LIVERPOOL, AUGUST 15.—Continued dulness and depres-
sion, as of late, appear still to mark the character of the Corn
trade in nearly all the British and Irish markets held during
the week, the weather, the harvest, and foreign importations
serving to dissipate all active operations in any of its depart-
ments. The brilliant weather and bright prospects of harvest,
which prevailed throughout the past week and continued until
the night of Tuesday last, were then completely reversed here
by frequent heavy rains and a close sultry atmosphere, during
the whole of Wednesday and part of yesterday; to-day, how-
ever, is fine, with a brisk drying breeze, and thus far little or
no injury is apparent. Except Malt, of which fair supplies
come forward, the receipts coastwise and from Ireland since
Monday last have been small; from America, France, the Bal-
tic. and the Danube, however, we have to note a liberal supply
of Wheat ; from various parts abroad a tolerably good accession
of Beans and Indian Corn, and from the United States 31,781
barrels of Flour, but noo sacks only from France. Occasional
transactions in Flour at our last quotations, and sales of seve-
ral cargoes of Indian Corn afloat, form the principal features
of the trade with us from the close of Tuesday's market to this
date; all other articles having remained nominally unvaried.
Having very few home and country millers at our Corn Ex-
change to-day, and a general disposition evinced to remain
inactive, sales of Wheat, even in retail parcels, were scarcely
feasible, and had buyers come forward somewhat lower terms
would have been conceded ; the business done, however, was
so extremely insignificant altogether, that we leave our last
quotations for all descriptions of this Grain nominally unal-
tered. The arrivals of States and Canadian Flour, though
large, were met by an improved demand from consumers, and
the rates of Tuesday fully maintained; prime marks of French
and other kinds remaining steady in value. Barley, Beans,
and Pease, exciting little notice, were the turn cheaper. Malt,
, and rather dearer. Oats

MANCHESTER, AUGUST 16.—With the exception of occa-
sional violent thunder showers, the weather since our last has
been favourable for harvest, which is now general in all but
the northern counties. Wakefield dull yesterday. Our mar-
ket to-day is perfectly quiet, and we repeat the prices of our
last—which, in the absence of any amount of business whereon
to found quotations, may be considered as representing about
the value of the best and freshest qualities of each article.
Anything old or out of condition is perfectly unsaleable at any
fair pricc.

PRESTON, AUGUST 16.—We had a limited supply of
English Wheat at our Corn-Exchange to-day, but it was fully
equal to the demand, which ruled dull, at a reduction of 6d.
per windle. Foreign nominally depressed in value. Flour 6d.
per pack cheaper, and a slow sale. Oats were little noticed.
Oatmeal in moderate retail request, and the rates of this day
se'nniolit tolerably well sustained. Ne new produce at hand.

WAKEFIELD, AUGUST Is.—The weather during the present
week has been changeable, and not altogether favourable for
the crops or the progress of harvest : this has a tendency to
give a little more firmness to the trade, and check further de-
cline in prices. There is a good arrival of Wheat, and a steady
sale for good fresh qualities at the prices of last Friday. No
change in the value of Oats and Shelling, but the demand very
limited: Beans fully as dear. Grinding Barley rather lower.

NEWCASTLE-O; -TYNE, AUGUST'
16.—Thy supply of
Wheat from the farmers to-day was small, and the arrivals
coastwise and from abroad are to a limited extent only; taking
into account the decline in the value of Wheat at most of the
principal markets, and splendid weather for harvest operations
in the south, a fair consumptive demand for Wheat was experi-
enced to-das, at rates fully equal to last Tuesday; but the
reduction since this Clay se nnight is fully Is. per quarter on
all descriptions of quality. Grinding Barley a fair sale at late
rates. In Pease or Beans hardly anything passing. English
and Scotch Oats brought quite as much money as last week,
Foreign, unless of fine quality, difficult to quit, although not
actually lower. In the value of Flour no change can be reported.
CORK, AUGUST 16.—We never had a duller Flour market
than this week ; prices are only nominal, and the tendency
downwards. There is a small business in Wheat at prices in
favour of buyers. Indian Corn continues neglected.
WISBECEI, AUGUST 16.—There haB been a small market to-
day, and only a few samples of Wheat offering, with a slow
trade at about last week's rates. Nothing doing in Beans and
Oats.

BELFAST, AUGUST 15.—The weather during the last week
has been warm, but showery, and the crops are rapidly ripen-
ing. The disease in the Potato becomes more and more general.
and our market is largely supplied, at pi ices varying from 2s.
2d. to 3s. 3d. per cwt. The supplies of farmers' grain continue
trifling. At this day's market, Oats and Oatmeal were in dull
demand, at rather higher prices. Other articles as last reported.
Indian Corn was in small demand at our quotations.
DUBLIN, AUGUST 15.—Flie weather since Tuesday has been
rather unsettled, but this day it is fine. We have again to re-
port a very dull market, and an extreme difficulty in effecting
sales of old Grain, with the exception of best feeding Oats, for
which even a small advance was realised. The quantity of
new Grain increased, and sold as follows :—Bere at Bs. 6d. to
9s. 3d. ; Oats at lls. to 128. ; and Rapeseed, 17s. to 18s. 6d.

BiGA?IY.—A CONSIDERATE JURY.—George Tredwell
i wasindicted at the Gloucester assizes, for bigamy, at
Bristol. John Williams deposed that, on the 30th June,
1845, the prisoner was married to one Ann Pitt, at Holy
Trinity Church, in the parish of St. Philip and St. James,
Bristol. Eliza Beek, the prisoner's second wife, deposed
that he married her at Temple Church, Bristol, in Dec.
last. She had heard he was a married man, but under-
stood that his wife had two husbands, and that, therefoTes
he was at liberty to marry a second wife. Another wit.
ness corroborated the fact of the second marriage, and
constable proved a statement by the prisoner to the
effect that he should not have married Beek, but that his
first wife was a bad one. This the prisoner now repeated
on his trial; and added, that Pitt ill-treated his mother.
The jury found that the prisones was guilty, but that he
was obliged to get married a second time in consequence
of the bad conduct of his first wife. (Shouts of laughter.)
