Tee rise of cities and markets Ia India has been as as elsewhere. Trale has changed its channels wilt a change of . circum stances, ItS in Eutope ; and the enormous traffic which now r as:,c4.the Ghauts, has sprung- U;, within a few years ago, as also has the opium trade tram Malwa. All -classes are eaget, to alault, in the pursuit ef commerce Am! of gain ; indeect, I believe, in the absence of any pre iet,t great interests, and looking at, the simplicity of the pe plc's habits, they would at once attach themselves to any new channel of trade affordingthe inestimable ad vantages of speed, certainty, and security, combined with ecenomy. At the present time grain scarcely commands a price is some parts of the interior; but though no direct export of this commodity were to take place, )et an% Con siderable increase in the pr. duct ion of cotton and other ex portable produce, would, of course, give a value to gram in those districts, as it would create a local market for it with the producers of other commodities, but who are now themselves engaged in the cultivation of grain. In short, it may be study raid, that it a market be opened, and a value be found for any one produce in the interior, ever) , other class o f the surrounding commit ity w ill participate in the bone ft derived fr. m it, from whence it becomes ex pedient that every kind of production should be madeon of tlie • subject of inquiry. With regard to the consumption the interior, the chief at tide its H eight is salt, as noted, by Me. Clial man ; and a further idea of the inland trade may be gaMco from the account before adverted to, t f that of the Bliore Ghaut. But it may be safel . % assumed that the imports would keep pace with any increase of exports, and that every sntplus in the hands of the cultivators would be expended in the purchase of goods chiefly of Briti-h manufacture. That with regard to passengers, it seems to be assumed by the Court of Directors that but few will travel by the rail way; though we have. not the advantage of habits induced by the long; establishment of road conveyances, nor the fa cidtv thence arising of estimating the extent of travelling, it is not to be a,sumed that there would not be on this side of India very considerable travelling by a railway, for the causes from which travelling arises ih,England are in exist race, though not operating to the same extent here. The trading classes of the community are in general migratory, and in the habit of visiting their native country, as well as other places, for commercial purposes. The met chants are in the habit of keeping up agencies about the country, or of empto~ing travelling- agents. The people migrate in search of employment, many travel to visit places from religious motives and for change of climate, also to visit at particular festivals; ar,d, as regards Bombay, probably three-fourths of the whole pepulaton are foreigners, visiting at intervals their native country. But if the means were at hand, and instead of kurne)ing for a month they could reach their homes in a day, there would be no indisposition to travel there, for however small their earnings may be, it is not to be supposed that they have theretize no surplus wages. That they tind money for occasions, is shown by their great ex• penditure on maniages and other ceremonials. It is their characteristic to be thrifty for a year, that they , may be ex-. travagant for a day. Inquiryfilloold, therefore, betnade into the numbers of the travelling population, and the present' state of travelling, its cost; and the delays and the vexatious that travellers are compelled to suffer. THE EAST INDIAN.--The Committee announce that, Mr. Stephenson, the managing director, and three engineers, are in India, with Mr. Sims, the Government engineer, for the purpose of entering into negotiations with the Bengal Go vernment, to whom the question of railway communication has been referred by the East India Company.. Should tie. great trunk from Calcutta to Merzapore be adopted, exten• sions will be made to Jubalpore. - GREAT NORTH INDIA-N.—This line proposes to connect Delhi, Agra, and Allahabad. The line is intended to com mence at Allahabad, the point where the steam navigation of the Ganges terminates, and will form from that city a grand trunk line to Cawnpore, Agra, and Delhi, and with the proposed line froth Calcutta and Mirzapoor, is designed to complete the trunk line from Calcutta to the north-western lrontiar. A line is also to be run front Madras to Arcot, with a probable extension to Vellore. HULL AND HOLYHEAD DIRLUT. 4 gent: al meeting f the Provisional Comma:cc of the Holl and Holyhead Railway Company, was hula ye,teld.iy ut the Lomlen Tavern, for the purpose of electing a Ccnimit tee of 3lanagement. k , .horoly after twelve o'clock, Loan Duxnol NE took Vre t hair, and, in opening the pro ceedings, said he was happy to see so many gentlemen pre sent, as it-bowed a determination on their part to carry out their e ommon object.. He had had the he noun to be con nected with the company from its formation, and be firmly I believed now, es he originally did, that it was as well cat cubtted as any other company to promote the welfare of the public and the advantage of the Shareholders—(Hear, hear.) He had paid considerable attention to the affairs of the corn• pany, and the nature of the project they_ were carr.ling out, and being fully impr: ssed with a sense oe its utility, he was decrinined to exert himself as much as possible in promot ing ir.—(Cheers.) Front the earnestue she saw evinced by those pr• s:nt, he fully believed that they were alto simi!arly disposed. This wcs the first meeting of the company. They w.sembled for the important purpose of selecting a Cont mitt. e of Ma:.age mem, anti he hoped the gentlemen chosen would be zed,:us and active in the di, charge of their dna, s. It was not htended to comptimeht any one on this occasion, by placing lis name on the Cumuli; tee o; .Management, and he (Lord Dunboyne) trusted that every gentl e man would be :old:: influenced in Lis choice by the:me it. of the individual for whi m he night vote. Lvetything dilei.d«l on tho , e ho had to manage the of airs of the ci inpat.y. here were other matters connected with the it stituti:m, of which tiny would hear more precisely and correctly front the !ilia of the solicitor w;tose zeal, taleot, and act:vity, were unequalled. Mr. JAcsois the :olicitor of the Company, having briefly acknowledged the compliment paid him, said a great deal of the merit ascribed to him was owing to the active co-oi,era tion of the gentlemen who had come forward as Provisional Directors; to their energy and zeal was also owing much t f the present prosperity of the Company. That morning's post had hr - tight hitn ~everal letters trout those members f the Ptovi,ional Committee who v ere unable to attend the meet ing. Mr. Jacobs then read a letter front John Rauch, Esq., Aiayor of Maccle,field, and another from a gent:email re siding in Sheffield, both of whom expressed their regret at not being present, and their confident opinion that the line would be of great convenience to their respective locali ties. These gentlemen, continued Mr. Jacobs, occupied pro minent, if not, conspicuous, positions in their respective towns. He (Mr. Jacobs) was happy to hearfrorn Mr. Watts, who had just c,me front Macclesfield, of the importance of the line to that town. He (Mr. Jacobs) was happy to inform the meeting of the general opinion entertained by the public of the prac — ticability of the line. The engineer was now en gaged with a numerous staff in completing the surveys, in order to comply with the standing orders. Mr. Jacobs then red some extracts from the engineer's report to the effect, that none of the new lines coulfbear a moment's comparison with it.

He •(Mr. Zlavobs) had als9 received various communications from owners of pmpeity in the dif ferent places through which the line would pass. There could not be the slightest doubt, not only that this line would pass, but that it would pass in the next session of Parliament. He had blunted to the secretary a list of those gentlemen o had occupied themselves from day to day in promoting the interests of the county.

WORCESTER, TUESDAY EVENING, OCToRER I4.—The first general meeting of the proprietors of the Oxtbrd, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway took place this day, the Guildhall of the ctiy of Worcester, fur the purpose of trans acting the general business of the company, and on other special ni , tters contained in the report. Deputations, consisting of Charles Bousfield, Esq., F. F. Bingley, Esq., and James Ogle, Esq., Leeds; George Os born, Esq., John Learning, Esq., and W. Beaumont, Esq., Bradford; T.

Saunders ' Esq secretary of the Great Western Railway Company , the Mayor of Worcester, and oil. r gentlemen forming the Board of Di rectors. Mr. Brunel was also present. The CHAIRMAN, after alluding to- the late party contest, referred to the necessity of appointing anuitors, and th, recommendation of the Directors that Mr. Noel Thoms:, Smith should be elected their secretary, at a salary of 6001. a Year, and proceeded to state that the Provisional Committee had deemed it desirable, for the interests of the company, to secure an extensive and important traffic by entering into a conditional agreement with the Stratford and Moreton Railway Company fine a perpetual lease of that RaiLvay. The amount of this lease would not be very large, not exceeding 50,0001. They had als ) entered into an agreement. with the Stratforo and Avon Canal Company and the Stourbridge Canal Cont. pang for the purchase of their respective canals. ihe cost etl the - fo:mer would be 160,000/., whilst that of the latter woul:. not exceed 150,000/.

By some the sin cerity of my political professions was questioned—to others t appeared impossible that one so little conversant ith mercantile details, could discharge efficiently the • lath s required by a mercantile community—whilst many ob ected to me on the ground that my residence in this cam ry deprived ne of toe necessary inthrmation en your local natters, tu enalne me to ascertain and minister to your local wants. The flattering testimonials cf approval which have ueen tendered to me by all sections cf your community tormed the best answer to these objections, and, as a conse quence of this reaction, a most kind feeling has sprung up .ind subsisted between us for some years. Believe me that .he severance of our political cunnexion will create no dimi nution of that feeling; on my part.

I had experienced in my own case that, however graceful en appendage a seat in Parliament may prove to many distinguished friends of mine, who have attained the highest walks of the profession, to one, like myself, struggling nwards in the race, it operated as a serious disadvantage , tell I should have been prepared to have borne this disad vantage, as well as my exclusion from a lucrative branch of professional employment, had not the resolution, conveyed to ac in June last, by intimating that I had forfeited the con fidence of a large and influential portion of the constituency removed all grounds of difficulty.

NOEL T. the secretary, then read the report, Which went. at length into those subjects to which the chair- man hart alluded. The CHAIRMAN proposed that the report read be adopted and printed for the use of the shareholders. Dr. BEAUMONT, of Huddersfield, :‘aid that, before the ques- tion was put. he \a as desirous, with the permission or the chairman, of propounding one or ,two questions, answers to which, he thbiught, were essential to the interests and well being of the-company. First, Was the line actually leased to the Great Western Railway Company, or, if not, was it the intention of the direction to leave the line. and if so, o; what terms? Secondly, How many shares bad actually been issued, and how many were held by the proprietors oi the Great Western Railway Company? lie (Dr. Beaumont) asked these questioee in the name of Shareholders present from Huddersfield, Halifax. and Leeds, holders of more than 10,000 shares in the Company. The CSIAIRMAN said that Dr. Beaumont had misread the prospectus, the meaning of the paragraph alluded to being to obtain the approval of the Great Western Company; he would find it was capable of a very diffetent construction, aid that the agreement was not subject to the approval of that proprietary, but of the Great Western proprietary. He might here remark that at their first outset they were beset with difficulties so great that it was only by the assistance ol the Great Western Company that they coend proceed. 1 hat assistance was given conditionally, on the understanding that the line should be leased to them at three-and-a-half pet cent., end half the surplus profits. He (the Chairman) thcaght it was the best thing for that company that cook have occiu'red. They could not enter into the question of the agreement then, because that agreement was the basis of the existence of the company; and as it was introduced into the subscribers' deed, the Shareholders, and not the Directors, were responsible for it. Mr. W. BARKER, in a lengthened address, eulogised the advantages of the line, and contended that it ought to be dealt with as an independent company. Mr. DouGLAs, of Birmingham, tecommended that the should petition rather than dictate the terms to the Great Western Company. Dr. BEAUMONT then followed in the same strain as Mr. Barker, caging that the company ought to be unshackled, and placed upon au independent footing With other impor tant trunk lines. Mr. TIIORNEYCROFT said before they came to any deter mination upon this matter they must remember that a: the time they c,ntracted with the Great IA estern Company the London ; nd Birmingham Company bad tefused them all redress, and hod they not entered into that contract they would have been literally bankrupt. • Mr. SAUNDERS, the secretary of the Great Western Com pany, briefly urged the meeting not to adopt any steps which should create a disunion amongst themselves or tend to promote discord bets een the two allied companies. The projectors of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Company would be the first to feel the ill effects of holding out any threat of repudiation towards the Great Western Company.—(Hear.) The report was then adopted, as were the various other resolutions proposed by the Directors. A vote of thanks being given to the chairman, the meet ing separated.

Barcelona Seville - TRE SUN, LONDON% WEDNIRSDAY EVEINING, OCTOBER 1,5 3 1845, REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE DURING THE. PAST WEEK. The very wet, unfavourable weather experienced during the week has done so much injury to that portion of the crops still abroad in the northern counties, as to render it next to impossible for the grain to be secured in any other than the worst condition, however auspicious the weather may hereafter be, ome. When rain occurs early in the - season, its effects may, frequently, be almost wholly re medied ; but the year is now too far advanced to admit us to hope that the mischief done in the present case can be repaired : the shortness of the days, the diminished power of the sun, and the heavy night dews, all tend to prevent that which has been thoroughly saturated with wet being easily died, except by artificial means ; the corn which has been exposed in the fields to the frequent heavy showers of the past flirtnight (and the quantity is, we are sorry to learn, coneiderable) . must therefore inevitably be carted in a damp state. in some localities, where there have been heavy floods, a portion will be entirely lost, and that pert saved can scarcely be expected to be in fit order fur thrashu:g for months to come. So far, therefore, from any improvement having taken place in our prospects, there is reason to fear that the result , a the hea ve. t—t eking the ki ng d o m colectively— will prove even more unfavourable than was before apprehended ; and there can no longer be any doubt that fine old wheat will' become more vemtible in proportion as it is found to be required fur mixing with the damp. inferior qualities of new That the quantity 1-ft over of last year's crest is trifling; is generally admitted ; whilst it is en undoubted fact that of free foreign very little remains in the country. It is true that' we have about half a million of quarters of wheat in bend in the kingdom, and it is possible that somewhat about 100,003 quarters may anive before winter puts a stop to shipments from the Baltic ; but even were the whole of this quantity immediately released, we doubt whether -it would have any material influence on price=. Lt the present posi tion of affairs it is not likely, however, that importers will enter for home consumption, as by leaving their property under lock, they will be in a position to take advantage of the fall which must., later in the year, occur in the duty. The trade in Wheat has, since our last, been active ; and not only has the previously established advance been main • tained, out a -further rise in prier s has taken place at many of the principal markets. Notwithstanding the inducement held out by the pi esent remunerating rates, farmers have manifested - very little anxiety to part with their wheat, and the deliveries have rather fallen off than increased ; buyers have, on the other hand, dt erred it prudent to make further addition to their stocks, and, at present, we can discover no symptoms of a re-action. At Liverpool, on Tuesday, the best dry qualities of new Wheat were readily placed at terms fully 3d. per 701bs. above those of that day se'nnight ; and old rose to about the same extent. Bonded parcels were sought after; but, in conse quence of the very high rates demanded, the actual transace tions were not extensive. On Friday the inclination to make investments was more general than in the early part of tin week ; and for a parcel of ordinary red Baltic, in bond, 7s. per 701bs. was paid. The reports from Leeds and Hull, of Tuesday, though of a decidedly firm character, are less animated than might have been anticipated, considering the quantity of' rain which has recently fallen in Yorkshire. At neither of the places last named were the millers willing to pay enhanced rates, and sellers declining to accept former prices, the operations were comparatively unimportant; the case Nem., however, different at Wakefield on Friday, the continued wet having created much uneasiness for the outstanding portion of the crops. On the whole a fair amount of business was transacted there, and Wheat realised from ls. to 2s. per quarter more than on that day se'nuight. The advices from the western and north-western markets report a material rise in quotations. At Bristol, on Thursday, all kinds r f Wheat advanced Is. to 2s per quarter; and at Birmingham, on the same day, the enhancement amounted from 2s. to 3s per quarter. Letters from the last-named town inform us that a good deal of Wheat, a proportion of the Peas and Tares, and neatly the whole of the Beans, are still abroad in that neighbourhood.' As already remarked, only moderate supplies have this week been brought forward by the growers; and at the ship ping ports on the east coast—from whence the growth of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk is dispatched to the chief consuming markets—the supplies have fallen some what short of the demand. At Spalding and Lynn, on Tuesday, the turn was decidedly in favour et* the seller; and at Boston, on Wednesday, the advance amounted to fully 2s. per quarter. Our advices from Scotland speak very despondingly of the weather, and the progress made with harvest operations in that country. Even in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh much of the corn, we are informed, is still in the fields; and in the backward localities, immense injury has, it is feared, been done by the heavy and constant rain ; as, however, the prospects in respect to quantity were previously very good, it was still hoped that—though the quality would be inferior—about an average produce would be secured. These remarks apply more particularly to Oats, the steple crop of the country ; Wheat appears there, as with us, to have suffered from the want of warmth and excess of moisture during the summer months, and is therefore expected to be short in yield. There was considerable excitement in the grail trade at Edinburgh on Wednesday. Wheat was quoted 2s. per quarter, Barley Is. to is. 6d., and Oats ls. to 2s. per quarter higher, with an active demand for each. At Glasgow business was also lively on the day named, and the rise in price was quite as great at the last as at the first men tioned town. Ireland appears to have been visited with similar weatherto that experienced on this side of the Channel; and a good deel of injury is said to have been done in the later districts, not only to the corn remaining abroad, but also to the Potatoes. These reports, and the rise in the English markets, hadcaused holders of grain to demand higher terms; and at the prin cipal markets, the value of Wheat and Oats bad tended upwards. The arrivals of Wheat coastwise into London have slightly increased; 6,785 quarters having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening, against 5,83 G quarters the preceding week. A considerable proportion of the supply is from Liu colnshire, the greater part of which has gone to the millers direct. From the home counties the show of samples at Mark-lane has been very small; indeed so trifling, that the buyers have experienced some difficulty in securing the quantity required for present use. The few lots exhibited on the Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands, on Wednesday, were easily placed at prices not previously obtainable; whilst on Friday a rise of ls. to 2s. per quarter on the rates current in t h e beginning id* the week was insisted on, and very gene rally realised for really good qualities, whether old or new. The damp condition in which much of the new Wheat has come to hand I as rendered an extensive mixtureof old neccs satv, and the finer kinds of free foreign have been, therefore. a good deal sought after; holders of the latter have conse quently raised their pretensions; and the sales made at the close of the week were at prices Is. per quarter above those at which purchases might have been effected on Monday. A lively inquiry for bonded Wheat has prevailed through out the week, and had importers been disposed to have accepted former terms, extensive transactions would probably have been entered into. Ihe very high rates asked have, to a certain degree, checked business; still some rather large sales were concluded on Friday for good to fine high mixed Dantzic Wheat at 565. to 665. per quarter, and for a lot of old red Konigsberg 525. Gd. per quarter was paid. There was very little Lower Baltic Red Wheat offering as low as 505., and for tine heavy Rostock sellers declined accepting less than 525., making the rise from Monday fully 2s. per quarter. As yet the duty remains at 18s. per quarter, but the ave rages are now coming high even from the agricultural dis tricts, and a fall must take place before the end of the month ; whilst, from the present position of affairs, we are inclined to think that Wheat will, ere the. termination of the year, be admissible at 10s. or 125., if nut lower. • The millers have shown some unwillingness to enter into forward contracts to deliver Flour, expecting a further rise in the value of the article. Ship Flour was decidedly dearer on Friday, as was also Canadian and United States. The arrivals of Barley have yet but siightly increased. and, as the time is now drawing near when the maltsters usually commence threshing, holders of the little hem have manifested a dispesition to insist on enhanced prices. Fine qualities were certainly the turn higher at the close of the week, and even old foreign samples were held for more money. Barley is at present relatively cheaper titan most other kinds of grain, and it is therefore reasonable to calculate on some advance in its value. The scarcity of fine old Malt has caused the better kinds to be sought after, and a further small improvement on Mon dav's quotati ons h as, i n partial i nstances, been established. 'The total supply of Oats has amounted to only 7,213 qrs. during the week; et' which, 1,306 qrs. have been received froin our own coma, 670 qrs. from Scotland, and 5,267 qrs. from Ireland. From abroad there have been no arrivals. Though that portion of the Oat crop which was secured early yielded well to the acre, and proves of good quality. so large a proportion of the harvest is yet abroad in Ireland and Scotland that it has become doubtful whether the total quantity will come up to the estimates formed of the yield earlier in the year. This, and the disease by which the po tatoes have everywhere been attacked—a circumstance which must cause a greatly increased consumption of oat meal--may account for the firm tone which holders of oats have this week assumed. On Wednesday few factors were willing to sell at former prices, and on Friday an advance of Gd. to Is per qr. was established without difficulty not only on home gie wn, but likewise on free foreign Oats. In the early part of the week the price • of Beans had rather a downward tendency, but the continued wet weather, and the probability of the outstanding crop being much injured thereby, gave rise to a more lively demand on Friday, when the slight depression was completely recovered. Peas were also much more sought after at the close than in the commencement of the week, and neither white, blue, nor maples, could be secured on so easy terms on Friday as on Monday.—Mark-larie Eaprtss.

It appears that a short time since a great number of small crystalized substances, having the appearance of flowers, or miniature mushrooms, were observed to grow out of the dish, breaking through the bard glazed surface. One or two of these grew to the extent of an inch, but were accidentally broken, Others are now budding forth, covering nearly the whole surface of the dish. The taste is very similar to that of common salt. The oldest and most experienced individuals engaged in the manufac tures of earthenware in this town do not remember witnessing such appearances on any prtvious occasion. A potter, who also keeps the Compass public-house in High-street, pur chased the article from the original owner for 1/. 55., and has issued bills announcing it for ex hibition. The gt:neral pression in the upper region of our town i i s, that it is a "be witched dish ;" but we opine that chemists, upon anal) sation, would be able to account for th ese curious appearances, by the accidental presence of some chemical ingredient not usu ally found in the materials from which such articles are menu faCtured.—Ccnbrian.

INDIAN RAILWAYS. GREAT INDIAN PENINSULA.—The Directors cf this Com pany have just published a correspondence between them selves and several residents and natives of India, rela tive to the feasiblity of constructing railways in the in terior. Mr. Ayrton, of Bombay, speaking of the difficulties supposed to prevail against the practicability of the pro posal, says, I do not Anticipate any difficulties arising from the six points mooted in the dispatch of the Court of Di rectors; an examination of the works, such as wooden bridges and buildings, existing in India, will enable any engineer to answer the first four questions; the fifth has already been solved in America, and is not striking in its application, as guards at five and seven rupees (10s. to 145.) a month will not be a leading feature of expense; the demand for engineers for Government and private steam navigation and otuer purposes will soon ensure the presence of a body of engineers; but I may mention that one of the steam-boats plying between this and Surat L managed by one engineer only, at a salary of 150 rupees (15/.) a month, with the assistance of natives of the country, which shows that no difficulty will be expe rienced on this head. It will probably be supposed, from an opinion frequ,ntly expressed of. the difficulty of changing the customs and habits of the natives of this country, that any attempt to open a new channel of traffic would be a failure; but I believe that no people would more readily avail themselves of any advantages in trade, especially if TUESDAYNIGHT'S GAZET E Commission signed by the Lord Li!ntensnt of Fifeshire.

NORTHERN MEETING: -- - 1 Wednesday last was the day announced as that_ on which the annual meeting of the nobility and gentry of the. Hig hlands was to commence. Although several - ,eqhipages arrived in town on that day, the amusements of the tneeting did not commence ,till Thursday... A . goo d d ea l of rnx i e t y was felt lest the,boisterous state of , the weather should occa sion a thin attendence, .and lessen t'ae enjoyment of the genies; but, notwithstanding the absence , of several northern families, we were glad to ,observe that the number present -at the . meeting was fully as large 'as usual. The games and sports of every kind were keenly con tested, and we do not remember to have seen so many competitors for leaping at any previous meeting. There were suppers and . balls on Thursday and Friday evenings —Colonel Baillie, of Redcastle, presiding on Thursday, and Mr. Grant, of Glenneorriston, on Friday. On either night there could not be less than one hundred and tifty who partook of the supper and refreshments, which were furnished by Mr. Grant, of the Caledonian and Union Hotels, - in his usual very superior style. The mu qc was tin der the superintendence of Mr. Lowe, and its excellence win , duly appreciated. The ladies were, as usual, elegantly at- tired, and amongst the gentlemen wearing the Highland tlre,s were Lord Lovat, Lord Reidhaven, Gleumorriston, Mr. Mackintosh, of Daviot, Mr. Mackintosh, jun., of Reigmore, Mr. Robertson, ..f Struwan, Mr. Robertson, Foveran, &c. &e. The 11,n. Lewis Grant, and most of the officers present, ap peared in uniform, On Thursday the games took place on the Longman, com mencing at one o'clock, and ending shortly after four. With the exception of a shower at the commencement, the day kept favourable throughout. The scene of action was very animating. The crowd as , embled on the occasion was large, and not a few carriages were drawn up outside the barrier. The unusual addition of several of the military belonging to the 87th regiment from Fort George, who came to try their prowess in leaping, excited much interest whilst this sport was going on. After a keen competition, the prizes for throwing the hammer, putting the stone, leaping, and , tossing the caber, were awarded as follows Throwing the Heavy HaMmer-IGlbs John Fraser. ship-carpenter, Inverness—lst prize, 85 feet, 10 inches William Macdonald, Tulloch-2d prize .

A gallery was erected for the accommodation of the ladies, and it was filled from mid to end with an array of all the beauty and fashion at the. meeting, and those comprising the elite of our town. In front was a platform for the pipers and dancers, and seats were ranged round for the gentlemen present and the judges. By two o'clock a large crowd bad collected around the barrier. The pipers one by one poured forth theirsoul-stirring pibrochs, and were loudly cheered at the conclusion of the wild laments and martial airs. It was obvious, however, that these displays were pro longed to an extent that made the attention flag. The day was bitter cold, and some parties amused them selves by testing their speed of foot in the park. Reels and dancing at length succeeded the pibrochs, and tha stragglers soon joined the main body of on-lookers. Before the conclusion of the performances, at four o'clock, rain de. ecended in torrents. The judges were—Glenmoriston; Mr. Mackintosh, yr. of Mackintosh ; General Gordon of Lechdu; and John Chisholm, Esq., Inverness, who, at the conclusion awarded the prizes as under:— Pibrochs. Ist prize, a Set of Bag ipes, to Hugh Lindsay, Jura. 2nd ditto, an Elegant Silver Brooch, to Alex.

Is. to Alexander Cameron, Rosehangh. 2d ditto, best dressed Highlander at his master's expense, 2/. 25., to John Maclennan, piper to Mr. Campbell of Troup and Glenlyon. On Saturday forenoon a numerous crowd again repaired to the Longman to enjoy the races. The day was fine, and -very one seemed pleased with the appearances on every side. We regret, however, to state, that, owing to the roughness 4' part of the race-course, a fine horse, ridden by Captain Fraser, Fort George, sustained a compound fracture in one of nis legs. Much regret was manifested in consequence of this untoward event. The horse was one of the finest on the ;round, and decidedly the favourite. The racing was as keenly contested as were any of the previous games, and the scene was truly animating as the steeds and their riders swept over the course, greeted by the cheers of the congregated multitude. The following is the result of the day's spurt:— First race—Sweepstakes of 11. Is, with 10/. added. Five hones started. Proprietors. Riders. John Mackenzie, Esq., b h Jack (F.

The bazaar for the purpose of dispo s ing of the articles remaining unsold at the termination cf the late bazaar in Covent-garden Theatre, and of a great "umber and variety of ecntributions received since the close of that bazaar from various parts of the kingdom, opens on Wednesday next, for six days, closing. on the even ing of Tuesday the 21st instant. The interior is now being converted into a Tudor hall —say of the reign of Elizabeth and the time of Shakspeare—from designs by Grieve. The end wall at the back of the platform represents an architectural screen end the vaulted roof of a hall beyond, which adds greatly to the apparent length of the hall. There are three arched entrances in the screen, and the arched vestibule and other parts of the screen are covered with blue (Ira perits. The whole is richly decorated with the bands, scrolls, bosses, and medallion centre-pieces, which form the characteristic features of the Tudor style. A bold and rich design is repeated in compartments along the friezes of the clerestory. In the midst of each com partment is a central eval medallion, within which is a nymph-like figure ; on each side of this, the intervals being filled up with scrolls and bands of various co lours, in the style of the period, is a squared medal lion, or panne), in each of which is a fivure of a b , ly-child seated on a heap of cut corn, one figure being a reaper and the other a gleaner. The ceiling has had a warmer tint given to it, ar.d round the ventilating apertures over the candelabra is an ornamental design, in harmony with the decorations already described. Over each of the pillars (which have been repainted and gilded) is a representative of a bronze statue, of a female draped figure. In addition to the usual lights, a rich octagonal Gothic lantern is to be suspended, midway in each of the spaces between thepillars. These lanterns are the same that were used at the bazaar at Covent-garden Theatre. A double range of stalls on each side the hell, in ser pentine form, will surround the pillars, cor.tairing ladies' work, fancy articles, and the ceuntless articles of miscellaneous character that form the staple stock o f bazaars ; a semicircular stall in front of the plat form, presided over by Mrs. Thomas Woolley and Mrs. Malley, wilt supply refreshments. A single range of stalls under the side galleries will contain the articles of curiosity and vertu (amongst others many models and several collections of coins) ; and the platform will be wholly occupied by the pictures, water c ur draw ings, engravings, &c., 171 in number, and valued at from 4001. to 5001. Amongst them is an oil painting rety-esent ing Poery, by Carlo Dolei, pre-toted by Mr. J. 13. Smith; a fine water-colour drawing portrait of Gains borough, by himself; photographic portraits of Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, &c.; a number of portfolios of prints, views worked in silk, an autegral h letter of Washington, a lock of Sir Walter Scott's hair, &c. Be tween the ranges of stalls the hall floor %%ill be open for promenading, except in the centre, where a very beautifully designed fountain in bronze, cast by Messrs. Derby, of Colvbrookdale, and press nted by them to the League, will be erected, and made to throw its waters into miniature jets, &c. Amongst some of the most interesting models are two exhibiting a farm in East Lothian, raN , sented by Mr. Henry Ashworth. One shows every field and its crops, with the face of the , ountry, and the position of :be farm-steeds, &e. The other exhibits the farm stead with its quad rangle of bail 'ings round the yard ; sled by liftit g off the roof of the buildings, their interior arrangements ~re disclosed. Amongst the articles of re; tu is a fine fac-simile of the celebrated Warwick Vase. We find it vain to attempt to notice even the roost remarkable contributions in various departments ; and therefore will only add that the bazaar prom'ses to be one full of tempting and attractive articles. and to be got up in every respect in that s pirited ,Style rot which the League is renowned. A full bend is to be in attendance daily; and the League have arranged for a special train from Newcastle, Shields, Durham, &c., on Tuesday next, to return on the following Friday. •—Manchester Guardian. Letters from the squadron, in Simon'a Bay, Cape of Gc.od Hope, dated the 14th of July, mention that the Pagoda, under the charge of Lieutenants Moore and Clarke, had arrived there on the 20th of June, front making the magnetic observations in the high southern latitudes, and had been put out of commission, the ex pedition, after having reached the 68 deg. of latitude, were stopped by a heavy pack of ice, and having run 97 degrees of eastern longitude, between the latitudes of 61 and 64 deg. were drove out by the heavy ictbergcs. Passing every day from 120 to 130 i ce b erges an d broken and ice, and when in 110 deg. east longitude, and 55 south, the ice still continuing very thick, they lost their main yard, the wind still blowing hard, and the heavy work the ship must have experienced duting the voyage through so much ice, compelled them to run for Ring Georges Sound, and they arrived there on the Ist of April. This is th first ship that has ever been sent down by her self in those latitudes, and the only time that the 97 deg. of longitude was ever run inside the 61st deg. south in one season ; and they arrived at the Cape, having tinished-tlte observations in those Southern seas, without losing a single man, or any sickness throughout the voyage, and the ship in good condition. The Mutine has been hove down, and the injury she has sustained in getting on the bar of the Quilli maine River, while in chase of the Brazilian slaver Princess Imperial, was so trifling, that she had been repaired. and it was I understood that she would shortly return to the Mozambique Channel. The Cleopatra sailed ?rem this place, for the Mc zambique, on the 16th June; and the Helena would sail in a few days for the same destination. The Winchester, flag ship of Rear-Admiral Hon. Josceline Percy, is here, and we are daily looking fee her relief.

THE POTATO CROP.—The accounts of the failure of the potato crop, and the prospects of a famine in consequence, are truly alarming.

AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.—A most barefaced rob bery was committed a little after seven o'clock last nigi t. to a considerable amount. A farmer from a neighbouring town having called at the Journal-office for the purpose of paying a small account, was noticed by some women to place his purse.in his breast pocket. They watched bier leave the office, and before he had got twenty yards, they ran up against him, and one of them thrusting her hand into his breast, drew out his purse and made away. He did not: discover his loss at the moment, but in five minutes after he missed his purse, which contained four or five soveragrs, and 240/. in notes, of the Lichfield Bank, payable in Lon& it, at Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith's. He bad come into the town with a view of buying some sheep at our fair, and was thus in an instant deprived of this very serious sum of money.
