COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,

DURING THE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGB, Oct. 29.
We had a good supply of Wheat and Flour this week, as'
our import note shews ; added to which ten more cargoes ar-
rived this morning, and which are not included; so that to.
day's market was abundantly supplied with these two arti-
cles; but of others the importation is still very deficient, and
the stock in granary is fast diminishing. Many country
dealers were in attendance wanting to buy New Irish Wheat,
and there was likewise a spirited speculative demand for it;
any thing of good quality sold at 5s 3d to 5s 4d, and fine at
5s 6d per bushel, establishing a rise of full 2d per ;albs on
this description. Old Wheat was not so much attended to,
yet the demand was tolerably fair, but there was no variation
fiom our last currency. Grinding Barley was inquired for,
and, as well as Malt, supports its price. Old Oats, barrested
in 1820, and those grown this year, are ready sale at about
2s 8d per 451 b. Beans were is to 2s per quarter dearer.—
Flour and Oatmeal were a little higher. Some considerable
parcels of Foreign Wheat arc exporting to the ports in the
Mycliterranean, and a few hundred quarters to the United
States.

DENSTIAW V. STREET.

It will be recollected, that a few months ago a young man
named Horatio Reeves was committed to the Fleet Prison for
having committed a contethpt of Court by eloping from Exeter
with Miss Drusilla Street, a ward of the Court. '

Mr. HART now said he had .a petition to present on behalf of
the above individual, which set forth that he had suffered con-
siderably from his confinement, and prayed that he might be
set at liberty. '

The LOlilD CILANCELLOII said he would hear the petition
on Monday week.-

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 2.
GAUNT V. BALL.

This was an action of trover,' for a horse, described as a bay
gilding, which, it was alleged, the defendant had converted to
his own use.

The whole case resolved itself into a question of identity ;
namely, whether the horse claimed by the plaintiff was his or
the defendant's property: On the part of the plaintiff it was
proved, that on the 12th of February, 1820, he bought the
horse in question of a gentleman named White, of York, at
Northallerton fair,
.in Lincolnshire, and that sonic time after-
wards it was stolen from his farm, and afterwards traced to. the
possession of the defendant. Several witnesSes, and amongst
others, Mr. White, his groom, and the driver of the York High-
flyer, swore distinctly and pbsitively to the horse iri piestion,
tracing its history from . the time it was a foal of two years old
down to the very moment it was sold to the plaintiff. They all
pointed out marks by which they knew the animal, and were
quite positive as•to its identity:
On the other hand, twice the number of witnesses were called
on the part of the defendant, to prove that the horse was_ foaled
on the farm of Mr. Grant, a farmer at Maidenhead, in June,
1816, and continued in his possession until the month of May,
1820, when it. was sold to the defendant, a farmer at Wexham,•
in whose poisession it remained until the Ist September, 1820,
when it was stolen, but after Wares brought back on the Bth of
the same month. All these witnesses swore most solemnly to
the identity of the animal--pointed out marks by which they
knew it, and gave a succinct history of it from the time of its
birth to this day. •
The case went to the Jury under the Learned Judge's direc-
tions, who left it to them simply as a question of identity, and
they found their verdict for the defendant. •

"Though some, who know mankind, and the various follies,
faults, and virtues that are blended in our imperfect natures,
May smile with me at this free relation of what I have seen
and known, yet I am aware that more will be offended at the
liberty I have taken in painting men as they are : and that
many, from private connections of party, and family, will
dislike meeting such unflattered portraits of their heroes or
their relations. Yet this, I fear, must always be the case in
any history written impartially by an eye-witness ;—and eye-
witnesses have been generally allowed to be the properest
historians."—(Extract from Loan ORFORD'S Post Script.)

STATE.OF CANADA.

Mr. HUME said he had been requested by an individual,
named Robert Gourley, to present his Petition. to this House.
ne- stated that 'similar petitions had been presented from him
,iszi the 21st of July, 1820, and on the 27th of June, 1821. He
stated that he had resided in Upper Canada • for several years,
and he wished to call the attention of the House to the present
situation of the Colonies there. He was of opinion that under
4v,different • system, these Colonies, which were now a great
:charge, might be maintained; not only free of expence to this
.ceuntry, but be made productive of a. revenue under proper
management. The point to which he called the: more garden-
larattention of the House was the manner in which' the waste
Tend in Canada was disposed of. In the neighbouring districts
Of America the land was sold at so much an acre, and last year
fhis'sale..produced upwards of• 2,000,00 of dollars; -whilst in
Canada the distribution of land in the same time • cost this po-
rernrnent a round sum. A great objection lay to themanner in.
which the land was portioned out. In most places large inter-
vening tracts were left totally unpeopled, whilst the emigrants
were scattered about,:. and there . being no villages., they were
unableto give each other that. support which was necessary to
ail Colonies. The consequences of this mismanagement were
'strongly marked by the contrast which Canada presented with
the neighbouring districts. A line was-drawn .between Lipper
Canada and the Provinces of the United States, and though the
Mode of cultivation was alike, yet upon the Pritish'side the
-land was of .small value and thinly peopled, whilst on the other
•there.was a.dense population, and the land was five or six times
mote valuable. This state of things was attributable to the
existing laws. The revision of these laws was one of the pray-
ers .of this Petition. Petitioner also called the attention of the
House to the mode in which the Government of Canada was
administered, and he asserted that if some alteratien was not
• made in these respects, Canada, in ten years hence, would not
Jae a dependant. on • Great Britaib. He suggested that it was
better to make it the interest of the Colonies to remain subject to
• this country, than be-hereafter obliged, at a great expence, to
retain them. The 'Hon. Member said, the Petition contained
many other observations worthy the attention of this house, and
as upon reading it over he found that it contained nothing ob-
jactiortable, he would move that it be brought up. The Peti-
thin was laidupon the table.

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,

DURING TILE LAST WEEK.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Aug.) 3.

The importation of Wheat this week has been immense,
principally from Ireland : upwards of 1400 quarters were Ca-
nadian. The weather has also continued fine, and enabled
the farmers to make great progress in securing the crop. The
dealers that attended today appeared to be more lookers-on
than buyers; and another effort was made to force off a very
large quantity of old and new Irish Wheat, as well as old
Oats, by auction, which sold at very low prices, and so
astounded the trade that scarcely any other sales were made.
We feel diffident in quoting prices, convinced that it is Im-
possible to do it with accuracy ; they may, therefore, be con-
sidered as nominal. Wheat was full out 9d per bushel
cheaper, Barley 2d to 3d, Oats 4d to Gd, Beans 3s per quar-
ter, and Flour and Oatmeal 3s to 4s per pack. A small par-
cel of new Irish Oats, (this year's growth), of excellent qua-
lity, sold for 3s per bushel of 451hs.

There were more carriages in Hyde Park yesterday than we

late fatal catastrophe has excited, it having brought back to
the metropolis a vast number of persons from their country

GREECE.

The Nuremberg Correspondent, of the 10th
instant, contains the following interesting letter
on the affairs of Greece, dated, Corinth, June
26 :

" It was known at Corinth, says the writer, that the plan of
the Porte had fir object to attack the Peloponnesus, which
they considered the chief seat of the insurrection, by water and
by land at the same time. For this purpose, Ali Bey, the Capi-
tan Pacha, sailed with the great fleet from Constantinople; he
was to take on board Asiatic troops in Smyrna, and carry them
to the coast of the Morea. Hatti-Sherifs were at the same time
dispatched to Achmed Chourschid Pacha, as Commander-in-
Chief of all the troops•destiried to act against the Peloponne-
sus, and to the Pachas of Salonica and Janina, who were
to join their forces to his for that expedition. Veria, in
the Plains of Macedonia, was fixed on as the place of ren-
dezvous for the troops of the Pacha of Salonica. Omer
Vrione, Pacha of Janina, was to form the right flank of the
expeditionary army, while Hassan Pacha with his troops
formed the left flank, and Chourschid was to command, in per-
son, the centre, at the head of the Asiatics. It was therefore
determined in Corinth to anticipate the offensive operations of
Chourschid by acting offensively against the Turks before theCa-
pudan Pacha could appear in the waters of the Peloponnesus.
To detain him as long as possible in the Archipelago, and prevent
him from proceeding to the Mores, was the problem, of which
the solution was committed to the Greek fleet, and the valiant
and enterprising mariners of Hydra, Spezzia, and Ipsara. For
this purpose, the landing in Scio from Samos, and the insur-,
rection of that island, as well as of Mitylene, was effected. If
Scio has become the sacrifice of this enterprise, this sacrifice
has not been without great advantage to the general cause of
Greece. The destruction of the greater part of the fleet of the
Capudan Pacha,. before he could leave the waters of Scio,
which was afterwards happily executed, shows that the plan
formed in Corinth has been executed by the Greek navy in a
more complete manner than could even have been anticipated.
At the same time numerous corps were dispatched to /Etolia,
Albania, and Livadia, which acted on a common plan of ope-
rations against Chourschid, whose force, attacked on every side
and threatened in flank, was driven back as far as Jenischehr
(Larissa). If the Greeks gain a fresh victory here, and the ca-
pital of Thessaly falls into their hands, Greece will then be
free all the way to Olympus, and it will be difficult for the
Turks to succeed in repassing the mountains."

CHRISTOPHER.

" Sheweth—That this year Majesty's ancient and loyal
lony is plunged by the concurrent disasters oftbe times, and by
an unequal share of misfortune, in the deepest distress.
"That your Majesty's dutiful and loyal Petitioners have
repeatedly presumed to lay itt the foot of the Throne the sad
detail of their sufferings and have, from time to time, submit-
ted to your Majesty's dovernment such practical measures of
alleviation as the relative situation of the mother country and
this colony seemed to justify.
" That your Majesty's Petitioners have ever had the firmest
reliance upon your Majesty's paternal solicitude for the welfare
of every part of the empire. .
" That your Majesty's Petitioners instantly recognized thiS
solicitude in the measures which have been submitted to the-
Parliament of Great Britain, for perinitting an intercourse be-
tween these colonies and the ports of katrope and America.—
measures inadequate indeed to the extremity of existing wants;
but (if accompanied, as the actual relations between the
mother country and your Majesty's West India colonies de,
mand, by a reservation of the exclusive right to supply the
home market with the staple produce of these colonies), be•
stowing perhaps all the advantages which the distresses of the
mother country can afford.
" That your Majesty's Petitioners received the intelligence
Of the proposed benefit with the deepest sense of gratitude.
" That your Majesty's Petitioners have learned with propor-
tionate dismay that this benefits not to be immediately ex-
tended to this colony.
" That this exclusion, conveying to other more favoured
islands (some of which do not bear, as this colony does, the par-
tial imposts of 41 per cent. on all exported produce), the boon
which your Majesty's Petitioners had vainly considered as in-
tended for them also, is a direct aggravation of the evils which
oppress them, inasmuch as the supplies of the foreign markets
in this immediate vicinity, which are now at a fearful cost in-
deed, to be procured, will be limited, or transferred to the more
remote British free ports.
" That as the head of an important Government—distin-
guished by its unvarying loyalty and attachment to the Mo-
narch, and impoverished by the visitation of adverse ele-
ments, and by the general causes which depreciate the
value of West Indian produce—this colony is humbly re-
presented to your Majesty as having at least an equal tole
with any other (and, if misfortune may be allowed to give it,
a better title than any other) to be admitted to a participation
of the advantages which the new system proposes.
" Your Majesty's Petitioners therefore most humbly pray,
that your Majesty would be most graciously pleased to extend
to this suffering and exhausted island those advantages, of
which the immediate enjoyment can alone avert its utter ruin,
according to the power reserved to your Majesty in Council
by the provision of the Acts of Parliament that may in such
case be made and provided.
" And your Majesty's Petitioners will ever pray."

COUNTRY MARKETS AND FAIRS,

DURING TILE LAST WEER.

LIVERPooLCORNEXCIIANGE, June 25.

The import of all kinds of Grain during the week was con-
siderably less than the preceding one, yet it causes very little
activity in trade.- The sales of wheat to-day were principally
of the best quality of old English and new Irish, and those
generally to the town's dealers, who bought sparingly at last
week's prices ; the middling and inferior qualities are scarcely
looked at, although at the lowest ebb of depression. All
kinds of Spring Grain support their prices, but no advance
was realized on either Barley or Oats. The holders of Malt
were asking higher prices, but could not attain their object.
Beans had a farther rise of 2s per quarter, and good sound
Flour was also is to 2s per pack dearer.

THUNDER-STORM AT PRESTON.—On Sunday,
23d ult., the town of Preston was visited by a
very severe thunder-storm, during which the
lightning set on lire the warehouse of Messrs.
Catterell and Co. The electric fluid struck one
of the chimney-pipes, and then descended to the
lower part of the premises, setting fire in its pro-
gress to some cotton, the flames from which im-
mediately communicated to the building,and the
whole would certainly have been destroyed, but
for the timely assistance afforded by the engines
belonging to the Royal Exchange Assurance
Company. The loss was confined to the destruc-
tion of the roof, together with a quantity of dry
timber, and a number of models of machinery, in
value, altogether, about 400/. The property
was insured.

Immediately on the termination of the present
sittings in the Courts of Westminster, the erection
of the intended New Courts will commence. In
consequence of alterations contemplated in the
Court of Exchequer, the business of that Court
will be transacted elsewhere, and for that pur-
pose a short Act of Parliament will be intro-
duced during the present session.
