ALLEGED AUSTRALIAN GOLD.-0a Thursday, we had the opportunity of seeing no less than six samples of what had been brought over from the locality of the Goulbourn Plains as veritable gold siftings, intermixed with silver, and which had been submitted to a celebrated essayist at Bristol (Mr. Sutton), who certified that there was not a particle of either of those precious metals in the packets sent to him to be assayed.—Cambrian. EXTENSIVE RECLAMATION OF LAND. Extensive works for the improvement of navigation and the recla mation of land are in progress at King's Lynn. Messrs. Peto and Betts are executing a contract by which a new channel, four miles long, 30 feet deep, 265 feet in width at bottom, and M 8 at the surface, will extend from the town into the Wash, while3o,ooo acres of land will be reclaimed. Since December last, 1,200 men have been employed, and the work goes on well. AN AGED LADY.—There is a female now residing in Clarke County, Georgia, who is 133 years of age. She is quite active, lively and cheerful, converses fluently, reads well without the use of glasses. She says she does not feel the effect of her age, except as regards her hearing— she is slightly deaf. This, too, is partly the result of accident. She has now living, within one mile of her residence, grand-children to the sixth generation. So says the Augusta Constitutionalist. ANCIENT KEY.—Among other objects of curiosity which have been discovered during the demolition of the old bridge of Glasgow, not the least interesting is a key, found in the foundation of one of the centre buttresses. It is about a foot long ; the wards are nine in number, and remarkably well cut ; the ring at the opposite end is per fect, and the whole specimen is in excellent preservation and very little corroded. The section of the bridge under which this key lay was the most ancient portion of the structure, so that this venerable memorial of the builders of Glasgow's first bridge cannot be less than 500 years old. —Glasgow Constitutional. A STOMACH LIKE A 110G,—A few days since some men engaged in outside painting on the premises of a Mr. Bennett, near Lechlade, Gloucestershire, having left work for a short time, on their return found that, taking advan tage of the coast being clear, some pigs running loose had invaded the barn in which they had occupied, and had devoured a can-full of lead colour (a compound of white lead, lamp black, and oil), with so apparent a relish that, like Jack Spratt and his wife, they had made clean work by licking the dish. Much fear was entertained that the deleterious mixture would prove a fatal inside coating, but, strange to say, no ill effects were apparent, except to one of the swinish epicures, who suffered from an attack of painter's cholic, which a drastic drench quickly removed. DISTRESSING SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—A glom has been cast over the neighbourhood of Louth, Lincoln shire, by the suicide of the Rev. J. C. Umpleby, rector of Yarborough, near that town. The deceased left his honse about 10 o'clock on the forenoon of the 11th inst., taking with him a double-barrelled gun. Not returning for some time, and the gun being missed from the closet in which it was usually kept, a search was instituted by his relatives and domestics, and the rev. gentleman was found by his groom in a shrubbery adjoining the garden, lying quite dead, having shot himself through the head. Deceased had been in a desponding state of mind for some time past, but it had not been considered necessary to watch his movements. An inquest was held on the body, and a verdict of "Temporary Insanity" returned. FATAL RESULT OF OMNIBUS RACING.—On Monday afternoon, about four o'clock, two omnibuses, nearly full, and proceeding to the west end of London, having passed through Temple-bar, commenced racing. One of them, a Chelsea omnibus, No. 6836, in order to get before the other, drove at a furious rate on its wrong side to round the cab stand. In its progress, when opposite Little's cheesemongery warehouse, at the corner of Picket-place, it came in contact with a poor man, a vender of lead pen cils, and knocked him down, both wheels passing obli que ly over his head and neck. The unfortunate man was quickly placed in a cab and removed to King's College Hospital, where it was ascertained that death must have been instan taneous, the skull being dreadfully fractured on the right side and the vertebrae of the neck broken. The jugular vein was also burst. The driver of the omnibus was at once taken into custody and removed to Bow-street. SCENE IN A CHURCH.—On Sunday evening last, at St. Mary's Church, Chatham, just at the commencement of the sermon, the congregation were greatly alarmed by the flickering of the gaslights, which gradually became lower, until the church was left in nearly perfect darkness. The persons present being considerably alarmed, commenced leaving the church, in the midst of which some malicious individual raised the cry of " Fire !" The scene then be came one of indescribable confusion, a rush being at once made for the doors, although the preacher, the Rev. Mr. Dewe, and other individuals, assured those present there was no occasion for alarm. Several ladies fainted, and one lady in her anxiety to reach the door had her leg nearly broken by the pressure, but was rescued by a by stander. After some time the gas was again lighted, and order being restored, the service continued. Steps are being taken which will lead to the discovery of the mis creant who raised the alarm of fire, and we hope condign punishment will overtake the perpetrator of this wanton and malicious act.—Maidstone Journal. DISTRESSING CASE.—At the Clerkenwell Police-office, London, on Wednesday, two young women, sisters, named Sarah and Rebecca Sharp, applied to the presiding magis trate under the following circumstances :—They were ser vants at Thrapston, in Northamptonshire, and had come to London, with a married sister, named Ann Smith, and her infant, to see the Exhibition. They took lodgings at a house in Bidborough-street, St. Pancras. In the course of the night there was raised an alarm that the house was on fire, and, in their anxiety to save their lives, they made their escape, leaving behind them their money and every thing belonging to them. Ann Smith, who slept in a top room, finding it impossible to make her way through the flames, was induced by the people in the street to throw her child from the window, and it was cau g ht b e l ow b y the by-standers, with but little injury being done to it. The unfortunate mother then precipitated herself through the window, and was so severely injured that she was instantly conveyed to an hospital, where she now lies in a doubtful state of recovery. The poor women were left completely destitute, and the object of their application was to solicit some aid to enable them to return home. An officer was sent to make inquiry into the statement, and on his return he said it was true in every respect. The magistrate said everything possible shonld be done to relieve the unfortunate applicants. POPULAR ELECTIONS.—The show of hands at an elec tion, made generally by people who do not enjoy the franchise, has often been denounced as an absurd proceed ing. We observe that one or two provincial papers which have lately fallen in our way recommend the abolition of this apparently useless proceeding. Our contemporaries are, possibly, not aware that the show of hands is a l a st relic of a sort of universal suffrage, which—(probably also unknown to our rural brethren of the press) —was once the principle of election—that is, of county elections—in England. In old times all who happened to be at the county court when a knight of the shire was elected, had a right to vote, whether they were summoned as tenants in capite or not at all. The right became so abused, the law so violated, and the peace broken, that restrictions followed; and the claim to vote was only admitted upon proof of proper qualification. The appeal to the commons at large was, however, still maintained, and continues to be observed. We do not desire to see it abolished—not out of respect to the suicidal principle of universal suf frage—but from regard to the antiquity of its observation. Besides, under it, every man is for the moment an elector. All present, at borough as at county elections, are called upon to declare the candidate of their choice ; and, this being done, appeal is made to the qualified electors to confirm or annul the selection adopted by those whom we may call the " Universalists;" or, in other words, the common people at large. We queslon whether these, empty as the honour is, would willingly consent to be deprived of it.—Church and Slate Gazette. SIR WALTER SCOTT UPON POPERY.—" It iS, after all," says Sir Walter, when he had seen the working of the Romish system in Ireland, " a helpless sort of supersti tion, which with its saints' days, and the influence of its ignorant bigoted priesthood, destroys ambition and indus trious exertion." Again, in the unreserve of his journal, speculating on the results of the Relief Bill, then pending, he says, " I hold popery to be such a mean, depraving superstition, that I am not sure T could have found myself liberal enough for voting for the repeal of the penal laws as they existed before 1780: they must, and would, in course of time, have smothered popery ; and I confess I should have seen the Old Lady of Babylon's mouth stop ped with pleasure." He then (though he had fallen in with the Duke of Wellington's policy)adds these homely, but sagacious, and as they now prove prophetic words— "lt (Emancipation) is an awful risk. The world is in fact as silly as ever, and a good competence of nonsense will always find believers ; and why not popery ? So hope the Duke of Wellington will keep the horned beast well in hand, and not let her get her leg over the harrows." Might not one well imagine that Scott's keen el e, looking adown the stream of time, saw as by second sight those " preparatory schools" which Puseyism has since opened through the land for teaching a sufficient " competence of nonsense" to qualify the students for the upper classes of Romish theology ? and who will not rea d i n th e de- velopment of Roinish policy, within the last nine months in England, the fulfilment even to the letter of his homely simile of " the horned beast getting her leg over the har row ?”—Correspondent of the Spectator. A CURIOUS DISCOVERY.-It will be recollected, says a correspondent of the Morning Herald, that in the accounts given of the means of livelihood of the notorious Cautv, who a few weeks ag9 was so cleverly captured while robbing the Westminster Bank. and who was transported after wards for the robbery, it was stated that for a great number of years he had lived in the most luxurious style, and must have had a splendid income, and that be obtained his in come by being concerned in some way or other with all the great robberies in the kingdom. This appears to have been to some degree an error, and the police were evidently at fault as to one source of Cauty's revenue. This man used to travel often in the West India Company's steamers to the Gulf of Mexico and the Spanish Main, and gamble, and fleece the rich Mexican and Spanish and American passengers on board the West India packets, who are always found to be passionately fond of gambling, and who are eager to indulge in it to relieve the monotony and tedium of long voyages. Cauty's apprehension was heard of abroad with some surprise, as although he was considered a sharper and a scamp, it was hardly expected that he would be caught in bare-faced, downright robbery. Cauty be longed to a gang of four, who used to travel in the mail packets on a fleecing expedition. Of course they travelled as first-class passengers, and some idea may be formed of their gains, when it is considered that the passage money of each out and home must have cost oftentimes above £lOO. These worthies did not limit their operations to the West India packets. The pigeons, however, that they used to delight in plucking best are to be found between Southampton and the Spanish Main, the West Indian Islands, and the Gulf of Mexico. THE QtricH,Esr MAIL TRANSIT EVER KNOWN TO CHINA.—The mail of the 24th of May from London reached Hong-Kong on the Bth of July, being only 44 days in its transit. It was conveyed from Suez to Ceylon by ,the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Hindostan, and from Ceylon to Hong-Kong in their new steamer Singapore. The mail of the 24th of June, which would be conveyed by the Oriental and Malta steamers, was expected to reach China in about the same time. The time allowed in the contract with the company is 56 days. THE " BLOOMERS" IN LONDON.—On Friday forenoon a further attempt was made in Piccadilly to familiarise the inhabitants of London with the appearance of the new female costume lately introduced in America. Two young ladies, with two companions who might have been their mothers, alighted from a cab, in the peculiar dress so often described of late, and proceeded towards the entrance to Green Park. distributing in their way handbills, contain ing a spirited appeal to the women of England to throw off the yoke of their unfeeling and brutal oppressors, and adopt an attire better suited to the dignity of the equal of man. In a short time the pressure of the crowd became so great that the missionaries found it convenient to call a cab, which they entered amid much laughter, mingled with cheering. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.-041 Friday morning, shortly before o'clock, a melancholy accident occurred in the city to Mr. Francis Field, a cashier in the Bank of Eng land. The unfortunate g entleman was on his way to the Bank, and while crossi ng Prince's street, towards Thread needle-street, he was knocked down by the horses attached to a heavily-laden waggon, and before the driver could stop the vehicle the near wheels passed over his right leg, and afterwards across his loins. Several of the foot pas sengers who witnessed the accident ran to him and raised him up, but he was found to be quite insensible, and most fearfully injured. The unfortudate sufferer had sustained a compound fracture of the right leg, and severe external contusions. Two ribs were fractured, and there was no doubt from the symptoms that he had received extensive, and it is presumed, fatal injury. He was quite insensible, and no hopes were given of his recovery. NARROW ESCAPES.—Last week, as a person was hur riedly running beneath one of the arches of the Dundee Railway viaduct, behind Marshal-place, a part of a very heavy block of stone fell, just missing the person's head by a few inches. Another part of the block fell the sub sequent day, but fortunately when no person was passing. In the Skinnergate, part of an old house dropped from its equilibrium on Saturday, and immediately above one of the public walls, at which, fortunately, there happened to be no person present at the time. Generally, throughout the day, many are congregated about these walls, and had the descent of the part of the building taken place at such a juncture, the consequences might have been serious. We think the Guildry Committee should be looking after such dilapidated and dangerous buildings, and they will find not a few that the public have long looked upon as insecure. —Perthshire Courier. THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT BIOESTER.—VER DICT OF THE JURY.—The jury, after deliberating an hour and a half, gave the following verdict—" That the deceased died from accidental causes ;" but appended special obser vations to the verdict, to the effect that, while they found there was not that measure of culpability in the servants as to warrant the finding of an adverse verdict against them, yet they felt it due to the public safety that some greater means of protection to life and property, that exists, should be resorted to by the company ; and that, in the monopoly which they have achieved, the lives of passengers travelling in the night should not be jeopar dised at the shrine of interest and dividend. The jury urged that a second line of rails be laid down, in order to prevent the recurrence of such a dire calamity. The coroner thought the country at large would be grateful to the jury ; and at his recommendation they added a suggestion, that until the line of railway be made double, every train should stop at Bicester station. AFFRAY BETWEEN GREEK AND AMERICAN SAILORS. —An affray of a somewhat serious character occurred be tween several Greek and American sailors on Thursday night. It appears that on Wednesday evening a fight took place between a Greek and an American, when Master Yankee got the worst of it. This result brought about threats of revenge from the Yankees, who, on Thursday night, hearing there were some Greeks in the Steam Packet, beer house, on the Quay, proceeded thither armed with sticks. The Yankees were fifteen or sixteen strong, while there were only four or five Greeks. A tremendous battle ensued, every portable article made use of being broken over each other's heads. At length the Greeks managed to escape with black eyes and broken heads, not, however, without having served some of their enemies in a similar manner. Two Americans brought three Greeks before the magistr tes on the charge of having assaulted them. Evidence was gone into at great length, and it ultimately appearing that the Yankees were the aggressors, the case was dismissed.—Bristol Journal. TO GET RID OF COCKROACHES.—A few years ago my house was infested with cockroaches, and I was recom mended to try cucumber peelings as a rem ed y. I accordingly, immediately before bed time, strewed the floor of those parts of the house most infested with the vermin, with the green peel, cut not very thin from the cucumber, and sat up half an hour later than usual to watch the effect. Before the expiration of that time, the floor where the peel lay was completely covered with cockroaches, so much so that the vegetable could not be seen, so voraci ously were they engaged in sucking the poisonous mois ture from it. I adopted the same plan the following night, but my visitors were not nearly so numerous—l should think not more than a fourth of the previous night. On the third night I did not discover one ; but anxious to ascertain whether the house was quite clear of them, I examined the peel after I had laid it down about half an hour, and perceived that it was covered with myriads of minute cockroaches, about the size of fleas. I therefore allowed the peel to lie till morning, and from that moment I have not seen a cockroach in the house. Of course it should be fresh cucumber peel every night.—Correspon dent of Manx Sun. FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR IPSWICH.—On Saturday last, the families of Sir Philip and Colonel Broke, of Nacton, were thrown into a painful state of excitement by the re port that two of their servants had been drowned in the river Orwell. The following detail will supply the melan choly facts of the case :—Joseph Hartley, a footman in the service of Sir Philip Broke, was the owner of a stone boat, the captain of which had finished his week's work by mooring her off Pin Mill. Hartley made up his mind to go off to her, and invited the footman of Colonel Broke to accompany him. At a little before four o'clock in the afternoon, the two stepped into an unusually frail punt, and pulled off towards the vessel. The tide was running very strong and drifted them down a little, when they turned the punt's head, and struck the smack stem on. The main sheets were hanging down, and Hartley hastily rose from his seat and grasped an end. The sudden motion, however, shot the punt astern, when his com panion leaped from his place and hurriedly stepped for ward, occasioning the boat to slip from both of them, plunging them head foremost into the water.

Acts of Parliament have been always dangerous to the Church : from Henry ITI. to Elizabeth they have had great and abiding influences, and we must not shut our eyes to the danger lurking in them. The first persons to suffer from them have been courtiers and those in high station, from whom the poison spreads through every vein of the body politic. Half-a-dozen peers turned the scale against the Church under Elizabeth, and again under Charles 11., when the Catholic peers and commons were shut out from Parliament. The bad legislation of those days was submitted to and daily apostacies were the result. It may be so again : if we are now faithless in the hour of our trial it may be that we shall be beaten, and that the long-desired conversion of England may be put off, perhaps, for ever. The laws of Elizabeth were not so dangerous in themselves as the frequent apostacies; and James I. found the most eloquent preachers in renegade priests and cowardly Catholics." DREADFUL SHIPWRECK.—LOSS OF THE " PASHA" STEAM-SIIIP.—A serious calamity has befallen the Pasha steam-ship, one of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's fleet, by coming in collision with another of the company's vessels, the Erin. They were built in this country, and hai not been long out in India engaged in carrying the mails and passengers from Cal cutta up to China. The Pasha left Hong-kong on the 10th of July for Calcutta. touched at Singapore, and pro ceeded up the S , raits of Malacca. About half-past eleven o'clock, the officer reported to Captain Miller that a light was observed on the starboard bow, considered to be a ship's light. He directed the helm to be put a-starboard. The vessel seen bearing the light was the Erin steamer, on her voyage from Calcutta to Singapore and Hong-;tong, and last from Penang ; and it would seem that, on her watch perceiving the lights of the Pasha, which was about the same time as theirs were first noticed, Captain Trouson, her commander, on learning the cir cumstance, ordered her helm to be put a-port—a regula tion as laid down by the Trinity authorities when two steamers are approaching in a contrary direction and such is practicable. At this period the vessels were eight or nine miles distant from each other. It is represented that Mr. Miller, in steering the Pasha, thought he would run clear out of the way of the Erin. The Erin's light for some short period wo k s lost sight of : it is said that it was being trimmed, and it would seem that it was un known on board either vessel that the other was a steamer until a blue light was burnt on board the Pasha. This was answered by the Erin, and then the fact was ascertained that they were both steamers. Both vessels steamed off, and shortly after midnight they came to a collision with such force that the Pasha went down within seven or eight minutes after she was struck. The ill-fated vessel received the shock just before the starboard paddle-box, the stem of the Erin going almost over her. With the exception of the watch on deck, most of those on board were asleep beloiv. The rush on deck is described to have been of the most frightful description : some climbed up the Erin's bow—others threw themselves into the sea, and were picked up by boats from the Erin—while several .got into the quarter-boats of the Pasha. Unfortunately, however, these could not be got clear of the davits, and, before the unhappy creatures who had taken to them as a means of rescue could get away from them, the Pasha went down in twenty-five fathoms, dragging the boats with her. Some of the poor creatures were seen strug gling on the surface of the water, but before aid could reach them they disappeared. The number who perished amounts to sixteen. The third officer of the Pasha, one of the missing, was married only three days before the vessel departed from Southampton ; and the feelings of his wife, a remarkably handsome woman, on the receipt of this intelligence, can he better imagi ned than described, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.3 1 , 1851. PRINCE ALBERT' S•BIGHTS. GOTH 3, SEPT. 10.—We have already stated that in the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies a very important ques tion was brought to a close. The question and details are as follows :—The late Duke had bequeathed to his sons, the present reigning Duke and Prince Albert, of Eng land, the sum of 50,000 florins annually, as revenues arising from Royal domains. This bequest was made in 1836, and was carried out till 1849 , , when the Chambers protested against continuing the annuity. Prince Albert accordingly instituted pro ceedings against the Diet, which had refused the grant on the ground that the Crown do►nains, being the property of the reigning Prince as such, and not as an individual, he had no legal right to assign or bequeath any revenues arising from them to his successors, heirs, or any other person. The Court, however, after a minute investiga tion of the fundamental law as then existing, empowered the Duke to bequeath part of the revenue to his own sons, and accordingly gave judgment that the ccuntry must pay Prince Albert 50,000 flOrins per annum as his legal right. The Minister of State proposed as a compromise that Prince Albert should abate 10;000 florins per annum of his claim, and that the Chamber should vote his Royal Highness 40,000 florins. The debate upon the question came on yesterday. Several members insisted that the Regent had in no case the power of the Crown lands in his own hands, and the present case being unprecedented the acceptance thereof would be a virtual acknowledg ment of its validity. The majority, however, decided that, although it was an unprecedented case, and the judgment passed by the Co-art might therefore be con sidered dubious, it was nevertheless desirable that this tedious point should at length be settled, and accordingly voted his Royal Highness Prince Albert 40,000 florins per annum. _ By this decision of the Chambers the revenue of the state, which has to pay all arrears, is lessened by a million: of fiorins.—Hamßurgh Correspondent. SHAKSPEARE'S PRESENCE OF MlND.—This eminent man was performing the part of a king in one of his own tragedies before Queen Elizabeth, who, wishing to ascer tain whether he would depart from the dignity of the so vereign, dropped her handkerchief on the stage, as if by accident, on which the mimic monarch exclaimed— • " But, ere this be done, Take up our sister's handkerchief." This ready remark is said to have highly amused the Queen ets. CORN MARKETS LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 19.—Advices from all the counties northward continue to represent harvest to be proceeding most favourably, with fine settled weather; and the markets generally in the United Kingdom being more liberally supplied this week with new Wheat from the farmers, prices, with very few exceptions, continue to recede, and the aspect of the trad.r appears lowering and uncertain. Prevented by adverse winds at sea, we have had scarcely any arrivals worth naming coast wise, from Ireland or abroad, since Monday last ; but several vessels being reported near at hand, supplies are expected to increase to a fair extent, on the first change, from the west. With these anticipations and an ample show of samples offering from granary, the trade during the brief interval since Tuesday has been extremely quiet here, exclusive of occasional sales of Flour and Indian Corn, the demand for the latter, prompted by the reports of potato blight, having con tinued at full prices both on the spot ar.d floating. Having a tolerable number of home and country millers at our market to-day, good descriptions of Foreign Wheat were held rather firmly by importers, and a fair amount of business was trans acted, chiefly for the interior and on Irish account ; but our local buyers being inactive, no advance was obtainable, and our last quotations therefore remain unyaried ; new Wheats, of both home and Irish growth, being in fair request and steady in value. With rather fewer operations in States and Canadian Flour this morning, but a regular large consumption weekly, and an extensive demand prospectively, prime brands were the turn dearer to-day, and other kinds, including French, maintained late prices. Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease were difficult of sale, and each slightly dep-essed in value. Oats receded id. per 451b5., and Oatmeal 6d. per load, with a very limited demand severally. Having very little Indian Corn here and no fresh arrivals, good samples on the spot were 6d. per quarter dearer to-day, and several more floating cargoes changed hands.—Tuesday's currency : BRITISH.

At our market to-day, the business done in each article is limited to the absolute wants of buyers. Wheat is rather lower. Flour 'unaltered. Hardly any old, and but few new Oats are offered. The same may be said of Oatmeal. Old English Beans very scarce, and fully Is. per qr. dearer. Barley and grinding stuff maintain late value. PRESTON, SEPT. 20.—Our supplies fresh up are very trifling. The weather throughout the week has continued exceedingly favourable for completing harvest operations. Upon a limited enquiry for each article in the trade, scarcely any change in prices has occurred. There was a large supply of English Wheat at our Corn-Exchange to-day, but neither the condition nor the quality was equal to last Saturday, and the sale was slow, at a reduction of 6d. per windle. White, 16s. 6d. to 19s. 9d.; Red, 15s. 6d. to 17s. 6d. per 2201b5. Scarcely any Irish Grain offering. Farmers' new Oatmeal supported our last quotations. Irish manufacture declined Is. per load. Fair to prime qualities 265. 6d. to 275. 6d. per 2401b5. Tne reports in regard to the spread of the Potato disease con tinue unfavourable. WAKEFIELD, SEPT. 19.—There is a good supply of Wheat to-day, and, our millers still continuing cautious buyers, a de cline of Is. per qr. is submitted to on new and old, anti the common descriptions of the latter are very unsaleable. Oats are id. per st., and Shelling Is. per load lower. New Barley is more plentiful, and makes from 275. to 30s. Good English Beans fully as dear. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, SEPT. 20.—There has been no rain during the week, but the nights have been foggy and clamp. Harvest, throughout the northern district, has been consider ably advanced; and, with very few exceptions, the whole of the Wheat crop has fallen under the sickle. The supply of Wheat this morning from the farmers was not large, and con sisted chiefly of the new crop : the condition and quality was not near so good as last week ; still it met a good demand, and was all cleared off at a reduction of Is. on the best, and Is. to 2s. per quarter on the secondary and damp descriptions. Coastwise, only a few small lots of new were shown to-d a y, which sold at Is. per quarter decline. For Old Wheat, foreign or English, the demand is merely in retail, and where sales are forced, to clear vessels, a decline of fully Is. per quarter had to be submitted to. Grinding Barley, Pease, anti Beans supported late rates, with an improved demand. English and Scotch Old Oats with difficulty maintained their value, notwithstanding the supplies are small : New are Is. per quarter cheaper, and Foreign are neglected. Flour a dull sale. The potatoe di s e ase continues to get daily worse in this neighbourhood. WISBECH, SEPT. 20.—We have a smaller show of Wheat here to-day, and prices are about Is. per qr. lower. Of Oats there is a fair supply, which make from 9d. to 91(1. per stone No alteration in the value of Beans. 26 0.. 26 6 27 O. .28 0 25 6.. 26 6 26 0.. 26 6 23 O. .27 0 DUBLIN, SEPT. 19.—We have a continuation of fine wea ther, and the Grain harvest progresses under favourable circumstances. The demand for new Grain was scarcely so good as on Tuesday, but every description brought nearly the same price as on that day, and Rapeseed was advanced at 6d. per barrel. Old Grain of every description, feeding Oats ex cepted, still extremely difficult of sale; and when sales could be effected, they have been at reduced rates. There have been a few sales of Indian Corn, and some holders require an ad vance of Gd. per cwt.

There has, consequently, been nothing to create uneasiness as to our future prospects of supply, except the continued, and apparentls , increased reports, as to the spread of the potato disease. In this neighbourhood it is now certain that the amount of injury done has been sufficient to entirely . prevent the possibility of there being food for the poor during the coming season. A better demand for Indian corn has been felt this week, and prices are ss. per ton higher than last Friday. For wheat and flour the demand has been very languid; and late rates are barely supported. At this day's market home-Frown wheat was in small supply, and brought last week's prices ; foreign dull of sale. Old oats scarce, and wanted at £8 to £8 lOs. per ton; new, in fair supply, and worth Cs. to Gs. 3d. Oatmeal in fair demand at last week's prices. More inquiry for Indian corn. CORK, SEPT. 20.—The weather continues most favourable for the country and the harvest is gathering in line condition, our very important crop (the potato) is again disappointing the hopes of farmers, and has greatly deteriorated in quality the last ten days. Flour is dull and prices droop. In foreign Wheats little doing. At our Corn market the deliveries are moderate, and prices of grain well supported during the week. Indian Corn meets more alteration. - CATTLE MARKETS LIVERPOOL, SE PT. 22.—We have again had a heavy supply of both Beasts and Sheep at market this day.

DUBLIN, SEPT. 18.—From the full state of the English markets in the beginning . of the week, as well as the dull accounts from the cattle fair of Banagher yesterday, there was but little disposition to purchase, and the demand for prime quality only, which barely brought last week's rates.

Spinners with contracts coming to an end are, of course, desirous to renew them ; but, in order to effect this, they do nut show any disposition to make concessions, and there is, therefore, scarcely any pressure on the market, except in certain numbers of mule yarns for India, which are flat and drooping. Watertwist in bundle a n d COp is still in steady demand, and where early delivery can be bargained for, very full prices are still obtainable. Manufac turers are cautious in their operations, as are also the shipping houses, from an impression that the chances are perhaps more in favour of a slight decline than an advance during the next few weeks; they are, therefore, extremely chary in giving out orders for instant delivery, and confine themselves to transac tions of a somewhat limited character. Notwithstanding this caution on the part of buyers, the producers of yarns generally are well engaged, and stocks ore light, where they exist at all. In cloth there is more quietness than in yarns, and in some instances better terms have been made by buyers. As a gene ral rule, however, prices are well maintained. LEEDS.—We have to notice slack markets, with a small amount of business at the Warehouses, this week, in the woollen trade. The demand is chiefly for winter goods, at low prices. Notwithstanding the slackness in the demand, there have yet been but very few signs of curtailment by the manu facturers, who have not for some time overstocked the market, and the amount of goods on hand is in a moderate compass. ROCHDALE.— There is no amendment in the flannel market this week, and goods continue heavy of sale. Last September it was difficult to obtain goods to meet the demand. There is no change in the wool market, and the manufacturers continue to buy for immediate use only. _ . NOTTINGIIASI.—Lace : There are again complaints this week of the want of business, both in the warehouses generally and by the vendors of brown goods; but this state of things is not expected to continue long, as shopkeepers must shortly replenish their stocks for the autumn trade, and the American buyers must speedily begin giving out their orders. Hosiery: Our business is still fiat, but orders must shortly be coming in for the home and foreign trades, to meet which some houses are already giving out a little more yarn to be wrought than they did a few weeks back, for hose, drawers, and shirts.— Nottingham .Tournal.
