DEVIZES, Nov. 9.—The supply of Wheat te-day was not so good as last week; old was much in request, as also was the best description of new, and both sold readily, the old at fully last week's prices, and the best new at an advance of 6d a sack. In a few instances, perhaps, a greater improvement was made; some par cols of not quite the best quality obtaining an advance of is a sack; 31s was the top price of old, and 27s 6d of new; for the inferior damp Wheats there was no de mand, but all of a saleable quality was quickly cleared off. Barley was in large supply, and the trade very dull. In Oats, Beans, and Pasts, there was but little do ing, and no alteration in price.

EXETER MARKET, FRIDAY.—Cattle Market—The supply to-day was moderate, beasts were rather more plentiful, and sheep rather less than on the last market day. There was a good attendance of buyers, and things moved on pretty steadily. Fat beef must be quoted at from 8s 3d to 9s per score; cows and calves were not much asked for, and sold at 81 Ss tto 141 each; barreners, about 5s per score; the best fat wethers were worth 6d per lb; ewes, 5d to sad; keeping sheep, 30s to 38s each.

Old wheat, 7s 9d to 8s 3d per bushel; new ditto, 6s to 7s 4d. A very fine Belgian wheat was on offer, at 60s per quarter.

B.—This has been as large, or perhaps the largest November fair known here. The attendance of buyers being rather small, a very flat sale was found in the morning. The graziers were, however, ultimately obliged to yield, and a great number found purchasers at prices very much below their expectations, and less than the same beasts would have realised a month since, at from lOs to 20s per head; best fat bul locks, 45s to 50s; general fat cows and steers, about 40s; sheep, in great number, with a dull demand, at from 5d to sial per lb.; cows and calves, of good quality, with a fair demand. The horse fair was better attended than usual, and of better general quality. BRISTOL CORN MARKET. Nov. 9.—No change what ever took place in the prices to-day, and scarcely any business was transacted. the corn stacks, consisting of the produce of 14 acres of barley, in flames. A messenger was immediately sent to Rugby for the fire-engine, which was dispatched as quickly as possible with four post-horses, from the Eagle Hotel, preceded by Mr. Bromwich, the superintendent of the fire brigade, who made such arrangements that no delay took place in getting the engine to work. This. seconded by a good supply of water, and the active co-operation of a large number of people from Rugby, Dunchurch, Cawston, Thurlaston, and Baton, had the effect of confining the fire to the place where it broke out, but, had not assistance been so promptly rendered, the consequences must have been most disastrous, the dwelling-house and atacksyard being near the spot ; and, even as it was, it required the utmost exertions of the assemblage to save them from destruction. During the time the fire was in its strength a stranger attracted the attention of a n d M not Sins, g t t g e i m t i i n n g c o t o n s g eq iv u e e n a c n e y o a f s his s ist a l o n o c e k . i n g q up u o i n e t l b y e i o n n g , questioned his replies were so unsatisfactory that he was given into the custody of police constable Broughton, by whom he was taken before Mr. J. Atty. The prisoner gave the name of James James, and said he was 27 years of age, a native of Canterbury, and connected with one of the most respectable families in the city. He was for some time a book-keeper in a highly re spectable commercial house in Canterbury, but having formed some loose connexions he disgraced himself and lost his situation. Since that time he had became reckless, and he did not now care what became of him. Nothing, however, should induce him to give his reel name, as he would rather suffer death than dis- ' grace the other members of the family, two of whom held high official situations under Government. The prisoner was ultimately remanded till 11 o'clock on Sa turday morning. One solid block of Anglesey stone, weighing before dressing twenty-seven tons, has just been placed in work as part of the coping of the arch over the western en trance of the tunnel, by the Bangor station of the Chester and Holyhead Railway. The arch is extremely massive, and must have cost an immensity of money.— Welshman. AMALGAMATION OP THE BOARD 01' STAMPS AND TAXES WITH THE EXCISE DEPARTMENT.—II is under stood that the long contemplated union of the Excise and the Stamps and Tax Department will shortly be carried into effect. Mr. John Wood, the Chairman of the Board of Excise, has been for some time past in daily communication with the Chancellor of the Exche quer on the subject. The change has been pressed for ward in consequence of the largo number of Excise officers who, by the operation of the Spirit Licenses Act, are now rendered unnecessary. To ascertain the pre cise number that can be spared, a set of questions has been sent from the Board of Excise to every supervisor throughout the kingdom, to state to what extent the officers in each district may be reduced in the altered state of the law, and without injury to the public service, and the answers that have been received show that number to amount to upwards of eight hundred. These officers have fse. the present been " dropped " to half-pay ; and it is expected, should the plan proposed take place, that they may be employed in the collection of many of the taxes at present rece:ved by local tax collectors, such as the income-tax, taxes for horses and carriages, &c., aud, in fact, the whole of those known as assessed taxes, without the charge of poundage for collection, as in many cases allowed. Mr. John Wood, the present Chairman of the Board of Ex cise, is spoken of as the proposed chairman of the new board, and 11. L. Wickham, Esq., the present Chairman of the Board of Stamps and Taxes, as vice-chairman. Two Comaaissioners of Excise are expected to retire on the superannuation allowance, and other alterations are anticipated. A saving, it is said, will by this scheme arise to the public, as at present the Excise has, to carry its operations into eft ct, a chairman with a salary of 2,000/ ; deputy chairin,in, 1,5001 ; and five commissioners at 1,2001. per annum each ; the Chairman of Stamps and Taxis, 1,600/. ; the Deputy Chairman, 2,0001., with several other officers with salaries varying between 1,000:. and 2,000/. It is expected that but a compara. tively small additional number of persons to the present Excise staff till be able to collect the revenue of both departments. ISLE or SLYE.—We are happy to hear from our Skye correspondent, who writes on the 27th October, that the harvest has been g ot over favourably:—" We have had particularly fine weather for the harvest work for a fortnight past, and the crops have been got in better this season than for some years. Although the return is perhaps rather below than above an average in quantity, the condition in which the corn has been got in will, I think, make up for thi s . We have had very cold north wind du ri n g part of the time since my and last communication , week we had a little snow, which, however, remained on the ground for a couple of days only. We have since th at time until to-day had weather resemblin g , I should think, what in America they call their Itidiansuinmer.' It has now become wet and misty—the sta ple we at her of this quarter; but I believe there is very little corn now exposed in any part of the island. The disease continues, and this—for onlamong the potatoes stilly a small quantity was planted by some of the people—has ea. exhausted the whole stock of some of them ai r dy_ of Ist.v. Inverness Courier. TUE ORLEANS FAM --We believe that the Count and Countess within these few days remove d anduilly fr o from theirca Claremont, family emont have d e have taken up their reside nc e at the St ar a nd Garter at Richmond. Some recent sta tements which have appeared respecting the unwholesomeness of the water at Clare mont at the present tim e meh possibly account for the temporary removal of illustrious personages from that place. We are unaw are Richmond; ew ether it is intended to a make a prolonged stay but at this late when period of the season, and staying several distinguished y personages who have been sta at the Star and Garter t h rou ghout the autumn have tak en l their departure, there is little doubt that ample accommo dation can be afforded this to the Count and his family in large establishment. We believe that the ex-Royal Fa mil y of France have re cently received from Paris a lar g e quantity of valuable jewellery and trin k ets , their persoisal property, and which were saved from th e sack o f the Tuileries at the period of the revolution. A hen, which had been accidentally confined by a block of wood in the corner of a house at Keighleys was lately found alive, after havin g p assed twenty-three days without food or water, and has since recovered full vigour, although when discovered she was so much emaciated as to weigh less than a pound.—Starnford Mercury. Some Italian weeds have sprung up on a heap of volcanic earth that has been imported from Rome to Dover for the purpose of making cement, and it is thought not improbable that these weeds, which have hitherto been unknown in England, may spread into the neighbouring fields, and ultimately become naturalized in this country. The remains of the late Hon. Mrs. Dawson Darner were consigned to the family vault in Caine Church, Dorset, on Tuesday. The burial service was delivered by the Rev. G. Arden, to a crowded congregation of the tenantry, and the children educated at the schools estab lished by that benevolent lady. The Right Hon. Colonel Dawson Darner, Viscount Ebrington, Sir Horace Sey mour, Hon. Mr. Xerning hare, Hon. W. Dawson, the Hon. and Rev. W. H. Scott , Hon. H. Parnell, Mr. S e y mour, Mr. F. Seymour, Mr. D. Erskine, &c., were among the mourners who assisted styee obsequies. r commencin g GRANTRAM.—The p parations fo the Great Northern Railway are actively proceeding i n this neighbourhood.—Lincoln Mercury. The new system of prison discipline adopted in the county gaol appears, so far as it has yet gone, to answer admirably. All the magistrates from a distance who have inspected it have left in the visitors' book expres sions of their satisfaction at the excellent management of the prison and the manner in which the system is carried out, some of them adding to it their conviction that the sum laid out in t he alteration has been judici ously expended. Upon th e p risoners, too, so far as can be judged from their own statements, the effect is most salutary, moat of them expressing irksomeness at the separate confinement, and many adding that the y are determined not to subject themselves to it again . Chelmsford Chronicle. TORQUAY.--On this railway, which is a branch of the South Devon, the works are fast drawing t o a Close, and it is probable that the line will to o p ened i n a month or six weeks' time.

How TO FILL BOXES. — At — Ballinasloe theatre A the boxes were filled in double quick time by the shilling gallery giving way.—Limerick Examiner. TIVERTON MARKET, Nov. 7.—There was a tolerable supply of grain, and a fair attendance of buyers, the only old corn delivered to-day, was for previous contracts to the millers. Of the new samples exhibited, many were evidently in a melted state. The prices varied but little from those of last week, namely from 5s to 6s Gd. The samples of barley were also indifferent i❑ quality, and bold at from 3s 3d to 4s; oats, 2s to 2s 6d; beef, best joints, 61d and 7d; mutton, (small Exmoor), 4d to 41d; best wether, ditto, 51(1 to 61d; pork joints, 51d to 61.4 ; sides of bacon, 61d to 7d free of limbs; eggs, lld per dozen ; butter, is per lb ; geese, 4s 6d to 5s 6d each ; ducks, 3s to 4s per couple ; fowls, 2s 6d to 3s 6d ditto; potatoes, Id per lb. IPSWICH CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 7.—We had but a moderate supply at market to-day ; scarcely any sheep, and very few fat beasts ; a fair sprinkling of stores, and a very good show of fat hogs ; trade exceedingly dull; and fat beef and mutton remain much the same in price. _ _ _ EYE, Nov. 7.—We had rather a thin attendance, in consequence of Diss fair falling on the following day. The prices both of wheat and barley were firm at last week's terms ; but little business done, in the hope of getting better prices at the fair. WOODBRIDGE, Nov. B.—Our farmers are now SO very much engaged in wheat-sowing that the supply of all grain was this day very small. Wheat fully main tained its price. Barley was is per quarter lower. BURY ST. EDMUND'S, Nov. B.—We had a small at tendance at market to-day. Wheat of the best quality realised fully the terms of last week. Barley dull sale, and may be quoted from is to 2s per quartr cheaper. In other grain no alteration worth notice. STOWMAEKET, Nov. 9.—We had a small market to 'ay ; a moderate supply of barley, and a still smaller of wheat, formed nearly the whole supply. The wheat was iaken by our millers at fully late prices, but barley must be called is per quarter lower. But few beans or peas in offer, and prices the same as of late. LLAMERCIIYMEDD, Nov. 9.—At this market on last ednesday, the price of all kinds of grain was on the 1.• cline. Wheat averaged at from 52s to 53s ; barley, • - )9s to 30s ; oats, 16s to 17s per quarter.

DENBIGH FAIR, Nov. 7 AND B.—At the cattle and sheep fair, on Tuesday, the number and quality cx hibited were not equal to the usual average, and the , dealers in attendance being but few, the fair wore a flat appearance. The business transactions that took place were done at some reduction in puce for all de ' , criptions. The same observations will terve for the h , iri , e fair—the show be.ng inferior, and few changed 14144 11l the pig market there was a decided reduction M. LAMARTINE AND MR SMITH O'BRIEN. (From the Freeman's Journal.) I forward herewith a letter from M. Lamartine, in which that illustrious man positively contradicts the statement that If Smith O'Brien had ever demanded assistance from him for Ireland. The sentiments and language of the letter cannot be surpassed. The follow ing is a hasty translation of this interesting document:— " Montreau, Oct. 3, 1848. " Sir,—You inform me that on the trial of Mr. S. O'Brien there was alleged in accusation against him a promise of assistance to make an insurrection in Ireland, which, it was stated, he had obtained from me at a special interview. I had, indeed, the honour of seeing Mr. Smith O'Brien in Paris, but our conversa tion was almost entirely free from politics. There did not pass between us a request or a promise Hof succour of any kind whatever. The falsehood of the reputed conversation is made manifest by the discourse which I delivered at the Hotel de Ville, in reply to the deputation from Ireland. That discourse is an official contradiction of the misrepresentation in question. If, in the meantime, you believe that a more direct denial is necessary, I transmit you such, praying you to make it public. Idu not tiring to my testimony, given before •his scaffold, either the condescension of pity or the partiality of affection. It is a deposition, simple and formal as truth, which I forward to the courts in Dublin on the faith of an cash sworn interiorly according to my conscience and my memory.—Receive, Sir, the assurance of my high consideration.

On this subject, also, the following official information has been received from his Government by the Venezuelan consul in London, d a t e d C araccas, sth of October, namely— ,, That the rebel squadron was hemmed in in the Gulf of Maracaibo, and blockaded by the forces of the Govern ment, under General Justo Brieino; that on the 21st of September they h a d di sem b ar k e d t h e i r so ldiers and marines at Quisiro, on the banks of the Gulf, where they were encountered by the Commandant Baca, and completely ro u t e d, l eav i ng t wo can nons, their baggage, and ammunition, and a number of killed, wounded, a nd prisoners on th e fi e ld. The remainder returned precipi tately to their ships. The rest of the Republic was per fectly tranquil, the elections having taken place in the best order, and it was expected that the author i ty of the Government would soon be re-established in the province of Maracaibo, as it is elsewhere. Paez remained in the Dutch island of Curacoa„ much dispir i ted at the ill suc cess of his attempts at insurrection." FOUR ATTEMPTS AT ROBBERY.—EarIy on Thurs day morning some thieves effected an entrance to the Weekly Chronicle office, Strand, through the back part of the premiser, by availing themselves of a scaffold and ladder in the court close by. They were, however, dis appointed in their expectations, for after forcing open the desks, cupboards, and till, they decamped, their only booty being a few postage stamps. Similar attempts were made the same morning on the three adjoining houses, but fortunately the thieves were foiled in each instance SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. 1 BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—THURSDAY.

A brace of foot races, of 100 yards each, came off on Thursday, on the New North-road, Holloway. The first was between T. Knight and H. Poole, for 11. a. side. It was a very slow race, and Poole was declared the winner by about two yards. Delaney and H. Knight next showed to run their race, Delaney giving four yards start. This was a very hollow affair, Delaney having it all his own way, and was pronounced the winner by three yards.

From intelligence which has been received from Annotta Bay, Jamaica, we learn that the barque Captain Ross, Williamson, loading at Port Maria, for Greenock, was totally destroyed by fire on the night of the 22d of September, and one man and a lad seriously injured. It appears that a few minutes after ten o'clock on Friday night an alarm of fire was heard to proceed from the above vessel, and it was soon seen that the cabin, or somewhere near it below deck was on fire, from the light which showed itself through the cabin window, and soon after a blaze of fire issued through the com panion door which continued with increased violence, taking the main-rigging and mizenmast, which soon fell over the vessel's stern, and then proceeded on to the mainrigging and mainmast, and thence to the forerigging and foremast, both of which fell over her starboard side. The vessel at this time was in one blaze of fire from stem to stern, and con tinued to burn all night until Saturday morning, by which time she bad burnt to the copper s edge. She was then towed down to the western end of the harbour, and left to burn away ; she was blazing, or rather the coals, of which she had about 100 tons on board, until Monday morning ; all that remains to be seen now is her copper to the water's edge, and a heap of burnt coals a n d woo d . Th e fire, it appears, originated from the conduct of the chief mate, who went down the after-deck to steal rum, and had filled two demijohns and a bucket out of the cargo, when the candle fell off the puncheon into the bucket, which immediately blazed and set fire to the sails and other combustible matter. He is dread fully burnt, as also the steward, a black lad whom he compelled to assist him in the robbery., Their lives ar e no t ou t o f d anger, particularly ,the latter, whose depositions have been taken, in which he mentions that when the vessel first took fire the mate would not allow him to give any alarm, or to get upon deck, and the only way he saved himself was by rushing through the cabin window overboard, and swimming to the boat, whence he was brought on shore. The crew have all (except those two) saved their clothing. The master has not saved a stitch of anything; his chronometers, maps, a large amount in money, and some very valuable papers are all gone.—Liverpool lifercltry. Tux WRATRER.—During the last few days we have had alternations of wind, rain, and cold. Wednes day night was a regular soaker, but yesterday morning the house-tops and the streets had a coating of snow and sleet, and the latter having frozen after its fall, the foot paths and roads presented difficulties to biped and qua drupeds, not often seen at so early a period. In m an y parts England, Scotland, and Ireland, there have been heavy falls of snow and severe frosts, but whether this very early setting in of winter predicates a long and severe, or a short and mild one, is a matter best left to the weather prophets, between whom experience will decide.—Liverpool Mercury of Friday. TITS TRANSIT OF MERCURY ON THURSDAY.—The announcement in the newspapers of the approach of the transit of Mercury over the disc of the sun, has excited more interest in the public mind than could well have been expected in a time of such a pressure of momentous events in politics and commerce. The interest taken in astronomy is evidently great, and only waits s favourable opportunity for its full development. The transit began at eleven o'clock, and had not finished at sunset. The day was highly favourable, and, with the help of weak telescopes, the planet was seen distinctly to traverse from the eastern to the western limb of the sun's disc, passing, in its course, one very large dark spot, and another less extensive on the sun's surface. It is a memorable astronomical event, and will serve to give greater correctness to the theory of the motions of the planets. Although another transit of Mercury will take place in 1861, still the uncertainty of the weather may make this the last that will be seen here for many years. —Liverpool Mercury. It is calculated that within the next five years there will be upwards of 10,000 miles of railway open in Great ' Britain.—Woolmer's Exeter Gazette. 111 !! i
