whose head 5001. had been offered was force 3d to accept
the office of Attorney-General in the colon ies. All the
rebels were furnished with the best situatioi is they could
get; and when Mr. Meagher anticipated the return of
Mr. Mitchel from transportation he had v. perfect right
to do so; and from beginning to end, however wrong it
would be to rescue any man, it was not :high treason;
and even if they had rescued him on the quay, and
dragged him out of the van, he could not have been pro-
secuted for treason. The Learned Counsel then read
the letter written by Mr. Meagher in reference to his
visit to Cork, and his intention to go to America. In
that letter there was a passage pregnant with treason—
namely, that "he forgot what the day of the week
was!" His client, no doubt, was a lean man, plotting,
like Cassius, the ruin of the Republic; and his treason
consisted in his forgetting the day of the -week. Then
the writer said that they had made a flat sing speech.
The Attorney-General hated such speeches, but had
they not lived on them in Ireland for twenty years, and
were they not their food and drink for years ? Then he
announced his intention of going to New York; and hero
was the grand levying of war on the field—a contem-
plated trip to America. This to be sure was to be held
by the force of construction as an intention to levy war
in Tipperary. The Attorney-General inninaated, or
stated, that the object of Mr. Meagher was to invoke the
sympathy of America in favour of Ireland. Had not the
American people given the Irish their sympattiy when they
were bowed down by famine; had they notfluitg provisions
upon their shores—and was the Attorney-General justi-
fied in saying that he intended invoking the sympathy of
the Americans to support an insurrectionary movement
in Ireland? They had a law book which said that "et
ceteras " wore full of meaning. Lord Coke had said so,
and he presumed that the profound wisdom of the Soli-
citor-General would prove that the "et ceteras " in the
letter of Mr. Thomas Francis Meagher meant that he
designed to kill the Queen, murder Prince .Albert, and
destroy the eldest child of her Majesty, and if they be-
lieved him, the jury would, of course, find his client
guilty. The letter written by Mr. Meagher to Mr.
Smith was written in 1847, when he was ill .at Belleville,
and it had as much reference to the insurrection in Ire-
land as to Ispahan. Was it then justifialite in the At-
torney-General to rake up that letter and bring it for-
ward as a proof of treason? The Learned Counsel then
explained the words used by the prisoner in his letter to
Mr. Smith, " don't forget France and the Revolution,"
and represented them to have been used in reference to
the " History of the Girondists," by Lamartine, a
copy of which he had given to Mr. Smith, and not to
the revolution which took place in the present year,
and consequently the passage could not have applied
to it.
At half-past six o'clock, Mr. WHITESIDE, addressing
the Court, said—My Lord, haring finished the written
evidence, may I ask you to adjourn, as I feel myself
to be much exhausted?
CHIEF JUSTICE—Very well, let the Court be ad-
journed.
Several persons in the gallery cheered the Learned
Counsel at the close of his address.
The CHIEF JUSTICE pointed to the gallery, where he
saw persons disturbing the Court, and the High Sheriff
desired the police to take any persons into custody who
gave expression to their feelings in a manner unbecom-
ing a court of justice.
The Court was then adjourned to Friday morning.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK.

John Donovan alias James Leary, was brought be-
fore Mr. Seeker for re-examination, charged, with
three other men not in custody, with assaulting and
robbing Mr. John Chambers, of Stace's-terrace, Park-
road, Old Kent road.
When the prisoner was placed at the bar Policeman
Wright, 63 M, stated that there was additional evi-
dence against him of a character that left no doubt as
to his having been one of the parties engaged in the
outrage and robbery.
It will be recollected that the complainant in walk-
ing home from the city, about eight o'clock in the
evening of Wednesday, the 11th instant, in passing
through the Willow-walk, Bermondsey, was suddenly
seized from behind by some person placing his hands
over his eyes, upon which he was immediately at-
tacked by three other men and robbed of his watch,
which was separated from the chain by the violence
of the pull. The moment his assailants effected the
robbery one of them struck him a blow on the
side of the head, which knocked him down, and
while he was lying on the ground they all ran away
in the direction of the Grange-road. He, however,
recovered himself, and went in pursuit, calling
" Stop thief," and they were observed by Policeman
Wright, who also joined i❑ the pursuit, but they
were lost sight of at the rear of Alfred-terrace, and
in the garden of one of the houses there the prisoner
was taken into custody, and in the adjoining ground
the complainant's watch was found. The prisoner
when apprehended assumed to be unconscious of what
had taken place.
John Surnam, a youth, was now examined, and he
stated that he was in the employ of Mr. Muller, a
surgeon, of Devonshire-place, and that on Wednes-
day evening as he was returning home he heard the
cry of " Police" from ;the Willow-walk. It being
moonlight at the time he looked in that direction, nod
saw a man down on the path, and four other men
stooping over him. He saw one man, who had no
whiskers, feeling about the !clothes of the man who
was down, and he saw some of their hands over his
eyes and race. Ile (witness) ran towards the Kent-
road, crying "Police," and he looked back and saw
the four men run from the Willow-walk towards the
Grange-road, and he followed them into the Queen's-
road ; and they all four got over a wall into the
garden of a house in Alfred-terrace. Witness then
gut on a high
,heap of dirt and saw three of them go
over the pailings which divided the gardens, and they
went away to the right ; and he then distinctly San
the prisoner go :towards the back of Mr. Mayer's
house. Shortly afterwards witness saw a pa-
liceman in a garden a few doors off, and he called to
him saying that one of the thieves was there—
pointing out the place. He (witness) then saw Mr.
Mayers come out of his house into his garden
seize the prisoner by the collar, and gave him into
the custody of the policeman. Witness then followed
them to the station-house and had no doubt at all that
the prisoner was the man he had seen feeling about
the complainant's clothes when he was lying on the
ground. He noticed at the time the prisoner had RO
whiskers, and that he was dressed in a sleeve-jacket,
similar to that which he then wore at the bar.
Jane Birge stated, that on the following morning
(Thursday) one of her children found the complain-
ant's watch in their garden, which is next to that in
which the prisoner was secured.
Holmes, a policeman, said that on the evening in
question he saw the prisoner and three others running
from the direction of the Willow-walk ; that he seized
the prisoner, but he broke away from him, and ran
towards the backs of the houses in Alfred. terrace.
John Wright, 63 M, stated, that he was present at
the Surrey sessions, in July, 1846, when the prisoner
was tried and convicted of felony in the name o
James Leary, and sentenced to seven years' tran
sportation.

The prisoner, who declined saving anything, was
committed.

THAMES.

William Brown, a German, who keeps a sailor's
lodging-house in the Back-road,C St. George's-in-the-
East, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with
assaulting Police-sergeant Hams, 21 K, and other
officers in the execution of their duty.
It appeared in evidence that two foreign seaman
had absconded from the Sylphide after robbing the
ship. They had been seen in Brown's house, and
Hams, accompanied by Captain Brandt, master of
the Sylphide, several police-constables, and an inter-
preter, went to the prisoner's house in search of the

thieves. Hams asked for the two men, and Brown,
who was rather tipsy, came down stairs and ordered
the intruders to withdraw. Hams mentioned his
business, on which Brown said, "No policeman
should search his house without a warrant. Hams
told him he did not require one, and was proceeding
to search for the thieves, when the prisoner went
down into the kitchen, and returned with 16 men,
principally foreign sailors. Some were armed with
knives and others with bludgeons. Brown made an
attack on Hams and knocked him down. This was the
signal for a general attack on the constables, who with
Captain Brandt, and the interpreter, were severely
maltreated. The lights were extinguished, and
Brown, after disabling Hams, left the house with his
lodgers and double-locked the street-door. Hams
and his party scrambled into the yard, and escaped
over a back wall. Brown was subsequently appre-
hended. Although the police, Captain Brandt, and
his party, were severely ill-used, the foreigners who
attacked them did not escape harmless, and some of
them received very heavy punishment.
Several witnesses deposed that the two thieves, who
had stolen a watch and money, had been in the house.
On the other hand, it was sworn by two men lodging
in Brown's house that they had not been there. These
men were recognised as principals in the affray, and
were armed with long knives at the time.

_
Mr. Pelham addressed the Bench for Brown, and
said, he was ignorant of our laws and customs, and
thought he was justified in repelling the intrusion of
the police when they came without a warrant.
Mr. YANDLIT said, a savage attack had been made
on the police in the execution of their duty, and if
Captain Brandt and his mate had not been about to
sail he should have committed Brown for trial. He
sentenced him to one month's imprisonment.

About a fortnight ago, as Mr. John Muir, book-
binder, was taking a walk on the Queen's Drive, toward
Duddingatone, he was accosted by an Irishman, named
William Best, who presented a pistol at his head, and
demanded delivery of his money. Mr. Muir having
firmly refused compliance, the fellow threatened to search
his person, but Mr. Muir having raised his stick to deal
him a blow, Best stepped aside, and desired him to pro-
ceed. When Mr. Muir had turned about, Best discharged
the pistol and made off, leaving Mr. Muir unscathed.
Nothing more was heard or seen of the fellow till yester-
day, when Mr. Muir recognised him on the North Bridge,
and immediately had him apprehended. A pistol,
heavily loaded, and some powder and balls were found
in his pockets, which he says he carried for amusement-
He has been remitted for examination.—,Edinburgh

From the returns made in the week ending October 17,
1848, is 235. 8N d. per cwt.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 20.)
&MAL—This afternoon the market was well supplied
with West India Sugar, the public sales consisted of
422 hhds and 84 brls, which went off with steadiness at
former low rates. Jamaica, middling yellow 35s to 365;
Tobago, good strong greyish brown 33s 6d; St.
Lucia, fine yellow 38s 6d to 40s, good 36s to 375,
low and mid yellow 34s to 35s 6d, low to good
grey 34s to 36s 6d, ord to fine brown 32s
to 345; 105 hhds Barbadoes went at the former value,
fine yellow 41s, good yellow 38s to 393, mid and good
mid 36s 6d to 37s 6d, low 35s per cwt. The total pur-
chases are 1,125 hhds, making 2,215 hhds, &c., for the
week, and thefall in prices for that time, in some cases,
6d per cwt. The market for raw Sugar, on the whole.
closes with a more favourable appearance. The only
public sale of Sugar declared to take place next week is
150 hhds of Barbadoes. The Dutch Trading Com-
pany has announced 36,000 baskets of Sugar for auction.
REIINED.—To-day home trade dealers purchased
with more readiness in refined goods, still no advance in
for
re
evaapluoertwataiosaviastib2i6 to e;
B2o6nsde6dd.Crushed Sugar is wanted
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius met with
little inquiry, and 445 bags 261 casks at auction were
mostly taken in at about the former value, good yellow
37s 6d to 38s, mid 35s 6d to 36s 6d, low yellow 34s to
34s 6d, low heavy grey 33s tid, syrupy brown 33s to 345;
a few lots sold at 325, and washed ditto 27s 6d to 29s 6d
per cwt.

Ea.s? INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was dealt
in with more readiness, and 5,420 bags at Auction were
all sold at full rates; fine grainy yellow went at 44s to
465, good 41s to 4!s, mid 38a to 395, and white ditto
46s to 49s for good and fine.
FOREIGN.—This afternoon there was little passing
privately in the Foreign Sugar market, and 50 hhds St.
Croix at auction went at steady rates—mid yellow
37s 6d to 38s, good 41s, fine 42s to 42s 6d per cwt. The
operations by private treaty in Foreign Sugar for the
week are a cargo of white Bahia 20s 6d; one of Maroim
at the same rate; 200 chts white Bahia 265; 250 Brown
do 15s 6d to 15s 9d; 300 very fine yellow Havannah 23s
to 23s 6d; and 400 chests, duty paid, 39s 6d per cwt; a
cargo of low white Bahia.at 18s 6d, in bond.
MOLASSES.—To-day West ludia met with a better
demand; the sales for the week are 600 puns. Deme-
rara, St. Kitts, Trinidad, and Porto Rico at 16s; old
Berbice 14s, which is not the former value.
Cossoa..—Foreign is still little wanted, and can be ob-
tained upon lower terms, whilst at auction 365 bags of
Guayaquil, and 109 bags of Bahia were all taken in at
30s per cwt. There has been no public sale of British
Plantation, and privately little business has been con-
cluded. We quote Trinidad at 37s to 435, and other
sorts 35s to 41s per cwt. There is a fair stock here.
COFFEE.—This afternoon a public sale of 1,088 bags
of Ceylon went off flatly, and a small portion only sold
at barely the former value. Plantation mid 44s 6d to 455,
low mid 425, good ord 395, damaged 29s to 41s, native
ditto 22s 6d to 24s 6d; sound was all withdrawn ;
12 casks and 10 bags Jamaica went at the former
value. 3,864 bags Costa Rica, a part only found
buyers at former rates—fine ord 30s 6d to 325, fine fine
ord 33s 4d to 37a, sea-damaged 21s 6d to 31s 6d, low
mid sound was taken in at 43s to 453, and country
damaged 32s to 358. Privately 2,000 bags of St. Do-
mingo sold for the week at 26s 6d to 27s for good and
fine ordinary. For auction on Tuesday 500 bags of
Plantation Ceylon, and for Wednesday 6,200 bags of
Costa Rica Coffee are declared.

Tam.-Notwithstanding the largo deliveries for home
consumption, still the dulness in the market has in-
creased this week, and prices hare a downward tendency
for both black and green. By private treaty the pur
chases made hare been of little moment. None has been
imported since this day week. The trade operated with
reluctance at the public sales, although a desire was
manifested by some of the merchants to realise. Of
16,400 pkgs offered, only 4,200 actually found pur-
chasers, and generally at rather lower rates—lmperial,
good middling and middling went at is 6d to is 9:3d,
but mid is is 0,-}d to is 3d ; Gunpowder, good mid 2s
fild to 2s iid, but mid is oid to is I lid ; Flowery Pe-
koe, mid is Id to is lid; Souchong, mid is <lid to Is
6fd; Hyson, good and fine 2s 8d to 2s 10d, good ord
Is to is ()id; Scented Orange Pekoe, mid is 3d to is
4id ; Caper, but raid 9d; Young Hyson, but mid is ld
to is 2d per lb. Fine Hyson was the most difficult of
sale.

Rms.—To-day there was not a better demand for
East India Rico, and at auction 831 bags went rather
cheaper:—Ceylon, good pearl barley 8s to 8s 6d, and
damaged 5s to 8s; white Bengal was taken in at 13s to
14s 6d per cwt. 150 brig Tapioca sold at 7d to Sid per
lb fur good and fine sound white.
SPICES.—BIack Pepper is offered upon previous low
terms, yet the amount of business concluded has been of
little moment in the private market. At auction 1,480
bags were only in part disposed of. White met with
more attention, still prices do aot improve. The
parcels offered at public sale were all sold, and
amounted to 420 bags—middling and good middling
realised 4d to 4d. Pod is dull of sale at 303 to
60s per cwt, Cayenne Is 2d to 2s. The public sales of
250 packages Jamaica Ginger went off at full rates, and
the whole sold. Of Galicia 641 cases went at moderate
rates. Of Cassia Lignea the quantity here is still
scanty, and nearly all in dealers' hands ; buyers,
in consequence, are compelled to pay the high
rates of 90$ to 1003 for trifling quantities ; Cas-
sia Buds are dull of sale, at 68s to 725. In Cinnamon
there has been little passing, and prices tend downwards.
The quarterly sale has been fixed for the 39th Oct.
Cloves are in fair request, and holders show firmness;
the value of Ansboyna is 9d to Is, Bencoolen is 3d to
2s, Bourbon and African, 6fd to Id. Mace is little
wanted; prices are on the decline. Brown Nutmegs
continue to be wanted, and prices rule firm. For limed
there is not much demand, and Is 6d to 3s is the value
of low to fine. Pimento is in small supply, and is wanted
at 40. to sd. None was offered at public sale this week.
SPIRITS.—A further reduction is apparent in the
value of Leeward Island Rum, and the dealings have been
of little moment. The operations are only 100 puns at
Is 5d to 1 6d per gallon for proof, and small parcels of
good quality
.at is 6id. East India met with little atten-
tion in the private market, and 200 casks at auction were
for the most part taken in at Is 5d to Is rid proof. Fine
Jamaica wanted, but the sales made in all other sorts
have been limited for home consumption and exporta-
tion. There is a desire manifested to sell 28 to 30 per
cent. over proof of ordinary quality at 3s to 3s 6d
30 to 34, mid and good 3s 3d to 3s sd, good middling'
and good 3s 6d to 3s 9d, fine 33 to 38 over 3s 10d to
4s 2d, choice marks 4s 3d to 4s Gd. Demerara is not
much wanted, and strong sorts can be obtained at from
2s 2d to 2s 9d for 26 to 38 per cent. over proof.
The deliveries of Brandy continue to get larger, and the
stock smaller. Prices are firm and a good demand exists.
Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1146 at 4s 10d to ss,
1147 ditto at 3s 10d to 4s, inferior 3s to 3s 6d, Bordeaux
2s 2d to 2s 4d. For Geneva the market is quiet at 2s to 2s
Id for ord export sort, and at 2s 6d to 3s 6d for fine fit for
ditty. Of British made Gin some parcels have been
purchased for oar Colonies this week at 3s per gallon
proof strength. Tho duty upon the importation therein
is 3s 6d.
INDIGO.--To-day during the progress of the sale 210
chests wero withdrawn, and 797 have passed the
sale. The sale has been very uneven, and upon
the whole less animated than on the preceding
days. The prices of consuming sorts are about
the same as quoted in our previous report, but those of
shipping sorts are about 3d lower, and range now from
the last sale's prices to 3d advance. There was neither
Madras or Kurpahs in the catalogue of this day.
About 1,800 chests remain for sale next week. This
afternoon at auction 128 serons Guatemala wont at is Yd
to 2a lid, and at 3s 2d to 3s 6d for better quality.
SALTPETRE.—Prices have not improved for rough,
but there has been a good business concluded by private
treaty upon full terms. At auction 430 bags were sold,
fine grey 4 per cent refraction at 26s to 26s 6d, good
strong yellow 9i per cent 24s 6d to 245, not refracted
25s to 25s 6d, and damaged 22s Gd per cwt. Nitrate of
Soda is not much wanted, and can be obtained at 12s 6d
to 13s per cwt.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon Cochineal was in full
demand, and 70 bags of Honduras at auction sold at 3s
7d to 3s 10d for good ord to mid silvers, and which are
lower rates by full ld to 2d.
TALLOW.—This afternoon the market for P.Y.C. was
brisker, and 451 is the value of fine new on the spot. At
auction 130 casks of Sydney sold at 42s to 45s 6d per cwt.
OlLS.—This afternoon at public sale 130 hhds of fine
Cochin Cocoa Nut Oil were taken in at 41s 9d to 42s
per cwt.

TUE Youtia CouNTEss.—The announcement of
Mrs. Trollope's new novel, entitled " The Young
Countess," has created considerable speculation in
fashionable circles, as to whether or not some member
of their body has afforded the author a subject for her
imagination as well as a title to her book. As it is
well known that there is more than one " Young
Countess" in the Peerage, whose story, if cleverly writ-
ten, would be extremely interesting to the general reader,
these speculations way not be altogether idle. The ap-
pearance, however, of the book, which is to lake place
immediately, will 690111940 the problem.--Even, paper.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.
The duties on foreign corn have not varied this week,
but on wheat will most likely be Is. per quarter higher on
Friday next. The prevalence of strong adverse winds
have kept out supplies, and since Tuesday there are re-
ported only 159 quarters of wheat, 174 quarters of bar-
ley, 15 quarters of malt, 2,227 quarters of oats, 10
quarters of beans, 2,065 loads of oatmeal, 386 sacks of
flour from Ireland and the English coast, and 2,885
quarters of wheat, 220 quarters of barley, 200 quarters
of rye, and 388 quarters of 'peas, from foreign ports ;
the exports in the same time amounting to 560 quarters
of wheat, 137 quarters of oats, 466 quarters of rye, 312
quarters of beans, 10,221 quarters of Indian corn, 658
barrels of corn meal, 458 sacks and 350 barrels of flour.
The weather is beautifully fine, but unusually cold for
the season ; following the late excessive rains, however,
it must be of immense advantage in improving the con-
dition of the land, and of the crops which were put to-
gether in a damp state. The trade since Tuesday has
been quiet, without any material change in prices ;
holders, however, have shown less eagerness to sell, and
the tendency has been towards improvement. At this
day's market there was a fair attendance of dealers, and
a moderate consumptive demand was experienced for
wheat, at the extreme prices of Tuesday, for both old
and new. Oats and oatmeal a slow sale, without any
alteration in prices. For barley, beans, and peas few
buyers appeared, and the value of each was unchanged.
Flour was heavy at previous rates, 445. per sack being
about the top price for Irish, and 30s. 6d. per barrel for
Western Canal. The demand for Indian corn was less
active than in the past two days, but prices were Is. to
is. 6d. per 4801 b. higher for sound qualities of yellow.

NEWBURY CORN MARKET.-TLIURSDAY.
The supply of wheat to-day was only moderate, but
by far the larger portion being damp, and weathered
descriptions of new, there was an extremely slack drag-
ging trade at a depression of 2s. to Ss. per quarter on
all except the very finest new and old wheat, which met
a fair sale at Is. to 2s. per quarter less than the rates of
last week. Barley, some quantity on offer, but our
maltsters finding it does not work well, are inclined to
wait; consequently we had but little sold, at Is. to 2s. per
quarter less than last week. Beans, peas, and oats, with
a short supply, support late rates. Wheat-Old white,
60 to 63 lbs. per bushel, 60s. to 663. per quarter; ditto,
59 to 60 lbs., 565. to 625.; new white, 62 to 65 lbs., 58s.
to 615.; ditto, 60 to 62 lbs., 575. to 615.; old red, 62 to
63 lbs., 565. to 645. ; ditto, 60 to 62 lbs., 50s. to 565. ;
new red, 63 to 65 lbs., 545. to 595.; ditto, 60 to 63 lbs.,
445. to 525. Barley-Chevalier fine new, 52 to 54 lbs.,
325. to 345. ; ditto, 50 to 52 lbs., 27s to 31s. ; malting,
50 to 52 lbs., 275. to 315.; grinding, 265. to 28s. Oats-
Fine old, 245. to 26e.; new Tartarian, 255. to 265.; black,
255. to 28s. ; Poland and Dutch, 28s. to 30s. Beans-
Old, 445. to 485.; new, -s. to -s. Peas-Boilers, 40s.

Winter, 7s. to Bs. 6d. per bushel. Malt-Fine Cheva-
lier, 60s. to 64e.; common, 625. to 58e.; Porter, 50s. per

.seconds, 405.; inrerior and thirds, 28s. to 303. per sack.
LLANERcHTMEop.-At this market, held last Wed-
nesday, the average price of wheat was from 525. to 545.;
barley, 30s. to 32e.; oats, 19s. to 205., per quarter. At
the butchers' stalls beef was sold at from 4id. to 5d.;
veal, sd. to 6d.; mutton, 6i. to 7d. per pound; young
pigs sold at from 10s. to 125.; store ditto, 20s. to
each; fat ditto, 3d. to 3id. per pound; geese, 2s. 6d.
to 3s. each; fowls, Is. Gd. to Is. dd. per couple.
RUTHIN, OCT. 16.--The attendance to-day was not so
numerous as on many occasions, and hollers were more
ready to sell than buyers willing to purchase, unless at
a slight reduction in the figures since last week. Old
wheat was more inquired after than now, but very little
of the former makes its appearance in the market. The
average price of wheat to day would be from 18s. to 19s.
per hobbet.
CARNARVON, OCT. 14.-Our market this day pre-
sented an animated appearance. The attendance or
dealers and consumers was good, which, with the excel-
lent show of consumptive articles caused an enhance-
ment in the prices obtained the previous week. Old
wheat, 60s. to 625. ; new ditto, 575. to 58s. ; old barley,
325. to 345. ; new ditto, 30s. to 31s. ; best oats, 225. to
23.. ; inferior ditto, 19s. to 21s. In butchers' meat
there had been a considerable depression in prices, since
our last quotation :-Beef, 4d. to 6d. ; mutton, 52d. to
6d. ; veal, 3d. to sd. ; pork, sd. to 6d. Ducks, 2s. 6(1
per couple ; fowls, 2s. per couple. Eggs, twelve for 6d.

ROTHERHAM, OCT. 16.-The show of both beasts
and sheep was again large. The attendance of buyers
being good, caused the beef trade to be brisk, yet at the
close part was left on hand. Of mutton, a dull sale, and
prices hard to make. Beef, 6s. to 6s. 6d. per stone; mut-
ton, 6(1. per lb.
DERBY, OCT. 17.-The show of fat beasts to-day was
exceedingly good, although some of the animals were
only of the middling sort; purchasers were slack in their
biddings, and there were many left unsold. The sheep
pens were well filled, and the quality generally was
good. Fat pigs plentiful. Beef, sd. to 5f I.; mutton,
to 6d.; Pork, 9s. 6d. to 10s. per score; rough fat,
4s. 6d. per stone; hides, lid. per lb.; calf skins 2d

to 6(1. per lb.
BARTON, OCT. 16.-A great number of beasts, but of
inferior quality, and a short supply of sheep. Prices:-
Beef, 6s. to Os. 6d. per stone; mutton, 6d. per lb. Business
being rather dull, part of the beasts remained unsold.
SALFORD, OCT. 18.-We had only a very moderate
show of stock, whether as it regards number or quality.
Good beef therefore in demand and fully as dear, and
prime mutton the same. A fair clearance made of mid-
dling and superior stock before the close of the market.
NEWCASTLE, OCT. 11.-There has been a seasonable
large supply of all kinds of stock on offer here to-day.
As a whole the quality was very indifferent, more espe-
cially that of cattle. The number of fat beasts exhibited
for sale was 536. Good steers for shipping puri.oses
were in active request, and sold freely at our quotations;
all other kinds underwent little alteration from last
week, and a good clearance was effected at the close of
business; thirty-eight very good Kyloos and short-horn
heifers for slaughtering were bought by Messrs. Wood,
fleshers, Berwick-upon-Tweed. The supply of sheep
and lambs would be about 4855 head. The mutton trade
underwent a decided improvement from last week.
Prices had an upward movement, and all sold. Also an
improved demand for lambs. Pork is in brisk demand,
but small pigs are slow sale. Prices.-Beasts, Gs. to 6s.
9(1. per atone of 14Ibs•' sheep, 53(1. to Is. a head below
6d.; lambs, 6(1. per Ib; pork, 7s. per stone of 141bs,

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 16.-At our market this day we
had 1975 beasts and 6886 sheep. Both beef and mut-
ton were in very sharp demand, and the market was
quite cleared very early in the day. Beef from to
kid., mutton from 6d. to 60. per lb.
NEWARK, OCT. 17.-The fat market was well sup-
plied with beasts and sheep, and very heavy sales at a
reduction. Beef, from 6s. to 6s. 9d. per stone; mutton,
sd. to 8(1. per lb. Beasts, 90; sheep, 540.
NEWpORT, OCT. 18.-Price per lb. to sink the offal:-
Beasts, 5(1. to 50.; sheep, 6d. to 64-d.; calves, 60. to
7(1.; pigs (score), 9s. 6d. to 10s. 6d. We had an abun-
dant supply of stock at market this week, particularly of
sheep. Beasts of good quality sold readily, and a clear-
ance was nearly effected. Store cattle were rather a
drug. There appeared a decline in the prices of sheep,
yet a fair business was done. Calves are scarce, good
veal selling at high rates. There were several good
pens of pigs, the whole sold before the close of the
market. No horses appeared. There has been exhi-
bited this week a winnowing machine, on an improved
principle, by Mr. Howard, of Bedford, which has much
attracted the attention of the farmer-, and which it is
likely will be generally used through this part of the
country,

SALISBURY.--At Salisbury Michaelmas Fair, on Tues-
day last, the quantity of cheese pitched was full 20 tons
less than last year, yet the sale was remarkably dull at

onion fair was very liberally supplied, and the trade was
brisk. The very best samples sold at 4d. per gallon, and
from ss. $9 6s. 61 per auk of 20 gallons, noru

I THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
WAKEFIELD, FRIDAY.
The reported arrival of wheat is good, yet having no
south vessels here there is not a good show of new; the
prices of last week are generally exceeded, and the de-
mand toles ably extensive. No change in the value of
barley, but the common qualities go off slowly. Oats
and shelling make prices equal to those of this day week.
Beans and other articles without change.
