THE PRINCE OF WALES AT PORTLAND•

The New York papers are filled with profuae
descriptions of the doings in lionotur of the Prince
of Wale during the last few days of his stay in the
litotes, comprising " Torchlight Processions,"
•• Grand Parades of riremsn, " Grind Military
Pageants," etc. We have only room foe the

It is dant useless, bower, to attempt to give an idea
of the beauty of dries or permed gathered. It was of all
styles, arrayed in an 111•13 Der of elegant ways, and
was catenated to dem* aim= the stranger with a
rose-coloured idea of the Portand ladies. One of the prin-
cipal officers, a dashiog young lieutenant, made the remark
that he had seen more red, genuine, undiluted loveliness
in the space of half an acre, and during half an hour, than
he had looked upon since he left the Old Country. He
really thought American ladies were remarkably "am-
some." A few minutes after the be was up to his elbows
in compliments, melting away under the delicious fascina-
tions ofaterrestrial angel in blue—• process he went through
no lees than a dozen times in the course of the evening.
The ladies, one and all, did themselves an infinite amount
of credit, the elderly ones leaving the field to the young
wined, and the young ones by the very effective way in
which they kept the red and lAtie costa under a running
ere d that harmless flirtations. Both were probably aware
they were tilting against adamantine walla. As the evening
and the ice became fairly broken, the pleasure
ricsire4 insured. Eighth formality and restraint gave way
before the winsome manners of the young and the
ball rolled on to the accompaniment of plenum! conver-
sance, coquettish hallucinations, good memo, plenty of room
to Amos in, plenty of handsome partners, and every other
adjunct calculated to make one in such a place contented
with himself and neighbour.
The company, old and yam& did not begin to fall away
until nearly three o'clock, when most of the alone were
required to be on board their ships. Even then the ball
was kept up vigorously, and it wan not until nearly five
o'clock that the last step was taken and the last note of
" Home, Sweet Home," reminded the gay throng of the
teaneineiesse of mundane thing generally, and of balls is
particular.
Too muc h credit cannot be awarded to the gentlemen who
bad the affair in charge, for the successful manner in which
they have performed their duties ; and it must be an emi.
suit satisfaction to them, after reeding the amounts of
similar fins elsewhere, to look over the scene of display
and redact that it hr net been a scene of fashionable woe
—that there were no bushel baskets of feminine fragments
to be gathered up, no broken floor to repair, no lameeta-
tine or lases to be responsible for, no sore rib tote
soothed, no crushed eons to rise up like agonized Beeman,
and nobody to blame, bet on the contrary that ear berg
went anal full of supper and sainefisction, happy physically
and morally bearing with them reminiscences of the event
unalloyed by a single pain. Under such circumstances,
Portland may well be proud in the thought that if she could
not secure the Prince in person, she has et least manifested
towards his representatives a noonsful hospitality, which
some of those who hare attempted to do more have not
equalled.

COMPVLRORT VACCINATION.—III Monday, at the
Darlington Police-court, Mr. Georp 8. Gibbs, accountant,
sad a member of the /Society of F./Ueda, was charged by
Mr. liodpue. the superintendent registrar of the &raki,
with neglecting to have his child vaccinated. The
was laid under the 16th and 17th Viet., cap. 100, and
penalty for the offence is DX It appeared that the child in
gaieties' was born ass the 29ed July last, sod the birth was
duly registered on the August, on which day the mils
Nu. of births and deaths (Yr. Wilkinson) gave to Mr.
Gibbv a notice, according to the form given in the Act al
Parliament, to have the child vaccinated within three
mouths. This not having bees complied with' • summons
was lead for the recovery of the penalty. Mr. Gibbs ob-
jected that the notice given to him was not "in writing,"
se required by the act, but was merely • ted form,
filled up in writing. This the batch overruled. Mr. Gibbs
next objected that the nodet glee. to •him ought to have
been accompanied by • sedge skiing the Wile, place, de.
where the publie verminster would Mend, and quoted the
9th section of the eat to support of his objection. Mr.
Hodgson said he understood friar the registrar that Mr.
Gibbs was quite aware of the appointment al • public
vaccinator. The Bench decided that the oMimUon wee a
valid one, and dismissed the ease. Mr. Gibbs is a deter-
mined opponent to mocinatica.

Thomas Dale, • notorious housebreaker and thief, who
bee recently returned after four years' penal servitude, was
=with being ormocrned with another, not in custody,
pang*, break into the premises of a boot and shoe
maker, named Hawm, at Elthamplace, Hent.street.
Cherie, Chesney, 41M, said that about twelve o'olociftbs
previous night he received information that the proaccutmos
premises had been broken open by wine thieves. and from
• descnption he received he went in search of them, and
discovered the prisoner in a lodginglouse in the neigh-
bourhood.

Peter Combo, • labourer, living in Rnmell-place, Dover-
raid, said that • little before twelve o'clock on Wednesday
night he was going boom, when he heard something like
a shutter fall, aid • breaking of glass close by. He
looked across towards the ;mentor's shop, and saw taro
men run away from the and he then discovered a
shutter forced, and • square glean broken. Coe of the
men ran sway from him, and the prisoner, who was the
other, came past Wm, and he distinctly saw hie features.
Al soma as the acosiable same up witness gave the infor-
mation.

Elizabeth Hawes, the wife of the prosecutor, said she
closed the shutters st ten o'clook, and went to bed. At
12 o'clock she was roused op, when she found the micldle
shutter bad been slipped out, and a large square of glass
broken.

idr.lnreham asked how the shutters were fastened

She replied that they were secure/by :i;:i;;Tscrews,.
which fastened inside. The middle shutter weir, however,
a little loose ; but she did Dot think it could have beam re-
moved in the manner found on her getting up.
Chesney, the officer, in answer to the magistrate, mid it
could easily be slipped over the other shutter, or down on
the pavement.
Mr. Burch= discharged the prisoner, telling him that it
was lucky for him the evidence was not sufficient against
him. Re bad, however, better be careful, as the police
would watch him narrowly

Mohawmed Al: Khan wan charged with threatening to
cut his throat. The prisoner is the East Indian who some
time ago, it may be remembered, attempted to cat his
throat in the House of Lords, for which he underwent a
month's imprisonment. It impure that be fancies himself
aggrieved by the English government. After his imprison-
ment Lieut.-Colonel Hughes admitted him to the Strangers'
Home, where he has been treated with great kindness and
consideration, but as be again threatened to kill himself
Lieut.-Colonel Hughes applied for a warrant against him.
On his being pieced at the bar the prisoner looked
anxiously around, and took from a cotton handkerchief
several papers relating to his claims on the government of
his native province.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes mid it was with peat re-
luctance he appeared as the prosecutor of the unfortunate
stranger. His only desire was to do him good, to
him, and to send him back to India. The prisoner=
interpreter, but he would willingly provide him with one if
the magistrate considered it necessary.
Mr. Yardley—Stop, sir; I must Bast ascertain if I have any
jurisdiction in this case. The magutnte, after reading the
warrant, said—This mania charged with threatening to cut
his own throat.

Hugbea—Yea air, and he has dos* it
once in the Rome of Lords.
Mr. Yardley—l have no power to detain a man foe
threatening to cut his own throat or to make away with
himself.

Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes mid Mohammed Ali Khan
went to the India-ofilee on Tuesday, and was there three
hours, and scattered his petitions and papers about, sad he
was at last ejected. The prisoner Lad broken his prods%
inasmuch as he declared be would not go to the
again.
Mr. Yardley—That may be, but bow am I to order bim
to find securities` I hare no authority to send him back to
India.

Lieutonslit-Colonel Hughes said he had full authority to
lay out money for the benefit of tho prisoner, who by the
tenets of his religion thought suicide was a meritorious act.
Mr. Yardley—Have I Dower to restrain • man who
threatens to cut his own throat? This isnot an ordinary OM
of a person charged with committing • breach of the pesos
whereby some other person or persons go in bodily fair,
but a warrant charging Mohammed Ali Klan with threat-
ening to cut his own throat, whereby it is apprehended
by one Robert Marsh Hughes that some bodily harm will
be done by the said ddendant. I know of no precedent
in existaoce for such a warrant as this. The bodily harm
means to himself.

Lieutenant-Colonel Hugbei—l am afraid every day he
will lay violent hand' on himself.
Mr. Yardley said this was a very simple matter indeed.
The man either had or bad not committed an offence aping
the laws of England. All that Lieuteoant-Colonel Hughes
had said might go far to prove a charr of insanity. If the
man wee insane, he was not responablo for his acts, and
most be put under restraint.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hughni—lle made an attempt on his
life in the House of Lords.

Mr. Yardley said that self-murder was • felony, and an
attempt to oonunit self-murder wee • misdemeanor. The
prisoner could be punubed if ho attempted suicide, if he
was in full possasetoe of his faculties.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes said his sole object was to do
good and save the man.
Mr. Yardley—l fully appreciate your excellent motives,
Colonel Hughes, but we must do end act according to law.
Lieutenant-Colonel Hughes—lt Wright I should state that
he has no claim, legal or equitable, on the Indian govern-
ment or upon any one here. Hs can do no good by stop-
ping in England. I will provide him with food, and do
Mat is necessary for him.
Mr. Yardley, after consulting several authorities, said he
could not commit the prisoner ?or an indefinite term, or for
any period, for merely saying he would out his throat. The
charge was one he could not entertain ; the prisoner bad
committed no offence of which be (the magistrate) could
take cognisance. He bad no right to detain the prisoner •
vacant under the warrant, and he must be discharged.

AGOIDIVIT IN TIM HUNTING Fran.—We meet
to record a rather serious accident which mauled with Mr.

Brimming, Nov. 1.-During the past month,
although we hen repeatedly had heavy min, leas has fallen
than in sap menilb lace April, and the pain harvest may
be mid to be eampleted with tbs seseptem of beans, and
meek of this map bas been in the fields still later in former
jean. Poirdess, so far as we can have
ease yam %SW few weeks. It is remarkable, as regards
the disease ~ has now affected this plant for so merry
yeses, that the meet virulent &Mask was after the very dry
warm maws al 1846. The weather, this yes, has been
colder, awl the meets later, with moilrain than any sine* •
I while the palelts dime has proved more destructive their
in any intervening period • thus affording presumptive evi-
dence that the wafter his little to do with the recurrence
of this mysterious eleiletion. The importations of
wheat into Great Main oontinue at the rate
of over two-thirds if our estimate of the
whole consumption of this pain. By the Board of Trade
returns for the month of September, the imports of wheat
and dour amount to 1,191,343 qrs., or at the rate of 14
million qrs. per annum. These do not seem likely to lessen
before January or February next, if then, notwithstanding
the high rate of freight and insuranto. The advance . '
demand
price in the month has slum been lout, the principal
being for the American qualitiatwhieh have colour,
condition, and strength, and are preferred for mining with
damp, weak, and colourless new, to the stronger wheat
from the Black and Acuff of this latter description
there has been for some time considerable accumulation
of cargoes on the coast, waiting buyers at declining
°prose.
The quantity of new wheat brought to market Is still
triflin , ariong from the condition being so bad as to render
undeeirable, and the farmers requiring all available
time when the weather permitted forwheat-sowing. Strange
as it may appear, we hear few complaints of the yield ; but
not many of the late wheats, which must have suffered
must from having blossomed during the rainy weather, have
yet been brought to market. Be the condition what it may
we think, however, that we must have a large farmers' sup-
ply during the next two or three months. Considerable
has been made in wheat-sowing, under rattier un-
CgourTble circumstances ; but the experience of former
years shows that If dry enough to sow at all, however wet
the weather may be at the time, it is of little oousequenee •
some of our best crops have been grown when the
ground
was very wet at the time the wheat was planted. Cw7s
expected that the French duties on export in the Arrondis-
sement in which the principal shipping ports are
situated, would have advanced on the 7th instant,
but it is now stated that they will remain at the
lowest point as heretofore. A large number number of French
Tenets are on the way to Greet Britain with wheat, barley,
and beans, some of which have been a long time at sea.
Our present prices are-English red, 7s. 6d. to Ba. ; white,
Bs. to Bs. 10d. • new rides. to 7s. Bd. ; white, 7s. to Si. 6d..
Ghirks, 7s. 2d. to 7s. 6d. ; Polish Odessa, 7s. 3d. to 7s. Bd. ;
I Preach, 7s. 6d. to fie. ; .tmerican red, 7s. 6d. to 2d. •
Da Bs. 3d. to Bs. 9d., all per 621b5., at Birmingham'.
Barley, of all kinds, has advanced during the month about
haying quarter ; but there is leis demand, the high price
evidently lessened the consumption, as well as
ea more new to be Gimbal. But little of the
English is and to malt, consequently a large portion of
our great amp will be applied to feeding purposes, for
which the condition is not of so mach importance. Owing
to the high freights, our imports of this grain are small com-
pared with wheat, and less than last year. Taganrog sells
at 36e. ; Odom, 365. ; Danube, 32e. to 345. ; reach, Xs.
to 381., all per 39211 x., at Birmingham. Notwithstanding
their fine migity, new oat% have receded during the month
2s. par qr., and sell slowly at the decline ; they are now re-
latively cheaper than any other kind of corn. Our arrivals
of grey from Ireland have been large, of black inconsider-
able, sad of white very small. Old oats have main-
tained their value, but are less in request. This crop
proves large, much more so even than was ex-
Taedand the quality fuser thee for may years.
lintch are selling at 30s. ; old Irish grey, 2-Bs. • row,
24a to 255. ; black, ifs. ; all per 312 lbs., at Gloucester
Beans have advanced about 4s. per qr., as although the
English crop is considered good qoantity, the
greater part is still in the fields, anicrol= of all deserip-
tions have become scares. Some quantity of new are on the
way from Prance, and large shipment' are in progress. The
quantity of Egyptian on parsge is likewise sourridereble.
Old English are worth ZL. to 225. ; tigstianiata6gdha. to
17s. 6d. ; French, lfe. to 19a., all pm. 1 at
Peas have improved in value nearly as much as beam, very
few new English having apple oda tmarket, and those
meetly of very inferior quality. Ouradian are worth 17s. 6d.
to 18s. 3d. per 1961 b. ; Baltic, 17a. 3d. to 181. at Gloucester.

lation and export. The week's import is 1,796 We&

WOOL AND WORSTED.—Bittormin, Nov. I.—There
is no noticeable feature in any department of our trade
to-day. Things remain much the same as before, with
perhaps
• trilling improvement. Al regards wool, it may
that there are a few more inquiries and a little
more confidence, but only a limited business is still doing.
If a email concession is made salesare effected, but many of
the stapler, finding a difficulty in replacing their stocks,
and feeling that spinners must soon be in the market, are
unwilling to sell, except at the full prices of the last few
weeks. There is no improvement is yarns. There is little
doing for export, but the borne consumption is decreasing.
Spinners are stopping machinery. Prices are generally firm.
There is a trifling improvement in pieces, merchants are
rather more active, and some of the fancy manufacturers
have been doing rather more.

OORN.—Bnumweem, Nov. I.—At Gloucester market,
on the 27th, wheat of all kinds was held for fully as much
money; at Worcester, the same dB:4 secondary qualities
were Is. to 2s. per qr. lower. Is. per qr.
higher. Oat. unaltered. Beans and per farther advanced
Is. to 2s. per qr. During the present week the males re-
=lin wheat are at previous currency. Barley still
tlig upwards, hut leas in request. Gate held for rather
higher prase. Beans firm. Per Is. to 2s. per qr. higher.
At Wolverhampton, yesterday, the value of old wheat wee
nominally the same as before ; new L. to 2s. per qr. lower.
At this day's market there WWI an increased ripply ofwheat
from the farmers, but they held firmly for previous rates;
and the same applies to foreign Isles limited. Barley
fully as dear, butler in request. Oats only taken is retail
Beans maintained their value. Peas sold readily at the
above improvement.

Drstus, Nov. I.—We bad a fair supply of whest, the
condition of the new, of which the pester part consisted,
was, if possible, worse than of late ; anything really good
and dry fully realised WI wades prices ; but the tads was
very dull, and the foreign greatly interfered with the
sale of old. In barley then was a thorough good trade ;
the quality was better, and last week's prices were folly
supported. Wheat, best, 64. to 72e.; muddling, 55e. to
64; inferior, 4t.a. to 555. Barley, 3fe. to 495. lihts,
235. to 335. Beans, 46e. to 50s. Pees, 421. to 46e. Flour,
tag, 53e. to 56e. per sack ; seconds. 46e. to 51e.

liancnairrnat, Nov. I.—Our market this morning was
tolerably well attended, and all good samples of English
wheat brought fully previous prices, while foreign must be
nailed the turn dearer, with a fair amount of business pass-
ing. French and American flour was in moderate request
at the currency of this day .e' ht, but English was quite
neglected. Oats were Id. per 451 b.. and oatmeal was 6d.
per load dearer. Beans and Indian corn again advanced la.
per quarter.
NIRIAL, OCr. 31.—There was about an average show
of wheat offering at to-day's corn market. Good old
qualities made the fullivices of last week. White mode
63. to 74s ; red, 565. to 70a. pet 96 stone. The inquiry for
barley (the show of which was improved) was steady, and
recent rates were well sustained ; =hin 38a to 46.. per
qr. ; grinding rather dearer, and samples made Ms. to
365. per 30 steno. There was very little variation in oat.,
although primps had a tendency to advance ; old. 345. to
38s. ; new, 245. to 30a per 24 stone. Of beans the show
was by no means plentiful, and the trade ruled firm at high
rates ,• old, 62.. to 565. ; new, 48a. to 50.. per 38 stone. Peas
were held toady, and brought their full value-465. to 48s.
per qr. . .

. .
NEWBIIIIT, Nov. I.—We bad a large supply of wheat,
mostly very rough and ill-conditioned ; these qualities very
diScult to move, but beat new and old fairly maintained
lato rates. An increased quantity of barley on offer, two-
thirds fit for grinding only, end Is. per qr. cheaper; the
beet sorts sold rather slowly at late quotations. Oats,
beans, and peas firm at late rates.
112earffog„ Nov. I.—There are fewer samples of grain
offering at today's market and most of them in bad con-
dition. The trade in wheat is but slow at last week's
prices. Oats, barley, and beans obtain rather higher prices.
Rereetilwill, OCT. 31.—We had in the market today
1,106 quarters wheat, 3,154 barley, 1,179 oats, and 5 beans.
Uwe were sold—Wheat, 812 qm ; barley, 2,701 ; oats,
1,061; and beans, 5. As compared with last week—Wheat
was Is. up on top, and Is. 3d. down on average ; barley
was 6d. up on top, and ed. np on average ; oats were
2s. up on tap, and Id. up on average; beans were 24. down
on top and 4d. down on average. Prices per imperial
qr.:—What, 65e. 11d. to 82a. ; barley, 395. 6d. to 475. 6d. ;
oats, 31s. 2d. to 375. ; beans, 535. 2d. to Ms. Wright of
top Wheat, 6511b5. ; barley, 47Pbe.; oats, 4561b5. ;
teens, 651ba.
Wsrearoan, Ocr. 31.—We have had meaty supplies of
home-growugrain sines Baturday,and the minds of foreign
are limited to one cargo of Indian corn from the Mediterra-
nean. For wheat, oats, and barley holders have no diffi-
culty in obtaining rather higher prime, but Indian corn is
the turn lower. Flour a dull sale, but not cheaper.

CATTLII.--Iftwase FAT STOCK MALLET, OCT. 30.
There was a fair show at market today, and • conriderstie
&matt of beeline, was transacted, at prime which might
be termed • trifle lower than a fortnight ago, although the
