already given,
though the British forces have gained advantages
from time to time over the enemy, nothing very im-
portant has been done throughout the war. No such
signal successes have been achieved as are likely t 9
impress the Kaffirs with our vast superiority, or de-
ter them from again resorting to pred-atory in-
cursions. We fear that the time for action has

been wasted in one way or another, till the resources
of the army were nearly exhausted, and that active
hostilities may be forced to a premature dose, leaving
matters little better than at the commencement of the
campaign. In fact, however it may be viewed, the
invasion of Kaffirland has proved a failure, and the
protection of the colony must hereafter be secured by
a strong military force upon the frontier. The 43th
regiment had been pushed on from Graham's Town
to the Fish River, but the demand for additional
regiments has become so urgent, that the 37th regi-
ment, which has just sailed for Ceylon, may
probably be detained at the Cape, till further
reinforcements can arrive from this country.
By the last accounts, Sir Peregrine Maitland
had fallen back to Line Drift, in consequence of
the difficulty experienced in finding provisions for the
troops. Colonel Hare, with his division, had with-
drawn to Fort Beaufort, and it was understood that
Sir A. Stockenstrom had resigned his command, and
returned to his farm, in consequence of some serious
differences with the Governor, the precise nature of
which has not been declared. Several bodies of the
Boers who volunteered for field service, having been
disbanded, had returned home in a very wretched con-
dition, respecting whom a correspondent of the
Gralsam's Town Journal writes :
These men have seen a great deal of service since they left
home, and really appeared very much fatigued, and moat
of them walked on foot, having been obliged to shoot
numbers of their excellent but worn-out horses. Some of
these worthy men are very naked, several being without
jackets. and others walking barefooted, mad others with very
tattered garments. "Is this the way," he continues, "to
treat repectable men, who left homesteads and lucrative
occupations to assist the common cause ? In conjunction
with the Hottentots, they have, under the wise
and energetic guidance of their devoted commandant-
general (Sir A. Stoekenstrom) done important service
to the colony. In less than three dams they cleared the
Amatola and Neua, which, had • • * S e done his duty,
would still have been deer, and the war ended, whereas
that place is as full of Kaffirs as ever, and the work will
have to be done over again. In about three weeks' time
they traversed the country to Kreili's place, and a great part
of this long march was performed on foot in advance of the
waggons. Sleeping out in all kinds of weather, and each
man, from the commandant to the lowest man, carrying his
own rations of meat on his ramrod, and his bread in his ha-
mmock." These men must not be lost sight of. When such
services are performed at such risks and endurance, some
I real return should he made by the colony at large.
This is a trying moment for those who are left on the im-
mediate frontier, compelled once more to act on the defen-
sive, while the main body of the burghers are returning to
their homes, more in the interior of the colony. " The liners'

The following is Captain Hogg's report of his
encounter with the Tambookie Chief Mapassa on the
Windvogelberg :
Eiland's River. Sunday, Aug. 23, 1846.
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you, that, according
to the directions of his Honour Colonel Hare, commanding
the Ist division, I proceeded to the Windrogelberg, and
arrived at the foot of it on the 2d day from Fort Cox, late in
the evening. I rode in the night to Shiloh, sending mes-
sengers from thence to the Tarka, to inform the resident agent
of the intended attack upon Mariana, and also to secure the
co-operation of Captain Seagram. It was proposed that
his force, consisting of as many of the 45th as could
be spared, and a mixture of Fingoes and Kama's Kiffite,
should enter from the Tarka side, with the Boers under' Field
Commandant rectories ; that the Klip Plaat Hottentots,
and a few Fingoes and Boers, should take up their station
on a commanding point in the centre, and wait in observa-
tion ; and that my force should enter by the valley
through which the Riet River runs, passing round the B.E
point of the Windvogelherg, being joined in the morning by
the Boers under Commandant Van Wyk. Captain
Seagram, furnished with guides by Mr. Fynn, marched
straight upon the kraal whore the murders of Mr. Aldum
reaided, killed nine Kaffirs, and destroyed it, taking about
four hundred head of cattle, a. many as he thought it was
possible for him to manage. The next day he proceeded
onwards towards Mapassa'skraal, had a sharp skirmish with
the enemy, killing several without loss on his side, and
putting them to flight. Field-Commandant Pretorius
was present on this accasion, having only joined on the
second day. The Klip Pleat Hottentots and Fingoes sta-
tioned between the two forces, with orders to wait, dis-
obeyed that order and attacked several kraals, killing
some 13 or 14 of the enemy, and taking cattle and horses.
They then seem to have dispersed to plunder in every
direction. The Kaffirs collected in the neighbourhood
came down upon them, and after a sharp fight, in which'
13 of the Shiloh people were killed, they were driven
bark, and nearly all the cattle retaken from them. Se-
veral of the enemy fell also in this affair. This disaster
was entirely occastoned by this party not attending to
the orders given them. My force entering the above-
mentioned valley, took 4,000 head of cattle, killing six
of the enemy, and took up a position for the night on
the Riet River. The next morning drove to Shiloh—
the Boers under Commandant Van Wyk on our right flank.
We accomplished this operation with scarcely any resistaacts
on the part of the enemy. At one point of the line of
march they mustered on a stony ridge, about 80 horsemen,
and about 150 on foot ; but not more than 30 of the Swel-
lendam infantry, acting as Hankers under Lieutenant Hun-
ter, drove them from it in the most gallant manner, puns
sued them over a flat to a still stronger position, which
they attempted to occupy, and drove them from it in
like manner, killing and wounding several. We arrived at
Shiloh on the sth day from Fort Cox. The next day I
marched and joined Captain Seagram; we united, and re-
turned together to Shiloh. I have selected from 400 to 500
of the best oxen for the use of the Ist division, and brought
them down to this place. The rest have been distributed,
being nearly all cows, to the Boers, Harmanus's and
Kama's Ksffirs, &c. Captain Sutton will allow them
to remain till an escort is sent for them from Fort
('ox, which I trust will be done immediately as there
is no grass. Giving the escort, consisting of 500 men,
a day's rest here, I shall proceed back to Shiloh, anti
resume operation. against Mapassa. I sent Mr. Alyff to
communicate with timtikaka, and to find out what part he
intends to take in the contest. From this gentleman I have
received the greatest assistance. The force is somewhat
fatigued with the hard work of collecting and driving
cattle, the former not a very easy affair in an open country
for infantry. His honour having kindly given me so many
men, I can hardly ask for more ; but this country is full of
horses, which the footmen are unable to take, and a few
cavalry would be of the greatest assistance. We are also in
want of flint ammunition. There is a gun at the Tarka,
which, should horses be sent up for it, would, in this open,
easy country. he very effective. All the Gaika cattle are on
the Bulota, we hear, and Sir Andreas Stockenstrom's wag-
gons are under the Windvogelberst. Many of the cattle
taken are recognised as having been in the waggons at Burn's
Hill, and numbers as colonial.
I forgot to mention that Van Wyk's Boers bad a very hard
fight on our right Honk—l believe with the Kaflirs repulsed
by Lieut. Hunter—and killed about thirty of them, but were
obliged to relinquish some of their horses, which wereknocked
up. There is forage at the Tarka, but very little flint am-
munition. The Boer's horses arc too poor for them, to be
able to exert themselves much. Sir Andrea Stoekenstrom's
people, who are with the waggons, sent to Shiloh for slaugh-
ter oxen, as none were there procurable, I sent them thirty.
I have procured also about fifty pack oxen for the use of the
troops, which will be of great service in carrying provisions,
fie., and I hope to send his honour a good account of
Mapassa and his cattle. llopieg that he will approve
of what has been don., and that he will be satisfied with
the exertions of all the troops employed, which have
been great,
I have the honour to be Sir, your obedient servant,
W. S. HOOO, Capt. 7th Dragoon Guards.
The prevalence of strong south-easterly winds ap-
pears to have endangered the shipping in Waterloo
Bay, where a deprit had been formed for supplying
the army with provisions. The escape of her
Majesty's ship Apollo is thus noticed in a letter from
Port Elizabeth, dated the 3rd September :
Iler Majesty's ship Apollo called here on her way to Wa-
terloo Bay, with the 73rd Regiment on board, and also the
Naval Superintendent of that place, Lieut. Forsyth. On
Thursday evening, the 28th, standing in shore, towards the
Kowie River, it fell calm, when finding the swell set-
ting her too near the shore, she was obliged to anchor.
At three, a.m., on the following morning, got a strong
breeze from the south-west. The messenger was carried
away in weighing the anchor. On its being hove up,
found both flukes gone. On the 30th, she anchored in
Waterloo Bay, in 10 fathoms, with a strong wind.
Mr. Salmond immediately came on board, and hopes
were entertained of being able to land the troops. The
surf, however, increased so much that this was found im-
practicable; it also blew very strong throughout the day.
On Sunday, the 31st, the wind shifted to E. by S., and as the
rollers gradually increased, the commander of the Apollo
determined to proceed to sea. At 10, a.m., Lieut. Forsyth
was sent to the Waterloo, thers to await a more favourable
opportunity of landing, but on his getting alongside of this
vessel, he was told that they expected every moment to part
their cable. Capt. Brown, of the Catherine, who happened am
cidentally to be alongside of the Waterloo, very k'iidly offered
to receive him on board hie vessel,which wooly ing furtheront,
mid therefore less exposed to the influence of the rollers. On
his way to the Catherine, Captain Brown strongly advised
the commander of the Apollo to get under weigh. About
noon she crowd top-gallant agd royal-yards, and iMilbe-

_

diatelafterwards it was noticed that she had parted her
beetbower cable; the two remaining anchors were then
let go, but the ship had considerably neared the breakers
off the east point of Fish River, ere the two anchors held ;
there now appeared to be great hazard for her to at-
tempt leaving the bay, being doubtful of clearing
the breakers in casting, when Captain Brown, observing
the perilous situation of the ship, and judging, from the
appearance of the rollers, that in • few hours the must
inevitably part from her anchors, and go on the rocky shore,
where there seemed little chance of saving life, immediately
manned his boat and went on board ; he found that the
Apollo was in the act of sending down top-gaamit-Yards.
but he advised them to be kept aloft. Captain Brown
volunteered at some risk to run a line from the schooner
Norfolk, with his own boat, to the Apollo, to haul a hawser
on board of that vessel, so as to insure the frigate casting
with her bend off shore. The commander and master of
the Apollo approved of this suggestion, which Captain
Brown immediately =Tied into effect, Captain Watts, of
the Norfolk, giving every assistance. During this time the
Apollo set all sail, and hove up one of her anchors, then
tin.dng there was a certainty, with the assistance of her
sails and hawser, that she would clear the reef, she
slipped from the other anchor, and got safe out. Her escape
may be said to be almost miraculous, for very soon after she
lett the sea broke most fearfully outside the place where she
had been lying. All the vessels were fortunate in getting
out, the Catherine and the Norfolk being the last that re-
mained, they being engaged in rendering the assistance, as
described, to the Apollo. Towards four p.m. the wind
increased to a strong gale, with a high sea, so that those two
vessels were also obliged to slip. The frigate has, no doubt,
proceeded to Simon's Bay, having only one anchor left.—l

JOHN BRIGHT, ESQ., FOR MANCHESTER.

MANCHESTER, Nov. 19.
A meeting of the liberal electors was held last night, in
the Free Trade Hall, to ratify the nomination made by the
Reform Association of Mr. Bright, as a candidate for the
representation of Manchester, and to hear from him an ex-
position of his sentiments.. There was a eery large and
enthusiastic meeting. George Wilson, Esq., was called to

the chair.
Mr. ABSALOM WATILIN moved, that this meeting of the
liberal electors of the borough of Manchester gratefully
acknowledges the distinguished services of John Bright,
Esq., M.P., in the recent struggle for commercial freedom:
and entertaining a high sense of his talents and public con
duct, resolves that he is peculiarly qualified to represent this
borough in parliament, and pledges itself to take all requisite
steps for securing his return.
Mr. Alderman Beau seconded the motion, which was

carried by acclamation.
The CHAIRMAN then moved that the proposer and lie-
condor of till resolution should be requested to wait upon
Mr. Bright, who was in the ante-room, and introduce him
to the meeting. The motion having been adopted and acted
upon, these gentlemen retired, and in a few minutes after-
wards returned, accompanied by Mr. Bright, who was re-
ceived with deafening bursts of applause. The Chairman
baying presented to him formally the resolution which had
been adopted,
My. BRIGHT came forward amidst renewed plaudits. He
mud, he should not be accused of exaggerating, if he stated
that he was deeply affected by the proceedings of this even-
ing. All his past experience as a speaker in that hall seemed
at that moment to avail him little. He was suffering from
a sense of the too great kindness of a veq large number of
those with whom he had been accustomed to act, on public
questions ; and was suffering, also, somewhat from an im-
paired state of health. Ile should, therefore, have to claim
a large allowance of indulgence ant forbearance from that
meeting. (Applause.) He regretted, in common with them
all, the retirement of Mr. Mark Philips. The Reform
Association had honoured him by requesting him to
offer himself to become the successor of that gentleman,
and the chairman, since he had entered the hall, had in-
formed him that they had confirmed the nomination of the
association, He hail sent a reply to that association, which
the meeting had no doubt seen ; and here he was prepared to
give a similar answer. He was not insensible of the onerous
nature of the office their kindness induced him to aspire to.
He felt as deeply as any man could do, what were the heavy
and solemn responsibilities of the office of a representative Of
any constituency, and still more so, of a large and influential
constituency, such as that which he had then the honour to
address. The subject of popular representation was one
upon which he had long and deeply reflected. It had
appeared to hint that prosperity did, and must always depend
to a great extent, on the intelligence, and purity, and honesty
of government. He did not agree with some po-t, who bad
I said:—
" Dow few of all the ills that men endure,
Are those which kings, or laws, can make or cure!"
He believed if there was corruption, dishonesty, and wicked-
ness, among them in high places, and those who ruleda
country, it was absolutely impossible that the prosperi d
that country could, for any lung period, be preserved. (Hear
and applause.) Our government was what the constituency
of the empire made it : we had something at any rate which
approached to a popular representation, and he need not tell
them that a popular representation might be an instrument
of supreme good to a nation, or it might be an instrument of
the most intolerable tyranny—an instrument of supreme
good, if wielded by en honest intelligent people,
an instrument of tyranny if wielded by electors
depraved and corruptsi. (Cheers.) The qualifications ne-
misery for the representative of any constituency appeared
to him to be capable of expression in a few words. He
thought such a man should be honest, independent, and
zealous, and that he should have a competent knowledge on
public questions. He was not there to boast; he believed
he did not think himself better than other men ; and he was
sure there were many other men who had just as much and
as good a claim to stand on that platform as himself. " No,
no,") With respect to any qualifications he might have, he
had only to refer to his past conduct, and allow them to
form their own conclusion. He believed if he had enemies,
they had been crested, rather by an excess of zeal on his
part, than by the want of it ; and probably because
he had on some occasions, perhaps out of season,
spoken an opinion which it might have been more
politic to have concealed. He would, with their leave, refer
to some of those questions in which he had taken a part.
Three years ago, partly by an accident and portly by strong
opinions created in the city of Durham in favour of free
trade, he became& member of the House of Commons. Many
importantquentions had been discussed and voted upon since,
and on no occasion was he sensible that lie had voted con-
trary or in opposition to his honestly-formed convictions.
(Applause.) Every proposition in favour of free trade, as
was to be supposed, had had his earnest and cordial support.
Every proposition which appeared to him to hold out any
rational prospect whatever of extending the basis of our
popular representation had always found in him a supporter
in parliament. (Applause.) He had taken some pains to
bring before the public what he enncidere I a most
grievous and intolerable abuse connected with the system
of preserving game. (Loud cheers.) During nearly
the whole of the session of 1845, and some weeks of 184 d,
he had been engaged on a select committee inquiring into
the effects, and he was hold to say, that no honest or unpre-
, judiced man could read even a small portion of that evidence
without coming to the conclusion that there required (some
might say a very great alteration), he would say a legislative
interference in the system of preserving wild animals in this
country. (Applause). There had been but one occasion
when his opinions on the subject of religious endoa molts
could be tested, and that was, an occasion more than any
other that he could name, trying to a person holding the
political opinions which he did. Ile was tempted by con-
siderations of political convenience to vote for the klaynooth
Grant; he was tempted by his strong sympathy with an in-
sulted and injured nation. (Loud applause). He woe
tempted by the request of some most excellent men in the
constituency which represented but neither then
nor at any future time, should anything on earth
ever induce him to give a vote that could give
strength and permanency to a system, he believed to be
injurious to national liberty. (Applause.) There was
another question which deeply interested some portion of the
population of this district on which he had given more than
one vote, the question of legislative interference with the
hours of labour in factories. Now, there were, he doul,ted
not, in that meeting, many men who disagreed with him,
upon that important question ; but if he NriS returned as the
representative of this constituency, unless he raw dream-
-1 stances, which he had not yet seen, to alter his opinion, and
which he could scarcely hope to see, he could give to those
individuals no hope whatever that he should sanefon any
interference with the labour of the adult papulation of this
coontry by the law. (Expressions of disapprobation,
followed by counter-cheering.) Now, he eonfesoed,
although he was by some deemed courageous or rash, in the
political changes which he advocated, that he had not the
courage to advocate such a measure. He was persuaded as
he was of his own existence of the evils of the change which
was advocated by those whom he opposer], and it was only °
because he was so convinced, that he set himself in opposition
to many brevolent persons whose intentions he greatly es-
teemed, but whose measures he felt were calculated, and
I would tend to inflict injury upon the very classes they were I
dispooe Ito benefit. (Applause.) On all the questions he
had alluded to, he believed he had no interest whatever
which wasnot connected with the great math of the people.
It was accident only that drew him first from private life ;
he had no personal object to serve in Parliament. lie
believed there was no office, no title, no honour,
which government could offer him, that could in
any way influence the vote which he should give,
or the decision he might come to upon any ques-
firm. (Applause). In all these questions on which he
had spoken, he coul4 declare his honest sincerity, that the
decisions to which he had come, be they right or wrong, had
been made with an earnest desire to do what was right. He
came next to a question which had not as yet been before
parliament, but which was exciting considerable interest—
he alluded to the question of national education. Every
one was in favour of national education, meaning the educa-
tion of the nation ; but they were not all in favour of this
education being conducted by government, by act of parlia-
ment, or by municipal authorities, or by env other invo-
luntary effort. He must confess that his :leanings—mod
it might seem an Irishism to nay so—inclined him both
ways at once. Hie leanings would at first sight drew
him towards any rystem which would seem to offer the

chance of educating ilhabi, bat his busies in favour of
the voluntary Prinalli hears kW te it would be
better that the Imelda Arabi (Loud
applause.) Until sOw he us piaa la nab-
mined by any yienffila who hadepoken urea this question
which had obtained soy large 111111111 M a support. h
appeared to him is be a mamma thatreharamer, that no
two men could be 'mind who speed ups* the details or even
upon the principle. The plans of Dr. awake and others,
though there was much plausibility ,abolt them, did
not appear to combine the elements of • sodium Arun-
ciently, even if the government had attempted to
carry them into effect. Theta was a greed mistake
which some friends of national education dad made. They
assumed that the volmatary effort was not sufficient to pro-
vide the number of schools which would be required for the
annual increase of the population'; and they said, as had
been often said in that hall, at the au trade meetiega, the
population increases at the rate of 1,000 a day, or 3136,000
a year, and they said, how could any voluntary effort raise
schools for so many ? Now tale was a mistake ; the in-
crease of births was only 10,000 a year ; and entwining each
child would require three years ki , complete its education,
which would probably be the average, the increase of schools
required to meet it would be milysach as to include about
30,000 children. He believed that the vole/leery effort
was sufficient -to fogad wheals
,Officient for that num-
ber. The very cry fee nati • spducation wis a proof to
net
him that, however much ed might be required, go-
vernment aid was less now then at any former
period in the lifetime of the t generation—He thought
there could not be a doubt at the present.moment, the
means of education have grows more, comparqd with the
whole population, that any former period. (Hear, hear,)
That the people were tter educated thei&Xe—that the
voluntary principle tremlia4igilLu kids of the
people than bac. f anithe
mely cantail -before we adopted the literffe• 1111
what voluntary effort can effect woul be much
better in the hands of government. (Hear, hear.) He
believed that the indomitable spirit which made us so
superior in commerce and manufactures to continental
nations, was the result of relying upon individual effort,
instead of government aid ; and he dreaded not only the diffi-
culty of rendering efficient government aid, but the effect
which such aid might have in paralysin voluntary efforts.
One of the public questions now under' discussion in the
newspapers, was the marriage of one of the sons of Louis
Philippe to the Infin.e of Spain. There we.: not FO much
harm to be apprehended from this match, as there was from
the bitter feelings which these discussions tended to'foment.
That hell was dedicated to free-trade and peace. They believed
that whilst they were battling here and elsewhere against
monopoly, they were • also battling against ships of
war. (Hear, hear.) But if there was a talk of war it was a
sympton that free-trade was making but slow prosiest,. His
own opinion was, that Louis Philippe, having a large family,
had not been tempted so much sews. suppos d by the hopes
of a crown as of the handsome fortune of the Infanta. (Hear,
bear.) He believed that if Louis Philippe really enter-
tained the insane project of uniting the two crowns at some
distant day, there was a greater obstacle in the characters of
the two people, even than in the Pyrenees, which formed
the geographical boundary of the two countries. (Applause.)
He deprecated the war-cry of the papers, too, because of the
pleas these cries were continually giving the government for
asking increased taxes. The public mind was now occupied
with another question—that of Inland. He was not dis-
pose to lay all the blame to the government of its pre-
sent condition, though he believed it had been governed
like most conquered countries, with a great ignorance of its
inhabitants and a great disregard of all the laws which should
guide the rulers of every oourtry. In his opinion, much of
the evil 'rose from the prevailing antagonism existing for a
century past between the religious parties of that country ;
and he was convinced that one of two thingemust be done,—
either that the Protestant establishment, so called, in that
country, must be given up—(Loud cheers.)—or that, by some
mode of public contribution, the ministry of the Catholic
church must be placed on an equality with it. (Applause.)
He did not say which would be most acceptable to him ; but
that which should abolish the Protestant church in
Ireland, so far as it was a political organization,
was the one he should recommend—(Hear, hear)—
He was for giving to Ireland, too, a system of electoral re-
gistration which should be as perfect and liberal, at least, es
that which we possessed. And he would give it such a
, 1 description of franchise as should place it en a par with this
; country. (Cheers.) Mr. Bright concluded by acknow-
ledging his deep obligation to the kindness of those friends,
' by whose invitatii n and active co-operation this meeting
had been brought about ; and eat down amidst loud cheers.
A resolution was subsequently moved by Mr. Woodley,
and seconded by Mr. Shuttleworth, appointing an election
committee. The list, which contained 340 names, was read
and carried with applause.—The meeting then separated.

PRODUCE.

MINCING-LANE, Half past Two.—The market has
worn a dull appearance to-dsy. Sugar continues in limited
demand, and nothing but good working and grocery descrip-
tions are saleable, and these only bought as the immediate
wants of the trade dictate, the public sale of I,3oobags Bengal
went off heavily; a portion bought in. Refined very dull;
standard quality must now be quoted 645.
Coffee.—The public sates of Plantation to-day did not
alter general quotations, but there was no spirit evinced on
the part of the buyers.
Rice.-34FZE whito Bengal were offered; buyers did
mistwooss to rice., sad they were bought
in at 17s: .to 1
Saltpetre.-300 bags refraction, 0 and 10, sold at 250. to
2.56. 6d. ; one lot 26a., which were about previous rates.
Nuirnega.—Penang sold steadily at 2s. lid to 3s.
Callum—The speculstion in this article appears to have
come to a pause, but holders have confidence, and prices
cannot be quoted lower from the small transactions.
Tea.—This article has decidedly taken a turn, and the
prices of common Congou have advanced fully id. per lb.
within the last week. Speculative purchases, both here and
in Liverpool, to a considerable extent, has been made, 91d. to
10d. per lb.

CORN.
BASINGSTOKE, Nov. 18.-Wheat was considerably
in demand at last week's quotation. The picked beat white
made 665. per quarter; some fine dry grinding, red, 131. per
load; worse qualities at from 141. to 141. 10s. There ap-
peared more animation than on last market day. Best
malting Barley was sought after at from 455. to 48s. per
quarter; good grinding, at front 355. to 405., much being
sold at those prices. Oats, hest fine, Potato or Poland, were
making from 26e. to 30s. per quartet ; black, English or
foreign, front 225. to 255. Beans and Peas about the same
as last week ; very few at market. Malt sold at from Bs. Gd.
to 95. per bushel. Flour from 48s. per Pack. Barley Meal,
20s. to 21s. per sack.
I)EDDINGTON, Nov. 17.-Trade firm at last week's
prices. Wheat, 525. to 58s. New Beans, 38s. to 425. ; old
40s. to 465. Boiling Peas, 4125. to 565. ; hoe, 36.. to 425.
Barley, 335. to 425. Old Oats, 265. to 325. ; new, 225. to 28s.
Vetches, 365. to 445. per quarter.
HAYWARD'S 'HEATH, Nov. 18.-We have to report
again a very full attendance, also a considerable quantity of
Wheat pitched, of which nearly the whole was readily
bought up ; the greater proportion being of a good quality
and in excellent coadition. We also noticed samples through-
out the market, very many of which changed hands, at the
following quotations: New white Wheat, 15/. 10s.
per load ; old ditto, 14/.los. to 151. ; new brown ditto, 14/.
to 151. ; old ditto, 13/. 103. to IV. New Oats, 245. to 265.
per quarter; old ditto, 265. to 28s. Peas, 455. to 465.
Beans, 445. to 4Gs.
NEWCASTLE, Nov. 17.-The weather continues
highly propitious for seeding operations, which causes our
farmers to supply our market sparingly with grain for the
present. At our market this morning we had a moderate
show of Wheat from the country, and the recent pressure of
supplies from the coast being removed by the granary having
been resorted to, the trade opened with more firmness and a
fair extent of business was done at rather over the rates of
this day se'nnight. in foreign the transactions were more
free than of late, good useful Beattie being saleable at
61s. fxl. to 625. per quarter, 631bs. per bushel, and other sorts
in proportion. Flour was held rather more firmly, but what
sales took place yesterday were at slightly reduced rates.
We call choice households, 465. ; and whites up to 48s. per
sack respectively. Rye is much wanted, and anything extra
would command 48s. without difficulty. Malting Barley
without change ; grinding qualities very scarce and much
sought after. In Beans or Peas little pasting. Oats in good
demand and rather dearer.
BELFAST, Nov. 16.-We have moderate supplies
since Friday, and prices remain as then noted. The weather
continues favourable, and our farmers are generally engaged
in the fields planting Wheat, of which a fair breadth will be
sown. Wheat, 111. fill. to 125.101. Barley, Bs. to 9s. 6d. Oats,
Bs. 6d. to 9s. 9d ; Oatmeal, 16s. 6d. to 18s. per cwt. We have
two arrivals of Indian Corn from America since Saturday, to
the extent of about 600 tons. The price of Corn and Meal
remains unchanged, 131. 15s. to 141. for the former, and
141.155. per ton for the latter.
DUBLIN. Nov. 17.-The continuance of favourable
weather has caused farmers to be so fully occupied with
field labour, that our supplies have become less liberal. On
this day's market Wheat fully sustained the rates of Friday,
whilst the heavier descriptions of Oats and Barley, for &s-
-tilling purpoees, are 6d. per barrel highrr. The stocks of
Flour are, however, very large, and this article, as also Oat.
meal, is a heavy sale. The following was the general cur-
rency to the farmers : Wheat, red, 325. to 360.6 d.; white, 365.
to 38s, per 230 lbs. ; Oat!, 16x, to 19s Gd. per 1,96 lbs. ; Bar-

WORCESTER, Nov. 17.—The declaration of 010
Hop duty last week seems to have had a different effect on
the market to-day from what was expected; for, not only is
it firm, but prices of the best samples are absolutely. a little
higher than last Saturday, and all sorts scarce and in good
demand; and from the general tone of the market, there is
every vospect of better prices being obtained next week.
There was not a single toed of Hops brought to market to-
day, and the few weighed were most cf them thosi left
unsold last market day.
ANDOVER, NOV.lB.—There were net arum p?c:her

sample. Mi. Wise, Weyhiff, Mr. Thompson, Mr. Drover,
Mr. Oliff, and other* in Andover, had considerable stores
placed in their warehouses from Weybill fair for this to-day,
which Mr. Evans, and other hop merchants or factors, from
London, were commissioned to dispose of. Some few growers
attended to the sales themselves, and among those were the
