GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The' ordinary half-yearly meeting of- the proprie tors of his bp mga i py Alp held , on Saturday;; Mr. B. Denison, M.P., m the chair. The SECRETARY read the following report : " Since the last half-yearly ordinary meeting of the Great Northern Railway Company, held on the 23d February last, the sanction of Parliament has been `obtained to the Amendment and Deviation Bill sub mitted to an extraordinary meeting on that day. "In accordance with the report of the directors at the meeting of the 23d February, the line then at work from Peterborough to Lincoln was, on Easter 'Monday last, further opened for traffic to Gains borough ; and in the first week of September, trains will commence running between Lincolnshire and Yorkshire by Retford and Doncaster. " At the same period the Great Northern trains will be enabled to run on to Wakefield, and also by Methley to Leeds, under agreements with the com panies to whom belong the intervening lines, and railway communication will be completed between Petergorotigh, by Lincoln, Gainsborough, Retford, ' and Doncaster, and all parts of Yorkshire; also to the north of England and Scotland, through Leeds, by the Leeds and Thirsk Railway, which has been at work for some weeks past, joining, at Thirsk, the • York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway. " The works on the Junction line of three to four miles, from Knottingley to Burton Salmon, by the York and North Midland Company, are in active progress, and it is expected will be finished early in spring ; and when this junction is completed, the Great. Northern trains will run to and from York, under the agreement with that company. " Oa the continuous communication opening be tween Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, the directors feel confident that the traffic, hitherto only local, and con fined to Lincolnshire, and consequently of small amount, will steadily and largely increase. " The revenue statement annexed gives the result of traffic to 30th June last. " Tile report of the engineer annexed describes fully the general state of the works; and, judging from that report, the directors have no reason to doubt that the line from London to Peter borough will be open for traffic in the course of next autumn. " With respect to the portion of the line from Peterborough north towards Newark and Retford, the directors have to state that the survey and work ing plans have been completed, and that they are about to let the works from Corby by Grantham to lleugham, a distance of fifteen miles, on which the work, are heavy, an I will require nearly double the time to complete that will be necessary for the remainder. " The measure authorised by the resolutions of the extraordinary general meeting of the 7th of June last, of forfeiting the shares on which there was a large amount of calls in arrear, and issuing in lieu five per cent. preference scrip shares of 12/. 10s. each to an equal arnou'it of capital, has been attended with complete success, a nd will, without doubt, supply the deficiency caused by those arrears, confirming the directors in their opinion that it will not be necessary to make any further call on the registered shares during the present year ; and by a clause in the Great Northern Railway Acts Amendment Act, 1849,' which received the Royal Assent on the 31st July, Parliament has sanctioned the issue of those shares. " The same extraordinary meeting authorised also the conversion of the 30,000 London and York Ex tension scrip shares of 25/. each, into the same kind of preference shares of 12/. 10s. cash; but it may be remembered there was some opposition manifested, on the ground that it was giving an uedae advantage to the holders of the London and York Extension scrip shares at the cost of the registered shareholders. " The result, however, shows that the cption then given to convert those shares has not been generally considered an advantage, for about 15,000 London and York Extension Scrip still remain in the hands of the public. These are in course of being paid off at 20s. each, the balance unexpended of the deposit, including interest, after payment of the Parliamentary expenses in respect of the Extension Bills and Acts. " About 4,000 of these London and York Exten sion Scrip, under arrangements arising out of the capitals of the Direct Northern and the London and York, reverted to and have since been held by the company, making with the 15,000 held by the public, 19,000 disposable as preference shares, under the resolutions of the extraordinary general meeting of 7th June last. " There are also about 6,000 unappropriated preference shares remaining after the allotment of those issued in lieu of the shares forfeited 7th June. These, with the 19,000 above mentioned, form a total of about 25,000 of the five per cent. perpetual preference shares of 121. 10s. each, which, under the 7th June last, the directors are empowered to dispose of at their discretion. " These preference shares at present bear a pre mium of about 255. on the price (101.) at which it was resolved they should be issued. " The directors intend, therefore, to give to the re gistered proprietors of this date, who have paid all calls on their shares, the option of taking these 25,000 five per cent. preference shares, of 125. 103. each, upon the payment of 101 103. per ;hare. The first instal ment on account thereof, amounting to 51. 103., to be paid on or before 10th of September next, and if not then paid, the allotment to be cancelled, and all right and title to the shares from that date absolutely to cease ; a further payment of 21. 10s. per share to be made on or before 31st October, and a final payment of 2/. 10s. per share to be made on or before 31st December. This further allotment will be immediately made at the rate of one preference share to eight re gistered, or -16 A or B shares ; but, to compensate for the fractions withheld at the original allotment, at least one preference share will be allotted to each pro prietor. " The first instalment of Si. 10s. being paid, these preference shares become in all respects entitled to the same privileges, and subject to the same conditions, as the original issue, under the resolutions of the 7th June. ",Upon the subject of the balance-sheet and the ac counts appended, and which were sent to the proprie tors some days since, the auditors, Mr. Cattley and Mr. Chapman, have made a special report, to which the directors beg to call the attention of the pro prietors." The revenue statement, commencing Ist of March, 1848 (the partial opening of the East Lincolnshire lines ending the 30th of June, 1849, showed— Dr. To maintenance of road (Grimsby to Louth 965 18 6 To locomotive power 13,637 17 10 To Coaching, merchandise expenses, sta tion expenses, &c. &c.

The CHAIRMAN briefly addressed having commented on various portions of the meeting, a n d moved its adoption. the report, Upon this a prolonged discussion ensued. Mr. GRAHAME HuTcurssoN moved an amendment to the effect t h a t the works on the town's lineebe P roceeded with wi th all p ossible ex p edition, and a l so that portion of the line between Askerne aad York be immediately completed. Mr. WALTER seconded the amendment, a n d con tended that many . of the stations were far too near each other, and impressed upon the directors the great necessity that existed for practising the most rigid economy, otherwise the line would never be worth anything. After a few words from Mr. GROVES, who opposed the:Askerne branch, as the local traffic was insig nificant. Mr. HUGHES complained that. Mr. Baxter, the so licitor, had received thousands more than he should ; that the taxations of his costs was mere folly, and suggested the appointment of a law clerk at a salary. In reply to a shareholder, the CHAIRMAN stated that it was not the intention of the directors to make I the line from King's Cross to the Regent's Canal this year. The CHAIRMAN having replied, the report was adopted, and the directors fully concurring in that portion of the amendment which related to the construction of the town's line, but opposin g the latter portion, The meeting then broke up, after passing a vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors.

(From the United Service Gazette.) THE DESERTERS FROM THE CHlLDERS.—Lieute nant Graham and Mr. Elliott, the lieutenant and master of the Childers, who deserted from that vessel whilst at the Cape on her way home, gave themselves up to the Admiral on the departure of the Childers. We understand that Lieutenant Graham wrote a letter to Admiral Reynolds, stating that his reason for quitting the ship was on account of Commander Pitman's conduct towards him, and both himself and the Master had determined not to go home with him. The Admiral, however, sent them home in the Nim rod, arrived at Devonport, and they now await trial by court-martial at that place. Thus all the reports which have been circulated as to Commander Pitman's mode of commanding his ship will be cleared up. It is said that not one third of the ship's company who left England in the Childers came home in her. At all events, Lieutenant Graham and Mr. Elliott have placed themselves in a very serious position by their act of desertion. DISPATCHES FOR. HALIFAX —44ler Majesty's sloop Persian is ordered, when ready at Devonport (on-the 13th inst.) to proceed direct to Halifax with Admi ralty dispatches for the Commander-in Chief, the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.B. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP CALYPSO.—We regret to state that a malignant fever broke out on board this vessel during her stay on the coast of Mexico, which swept off one midshipman (Browning) and several seamen. Her naval instructor (Mr. E. Shaw) has been left behind sick, it not having been considered safe to remove him from the Nereus, at Valparaiso. The Calypso it will be seen left Valparaiso for Eng land with three millions of dollars, on the 28th May. THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—We have intelligence from the Cape to the 10th of June, by her Majesty's ship Nimrod, which informs us that the gallant Rear- Admiral, Commanding-in Chief, intends to proceed in his flag ship, the Southampton, to the Mauritius, on a visit to the limits of his station. We be lieve, however, that the Admiralty dispatches appointing him Commander -in - Chief on the south east coast of America will reach him before his departure ; when instead of leaving Simon's Bay, the gallant admiral will make his arrangements for proceeding to Monte Video on the arrival of Commodore Wyvill in the Castor. The latest dates from England at the Cape were March 10th. Great complaints are being constantly made at the Cape of the irregular communication between this country and the station. Commander Henry Eden, late first lieutenant of the Dido, in China, and who was employed in the Euphrates expedition, and recently commanded the Locust steamer in the Mediterranean has accepted the lucrative appointment of superintendent to a great northern fishery. There are forty-six candidates for the secretaryship of the Dreadnought, seaman's hospital ship, which has now been vacant six months by the death of Mr. Harley, formerly in her Majesty's navy. TOE CoAsT OF AFRICA..-011T intelligence from the Coast of Africa, it will be seen, has added to our Naval Service Obituary a gallant young officer who has fallen a victim to the casualties of climate. The Centaur had recovered her healthy condition, her ship's company having become seasoned, but the Alert had suffered a little, and Commander Monypenny, of the Sealark, was left dangerously ill. The pirate felucca that killed Mr. Sanders and the men of the Alert's boats, we are glad to hear, has been taken ; but, as she made no resistance, the murdering scoundrels will escape unpunished. This is the justice of the Coast of Africa service. Our officers and men may be killed in action, or murdered in cold blood by these pirates, who, if captured, are to be treated as guests and friends, and the pirate captain becomes a guest of the British officer. Nay, to our utter disgust, as also to the disgrace of our English men -of-war, we know an instance in which ' the commander of a cruiser allowed the slaver captain to share his cabin with him. MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal) There has been a fair proportion of business done this week, especially in leading mines, shares in many of which have found free buyers. The sale of the 249,937 blocks of tin at Amsterdam being now concluded, we may reasonably expect an advance both in the price of tin and the ore, which had decreased considerably antecedent to this sale. We learn that better prices were realised than gene rally expected, although we find that there is a great scarcity of the article both at home and on the conti nent—consequently, an advance must immediately take place on the ore. Smelters have already refused an improved price for tin, and buyers are becoming anxious. _ _ _ In consequence of an improvement in Tincroft, there has been an active inquiry for these shares, which have been done at a considerable advance on former prices. The improvement appears to be in the shaft sinking under the 100 fm. level, where they have a splendid course of grey copper ore. Buyers are to be found for Treviskey and Barrier, South Basset, West Seton, South Frances, and East Wheal Rose, some of which have changed hands during the week. South Tamar, Bedford United, Tamar Consols, Trelawny, Treleigh, &c., have also been sought for. Shares in the following mines have changed hands during the week :—East Wheal Rose, Devon Great Consols, North Roskear, Treviskey and Barrier, South Frances, South Basset, Trelawny, West Caradon, Bedford United, Tincroft, Tamar Consols, Tavy Consols, Kingsett and Bedford, Treleigh, Esgair Lli, Wellington, and South Tamar. At the South Wheal Basset meeting, a dividend of 101. per share was declared for the months of May and June, leaving a balance in hand of 5631 ; the profit on the two months amounted to 1,2911. 12s. 9d. At the Levant meeting, a dividend of Si. par share was declared, leaving a balance in favour of the mine of 1,231/. 13s. 103. At the Wheal Trelawny meeting, the statement of accounts showed a profit of 1,3511. 183. 10d. for the months of March, April , and May, and a dividend of 4/. per share was declared, leaving a balance in hand, with the amount left from last acconnt, of 1,1441.125. 7d. The agent's report represents the mine in a very gratifying and prosperous position. At the Wheal Mary Ann meeting the accounts showed a profit on March, April, and May of 5571. lie• ; and the balance in hand was 1,017/. 19s. Bd. At the Tavy Consols meeting , the accounts showed a balance ag a i ns t th e m i ne of 971. , 18s. 10d. A call of 4s. per share was made.

Id. on the inwame:reouifsn't3tdo” THE SUN, LONDON, workings of May and June, leaving a balance of 1891. 3s. in favour of the company. The captain's report was highly favourable ; the bottom level pro ducing six tons of ore per fathom. Other levers are also looking satisfactory and encouraging. At Tylhoyd, Cardigan, in a mine worked solely by a gentleman at Aberyst with, in driving the deep adit level they have discovered a most valuable lode, although not what we may call rich at present, but, from its general character, may be considered a most important discovery. Other mines in Cardigan are looking remarkably well. There has not been much business done in foreign mine shares, but Copiapo, St. John del Rey, United Mexican, Guadalcanal, and Alten, have changed I hands. The Copiapo Mine report, for the month of April, has been received ; the whole is of a very gratrying character. The Checo Copper Mine is represented as having much improved, especially in the 20 and 40 fm. levels, whereby they have fine courses of rich ores ; the ether points of the mine are productive, and hold out promise of im provement. No Eimprovement has taken place at San Pedro; the returns for the month amount to 56 tons. In the silver mine of Al Fin llallada ' no portion of the lode had been taken down since last advice, but the appearances are of the same fa vourable character, At San Jose del Carmen _ . it was reported, but not officially, that a rich bunch of silver had been discovered; 38 tons of ore from this had been brought to the city, and was in course of amalgamation. The Carmen Alto, Plomizi, and Loreto Mines, are represented in a very promising position. From the gold mines, several tons of good orey work has been • broken from the lade; but the value of the whole cannot be given with precision before the next advices, when a remit tance of both gold and silver may be expected. The whole of the troops are engaged in conveying copper ore for freighting the. Sion. Letters from the Alten Mines have been received ; which, though they convey no advice of actual im provements, yet fully confirm former prospects. FRANCE. During the sitting of ,the French Legislative As sembly on Friday the order of the day for d'scussion was the application of the Attorney-General of the Court of Appeal of Besancon, for leave to prosecute two representatives, Messrs. Sommier and Richardet, for the publication of seditious articles in the Demo cratic Jurassienne, of which the latter is editor. M. Sommier said that • the prosecution was neither sincere nor serious; it was dictated by blind passion. The articles had appeared on the 25th March and 29th April, and since then. he and his colleague bad been absolved by the suffrages of 40,000 citizens. 'Why did justice wait four and five months to summon them to its bar ? The Assembly wouli act wisely by rejecting a demand which was inspired by poli tical passion, and not by justice. M. Odilon, Barrot, President of the Council, said that whatever was his respect for the right of defence, he could not allow magistrates invested with uni versal esteem to be insulted. The legislative power, he added, had no right to arrest the course of justice by refusing to grant the demand of the Attorney- General. Richardet, who followed, reminded the Assem bly that on the 22d of June last N. Odilon Barrot had addressed a circular to his Attorneys General, in which he told them that the opportunity was favour ab!e and decisive, and from that moment a universal chorus of hatred and proscription arose all over the Repnblic.—(Laughter.) The first Christians had been persecuted.—(Laughter.) They might laugh, but he spoke for the country, which listened to him. The per secutors ultimately succumbed, and the persecuted triumphed. The persecuted had in turn become persecutors, and experienced the same fate. He was a Revolutionist, and had a right to stigmatize the conduct of the Reactionists. They had, during the last thirty-three years, expended thirty-three budgets, amounted to 20,000,000,000, not a single million of which was applied to relieve the people.— (llurmurs.) They had employed their innumerable armies during that interval to degrade national honour.—(Loud murmurs.) He knew the fate reserved to the real Republicans, to escape which they had no other alternative left - than, like Socrates, to drink the hemlock. M. Detours observed, that his political friends had no intention to insult the magistrates, by inviting the Assembly scrupulously to examine an application to prosecute two representatives of the people. M. Odilon Barrot declared that the magistrate in question had accomplished an imperious duty, com manded by the laws of the country. "Why," exclaimed a Member of the Left, "Did he wait so long ?" "There had been no 13th of June at the time."— (Loud cries on the Left.) M. Dariste, reporter of the committee, begged leave to read passages from the incriminated articles. The Left clamorously demanded that they be read by M. Sommier ; but the Assembly, on being consulted, decided in the negative. . _ . M. Dariste then read the article of the 25th of I March, headed "Restoration of the Political Scaffold." I " They have," it says, "raised the guillotine as a prelude to the restoration of monarchy, for one is the consequence of the other. The hangman is the twin brother of the King, bis constant companion, and when the King makes his appearance one may be certain that the hangman is not far off. The people, by suppressing the guillotine, knocked off the second head of the monarchical hydra ; and when the two heads fell (the assassin of General Brea), where was the President ? He was resting from the fatigues of the ball of the night before, and recruiting strength for the ball of the next night. What was it to him? Had he not his 600,000 f. a year to spend ? (" That is true," exclaimed M. Gastier.) Unfortunately for the interrupter, M. Pierre Bonaparte was seated on the bench immediately under him. On hearing the interruption the latter rose, and, turning towards M. Gastier t struck him in the face. This incident occasioned the greatest confusion in the hall. M. Pierre Bonaparte was surrounded and actually carried off by his friends. M. Gastier, on the other hand, was with difficulty prevented from following him by his colleagues of the Left, one of whom charitably offered him a cane. The tumult. continuing, M. Dupin put on his hat, and the sitting was suspended. When silence was restored M. Dupin said that a circumstance had occurred within the interior of the hall, which came under the provisions of the 120th, 121st, and 122 d articles of the regulations of the colleague,n sel Assembly. fa 0n s t owsht strike i e of k e the e unfortunately hi m. h mbe r eha Assemblys had o fa rm p r i o g v h o t ke w d a forgotteni s wish to appoint a committee to inquire into the facts, or apply to their two colleagues the penal enactments of the . 120th article which pronounced censure with temporary exclusion.—(Cries from the Left, " There was no provocation."). At this moment M. Pierre Bonaparte re entered the hall, and, having ascended the tribune, said : I beg pardon from the Assembly and deeply regret a moment of vivacity, which was excited by the most violent and personal provocation.—(Bravos on the Right.) I hope the Assembly will not follow the affair any further. It will be settled elsewhere. M. Odilon Barrot observed that the police of the hall exclusively belonged to the President and the bureau, but he assured the Assembly that no later than to-morrow judicial proceedings would be taken. The President then announced that he had written to the Attorney• General to commence proceedings. M. Gastier then ascended the tribune with a paper in his hand, and, after gesticulating awhile, said, "I have been in the face of the entire Assembly the ob ject of an insult, which no man ---- Here M. Odilon Barrot interrupted him, saying, that the debate could not continue, after the measures adopted by the President, but, on being told that M. Gastier had also the right of justifying himself, he did not insist, M. Gastier said, that he had been the object of an insult which every man would have resented if his aggressor had not disappeared. He was consequently obliged to pocket the insult, justified on his part by no provocation, nor motive, or pretext. He did not even know M. Pierre Bonaparte. To judge from the sort of approbation given by the majority to M. Bo naparte's explanation, he (M. Gastier) was afraid that they considered him the aggressor. M. Dupin observed that the moment he had heard of the incident he had ordered both parties to quit the hall. This statement elicited another explosion on the Left, and M. Dupin, being unable to re-establish si. lance, again covered himself and invited the Assembly to adjourn to the bureaux. In a few minutes the hall was completely cleared. It would appear from the above statement that M. Pierre Bonaparte considers it an insult to state that the President receives 600,000 f. a year. The Presi dent is certainly the wiser man of the two. He pockets the insult, while his cousin resents. The conduct of M. Dupin is so glaringly partial, that all the world must be convinced that anything like free discussion under such a President, or in such an Assembly, must be impossible. M. Pierre Buna parte has recourse to a piece of blackguard pot-house violence, which is received with shouts of approbation by the gentlemen par excellence, and M. Dupin apo logises for the assaulter, as having, unfortunately, forgotten himself, and asks the Assembly to punish the victim of the assault. A USTRIA. The Wiener Zeitung of the 6th gives the following account of the taking of Raab by the Hungarians : General Csorich, the commander of the corps in vesting Comorn, announces, from his head-quarteri 4t Nogy Lel, that the besieged at one o'clock in the afternoon of the 33, fell with the-ir whole force upon the Imperialists s'attoned on the right bank of the river, whose numbers had been seriously diminished Lby flying troops, &c., having been sent out. The MON DAY Brigade B'areo, which was posted with five incomplete battalions between Mocsa and Pusta Herkaly, obstinately resisted the insurgents, who with considerably superior forces, made a most impetuous attack. General Csorich on ' learning this, immediately dispatched reinforcements of all three arms to the right bank of the Danube. The enemy had, however, taken advan tage of his superiority of numbers to turn the right flank and threaten the rear of Barco's brigade. The Im perial troops were, therefore, obliged to retreat to the left bank of the river, which, notwithstanding the unfavorable formation of the terrain,' was accomplished in good order. As the commanding position of the enemy's batteries rendered it impossible to take away the pontoon bridge, a couple of the boats were burned. (This is probably the bridge which had been thrown across the Danube at Loved, a small place a little to the west of Atsh.) Ge neral Csorich is unable to send in a statement of his loss, as the cannonade still continued on the banks of the Danube, while his report was sent off. In consequence of what has taken place the direct communication be tween Haab and Atsh is interrupted." Raab, on the sth, was deserted, there were neither Imperialists nor Hungarians in the town. Agram papers state that the Council of the Banat has passed an unanimous vote against the Austrian Constitution of the 4th March. The greatest apprehension prevails' in Moldavia lest the Hunga rians that entered that province should follow up their advantages. The Russians and Austrians at Galatz were preparing to take flight, and it was even ru moured that another corps of 10,000 men, under General Bern, had entered Moldavia. The following is an extract from a private letter received on Saturday from 011mutz I was told that the Emperor of Austria said several times at the Privy Council, that he would be willing to treat with the Hun garians ; and yesterday, at the Schoenbrunn Palace, he said so before his mother, the ArChduchess Sophia. She was very angry with the Emperor about his peaceable ideas, and resorted to very angry words. The Emperor got in a rage at such unjust remarks, and took his sword, broke it and placed it at her feet, upon which his mother was so exasperated that she slapped his face." ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HUME ClRCUl7:—Crolgon, Aug. 11. CIVIL COURT. THE SWANSEA DOCK COMPANY V. LEVEINE. In this cause, which was mentioned in Saturday's paper, it appeared that, after the parties bad agreed to have the question disposed of by the Court as a special case, some difference arose as to the points that were to be reserved, and the result was, that the matter stood Over till this morning. The CHIEF BARON, who had several times intimated his opinion during the case, that it was perfectly uselcss to occupy the time of the Court, when, in the result, there would be no facts to leave to the jury, the whole question being -one of law, again this morning urged upon the parties the propriety of settling the matter by a special case, Upon this the Learned Counsel consulted together, and Mr.n ~ Sylva t HAN M w NELL, who, with r. Peacock, as for the plaintifL, said he was so satisfied with the pro priety of th e coarse t h at was sugge sted by his Lordship, that he should t a k e upon hi mse lt to accede to it. A discussion then took place as to what points were to be relerv e d ; an d Mr. CHAms Eas , w h o was for the defendant (with Mr. Bevy 11), sa id t h e principal point upon which he relied was, that the plaintiffs had not the legal right to make the calls in question; but he would not bind him self to state any particular ground upon which it was to he supported. Sergeant C HANNEL! , said he would not consent to any such gener a l p ro position, and be considered the pliwiffs ought to know what particular pleas were re lied upon, as they might be turned round when they went to the Court upon a technicality which they were not prepared to meet. lie was willing to render every facility to an arrangement, but he must take care, at the same time, that the interests of his clients were protected. Some further discussion then took place, and there appeared a probability of the case going on. The .CHIEF BARON, however, interfered, and asked the Learned Counsel whether they would consent to this —that the general point relied upon should be that stated by Mr. Chambers, and it should be left to him (the Chief Baron) to,jtate to the Court the points of law involved in the pleadings, upon which they wore to give their decision. The Counsel on both sides expressed themselves con tent with this arrangement, and at length a verdict was entered for the plaintiff, subject to a special case to be submitted to the Court above. ROBINSON V. PRINGLE. This was a special jury cause. The action was one of ejectment, to recover possession of a piece of land at Norwood, by reason of an alleged breach of ono of the covenants of the lease granted to the defendant. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Bramwell were for the plaintiff; Sergeant Shee, Mr. Gurney, and Mr. Ogle for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action; it appeared, was a gentle man carrying on business in the city of London, and who had a country residence at Norwood. The defendant was a gardener, and sumo years ago the plaintiff, it ap • granted him a lease of four acres of land, adjoining, his own residence, for the purpose of his convert ing it into a nursery garden ; but, in order to prevent annoyance to himself and family .in his :own residence, by reason of the proximity of the land in question to it, he stipulated in the lease that the place in question should be strictly used for the pur pose specified only, and that it should not be converted into a public tea-garden, or to any similar purpose likely to cause annoyance to the plaintiff. The alleged breach of covenant consisted in the defendant having built a summer -house and pigsty, and what was most com plained of was the erection of a sort of hovel, or cottage, which it was represented he intended to make use of as a residence for himself and family. Several witnesses were called to make out that the erection in question was intended as a permanent resi dence, but the evidence did not at all clearly establish that fact. The CHIEF BARON remarked, during the examination of one of the witnesses, that he did not think the mere circumstance of a person occasionally sleeping in the place ought to be considered as constituting it a dwell ing-house, any more than if the defendant had chosen to bivouac oa the ground all night, and the one act would no more justify his ejectment for breach of covenant than the other. Sergeant SnEE, in addressing the jury for the defen dant, characterised the action as most harsh and arbitrary. He said that the defendant, at great pains and expense, had converted an almost barren piece of ground into a luxriant garden, and this was an attempt to deprive him of the possession of it upon a most frivolous pretext. The erection in question, instead of being intended as a dwelling-house, was solely used for the purposes of keeping the tools in, and the fireplace was for drying the seeds, and he said that such places were always erected in nursery gardens, and it would be idle to attempt to contend that they would constitute a breach of covenant, such as would justify turning the defendant out of pos session. Witnesses were then examined who proved the state ment of the Learned Sergeant with regard to the culti. vation of the garden, and who also expressed their opinion that the building complained of was not intended for a cottage, but was merely a seed and tool-house, ne cessary for the purposes of the defendant's business. It was admitted that a man occasionally slept there, but it was only for the protection of the property. The CHIEF BARON having summed up, the jury, who, on Thursday had, upon the application of the defendant, been to take a view of the locus in quo, after a very short deliberation, returned a verdict for the defendant. , The business of this court continues very much in arrear. Mr. Sergeant Dowling having concluded the business of the circuit upon which he ba been specially employed, joined - this circuit to-day, and upon his being applied to, he consented to try some common jury causes. Should the Learned Sergeant continue to do so, it would be a great relief to the suitors, to many of whom the expenses of an assizo trial must be almost ruinous. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 10. NISI PIOUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Charles Davis, 17, was indicted for having, at Hor field, on the 29th of July, feloniously and maliciously shot at George Ward Nash, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Skinn er prosecute d, and Mr. M'Mahon d e f en d e d the prisone r , w h o, i t ap p ea red, was keepi ng th e bi r d s from the whe a t, w h en t h e prosecutor and a m an name d Lock entered th e field. He called out to them not to go among the wh ea t ; The jury they came up to him, and Nash struck him, on which the prisoner discharged his gun at Nash, burning his hair but providentially doing him but little injury, most of the charge passing by him, except two wounding James Nash, or three shots, which struck him on the back of the head. acquitted the prisoner of the felony, and found him guilty of an assault, for which he was sen tenced to three months' imprisonment. Thomas Perkins, 16, was indicted for cutting and at South Hamlet, on the 4th of May, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. It appeared that the prosecutor was in the employ of Mr. Guest, a contractor on the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, and be went into a stable to get a strap, where he encountered the prisoner, who said, " If thee'st take that strap, I'll stab thee." Suiting the action to the word, ho drew a knife out of his trousers pocket and instantly struck Nash with it in the middle of the right arm. The wound did not appear to have been of a very serious nature, aad it was dressed at the Gloucester in firmary, The jury convicted the prisoner of an assault, and he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Margaret Wallace, 21, was brought up by a writ of habeas corpus from the gaol of Bristol, and indicted for maliciously stabbing George Bryant, at St. Ste phen's, on the 29th of May, with intent to maim and disfigure him. Mr. Powell prosecuted. The prisoner, who was undo fendei, cried most piteously throughout the trial. The prosecutor is a labourer, at Bristol, and on Whit- Monday last went with another young man to the theatre. Bryant, after leaving there, was walking along the quay with a female, when the prisoner came up, and, u s i ng with a knif e . H e f e ll d o wn, and the pri s o ner aga i n abusive language, struck him in the arm struck him in the right side with the knife. He was confined in the hospital for a fortnight. The prosecutor condticted himself with so much levity in the witness box, that the Judgn threatened to commit hive. Iu her di-febee, th,-, prisoner sail Brymt's hrotilf r kept compt.ny with her, but the prosecutor was jealous, and had beaten and kicked her several times because EVENING, AUGUST 13, she would not yield to him. He had done so on the night in question because she had resisted his solici tatuflas. The jury found the prisoner guilty of an assault only, and she was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, on which she fell down iu convulsions, and was carried oat of court. John. Millard,' 40, removed by writ of habeas from Bristol, was indicted for cutting and wounding Elizabeth Millard, his wife, with intent to kill and murder her. The following are the facts of this case : On the 13th of July last, about eight o'clock in the morning,, the prosccutrix went out to work, leaving the prisoner at home. Feeling unwell she returned home at ten, when she missed a gown and a shawl. She aked her husband what he had done with it, and he commenced abusing her, threatening her, and saying, " I will be your murderee." She was alarmed, and ran from the house, but Millard fetched her back, dragged her into the parlour, locked her in, and went into the kitchen, where he sharpened a knife, with which he returned, and again swore he would murder the woman. lle knocked her down, and cut her twice across the nose between the eyes, so us nearly to sever that organ from her face. She was taken to the hospital, where her wounds were dressed, and she was found to be much bruised about the body. It appeared that he had beaten his wife at inter vals from ten until three o'clock, when he used the knife. On the policeman going to the house, he found the prisoner lying on a bed, quite unconcerned at the horrible outrage he had committed. There was a pool of blood on the parlour floor, and also a knife. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and Mr. Baron Roi e FE ordered judgment of death to be re corded against him. NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lancuster, Aug. 10. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) The court was densely crowded to hear the trial of en indictment 'preferred by Mr. John Richardson, a member of the Lancaster Town Council, against Mr. John Battersby, of that town for an assault. The in• dictment was preferred at the last Spring Assizss, and the defendant hid traversed to the present assizes. Tile case excited more than ordinary interest, on account of its having arisen out of some electioneering dispute. Mr. M'Aubrey was counsel for the prosecution; and Mr. Segar for the defendant. His LORDSHIP threw out a suggAstion, that the parties ought to Come ti some amicable setttem , nt; and after this hint from the Judge, the counsel engaged in the case having conferred with each other, Mr. SEGAR, for the defendant, said that. he was ready to admit the fact of the defendant having committed an assault on the prosecutor, Mr. Richardson, under the influence of excited feelings, from his having been mis informed as to some alleged expressions of Mr. RiChardson, which were' said to be disrespectful to his father. Mr. M‘ActuaEY, after calling his Lordship's attention to the a. , ;gravated nature of the assault, and especially to the circumstance of Mr. Richardson having been as saulted at his own door, and struck several srfere blows with a whip by the defendant, said that he could not recommend his client, Mr. Richardson, who was a gen tleman of great respectablity, to come to any arrange ment, unless on the condition of the defendant publicly apologising for his offence, and presenting such a sum of money es his Lordship should think proper to the Lan caster Dispensary. His LORDSHIP thought that Mr. M'Aubrey was quite right, and had exercised a judicious discretion in offering to bring the mater to a friendly conclusion upon such terms. Mr. SEGAR thereupon zaid, that the defendant was sorry for what had taken place, and that he publicly ac knowledged his error. 'The defendant then pleaded Guilty, and was fined 101. to be paid to the dispensary. - CIVIL COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGUTMAN, and a Special Jury.) BROCICLEBANK V. RAWLINSON. This was an action on the case for obstructing a wa tercourse, to which the defendant pleaded not guilty, and denied the plaintiff's right to the water, as stated in the declaration. Mr. lilmernst (Mr. Cowling with him) stated the case for the plaintiff, from which it appeared that he was the occupier of a corn-mill, called Little Mill, on a stream or creek of water rising on the moors above Dalton, and he complained against the defendant that by the erection of saw mills, and a steelmanufactory, and diverting the water to supply them, he had diminished the supply, which the plaintiff and his predecessors had enjoyed from 'time immemorial ; and that the quality of that which did still flow was rendered less useful by sawdust and rubbish from the defendant's. works. The, plaintiff's mill was one of three formerly belonging to the Abbey of Saint Mary, and when the domain was seized by the Crown, it was : granted to the predecessors of the present owners. One of those mills 'was called the Orgreave-mills, and was about nine years ago converted into the steel works complaitied of, the saw-mill being a modern erection, and in 1840 the defendant made certain " cloughs," for the purpose of diverting the water to his works, and thereby got the command of the water entirely; and Mr. Martin said that as this was ancientwatercourse, he had clearly no right in law to do that. The law was quite clear that all persons having works on the banks of such a watercourse had a right to the free use of it; but they must permit all that was not so used to flow freely forward, and no man had a right to assume the command of the water, and suffer it to flow or not, as he might think proper, by erecting reservoirs or otherwise. The defendant had done that, and .by forcing it down an ovorflJw there had been an enormous loss of water, and the plaintiff's mill was thereby entirely deprived of water three months .in the year, and he was therefore entitled to a verdict. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN here interposed, and sug gested that as a verdict was all the plaintiff could get there, which would leave the injury still unredressed, it would be better to refer the matter to some one, giving him power to decide how the water should be enjoyed in future, and the injury complained of redressed. After a little demur on the part of the plaintiff's attor ney, that suggestion was finally adopted, and a verdict .was entered for the plaintiff, subject to an, award. The business of this assizes ended here before five o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Catherine Murphy was brought before Alderman Gibbs, charged with having committed the desperate assault described in the following evidence:— Mr. William Reynolds, of No. 39, Bishopsgate-street, draper, said Friday night, about seven o'elcck, the pri soner came into my shop and said she wanted to buy a dress. After the dress was cut off sho declared that she had paid for it. My wife, who had been serving her, called me forward, and the prisoner repeated that she had put down the money on the counter. I said, "If so it must be here; I'll clear the counter and look for it." I did so, bat no money was to be found. I then said I would send for a police-officer. The prisoner said, "What, send for a police-officer for me? I'll soon put a stop to that." I said certainly I would send for one, as I must learn where the money was. She immediately turned and struck me a violent blow on the head.- I had then no notion that she was armed with a knife; she ran hack and came towards me again, and I then observed a knife in her hand. I seized her wrist, and found that I was wounded in the hand. I called my wife, and she wrenched the knife from the prisoner's hand, and in the act got a slight cut in her own hand. The prisoner then turned and bit my arm severely. I found that I was wounded on the back of the neck, that I had two wounds on the back of the head, and one on the left temple. The back of my shirt was cut through, and I bled a consi derable quantity for about half an hour. I sent for a neighbour, who dressed the wounds, and afterwards I sent for a surgeon, who said the wounds were dressed so well he would not disturb them. Mrs. Reynolds (wife of the last witness) said when the prisoner came into the shop she pointed at a particular piece of printed cotton, and said she wanted six yards of that article. I cut her off the dress, and the prisoner then asked for three yards of calico fining. As I was folding up the goods I said to her they came to 4s. 3d. She said she had paid me. I said " I have never seen your money. Where did you put it?" Sho replied that she had laid it on the counter. I looked for it, but there was no money there. Alderman GIBBS—Were you so near to her as to be able to observe her closely? The witness—Certainly I was. I was close to her all the time, and had never seen any money in her possession, and up to this time there was no one in the shop but the prisoner and myself. I then called my husband, and told him what had taken place, and then he said he would send for a policeman. She flew at him, attacked and struck him. I ran to the door and called for assistance, and my husband called out, " She has a knife." I ran and took the knife from her. He was bleeding from the head at the time. A policeman arrived, and she was given into custody. I •assisted in washing the wounds. I found one on the back of the neck three inches in length, and two on the head, one of which is about two inches long. That wound bled profusely, as did the wound in the temple. Martha Murray said, I was sitting, about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, in Bishopsgate-street, taking care of my father's oyster-stall, when I observed the prisoner sitting on the kerb-stone, at the corner of Two-Swan yard. After two or three minutes I saw her sharpening on the stone a black-handled knife, which I believed to be the one produced by tho policeman. She then looked at the edge of the knife. She remained where I first saw her from an hour and a half t 3 two hours, occa sionally sharpening the knife, and examining it during the whole time. I then missed her, and I did not see her again until she passed in the custody of the police man, and I had never seen her before the time I first mentioned. John Scott (626) stated that when ho was called into the prosecutor's shop he found the prisoner and the pro secutor struggling together. Witness pulled her away, and detained her. She was afterwards secured, but she had no money of any kind in her possession. Alderman Grans then asked, in the usual manner, whether the prisoner wished to say anything. She replied, looking carelessly round,:" Nothing at all." The Alderman then committed the prisoner for hiving feloniously cut and maimed the prosecutor, with intent to do him some grevious bodily harm. GUILDHALL. Frederick Brittle and Thompson were c harged with obtaining goods by means of forged orders, and Edward Downer and James Hoare as being the receivers. Mr. Herepath, of St. Svvithin's-lane, appeared to pro secute, and Mr. Humphreys defended Downer and Hoare. Thomas Beekall, in the employ of Messrs. Blundel, Spence, and Co., colour-manufacturers, of 2, Upper Thames-street, said, that on the 3d of August an order was brought by Brittle, and be, by directions of on of the firm, (? -- -iivere:t fit'lja of v to ()„ 6th, the prisoner received two tons, of ten gallons each, of turps and oil. Brittle said they were for a Alm 1849, `i Brushfield, a customer of theirs. Yesterday the pri soner came a fourth time, and got another firkin of lead, weighing 30 41b. _ _ Alfred Green, 376, said that in consequence of infor mation ho received, he Followed the prisoner Brittle, who was drawing a truck through various streets, until he arrived at Compton-street, Clerkenwell, when he stopped at No. 44, and the prisoner Hoare came out and helped the lad Brittle to take the lead into the house, after which the latter left, followed by witness, till they arrived at St. Luke's Church, when he stopped and asked him if he had taken any lead to Compton. street. • Brittle immediately replied that he had, and the man who ordered him to do so would be there presently, as that was the place where ho was in the habit of meeting with him. After waiting some time, and find ing- the man did not come, he took Brittle back to Compton-street, and entered the shop, which was a ma rine store dealer's, and had the name of Hoare over the window. lie went in, and saw the prisoner Downer, who said he was master of the shop, but that his name was not Hoare, and that he was at his (Green's) service. On witness asking if ho had not received a cask of white lead a short time back, Downer said, " And pray who are you?" and being informed that he was an officer, he then denied all knowledge of the lead. At that moment, Hoare came up through a trap door in the shop, and on questioning him, he said he had lent money on it (the lead) to a man named William Johnson, but he could not tell where he lived, being in the habit of only calling occasionally. Witness then conveyed Brittle, Hoare, and-Downer to the station-house, leaving Meredith in charge of the house. On making a search, a vast quantity of property was discovered of all descrip tions, amongst which were 38 new brass cocks, marked " Twinieg's Patent," 1 large copper scoop, 2 pairs of new pincers, 2 packets of brass pulleys, 3 new door locks, with keys and handles, 20 brass fittings, 12 new farriers' rasps, 7 parcels of new files, 6 new chisels, 5 carpenters' planes, 2 marked " W. C. Boon," 1 marked " H. F.," 1 marked " C. Mitchelmore," 3 squares, one being marked " H. F.," 12 mortice chisels, 4 of thetn marked " C. Mitchelmore," and one ;narked " H. F.," 1 stock, 5 centre-bits, 6 carpenters' saws, 4 of them marked " H. F.," 1 eighteen-gallon copper, 1 copper boiler, 2 • roasting jacks, a piece of brown holland, 1 packet of brass tassel-hooks, 1 packet of colouring, and a light spring truck, painted green. Robert Meredith, 368, said that after the last witness had taken the prisoners into custody, Hoare's wife sent her son with him to point'out the man to whom the money was lent. On arriving at St. Luke's Church, he observed the'prisoner William Thompson standing there, but on seeing him and the lad approachin g he ran away. Witness overtook him and said that Mr. Hoare wanted to see him, and they all returned towards the shop in Compton-street; but when within about twenty yards of Hoare's; house, Thompson said ho was " down, and he did not care what became of him." At Hoard's house they (Green and witness) seized about 800 cwt. of pro perty, the most of which they supposed to be stolen. Mrs. Brushfield, of 198, Kingsla,nd•road, carrying on business as oil and colourman, said that she was in the habit of dealing with Messrs. Blundell and Co., but the orders produced were not in her handwriting, nor did she authorise any one to write any order. She knew none of the prisoners. 13oth Mr. ilurnfrey and Mr. Herepath addressed the Alderman, the former objecting to a remand, and the latter contending that there was quite 6uffieient evidence to justify such a course, as the goods which lied been obtained on all these occasions were found on the pre mises of Hoare, and with respect to Downer, he said he was master of the shop at first, but as soon as he ascer tained that Green was on officer, then he knew nothing. Alderman CARDEN he could not part with any of them. The prisoner Thompson hid been in prison be fore, and his reel name was William Church, and he could not help thinking that fr,m his appearance, Hoare and Downer must have known that he did not come by them honestly, and that the articles iu question were stolen property. He should remand the case until Wed nesday, and refuse to take bail, for there was little doubt that at the next examination there would be plenty of owners for the rest of the property. WESTMINS7'ER. Mr. John Daly, of No. 4, Providence-place, Vauxhall road, surgeon, was charged with tho following serious robbery:— Mr. - Moses Morgan, of No. 40. "Millbank-street, West minster, chemist, stated that on Monday week he left London in company with the prisoner, and proceeded to I Aberdeen, where they arrived on Wednesday, the Ist of August. After dining they engaged a sleeping-room between them at Mrs. Drummond's, a private house, No. 17, Upper Kirkgate. Late in the evening they went into a tavern and had two bottles of Scotch ale, and while drinking it the prosecutor made a remark to the prisoner that the liquor ta.sted:as though it had laudanum in it. They then proceeded to their lodgings, between ten and eleven o'clock, and, being in a strange place, the prosecutor, not content with the ordinary fastening of the door, placed a chair between it and the foot of the bedstead, so that no person could enter unless the chair was removed by some person inside. The prosecutor having placed his waistcoat, containing a 201. note and five 51. notes, under his pillow, his gold watch upon the table, and his trousers, containing some sovereigns and silver, on a chair, went to bed and fell asleep, the prisoner at that time sitting up in the same room smok ing. Oa awaking, at four o'clock in the morning, he found the prisoner gone, and also his notes, the waist coat having been removed from under his pillow, his watch, the money from his trousers, and the numbers of the notes from his card-case, which he had left in his coat-pocket. He immediately instituted inquiries, and found that a person answering the prisoner's description had started from Aberdeen by the mail at twelve o'clock on the night of the robbery. The prisoner had never expressed the slightest intention of leaving Scotland, but was to have continued with the prosecutor and returned with him to London on the Saturday following. On Sa turd iy the prisoner was apprehended by Sergeant Fos ter, B division, at his own residence, who found at the house 24 sovereigns and several papers and letters, one bearing the Edinburgh postmark. Mr. Russell, the superintendent of the B division, said, as the case must ultimately go to Aberdeen, the prisoner had better be remanded for a few days, by which time sufficient evidence would be obtained for the authorities at Aberdeen to commit upon. Mr. BURRELL acquiesced, and remanded the prisoner until Thursday. DEPARTURE OF THE COUNTESS OF LANDSFELDT AND MR. HEALD. As soon as the proceedingsl at Marlborough-street Police Court were ended, the Countess of Landsfeldt and Mr. Heald resumed their preparations for a continental visit, which the appearance of the police had interrupted, with great alacrity, and in a few hours were on the:South-Eastern Railway, with their luggage ,marked " Cadiz." Some surprise has been expressed at the tranquil and subdued demeanour of the Countess when before the magistrate. From the lady's exciteable temperament, a " scene" was looked for, but this did not occur, probably because it had already taken place in the house in Half-Moon-street when the officers made their appearance and an nounced the object of their visit to the lady. The officers, we understand, had orders to be in attendance to meet the solicitor and Mrs. Heald at half-past eight o'cl,,ck, in Half Moon-street, in order .that no mistake might occur in the execution of the warrant. Apparently the lady and her spouse had a correct notion of the proceedings which bad been commenced by the aunt, for preparations for packing up were concluded, and the travelling carriage was at the door by nine o'clock on Monday. morning. The officers were about to relinquish their object, as the Countess had entered the passage, just before steppine , into the travelling carriage, when a cab Caine into the street, and in it were the solicitor and the aunt, who had been somewhat delayed' on their journey. The officers, accompanied by the solicitor and the aunt, immediately entered the house, and on seeing Mr. Heald, who was personally known to the officers, from the circumstance of their having been employed by Mr. Heald in a case of robbery by his servant, they mentioned the disagreeable purport of their visit. The Countess of Lansfeldt was immediately after wards informed that she must consider herself in custody, upon which the energetic nature of the lady shone forth instantaneously. The Countess exhibited all the appearance of excessive passion, using strong phrases both in French and English, hustling her husband about vigorously, pushing Mrs. Heald on one side, and kicking two or three favourite dogs right and left. The officers waited until the storm subsided, and then declared they must do their duty. The lady was again in a fiery mood, said she always carried poison about her, at the same time pointing to a small pocket in her dress, apparently containing a phial, and that she could easily destroy herself if mo lested. At length a calm succeeded, and the husband was dispatched to get the company of Capt. Osborne, or Lord Brougham, the latter Learned Lord having, as asserted by the Countess, procured her a regular divorce from Captain James. Tee Countess of Landsfeldt was then taken to the Vine-street station-house in order to have the charge booked. By this time the Countess had cooled down completely. She was very gracious with the inspectors and superintendent, and after apo logizing for the trouble she bad given, begged permis sion to light a cigar. The superintendent declared it was against the regulations. The Countess would not be refused, and having politely expressed her re gret that the superintendent would not join her in a social whiff, lighted a cigar and smoked herself into MARRIED. a pt perfect good humour. The Countess is reported to be On the Bth inst., at East Lavant Church, the Rev. vy so devoted to this somewhat masculine pastime as to Stacey, Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge, secon4lo, indulge in the luxury in bed every morning, of J.

Io.—There was a fair attendance of town aid country millers at our market yesterday. Wheat and flour were both taken sparingly, and on the former a decline of about a Id per bushel was submitted to. The inferior grades of flour were also 6d per barrel cheaper. Oats and oatmeal both very dull. Brans and peas remain as quoted on Tuesday. Indian corn im proved 61 per quarter, and was in large demand, and the lowest point seems to have been touched for the pre sent. The weather is unsettled, and holders to-day re quire full prices for each•article. s. d. 8. d. s. d. s. d.

The first sample of new wheat was produced in the market. Business generally was dull, farmers being. busy at home, pre paring for or commcneing the grain harvest. In old English wheat 18s must be quoted as the highest price per bag for English; foreign, 5s to 55 6d per bushel. Grinding barley, 3s 4d; and malting, 3s 61; malt, 8s to 9a 6d. Old English oats, 3s 6d to 3s 8d; and Irish, 3s 4d par bushel. English beans averaged ss, and foreign about 4s 6d per bushel. , Gray peas, 4s to 4s 6d, and boilers, 5s to 5s 6d per bushel. At Stourbridge market yesterday a capital sample of new wheat was exhi bited. • Prices were on the decline. Wheat was, - if anything, lower, the pricks running from 17s to 18s per bag of three bushels: Barley, 3s 3d to 3s 6d per bushel, according to the quality of the article. Beans 3a 41 per bushel, and oats end peas not inquired for. Stratford-on-Avon market yesterday was pretty well attended, but prices had a downward tendency as else where. The weather being fine, millers only bought from hand to mouth, and business was limited. Wheat was from 16s to 17s per bag, the former being the cur rent price for red, and the latter for white. Barley averaged 27s per quarter. Oats fetched about a guinea per quarter, and little inquired for. Beaus about 12s 6d par bag of three bushels. COLCHESTER, AUG. 11.—The prospects and progress of the harvest, which are exceedingly favourable, have had a considerable influence this week upon the markets of the district. Though the farmers, being engaged in the fields, have by no means sent large supplies into the markets, the prices of all articles have considerably de clined. The reduction in wheat in this market to -day was from 2s to 3s per quarter, and at Chelmsford yes terday 3s to 4s, with a dull trade even at these rates. At the latter market the finest samples of the best white wheat would not realise more than 50s per quarter. Peas are cheaper. A few samples of the new crop have made their appearance, and have been sold at 31s per quarter. A sample or two of new barley have also made their appearance, of tolerable quality. .The trade in this article is dull. I❑ Suffolk the markets are also considerably lower. At Ipswich the wheat trade was al most in a stagnant state. Pens were offered. at 2s to 35 per quarter cheaper. At Bury and Woodbridge wheat was 2s lower. At Stowmarket on Thursday wheat was dull of sale; at the same decline. A few exceedingly fine samples of the new crop of barley made their ap pearance. GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, AUGUST 9,—At our market to day there were —oxen, 635; sheep, 1,913; lambs, 5,250. Owing to the large supply of cattle, and and on account of the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering, sales were slowly effected at a reduction compared with last week of 23 per cwt. Best qualiLY brought 48 s per cwt, middling quality from 42s to 4. 51 per do. and inferior cows 385 per do; best aged wethers , 511 per lb, current 4d to 4id per do; best lambs, 1 43 per head, second kind 8s to Ils, inferior from 3s to 75. .Part of cattle and sheep turned out unsold. CORK, AuG. 10.—The trade during the week has been excessively dull—that in Indian corn especially so, an', to such an extent as fully to ju s tify th e w i tty remar k . C' the juror on a late record, that " all round corn is fist 51 present." Should the potato crop realise the sanguine expectations now entertained respecting it we believe We may with safety assert that maize is nut likely to mee t any improvement at this aide of Christmas, but that on the contrary it will recede still further in value. We have again rather large arrivals of foreign grain, principally mmaize. Witt t' e exception of oats, whi c h a re, even at . this early period, beginning to come in freely (the. little eeipts this week being 615 barrels) we have but Italy home-grown grain offering. In prepared and foreign wheat we have had but few transactions, at a decline 9 1 6d per barrel from last week's rates. The stocks of 05t 3 are narrowed to a mere trifle, while the business passing is of the most 'retail character. Indian corn has again declined in value, and is so unsaleabl e as t o ren d er , . cxtre rely difficult to give quotations correctly. We b e " lieve that if purchasers could be found 6/ per ton would be readily accepted. We still experience a mere con sumptive demand for flour, but without any change is the value of the article. Stocks continue very low, and tho supply is still light.
