The following is a further issue from the Finan cial Reform Association :---- Subject " The War Establishments. The Home Staff."--Having shown how the irregular nature of the business of the Ord nance swells' the mere office expenses, for salaries, postages, stationary, Ste:, to 91,1361., the association proceeds in this section to show that in the Army office-and in the staff of the Home Department enor mous office expenses are incurred to repeat - in part, the duty paid for by the Ordnance-office. But, first, it is necessary'to state that Britain is divided into the following districts and sub•districts tor military ptirposes. • The first chief diatrict is the Northern-and Midland, ! with head-quarters at Manchester,Lieutenant-Gentral Sir The& Arbuthnot commanding ; with Lieutenant Fane, of the 50th F oo t; an d L or d B urg h ers h ; eon of the Earl of Westmoreland, a Captain of the 17th Foot, (both absent from their respective regiments, but drawing regimental pay,) as his aides-de-camp ; with Colonel H. W. Barnard, of the Grenadier Guards, ab sent from that regiment, acting as assistant adjutant general, receiving regimental pay and the pay and allowance of that office ; and Colonel 'York, receiving double pay as assistant quartermaster general. The sub-districts of the northern and midland Counties are, first, the north-West counties, the head quarters of which is at Chester, where Major-General Sir William Warre command s , and reports all his business, through a staff of clerks, to Sir Thomas Arliuthnot,'it Manchester, who, 'by his staff of clerks, reports froth Chester to the head-quarters of the army in London ; where, it may be observed in passing, the Postages alone amount to more than 30,0001. per annum. The officer* at head-quarters -send answers or orders, by their secretaries and, expensive compli catibn d clerks, to Chester, by way Of - Manchester, where, in defiance of railway convenience; and the progress of the age the answers or ordem must be delayed to be copied by the' stiff there, then lent 'on to Cheater to be copied, and issued, after more delay and copYing; to :regimental quarters. The' counties; or parts of counties, which thus' receive their Military - orders from- . London through Manchester, and 'from Manchester through Chester, areLandashire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Flintihira; Denbighshire, and the Isle of Man ; a roundabout - way: this of . communitating orders from London to Shrewsbury., To transact this roundabout businewat Chester, Captain Warm, of the 57th Foot ; is taken from his regiMint, fiis regimental' pay following him, and is put ;upon staff pay and' Allowance as an aide-de-Camp. Also Captain Gordon, ottfie 91st Foot, is taken from his regiment in like manner to be Brigade-major: ' The second sub-district of the midlands is formed of the - -shires of Northumberland, Cumberland; Dur bath, Westmoreland, York, Derby; Nottingham; and Rutland ; the head-quarters of which are at York, Major-General Thorn commanding, Lieutenant Kennedy, of the - Sikh - Foot,: ' aide-de-camp,' and Captain Wynyard; major fot 'brigade. In 'this district there are all the seine expenses and 'delays in commu nictiting.with London, through - the superior officer at Manchester, that occur in- the first sub-district. In vain the railways 'acceleretethe carriage of travellers and letters - fiorn I:Ondon to-Nottingham, 'or Derby, or York. The multitude' of military officers for whlm there' is 'no ";legitimate employment must be provided • for! - -yoUnger sons, 'diriaherited by primo genitUre, must be provided' for; the connexions' of corrupt- peliticiana must proiided for; and this is part of the - provision that a "refuge for the destitute ". shill - be formed ~at Manchester, u n d er a Lieutenant-General ; -: and' another at York, under a M . ajor-Generil; and that all reports from regiments at Nottinghatif or Derby to London shall go to York tor:employ a staff of tax-paid officials there, who send them to Manchester to employ the officials there, who at last send the Corrrespendence to London. The third sub-district comprises" the counties of Warwick, Stafford, 'Northampton, and Worcester, the head - qUarterii of Which are at Birmingham, Colonel Arbuthnot commanding; Captain Mein of the - 13th Foot, eimient from' hia regithent; major of brigade. And here, again, at the 'distance of four hours from LOndon,reports must be sent to'be declared'and'copied at Manchester, before they take that short journey Of four boura to London direct.. The second chief district of England is the south west, comprising the counties of Wilts, Dorset, and Hants, the head-quarters of whiCh are at Portsmouth, Major-General Lord 'Frederick' Fiticlarence corn Mending ; Major Harvey, .87th Foot, absent from his regiment, acting- as - aide- ie-camp ; captain J. H. Purvey, as major of , brigade. In this " refuge for the destitute" there are all'the usual tax-paid chiefs and assistants. ' • The third chief district of England is the western, comprising the counties of Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset (exclusive of Bristol and its vicinity, 'which sends its reports direct to London, and receives them direct). The head-quarters of this district are at Deionport, Major-General the Hon. H. Murray commanding ; Captain Prothero, of the 14th root, with double pay, acting as aide-de-camp; Captain T. Nelson, of the 40th Foot, with double pay, major of brigade ; with all the usual staff of tax-paid assistants. As a sub-district, subject to the foregoing, there are the counties of Monmouth and part of Wales; head-quarters at Carmarthen ; Colonel Lowe com manding; • Major Parkinson, unattached, aide-de camp ; Captain Mann, of the 90th Foot, both with double pay and allowances, major of brigade; with all the usual staff to report to Devonport, and so to London. The next district is Jersey, Major-General Sir J. H.• Reynett commander and governor, with pay and allowance in his threefold capacity. • • The next district is Guernsey and Alderney; Major-General John Bell; commander and governor, with similar pay and allowances according •te his rank and his two offices ; . Lieutenant-Colonel Le • Mesurier, town-major, with two-fold pay.• There is next a district for the inspection of cavalrj, called the district ofLoridon, at 'the head of which is 'Major-General Brotherton, with 'Lieutenant Rourke, of the 75th FOot, for his aide:de-camp, and Lord De Ros, a Colonel on half-pay, acting as major of brigade (the nature of - whose duties no Soldier can even guess .aty, receiving the halt-pay with one hand,' the full pay of a brigade-major with the other hand, which, having'put in his pockets, he, whose dignity in the peerage is six hundred and fourteen years old, holds out both hands for "forage," which having received ,he holds out another hand for " lodging money," and then both handi for . " postage and • stationary," and after that'opens his pocket for "travelling expenses," and lastly 'for "salary for d - clerk," to do such duty as by any contrivance can attached to the office. The young De Roies are also, ;by their political con ' nexions, the Dukes of Richmond, Leinster, Rutland, .. &ee l perching themselves.; or are perched upon mili tin" positions where they can pick' up something to live upon. ' Thenext district is that of North Britain; Major- General Riddell commanding ; captain -- Riddell, Royal Artillery, aide-de=camp ;, Colonel John 'Eden, assistant adjutant-general . ; Lieutenant John'O'Nell; staff adjutant; each receiving pay according to army rank, and staff pay according tO staff rank ; the first drawing pay for' - the , sinecure office of GOvernor of Edinburgh Castle ':(Which costs 8641: for its govern-, ment, charged upon the ordnance estimates, besides Gen.

TWO ENGLISHMEN .SEIZED BY BRIGANDS.—RANSOM OF TEX THOUSAND DOLLARS CLAIMED. Our Malta correspondent sends Ili the following singular event : " Extract froth a letter dated Marsala, Nov. 3 : " ' We have all been in a state of excitement here during the last fortnight in consequence of the strange _adventure which happened 'to poor Mr. Barlow and Mr. Alison. They 'were out at Infersa for a viliagia tura, and one morning the two gentlemen rode up - to Mail, leaving Mrs. and Miss Barlow at Inferia, with a promise to return early 'in the evening. However they did not arrive that night, and the alarm of the ladies may be conceived when they learned next day that they had left Mall about duik the previous evening, as agreed on, and no news of them could be learned from Marsala or the neighbouring country. Still thinking it might be some freak of Barlow's, messengers were sent to Mazara, Trapani, &c., but nothing, could be jeArned of the missing travellers, and the, unpleasant truth began to be evident—viz., that they must have been carried off by robbers and detained for a ransom. There was great excitement in consequence, and detach ments of the National Guards and a considerable force from Trapani, made diligent. ,search about the coun try; but in vain. After two or three days it was determined to try a different tack, which suceceded better. The forces were recalled, ,and the parties most nearly interested led•it to be understood that they had no further intention of adopt_ing hostile measures, and were ready to negotiate. Very shortly afterwards a letter was found at Mail from Barlow, stating that they were in the hands of the Philis tines, and that the Picciotti wanted 4,000 oz. as ransom. The letter was of course in Italian, and a postscript written by one''" of ' the robbers indicated the spot where the money was to be brought. After some negotiation the moderate sum of 500 ounces, or 1,250 dollars was accepted, and the cap tives were liberated, being 'brought back blindfolded 'to near MO, and there left by their honourable escort. 'They were very badly - treated during their capti vity, contrary to the general . usage of the Sicilian brigands in similar cases, bread and cheese and water forming the staple -of their Tare, and their lodgings being a miserable hovel _with only some dirty straw to sleep on. As soon as they. got safe home the search was actively re-commenced ; several arrests were made under circumstances of strong suspicion, and' fortunately the place, where they had been de tained was discovered, anti immediately identified, in consequence of which several. other suspicious parties were arrested, and the affair , is being thoroughly sifted. The Palermo Government has issued very strong orders for the apprehension and summary punishment of the offenders (Mr.. Goodwin and the American Consul having of course shown- great interest in the affair), and no doubt a severe example will be made of theirascals, as their discovery and conviction are now certain.' " Another letter mentions that the discovery of the late prison -house of the above "gentleman was made in consequence of Mr. .Alison having cut his name on a table, and - written it on one of the walls, little thinking perhaps of what value the stupid practice employed try Englishmen of letting all the world into the secret of their having visited such or such a place, would prove to be: "" The - following are extracts from two other letters received on the subject : 1 ', Marsala, Nov. 3, 1843. On Tuesday evening, the 24th October, Mr. Barlow and Mr. Alison were returning to Infersa from Mafl,' where they had been dining with Mr. Hervey. 'lt Was about seVen o'clock, and of course quite 'dark, When, - as they were- quietly riding along, two armed men:sprung upon them from behind a rock, and, holding their loaded guns at their heads, ordered them to follow them without saying a word. Neither Mr. Alison nor Mr. Barlow were armed— they had not even a pistol with them—so that resist ance would have been not only useless, but dangerous.. • Mr. Barlow, however; beginning in hist usual way to argue, was severely struck on the side with a gut', and then both' were knocked down; their hands tied, their eyes bandaged, and in that state they were. compelled to follow the villains fortseveral hours, till towards daybreak they arrived at an out-of-the-way plebe, where they were shut in and guarded, their eyes still bandaged so that they could not make out their situation. Of course Mrs. Barlow was much alarmed at their remaining out the whitle night, and began to fear they had been robbed and murdered. The whole of Marsala was soon alarmed. On Wednesday Morning parties of armed men scoured the country in all directions. Not a town was left unsearched_ ; whole compapties darmi visited Mazzara, Castel Vetrano, Trapani, the moun tains—in short, wherever there was any suspicion of their having been taken. Dispatches were sent up to Palermo; telegraphs were in motion day and night, but not a trace of them could be discovered. On Thursday the alarm began to increase, and the search was more vigilant than ever. Mrs. B. of all others feared the worst, and had almost despaired of hearing anything more about them. `t ' At ten o'clock at night - a loud knocking was heard at the gate of the' Niglio at Mall, where 'Messrs. Ilecart and Whyte were on .the look-out in hopes of discovering some clue to the lost ones. On opening the gateway cautiously no one was seen, but a little tin box was on the. ground, in which was a letter, stating that Mr. B. and his companion were in safe - custody somewhere, no matter where, and that the! piesiotti (so they styled' themselves) were very willing to release them ca the payment of only 4,000 oz.? (equal to nearly 2,0001. sterling), which were to be deposited at some place near Mafl, which was specified. This news, of course, allayed the general Peak, and particularly 'that of Mrs: B. Suffice it to sayl 'that th3'pi•ciotti were content with 500 oz., and that' after soma days spent in negotiating, the twe unfortunates' returned to Marsala .'last Monday, the 30th, where they were received with un usdal demonstrations of joy. A band of music went out to meet them; and all the respectable inhabitants of Marsala; the flags were hoisted °lli the forts, at all the. Baglios ; and every thing was . said - and dtme to welcome' them. Mr: B.' is very 'mdch pulled down by his imprisonment; he had scarcely recovered from an illness when this affair hatpenedi and the rascally pi&iotti, instead of treat ingthem well, as they always do persons taken as hostages, 'gave them nothing' but bread, cheese, and water ; nothing but straw to sleep upon, and in a con fink' room with a, horrid-efiliviia. Mr. A. being a yoiing man'wris' not so Inlidh affected by it,_and the y* next morning after his. arrival in Marsala, he sett off accompanied, by a guard of about twenty armed mdn in search of the place and the robbers. It seems that when the guard was not very wakeful, they made in" observations as' to th e lo ca lity, . an d severa l marks on the chairs which afterwards materially as sis ed Mr. A. in his search: - After two days he suc ce ded in discovering the `precise spot and the chairs 3 enwhich. they had znade.their marks. One of the i olObers was arrested, And - they have already extorted °tine confessions out of him. The money paid was, ipMr. Whyte's advice, mar ked, ' and thus it is to be toped that in.a *erg short time they will be all seized ~ .. - nd shot,. • " Mra.

Artizans will be ,preferred, not above forty-five' years "of age, and with a family of not more than four children. , HoNo-KoNO.—We are happy to find that a great improvement has taken place in the health of the troops at this station; a great number .of the convalescents of the 95th Regiment are now fit for duty. The detach ment of the Ceylon Rifle Regiment, upon whom the ordi nary duties of the garrison have devolved, continue is a comparative Wood state of health.

The gallant Admiral is still active and arieorous in body and mind; but his eyesight very much fails him. Sir William has sent his family to Malta for the winter, or until. he is relieved. A report bar reached us, via Malta, that a paymaster and purser of one of the line-of-battleahips, with Sir Williani Parker, is about to be brought to court-martial for having, contrary to the rules of the service, shipped specie without a permit.' We deCline to name the ship until we hives more authentic assurance of the Fact. ROYAL "NATAL HOSPITAL, SToKEnouss.--T-The Ad miral Superintendent of Devonport Dockyard, Captain Sir 'Thomas Maitland, of the flag ship, and Captain Carter, of the Caledonia, have been engaged, by •Adtni ralty order, during the past week in investigating cer tain charges and'recriminations which have passed be tween the chief clerk and the chief medical officer of the Royal Naval Hospital, Stonehouse.

We .hear, 'however, that the new settlement is fast losing its attractive :features, and that the com plaints of its continued unhealthiness are as well founded as the fact is deplored.. Commodore. Plunaridge, whose orders at first were to remain at Hong Kong,' has been recalled by the Commander-in- Chief, and his arrived. at Singapore, and Sir Francis Collier had ordered' him to: the Bombay division, and intended to proceed.to Hong Kong himself on the arrival of his flag ship the Hastings,_ 72, for England.

FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—Lasns, DEC. 22.—The demand continues brisk for most descriptions of foreign wools, and in prices there is no perceptible im provement. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET.--Leans,' DEC. 22. There have been more sales effected this week in combing wools. Stocks are light, and prices are rather higher, with an, upward..tendency. Clothing wools also are firmer ; and rather better prices have been obtained for some kinds, though the general im provement is not so great as in combing sorts. LEEDS.—Although the business done at our Cloth halls since this day week has, been about the same as usual near Christmas, yet there is more doing out of the market, and the opinion generally entertained is that we have seen the worst, and that business will improve after the newe year. Prices keep up well, and the stocks are below an average at this season. Business has been dull in the warehouses during the week. BRADFORD MARKET, DEC. 21.—Woor...—There is no material alteration in the wool market; stocks continue low, and prices are firm. Yarn.—There is good demand for yarns of all descriptions, but in 'price there is little improvement. Pieces.—The brisk demand in the piece market still continues, but the merchants seem reluctant to give the advance in price commensurate with the rise in the wool and yarn market. ILATICHESTBE, THURSDAY.---The •sudden advance in cotton, amounting from the lowest point to some 20 per cent., has retarded that regular advancement to prosperity which the trade of this district for some weeks past had given such evident tokens of—neither buyers nor sellers seem to know what to do; and it is probable that the same amount of active business will not be done for the next two or three market days •which otherwise. might. have been expected. There are -many extensive spinners and manufac turers under contract till March next, but no doubt they have taken precautions in time to lay in their staples at the low prices. On the , whole the trade is healthy, and with every sign of a steady and durable improvement.

Dr. Bell, Sir Charles Ogle, and Alderman Lucas, the liberal benefactors of the institution. The president, mentioned several instances in which the former ptipils of the institution had re cently distinguished themselfes in the various pursuits which they .had entered upon, and added that upwards of seventy young gentlemen; who had received their education in. this ~achook, bad since become su b scr ib er to it. s The manager of the.D.uke.of Wellington's Spanish estates, which were presented t 9, the Duke by the Cortes after the battle of .

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 23. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF BARON and a London Special Jury.) WALLET V. HEALEY —LIMIL. Sir F. Thesiger, Q.C., Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Bramwell, were counsel for the plaintiff; the de fendant conducted his own case. This was an action brought to recover compensation for certain articles published in the Medical Times, of which the defendant was proprietor and editor. It appeared the plaintiff, who was one of the surgeons to the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-lane, in December, 1847, suc cessfully performed the most difficult surgical opera tions upon two patients in that institution, aged respectively seventy-one and seventy-five years. A statement of these operations was drawn up by the resident surgeon, and inserted in the Lancet, of which the plaintiff's father was pro prietor, and shortly afterwards an advertisement was published in the Times, stating the particulars in detail. About that period the use of ether vapour was discovered. The advertisement stated that those operations having been performed while the patients were under its influence, exhibited the most extra.. ordinary proofs of the safety and value of ether in operative surgery. The articles complained of by the plaintiff were comments on that advertisement, the publication of which was attributed to the plaintiff himself, and his father, . the Member for Finsbury. The defendant designated that proceeding a breach of professional etiquette, and derogatory to the character of any respectable member of the College of Surgeons. He now contended that in those criticisms he had not exceeded the legiti mate duty of a journalist; he had not invaded the privacy of domestic life, but had fairly com mented upon the fact of the publication of advertise ments, to puff the capabilities of the plaintiff as a professional man. The defendant's attention had been directed to the subject by numerous correspon dents, who complained that so gross a violation of the rules by which all the respectable members of the College of Surgeons felt themselves bound, should be suffered to escape without notice. He thereupon commented upon the subject, and now submitted that those comments were not only justi fiable, but that, in relation to similar subjects, much stronger language had been used with impunity in the Lancet and other medical journals. The LORD CillEr BARON left it to the jury to say whether the articles were, under all circumstances, fair criticism. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with 40s. damages. Saturday was the last day of th.se sittings. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. York, Dec 22 . CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAuLa.) Daniel Linden, Adam Stratton, Thomas Wilkinson, Thomas lbbetron Eli Wilman, Joshua Riddehalgh, James Helliwell , William Wood, Xdward Power, and John Smyth, were indicted for conspiring to change the Government and laws, by force of arms, &c. Th ey all, except Power and Smyth, under the advice of Mr. Blanshard, pleaded Guilty, and threw themselyes on the mercy of the Court. Power and Smyth pleaded Not Guilty. It appeared that a policeman went to the Chartist room on the 23d of August, and found nine persons assembled. Power was one of them. He searched him, and found books containing memoranda of reso lution and the proceedings at the Chartist meetings, from April to that time. At a meeting in April Smyth was, sworn to be the secretary and chief speaker. He recommended a collection to purchase arms. Smyth was proposed as delegate to go to Man chester, about the outbreak. They expected a letter from Manchester, to inform them of Bradford, that they had turned out at Manchester to fight the mili• tary. Smyth went to Manchester , on_ the 15th, and came back on the 16th, and he gave orders that every Isection were to hold themselves. in readiness, with their arms ready to strike the blow. The object was to fight against the Government, and to have a re public. It had been arranged that they were to take possession of the police-offices, the railway stations, to pull up , the rails to prevent the military from coming from Leeds, to break the gas-pipes, and put the town in darkness. They were also to seize the magistrates and keep them as hostages. They had a corporal to fourteen men, a sergeant to twenty-eight, and a superior officer to every forty. Witnesses had been called for the defence, but the jury, after a short deliberation, found both the pri soners Guilty. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) John Sutcliffe and Joshua Armitage Were indicted for arobbery with violence, at Huddersfield, on the of of Noyetriber, last. The prosecutor was an old man, a farmer, at As kern, near Doncaster. Sutcliffe kept a beer-house in Castlegate, Huddersfield, which was the resort of thieves and the terror of the neighbourhood. It ap peared he had been staying some days at Hudders field, and on the evening of the above day he went into Castlegate, but actually to Sutcliffe s. After being there some time, the prisoners paid him great attention. At last the prisoners " huddled " (as the witness called it) the prosecutor into the back yard, one taking hold of each arm. When they had got him there one of them pinioned his arms, and the other thrust his hand into a pocket inside prosecutor's waistcoat, and stole from it four or five sovereigns an , l a ss. piece. The jury found both prisoners Guilty. His LOIIDSHIP sentenced them to be transported for ten years. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE). jeshua Metcalfe and Robert Slater, who were found guilty of, a highway robbery at Givendale, and steal ing from Thomas Macdonald, an Irish reaper, 21. Is. 6d., on the 20th of August last, and on whose trial the mistake occurred of a juryman being sworn in a wrong way, were this morning tried for an attempt to rob Peter Henry, the comrade of Mac donald, at the same time and place. The jury found both prisoners Guilty. A previous conviction was then proved against Slater for stealing 201. from his master, and Metcalfe had before been, charged with robbery. His LORDSHIP then sentenced them on both indict ments, Slater to be transported ten and Metcalfe seven years. The Bradford Chartists who had pleaded Guilty entered into recognizances to come up for judgment when called on, to keep the pence for two years. Tomkins, Power, and Smyth were then called up. His LORDSHIP said, they had been convicted of a serious offence, ,which, if their object had been suc cessful, must have produced the most serious conse quences. It was a very bad case, and no thanks to them that thousands of lives were not lost. He then sentenced them to be imprisoned for a year, and give security for their conduct for a year, themselves in 501. each, and bail of 251. each. Farrell, Lilley, and Kershaw were sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with bard labour, and enter into the like recognizances ; and Pogson and Neild, on account of their youth and the recommendation of the jury, to only one month. His LORDSHIP told them all that they bad reason to be grateful to Government for having indicted them only for Conspiracy. MISS BREMER'S NEW CHRISTMAS Boos, " THIS MIDNIGHT SUN; ' A PILGRIMAGE." .

There can be little doubt that a cordial wel come will indeed be given to the popular Swedish authoress. Lucinr.m BaLmolcr.—This new novel is exciting much public speculation, arising from two causes—the singular interest of the work itself, and the peculiar position of the author ; the story being one of those deeply exciting autobiographical narratives that hare always exercised great influence over the whole body of readers, and the writer holding a name and station in society which are sure to impress on everything proceed ing from him a degree of importance rarely allowed to an unknown author. CADYERTISEMENT.]-A Dreadful Bad Leg Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. W. Arnsby, Ayston Tollgate, Uppingham, had been very grievously allicted for a number of years with a dreadful bad leg, which rendered him unable to walk without the most excruciating pain. Various applications were used with the view of healing it, but all failed until he used Hol loway's Ointment and Pills, which were recommended to him by Mr. Oliver of Uppingham. These invaluable medicines effected a perfect cure of his leg in a short splice •of time; thus again showing the superiority of these remedies in all cases of old woUnds, bad breasts, cancers, tumours, and swellings.—Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, L6ndon. 'A VERY OLD MAID. Died, at Leacamhilidh, parish of Kilbride, Island of Arran, on the Ist instant, Janet 111‘Kelvie, after three weeks' sickness, at the ad vanced age of 102 years and 8 months. She was con fided to her bed for the last eight years by rheumatism; but otherwise she was generally healthy, retaining a fresh appearance quite extraordinary at her age. Her fabulties continued entire to the last hour, and did not seem to suffer in the least from old age. Her memory whs incredibly retentive and correct, both of old and late events. She was pious and industrieus, exemplary in her work and conversation, handsome in person, and virtuous in mind; remarkable for her affection to her friends and relations, which continued unabated to the end. She was never, married, and, was a native of the pariah where she died.—Ayr Observer. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. • MANCHESTER, DEC. 23.—The approach of Christmas increases the disinclination for business which previously existed; and the transactions which have taken place during the week have been quite of a retail character. Liverpool and Wakefield both very quiet yesterday, and the latter somewhat lower for all articles. We have * thinly attended market to-day, and nothing of any con sequence doing. Quotations of wheat must be reduced Id to 2d per bushel; flour, is per sack; Indian core and beans, is per quarter; oats and oatmeal somewhat firmer. In other articles no material alteration. LIVERPOOL, DRc. 23.—The duty on wheat has ad vanced to is per quarter, on flour to 4s 2id per barrel, and on oats to 3s per quarter. The Corn Exchange yes terday was very slenderly attended, and the business do ing in free wheat and flour was limited, without any per ceptible change in the prices since Tuesday. About 3,000 barrels of Western Canal flour, in bold, changed h,nda at 25s 3d to 25s 6J per barrel. No transactions transpired in bonded wheat. Oats and oatmeal realised the full prices of Tuesday. Peas were Is per quarter higlier. Barley and beans without alteration. There w‘a a fair sale for Indian corn, but the prices were scarcely so good as on Tuesday. To-day no change whatever is apparent in prices, and the business is insig nificant. a. d. Wheat, per 701 h : Barley, Feeding.. S I. d 6. Is 4 s. dO.

Parcels of either ' home or foreign growth are difficult to quit, and prices are quite nominal.—Flour—Barrels come into favour at 28s 6d to 295; home-made is a dull sale, though prices continue to go in favour of the buyer.—Barley, prime. is scarce, and commands former prices, whilst inferior must. be quoted 2d to 3d lower. —Oats have recovered the decline (3d to 4d) noted on Friday, and sell freely at the rate of this day week.—Oatmeal sells slowly at our quotation.--Indian Corn goes regularly into consturr tion at 2s 6d under the prices of this day week—say 71 15s to 8/ per ton.
