" Do jou knew Whether the poor-rates in the different pa rishes have deceased since the establishment of the Railway ? Yes ,; doubtless it has beat an immense advantage to the pa rishes through whick it passes, and remains to be. " Both as to the employment of the poor, and what they contribute to the rates ?--Yes ; both ways. " You- have spoken of all sorts of agricultural produce, do they also carry manure and lime?--Yes. " For the lands upon the line?—Yes ; it furnishes very great fealty for the transmission of manure. In estimating the Cost of conveying manure upon a turnpike road, I have ever found, under the most favourable circumstances, it could not be done for much less than 6d. a ton per mile; and it is conveyed by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company, to the farm of which I spoke, for Is. 6d. per ton, the distance being nine miles by the turnpike-road. Joseph Pease, Esq., M. P. " You are a Director of the Stockton and Darlington Railway ?—I am. " Are you aware whether, in advertisements for the sale of property between Stockton and Darlington, the approxima tion of the property to the Railway has been mentioned as an inducement for a high price ?—Yes, invariably, both in sales and lettings. " In addition to the increased value of land, do you conceive that is any other benefit resulting to the landowners from the construction of the Railway ;. for instance, materials ? in numerous instances the owners of the adjoining estates have found it greatly to their profit to dispose of timber, stone, brick, earth, and gravel, and other materials which otherwise would have been nearly valueless. " Have the Railway Company contributed to the poor-rates of the parishes through which they pass?--I consider they are assessed at the rack-rental in the parishes. " Can you give the Committee an idea of the total amount of the poor-rates in any one parish?—As the sum is generally agreed upon per mile—in case of no litigation—it will vary according to the distance the railroad extends through each of the parishes. In one particular parish, the Railway Com pany is rated to one-half the amount of the valuation of the Parish. " Are you a landowner on the line ?—I have a farm of 100 acres intersected by the railway. " Where is it intersected ?—The railway passes through the homestead. " Do you find it a balance of convenience ?—lt is princi pally a grazing farm, and the consequence is, that I cannot speak much to the convenience that way. I get more rent. " Are you a commissioner of turnpike-roads in that neigh bourhood ?—Yes, I am. " Are you of opinion the establishment of this Railroad has tended to injure the turnpike-roads, by diminishing the amount of tolls ?—I consider it has been a very important benefit to the southern trusts in the county of Durham •, the principal carriage on them was heavy materials, which being removed, the roads were maintained in better order for less money. " Therefore the road has been improved ?—Yes. " Upon the occasion of your Stockton and Darlington Bill being in Parliament, did the Commissioners of those roads petition against the Bill ?—They were successful, with other parties, in throwing us out once. "In spite of the opinion they expressed, the result has proved they were wrong ?—Decidedly." However much some parties may be inimical to rail roads, the time has now arrived, in consequence of so many having been sanctioned by the Legislature, when it has become only an act of justice to the owners and occupiers of lands where no rail-roads now exist, to give them a chance of competition with the land-owners and occupiers in those counties who have the benefit of those rail-roads ; for how can an agriculturalist who pays 20s. a ton for the carriage of his manure and produce, compete with one who can have the same quantity conveyed for 6d. a ton ?

We last week ventured to give it as our opinion that the spirit and enterprise of the present day would inevitably bring about a railway through this county. This is now a matter of certainty. There will be, however, but two line:, the one along the great Eastern road by Chelmsford, Colchester, and Ipswich, this is called the Eastern Coun ties Railway ; a ud the other, through Stortford, is called the North Eastern road. The grand Northern Railway, which was started by Mr. Gibbs, and. was to have .gone through the Raothings, ammow, and Walden, is likely to come to nothing. Tee inhabitants of Essex are, t hercforc, left in a comparatively easy position to make their choice. Mr. 'Walker's line, through Stortford, will merely skirt one corner of the county, whilst the Eastern Counties will run through its centre. The traffic upon the latter is so great, and the number of travellers so large, that success must attend this undertaking. 'We therefore look upon it as a most advantageous investment for the capitalist. One of the most singular advantages of the Eastern line, is that a vast and populous extent of country will be brought within its range at a very little expense. Its whole course is so level that there will not be occasion for a single tunnel. Of course the less an undertaking costs, the less are its out goings, and the greater its profits. We are quite aware that it is regarded with jealousy by some of our agricultu rists. Why, we are at a loss to divine. Let them recol lect it is now morally certain that all the more remote parts of the kingdom will have the benefit of railways. Will it not then be fatal to the interests of our Essex farmer?, should they not possess for their produce equal advantages. It must be recollected that the question is not whether rail ways will or will not be beneficial to the country generally, but it is whether Essex can afford to do without what all the other counties will possess y It might or might not be right for them to have their cattle and corn thus conveyed to London, if there were no project in favour of others on foot ; but as not :only one, but very many companies are in course of formation, our readers will at once see why we would recommend their giving immediate sanction and support to the Eastern Counties' Company.—Colehester Gazette. x .r ..a ...IL • TrIE SUN, LONDON, MON .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Whilst the Glerg? and Aristocracy are directing their fiercest aefaults against the Liberal party, it is grati fying, toind that the spirit of the nionventeitt is animating with its wonted fire the great mass of our countrymen, and daily pervading more and more all our institutions. The weapons of sophistry and ridicule are often dangerous in the hands of cunning or wicked men, but they never yet effectively harmed a cause cased in the armour of truth and such a cause is the people's. But yesterday, and the working class of the nation was looked on with contempt, and put in the back ground ! Beings, destitute of talents manual or mental, had the impudence to sneer at those, without whose honest assistance they could neither be clothed or fed ! Let me ask the drones that buzz about the precincts of the Court, whether they are still obstinate in denying that any change has taken place of late? Do they see no difference now Who now occupy the fore most part of the national canvass ? Who now are con sulted and looked up to, feared and flattered ? Who,. at length, have vindicated their own rights, and read a lesson to Monarchs and their minions, which will be re membered as long as civilized man himself exists? THE PEOPLE—the enlightened, laborious, and virtuous portion of the community. Compare the gaudy trappings and gingerbread gewgaws that surround Princes with the beautiful, though unadorned, majesty which encircles the PEOPLE. They cannot be mentioned in the same breath, for their natures are essentially dissimilar. The power of the one is built upon a purely artificial basis, whilst that of the other has its roots in human nature. As we become more enlightened, the few will lose, and the many will acquire, strength ; bound up as it were into one body of ties of unspeakable interest, they will learn to value and love one another, and to spurn the apple of discord, however plausibly presented, or however tempting to the eye. The strides that freedom has made within the last few years are wonderful, when you think of the difficulties it has had to encountei% They are, indeed, the effect, im mediately, of that glorious remodelling of our Constitution, the exclusive honour of which belongs to the present gene ration of Englishmen. But, let it never be forgotten that the immortal Reform Bill itself was the-fruit of the tree Of knowledge. It was enough, once upon a time, to tell the people they were free—and the dull lie was believed.' Such was the gross general ignorance, and such were the arts employed, that the masses suffered themselves to be gulled to any extent. They never, for an instant, thought of reasoning on the matter, but innocently took it for granted that change meant revolution, and that a revolu tion was only a wholesale apology for cutting one another's throats ! Men, with minds full of dark designs, pointed to France in triumphant confirmation of these savage notions, and contrasted the peace and happiness at home with the blood and misery abroad. Events that con veyed a great moral lesson were lost upon our entrapped countrymen, and the trade of political pickpockets and gull catchers thrived a ntervcilk. Gradually, however, did eyes begin to open, and see things as they really were ; pro fessions were weighed and found wanting ; the tide of common-sense rolled more steadily in, and, the enfeebled barriers of prejudice and bigotry washed away—thank Heaven ! "on such a full sea, are we now afloat!" We now demand civil and religious liberty disenthralled, and disentangled from all devilish cheats and dark intrigues. We exact the privilege of doing what we please, pro vided we mean honestly. We assert that this beautiful country belongs to the PEOPLE, and that the rights and property of its industrious, hard-working, inhabitants, shall no longer be bandied from one sluggard to another, by bits of parchment or bags of gold. The diffusion of knowledge, so much despised and so fa cetiously commented on, has produced its effects somewhat sooner than was expected. The joke has turned most un• mercifully against our well-informed Gentlemen ! But they must endure what they cannot remedy, and consent to see Penny Magazines peacefully sowing the seeds of de struction—yes! of destruction ; in other words, the utter subversion of all that can shackle or blind the understanding of the noble PEOPLE OF ENGLAND. MI LO. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. (SCOTLAND.) KILMARNOCK.—On Tuesday, the election of Councillors in Kilmarnock, ended in the return of five gentlemen, all decidedly Liberal in their opinions. AIRDRIE.—The Liberals have triumphed once more in Airdrie. The Tories, for a long time past, had been pre paring for the struggle, and left no stone unturned to ac complish their purpose ; but all would not do. RENFREW.—Here the Tories were completely defeated. CAMPBELTON.—The result of our election to-day has been glorious for the Liberals. We have carried all our friends by a very great majority. IRVINE.--Hugh Watt, merchant (re-elected), 81 votes ; Dr. W. W. Gray, 79 ; J. A. Rankine, writer (re-elected) , 68 ; John Smith, agent, 66 ; John Bruce, flesher, 64 ; William Wilkie, cloth-merchant, 63. All hers are Liberal, and five out of the six are most decidedly so. FIFTH WARD.—Another election for one Councillor takes place in this Ward on Monday. It excites immense interest. The Tories have set up the cry of the Church in Danger, and many well-meaning Liberals do not perceive that it is a mere piece of strategy, a hypocritical pretence to obtain a civic victory, which those who use it will laugh ' "-- in their sleeves at the gulls on whom it may successfif operate.—Scats limes. The Earl and Countess of Mulgrave arrived at the Viceregal Lodge, Phoenix Park, on Monday evening, from their northern tour. We regret that the Countess felt in disposed as she passed through Newry.—Dublin Paper. The, Duke and Duchess of Bedford and Lady Georgiana Russell have arrived at Woburn Abbey, from the Highlands. On the 28th ult. Viscount Arbuthnot was re-elected Lord Rector of the University and King's College or Aberdeen ; and the following g entlemen were re-appoint ed ass essors :—.Tames Urquhart, Esq , of Me'drum ; Charles Bannerman, Esq., of Crimmongate ; John Garioch, Esq., of Heathcot ; and Theodore Gordon, Esq., of Overball. DEATH OF SI lt DAVID BARRY.—It is with much regret that we have to announce the sudden decease of. this gentleman, which took place on the morning of the sth, at his house in Welbeck-street. S:r David was seized on Wednesday about one o'clock, when walking in the Hay market, with extreme faintness, and was carried into a shop. Shortly afterwards he was taken home in a coach. A few minutes past one in the morning he uttered an exclamatien -- EIGN GRAIN MONEY-MARKET.-SAT URBAX 'KET. lity at STATE OF TRADE. Some remarks which have fallen within this day or two from persons who are admitted occasionally to the confi dence of the,Bank Directors, and who are' consult'ed also at unfrequently on various matters difficult of dec ision, h d to the belief that the hostility entertained to. have -int-stock banks of issue in thl country is utt wards the la- . • The directors will not, it is: dergoing some a.. now said, carry ther rule rigorously into execution against those banks have a large paid-up capital, and con duct their affair' ptherwis e upon a prudent system ; but ettpectally if ‘ known to launch be t no accommodation, whatever the banks of small CI, yond their means, e:taT, e which is interesting to derive from a long list of security they may be presume , : is _much more so in the responsible shareholders. The staj ect ' g . r, -at manufacturing , are more or enough here among monied men, places concerned, in the heart of the .. nreparecl districts, and most of the letters from tiler,' less occupied with it. From the tenour of tt2esc. it may b 6 collected, that they are as yet far from being t o maintain an open contest with the Bank of ia.witinab/e though the; may contrive so far to become forn;i3 as to make it ;pale for their grent opponent nur: to press matters to exttTmity. The highest subscribed pltal in any of the count:7 joint-stock banks of issi.se does not, we believe, exceed ‘2,:.100,000/o with a paid-up capital of 500,00 0 /., and , ge nerally • speaking, the rule with them is, not to call for more than 6 per cent. of addi tional capital in any one year, fly which rule they are bound, and cannot consequently extend their means very rapidly. But for one bank of so large a capital as that above stated there are many which do not possess a capital of a quarter that amount, and as they frequently extend into branches in various parts of the country, i•lie liabilities ani consequent danger of the parent bank are much in creased. One bank is mentioned in a letter which we have seen, which with a capital of 600,000/., or thereabouts, has nearly forty branches, in Bristol, Birmingham, Liverrool, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, and other places. The shares in these banks are frequently as low as 101, and even 51. each, which enables a number of persons of small property to become subscribers, which lessens the aecurity of the public, and makes them besides a medium for speculation and petty gambling. Supposing only 20,0001. paid daily by each of these branches, which is a very small amount of transactions, that would go considerahiy beyond their paid-up capital. It becomes, therefore, the necessary practice in banks cf that description to offer the bills of one day for dis count on the next, to draw bills ort houses of agency es tablished in London for the purpose, z. , nd finally, to make up what further deficiency there may be by an issue of notes. Other banks have been mentioned, which to avoid offence, We do not choose to particularize, of which neither the amount of subscribed or paid-up capital is known, ex cept to the conductors, and which carry on, nevertheless,, extensive business, and have numerous branches. For any thing the public may know of the matter, there exists no capital at all. Now, there can be no possible objection in any quarter to having such banks as these placed under the ban and interdict of the Bank of England, but the distinc -a between these and the banks of a solid character is so open, that there is no difficulty in d,rawing the broad line betweei. them. To make a ground of hostility from notes, which is found in many cases to be viT more of obtaining local impor the mere issue o: reso rted to with the imetu :al utility, and to an extent bear tance than for any the capital, is unworthy of ing a very sma ll p ro p ortion ta kof England. It may be a a great Corporation like the Bah _ added, perhaps , as a fair constructio. of what has been al lowed to get abroad on the subject, that. this is a conclusion to which the directors hare themselves recently come. — Morning . El per. • • flunerasrmo.—Thei-o was a good deal of business doing on Tuesday last, but chiefly in fancy coloured kerseyineres, and other pantaloon stuffs. BRADFORD.—Business continues z=teady in the piece market, and goods are disposed of as rapidly as they can be manufac tured ; indeed the merchants have great difficulty in keeping a::v thing like a stock in their warehouses ; and from present appearances there is every prospect of the present favourable state of trade co ntinuing._ There appears no alteration in the yarn market tom'-day The demand continues much the same as for the last f4w weeks, and the prices are firm. There has been a very fair demand in the wool market during the week, with more inquiry for wethers and wether matchings than for hogs. We are not aware of any alteration in price. HALIFAX. —There has been no. material alteration in the state of this market to-day (Saturday), from what it has been during the last two or three weeks. The demand for yarns and manufactured goods still continues exceedingly active, and there is a better and more steady business being tranziseted at present than has been known during the last two years. ROCHDALE.—We had a better Flannel Market to-day (Monday) than ever ; there was a general demand for alt kinds of goods ; all sorts of flannels sold rapidly. The buyers sesmed determined to have them. All the flannels in the market were bought up very early, also greys and dyed goods even till it came to a scouring cloth. Many buyers did not get as many as they wished. Prices were a shade higher this week, and arc likely to get up. In the wool market there ap peared to be a fair den:nicl for Brokes and Noiles ; prices same as last week. LANCASHIRE.—SiIk weavin gso me sorts has, within the ,^f last few days, become rather slack ; manufacturers th complain it of the rise in the raw material ;i n som' qualities ey say weavers are be is 15 per cent. higher.

The Prince Frederick was to have sailed from Goole on Monday evening, but was prevented from dour* so by the fog prevailing , and b y the south-east wind which blew strong. She sailed, however, on Tuesday morning, and by Wednesday morning she had got off the Suffolk coast, when, owing to the fog and the violence of the wind, as is supposed, she went on the Cor ton Sands, about five miles from Yarmouth and three from Lowestoffe, and soon went down. The engine -man, ham Gomersall ; the stewardess, Mrs. Holloway ; and a • gentleman from York, name u nknown, g oin g as pas your); s enger, woo drowned. The rest' of the crew escaped to land, and tve hear that there were no more passengers. The vessel had on hoard a ve.7 vuluable cargo, about seventy of which thirty tons were tons of manufactured goods, Manchester goods, and the icst chiefly from - the West . Riding of Yorkshire ; and if is f e a:ed that little or nothing •• will be saved.—Leeds Mercury. ACCIDENTAL ENTOMBMEN T.--"P n the MOM of Thursday the B th u'tin o. part of tho roof of the c oal-works belonging to the D uke de Coigny, at Kit grammie, near the village of D aill y , Ayrshire, set down, -and before the men could ge t clear of the workings, John Brown a native of Mid Lothian, about 60 years of age, was intercepted in his egress, and consequently confine in this subterraneous abode until Saturday last, the 31st, at four in the morning, when be was restored again to light and liberty, being thus twenty-three days without one mor sel of food ! When entombed be had with him a small portion of tobacco, sufficient for one driy's c onsumption, and two small flasks of • lamp oil. Some of the hitter he a ttempted •to swallow, but was unable t o do so, told the. only substance he took besides tobacco, during the IN.bnin period of his' confinement, was a strong chalyheate water within the range of his prison, and which he declared was " very bad indeed." His mind remained quite composed, and continues very distinct—he never despaired of ulti mately escaping,' and his great anxiety, he says, was for ;he fate of Thomas Wason, the person with whom he had for m, re than two years resided, whom he supposed bad. perished i:hen the accident occurred, leaving a wife and helpless family. He calculated time by the noise made by the men at their :tated periods of work. For the first acrd second week he - :noved about his gloomy cell, an area of thirty yards, seekit4; every avenue of hope ; tut latterly he became so weak as to be unable to reach his only but disagreeable beveri;ge, the water. The feeling of hunger left him alien! the second day, which may be attributed, in some Areasure,. to the found •he a stringent quality of the water. Whe,-., was extended on the ground, and lying on his breast ; life nearly extinct, his extremities cold, his voice reduced almost to a iri.i.isper, or childish treble, and his emaciation so great. as to make ;,.!'i a complete personification of the Anatomic Vivante. his dai unshaven beard, sunken features, and glistening eye, had give him an unc,,irthly appearance. Generally, great danger arises f:9ln imprudently giving food too freely to persons who ha ve suffeaad from a,!-;stine fi nce, b but in Brown's case his brother labourers cautiously ist7luri cated his parched mou th with butter, then nye milk, arrow-root, and sherry, in small spoonfuls, at regular inter vals—milk being the first thing he asked for when ho was discovered. His pulse is regular and strong, and his tong me clean and moist ; indeed, there is every hope of his ultimate' restoration to health, should he receive sufficient nourish ment in the same cautious way.. When Dr. Hill, the ter - ter of the parish, visited him, he put out his hand to the. R.6v. Doctor, a nd asked him to retu rn thanks to God for his deliverance.

BURGLARY AT ALTHORP.—During the night of Monday last the mansion of Earl Spencer was broken into by thieves. They obtained an entrance by forcing open the new library window, from which room they took a valuable time-piece, the case of which was found the fol lowing day in the park. Several books were removed from the shelves, but not a single volUme was taken away. The thieves must have severely cut themselves in gaining ad mittance, as a -number of blood stains were discovered on the books removed. It is supposed that the depredators imagined that, having effected an entrance into the library, they should obtain a range of the whole house, but in this they were disappointed. Some linen belonging to the ser vants, which had been left in the .drying-ground, was also taken away. As there is a watchman constantly on the premises, it is supposed they were disturbed, or property to a larger amount would have been stolen. We understand that a clue has been discovered, which will in all proba bility lead to the apprehension of the offenders.—Yorth anipton Herald. THE O'CONNELL ANNUITY.—At a meeting on Friday it was stated by the Chairman, " that the sum of money contributed for the purpose of defraying the ex penses of the Dublin election commission, amounting to 2,3001., was now utterly exhausted by the expenses of this contest with the Tory candidates. Mr. O'Connell had paid 900/. in London out of his own private purse for the same object, and he had authorized him (Mr. Finn) to state, that he will not call on the citizens of Dublin for the purpose of carrying on the commission, but pay all out of his own pocket. The weekly expenses of the commis sion were hitherto very enormous, amounting to 601. a week, and now that the sitting members were on their defence, they would be considerably increased.—Dublin Evening Post. GRAND OPERA AT PARIS.—A Mutante has appeared at this theatre, who promises, if there be any forming an opinion from ,the brilliant success of a first at tempt, to be one of the most distinguished ornaments of this theatre, rich as it is in talent. The character chosen by Mdlle. Flccheux (such is the name of this young lady) for her appearance was Alice, in Robert le Diable, a part in which it will be remembered that Mdlle. Falcon first introduced herself to the favourable notice of the public. Her acting, though not without a certain grace, was wholly secondary to her singing, which displayed throughout powers of the first order, uniting taste, volume, and flexibi lity, to an extent rarely indeed found in a debutante. At the close of the opera the audience, with one voice, de manded her re-appearance: M. Bordogni , one of the ablest vocal instructors in Europe, has the credit of having formed the style of this young lady. DEATH OF MR. BEARDSWORTH.—Mr. Beards worth, of Birmingham, the proprietor of the winner of the St. Leger, Birmingham, and several other first-rate horses, died at Birmingham last week, after a short illness. His in disposition is said to have been aggravated by an extent Navin;; been put into his premises for post-horse duty, amounting to 7,0001. All his property will be brought to the hammer, but it is expected more than 20s. in the pound will be realized. He has left two unmarried daughters, and a third is married to a gentleman named Bird. Mr. Beards worth had a great many cups, which he won during his turf Career. He was of humble IMPRISONMENT FOR MINISTER'S STIPEND. — Thomas Henderson, 84, Canongate, Edinburgh, an old sol dier, and occupying a house rented at the small sum of 31., was imprisoned in Canongate Jail, for eight shillings andjburpenee of minister's stipend and poor's money, and expenses. This act of Christian benevolence took place on Bth October last ; and the situation of this poor man having been repre sented to the committee appointed to apply the surplus funds of the O'Connell Festival, they at once ordered pay ment of this cruel exaction, and Henderson was liberated on the 17th ult., having been nine days in confinement. Henderson had been regularly relieved of this exaction for the last nine years ; but he had this year omitted to go through the form of presenting a petition to the humane manager of the district. BELFAST :AND LISURN RAILWAY.—It will be seen that this important undertaking is about to be pro ceeded with in good earnest. RAILWAYS.—The LiVerpool and Manchester rail way, which is about 31 miles in length, has 20 miles 15 chains level, or equivalent to level, 6 miles and a-half rising 6 feet per mile, 3 miles rising 55 feet in a mile, and 1 mile 10 chains rising 110 feet per mile ; the last named gradient occurs in the tunnel at Liverpool.. The Leeds and Selby line, which has been opened about twelve months, has 9 miles lev e l, 2 m il es 24 c h a i n s rising from 26 to 30 feet per mile, and 18 m il es 21 c h a i ns rising from 34 to 40 feet in a mile. The Dublin and Kingstown railway has 1 mile 16 chains level, 2 miles 41 chains rising from 171 to 21 feet per mile, and 4 miles 16 chains rising from 30 to 35 feet per mile. The Preston and Wigan railway„ which is now iri course of formation, has 2 miles and a quarter rising 8 feet in a mile, 9 miles and a quarter rising about 13 feet per mile, and nearly 4 miles rising 44 and 46 feet per mile. The grand junction line, which extends from the Birming ham railway to Warrington, has 13 miles 24 chains level, or equivalent to level, 19 miles 31 chains rising from 5 . to 10 feet per mile, 27 miles 16 chains rising from 10 to 16 feet in a mile, 2 miles 50 chains rising 17 feet per mile, 11 miles 46 chains rising 22 feet per mile. The Warrington and Newton railway, which connects the grand junction with the Liverpool and Manchester railway, has 3 miles 1 chain level, or equivalent to level, and 2 miles and a half rising from 5 to 8 feet per mile. On Thursday, a gentleman, named Robinson, Un dertook, for a wager of five hundred pounds, to row from London bridge to Erith mid back. a distance of about forty miles, in five hours and a half. He also took the odds to a large amount that he would finish the match in five hours. He started at seventeen minutes past six in the morning, and reached Erith in two hours, twenty-four minutes, and thirty seconds, notwithstanding the wind was rather fresh against him. On return he encountered much danger from the swell by the various ,steamers, but he ultimately accom plished his task in fifteen minutes thirty seconds under the five hours, thus winning all his bets. He rowed throughout in the most spirited manner, and -was heartily cheered on his arrival by a number of gentlemen who had accompanied him in a steam-boat, He afterwards rowed up to West minster-bridge, to determine a bye bet, Nearly 2,000/. was won and lost by the 'Mitch. , F FOr The highest quotation of white wheat of the first cl._ Hamburg is 74 r►xdollars current the last, which answers 235. 10d. the quarter, and the highest quotation of red wheat of the first qual►ty is 70 rixd3llars current the last, which answtt ttl g2s. 81 the quarter ; and therefore the mean price at Hamburg of w hit e and red wheat together is 235. 3d. the quft4r.'r, Tl 4: g ki 9 titi o n o f w .'jte wheat of the first quality in London is 4A tIVO quarteii:,, and the 17ighot quotation of red wheat of the first quitlitit the' eitiarial and therefore the mean price in London of' whlt4 red liheg tither is 435. the quarter.
