DINNER TO SIR ROBERT PEEL AT
LIVERPOOL.

Last night his worship, the Mayor, entertained a
select party at the Town-hall. The guests sat down at seven
o'clock, and among them were:—Lord Bandon, Sir Robert
Peel, Mr. Wm. Brown, M.P., Mr. Cardwell, M.P.. Mr.
' Thornely, M.P. Mr. Wen. Jecksan,M.P., Colonel Faulkner,
Captain Evans, Captain Bevis, Mr. Rushton, Mr. Brantley-
Moore, the Town-clerk, Mr. C. Lawrence, Mr. Ju. Law-
rence, Mr. W. Earle, Mr. H. Earle, Mr. R. Earle, Mr. 6,1)-
son, Mr. Baines, Mr. Cortazzic, Mr. Sands, Mr. B. Holme,
Mr. A. Lure, Mr. Langton, Mr. D. Campbell, Mr. H. Little-
dale, Mr. Neilson. Rev. W. Connybesre, Mr. Grant, Mr. T.
B. Horsfall, Mr. Nichol.
On the cloth being withdrawn, the usual loyal toasts were
given, and received with applause of more than wonted
Intensity.
The Mayon then proposed the "Arm and Navy,"
coupling with the toast the names of Col. Faulkner, to whom
his worship paid • high compliment for indefatigable zeal in
his military connexion with the district, and of Captain
Bevis, R.N.
Colonel FAULINER briefly and happily responded, ex.
pressing the pleasure and satisfaction he had derived in hie
intercourse in the discharge of his duties with this '
municipality.
Captain EVANS. R.N., es the senior post captain, returned
thanks on the part of the navy, and declared that, though
peace at present happily prevailed, should occasion require,
the " wooden walls of old England " would be found as I
serviceable and invulnerable as in the fighting days of Nel-
ms and Collingwood. (Applause).
" The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese " was then given,
with which his worship coupled the name of a respected re.
lative then at the table, and of Mr. Connybeare, Principal of
the Collegiate Institution.
The Rev. CHARLES LAWRENCE acknowledged the com-
pliment. Although, he observed, the peculiar duty which
clergymen were called upon to discharge involved (neces- I
sexily attendant upon the spiritual office) dangers and dif ..
mites, and annoyances of a trying nature, yet in his opinion
an occasion like the present, with its concomitant gratifica-
tions, was full and ample compensation, inasmuch as it
brought to the clergymen the conviction that they were
supported by the opinions of good men, and the approbation
of the society for which they laboured. (Cheers).
The 24/TOa then gave " The Lord Lieutenant of the
County." He again rose in a few minutes, and pro-
posed "The Health of Lord Bandon, late M.P. for the
Borough." They would all be delighted, he said, more
especially there, to drink the health of a nobleman-long
known to many of them, who, for sixteen years, in five
successive parliaments, had honourably and usefully (with
honours to himself and advantage to his country) represented
this borough. It certainly could not be asserted even if
Lord Sandon, that in that long period of time, in every
vicissitude of the political world, he had invariably, and on
all occasions given satisfaction to the whole body of his con-
stituents, yet no one had ever attempted to'deny that, to the
majority, he had given satisfaction, and that universally he
had won many times admiration,'and always respect. Es ery
ono admitted the noble lord's honesty, integrity, and earnest
desire to promote, by every means in his power, the pros.
peril y of all classes in the community; and be therefore
called upon them to drink his health with three times three.
(Loud applause.)
The to.,st was drunk accordingly.
Lord SANDJN rose to respond, and was greeted heartily
on preventing himself. The noble lord, after alluding
in • very impressive manner to the origin of his can.
rat lion with Liverpool, and to the results which had ensued
in his career ae representative of the town, spoke of the
honour which he had always considered the representation
of so important a town had conferred upon him, expressing
an opinion that the pride with which he had always accepted
the trust might be deemed justifiable when it was remembered
who were the men who formerly, in more stirring times, had
been returned to parliament as members for Liverpool. One
of his predecessors in the office, it would be sufficient to say,
had been ;he illustrious Huskisson, and he frankly con-
fessed, expecting that the merit would be at least ac-
corded to him of having adopted the best possible model,
that it had always been his aim and ambition to tread
in the footsteps of that very remarkable man. (Applause).
He responded entirely to all the observations which had
been made by the mayor. It was his conviction that
England owed still a deep debt of gratitude to William
Huskisson. He had endeavoured, wisely and cautiously, at
the same time firmly and fairly, to free commerce from its
fetters, to facilitate the trade of the world, and to reader
the interchange of nations as unrestricted as the best inte-
rests of humanity demanded. (Appluse). Lord Sudan then
entered into a variety of etatistica of • very interesting cha-
racter, throwing some new light on the immensity of the pro-
gress of the port of Li verpool,si ace the date of his first connexion
with it, with regard both to the population and the dock and
corporate revenues, demonstrating the flourishing condition
of the commerce flowing into the estuary of the Mersey, and
verifying some observations previously made by the mayor In

respect to the enormous responsibility inevitably entailed upon
those who accepted the representation of the borough of
Liverpool. la proportion to the Increase of Liverpool in
Power and wealth, he said, would there be expected from
tts representatises increased diligence and incessant care;
and it was to him a matter of the meat profound sans-
faction to be assured that, generally speaking, his late
constituents had not found him wanting in the due discharge
of the duties he had undertaken to perform. (Applause). After
some further remarks, the noble lord concluded by returning
thanks fee the hearty manner in which his health had been
received, and eat down amid loud applause.
The MAYOR, then gave, what might be considered (he
toast of the evening, "The health of Sir Robert Peel," I
highly eulogising the public conduct of the right honour-
able baronet, and acknowledging the services he had ren-
dered to the British empire during the periods which he
had held office. The toast, he said, had peculiar in-
terest, not only because of the prominent position of Sir
Robert Peel, but because he had that day kindly con-
sented to be present on raring the statue of one of
the most distinguished of his colleagues in • former
administration, to the pedestal prepared for it in front of the
Custom house. It was, the Mayor said, exceedingly appro-
priate that Sir R. Peel should have arrived in Liverpool on
that particular day, for the town was then being engaged in
doing honour to one to whom it owed much: and it was the
peculiar glory and pride of Sir Robert Peel to have followed
out, consummated and completed, the policy which Idr.lius-
kiuon had se advantageously originated. (Loud cheers).
Sir R. PEEL, in returning thanks, said, that, when some
weeks ago, the worshipful the mayor, transmitted to him an
invitation to be present at that dinner, he had gladly
and gratefully accepted it,—first, because the opportu-
nity was thus afforded him of forming a personal inti-
macy with a family whom
,he had long respected, and of
which the mayor was a member; secondly, because
it would be in his power, in that way, to evince his high
estimation of the town of Liverpool, in the person of its
chief officer; end, thirdly, it was with him an object to
make himself thoroughly acquainted with some of the
secrets and details of this great commercial community,—
the greateet, probably, that the world knew,—and of admir-
ing the energy and enterprise, the vigour and skill, by which
the estuary of the Mersey had been fitted for the reception
of the commerce of the world, The right honourable
baronet, at great length, dilated upon the solicitude with
which he had always regarded the affairs of Liverpool, con-
vinced, as he had always been, that the success of this
port must reflect the prosperity of the country. (Cheers.)
There were of her reasons why he should always have examined
with some interest the rise of the port to its present paramount
importance. He was unconnected with Liverpool by any
local ties, but with the county of Lancashire he claimed a
long and close connection—all the wealth and status of his
family being attributable to that very fortunate circumstance.
(Cheers). It was long tinee he had last visited Liverpool,
and the occasion was memorable. That day, fixed for the
opening of the railway to Manchester, commenced in joy
and triumph, and, by • most melancholy event, closed in
lamentation and woe. On that day a fatal accident betel
the illustrious statesman to whom the mayor had
alluded—with whom it had been his (Sir R. Peel's) hap-
piness, (or many years of his life, to be iii habits of constant
and intimate friendship —with whom he had acted as a
colleague in tha service of the crown—and for whose views,
knowledge, and virtues he had always entertained a most
profound regard. (Applause). It was to him a source of great
gratification that he bad been present on a monument being
raised in Liverpool to the memory of Mr. Huskissou.
Having complimented Mr. Gibson, the artist, on the admir-
able execution of the work, he said that he regretted that
his pleasure in visiting Liverpool had been somewhat
lessened by finning that at this moment there existed con-
siderable embarrassment amongthcommercial classes. (Hear,
hear). Into the causes or supposed causes of those suffer-
ings, ft would not be expected he should then enter, nor
was it indeed the time to speculate upon the remedies
there could be found for the prevailing depression. (Hear,
hear.) This alone he might be permitted to remark, that
no one entertained a greater desire than he did to alleviate
most effectually the present state of commercial affairs. (Ap-
plause.) After some observations of a similar character,
claiming no specific notice, the right hon. baronet concluded
by thanking the company for the honour they bad done
him, and sat down amid loud applause.
The MAYOR then gave "The Health of the Members for
the county."
Mr. WILSON PATTEN, M.P., and Mr. W. BROWN, M.P.,
severally returned thanks.
Lord SAN DON then proposed the health of the mayor.
It was to him a subject of congratulation that his con-
nexion with Liverpool had secured for him the tried friend-
ship of Mr. George Hall Lawrence, a gentlemen whom he
had known in many relations of life, and who, as he could
testify, had in all endeared himself to every one who had
enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance. (Applause.)
The Alexi:e briefly responded, end then gave " The
Members fur the Borough," explaining that Sir Thomas
Birch had been prevented attendiug by the necessity of re-
maiming on the Continent.
Mr. CARDWELL, M.P., for himself and his hon. colleague,
returned thanks. _ _

The MAYOR then, in • highly complimentary speech,
called upon his guests to drink the health of Mr. R. V.
Yates. He 'poke of that gentleman no a citizen to whom
Liverpool would be permanently indebted for the munifi-
cient manner in which he had provided pleasure-grounds
for the recre►tion of the inhabitants of this overeriwded
. . . " '•

Mr. YATES responded humourously, recommending the
people of Liverpool, at their earliest convenience, to take
advantage of the present he had made them, by building
houses in the neighbourhood.
The heal h o Mr. Gibson was next proposed, as the
sculptor of the statue of Huskisson. The name of that great
man (Mr. Lawrence said) was associated the highest tri•
umphs in modern art, and in no work had he done himself
greater credit than in that which bad been liberally present.
ed to the town as :luting memorial by the esteemed relict of
the
Ll7.ttitinsore said—l hope my vanity will not be increased
by the encomiums which the mayor has been pleased to pas'
upon my work ; but I do trust that his praises and your ap-
probation will stimulate me to accomplish greater things. I
return you my very best thanks for the honour you have
done me.

The health of Sir Howard Douglas, who was not present,
having been drunk,
The MAYOR gave the health of Mr. Therrien, M.P.
for Wolverhampton, commenting upon the eagerness that
gentleman always evinced to promote the interests of his
native town. . .

Y
--.---.
Mr. THORNELT observed that it would always be his
endeavour to second the efforts of Liverpool men and
Liverpool representatives. He trusted that the trying cir-
cumstances under which the community was at present la-
bouring would speedily disappear, and he hoped, it mistakes
bad been made by merchants who had over-traded, or by the
great monetary'estabiishment, which had not manned affairs
with the very best discretion, that, when the present storm
had subsided, both parties would learn a lesson from their
errors, and be in a position to make their experience service-
afle. (Hear, hear.)
The lad toast proposed was " The Commerce of the
Mersey Liverpool and Birkenhead," with which was
coupled the health of Wm. Jackson, Esq., M.P. for New-
castle.
Mr. JACKSON, in responding, very pointedly observed
that, although the river Mercy had two sides, there was but
one interest concerned. (Hear, hear). The success of the one
port would enhance the prosperity of the other, and
jealousy or fear of one distancing the other was altogether
absurd and out of place. The same object was held in
view by both, and he sincerely hoped that they would both
pursue, perhaps conjointly, the same great cads.
The company shortly altewards broke up.

REPORTED MURDER AT FOOT'S CRAY.—We aro
informed that there is no truth in the detailed report of a
murder at Foot. Cray, which appeared in the Herald,
Chronicle, and Post of this morning.

UNION SETTLEMENTS. The goartliarke of the
Dorking union are endeavouring to avail themselves of the
provisions of the Poor-law Amendment Act to unite all the
parishes of the union as one parish for the purposes of settle-
ment, upon the following grounds:
I. That many labourers are compelled to reside In rarlhem where
they are sot legally settled, because there are not dwellings for them
In them where they work, and where they are nettled. That this
wont of cottages Is attributable to the dislike which owners of land
have to build upon their estates.-2. That this diecourapment to
the building of cottager has the effect of compelling labourer., to
go greater distances daily to their work, and they ere obliged
to hire curb dwellings as they can meet with, often without
either garden ground or yard room sufficient for mdinary
onmniodation, or even for the common decencies of life.-3.
That the ratepayers of the larger parishes hare cause to com-
Laain of an amount of rate consequent upon the Influx of
bourers working elacwhere. 1. That the union of the parishes es
one, for the purpose of settlement, will tin the espenses of earth
math In future at the name proportion as wan determined by the
scale of averages declared In June, IBN ; and that, therefore, there
will he no reason, on the score of settlement or probable inereue of
expense, to prevent the building of cottage. upon or scar the farms
upon which labourers are employed ; neither will there be any in-
crease of rates bemuse of an Increase of residents. 5. That the union
of pariehet will glee a greater freedom of choice to the labourer in
seeking employment, and to the master In choofing his labourer. a.
That workmen of character, skill, and good conduct, will be Mart
nought rafter by the master ; end tberclure the advantages of skill,
character, and good conduct, will be more clearly understood by
workmen. I. That all expenses attending removals between partaker
In the union will be avoided.

Tnc GREAT FAIR OP LEIPSIC.—We have lust
received the third report from the Leipaie fair, front which
it appear* that, although there had been a continued rain
for the last eight days, there was, nevertheless, greater
activity in the market, though the wholesale trade is almost
over. Nearly every article finds a ready sale. The Saxon
manufactures went off readily, and the Swiss goods in needle-
! work and embroidery, which were of the latest fashion,
were all disposed of. The French goods in fancy silks,
woollens, &c., were chiefly purchased by large houses in
Moldavia and Wallachia, *Russia and Poland, end • new
French article for the haute route, called moire antique, in
figured stuffs in silver and gold, was highly approved. From
all accounts it appears that the merchant, are pert', cUy
satisfied, and that the fair for the wholesale trade has been
more than an average, and that, in consequence of the em-
ployment which the manufacturers and mechanics, especially
those of Saxony, will obtain from it, they can look forward
to the ensuing winter with perfect ease.

REDUCTION Of PRICEEI.—At Roecrea fair on Satur-
day there was a large supply of Mock; fat cattle and springer
cows were sold from 20s. to Ws.. head lower than in August
fair. There was a still greater depression in the sale of in-
ferior description of cattle of all kinds, in consequence of a
defitieney of grass. Fat sheep were sold at from ss. to 6s.
ander bite pekes, and stores at a greater reduction.

HULL, Oct. 15.-Cerain In Wheat very little business has
been doing ; we cannot quote any alteration in last week's

Other articles the same. For Rye Meal the demand has
been rather slack, and only small sales are effected at rather
lower rates. Nitrate of Soda has been meld rather under the
quotations. Linseed Cakes have been free of sale, both
English and Foreign ; the former, 111. 7s. 6d. per too ;

plied with ell qualities, and there is good choice for buyers.
The consumption is now very extensive, both in this pert and
the neighbourhood, which causes a brisk demand, and, in
general, prices of lan week have been well supported : say,

Ltvearoon, Oct. 15.-Opposed by easterly winds, our
imports of grain from abroad since Monday last are trivia/ ;
those of Flour from the United States and Canada, however,
are fair in amount, exceeding '21,000 barrels. Coastwise we
have scarcely anything fresh in to notice, and the arrivals
from Ireland do not increase in the proportion usual at this
season of the year, the wants of the millers there, and high
prices relative with ours, preventing any extreme shipments
at present; whilst the exports hence in that direction con.
tinue to be liberal. We have had a slack trade generally
between Tuesday and to-day, end, with the exception of In-
dian Corn, the tendency of value has been again rather
downwards. Havieg fewer country millers at our Corn
Exchange to-day than of late, the transectioni in any kind of
Wheat were but moderate, and both English and Irish, as
well a. the general Tuns of foreign, receded 3d. under tne
current rates of Tuesday. States and Canadian Flour, al-
though saleable to a fair amount to consumers, declined Is.
par barrel; and Irish, in which little business was apparent,
was rather cheaper. Without any new malting Barley re-
maining unsold, grinding samples were in tolerable request
and the turn dearer. Malt. Beans, and Peas, upon a limited
demand, were unaltered in value. Oats, being taken off
sparingly, declined Id. per 451 b. ; and Oatmeal. Is. per load.
Indian Corn, continuing to attract a moderate share of
attention fur both English and Irish account, maintained our
last quotations; Corn Meal, even upon a good demand, giving
way 6d. per barrel. British; Wheat, per 701 b.., Engliah,red,

WATERFORD, Oct. 13.—At this morning's market our
supply of Wheat was somewhat on the increase, and found
buyers at last week's quotations. Barley and Oats in good
request at the full prices of Saturday. Indian Corn rather
difficult to quit, owing to the continuance of heavy arrivals.

HOPS. BOROUGH MARKET, Two o' Clock.
Messrs. Pattenden and Smith, Hop-factors, report that
the trade is active for all descriptions of Hops. At Weyhill
fair, the 9uantity sold up to last evening was about 3,000
pockets I- arnhams, from 41. tato 6/. 6a ; country do., 3/. 10s.
to 51. Duty for that district is laid at 6,500/. Total duty
estimated at 190,0001.

MAIDSTONI, Oct. 14.—Picking is still going on with a
few, some of whom will not have finished before the begin-
ning
of next week. The weather still continues favourable
for the work, but at this late period the Hops are quite brawn
with extreme ripeness. We are informed that the celebrated
college garden this year exceeds the previous estimate, pro-
ducing fully sixteen cwt. an acre. This, however, is 2 cwt.
en acre short of last year ; and we learn that in some of the
neighbouring grounds there is a greater deficiency. It ap-
pears there will be no mistake about grubbing the -Hops this
year. We have already seen great preparations undo
for decreasing the plantations, which have been getting
overgrown within the last two or three years. Although
the Hop duty loses some of its importance this year
as regards its influence on prices —for they appear to
be entirely governed and deprered beyond measure by
the recent failures and deranged state of the money market,
still ft is looked to here with great anxiety by many classes,
as well as these engaged in, the culture of Hops. Some of
our growers are very late, and those who have finished are
by no means pleased with their growth, irrespective of
pnose. The duty to-day is variously estimated—barkers
being shy at 195,0001., whilst many are anxiously making
books in favour of it. From the very peculiar state of the
picking, it is impossible to make a report from each pariah ;
but we know several large parishes en this district where
picking is finished, not one of which will realise last year's
growth. We should say that in this district the duty would
be easily backed for for 190,0001., and in Sussex it is re-
ported—and we have received a good authority upon the
subject—the duty will not exceed 445,0001. The time, how-
ever, is rapidly going on that will solve the question. Mean-
time, we say again to the growers, " Hold your Hops, they
must realise more than the present miserable prices."
WryniLL, Oct. 15.—Late last evening alter our report
was dispatched, the holders of Hops gave way materially in
price, and the Farahama, for which 91. per cwt. was de-

mended on Wednesday, sank to 6!. and 71., and even then
but few were sold ; some at 61. 12e. This Morelos some ex-
cellent Farnhams sold at 6/. 55. ; also from Bentley. Alton,
Crandall, Froyle, and other country districts, she best made
hot 41 100., up to 4/. 151 a few choice sample. reaching
51., of the we'prht of 2 ewhiqr., or nearly, per pocket. Some
grown by Sir T. Miller, of Froyle, made Si. 65., while a
great number of pockets made but from 31. 10s. to 1/. ; in-
ferior Hops (of which there were more than usual), were
sold as low as from 60s. to 555. per cwt. • year:inr, 40s. to
45e. ; old, 30.. to 355.; some prime Farnblons of last year's
growth, made from 51. to 61. 10s., while others sold at from
4!. 10s. to 41. 16s. The Sussex Hops were offered at
various prices, some as low as 605.; while others asked from
41. to 41. 15s. per cwt. Some business was done by sample
in those of best quality. The Eut Rents were offered, and
some sold, at from 41. to M. 10$. per cwt. • many equalling
the best Farnhams selling at 61.; good do. at 10s. less
money. The Weald of Keats, from the vicinity of Maid-
stone and Rochester, were at prices from 31. to 41.4.. There
has not been a fair on Waybill for the last twenty years where
so few pockets found absolute purchasers for use, speculation
being quite out of the question. None but brewers, inn-
keepers, publicans, and retail dealers were found to buy.
and they but sparingly. Out of the .5,000 pockets and burs
for sale, it is computed that at least 2,000 were left unsold.
All the stores at Andover and Weyhill and villages around
being engaged to put the unsold into, to await the coming
fair to be held at Andover next month. Some were sent in-
tended to be offered at Salisbury large Michaelmas fair held
next Tuesday.

WORCESTER, Oct, Is.—For the inferiorumples aconsiders
able reduction in prices yielded to, as follows. Inferior New,
Ms. to 705.; tine, from val. to 80s.; yearlings, from GO& to
80s. ; old olds, from 30s. to fiOs. per cwt.

WOOL—BRADFORD.—There is great inactivity
among the buyers of combing wools, and the quantity
changing hands during the week has been unusually small,
yet there is no disposition to press sales, owing to the great
difficulty that still exists in purchasing from the growers,
so as to meet the prices current here, Nails and broke',
from the small quantities making, maintain their price

HAY.—SMITEIPILLD, Tama Clock.—Messrs. Cooper
and Davis, Hay and Straw Salesmen, report the trade at the
following quotations :

CATTLE.—BRENTWOOD FAIR, Oct. 16.—Thin day
terminates our snood annual fair, and the supply of cattle
sent in to our market continued, as yesterday, of a very fair
deem iption, some portion of which had been forwarded from
the lower part of the county. Our attendance of fanners
was about the same as heretofore, and although prices were
net very moderate, yet the trade did net evince s particularly
dull tendency. The reports relative to the late alleged de-
tection of diseased mutton in London has given rise to many
conjectures that an advance in that desenption of meat will
be the consequence ; but by many others it is thought that
our home markets will yet prove sufficiently productive to
prevent the realisation of a more advanced figure than that
hitherto obtained. At all events, it behoves our country
market inspectors to watch well the supplies sent in to them,
and thus prevent any imposition being practised upon our
farmers, the onus, of course, falling on them. The utmost
attention is paid to London relative to the latter caution.

Denny, Oct. 12 —There was not a good supply of Beasts
to-day; but of Sheep and Lambs an average. Pigs wets
plentaful. Fat Calves scarce. Beef made from 55d. to 61d.
per lb. ; Mutton, 6d. to 78. ; Lamb, 6d. to 7d. ; Veal, 64d.
to 7d. Pigs, 9s. 6d. to 105. per score. Rough Fat, 4s. 6d.
per stone. Hides, 251. per lb. Calf Skins, 2d. to 4d.

•
EXCTER, Oct.ls.—The Fair at Alphingt on on Wedneeitty
had great effect upon our market to-day, there being in fact
no fat Beef on offer. The business of the fair was greatly
damaged by the weather, t►e rain being heavy and incessant
throughout the day. The price of prime Beef was 10s. to
10s. Gd, per score; rather a less figure than has of late pre-
vailed with us. In the Sheep market there wee little or
nothing doing, raid the sale for good Wethers 61d. to G;d.
per lb. The same report will apply to our market, with
a little further reduction ; we incline to the belief, that Old.
was the top figure. There were 220 Irish Sheep and Lambs,
forming a part of a lot landed at Ilfracombe; the price for the
best 40 Hogs was 26e. each, while that of b 0 Ewes was 25r.
The Lamb varied from 14.. to 18r. each, according to
weight. Taking the market as a whole, there was a 'mall
lessening of price. From the number of Pigs at market, it is
generally anticipated that this kind of stock will Menses in
supply, and operate to keep down the price of Beef and
Mutton. There was very little doing either in Lamb or
Veal, and the quotations are neatly nominal. Lamb, Old.
to 7d. per lb. ; Calves, 6d. to 60.; keeping Sheep, 275. to
38e. each ; do. Lambe, 16r. to 245. ; Cows and Calves, 91. to
154 ; Barreners, 41. 6d. to ss. per score ; store Pig., '27e. to
60s. eich ; slips, 14s. to 20s. ; socking Pigs, 7s. to 10s.

ROTHERHAM, Oct. 11.—There wu a pretty good show of
Cattle, of only a middling quality. The attendance of buyers
middling numerous, and trade ruled same u last week;
nearly all sold up at last week's quotations. Beef, Gs. to
Gs. 6d. per stone. Mutton, 6d. to 61d. per lb.

- -
SALFORD, Oct. 13.—We were well supplied with StOCi
to-day, but the quality under an average. For good Beef
and Mutton the demand is fair at rate' not quotable below
those of this day week. A fair clearance effected.
SHMIWISBURT FAIR.—The supply of Sheep in this fair
was not moes than one-half those penned last month, and
without that eagerness to purchase usual at this fair. The
quality generally was not so good, though perhaps equal to
what may be expected, owing to the continued dry weather
we have had. The best Wethers made 61d. per lb., and
useful store Sheep sold at fair prices. Pigs were looking up
from the prices which have been obtained of late.
YORK FORTNIGHT FAIR. Oct. I4.—We had a poor supply
of fat Beasts, which sold at from 61. to 6s. 6d. per stone, the
market being well attended with buyers. A good supply of
fat Sheep sold readily, at from fid. to 61d. per lb. A largo
show of holding Ewes and Lambs sold well. A good supply
of lean Beasts sold at advanced prices.
DUBLIN, Oct. 14.—The market to-day was smaller than
heretofore. As usual prime cattle were scarce, and fetched
high prices, while, on the contrary, inferior Beef wee low,
pnces varying from 40s. to 555. per cwt., off. sink. The prices
of Mutton also varied considerably, say from 41d. to 61d. ;
Veal, 6d. per lb. off. sink. We remark quick sales for Pigs,
which are much better finished than could be expected, at
from 48e. to 545. per cwt.

AYR, Oct. 12.—Milk Cows sold at from Si. to 12!. Beef,
Be. 6d. to 9s. 6d. per trop stone. There were 30 score of Sheep
exposed. Black•faced Wethers. 12s. to 20s. , black•faced
Ewes, 15s. ; black-faced Lambs, 9s.

Dust Faits, Oct. 13.—lip to the time we go to press little
has been dour, and no symptom of the market quickening ;
indeed, viewing matters as a whole, there has not been a.
worse market this season. Several splendid lots have passed
through town since our last for the south ; and amongst
others we noticed about 500 head, chiefly Cialloways, be-
longing to Mr. kl'Queen—real beauties, all unmatched by
any we have seen this season. Fair Cheviot Lambs, 105.61.
to Ile. 6d. • crosses, 13s. to 14s. 6d. ; and black-faced, 7s. to
91, 6d. each.

COVENT GARDEN.— ThisMorning.—Vegetables
and fruit continue to be plentiful. Pine-apples are abundant
and fine. Grapes are sufficient for the demand. Peaches
are scarce, and the same may be said of Plums. Pears and
Apples are good and plentiful. °naps, except bitter ones,
are over. Itt eta are sufficient for the demand. Filberts fetch
6d. per pound. Walnuts are plentiful. Lemons are scarce.
Of Vegetables, Broccoli i, sufficient in the demand. Carrots
are good ; and Turnips are better in quality than hitherto.
French Beans arc very scarcer. Potatoes realise rather
better prices. Lettuces and other salading are sufficient for
the demand. Mushrooms fetch good priees. Cut Flowers
consist of Heaths, Pelargoniums, Gardenias, Allemande
cathartica, Fuchsia', Mom, and other Roses.
