COUNTRY CORN MARKETS.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Oct. 27.
We had a fair supply of Wheat from the farmers this
morning, but the condition was not improved ; old Wheat
was in consequence Is. per quarter, and dry new, Is. to 2s.
per quarter dearer than last week. The maltsters having
got relieved from the obnoxious Excise regulations, the
sale for Malting Barley is brisk at an advance of 2s. per
quarter. We had again a large arrival of Oats from the
Continent, and prices of both old and new may be noted
Is. per quarter cheaper. The following were the current
prices in this market to-day :

THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)
CORN-EXCHANGE.
Last week's supplies of English Grain were small, but
of Foreign Oats and English Flour the arrival was fair.__
This morning's supplies were inconsiderable. There is a
free demand for good dry Wheat at Is. to 2s. per quarter
-rare than on this day se'nnight, but in other qualities
the re is no improvement. Malting Barley has advanced
Is. rer qr. ; but the trade is not lively, as our Maltsters
still hesitate about working freely. Beans are 2s. per qr.
higher than on Monday last, and Pease are ls. to 2s. per
quarter dearer. The Oat,'ltrade continues languid at last
'Monday's quotations—the sales to-day were very small.
The Flour trade remains lively at late prices.

DERBYSHIRE SESSIONS.

111arag Orelen,: aged 8, was triad for wilfully
abandoning'her childi only five months .old, and ex-
posing it on the turnpike road at. Mensham.
It appeared that this poor-creature was in a com-
plete state of destitution • the nurse to whom she
owed some money nl.d refused to keep the child any
longer without paymeitt, and the father wus not to
be found.

Richard Porter, the carrier between Birmingham
and Measham, found the child on the road side,
under the hedge; nearly opposite the Union Inn,
going into Measham, about half-past eleven at night
—it was wrapped.up in a big coat'-4e said that he
must do the prisoner the justice to say, that it did
not seem that she intended to destroy, the child.
She was found " Guilty." _ . .

--
The learned Chairman, in ednionisitik the pri-
soner, said that as the capital part of the -charge was
not proved, there were some circumstances in her
case that might incline the Court to mercy.--Sen-
tence, seven days' further imprisonment..
josepk Fountain, an old man, said to be:Wit:yews
of age, was :charged with violently assaulting Sarah
Vickers, at Repton. It appeared that the prisonerhad
been humanely sheltered in thehouieof t he father of the
girl, who did not appear more than 16,,and gave her
evidence with propriety. The. old. man was. so com-
pletely deaf, that it was utterly impossible to make
him hear any thing from the,bar. He understood,
however, the charge, and said he hoped he
be forgiven, as he forgave others.--Guilty of •
common assault.—Sentence, to be imprisoned
twelve months, and:hard labour when able.

ORE A T COURSING MATCH.

The long-talkcu-of match between the- Newmarket,
Swaffham, and Melton Greyhounds, was decided on
Tuesday last, on the Louth Ground. The parties were
Mr. Wilkinson, of the Newmarket and Swaffham Clubs,
and Mr. Lacy, on one side, and Sir B. R. Grabara anti
Mr. Best, the Malton Club, on the other side. The main
consisted of three brace of puppies, and four brace of aged
dogs. By the following statement it will be seen that
Newmarket has sustained a most signal defeat :
Sir R. B. Graham's Gulliver beat Mr. Wilkinson's Cygnet
Mr. Best's Thetis beat Mr. Lacy's Fucea
Mr. Wilkinson's Constance beat Sir B. Graham's Glory
Mr. Best's Minikin beat Mr. Wilkinson's Czarina
Mr. Best's Clari beat Mr. Wilkinson's Cowslip
Sir B. Graham's Blucher beat Mr. Lacy's Thought
Mr. Best's Minna beat Mr. Lacy's Belvidera
The following Matches were vfterwards run :
Sir B. Graham's Grinder beat Mr. Lacy's Matchless
Mr. Chaplin's Gun heat Sir B. Graham's Spy
Sir B. Graham's Gift heat Mr. Chaplin's Haughty
The Courses were excellent, and produced a great deal
of speculation. The attendance was very numerous.

HUNTING.

Friday his Majesty's stag-hounds met at Farnham Com-
mon, where a noble deer was turned out? which,
after a
brisk cheek of an hour and ten minutes, was taken at
Chalfont.
The East Sussex bounds had a short but very gallant
run on Monday se'nnight. A fox was unkennelled near
the Barley Mow, at Selmeston, and made off at the top jef
his speed, which he continued a distance of seven or eint
miles, and ultimately made towards the Cliffe-hill, close to
Lewes, where, being hard pressed, he ran over Mr. Hill-
man's chalk-pit, Mailing-street, and so crippled himself
in the fall, that he was unable to continue the course, and
fell an easy prey to the pack.
The finest stag hunt ever witnessed in the New Forest
took place on Friday week. The hounds met at Mr.
Compton's manor-house, at half-past ten, and drew the
cover to Boldrewood Furze Break, Hants,
where a stag was
found, which immediately took a course through diffirent
walks, occasionally deviating from a right line, to the
borders of Beaulieu Mauor ; then, taking a short turn to
the left, proceeded towards Ilrockenburst, where the hounds
came up, shortly after which the stag was secured at the
head of the mill there, principally
by the active assistance
of Major Rose and C. Vivian, Esq. whose promptitude was
greatly admired aid applauded by a numerous field of gen.-
tkmen, among whom were the Hon. Sir George Rose,
Gen. Sir Hussey Vivian, and many other officers of rank,
who are now sojourning in the Forest. The ruu occupied
nearly two hours.

SHOOTING.

About three weeks ago, his Grace the Duke of Rutland,
Lord Howe, Lord Denby, D'Ewes Coke, and Norman,
Esqrs. took a days shooting in the neighbourhood of Haddon
Hall. They started about eleven o'clock in the morning,
and at four in the afternoon they had bagged b 3 phea-
sants, 76 hares, and 351 rabbits, and many more which
died of their wounds, were picked up next day. It was
observed by the keepers and others that his Grace killed
two out of every three shots thrOughout the day, and one
of the Noble Lords 18 out of '20.--Sheffield Courant.

SPORTING MEMORANDUM.—In 1738, at the races at
Malden, Essex, three horses (and no more than three)
started for a 101. plate, and they were all three distanced
the first beat, according to the common ride of racing.
without any quibble or equivocation. The first run on the
wrong side of the post, the second wanted weight, and the
third fell and broke a leg !

THE MARKETS.—(THIS DAY.)
•
CORN-EXCHANGE.
During the greater part of last week the wind was so
boisterous and contrary, that vessels could not get up the
river, the report of arrivals is in consequence small. This
morning the quantity of Corn fresh up is moderate. The
market to-day has been very.dull, and there will be no busi-
ness done to-morrow. Wheat continues as last quoted.
Barley is again reposted Is. per quarter lower. Beans are
so damp at present, that they alsO may be purchased
cheaper. Pease are dull, but unaltered in value. Oats
are reported at the same prices as on this gay se'nnight.
The Flour trade is dull—Most of the letters from the
country report a general dullness in nearly every article in
the Corn trade, owing to the mildness of the season.

The condition of most of the Wheat this morning was
very soft, and the sale, excepting for the finest dry par-
cels, was very dull, at Is. per quarter decline. The
prices cf Barley have been 'educed Is. per quarter. The
supply of Oats was rather large, and the condition so bad,
that they were scarcely saleable, excepting at low prices for
kilndrying. Irish and Old Foreign Oats are held at former
prices, and nut much business doing.

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET.—Dec. 22.

Our Market was much thronged by strangers to-day,
but the show of Wheat was small, especially that of fine
quality, and the inferior samples being offered low kept the
trade dull. We have not much doing in Grinding Barley.
—The great consumption of Oats for provender keeps the
stock low; therefore the price of this article is fully as high
as on this day week. There is very little doing in Boiling
Pease, and Beans are more plentiful than of late, conse-
quently not so ready sale. Having had a more liberal
supply of Malt in course of the present week than for the
last two months past, with many maltsters at market, that
article is nut so ready wile, even at a reduction of Is. per
load. We continue to have a moderate demand for Flour;
but a great deal being made from soft. Wheat, some sellers
were in the market at several Shillings per sack below
the currency subjoined. Oatmeal remains in price as on
this day week.

HAYMARKET.

The Haymarket Theatre closed last night for the
season. The following was the speech matte by
Mr. W. Farren on the occasion

" Ladies and Gentlemen—lt is not merely in compliance
with custom that I come fOrward on the present occasion ;
but to express the feelings of the Proprietors and Per-
formers of this Theatre, and to testify their grateful sense
of the patronage with which you have honoured their eir-
cutnwribed season. Oo the .part -of the "Proprietere, I
trust I may be permitted to observe, that they have endea-
voured to merit the *approbation and encouragement of the
public, by their constant exertion to indUce some of the
most popular authors to produce for your amusement their
dramatic novelties at this theatre—most of which have been

honoured by the sanction of your applause. It will be their
earnest endeavour to manifest their desire for the continu-
ance of public patronage, by equal zeal for the interest of the
Drama, and equal solicitude to deserve your support on
every future occasion. On the part of the Performers, per-
mit me to add, that they are proud of the approbation with
which they have been honoured—this they deem their best
reward, and this will stimulate their future efforts. I now,
Ladies and Gentlemen, in the name of the Proprietors and
Performers, most respectfully take my leave, sincerely
hoping to have the pleasure of seeing you here next season,
in health and happiness; When, animated with the same
ardent ambition to deserve your support, we shall again
hope for the cheering encouragement of your applause."
London, England, 1827-10-16

ADELPUL

A new piece was produced at this house last night,
founded on the same story as that brought out
at Drury-lane, and entitled " Thirty Years, or a
Gambler's Fate." The characters are the same under
different names; we need not therefore repeat it.—
The piece was, in its developement, far more na-
tural than at the other. house, and was received
with unsparing applause. It promises to
have a very successful, and, making allowance
for some extravagance both in the character and
conception of the plot, a very deserved run. Mrs.
lope, from the Theatre Royal, Drury.'lane, made her
first appearance on these boards in the character of
Amelia, the heroine of the piece, which she performed
with a passionate tenderness that frequently drew tears
from a crowded audience. Her acting was altoge-
ther consonant to nature in the trying vicissitudes of
her afflicting situation. Perhaps the crowd of
horrors which pressed upon one feeling heart,
Ares too much to be strictly probable--possibility is
a dangerous limit to be natural. The life of a
gambler, though exposed to all the temptations
which degrade human nature, should not be drawn
in such appalling colours, as to destroy the effect of
that morality, which it aims at inculcating. In the
present piece, the incidents of demoniacal horror
are too much crowded. They might all occur,
in the course of a century, but hardly in one indivi-
dual life. The gambler begins with deceit—pro-
ceeds to forgery—perpetrates murder on the person
of a stranger, who had relieved his wants,
and ends by compassing the life of his own
son at the moment when filial affection had hastened
to relieve him from misery. and shame. The lurking
feeling of the gambler's heart was strongly depicted
by a single instance : when all other attempts at
reconciliation had failed, his partner in crime and
disgrace drew out a pack of cards, and, by their
" well-known music," instantly won a passage to the
heart of the depraved and infatuated gamester. Mr.
Terry, as the disguised friend, but secret villain,
performed the character very effectually. Mr.' Yates
had little to do, but that lie did well. Mr. T. P.
Cooke personated the Hero with great spirit.
We never beheld a more deplorable contrast than he
represented in his lucky days, and after his misery
and banishment. It was too painful to contemplate,
but the moral may be edifying. The piece was an-
nounced for repetition till further notice, amid un-
bounded applause.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

PLANTATION SUGARS.—There has been a fine stroke
of business done this morning in the grocery 'descriptions,
at a shade lower prices than last week. In the refining
qualities there is very little doing, and prices of these 41e_
scriptions are fully supported.
FOREIGN SUGARS.-Nothinc, doing.

REFINED SUGARS.—In low-lump; there does not sp_
pear to be so much doing this week, and prices may be
quoted from 6d. to ls. per cwt. lower. In other descrip-
tions there is very little doing either for the export or home
trade. In crashed nothing. _

COFFEE.--The public sales of Plantation brought for-
ward this morning, consist chiefly of the ordinary des-
criptions of Jamaica, which are selling at very low prices,
the quantity of this description offered being far too great
to meet the present demand.
FAULT.-The following parcels were put up to public
sale this morning, viz. 95 butts Trieste Currants, all
bought in from 945. to 88s. ; 334 quarter boxes:New
French Plums, at 635. About 600 boxes New Bunch

NORWICH, Oct: 13.
We had a short supply of Wheat and Barley to-day, and
last week's prices were firmly maintained for both. Oats
are dull, as also Beans and Pease, and to effect sales lower
nices must be taken. Flour is ready sale at last week's

admitted. that he is fallible in all matters that
have not been revealed ; the only question discussed
among Divines is, whether in propounding revealed
matters to the faithful to be believed in the charac-
ter of head of the Church, he can err, and pro-
pose as revealed what in reality has not been re-
vealed: now many things have not only an indi-
rect, but also a direct relation with revelation that
has not been revealed, and therefore cannot be an
object of faith."

There is certainly room enough for contro-
versy here. A man may have a tolerable good
head, and yet be pretty much puzzled to tell
whether any partieukir point' on which the Holy
Father enlarges is one as to which he can err, or
as to which he is infallible. There is, first, the
fact to be ascertained whether his Holiness fer-
vently invoked the light of the Holy Ghost,
whether he thought be was acting jute divino,
or as a temporal Prince, and then whether the
point is a doctrine to be believed as revealed
or not.. The Pope pronounces respecting the
doctrines, and every Catholic sits injudgment ou
the Pope.
We find from the Catholic ,professors, that the
famous Decree of the Council of Lateran, ab-
solving the subjects of heretics from allegiance to
them, not being a matter of faith, is not one of
those subjects as to which Councils are infalli-
Sle. The affair of John Huss is got over, by
the assertion that the safe conduct could not be
supposed to free him from the consequences of
the trial to which he was submitting himself. If
a man, accused of murder, were to receive a safe
conduct, in order that he might take his trial, if'
found guilty, it could not be understood as stand-
ing in the way of the hangman.—Morning
Chronicle.

DRURY•LANE THEATRE.

A new Comedy, entitled the Trial of Love; or, as it should
rather haiere been called, the Trial of Patience, was produced, for
the first time, last night at this theatre. The plot was compli-
cated and incongruous, the dialogue, generally speaking, below
even the level of common-place; so much so, that the audience,
with one accord, damned the comedy toto ccdo. Mr. Wallack
accordingly announced the determination of the Managers to
withdraw it—a decision which was received with applause by a
well-filled house.

School, established in Gray's Inn-lane, for the education and sup-
port of one hundred boys and fifty girls.

separated at a late hour, highly delighted with their evening's en-
tertainment.

Chi-
chester (Rev. Dr. Carr) was formerly vicar of Brigh-

favour of the late Queen Charlotte. To this, it is
understood, he has been indebted for his promotion,
first to the Deanery of Hereford, and then to the
Bishopric of Chichester. His Lordship still stands
well at Court, as is proved by his recent appointment
as Clerk of the Closet ; and it is considered not at all
improbable that he will be moved a step higher amidst
the vacancies that are now occurring in the high offices
of the Church.

Neither M. Canning nor Mr. Huskisson were able

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY)•

CORN-EXCHANGE.
The boisterous weather has occasioned our supplies to be small
this week. The Resolutions on the Corn Laws have had the ef-
fect of making the factors ask more'money for Wheat, as, accord-
ing to the principle proposed, if the law were now in operation,
the duty on Wheat would be
345. per quarter ; hence higher
prices are expected for Wheat, with the prospect the alteration in
the law presents. Barley, Beans, Pease, and Oats, remain at
much the same prices as quoted on Monday. Flour sells more
freely. ARRIVALS.

DOVER, MARCH 1, 1827.

We have had a very heavy gale of wind at W. during last night
and this day, and are apprehensive that we shall hear of damage
amongst the shipping in the Channel.
The ship Ellen of London, from Jamaica, Captain A. Pen-
nant; has lost an anchor and chain, and is now riding nage
Dungeness. An anchor and chain are now going off to her from
hence.
A sloop called the Flora of Dunkirk, laden with coke, is ea
shore at Dymchurcb, and the cargo is landing. It is probable the
vessel will be saved.
A very distressing accident occurred off this port to-day; a
Dutch galliot was corning from the Westward, with a signal ont
for assistance, and two pilot tuggers, one called the Catherine, of
this port, and one belonging to Deal, were running towards her ;
at the moment of approaching the galliot, the two boats came in
contact and the Deal lugger sunk ; of five boatmen on board, four
were saved by the Dover lugger, the fifth, a man of the name of
Thomas Terry, was unfortunately drowned.
No arrivals from, or departures for France to-day, on account

IMPORTATION OF CORN.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
By the proposed scheme of duty, as stated last night in the
House, by Mr. Canning, relative to the Cern Laws, it would run
thus—if the average of Corn is 60s. per quarter, the duty will be
20s. ; 615., les. ; 624., 16s. ; 635., 14s. ; 145., 12.. ; 655.,
10s.; 665., Bs. ; 675., 68. ; 685., 4s. ; 705., 2s. ; 715., Os. ;
595., 225. ; 585., 245. ; 575., 265. ; 565., 28s. ; 555., 30x. ;
545., 821. ; 53a., 345. ; which is the present average.
The British Merchant is at present thus situated ; he has re-
ceived consignments from the Dantzic Merchant, upon which he
has advanced one half, at the rate of 30s. per quarter, say, 155.;
insurance and freight, ss. 6d. ; entry, grainery, meetage, turning
and factorage about 2s. Cd.-235. 6d.—He sells this at the pre-
sent average price of 535., on which the duly, accorsling to the
proposed scale, 344.—leaves 19s.

The amount of Sales to the Dantzic Merchant would then rim
thus :—sold 1 quarter at 535. ; deduct duty and charges as above,
say 345. duty, and Se. per quarter charges, 425. ; and 2s. per
cent. Commission, I le. ; advanced 15s. ; the Dantzic Merchant
would consequently have 4s. per quarter loss to make good to the
Consignee ; the other alteration is not to sell the wheat, but to
leave it in the granary, by which the charges of turning, insurance
against fire, and interest would accumulate, and the community
at large would not derive any profit of the nominal low price of
wheat.
