Etc Vott'o ecnur. LOVE WITHOUT HOPE. Oh! wherefore should I idly grieve O'er faded flowers that bloom no more Why is my heart so loath to l'eave A hope that doubt hath shadowed e'er I Why do those eyes that sweetly beam On others—but no more on me, Still, still aware the torturing dream Of all that they could be ? Though other days their joys may bring, They will not bring my bosom peace— Though withered hopes no more may sting, The sigh of Memory cannot cease. For o'er the heart that loves in vain Remembrance dwells with vengeful power. Recalling scenes of joy and pain— The meeting—and the hour. Oh ! yes—that love has holier grown In secret thus all hopeless nurst, And the wild bliss the heart hath known, Is felt—as it was felt at first. And that bright form, though lost to view, Dwells in the breast unchangingly— And still those eyes of holiest hue chew forth their brilliancy. The lonely bosom still must bear Some traces of its former joy, Which not those hours of grief and care, Nor Time's fell hand, can e'er destroy— The faded flower still is sweet, The hope, though false, is ever bright ; Yeta4 the dark thought—" we may not meet"— My heart is wrapt in night ! Oh ! must I ever vainly love— Doth nothing live to smile on me— Say—roust my path of life but prove A pilgrimage of misery? What unknown fiend, with viewless hand. Destroys and ruins all I do ? My purest hopes all vainly stand— lle dries that fountain too. E'en now—the love that's burning here, Alas I all hopeless seems to burn ; 'Tid vain to si4h—lo drop a tear. — And yet I know not where to turn. Thou art the maiden I adore— The joy—the fulness of my heart, A beacon on life's lonely shore— And must it too depart ? August, 1833. SEnnr WmtpEc LITERATURE. THE PLAYS- AND POEMS OF SHAKSPEAEE. Valpy. London. The eleventh volume of this beautiful edition has j ustbcen pub lished. Its contents are Pericles, Prince of Tyre—Corio lanus—and Julius Caesar. Notwithstanding all the attempts that have been made to saddle Shakspeare with the author ship of " Pericles," we still cling to our doubts as to the 4sessi bility of his having written anything so inferior to and unlike his other works. The frontispiece, from Westall, reminds us of Fuseli. This number is in nu respect inferior to its pre decessors. THE FAMILY CLASSICAL LIBRARY. No. XLV. Vaipy. London. The contents of this number are the Rev. R. Potter's tran slation of " iEschylus," to which is prefixed an Essay on the Grecian Drama, with a Biographical Memoir of /Eschylus, by Mr. Harford, of Bristol, by whose permission it has been re printed. This is one of the most useful works that has issued from the Valpy press. VALPY'S NATIONAL GALLERY OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE. Valpy. London. The third part of this work has just been published, con taining twelve engravings, from Guercino's Dead Christ with Angels—Landscape, with the story of Niobe, by Richard Wil son—Susanna and the Elders, Lodovico Caracci—Pylades and Orestes, Benjamin West—Portraits of Ferdinand de Medicis and his Lady, Velasquez—the Market Cart, Gainsborough— Road Scene, Gaspar Poussin—Madonna and Child; Il Parme giano ; Holy Family, Rubens—the Banished Lord, Reynolds— and Marriage-h-la-Mode, No. 3, Hogarth. This number does great credit to Mr. Starling's taste and judgment, both in his selection of subjects, and in the execution of them. ILLUSTRATIONS TO THE POETICAL `WORKS OF SIR WALTER SCOTT. Part I. Tilt. London. This beautiful work is announced for completion in twelve monthly parts, each part containing five plates, from the pen cils and gravers of the most eminent artists of the day. The contents of the number now before us are Branksome Tower—Ben Venue—lona—Metehill--and Lord Marmion's Armour, and the Heraldry of the Heroes of Flodden. To the admirers of Scott's poetry, these illustrations of the locali ties so graphically sketched by his magic pen must be almost invaluable. THE BORES OF MY ACQUAINTANCE. [FROM THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.] Your bore knows an easy man by instinct. A good temper is the natural prey of the species. They flock about it as wasps about a sugar-bowl, vultures round a gibbet, or Whigs in place round the abuses they rail at in opposition. As to me, lam a banquet for them, such as the racy talents of Burgess never prepared, 'such as Heliogabalus would have thought cheaply purchased with half his empire. Town or country- makes no difference. Winter or summer, it is the same thing. At home or abroad, no remission. The true bore is no respecter of times, places, or seasons : by sea or by land to escape him is impossi ble. He is omnipresent. He exists in every point of space and every moment of time. Go down into the deep and you meet him in the cabin of the steam-packet. Go up into the air in a baloon and you are sure to meet him descending in a parachute. Go with Parry to the polar waters, and though you miss the north-west passage, you will find, in all human proba bility, looking out for you from the top of an ice-berg, the Bore—the identical Bore—to escape from wh..)se mortal clutches you have jeopardied your life amongst the white bears and Esquimaux. Ay ! and he is not only omnipresent but im mortal. When did death ever carry off a bore ? A dead bore is as rare a phenomenon as a dead donkey or a dead attorney. No, sir, your true bore possesses the elixir vita. The typhus will rage and carry off all the worthy inoffensive people in a district—l have known it—yet it shall not come nigh him. No; though the whole faculty be called in, the recovery of a bore is as certain as the succession of day to night. It was the same with the cholera. The bore was the only member of the com munity who was safe: every body else laid in a stare of cajcput and French brandy; he kept his money in his purse, and -walked abroad, even through noisome alleys, in perfect security. I watched with the most intense anxiety to -observe the effects of that pestilence upon the bores of my acquaintance. Not a death; not the slightest blue tinge on one of their hateful physiognomies. I have no doubt the two plagues had a mutual understanding, or were influenced by an esprit de corps. It would have been as unhandsome in the cholera to kill a bore, as in one highwayman to blow out the brains of another. Allow me to introduce first to your notice the gentleman who holds the post of musical bore in my establishment—a sad mis creant—a fellow who would have softened the heart of Pharoah better than all the vermin in the insect kingdom. Du I say too much? Not three weeks since, he had an appointment with his music-master, Signor Tantaracini, to give him a lesson on the bassoon—think for an instant of the bassoon!—three times a week at my lodgings, without asking my permission, and with the thorough knowledge of the fact, that I abominate music of all kinds, vocal and instrumental, as devoutly as a Jew does swines' flesh. While the weather remained tolerably fine, the thing was supportable, for I could take my hat the moment the Signor arrived, and saunter through the street, or ramble into the country; but latterly it was raw, wet, and cold, and then the lessons on the bassoon we3te, as old Dogherry says, " most tolerable and not to be endured." I had no alternative but to stay within doors and submit to be practised and dinned almost to death. The infernal bassoon ! The trump of discord was nothing to it. Yet I have reason to think that worse tortures are being prepared for me. It was but yesterday that I heard a hint dropped about the establishment of a catch club at my quarters. The members reside, it appears, in remote corners of the town, and are in want of some central place to hold their meetings. My lodgings are just the thing to suit them ; and as to any objection on my part to the arrangement, that is what, I will venture to say, not one of the songsters will ever trouble his head about. I must succumb or migrate; and the latter is out of the question, for I have taken my lodgings by the year, and have no pretence whatever for a quarrel with my landlady. Doctor Adam Clarke, one, day, took a troublesome young ensign up by the waistband of his pantaloons and flung him out of a three-pair-of-stairs window. That was the proper way to deal with a bore; and there is only one thing prevents me from adopting the Doctor's way of proceeding towards Signor Tantaracini's pupil. lam unhappily what the Doctor was not—an easy man. Thev spare labour, grudge no cost, the re i s no sacr ifice they do not make to get at me. One individual—l call him my Valetudinarian bore—will travel post, three successive days and nights for no discoverable purpose on earth save to inform me of the state of hi t s alimentary canal,' or acquaint me with the superabundant energy of his ' muscular system,' or give me a history as long as Sir Charles Grandison, and about as in teresting, of the progress of a certain pain or ache, which ori ginated under his midriff, and gradually proceeded to the great toe of his right foot, from whence it took a spring, precisely at' five minutes past three in the morning, into the corresponding digit of the lett, and then ascended again, until it got back, he assures me upon his honour, to the precise s p o t un d er t h e mid riff, from whichit first started. Would it had travelled to better purpose and given him his quietus. But to give you a further idea of this worthy, (who, by the bye, is as fat as Mr. B—o G -n and as robust as Hercules,) he is literally an ambulatory medicine-chest, or walking druggist's shop. He is never an instant unprovided with James's powders, effer vescent magnesia, salts of all liLalas, concentrated essence of Jamaica ginger, soluble Cayenne, and twenty other things, which, not having a pharmacopeia at hand, 1 cannot now enu merate. He never takes an excursion, were it only to Bray or Kingstown, without a box of Abernethy's pills in his waist coat pocket, and many a time I have carried 'Buchan's Domestic and ' Paris on Diet' for him, through the streets of London, (where I have frequently had the mishap to meet my • malade imaginaire,' ) and thought myself well off that he did not saddle me likewise with his 'Accum on Culinary Poisons,' and the works of Mr. St. John Long.' • " My literary bore is one of the most efficient officers on my s t a ff. 'He is worse than a rack or wheel; Phalaris would have made him his prime minister. How shall I give an adequate idea of this living instrument of torture ? I call him literary, merely because he styles himself so, for of all the endowments of a writer I never could discover that he was gifted with more than three—to wit, pen, ink, and paper. With these, however, he has achieved prodigies: and if not the most luminous, he is perhaps the most vo!urninous author extant. To be sure he never appears in print—the publishers and editors take care of that; but it is so much the worse for me. If a dull book is a nuisance, imagine the honors of dull manuscripts; and then conceive the felicity of my situation who am compelled to read every line that this blockhead is pleased to write. I must peruse all his repudiated pamphlets; I must wade through all his re jected articles; not a paragraph or letter of his inditing is kicked out of a newspaper-office with contumely, but I must pore over at hiS discretion. His papers make a tour of all the periodicals in the kingdom; but you, Editors, have an easy life of it; you see at a glance that a contribution of half a ton weight will not do, and you forthwith cattier it with one of those cant observations you rejoice in, such as Profundus is too deep for our pages,' or • Lacon must excuse us; we never insert ar ticles that we can scarcely lift.' This done, you throw your selves hack in your easy chairs, and pair your nails, or perhaps slumber; but it is then that my tribulations commence :—what you reject I must read ; nor will either indisposition or business excuse me_. 11, is easy to say, why not pretend to read, and send the nonsense back pencilled here and there in the margin. I have tried it without any success. I must read or I must listen. The law of the Medes and Persians was not more fixed. Nor will a cursory perusal serve; for lam actually ex amined, and if found deficient in his execrable trash, woe is me ! Never did schoolboy, dubious of a concord, so quail before the rod of an Etonian potentate, as Ido on these occasions. Ima gine the being-asked your opinion, seriatim, of every line of an ode as long as Chevy Chase, and as leaden as Blackmore's Job, or one of Bob Montgomery's epics, with the certainty staring you in the face of being punished for everymistake by a decla mation of the whole passage by the inexorable author. Imagine too the monthly recurrence of this martyrdom; and no security against a still more rapid return of such inflictions. What shall I do when the sphere of his toils embraces the Penny Maga zines, in which event my sufferings will be hebdomadal? • • • • " The next plague on my list is my political bore, and little less truculent - he is than his literary confederate. You shall have a few hasty touches :—he prattles for ever of his political career, and never gives an opinion without staking his reputa tion as a public man upon his correctness. His talk is of pro tocols and plenipotentiaries, and he is not five minutes in your company without hoping and trusting that his principles are too well known to need explanation ; a fellow, I protest solemnly, without talents to administer the affairs of Ireland's Eye—who could not tell you the difference between a Jacobin and a Ja cobite, and who once, in my own hearing, expressed his belief that the American tariff was a species of opossum. A few years ago he was called to the chair at a county meeting, where, in consequence of a tremendous hurricane, not half a dozen per sons were present; some wag, acquainted with his extraordinary asinine endowments, complimented him on the fervour of his patriotic zeal, which a ride of twenty miles in a pelting snow storm hail failed to cool; the dunce's ambition took fire, and he has ever since considered himself as a public character, and spoken of himself as the property of his country. Althoug;h, perhaps, no cabinet minister is more profoundly ignorant, ho looks on himself as nothing less than a statesman, and laments daily the want of " a master mind," an expression always in his mouth,. at the helm of affairs. He prefaces remarks that would discredit Lord Althorp with—" to take an enlarged view of the question," —or, "to go to the bottom of the subject,"— or, " to look at the matter with the eve of a philosopher ;" and I am, of course, the•favoured individual to whom be imparts his vast views ; nor do I get my enlightenment gratis; every new ray costs me a coat-button, or a fee to the doctor. He will de tain me an hour on a gusty day on Carlisle-bridge, or at the convergence of half a dozen streets, to inform me that, by put ting things together, and looking sharply into passing events, he has arrived at the conclusion—he should not wonder if I was startled at. the boldness of it—that the Whigs have sunk into contempt, or that Lord Anglesea's talents for government are not of the first-rate order, or that Lord John Russell is not a great man, or some other observation equally original, and beyond the reach of ordinary intellects. The last piece of in formation, relative to the noble Paymaster of the Forces, cost me a rheumatic fever. " Such, Sir, are a few specimens of the bores of my acquaint ance; such the daily life, or rather the daily dying of an easy man. Many interesting members of the same horrid family remain unpourtrayed. If lam lucky enough not to bore yeur readers with the present article, I shall resume next month my sad story, always provided that I survive the Catch Club, or that the present parliament does not go off suddenly." CONTEMPORARY PRESS'. Of the various Commissions originated by the present Administration, about three•fourths of the members are reputed to be Unitarians or something worse. In the recent Commission for Inquiry into Corporations there are three Liverpool barristers of no standing and little repute, all Unitarians, exclusive of the rest, the majority of whom with the disinterested secretary are of the same cast. The Factory Commission and the Trade Com mission to Paris were similarly composed. The Law Commission has some of this leaven in it. The head of the Excise department has, at an expense of thousands to the country, been lately selected from the same sect— a sect, by the bye, the most contemptible in numbers of any in Great Britain. In short t.iese worshippers of self are to be found every where, and none so constant in besieging and storming the Treasury as they. This is a matter which more concerns Christian sectarians than the Church of England; for people with no religion have invariably been found the most dogged supporters of any religion incidentally connected with their own selfish purposes of aggrandisement. Such men as Parkes, Rushton, Bowring, or Chadwick would be, if their capa cities admitted, the firmest props of the church, provided they can flourish under it. The inclination of Lord Brougham towards Unitari anism has been talked of ; of course a man is judged by the company he habitually keeps. We are not among those who suspect his Lordship of fixed principles of any sort, except it be the principle of expediency am regards his own interests. Excepting that he is not sooowerful an orator, and in some other essentials not A. efficient a man, Lord Brougham is but the double of Mithbeau, and in nothing more evidently than the conversion of the labours of other men to his own profit without ac knowledgment. Like Mirabeau, he would rather falsify science or history than spoil a metaphor. Some time ago the Rev. Mr . Shepherd, an Unitarian and political doctor of Liverpool, was in London, and as an old friend of his Lordship, they often took their grog together. One Sunday morning he called upon his Lordship, who, when he was about to depart, offered to convey him to the chapel, where (as we understand) he wa s going to preach, in his own carriage. Shepherd, with more good sense than his host, represented the scandal it. might cause to see the carriage of the Lord High Chancellor of England at the door of an Unitarian chapel, and his Lordship cheek by jowl with an Unitarian parson. His Lordship persisted—perhaps damned the. world—and the thing was settled. At the moment how ever drew up the carriage of Chief Justice Denman, upon which his Lordship, having business with him, apologized to Shepherd, but handed him into Denman's carriage, and so he was driven to his meeting-house in the equipage, %lot Of the Lord Chancellor, but of the Lord Chief Justice of England. Shepherd himself tells the anecdote with great glee in all companies, and we are in consequence led to believe that the Liverpool Commissioners for corporation inquisition owe their appointment to the double advantage of their Unitarians ism and convivial qualifications for consorting with hir Lordship. Let the Dissenters look to it, for it is thei business—Guardian. The letter of Mr. Brougham, which we published in our last number, having given him the enjoyment of a full week's imaginary triumph over us, it is high time that we proceed to dissipate his delusions, by giving that true character to the subject of it which further inquiry enables us to impart. Mr. Brougham very considerately wrote to us, " that we might not go on in error." Now to one error we in the first place plead (runty ; but that it is one which in any wise improves the complexi9n of the matter, af ter the strong evidence we shall presently offer, we are persuaded that the hon. gentleman himself will scarcely be hardy enough to assert. The error was, that Mr. Brougham had commenced suits to ea( me new tithe-ex actions ; whereas he has only commenced one suit ; and this circumstance, mark, gives a far more odious colour to the act than before—as the followinsfacts will show:— In or about 1824, Hornby Hall and Udford estates in the parish of Brougham, were purchased by Lord Lonsdale. These, as well as other estates in the parish, were liable to payment in kind of the tithes of corn, green-crop, wool and lamb, to the Rev. Mr. Heelis, the rector of the parish ; and. up to the period we have just stated, the oc cupiers of Hornbv Hall and Udford had an opportunity of taking their tithes every year the same as their neigh bours. But Mr. Brougham, it would appear, was not satisfied with this arrangement ; and he persuaded the rector to grant him a lease of the tithes for twenty-one years—not, be it remembered, of the whole parish, but of this single farm only. And here is a mystery ; un less we could be so uncharitable as to suppose that his object was to attain the power of showing a little petty annoyance to the Lowther family; for the hon. gentle man agreed to pay £B4 a year for those tithes, whereas we are assured, on the authority of the tenant himself, that they are not worth £5Ol Well, the hon. member for Kendal was no sooner lessee of those tithes,—how he could have the conscience to meddle with such pol luted and polluting things, after all his wrathful denun ciations against them, we cannot now stay to inquire,— but he was no sooner lessee, than he commenced draw ing both corn and green tithes, until he found that the farmer would give him more for his turnips and potatoes than he could make of them any other way, when he re verted to the old plan : the corn, however, he still con tinues to draw ; and, as a wind-up, he the other day filed a bill in the court of Exchequer for the agistment tithe of this estate only. This little word only, then, corrects our error—we believe, we may say, in a double sense, our only error. But whilst it does so on our part, what does it on the part of our hon. opponent ? Wy hy, it be gets, first, the suspicion, that in the proceeding in ques tion he is influenced by the mostpaltry party feelings; and it shows, secondly, despite his own assurance of having " no interest'in the matter," that he has all the interest in it imaginable. And this brings us back to his letter. "'That you may not go on in error, I beg to inform you that my name is used by the rector as lessee—that the suit is his and his only, as he warranted to me the payment of agistment tithe of this farm, and gets aflarger rent in consequence." . So says Mr. Brougham,- and a very specious . sav it is, truly. "My name is used by the rector as lessee." What admirable plausibility ! " 'flee suit is his and his only, as he warranted to me the payment of agistment tithe of this farm, and gets a higher rent in consequence." Most admirable again! Well, suppose the rector did warrant you " the payment of agistment tithe of this farm"—why only of this farm, Mr. Brougham ? There are three other large estates in the parish, at Woodside, precisely in the Same situation as Hornby Hall so far as respects their li ability to the payment of agistment, the tithes of which are leased by Mr. Hutchinson • but no actions are com menced against the farmers of those estates, although there is the same rector in each case, and he is surely as much interested in recovering agistment at W' oodside as he is at Hornby : why then, we ask again, why, Mr. Brougham, if, as you say, " the suit is his and his only," is the farm of whose tithes you are the lessee the only one against which such suit is cojpmenced ? Until this be satis factorily answered, who can be expected to yield credit to such a defence as this ? But, fin ther, " The suit," continues Mr. Brougham, "is brought without any reference to Lord Tenterden's Act. Several years ago, notices of a suit for the tithe in question were given by the soli citors of the rector, which were only not proceeded in from the farmer promising to settle arrears. Besides, agistmeut tithe has been paid within twenty years to the rector." We pass by the anxiety here manifested to justify the suit in question, by one who has just before declared such suit to be the rector's and not his—" the rector's and his only,"—and who a few lines further on asserts that he " has no interest in the matter,"—we shall not, we say, dwell upon this, but come at once to the plain matter-of. fact. We are authorised, then, to state, that Mr. Nel son, the present tenant, has never paid one shilling for or in lieu of agistment tithe, and never promised to settle any arrears in order to stay proceedings against him. Mr. Nelson and his father have occupied the farm for upwards of 20 years ' - and he never knew anything paid for agistment. Of this we are assured from Mr. Nelson himself. ' Then, again, as to the suit being "brought without any reference to Lord Tenterden's Act,"—how does it happen that Mr. Brougham should take these tithes so long ago as nine years, and upon a lease of 21 years, in which, he says, agistment tithe is included, and yet the suit alluded to should not be commenced until within 'a few days of . Lord Tenterden's act coming into opera tion p for the hon. gentleman acknowledges in his Bill filed in the Exchequer, that lie has never received one farthing for agistment! To say the least of it, this is certainly a most remarkable, a most mysterious coinci dence ; and. until it is satisfactorily explained, Mr. Brougham must really excuse our hardness of belief. We have, we fear, well nigh wearied the patience of our readers with these dry details; but they were essen tial to the proper appreciation of the matter, and to sup port our serious charge of a Whig patriot being a tithe prosecutor. A pretty character, it must be confessed, for one of the presiding genii of reform and liberality, and such like high sounding virtues, to appear in. A Whig patriot, a reforming representative of the people, and brother of the Lord High Chancellor of England, a relentless exactor of tithes—and one, not by any of those accidents of birth, or profession, which make a man such against his own will, and in s pite o f hi s better feeling s , ' but one who has voluntarily assumed the obnoxious cha racter, either for a paltry party purpose, or for the sake of filthy lucre ! But after this dull infliction, we shall try to wind up with more of entertainment. Although the bill filed in the Court of Exchequer bears the name of James Brougham, and although its immedi ate purpose is to make good his own extravagant rent for the tithes referred to, the honourable gentleman yet as serts, that the suit is the rector's and not his—nay, that he "has no interest in the matter !" He will go snacks for the proceeds; they are his portion equally with the rector's; but as to the obloquy, the unpopularity of the thing, oh ! that, of course, belongs only to the parson ! " The suit," quoth he "is the rector's, and not mine. I have no interest in the matter"—not I! This reminds us of the excellent Fable of the Travellers and the Purse; and as the ingenious author of " iEsop in Rhyme" has given the sprightliest, if not the faithfullest relation of it, we here present his version as a happy illustration of the case before us : Two friends once were walking in sociable chat, ' When a purse one espied on the ground; " Oh see !" said be ("thank my good fortune for that), What a large sum of money I've found !" " Nay, do not say I," said his friend, "for you know 'Tis but friendship to share it with me;" " I share it with you !" said the other, "How so? He who found it the owner should be." " Be it so," said his friend; "but what sound do I hear ? `Stop thief!' one is calling to you; He comes with a constable close in the rear !" Said the other, "Oh! what shall we do !" "Nay, do not say we," said his friend, "for you know 'Twas you claimed the right to the prize; And since all the money was taken by you, With you all the obloquy lies !" —Carlisle Patriot. TURKEY AND ENGLAND.—A PA RALLEL.--Alth ough history, according to the kindly and patriotic Lord Plun kett, is but an " old almanack," still one cannot help paying some attention to its pages, even when they re late to a distant land, especially if they suggest to the mind comparisons which ought to operate like expe rience, and which, if they do not produce that effect, must prove to be the " shadows of coming events." In this spirit compare Turkey with England, and unless the hand of Providence should stay the plague, the only real important difference in the two cases will be, that the one is complete while the other is still in progress:— The present SULTAN is the WILLIAM the FOURTH is most sweeping Reformer that the most sweeping Reformer ever ruled the Othmans.

Perforate one of these at the centre, and fix it on the top of a tube, say a common quill.— Make the other, card ever so little concave, and place it over the first, the orifice of the tube being thus directly undel, and almost in contact with the upper card. Try to blow otf the upper card. You will find it impossible. We understand that the cause that counteracts the effects at first expected at this singular phenomenon has lately puzzled all the members of the Royal Society. A medal and a hundred guineas are said to be the reward of the successful discoverer. We recommend the ingenious reader to find it out. -Sheffield Mercury, ;.7.-bipping Entelligente.

LIVERPOOL CORN TRADE, SEINCEBIBER 19. The fresh arrivals of Grain since Tuesday are moderate. And the low prices at which new Wheats have been sold having brought orders down from the country, and the town dealers thinking the present a favourable time for purchasing, we have had a regular demand, though Only to a fair extent, on the terms of the annexed"currency. The de mand for grinding Barley and all articles of feedin c ; s t u ff continues , but though the stock is light, no impro vemen t i s realized. We have heard of *try few enqairies for Oats, and their value temains unchang ed. Our advices from Ireland state the'supplies of new Wheat to have been very liberal, but having brought to market what was already thrashed only, the needy farmers would continue to come forward.

U LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, tEpTEMBER 17. There was a large show of land carriage samples of new , Wheitt yesterday from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and some from (tie Lincoln shire coast, the quality and conditidn not sOlOod as heratofore• Al though b. few selected samples may have obtained about last weelei• prices, the trade generally was very heavy at a decline of is. 'ii 2s. Per quarter, and a good deal remained unsold at the close of the market ; fine old Wheat is rather more wanted, and maintabas prices. We halt a large supply of new Barley for the time of year; the quality very various, much of it being thin, steely, avid unripe; the sale was dull. Fine malting Corn fully supported prices, but a good deal of the secondary qualities were unsold. The supply of Oats was very small; the consumers who are out of stock are obliged to comply with an advance of Is. per quarter, but there was no briskness in the sale, and less doing than on Friday. A great many new Beans were offering; they are very hard and handsome, and the tirade, in consequence of the largeness of the supply, was Is. cheaper than at the close of the week. Grey Peas are scarce, and obtain high prices, a few being wanted; and white, being in very small supply reached 48s. for tile boilers. A great many new Tares are offering at rather lower prices. The duty on Barley, Brank, and Indian Corn was Is. 6d. per quarter lower last week. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, SEPTEMBER 19. In dry Butter we have little if any alteration to notice ; the demand since our last has been only on a limited scale, but prices are steady- The same remarks apply to pickled Butter.—Beef and Pork are with out alteration.—Bacon dull of sale.—The demand for dry Hams and Lard has improved, and higher prices are in some instanws asked for the finer descriptions of the litter.
