No such signal successes have been achieved as are likely t 9 impress the Kaffirs with our vast superiority, or de ter them from again resorting to pred - atory in cursions. We fear that the time for action has been wasted in one way or another, till the resources of the army were nearly exhausted, and that active hostilities may be forced to a premature dose, leaving matters little better than at the commencement of the campaign. In fact, however it may be viewed, the invasion of Kaffirland has proved a failure, and the protection of the colony must hereafter be secured by a strong military force upon the frontier. The 43th regiment had been pushed on from Graham's Town to the Fish River, but the demand for additional regiments has become so urgent, that the 37th regi ment, which has just sailed for Ceylon, may probably be detained at the Cape, till further reinforcements can arrive from this country. By the last accounts, Sir Peregrine Maitland had fallen back to Line Drift, in consequence of the difficulty experienced in finding provisions for the troops. Colonel Hare, with his division, had with drawn to Fort Beaufort, and it was understood that Sir A. Stockenstrom had resigned his command, and returned to his farm, in consequence of some serious differences with the Governor, the precise nature of which has not been declared. Several bodies of the Boers who volunteered for field service, having been disbanded, had returned home in a very wretched con dition, respecting whom a correspondent of the Gralsam's Town Journal writes : These men have seen a great deal of service since they left home, and really appeared very much fatigued, and moat of them walked on foot, having been obliged to shoot numbers of their excellent but worn-out horses. Some of these worthy men are very naked, several being without jackets. and others walking barefooted, mad others with very tattered garments. "Is this the way," he continues, "to treat repectable men, who left homesteads and lucrative occupations to assist the common cause ? In conjunction with the Hottentots, they have, under the wise and energetic guidance of their devoted commandant general (Sir A. Stoekenstrom) done important service to the colony. In less than three dams they cleared the Amatola and Neua, which, had • • * S e done his duty, would still have been deer, and the war ended, whereas that place is as full of Kaffirs as ever, and the work will have to be done over again. In about three weeks' time they traversed the country to Kreili's place, and a great part of this long march was performed on foot in advance of the waggons. Sleeping out in all kinds of weather, and each man, from the commandant to the lowest man, carrying his own rations of meat on his ramrod, and his bread in his ha mmock." These men must not be lost sight of. When such services are performed at such risks and endurance, some I real return should he made by the colony at large. This is a trying moment for those who are left on the im mediate frontier, compelled once more to act on the defen sive, while the main body of the burghers are returning to their homes, more in the interior of the colony. " The liners' , going home," says a correspondent, " will infect the Hot tentot levies, several of which have shown great discontent I lately on account of the promise of feeding their wive. and children is hen they left the upper districts not having been I fulfilled. At Eylacd's Post there is not a single span of oxen fit for purposes of transport, and want lit gins to stare them in the face. The following is Captain Hogg's report of his encounter with the Tambookie Chief Mapassa on the Windvogelberg : Eiland's River. Sunday, Aug. 23, 1846. Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, that, according to the directions of his Honour Colonel Hare, commanding the Ist division, I proceeded to the Windrogelberg, and arrived at the foot of it on the 2d day from Fort Cox, late in the evening. I rode in the night to Shiloh, sending mes- sengers from thence to the Tarka, to inform the resident agent of the intended attack upon Mariana, and also to secure the co-operation of Captain Seagram. It was proposed that his force, consisting of as many of the 45th as could be spared, and a mixture of Fingoes and Kama's Kiffite, should enter from the Tarka side, with the Boers under' Field Commandant rectories ; that the Klip Plaat Hottentots, and a few Fingoes and Boers, should take up their station on a commanding point in the centre, and wait in observa tion ; and that my force should enter by the valley through which the Riet River runs, passing round the B.E point of the Windvogelherg, being joined in the morning by the Boers under Commandant Van Wyk. Captain Seagram, furnished with guides by Mr. Fynn, marched straight upon the kraal whore the murders of Mr. Aldum reaided, killed nine Kaffirs, and destroyed it, taking about four hundred head of cattle, a. many as he thought it was possible for him to manage. The next day he proceeded onwards towards Mapassa'skraal, had a sharp skirmish with the enemy, killing several without loss on his side, and putting them to flight. Field-Commandant Pretorius was present on this accasion, having only joined on the second day. The Klip Pleat Hottentots and Fingoes sta tioned between the two forces, with orders to wait, dis obeyed that order and attacked several kraals, killing some 13 or 14 of the enemy, and taking cattle and horses. They then seem to have dispersed to plunder in every direction. The Kaffirs collected in the neighbourhood came down upon them, and after a sharp fight, in which' 13 of the Shiloh people were killed, they were driven bark, and nearly all the cattle retaken from them. Se veral of the enemy fell also in this affair. This disaster was entirely occastoned by this party not attending to the orders given them. My force entering the above mentioned valley, took 4,000 head of cattle, killing six of the enemy, and took up a position for the night on the Riet River. The next morning drove to Shiloh— the Boers under Commandant Van Wyk on our right flank. We accomplished this operation with scarcely any resistaacts on the part of the enemy. At one point of the line of march they mustered on a stony ridge, about 80 horsemen, and about 150 on foot ; but not more than 30 of the Swel lendam infantry, acting as Hankers under Lieutenant Hun ter, drove them from it in the most gallant manner, puns sued them over a flat to a still stronger position, which they attempted to occupy, and drove them from it in like manner, killing and wounding several. We arrived at Shiloh on the sth day from Fort Cox. The next day I marched and joined Captain Seagram; we united, and re turned together to Shiloh. I have selected from 400 to 500 of the best oxen for the use of the Ist division, and brought them down to this place. The rest have been distributed, being nearly all cows, to the Boers, Harmanus's and Kama's Ksffirs, &c. Captain Sutton will allow them to remain till an escort is sent for them from Fort ('ox, which I trust will be done immediately as there is no grass. Giving the escort, consisting of 500 men, a day's rest here, I shall proceed back to Shiloh, anti resume operation. against Mapassa. I sent Mr. Alyff to communicate with timtikaka, and to find out what part he intends to take in the contest. From this gentleman I have received the greatest assistance. The force is somewhat fatigued with the hard work of collecting and driving cattle, the former not a very easy affair in an open country for infantry. His honour having kindly given me so many men, I can hardly ask for more ; but this country is full of horses, which the footmen are unable to take, and a few cavalry would be of the greatest assistance. We are also in want of flint ammunition. There is a gun at the Tarka, which, should horses be sent up for it, would, in this open, easy country. he very effective. All the Gaika cattle are on the Bulota, we hear, and Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's wag gons are under the Windvogelberst. Many of the cattle taken are recognised as having been in the waggons at Burn's Hill, and numbers as colonial. I forgot to mention that Van Wyk's Boers bad a very hard fight on our right Honk—l believe with the Kaflirs repulsed by Lieut. Hunter—and killed about thirty of them, but were obliged to relinquish some of their horses, which wereknocked up. There is forage at the Tarka, but very little flint am munition. The Boer's horses arc too poor for them, to be able to exert themselves much. Sir Andrea Stoekenstrom's people, who are with the waggons, sent to Shiloh for slaugh ter oxen, as none were there procurable, I sent them thirty. I have procured also about fifty pack oxen for the use of the troops, which will be of great service in carrying provisions, fie., and I hope to send his honour a good account of Mapassa and his cattle. llopieg that he will approve of what has been don., and that he will be satisfied with the exertions of all the troops employed, which have been great, I have the honour to be Sir, your obedient servant, W. S. HOOO, Capt. 7th Dragoon Guards. The prevalence of strong south-easterly winds ap pears to have endangered the shipping in Waterloo Bay, where a deprit had been formed for supplying the army with provisions. The escape of her Majesty's ship Apollo is thus noticed in a letter from Port Elizabeth, dated the 3rd September : Iler Majesty's ship Apollo called here on her way to Wa terloo Bay, with the 73rd Regiment on board, and also the Naval Superintendent of that place, Lieut. Forsyth. On Thursday evening, the 28th, standing in shore, towards the Kowie River, it fell calm, when finding the swell set ting her too near the shore, she was obliged to anchor. At three, a.m., on the following morning, got a strong breeze from the south-west. The messenger was carried away in weighing the anchor. On its being hove up, found both flukes gone. On the 30th, she anchored in Waterloo Bay, in 10 fathoms, with a strong wind. Mr. Salmond immediately came on board, and hopes were entertained of being able to land the troops. The surf, however, increased so much that this was found im practicable; it also blew very strong throughout the day. On Sunday, the 31st, the wind shifted to E. by S., and as the rollers gradually increased, the commander of the Apollo determined to proceed to sea. At 10, a.m., Lieut. Forsyth was sent to the Waterloo, thers to await a more favourable opportunity of landing, but on his getting alongside of this vessel, he was told that they expected every moment to part their cable. Capt. Brown, of the Catherine, who happened am cidentally to be alongside of the Waterloo, very k'iidly offered to receive him on board hie ve ssel , which wooly ing furtheront, mid therefore less exposed to the influence of the rollers. On his way to the Catherine, Captain Brown strongly advised the commander of the Apollo to get under weigh. About n oon she crowd top-gallant agd royal-yards, and iMilbe- _ diatelafterwards it was noticed that she had parted her beetbower cable; the two remaining anchors were then let go, but the ship had considerably neared the breakers off the east point of Fish River, ere the two anchors held ; there now appeared to be great hazard for her to at tempt leaving the bay, being doubtful of clearing the breakers in casting, when Captain Brown, observing the perilous situation of the ship, and judging, from the appearance of the rollers, that in • few hours the must inevitably part from her anchors, and go on the rocky shore, where there seemed little chance of saving life, immediately manned his boat and went on board ; he found that the Apollo was in the act of sending down top-gaamit - Yards. but he advised them to be kept aloft. Captain Brown volunteered at some risk to run a line from the schooner Norfolk, with his own boat, to the Apollo, to haul a hawser on board of that vessel, so as to insure the frigate casting with her bend off shore. The commander and master of the Apollo approved of this suggestion, which Captain Brown immediately =Tied into effect, Captain Watts, of the Norfolk, giving every assistance. During this time the Apollo set all sail, and hove up one of her anchors, then tin.dng there was a certainty, with the assistance of her sails and hawser, that she would clear the reef, she slipped from the other anchor, and got safe out. Her escape may be said to be almost miraculous, for very soon after she lett the sea broke most fearfully outside the place where she had been lying. All the vessels were fortunate in getting out, the Catherine and the Norfolk being the last that re mained, they being engaged in rendering the assistance, as described, to the Apollo. Towards four p.m. the wind increased to a strong gale, with a high sea, so that those two vessels were also obliged to slip. The frigate has, no doubt, proceeded to Simon's Bay, having only one anchor left.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES CODRINOTON FORSYTH ; Lieut. R.N. JOHN BRIGHT, ESQ., FOR MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, Nov. 19. A meeting of the liberal electors was held last night, in the Free Trade Hall, to ratify the nomination made by the Reform Association of Mr. Bright, as a candidate for the representation of Manchester, and to hear from him an ex position of his sentiments.. There was a eery large and enthusiastic meeting. George Wilson, Esq., was called to the chair. Mr. ABSALOM WATILIN moved, that this meeting of the liberal electors of the borough of Manchester gratefully acknowledges the distinguished services of John Bright, Esq., M.P., in the recent struggle for commercial freedom: and entertaining a high sense of his talents and public con duct, resolves that he is peculiarly qualified to represent this borough in parliament, and pledges itself to take all requisite steps for securing his return. Mr. Alderman Beau seconded the motion, which was carried by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN then moved that the proposer and lie condor of till resolution should be requested to wait upon Mr. Bright, who was in the ante-room, and introduce him to the meeting. The motion having been adopted and acted upon, these gentlemen retired, and in a few minutes after wards returned, accompanied by Mr. Bright, who was re ceived with deafening bursts of applause. The Chairman baying presented to him formally the resolution which had been adopted, My. BRIGHT came forward amidst renewed plaudits. He mud, he should not be accused of exaggerating, if he stated that he was deeply affected by the proceedings of this even ing. All his past experience as a speaker in that hall seemed at that moment to avail him little. He was suffering from a sense of the too great kindness of a veq large number of those with whom he had been accustomed to act, on public questions ; and was suffering, also, somewhat from an im paired state of health. Ile should, therefore, have to claim a large allowance of indulgence ant forbearance from that meeting. (Applause.) He regretted, in common with them all, the retirement of Mr. Mark Philips. The Reform Association had honoured him by requesting him to offer himself to become the successor of that gentleman, and the chairman, since he had entered the hall, had in formed him that they had confirmed the nomination of the association, He hail sent a reply to that association, which the meeting had no doubt seen ; and here he was prepared to give a similar answer. He was not insensible of the onerous nature of the office their kindness induced him to aspire to. He felt as deeply as any man could do, what were the heavy and solemn responsibilities of the office of a representative Of any constituency, and still more so, of a large and influential constituency, such as that which he had then the honour to address. The subject of popular representation was one upon which he had long and deeply reflected. It had appeared to hint that prosperity did, and must always depend to a great extent, on the intelligence, and purity, and honesty of government. He did not agree with some po-t, who bad I said:— " Dow few of all the ills that men endure, Are those which kings, or laws, can make or cure!" He believed if there was corruption, dishonesty, and wicked ness, among them in high places, and those who ruleda country, it was absolutely impossible that the prosperi d that country could, for any lung period , be preserved. ( Hear and applause.) Our government was what the constituency of the empire made it : we had something at any rate which approached to a popular representation, and he need not tell them that a popular representation might be an instrument of supreme good to a nation, or it might be an instrument of the most intolerable tyranny—an instrument of supreme good, if wielded by en honest intelligent people, an instrument of tyranny if wielded by electors depraved and corruptsi. (Cheers.) The qualifications ne misery for the representative of any constituency appeared to him to be capable of expression in a few words. He thought such a man should be honest, independent, and zealous, and that he should have a competent knowledge on public questions. He was not there to boast; he believed he did not think himself better than other men ; and he was sure there were many other men who had just as much and as good a claim to stand on that platform as himself. " No, no,") With respect to any qualifications he might have, he had only to refer to his past conduct, and allow them to form their own conclusion. He believed if he had enemies, they had been crested, rather by an excess of zeal on his part, than by the want of it ; and probably because he had on some occasions, perhaps out of season, spoken an opinion which it might have been more politic to have concealed. He would, with their leave, refer to some of those questions in which he had taken a part. Three years ago, partly by an accident and portly by strong opinions created in the city of Durham in favour of free trade, he became& member of the House of Commons. Many importantquentions had been discussed and voted upon since, and on no occasion was he sensible that lie had voted con trary or in opposition to his honestly-formed convictions. (Applause.) Every proposition in favour of free trade, as was to be supposed, had had his earnest and cordial support. Every proposition which appeared to him to hold out any rational prospect whatever of extending the basis of our popular representation had always found in him a supporter in parliament. (Applause.) He had taken some pains to bring before the public what he enncidere I a most grievous and intolerable abuse connected with the system of preserving game. (Loud cheers.) During nearly the whole of the session of 1845, and some weeks of 184 d, he had been engaged on a select committee inquiring into the effects, and he was hold to say, that no honest or unpre , judiced man could read even a small portion of that evidence without coming to the conclusion that there required (some might say a very great alteration), he would say a legislative interference in the system of preserving wild animals in this country. (Applause). There had been but one occasion when his opinions on the subject of religious endoa molts could be tested, and that was, an occasion more than any other that he could name, trying to a person holding the political opinions which he did. Ile was tempted by con siderations of political convenience to vote for the klaynooth Grant; he was tempted by his strong sympathy with an in sulted and injured nation. (Loud applause). He woe tempted by the request of some most excellent men in the constituency which represented but neither then nor at any future time, should anything on earth ever induce him to give a vote that could give strength and permanency to a system, he believed to be injurious to national liberty. (Applause.) There was another question which deeply interested some portion of the population of this district on which he had given more than one vote, the question of legislative interference with the hours of labour in factories. Now, there were, he doul,ted not, in that meeting, many men who disagreed with him, upon that important question ; but if he NriS returned as the representative of this constituency, unless he raw dream -1 stances, which he had not yet seen, to alter his opinion, and which he could scarcely hope to see, he could give to those individuals no hope whatever that he should sanefon any interference with the labour of the adult papulation of this coontry by the law. (Expressions of disapprobation, followed by counter-cheering.) Now, he eonfesoed, although he was by some deemed courageous or rash, in the political changes which he advocated, that he had not the courage to advocate such a measure. He was persuaded as he was of his own existence of the evils of the change which was advocated by those whom he opposer], and it was only ° because he was so convinced, that he set himself in opposition to many brevolent persons whose intentions he greatly es teemed, but whose measures he felt were calculated, and I would tend to inflict injury upon the very classes they were I dispooe Ito benefit. (Applause.) On all the questions he had alluded to, he believed he had no interest whatever which wasnot connected with the great math of the people. It was accident only that drew him first from private life ; he had no personal object to serve in Parliament. lie believed there was no office, no title, no honour, which government could offer him, that could in any way influence the vote which he should give, or the decision he might come to upon any ques firm. ( Applause ). In all these questions on which he had spoken, he coul4 declare his honest sincerity, that the decisions to which he had come, be they right or wrong, had been made with an earnest desire to do what was right. He came next to a question which had not as yet been before parliament, but which was exciting considerable interest — he alluded to the question of national education. Every one was in favour of national education, meaning the educa tion of the nation ; but they were not all in favour of this education being conducted by government, by act of parlia ment, or by municipal authorities, or by env other invo luntary effort. He must confess that his :leanings—mod it might seem an Irish ism to nay so—inclined him both ways at once. Hie leaning s would at first sight drew him towards any rystem which would seem to offer the chance of educating ilhabi, bat his busies in favour of the voluntary Prinalli hears kW te it would be better that the Imelda Arabi (Loud applause.) Until sOw he us piaa la nab mined by any yienffila who hadepoken urea this question which had obtained soy large 111111111 M a support. h appeared to him is be a mamma thatreharamer, that no two men could be 'mind who speed ups* the details or even upon the principle. The plans of Dr. awake and others, though there was much plausibility ,abolt them, did not appear to combine the elements of • sodium Arun ciently, even if the government had attempted to carry them into effect. Theta was a greed mistake which some friends of national education dad made. They assumed that the volmatary effort was not sufficient to pro vide the number of schools which would be required for the annual increase of the population'; and they said, as had been often said in that hall, at the au trade meetiega, the population increases at the rate of 1,000 a day, or 3136,000 a year, and they said, how could any voluntary effort raise schools for so many ? Now tale was a mistake ; the in crease of births was only 10,000 a year ; and entwining each child would require three years ki , complete its education, which would probably be the average, the increase of schools required to meet it would be milysach as to include about 30,000 children. He believed that the vole/leery effort was sufficient -to fogad wheals ,Officient for that num ber. The very cry fee nati • spducation wis a proof to ne t him that, however much ed might be required, go vernment aid was less now then at any former period in the lifetime of the t generation—He thought there could not be a doubt at the present.moment, the means of education have grows more, comparqd with the whole population, that any former period. (Hear, hear,) That the people were tter educated thei&Xe—that the voluntary principle tremlia4igilLu kids of the people than bac. f anithe mely cantail -before we adopted the literffe • 111 1 what voluntary effort can effect woul be much better in the hands of government. (Hear, hear.) He believed that the indomitable spirit which made us so superior in commerce and manufactures to continental nations, was the result of relying upon individual effort, instead of government aid ; and he dreaded not only the diffi culty of rendering efficient government aid, but the effect which such aid might have in paralysin voluntary efforts. One of the public questions now under ' discussion in the newspapers, was the marriage of one of the sons of Louis Philippe to the Infin.e of Spain. There we.: not FO much harm to be apprehended from this match, as there was from the bitter feelings which these discussions tended to'foment. That hell was dedicated to free-trade and peace. They believed that whilst they were battling here and elsewhere against monopoly, they were • also battling against ships of war. (Hear, hear.) But if there was a talk of war it was a sympton that free-trade was making but slow prosiest,. His own opinion was, that Louis Philippe, having a large family, had not been tempted so much sews. suppos d by the hopes of a crown as of the handsome fortune of the Infanta. (Hear, bear.) He believed that if Louis Philippe really enter tained the insane project of uniting the two crowns at some distant day, there was a greater obstacle in the characters of the two people, even than in the Pyrenees, which formed the geographical boundary of the two countries. (Applause.) He deprecated the war-cry of the papers, too, because of the pleas these cries were continually giving the government for asking increased taxes. The public mind was now occupied with another question—that of Inland. He was not dis pose to lay all the blame to the government of its pre sent condition, though he believed it had been governed like most conquered countries, with a great ignorance of its inhabitants and a great disregard of all the laws which should guide the rulers of every oourtry. In his opinion, much of the evil 'rose from the prevailing antagonism existing for a century past between the religious parties of that country ; and he was convinced that one of two thingemust be done, — either that the Protestant establishment, so called, in that country, must be given up—(Loud cheers.)—or that, by some mode of public contribution, the ministry of the Catholic church must be placed on an equality with it. (Applause.) He did not say which would be most acceptable to him ; but that which should abolish the Protestant church in Ireland, so far as it was a political organization, was the one he should recommend—(Hear, hear) — He was for giving to Ireland, too, a system of electoral re gistration which should be as perfect and liberal, at least, es that which we possessed. And he would give it such a , 1 description of franchise as should place it en a par with this ; country. (Cheers.) Mr. Bright concluded by acknow ledging his deep obligation to the kindness of those friends, ' by whose invitatii n and active co-operation this meeting had been brought about ; and eat down amidst loud cheers. A resolution was subsequently moved by Mr. Woodley, and seconded by Mr. Shuttleworth, appointing an election committee. The list, which contained 340 names, was read and carried with applause.—The meeting then separated. 8ar5..... D"`e= 6 " 6- ti - L-. Gt.

BASINGSTOKE, Nov. 18.-Wheat was considerably in demand at last week's quotation. The picked beat white made 665. per quarter; some fine dry grinding, red, 131. per load; worse qualities at from 141. to 141. 10s. There ap peared more animation than on last market day. Best malting Barley was sought after at from 455. to 48s. per quarter; good grinding, at front 355. to 405., much being sold at those prices. Oats, hest fine, Potato or Poland, were making from 26e. to 30s. per quartet ; black, English or foreign, front 225. to 255. Beans and Peas about the same as last week ; very few at market. Malt sold at from Bs. Gd. to 95. per bushel. Flour from 48s. per Pack. Barley Meal, 20s. to 21s. per sack. I)EDDINGTON, Nov. 17.-Trade firm at last week's prices. Wheat, 525. to 58s. New Beans, 38s. to 425. ; old 40s. to 465. Boiling Peas, 4125. to 565. ; hoe, 36.. to 425. Barley, 335. to 425. Old Oats, 265. to 325. ; new, 225. to 28s. Vetches, 365. to 445. per quarter. HAYWARD'S 'HEATH, Nov. 18.-We have to report again a very full attendance, also a considerable quantity of Wheat pitched, of which nearly the whole was readily bought up ; the greater proportion being of a good quality and in excellent coadition. We also noticed samples through out the market, very many of which changed hands, at the following quotations: New white Wheat, 15/. 10s. per load ; old ditto , 14 /. los . to 151. ; new brown ditto, 14/. to 151. ; old ditto, 13/. 103. to IV. New Oats, 245. to 265. per quarter; old ditto, 265. to 28s. Peas, 455. to 465. Beans, 445. to 4Gs. NEWCASTLE, Nov. 17.-The weather continues highly propitious for seeding operations, which causes our farmers to supply our market sparingly with grain for the present. At our market this morning we had a moderate show of Wheat from the country, and the recent pressure of supplies from the coast being removed by the granary having been resorted to, the trade opened with more firmness and a fair extent of business was done at rather over the rates of this day se'nnight. in foreign the transactions were more free than of late, good useful Beattie being saleable at 61s. fxl. to 625. per quarter, 631bs. per bushel, and other sorts in proportion. Flour was held rather more firmly, but what sales took place yesterday were at slightly reduced rates. We call choice households, 465. ; and whites up to 48s. per sack respectively. Rye is much wanted, and anything extra would command 48s. without difficulty. Malting Barley without change ; grinding qualities very scarce and much sought after. In Beans or Peas little pasting. Oats in good demand and rather dearer. BELFAST, Nov. 16.-We have moderate supplies since Friday, and prices remain as then noted. The weather continues favourable, and our farmers are generally engaged in the fields planting Wheat, of which a fair breadth will be sown. Wheat, 111. fill. to 125.101. Barley, Bs. to 9s. 6d. Oats, Bs. 6d. to 9s. 9d ; Oatmeal, 16s. 6d. to 18s. per cwt. We have two arrivals of Indian Corn from America since Saturday, to the extent of about 600 tons. The price of Corn and Meal remains unchanged, 131. 15s. to 141. for the former, and 141.155. per ton for the latter. DUBLIN. Nov. 17.-The continuance of favourable weather has caused farmers to be so fully occupied with field labour, that our supplies have become less liberal. On this day's market Wheat fully sustained the rates of Friday, whilst the heavier descriptions of Oats and Barley, for &s -tilling purpoees, are 6d. per barrel highrr. The stocks of Flour are, however, very large, and this article, as also Oat. meal, is a heavy sale. The following was the general cur rency to the farmers : Wheat, red, 325. to 360.6 d.; white, 365. to 38s, per 230 lbs. ; Oat!, 16x, to 19s Gd. per 1,96 lbs. ; Bar- • Foanow.—The business hungered in Arnett daring the week anarsted le Meat 9,ooo3satingewheat. at p ricts rather blow those min the weeit. lipeeeitareprmentol any decline of eon =by dewing the steads, sad the quotations therefore re.

There was not a single toed of Hops brought to market to day, and the few weighed were most cf them thosi left unsold last market day. ANDOVER, NOV.lB.—There were net arum p?c:her sample. Mi.

Some few growers attended to the sales themselves, and among those were the Messrs. Stevens. Mr. Faulkner, and Mr. Barrett, all of Farnham ; Mr. Bennett, of Tiabury, and others.
