THE COAST DEFENCE BRIGADE.--The Controller-
General of the Coast Guard has issued orders for the
cessation of the great gun exercise for the season, and
Commander Jerningham has returned to her Ma-
jesty's ship Excellent, having been engaged since the
winter in carrying out on the coast Captain Stewart's
(the Controller-General) instructions, during his
absence on a tour of inspection and minute examina-
tion of the coast of Ireland and Scotland, o s ing to
the reductions in the protection to the revenue that he
has thought it necessary to recommend. Whilst
50,0001. per annum will be saved by these reductions
the efficiency of the coast-guard will be improved by
an addition to the force on shore. Twenty revenue
cruisers are now for sale, w hich were a class of
vessels well adapted for the purpose for which they
were intended; but it is to be hoped, if ever it
should be found necessary to increase this arm of the
service, that one more suited to coast defences will he
adopted in their stead.
Upwards of 2,600 men are now fit for service,
ashore or afloat, at a moment's notice, embracing
nearly half the entire force of the coast-guard of the
United Kingdom, and all lying within six hours' sail
of our Government ports. These are the crews of the
districts and revenue cruisers between Lynn and
Norfolk and Milford Haven, out of which about 250
have served as petty officers, upwards of 1,000 as able
seamen, and the remainder as seamen of revenue
cruisers promoted into the coast-guard, and 400 as
seamen and boys now serving in cruisers. Out of this
number of 2,600 drilled men, something short of 250
exceed the age of 40, though the mean average age is
30 to 35. The same good spirit exists among them
to keep up their efficiency, and they are indebted to
men selected from among themselves, and who were
instructed in her Majesty's ship Excellent, for the
high state of gunnery proficiency they have displayed.
Considering the general good character of the men
and their professional value as seamen, certainly a
force of 5,000 such (for they are picked men) might
prove of some importance on an emergency. The
expense has not exceeded 500/, and the expenditure.
of ammunition has been considerably less than
allowed for the same number of men in her Majesty's
navy. The inspecting commanders and other officers
in the coast-guard have displaycoedarogrielaotr.Gerseeanlaarsnd
perseverance in carrying out the
views, and Commander Jerningham has conducted
the whole service with judgment and energy.

Sonnd, and was paid wages on Wednesday. She has

MANCHESTER, OCT. 20.—1 a the early part of the week
the trade continued steady, and a fair demand was ex-
perienced for good qualities of flour, fully, and, in some
instances, for extra kinds, rather over the previous cur-
rency. Subsequently, however, less animation has pre-
vailed, the dealers and bakers refraining from following
up their purchases. A moderate amount of business has
been passing in oatmeal throughout the week, but prices
have further receded. Of Irish produce the arrivals at
Liverpool are less extensive than during the preceding
week; and coastwise the supplies are again trivial. From
abroad the imports, with the exception of 35,898 barrels
of flour from the United States, are likewise only mode-
rate. At our market this morning considerable inac-
tivity existed, and although holders of both wheat and
flour were willing to accept the rates of this day se'nnight,
few sales could be effected. In the value of oats no
change was apparent, but oatmeal must be noted fully
6d per load cheaper.

DUBLIN, OCT. 20.—We bad a good supply of grain
at market this day. At the commencement a small
advance was demanded on wheat and oats, and ii some
instances paid ; but the market ended dull for all de-
scriptions of grain, at the quotations of Tuesday, which
we repeat. The consumptive demand for Indian corn was
quite in retail at our quotations:—White wheat, new,
19s 6d to 235; red ditto, 17s to 21s 6d; barley, 96 63 to
14s 6d; bere, 8s to 9s; new oats (per barrel), 85 6d to
10s; rapeseed (ditto), 25s to 265; oatmeal, 10a to 11s;

Es 6d

to 13s.

GLASGOW, OCT. 18.—At our market to-day we had
a good supply of cattle and a good many inferior beasts,
bat good cattle fully maintained last week's prices.
Best ox beef 50s per cwt, secoid 40s to 45s per do,
cows and inferior beasts from 30s to 363 per do, sinking
the offal. A good many turned out unsold. Owing to
the good supply of sheep sales were dull and prices
much as last week. Best aged wethers sid per ib, mid-
dling. from 4d to 4id per do, ewes from 3d to 3/d per do.
sinking the offal. Lambs dull, and !prices ruled about
those of last week.

per lb, lid to 2d.
CORK, OCT. 19.—We have had but few arrivals of
foreign grain during the week. The supply of that of
home growth, however, continues abundant, the receipts
for the week amounting to—Wheat, 3,285 barrels, at
16s to 2ls per barrel; barley, 9,316 barrels, at 7s to
lls 6d per barrel; and oats, 14,130 barrels, at 6s 9d to
9s 4d per barrel. The condition of the wheat coming in
has improved, and the value of the article has advanced
to the extent of 6d per barrel. The prepared market is
exceedingly quiet, and we have very little business pass°
ing either in home or foreign grain; still holders are
firm. Barley, which comes to hand in great quantity. is
the turn cheaper, except for prime malting samples,
which are scarce and in demand. In prepared barley
we have no business to notice. Oats continue to meet 11
ready sale at rather improving prices. Some sales of
the prepared article have been made at 8s 6d per barrel,
free on board, which we may quote the current value.
We continue to experience a steady consumptive demand
for fresh made flour of approved brands. Coarse quell.
ties also still find a ready sale. The consumption of
bread, owing perhaps to the deteriorated condition of
potatoes, has decidedly increased, so that we maY
look for a more steady trade in the article
than that experienced of late. The trade in Indian
corn continues to be of the most restricted
character. Holders, however, are firm and we cannot
alter our quotations of last week, namely, 61 10s to
6/ 15s per ton. Indian meal meets very little inquiry.

HUGE CARROT.—It is not a little gratifying to
that we still maintain a most enviable superioritf
amongst our contemporaries for the production of vege'
table monstrosities. They have been hunting hither
and thither in search of such wonders, but the turelP
and the mushroom which we described the other week"'
to say nothing of the pears which we did not taste, but
the size of which we very faithfully recorded—reglall
not only unsurpassed but unapproached by anything c'l' the kind which the most painstaking and industria
amongst them have been able to lay hold of. We are
now, happily, in a condition to claim credit for thei
largest carrot grown within thirty miles of the 51)°,
where we write. A huge giant of this kind, of the Wir;
species, was sent to us this week, measuring 13 lel;
in circumference at the thick end-12i inches in length
—and weighing 31b. 10oz. It was grown by Mr. 3-04,11'
stt n?, postmaster, Eeclalechan.—Carlisle Journal.
CHEAP TRAVELLING.—We notice that the packe"ii
brats are announced to run between Manchester OA
Liverpool, and vice versa, at the low fares of ad. and 3u,
o
for the whole length between those two places.
boats at the lowest fare (3d.) perform the voyage
about seven hours; those at the higher rate (6d.)
about 44 hours.
