °wily this year, 72,470. Import of Scotch, 641 bags ; pre viously this year, 18,243.

WINCHESTER, DEC. 12.—There has been a depres sion of Id. per lb. in Wool within the last fourteen days here and at Southampton. BERLIN, DEC. 4.—After a rather quiet week towards the close of last month we have now to report an increase in business. occasioned by orders for purchasing, received from the Netherlands. Further contracts, also, appear to have been recently made in Silesia for some of the finer flocks, at a partial advance upon last summer's prices. CATITE, &e. Smrrnrist.n, Two o'clock.—Today is the great Christmas market. at which we always expect a large supply of good Beasts. This year we have a very superior show, although not quite en many as was anticipated. Some few of the choicest descriptions have made 51., but these being extraordinary ones, and the occasion being also extraordinary, this price cannot he quoted as an average. We have about 3,000 Lincolns and IA icesters, nearly 300 from Scotland, from the west country about 700, and the remainder from the neighbourhood of London and various parts of the country. The weather being so favourable, we hope comparatively few will he left unsold. The num- Ibee of Sheep is not very large, neither is the quality so good as usual on the great market day. There are, however, some exceedingly prime Downs in market, which make ss. 4d. The trade is not good for the biggest sort of long-wools, and 4s. Rd. is quite the outside price of them. We have 2,3.50 from Holland and Germany. The trade for Calves is very slow, and general piece are rather lower. Pigs are more easily disposedlittle advance. nest soots, lierekeds, fac.

LEICESTER. —CH R TSTMAS FAIR.—Our fair this week was one of the largest that has been known for many years, as far as regards the number of cattle. Good Beef sold well at about fiat., but there was a good deal of half - fed which had to be dis posed of at a considerably lower rate. Store beast were very flat, and Sheep hung on hand. Good Milking Beasts were scarce, and fetched very high prices, but in-calvers, that were not nearly down, did not command a ready sale. NORTHAMPTON FAlR.—This fair, which was held on the 10th inst., was in substitution of that hitherto held on the 19th of Dcember. The change was made in com pliance with • requisition to the town council. Considering that this was the first time of holding tke fair, the supply was large. There was plenty of excellent Christmas Beer, but buyers were few and the trade dull. Excellent Beef fetched from 4s. to 4s. 4d. The show of fat Shee p was small, but the trade was equally heavy. The supply of store cattle was not large, but it exceeded considerably the demand, and most of them were driven away unsold.
