Castor oil is now ,'"versally admitted to be the best application for the growth, pre ;,"vation, and beautifying of the hair ; for, by its gentle stimulating H . 4 tUre, it induces the capilary vessels to perform their functions, dormant state of which deprives the hair of its due nourishment i;;"tlice the reason why it proves so excellent a remedy for the fall- Off Llcheck of the its hairr, prev mtonntiag its turning grey, removing the scu r f, ing.

" The Lord - Lieutenant Las learned, with the deepest ccncern,'that occurrences have taken place in the barony of Tulla, and part of the adj- , cent districts, which have obstructed the operation of those means of employment for the,labouring poor in their present distress which the Legislature intended to afkrd. Large presentments have been made for p lie works in that barony, a great proportion of w hi c h ' ding 20,000 L) has already re ceived the app rova l or . roper authorities. " His Excell ency l ooked with confidence to the corn * mencement and progress of those works, as affording to the industrious and well-disposed the means of imme diate employment, and a prospect of continued support during the approaching winter. Competent officers were provided and employed in the necessary arrangements for setting the works in operation, some of which have already commenced. " His Excellency has, however, learned that the pre parations made have for the present been frustrated by . , a system of insubordination and outrage, which en dangers the lives of the officers and overseers, and deters the poor and peaceable inhabitants from labouring on the works. point Ti4 ot,tr i ftVe L pe k t u ple the seriousesonmseoqstuenecaersnetosttlyhemt? selves from such a course of conduct. The obstruction to officers in the discharge of their duties creates in the first instance confusion and alarm; it has the ulterior effect, already apparent, of necessarily suspending all further progress in the works; and, combined with the outrages committed on private persons and property, must preclude any attempt for the continued employment of the destitute poor. The works in the district have in consequence been suspended. " Ample arrangements have been made, and all the powers placed at the disposal of the executive will be exerted for preserving the lives and properties of the peaceable inhabitants, repressing outrage, and bringing to justice the disturbers of the public peace, and the p?rpetrators of crime. But his Excellency would hope that the good sense of the people will resume its influ ence—that they will see the folly and the crime they are guilty of in thus wantonly interfering with the means provided for the support of the destitute in this time of distress, and that be will have the satisfaction of receiving full assurance of their return to a better course of conduct —of their cordial acquiescence in the arrangements made for their employment, and of their determination to refrain from further obstruction or injury to persons engaged in laying out or superintending the public works. " His Excellency will then gladly direct the immediate resumption of those works, in the conviction that they will prove the means of preserving the people from that destitution and ruin which a perseverance in their past line of conduct must, he fears, inevitably produce. " Dublin Castle, Nov. 2, 1846. " By his Excellency's command, • " T. N. REDINGTON." The Clare Journal, received this day, gives the follow ing account of further outrages in that county:-- " Emus, Nov. 2.—Notices are now posted round the places where the horses of those who brought corn to market had been shot, cautioning every person against valuing the horses, which they think necessary, to enable the owners to get presentment off the county. The parties here are shortsighted in this view, as the grand jury, as well as the ratepayers, will no doubt meet this attempt at intimidation by taking the owners' valuation. " We understand that the mills of Mr. Wallnutt, at Scariff, were broken into on Friday night, and a quan tity of provisions carried away, and some more thrown into the streets and destroyed. " A party of men entered the house of the Rev. Mr. Brady, and desired that he should forgive a year's rent to his tenants, and sell his corn at a reduced price. " The house of Mr. Redden was entered, we have I heard, in search of arms. " A horse was shot lately belonging to Mr. Frost, near Rossmanaher, because previously being at Limerick with corn. Mr. Frost first offered his corn at Si#ile• bridge for Is. 6d. per stone, but beini. unable to sell it there had it sent to Limerick. " The gentlemen of the Newmarket distsict,assenAled at the Sessions-house on Friday, and havt adopted such measures that they will dispose of wheat in the town at Is. 6d. per stone, and of barley Is. They have alio, we understand, sent for a mill, and will grind corn for the poor at Id, per stone, being half-price."

Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me: " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3 Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor • tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than it ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the heal; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few apppliestions. If used on infsnts' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.

DEATH OF LA DY M AlM —N ove mber 2, at her house in Merrion- squ are , a f ter a severe an d protracted illness, which she bore with singular p a tience and resignation, Anne, wife of Si r Henry Marsh, Bart. GALWAY, Nov. 2..—There is a national school at Monivae, in this county, which, notwithstanding t h e opposition of th e Roman Catholic clergy, has flourished for some years under the liberal patronage of the pro prietor of th e v ill age, and the care o f a very efficient and pains -taking te ac h er. The num b ers of children in at tendance vary, a ccor di ng to t h e se ason, from 120 to 150; but during th e l ast month, the sc h o ol room has been crowded beyond all former experience, insomuch that it has been found necessary to close the doors against several new claimants for admission. So unusual a circumstance is ascribed by the school master to the distress of the parents, who being unable to supply a breakfast to their children, are anxious to remove them out of their sight for some hours of the day into a place of warmth and rest. He states that there is a remarkable chane,e in the ability and inclination of his pupils in general to apply themselves to the business of the school. They have become dull and listless; and many of them, when dismissed in the afternoon to crawl to their homes, actually " faint by the way side." A more affecting pro o f o f the lamentable condition of our rural population could scarcely be produced. AV AL INTELLIGENCE. - .••• - • PORTSMOUT H : WEDNESDAY. --The Res istance troop ship, Captain Patey, arrived at Spithead this morning, from the Cape of Good Hope. Her dates are, Simon's Bay, Sept. 5, St. Helena, Sept. 18, and Ascension, Sept. 28. Lieutenant John Stevens and Colin Douglas, and Mr. Taylor, master, all of the Childers, 16, Commander Pitman, came home invalided. A few other invalids from the squadron, and a mail, is all that the Resistance has brought ; no troops. Having left only the day after the Sappho, the Resistance has brought no later news from the frontier. • The Apollo troop-ship, Commander Radcliffe, whose narrow escape from total wreck we reported on the ar rival of the Sappho, was refitting as expeditiously as possible, and would sail, if possible, on the 6th of Sept., for Algoa Boy, with the 73d Regiment, to reinforce the Governor on the frontier. She left St. Helena on the same day she arrived. Just before getting under way, however, the Waterwitch, 12, Commander T. Francis Birch, arrived from a cruise, bringing in for adjudication a fi n e prize, full of-slaves.. The re were no other men-of war at St. Helena when the Resistance left.

All the guns (sixteen 68's) are also to be mounted on the lower tier of Blockhouse Fort as soon as possible; and all the guns at present in this garrison are to be mounted as soon as the carriages can ba got ready, FATAL ACCIDENT. —On Wednesday Mr. Carttar held an inquest at the Coach and Horses, Blackheath-Hill, on the body of Mr. John Scrivener, who met his death under the following circumstances :—Edward Cobley, son-in-law of the deceased, and a flooreloth printer, in the employ of Messrs. Cobbett and Co., Deptford-bridge, deposed that himself and others were engaged in raising a piece of floor cloth, by means of tackle, when the rope slipped, and the roller fell against another roller weigh iupwards of 4 c wt., which forced it aga i ns t d ec eased, who was knocked down, and the entire weight came upon him. Deceased was conveyed home, where he died on Monday night, from internal injuries. It appea - ;ng that the occurrence was purely accidental, a verdict to chat effect was retUrneCL _ SINGUL I.R SUCCESSION of ACCI DENTS on the NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. On Saturday last a series of accidents; causing deten sions of various trains, and, in one instance at least, attended with most serious consequences, both in per sonal iujuries and in the destruction of carriages, &c., occurred on this line, between the Stafford station and the station at Chelford; and from the cause being in . each instance a similar one, they seem to point to the imperative necessity for prompt measures being taken to prevent a recurrence of such disasters in future. The train which left London at 830 A.M. on Saturday, quitted Birmingham at one o'clock, on its route to Manchester ; and a few miles north of Stafford found the rails blocked up in consequence of a luggage train having run into a ballast train. Fortunately the fog, which had been very dense, had cleared away shortly before, otherwise the down train would have run into the stationary luggage train. The guard of the down train was sent back to prevent a collision between that train and -the down mail train, which leaves Birming ham at 1 45 r.m., and which, in fact, did arrive in less than a quart.r of an hour afterwards. Both passenger trains returned to ' Stafford ; and there was a loss of two hours-before the line was declared to be clear, so that they could proceed towards Man chester. About ten miles further on, that is, about half way between the Norton• bridge and the Whitmore -stations, the two passenger trains found their progress a second time arrested, another luggage- train having got off the line. .Here a further detention ensued of about two houri and a half, and during this blocking of the rails no fewer than six trains—four from Birming ham, and two from Manchester—were stopped by the accident. Once, more in motion, the two down trains, which usually are joined at: Crewe, and pioceed thence as one train to Manchester, left Crewe as one train at about half-past eight, instead of 3 40 P.M., the appointed time, and reached the Chelford station soon after. nine. Amongst the passengers by the train from London were Mr. Robert Hyde Greg and his daughter, in one of the first-class carriages, and one of his sons and a servant were in his priiate carriage, which %Nits placed on a truck, and the two carriage horses were in a horse-box. Mr. Greg and Miss Greg got out, Chelford being the nearest station to Nercliffe ; and Mr. Greg directed a porter to unfasten the horse-box and his carriage. Just as he had done so, and within a minute and a half of the train stopping, Mr. Greg perceived a down luggage train approaching at some speed. He had no time to get his son and servant out of the carriage, and in deed, fearing the results of the concussion, which he saw was inevitable, be had scarcely time to withdraw his daughter back from the edge of the platform, when the luggage train ran with tre mendous force into the horse-box, which was at the rear of the passenger train. The horse-box was smashed to pieces, the flooring or bottom of it being torn assunder and crushed. The horses were thrown out one on each side ; but though one was a good deal bruised, and the other cut, yet neither seems to have received material permanent injury. Indeed, as soon as they were re leased, they gallopped away, affrighted, into the neigh bouring field. Mr. Gregg's carriage was thrown upwards into the air ; all the glass in it broken ; and his son and servant. who were both inside at the time, were a good deal bruised, and their faces cut with the broken glass. The concussion was so great, that the passenger train, though standing still at the time; was propelled forward about fifty yards. Many of the passengers received severe contusions and bruises, and one gentleman, we understand, had is arm broken. Mr. Cooke, of Old ham, received a severe fracture of the ribs ; but is doing well, and has been enabled to proceed to his home. Mr. Lawrie, a commission agent from London, wast most severely injured, having three of his ribs on the left side fractured, besides numerous contusions and other wounds. He is now lying at the Queen's Hotel, Alderley, and although much hurt, is better than might have been anticipated, and is daily attended by Dr. J. G. Harrison, the medical officer of the com pany for this immediate district. Mr. Hill, a teacher of music from London, who came down for the purpose of being married on the following day, is suffering from several severe contusions of the right arm and wrist, which he is scarcely able to move. He remains at the Queen's Hotel, at Alderley, where he is also visited by Dr. Harrison. The parties hurt appear to have been chiefly those in second-class carriages. Ultimately, we believe, the conjoint train reached Manchester about eleven at night, instead of ten minutes before five ; and of course the mails were delayed six hours between Bir mingham and Manchester by the series of casualties we have described. In every instance, we believe, the acci dents were tracible to the culpable carelessness of the driver of a luggage train ; and to the same cause many of the recent accidents on various lines are justly attri butable. We understand that an inferior class of men are employed as luggage train-drivers. We think this is a practice which should be examined into and abolished; for no man who does not exercise due circumspection and caution ought to be allowed to guide any train' upon a railway. We understand, that, t ) some extent, *mania Yee A fSjiirt i L t b h mBk e a, in sAk ti olp.: l l. ) y Yr: Harrison, Mr. Thompson, Lind Mr. Mslam, officers connected with the company ; and we believe the extent of the damage has been nearly ascertained, but the in quiry has been postponed to a future day.— illanche,ter Guardian. HIGHTON'S ELECTRIC TELE- GRAPH. (From the Railway Register.) An improvement in electric telegraphs has lately been patented by Mr. Highton, of Rugby, and purchased by the Electric Telegraph Company (the present proprie tors of Cooke and Wheatstone's patents), which is likely to prove of considerable importance in telegraphic com munication. . . . . . The improvement consists mainly in the substitution of a slip of metallic leaf, with a magnet placed near it, for the old coil of wire and magnetic needles. The ad vantages gained by this change are many and great: — First, in cheapness.—A. couple of coils and needles, such as are at present used, cost 201.; whereas the cor— responding apparatus on the new plan does not cost more than 205., a difference of 1,900 per cent. . Secondly, in delicacy.—With the new apparatus, a battery of a single cell will work through 100 miles of wire. This gives it many collateral advantages. For instance, it may be employed with great advantage in derived circuits. Thus dividing the current into two or more parts, the same news may be transmitted direct from Liverpool to London, while, at the very same time, the same fluid is travelling through two derived cir cuits, and conveying the same information through Bristol on the one side, and Cambridge and York ( n the other. _ _ _ __ _ _ ....„ ......_ Thirdly—The greater rapidity of motion. Gold leaf being almost without weight, and consequently without momentum, immediately after the signal is made, the leaf drops dead down without any oscillation or swing ing, which always takes place, more or less, in the needles. Fcurthly.—By a slight change in the construction of the keys or handles whieh serve as commutators, double, or even treble the number of signals may be made with each slip of gold leaf, to what can be made with the needles. With a needle, in consequence of its oscilla tion, only one power of electricity can be employed, whereas with the gold leaf, two or three different powers may be employed, deflecting the gold leaf to a less or greater extent, and consequently multiplying, in a cor responding ratio, the number of signals given. Fifthly.—The portability. One of the gold leaf ap paratuses may be carried about in the pocket, and be applied to use for any temporary purpose, at any point of the country, in the course of a minute or two. Sixthly.—ln consequence of the cheap and simple nature of the apparatus, a large reserve may be always kept ready for use at each station, so that if one appa-• ratus be damaged by lightning, or other cause, another may be substituted for it in a few seconds. Seventhly—The slightness of the resistance offered to the electric current. The resistance of each of the coils at present used is equivalent to about six miles of wire, whereas that of a slip ol gold leaf is not equal to more than a few hundred yards. This will enable the same battery at each station to communicate with many more stations at the same time that can be possibly done sit present. Having these advantages, it must soon .entirely super sede the old needle telegraph, and will probably be, for the present, the form of telegraph used, throughout the world, till it, in its turn, is superseded by 841Xle new in vention. Now that the form of telegraph is reduced to such simplicity, it will probably be used for communiza tion, not only to great distances, but between the dif ferent parts of the same public buildings, &c. We con sider it a very important step in the history of telegra phic communication. We hear that the same gentle man is employed in making further experiments, which wehopo will be attended with as favourable results. EXTENSION OF THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH FROM THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY TERMINUS TO THE STRAND.— On Monday last a number of men commenced the extension of the telegraph from the terminus of the South-Western Railway, Nine Elms, to the central sta tion of the company, No. 345, Strand, opposite Waterloo Bridge. lie work was begun by opening the ground in the goods department of the terminus to the depth of about 18 inches, and laying down three-inch cast iron pipes, coated inside and out with hot pitch. In these pipes are introduced two half-inch leaden tutes or pipes, also tarred outside, through which four copper wires, covered with cotton, and waterproofed, pass, conveying the electric power. The course taken by the telegraph is Along Nine Elms-lane, the Wandsworth-road, across to Vauxhall-gardens ; thence traversing Kennington lane and road, Oakley-street and the Waterloo-road ; passing beneath the pavement of Waterloo-bridge, on the west side, up Wellingtop-street, and so across the Strand to the central station. The work has only pro ceeded as yet a short distance up the Wandsworth road. The lead tubing which contains the wires are from 100 to 250 yards each in length, and the joints are soldered together. After each joint is made, it is proved by a battery and very ingenious detector, which instantly in dicates whether the connexion is sound or not. When the extension is completed, a message may be received from Gosport at the central station and answered in less than a minute. The existing telegraph is, of course, not at present interfered with. MONMOUTH. For a series of years the Tories have monopolised the representation of this borough at the municipal board, and, have hitherto succeeded in electing_their_men, chiefly through the agency of the house of Beaufort. For the last two years the burgesses have resolved to get rid of their political thraldom, and by callingpublic meetings antecedent to the annual election, have nomi nated their own candidates, and have succeeded in elect ing the whole of them on each occasion. On Monday last the candidates publicly nominated were triumphantly elected—the numbers being at the close of the poll as follows: Mr. Thomas Swift, merchant (L) 121 Mr. R. Burton, builder ... (L) 93 Mr. Thomas Powell, draper (L) 90 Mr. W. Williams, grocer ... (L) 88 Mr. James Davies, grocer ... 32 Mr. E. Phillips, merchant ... 30 Mr. J.

DIINDRIMI BAY, OCT. 30.—Notwithstanding the many rumours in circulation respecting the plans proposed and the parties engaged to attempt to take off the Great Britain steam-ship, we can state, upon the best authority, that the directors of the Great Western Steam Company have not yet decidedly adopted any individual from among above 100 projectors, nor any specific plan pro posed for accomplishing that important and difficult ob ject. In compliance with the request of the directors, Captain Shrapnel, son of General Shrapnel, well known froth his invention of the destructive shell which bears his name, has visited the vessel and made a short report upon her condition. His suggestions as to the ne cessity of blasting away certain portions of rock near the hull, and its temporary protection by means of a gridiron-shaped lender attached to the stern, 'U fury of the waves on this dangerous shore, have been approveu He has submitted to them a project in writing tor raising the vessel out of the sand, out of the reach of the sea, by means of an apparatus ingeniously combining parallel and vertical moving powers, best calculated, in this scientific gentleman's opinion, to enable the hull of the vessel to be thoroughly repaired—when, by simply re versing the action of this powerful apparatus, he pro poses to launch again the ponderous vessel ; her own weight carrying her down the inclined plane, and out to sea a distance of nearly a thousand yards from the shore. These suggestions, we have been informed through an authentic channel, have inspired the directors with that confidence in the captain's mechanical ability and scientific knowledge, whieh must be so indispensable in the conduct of an undertaking characterised by peculiar difficulties, and certain to be attended, even if successful with very considerable expense to the owners of the stranded vessel. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Permit me to suggest a plan that I think might be tried for the rescue of this splendid vessel, viz , the formation, provided the stratum of sand be deep enough for the purpose, of a dock or " cofferdam" around her, by means of a number of piles sent into the sand in the form of a semicircle, opening to the sea, the spaces between being " banked up" by progressive stages, as the sand would be dug up in the middle to form a vast hollow for the inlet of water on the approach of the high tides, 'whereby the might again be got afloat. Of course, as the work proceeded the ship would sink lower as she lost her support, and means should be taken to prevent her from turning over. Not having seen any suggestion of this - sort, I venture to throw it out, and more scientific men can consider how far such a scheme could be adopted or improved upon.—l am, Sir, yours obediently, TYRO. TO THE EDIEOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—As the final destruction of this magnificent ship would be looked upon by the public with very great re gret, and, by naval men in particular, almost with a degree of pain, retarding, as it would, the solution of questions highly important to navigation : namely, the efficacy of such, large iron ships ; the local variation of the compass ; and, not the least important, the supe riority of the screw over every mode of propulsion, be side the feeling of sympathy so general in the disap pointment and loss accruing to the talented projectors and owners of this truly unique and admirable vessel ; it is to be regretted that the most common, evident, and easy means of saving her had not at once been adopted, and unless they are immediately put into operation her total loss would appear to be inevitable. She is said to lie on the sands of Dundrum Bay, not yet very seriously injured, with ten feet of water in her hold at high tide, which - flows out at ebb, and leaves her dry; in' this position, she is, or should be, securely fixed e a r n s c w h i o n r g i a n n g d o w n h s h o o l e r e c , a, o b r l e ro fm m n g e o a c n h i t w quarter, u h a e r n t e g r o , t t a cvo o r a e t - . means would at once be resort ed to in the Q ueen's vb T ey o nat e hn ffect this latter object, and dra g her off, the follow ingservice:—all her spare, and as much of her heavy ma chinery as possible, should be taken out of her, as well as the remains of her coal, and, indeed, every article but her boilers, that could be removed previously to the nextspring tide; at least a dozen hand-pumps would be pointed into her holds, and all leaks stopped that could be reached at each succeeding low water, leaving the scuttled hole to be closed; until the last eob, before the spring tide intended to float her, her masts would be taken out, and two extra rough spars that have been previously used as shears for her machinery, &c., placed fore and aft on both sides, under her bilges, connected and secured by chain spars under her keel—the sand dug away for this purpose— these spars would be secured upwards by hawsers through the ports over all, or inboard; about 400 water tight butts (casks), securely slung, would be ready on the beach, to be firmly lashed under her bottom to the spars the instant the state of the last ebb would permit; she would at the same moment be cleared of any water tha might remain below the scuttled hole by the pumps, and, this hole closed and made water-tight, a heavy chain would be extended from the ship into deep water, and dropped with a buoy on it, to be picked up by the steamer that is destined to drag her off; another of the same length, with an anchor, it might also be found necessary to warp out, should the steamers not be able to get close enough ; one of these l a tt er vesse l s , o f 300 horse-power an d li g ht draught, with two tugs, would be perhaps sufficient.

PRICE SD. THE CORN TRADE. BRITISH. admit Comparatively r l w i t o t l r e k rain hn n h g a n s a fang rr l i l e e d n o d n u w r th a t d h v e n n w t e a the ed plough' houg though a t t h the again nd been n scarcely n yetmo motion, o n n a , c a o n n i dit s i ti o o n u,l to d there be no return of wet, farmers will be actively em ployed in the fields in the course of a few days. Under these circumstances an immediate falling off in the sup plies of grain from the growers may be calculated on ; but as the Millers and merchants have still tolerable stocks on hand, dec - eased deliveries may perhaps for a time produce little effect on prices. Indeed, something like a check to the upward movement has already taken place, nor is this . by any means surprising, when we consider that the value of grain has been constantly on the advance for a period of three months. e . The excite tehaesuhreelie su f l th si e d t ing, the but de ficiency in this important crop leas been exaggerated; on excite ment consequent on the discovery of the xtent of the e p e o t ta h t i o ng fai i l l u as reisnow in transpired to lead to in the contrary, the more the m Ltkr is investigated, the, clearer is the proof that an immense amount of food has some been totally lost, and that a very large importation of foreign corn will be absolutely necessary to make good this falling off in the home produce. We are, therefore, inclined to view the present quiescent state of the trade as the natural result of the previous activity, and not as an indication of doubt as to whether the advance already , established be really warranted by the actual position of affairs. The extraordinarily large supplies of wheat brought forward by the farmers during September and October have been only partially consumed, a portion thereof being now in the hands of the millers and mer chants ; whose wants having been satisfied, they, as prudent tradesmen, feel no disposition to enter into fur ther immediate investments. The consumption of bread Is, however, unusually great, and is more likely to in crease than diminish, prices of potatoes having risen to such a height as to render it doubtful whether bread be not the cheaper article of food. The stocks of wheat and flour in the hands of the millers and bakers cannot therefore, be expected to last very long, and in the course of a very few weeks a renewed demand for wheat may be calculated on. We are, consequently, disposed to think that no decline of moment can occur in prices of this article, and even doubt whether the highest point has yet been touched. In regard to the probable extent of the supplies from abroad, we see no reason to alter the opinions expressed on former occasions, viz., that until the spring of next year it will be impossible to obtain a large quantity. The practicability of securing millions of quarters is very glibly spoken of ; but those really well-informed on the subject know perfectly well that such statements are wholly without foundation. From what quarter of the world are these millions to come? France, Holland, and Belgium are buying wheat wherever it is to be got. In the Baltic there are compa ratively no stocks of old. At Odessa vessels were, ac cording to the most recent accounts, so exceedingly scarce as to render large shipments impossible. In the Mediterranean prices of wheat are nearly as high as in this country ; and there is consequently no inducement to consign from thence to Great Britain. Our principal dependance must, therefore, be on America. In a recent number we endeavoured to show that very erroneous notions are entertained respecting the capabilities of the United States, and from what we have since learned we are not inclined to alter our opinion. At New York the total stock of flour consisted on the 15th October, of about 40,000 or 50,000 barrels. Supplies, it is true, were coming in fast from the interior ; but to talk of millions being received from the other side of the Atlantic, and that within the space of a few months, is perfect nonsense. We notice these matters merely to point out the real state of affairs ; we certainly have no wish to encourage speculation, but we deem it a duty to dissent distinctly from these who would endeavour to make it appear that all cause for apprehension respecting the possible scarcity of food is at an end. The accounts from Ireland are certainly not of a character to lead to any such conclusion. The rise in the value of the coarser descriptions of grain used as substitutes for potatoes has there received no check, and all our letters agree in stating that the wants of the people are daily becoming more pressing. At Limerick the high price of 565. per qr. had been paid for Indian corn, and oatmeal had been selling in different parts of the island at the unprece dented advance of 40s. per tin. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London were small up to Friday, but since then a larger number of cargoes have come to hand from the east coast. The quantity reported up to this (Saturday) evening amounts to only 13,503 qrs. The sh ,w of seraph s by land-carriage from the home counties has been quite trifling since Monday ; the few runs exhibited on the Essex and Kent stands on Wednesday were principally parcels left over from previous arrivals, n a. was there much fresh up on Friday. Notwithstanding the moderate nature of the supply, the trade hai not been by any means lively but though• the millers have acted`with the utmost caution, and Te.vi - Oik.to ply chases have been made foe shipment coastwise kince the commencement of the week, still former prices have been about supported. ards,;,v?,thanndhill"hat. ZirtittlfYlP .) :"^rar inquiry for duty-paid foreign wheat has been even mon restricted than the demand for English. Mark-lan has been visited by corn-merchants and millers from Liverpool and otter parts of the k'ng,lom, evidenilj looking for foreign wheat. but they appeared dis appointed at the prices asked ; and very f. w bargains have, consequently, been closed. The lower descriptions, such as Polish, Odessa, Danube, A:c., he ve met with more attention than finer sorts from the Baltic, and we should not be surprised if any inquiry for the first named kinds were to spring up, prices of these being at present very little higher than those recently obtained fur Indian corn. Nothing of interest has transpired in bonded wheat , the idea of the duty being taken off, which some entertained last week, appears to be given up ; at all events no inclination has been shown to buy bonded wheat in preference to free, and the difference in value between the two is the existing rate of duty (4s. per quarter.) Quotations of flour have remained perfectly stationary, with but a moderate extent of business passing in the article. The metropolitan bakers have still sufficient stock on hand to carry them on for a few weeks, and seem determined not to buy more till this shall have been exhausted. In American flour, whether free or under lock, the operations have also been on a restricted scale ; and prices have remained precisely as they were last week. The arrivals of English barley have been scanty, and no supplies of this grain have yet reached us from abroad. The maltsters seem to be completely out of stocks ; in which position of affairs they have no alternative but to comply with the demands of factors. Not only has the advance of Monday_ been supported, but in some cases prices not then obtainable have been realised, say 545. for prime malting samples, and corresponding rates fcr other sorts ; there was, however, less inclination to buy on Friday than in the beginning of the week. The rise in the value of malt has kept pace with the advance in the prices of barley, and the demand for the former has been fully as active as that for the latter article. Though 9,632 quarters of oats have arrived from Ire land and 28,979 quarters from abroad, the smallness of the receipts from bur own coast and Scotland, and the belief that there is now very little on passage from the sister isle, have imparted a very firm character to the trade. So few English beans have appeared as to render ex tensive operations impossible i and in the absence of sales of consequence, quotations have remained nomi nally unvaried. Egyptian beans have been in rather lively request, and for parcels on the spot, as well as for cargoes to arrive, ls. to 2s. per quarter more has in par tial instances been obtained. The cold weather experienced in the early part of the week led to an improved demand for boiling peas, but on Friday there was less disposition to buy, and the ex treme races of Monday were paid with some reluctance. In hog peas there has not been much passing, and prices have undergone no change requiring notice. Indian corn on the spot has moved off in retail at very full prices. Floating cargoes have been much inquired for by buyers on Irish account, and the contracts closed have been at rates l s. to 2s. per qr. above those at which sales were made last week. FOREIGN. We have advices from New York of the 15th of October, and accounts of corresponding dates from other parts of America. The demand for flour does not ap pear to have been so lively on the other side of the Atlantic as might have been expected after the exciting reports from hence ; still a great deal of business has been done at the principal shipping ports. At New York prices of good Genesee flour had during the pre vious fortnight fluctuated between sd. and sd. 75c., but the latter rate was no laver obtainable on the 15th u lt., . . the top price being then sd. 50c., or about 245. per The shipments from New York had amounted to 64,042 brls. of flour, 113,125 bushels of wheat, 55,785 bushels of rye, and 38,055 bushels of Indian corn. From Mon- trear we have advices of the 12th October. Large pur chases of flour appear to have been made there on English account, and, shipping being more plentiful there than at New York and other ports in the United States, we may calculate on receiving comparatively more from Canada than from the States. Very high rates had been made at Montreal,'say 31s. to 31s. 6d. fur fine, and 325. to 325. 6d. per brl, for extra fine quality. From the northern parts of Europe the accounts de scribe the wheat trade as having become rather more subdund than it had been in the beginning of the month. Barley seems also to have excite 3 considerable atten tion at Hamburg. The business done there has been principally free on board at Danish ports, at prices varyinz from 28s. to 295. per quarter. For oats to be shipped from outports, weighing 38i1b., 21s. 9d. to 225. 3d. per quarter was asked at Hamburg on Tuesday last.—Mark-lane Express. • It would appear from letters just' received, that the King of Sardinia has reduced the import duty on wheat, which is now admitted without restriction as to flag. In consequence of this, parties well informed in the Roman States imagine that the Papal Government will expedite the, measures which are alleged to be under discussion for restricting the export of grain, and that the Neapo litan Government will adopt a similar step. Statements of this kind, however, in the preseat state of the corn markets all over the world, must not be too implicitly lied p upon. , \ ,0 'RAILWAY INTguim ENCE. , LONDON AND NdI7I4VESTE4RN. 721 \ BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESD 1,- ykIONG.—ThiS afteß noon a special meting of the *-- \ rjetnes of the r Loiidd and North-Western Company e;liti,ld at - Itly--QllO 8 Hotel here, with a view to the 'fiitittisetrOth ,e -- . e t ment entered into by the directors :444 ‘t he t I.Ati k ir of the Birmingham, Lichfield and Manchester, and Rugby and Warwick Railways. Mr. George Carr Glyn was in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the sanction of the proprietors would in the first instance be requested to the contract that had been entered into with the Birmingham, Lich.. field, and Manchester Railway Company —a project which had been carried successfully through Parliament by a separate and independent company, but with power to sell the line, or lease it to the London and North- Western. The terms of the agreement had been ap proved by the proprietors of the Birmingham and Lich field line, and he felt assured that the proprietors of the London and North-Western would find it to be to their interest to ratify the contract. The line was one of con siderable importanc e i n p o i nt o f l oca l tra ffi c, an d w i t h some alterations from the original draft, by which the route lay more in the neighbourhood of Sutton Cele fi-ld, it would bec )me still more extensively useful. Tl.e line would, indeed, be a continuation of the pre sent company's line to Manchester. in c•innexion with their other lines in that district, and thus they would be able to accommodate a greater amount of traffic than otherwis i they could well manage. He therefore begged • to move that the agreement between the two companies be confirmed. • - The resolution was unancmcusly passed. -- The CHAIRMAN again said that in consequence of the loss of the Warwickshire and London project, it became necessary that they should endeavour to work the line from Rugby to Leamington. The present company had taken half the shores in the Rugby and Leamington Company, and they would now have to consider the pro priety of sanctioning a transfer of the other half, so that the line might become'the entire property of the Lon don and North-Western - Company. He was sure he need not say anything about the importance of the traffic on this line, knowing as they did that the Leamington line was one of the most valuable for passenger traffic in the kingdom. The Rugby and Leamington Company Was formed of 360,000 shares, 180,000 of which they had at par, but had been obliged to pay 41. per share premium for the other half, which was no doubt a large price, but in view of the extent of the traffic was after all but a small sum. He moved that the agreement fur the pur chase of this line be also sanctioned. The resolution was carried. . Mr. Richard Cadley, and a few other gentlenien, having come into the room rather late, owing to a mis understanding as to the time of meeting, the chairman recapitulated his statement, and mentioned the business done. Mr. Cadley said he was perfectly satisfied with the resolutions, and, indeed, his confidence in the di rectors of the company was such that he would have had no hesitation in agreeing to them on their simple recommendation. CHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD.—RESIGNATION OF THE CHAIRMAN AND HIS BROTHER. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—A special general meeting of the shareholders in the Chester and Birkenhead Rail.. way took place at twelve o'clock to-day, for the purpose of authorising and empowering the directors to raise, by way of mortgage, the sum of 100,0001. to be employed in the construction of the extension line from Grange lane station to the dock upon Wallasey Pool. A con siderable body of proprietors were present. Mr. William Jackson, chairman of the company, presided. The CHAIRMAN proposed a formal resolution giving the directors the necessary power to raise the loan. At the last general meeting, held about a fortnight ago, said the chairman, in continuation, the directors were authorised to proceed with the extension line, and to carry out other arrangements. At that period he had it in contemplation to take the step he was about to take ; but he considered it best to pause until the present meet ing, in order to see whether he could be useful in carry ing out the arrangement with the trustees of the Duke of Bridgewater. There existed, he was happy to believe, no impediment now to the whole arrangement being carried out, namely, the extension of the line to the docks, and agreements with the Cheshire Junction party, the Commissioners of Birkenhead, and the trus tees of the Bridgewater estate. But, at the same time, he must explain to the proprietors, and he wished to do it as gently as possible, as he desired to give no offence, that parties rather personally opposed to him had the power in themselves of carrying out these several arrangements, inasmuch as they represented all the differents interests. fle should, therefore, be consulting the best interests of the proprietors by retiring from the direction, and he must no longer be considered as acting in the capacity of a director. After what he had stated, the proprietors would agree with him, that when great interests were concerned, private feeling should not be allowed to in terpose, and he must candidly state that at present those interests would be best managed by those who had the power, which he had not, of carrying out the arrange. ments. If those arrangements were carried out, they would certainly be to the ultimate benefit of the com pany. He thanked the proprietors for their courtesy on this, and their many acts of kindness on former occa sions; and he hoped they would alt enjoy the prosperity to which he had ever thought the line would arrive. The Chairman concluded by moving the resolution. Mr. CHRISTOP/TER BENTHAM seconded the resolution, and it was unanimously carried. Toe Thseting was about to separate, when. Mr. J. S JACKSON, the Chairman's brother, rose, and Nith some emotion, sari he should follow the steps of hi; brother, and resign his seat as one of the directors. Ile had great s3tisfiietion in the belief that he had alwai - s at -tral No notice whatever was tglien, either by directors or proprietors, of these somewhat extraordinary proceed ings; and the meeting srparated without the customary court-sy of thanks being tendered to the Chairman. It is said that the chair At the board will be offered to Ww. Potter. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, NOVEMBER 4.
