The accumulation of business at the Custom-house
for entries outwards has been so great, that the clerks
have found it impossible within these few days to dis-
charge the duties required. Thursday 600 cockers
were issued.
Thursday morning, between one and two o'clock,
the house of Mr. Flanagan, corn-factor, in Smithfield,
Dublin, fell down. A woman of the name of Finn-
ket, and two boys who were apprentices of Mr. F.'s,
lay buried in the ruins, until the prompt and indefati-
gable exertions of some young men in the neighbour-
hood rescued the woman and the elder boy from a
sudden death. Some time elapsed before the younger
boy was discovered, and every means to restore life
proved ineffectual.—This lamentable event is ascribed
to a greater quantity of corn having been heaped at
one side of the house than at the other.

AGRICULTURAL REPORT' FOR OCTOBER.-
The Wheat seed-time has been veryfavourable, from
the seasonable rains, both on tilth land and clover leys.
On the hills in the not them districts, and also on some
in the central counties of Gloucester and Oxford,
where early sowing is necessary, the young Wheats
have planted well. The Clover-seed crops have suf-
fered materially in most parts, except on warm soils,
from which they were gathered in the dry season,.
The Potatoes have afforded, generally, a large pro-
duce. The Turnip crops have recovered from the
stunt which they got during the drought; and now
promise to be abundant.
The continuing fall in all kinds of Grain has occa-
sioned considerable alarm through the landed in-
terest ; although the reduced prices are evidently
caused by the immediate general necessity of turning
a certain quantity of corn into money, and the faci-
lity with which the threshing mills have effected this
object. This has naturally given the mercantile spe-
culator a temporary advantage over the agriculturist,
of which the Public, unfortunately, have not their due
share. The Hay markets are considerably lower.
Lean Stock, both in sheep and cattle, is also lower.
from the shortness of food ; but good Beef and Mut-
ton somewhat exceed their last month's prices. Good
Cart Horses are as dear as ever. No alteration in the
Wool markets.

An order has been issued by the Lords of the
Treasury to permit French wines imported under
licence, and now actually warehoused for exporta-
tion, to be entered for home consumption, on pay-
ment of the proper duties, provided such wines shall
be cleared and the duties paid on or before the sth
of April next.
