eireulattetz of air through the ilvellitits, Lace, liew td-
ward, Addison, and Harrison streets atO'instancts•
abounds in them continually, and the filthy state of these
streets and of the courts is rendered worse by the damp from
the open privies. The noxious exhalations emanating from
these sources combine in harbouring and disseminating dis-
ease and death amongst the victims compelled to occupy
their pestilential haunts most appalling to contemplate, and
which loudly calls for the interference of the Legislature to
adopt some means for its removal.—l remain, sir, your most

LARCENY.

Gabriel Roberts pleaded guilty to having stolen, on the
28th January last, six pounds weight of lead, the property of
Alexander Maskew, his master. As the prisoner bore a
good character previously to this offence, he was only sen-
tenced to one week's imprisonment.

SHOPLIFTING.

Margaret Webb was convicted of hawing, on the 25th of
January last, stolen five silk handkerchiefs and one scarf, the
property of Mr. Denver, a linen-draper, in Byrom-street.
The facts of the case were: detailed at the time of their oc-
currence, and the evidence was but a recapitulation of what
was adduced before the magistrate.
She was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment. She had
been previously convicted of a similar offence.

A PICKPOCKET.

Joseph Wilson was convicted, and sentenced to ten years'
transpavtation, for having, on the 25th January last, stolen
a pocket handkerchief from the person of John Robinson.
The prosecutor was passing along Church-street, when the
pricontr put his hand in his pocket, drew forth his handker-
chief, and conveyed it to another person who was with him,
but who escaped. This was observed by a person who was
passing, and who informed the prosecutor of what he had
seen, when the prisoner was given into custody.

ROBBERY FROM A SHOP DOOR.
George Howell and John Flood were indicted for having
feloniously stolen, on the 19th ultimo, 20 yards of moleskin,
the property of r. John Krebs.
To this indictment John Flood pleaded guilty ; and Geo.
Howell not guilty.
It was attempted, on the part of Howell, to prove an alibi,
by a person who has cohabited with him for some weeks past,
and who swore that he was not out of the house from four in
the afternoon till eleven at night, and the robbery was com-
mitted at five o'clock. This not being believed by the jury,
they found the prisoner guilty ; and both prisoners were
sentenced to seven years' transportation.
ROBBERY FROM THE PERRON: BY A BLIND MAN.
Peter Callaghan, a blind harper, was indicted for having
feloniously stolen a purse containing five sovereigns and
seventeen shillings, the property of Bridget Brannan, his
daughter-in-law.
The jury consulted a short time, and found the prisoner
not guilty.
The RECORDER ordered the prisoner not to be sent away,
as he wished to have some conversation with him privately.

THE WATERLOO COURSING MEETING

This great coursing meeting commenced on Tuesday, at
Altcar. Notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the
day, a goodly number of keen sportsmen, whom no weather
could daunt, hurried early to the ground. Like the redoubt-
able Tam o' Shanter, they _ _

Despising wind and rain.
Though the moisture, which descended ceaselessly, wetted
their jackets, it could not damp their ardour. Of course, a
finer day would have insured a better muster, but under the
circumstances the attendance may be considered excellent.
The dogs generally showed themselves in good condition, and
the hares ran in first-rate style. The following is the result
of the first day's sport : •

DESSERT FRUITS
.
MIDDLEWOOD respectfully informs his Customers,
J• Friends, and the Public, that he is now prepared to serve
Desserts to any extent, with a variety of Fruits, not to be
equalled in England. His Pines are of superior quality.
Melons, Peaches, Grapes, with every choice English Fruit,
in Season. A few Forbidden Fruit, also French Pears of all
the most approved sorts. His fine Imperial Blue Raisins,
for Desserts, 3s. the Box. The finest Muscatel Layers, in
Boxes and Half Boxes. New Jordan Almonds and Portugal
Plums, in Boxes, 2s. 6d. each. His Filberts, Cob Nuts, and
Walnuts, prepared for keeping, are the best sample that
could be procured in London.
J. M. begs respectfully to inform his Friends and the Pub-
lic, that his Establishment, patronised for 40 years by Roy-
alty and the Nobility and Gentry of the surrounding Coun-
ties, is an advantage which few Fruiterers can boast of. His
extensive connections with Growers of Fruit renders him able
to meet every competitor. His Pines, which were placed before
his late Majesty, were pronounced the finest ever beheld. Also
his Forbidden Fruit, which could not be equalled in the
kingdom, has met with the same flattering praise by her Ma-
jesty Queen Victoria this summer.
• J. M. 'begs to offer to Country Dealers, &c., Grapes in
Barrels and Boxes, of superior quality ; Portugal Onions in
Boxes ; also 20 Barrels of tine Portugal Quinces, for preserv-
ing Marmalade, &c. ; tine Jamaica and East India Preserved
Ginger ' - Limes and Tamarinds ; Ditto Jamaica ; fine Shad-
dock Marmalade, Guava Ditto, and Jelly.
Just landed, a few Quarter and whole Cartoons of New
French Plums, Pomegranates, and Spanish Melons.
Middlewood's celebrated Botanic Oil for the Hair, 25.,
3s. 6d., and ss. per Jar.
To prevent an idea that where all the Choice Fruits are
sold, Inferior Fruits are not to be had at moderate prices,
comparison is the best test, and J. M. will sell good Foreign
Grapes, legal weight, at 6d. per lb. Olives, Capers, and a
great variety of Pickles and Sauces at London prices.

LIVERPOOL POTATOE MARKET, OCTOBER 28

The quantity of Potatoes yet brought seaward continues trifling,
but fully equal to the demand, for the neighbouring farmers press
such of their growth on the market which is either at all faded, or
doubtful to store, and which has the effect of depressing the vakue
of all qualities in a corresponding ratio. For the last two days
prices have been more firm, with an improved inquiry for transit
into the interior, and one or two of the Manchester dealers have
been buying the best runs of Manx cups at from us to Us Id, and
choice descriptions command from 2s ad to 2s •3d per 901bs. in
retail on the quay. Prices current from the farmers : Pink eyed
Potatoes 2s ad to 2s 6d per 9slbs.; Cups 2s ad to us 3d; Short Tops

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 26

The arrivals into this port since Tuesday last comprise
chiefly a fair supply of Wheat, a moderate quantity of Oats
and Flour, with a large increase of Oatmeal from Ireland ;
including several parcels of foreign free Wheat received coast-
wise : in addition to these we have to note 13,066 barrels of
Flour from Canada, and 1160 bags from Calcutta ; but of
other articles direct from abroad the imports are inconsider-
able.

Our market to-day was tolerably well attended by town
and country dealers, and though we had no active business
in Wheat, a moderately fair demand was experienced for
good qualities of old, both British and Foreign, at the full
currency of this day week, but no advance, though attempted,
could in any case be established ; the best qualities of new
Irish sold slowly at the reduced rates of Friday, whilst a few
parcels of inferior were forced off at a much greater reduction.
Importers obtained 6d. per barrel advance for choice brands
of Flour, with a limited sale.—Sack Flour in slow request at
former quotations.

Having no new malting Barley at hand, prices remain un-
certain. Good samples of old are also scarce, and held quite
as high as last week.—Prime Malt, being in some request,
was the turn dearer, but in other kinds there was no amend-
ment.

Beans and Pease continuing to meet a fair demand, the
former realised is. and the latter 2s. to 3s. per quarter over
the rates of this day se'nnight.
Old Oats, upon a very limited supply, advanced Id to 2d
per 45 lbs ; and new, although not readily disposed of, fully
maintained our last quotations.
In Oatmeal we had not much hnsiness passing to-day, and
such remained unaltered in value ; the general runs of old,
notwithstanding, were taken off freely at an improvement
of is to 2s per 2401bs ; and some rather extensive sales were
effected.

FOREIGN iNTELLIG.ENC.E

THE LEVANT MAIL

The Levant mail has arrived with letters from Constanti-
nople of the Sth, and Alexandria, of the Gth of October.
A most violent shock of an earthquake occurred at Con-
stantinople on the night of the sth, such indeed as the oldest
inhabitant does not remember to have ever witnessed. The
first shock, felt at twenty-five minutes after two in the morn-
ing, was strong and lasted some time. The second at three
o'clock and lasted from twenty to twenty-five seconds. This
was succeeded half-an-hour afterwards by a third and slight
shock, and at seven in the morning occurred a fourth. A
great deal of damage was done in the Khan, at Constantino-
ple, and in the surrounding villages many lives were said to
have been lost ; but our correspondent states that there were
only five or six persons killed, though the loss of property is
very extensive.

The military organisation of Turkey was going on satis-
factorily, and a good disposable army will go a great way to-
wards insuring the future safety of the empire. General
Jochmus has been placed by the sultan's firman at the head
of the staff, and this measure, prompted by Lord Ponsonby,
augurs well for the morals and respectability of the Ottoman
army.

Besides financial difficulties, the porte has many other
weighty matters that call for its constant attention, such as
the state of Tripoli, the attitude of Mehemet Ali, whose
actions are at variance with his professions, and the discon-
tents of the rayah populations.
From Alexandria there is no news of moment. The libera-
tion of the Syrians in the service of the pasha was continued.
About 7,000 had already left Egypt, and more were expected
from the upper country in order to be shipped off.

EXECUTION OF GENERAL LEON

(From the Madrid Correspondent of the Times of Saturday.)
Madrid, Oct. 15, Quarter past Two, p.m
General Leon is shot ! At one o'clock to-day he was taken
in a coach from the Convent of St. Thomas, in which he had
been confined, (the barrack of the national militia of Madrid)
and conducted outside the gate of Toledo, (the usual place
of military execution, beyond that of Bilboa, being too far
from his prison,) where at 42 minutes past one, he was shot
by a platoon. A strong force lined the great street of To-
ledo, and prevented the populace passing through the gate to
witness the execution. However, a gentleman who had been
on the ground from an early hour, and who witnessed the
scene, declared that he had died like a soldier. He wore his
uniform as a cavalry officer, and addressed his guards in a
firm voice, nearly to this effect:—" Comrades, I am ac-
cused of being a coward and a traitor ! lam neither. I
have served Spain well, and I do not regret it. " Viva
Isabella Segundr! Viva la libertad ! Adios Camarades!"
He embraced his Advocate-General, Roncali, and the Fiscal
who presided at the execution of the sentence, and then
turning to the soldiers, gave the signal to fire. One dis-
charge sufficed, and he fell dead instantly. The Fiscal took
charge of the body, and the mass of the troops of the line
and Nacionalles returned into the city. As I write, a splen-
did hearse, drawn by two mules, covered with black velvet

corpse to the Campo Santo. _

Thus has perished the second victim of the policy of Maria
Christina. It was a pity that he did not stand on his de-
fence before the council, as the brave rash soldier he really
was, instead of allowing the lawers to inoculate him with
their shallow pettifogging artifices, that must have called
forth Espartero's contempt instead f his sympathy. Had he
plainly admitted his error, and cried, " Viva Isabella Se-
gunda! Viva la libertad !" before the council of war, he
might perhaps have been alive now.

EXECUTION OF GENERAL LEON

(From the Madrid Correspondent of the Times of Saturday.)
Madrid, Oct. 15, Quarter past Two, p.m
General Leon is shot ! At one o'clock to-day he was taken
in a coach from the Convent of St. Thomas, in which he had
been confined, (the barrack of the national militia of Madrid)
and conducted outside the gate of Toledo, (the usual place
of military execution, beyond that of Bilboa, being too far
from his prison,) where at 42 minutes past one, he was shot
by a platoon. A strong force lined the great street of To-
ledo, and prevented the populace passing through the gate to
witness the execution. However, a gentleman who had been
on the ground from an early hour, and who witnessed the
scene, declared that he had died like a soldier. He wore his
uniform as a cavalry officer, and addressed his guards in a
firm voice, nearly to this effect:—" Comrades, I am ac-
cused of being a coward and a traitor! lam neither. I
have served Spain well, and I do not regret it. " Viva
Isabella Segundr ! Viva la libertad ! Adios Camarades !"
He embraced his Advocate-General, ltoncali, and the Fiscal
who presided at the execution of the sentence, and then
turning to the soldiers, gave the signal to fire. One dis-
charge sufficed, and he fell dead instantly. The Fiscal took
charge of the body, and the mass of the troops of the line
and Nacionalles returned into the city. As I write, a splen-
did hearse, drawn by two mules, covered with black velvet
and cloth of gold, is proceeding to the ground to convey the
corpse to the Campo Santo, _ _

SPAIN

The accounts from Madrid reach to the 15th instant. On
the morning of that day Espartero was to leave the city for
the northern provinces, to take the command of the army.
Before his departure he issued a proclamation, in which.
after reciting the advantages which the Spanish nation had
enjoyed since the establishment of peace, he holds up to
execration the wicked attempt to renew civil war. He calls
the Spaniards to take arias to suppress the insurrection, and
concludes by appealing to the honour of the National Guard
of Madrid, to whom he intrusts the care of guarding the
infant Queen and her sister. The news of the general sub-
mission of the insurgents in the Basque provinces had not
reached Madrid at the above date, and it is therefore probable
that Espartero would return to the capital when the in-
formation reached him on his route to join the army.
El .Espectador contains a curious article in reference to the
property possessed by Queen Christina. As guardian to her
daughter, she is said to have disposed of the royal patrimony,
and of the 28,000,000 f. belonging to her daughter; and that
beside the 12,000,000 f. of the civil list ; to have saved during
the seven years of her administration, 5,500,000 f. per annum,
(37,000,000 f.,) which, added to her dotation of 81,000,000 f.,
would leave her in possession of 121,000,000 f. The Spanish
journalists, presuming her to have expended 11,000,000 f. in
Spain, which, looking at her parsimonious habits, he appears
to consider improbable, states that she would still be in
possession of 110,000,000 f. (£4,400,000 sterling,) to say
nothing of the jewels, gold and silver plate, and other articles
of value, which she carried off from the Palace. If this
account of her resources be correct, there can be no pretext
for the belief that the money which is said to have been in-
strumental in bringing about the late insurrection was sup-
plied by any one but herself. Notwithstanding the positive
charge which has been brought against the French govern-
ment of having originated the insurrection, no single fact has
yet transpired which tends in any way to confirm it. What-
ever may be Espartero's notions on the subject, it is clear
that he is not a little solicitous of propitiating public opinion
in France ; for in spite of the denuded condition of the royal
treasury, and the disturbed state of the country, a courier
from Madrid arrived in Paris on Sunday last, with funds for
payment of the greater portion of the arrears of pay due to
the French Auxiliary Legion.

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET. OCT. 27

During the present week, an advance of is to 2s per quarter has
been demanded on new and old English Wheat, but only partially
acceded to. Fine old Malting Barley maintains former rates, but
new might be purchased on rather easier terms ; not much inquiry
for grinding. Beans support their value. Oats dull, but not
lower.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1841-10-29

FRANCE

The Paris papers of Sunday contain a telegraphic despatch
from Bayonne, dated the 23d instant, announcing the arrival
at Urdax of O'Donnell, with Generals Ortigoza and Jaure-
guy, and 2,500 men. The Count de Mouterron and several
members of the foral deputation had also reached that town.
Urdax is situated in the valley of the Bastan, about two miles
from the French frontier. The Moniteur Parisien of Satur-
day night announces that several regiments have been ordered
by the French government to approach the Pyrenean frontier,
and that a squadron of ships of war has been despatched to
the coast. This movement has given rise to much specula-
tion. Some of the papers consider it as indicative of the in-
tention of Louis Philippe to interfere actively in the affairs of
Spain, but the majority regard it as a necessary precaution,
without having any hostile character. The ill effects of the
insurrection it is feared will be felt for some time after all
open appearance of resistance to the existing government
shall have disappeared. It will tend to strengthen the re-
publican party ; and by some it is supposed that Espartero
will be compelled, in consequence, to adopt more democratic
measures.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 25

We continue to be moderately supplied with English Wheat, and
there has been a good demand this morning, at a decline of Is to 2s
per quarter; and we have had a free sale for foreign Wheat Is per
quarter advance since this day week. Flour is Is per stick dearer.
The supply of Barley continues moderate, and it is rather higher
for the best parcels of malting and distilling qualities. Beans are
Is, and White Peas 2s per quarter dearer. Gray Peas arc without
change in value. The arrivals of Oats are small, and there is an
improved demand for New Oats, at fully the prices of this day 'week,
and good old Oats are selling 6d per quarter advance in prjce.
WEDNESDAY. Oct. 27.—The supplies are very short from Mon-
day of all descriptions of grain. The trade for all articles is firm
at that day's prices.

DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 26

We had a good supply of both Wheat and Oats at market this
day., Prime samples of the former brought full prices, while
middling and inferior samples sold from 6d to l s per barrel cheaper.
Oatmeal commands a free sale at our quotations, with a very limited
supply. Bakers' Flour in fair request, at last week's rates—in-
feriors and thirds in full supply, but the demand rather dull.

WORCESTER HOP MARKET, OCT

Our market on Saturday was well attended with buyers of new
Bops; but as the quantity was mostly inferior, few samples but
fine coloured sorts were purchased, and those at an advance of as
per cwt. ; low qualities go off heavy, and prices are expected to be
stationary. Weighed on Saturday, new, 1,097 ; old 81. In the
,s; per cwt.:—Brown 100 s
s one. 1306 to 1475, COMM. 1565 to IRlO', from on.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET, OCT

In the Hop market there is not much activity at present; the fairs
at Weyhill, Maidstone, and other parts not having gone off briskly,
or in a manner to encourage speculation. The crop, some think,
will fall below the estimate, and this induces the holders to keel)
very firm, in spite of the limited demand, in anticipation of a

future improvement. The duty has but few backers at 45,000 to
£145,000. The official statement will be out in about a mouth.
Prices much the same.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCT. 28.
The price of Butter continue to have an upward tendency, and
hut little disposition is evinced on the part of holders to realise for
the present. On the other side the water the merchants are very
sanguine ;—we call the currency fully as per cwt. higher than on
this day se'nnight. Without being able to notice an active de-

mand for Beef and Pork, we may remark, that prices are very
steady ; and the belief is general, that a considerable advance will
occur shortly after Christmas. Bacon is speculatively enquired
after, and the supply at market very limited Fine long sides we
quote 60s per cwt.

HULL CORN MARKET, OCT. 26.
The farmer's supply of Wheat to this day's market is more
abundant than last week. and for all dry conditioned qualities Is
per qr. advance has been paid ; a great proportion of the samples
showing arc much out of condition, and such do not make any
more money than last week and are difficult to quit. In old foreign
there is a fair business passing but at no advance on the prices of
last week. Very few Oats offering, and late prices supported.
Beans of good quality Is per quarter dearer, second sorts without
alteration. The malting season has scarcely commenced ; there
is, however, not much Barley offering, the best malting parcels
command full prices, grinding qualities sell at is per stone. With
the exceptions of Thursday and Friday. we have had continued wet
weather which still continues.
