P sh d 22:5 We are authorised to contradict the statements made in several papers in regard to the magnificent Highland brooch worn by the Queen at Taymouth. It was, as we former.ly stated, submitted for her Ma jesty's inspection by the Iron. Mrs. Maule, and pur chased from our active and intelligent townsman, Mr. Macgregor, by the Queen's directions.—Perth Paper. ', - ?/PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.- , -The official publication of the Re venue Accounts is looked to by men of all parties as a faithful index to the condition of the country. The impetuosity of partizanship too frequently induces a disregard of facts. Declamation is substituted for argument ; and rumours, fre . - quently unfounded, are made to assume the character and importance of ascertained truth. The authenticated statement appears, and the de ception is detected. For this reason we abstained from giving publicity to the reports that were in circulation during the last week, respecting the fearful exhibition which the quarterly statement of the Revenue would present. With the knowledge that an amount of duty of at least a million ster ling had been received in the Customs depart ment on the importation.of corn alone; and that the newly-imposed Income-tax, levied on the Midsummer dividends and on the salaries of the public servants in all the official departments, must realise not less than 300,0001., we could not credit the reports which prevailed in usually well informed quarters, that the forthcoming official statement would present a decrease in the re ceipts. The prediction was in itself so improba ble, and the motive which would have been hn puted to the publication of the error, should it so prove, so injurious, that we chose rather to wait the event, than to incur the responsibility of alarming the public apprehensions by giving addi tional circulation to unauthenticated and impro• bable reports. The official accounts have set speculation at rest; and we regret to state, con firmed to the fullest extent the rumours of de falcation in the public receipts, notwithstanding the large amount received by the Customs during the quarter on the account of corn, and which, under the " sliding-scale," is an accident, and not an essential ingredient of the revenue; and the amount received under the operation of the iniquitous and oppressive Income-tax. • Despite of these appliances and means of increase, the quarter's accounts (the details .of which will be found in another column) present a fearful dinii nution! STANDARD.—The revenue returns for the year and the quarter respectively ending yes terday, have been made up. The last year, as compared with the year preceding, presents an increase of 355,981/. ; the last quarter, as coin- pared with the quarter ending October 10, 1841, a decrease of 67,4731. It would be wilfully to deceive ourselves and our readers to treat this result as satisfactory - , considered absolutely; but it is only right to say, that the appearance is worse than the truth of the circumstances warrants, and that things might have been much worse, and, as we were proceeding up to the summer of 1841, must have become much worse. First, the comparison of the several quarters ending on the 10th of October, 1841-1842, is a very unfavourable comparison for the latter. The October quarter of last year embraced a general election, always an occasion of,extra ordinary expenditure, and, as will be seen by the table, exceeded the preceding quarter by a million and a half—the April quarter by nearly two millions. The quarter ending yester day, on the other hand, comprised a very extensive insurrection, which, though formidable to nothing else, was certainly formidable Co the Excise from the shape it took of a cessation from labour, and, of course, from expenditure, on the part of the insurgents, as well as from the shock which it necessarily gave to the credit and commerce of the districts dis turbed. These circumstances of difference will go a great way in accounting for the falling off in the last quarter, which was mainly in the Excise, Stamps, and Taxes. There is, how ever, another, and a more important view of the state of the population suggested by the return before us. The Excise revenue, and every other branch of revenue which . depends upon general consumption, has been steadily diminishing since the New Poor-law Bill came into operation. This surely cannot be the effect of accident; this surely must demonstrate to all men not utterly stupified by the nonsense of the Malthusian economists, that there is something financially wrong iu the change—something that affects injuriously classes which once imagined themselves secure from the reflection of blows administered to mere labourers—classes that lately would feel indignant at the hypothesis of any supposed identity between their in terests and the interests of the poor. There is another important fact established by the late returns, to which we invite the attention of those Conservatives who have been disposed to cavil at Sir Robert Peel's financial system, and more particularly at the Property-tax. It is easy to say that a Property-tax is burdensome, inquisitorial, humiliating, though none can pre tend that is unjust ; but easy as it is to quarrel with the accidents, of this, which is, in its essence, the most just of all forms of taxa tion, still the plain blunt question re mains, what was the Minister to do? Every man who has the use of his eyes, and of his reason, must see from the tables be fore us that the limits of indirect taxation (see the Excise returns) had been passed, and that the limits of such quasi indirect taxation as the Assessed Taxes had been, at least, arrived at. What resource, then, had the Minister, if it was not a Property-tax .' He might, no doubt have imitated the attempt of the late Ministers, and of the swindlers whose exploits supply the po lice reports, by wriggling for a few years from scheme to scheme, " victimising," as the phrase Is, one interest after another, but in the end it must come to this—a Property-tax, anda Property-tax not like the present, in aid of many other sources of revenue, but a Property-tax commensurate with the whole national expendi ture ; and such. a Property-tax we need not say would ultimately resolve itself into a contribu bution from capital, and. not from income. This the proprietary classes themselves must admit, if they cannot show some source of indirect taxa tion that would supply the growing deficiency in the public income. THE LONDON GAZETTE.

(Signed) G. POLLOCK, Major-General. FROM BRIGADIER MONTEATH, C. 8., COMMANDING FIELD FORCE, TO CAPTAIN PONSONBY, ASSISTANT ADJUTANT • GENERAL. • Camp, Mazeena, July 27, 1842. Sir—l have the honour of addressing you to state for the information of Major-General Pollock ' C. 8., that in accordance with the intention expressed by me in my letter of the 24th inst., I marched out yesterday morning at daylight to attack the enemy with the following troops and guns : Five 9-pounders, one 24-pounder howitzer, 50 Sappers and Miners, one squadron lgt Light Cavalry, seven com panies her Majesty's 31st Regiment, seven companies 33d N. 1., seven companies 53d N. 1., and Ferris's corps of Jezailchees. As the road into the enemy's country was nearly im practicable for loaded animals, and we must have lost a great many camels had. I attempted to move with our baggage, I resolved on returning to my present position after the operations I had in view had been concluded ; therefore, having compressed the camp as much as pos sible by striking a portion of it, and collecting the tents and baggage on one spot, I left it in charge of Major Hewitt, 33d Regiment, with the following trolps:— . Two companies of her Majesty's 31st Regiment, ditto 33d Native Infantry, ditto 53d Native Infantry, two squadrons of light cavalry, 50 Jezailchees, and 100 of Torabaz Khan's men. On the troops gaining the left ridge of the Shinwaree Valley, which was the most practicable, the enemy re tired out of their forts, and I detached Lieutenant Beecher, of the corps of Engineers, with the sappers and miners, to set fire to them. which he did in succession up to the fort of Secunder Khan, at the head of the valley, the force moving parallel along the ridge for the protec tion of the party. Thus, at one time the interiors of 35 forts were in a blaze along the valley, the enemy con templating the scene from the heights in the vicinity of Secunder Khan's fort, where they had taken positions, and from whence they were driven in gallant style by the advance, consisting of the Light and two battalion com panies of her Majesty's 31st regiment. At this moment the guns, having been brought into position by Captain Abbott, opened a fro of shrapnell shells upon them, which did considerable exectition, and so disconcerted iem, that parties left the field altogether and never returned. _ _ Having effected everything in the way of destruction, I caused two companies of the 53d Regiment to be ex tended along a ridge below that from whence the ad vance had driven the enemy, and of which it remained in possession. In rear of the companies of the 53d a com pany of the 33d was extended along the top of another ridge, and in the rear of that company, on a higher ridge, two guns were placed in position, to aid in cover• ing the retirement of the advance from the enemy, who were all ready to attack them, as soon as they should commence their descent from the heights. On these ar rangements being completed, the recal was sounded to the advance, and. I am happy to say, the whole joined the main body, without a single casualty occurring. Major Skinner's party being exceedingly fatigued, for the heat had been excessive and the labour great, I di rected them to fall in with the main column, and ordered out two companies from each of the three regiments to cover our retrogression homewards. These were formed into two parties, and extended across the ridge in two lines of skirmishers. In rear of the second line I placed tilo guns, with a company of her Majesty's 31st Regi ment flanking each of them, also a party of forty cavalry, and a line of skirmishers was thrown out along the whole right flank of the coltimn to the edge of the ridge (where the ground from its broken character was most favourable for the enemy), and which communicated with the rear line of the covering force placed under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bolton, of her Majesty's 31st Regiment, at his own solicitation. In this order we retired seven miles and a-half over as bad a road as can well, be supposed, and although I had anticipated loss and great annoyance from the enemy throughout the march, yet it seemed as if they had had enough, as their attacks were languid and remarkably cautious throughout, and I am rejoiced to say, that at half-past three p.m. we arrived in camp wahout loss or injury of any kind. It gives me great pleasure to record the zealous con duct of the troops generally, and the cheerful and praise worthy manner in which the soldiers of her Majesty's 31st Re g iment laboured to dra g th e guns u p suc h pl aces as the horses, notwithstanding their unequalled qualities, were incapable of doing. Herewith I beg to enclose Major Skinner's report, and I can myself bear ample testimony to the gallant con duct of himself, and those under his command, and I should be unjust were I not to say that the conduct of Captain Ferris; his native commandant, Hyder Ali, and the whole corps ofjezailchees was highly distinguished. My thanks are are very justly due to Lieutenant-Co lonel Bolton, her Majesty's 31st. Regiment, for the able manner in which he conducted the duties of coveting- the retirement of the force, and particularly so to Major Skinner, for the zealous and gallant manner in which be led the advance against the enemy ;—to Captain Ferris, for the gallant manner in which, with his corps of Jezail chees, he drove the enemy from their position on the heights ;—to Captain Abbott and Lieutenant Dawes, for the very successful practice of the guns ;—to Lieutenant Beecher, for the zealous and satisfactory manner in which he, with the detachment of Sappers and Miners, con structed a road for the guns, and fired the enemy's forts in the valley ; and to Lieutenant Lugard, her Majesty's 31st Regiment, Major of Brigade ; Lieutenant Mayne, Assistant-Quartermaster-General ; Captain Lloyd, Sub- Assistant-Cotnmissary-General ; and Captain Robert son, Field Engineer, for the assistance afforded me by them in the field I have also to express my thanks to Captain M‘Gregor, Political Agent, who, when the opportunity offered itself, served with the guns. Inclosed is a return of killed and wounded of the force employed, and one of ammunition expended.—l have, &c., T. MONTEATH, Brigadier, Command ing the Field Force. FROM MAJOR SKINNER TO BRIGADIER MONTEATH, C.Bi Camp Mazeena, 27th July, 1842. Sir—l have the honour to report to you, that when the advance guard, composed of the following details, viz. :—the eight light companies of the brigade, with two battalion companies of her Majesty's 31st Regiment, and the corps of Jezaikhees, reached the crest of the ridge over which the main column was moving abotu, eight o'clock A.M., I observed the enemy posted in small bodies upon the different heights and ridges in my front, while several parties occupied gardens and broken walls at the foot of the line of hills I was upon, above the valley on the right hand. A sharp fire was opened upon the line of skirmishers, who quickly advanced and drove the enemy off. The corps of Jezailchees swept the front, the left hills were cleared by the light company of the 31st Foot ; and the light company of the 33d Native Infantry on the right skirmished throughout that part of the valley nearest the ridge : the remaining companies were in Support. We advanced to Secunder Khan's Fort " Muriaz" over very broken and difficult country, with.frequent descents and ascents, the enemy sometimes keeping up a good fire, but always abandoning the lines of heights as we ascended, and falling back to others. I halted at Secunder Khan's Fort, from which a few shots were fired as we advanced, when it was evacuated. This fort hangs over a narrow valley on the right hand, fields of rice in many parts of it now under water. A narrow stony ridge in the midst of this valley was occupied by the enemy, and commanded the post among trees at the foot of the fort, which I wished to hold ; the enemy eebssasunder was krnydet ort s o o c aon Captain tidri drive driven higher e e trh n o Ferris epme ff i; t c h ,it n e fhrivosfirstemry was Ngv p arthodoiocdhno done by style,itbth etrchwi became hm g t e an d fell izaiael ils ido. fenehelcel it till withdrawn. At the head of the valley in which we now were, stands a high hill with a fort upon its summit, a considerable distance off. All the ridges from which the enemy had been driven appear to draw to a point at this fort, and their retreat was always towards it. Alany men were collected there, and large parties were sent out to my right ; this induced me to draw the companies of the 31st Foot on the left, nearer to me. The enemy soon appearing on the summit of a hill above my left, however, I sent one company of the 31st Regiment to drive him away and occupy the hill. This duty was remarkably well performed by Captain Mar shall, of her Majesty's 31st Regiment, whose company was employed upon it. The enemy retreated with some loss, and took up another position under cover of a sungah or breastwork of stone within shot. He was driven from it with great gallantry by Lieut. A.l.llveen, of the 31st Regiment, and a party of No. 7 Company of that corps. Lieut. M'llveen, a very promising young officer indeed, was, I regret to say, killed in this assault upon the sungah. A narrow valley of rice fields, completely swamped, separated the ridge, on which my right was, from two small forts ; a garden at one end of the rice valley below the ridge towards the first of the two forts was held by the light company of the 33d Native Infantry ; the enemy descended rrom a high line of sand hills, and occupying these two forts, annoyed my position a good deal. He was driven from them by the light company and Part of No. 6 of the 31st Regiment, who had no other ground to advance on but the narrow ridges that di vided the terraces of rice ; they moved along these under a sharp fire, and drove the enemy from his position. I occupied these forts, and leaving Brevet Major Urmston, of the 31st Regiment, in command of the post, ceased from further operations. None of the forts I have men tioned were tenable by the enemy, the walls were breached in many places by the earthquake in February last. When I was ordered to fall back on the main body, about half-past one P.M., Major Urmston retired in good order (followed at a distance by the enemy, who had fired constantly into the forts when we occupied them) h e having left t s h e e t m fi . r e t o over the v t i h n e a g d e i s tfi N c v u i t l h t n g ground bed o be fo h r i n ts d The advance guard, being collected together above b e h f i o m r Seconder Khan's fort, joined the main column. I have great pleasure in assuring you that, during several hours of the most active operations over the difficult country we were in, every officer and man under my command behaved admirably.—l have, &c., THOMAS SKINNER, Major her Majesty's 31st Regiment.

RECINED.—The market has presented a dull appear ance for Refined Goods, and prices have further declined. To-day the Grocers purchased Refined Sugar sparingly, and prices are still on the decline, standard lumps 74s 6d to 755, and brown grocery 72s to 73s per cwt. Pieces and Bastards were little asked for, but trade met with a good sale at 23s 6d to 30s 6d. Bonded Crushed Sugar sells freely at former rates. AIAITILITIUS.—Previous rates have been sustained. This afternoon buyers came forward with more alacrity, and 5,238 bags at public sale were all disposed of at full rates,—fine yellow fetched 65s to 65s 6d, good mid to good 60s to 645, mid 56s to 59s 6d, low 54s to 55s 6d, mid to fine brown 50s to 545, low 47s to 49s 6:1 per cwt.

FOREIGN.—Holders of all descriptions are firm, and supply the market sparingly. To-day there was no public sale, and little business was done by private treaty in either Brazil cr Havannah, but holder remain firm and very few parcels are on the market ; 1,200 boxes Havannah are declared for auction. A.loLA.ssEs.—For West India steady rates have been paid. St. Lucia 265, and Dominica and Montserrat 28s to 295. Bengal Syrup at 24s to 25s 6d, and Foreign Molasses at 7 o to 7s fki per cwt.

Fo reign is firm in price. TEA.—The market has been in a dull state since our last report, and the transactions in both black and green descriptions have been upon a very small scale, but holders generally are unwilling to further give way in price. To-day the business transacted in the Tea market was extremely limited, the attention of the trade being di rected to the large public sales declared, and prices are looking downward ; sound common Congou cash cannot be quoted above Is 7d per lb. The cause of the heavi ness in tha market is to be attributed to the large Fr eels that have and are still to be brought to public sale, indeed the quantity is much larger than the wants of the trade. SPlCES.—Advanced rates for Cassia Lignea, at 91s to 91s 6d for middling, and ordinary quality 85.

Town Tallow has been in brisk request at Ms to 51s 6d nett cash. This afternoon the demand was excellent for P. Y. Candle, and prices are still on the advance ; sales of old P. Y. Candle on the spot were made at 48s 3d, new 48s 9d, and for delivery at 48s 6d to 48s 9d per cwt. We are happy to mention that two of the officers who have been long reckoned amongst those who had fallen, are now known to be alive; these _are Doctors Campbell and Bryce. The former is safe at Caubul with the hostages. It appears that when it was de cided to leave some medical officer in charge of the sick, and wounded remaining at Caubul, lots were drawn for the purpose, and the chance fell to a married man, when Dr. Campbell came forward and volunteered to relieve him ; as he shook hands with his brother offi cers of his corps at the gates of the cantonment, they gave him to understand that they looked upon him as devoted to destruction, little thinking how much nearer was their own fate. As regards Dr. Bryce, a sepoy of the 54th regiment came into Brigadier Men teith's camp on the 18th July; he had been confined in a fort in the neighbourhood, and states that Dr. Bryce had been a prisoner in the same fort, but that he had been taken away further into the hills about a fortnight before.—Overland Calcutta Star. SERIOUS AFFAlR.—Yesterday two carters belong ing to Portobello, one of them named Purves the other Fife, brought a case before the Sheriff Small Debt Court, originating in some dispute regarding the sale or exchange of a horse. The case was de cided in favour of Fife; which so irritated Purves, that on the way home to Portobello, towards which the parties on both sides appear to have come almost in company, he called in at Bo wden's public-house, in Piershill, and requested the ban of a gun and flask of powder, pretending that he was going to shoot rats. It would appear that Purves then stopped on the road to load the gun, putting in small gravel stones instead of shot; and coming up to Fife near the Abercorn Brick and Tile-work at the entrance to Portobello, ' he levelled the gun and fired at him, wounding him in the left arm. Surgical assistance was immediately procured for the poor man; and Purves was taken into custody, and brought into the town by police constable Home of Portobello. The matter is at pre sent under investigation.—Scotsman. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. A young woman, named Selina Jefferies, was brought before Sir Chapman Marshall, charged with having maliciously broken a pane of glass, value 101., in the shop of Messrs. Wills and Wathen, haber dashers, in the Poultry. One of the shopmen of the prosecutors stated that the prisoner, who had been prowling about the pre mises for some time, at last entered the shop, and said, " Do you remember giving me three months ?" after which she flung a large stone at the plate-glass, and smashed it. The prisoner had been, about four months ago, tried at the Central Criminal Court for stealing some stockings out of the shop, convicted, and sentenced to imprisonment for three months. When she broke the glass she made no attempt to get away, but quietly accompanied the policeman to prison. - Sir C. MARSHALL asked whether the prisoner wished to say anything on the subject ? The prisoner shook her head in the negative. Sir C. MARSHALL—Is there anything the matter with her mind ? The girl laughed, and said, " Not a bit of it." The prosecutors said they considered her a most dangerous woman, and that she had threatened some desperate mischief against their shopman, towards whom she appeared to be highly exasperated. Sir C. MARSHALL—Prisoner, this sort of conduct can do you no service, and it inflicts a serious injury on the shopkeepers. Prisoner—Oh, dear ! The shopman said he apprehended the worst from the violence of such a fury. The prisoner smiled and nodded her intention to do more mischief. The ALDERMAN then convicted the prisoner, and sentenced her to imprisonment for three months, the utmost penalty he could inflict ; and directed the shopman to appear as soon as the term of her impri sonment should expire, and exhibit articles of the peace against her. On returning from the Justice-room the woman said she would find a way to serve the young man out. Two fellows, named Hawkins and Walden, who had the appearance of ehimney-sweepers. were I, rnflr..ht up charged with having committed a number of rob beries. It was stated to be the practice of the prisoners to call at respectable houses and say they came from the master chimney-sweeper usually employed in the neighbourhood, and thus gain admission at a very early hour in the morning, when the moment they en tered they set about plundering. In one instance they stole four table spoons; in another, plate to the value of 131.; and in a third, some cloths which were de posited about the premises. Several of the police knew Malden to be an inve terate thief, called "Black Bill Smith." The parties who had been plundered not having had time to produce the necessary evidence, the pri soners were remanded. They said it was all a mis take, and that it was quite easy to fancy one man with a black face to be like another. John Weldon was charged with having had about him Blbs. of smuggled tobacco. lle pleaded guilty, and was fined 1001. Philip Lowder, a waterman of respectable charac ter, was charged with having had in his possession some French silk dresses, upon which the duty had not been paid. He pleaded not guilty. James Gordon, an officer of the Customs, stated that between eight and nine o'clock on the morning of the 17th of last month, he saw the defendant go with a bundle into a public•house called the King's Arms. Witness followed him, and asked him what he had brought in. He replied that he had nothing; but upon being pressed produced the bundle contain ing the silk dresses. The LORD MAYOR asked for what penalty the So licitor of the Customs sought, and on being informed merely for the sum of 9/. 7s. 10d., a third of the value of the silks and the duty, desired the defendant to ac count for the possession. _ _ The defendant declared that he had been employed by four tailors, who had gone off to Hull, to convey a cart-load of goods for them, and to leave the bundle, of the contents of which he knew nothing, at the public-house. He assured the Bench that he was a victim. The LORD MAYOR thought the defendant was a very knowing victim ; but as the Commissioners would be satisfied with the moderate penalty, he and Sir Chapman Marshall did nut wish to inflict a more severe one. IRELAND. VICE-REGAL COURT. DUnLIN, OCT. 7.—The death of the gallant Sir L. Cole, brother to the Countess de Grey, will cause a temporary suspension of the Viceregal fes tivities, which had commenced for the winter season. There was to have been a field-day of all the regi ments in garrison this forenoon, at which his Excel lency the Lord-Lieutenant was expected to be pre sent, but at ten o'clock the order was countermanded, and the troops returned to their quarters. COMMAND OF THE ARMY IN IRELAND.—The Even ing Mail denies on authority the report of the ap pointment of Lord Greenock to the command Of the army in Ireland, in succession to the gallant and popular officer who at present fills that important office. TIIE OPERATION OF THE TARIFF. THE BOYLE FAlR.—This fair was held here to-day. The prices obtained by the few persons who sold have proved most disheartening. There was an ex tensive supply of cattle ; but the prices offered did not generally amount to the sum paid for the same stock last November or May. The only lot of bul locks which we heard were sold were those belonging to Mr. Denis. This gentleman disposed of 20 (out of a lot of 30) at 10/. 7s. 6d. each, althoug.h he re fused, on the 4th of April last, 11/. ss. each for the entire lot. Fat sheep sold at from 355. to 40s. ; lambs, from 18s. to 225. ; milch cows, from 8/. to 10/. ; fat cows, from 8/. to 9/. A few horses wer e di spose d of at from 8/. to 201. Pigs were very low. Wool brought 16s. per stone.—Boyle Gazette. LISBURN PAIR.—The autumn fair of Lisburn was held yesterday. The show of horses was greatly in ferior to that of other years. There were a few hand.- some young horses, adapted for saddle or harness, offered for sale, but most of the buyers of the English market having gone to the great fair of Bal linasloe, very few, even of the lowest description, changed hands. The show of cattle in Smithfield market was very large. Owing, however, to the curious feeling at pre s ent ex i s ti ng b e t ween th e farmer and dealer, comparatively trifling sales were effected. Some prime springers went off at from 101. to 121. Fat heifers were in pretty good demand, and brought fair prices • but inferior cattle of all descriptions were scarcely looked at, and were disposed of at very low rates. ORCIIARD.—This fair was held on Monday last. There was a very large show of sheep and lambs, and a good supply of horned cattle. The fair, on the whole, ruled dull, owing to the continued provalence of distemper as well as the tariff, both contributing; to keep back buyers. Prices ranged as follows :—Si ;ore wethers, 255. to 345.: maiden ewes, 265. to 3. as.; lambs, 335. (top price) ; tups, 3/. to 10 guineas. _Fat cattle scarce and dull. _Mich cows scarce; such as appeared sold well. Well bred Durham heifers, mie year and a half old, fetched from 4/. to 61. 10s.; wean lings ditto, from V. 10s. to 41. 10s. The principal part of the stock exhibited was very superior. At this fair, and that of Castledermot a few days previously, the best stock sold at a reduction of fully 3/. per head, and inferior nearly one-half less than this time twelve months, with considerable difficulty of making sales even at this reduction.—Kilkenny Journal. NEWCASTLE.-At the fair of Newcastle on Monday there was rather a small show of stock ; fat cows were scarce and rated from 8/. to 11/. ; milch cows averaged from 71. to 101. 10s. ; weanling calves, 21. to to 21. 10s. • sheep, 19s. to 545. ; weighty bacon pigs in very bad demand, but light ones were purchased at 325. to 355. ; store pigs, 255. to 40s.—Limerick Chronicle. BALLINASLOE FAIR. A .correspondent, writing on the 6th inst., says, "The sheep fair is now over, and the prices for good stock cannot, after all, be complained of: in inferior _sheep, however, there was a great reduction. The numbers exhibited were only about 7,000 less than last year. This day there was a good display of horses, and some brought high prices." The follow ing apparently carefully-computed statement of the result of the sheep fair is given by the correspondent of the Mercantile Advertiser:— " BALLINASLOE, OCT. 6.—1 have succeeded in ob taining the most accurate information of the sheep fair on Tuesday and yesterday. I shall begin by contrasting the returns of the last and the pre sent year : " Number sold the 4th and sth October, 1841 69,438 " Unsold 7,061 " Total " Number sold the 4th and sth October, 1842 " Unsold 12,177 " Total 74,586 "The final results will not be recorded until the end of the week, as further sales of sheep, of an in ferior description, will take place up to Saturday. Top wethers and ewes, in very good condition, brought nearly last year's prices. Mr. Robert D'Arcy, of Woodville, Loughrea, sold 1,300 wethers, at prices varying from 41s. to 515., and. he states that he is as well off as he was from last year's sales, but lam not aware of another instance of the kind. Mr. James Smyth, of Loughrea, sold 1,600 sheep. For 200 top wethers he obtained 51s. 6d. each. He rea lised last year, for the same description, 525. 6d. Mr. Hugh O'Loghlin, jun., of Gort, sold 100 ewes at 225. 6d., and 100 ewes at 20s. a head. He expected at home 295. Mr. Butler, of Bunahon, sold 200 wethers at 295.; last year he realised about 335. The same gentleman sold 200 ewes at 21s. ; last year he realised 255. to 265. for the same description. He sent home 200 sheep. From parties wilo arp well informed as to the results of the sheep fair up to yesterday evening, the following report has been ob tained :—Top wethers, 51s. 6d. to 40s.—ls: 6d. to 2s. under last year ; inferior do., 345. to 265.-3 s. to Gs. do. Top ewes, 345. to 295.-3 s. to 4s. do. ; in ferior do., 265. to 18s.-3s. to 6s. do. The horse fair is held this day. There are a considerable number of horses on the ground, and for those of a good de scription high prices are expected, there being a de mand for such. Much apprehension prevails as to the results of the cattle fair to be held to• morrow, and the holders fear they will have to part with their stock at a reduction of from 2/. to Si. a head under last year's prices." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. MONDAY AFTERNOON.—The numerous additions that the racing stables have received in the course of the last two or three days, the fulness of the entries for the Plates and Handicap runs this afternoon, the continued fineness of the weather, and the appearance on the heath of a very large and fashionable assemblage, give us most satisfactory assurance that the Meeting will fail in none of the essentials to success. The first race this afternoon was fixed for half-past twelve -- rather earlier than usual on the first day of a Meeting, but not too early to interrupt the customary routine. The exercise ground was crowded at the usual hour, and an im mense number of horses were out ; breakfast followed, and at eleven the ring was formed in front of the rooms ; the Cesarewitch, of course, was the only event speculated upon to any extent. The prices up to twelve o'clock, at which hour an adjournment was moved and carried, were 7 to 2 agst Belissima, 10 to 1 agst Heslington, 12 to 2 agst Portrait, 14 to 1 agst Arcanus (taken), 13 to 1 agst Lord Kilburne's colt, 100 to 1 agst Tamburini (taken), 25 to 1 agst Rhodanthe (taken).

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday evening an in quest was held at St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park corner, before Mr. Higgs, on the body of Richard Pountney, aged 25, late groom to Mr. Barlow, the Kensington Magistrate. It appeared from the evi dence of a number of witnesses, that on last Friday afternoon the deceased left his master's stables with two horses, for the purpose of exercising them ; when in the Kensington-road the horse he was leading shyed at something and got away from him. The deceased followed after the animal at a rapid rate, when the horse on which he was mounted struck his shoulder violently against one .of the hind corners of a Hammersmith omnibus, which knocked him down. The deceased being thrown on his head, was taken up in an insensible state, and conveyed to the hospital, where he expired a few hours afterwards. On exami nation of the body the skull was found to be exten sively fractured, and the brain lacerated.—Mr. Bar low, who was present during the inquiry, said that the deceased had received strict orders not to take out two horses together for exercise, which, having dis obeyed, had led to the calamity. The horses were high-spirited, but did not possess any vice. —Verdict, " Accidental death," deodand Is. 'We understand that Major Robe, of the 87th Regi ment, has been appointed Assistant Military Secre tary to General Sir Robert Wilson, as Governor of Gibraltar. Lieutenant Farrant, of the 81st Foot, has been appointed Fort Adjutant at Antigua, in succes sion to Lieutenant Powell, who has returned home on leave of absence ; and Lieutenant Craig, of the Ist West India Regiment, has succeeded Lieutenant Dill, of the Royal Engineers, in the same capacity at Tobago. The appointment of Governor of Graves end and Tilbury Fort, which has become vacant by the decease of the late General the Hon. Sir Galbraitii Lowry Cole, is not to be filled up. A portion of the annual emoluments of the situation will be added to the fund set apart for bestowing pensions upon officers in reward for distinguished services.—United Service Gazette The Univers, Paris paper, of Saturday, has the fol lowing :—" We have received from Macao the fol lowing news, dated 19th April :—The English are marching upon Pekin. They are at this time at Nankin. The expedition consists of 18,000 troops, 40 ships of war, 70 transports, and 20 steam-boats. Messrs. Daguin and Prins, the French Missionaries, have entered the interior of China. They arrived on the coast in the Government frigate L'Erigone." SUSPECTED CASE OF MURDER AND ROBBERY AT CARDIFF. The neighbourhood of Bute-street and places ad jacent have been greatly excited in consequence of the. death of Captain Carter, whose body was found on Sunday morning last, in an erect position, between the lock gates under the railway-bridge, crossing the new cut at the bottom of Bute-street. The singularity of the position of the body (being nearly midway be tween the two gates, and theretbre centrally erected in the lock,), together with the finding of a pocket book outside the dock, gave rise to reports that the deceased had been murdered, robbed, and thrown in. Two boatmen, the one named Thomas Davies, and the other John Richards, alias John Moss, were taken into custody under suspicion of knowing something of this tragical event, but were both discharged oci Monday, at an inquest before Lewis Reece, Esq., roner, held at the Bute Arms, in Bute-street, on Mon day morning. The body of deceased was examined, and found tQ be perfectly free from any external bruises or wounds. After the Coroner's recapitulation of the evidence , the Jury returned the following verdict We find , from the evidence adducvl,. that the unfortunate der ceased was drowned in the junction between tke new and old canal, but how or by what means he came there we have no reason to adj uge, otherwise than 1 1 accident. We fully concur, however, in the my s' serious and suspicious appearances touching the air tence of the money known to have been in his posses" sion prior to his death, and consider there is every. probability of his having been robbed." PROPOSED RAIL WAY BET W EEN LEEDS AND HARROGATE. A numerous and influential meeting of gentlemen was held at the Victoria-rooms, Low Harrogate, 0 1 the 29th of September, to consider the best methou of promoting the above undertaking. A statement was first made showing what would be the probably expense of a line of single rails between Leeds a n ', Harrogate, and what would be the probable return 01 the Shareholders. It was then submitted by a Knares borough gentleman that a railway rfom Knares' borough to Bolton Percy could be constructed at 11 much less expense, and would be every way bet ter than a direct line to Leeds. A Committee of twelve gentlemen was ultimately appointed to solicit subscriptions to defray the er t penses attending the necessary surveys, and to rep or to a subsequent meeting. It appeared from the different statements that railway from Harrogate to Leeds would cost ab° ll A 200,0001., whilst a railway from Harrogate to t i Bolton Percy station of the York and North va n , Railway might be accomplished for about 9 0 9 0 ;i 1 The promoters of the Leeds line urged that a ret ur n of 8 or 10 per cent. might be expected from that t?; dertaking, but the promoters of the Bolton Percy 1 1 8 contended that their line would realise from 8 W oe per cent. Sir William Ingleby, who attended meeting and took a lively interest in the proceeding; remarked, that if they would guarantee him hie e cent. for the Bolton Percy line, he would find all r money himself. The feeling f the meeting was d cidedly in favour of the line to the Bolton rf"' station.—York Gazette. THE MARKETS. PR BREAD.
