FLEETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST' RIDING JUNCTION. —At the half-yearly meeting on Saturday, Mr. T. B. Addison presided. It was stated that the agreement with the Longridge Company had not been perfected, and the meeting was therefore adjourned to the 12th instant. The proposition most approved of was that the Fleetwood line should be worked by a committee of both companies, and that the Longridge Company should take six-sevenths of the net profits of the whole line, and the West Riding Company one-seventh. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN.—The Government inspector has made his report on the fire which occurred in one of the London and North-Western trains in June last, from w'Lich it appears that the fire originated by spontaneous combustion in a portmanteau belonging to a passenger. ACCIDENTS TO STEAM VESSELS.—A return has-just appeared of the accidents to steam vessels reported to the Board of Trade since the Ist of January, 1847. The number of these is 104, in 23 of which lives were amounting as far as is known to 534. The number of cases which have been investigated agreeably to the Steam Navigation Act is only 20. AN IRON BALL ROOM FOR BALMORAL.—A spacious structure of the corrugated iron plates has been erected by Messrs. Bellhouse and Co., Eagle Foundry, Manches ter, and destined to supply to the royal residence at Bal moral an additional room for various purposes of a social and festal character, as ball-room, dining-room, private theatre, &c. SARAH BARBER.—Th is criminal, who up to arecentdate has been lying in Nottingham County Gaol under sen tence of death, was on Wednesday conveyed to Millbank prison, prior to removal to one of the penal colonies, her punishment having been commuted to transportation for life. When informed of her destiny, she was much affected, having cherished hopes of receiving a full pardon. SUDDEN DEATH OF JOHN H. TREMAYNE, ESQ., LATE M.P. Pon, CORNWALL.—This venerable gentleman, brother-in-law to Lady De Dunstanville, and possessing a large estate in the county, dropded down suddenly and expired at the railway station at Exeter, on Tuesday. He was in his 72(1 year, and had been staying on a visit to Sir Henry F. Davie, Bart., at Creedy House. FORGERY BY A CLERGYMAN.—The Rev. H. P. Hope, incumbent of Leigh, and chaplain of the Sherborne Union Workhouse, has been committed for trial on the charge of forging a bill of exchange for £2OO. There are several other cases of a similar character against the prisoner. It is supposed that the rev. gentleman was deeply involved in railway speculations, and being unable to extricate himself from the difficulties by which he was surrounded, adopted these desperate means of raising money to meet his engagements. The amount of his defalcations and liabilities are said to be enormous. MARRIAGE OF MISS HELEN FAUCIT.—At the church of St. Nicholas, Brighton, on Monday morning, was cele brated the nuptials of Miss Helen Faucit Saville (the charming Helen Faucit of the dramatic world) with Mr. Theodore Martin, solicitor, reputed one of the writers in the Edinburgh Review. The ceremony was conducted in a comparatively private manner, though the rumour of it drew a considerable number of persons to the sacred edifice. At its coiclusion the wedding party returned in their carriages to the Pier Hotel, where an elegant d6jeuner awaited them, and soon afterwards the bride and bride groom departed, for Paris. HOMICIDE BY A LUNATIC.—Mr. William Briggs, a shipowner at Blyth, Northumberland, has been labouring for some time under confirmed monomania. A few days ago he became violent, and his maid-servant rushed out of the house in terror. A policeman named Patrick Hart ford interfered, and struck Mr. Briggs several violent blows on his arms, head, and shoulders. Mr. Briggs im mediately thrust his walking-stick with great force into the policeman's left eye, and the brain being penetrated to the depth of two inches, death speedily ensued. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of "homicide by misad venture." Mr. Briggs has been removed toalunaticasylum. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—A few days ago one of Lord Willoughby d'Eresby's gamekeepers was out early in the morning watching the game on the moor of Orchill, and being much fatigued, he lay down among the heather to rest himself, when he fell asleep. On waking, he was greatly alarmed to find a large adder twisted tightly round one of his legs; hastily shaking it off, he attacked it with his stick, when it instantly turned on him, hissing in a furious manner ; however, in a few minutes he managed to destroy it. It has been examined by several of the medical faculty, who pronounced it one of the most venomous description. It measured one toot nine inches in length.—Scotsman. SUICIDE BY A LADY.—At Cheltenham on Thursday, Mrs. Crowther, the widow of the late Colonel Crowther, of the 27th Fusileers, committed suicide by precipitating herself from her bedroom window, and the day of the fatal act was the 13th anniversary of her husband's death. The deceased had been suffering for some time from a severe attack of bronchitis, and her mind had become evidently affected. She was found lying in the yard, hav ing fallen from a height of fifty feet. She breathed heavily twice and then expired. Her skull was frightfully fractured, her right arm broken, and other severe injuries were also discovered. She was upwards of sixty years of age, and very corpulent. Her fashionable reunions were the life of the Cheltenham season. SHIPS, COLONIES, AND COMMERCE.—The shipowners of Shields have just transmitted to the shipowners of Great Britain a report of the proceedings at the dinner to G. F. Young, Esq., M.P., at Tynemouth, and in doing so they have addressed the shipowners generally, impressing on them the necessity of all the marine boroughs being prepared, at the approaching general election, to return members to parliament who understand the nature of our commercial marine, and are prepared unequivocally to support such measures as will secure a just protection to all British interests. They strenuously urge the shipowners to cast off the " apathy and indifference with which they have hitherto stood by and seen their best interests sacri ficed and their very existence endangered by the reckless arid unscrupulous proceedings of a party inimical to all British interests, and completely devoid of either patriotic feeling or sympathy with a country to which they are alike alien in biood and Laing." TRIP TO GRETNA.—On Saturday last, the good folks about Gillhead, Windermere, were put upon the qui vice by the appearance of a carriage and four, which took up its stand on the road, not far from the back entrance of Storrshall, until the occupant of the carriage, a gallant captain, who resides at the foot of the lake, and is of some local sporting celebrity, was joined by a young lady who had secretly left her sister at Gillhead. At the word of command the postboys made all speed for Kendal, en route for the facile temple of Hymen, situated on the other side of the borders. The secret soon leaked out and another carriage and four wore shortly on the traces of the loving pair, overtaking them at Kendal, where they were comfortably at supper at one of the principal inns. However, discussion being of no use, and force out of the question, the enamoured couple were, we believe, after considerable parley, left to take their way to Gretna as they pleased.—Westmorland Gazette. NEW ROMISH CHURCH AT HARTLEPOOL.—On TllllrS day the ceremony of opening a new Romish church, called " the church of the Immaculate Conception," took place at the above port, at which Monsignor Wiseman was present. The church is a very neat building, erected under the direction of Mr. Hansom, the architect, and is capable of accommodating about 500 persons. It was commenced in July, 1850. The admission to the public in the morning was by tickets, varying in price from 20s. to 2s. 6d., and the church was not quite filled. High mass commenced at eleven o'clock, and the number of bishops and priests dressed in their robes amounted to between forty and fifty. The bishops were—Dr. Briggs (of Beverley). Dr. Hogarth (of Hexham), Dr. Morris (of Troy), and Dr. Brown (of Shrewsbury). The officiating bishop was Dr. Hogarth. The service concluded at half past one, and shortly afterwards an address was presented to Monsignor Wiseman. BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE JUNC TION RAILWAY.—The half-yearly meeting of this com pany was held on Saturday, at Birkenhead. Alderman Bancroft, the chairman of the board, presided. Mr. J. Gibson, the secretary, read the report, which stated that the fearful accident which occurred in the Sutton tunnel on the 30th of April last, involved the board in great diffi culty, and the consequences to the company have been very serious. . It goes on to state:— "The number of passengers on the occasion was far greater than they bad estimated; yet, notwithstanding this fact, the provision made would have been sufficient b u t for the shower of snow and sleet which fell near Frodsham, and the fact noticed in the report of Captain Laffan, and .confirmed by our own engineer, that some of the third-class carriages were so far overloaded as to press the framework of the carriage on time wheels, thus preventing the revolution of the wheels, and, in effect, acting as a break. "Although the board is not responsible for the loading of the carriages at the Chester station, they do not blame the offi cers or the servants of that station, as it was clear from the evidence given at the inquiry that the crowd was so great, and, owing to the determination of the passengers to get off by the first train, so much confusion was created, as to put it out of the power of the officers at the station to regulate the number who took possession of the carriages. "The directors have deemed it prudent not to answer Cap tain Laffan's report till the questions under dispute are settled. In the meantime they do not hesitate to state that the conduct of Captain Laffan was unfair to the company, and that hit report is exaggerated and incorrect. "An act to construct a branch line from the North-Western Railway, in Salford, for the purpose of enabling this company, if they shall so decide, to establish a passengers' and goods' station on the property of the Manchester Bonding Warehouse Company, has been passed into law, and it now rests with the company to determine what course they will adopt in respect of station accommodation at Manchester. The board were also instructed to oppose the application made by the Warrington and Altrincham and the Shrewsbury and Chester Companies to obtain compulsory running powers over the line. In the case of the Warrington and Altrincham Company the board suc ceeded in getting the clause giving running powers struck out of the bill, bat in the case of the Shrewsbury and Chester Corn pany the opposite decision was adopted by Parliament. It. however, remains to be seen how far the decision, unjust in itself, can be rendered innocuous to thi. company. " The combinations proposed by the various railway compa nies between Chester and the south brought the board into communication with the companies connected with the Great Western Company, and on The 19th clay of April last a proposi tion was made to this company in the following terms : " The associated companies to pay the Birkenhead Company 3 per cent. per annum, from the 30th of June, 1832, to the 30th of June, 1855, or 1856; 3i per cent. for the following year, with all additional profits made on the line; and afterwards 4 per cent. per annum in perpetuity, or the option to be given to the Birkenhead Company to enter into the proposed amalgamation with the associated companies. "This proposal, made no doubt in good faith, was declined, being less than the board had proposed, and less than they con sidered likely to receive the assent of the proprietors. " By the new agreement with the London and North-Western Company this company is enabled to carry over the London and North-Western line to Manchester any traffic brought to them. in whatever carriages they may happen to be ; and, in return, this company undertakes not to charge for foreign traf fic to Manchester a lower rate than charged for local traffic.' • The revenue account showed that £38,3L9 had been re ceived during the half-year, And £24,762 expended,leaving a balance of £13,567. At the corresponding period of 1850 the receipts were £26,923, and the expenses £16,863, leaving a balance of £10,060. The available balance for dividend enables the shareholders to declare it at the rate of £1 10s. per cent. per annum. The balance applicable to dividends, after a payment required for interest on bonds, amounted to £14,682. Amongst the general charges in the abstract of working expenses was an entry, " Moiety of expense of acci dent at Sutton, £600." Reso lutions were passed adopting the report, and approving of the dividend. BLACKBURN.—The half-yearly meeting was held on Wednesday. The chairman (Mr. Hornby) expressed the determination of himself and directors, being under an agreement for ten years with the Lancashire and York shire (though not sanctioned by parliament), to be no parties to a repudiation. The Ambergate Railway has declared a dividend of Is. per share, free of income-tax. The Midland Railway directors have contradicted a report that they had made deductions from the wages of their staff to make good the damages awarded to Mrs. Blake. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE.—The meeting of this company was held on Wednesday. The dividend of 15s on each £5O share, and of 3s 9d on each £l2 103 share, being at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, was carried unanimously. The meeting then resolved to raise £91,200 by the creation of preference shares under the Maryport and Carlisle deviation Act. SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—The half-yearly meeting of this line was held on Wednesday, Mr. R. Chawner in the chair. The report, which was passed, proposed the bor rowing of a sum of £76,000. 3632 shares, upon which £2 93. 9d. had been paid, were declared forfeited. YORK AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.—The half yearly meeting was held on Tuesday, at York; H. S. Thompson, Esq., in the chair. The chairman explained that only about one-seventh of the expenditure of the last half-year had arisen from works undertaken by the pre sent directors. He referred at some length to the improved prospects of the company. The suits against Mr. Hudson in chancery were progressing satisfactorily. The dividend, at the rate of one per cent. per annum, was declared, less income-tax. NORFOLK.—The meeting of this company was held on Thursday; Mr. Peto, M.P., in the chair. The statement of receipts and expenditure on capital account showed a balance of £1,646 12s. Bd, against receipts which had only amounted to £3,516 3s 3d for the half year, whilst the expenditure had reached the amount of £5,162 15s 11d. BRISTOL AND EXETER.—The meeting of this railway was held on Thursday. The chairman, J. W. Buller, Esq.. congratulated the proprietors upon the satisfactory position of the company, and upon the declaration of the best dividend that had ever been declared by the company since it had been independent. SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.—At the half-yearly meeting on Friday the Earl of Yarborough pre sided. The receipts averaged £7,000 per week. There was an increase in the eight weeks ending 23d August of £9,045 over the same period of last year. A resolution was also unanimously agreed to, declaring a dividend, after the guaranteed rate of 6 per cent. per annum on the £6 preference shares, for the half-year ending the 30th of June, being a further instalment of 2s. 6d. per share on account of the £lO preference shares. THE TROWSE BRANCH.—This connecting link between the Eastern Union and Eastern Counties railways will be opened in a few days. GREAT NORTHERN.—With the view to prevent acci dents in the tunnels on this line, it appears that under ground telegraphs are now being laid through the several tunnels on this railway, so as to enable the man stationed at one end to communicate with the man at the other end, when a train goes in or comes out of the tunnel. GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.—The half yearly meeting was held on Tuesday, E. B. Denison, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The dividend proposed was at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum. An amendment, moved by Mr. Herapath, condemnatory of the agreement with the East Anglican Company, was negatived. NORTH DEVON RAILWAY AND DOCK.—This com pany, heretofore known as the Taw Vale Railway and Dock Company, held its half-yearly meeting on Wed nesday. Mr. J. Sharland, the chairman, stated that £14,000 still remained to be raised before the £50,000, the capital agreed upon, could be made up, and the works proceeded with. A resolution to the effect that, unless the £50,000 could be raised, the works should not proceed, was carried. LEAPING FROM A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Thursday morning, as a Midland excursion train from London to the north was passing Wingfield station, two young men leaped out, notwithstanding the train was then at full speed. One escaped with a few bruises, but the life of the other was the forfeit of his temerity. Falling between the platform and the rails, his body was much crushed 'ay the passing carriages, whilst his head, lying across the rails, was literally smashed to atoms and his brains scat tered in all directions. It appears that the train on its arrival at Derby was somewhat behind its time. In con sequence of this those of the passengers whose destination lay between Derby and Chesterfield were removed, and forwarded by the following train, in order that the excur sion train might not be delayed by again stopping until it arrived at Chesterfield. By some means these young men were not aware of this arrangement, and therefore when they found that the train was passing the point where they wished to get out they madly attempted to leap from the carriage as it was passing the platform. The mutilated remains of the young man were gathered up and removed to a neighbouring inn to await the coro ner's inquiry. tp tt , k;4iittittki, ................—____ it,,lq IP's'l,}m•t!cs"—There are now performing at the iktie:teka:atre, London, twochildren, MissesKateand Nh e i, l Ores, but six and eight years of age, of whom the Ilti• ti ;:t1.1 2, as it were, with one unanimous voice, !let i o e tilti,43st unequivocal terms of approbation.

MORE ROMISH LIBERTY.—At Southwark Police-court on Saturday, an Irish lad was fined for breaking windows in a school-room for the free education of poor children, for creating a disturbance, and for using insulting lan guage towards the female teacher. It was stated that there were Roman Catholic schools opposite, and that they were continually setting their children to annoy the others. The magistrate said it was a scandalous outrage, and must be put a stop to. He adeed that the Roman Catholics were against those ragged schools, which had been of great benefit to the poor children in the neighbourhood. A very disgraceful scene occurred a short time ago in a mews near Cavendish-square, where a ragged school was established by Lord Ashley. There the Roman Catholic priests came in procession with tapers, and demanded the names of all the children that attended the school. He (Mr. Broughton) supposed Mr. Davis did not attempt proselytism in the school. Mr. Davis replied in the negative. They taught them their duty to God and their neighbour, and merely repeated the Lord's Prayer at the commencement and close of the school. Mr. Davis further stated that there were a great many very poor old people residing in the neighbourhood, and on Sundays divine service was per formed in the school-room, but the conduct of the low Irish and their children, by their intimidation and disgust ing language, prevented them from attending. A GENTEEL SWINDLER.—Within the last few weeks, a number of our merchants have been regularly victimised by a genteely-dressed foreigner, who, under an assumed name, has succeeded in fleecing a good deal of soft goods, as well as jewellery, from our usually 'cute citizens. We are credibly informed that one of our most respectable jewellers has been taken in to the tune of £lB9, and others in proportion. The baron, for slut' he pretended to be, possessed a good exterior, spoke English well, and having put up, when he arrived at Glasgow, about a month since, at one of the most fashionable hotels in the city, he was enabled to play his game very successfully. Accompanied by the baroness, who had also a dashing and ladylike ap jearance, he found no difficulty in obtaining not onlywellery, but clothes, books, &c., from those whom he honoured with his patronage. It seems that the fraud was not discovered till the baron left town for Wemyss Bay, where he took fashionable lodgings, and we believe that goods were even sent to him whil e th ere , so that it appears his credit stood very high. About eight or ten days ago the baron, who boasted an acquaintance with the Duke of Montrose, left the hotel at Wemyss Bay, accom panied by the baroness, on a visit to his grace, but it .is needless to say that he never found his way there. His grace, it appears, never had the honour of his acquaint ance ; and as the baron has disappeared, leaving his bill unpaid, no doubt is left that the fellow is an arrant swindler, though an accomplished one.—Glasgow Mail, CALEDONIAN AND DUMBARTONSHIRE JUNCTION.— The half-yearly meeting was held on Tuesday, Mr. J. Band, M.P., in the chair. The sum already expended on capital accounts amounts to £220,756; the liabilities of the company are about £28,095 ; so that the probable total cost will be £248,852. No dividend was declared ; but the sum of £4,472, at the credit of the revenue account, was transferred as a loan to the capital account. The directors were empowered to make a call of £2 10s. per share when necessary. TRAFFIC RETURNS.—The traffic returns for the last week, ending the 24th instant, on the undermentioned English lines of railway are as follows :- 1851. 1850. £61,177 . • £48,925 23,651 .. 24,262 19,128 .. 17,604 18,053 .. 12,977 14,148 .. 12,610 24,052 .. 17,066 20,084 .. 16,890 11,004 .. 10,618 iiZ42 THE LIVERPOOL STANDARA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1851 MORE Porrsu INSOLENCE AND BLASPHEMY.—The Tablet in its last number thus outrages all sense of decency: " It isvery nearlyascertain as that God isin Heaven that Car dinal Wiseman is Arch bishop of Westminster; that Dr. Cul len is Archbishop of Armagh ; that Dr. Murray is Arch— bishop of Dublin ; that Dr. Slattery is Archbishop of Cashel; and that Dr. M`Hale is Archbishop of Tuam. In accordance with the fact, therefore, we propose, as usual, to give to the archbishops and bishops the styles end titles which the Church of God bestows upon them. On the other hand, it is equally certain (has we have elsewhere intimated) that a certain Mr. Sumner is not even a doctor of divinity, much less a priest, a bishop, or an archbishop. It is not true, therefore, to call this man Archbishop of Canterbury. or even Dr. Sumner. It is even doubtful whether he has been made a Christian by baptism ; but, as this is confessedly a doubt, we will give this estimable gentleman the benefit of the doubt, and take h s Chris tianity for granted. What, under that charitab'e assump tion, we may call his Christian names are ' John Bird! As he is a member of the Privy Council, this civil status entitles him to- prefix right honourable ;' and his true name and title, written at length, are 'the Right Hon. JOhn Bird Sumner.' In ordinary parlance such a person would be called `Mr. Sumner ;" and. as accuracy is every thing, now we have a theological parliament, the only de signation by which henceforward that ambiguous Christian. whom the Protestants heretically call Archbishop of Can terbury, will be known in this journal as plain- ' Mr. Sumner.'" HEARTLESS TRICK.—The most heartless trick that we have for a long time heard of was practiced last Saturday, the victim of it being a highly respectable young woman resident near Workington. An unprincipled fellow of the name of Ferguson, a native of Longtown, and a stone mason by trade, having been engaged in enlarging some farm-buildings in the locality referred to, soon managed to win the affections of a farmer's daughter, and after much resistance on the part of the girl's family their con sent was at last obtained, and a day fixed for the marriage. The few days preceding were occupied in the necessary preliminaries for such an event. Dresses were bought, viands laid in, bridemaids and bridegroom's men were appointed. The bridegroom not being overburdened with cash, borrowed from his fair one to array himself with becoming wedding garments. and borrowed' also from others for the like purpose. At length the marriage morn ing came. The wedding guests assembled to breakfast ; the priest was at church awaiting the happy couple, be guiling the interval by registering the marriage. Ten o'clock passed, so did eleven, and at length the canonical hour rang out, yet no couple appeared. The mystery was soon up, At six in the morning, Ferguson, not finding the tailor punctual, set off for Workington. called for and obtained the clothes, put himself into the train just starting, and has not since been heard of. We may leave our readers to imagine the feelings of the wedding party as hour after hour passed away and the swain made not his appearance. Suffice it to say that as the day vote on to that fatal hour when matrimony is a res prohibita, the poor bride awakened to the dreariest suspicions, disrobed her finery, and, Ra chel-like, would not be comforted.— Cumberland Pacquel. :..etaritets, • CATTLE MARKETS SALFORD, AUGUST 27.-Beasts, 1,503 • Sheep, 8,348 ; Calves, 96.

This disposition has continued to show itself in a very marked manner during the week, particularly in the case of orders which can only be accepted for delivery several weeks forward. Buyers do not see any reasonable or well-founded grounds for the recent advance in the price of cotton. The stock in Liver. pool is, to-day, nearly 660,000 bales, being about 100,600 bales above what it was at the same date last year. With this fact before them, and the strong probability of a larger supply of the raw material, during the ensuing season, than has ever yet reached our shores, they hesitate to place orders at the rates now demanded, even where they are not fettered by precise limits. Although spinners are, for the most part, fully under contract at the present moment. and so far in a very indepen dent position, yet the probabilities are strongly in favour of an increase of the feeling we have just alluded to on the part of buyers; and ere long it may be found a more difficult matter than at present to replace expiring engagements. Having recently been pretty free buyers of cotton, a temporary absence from the market, or at least restricted purchases for a time, would have the effect of giving a quieter tone to the raw mate rial, and tend to a restoration of that steady and confident feeling which so recently characterised the operations of our market. It would be well to consider whether, with the pros pects there are of an abundant supply of cotton for next sea son, it is prudent to encourage, by a continuance of purchases beyond actual present needs, the tendency to speculation now so apparent in Liverpool, and which, if continued, will cer tainly cripple the productive powers of this district. In the cloth market there is rather less activity. Prices in general are well supported, but on very few articles is any advance on last week's rates obtainable. RocHDALE.—Little change in the flannel market this week, either in price or demand. On account of the wakes last week, rather fewer pieces have been offered for sale. There is no change in wool ; the manufacturers continue to buy for imme diate use only. LEEDS.—The business done both at the public cloth halls and at the warehouses this week has been to a comparatively small amount ; but though this statement might lead to the inference that tha woollen trade is dull, such is not the fact, for the manufacturers are moderately well employed, and there are no heavy stocks on hand. MACCLESFIELD.—The demand for manufactured goods re mains much the same as reported last week. The production for the autumn season is going on but tardily, still we may assume from general appearances that warps are being given out rather more freely. The thrown silk market remains en tirely without alteration for the better, and the business doing at the present time is absolutely insignificant, notwithstanding which the mills continue their production at an average rate, and are for the most part working full time. NOTTINGHAM.—Lace : Very few buyers have been here since our last week's report, and what orders have been received have been quite of a retail character. There has hitherto been no alteration in the price of yarn, but it is expected to advance speedily.—Hosiery : There is a very limited business doing in our trade, but that is nothing unusual at this period ; the little there is done is generally confined to home purchases. Ame rican orders for the spring trade are expected in about a month, when more employment for workmen may be looked for ; unfortunately many are out of work. or are only partially employed at this time. The glove trade is rather more than commonly depressed at this season. The price of yarn remains nominally the same. LONDON GAZETTE.

P. having been sold, with 7000 bags of Bengal and 300 bags of Mauritius, without change in prices. The demand for Foreign being very limited, only 3001yags low white Pernams have been sold, at 18s. 6d., with a small parcel of P orto R i co at previous rates.-The only sale reported in Molasses is 70 puns., being an indirect parcel of Antigua, of ordinary quality, at 14s. 6d. per cwt. from the quay.-Coffee: The business of the week is not important, being limited to a few tces.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION AIARKET,.AtrousT 29. We cannot quote any increase in the demand for Beef; the lower qualities are anxiously offered without finding buyers, whilst fine brands continue firmly held. A few small parcels of old Pork have been taken for export.; :generally, however, the demand is limited. A large parcel of Bacon, has changed hands, at a small concession on former rates-;- from the country dealers the demand is scarcely so good, but there has been some inquiry for Ireland. Hams and Shoulders continue very dull. At a further advance of Is. to 2s. per cwt.. therehas been an extensive demand for Lard. The sales• reach ❑early 200 tons, and the market is now very dull. Cheese has beerldull this week, the interior character of the late arrivals operating against the sale. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 29 . . From Saturday last up to Wednesday the demand for Ame rican descriptions and Surat was extensive, and a large busi ness was transacted by all classes of buyers, at an advance of 4d. per lb. on the Current qualities, and id. on the better sorts of the former, and id. also on the latter; yesterday, however, and to-day there has been less activity. but quotations remain steady at the improvement noticed. Sea Islands have further advanced about id. per lb. Brazil commands rather higher rates; and a good business has been done in Egyptian, at prices in some instances the turn in the seller's favour, but they continue to be freely offered. Speculators have taken 11,580 American, 30 Egyptian, 360 Bahia. 90 Maranham, 20 Bengal, and 2210 Surat; and exporters 5040 American, 320 Pernam, 30 Smyrna, 2500 Surat, 120 Madras, and 120 Bengal.

In the northern districts of this coun try and Ireland, much rain is also stated to have fallen recently, and a favourable change is now anxiously desired : meanwhile, even adverse weather, and at so critical a period too, seems to produce no improvement in the trade, prices in most of the English and Irish markets being still reported to incline rather downwards, millers and other consumers appearing to regulate their proceedings more by the anticipation of Foreign impor tations than by the fate of our own harvest. Our supplies coastwise and from Ireland since Monday last are quite insig nificant, and the arrivals from abroad very moderate, except States and Canadian Flour, of which we have to note a further liberal accession, amounting, with the import specified en Tuesday, to upwards of 100,600 barrels in the last ten days. From the close of Tuesday's market to this date, a little better feeling was evinced here to Wheat, Fl our , an d I n di an Corn, of which occasional sales took place, but no change in prices nor extensive operations in any branch of the trade. Notwith standing the weather still bears an unsettled aspect, no excite ment was apparent in any department of trade at our market to-day. Having no supplies of new Wheat at hand, the sales of that grain this morning were restricted chiefly to limited parcels of good Foreign, which barely sustained our previous quotations. Choice brands of American Flour, meeting some inquiry, and being offered less freely by importers, such fully supported the current rates of Tuesday, whilst the large variety of stale and inferior grades moved slowly at irregular prices; and French upon a n.oderate scale on the terms last noted. Barley, Malt, and Pease, continuing to attract very little atten tion, were severally rather depressed in value. Beans, in cluding Egyptians, were offered with little effect at a decline of 6d. per qr. Oats, being extremely scarce, were the turn dearer, and Oatmeal fully as high as before, the stock of old being nearly if not wholly exhausted. Indian Corn on the spot wa • ' " ' 'ugly to-day, but maintained late prices. Several floating cargoes have been sold in the course of the week.—The following is Tuesday's currency : BRITISH.

The few samples of new and fresh old Wheats offering meet moderate sale at last week's rates. Fresh Flour is by no means plentiful, and brings full prices : for old qualities there is scarcely any sale, and no accurate estimate of their value can be given. Oats and Oatmeal steady at former rates. Beans Is. per qr. cheaper. PRESTON, AUGUST 30.—The unsettled state of the weather has interrupted harvest operations this week, but no serious damage is yet reported as done to the crops in this district. Although the trade is not so sensitive under free importation as under protective duties, still, from the apprehension that the harvest may be a protracted one, the merchants generally have held for a slight improvement in prices, which, however, has in most instances been effectually resisted by the dealers, but a fair business has resulted from day to day at the extreme rates of this day se'nnight. The stock of old grain, as well as of oat meal, is so very insignificant, that last Saturday's quotations for each remain unaltered. Flour, too, is stationary. In another week foreign wheat will be the only article we shall have to notice in our quotations of old produce. We had a good supply of new Wheat from our neighbouring growers at this day's market, the bulk of which was in fine ennditin. ...., •. 4 sum, 5.A.F1.U11.11/Il a prime quality. White was cleared at 18s. 6d. to 205., and red at 17s. 6d. to 19s. per 2201135. No new Oats offering. New Oat meal met a tolerably free sale, and in the absence of a general supply noth English and Irish manufacture commanded 275. 6d. to 28s. 6d. per 2401b5. WAKEFIELD, AUOUST 29.—This week the arrivals are much smaller than for some weeks past. There is less Wheat pressing on the market to-day, and a steady demand for good fresh qualities of old at last week's prices, while ordinary sam ples are still neglected; new does not yet come freely, and bears a high relative value. Oats and Shelling are in retail de mand at the prices of last Friday. Beans fully as dear. In other arricles no change. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, AUGUST 30.—The weather this week has turned cold and very ungenial, with a very limtpttiad . 7 • ..• • u.IoCI.LICII appearance, although no great quantity of rain has fallen, still harvest operationsitave consequently been retarded later than was at one time calculated upon; and not a single sample of the new crop was at market today; the supply of old was also limited. The demand ruled good, and all was cleared off at last Saturday's rates. Coastwise the arrivals are pretty good, but small from abroad. Owing to the state of the weather, there was rather more inclination to purchase, and the currency of this day se'nnight was fully maintained for both English and Foreign qualities; but the business transacted was not to a large extent. Grinding Barley in good demand at fully late rates. English and Scotch Oats, being now comparatively scarce, cold quite as well as on this day week; but Foreign continue difficult to quit. Flour sells slowly, but prices remain the same. In other grain no alteration in value can be noted. WISBECH, AUGUST 30.—There are so few samples of either new or old Wheat at our market to-day, that we call the trade steady for all kinds of Grain. DUBLIN, AUGUST 29.—We new grain at this day's market at 9s. to 9s. 6d., and new Oats of new Wheat appeared, and brought from 19s. to 215., and continued in demand for feedi was scarcely an inquiry for old quotations are in a great meast White Wheat 21s Od to 23s Od Red do 20s Od to 22s Od Bere . 9s 61:1 to 9s 6d Oats 14s Od to 15s Od New Oats Bs Od to Its 6d e had a considerable quantity of ;, and a fair demand for new bere s Bs. to 11s. 6d. ; liberal samples I in tolerable condition ; White Red from 18s. to 20s.

BELFAST, AU UST 29.—The grain trade has been quite languid since our last, and although the reports of the potato disease are very serious from some districts, there is less spe culative feeling this week than last, and sales have been to a very moderate extent. A few buyers of Indian corn at a dis tance have appeared; but for Corn or Wheat on the spot, these was no demand except at very low rates.
