NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MONEY FOR TEE FLYING FlSlL—Messrs. Chard given notice to the officers and company of her Majesty's ship Flying Fish, H. J. Robins, Esq., lieute nant in command, that an account of the bounty money on the tonnage of a slave felucca, name unknown, de stroyed on the 17th of April,:lB46, and also while under the command of Commander P. 11. Dyke, Esq., of the bounty money on the tonnage and of the sale proceeds of the Jupiter brig slave-schooner, captured on March 18, 1847, will be dposited in the registry of the High Court of Admiralty, or on before the 25th day of De cember next. PRO3IOTIONS. Clerk—Henry D. Collins (139), who has been act ing paymaster and purser of the Vixen steam-sloop, on the West India station, the fourteenth in seniority on the list, an officer who volunteered to serve in the boats at Nicaragua, in the affair for which his commander was promoted, and the commander of the expedition was made a C. 8., has been promoted to the rank of pay master and purser. Clerk—Thomas C. J. Dryden (1839), the thirteenth in seniority on the list, clerk in charge of the Ardent steam-vessel, in the Mediterranean, has been promoted to the rank of paymaster and purser. The promotion of the above officers will give satisfac tion even among their own class. APPOINTMENTS. Clerk—ll. C. Pool, to the Royal Sovereign, yacht, at Pembroke. Midshipmen—Edwin Field, to the Orestes, at Spit head; C. J. Rowley, to the St. Vincent, 120, at Spit he d; S. F. Jeayes, to the Plumper, screw-schooner, at r'Ort smoutb. The squadron under Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, was expected to sail to-day, there having been a fine breeze from the north all day. At half-past nine, A.M., the squadron got up topgallant masts, and crossed topgallant and royal yards, but shortly afterwards made all snug again. When the move was first made every one thought the ships were about to start, and numbers planted themselves in the most convenient . places to observe the manoeuvres, but were doom ed to disappoint ment. It is understood at present they will sail to morrow. The alarming illness of Captain S. C. Dacres, of the flag-ship, is said to be in some part the cause of the squadron not proceeding. The Plumper, 12, Commander Nolloth, and the Reynard, 12, Com mander Cracroft, sorew-schooners, have been placed under the orders of Sir C. Napier, who will send the m to Spithead after he has tried them, Th e Reynard went to Spithead, on Thursday, to try her engines and speed. The engines worked admirably, and her speed was about the same as her last trial, 7 knots 1-10th, with 58 revolutions, with a multiple of two, fan revolutions 116. The mean speed from eight trials along the measured mile was 7 knots, steam pres sure 12 5, drawing aft 12 feet inches, forward 11 feet. Her fan is 8 feet 6 in. in di ame t er , s i x i nc h es l ess than her sister vessel, the Plumper, at a pitch of 9 feet, while the pitch of the Plumper screw is only 6 feet. The trial altogether was most satisfactory, but her speed is not quite equal to the Plumper. It should be stated, how ver, that the Plumper was then comparatively light, while the Reynard has all her weights on board. These vessels have, so far as they have been tried, in contestably proved their superiority over the 16-gun brigs, and will, doubtless, supersede the building of any more of this class. These vessels are armed with 10 32-pounders, of 25 cwt. each, and 2 pivot-guns, of 56 ewt. each; they stow three months' provisions, and about 20 days' coal. The Plumper has more depth in hold, and has much more facilities for stowage than the Rey nard, which, as we have before stated, is only a pirated copy and specimen of navy-office smartness, and by an error, the occurrence of which is much to be regretted, the Plumper's masts are two feet shorter than the Rey nerd's. The Victory, flag-ship of the Commander. in-Chief at Portsmouth, Captain F. P. Blackwood, has been made snug for the winter months, her topgallant masts are got on deck, and in lieu has shipped pole flag-staves ; her topmasts are struck, and her fore and main yards lowered. The Castor, 36, will be completed at Chatham, and ready for the pendant by the end of next week. The SapphO, 14, has been brought alongside the jetty, at Portsmouth, to be further fitted in her rigging. The Nautilus transport, from the Falkland Islands, has been ordered to Woolwich. The Encounter, screw•ship, went out from Portsmouth Harbour yesterday, to try her speed, under command of Commander Stevens, of the Blenheim. She had all her guns, shot, and stores on board, and drew about 12 feet 1 inch 'aft, 11 feet 4 forward. It is considered that her crew and other weight to be put on board, when fitted for service,- would be from 60 to 70 tons more, which would probably bring her four or five inches deeper in the water. A great number of officers and gentlemen went out in her, and Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott, C. 8., followed her out, and went on board her in Stokes Bay. Her engines worked moat splendidly. She made, we understand, 74 to 75 revolutions: the last iirne she was tried, when light, she made, we believe, 78. Her mean speed yesterday was 9 knots 3- 10ths, on five trials along the measured mile. She returned into har bour at three o'clock. We understand she will be a captain% command, instead of a commander's, as at first intended. The Driver steara-sloop, Commander Johnson, sailed from Portsmouth .yesterday morning, for Portland, with 68 convicts, whd are to work on the breaklatcr at that The llosaman steam-sloop, Commander Foote,. will bo completed by the dockyard at Chatham, on Saturday and. is expected to leave the port early next wet*, for Devonport, whence sbe prouecds to INraples, after she-has been paid advance. Mr. Lang, master shipwright at Woolwich Dockyard, hag been ordered to join Mr. Watts, Assistant-Surveyor of the Navy, and, in conjunction with the officers of Chatham Dockyard, to assist in the general nirvky of the Vernon, 50, when she i 3 ready, this ship having been built by Mr. Lang.

WOOLWICH, Nov. 24.—The members of th e D t „, l , yard Committee of Revision have proceeded to Deetin dockyard to-day to investigate the working satZlizt rants and other matters at that naval depOt. Mr. Voules, superintendent of convicts, has been e n ., gaged within the last few days in looking for an eligible situation on which to erect a prison for the convicts employed in the dockyard, it having been resolved to have them confined on shore and detached from the dockyard during the night. Mr. Johnson, engineer of the Prometheus steam vessel, has suggested a very simple means of extin guishing fires on board ships or war-steamers, whether arising from spontaneous combustion or any other cause, which he proposes should be effected by having one of Kingston's valves inserted in the bottom of the vessel with a connecting rod or key in the captain's cabin, or other convenient place, under his entire control. By that means, on an alarm of fire being given, the captain could admit a sufficient quantity of water to extinguish the fire, without having to remove the cargo or stores, and save the bottom of the vessel from being charred, which is often the case when fires take place, and a diffi culty experienced to ascertain the exact spot where it is burning. Mr. Kingston's valves are used in her Ma jesty's steamers for supplying water to the boilers, and are opened and shut with the slightest pressure. Prince Metternich, .who is residing with his family in Brighton, on hearing of the wreck of the two German emigrant ships on the Goodwin Sands, immediately dis. patched his son, Prince Richard Metternich, and Baron Hugel, from Brighton, with a sum of money for the re lief of the sufferers, and commissioned his son to inform them that he would assist them further by every means in his power. We find in Tuesday's papers an adver tisement, with the signatures of Prince Richard Met ternich and Baron C. Hugel, expressive of their thanks, in the name of 160 of their German conntrymen, to the n in e h as abitanta of Ramsgate, for the hospitality and kind ness them in their distress.—Brighton Gazette.

That renowned and fertile country—the mother of Grecian art and of European civilization—that country of the Pharaohs which now, by the wonderful aid of steam, communicates in a time incredibly short with tho coasts of Syria, Caramania, Anatolia, and the Black Sea, with Greece, with Italy, an 1 the northern coasts of Africa. with the coasts of Ar.lbia, wit'i the gulfs of Persia and Bengal, with Sumatra, Java, nay even with distant China, and sealed, f all' Japan, can never be otherwise than an object of interest and solicitude to the merchants, the traders, and the politicians of Great Britain. A coun try so rich in natural productions, so blessed by natural site, must in any position of political circumstances force itself on the attention of a nation such as England. Pro ducing corn, rice, cotton, beans, spices, precious gums, flax, gold dust, ivory, and a third of the drugs to be found in the materia medice of this drug-consuming country— questions of commerce alone would commend such a country to any sensible Englishman's favourable atten tion, if its unrivalled position, with the Red Sea at its head, the Indian Ocean behind it, the Mediterranean in front, and the matchless Nile in its centre, did not ab solutely force the notice of Egypt upon the considera tion of the statesman and the politician. The import ance of this land of the Ptolemies to England, great in every commercial and general political aspect, becomes enhanced, nay, absolutely gigantic and colossal, when viewed in subservience to our political and commercial correspondence with India. From the wonderful revo lutions recently wrought by rail and steam, the commu nication by Egypt becomes now more than ever a necessary link in the chain of connexion with our Indian empire, and there is not a civilian of any of the presidencies, nor a soldier of the Bengal, Madras, or Bombay armies, nor any one of their relatives or rulero f, f i a na du e o de eu chief try ieift whic hghaveve r u m nu must a i rheaaandvgye Changes sc y ha a f r n e e w gue u w dw_ e i k it su s connexions in England, wh o are not i nterested i n the conditio_n i c former hang e this age of change, rife in stand-still, hitherto unchange able Egypt. The reader is well aware that that re markable man, born 80 years ago, the son of a female slave at Kanala, in Macedonia, whose earliest life was spent in the humblest pursuits of a small commerce in tobacco—who in 1800 was appointed a pacha of two tails in Egypt—who then for the first time learned to read and w rite—and who six years afterwards, namely, in 1806, became governor of the country with whose fate his name has been since indissolubly bound up—the reader, we say, is aware that Mahommed Ali, full of years I and of infirmities, some time since retired from the fatigues of his Government, and that in consequence the cares of empire devolved on his second son, Ibrahim Pacha, the successful commander in the expedition against the Wachabees, and who visited England some three or four years ago. From some of the latest accounts it would appear that this son Ibrahim—the actual ruler of Egypt —whom the old man had looked upon as his successor, had been confined to his bed for more than three weeks, without hope of recovery—that no person was allowed to go near him—and that as a last resource he was to be conveyed to the milder climate of Upper Egypt. Other accounts intimate the impossibility of the patient's re covery ; while later and probably more authentic letters speak of his death as an event which might be instantly looked for, if, indeed, it had not already taken place. Under these circumstances Abbas Pacha would undoubtedly succeed to the Government of Egypt. But that personage had left Suez for the port of Jedda at the end of October, on a pilgrimage to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, on board the company's steamer, the Feroze. It is, however, a circumstance of fortunate augury that, ere he assumes the reigns of power, his Highness will have an opportunity of seeing and learning, on board a company's vessel, of how much importance it is to the civilization and commerce of the world, as well as to the prosperty of Egypt, over which he is destined to rule as Viceroy, that all those facilities accorded long ago by Mahommed Ali should to continued—indeed augmented and increased. Such en influence is not merely necessary to Eng land, in order to give us the master-key overland to our own possessions, but it is also necessary to the interests of European trade—to the prosperity of Egypt itself—to the integrity of the Ottoman empire— to the security of Pmeie—and to the good government of the provinces washed by the waters of the " dark rolling" Danube. Such an influence is necessary, to Egypt herself, ler if anything, after thirty centuries of slavery, can reclaim a land remarkable for its teeming fertility, unrivalled climate, and rich natural productions, from misery and slavery, it will bo its now becoming— we will not say continuing, for the passenger trade is but commencing—the high road from England and Europe to the distant east. If this truth was teat years ago by Mahommed Ali himself, a man born in indigence, nurtured in adversity, and who ruled Egypt more as a proprietor seeking a profit, than a viceroy looking to the happiness and prosperity of his subjects, how much more keenly ought it to be felt and acknowledged by Abbas Pacha, a man of our own time and epoch, who has had advantages of education, culture, and observa tion, denied to either Mahommed Ali or Ibrahim Pacha, his predecessors. Every traveller who has visited Egypt during the last twenty years concurs in stating, that, notwithstanding the natural advantages of the climate and country, nothing can equal the misery and wretch edness of the inhabitants. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied by the most prejudiced of these travellers that Mahommed Ali was in his way, and after his own fashion, a con,ich!rablo reformer. That he created an army and a navy—that he introduced telegraphs— that he commenced and extended public works —as, for example, the canal from Alexandria to Cairo—that . he introduced manufactories of sager, of saltpetre, and of gunpowder—that he established cannon foun dries and excavated docks—that he improved roadsteads and harbours—cannot by friend or foe be gainsaid. But, on the other hand, it is rqually clear and incontestable that the Fe'labs were ground down by a severe and grinding taxation, and that the kingdom was in a mea sure contiseat, d to the personal and pccuniary profit of the money-loving end money-making Viceroy. By such means it was that Mahon - meet Ali, accumulated immense treasures, and realised immense receipts—receipts a hich rendered him a wealthy and prosperous Pasha. But, notwithstanding these acquisitions, he must ever be considered by the historian and by posterity as rather a 1 great in-I-chant and suece , sful commercial speculator, 1 than as a gre-;t r,ler. Under his mercantile away, Egypt became an immense graiary and a huge fabric, in which a species of imperial merchant, manufacturer, and agriculturist, enriched himself at the expence of the country, whose inhabitants he over-taxed, and whose soil he over-farmed, alreost to exhaustion. In the present condition of Europe and of the Eatt, it becomes the duty of a foreign Minister of Great Britain—instead of wasting his time in a wordy war with Sotomayor, or in a petty personal struggle with Narvaez —to turn his eyes towards Egypt—nearer to us now than Vienna was half a century ago—and to seek to maintain in that country , the necessary and ~holamme preponderance and protec tion of Great Britain. To other great Powers an influence in Egypt may be useful—to us in England it is indispensa ble; and the Minister who, in the present conjuncture of Continental politics, loses his hold on Egypt, deserves impeachment in the face of the Parliament and people of England. In the E :at there is always a disposition to submit to an appearance of strength—and to be coun selled by anything savouring of the prestige of power. As it is the nature of all power to assert and vindicate itself, so never was the occasion fairer or more fitting for Great Britain than at this moment. Let Abbas Pacha be made unmistakeably to understand our fixed will—and our earnest wishes—as a question that con cerns his own independent life and existence—and the intrigues of Russia in Wallachia, Bulgaria, Servia, and Persia, and her attempts at undue influence in Constan tinople may be disregarded and scorned. We have ten dered fair counsel to the Foreign Secretary. But that Noble Viscount sometimes allows wise words to sleep in his ear, and listens only to the small suggestions of a wrathful vanity.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, i'Ven 24. IN RE PARR, AN INFANT. • Mr. PRENTICE applied to the Court for an enlarge ment of a rule calling on Mrs. Elizabeth Parr to show cause why she refused to give to hrr husband, Mr. Henry Parr, the possession of a male child, aged three years. It appeared that Mr. Parr had obtained a habeas corpus to bring up the child. The child was accordingly brought berore Mr. Justice Patteson in the Bail Court. He (Idr. Prentice) now appeared to show cause, upon affidavits of Mrs. Parr, Mr. White, and several others, why she refused to render up the child to her husband. The affidavits stated that the parties had been married several years, and that Mr. Parr had treated her with the greatest cruelty, and had frequently used vio lence towards her ; so much so that she was obliged for her protection to leave him, and to place herself under the guardianship of her mother. By the mediation of parties and his entreaties they were again brought together, but she found it impossible from his sonduct to live with him, and she again went to her mother. The affidavits referred to other acts of cruelty. The Learned Counsel alleged various reasons why his application should be granted. Mr. Parr said he was prepared to contradict by affi. davits the charges made against him. The COURT said they would consult Mr. Justice Pat. teson, and take the matter again to-morrow. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Frederick and Benjamin Lintott, brothers, were brought up for final examination, upon the charge of having broken into and entered the dwelling-house of Messrs. Rigby, in Gracechurch-street, with intent to steal. The premises of the prosecutors aro so situated that part of the warehouse is over a butcher's shop, and pro perty having been missed several times, one of the shop men and Davis, an active City officer, concealed them selves in the place upon the watch. Between ten and eleven, on the night of the 14th instant, they observed that a board was removed from the floor over the but cher's shop, and soon afterwards Davis saw the head of one of the prisoners, who was at the moment ascending the ladder. The fellow at once rapidly descended and pulled the ladder away, and the officer, who was follow • Mg him, fell to the ground from a height of twelve feet. The desperate effort to escape was, however, unsuccess ful, the officer started upon his feet, and caught him as he ran along, and the other prisoner was found in the shop. In Benjamin Lintott's lodging were found thirteen brushes, the property of the prosecutor. Frederick Lintott had been in the employment of the prosecutors about a year and a half ago, and had occasionally worked for them since that time, and was well acquainted with the warehouse and the places in which they de posited their stock. One of the prosecutors questioned Frederick Lintott, who confessed that he had stolen a quantity of hair from the premises, but would not say what he had done with it. The prisoners stated that they had nothing to say. They were then committed upon the charge of having entered the premises with intent to steal, and also upon the charge, one of them of having stolen 13 brushes, and the other of having stolen hair value 3/. 12s. GUILDHALL. Mr. Hunt, the landlord of the Dark House public house in Newgate-market, was summoned before Alder man Wilson, for wantonly and cruelly ill-treating a cat in his parlour. Police-constable 261 stated, that while going his rounds about three o'clock last Friday morning, he passed the defendant's house, and heard a great noise inside, as if a cat and dog were fighting, and the uproar continued for some time. He looked through the win dow, but owing to the peculiar kind of glass he could not distinguish the parties there, although from the sha dows there must have been several persons present. At any rate he could say with confidence, that two men were setting a dog to worry a cat. He afterwards heard a moaning kind of noise. The outer door being closed, he did not enter ; but on returning, about twenty mi nutes after, he found the house open, and the cat lying dead upon the floor, while the dog was still worrying and shaking it about. Alderman WILSON (to the defendant)—What answer have you' to the present charge? Mr. Hunt—The fact is, I had the cat for some years, but the previous night she stole a rabbit, and I made up my mind to kill her, and accordingly got a man to effect that object. She was first knocked on the head, and then the man stamped on her neck and killed her. With respect to the dog, it was only a puppy, which would sooner run away than go near a cat. All the officer has stated with respect to the moaning is untrue. The defendant then called Edward Owen, who said he was a butcher, and resided at 39, King-street, Holborn, and was on business from two until four o'clock on the morning in question. Alderman WILSON—What business? Witness—Why, to get a little refreshment, and I can say the dog did not touch the cat until it was dead. Alderman WILSON—Who killed it? Witness—Why, I did. Alderman Weesose—ln what way? Witness—Why, I knocked its head against the walls. Alderman WILSON—How did you hold it? Witness -By its feet. Alderman WILSON observed, it was a strange way of killing a cat, but in his opinion the dog killed it, al though, unfortunately, there was no distinct proof; in consequence of the' officer not being able to see clearly through the windows. Under the circumstances he was obliged to dismiss the case. MA 1? L 808 0 UGH- S TREE T. William Mahe, conjuror's artist, was summoned before Mr. Bingham, for detaining a quantity of articles es sential to the exhibition of tricks of legerdemain, alleged to be the property of M. Dubourg, the proprietor of the Hall of Rome. Dubourg said it was his intention to have in creased the attractions of his estabiiehment by displays of the wonderful art of legerdemain, end for that pur pose he engaged two artists, one of them the delendant, to manufacture the necessary artistic properties, fur nishing them vrith money from time to time to purchase materials. Among other contrivances to puzzle the public were a pasteboard swan that laid an endless number of gonuine eggs, an automaton figure, in blue satin inz•xpret-sibles, that told fortunes as truly as the Norwood gipsay, a magic eagle, and no end of conjura tion cups, balls, and pedestals. The defendant was ex• ceedingly clever as an artist, and he was employed at standing salary of a potted a week to make these ar ticles. The exhibition, however, was put off, and the conjuring apparatus deposited in a room on the pro mis' s, in Windmill-street; but from something that was communicated to him, he was induced to lcok at his stock, when he found that swan, eagle, blue satin breeches, and about a wheelbarrow-full of similar marvels had disapeartd. Pursuing his inquiries, he found that the defendant, in addition to being an artist, was a bit of a conjurer himself, and that being about to set up on his own account, he had given a practical proof of his prestigidatory proficiency by conjuring all the articles:in question out of the premises in Windmill-street into his own cupboard in Long-acre. The value of the property thus abstracted he set down at 10/. Mr. Wontner, for the defendant, contended that the property was not M. Dubourg's. The articles in ques tion were the production of the defendant's leisure hours and the materials were purchased with his own money. It was absurd to say that an artist of the admitted skill of his client was sufficiently paid at 11. a week. He had given the benefit of his skill to M. Dubourg during the day, and at night, or when at leisure, he had, by the aid of pasteboard, tinsel, and deal wood, constructed and invented an apparatus of conjuring wonders that might servo to puzz!e even a bench of magistrates. M. Dubourg said the defendant's time belonged to him. Besides, he could prove that the materials of many of the articles then in court had been bought with funds obtained from him by the defendant. A witness named Bedford was called, who proved that he and the defendant had got money at various times from M. Dubourg to buy materials, and that some of the articles produced had been constructed out of ma terials so purchase& The cue, which underwent several hearings, having been concluded, Mr. BINGHAM gave judgment.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, Nov. 24.—We have fair arri;als and a good show of samples from vessels near at hand. Buyers act cautiously, and only a moderate business done in wheat at a decline of is to 2s per quarter. Barley sells slowly at a similar reduction.

The demand for wheat was extremely slow, without any ma terial change in prices; pure white Gonessee brought 8s to 8s 2d per 701bs. Oats and oatmeal were not much inquired for, and the few buyers that appeared obtained an advantage of -id per bushel and 6d per load. Barley and peas were offered on lower terms, without inducing transactions of moment. Bean s were steady. Flour moved off only in retail, and 29s per barrel, duty paid, was an extreme price for Western Canal ; there were buyers of bonded at 25s and sellers at 265. There was rather an improved demand for Indian Corn, and pre vious rates were supported; 35s 6d per 4801bs was made for fiat American yellow; but Corn Meal met a languid inquiry, at 17s 9d per barrel. EXETER, NOV. 24.—Cattle—A very small compared with that of last week, but it being quite sufficient for the demand, no advance has taken place. Fat beef must still be quoted at from 83 to 9s per score; barreners, 4s 6d to 5s per score, but for very fresh half fat beasts a higher figure was given. Cows and calves, from 9/ to 131 each. Butchers' calves, which were rather plenti ful, sold at from 5f dto 6d per lb. The number of sheep driven in was not much more than half so many as en the preceding week. Fat wethers cannot be quoted at more than sfd per lb, and ewes at sd. Keeping sheep at late rates. There was a large supply of store pigs, hut to obtain sales, lower rates had to be submitted to. Pork Carcases—The supply was about equal to last week, and sold at from 7s 9d to 9s per score. Corn Exchange—Wheat remains nearly the same as last week, although there is a slight difference in some sam ples in favour of the buyer. Best old warranted wheat Is worth about 8s per bushel, and prime new, 7s to 7s 3d, in one instance only have we heard a higher price than this for new, which was for a small sample, which changed hands at 7s 6d per bushel. Barley rather lower, the best selling at about 4s per bushel; oats, 2s to 2a 6d per bushel; fine flour, 41s to 43s per sack. TIVERTON, Nov. 21.--There was a somewhat fuller attendance of buyers than usual in our market on Tues day last, though the price of grain experienced a depres sion. There were several samples of wheat as low as 4s 6d, but the best quantities sold at Gs and 68 6d ; bar ley, 3s 3d to 3s 10.1; oats, 2s to 2s 4d; beef, 6d to 64d for the prime joints; .small Exmoor mutton, 42d and per lb; best wether do., 6d to Old; pork, sfd to 6f d; sides of bacon, 6fd to 7d, without limbs ; ducks, 3s to 4s per couple; fowls, 2s to 2s 9d; butter, 10d per lb; eggs, is per doz.; potatoes 121bs for is.

The sale for wheat was very dull, scarce any sold in the market. There was a great show of bullocks. Sheep were slightly attended to. A great quantity of slip and suck ing pigs were sold. The market was well attended with poultry, butter, eggs, hares, and rabbits. IPSWICH CATTLE MARKET, NOV. 21.—Our cattle 'ALS. Qrs. Rapeseed ... ... ... 327 Shelling ... ... ... 310 Linseed .. ... .. Malt Flour ... ... ... ... market to-day was badly supplied, scarcely any sheep, very few fat boasts, stores short in supply, prices lower, except for pigs, and the trade exceedingly bad. Ipswrcu, Nov. 21.—We had a largo attendance at our corn market, and a good supply of barley to-day, but not: so large of wheat. Th e t ra d e was dull and lower for both, say is per quarter on wheat, and 2s on barley. But few beans or peas, and the sale dull at is abatement. EYE, Nov. 21.—We had a full market, and a large supply of corn. The prices being lower, but little busi ness was done. Wheat full is. per coomb cheaper than the previous week. Good barley brought l6s, fine 16s 6d, but very few buyers at these prices. Peas, beans, and oats, the same as last week. WOODBRIDGE, Nov. 22.—Wheat in short supply, yet Is per quarter lower. Fine barley scarce and fully as dear ; secondary sorts Is per quarter lower. Beans and peas, none offering. BURT ST. EDMUND'S, Nov. 22.—We had a good supply of wheat at market to-day inferior qualities were lull 2s per:quarter lower ; the best descriptions maintained late rates. Barley very dull sale. Beans and peas very scarce and commanded quite as much money. Oats but little inquired after. STOWIIARKET Nov. 23.—Thou g h th e atten d ance at our market to-dayl was good, we did not think the supply of corn large ; that of wheat was small, but of barley pretty good. The trade was very dull, though dry wheat maintained last week's prices ; but barley must be called is per quarter lower. In beaus and pas we had but little variation in prices, being few of either offering. NEWBURY, Nov. 23.—At to-day's market we have a lags supply of wheat, principally composed of the growth of the present year. The first selected, new and old, nearly support late rates, whilst other sorts are difficult to quit at a decline of is to 2s per quarter. Barley large supply, and is to 2s per quarter lower, with a slow trade. Beans, peas, and oats moderate supply, with a very slack demand, at rather declining rates. Old wheat 54s to 50s ; new ditto, 36s to 58s ; barley 283 to 365; oats, 18s to 265 - ; beans, 34s to 42s ; peas 36s to 44s per quarter ; best seconds flour 40s per sack. HEnorr, Nov. 20. The show of both beasts and sheep was rather short; a few of the inferior sheep re mained unsold. Beef, 6s to 6s 6d per stone; mutton, 6d per lb. SALFORD, Nov. 22.—The show of prime beasts very small to-day, but of inferior quality. Superior sheep equally scarce; and best quality of beef and mutton in great demand. The former fully 11 per head dearer; and the best mutton worth fully 6d per lb. NEWCASTLE, Nov. 21.—The supply of all kinds of fat stock on offer here to-day has been of a very in different quality, more especially as regards cattle, which were decidedly the worst in point of quality that have been shown this season. The supply of beef would comprise about 500 head of beasts, the demand for which was more animated than for some weeks past; the better qualities sold freely at our quotations, and a good clearance was effected. The number of sheep on offer was unusually small, there being only 3,617 head presented for sale. The short supply, together with a good attendance of buyers, caused all breeds to advaece from the rates of last week, particularly small sheep, which in some instances made 3s per head more money, and business was soon brought to a close. Pigs—the number shown was 212, which were of a superior quality, including 47 from Ireland; the demand for ali kinds was extremely brisk, and nearly all changed owners. Priees:—Beasts, 5s to 6s 6d; pork, 7s to 7s 3d per stone of 14Ibs; sheep, white•-faced wedders, Is per head above 6d, middling 6d, ewes, Sid; black-faced wedders 50, ewes 4id to 5d per lb sinking offal.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Nov. 24.) SUGAR.—To-day the importers of Raw Sugar were not disposed to make any further concesssion in the value, still exporters or home trade buyers could not be induced to extend their purchases, as the supply continues good. West India was dealt in with caution, both for the pan and scale, at the rates of yesterday. At public sale 102 hhds 21 tierces and 44 barrels of Barbadnes were only in part sold upon barely former terms ; good yellow went at 38s Gd, good middling 375, middling 35s Gd to 36s low 34a to 355. The purchases to-day are only 210, making 1,096 litids and tics for the week, but prices are not more than 6d per cwt lower than on Fri day last. Fur public sale on Tuesday 150 hhds of Bar badoes, 800 bags of Mauritius, 200 bags of Bengal; and for Wednesday 151 hhds 19 casks of Cuba Muscovado Sugar are declared.

The market for Bonded Crushed Sugar is firm at former rates. MAunnaus.—This afternoon the public sales of 2,567 bags, 26 cas k s , an d 42 b arre l s Mauritius Sugar went off flatly, a part only finding buyers at about former terms. The chief part consisted of small lots, and of Sugar out of condition. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Madras Sugar of soft quality met with little attention, and 1,629 bags at auc tion were only in part sold at about former terms ; low brown wont at 27s 6d, middling 28s, good and fine 28s 6d to 29s 6d, low yellow 30s to 31s, middling 31s 6d to 32s 6d ; but 878 bags were sold on full terms. 1,342 mats Manilla taken in at 29s 6d to 30s 6d for low brown Muscovado, and washed 28s to 29s per cwt.

On Tuesday 800 bags of Native Gy!on Coffee will be put up to public sa!e. CoooA.—Priccs are still on tho decline for Foreign, and buyers operate with reluctance, the supply also in creases. At public sale, 262 bags Guayaquil were sold at 28s 6d, but 115 bags bright red Bahia were all with drawn at 295 to 303 per cwt. British Plantation is not offered at any further decline; the demand is, however, not of a more satisfactory nature. The value of low to fine red is 37s to 435, and grey 36s to 395. The stock is, however, on the decrease. TEas-.Black is nut offered at a further reduction, yet all parties do business with caution, and the supply is plentiful. Green has been dealt in with caution, and can be obtained upon rather lower terms, the supply also far exceeds the wants of the trade. Notwithstanding the cheapness of Scented and Pekoo Tea, yet buyers cannot be induced to extend their purchases. It is sur prising that with low prices, a large consumption and moderate stock, that the Tea market should continue in so unfavourable a position. The value of Congou of ordinary quality is 64'l to 7d, good ord 7i.1, mixed blackish leaf 3d to Bid, blackish leaf 9d to sod, strong lld to is id, ditto and Pekoe flavour is 2d to Is 9d, Souchong, low and middling 8d to is 2d, good and fine Is 4d to 2s 4d, and Pouchong 4d to 7d. Dealers in both town and country are but moderately supplied.

The sales are 700 piles at is 31d for good brown, a few lots at is 4d, and a small parcel of plain quality at is 3d. East India is little wanted, and 50 hhds of fine have been sold at is 4d proof; low is only worth is 3d. Demerara has been sold to a fair extent, but at prices in favour of buyers. The sales are 250 puns at 2s to 2s Id for 30 to 38 per cent over proof. For Jamaica home and export demand is limited, though sellers arc willing to take rather lower rates for all kinds excepting for fine, of which the supply is small. Cuba is not worth more than is 2cl proof. Brandy is not lower, still buyers make purchases with caution, de liveries keep upon a large scale, and the stock is mode • rate. For Cognac best brawls of the vintage of 1845 holders ask 53 Id to 5s 3d, 1846 4s 9d to 4s I Id, 1847 3s 9d to 3s l Id, inferior 3s to 3s 4d, Bordeaux 2s 4d to 2s 9d, Spanish 2s 3d to 2s 4d, and French 50 per cent over proof 2s to 2s 2d per gallon. COCRINEAL. —Prices generally cannot be quoted higher for this article as the supply is yet plentiful. At auction 244 bags of Honduras were all sold. The value of black is 3s 8d to ss. Mexican 3s 6d to 4s, silvers 3a 4d to 3s 7d. All sorts keep much lower in price than at that time, but this is not expected to be the case long, as the state of trade in the manufacturing parts of the country is better. RICE.—To-day the demand was not brisker for East India Rice. At Auction 1,794 bags of Bengal were taken in at lls 6d to 12s 6cl for good mid and good white, and said II s to lls 6d, which is rather above the ♦alue, but damaged sold at 8s 61 to lOs 6d; 653 bags of Madras sold at steady rates, good pinky white 9s to 9s 6d, inferior 8s to 8s 6d, and damaged 7s 6d to 8s per cwt.

White is yet in small supply, and is wanted at 4d to sid, fine 6d to 9d per lb. Pod is dull of sale at 40s to 60s per cwt. The supply of Pimento has fallen off, and there is a fair demand at -lid to 5d for mid to good; none has been offered at auction this week. SALTPETRE.—HoIders of Rough continue to display firmness, and refrained from submitting any to public sale this week, whilst privately only a limited quantity is on offer. Several inquiries have been experienced from shippers and home trade buyers, and the rates offered arc fully equal to Friday last. Calcutta of low and mid quality realises 25e to 25s 6d, and good to fine 26s to 275. These rates are 2s to 3s per cwt under those current at this time last year. British refined sells readily at 28s 6d to 295, indeed some parties will not take these rates. ^ FRUIT.—To - day at public sale 181 pkgs of Patras Currants part damaged sold at 363 to 395, low 33s ; 5l pkgs Cephalonia 35s to 375, low 32s to 34 s ; 278 bskts Malaga Figs 325 ; 2,929 boxes Eleme Raisins, a small part only found buyers at 35s to 433 ; 181 ditto Carabourna sold at 365; 2,620 d rums of Sultana, a small part sold at 65s to 70s; 1,044 pkgs Muscatels in part sold at 43s to 48s ; 358 pkgs Jordan Almonds taken out • 65 ditto of V a l enc i a taken in at 72s to 78s ; 415 pkgs Of dried Valencia sold, Raisins 33s to 383 ' • 232 bskts of d amage d Denia ditto 26s to 27s ; 2,500 drums of Turkey pulled Figs sold, sound 60s, fine 90s to 955.

A MBERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, AND BOSTON RAILWAY. —A requisition has been presented to the directors of the Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston Railway, by shareholders holding to the extent of some 12,000 shares, and representing an aggregate interest of 20,0001. in the capital, requesting them to call an immediate meeting, to take into consideration an application to Parliament to reduce the amount of capital, to limit it to the con struction of the line between Nottingham and Grantham for the present, to enable the company to amalgamate with either the Midland, Great Northern, or Eastern Counties, to take into consideration the affairs of the company with a view to an improved management, a change or alteration in the present board of directors, and calling upon the directors to abstain until after the meeting has beon held from any further call upon the shareholders. STOCKTON AND DARLINGTON RAILWAY.—Notices have been given of intention to apply to Parliament, in the next session, for powers-1. To abandon that por tion of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, commenc ing at the east side of the Y,rm station, and passing, through the townships of Egglescliffe, Preston, and Stockton, to a point in Stockton township near the three-quarter- mile-post of the railway; and to construct in lieu thereof a piece of railroad running from and t 9 nearly the same points. 2. '['o purchase the Middles borough Dock. 3. To lease the line to the York, New castle, and Berwick Railway Company.—Sunderland Herald. The first girder of the bridge of the Grimsby and Sheffield line over the Witham was put up on Wednes day last. The girders are made of wrought sheet boiler iron, and the amazing strength required appears to be gained by the peculiar way in which they are made. Persons unused to such matters would pronounce that the first train would bear down the whole of the work into the river; but it is said the deflection of such girders as these is very slight indeed.—Lincoln Mercury. The Crossing of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield line over the high-street into the Midland station has been commenced. and it is said to be purposed to open the line on the 18th of December. Whether the portion of the Great Northern line between Lincoln and Gains borough will be ready for opening by the same period is not yet stated, but it is said that the company find the disadvantage of having to set down passengers at Lincoln, from whom large additional profits might be obtained, if the Lincoln and Gainsborough line was com• plete.-Lincoln Mercury.
