REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. The demand for the coarser kinds of wheat for ship ment to Ireland has in no degree abated; on the con trary each day has brought increased orders, at en hanced limits. And large as the shipments from Liver pool, Leaden, &c., to the sister isle have lately been, the necessity for further supplies becomes more and more urgent. We ventured to give an opinion last week to the effect that a simultaneous rise in the value of wheat might be expected in all parts of the kingdom, and what has since occurred has proved that our im pression was well founded. Not only has wheat risen materially at the principal consuming markets, but even in the agricultural districts, though farmers have brought forward good supplies, the rise has amounted to fully 3s. per qr. The primary cause of this state of things is, unquestionably, the great scarcity of food in Ireland consequent on the potato failure. Admitting that the first accounts of this calamity, which described the loss as almost total, were exaggerated, and supposing that about half of the usual quantity of potatoes have been grown in the United King-Joni, what an immense amount of food must be required to make good even that defi ciency! In Ireland millions of the people subsist almost wholly on the potato; need we, then, be surprised at the position of that unhappy country, knowing as we do that more than one-half the ordinary food of a large class of its inhabitants has been entirely lost? Substi tutes, under these circumstances, must be obtained some how; and England will be looked to in this emergency. Nothing can afford a clearer proof of the urgent ne cessity of our Irish neighbours than the enormous rise which has taken place in the value of Indian corn. At first this article was received with great prejudice, but it soon took a higher place in the esteem of the Irish peasantry, and has lately been selling at Limerick and other towns at prices not obtainable for wheat. So long as Indian corn was procurable, wheat was comparatively neglected ; but the stocks of the first named article have been completely exhausted, and still the people are without food. The natural con sequence has been a greatly increased demand for low priced qualities of wheat ; and so large have the pur chases for Ireland in the English markets been of late, that a great clearance of the old foreign stocks in gra nary has already taken place. The rise in prices of Odessa, Danube, and similar descriptions of wheat, has within the period of a fortnight amounted to about Bs. per quarter at all those places where these sorts are to be met with. At Liverpool the influence of the Irish demand has been more felt than even in London; and notwithstand ing the great rise which had taken place there the pre ceding week, wheat was quoted 6d. to 9d. per 701 b., or 3s. 6d. to 4s. per qr. higher there on Tuesday than on that day se'nnight. Indian corn continued, however, to maintain the lead in the upward movement, and for parcels on the spot the extraordinary price of 70s. to 725. per qr. of 4801 b. were paid. On the same day bonded flour was in great request at that port for ship ment to France, and for good brands of Western Canal, 363. per brl. was obtained. Other articles were equally dear. Later in the week the demand was more or less checked by the extravagant pretensions of sellers; still a fair extent of business was done on Fri day, wheat bringing a further advance of 2d. to 3d. per 701 b., and Indian corn being quoted 2s. to 3s. per 4801 b. higher than on Tuesday. Froth Hull and Leeds the accounts of Tuesday state that some influence had at length been produced on the wheat trade at those places by the advices from London, Liverpool, and elsewhere, and that the millers had be come anxious purchasers at rates 3s. per qr. above those previously current. In the western and north-western markets the upward movement has been more decided. The Birmingham market, though plentifully supplied with home grown wheat, was cleared at rates from 3s, to ss. per qr. above those at which purchases might have been made on that day se'nnight. At Bristol a large amount of business was likewise done : the advance realised on English being 35., and that on free foreign 4s. per qr. The advices from Scotland give a very melancholly account of the distress prevailing in the islands and highlands ; and the value of food seems likely to rise there nearly as high as in Ireland. Besides the demand from the more destitute districts far all low-priced articles, a lively inquiry appears to have been ex perienced at Glasgow on Irish account, and rather extensive shipments were in progress of being made. Wheat was o n W e d nes d a y quo t e d 2s. to 3s. higher at that port, and all other kinds of grain were in request at enhanced terms. At Edinburgh prices have also risen materially. Letters, dated Wednesday, quoting an advance of is. to 2s. per quarter on wheat, Is to 2s. on barley, and Is. to Is. 6d. per qr. on oats ; though in consequence of a heavy fall of snow, the London accounts of Monday had not then reached the Scottish capital. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have been quite moderate this week, and by land carriage samples very little has been exhibited at Mark-lane since Monday. The parcels offered from Essex and Kent on Wednesday were speedily cleared off at an ad vance of Is. to 2s. per qr., while on Friday, with no in crease in the supplies from any quarter, factors suc ceeded in establishing a further enhancement of about Is. per quarter. Foreign free wheat has been in very lively request throughout the week ; the extravagant pretensions of holders have, however, in some measure checked business, or the sales would pro bably have been even more important. The bargains closed on Wednesday were at rates quite 23. per quarter above those at which sales were made in the beginning of the week, and this advance was paid without any ap parent reluctance in execution of orders from Ireland. When, however, a further rise of Is. to 2s. per quarter was demanded on Friday, buyers became somewhat less eager, notwithstanding which, considerable parcels again changed hands. Having but little wheat under lock at this part, and a lively French inquiry being calculated on, the rise in bonded has kept pace with that established on free ; and for moderately good Dautzic as much as 655. per quarter has been realised. The town millers have again put up the top price of flour, and the highest quotation had risen on Friday to 60s. per sack. All other desoriptions of flour have felt tie influence of this advance, and good households were tithe close held at 2s. to 3s. per sack higher than in the commencement of the week. For American flour the inquiry has also been active, and owing to purchases on French account, nearly as much money has been realised for the article in bond as duty paid. Of Indian corn we have none on the spot worth naming, and having had comparatively few floating car goes offered, the transactions have been of less import ance than of late, but that higher terms would readily hare been paid cannot be questioned, the demand having in no degree abated. THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE. By the steam-ship Acadia we have advices of recent dates from the United States. The New York letters reach to the 30th of November. 'The weather had then become winterly, and a speedy close of the inland navi gation was expected. Owing, however, to the very high rate of freight to Europe, business in flour and grain had become dull, the difficulty in procuring ship-room hav ing thrown serious obstacles in the way of business. Good brands of Genessee, which had at one time brought $6 25e. per barrel, had gradually receded to S 5 37ic. The supplies from the interior had been very liberal in November, and notwithstanding the large shipment made, the stock on the spot was then estimated at 500,000 barrels. From Camada we learn that winter had set in, and that m4O t of the vessels had left the St. Law rence. Prices of flour appear to have been better sup ported at Montreal than at New York, and the latter is certainly the cheaper market. Owing to the non-arrival of the Hamburgh mail of Tues day, our advices from the Baltic are not of such recent dates as we are usually enabled to furnish.. From Dantzic the latest accounts are of the Bth inst. ; the weather was then severe, the thermometer having been down to 18 degrees. The river navigation had, consequently, been put a stop to, and no further arrivals of grain were looked for down the Vistula till spring. The animated Eaglish accounts had meanwhile caused holders to raise their pretensions ; at 545. to 565. per qr. fine high mixed new inland had met a ready sale, and for 39Ibs. to 601bs. mixed Polish 51s. to 525. per qr., free on board, had been paid. Stocks in granary are re presented to be small there, and with a continued English demand prices would, it was calculated, advance during the winter months. Advises from Rostock, of the 10th instant, inform us that after several days' sharp frost a thaw had set in, by which the roads had been rendered bad, a circumstance which might, it was thought, prevent supplies coming forward. Only a oargo or two of wheat had been shipped from that port during a period of some weeks, so very unimportant had been the supplies. Good 611bs. to 621bs. Wheat was then held at 505., Barley of 511bs. to 521bs. weight at 285. to 203., and boiling Peas at 393. to 40s. per quarter free on board in spring. At Hamburgh the weather appears to have been very changeable up to the 11th instant, since when we are without advices. Short periods of frost and thaw had succeeded to each other; and though there was much drift ice in the Elbe, its navigation was still practicable. We are, however, disposed to attri bute the non-arrival of Tuesday's mail to increased severity of the weather, by which we think it very likely that the river had become blocked up. In Wheat the transactions at Ham burgh seem to have been of quite a local character, but the town buyers had paid equal to 545. to 551. per quarter for good 611bs. red marks of Wheat. Several contracts had been closed to ship Bar ley from the Danish islands to Ireland, at prices varying from 28s. 3d. to 295. 3d. pPr quarter free on board. From France the rep( its respecting the Wheat trade become more and more exciting ; and unless the wants of that cour.try have been greatly exaggerated, a con tinued demand for bread stuffs may be reckoned on. In some parts of the kingdom the scarcity of food seems to be almost as great as it is in Ireland.—Mark lane Express. _ - - SMUGGLING EXTRAORDINARY.—On Thursday night Syreen, a custom-house officer, apprehended a woman named E iza Smith, a passenger on board an Am e rican vessel, on suspicion of haring smuggled tobacco in her possession. Upon exa,mining her dress, 171bs. of to bacco were f , und concealed under it ; but the most re markable of the expedient 3 which have been resorted to for the purpose of deceiving the lynx-eyed deputies of the "stows, was that of giving to the contraband weed the semblance of a loaf. A quantity of cut tobacco had been pressed into a tin, over which a thin layer of dough was spread, which, being baked, had the appearance to the . eye of a veritable loaf. The quantity of tobacco which the woman had contrived to secrete in this and other modes, amounted to no leas than 701bs. She was re Mr. brought hefo .

THE - SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 22, 1846 must be left to imagination. Owen Swift, the referee, was saved all question as to the winner. DAY AND METCALF.—The 120 yards race, for 5/. aside, between Metcalf (the St. John's-wood Novice) and Day, was run yesterday, near the Wellington Inn, Highgate. It was nearly four o'clock b e f ore th e men started, which they did well and level. After twenty yards Day got the lead, kept it, and after a well run race, came in a winner by a yard. H. ORANGE AND T. Mim—The six-mile walking match between these xaen depending upon a double event, was lost by Dance, although ho gave Orange one minute start, and overtook him in three miles, beating his man by one minute and a half. He had, according to articles, to walk a second competitor the like distance, or forfeit the stake. This he failed in, giving up at the second mile. • BANK OF AUSTRALASIA. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the establishment in Austin Friars, and was largely attended. Oliver Ferrer, Esq., presided. Mr. MILLIKEN, the secretary, read the advertisement calling the meeting. The Caninstex;said:they were aware this meeting was called in consequence of a resolution passed, and for en abling the directors to communicate anything of im portance to the shareholders as to the progress of the bank. In this case the directors had nothing particular to communicate ; it would therefore be his duty to give a general outline of their progress since June. At Sydney the affairs on the whole were in a satisfactory state, and any loss there would be on the old transactions. As to Launceston the directors were still in a state of anxiety, and were sorry to say that one considerable failure had taken place which might involve the bank in a loss they did not anticipate. At Melbourne the bu,i ness had considerably improved, and if the other branches had progressed in the same way, he should have had to congratulate them on their prosperity. At Adelaide there had also been a great improvement. The branch at Hobart Town had done more business than in the year before, neither was there a fear of any increased loss in that quarter. He again repeated that the great source of anxiety for the directors was the unfortunate state of things in Launceston, but he hoped that, by the attention of the directors, and a little more forbearance on the part of the shareholders, affairs would right them selves in that quarter, as well as elsewhere. There was one fact of importance he would mention in respect to the Bank of Australia, which was, that the papers sent for had now arrived, and he hoped there was no obstacle to their proceeding rapidly with the appeal be fore the Privy Council, in which case he had no doubt of the judgment being favourable to the shareholders.— (Hear, hear.) Should this be the case, and they only got over the affair of Launceston, there would be the commencement of the prosperity of this company. Mr. NEvrsom said a report was going about that their loss just mentioned was about 60,0001.—(No, no.) The CHAIRMAN replied, that the debts of the firm were about 26,000/., the loss upon which might be 10,0001. Mr. NEwsost said he understood the Bank of Aus tralia had made an offer to compromise the claim of this establishment; if so, would it not be better than going to law?—(Hear, hear, and " No, no.") The CHAIRMAN observed that it would be very unwise to stop now they were on the very threshold of a favour able judgment.—(Hear, hear.) A SHAREHOLDER asked what guarantee they would obtain for any compromise with the Bank of Australia? He thought they should leave the matter to the discre tion of the directors. I THE 'TRIAL TRIPS WITH THE OVERLAND INDIAN MAIL. (From the Augsburgh Gazette.) The first moiety of the six trial journeys arranged by the British Government for the conveyan ce o f th e I n di an dispatches through Germany is now completed ; and it will not be considered inapposite to take a comprehen sive survey of the events of those journeys, and to glance at the further consequences that may result from them. The ordinary consideration of this snbject, as an interesting competition for the honour of the greatest celebrity, as an adventurous neck-or-nothing " steeple-chase," is equally absurd and incorrect. As regards England, the object is nothing less than the securing of a second route—one at least equal in point of celerity to that through France, in the event cf a political quarrel with the latter country ; as regards Germany, the restoration of the old, middle-aged Vene tian-Hanseatic commercial road—the construction of a new public road along the banks of the Rhine, over the Alps, to the Adriatic S ea an d t h e E ast, an d a l so t h e freedom from useless intermediate traders ; and as re gards Holland, a more direct and rapid connexion with its East Indian colonies ; and as regards Belgium and the western and southerly parts of Germany, in particular, a most important conveyance of goods, passengers, and letters, which is already increasing in importance. We can assure our readers, from the best sources, that the English Government and the East India Company are perfectly satisfied with the results of the trial trips hitherto undertaken with reference to Germany ; and their zeal for this line is far more increasing than diminishing. The Cracow affair, far from restoring the entente cor diale, has only served to show that a fissure has been rent between the two Cabinets by the Spanish marriages, which cannot be filled up again by all the opposite argu ments of the public organs on both sides. The English statesmen are determined to command a second continental postal line " at any price," and they will assuredly call it into existence, no matter whether via Trieste, Ancona, or Brindisi. Hitherto, all the facts have told in favour of Trieste, where the Austrian Lloyd has so powerfully united its efforts to those of Waghorn, and is, moreover, perfectly prepared to offer all the pledges of a regular service. Unfortunatdly, however, the unhappy idea seems to be cherished in Vienna of conducting the overland route through the capital, and the construction of the Bruck and Salzburg road seems to be rejected altogether (?) The establishment of the Trieste route may be wrecked in this opposition alone, but on no other obstacles. Switzerland and Naples receive the project with open arms, and the railroads just decreed by the Pope will help the undertaking amazingly. Austria would then have once more to regret that she had not embraced it at the right time, but opposed to the unalterable geo graphical features of the country a centralisation mania in this case utterly impracticable. We hope, however, that the energy and tact which have hitherto been manifested in the execution of the great state roads by the genial Baron Kiibeck will not abandon him on this occasion, and will point out to him right speedily the only way in which the carrying into effect of the beautiful idea of an Austro-Indian com mercial road is possible. Here we will lay before our readers a correct summary of the three trial trips hitherto attempted, together with the preliminary trials, from which it is clearly to be seen how the sea and land journeys of the French and the Waghorn couriers were effected:— TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD JOHN RUSSELL, M.P. LETTER NO. 111. My Lord,—Having satisfactorily disposed of Mr. Scrope's plan for the reclamation of waste lands in Ire land, by showing that its principle is fraught with the very evil under which that country at present lab.)urs, and, even supposing his plan were not operi to such in superable objection, that it rould be impossible to bring it into practical working, I now propose to lay before your Lordship and the public the plan which I suggest should be adopted, with the mode in which it might be safely, and, considering its importance, easily carried into execution, and which is, in fact, the very plan which I have successfully pursued here for the last ten years. I trust neither your Lordship nor anyperson will fancy that I hold out the reclamation of waste lands as the only panacea for Irish grievances. No! I only believe it to be one of the most effectual. Equal laws—a strin gent poor-law enforcing the claims of industrious labour to support from the land—an extension of the fisheries, and a well-arranged plan of voluntary emigration are all excellent, perhaps necessary remedies, and should assuredly receive the best attention of the Government. Before stating my plan, I would observe that another great advantage it bas over that of Mr. Scrope's is its comparative simplicity and cheapness. That gentle man's Bill proposed that there should be an entirely new board, with commissioners in chief, assistant-commis sioners, engineers, surveyors, clerks, collectors, re ceivers, and other necessary officers. But even this is not all. The commissioners were to have model farms, and appoint bailiffs and superintendents thereof, and to establish schools, and to plant and cultivate any of the lands, and to execute such roads and drainings, and erect such houses, cottages, buildings, and fences as shall be deemed proper and expedient for the improvement of such land. No person in the slightest degree acquainted with the public or private character of Mr. Scrope could for a moment imagine that he wished to perpetrate a great job, entailing upon the country enormous ex penses, and those who have not the honour of knowing him, and who, from reading his life, might be led to form a different conclusion, would feel relieved by the 17th clause, which limits the expense to a sum not exceeding two millions; and for this amount the Honourable Gen tleman seriously proposed not only to perform the above mentioned work, but also to purchase the fee-simple of the lands! Yet stern Cocker declares that 2,000,0001. of money divided among 3,000,000 of acres would give exactly 13s. 4d. per acre for these objects, a sum which would not enclose the land. Mr. J. WILSON was for leaving things in the hands of the directors, in whom he had every confidence— (Hear, hear)—or he was willing to break up the com pany.—(No, no.) - After some observations from Mr. BROWNRICG, Mr. NEwsom, and other gentlemen, Mr. WOOTTON moved a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, which was seconded, and passed without opposition, when the meeting adjourned. DEATH OF THE LANDGRAVE OF Hiss .—The Frankfort Journa4 under the date of Carlsruhe, Dec. 10, announces the death of the Landgrave of Hesse that evening. He was born in 1779. He is succeeded by his younger brother, Gustavus Adolphus Frederick, born in 1781. My plan would only require the cost of commissioners in -chief, who, after personal inspection, would have to report upon the several memorials which were presented. These reports would be made to the present Board of Works, who would require what further information or explanation they might consider necessary. When they were satisfied, the memorial and reports would go before the Chief Secretary for his final decision. The com missioners would act perfectly independent of each other, and, as the comparative success or failure of each recla mation would iu a great degree depend upon the cor rectness of their reports, Government would only ap point the must competent persons, whose several reports annually laid before Parliament would secure an honour able rivalry between them. The first step would be to lay down certain general rules, upon compliance with which Government assist ance would be given. The second, to divide the waste land in Ireland capable of being profitably reclaimed into two classes. Ist. Those belonging to proprietors who are willing to take the reclamation upon themselves if assisted by Government. CAUTION TO COUNTRY INNKEEPERS.—lnnkeepers in the country will do well to be on their guard against the proceedings of a gang of fellows, members of the London swell mob, who are supposed to be travelling about the country committing plunder in all directions. Various cases have come to the knowledge of the police, and on Friday they succeeded in committing another robbery of the same character at Esher, and to a very considerable amount. Between four and five o'clock in the evening of that day four well-dressed men drove up with a horse and cart to the Three Mariners public house in that village, kept by Mr. Shorter, and called for some gin and water at the bar, and after a short time two of the fellows said they had some busin iss to trans act in the neighbourhood, and wished the others to await their return, and then left the house. The two who remained contrived to divert the attention of the land lady while the other two were no doubt engaged in committing th e ro bb ery , an d, h av i ng effected their object, they rejoined their companions, and all four got into the cart and drove off towards town. The landlady, upon going up stairs a few minutes afterwards, disco vered that the bedroom had been forced open, and the drawers ransacked, and 451. in gold and silver and a quantity of jewellery and plate had been stolen. A mounted messenger was dispatched in pursuit of the cart, and he traced it to Kingston, when, finding there was no chance of his overtaking the men from the dis tance they had got in advance, he returned to Esher, and the fellows con:equently escaped with their booty. COAL WANTED AT NEWCASTLE.—One of the many difficulties which have beset us since the storm set in is a want of coal for the consumption of the town. The Manors depot, at the railway terminus, was beseiged on Monday with claimants for this necessary article ; but such was the state of the line from whence the supply should come, that no waggon could travel, and it was not until four o'clock, P.M., that any could be procured, and then only a small quantity arrived. It is understood, however, that the colleries have plenty on hand.— Local Paper. SURVEYING NO JOKE.—PRESENTATION OF PISTOLS. —A somewhat ludicrous occurrence took place the other day at the fashionable town of Leamington ' where, as is usual in other places which h ave so rapidly progressed in public estimation, the inhabitants look with a jealous eye on any projected innovation at all calculated to destroy existing advantages. It so bap9ened, however, that a short time since a juvenile surveyor, employed on the I?ugby and Leamington line, armed to the teeth with the insignia of office—flags, chains, bill-hooks, &e.—had the temerity, with two or three subordinate officers, to march through the nursery gardens of Mr. Cullis, an old and respected tradesman of the place ; of course the damage done was considerable, and the captain of the cross•staff and his gallant band having, unguardedly, left their weapons on the enemy's plan tations, immediate possession of them was taken by Mr. Cullis. Upon returning to the field of action the fact was discovered by the aggressors, and an order to "stand and deliver" was formally made to Mr. C., who, in his turn, insisted upon " an interview" with the commander of the men before he would consent to a surrender, and ere long, having retired into his castle just by, he was bearded by one of the group, who, with a regular " North-Western " puff; demanded restoration of the property. After a war of words, Mr. Cullis invited his assailant into his strong-hold, and selecting from kis armoury a brace of pistols, loaded ready for priming, pliiced them before his antagonist, and requested him to prime, and take his choice," so that th e i r diff erences might be speedily adjusted. Such treatment as this had not been anticipated, and it is scarcely necessary to say the adventurers precipitately retreated, leaving behind them the spoils, which were not given up until an ami cable treaty was " signed, sealed, and delivered," at the head-quarters of the company, EXTENSIVE FIRE IN THE STRAND.—This morning about one o'clock au extensive fire broke out in the shop of Crow and Co., woollen-drapers, corner of Bedford•t treet, Strand. For half an hour the firemen used their utmost exertions, and finally succeeded in arresting the progress of the flames by two o'clock, but the interior of the house and a great deal of stock were destroyed. THE FORTIFICATIONS AT SHEERNESS.—DECEM BER 21. —Since we last reported progress these works have continued to advance rapidly. Indeed, from the nature of the works, being for the most part composed of turf and clay, the winter months are quite favourable for their construction, at least so long as such intense frosts as we experienced during the last week, and which al meat entirely put a atop to further progress for the time, keep away. The large and formidable battery opposite the dockyard gate, facing seaward, is now com plete, with the exception of the curtain or parapet wall, which will shortly be proceeded with, after which beds for the platforms of from 40 to 50 guns will be laid down. The musketry walls connecting the battery on the one hand to the old works at Garrison-point, and the other to the land defences, are also 'complete, and present an excellent specimen of substantial workman ship. These land defences, which extend continuously from the Thames to the Medway, interrupted only by the drawbridge to Mile-town, are in course of being re paired and heightened by the soil procured in the deepening of the moat which protects them. The ex cavations for the meat which surrounds the new bat tery, and which have been continued northward as far the second angle of the old fortifications, and southward into the moat surrounding the land defences, are very nearly completed, and workmen are now engaged in some parts banking it up with rubble stone. The greatest number of men are, however, engaged in the construc tion of the ravelin on the Mile-town side of the draw bridge, round which the moat is to be conducted, thus rendering a second drawbridge necessary. The excava tions for this extension of the moat intersect an old convict burying -ground, in which, it is stated, repose the remains of the notorious Parker, the mutineer. The ravelin is calculated to be able to contain 3,000 men. The repairs and alterations of the old works are corn • pleted, the beds for the traversing platforms of the guns are all laid down, and nothing now remains to hinder the immediate mounting of the guns. The magazines are in course of being filled with powder, large quanti ties having been ordered to be kept in store. New bar racks, capable of containing 1,000 men, are to be erected in the neighbourhood of the present. The plans and specifications are out, and we mistake if by this time the contract is not taken, a party of Sappers and Miners having been for some time employed over on the Isle of Grain shore boring and sounding for a foundation for three Martell° towers intended to be erected there. HAZARD OF WEARING A GOLD RING.—A young man last week appeared before the magistrates of Hali fax, under an affiliation summons, and while admitting his liability pleaded poverty; but unfortunately for him, he happened to raise his hand to smooth down his hair from before his eyes, when one of the magistrates espied, on the little finger of the defendant, a gold ring, and an order for 2s. a week was made soon after, appa rently in consequence of the presence of the ring.— Manchester paper. REMARKABLE ARRIVAL.—A vessel arrived in the West India Docks from Calcutta, had on board, in ad dition to an extensive cargo of East India produce, 71 eases of champagne, improves 53cas :h s e of claret, and 25 cases of red wine. It is well known to be a constant practice to ship wines for the round, as it is termed, that is, for a vo wage to the East Indies and back, which vastlysherry, 15 cases of raises its value full 300 per cent., • but this is generally confined to sherries in casks, andthe produce of . st cognisant that the Cape of Good Hope, and we are ne, - quality, and frequently cased wines, especially of the valuable dese: iptio men tioned, have bee n hi t h erto subjected to a sioli l 4‘ ' precesS for the same pu r p ose. . r 2d. Those which belong to proprietors who aro un willing, or too incapacitated persons, who are incapable of undertaking the work, and these lands would have to be purchased by Government, under authority of an Act of Parliament, and resold or let to persons willing to embark in the reclamation. The most important engagements into which the proprietor woulii have to enter, as a condition of receiv ing Government assistance, would be— Ist. That the land should be mortgaged to Govern ment for repayment of the advances with fair interest ; such repayments to be made at stated periods 2d. That the land should be divided into farms of such size, and let upon such terms, as would induce men of intelligence and capital to take leases, which ought not to be for a shorter term than 30 years. Supposing the necessary Act of Parliament obtained, there would be two classes of memorials sent in--one from persons in the neighbourhood of waste lands, the owners of which were unwilling, or incapable, of enter ing into the undertaking; and these would simply state the fact, and pray that the land might be purchasctd for the purpose of reselling or letting—the other from pro prietors desirous of entering into the undertaking upon their own account ; and such memorial would set forth -Ist. The number of acres, and the value per acre, in its present state. 2d. The probable value per acre when reclaimed. 3d. The cost of reclamation per acre during the first course. 4th. The probable value of the crops per acre during ,he same period. sth. The amount of assistance required. Immediately upon receiving such memorial, Govern ment would send a commissioner to report thereon, and if such report were satisfactory on all points, assistance would be given, and the proprietor might immediately begin. My next and concluding letter will enter into a detail of the advantages which the country will receive from the adoption of this plan. I have the honour to remain, Your Lordship's most obedient servant, R. W. DEATH OF SIR GEORGE H. BARLOW, G.C.B.— We have to record the demise of Sir Geore Hilaro Bar low, Bart., who expired, after a lengthened illness, at his seat, near Fareham, Hants, on Friday last, at the advanced age of 82 years. He was fourth son of Mr. William Barlow, of Bath, arid Miss Butcher, daughter of Mr. Robert Butcher, of Walthamstow. He was, at an early age, in Vae civil service of the East India Com pany, and in October, 1805, on the death of the Mar quis of Cornwallis, succeeded as Governor General of India. After ret:7ining that appointment till May, 1807, he was then selected to fill the office of Governor of the Fort St. George, at Madras. In 1803, previ(.us to be coming Governor-General of India, he was created a Baronet, and eventually, for his public services, had the honour of the Civil Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. He married, in April, 1789, Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Burton Smith, county Wexford, by whom he had a family of fourteen children, but he was divorced from that lady in 1816. The deceased Baronet is succeeded by his third son, Robert, now Sir Robert Barlow, Bart.

Mills, deputy coroner for Middlesex, held an inquest at the Grapes-tavern, Ful ham-road, New Brompton, on the body of Anne Boace, aged 56 years, whose death it was alleged had been cansed by the want of the common necessaries of life. It appeared from the evidence brought forward, that deceased was the widow of a soldier in the Life Guards, who died about two years ago, and that she usually ob tained her living by washing and charing. She had latterly had Is. 6d. per week from the parish of St. George's in the East. On Saturday, the sth instant, she rented the back kitchen of the house, No. 3, Yeoman's-row, Fulham-road, for which she agreed to pay Is. 3d. per week, and it was in this apartment she was found on Tuesday last, by her landlord, stretched upon two boards placed across a couple of chairs, without anything under her or over her, and in a state of com plete nudity. She appeared to be very cold and faint, and nearly insensible. There was a bit of fire in the grate, but not bigger than could be held in the hollow of his band, and there was neither food nor a farthing of money in the room. As soon as her wretched condition was discovered, she was helped to a cup of tea and some bread and butter, but she gradually sunk, and was found lying dead on the floor on Wednesday morning, at 5 o'clock, having, it is. supposed fallen off the boards. The deceased was never seen to have food all the time she was in the lodging ; but she was a very close woman, and was not in tive habit of speaking of her circum stances. She had often been asked to go into the work house, but she refused, saying, she would rather die in the streets. Mr. Madden, the relieving officer of the parish of Kensi Jgton, deposed that deceased had never asked for more than the Is. 6d. she received. On a post mortem examination of her body there was not the slightest particl.i of food found in her stomach. The surgeon (Mr. Moulls, 45, Brompton-row) could not ac count for deat)i from the appearance of the body ; but from the histr,r,y- of the case, which he had heard, he considered that death had been caused by exposure to cold during the intense frost of Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday last. The jury returned a verdict that the de ceased died from exposure to the intense cold and the want of the common necessaries of life. Du ALLEGED REMOVAL OF THE WELLINGTON STATUE To THE PARADE, ST. JAMES'S PARlL—What ever mey be the ultimate destination of this statue, its final resting place will seemingly not be here, the recent excavations said to be for tbat purpose on the Parade, fronting the Horse Guards, being yesterday filled up and bastioned.

The first of the dramatic versions of Dicken's new Christmas story, The Battle of Life—and it will go hard if it prove not also the best—was produced here last evening, when the Keeleys opened for the season, with the most complete success. We have already given a minute analysis of the plot in our notice of Mr. Dickens's work; and Mr. Albert Smith, the adapter, has had the good taste and the good sense to keep as closely to the original as possible. The successive scenes follow each other in the same order as in the book, and all the best of the dialogue is preserved, while the quaint descrip tions of Dickens—such for instance, as his description of Clemency—her limbs, her elbows, and her dress are in terwoven into the dialogue of the piece in the most artisti cal manner possible. Albert Smith is the prince of adapters, for he has so admirably " built" this dramatic adaptation of the Battle of Life, that to one ignorant of the existence of Dickens's Book, it might well seem an original and an admirably constructed drama. Tho following is the cast:—Doctor Jeddler, Mr. Frank Matthews; Alfred Heathfield, Mr. Leigh Murray (his first appearance at this theatre); Michael Warden, Mr. F. Vining; Mr. Snitchley, Mr. Meadows; Mr. Craggs, Mr. Turner; Benjamin Britain, Mr. Keeley; Grace Jeddler, Miss Ellen Daly; Marion Jeddler, Miss May (her first appearance at this theatre); Mrs. Snitchey, Mrs. Woollidge ; Mrs. Craggs, Miss Grove; Aunt Martha, Miss Foster ; Clemency Newcome, Mrs. Keeley. The Dr. Jeddler of Mr. Frank Matthews is scarcely the Dr. Jeddler of the author. In drawing the character of Dr. Jeddler, Dickens has exhibited a greater insight into the depths of character, as modified by civilisation, than in, perhaps, any character that he has hitherto drawn. His Pickwick, his Weller, his Squeers, his Ralph Nicklehy, his Fagin, his Quilp, his Chester, and his Pecksniff have been representatives of genera, of classes—his Jeddler is an individual; or if a representative, the representative of a small species, but of a species, the idiosyncracies of which, any one at all acquainted with the social life of remote, rural districts will at once understand. He is a hale and hearty. and healthy man ; and, like all hale and hearty and healthy men, he has a warm and sound heart—the Mens sana in corpore sano, and wherever there is the corpus sanum, there be sure doth the mens sana take up its habitation. But Dr. Jeddler, relegated to a remote country village, has been compelled to associate either with children, such as Grace, Marion, and Alfred, or with men whe are intel lectually his inferiors—to wit Snitchy and Craggy. Therefore hath he sought refuge from ennui in the study of books, and, above all, in books of philosophy. In these books he has met with the theory— that the world is a farce. Is it surprising that he adopts the theory? The world, as far as it relates to success in life, has gone well with him. He has had no sorrows— no trials. He has seen none about him suffering sorrows and trials, save, and except, such sham sorrows and sham trials as a mens sana zn corpore sano can shake off and laugh at. What wonder then that he becomes a Democritus—a Voltaire, but when his daughter leaves him, when real trials and real sorrows come upon him, then is Dr. Jeddler an altered man ; and this alte ration ought to be marked by the actor, and herein, Mr. F. Mathews failed. In the earlier scenes he should have made of Dr. Jeddler a Voltaire, with a spice of bonhom mie, his bonhommie breaking through the plating of false philosophy ever and anon, as though in spite of himself. In the last scene all this should have been completely reversed, and the renunciation of the false philosophy should have been made all the more heartily, and the mere pathetically, and the more intensely, because it was the conquest of the heart over the head, and because, albeit, the head had ruled for years, yet it had not ruled with undisputed sway, the heart having ever and anon protested most vehe. mently against its rule. Instead of this Mr. F. Matthews made the Doctor the regular conventional stage old man. Ile uttered his sneers at the world, because the words were set down for him ; but there was no sneer in the manner or in the tone—on the contrary, the manner and the tone belied the words—and if a person ignorant of the language had chanced to have seen him, he would have put him down as a jolly, comfortable, old gentle• man, who considered the world a very excellent world— far too excellent to be made the subject of a jest. The other characters were admirably supported Had Dickens drawn the characters of Britain and Clemency for Mr. and Mrs. Feely, he could not have more admirably fitted them. Meadows's Snitchy wes quite equal to his Gruff and Tackleton ; and Miss Ellen Daly and Miss May, as Grace and Marion, were all that Dickens could have desired. The piece was admirably put on the stage, and, at the conclusion, all the principal artists, including Mr. Albert Smith, the adapter, were called for, and made their appearance before the curtain. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. The reports from " the corner" during the Christmas holidays, have usually shown a very slack market. Yes terday was an exception ; the number of subscribers present, and the amount of business transacted having considerably exceeded the average. The four leading Derby favourites were decidedly in force, Van Tromp having been backed at 15 to 2 and 8 to 1 for three or four hundred pounds, Epiro:e at 14 and 15 to 1, Planet at 18 and 20 to 1, and Glentilt at 25 to I each for three or four hundred pounds at the least.

A SIDE, NEAR BATII—This event, SO long deferred, and anxiously expected, came off yesterday over the Lansdowne Racecourse. The muster was numerous, and the betting ranged from 5 to 4 on the North Star (Maxfield) to evens. The start was prettily effected, Max&ld making the running at an extraordi nary pace. For the first quarter of a mile he led beau tifully, having an advantage of from two to three yards. The pace, however, seemed to tell on him, and Davis, who ran self-contained, shortly after collared and passed him. At the half mile the Welsh Chicken had reversed his position, and led by about the same distance as his competitor had previously attained. He gradu ally increased the interval, and on entering the straight running beyond the houses, and coming into the straight rimming towards the Grand Stand, held a pretty and indisputable advantage of twenty yards. Maxfield was now clearly outpaced, and at the winning post Davis was first by thirty yards. The cheers of the Cambrian party at the triumph of their countryman PRELIMINARY TRIALS. .......

THE CHOLERA. _----- TREBIZONDE, Nov. 20.—We have received letters from Teheran of the 28th of October, from Tabreez of the 4th of November. Nothing of importance had taken place in Persia, except the continued prevalence of the cholera, which had extended to the other provinces, where it had not appeared last spring or summer. Moha med Schah's health had much improved ; during the whole time of the prevalence of the cholera he had re sided in the mountains. This monarch, so weak in mind and body, is less afflicted with the gout than he was. He is occasionally to be seen riding dressed in tatters, in the environs of Teheran, attended by a numerous guard ol cavalry. The heir to the throne, whom the cholera has just carried off, was, like his father, of a frail constitution and weak intellects. Persia has to felicitate herself at the ' death of this young prince, who would have been still less capable of governing than his father. He had become the humblest servant of Russia—the mere mention of the name of the " Gar-blanc" made him tremble. When in 1e37 the Emperor Nicholas visited his provinces on the other side of the Caucasus, the Schah sent his eldest son to Erivan to compliment him. The diminutive size of the Persian Prince was a remarkable contrast to the colossal figure of the Russian Emperor. Eye-witnesses of this interview, have told me that it was with difficulty that the Emperor could refrain from laughing when ho saw before him a weak child, dressed in a grotesque manner with an immense pointed cap in the shape of a sugar-loaf on his head, and bowing with timidity w h en he approached the Emp e r or . The Czar, however, con tained himself, took the young Prince on his lap, ca ressed him, and put a ring of great value on his finger. It is said that the heir to the throne has never forgotten the impression produced on him by this interview. The cholera was still at Tabreez at the departure of the last Tartar courier, but it had not committed such great ravages there as at Teheran and Ispahan last summer. Tabreez stands on a height, and it is ex pected that the severe cold, which set in in October, will soon put a stop to the disease. The European consuls had left the town and retired to Herbi, at the foot of Mount Sahant. Behmen Mirza, Governor of Tabreez, and brother of the Schah, had retired to Halm Buschan. It appears that the cholera had ceased to commit its ravages at Ispahan, but that it still raged at Schiras and Kirman. This plague has not advanced in the direction of the Caucasus, Tiflis, and Erivan, are still free from it, and the rigours of the season will prevent it passing the Caucasus. Bnt Europe is threat ened with this terrible plague in another direction. After having carried off numbers of the inhabitants of Bussora and Bagdad, it has got to Diarbekir. There is a constant commercial intercourse between this town and Aleppo, and it is much to be feared that it may spread into Syria. PROBABLE PRICE OF SUGAR. We have already more than once directed attention co this interesting subject ; and, so far as experience has as yet gone, our prognostications have been found to be pretty nearly correct. During the ensuing sea son, it is not likely that sugar will fall lower than an average —say of 30s. per cwt. in bond ; and had the past fruit season in the mother country been more favour able, it is not improbable that the price might have ruled even a shilling higher. Lower, during the period of the 7s. differential duty, it is certainly not likely to go, as that would be to suppose that the present price in the continental markets would fall, which under the circumstances is almost impossible. Thus, calculat ing the prices on the continent for brown at 225., and yellow 255., they will not be sold in England under 435. and 465., and our planters obviously need not sell similar qualities under these rates, which leaves them 295. and 325., liable, of course, to the various expenses of transit. The following, with which we have been recently favoured, puts the matter in a very clear light; and may be relied 00, as the opinion of a party capable from his position of arriving at a just conclusion:—" Taking 50s. 6d. as the average price of sugar in the British market since the reduction of the duties on British plantation sugar to 145., it follows from reference to actual sales, that 295. Id. p p r e o r d e n w oe t r . hoans the e en avtehreage.price Of fattehlL price 9s. has the been the result of protection, which take away, and (other things remaining the same) 19s. 10d. will be the future price of sugar; that is, the grower will receive nearly 15.22d5, say two-thirds of the present price only. Hence, to preserve the present ratio of profit (or less) the cost of production must be reduced 33 per cent. or one-third. Now, in the year 1848, when the crop which we are now about to plant will come to market, there will be after July 5 a protection of 4s. 6d. which will go to augment the price of slave-grown sugar just admitted to competition with ours.

If from any cause foreign sugar advances beyond the estimated price, the price of British plantation will also be aug mented in like sum; and so, on the other hand, if the price of foreign sugar recede to what it was in 1845, and previously, the price of British plantation will be lower than 18s. 6d., or less than two-thirds of the pre sent price, will be realised to the grower."—Jamaica Times.

LUTON, Saturday Night.—The inhabitants of this place and neighbourhood have been very much excited during the past month, owing to the death, under very mysterious circumstances, of a young lady, named Allen, niece of Mr. Edward Woakes, a surgeon, practising here, under whose roof the deceased had lived for twelve months previous to her death. The deceased was found dead in her bed on the morn ing of the 23d of November last, under circumstances which could not fail to call for inquiry, and, the facts having been reported to Ezra Eagles, Esq., her Majesty's coro ner for Bedfordshire, that gentleman issued his warrant for holding an inquest on the remains. A jury accord ingly met on the 24th ultimo, at the George Inn, in this place, and, after a long and patient investigation, during which it was elicited from the medical men examined that the death of the deceased had been occasioned by prussic acid, in the absence of any positive testimony as to how or by whom the poison was administered, they teturned an open verdict. The case, however, has continued to excite a great deal of interest ever since • and very st rong o pi n i ons having been expre sse d en the subject, Mr. Woakes, the ut:ele of the deceased, addressed a communication to the churchwardens of Luton, requesting that they would send a requisition to the coroner to re-open the investi gation. Mr. Woakes's application was backed by the signatures of 22 of the most influential inhabita n t s o f th parish. On its receipt the churchwardens at once acceded to the request, and enclosed the docuinent to the coroner. Upon receipt of it, Mr. Eag es at once directed the exhumation of the body, and gave directions to the proper officer to impannel a fresh jury, it being consi dered advisable by the coroner to avoid, as far as pos • sible all reference to the former inquiry. This second investigation took place on Saturday. Frederick Hawkins, M.D., of Ritchie, proved having, on the previous day, made an examination of parts of deceased's body with a view to test whether she was pregnant. The examination was made in the presence of Mr. Benson and Mr. Neale. Witness found no indi cations of pregnancy. Mr. Edward Baildon, superirtendent of the Luton di vision of the Bedfordshire police, proved having exa mined deceased's bed room on the morning of her death. He found nothing bearing the marks of having contained poison. A letter, the seal of which was broken, was lying under deceased's pillow. Mr. Woakes took it and said it was of no consequence. He said it came from a young lady named Cant. Witness asked Mr. Woakes what prussic acid he had in his possession ? He replied, that he did not use it. He afterwards said, all he had was contained in a small bottle, and was so weak that it would not cause death. He said he had purchased it to poison a dog. The witness here produced a letter from Messrs. Evans, Lisder, and Evans, wholesale druggists. The obj ect of its production was understood to be to show that Mr. Woakes had purchased of that firm a quantity of prussic acid. [The letter was objected to, and not put in.] Witness observed that the window of deceased's room was fastened on the morning of her death. Mr. Woakes did not speak to witness on the subject of deceased's state of mind in November last, but he had done so two days since. George Woakes, nephew and apprentice to Mr. Woakes, was next called.—This witness was examined at great length. The chief points in his evidence were his having missed the bottle of prussic acid from its usual place on the morning of the 23d ult. The bottle was afterwards found by witness, but not in the presence of his uncle. The witness further stated, that on the Sunday before deceased's death he- had missed a lauda num bottle from its usual place, but found it directly afterwards. None of the drug appeared to be gone. Witness had fetched prussic acid for his uncle from a chemist's in the town. Fanny Plummer, a friend of the deceased, was next called.—She proved that after a " Dorcas meeting" in August last (the deceased and all her connexions appeal to have been Methodists) deceased showed witness a small bottle, which she stated contained prussic acid. Deceased at that time expressed a wish to die ; and sub sequently witness received from her a letter, in which she threatened to destroy herself. Witness had not told any one of this circumstance, and now very much re gretted not having done so. The jury consulted for about half an hour, and at the expiration of that time recorded a verdict exactly similar to that returned by the former jury, viz.—That the de ceased died from the effects of prussic acid, but how or by whom administered there was no evidence to show. The inquiry lasted from ten o'clock in the morning until eight at night. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, DECEMBER 21.

HINTS FOR PIANISTS. - Have your pianoforte tuned at least four times a year, by an experienced tuner ; if you allow it to go too long without tuning, it usually becomes flat, and troubles a tuner to get it to stay at concert pitch, especially in the country. Never place the instrument against an outside wall, or in a cold or damp roam, particularly in a country house : there is no greater enemy to a pianoforte than damp. Close the instrument immediately after you practice ; by leaving it open dust fixes on the sound board, and corrodes the movements, and if in a damp room th e strings soon rust. Should the pianoforte stand near or opposite to a window, guard, if possible, against its being opened, especially on a wet or damp day ; and when the sun is on the window draw the blind down. Avoid putting metallic or other articles on or in the pianoforte, such things frequently cause unpleasant vibrations and sometimes injure the instrument. The more equal the temperature of the room, and the less the soft pedal is used, the better the piano will stand in tune.—Musical World. Cumous CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Monday morning last, about eight o'clock, Mr. Robert Cornthwaite, of the Bolton railway station, discovered a sparrow frozen fast to the rails, about one hundred yards from the station. He got up to the bird, and was examining how it was held fast, when its frequent flutterings extricated it, and it escaped, leaving clear marks of its feet on the rails.— Preston Chronicle. Mr. Mosquera, Minister of New Granada, transacted business yesterday, at the Foreign-office. WORKS by ROBERT J.
