LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, SATURDAY.--
T o or three cargoes of wheat have arrived coastwise,
but the aggregate of the week's arrival of grain, flour, and
oatmeal is to a small amount. The accounts of the crow
from most parts of the country are unfavourable ; at the
present season of the year, however, the reports on this
head have much less influence over the trade than the
state of the weather ; and this having, during the greater
part of the week, been fine, we have only to report a
moderate business in wheat, of which, at 3 esterday's
market, there were sellers at 2d. per bushel below
Tuesday's quotations. To-day has been wet and
sultry. Oats have become very scarce, especially fine
qualities, and they command fully last week's rate:
fresh parcels of foreign have sold, for merlin„ at 45. to
4s. 2d. per 451bg. There is little oatmeal on the market,
but more than enough for the demand, and prices remain
unaltered ; 365. 6d. per 2401 b. an extreme for Irish :nand-
facture. Flour has found a moderate sale at 50s. to 58s.
per sack for home manufacture, and 38s. to 41s. per bushel
for foreign. Barley has continued in request ; good par-
cels of foreign selling at ss. 3d. to ss. 6d. ; inferior at
4s. 9d. to 45. 10d. per 60Ibs. Beans and Peas meet only
a retail sale at our last quotations.

In which he declares his conviction of the necessity of the
changes in the Constitution (the principal change is in the
Veld which his Majesty wishes to be absolute). His Ma-
jesty declares that he has most maturely considered the
subject, that he is not actuated by ambition or a wish to
increase the Royal authority. His Majesty's advanced
age, he says, will not allow him the hope of opening the
next Storthing, but the thought uppermost in his mind is
tile future destiny of the two united kingdoms. His Ma-
jesty affectionately taking leave of the Storthing performs
a sacred duty in making it acquainted with matters that
he considers to be advantageous to the peace and political
independence of Norway.
The Storthing resolved unanimously that the Royal pro-
positions and the accompanying communication should be
printed and published, and be discussed in the next Storth-

ROLL'S COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

The MASTER of the ROLLS took his seat in the
Roll's Court, Westminster, at half-past one o'clock.

IN RE RUGBY SCHOOL.

Mr. PEMBERTON stated that in this case his Lord-
ship had disposed of most of the points, but had
reserved his judgment upon one point, in order that it
might be seen whether some regulation could not be in-
troduced by the Trustees which would supersede the
necessity of any order of the Court. He (Mr. P.)
was now ,nstructed to state that nothing had yet been
done by the Trustees, and to ask that it might be put
in the paper for Thursday or Friday next to be dis-
posed of.
Mr. KINDERSLEY wns instructed to consent to that
course being adopted.
The MASTER of the ROLLS—Let it be in the paper
next Friday morning.
\VELFORD V. STAINETHROP AND OTHERS.

Mr. KEANE applied in this else that the defendant,
William Robson, who had been taken upon an attach-
mqnt lor not putting in his answer, might be turned
over to the Fleet.

The MASTER of the ROLLS to the defendant—Why
have you not put in your answer?
Defendant—l tunic no means. lam a poor man,
and have a wife and children to support.

The MAsTER, of the Rou,s—Are you willing to
put in your answer,?

The MASTER of the ROLLS—WeII, you must go to
the Fleet for the present.

LOCAL COURTS.-(SCOT

AND

Last Tuesday, Tuesday, at the annual general meeting of the
Commissioners of Supply, Sze., for the county of

Renfrew,
On the motion of Mr. WALLACE the following reso-
lutions, relative to the pecuniary remuneration of
Sheriff-substitutes, were unanimously adopted.
1. That the office of Sheriff-substitute is one of
great labour, responsibility, and general usefulness.
2. That statutes lately passed have depriv.ed Sheriff-
substitutes of the means which previously existed of in-
creasing their incomes in various ways.
3. That Sheriff-substitutes, being now debarred from
all other.. employments but such as appert.ain to their
judicial duties, have only their small salaries from the
Crown to depend on.
4. That the salaries of Sheriff -substitutes are dispro-
portioned to their proper station in society, and much
below what is justly due to individuals holding the labo-
rious and highly responsible office of county Judges all
over Scotland.
5. That the meeting agree forthwith to petition the
Lords of her Majesty's Treasury to augment those sa-
laries, and, should this fail, to petition both Houses of
Parliament on their inadequacy.

The Members of the Sacred Harmonic Society
have announced a repetition of Judas Maccabeus ; it
is one of their best performances, and contains some of
the best of solos (two with obligato accompaniments, by
Lindley and Harper), and the chorusses, " We Come,"
" Disdainful of Danger," " Fall'n is the Foe," " Sing
unto God," and " See the Conquering Hero Comes,"
among the most successful and effective of the Society's
performances.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

CANTERBURY.—Good Kent Hops have realised ex-
cellent prices. The late Sir Henry Oxenden's produce
obtained 6/. Bs. (pockets.) Other growths of this
neighbourhood have varied from 5/. 12s. to Si. The
good hop is in great demand ; the inferior sorts meet a
heavy sale.

HOP DUTY.—The collection of the Hop duty in
East Kent will take place as follows :—At Wye, Nov.
15 ; Ashford, Nov. 16 ; Cranbrook, Nov. 10 ; Goud-
hurst, Nov. '2O ; Tenterton, Nov. 21 ; Faversham, Nov.
22 ; Canterbury, Nov. 23 and '25 ; Sandwich, Nov. 26.

SUSSEX.—The Collector of Excise for Sussex will
attend at the following places to collect the last pay-
ment of Hop duty of the growth of the year 1838. viz.,
at Lewes, Nov. 15 ; Battle, Nov. 18 ; Rye, Nov. 20
Wadhurst, Nov. 21 ; Tonbridge Wells, Nov. 22.

It is a remarkable coincidence that the unfortu-
nate man Harding, who was killed last evening by the
explosion of fire-works, should have been liberated
only yesterday morning from prison, where he had
been confined for selling these dangerous play-things.
This is the second person engaged in the trade who
within a few months has fallen a victim to it in London.
OXFORD-STREET EXPERIMENTAL WOOD
PAVING.—On Friday the settlement of this almost in-
terminable question was completed. Out of the many
competitors for laying down specimens of wood pave-
ment within the space allotted by the Vestry of St.
Marylebone for the additional experiment in Oxford-
street, but one party has acceded to the terms of the
Vestry to do the same at their own expense and risk.
A contract has been effected by the Marylebone Vestry
with Sir Burgess Comae and Mr. Lamie Murray, on,
behalf of " The Metropolitan Wood Paving Company;
to lay down four thousand yards in the space frpm
Charles-street to Wells-street, after the mode invented
by the Count de Lisle, called the stereotomy of the
cube. The whole of this contemplated work is to be
complete on or before the Ist of February next.

CHANCERY COURT-.(THIS DAY.)

This being the first day of Michaelmas Term, the
Lord Chancellor, after signifying her Majesty's gracious
approval of the Lord Mayor Elect (Sir Chapman Mar-
shall), entertained the Judges, Masters in Chancery,
and Queen's Counsel to breakfast, at his Lordship's
residence in Bruton-street, and from thence his Lord-
ship, accompanied by his Learned Guests, proceeded
in State to Westminster, to open the Courts. His
Lordship, in taking his seat, shortly before two o'clock,
was attended by the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-
Chancellor, and Masters Farrar and Lynch.

a mandamus should not issue against the assistant Tithe
Commissioners, compelling them to hear an appli-
cation made upon the subject of altering the tithes
of Cliffe according to a certain average, as directed
by the Act of Parliament. A rule was granted
last term, but some doubts were entertained whe-
ther the refusal of the Con,r9issioners was suffi-
ciently distinct. That point was now perfectly clear.
Another point was that the Commissioners pro-
posed to take into their consideration a report pre-
sented by them to the two Houses of Parliament, which
if no steps were taken by either House would become
the law of the land. It turned out that that report was
not made until after the time within which it
was required to be made, by the Acts of Parliament.
He submitted that the Commissioners had no right to
adopt that report, and that they ought to act upon the
clauses of the Act, without reference to the report.
His Lordship granted a rule nisi.

both of the men of the fire brigade and of the police
force, and to their readiness in affOrding every informa-
tion in their power.

Mr. BAINES belied Co ask the Right Hon. Baronet
whether the order sent from this country by the Directors
of the East India Company, regarding the transportation
of Hill Coolies, had been received in Calcutta—whether
it had been promulgated, and whether a termination had
been put to that trade?
Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE had much pleasure in stating
that the dispatch had been received ; that it had been acted
upon, and that on the 29th December last, a law had passed
the Legislative Council ofd India, putting a final end to the
exportation of Hill Coolie a.

CORN-LAWS.

The Marquis c,f BREA DA LBANE presented a peti-
tion from the Royal Borough of Perth, praying for the
repeal of the Corn-laws. The Noble Marquis said this
was a subject of very great importance, and he knew there
was a cry deep fechng excited respecting the corn trade,
and that tee discontent and dissatisfation on that subject were
increasing. What greater argument could there be against
Inv particular line or policy of law, than that it was cal-
culated to produce discontent and disgust on the part of a
great proportion of the country. No doubt in great public
affairs, where the resources were bound up and united toge-
ther, it was difficult for their Lordships to give an advantage

to one, nithout producing some correspon—dent detriment to
another ; but he trusted that if their Lordships should feel
unable to grant a total repeal cf the Corn-laws, they
nould nevet theless take the question into their deliberate
conslderatiOn, and examine fu!ly into all its operations.
The Noble Marquis presented a petition from a town
in Argylealtire, in favour of Church Extension.

LIBEL.—The case of ‘, Wiltnett v. Harmer and
Bell," tried in the Queen's Bench on Thursday, was certainly one
of the boldest experiments we ever recollect, or, indeed, have read
of, to turn a man's own infamy to profitable account by endeavour-
ingto induce a jury to give damages against a newspaper for throw-
ing some light upon practices of so deep a dye of moral depravity as
makes the conduct of the highwayman appear manly and chivalrous
in comparison. Of all the crimes that most disgrace the character
of man in a state of civilized society, that is the meanest, the basest,
the most heartless and cruel, which consists in entrapping an intro.
cent, unsuspecting female to become the Wife, as she is led to believe,
of a wretch already married, who not only daringly violates the law of
man to get the unhappy victim into his toils, but makes an audacious
mockery of the holy rites of religion, and coolly utters the foulest of
premeditated perjury at the altar of God.—Morning Hera ld.

The Earl of RIPON presented a petition from a parish

in Canada, complaining of the treatment they had received,
and which he should present as soon as he saw his Noble
Friend in his place, who he understood had accepted
the Seals of Office as Secretary for the Colonies.
The Noble and Learned Lord said that a Bill had been
introduced for the government of Upper and Lower
Canada in 1822, which it would be most desirable that the
Members of that House should be made acquainted with,
and ho understood that there was but one copy of it in the
House. He had been frequently asked for it of late. He
hoped that means wouid be taken to have their Lordships
supplied with it.
THE NAVY.

Lord COLCHESTER gave notice that on Thursday
next he should move for certain other returns to be
laid on the table by the Noble Lord at the head of
the Admiralty respecting the effective state of the Navy.
He should on that occasion take the opportunity of stating
his opinion of the numerical state and strength of her
Majesty's Navy, that the whole subject might be
brought before the House. He begged to state
that he was doing this entirely upon his own responsibility,
and that, therefore, he had not mentioned the subject to
any Ni ble Lord whom he might call a leader upon either
side of thr... House.

Do we differ from many of our fellow Christians in
contemplating the Globe on which our race was planted
yesterday as an infintesimal of an unknown date in infinite
space, where not a sparrow falls to the ground without its Crea-
tor's notice? A question has been raised, whether the trans-
gression of that race's progenitor convulsed, by its astoundingly
penal consequence to the Secoud Person of the Trinity, the
universe of mind and matter. What if our nearest satellite
were not aware of it !—" God's holy child Jesus."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Hampshire Telegraph.)
PORTSMOUTH, AUG. 17—The Pique, 36, Captain Box-
er, arrived this morning in fifteen days from Halifax, hav-
ing been ordered home by despatches that reached her by
the Great Western. She left the Inconstant, 36, with Sir
Thomas Harvey's flag, end the Medea steamer, at Halifax,
and brings no news. Every thing waa quiet in Canada,
and it was anticipated that the people were so fully con•
vinced of the misery of civil warfare, that no outbreak
would occur during the ensuing winter. Captain Roper,
of the Bth Regiment, came home passenger in the Pique.
The Madagascar, 42, Captain Wallis, left Halifax, for
England on the Ist instant; but as she bad to take volun-
teers to St. John's, Newfoundland, for the Veteran Com-

head.

newly appointed Governor of that island, on board ; after
disembarking whom, the Cnrocoa will proced to South

The Lily, IC, Commander Deere, and Pantaloon, 10,
sailed this afternoon, on a short cruise, to try their re•
spective rates of sailing. The former will sail in a few
days for the coast of Africa, and is intended, probably, to
be the bearer of instructions under the Portuguese Slave-
trade Bill.
We understand that the Excellent is to be fitted for
trial, with a movable platform, for the purpose of teach-
ing seamen naval gunnery. It is the invention of Lieut.
Thomas Cooke, R. N., Professor of Fortification at Addis-
combo.
The Avon steamer arrived on Thursday with the depot

port sailed to-day for Chatham.

The Buzzard brig of war, Lieut, Fitzgerald, was at New
York on the Ist instant, having carried there three slave
vessels, the Wyoming, Clara, and Eagle, for condemna-
tion, which she captured on the coast of Africa, under
American colours. It was presumed that- one must be
condemned, but that the other two must retrace their way
across the Atlantic for adjudication at Sierra Leone.
