BY SIGNOR ZANDOTTI, A.M le n'hai ragi, 'e ti curar s'altri malign° dice he a sesso femminil regnar non lic Di manto in vece, avvolto in ulna gonna Regna. chc n lntenta a f: Pictosa ma L'oppresso Non trono, non allor, non ) o pom Dar ti potrl THE RENOVATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE PROM VEGETABLE SOURCES I have previously shewn the composition of several of the proximate principles of vegetables, and also pointed out the large quantity of carbon which becomes fixed among trees, is the oak, the beech, &c. I have also endeavoured to point out that the composition of these substances is principally carbon and water, and that if the carbon was previously united with oxygen, that oxygen or the greater portion of it must be placed to the credit of the renovating process which is continually going on in our atmosphere ; and when we consider the composition of carbonic acid, the amount of oxygen thus eliminated amounts to a great sum total. 1 have also advised all who undertake the task of comput ing the advantages derived from vegetable life, to do so, not from minute and partial experiments, but to calculate the re sults obtainable from mature vegetation, as giving much more correct data than these minute investigations can point out. We have obtained from these investigations the interesting knowledge that vegetables during sunshine give out oxyge❑ in its pure form, and carbonic acid during the night, but fur ther than this, the experiments are not available, and the cause of a great discrepancy between the accounts of different experimenters has arisen from the difficulty of placing vege tables to be operated upon under equally favourable circum stances, and often from the necessary confinement requisite in performing the experiments, the health of the plant has been injured, thereby causing the difference in the results. I consider therefore that we are more likely to obtain correct data, as I have observed before, from the analysis of those which are of mature growth. If we take the composition of carbonic acid, we shall find that in 100 parts it only contains about 28.277 of carbon, the remainder being oxygen. It may perhaps be interesting to inquire what quantity of carbon be comes annually fixed during twelve months from the various crops of grain, not calculating the straw. The quantity that is annually grown in Great Britain may be computed in round numbers at fifty millions of quarters, it is not necessary to be quite exact in this point, but to quote from the best authorities, as the point I wish to establish does not rest upon minute statistical detail, but upon the broad principle that the quantity of carbon thus taken from our atmosphere is much more than is generally computed. I have made this observation so as to prevent any misunder standing, all I wish is to draw the chemist from his own la boratory and compare his results with those which the more extended laboratory of nature presents. 'Barley, on account of its extensive use in malt, has been analysed with more attention than some of the others, and I shall give the results of two of them— Stirch. Gluten Sugar Husk 80 pints Starch.. 88 Gluten 7 do. Sugar 7 do. Gum 2,160,000,000 9,600,000,000 11,760,000,000 9,600,000,000 as above 21,360,000,000 lbs. Averaging the quan tity of starch at 60 per cent., and the quantity of carbon ii starch at 45 per cent., we shall have 50i 1 21,360,000,000 10 1-5 10,680,000,000 2,136,000,000 251 t 12,816,000,000 lbs. starch, or 20 1-5 f 3,204,000,000 2,563,200,000 5,767,200,000 lbs. carbon. Without considering the other ingredients, which also con tain a large quantity of, carbon, as may be observed by refer ring to the composition of some of the proximate principles, as detailed before. If we take the potatoe we shall find it contain about 22 per cent. of starch, and that an acre will yield from 8 to 10,0001bs. bulk, it follows that as much or more carbon is converted into starch as in an acre of wheat. 100 parts of pease yielded 50 starch, 3 sugar, and 4 gluten. 1000 „ turnips give about 34 sugar and 7 mucilage. „ carrots give about 95 sugar and 3 mucilage. Again, if we take into consideration the large quantities of hay that are annually grown and carried off the land, averag ing from Ito 1 ton per acre of dry vegetable substance, and the quantities of grass consumed by cattle, all of which con tain large quantities of carbon, it is almost impossible to imagine from whence such a quantity can arise, as the quan tity capable of detection in the atmosphere amounts almost to a mere trifle ; therefore I think we may conclude with what we set out to prove, that, instead of animal respiration and deterioration from combustion being a source of injury to our atmosphere, it proves to be the reverse, as an equiva lent is found in the vegetable kingdom compensating any apparent injury it may have sustained. We must not omit to state, that large quantities of car bonic acid are carried off by water, down our rivers, &c. I have only one observation more to make, and that is with reference to ancient coal formations. The analysis by Dr. Thompson is— Caking Coal. Splint. Cherry Coal. Cannel Coal. Carbon.... 75.28 75.00 74.45 64.72 Hydrogen.. 4.18 6.25 12.40 21.56 Nitrogen .. 15.96 6.25 10.22 13.72 Oxygen .. 4.58 12.50 2.93 0.00 100.00 100.00 100.00 From the analysis of Dr. Ure a rather different result is given. Thus in splint coal he found that it contained 26.66 per cent. of oxygen : Thompson only calls it 12.50. Again, in cannel coal Dr. Ure gives 21.9 oxygen—Thompson 0.00; but, granting the larger quantity of oxygen, what is it when compared with the large proportion of carbon and hydrogen? for in the splint coal, when we have combined the six pro portionals hydrogen with 6 X 8 of oxygen to form water, or 6 hydrogen added to 48 oxygen, we shall find that there is not sufficient oxygen for the hydrogen. Now this corre sponds with what I previously remarked, that if, as is ad mitted by most geologists, the coal formations abound in the natural order of plants called the Coniferie, (these being of a resinous character, such as the pine, &c.,) in their growth both the carbon and hydrogen should part with their oxygen to the atmosphere. So that, if we take the present state of vegetable existences, or go back to former periods, we find the same fact established, viz., that the vegetable kingdom has always been the great renovator of our atmosphere. Naphtha being one of the principal of the bituminous sub stances, the analysis by Saussure consists of carbon 87.21, hydrogen 12.79, making together 100.00 containing no oxy gen ; and, as a proof of this, that highly combustible and oxidizable metal, potassium, may be preserved in it, which it could not if it contained oxygen. The effect which mosses produce I have not at present an opportunity of stating, but no doubt, when fully investigated, their economy. will be found equally interesting and useful. J. H. S. STATE OF TRADE LEEDS.—Saturday last was a bad day in both of the Cloth Halls; but on Tuesday rather more business was done at a slight advance in some cases, though very slight. Buyers only take what they need; yet the moneyed houses will pur chase on any inducement. In the warehouses there is not much doing. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a fair attendance of buyers at this market on Thursday, but owing to the density of the fog very little business was done, the merchants being unable to discern accurately the qualities of the goods. In the yarn market the transactions were as extensive as is usual at this season of the year, principally for home con sumption, and prices were fully sustained. The Wool market was dull, but in other respects there was no material THE FAILURE OF MESSRS. WRIGHT AND CO. (From the Morning Herald.) Numerous have been the speculations, well or ill-founded, adulged in by the press, and the rnmours not less so, in re ard to the failure of Messrs. Wright and Co., the bankers. On such subjects accuracy and the avoidance of exaggeration are the objects most desirable to be arrived at, and therefore generally it would be the preferable course to wait for autho rised statements on the part of those concerned, at least for a fitting period. This has been the reason why, beyond the announcement of the failure, as made public by the circular of the house, and the causes therein enumerated, it has not been deemed necessary to advert to the reports in circulation respecting the causes of the failure and the probable conse quences. Now, that attention has been much attracted to the subject on the one hand, whilst on the other no authorised statement of the bank's affairs has been made public, it can not be considered improper that some notice should be taken, and some facts illustrative of the bank's difficulties be made public. Mr. John Wright has made the confession humilia ting enough for himself, though exculpatory for his partners, that he alone by indiscreet, or rather extravagant speculation on his own account, has been the origin of all the mischief. Among those extraordinary sins of speculation of which he reports himself guilty, it may be noted that not the least extravagant were the establishment projected or carried into effect of two foreign banks, the one at Athens, the other at Havana. It is quite clear that the raw material of speculation in these two instances must have been of very elastic quality, or of very opposite fibre. For the establishment of a bank at Athens could be justified on no other grounds than the total absence of capital or credit there, in a metallic or any other form, the void of which therefore it was profitable and expe dient to fill up with issues of paper money. Whilst on the direct contrary the project of the Havana bank could only be accounted for on the plea that there was an abundance of hard dollars and doubloons to overflowing, and that it would be no less gainful than easy to relieve the people of this superfluous load of gold and silver by getting them to part with it for paper. It happened, however, that the Havana people could not be persuaded of the superior or equal value of flimsy paper with metals, and so the bank might as well have shut up shop from the very first day of its opening for any business it could do, or profit it could make. Mr. Wright, moreover, was an extensive dealer in lands as well as banks, and it was mainly to him that the colony of South Australia owed its existence, as he was about the largest subscriber for taking land lots and accumulating town and country sections, not only there in deed but subsequently in the new scheme of New Zealand. Whether he was concerned in any of the banking speculations for supplying the settlers in those countries with paper money in addition to land does not appear, but if territorial possessions abroad could enrich an individual and be convertible into stuff for constituting banking stock, undoubtedly Mr. Wright's titles must rim over no small extent of her Majesty's dominions beyond seas among kangaroos and cannibals. One of the first large operations which brought Mr. Wright prominently before the public eye was the project for a Russian loan of large amount some years ago, which was rendered abortive through the decisively expressed repugnance against the design, and the odium not unattended with serious danger to bank credit which would attend its undertakers. Since that time Mr. Wright's private room at the hank became the head-quarters ' for schemers of all sorts and sizes, and where any scheme, however strange, wild, and incompatible with banking busi ness, was sure of favour if not acceptance. In the case of Hammersley's bank, the speculations of the partners were at least confined to mercantile operations on their own ac count, among which may be noticed one, not before men tioned among those talked of, an extensive establishment on the other side of the water for the fabrication of brandy spirit out of potatoes, according to a new process, and by a new still introduced by some French adventurers. Upon this losing scheme it is supposed some £BO,OOO or £lOO,OOO was thrown away. But independent of private adventures on his sole account and charge, Mr. Wright's name became attached to a large number of company undertakings. in which the expected premiums on shares evidently formed no small part of the returns in the way of profit which were looked for. Many of them were of an equivocal, not to say of a discreditable kind, and gave rise to serious questions on some occasions of the credit and solvency of the bank itself. It is well known that the bank was the great money agent of the leading proprietors and capitalists, great and small, and of institutions public and private, appertaining to the Roman Catholic interest of the kingdom. Its des pots from these particular classes were enormous, and the knowledge of the fact with the reputation consequent of un limited command of money that way contributed above all to sustain and elevate the credit of the bank in spite of the discredit attaching to Mr. Wright's operations. The state ment of £50,000 as the amount in hand on the Duke of Norfolk's account is however believed to be erroneous. It is understood not to exceed £28,000, which is still a large sum. It is considered, however, that the Earl of Shrews bury has been, if he be not now among the largest, or pro bably the largest depositor, and his account is said sometimes to have exhibited as much as £200,000 or £300,000 to his credit. What the balance may be now is not stated, but long before the stoppage of the bank it was not an unfrequent remark that but for Lord Shrewsbury's account and balance it could not have held on so long by some years, in the face of Mr. John Wright's extraordinary speculations. Several of the poorer pious institutions of the Roman Catholics will be very severe sufferers on this occasion, even to their ruin, although doubtless the majority of the leading depositors of that persuasion are too substantial to be materially injured by the event. (From the Morning Post.) Mr. John Wright was known to every man of business in the City as a most sanguine person, and a promoter of many of the bubble companies and foreign loan schemes that have been thrust upon the patience of the over-credulous people of this country. The property of Mr. Anthony Wright, or Biddulph, which name he took on the death of a rich uncle of that name, and who is the elder brother of Mr. John Wright, has been commonly estimated at from £14,000 to £16,000 a-year, the whole being derived from the relative in question, besides the sum of £lOO,OOO, more or less, which was left him by his father. On the death of the uncle Thomas Wright (the banker), of Fitzwalter's, in Essex, Mr. Anthony Wright came into the firm, and with his ample funds, supported as they were by a high and respected cha racter, but, more than all, by the magnificent prospects sub sequently realised, on the death of Mr. Biddulph, gave a weight to the bank which procured for it the confidence, not of the Roman Catholic nobility and gentry alone, but of a very extensive Protestant, connection also. Mr. Anthony Wright took no active share in the business, but resided on his estates, highly respected, and abounding in wealth. Mr. Robinson, the father of one of the present partners, died about a year since, and was reputed very rich. He had, however, several children, and his property may possibly be no longer available, but is perhaps divided, and withdrawn altogether from the Covent-garden concern, excepting only such portion of it as may have been bequeathed to Mr. Henry Robinson, his eldest son and successor in it. The other partners, Mr. Jerningham (grandson of Mr. Thomas Wright, of Fitzwalter's, Mr. Jerningham's father having married a Miss Wright) and Mr. Beetle, or Bittle, who was many years a clerk in the house, and a man of considerable ability and most enduring and laborious habits of business, could neither of them, it is presumed, have possessed much independent property. Such were the elements of which the establishment was composed, and it is but due to the several partners to observe that, with the one single exception, more prudent and steady men never existed. - The Roman Catholic nobility and gentry are for the most part very wealthy, and by no means prodigal in their expen diture, but in the case of a majority of them, quite the reverse. The failure will, therefore, not seriously affect them. Of the religious communities who deposited their moneys in the hands of Messrs. Wright, some are 'needy enough. It is considered that at least twenty of the secular clergy establish ments of education in England did the same. In addition to the special Catholic and Protestant support of the house, it enjoyed the confidence of an extensive class of rich and money-making people located in and about Covent-garden. The Protestant connection also was, we will venture to say, equal, on the average, to that of the London bankers gene rally. How lamentable is it, then, that so valuable an insti tution, as it may be termed, should have been overturned, and so many splendid properties shipwrecked, through the blind infatuation—the inordinate speculative propensities—of one man! . _ _ _ - . It was shown in a recent proceeding before one of the com missioners of bankrupts that Messrs. Wright and Co. were crediters for £60,000 on the estate of Mr. Denew, the auc tioneer, of Charles-street, Berkeley-square. This is a large sum, but is said to be Well guaranteed. Yet much of it will, of course, be squandered in law. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Three o' Clock IMPORTANT NEWS FROM EGYPT, The Moniteur of Saturday publishes the following telegraphic despatch, which was regarded in Paris as conveying a proof that Mehemet Ali had submitted to the decree of the Al TOULON, Nov. 25, Four o'Clock P.M [Received on the 26th.] `THE CONSUL GENERAL TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE change ...

Several of the manufacturers have good orders in hand which promise to continue over the winter season an average number of weavers in full employment. LANCASHIRE.—The Cotton trade at Rochdale has this week become more gloomy, several of the largest millowners having announced their intention of beginning to allow their hands to work only four days per week. The woollen busi ness is not so brisk as it was a month ago, the hands in seve ral power-loom factories at Royton have already commenced the short time system. The silk and cotton weaving at Leigh are both in a depressed state ; it was calculated last week that there were one thousand five hundred and up wards of looms that had no work in them. The woollen cloth trade at Saddleworth is as good as can be expected at this season of the year ; the operatives are doing moderately, with respect to employment, but wages are low, and profits upon all kinds of goods arc less than we ever knew them to be. At Bolton, the great demand for goods which has ex isted during the last two or three weeks still continues with out any material alteration. The demand for some descrip tions of counterpanes is so great that many manufacturers are not able to meet the wants of their customers ; this, how ever, does not produce any extraordinary effect upon the prices, manufacturers being greatly in want of money, and those who have stocks are anxious to part with them. Fancy goods of almost every description continue to be in brisk de mand. The machinery in the cotton mills within the town is in full operation, and many of the masters are extremely brisk, having very extensive orders in hand, none, however, are realizing any important advance in regard to prices. The shopkeepers continue to make loud complaints of the scarcity of money, and of the distress which existi amongst the work ing classes. It will require a long time before the labouring population will attain to that state of comfort and plenty which is requisite to the health, happiness, and well being of society.

MIRACULOUS AND EXTRAORDINARY PRESERVATION OF LIFE FROM THE WRECK OF A VESSEL.—I have this day re ceived information of a French vessel having been driven on shore, bottom upwards, on Thursday, the 19th instant, on the rocks off Scilly, during a heavy gale—reported to be from Gallipoli for Havre, with oil. Some of the islanders having perceived the wreck, proceeded to ascertain the par ticulars and save the materiale, and when they gained the top (literally the bottom) of the vessel, they observed several holes, as if bored with a gimblet, which in discovering they cut a larger place, and upon one man putting his hand in to ascertain the cargo, it was immediately seized, and a voice was heard to exclaim, " For God's sake save us !" The parties dire c tly made the hole wider, being, assured that there existed some human beings in this truly distressing and novel situation, when to their inexpressible surprise, they found the master and three seamen, and soon released them from that barque which has so often borne them over many a rough and boisterous sea, but which was so likely to prove their coffin in the mighty deep, but for this providential and timely aid. They also took out two of their fellow-seamen who had died previously, one from exhaustion, the other from a cask of oil falling on him at the time the vessel struck on the rocks, and perceiving daylight, went to make another attempt to release himself and fello;v-sufferers from so extraordinary and distressing a situation.

If the new poor law had been followed by a general and enduring reduction of parochial burdens, still that change would have been deemed of very equivocal value, if accompanied by the growth and diffusion of feelings, which in their exercise are incompatible with the security of property. Now no one may deny that the new poor law has been all along regarded with ab horrence by the labouring classes. Some persons may deem the popular feeling on this subject exceedingly unwise : but as to the existence of the feeling, no one can entertain a doubt. The labourers of England be lieve that they have, by means of the new poor law, been robbed of their elder and stronger title to paro- chial relief in circumstances of diatress; and such a belief is dangerous to the institution of property. Look to the actual result ; let that result be compared with the prognostications of the authors of the new poor law. These " philosophers" promised us, that the " moral character" of the poor would " be ele vated" by the operation of their nostrums. They now declare that habits of dishonesty amongst labourers are spreading so widely, that nothing may impart security to property but the establishment of a rural police. in this statement. rightly interpreted, is to be found the condemnation of the new poor law. If under the operation of the new poor law, the morality of the la bouring classes has not been improved, the new poor law is admitted by its authors to be a fraud. But the rates, too, are rising. In every quarter may he heard complaints of the increasing burdens on ratepayers. Look at the vast increase, too, in the amount of private contributions for the relief of the poor—for many of the higher and middle classes dis like the new poor law, as much as labourers do ; and these benevolent individuals have not been slow to as sist unfortunate persons, who, but for relief at the hands of private generosity, must have taken refuge in the abhorred union workhouses. Look, too, at the monstrous sums paid to commissioners and their su bordinates ;—look to the impending cost of a rural Police ; and look to the stipendiary rural magistracy that will assuredly. follow. The gentlemen of Eng land—the owners of the soil—will, if the centralising system shall be carried out, be at no distant period displaced and set aside. The offices and honours which belong to them by hereditary right will shortly be lavished on the creatures of the Home-office; and let the country gentlemen be once stripped of their magisterial influences, and deposed from their national rank as leaders of the labourers ;—let this revolution, we repeat, be accomplished, and an organised attack on the property of the landowners will be attempted forthwith. The corn laws will be assailed then as they have never hitherto been assailed ; and a rural police will be found effectual in carrying out the views which an " open question" government entertains on that subject. THE LONDON UNIVERSITY _ (From the Standard.) _ _ We received yesterday from the House of Commons printer, probably the most extraordinary volume ever issued by the authority of a legislative assembly. It is entitled " Papers—London University," and it con tains 319 folio pages, very closely printed : two-thirds of these 319 pages are bestowed upon the minutes of the senate at its several meetings, and the remainder are occupied with a full report of the examination questions and papers for pass and for honours—a hash of interrogatories in history, ethical and natural philo sophy, theology, mixed up with problems in geometry, algebraical equations, propositions in physiology, mid wifery, physic, surgery, chemistry, and mineralogy, and copious quotations of passages to be translated from Hebrew, Greek, Latin, German, French, &c. _ The questions in the few departments of knowledge with which we have any slight acquaintance seem to be droll enough, and remind one of the playful little pamphlets published in the bonci fide Universities, en titled " Pluck Papers." Judging from what we see of the examinations in the London University, by the faithful record which Parliament has been kind enough to publish, the scale of learning is not pitched very high by the senate, as we may hereafter show, if some of our young friends do not spare us the trouble of a selection ; and whoever reads the papers will not be surprised that about one-third of the pupils are re turned as taking honours. The puzzle is to under stand how the remaining two-thirds fail to shine in an examination, which few schoolboys need fear to en counter. The question for consideration, however, is the publication of this farrago by Parliament at the public expense. 'What would be thought of a parlia mentary publication of the Oxford and Cambridge and Dublin papers—and they would be really worth some thing ? The answer to our question is, that "the learning" of the London University " has been let fly upon the "public" at a cost of four or five hundred pounds, upon the motion of that great scholar and strict economist, Mr. Joseph Hume. THE USURPING GOVERNMENT (From the Edinburgh Evening Post.) The Whig-radical, O'Connell-Melbourne ministry must now think seriously of putting their house in or der. It is utterly impossible that. they can be allowed much longer to carry on the government in the present gone of their party papers —not even their most selfish and unscrupulous parti zans—will dare to pretend that they now possess a ma jority in their favour, so far as the constituencies are concerned. What signifies the support which they continue to scrape together in the House of Com mons, small and precarious as it is, when they have the stark-staring fact before them, that, if the people at large were appealed to, their opponents would com mand, to a dead certainty, a majority of nearly, if not more, than one hundred against the Bedchamber ad ministration ? And, moreover, of what avail is the countenance of the court, faithless as it usually is, when put in the scales against the determined and en ergetic feeling of the country. Yet on what other means does this miserable ministry of shreds and patches depend for the prolongation of their degraded existence ? We put the question, but we need not pause for a reply. The answer-a death-knell to whiggish ear s —i s t o be found in the results of the recent registrations in England, and the not less unmistakeable evidence of the municipal elections. As we have recently recorded, the Whig-radicals have suffered the most galling and undeniable defeat in the boroughs of England. We point to the case of Liverpool as an example of the progress which the conservative cause has made and is making in the sister kingdom. We believe that in every considerable town similar success has attended the efforts of the conservatives—a fact which we defy the whig-radical journals to disprove or even to con tradict.

Pekins, satins, velvets, levantines, and moires d'Orient foulards, are the materials now in demand, and the favourite colours are seabieuse, orange and black, and amethyst. Cloth dresses and redingotes are preparing in Paris ; they are made full in the skirt, with tight bodies and sleeves ornamented with buttons. Tight sleeves are becoming very general, of the Amidis form, with two seams ; the skirts are very full round the waist ; the corsages with three seams continue in favour ; they are much improved by a treble row of buttons, which continue down the skirt. Gimp trimmings are much worn. Cachemire dresses are ornamented with velvet but tons of the same colour. _ Chambery gauze is very fashionable for young ladies' dresses, embroidered with silk, silver, or gold. The guipure lace of large and heavy patterns is quite out of favour, but Brussels lace and blond have lost none of their value. Lace scarfs, both black and white, are very fashionable ; some are also of embroidered muslin, lined with pink gauze, and trim med with lace. Mantilles of embroidered organdy, with pa godes to match, form pretty additions to a silk dress. Plain cambric collars, edged with Valenciennes, are in favour; also the cols russes, amazon, and cols a la Francaise. Bournous, mantelets, clinks manteaux, and mantes edged with velvet, and short manteaux of flannel with hood, &c, &c, are all in demand , now ; the most elegant are the manteaux crispin of velvet, lined with white silk and trimmed with fur. Mantelets are made in Paris of the long pelerine form, with points terminating with a tassel, trimmed all round with a ruche. Furs are much in demand from the boa to the trim ming on the dress, and muffs inflated with air instead of being wadded are much approved. Straight scarfs of velvet, wad ded and quilted in large checks, are very fashionable in Paris ; the only trimming is a rich fringe at each end, or sometimes two or three rows of black lace. Velvet is the favourite ma terial for bonnets, and black is preferred ; velours perle isalso used, ornamented with flowers or feather of the same colour. Capotes of velvet mixed with satin have been introduced in Paris, also capotes coulisses of white velours epingle, and satin bonnets covered with a reaille of twisted silk. Chenille is in favour for bonnet ornaments. Evening coiffures par take much of the Oriental style.

The head dresses composed of lace and flowers continue in fa vour ; they are worn very backward on the head. Coral con tinues to be worn in Paris, and ornaments arc made of it for the drapery and front of dresses. CHESTER CHEESE FAIR.—On Wednesday last, about two hundred tons were pitched.

PORTSMOUTH. —A rumour is current that our Port Admi ral, Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.8., is to have the vacant lucrative post of Governor of Greenwich Hospital. Admiral Sir Philip Durham is also spoken of, though with less cer tainty. The Formidable, 81,,Alfred, 50, and Cornwall, 50, are hastening in the river for commission. The troop-ship Saphire, Mr. Cole, master, has left this harbour for Cork, to convey detachments of the 42d refit. to the Mediterranean, from which quarter the Apollo troop-ship is daily expected to arrive. The steam-vessel Avon, commanded by Lieutenant Pritchard, sailed on Saturday for Chatham, with volunteers for the Monarch, 84. The Avon is in future to be stationed at Plymouth, instead of Falmouth. Although the political horizon is more pacific, there is no diminution of the activity which has prevailed for some time in the equipment of ships at the several ports. Vessels :are running to and from va rious quarters with volunteers for general service; and in all the government departments the same bustle is apparent. The Salamander steam-frigate, Commander Henry, will leave this port for Gibraltar and Malta about the 28th inst. The Vengeance, 84, will be taken out of dock in the early part of next week, for commission. Her stores, &c., are being got ready without delay. The Britannia, 120, and Howe, 120, passed down channel on Friday with a fine wind fruit ENE., for Gibraltar and Malta. Both ships are crowded with men and warlike stores.—Brighton Gazette. Wheat Qrs.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE.-YESTERDAY At our market this morning, there was a moderate fresh supply of English wheat ; we experienced, however, a very slow demand for this grain, and till factors submitted to a reduction of from ls. to 2s. per quarter on the quotations of this day se'nnight, no progress could be made in effecting sales. In foreign wheat there was very little passing, and prices remained nominally unaltered. Flour, both of town and country manufacture, moved off slowly at last week's abatement. With barley we were tolerably well supplied, and all kinds met a heavy sale at prices fully Is. to 2s. per qr. under those obtained on Monday last. We have to re port a good fresh arrival of oats, chiefly from Ireland, and our dealers buying very sparingiy, the trade in this grain was of a retail character, at a decline of 6d. per qr. on the rates of this day week. Beans, being plentiful, receded from ls. to 2s. per qr., and peas were fully 3s. per qr. cheaper. COUNCIL " ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 11. " The fortress of St. Jean d'Acre was captured on the 3d, after the explosion of the powder magazine. " Ibrahim has received orders from his father to withdraw with all his troops." LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY (From Messrs. R. MAKIN sr SONS' Circular.) The imports up to Friday last were trivial : upon a change of wind, however, within the last two days, the arrivals of Wheat, principally from London, have increased considera bly ; and of most kinds of Grain, except Oats, which are still rather limited, we have to note a fair supply fresh in for to-day ; but of Flour and Oatmeal a moderate accession only. Of Lancashire and Cheshire Wheats few samples appeared to-day, a week of fine, dry weather enabling the farmers to recommence sowing, which, being now in active progress around us, will probably curtail the deliveries from them for the moment :—meanwhile we may venture to observe that the quantity of duty-paid foreign and colonial Wheat in gra nary here is estimated at about 75,000 quarters, and of Flour 70,000 barrels, leaving a much less choice of fine qualities than Was offering some weeks previously ; for although no extensive demand has been apparent of late, each has been imperceptibly moving into consumption daily.—Of bonded Wheat the stock here consists merely of 24,854 quarters ; and of Flour 21,037 barrels. In consegnenee of the decline in Mark-lane yesterday and the increased arrivals of Wheat since Friday, the trade for all descriptions of that grain was extremely dull here this morning, and a reduction of 2d to 3d per 701bs from the rates of Tuesday last was generally established in the value of Irish and foreign'; English of very fine quality alone re taining our previous quotations. Flour, both Foreign and British, was likewise in slow re quest, but not cheaper. Malting Barley and Malt appeared to command very little notice, and each may be quoted 2s per qr. lower ; grinding Barley, at the same time was very unsaleable, and nominally depressed in value. In Beans no change was apparent.—Pease dull, with a tendency to decline in value. Oats and Oatmeal, in the absence of any material supplies, supported the advance above-mentioned, although taken off sparingly at the imorovement. iRRIVALS OF CORN, 4 to the 30th November, 1840 From the 24t4 inclusii COAST- I UNITS]) DESCRIPTION LAND.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 30 Our market to-day was largely supplied with Beef and Mutton, which was in good demand, and no alteration in the price of Beef, but Mutton a little lower—prime Beef 6d, middling sid, inferior sd, best Weathers 6id, middling arid inferior 51d to sd. Number of Peasts, 1811 ; Sheep, 5953. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Nov. 30. There is a visible improvement in our Butter market to-day,— both in price and demand,—several sales having been made at au advance of fully 23 per cwt. Belfast arc now worth 102 s, Speculators appear more inclined to touch Butters of a secondary character, and uninspected Bunbridge find favour at 92s to 93. I❑ pickled Butters, a fair business is doing at our last quotation. Nothing at all doing in provisions. Bacon is Is to 2s per cwt. higher, with a better demand. LIVERPOOL COLONIAL MARKET, Nov. 27 Sugar.—The demand is still very limited, and the sales are con fined to '2OO hhds. B.

P., at 9s 4d per gallon. Tea.—There has been a good inquiry during the week, at ho proving prices; but there is very Title offering on the market, in consequence of holders standing out for higher rates. Since the public sale of Indigo on the Igth instant, there has been some demand, and about 30 chests sold at a slight improve ment, and 60 chests Bombay Fig at 2s per lb. The sales in other East India Produce have been to a very moderate extent; 10 serons of silver Cochineal, at 4s 3d to 4s 4d ; Bengal Turmeric at 235 6d ; blue Galls at 655; 10 chests Diamond I Lac Dye at 218 per lb.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 28 The imports of British Grain, &c., for the past week, have been very light, being, for the moat part, comprised in 3,850 qrs of Wheat, 4,140 qrs of Oats, and 4,470 loads of Oatmeal from Ireland. The only arrivals from abroad consist of 50 brls of Flour from the United States and 2,530 brls from Canada. There have been realised from Bond, during the same period, 1,069 qrs of Wheat, 260 qrs of Barley, and 1,590 qrs of Peas. Since the date of our last report, when we had occasion to note rather a better demand and full prices for Wheat, there has not been much animation in the trade. Yesterday we had a few buyers at market, and, had sales been pressed, a somewhat lower range of prices would have ensued. Flour has met a moderately fair demand United States sweet at 333 to 345, Canadian at 32s to 32s 6d : sour parcels have been sold at 305 per barrel. The very limited supplies of Oats, and Oatmeal have enabfed the importers to realize rather higher rates 3s Id per 4801bs has been paid for good Sligo Oats, well-dried, and 26s 9d per 3401b5 for the best Meal. The purchases, however, have been confined to the wants of necessitous buyers. Tho market is bare of malting Barley : fine English chevalier would bring 405 to 425 per imperial quarter. Most of the recent arrivals of Foreign Oats have teen cleared off at 41s to 43s per quarter. No change in the value of Beans. A few hundred barrels of United States Flour, in bond, have been sold at 245 per brl. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 27 A continued dulness has prevailed throughout the week, yet no general disposition has been evinced by holders to submit to any reduction ; and though little alteration can be noted in the quota tions, occasional sales have been made at lower rates. • A public sale to-day, 3191 Surat were brought forward, and 1360 sold at prices fully equal to the previous business by private. 500 American have been taken by Speculate! s, add 350 Surat by Exporters.
