CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat. All good and fine quali ties commanded fully previous rates, but inferior parcels were much neglected. Barley and all other kinds of spring Porn had an upward tendency, whilst the flour trade was tolerably healthy. Throughout the Continent wheat has continued in request at extreme rates. Other descriptions of produce hare realised very full prices, with a good export demand. The shipments of produce from the United States continue on a very large scale. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were limited. From abroad they amounted to 47,498 quarters of wheat, 7,015 barley, 11,681 oats, 3,150 beans, 25 peas, 3,628 tares, 7,909 linseed, 1,405 rapeseed, 560 sundry seeds, 7,977 sacks and 35,223 barrels of flour. Compared with Monday last the arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day were on the increase, and in some • what improved condition. For nearly all kinds the demand ruled inactive; nevertheless, factors were firm in their de mands, and in the moderate sales effected last week's prices were supported. Millers, generally, owing to the continued influx of produce from abroad, showed no disposition to increase their stocks. We were somewhat heavily supplied with foreign wheat. Most descriptions were in steady retail request, chiefly for inland consumption, at prices equal to Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were a moderate demand at about previous rates. There was a good demand for barley, especially for the few fine samples on offer, and in some instances prices were rat her higher. Malt was in short supply, and good request at full quo tations. Tho show of oats was only moderate, and the oat trade was firm at 6d per quarter more money. Beans commanded extreme rates, with a good demand. There was a steady sale for peas at eztre me quotations, at is to 2s more money. The demand for flour was somewhat restricted at about last Monday's currency. The supply of foreign on offer was large. commence on the 15th November, wl 'len about 40,000 b a h will be offered. There is a fair busi 'less doing in foreign and colonial qualities, at previous ra , ;es;, but English parcels ste a dull inquiry. No imports to ok place into London last week, .t• Railways.

Sales progressed heavily, on lower terms. The supply of home•fed beasts was tolerably good, but there was a great deficiency in the quality of all breeds. The heaviness in the trade in the dead markets produced great inactivity in the demand for all kinds of beasts, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs. It must be under stood that the extreme value for Scots did not exceed 4s 6d per Blbs. 108 Fre.= Liuuelushire, Leicestershire, and Northampton.. shire we received 2,520 shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 1,000 various breeds; and from Ireland, 200 oxen, &c. Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was only moderate, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy. Prime Downs and hall'-breds supported last week's currency, but in some bar.tances tha value of long wools had a drooping tendene:y. The general quality of the sheep was inferior. C'alves were in short supply, and steady request, at full quotations. We have to report much less activity in the demand for pigs, the prices of which were with difilculty supported.

She called Mr. Bucks tone to her assistance, and on his going to the door with the boy the prisoner immediately started off, but was captured by Mr. Bean, a constable of the C division. Samuel Pond, shop boy to the complainant, gave, in a very intelligent manner, confirmatory evidence. George Maddans, a constable of the C division, said that in May last he had the prisoner at this court on a similar charge, when he had three months. Mr. Lewis said after this evidence he should decline to call witnesses in the prisoner's favour. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho felt no doubt in the case, and the prisoner had no reason to complain of his advocate for not calling witnesses. lie looked upor.him as a pest of society and a base offender— far worse tb an thoso who were brought before him for pilfering. He should commit him for three months with hard labour, TYA-lAMES. SANGUINARY ArPr.ly 13IONG GERNIANC—Casper Henry Sherbremer, P. German sugar baker, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stabbing Jacob Lunt, or Lynch, and Henry Bruell, two other Germans. Bruell, whose hand and arm were bandaged, said he went to the Black Horse public-house in Fieldgate-street, Whitechapel, on Saturday night. There was music and Alancing going on. He went up stairs and joined in the revelries. The prisoner was there, and he was very tight and quarrelsome. Witness said, " Why do you quarrel, we are all country people here," on which the prisoner stabbed a man on the head. That man was in the hos pital, and was expected to die. Mr. Selfe—And wkat did he do to you ? Witness—Then he stabbed me on the head and on the arm, and I lost a good deal of blood. Mr. Selfo—What did you say to him ? Witness—All I said was, "What do you want to fight for ? " and then he took out his knife and stabbed us. The prisoner, in German, said he had witnesses to prove that it was not him that inflicted the wounds. Martin Schensefeil, a baker, said he was sitting at a table alongside the musicians, while his country people were dancing, and the prisoner took up a knife and stabbed 'the man who was in the hospital on the head. Mr. Dutus, a Prussian, who acted as interpreter, said that the musicians who were present at the Black Horse on 'Saturday night would attend and give evidence, if necessary. Mr. Selfe—l have a medical certificate that the man in the hospital is in a dangerous condition. I shall remand the prisoner until Tuesday, the 6th of November. IBIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

FRIGHTFUL MACHINERY ACCIDENT AT WEDNES- BußY.—Two MEN KILLED.—An accident of a terrible nature occurred on Wednesday morning at Portway-road Axletree Works, Wednesbury, by which two men, named respectively Thomas Bishop and James Grayley, lost their lives. The circumstances connected with the sad calamity are as follows :—Mr. Edwin Richards, proprietor of the above-named works, had been having a new engine put down, and the two unfortunate men, Bishop and Grayley, ' were engaged in the masonry department. About 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning., the engine being at work, Bishop was about to descend a shaft, at which he had been work ing, for the purpose of procuring a better water supply, and Grayley was in the act of assisting him in his descent, when the rope by means of which he was being let down caught one of the nuts on the coupling box. The adjoining wheel was then making about 40 revolutions per minute, and the two poor men were carried round the machinery, their bodies being mangled in a most frightful manner. The engineer stopped the engine immediately, but not in time to prevent fatal results. Bishop, whose legs wore cut right off, and his abdomen torn horribly, lived about two hours after wards. Grayley, though apparently less injured, died in an hour afterwards, having sustained a fracture of the skull, and had one of his legs broken. It need hardly be said that an accident of so shocking a nature spread considerable consternation amongst those engaged in the works, and in fact the locality generally manifested intense excitement and alarm, the greatest interest and sympathy being ex pressed respecting the deceased. Bishop, who is we believe . a single man, was a b ou t 45 y ears o f ago , an d li ve d at Top. Grayley was 10 years younger, a married man with three children. The bodies of both have been removed,. and information has been forwarded to the coroner, who will probably hold his inquiry this day. singular that only a few feet from the spot wh ere two unfortunate men met with their death, !l e be was killed some two years ago by machinery at which working in his ordinary occupation.—Birmingham Daily Post. w is he:F an th i N i a : s e INCREASE OF SMOKIN6 IN F RA NCE. —The con sumption of tobacco in France incre ases in an immense proportion.

Nothing can b e more grateful to any man who is engaged in public life, than to meet, as it is my good fortune to-day to do, a large and respectable assenablage of his fellow countrymen, gathered together to give him that welcome which in any county is cordial, but which I know is in York shire more hearty than anywhere else; and to receive also in that cordial and hearty welcome a testimony of at least personal good will, even though that good will may i n some cases proceed from those who may politically differ with him upon many important matters. (Hear, hear.) On these occasions, gentlemen, it is personal intercourse be tween those who are engaged in the task of governing, and those who contribute,by their industry, their activity, the a• intelligence, and their individual prosperity to the great/ seas and happiness of the country of which they are w orthy members. (Hear, hear.) I appear before you, ger'Alemen, however, not merely in the character of one of the servants of the public and of the Crown, for I happen to b' d your near neighbour—(cheers) —and though the interest which I have in your neighbourhood may be c omparatively small, yet I can assure you that I feel the hono ur of being a neighbour of great and prosperous comrarmities because I share in the advantage which those pro' , perous and indus trious communities scatter through the range which sur rounds their seat. (Hear, hear.) You have been pleased, Mr. Mayor, to advert to the duties which it has fallen to my lot to perform in conducting the foreign relations of the country. I cannot take credit for anything in that department which may have mer;ted your approbation ; because the man, whoever he rr.ay be, who is entrusted with the task of representing, towards foreign countries the power, the dignity, and the commanding position of this great nation, is arme , ,, with means which, unless he grossly shrinks from tb,e performance of his duty, must lead him to accomplis' a ends which are sure to obtain the assent and o' , ncurrence of his fellow -country men. (Applause) It was no doubt the study of the Government, of which I have the happiness of having been a member, while on the one hand we maintained the interests, the honour, and the dignity of our own country, to exert that influence which we were able to command, as representing the British nation, to favour and prosper those principles of civil and political liberty abroad, of which we have seen at home the great and splendid fruits. (Ap plause.) We were happy to be successful in many of the attempts which we made in that direction ; and it is our gratification to think that there are many nations of the continent whose political and civil position has been greatly improved, owing mainly no doubt to their own patriotic exertions, but assisted by the countenance and support which they received from the Government and people of England. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, you have adverted to domestic affairs. It is impossible, in this free country, where every man has, as he has a right to have, his own opinion —where men are not accustomed to bow to the de cision of others—where every man examines for himself, reasons for himself, comes to his own conclusions, and strong in the convictions which examination has produced, maintains boldly and manfully his own position against any difference that may arise from others ; it is not, I say, in such a country as this that any man can expect to meet, as I now do, a great and respectable assemblage of his fellow countrymen, and reckon that he shall find among them unanimous consent to the particular opinions which he himself may entertain. But it is by the conflict of different opinions—it is by the examination not only of our own con victions, but of those of others who differ from us—it is by that perpetual and constant agitation of mind, and conflict of reason and opinion—that sound ultimate conclusions are arrived at, which are found to be satisfactory, if not to the whole, at least to the great majority of a thinking and reflecting people. I trust, gentlemen, that that has hitherto been the course of events, as far as regards that administra tion of which it has been my good fortune to be a member. And I am persuaded that such will be for ever the course which any body of men will pursue who may be worthy of being entrusted with the conduct of the national affairs of this great country. You have, Mr. Mayor, adverted to a circumstance which, indeed, is most illustrative of the pro gress of human affairs. You have contrasted this magni ficent structure, the work of modern improvement— calculated to supply the wants of the day, to fulfil those desires and requirements of modern civilisation— you have contrasted it with that ancient and venerable relic of former periods which still forms an interesting ornament to your town. (Hear, hear.) Well, Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, that is a most instructive lesson as to the course of human events ; and well may we congratulate ourselves that we are now standing in this hall of commerce—in this sanctuary of industry—instead of being assembled within the walls intended for defence against external attack, cramped in the exertions of industry, and trembling for an axious future. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is indeed a useful lesson to all who are disposed to read ; and it shows how the progress of enlightenment, the progress of intel lect, the diffusion of knowledge, the increase of civilisation, the augmentation of civil and political liberty—how these things lead to personal and collective security, and how that great aggregate tends, by increasing the security of property, to afford a safe development for industry (applause)—to multiply the happiness of the people, to in crease the wealth and the power of the country, and to con duce to all the improvement in society which every day more and more qualifies men to ffll the dignified position which his Creator destined for him in this life. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I congratulate you all upon having a Corpora tion animated by public spirit such as that which has sug gested the creation of this noble fabric ; and I am persuaded that it will conduce as much to the improvement and de velopment of the industry and resources of the town, as it redounds to the honour of the body who suggeated and accom plished it. I again beg, Mr. Mayor, to return you and the Corporation my sincere thanks for the honour you have done, in the address which you have had the goodness to hand to me. (Loud cheers.) XR. DREW, THE IRISH CaJLEDIAN. Judging from the observations of the leading Dublin journals, we have reason to congratulate the theatrical world on the appearance of a most worthy remplacaht of the late and much lamented Tyrone Power, in the person of Mr. John Drew, who is playing at the Theatre Royal, Dublin, where he has met with extraordinary success in several of poor Power's favourite characters. In quoting the following from the Irish Times of Saturday we cannot help observing that Mr. John Drew would be a very great acquisition to the London stage : —THEATRE ROYAL, DUBLIN.—Last evening Mr. Drew made his fourth appearance before a well-filled house, when he considerably augmented the suc cess which attended his debut. We admired 'him more last night than we did on Moiday evening. He was more at home. He seemed to be on better terms with his audience, and he was perfectly free from ,055 little embarrassments and that nervousness which in variably attend a data, but which become almost oppressive when accompanied by the consciousness of making a " first eppearanco" in one's native city. If in his representation of the Irish Ambassador—the most difficult Irish character on the stago—porsons ix search of faults, and given to hyper critical observations, consider he fell short of poor Power's realisation, lie, nevertheless, exhibited a correct appreciation of the part, and rendered many of its more salient and deli cate points with a richness and a humour which provoked the most side-splitting laughter, and made us oblivious of captious criticism. _ln "Handy Andy" we may say he is ini mitable, incomparably comic. From the moment he enters the stage to the fall of the " drop" he never relaxes the hold he has on the house. The character is, of course, an :ex ceptional one—a humorous exaggeration as drawn by Lover; but making proper allowan ces for the i dth culties of narrative, Andy is the representative of a class not yet extinct in the country, and looking at Mr. Drew's representation of this typ e we mu s t say it was . per fect—perfect in all its faults and iroper.fections. But it was not a burlesque. While it was. ludicrous, an . d perhaps coarse, it was free from caricaturing ; and, while . we w ere convulsed with the most boisterous laughter at absur ditiesits. we w !r . e compelled to admit their and peculiarities, truth and the consummate ability of the actor. We have no doubt that, af ter a very shortacquaintance, Mr. D rew will b eco me a decid ed favourite with his fellow-citisen, of Dublin TO 4:4lCtrFeT, orrEtelle:Fourthly GLOIRE.--Of the prin ciplestooTfhtihrdel HOW endeavoured to set forth there can hardly be combustible Fi rs t : iron vessels without any doubt. combustible compounds of the foe.

Two NIGHTS IN A CHALK PIT.—A singular accident lately occurred at Clapton, near Hungerford. A man was gathering nuts about mid-day on Monday in a hedge row on the farm of Mr. Thomas Owen, and fell into a chalk pit eighteen feet deep, which was overgrown with brambles, and therefore not easily discovered. The pit Was only a short distance from the road, and the man, who states that he heard people passing, and called as loudly as he could, was not discovered until mid-day on Wed nesday, when a little boy who was nutting, ran to Mr. Owen's farm, and gave an alarm. The poor fellow was got ont by the aid of a ladder, and having been kindly attended to by Mr. Owen's family was soon enabled to walk home. He had a piece of bread and a handful of nuts in his pocket when he fell into the pit, but could not eat either. Ire states that he slept well the first night, but passed 111 whole of the second night in prayer, and had worked y tops of his fingers raw in endeavouring to climb nil t_,e . sides of the pit. The pit was a common chalk pit, a s 8 9 7 -with a shaft, and was fenced round about f0ur . y9. 1 : ., ;;. —ll7,usbo / but the fencing had income much decayed. idevVot; • 88,022 112,012 46,322 4,640 2,893 9,780 1,082 6,013 2,161 THE CONFERENCES AT WARSAW. A letter from Warsaw, dated October 25, says : —"lt is impossible to send any news of the Con ferences, for the very good reason that there have not been any conferences at all, in the meaning usually attached to the word. Doubtless, interviews have taken place between the different statesmen and ministers who accompany their Sovereigns. There have been visits and conversations, but no diplomatic conferences in plenum. Will there be any ? Many doubt it. All I can say is, that Russia and Prussia are animated by the idea of conciliation, and the alarm entertained of a new Holy Alliance is totally unfounded. A coalition lagainst ranee has been hinted at. Russia and PrUS S ' .a have met with a view of conciliating the int'Jrests and necessities of France with those of the o ther States. " On the 23,1 there was a grand review of about 30,000 men —cavalry, infantry, and artillery—in the plain of Pawockski. An immense multitude assembled to w i tness it. " The th ree Soverei gns, with other Princes, ar rived on the field about half-past 12 in droschskies the two Emperors in the same carriage, the Prince Regent and Grand Duke Heir -apparent in another. They then mounted their chargers, and, followed by a brilliant Staff, passed the troops in review. In the evening Prince Gortschakoff, the Viceroy of Poland, gave a splendid ball. There were about 600 guests, including many of the noblest names of Poland. The Emperor of Austria and the Heir apparent of Russia danced several dances. Th e Emperor Alexander and the Prince Regent did not share in the dancing. The three Sovereigns walked about the rooms, making themselves as agreeable as possible, and I could not observe any trace of anxiety on either of their countenances. A magni &Ent supper was serv e d a t h a lf- pas t 12. The Emperor of Austria occupied the centre of the table of honour, having on his right the Princess Gort schakoff and the Emperor Alexander ; on his left Countess Frances Potocka and the Prince Regent. " It is curious to observe the feeling of hatred which exists here towards Austria. The same feel ing exists in Germany. When the Czar left St. Petersburg for Warsaw he is reported to have said to his aides-de-camp, so as to counterbalance the bad impression caused by the news of the intended interview with the Emperor of Austria, Gentle men, it has been said that I have spontaneously invited the Emperor of Austria to Warsaw; it is not so. The Emperor Francis Joseph requested me to meet him in that city, and I confined myself to the reply that I should be happy to receive him.' " I cannot vouch for the truth of the anecdote, but, at all events, it faithfully represents the feel ings of the Russian army towards Austria. " Last night Court theatricals were given at the charming little Salle de l'Orangerie. This beautiful little theatre, situate in the centre of the Lazienki park, is a perfect gem, and does not hold more than 250 or 300 persons. The Sovereigns and Princes occupied the two front boxes, the invited guests the other seven boxes and stalls. The " C'orsaire" (ballet), by Mazilliers, was given. While the offi cial world was witnessing the ballet, the multitude thronged the Lazienki-park, which was illuminated like fairyland. " reopen my letter to add, that a sudden change has taken place in the plans of the Sove reigns. The hunting party, which was to have taken place on Saturday at Skierniewice, is coun termanded. To-morrow morning the Emperor of Austria and the Prince Regent will leave for their respective capitals. At 5 p.m. the Emperor Alexander will start direct for St. Petersburg. Alarming news respecting the health of the Dowa ger Empress has caused this sudden break-up. TB.II CONVICT MULLINS. There is an error in the statement that has gone the round of the press, that David Mullins, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Emsley, was ordered for execution on Monday, the 12th of November. When Mr. Sheriff Abbis, Mr. Sheriff Lusk, with the Under-Sheriffs Eagle ton and Gammon, Mr. Jones, the Governor, and Mr. Davis, the Ordinary visited him, he was distinctly informed that Monday, the 19th of November, was the day appointed for carrying the sentence into execution. THE LIVINGSTON EXPEDITIONS. By the arrival of the steam ship Athens we are put in possession of some interesting details of the progress of Dr. Livingston and his fellow -travellers in the interior of Africa. The following are extracts of letters received from the Rev. J. Moffat, one of the Zambesi missionaries : " NYA T E , N 1 , k r T euri A nit v ß ii ice E ar L t,L E ioi COUNTRY, n K .from. April 1, 1860. " We have had nothing since we sent away our ,ast post at the beginning of the year, so you may imagine we are in a state of darkness. Moselikatse has a mania for trade, and would like to make us all traders if he could. We have been busy the last thrae months in gardens, and in getting up some sort of dwellings. My wife and I are still, however, in a native hut and in our tent. Our cottage is approaching completion. I have per sonally little to complain of in Mozelekatze's treatment, considering what he is ; but such despo tism as his, especially as the man is nearly in his dotage, involves much that is trying to our patience and unplecsant to our feelings. These matters are however of little moment; it is our helplessness in regard to that which is our first and great duty that we feel. I am sorry to say that our wheat has utterly failed. We were here too late to sow it in the proper season: Unless unexpected r s n up' plies come, we may have to take to nativeofco_.l..,, which is queer stuff compared to our staff place, lll. but The other letter is from the same dated the 9th of May, 1860 .

Mr. and Mrs. Mac kenzie, of the London Missionary Society, had passed Se c h e li s on their journey to the Makoldo, where they i ntend to stay for the future. A great many traders h a d reached as far as Sechelis during the s were eason ; they were English colonial people, but accompanied by the Kurumans. Elephants were scarce, and the hunting season bad. The hos pitality of the natives had greatly abated since the last accounts. THE GREAT EASTERN.—The Carmarthen Journal of Friday says that no steps beyond those of cleaning and paying her bottom, and painting her outsid e , h ave yet b een taken for fitting this wonderful vessel for another voyage. There she lies at Neyland, safe from all casualties, pro perly moored, and her supports (donkeys as they are called) greatly strengthened of late. This looks as though it was not intended to move her for some time; nor, indeed, need such be the case, iriless she could be freighted, seeing that she is safer there than anywhere else, and that, too, vial: out expense, there being neither harbour nor other f or l d'° at ! chargeable against her. It may be pretty sure ly tak en granted that she will occupy her pre s e n t positionl ea se during the forthcoming winter.
