SAMUEL NOTTLEY'S BANKRUPTCY.

This day was appointed for the adjourned exami-
nation of the bankrupt, who is described as a cho-
colate manufacturer, and the choice of assignees.
The case is rather a novel one. The petitioning
creditor is a relative, but after the Commissioner
had heard the claim it was disallowed, partly on the
ground of usurious interest obliged to have been
paid for money lent to the bankrupt, and partly as
it was contended the claimant was a partner, she
having received profits of trade. The bankruptcy
has been going on for some time without assignees
being appointed, a petition having been presented
to the Court of Review by the bankrupt to super-
sede the fiat, and the petitioning creditor has also
presented a petition for allowing her to prove her
debt. Until these petitions are disposed of, the
proceedings under the fiat cannot be gone into, and
the Court, having heard the actual state of things,
adjourned the examination of the bankrupt and the
choice of assignees.

PRICES of FLOUR and BREAD i►LFRANCE.

The highest price of wheaten flour of the first quality
at Paris is 46 francs the 159 kilogrammes, which answers
to 1/, 9s. the English sack of 2801 b. ; and the highest
price of wheaten flour, of the first quality, in London, is
21. 10s. the sack. It therefore appears that wheaten flour
is 72 2-sths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris,
and that with the sum of 21. 101. a man may buy 4831 i,.
of fine flour at Paris, whereas with the same sum he can
only buy 2801 b. in London.

The highest price of wheat of the first quality at Paris
is 16 francs the hectolitre, which is equivalent to
1/. 16s. Bd. the quarter of 8 bushels imperial measure,
and the highest price of wheat of the first quality in
London is Si. the quarter. It therefore appears that
wheat is 63 3 sths per cent. dearer in London than in
Paris, and that with the sum of 31. a man may buy
13 1-11th bushels of wheat of the first quality at Parie,
whereas with the same sum he can only buy 8 bushels in
London.

The price of Ns beaten bread of the best quality at Paris
is 11 sous per 41b., which is equal to 4 11-16 J. for the
English loaf of 41b. ; and the price of bread, of the second
quality, is 8 sous per 41h., which is equal to 3 7-16,1. the
English loaf of 41b. The price of wheaten bread in Lon
don, at the high priced bakers', is 81J. the loaf of 41b.,
and at the low priced bakers' it is Id. the loaf of 41b. ;
and, therefore, if we compare the price of bread of the first
quality at Paris with the price of Sid. charged by
high priced bakers in London, then bread is 81 1-3 d per
cent. dearer in London than in Paris; and if we compare
it with the price of Id., charged by the low priced bakers
in London, then bread is 49 1-3 d per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris. The first quality of French flour
and bread is greatly superior to English flour and bread of
the first quality.
In other parts of France the prices of Flour and Wheat
are still lower than at Paris; thus at Cambray, for in-
stance, the price of wheaten flour of the first quality, is
26 francs per 101 kilogrammes,which answers to 1/. 55.9 d.
the English sack of 2801., and the price of wheaten flour
of the second quality, is 23 francs per 101 kilogrammes,
which answers to 1/. 2s. 9J. the English sack of 2801 h.
the price of wheat at Cambray ranges from 12 francs to
15 francs 50 cents. the hectolitre, which answers to
1/. Is. 6d., and 11. 15s. 6d. the English quarter of eight
bushels imperial measure.
The price of wheat of the first quality at Rochefort is
15 francs to 15 francs 75 cents. the hectolitre, which an-
swers to 11. 15s. and 11. 15s. 9d. the English quarter of
eight bushels imperial measure.

Another destructive fire occurred on Monday
night a short distance front Uxbridge, on the London
road. Three stacks of wheat, and a shed which contained
several agricultural implemems, were burned down to the
ground. The latter was insured, but the stacks will be
a total loss. The property belongs to Mr. Nicholson, of
Uxbridge, who was a sufferer last winter by a similar cir-
cumstance.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 5.
—Our Cotton Market has been very flat, and the trans-
actions only extend to 500 bags, chiefly in American,
at 711 d. a 9d. One house in Manchester has taken
yestetday and to-day 1,500 a 2,000 Surats, at 64d. a
74ttl. per lb.

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOV. 5.
Duling the past week the winds continued unfavourable
for arrivals of grain, and the demand was very limited and
languid here up to Friday, on which day the wind became
decidedly:west ; and we have since had very large supplies
of Wheat, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal (particularly of
Wheat) from Irel Ind, sales of which have been effected
here, and in Manchester on Saturday only to a very
moderate extent, at a small decline in prices. The duty
on Wheat from foreign ports is this week increased Is. per
quarter, 71d. per barrel on Flour, and le. 6d. per quarter
on Beans; on Peas it is decreased is. Gd. per quarter;
on other grain no alteration. No particular transactions
have occurred in bonded Grain or Flour, and the prices'
thereof remain as last noted. The supplies to this day s
Market, although to a considerable extent, were not so
large as anticipated; and many cargoes being withheld
from present sale the display of samples of fine qualities
was very limited. There was a fair attendance of millers
and dealers, who bought to a moderate extent for their
immediate wants of Wheat at a decline of Id. to 2d. per
70/b., of Oats at a decline of about id. per 45 lb., and
of Flour and Oatmeal at about 6d. per sack lower; for
all other articles there was very little demand, at a small
decline, but not sufficient to alter general quotations.
