We cannot allow the grand and astonishing results of the late experiments with Locomotive Carriages on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway to pass, without once more calling the attention of our readers to the new prospects which open upon us from those experiments.— Wc have already expressed our sense of the very interesting and important character of the results which have been attained by the Locomo tive Engines : but this is a subject which ap pears the more important the longer and more attentively it is considered. We had intended to give several illustrations of the effects of this improved mode of conveyance, but this has already been so well done in articles.which we have extracted from the Scotsman and the Liverpool Times, that we need do little more than direct the attention of our readers to those arti cles. In mentioning the Scotsman, we should do to the Editor of that Paper an injustice if we did not remind our readers of the series of able papers which he wrote four or five years since on the capabilities of railways, and of which we made copious extracts in the _Hercur g . The calculations he then made of the speed which might be attained upon railways were ridiculed at the time, even by the engineers; we were always convinced of the substantial truth of those calculations, and their accuracy has now been fully established. Great credit is due to the Editor for the correctness with which he made his calculations, and the bold ness with which he followed them up to their results—grand and surprising as those results were. There is scarcely any more important means of advancing and perfecting the civilization of a country, than by a good system of internal com munication. The greater the facility of travel ling from place to place, the more active will be the social and commercial intercourse ; and the more ready the transmission of all the fruits of the earth and all the products of manufactures, the more rapid the communication of improve ments and inventions, and the more complete the dissemination of knowledge. Time is money in all operations requiring labour, and therefore a saving of time will be a saving of money. In every country there are tracts and situations which would be highly valuable but for their distance from towns and the more populous dis tricts ; by easy and quick modes of conveyance this disadvantage is overcome, and the most may be made of all the natural capabilities of the country. To a manufacturing country especially good communications are important : the supply of the raw material, and of the various commo dities necessary to the manufacture, is more quickly and cheaply obtained, and the goods are more quickly and cheaply sent to the home or foreign market. If railway conveyances should be extensively adopted in this country, we have no doubt that our manufacturers will derive im portant benefit from it in their competition with their foreign rivals ; their superiority will be still more decided than it is now, in the great branches of the cotton, the woollen, the linen, the silk, tire hardware, the cutlery, a►►d the earthenware manufacturers. The mere saving of time and money by the accelerated and cheap ened conveyance will make the difference of more than a profit on the goods. To the landowners the advantage will, if pos sible, be still greater—at least to those whose lands lie near the railways. The trifling expellee at which they will be able to send their produce to market, and to obtain manure, lime, &c., in re turn, will enable them to .dispense with the Con, Laws ; whilst the land in the neighbourhood of the railways will become of great value for build ing purposes. The merchants of Liverpool may now build their houses in the beautiful tract lying betwen Prescot and Woolton, or indeed half way to Manchester, far out of the reach of smoke, and yet run down to their counting houses in a quarter or half an hour after rising from the breakfast-table. For social purposes Liverpool and Manchester will be joined, and it will shortly be common for dinner parties in those towns to be composed indiscriminately of brokers and manufacturers, shippers and spinners. It requires no great stretch of imagination to suppose that the ladies of Manchester will ere long begin to make morning calls on their friends in Liverpool, and vice versa. It see - ins highly probable that in a'short time we shall travel on railways with ease at the speed of thirty miles per hour, and it is difficult for the imagination to foresee how great will be the changes produced by such a rate of conveyance. utp will, of course, be required to establish railways on the great lines of communication, and the utmost care should be taken to construct them on the best principles ; but the success of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and of the locomotive carriages upon it, renders it certain that this mode of conveyance will become general, and that the advantages which attend it will be realized to the community.—Leeds Mercury. - - - - THE MARKETS.

In the early part of the Nveek there was a moderate supply of Irish Grain, but the imports have since been very limited, particularly of Wheat. The storks of free Barley are increased 8,000 quarters, and those of Indian Corn 5875 quartet s, by the liberation of those quantities of foreign at a duty of 10s. 10d. per Imperial quarter. Owing to the scantiness of the farmers' deliveries during the last fourteen days, many of the country millers have been compelled to come to this market for their supplies; the consequence has been such a clearance of the New Wheat, that on Saturday there was scarcely a sample of Irish of good quality offering. New Oats have met with an equally brisk demand, nor have either Ohl Wheat or Oats been so entirely neglected as previously. Barleys are offering on lower terms, with a very limited sale ; sonic of the imports of his!' New are of good quality. Beans and Pease have each maintained previous quota tions. There are buyers of Bonded Flour at 225. per bar rel, and 28s. has been paid for small parcels for export. In other Lock Corn few transactions have occurred.— This morning's market was well attended by both town and country millers, and having only a very limited sup ply of New Wheats, such sold readily, at an advance of 3d. to 4d. per '7olb. on our quotations of this day se'n night ; Old was held at a similar improvement, but not much business transacted. Oats rather exceeded the cur rency of this day se'nuight, but 3s. Id. was with diffi culty obtained for the choicest parcels of New. We re duce our quotations for Barley 2d. to 3d. per 601 b. The value of Flour and Oatmeal remains the same as last noted. HULL MARKET.—Oct. 27. The supply of farmers' Wheat runs about the same, in point of quantity, as we have noticed for several weeks back ; the condition comes no better. All the best sam ples are taken at our top quotations by the millers as they are shown, while the middling soft parcels are exceedingly difficult to quit, even if offered at lower rates : the very finest samples of Old foreign maintain late prices, but the quantity of this description is very limited ; for secondary qualities we have very little demand, and to effect sales lower prices would be taken. In Oats we have very little doing, but on what is passing late prices are with diffi culty supported. Beans dull sale, and Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. Very little passing in Barley ; the best samples of good coloured New arc selling at 255. to 30s. per quarter, nothing doing in grinding parcels. Rape seed and Linseed without alteration.

EARLE. This case, the details of which were entirely-des -itute of public interest, occupied the greater-part of the morning in consequence of the extraordinary mariner in - which the defence was conducted ; the •lefendant, a gentleman of nearly 70 years of age, timing appeared in person. The action was brought by an attorney, of Liverpool, to recover the amount his bill of costs for business done for the defend- Int in a cause of " Menzes r. Rigby," in the Court , f Chancery. The demand was resisted on two grounds—first, that the plaintiff (Mr. Rowson) had neglected his duty as the defendant's solicitor; and, secondly, that he had improperly refused to continue the conduct of the cause, and abandoned it at a time when it was necessary to take an important step on the defendant's behalf. The reasonableness of the plaintiff's charges (which had been taxed) was proved, and there was no dispute that the business had been done. The defendant, in a very elaborate cress-examination of each of the plaintiff's witnesses, endeavoured to show that the plaintiff had not conducted the cause properly. Lord TENTERDEN was obliged frequently to check the defendant in his mode of cross-examining the witnesses. Finding him persist in putting improper questions to one of them, and justifying himself by saying that the, facts which he wished to elicit were material to his defence, his Lordship said, emphati• cally, " Then put your questions differently ; this cause must have an end, otherwise it will be like a Chancery suit."—(Great laughter.) The Defendant—My dear Sir, I will endeavour not to occupy more time than is necessary. In his address to the Jury, which occupied up wards of an hour, the defendant went into all the circumstances connected with the Chancery suit, but the Jury, without hesitation, found for the plain tiff—Damages 761. 6s. WOOD V. SMITH. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Cußwoon) stated, that this action was brought by Mr. Wood, a coachmaker, of Long-acre, to recover back from the defendant, a coal-merchant, at Hamp ton, the sum of 2.51., the price of a mare which he had sold to the plaintiff in January last, at which time she was unsound. There would, he believed, be no dispute about the unsoundness. The only question would be, whether or not the defendant, at the time of the sale, knew that she was unsound, he having stated, when the bargain was made, that she was sound " for any thing he knew to the con trary." Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2.5/. THE KING V. MATTHEW WHITE. This was an indictment charging the defendant with having converted to his own use certain Ex chequer-billi and Bank-notes, which had been depo sited in his hands by one Ann Hubert, as her agent, with a written order to invest the proceeds in Go vernment securities on her account. 54 Verdict—Not Guilty. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, OCT. 28. MURRAY V. NICHOLLS AND OTHERS. This was an action of false imprisonment, libel, and trover. In 1827, the plaintiff, a young gentle man, then about 19 years of age, and stated to be the son of a Magistrate in Ireland, had projected, in connection with two other individuals, the publi cation of an expensive work, consisting of a series of maps of the roads and inland navigation of Great Britain, towards which several subscriptions were obtained. About the same petiod the defendants, Messrs. Nicholls, Walker, and Priestley, were en gaged in a similar undertaking ; and having been introduced to Mr. Murray, they proposed to him to unite with them in carrynig on a joint work by sub scription. After some negotiation on the subject, it was agreed that Mr. Murray should become a partner in the work with Messrs. Nicholls, Walker, and Priestley, and receive a fourth share of the pro fits in consideration of his services, and furnishing a list of subscribers to the number of 1,000. In some time afterwards the defendants proposed to the plaintiff, as he was under age and therefore could not execute a deed of partner,hip, that he should for the prestmt act in the capacity of their agent, offering at the same time to remunerate him liberally for his services. This proposal he rejected, and went from Wakefield, where the defendants resided, to Leeds, retaining his subscriptions in his possession. The defendants sent an officer after him, who seized his luggage, having persuaded the book-keeper to de liver it up to him, and the plaintiff went on to Man chester without a change of dress. But this was not all ; for the defendants, Nicholls, and Walker, went before a Magistrate at Wakefield, where one of them having drawn up, and the other signed, a deposition, on oath, stating that the plaintiff had been in their service as agent, or canvasser, and had by that means become possessed of certain chattels or books of theirs, which he had feloniously em bezzled and converted to his use, the Magistrate upon such information issued a warrant for his appre hension, which was immediately dispatched after him to Manchester, where it was executed by a constable. The Magistrate having heard the nature of the ac cusation against him, ordered the plaintiff to be dis charged forthwith. No further proceedings were instituted against him, but the defendants circulated an advertisement through the country, cautioning the public not to give him any subscriptions, as he had, whilst in their service embezzled their hooks and run away, and stood at that time charged with felony. Ilia portmanteau, or any of its contents, had never been restored to him. Such were the grievances for which he sought redress in the pre sent action. The five first counts set forth the false imprisonment ; the three next, the libel contained in the advertisement; and the ninth was in trover, for the value of the trunk. The defendants suffered judgment by default as to all the counts, except the five first; to these they pleaded the general.issue. The Jury, after having retired for about half an hour, returned into Court, finding a verdict for the plaintiff, with 5001. damages against Nicholls and Walker, on the counts for malicious prosecution ; 3001. against the three defendants on the counts fur libel ; and 10/. against the three defendants, on the count in trover—making altogether the sum of 810/. damages for the plaintiff. A STORY NOT FOUND IN MUNCHAUSEN. —The old saying, that to save a liar you must tell a greater falsehood yourself, was recently illustrated in the following manner :—A Mr. T. was amusing some friends in a public room with the wonders of America, and stated that a few summers ago, pigeons flew over the town of Bal timore in such flocks, that the sun was sometimes darkened for hours, and they were sold in the market at 441. a thousand. Mr. T.'s hearers ventured to doubt the truth of the story, when a Mr. C. interposed, and said he per fectly believed the tale, for an equally extraordinary cir cumstance happened to himself. •' When I was a boy," said he, "my father's farm was regularly visited by my riads of crows, to the great detriment of seed, &c. When driven from one field, they went to another, and we never could pursue them further than an immense elm tree on the boundary. At last, I bought some bird-lime, with which I completely covered this tree, and contrived to di rect the flight of the intruders to their favourite retreat. I then fired ! when, alarmed by the report, they flapped their wings and soared, tree and all, completely out of sight, I never saw either of them or the tree from that day till this !" Even Mr. T. could not swallow this, but stared at 'he narrator, who replied, " Why, 1 believed poor story, and its ungrateful if yo❑ don't believe mine." POTATOEA. We insert a letter signed •' R. J." on the use of potatoes as food for the labouring poor. Its the opinion of the writer we very much coincide Potatoes are a very fit esculent to lower the food of the opulent and to diminish their consump tion of richer viands, but as the sole support of the poor, as a substitute for bread, they are to tally inadequate. Man cannot live upon them long, in health and strength, whatever may be .;did of the Irish. Indeed, the argument derived from the free use of the potato by. that , people. would, if a clue examination of their physical State were to take place, prove the very reverse of its affording wholesome and adequate nourish metil td the human body. While we are upon this subject we shall add a few words on the use of Indian corn, about which some stir is making. We have been for , calleda k s e) e l e w o 'a r y n s — b i e n e gres. and where it is ere , g i,,-,sut the south of Europe, a n nd iny lu y a e l a it r i s es pe t r i i i i; r c o tt u y acquainted with its culture nrquie. There never could be any questi o n but it could grow and ripen in England ; for in England, in fact, it has always been grown as an object of curiosity. The shop-wine dows of our seedsmen in London have con stantly exhibited specimens of it, and they have had the grain for sale centuries ago.— But who would grow this trash that can grow wheat ? By itself the Indian corn makes a nauseous clammy bread of a bright yellow co lour, and if mixed with wheat, it has not half the heart and support in it that are to be found in wheaten and rye bread, mixed in the same proportions. Let any one, in proof of this, look at our hardy and muscular population in th 4 north of England, who have no other bread than that of this latter description. The two ktmh of corn are there sown, grown, and reaped together, and are called hard-corn or meslin ; and a whole some nourishing bread it makes. At the two extremities of Italy the poor rim? two kinds of bread, the produce of their respec , tive regions. At the foot of the Alps they have a bread made of chestnuts. In the Abruzzi rossi Calabria their bread is constituted this India 4 corn, and the two kinds are equally wretched. The chestnut bread of the Alps occasions nodo-' sities, swelled joints, and ultimately contracted limbs. The Indian corn bread gives swine the mange, and man the scurvy. But where no thing else can be produced, man must be content to sustain life on such terms as he can. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sta,—The amelioration of the present food of the poor being the subject and object of the following', observations, it is hoped they will not be tbotrglr unworthy the columns of your valuable paper, in a more especial manner is noticed the rapidity wlth which potatoes are gainin g upon bread. That pp verty has constrained a great part of the people of England almost entirely to forego the use of bread, and to have recourse to potatoes as a substitute, must have forced itself upon the notice of all whose leisure permits the inquiry. Passing the question, whether potato cultivation is more or less profitable to the agriculturist, it forms part of the present in quiry, if on the whole the nation does not, in per haps every point of view, lose by this change of food. As an esculent accompanying meats, we all admit its excellent and agreeable qualities, and thus asso ciated, a labourer may bid the retirement of the wheaten loaf; but though he may be too often des titute of the means of procuring meat, that it should come to pass that this root, varying so much as it does in quality, should, from the high price of bread, form the chief, sometimes the sole, food of the pro• verbially well-fed Englishman, is a thought enough to rouse the deepest feelings of the whole kingdom, and calls for legislative intervention to stop its fur• Cher progress. No proprietor, no legislator, not is Nobleman in the land, would surely afford such a civic triumph to our Continental neighbours. Potatoes sustain life in common with other edible vegetable matter; but they do not satisfy, much less gratify, the demands of nature as bread does. The latter replenishes the system of itself, unaided by flesh meats, whilst such meagre food as the former, a root sometimes of a quality almost worthless, pro vokes and nurses a desire of ardent spirits, and places the individual so miserably fed in the situation of a traveller whose fare being courser than usual, finds consolation in extending the indulgence of strong potations. Poor nouriture may chive a whole people into habits of drunkenness, into which, with better fare, few, comparatively, would be led; thus we may soon see the hitherto steady, industrious, joyous English people, changed into a nation of miserable, turbulent drunkards. What a bequest for future legislators ! In Europe, inebriety prevails less in those coun tries where wheaten bread is universally attainable ; it forms the greater part of human sustenance, even where a great variety of flesh meat and fish is ok tained at little cost. The potato root, increasing with us in the ratio of the poverty of the laborious, ought not to be permitted to usurp dominion over the fairest productions of our soil. The farmers of North America, who cultivate wheat extensively, have, from time to time, put to the test of husbandry some new object of economical cultivation, endea vouring to obtain a nutritious, and agreeable, and a cheaper aliment than wheaten bread. Yet these ex periments, even in their favourable summers, have not been very successful, and wheaten bread still re mains their common food ; for though the meal of Indian corn or maize is palatable, and much used for cu linary purposes instead of wheaten flour, it cannot be made into bread. Having said thus much ofthiscorn,it may be observed that it can hardly be expected to mature in our climate, Lut in a continually dry I.ar vest-season : its produce therefore would be uncer tain, and its cultivation illusory, for any permanently useful purpose. Experiments may falsify this opi nion; nevertheless, it is advanced with some know ledge of its culture and of the climates in which it thrives. It is worthy remark, that though raised in the part of Europe washed by the Mediterranean Sea, the cultivation of this grain has not spread far northward of those latitudes. Wheaten bread, then, is to us the true staff of life, as such it has main tained itself through the lapse of centuries, and de gradation, with its other destructive consequence , , will attend the change. Evils so productive of their baneful species it is the interest and duty of every one, by all possible and proper ways, to endeavour to avert. What means a labouring man with a family has of procuring a sufficiency of bread will be seen by viewing his situation a little closely. His wages, when in full employment, are 12s. a week ; they may be less, hut, it is to be feared, sel dom more. This scarcely, if at all, permits himself, his wife, and five young children, to live entirely on coarse wheaten bread ; the value of a pound of such bread is a fraction more than 2d.: allotting a pound to each individual per diem, more than eight shil lings of the above sum would be thus expended ; the wife, under favourable circumstances, may earn eneugh to purchase the clothing of herself and family, and occasionally scanty A upplies of meat and gro ceries; the remainder of his wages are demanded for house-rent and a miserable supply of fuel ; his own clothing must be obtained by extra la bour, or a course of privations, by turns of eco nomy, or by adventitious expedients which that, class of people only know or can endure. Pota toes and mead, then, divide his fare. It would be well, however, if we could see our labourers, the faithful cultivators of the soil, in the universal and permanent possession of such a provision.. What„,„ then, is the condition of those who are but.partly it-22- ) employed !
