KINGSTOWN HARBOUR LIGHTS, EAST COAST

OF IRELAND.
The Corporation for preserving and improving the
Port of Dublin, hereby give notice, that on and after the
Ist of October next, the light hitherto shown from the
Timber Building on the east pier of Kingstown Harbour,
Dublin Bay, will be discontinued, and a light exhibited
from the 'rower built on the Pier-head, which will
thenceforth be illuminated every night from sunset to
sunrise.
Specification given of the position and appearance of the
Tower, &c., by Mr. Halpin, the Inspector of Light-
houses:—
" The New Tower is in lat. 53 18 10 N., and long.
C 7 45 W., and bears from north end of Kish Bank,
N.W. by W. 4 W., distant 6,t sea miles; from south
end of Burford Bank, W. by N. N., distant 31 S'''s
miles; from Poolbeg Lighthouse,
an miles. 6. W., distant 2

" The Tower is erected in the centre of the Eastern
Pier-head—it is of circular form, as also the lower build-
ing around. The outer walling granite.
" The light will be at an elevation of thirty-seven feet
above the level of high water springs, and will, in
appearance, be similar to the present light, viz.:—a re-
volving light, presenting white and rt d faces alternately,
attaining their greatest brilliancy at equal intervals of
thirty seconds. The light will be shown in all directions
in which the present light has heretofore been 'visible;
kept open, it will lead clear of the Muglins Rocks.
" Until the erection of a light on the West Pier-head,
the small fixed red light in the temporary timber shed
on that pier will be continued as before.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Coastwise up to our market, last week, the arrivals of
English Wheat was somewhat on the increase, but by
to means extensive. Of all other articles of home pro-
duce the receipts were on a very limited scale, the nineof year considered. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely
any Corn came to hand ; but from abroad we received
33,483 quarters of Whear, 8.803 ditto of Barley, 47,529
ditto of Oats, and 11,177 barrels of Flour. From
Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire, as well as our other
grain districts, the arrivals of English Wheat up to our
market this morning, coastwise as well as by land car-
riage, and samples were very small, owing to which and
the increased attendance of both town and country millers,
many of whom were very short of stock, the demand
for,all descriptions of that article was somewhat active,
at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last of
from Is to 2a per quai ter, and at which most of the
Samples brought forward were disposed of ; hidet d, we
may ob,erve that the market closed firm. Notwith-
standing a very extensive quantity of Foreign Wheat
Was again brought forward, a fair average amount of
business was transacted at fully last week's currencies.
In some few instances the very finest Dantzic was held
at a rise iu value of Is per quarter. The general qua-
lity of the foreign Wheat was by no means first rate.
For the best malting Barley the demand was very
steady, and late rates were supported in most transac-
tions. Grinding and distilling sorts were, however,
much neglected, though we cannot call them cheaper.
The bulk of the English supply was de-
cidedly good, both in colour and condition.
With Malt we were again scantily supplied ; neverthe-
less, the Malt trade was in a very sluggish state, at
but little, it any, variation in the quotations. The
supply of English Oats was very scanty, that of foreign
very large. Selected parcels were mostly disposed of
at lute figures ; but the out-ot-condition sorts declined
6d. per quarter, without much progress being made in
sales. Indian Corn and Meal were in moderate request,
chiefly for feeding purposes, and full prices were pail
in every instance. There was a steady inquiry for
Beans, and late rates were firmly supported. The sale
for all kinds of Peas was steady, and some of the
holders refused to sell even at extreme figures. The
Flour trade was steady, and the prices paid on this day
aennight were realised without difficulty.

At the outports the arrivals (mostly from liamburgh
and Rotterdam) have comprised nearly 2.200 head of
each kind of stuck, the quality of which has been by no
means first-rate. The supply of foreign stock here, to-
day, was again extensive, viz., 964 Oxen and Cows,
3,800 Sheep and Lambs, 110 Calves, and 20 Pigs. All
breeds, the condition of which was very inferior, met a
very slow inquiry, at barely last week's quotations, and
a total clearance was not effected. Fur the time of
year the arrivals of Beasts fresh up from our various
grazing districts, were good as to numbers, but very
deficient in quality. The attendance of both town and
country buyers being large, the primest Scots, Here-
fords, runts, &c., command, d a steady sale, at fully, but
at nothing quotable beyond, the prices obtained on this
day s'ennight, the former breed producing 4s Gd per
albs without difficulty ; but the middling and inferior
kinds of Beef moved off heavily, at barely late rates.
The bullock droves and railway receipts from the nor-
thern grazing districts, consisted of about 1,600 short-
horns. From the western, midland, and eastern coun-
ties, we received 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, short-.
horns, and Scots, from other parts of England 600 of
various breeds ; and from Scotland, 200 horned and
polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were moderately
good, but their general quality was indifferent. Com-
paratively speaking, the Mutton trade was in a sluggish
state, at Friday's decline in value of 2d per 81bs. The
highest figure for the best old Downs did not exceed
5a 2d per 81bs, and a total clearance was with difficulty
effected. The primest Calve? were in steady request, at
full prices ; but all other kinds of Veal commanded
very little attention. Scarcely any Pigs have been on
offer in this market from Ireland for some time past ;
but the supply of English has been tolerably extensive,
and of full average quality. Tu-day the Pork trade
VMS rather inactive, yet prices were supported. The
foreign Pigs were in wretched condition, and scarcely
fit for consumption.

Up to these markets, since Monday last, the arrivals
Of country-killed have been on the increase, but of very
middling quality. With meat slaughtered in the metro-
polis we have been seasonably well supplied. Prime
Beef, Mutton, and Pork, from their scarcity, have com-
manded a steady sale, at full prices. All other kinds of
meat have met a very dull inquiry, at barely late rates.
Not less than 3,800 carcasses of foreign meat have ap-
peared on sale in miserably bad condition, and which
have sold at very low currencies.

BONLOpGI3 AND SPITAIMIELDS.
A few arrivals of Potatoes have taken place since
Monday last from Yorkshire and Kent. Although the
demand cannot be considered active, a good business bag
been doing at from 110 s to 120 s per ton for York Re-
gents ; 108 s to 1103 for Shaws ; and 100 s to 105 s for
Kent Whites.
BOROUGH 110 P MARILET.
Our market still continues in a very inactive state for
all kinds of new hops—ttie supply of which is almost
daily increasing—and, in most instances, the quotations
have a downward tendency. Yearling and old Hops are
almost nominal in value. The duty iscalled from 170,0001.
