The lavender perfumes the breeze, The swallow takes her flight, And faded leaves forsake the trees, While Phcebus dims his light.

Moses and Son will furnish us Dress suited to the time. Their Autumn stock will prove to be The choicest ever sold ; And just the articles for thee. When sweeping winds blow cold.

Proceeding from the temporary station at Don. caster the line, at 270 yards from that point, crosses the Hexthorpe road on the level. This road —as, in deed, all the immediate locality—has been so com pletely metamorphosed by the operations of the railway company that it would scarcely be recognised by any one who has not seen it for two years. All the land opposite to the Union-house, including several large fields and a considerable portion of Crimpsall, has been re-levelled for the site of the plant. This work has occupied a very long time, as in some places the surface has been excavated six or seven fret, whilst in others the ground has been raised 10 or 12 feet. A little distance from the Hexthorpe-road, and just opposite to the Union house, the junction with the South York s hi re ma i n li ne i s formed. The Great Northern line next crosses the line called Cherry Grove-lane on the level, and then enters into the cutting which commences on this side of Littlemoor lane, and passes through the hill to the Carr on the south side of the Balby-road. A temporary bridge at present accommodates the traffic on Littlemoor.lane, but the road is to be diverted over the tunnel bridge just beyond, and workmen are at the pre sent time engaged in making the deviation. The depth of the cutting at Littlemoor-lane is 30 feet, through a hard and solid rock of red sand. About 160 yards from this point the:line ia,joined by a small branch from the South Yorkshire Railway, which branch commences about a quarter of a mile From the main junction with the Great Northern, and which is intended to facilitate the traffic of the coal trains to the south, obviating the necessity of their stopping at the Doncaster station. The line then passes under a well-designed and well-con structed brick bridge, which, from its unusual dimen sions, is called a tunnel bridge. As the line of rail way at this point intercepts at an acute angle the road to ,Sheffield, Rotherham, &c., and as the trustees would not permit of at* alteration or deviation of their road, the length of the arch is 200 feet; the width between the parapets being 197 feet in the clear, and it has the appearance of a tunnel ; the span is 51 feet, and the height 17 feet. The bridge was built by Mr. Morton, whose contract (under Messrs. Peto and Betts) extended from Doncaster to the Mother drain on the Carr; the plate laying, however being executed by Mr. Price. Emerging from under the bridge the line enters the deepest and heaviest part of the cutting, and then passing Pease's mill pro , ceeds by a curve of 70 chains, radius to the Potteric Carr, a large tract of land which, not many years ago, was one huge swamp, but whiah has since been reclaimed by the operations of certain commissioners appointed for the purpose. The soil is of a black, peaty, boggy character, and it was thought that there would be some difficulty in finding a sufficiently firm foundation for the embankment which now stretches across it. Whatever may have been the obstacles in this respect they have been surmounted, and the traffic of the Great Northern Railway is about to be carried over this once extensive marsh. The em bankment across the Carr is mostly on a level, and is about four feet high. The route across the Carr presents but few features worthy of notice. The point-best known in it is the Decoy—a thick belt of wood which was formerly used by the worshipful mayor and corporation of Doncaster, for the purposes which its name imports. At this point the line crosses two private occupation roads, one of which leads to Loversall, &c., the other to some lands im mediately adjacent, and also presents a view of the villages of Bessacar, High Ellers and Low Ellers, Top Hall Farm, the property of G. J. Jarratt, Esq. The line then crosses the main or mother drain, con fleeted with the system of drainage which carries off the superfluous waters of the Carr. A deviation of the drain has been made for the purposes of the railway. At this point the contract of Mr. Morrell commences and extends to within three miles of Bawtry. From the same point also to the cutting at Piper wood there is a rising gradient of 1 in 198, or 27 feet in the mile, and from Piper-wood to Scrooby there is a descending gradient in the same ratio. The next line passes over the small river Tome, which has been the subject of so much litigation between J. W. Childers, Esq., and the participants of the level of Hatfield Chase. It then strikes through a small plantation called Park-wood, after passing which it brings us in sight of the village of Rossington, which, together with a large surrounding estate, commencing at Mother-drain and terminating at Piper-weed, is the property of James Brown,.Esq., of Harehill, Leeds, who purchased it of the Doncaster corporation about 12 years ago for the sum of 95,0001. The line passes Rossington close to the west end of the village, and shortly afterwards passes under the Rossington- bridge, which is built on the skew at an angle of 38 degrees, and which is really an admirable piece of workman. ship. The span is 26 feet, and the width between the parapets is 25 feet. The appearance of the bridge on approaching to it is very singular, and it is well worth examination. The line then proceeds through a cutting 16 feet deep, passing under two flying arches which are thrown over the line at short intervals, and which are intended for the accommodation of oc cupiers of land in the locality. The first is called Brown's Flying Arch ; the next Shooter's Hill Bridge. The singularity of these erections is that the arches spring from layers of brickwork placed on the banks of either side, and not from regular abutments. We understand it is the intention of Mr. Brown to plant laurel and other hardy evergreens on the side of the embankment at Shooter's Hill, which will, we doubt not, produce a very picturesque effect. The line then proceeds to Piper Wood, the property of the Duke of Newcastle, and which is situated in Not tinghamshire, the boundary line between that county and Yorkshire, being drawn just on the north side cf the wood. There is a cutting at this point varying from a dead level to 17 feet, and, as we have already stated, a descending gradient of 1 in 198, or 27 feet in the mile, here commences and extends to Scrooby, just beyond Bawtry. A flying arch for the accomo dation of the occupiers of land at Martin, &c., is thrown over the cutting at Piper Wood. At this point also the contract of Mr. Morton (under Messrs. Pete and Betts) begins, the works being of a rather heavy character as far as Bawtry. Shortly after passing Piper Wood the line enters a cutting through the hill at King's Wood, which is 27 feet deep. It is remark able that from Doncaster to Bawtry the cuttings on the line are all made through a continuous stratum of hard, heavy, red sand, which has had to be blasted. At this last mentioned cutting the line intersects the Great North-road, so famed in days of yore for the, almost incessant traffic of coaches and (Aber vehicles, which the modern inventions of steam locomotives and railways are fast superseding. The Great North-road bridge crosses the line at this point, and it is a struc ture of excellent design and workmanship. It is com posed of a series of arches built on the skew, at an angle of 33 degrees, from square abutments. It has the appearance of great strength and durability, and is, we understand, less costly than the bridges con structed on the usual plan. The span of the arch is 52 feet 8 inches ; the width of the bridge between the parapets is 35 feet 3 in. • and the height from the level of the line 24 feet. Between 400,000 and 500,000 bricks have been used in constructing it. It has been built by Mr. Morton, under the superintendence of Mr. Butler, sub-engineer of the works from Askern to Retford, and is considered by competent judges to be a splendid piece of work. At this bridge the estate of Mr. Milnes, of Bawtry, commences and ex tends to Scrooby. Beyond the bridge the depth of the cutting increases to 27 feet. This cutting ex tends with varying depth nearly to the station at Bawtry, or rather the outside of Bawtry, the object of erecting it so far from the centre of the town being apparently one of an economical character, as by building it at the point where it now stands the heavy expense of raising the ground to the level of the embankment and viaduct which extends over the valley of the river Idle and the low land adjacent for nearly the whole length of the town of Bawtry, is obviated. The station at Bawtry is a very neat and commodious edifice, and may be regarded its. the principal of the four stations between Doncitifa „ Vaa East Retford, namely, at Rossington, at Bawtry, at Serooby, and at Ranskill. They have been designed with a view of affording ample accommodation for the respective districts in which they are situated, and, at the same time, a comfortable residence for the parties in charge. They are built of white bricks, with dressings of stone, and covered with Welsh slate. The I3awtry station has recessed windows, with semi-circular heads, and a bold projecting cornice to the eaves. The gate-lodges at the several crossings upon the line are well adapted for the purpose, and in the construction of both stations and lodges the utmost regard has been paid to economy. the cost of the Ranskill and Rossington stations is about 4001. each, and that of Bawtry about 700/. The stations and lodges were designed by H. Goddard, Esq., architect, of Lincoln, f)ntisilti t r from whose designs the splendid Railway Hotel, at , Lincoln, the Great Northern Company. Mr. .Goddarda lately y riculturil received the prize of 501. from Society of England for the b th e e st ß T e o h is a a on g the con struction of labourers ' cottages. e stations were built by Mr. C. rd, of Lincoln. 'They are all provided with signa W l posts at p a distance . of about 500 yards d from each of the stations .. Passing the station at B ayf t r y the lisle crosses a deviation of the Bawtry [PRICE SD. and Thorne road. over a well-constructed brick arch, and then proceeds on to the viaduct, which, like similar works on the Great Northern Loop, is built of wood, and is 1,200 feet long. It is slightly curved, and consists of a timber platform, supported on a great number of piles 49 to 45 feet long, bound by cross timbers, the whole being coated with tar, to preserve it from the injurious action of the weather. This viaduct was built on account of the bad foundation—peat and bog—at this part of the line. It, is a very substantial and costly erection, though of course, less expensive than a viaduct of other materials would have been. At the extremity furthest from Bawt*y station the viaduct terminates in a bridge over the Gainsborough and Lincoln turnpike-road, and is succeeded by an embankment which gradually dimi nishes in height until it brings the line on a level at Scrooby. From Scrooby to Retford the line presents very few features to describe. In the first place, the rails are laid on nearly a dead level, and in nearly a straight line the whole of the distance. Scrooby is in Nottinghamshire ; the township of Bawtry is in Yorkshire ; and the boundary line between the two is about 146 miles from London by the Great North ern main trunk line. The Archbishop of York is lord of the manor. The line passes to the left of the village of Scrooby, about a mile and a half from Bawtry, crossing the river Ryton and the mill stream by pile bridges, and about a furlong further an loccupation r oa d called Ings Bank-road. At Scrooby there is a small but neat station of white brick, sufficiently commodious, however , for all the require ments of the neighbourhood.The line then pro ceeds through several fields, chiefly pasture, be longing respectively to Earl Spencer, R. P. Milnes, Esq., Viscount Galway, Mr. J o h n H aynes, and others, to the towship of Ranskill. Be fore reaching Ranskill, the _line. passes -under the Mattersey road, which is carried over by a sub stantial brick bridge of 50 feet span. The station at Ranskill is in character with those at Bawtry and Scrooby ; indeed, throughout the line, economy and convenience appear to have been more studied than elaborate ornament or architectural display. Leaving the village of Ranskill to the right, the line skirts on the left the plantation of Mr. Francis Chester, and after passing through several fields of arable land, enters the township of Torworth, crossing the road leading from that village to Danesbill on the level. The line then traverses a considerable part of the estate of Viscount Galway, and intersects the town ship of Barnby Moor for a distance of a furlong and a half, and then enters the township of Sutton-cum- Lound, skirting the boundary line of Barnby Moor for above a mile. After leaving Sutton-cum-Lound, the line crosses the Great North-road, at an angle of 61degrees, about two miles and a half from East Retford, passing into the parish of Babworth, and principally through the estate of the Hon. John Bridgman Simpson, whose residence it leaves to the right. The line then enters the parish of West Retford, in a field belonging to the trustees of the Trinity Hospital, at West Retford, whose property the line principally traverses in this parish. About a mile and a furlong from the junction with the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, the Great Northern line passea over the Chesterfield Canal by a bridge constructed of tubular girders, similar to the bridge over the Don at Doncaster. The width of the bridge between the buttresses is 25 feet, and it crosses the river at an angle of 32 degrees. About three miles beyond this point the line crosses the Worksop and Retford road at an angle of 33 degrees, and then, about a furlong further, enters the parish of Ordsall, intersecting the high road from Ordsall to East Retford, and also cutting through a small plantation, the property of Mr. P. H. B. Dickenson. It then proceeds through arable and pasture lands belonging to the trustees of the Holy Trinity Hospital of West Retford, for about half a mile, and then joins the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway, where, for the present, the works of the Great Northern Company stop.—Don caster Chronicle. HOW TO MAKE AN UNHEALTHY BED-ROOM. (From the Journal of Public Health.) If you want to have a thoroughly unhealthy bed room, these are the precautions you should take : Fasten a chimney-board against the fire-plac?, so as to prevent foul air from escaping in the night; and of course in the night season never have a door or window open. Use no perforated zinc in panelling; especially avoid it in small bed-rooms. So you will get a room full of bad air. But in the same room there is a bad, worse, and worst : your ohjoct is to have the worst air possible. Suffocating machines are made by every upholsterer ; attach one to your bed ; it is an apparatus of poles, rings, and curtains. By drawing your curtains around you before you sleep, you insure to yourself a condensed body of foul air over your person. This poison vapour bath you wilt find to be most efficient when it is made of any thick material. There being transpiration through the skin, it would not be a bad idea to see whether this cannot be in some way hindered. The popular method will do very well ; smother the flesh as much as possible in feathers. A wandering princess, in some fairy tale, came to a king's house. The king's wife, with the curiosity and acuteness proper to her sex, wished to ascertain whether their guest was truly born a princess, and at the same time found out how to solve the question. She put three peas on the young lady's palliasse, and over them a large feather-bed, and then another, then another--in fact, fifteen feather beds. Next morning the princess looked pale, and in answer to inquiries how she had passed the night, said that she had been unable to sleep at all, because the bed had lumps in it. The king's wife knew, then, that their guest showed her good breeding. Take this highborn lady for a model. The feathers retain all heat about your body, and stifle the skin so far effectually that you awake in the morning pervaded by a sense of languor, which much must be very agreeable to a person who has it in his mind to be unhealthy. In order to keep a check upon exhalation about your head (which otherwise might have too much the way of nature), put on a stout, closely-woven nightcap. People who are at the height of cleverness in this respect sleep with their heads under the bedclothes. Take no rest on a hair mattress; it is elastic and pleasant, certainly, but it does not encase the body, and, therefore, you run a risk of not awaking languid. Never wash when 1 you go to bed, you are not going to see anybody, and, therefore, there is no use in washing. In the morning wet no more skin than you absolutely must—that is to say no more than your neighbours will see during the day—the face and hands. So much you may do with tolerably good will, since it is the other part of the surface of the body more covered and more impelled in the full discharge of its functions, which has rather the more need of ablution. It is therefore fortunate that you can leave that il o r t . h b ef part unwashed. Five minutes of sponging bing over the whole body i n the mor ning a gwould tend to invigorate the system, and would send you with a cheerful glow to the day's business or pleasure. Avoid it by all means, if you desire to be unhealthy. Do not forget that although you must unfortunately apply water to your face, you can find warrant in custom to excuse you from annoying it with soap ; and for the water again you are at liberty to take vengeance by obtaining compensation damages out of that part of the head which the hair covers. Never wash it; soil it; clog it with oil or lard, — either of which will answer your purpose, as either will keep out air as well as water, and promote the growth of a thick morion of scurf. Lard in the bed-room is called bear's grease. In connexion with its virtues in promoting growth of hair, there is a tale which I believe to be no fiction ; not the old and profane jest of the man who rubbed a deal box with it over night and found a hair trunk in the morning. It is said that the first adventurer who advertised bear's grease for sale, appended to the laudation of its efficacy a note bene, that gentlemen after apply ing it should wash the palms of their hands, other wise the hair would sprout thence also. I admire that speculator, grimly satiric at the expense both of himself and of his customers. He jested as his own pretensions, and declared, by an oblique hint, that he did not look for friends among the scrupulously clean. Of course, as you do not cleanse your body daily, 9 ° you will not show favour to your feet. Keepupa due distinction between the upper and mem bers. When a German prince was told 'hthe liveliness that he had dirty hands, lcoownldentl y of' conscious triumph, " Abhe,"dpoliyec(l3,l7citall that dirty ? You should see my toes !" Some people wash will do very well ; f. them once in every month, h or once a year, it matters little which. In what was hi ng you find yourself unable to omit, use only the finest towels, those whi c h inflict the least friction en the skin. Having made these arrangements for yourself, take care that they are adhered to, so far as may be convenient, through out your household. Here and there, put numerous sleepers into a single room ; this is a good thing for children, when you require to blanch them, and render them delicate, but you must take care not to carry this too far, otherwise you will render them pasty, pot-bellied, and deformed. It was this practice which was so succesful at Tooting in thinning the population. By all means let a baby have foul air, not only by the use of suffocating apparatus, but by causing it to sb;ep where there are four or five others in a well-closed room. So much is due to the maintenance of our orthodox rate of infant mortality. .With a lift thought and dbservition there will I :be sugges*l to you many more contrivances for the securing"Of unhealthiness in bed-rooms. An English man's castle has a great many fortifications against the entrance of mere bodily vigour. In two or three future papers I will endeavour to point out a few other precautions ggainst health in the home, selecting chiefly those of which the most timid person can avail himself, without incurring any risk of being thought eccentric. SANITARY MEASURES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In reply to your correspondent, "Father Thames," I beg to say my "conclusion," that Mr. Edwin Chadwick " has no small interest in the system for converging the sewage, and with it swamping the country," is deduced from the following "Minutes of Evidence taken before the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Metropolitan Sewage Manure, 26th June, 1846," viz.:— __ Lord Robert Grosvenor—Have you any idea of what the effect would be, supposing the sewage water of London were carried out to Hounslow or Statues, and that neighbourhood ; and that there were tanks or re servoirs there ? "Mr. Edwin Chadwick—l think the tanks might frequently be covered. It would depend upon the dis tance from i.abitations. All my experience, and all my information, go to vindicate the integrity of the nose; that if you did not smell it at any place there would be no injury from it, and if you did, there would be. " Lord Robert Grosvenor—Supposing they were .overed, do ycu think any danger need be appre hended? "Mr. Edwin Chadwick—lf you did not smell it there would be no danger. " Lord Robert Grosvenor—Do you think you would smell it, considering the extremely diluted state of it? "Mr. Edwin Chadwick—l think you would, unless it were in covered tanks. The truth is, a great por tion of the London sewerage; I have been in the Lon don sewers with the other commissioners, and smelt it, and I believe everybody who did go down bad their health affected. " Lord Robert Grosvenor—Are they (the tanks of Edinburgh) near to any habitation ? " Mr. Edwin Chadwick—They were so near that the effluvia from them was offensive to the inhabit ants, and being offensive to the smell, it was injurious -to the- health; that war-one of the great objections; and it was in consequence made matter of conflict between the municipal authorities and the proprietors of those meadows." "The First Report of the Metropolitan Sanitary Commissioners of lgth November, 1847," was, I be lieve, compiled principally, if not entirely, by the said Mr. Edwin Chadwick. In this report, regard ing the cholera, it is stated, "In its progress through England, in whatever places it attacked, it generally first appeared in the neighbourhood of rivers or marshes, and principally raged in low and damp localities, particularly where these were also the outlets of filth."—" In our Lancashire towns cholera manifested itself, more than elsewhere, along the water-courses (including districts occasionally flooded, &c.), and with peculiar virulence near the outlets of drains. The progress of the disease in Manchester, from first to last, furnishes a comment on this remark."—" In Back Irk-street, in which a number of cases occurred, the only houses visited by the disease were close to the main sewer, which there burst into day and ran above ground 1"—" The whole of the evidence, however, appears to lead to the con clusion that it is the combination of impurity with humidity of the air which so powerfully predisposes to cholera!"—" In our opinion there is but one safe guard against this malady. Tbat safeguard consists in sanitary arrangements; and sanitary arrange ments, to be efficient, must be such as will secure the purity of the atmosphere! particularly by the imme diate and complete removal of all filth and refuse !" Again, "If the external atmosphere is not maintained in a state of purity, it may be the very means of pro ducing and aggravating disease !"—" But it is now universally admitted that a tar more powerful predis ponent is the habitual respiration of an impure atmosphere !" Upwards of a year and a half after giving the " evidence " quoted, the said Mr. Edwin Chadwick delivered to me the prospectus, form of application for shares, &c., in his company, at Gwydyr House. In these papers the said Mr. Chadwick's name is to be found three several times pertinaciously advocating this swamping system. But the foregoing extracts manifest, I think, that said advocacy cannot be NN ith sanitary purposes or on sanitary principles. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, RICHARD DOVER. 28, New-street.

Sin,—l beg leave to transcribe for Sou a sonnet addressed a few weeks hack to the immortal Kossuth, at a time when my heart beat high with hope for the success of the Ilungari in cause. "To LUDOVICUi KOSSUTH. "In her security toed linglaha sleep,; Yet, sleeping, on a pr , Opine doth stand, With vacant wiz) on the cterztal deeps; While in the t win-sourd, lion t'etArted land Of Europe's dawning, cloth the Ma2yars hand Wave sternly tuw'rd tiie dancer's rocky steeps, Undaunted, uoappall'd. 0, wan of m' n! At s;ght of whom the heart of freedom leaps; Thy trurnvet-clatig must wake that cord again In England's breast, that ever spell•like wrought; The age's and thy country's Cromwell! thou Dost teach the lesson that of old she taught A teachless race, and let us cherish now The man, the noble deed, the lofty thought." Now, under its sad reverse, I do not know that I need retract a single expression, save one; for if the course of the Hungarians has been less open to the suspicion of impure motives than has been the lot of the great Englith leader, nevertheless it must be ad mitted that if the former, like the latter, had been also a sol Bier, we should, in all probability, have seen a different termination to the war than that which we now deplore. Allow me to ask what is now doing for the cause ? One thousand pounds is something ; but it will not go a gr( at way. Within the recollection of us all, the English nation raised a quarter of a million to carry an object in which its own self-interest was concerned, including, however, a testimonial—a grateful testimonial to the chief promoter of that mea sure. Mr. Cobden and the English nation have ex pressed, in a glowing manner, their sympathy with the Hungarians. What will they do now ? For, as Lord Nugent well said, what is the value of lofty words unless they are backed by lofty deeds ? If it be too late to appeal to the " Great corrector of enormous:times, Shaker of o'errank states, the grand decider Of dusty and old titles," let us not forget that those whom we have abandoned to their fate hare still in their adversity to be sup ported. Shame enough is ours for what has passed; let us thank God that we can still retrieve so much honour as will arise from our making a handsome provision for those who have deserved so well. As one of Lord Dudley Stuart's constituents, I call upon him to renew this agitation. All that is past is done with; its object has failed. Let him therefore renew it on the ground of the necessity of supporting Kossuth and his coadjutors. Let resolutions be passed at public meetings calling upon the Govern ment of this country to give adequate pensions to these noble men—pensions such as hare been too readily granted to princes exiled through their own misconduct. Yet, not depending upon this, let a system of collecting subscriptions be organized by which a sum not less than a hundred thousand pounds shall be raised for such purpose, in the case of need. It could easily be done if only set about with earnestness; but it must be done quickly, before the public en thusiasm is allowed to cool. And now for the most important point of all. Resolutions are passed at public meetings urging Lord Palmerston to protest in favour of the integrity of Hungarian institutions, while it is forgotten that in the meantime " The foremost man of all the world," may be shot or hanged, and at all events is in danger of being so without its being apparent that any active step on his behalf and that of his colleagues is taken England. either L et thisby the be Government amended.

She was at the barrier outside Stoekholm one winter's evening, awaiting the compulsory visit of the Custom-house officer, who at length aiprouched with his lantern. ,‘ He had a red nose, and appeared unhappy." She entered into con versation with him, and fuund that the was married, and was the father of four children; he seemed sad, and sighed as he told the number of his family. Her heart softened towards the man, employed in his troublesome duty of ransacking tra, , ellers' luggage, to see they car ried nothing contraband. She felt for a piece of money, and thought of some gingerbread and a cheese for the four children's supper; but, while thus feeling and thinking, the gate-man opened the bar, a nd the carriage passed quickly through the gateway. With as oppressed heart, and uncomfortable feelings, the traveller proces ded through the city, and saw in the white snow-flakes before her, as in a transparency, the frozen red nose and sad face of the Custom-house officer.

BRISTOL, SEPT. 6.—Owing to the continuance of fine weather, and the very favourable reports of the grain crops, and but few and partial complaints of disease in the potatoes, our markets still evince great inactivity and continued decline in values. Our quotations to-day for wheat, both old and new, are is to 2. per quarter lower. At this day's market English old and new wheat fetched from 36s to 40• per imperial quarter; foreign white, 38s to 408 per 4801 b; ditto, red, 36s to 38s; ditto, hard, 32s to 345. Barley, oats, and beans are each 15 1 per quarter lower. English malting, 27s to 305 per im• perial quarter; foreign, 25. to 275; English grinding and distillery, 23. to 255; foreign ditto, 20. to 22s per 4001 b; oats, Welsh and Devon, 16. to 17s per imperial quarter; Irish, 181 to 20. per 3201 h; ditto black, 16s to 17s per imperial quarter; foreign, none; beans, foreign, 24. to 28s per 4801 b; English, 28s to 32s per imperial quarter. The flour trade is also very fiat, and prices are Is per sack cheaper. United States sweet superfine, 23s to 25s per 1961 b; English seconds, 29. to 31s per sack. The arrivals for the week ending September 6, are— wheat, 580 quarters; oats, 2,150 quarters, and 2,409 barrels; barley, 251 quarters and 240 barrels; flour, 450 sacks. The averages for the week are—wheat, 39s Id; oats, ISs 10d; barley, 245. BIRMINGHAM, SEPT. 6.—At Gloucester market on the Ist, new wheat was 3s and old 2s per qr lower. At Worcester, same day, new declined 2s and old is per quarter. Beans and peas, also heavy; barley unaltered, with little doing in either. Less money would have been taken for interior barley, also for oats, had there been buyers. During the present week some consider- Able sales of Polish Odessa wheat have been effected at 5s per 621bs, being a reduction of is per quarter. Oats Are offered at 61 to is per quarter under former prices, and are only taken in limited quantities. Beans held for quite as much money. Peas neglected. No transactions reported in barley. The weather seems to have taken up fine and fair. At this day's market there was a limited supply of English wheat, and both old and new were quite as dear as this day se'nnight, but foreign was again Is per quarter cheaper. Oats 61 and barley is per quarter lower. Beans maintained their value. On peas, the turn was in favour of the buyer.

ROTHERHAM, SEPT. 3.—Beef, 53 9d to 68 3d per stone; mutton, &id to sid per lb. DERBY, SEPT. 4.—The supply of fat beasts to-day was about the average, the quality generally was of the middling sort, such as are only suitable for hot weather; the demand was somewhat limited, and there were some few animals left unsold. The number of sheep and lambs was tolerably good, but the sales were slow, and the demand for all kinds of sheep was but small. There were but few fat calves, which were only in moderate request. The number of fat pigs was large for the season of the year, which remain unaltered in price. Beef made 4id to sd; Mutton, 4id to 5d ; Veal, 5d per lb; Pigs, 7. Gd per score. Rough fat, 3s 6d per stone of 141bs. Hides, lid per lb. Calf-skins, 2d to 3d per lb. GLASGOW, SErr. s.—The weather has continued changeable and rainy since our last. With the excep tion of about 15,000 barrels of flour from Canada and the United States, the arrivals from all quarters have been unimportant. The trade was inactive throughout the week, yet fine qualities of wheat and flour very nearly maintained last Wednesday's rates; secondary descrip dons, as well as most other articles, were easier to pur chase. This day's market was thinly attended. Wheat and flour, although offering at a decline of 6d per boll or barrel, were a slow sale. Barley unaltered. Oats and oatmeal hung heavily on hand, at a reduction of 6d per boll or load respectively. Beans and peas the turn cheaper. Indian corn hardly inquired after.

THE PACIFIC SQUADRON. Extract of a letter:—" Her Majesty's ship Driver, Commander Johnson, arrived at Valparaiso on the 11th of ,June. She left.telonte Video on the morning of the 28th :of, April, but ~in consequence of the succession of south-*+est gales sellch she met, and as she made it a sailing voyage to prevent expense of fuel, she did not reach the entrance to the Strait's of Magellan until the afternoon of the 14th of May. In the Straits she met with very strong westerly winds; steam was needed, of course, as she could not do anything with canvass, and being obliged to anchor as night came on, she did not average more than sixty miles each day, not having more than seven hours' daylight. Large herds of guanacoes were seen by her in the vicinity of Gre gory Bay; she intended wooding at Port Famine, but found the landing so bad that she moved on t o Bougainville-bay, where a most convenient cove affords great facility in that way. A party was sent on shore, and in three days procured upwards of eighty tons of wood for the use of steam. From personal observation I can state (says our correspondent) that the small Chilian colony at Port Famine is a wretched place, and i n wretched condition. No ground . . cultivated except a small patch by an old Italian priest, of the Dominican order. We expected to be able to repleni s h s t oc k t h ere, but found the people more in want themselves than in a condition to supply us. There are about 200 p ersons i n all. The present site is anything but a favourable one for the colony, and it is proposed to move it to Sandy point, a place about twenty- three miles to the south ward, in the vicinity of wh ich coa l-mines have b een found, and I am told preparations will shortly be ma d e to export the coal to Valparaiso; it is of good quality, and can be got with ease. The number of vessels that nave passed since the Ist of Ja nu ary this year through the straits has been greater than known at any p rev i ous year; twenty-nine vessels , principally American, b oun d The vessel was ver y muc h strained, of her expe r i ence d for California, have gone th ro ug h. On the morning of y sea running out s id e , an d the 25th of May the Driver cleared the Strait s o f Magel lan,b ow andin a strongfoundd by the reov excellent x r very hi. N.W. navi master, she managed toreach the entrance to Lord Nelson Strait on the morning of the 26th of May. She soon got into smooth water again, and steamed between the laby rinth of islands up to the Gulf of Penas in lat. 47 deg. 46 sec. south. This passage was a great task, as the charts are anything but clear to guide the navigator through a channel formed by so many and so imperfectly laid down islands of all shap es and sixes. Leaving the Gulf of Penas she met with comparatively moderate weather, and on the 1 lth of June, at noon, she reached Valparaiso, having been 44 days from Monte Video, and, considering the many stoppages in the straits, is considered not a bad passage. "Rear-Admiral Hornby's flag is flying on board the Gorgon steam- sloop in the bay, together with the Daphne, Driver, Cockatrice, and Nereus. " The Asia, 84, Captain Stopford, sailed for Coquimbo and Callao on the 6th of June, to remain at the latter place until September. " The Champion, 14, is at Callao, with the Naiad depot ship. " The Inconstant, 36, is at San Francisco, Upper Ca lifornia. " The Constance, 50, is en route from Mazatlan to Valparaiso, with freight. " The Amphitrite, 25, is at the Sandwich Islands. " The Daphne will leave Valparaiso in a few days for the Fegee Islands, thence to the Sandwich Islands, &c. "Lieutenant E. D. Ashe, First-Lieutenant of the Daphne, was invalided on the 28th of June, in conse quence of his being in a weak Mare from baying his leg broken whilst that ship was at Madeira, by the cable surging ; he remains at Valparaiso to go home in the Constance." PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 6.—The Admiralty steamer Black Eagle. with Admiral Duedas and family on board, came in from Portsmouth on Tuesday; she h•id a defect in her boilers, and having coaled will sail for Pembroke to-day. The Spartan, 22, was taken, on Tuesday, into No. 5 dock, to have her bottom examined. The Heels steamer is to be brought forward imme diately for commission. The Niobe, 28, building in No. 1 slip, will be launched on Tuesday the 18th inst. The Bombay, 84, was on Monday towed alongside the sheer hulk ; her masts were unshipped, and taken on the sth inst. into the yard for examination. On Monday next, the 10th inst., a general survey of all the stores in the dockyard will be commenced. The sloop Ringdove, used as a hulk in the river Yealm during the prevalence of cholera at Noss, was, in consequence of its abatement, withdrawn on the 4th inst., and taken by Mr. Walker, harbour-master, to her moorings in Hamoaze. The ship Herefordshire, of London, Captain Richard son, laden with cotton, from Bombay, was off this port yesterday, and landed passengers—Mr. A. H. H. Mercer, of the 60th Regiment Royal Miles, and lady, Dr. M‘B”eth, and Mrs. rrotheroe and two children; Mr. Protheroe died the second day after leaving Bombay, and was buried at sea. The Herefordshire has on board about 120 military invalids from the 24th, 29th, and 78th Regiments. She has had fine weather during the passage, and on the 29th ult., off the Western Islauds, spoke her Majesty's brig Scout, outward bound. The ship Artemise, Captain Miihommed Ben Hamees, belonging to his Highness the Imaum of Muscat, left this port on the 3d instant for her destination, Zanzibar. She burdens about 500 tons, has a crew of 45 men, and took on board in the Thames a general cargo of British mer chandise, including looking-glasses stud chandeliers to the value of 20,0001., for the private use of his Highness the Imaum. While in the river four of her crew deserted, and not knowing that the Artemise had put in here applied to their Consul, in London, for conveyance to Arabia, when their application was met by the promise of a passage in their own ship, to which they were sent per steamer last Saturday. About ten days since one of the men, in a state of nudity, swam ashore and took shelter in a copse near Plymstock, where be remained many hours without food. Tho neighbours at length fed him and gave him clothes, and believing his state ment, that he would be liable to rough usage from his comrades, they resisted the attempt of a Plymouth policeman to convey him on board. Be is now occupyin g a cave in a rock at Hooe Lake, and seems perfectly at home. OUTGOING MAILS TOR.

WORCESTER, SEPT. s.—The warm weather for the last ten days, coupled with the late soaking rains, has done wonders for the hops, and the improvement in the plantations has both astonished and pleased the growers, who, with half a crop, will no doubt gain more by extra price than they did by their last year's produce; though fortune has been very partial its her favours, for in some parishes the produce will equal that of last year, while in others the crop will be scarcely worth gathering. The duty both for the district and the kingdom hat rapidly advanced, the former from 7,000/. to 9,0001., the latter from 65,000/ to 100.0001., at which they are freely backed. The market is almost at a stand, although hops are offered much lower.— Worcester Journal.
