1 7 1 otrt 15.ettwe SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 6-h have arriv. d. These journals announce the departure from Ma drid of General Joed de la Concha for Cadiz, nom whence he is to embark for Cuba. The postage on Spanish newspapers during the month cf August amounted to 48,572 reals, of which nearly 30,000 were paid by the Madrid journals. During the same month the postage of letters amounted to about 2,000 000 reals. A Madrid letter of the 6th again revives the ru mours of a Alinisterial crisis. General Narvaez, it is said, had recommended G , neral Serrano to epp* ar at the lest re , eption for kissit:g hand, nett lily their Ma jesties. The General, it appeared, fanc ed he nail reason to complain of the coolness of their Majesties to him, and he wrote an angry letter to General Nar vaez. The latter, having had a little before an alter cation with General Cordova, is repre , ented to have declared that he was so pestered with annoyances that he would resign. His colleagues strongly recom mended him not to execute the design, and it was believed that he would not persist in it. The Minister of the Interior had been summoned to Madrid by te legraph, The 6th being Sunday, the Stock Ex change was not open, but the Threes were at 34k. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES, A letter from Hamburg of Oct. 8, in the Indepen dance Beige, says After the sanguinary 'catas trophe of l'riedericlostadt, the Holstein army resumed its old positions at Suderstapel, where Col. Von der Tann holds the chief command. General de Willisen returned on the 6th to Rendsburg with some bat talions. To-day a Danish corps issued from its en trenchments and resumed the offensive by attacking, without any marked result, two battalions of the Holstein rear-guard. During the 6th the flames were still seen rising up from the unfortunate town of Friederichstadt ; at that time only 24 houses were standing, the rest of the town, with. its edifices and its churches, having been reduced to ashes by the Holstein bombs. A great number of soldiers have been suffocated by the heat and smoke, and many of the inhabitants shared the same fate. Yesterday Baron Durbing-Holmfeldt, charge d'affaires of Den mark to our Senate, notified to it that its Government would never recognise as of value the treasury bonds created and thrown into circulation by the Lieute nancy-General; and that also it would consider in the same light all money without the King's head and arms that might be struck in Holstein. A great part of the paper money in quesrion having been thrown into circulation here, apprehensions are entertained that a marked depreciation in its value will take place." TURKEY. Constantinople papers of *he 24th ult. have arrived. The Journal de Constantinople announces the arri val at Smyrna on the 19th of the Austrian Arch dukes Ferdinand and Charles, brothers of the Emperor, where they were received with all the honours due to their rank. GREECE. Accounts have been received from Athens to the 2841 ult. The Courrier Athenes contains a royal ordon nance, dated 21q, fixing the elections for deputies to take place during the month of September, and con voking the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate for the 1 Ph November. ltit L'l'A. ThP Malta Times, of the Ist instart, states the the GDverunint does not intend to issue any more bulletins of the eho:era, as it may be said to have ceased, and that it was hoped that dean bills of health would be shortly granted.

Sir Richard Sutton acted as referee. The shooting was on Tuesday and Thursday, Mr. Crawford giving " The 'Squire" ten brace each day. On the first day Mr. Crawford bagged 75 brace, blr. Osbaldestone 69, which; with the ten brace given him, left him with a majority of four brace. On Thursday business was resumed, Mr. Osbaldestone having the worst of the ground, and at the finish Mr. Crawford was the winner by two brace. Good work for the old 'Squire, at the age of sixty-three, against a youthful competitor. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette of this day.) Ilosd-KONG COMMAND.—We understand that the command of the taoops in this colony, vacant by the removal of Major-General Stk.veley to the staff at Bombay, is going begging. The general officers have declined the appointment, and others have been applied to upon the subject. REGIMENTS FOR, EMBARKATION.—The eight regi ments under orders to embark for foreign service, are sent out to keep up th e e ff ect i ve strengt h o f t h e f orce at Gibraltar, CJtfu, &c., consequent upon the reduc tion of the reserve bctalions at those stations. REGIMENTS F3a IRELAND.—Five regiments are to embark for Ireland, to relieve eight going on foreign service ; but, as the latter will each leave a four corn pany depOr, the army in that country will thereby be kept up to its present strength. FULL PAY RETIREMENT.—We understand that LiHut.-Colonel Dundas, 47th Regiment, is about to be placed on the retired full pay list. His first com mission is dated in August, 1805, and he served with the expedition to South America, and was present at the storming of Monte Video, and served in the Br:- mese war. STu'F.—Captain Stapleton, cf the 13th Light In fantry, has been appointed an Aide-de-Camp to Gene ral Sir Wm. Gumm, and has prccceded by the overland route to India. THE BOMBAY COMMAND.—As Sir Willoughby Cotton's name is out cf the " Army List" for this mouth, and no substitute name appears, EB inference has gone abroad that there is no intention of filling up the vacant command, or that one of the Major-Generals now on the stuff will probably assume the chief responsibility. We believe the in ference to be erroneous. By the charter of the East India Company, Bombay and Madras have separate armies, separately commanded, and though it may be in contemplation to amalgamate these and the Bengal army under one chief when the charter has expired, there cm be no reaicn tor the adoption of that course ju-t now. Ou the contrary, the addition of the PLlD jdub to our Indian empire Las rendered a new divisien necessary, and as the geographical position of Bom bay whi the better facilitate the occupation of the southern and the western part of the Punjaub by troops from that Presidency, we should not wonder if Major-General Staveley has been appointed to the staff of the Presidency, for the purpute of assuming the command of the contemplated nt w division. COMMISSARIAT DEPARTMENT.—Upon the embarks tion of Deputy Ccmtnissary-General Knowles for England, Deputy Commissary Major has been directed to take charge of the department in Canada, until the arrival of Mr. Knowles' successor to assume the command. TIIE VACANT NAVAL GOOD SERVICE PENSION. — It is reported that Commodore, William Fanshawe Martin, now in command of the frigate squadron, is the favourite candidate for the Captain's Good Service Pension, vacant by the promotion of Rear - Admiral Collier, C.B. The vacancy caused by the death of Retired Com mander Beaumont has been filled up by the promo tion of Lieutenant W. Strong (1810).

DEATH OF MISS BIFYIN. _ On Wednesday last, Miss Sarah Biffin, the cele brated miniature painter, who was born without hands or arms, died at her lodgings in Duke-street, in this town, at the age of sixty-six. The deceased was born at East Quantoxhead, near Bridgewater, Somerset, in the year 17E4. She manifested in early life the talent for drawing and painting which she afterwards cultivated to so extraordinary an ex tent ; and she was first initiated in the rudiments of the art by a Mr. Dukes, to whom she bound her self, by a written agreement, to give the whole of her time and exertions, and for that ',purpose to re main for a term of years in his house. Some time after this engagement had been contracted, the Earl of Morton became acquanted with, and so much interested in Miss Biffin, that he caused her to be further instructed by Mr. Craig, a gentleman of great eminence in his profession as a miniature painter. Under his skilful tuition, she attained to an almost miraculous degree of perfection ;so much so, indeed, that in the year 1821 the " Society of Arts and Commerce Prcmoted," ror one of her pic tures, presented her with a prize medal, through their president, his Royal Highness the late Duke of Sussex. The Earl of Morton also made liberal offers, but unavailingly, to Mr. Dukes, to induce him to re linquish his claim upon Miss Biffin ; and although she was assured by professional gentlemen that the agreement was not legally binding, she refused to avail herself of the circumstance, and she remained with Mr. Dukes for nearly 16 years. During the whole of this tithe she resided with Mr. and Mrs. Dukes as one of their family, and was treated by them with uniform kindness ; but it will scarcely be believed, although such is undoubtedly the fact, that in compensation for this exclusive sacrifice of the best part of her life, Miss Biffin, at no time, received from Mr. Dukes, in money, more than 61. per annum. Miss Biffin was patronised by their late Majesties George the Third. George the Fourth, William the Fourth ; by the Queeia Dowager, by her present Majesty, by Prince Albert, and by a host of the nobi lity, arid other distinguished persons. For many years she supported herself by miniature painting ; but after the death of her noble benefactor and ever kind friend, the Earl of Morton, there was no one, like him, ready to assist her in obtaining orders for pictures, or in disposing of such as she was enabled to complete when not otherwise employed ; and as age grew upon her she became much reduced in cir cumstances. A few years ago she came to Liverpool, where she made an ineffectual attempt to support herself by her own exertions. Our benevolent townsman, Mr. Richard Rathbone, took a great interest in her welfare, and it was principally by his exertions that, a short time ago, a small annuity was purchased for her by subscription.—Liverpool Mercury, BISHOP OF LONDON AND THE QUEEN.—The Bishop of London is said to have addressed a letter of remonstrance to her Majesty for not having a clergyman of the Established Church in her suite while on her present tour, and for at tending a Presbyterian place of worship at Balmoral. A reply was sent to the Bishop, expressive of her Majesty's disapproval of such interference, and observing that her Ma jesty had not stepped out of her duty in attending public worship in ;the Established Church of Scotland.—/nrerness Courier.

From the half-yearly reports of 63 railway com panies in the United Kingdom, it appears that 218,000,0001. bad been expended by them up to the 31st of July, 1850. The traffic for the half-year amounted to 6,130,2001., and the working expenses, including the duty on passengers and rates and taxes, to 2,861,240/., leaving a profit to pay interest on loans and dividends on capital of 3,268,9601., being at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum for the half-year. The borrowed money is estimated at 65,000,0001., which at 44- per cent. per annum would require 1,462,500/. to pay the interest on loans, and leave 1,806,4001. for dividends on guaranteed shares and ordinary share capital, which would allow on the whole about 1.26 g e al f , ga - t y e e a lengthr, or 2 0 f s2 rai p l e w r ce ayo n p t e . n pe a r t a p l e , r nu c m et . it. , f i 'o ie rth ag e the end of that period was 6,000 miles; the average cost per mile 35,9731., the gross receipts per mile er mile on fotrhteh English half'-year. a ea railwaysr in. 1,0211., the expenses 4761., or 46'68 p e r cent., and the net r b e e ve a n m u o e u s n 4 t s/. p expended eluded above was 183 ,191,800/., the gross traffic re turns 5,261,7601., the expenses of working and taxes 2419,280/. ; the miles open at the end of the half year 4,760, the average cos t par m il e 38,4901, the rece ipts per mile 1,1001., ,the expenses 5051. or 45.95 per cent. for the half-y ear . The capital expended o n the Scotch railways am oun t e d to 25,401,200/., the g ross traffic receipts t o 6 16,7181., t h e expens es to 325,5141., the miles open to 790, the cost per mile to 32,120/., the gross receipts per mile to 7801., the ex penses to 4121., or 52 . 69 per cent., and the net re venueequal t o 1.15 p e r cent. for the expenditure on the Irish railways in cvhleaunifdu-eyedetaoarn3.o6vBeTLha'embeounted to 9,407,0001., the traffic to the wor ki ng expenses an d rat es 116,4421., ]p av i ng open 481 g 135,263/. profit. The miles, the cost per mile lengtha n d re ceipts taxes o 2 51 ,7251.,ft0 19,5571., the receipts per mile 5231, the expenses 242/., or 46'27 per cent., and the net revenue 2811. per mile, being equal to 1.44 per cent. for the half-year. It would appear from this that the gross receipts for the first half' of the present year amounted to the capital expended on the E 2: per cent. o n the Irish lines, and 7g3i to 2 r .4 c 9 per n working experpe s on t he English lines a mounted 873 hel lines, to o 2o cent. e 675 t- on the Scotch lines. The to 45 95 per vent. of the gross receipts, on the Irish lines to 46.27 per cent., and on the Scotch lines to 5269 per cent. The average cost per mile of the English miles appears to be 38,490/. ; of the Irish lines, " 19 A 5 71 • and of the Scotch lines, 32,120/, It appears from these figures that the Scotch railways have cost a larger sum per mile than the traffic in that country would warrant, and also that the average cost per mile of w orking expenses very much exceeds that of the English an d Irish railwa y s. This i s a matter of considerable importance to English share holders who have invested their money in Scottish lines of railway; for, lo okin g at these results, it would appear that land, materials, and labour are nearly as valuable in Scotland as they are in England. It would also appear from the working expenses that materials and labour are much dearer in Scotland than in England. At all events, these results show that the reputed economy of Scottish mana g ement in railway matters falls very far short of what is ge nerally supposed ; and the fact is fully borne out by the late reports of committees of investigation on the affairs of the Caledonian, the North British, the Glas gow and G reenoc k, the Scottish C entr a l, and the Glas gow and Ayr railways; and in these cases near ly the whole of the unguaranteed stock was held in Eng land ; at the same time it is due to the Scottish di rectors to state that on most occasions they have been supported by overwhelming numbers of English proxies. 1,035,000/., MANCHESTER, SHE FFIELD, AND 1.4 INCOLNSIIIRE. Yesterd a y a special meeting of this company to o k place at Manchester, for the purpose , of considerin g the expedie nc y o f raising by preference shares Lord Y ARBOROUG H, the chairman of t h e board, said the que s ti on b a d occur red to the directors whether in or some part thereo f. calling up the capital on this new class of shares un paid dividend or interest warrants were to be con sidered as part payment of such calls. The di rectors had decided to ask for money for the first call, but they would instruct the bank to accept the pay ment of th e seco nd and third calls i n interest and dividend warrants.—(Hear, hear.) The board ex pected that they would be thus e nabled to meet their creditors in a much more satisfactory manner than they had been able to do recently. He trusted the resolution they had to propose would receive the sup port of the shareholders. Their traffic was increasing, as they expected it would do, and there was good reason to suppose it would go on increasing. There was nothing they had done with regard to the general po licy of the company that the directors saw reason to regret. He then moved a resolution to the effect that there be now created 172,500 new shares of 61. each, t•o be calved preference shares, for raising 1,035,000/ , and to be entitled to a guarantee dividend of 6 per cent. per annum, to take precedence of all dividends or claims of other shareholders, such gu^ir•ntee to continue fur twenty years certain, and for ever unless the compny shall wiihin five years atter the expi ration of such twenty years redeem the new shares at par; the three first instalments of 11. each to be paid before March, 1851, the remainder to be paid by subsequent calls at intervals of two months each; the new shares to be ()Mired to the shareholders in the proportion of one new share for every 101. preference share, one for every quarter share, one for every 20 Blanchester and Lincoln shares, and one for every 50/. of consolidated stuck. Air. CHAPMAN (deputy-chairman) seconded the motion. Mr. MORTON complained that the shareholders bad riot had information enough of the position of the company to justify them in granting the capital, the chairman not having mentioned the objects for which the money was required. lie concluded by moving as an amendment that the words " five per cent." be substituted for " six per cent." in the motion, and that the distribution of shares be made rateably. The amendment having been seconded, The CHAIRMAN explained that the objects for which the new capital was to be raised were stated in the last half-yearly report. ,He said be thought, as a shareholder in this and no other company, he had a right to complain of the systematic mode adopted by Mr. Morton of depreciating the value of their stack. —(Cheers.) With reference to the proposition to make the preference 5 instead of G per cent., it would be unwise to issue the shares at a price which would cause them to hang on the market. If the shares did not get off their hands, he could hardly say where their difficulties wculd end ; but he thought he saw a reasonable probability of getting through them under the present arrangements. Mr. GEACH (director) expressed his surprise that Mr. Morton should have said he did not know what the new capital was to be raised fur, after the very full explanation given at the last meeting.—(Cheers.) He said with 7,0001. a week receipts they would be able to pay off all their guarantees by 1855, and with an increase to 10,C00/. a week ; and he was much deceived if by that time their receipts did not far ex ceed 10,0001.—there would be 3 per cent. dividend for the original shareholders.—(Cheers.) EMr. WILSON, in a very violent speech, moved as a second amendment that no more preference stock be issued so long as the present directors remain in office, but it was not seconded. Mr. WOOD, of Shk , ffield, thought it was not desira ble that they should raise capital at 6 per cent., giving it a preference over all other stock, since he had known other companies who had borrowed money at 3 per cent. He contended that they had no power to do this without the consent of the holders of present preference stock. He, therefore, moved a third amendment, to the effect that no new stock have a preference or priority of dividend over the previous dividend shares. The CHAIRMAN then put Mr. Morton's amendment, when only six hands were held up in favour of it. Mr. Wood's motion was al,o negatived by a large majority. Mr. WOOD demanded a scrutiny. The meeting were going to a scrutiny when our report left. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, OCT. 11. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The share market was not quite so active as yesterday, and prices declined.

Yesterday a general court of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers was held at the Court house, Greek-street, Soho-square. Present, Lord Ebrington, in the chair; i'dr. S. M. Peto, M.P., Sir J. Burgoyne, Captain Dawson, Captain Har ness, Mr. E. Lawes, Mr. T. Hawes, and Mr. P. Hardwick. - Five weeks having elapsed since the last court, the business paper was unusually heavy, the estimates for works recommended amounting in the aggregate to 13,350/. 4s. 10d. SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 12, 1850. PAYMENTS 01' THE COMMISSION. At the opening of the court the existing practice in reference to payments by the Commission was brought under consideration. Under the present system it was required that the cheque or order for each particular amount should receive the signature of six Commis sioners, being the number required to constitute a full court. As a good deal of inconvenience and delay arose from this regulation, it was determined that one Commissioner should be deputed to examine the ac counts during the week, and, being satified of their accuracy, that his signature should be sufficient to each cheque. In order to carry out this regulation more satisfactorily, it was agreed that a balance-sheet containing the exact state of the funds and liabilities of the Commission should be drawn up and presented weekly to the general court, or to the committee ap pointed to inspect the accounts. It was ordered that a uniform rate of 6d. in the pound be made on the undermentioned districts of this Commission, viz. :—The Spitalfields, Wapping, and Nightingale-lane Level ; Hackney Brook Level ; Lower Wapping or Green Bank Level; Hermirage street Level; and the eastern division of the NV est minster sewers. Tenders were accepted from Messrs. Humphreys and Thirsk fur works in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's. Lord EBRINGTON remarked that these works would take in a large block of houses in a most wretched neighbourhood, including Church-lane, Carrier-street, and several other s ; and they would then be provided with a proper and efficient drainage. On the sum of 71. 15s. being proposed to be voted to Mr. Inspector Field, of the metropolitan detective police, Lord EBRINGTON said, in reference to the sum proposed, that some time since a portion of the Ord nance map was destroyed in the office, and that Mr. Inspector Field had been employed to trace the offender. As he had rendered very efficient service in tbis duty, he supported the sum now proposed. at may be remembered that some sheets of the Ordnance map were wilfully destroyed in the drawers in which they were placed in the office, by nitrate of silver being poured upon them.) The proposition was unanimous agreed to. It was agreed, on the recommendation of the com mittee, that 1,600 feet of sewer should be constructed near to the Cutlers' Alinhouses at Ball's-pond, at an expense of 960/. It was stated that this plan would fall in with any general plan of drainage that might be after wards adopted for the drainage of the north side of the Thames. The recommendation was agreed to. _ _ _ It was next proposed that 2,090 feet of sewer, four feet high and two feet six inces wide, should be con structed from James street, along York-street, and across the Broadway and Tothill-street, Westminster, at an expense of 2,1941. Lord EBRINGTON said it might be satisfactory to the public generally to know that the outfall for this sewer would be into the New Victoria-street sewer, in continuation of• the general plan of drainage, cf which that sewer formed an important branch.

FOREIGN WOOL, LEEDS, OCT. 11.—The demand for foreign wool continues without any material challge_a' about an average business having been done. Prig' also remain firm. 11 1 ENGLISH WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, OCT. 11.--Sa l e s combing wools have Ix en to a moderate extent. Pr i _ c . l firm and stationary. In short wools we do not quote Dv' alteration. 1 LIVERPOOL WooL, OCT. 10.—Business in se oo , o o quiet, but steady, at late prices. Public sales of 2,d ,. bales are fixed for the 23d, consisting of East 10 1 Buenos Ayres, Oporto, Egyptian, &c., as well as item lot of South Australian. The imports the p as t week 83 Mogadore, 20 Buenos Ayres, 39 Mohair, 437 P is India, 254 Adelaide, and 1,725 Alpaca. LEEDS.—There has nut been near so much d° i .t s % either in the markets or by direct deliveries from ""t, manufacturers as has been the case for a long time Psi but the stocks are yet very light in all hands, and 1 3 ,r' e , 0 are firm. A moderate quantity of business has 0 ,1 % . done in the warehouses since this day week, princirl',l by drapers from all parts of the country, but the la e buyers have done less than of late. BnanFortn, THURSDAY —Wools—There is no di< sition to enter freely into the purchase of combing o ° ° ,,i and there is a sort of lethargy apparent. The prio ri wool in the country being higher than here ta,*o stapkrs hold firm, but large sales cannot be effect the prices sought. Noils and broker are in good recri ti g at late prices. Yarns—The inquiries for yarns s r ip keep pee with the production; a good many orders 11 0 , yet on hand, and the chances are there will be no se g o lation of stocks during this side Christmas, as ther e • rather wore doing for Lancashire. Pieces—There 15 0 f.ir demand for goods for the season, and as the advi l t k on goods has not kept race with that in wools and Yu r ,"i both in worsted and cotton there is less chance of ""' • alteration in price. MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—The arrival of three (18 1 1 4 later °Ames from America, announcing a very 1e 4 , 71 1 state of the United States' cotton market, has had 1- . depressing effect on business here. Very little ets dente is felt here in the continuance of the present b'eo, rates. The market to-day has been exceedingly dil os and though producers are tolerably firm, b a rge 41 evidently unwilling to give present rates for all ° beyond what will satisfy immediate wants. 1 ,0 0 LEICESTER.—Both the London and country P" - lat continue buoy, and a good demand for hose, exceP'el the better kind of wrought work, keeps up. The 4 , 1 - 0 hosiery and glove branches are also very brisk, a", te d the former large orders remain for execution. WO r- os yarns have risen a halfpenny per lb. this week'; spinners thus following the increased value of thew bi b'. and they say they cannot replace their stook even a rt y advance. Wools are very firm at a shade advance price. MINING INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. E. LAWES said that the question of house drainage was very important, and he had two propo sitions to make upon the sunject. In the first place he would give notice of the making of a bye-law, which should empower their surveyor to report to the court where any house about to be built, in the course of c onstruction, or not occupi e d, is without proper drainage. Parries offending against this regulation will be liable to a penalty of 201. In the second place, to order the district surveyors to send in notices of the proposed plan of drainage for any house about to be built under the provisions of the Metro politan Buildings Act, which the Commissioners also had power to enforce under the 47th section of the Metropolitan Sewers Act. These two provisions taken together, he believed would be the means of obtaining the requisite information for en forcing the improved regulations as to house drainage. They proposed that their own surveyor should ad dress the owners of property as to the state of the premises, and to point out to them the liabilities under the Metropolitan Sewers Act, as well as under the Nuisances Removal Act, for non-compliance with these regulations. Mr. HARDWICK said it was essential that when ground was let for building the plans of the houses proposed to be built, and also of the drainage, should be submitted to this Court. After a few words from other Commissioners the notices were received, and ordered to be taken into consideration on a future day. The following works were ordered :-355 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer in Mead's-street, and 340 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer in Little Dean-street, 1881. ; 275 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer in West Basin-road, Pim lico, on payment into court by the trustees of Grosvenor-place district of 251, 701.; 462 feet of 18-inch pipe sewer in the line of the Falcon Brook, upon Mr. Ravenhill paying into court the sum of 401., 1201. ; 80 feet of 18-inch pipe sewer in Grove lane, Camberwell, 20/. ; 1,650 feet of 18-inch pipe sewer at Balham-hill, on payment into court by Mr. Helps of 1101, 3301.; 1,100 feet of 18-inch pipe sewer in the open sewer dividing the parishes of Clapham and Lambeth, 275/. ; 64 feet of pipe sewer at the rear of Blackwall-street, Poplar, 32/. ; 130 feet of sewer at the rear of Brunswick-street, Poplar, 65/. ; cleansing open sewers at Merton, Surrey, and to compel the owners of houses to provide covered cesspools for the drainage of their premises, 100/. ; 1,820 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer in Pleasant-place, Shepherd's Bush, 2701.; 200 feet of brick sewer in the Fulham-road, and 750 feet of 18-inch, 395 feet of 15-inch, 490 feet of 12-inch pipe sewers in Thistle grove and Drayton-grove, 4861.; 300 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer in line of open sewer at Acton, 771. ; 500 feet of 12-inch pipe sewer at the rear of Hyde-park Gate, South Kensington, 104/. ; 1,770 feet of brick sewer, 4 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 9 inches, along the Hampstead-road, 1,393/. 17s.

WAKEFIELD, OCT. 4.—The arrival of wheat is good hut less than for some weeks; there is considerable firm. ness evinced today; and though no advance is obtain. able, there is decidedly more inclination to go into stock. Common qualities of barley are difficult to sell, and cheaper; good samples maintain their previous value. Oats and shelling are in limited request, and beans are without change in value. Old• New.

LIVERPJOL, OCT. 11.—This morning's market was well attended by both town and country dealers, and the business transacted in wheat was to a fair extent, at fully Tuesday's prices generally:—lrish new, in some instances, was ld per bushel dearer. Flour still moves freely into consumption, and prices are quite sustained. There was no change in the value of oats, barley, beans, and peas. 29s per 4801bs was obtained for choice American yellow Indian corn, which is an im provement of fully 6d per quarter, but the demand is not very active. NEWBURY, OCT. 10—Our supply of wheat to-day is very large, and the quality and condition are but in different. The demand is extremely slack; and although old and the finest selected new realised nearly the re duced rates of last week. other descriptions must be noted 2s per qr lower, with a-considerable quantity re maining unsold. Fine malting barley sells freely at late rates; but distilling and grinding, of which the principal bulk consists, are with difficulty sold at is to 2s per qr decline. Beans, oats, anal peas, short supply, with a dull sale at unaltered rates. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. li.—The West India market is very firm, and the sales of the week reach 550 htds, at prices not generally before obtainable. In other descriptions the sales are unimportant, excepting foreign, in' which further transactions have been done. The refined market continues very steady. In rum the transactions of the week are quite unimportant.— Bristol Mercury EXETER, OCT. 11.—Cattle —The supply to-day has been small, in consequence of the fair at Alphingten, on Wednesday. Fat beef sold at 73 9d to Bs, and in some cases 8s 4d per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s 6d to 6s 6d; geese, 4s to 6s each; ducks, 3s 6d to 4s 6d; fowls, 2s 6d to 33 6d per couple ; pheasants, 5s to 6s 6d; partridges, 2s 6d to 3s per brace; hares, 2s to 2s 9d; roasters, 45 to 5s 6d each; butter lid per lb; eggs, 16 to 18 for ls. Wool—This article is rather butter worth—staplers being free buyers at 7d per lb., and in some instances giving 741 per lb. Corn Exchange —A great number of farmers are taking advantage of the tine weather to get their land in order for winter sowing, and the attendance of growers has been there fore slack. The downward tendency of the Mark-lane market, on Monday, has made the millers very cautious in their operations, and the business was dull, at a re duction in the price of last week. The best new wheat was not worth more than 5s per bushel, nor would the millers give more than 5s 6d f.ar the very primest old; but in the latter article very little business was done. For foreign wheat the same price was asked as last week, but nothing was done.
