CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 21

The duty has again advanced on Wheat to gs. per quarter, On
Flour to ss. sd. per barrel, which will most likely reach the
highest point on Friday next.
Beyond a moderate supply of Oats, we have received very lit-
tle produce of any kind from Ireland or Coastwise since Monday
last, and the fresh arrivals of Foreign Grain and Flour are Hull-
ed in comparison with the supplies we have been accustomed to
of late.

The weather since our report of Tuesday last has been again
extremely varied ; on Wednesday it was exceedingly fine, and a
further portion of the crops in this part of the district was se-
cur ed ; yesterday, however, was thoroughly wet, and, conse-
quently, harvest operations were suspended for the time. These
frequent changes, but more especially the alarming accounts of
the potatoe blight from all directions, have continued to excite
the urgent attention of speculative buyers as well as consu.
mers, principally to Wheat. Indian Coro, and Flour, of which
very extensive sales have been effected daily at improving rates,
whilst-Oats and other kinds of spring Grain had been held with
increasing firmness on somewhat higher terms,

Upon a rather numerous attendance of buyers at our Corn
Exchange to-day, several from distant parts of the country, a
moderate share of business was done in foreign free Wheats
for consumption, and some large parcels reported for invest-
ment at an advance of 2d per 7ulb over Tuesday's rates; but in
other descriptions the transactions were unimportant, and the
weather bein ; fine again this morning, the trade closed rather
less buoyant than it commenced. States and Canadian Flour
continued to be taken off very exttnsive'y, all qualities readily
commanding an improvement of is per barrel; and good marks
of Irish being scarce were Is per sack dearer.
Grinding Barley was held more firmly at an advance of 2d to
3d per 601 h ; and Malt remained steady on the terms last noted.
Beans and Pease, upon a moderate inquiry, realised an amend-
ment of is per quarter. Indian Corn continued to meet a good
demand, partly from Ireland, at an advance of is per 4701 b,
although business in this article on speculation, was rather less
active to-day than previously.
Oats were more saleable this morning than of late, acquiring
fully 2d per 451 b above our last quotations ; and Oatmeal, of
which very little remains unsold, was held 2s to 3a per load
over former prices.

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 22

•
From the date of our last until yesterday we had much ra n
and this, together with the reports of the rapid arid universal
extension of the Potato blight, has fully confirmed the improve -
ment which we then noticed. During the week there has been
much activity in the Grain and Flour trade, and prices have
been considerably enhanced.

The same has qeen the case at all our leading markets, not
only in this, but in the agricultural districts.
Yesterday and to-day, there is much improvement in the
weather, which appears more settled. This checks the activity
previously existing; a fair business, however, is done to nay
in Wheat, at prices 4d to 6d per bushel above those of this day
week, according to quality and description. The stock of Flour
consists almost wholly of American and Canadian, fresh qualities
of which are :8 6d to 2s per brl dearer; choice samples of sack
Flour are very scarce, and would bring an advance of 3s per
sack; good ordinary brands are 28 higher, hut secondary and
unsound lots do not improve in value.
Oats and Oatmeal are getting very scarce, the former are
fully 2d per bushel, and the latter 2s per load dearer.
Malt and Beans are both held for higher prices.

CARLETT PARK, EASTHAM

THIS Park, consisting of 200 Acres of Land, well-
wooded, is laid out to a fixed plan for the erection of
Double and Single Villas, in convenient-sized lots for pur-

It is situated on a gentle rise of ground, sloping to the south,
between the villages of Bromborough and Eastham, and from
every point commands fine views of the head of the River
Mersey, of the Helsby Hills, of Beeston Castle, the Welsh
Mountains, and the River Dee. From the north and east winds
it is effectuallyprotected by Eastham or Carlett Wood.
It is within a quarter of a mile of Eastham Ferry, to which
place boats run every two hours from George's Pier, Liverpool;
and from the Bromborough Station of the Chester and Birken-
head Railway, where eighteen trains a day stop, it is distant
only half a mile; from Birkenhead, by the lurnpike Road, it is
distant five miles.
The whole of the Park lies on a bed of fine red sandstone,
which purchasers will have the privilege of quarrying, and
using for their buildings.

INCREASE OF INCOME.

IT is required by the Advertiser to appoint upon
mutually advantageous conditions, REPRESENTATIVES
for the SALE of some UNIQUE ARTICLES, commanding
from their appearance, superiority of manufacture, and their
great utility, such an attraction to any established genteel Bu-

may desire an addition to the trade, unaccompanied with
doubtful results. The intention_s.ta teserve the advantages
offered to one persoin;Leheteveral t wns of the kingdom,

INGENIOUS FRAUDS.—An elderly man, named James

lice-court, on Monday, charged with having obtained se-
veral parcels, at the different metropolitan railway sta-
tions' by means of forging orders These orders pur-

how Wright could have obtained the extensive and varied

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON ON DRUNKENNESS.—
When the Duke of Wellington was examined before the
Commissioners appointed to inquire into the subject of
military punishments, be gave the following pithy answer
to a question on military drunkenness. Lord Wbarn-

in the British army, in your opinion?" The answer of

NVARIABLY." Comment iN here superfluous.

The two bills to abolish deodands and compensate the
families of persons killed by accidents, which were re-
ferred to a select committee, have just been issued as
amended. Deodands and the forfeiture of chattels are to

CROWN COURT.-THURSDAY

James Travers, 20, was charged with having, at Win-
stanley, shot at Joseph Birchall, with intent to kill and
murder him. Mr. Pollock stated the case. The prisoner
was a poacher, and, on being pursued, fired. Mr. James
addressed the jury for the prisoner, remarking that a
greater curse could not exist in a civilised community than
the game laws. The prisoner was found guilty of a com-
mon assault, and sentenced to twelve months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.

MANSLAUGHTER AT WARRINGTON

Peter Brown, 21, was charged with killing and slaving
his own father. John Brown, at Warrington. On Sun.
day, the 10th of May last, the prisoner was at Warring-
ton with some companions, and returned about ten in the
evening, much intoxicated. The deceased was at home
with his family, and some other trrsons, and be also was
in liquor. On the prisoner coming home, he said to the
deceased, "If anything happens, (the mother being in-
disposed at the time,) you will have to go to Wargrave
Moss Workhouse. The deceased replied with an oath
that it was never made for him, after which a quarrel en-
sued, and the prisoner repeated the assertion he had pre.
