COUNTI?,Y MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL-SEPT. 30.

At this morning's market there was a good attendance
of country millers, who bought to a fair extent of wheat,
paying the full prices of Tuesday last, and for good sam-
ples of red an advance of from ld to 2d per bushel was
obtained. Flour sustained extreme prices. Beans and
oats very scarce—the former is to 2s per qr., and the latter
2d per bushel, advance. Oatmeal improved 6d per load on
old, and 2s per load on new. Indian corn was held firmly
for full prices.

WAKEFIELD—SEPT. 30
The supply of all kinds of grain is only moderate for tho
time of year. The reports of the serious advance in wheat
and the short deliveries of the new crop influence prices,

rency of last Friday. Barley is is to 2s per qr. dearer.

DONCASTER.

Although no fatal case of cholera has occurred in this
town, yet diarrhoea prevails to some extent, and there
have been one or two rather bad cases of English cholera.
The Board of Health are adopting the most active pre-
cautionary measures, causing the removal of all dan-
gerous nuisances, and a vigilant inspection of those
quarters of the town which seem most liable to the epi-
demic. The instructions of the General Board of Health
to be observed during the premonitory symptoms of the
disease have been printed and circulated throughout the
town, and arrangements made for supplying the poor
with medicines gratuitously. The complete drainage of
the town is also being actively proceeded with. With a
continuance of the present vigorous exertions of the sa-
nitary officers, and a due observance of the rules of tem-
perance and cleanliness on the part of the inhabitants,
it is hoped than Doncaster will on this occasion, as it
did in 1849, comparatively escape the epidemic.

We have experienced a steady demand this week, and a$
many as 400 casks have been disposed of at about the pre-
vious prices. In foreign there is not much doing, chiefly
from the absence of supplies. About 2,500 boxes Havan-

iitius require prices which buyers will not meet. The de-
mand for refined goods is not quite so active, but prices
remain much the same.

DURHAM.

The measures taken here during the last ten days for
preserving the health of the town appear to have been
successful in preventing the spread of contagion from
persons who have come into the town from Newcastle
with the disease upon them, as no further cases have oo-
curred here, although isolated cases are occurring in
the colliery villages around this city, especially at Beech-
burn Colliery, to the west of the place, where three
deaths have taken place from disease originating there
within the last few days, and several cases remain under
treatment. The continued generally healthy condition
of this city is a matter of astonishment, the prevalent
complaint being diarrhcea.

MiN12461-4NVESTMENT.-Mr. JOHN S.
LANE, Mining Agent 32, Poultry, London. offers his
ervices to parties wishing to embark in Mining enterprise, to
id them in the selection of the soundest as well as the most pro.
mising undertakings. At the present time, when depreciation has
probably gone to the farthest extent, and when so many safe and
valuable shares are so much below their intrinsic value, an invest-
ment would doubtless be attended by immense profits as soon as a
re-action takes place, which may be near at hand. All instructions
promptly attended to.

CHINA.

We have advices from Hong Kong to the 28th
January, inclusive. They bring no intelligence of
interest. We take the following from the Overland
.Register of the above date :
The depression in our market which we had occasion
to notice at the departure of the last mail, has continued
up to the present time. This has been consequent not only
on the approach of the China New Year, but on a scar-
city of money, which is now felt by all classes of the
trading community. What has further induced this de-
pression his been the high rates of exchange ruling,
which has created an anxiety on the part of holders of
goods to realise in order to avail themselves of it.
Goods, however, could only be quitted by submitting to
reduced rates, as the prices which we now give will show.
The stock of goods on the market is gradually decreasing,
and when business is again commenced, which it will be
about the middle of next month, we hope to see some
improvement. At the present time the accounts from
the disturbed districts are far from being favourable, and
the disturbances have a baneful effect on trade.

TEA REPORT.—Canton, Jan. 22, 1853.—A great deal
of activity was caused in the tea market generally in
consequence of the favourable news from England, to
Nov. 8. An advance on former rates for congous was
made, and there was a considerable demand for other
kinds of black and also green tea ; but transactions have
been limited from the small stocks of all kinds, except Ning
Yong and Oolong. The .export to date is 46i millions
lbs., against 51 millions lbs. last, and 454 millions lbs.
the previous year.
RATES OF EXCHANGE AND PRICES OF BULLION IN
CANTON.—On England, six months' sight, 58. to ss. ld.
per dollar ; on Calcutta, Company's accepted bills, Rs.
234 to 235 per $lOO ; gold, $21.25 per tael of 100-touch;

RAILWAY 'ACCIDENTS.

The Earl of MALMESBURY rose to call the atten-
tion of her Majesty's Government to a correspondence
which has taken place between Mr. Spence and the
Board of Trade, on the subject of a bridge on the North
Shields Railway. Since the last time he had addressed
their lordships, a fortnight ago, five railway accidents
of the most serious nature had taken place, in conse-
quence of which, H persons had been suddenly destroyed,
and 40 others seriously, if not permanently injured. He
considered that these accidents were all owing to mis-
management on the part of the railway company, and
the want of some proper supervision of the Govenment.
This superintending power might, he thought, be well
exercised in overlooking the state of the roads, in fixing
a maximum of speed, and in fixing also a minimum of
the intervals between the starting of'trains.
Lord STANLEY of Alderley, said the subject was
one of great importance, and claimed a great share of
the consideration of the Government. No steps, how-
ever, could be taken until tile report of the Committee
of the House of Commons now sitting was presented.
After a few words from Lord BEAUMONT and Lord
GALWAY, the subject dropped.
• [LEFT SITTING.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS EVENING.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The report upon the Redruth and Chasewater Rail-
way Bill was brought up and agreed to.
ISLE OF WIGHT RAILWAY BILL.
On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. VANSITTAR,T moved that "the bill be read a
second time this day six months, on the ground that it
was opposed by the inhabitants of the island.
Mr. LAING saw no reason for departing from the
usual course adopted by the house, of allowing railway
bills to be read a second time, in order to be "referred
to a committee. He stated that at all the public meet-
ings held in the Isle of Wight in reference to the railway,
with the exception of one, had passed resolutions in
favour of the project.
Mr. HARCOURT said the majority of the landowners
in the island, as well as a great number of the respect-
able tradesmen in the four principal towns, were opposed
to the construction of the railway. He had no interest
either one way or the other, but he thought it right to
state the facts, and to leave the house in its wisdom to
say whether or not the project should be proceeded
with.

Mr. CnoMrroN and Sir R. H. INGLIS supported the
amendment.
The house then divided, when there appeared—
For the second reading 92

The bill was consequently lost.

MUTINY BILL.

On the motion of the Earl of ABERDEEN, this bill
was read a third time and passed.

MARINE MUTINY BILL.

On the motion of the same noble earl, this bill was
also read a third time and passed.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.— ;YESTERDAY.
The SPEANER took the chair at four o'clock.
CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY BILL.

On the motion for considering the report on this bill,
Mr. SPOONER said the bill had been read a second
time, and was now brought up from the committee, and
it was his intention to move that it be re-committed. He
did not wish to raise the question as to whether the
Crystal Palace should be opened on Sunday ; his objection
to the bill being that it was introduced to confirm an
Agreement entered into between the Crystal Palace Com-
pany and the Brighton Railway Company, although the
house was in possession of no information as to the
nature of that agreement. There was a clause in the
bill which enabled the railway company to receive moneys,
and hand them over to the Crystal Palace Company, and
the effect of it would be to enable the latter company to evade
the provision in their charter which prevented them re-
ceiving moneys or opening the building on Sundays, un-
less by sanction of Parliament. He thought such an
important question as to opening the building on Sun-
days ought not to be decided by a side-wind, but by a
substantive motion brought forward on the general
principle.
Mr. GEACH said the object of the bill was to divert
certain roads, and delay in passing it would occasion great
inconvenience to the company, as they were anxious to
open the building in May, in order not to disappoint the
public. He fully admitted that it was not desirable to
discuss or settle the question about opening it on Sun-
days by an indirect motion ; and if the hon. member
would withdraw his motion, he would undertake that
the clause to which he objected should be struck out
on the third reading.
Mr. DEEDES observed that if the house passed the
bill, it would sanction an agreement of which it knew
nothing.
Sir R. H. INGLIS recommended Mr. Spooner to
adopt the suggestion of Mr. Geach.
Mr. W. PATTEN said it was incorrect to suppose
that the agreement between the two companies had not
been before the committee. Fe had looked into it him-
self, and taken legal opinion upon it; and he believed
there was nothing which would, either directly or indi-
rectly, enable the Crystal Palace to be opened on Sun-
(lays. He, however, entirely agreed with Mr. Spooner,
that it was not desirable to sanction an agreement
which was not in some way before the house, and
he should, therefore, suggest that Mr. Spooner should
withdraw his amendment, on the understanding that the
clause in question should be struck out on the third
reading.
Mr. LAING disclaimed any attempt on the part of
the Crystal Palace Company to smuggle a clause into the
bill for the purpose of enabling them to open the build-
ing on Sundays.
After a few words from Mr. WIGRAM, Mr. SPOONER
withdrew his amendment, the report was agreed to, and
the bill ordered to be read a third time.

tion to a division. And quite as gratifying was
the incident on Friday evening ; more so, indeed,
as a practical evidence of the feelings of Govern-
ment and the House on this subject. We allude
to Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT'S motion for the discharge
from custody without payment of fees, of BOWYER,
the person who declined on theological grounds to
take an oath before the Southampton Election
Committee. A motion which the Recorder of
London, Mr. S. WORTLEY, supported, with the
suggestion that it should be optional with Courts
of Justice to exempt at their discretion any from
taking an oath. This would be a great step in
advance. The motion was quite unopposed.

HUDDERSFIELD. -
At the meeting of the committee this morning, the
learned counsel replied 'on the whole case. The room was
then cleared, and on the re-admission of the parties, the
chairman read the following resolutions :
" That C. Stanfield, Esq., was not duly elected to serve
in the present Parliament for the borough of Huddersfield.
" That the last election was a void election.
" That the said C. Stanfield, Esq., had, by his agents,
been guilty of bribery and treating, but that it was not
proved to the committee that it was with the knowledge of
the said C. Stanfield, Esq."

sented to their lordships on Friday evening last from
the Metropolitan and Provincial Law Association, on
the subject of one of the clauses. That clause provided
that the examiners should be appointed from the class of
barristers. The members of that association complained
of that provision, alleging that it was a grievance to
them that the chances of appointment should not be
xxtended to solicitors as well as barristers, and that
solicitors should be ineligible to those offices. He
wik3hed to observe for their satisfaction that the subject
had been well considered in another place ; but indepen-
dently of that, it would be impossible not to confine the
appointment to barristers without acting on a different
principle from that which had been laid down in analo-
gous cases. The new Vice-Chancellors must be selected
from the class of barristers, and the duties of the exa-
miners were now so extensive and so important, that it
would be impossible to secure fit persons from any other
class than that of barristers. The solicitors must, there-
fore, not consider that any slur was cast upon them by
the provisions of this bill.
The bill then passed through committee.

REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY

MARKETS.

FROM THE 28TH OF JANUARY TO THE 11TH OF FEBRUARY

INCLUSIVE.

Money continues plentiful and cheap ; and the mar-
ket for securities of all kinds has been very animated
during the past fortnight, the appearance of the notifi-,
cation regarding the payment or conversion of the Five
per Cent. Transfer Loan having caused all other securi-
ties to advance in price.
Cotton Piece Goods.—Since the date of our last re-
port, a considerable amount of business has been done,
but at slightly reduced rates.
Grey Shirtings.—Of these there has been a large sale,
but prices have declined about two annas per piece on
all descriptions.
Grey Madapollams have likewise been sold to a large
extent, while the value has improved one to two annas
per piece.
Grey Jacconets have had a fair share of the market,
and the sales have been effected at rates a shade higher
than those quoted in our last report.
Grey Longcloth.—The business done in these goods
has been rather small ; the value may be quoted at the
same rate as when our last report was published.
Grey T Cloth is in good inquiry, at an improvement
in value for the higher descriptions.
Grey Domestics are in good demand, at enhanced
rates, especially 40 inches, which is scarce.
Grey Twills are in fair enquiry, but without improve-
ment in value.

Grey Mulls.— A considerable amount of business have
been done in these, but the value has somewhat receded.
Bleached Shirtings.—A large number of sales has been
effected, but at considerably reduced prices.
Bleached Jacconets have been in moderate inquiry.
Their value is without change.

Turkey Red.—There is not much doing in these, and
little or no improvement in value. '
Fancy Goods.—Lappets, mulls, and checks, are in re-
quest, while gauze, zebra dresses, and book-muslins are
dull.

Cotton Yarn.—A. fair amount of business has been
done at the same rates as we quoted by last mail.
