DUMFRIES MARKETS.—Oct. 15.

The news of the fall of Wheat at Mark-lane, had some
effect on our market to-day; the shippers were anxious to
buy, but the holders fought shy, and but little business
was done at the following prices

CATTLE MARKET.—This was our first show for Hemp-
.

ton Green fair, and of course the Sands exhibited a very
full complement of all kinds and sizes of cattle. To gain
an entirely correct account of the numbers exposed during
the course of the day would be impossible, but we may
venture to give the following as a pretty sure statement of
the number upon the Sands betwixt the hours of one and
two—viz. 863 three-year olds and upwards ; 804 two-
years-olds ; 763 stirks ; 240 highlanders ; 134 queys and
heifers; 31 cows and 2 bulls—total, .2,863. From this
it will be observed that the number exposed was not even
so great as last week ; but We can thus account for it—the
market at an early hour in the morning was considerably
thronged with small cattle, and by the regular time for the
show being at its maximum in point of numbers, the greater
part of these had been sold and driven off; therefore we
think that we may safely state the numbers exposed
throughout the day at 3,600. Galloways, as usual, con-
stituted the majority of the cattle brought forward, and
taken as a whole, they were certainly a most excellent
show; hitherto the show of Irish cattle at this market
tas generally been confined to stirks of th,t poorest
description, but to-day the case was altered, and
we observed on the Sands a few lots of Irish
queys and drove beasts in excellent condition. Deal-
ing in drove cattle commenced early, indeed we
may say with the appearance of the first lot in the market,
and continued briskly throughout the day, and by four
o'clock in the afternoon, with the exception of a lot of
Irishers, and two or three small lots of Galloway's, all
were sold off. As to prices it is quite a different question,
we must be content with stating those of only a feW lots,
but from these we are generally able to form a pretty cor-
rect criterion of the rates of the rest. The second best
lot in the market sold for a few shillings better than 121. ;
another, 11 guineas ; a third, I 11. 4s. ; two-years-olds
sold at from 101. to SI. The small cattle formed a most
excellent show, and at least three-fourths were disposed of ;
the best lot of two-years-olds brought 71. 17s. ; another,
which was reared in this neighbourhood, sold for 71. •
from this they varied to 41. 10s. Stills sold at all prices
from 61. to 30s. Queys and Heifers met with an equally
quick sale, and prices were fair; a lot of Galloways brought
71., and one of Irishers sold for 109. less. The transac-
tions in small cattle were evidently satisfactory ; some job-
hers semed to be displeased with the rates of the market,
but this is a constant practice with them, and they would
do so under any circumstances. On the whole, the mar-
ket, for all kinds of cattle, may be considered an excel-
lent one.
pics.—We had an excellent supply•of Pigs, sales we're
good, and prices the same as last week.

HAAIBURGH CORN MARKET.—Ocr. 17.

Such of our arrivals of Wheat during the last week as
were of a quality fit far exportation, have been of ready
sale at the prices quoted ; in consequence of the state of
the London market, our own consumers continue back-
ward. Of Rye we received but little—that little, how-
ever, was readily taken by our own consumers. Barley
continues in demand, but with few arrivals. In Oats our
arrivals have been considerable,, prit,cipally, however, of
this year's growth, and too light for exportation ; heavy
samples are scarce, and of ready sale. Pease, Bean:,
Tares, and Rapeseed, continue in demand.—During
the
first ten days of the present' month 66 cargois of Corn
passed through the Sound ; of these thirty were bound to
British, twelve to Dutch, and twelve to French ports ;
one to Bremen, one to the Canary Islands, and otrixtod

Yesterday Mr. COPELAND was sworn in at
Guildhall as one of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex.
He was much agitated upon entering the hustings, and
seemed to suffer pain ; but he recovered his spirits before
he bad been in the hall five minutes, and he loudly repeated
the oaths after the Town Clerk. It was considered a dar-
ing thing to venture upon such an exertion after a thirty-
five days' fever. When the ceremony was at an end, Air.
COPELAND appeared to have rallied completely.
