LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE.-YESTERDAY,

N change of wind and more

;ettled weather has brought

large arrival of foreign Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Beans,-and
several vessels got in this morning, in addition to the reported
quantity, which caused buyers at this day's market to act with
snore than ordinary caution. The English supply of Wheat was
only moderate, the trade opened dull, and our millers bought
sparingly, but at the c ose the stands were pretty well cleared
at a reduction of about 2s per quarter. Free foreign Is lower,
but at this decline there was a good demand for shipment to
Ireland, also for barrel Flour at a proportionate reduction.
English Barley 2s, foreign 2s to 3s, Malt Is lower. This large
arrival of foreign Oats has greatly depressed the trade; and
even at a reduction of Is per quarter Irish were neglected, and
foreign only in limited request, the feeling of the dealers and
consumers being that they shall shortly make their purchases
on still lower terms. Beans and Peas in fair consumptive de-
mand, without any change in value.

SMITFIFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YESTERDAY

The supply being more than the wants of the dealers, the
Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a decline in the
quotations of 2d. per sib., and a clearance was not effected.

.
The droves from the north comprised 2100 short-horns; from
the western and midland districts, 900 Herefords, runts, De-
vons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds;
from Ireland, 90; and from Scotland. 120 Beasts.
The numbers of Sheep were not so large as those exhibited
on Monday last ; yet the Mutton trade was in a sluggish state,
and the currencies declined 2d. per 81b.
In Calves, the supply of which was good, very little was
doing, and the prices had a downward tendency.
Pigs moved off slowly, on easier terms.

CASE OF DISTRESS

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD,

SlR,—Will you, by kindly inserting these few lines,
call the attention of your benevolent readers to the fol-
lowing case :—T. R., who supported himself, wife, and
seven children, by the earnings of three horses, has, since
January, 1345, by a succession of reverses, been reduced
to the verge of destitution. The following is a summary
of his trials, viz., a very severe fracture of his leg, the loss
of three horses in succession, a long and serious illness,
and, lastly, a second a.:cident, but no bones broken.
The heavy debts incurred unavoidably for forage, stable
rent, &c., have been added to by the seizure of his two
horses by one of his creditors, and their detention for
several days, till redeemed by a gentleman who providen-
tially became acquainted with the circumstances. T. R.
has now but one horse. It is hoped that a sufficient sum
may be raised to purchase another horse. and to pay off
his debts; thus, as it were, setting him on his legs again,
and securing him, with the favour of God's providence,
from the workhouse. Nearly £lOO will be required to
effect this, for which contributions will be thankfully re-
ceived at Mr. Perris's, Church-street, and at the office of
this paper, where inquiries as to character, &c., will be
satisfactorily answered. H.
170, Grove-street.

THE C,,URT 4- FASHIONABLE WORLD.

Her Majesty will leave Windsor in a few days on a
visit to Arundel Castle, the seat of the Duke of Norfolk.

His Royal Highness the youthful heir apparent's natal
day, on Thursday next, when he will complete his fifth
year, will be celebrated by public dinners at Windsor, &c.
The Earl and Countess of Sefton, after spending a few
days with the Earl of Eglinton, at Eglinton Castle, have
arrived at Croxteth. The noble earl is much improved in
health from his sojourn in Scotland.

On Sunday, the Cyclops steam-frigate and Pottinger
steam-ship got on shore off Cowes, but were fortunately
got off without damage.

By the Royal Tar,-which arrived at Southampton on
Saturday evening, at six o'clock, from the Peninsula, we
have dates, Lisbon 21th, Oporto 26th, Vigo 27th, and
Corunna 28th ultimo. They bring nothing more than
might have been expected. The insurgents of Oporto
were in possession of the town and the government war
steamers. The Miguelites were of course on the alert to
take advantage of the disastrous state of things. A large
proportion of the population appeared to be favourable to
Don Miguel.

Those who want really good and well fed native oysters
should visit Mr. Duffey's rooms, in Hanover-street.
Messrs. Peter Metge and Co. advertise some rare Irish
malt whiskey in our payer to-day. Their connexions in
the sister country enable them to get it genuine as
distilled.

L AM—the celebrated Lltham—commenced his
tripe suppers on Tuesday lest. The number present ex-
ceeded fifty ; and the fare was such as to call forth not
only admiration of the assembled company, but an ex-
press toast for the welfare of the house and its tenants.
Mr. Poore has removed from his recent premises to a
new and complete establishment, on the west side of
Castle-street, where, in order to meet his necessary busi-
ness, he has made many considerable and beautiful

alterations

THEATRE ROYAL.—Mr.Jacobs has again, throughout
the past week, attracted crowds to witness his amusing
and wonderful performances. This, we believe, is Mr.
Jacobs' last week, though if he continue to "draw" as he
has hitherto don?, we would advise him to ride upon the
tide so long as it flows in his favour.
An excellent farce, called " Miles's Boy," replete with
wit, and abounding in happy incidents, from the pen of a
resident townsman, was produced at the Liver Theatre
yesterday evening week. The author, Mr. Pelgrim,
played a leading character, and, with his original drollery,
kept the house in one continued roar of laughter.

NOVEMBER FASHIONS.-Those who have not yet
inspected the fashions for the ensuing winter, should
peruse the excellent coloured work published by Mr.
Walmsley, of Church-street. It is decidedly the best
shilling fashion book published, and as the novelties it
contains are numerous, it is worthy the attention of oar

fair readers.
THE PICTORIAL ALMANAC.—This is a most elegant
and useful publication. It is embellished with a large
number of beautifully-executed engravings, and abounds
in every page with important information for the man of
business, the gardener, the farmer, the sportsman, and
the naturalist. We have had many cheap almanacs, but
this is the cheapest of the cheap.
PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS, AND REGISTRATION Of
DESIGNS.—We direct attention to an advertisement in
our present number, announcing that Mr. J. S. Walker,
of the office of this paper, will furnish any parties apply-
iny to him with all requisite information relative to the
obtaining of patents, or of registration (under the acts)
for inventions and discoveries.

THE RIVERSD ALE ESTATE.—A prospectus of the in-
tention to bring out this estate in lots suitable for build-
ings of a superior class, appears in our advertising
columns. The mode of disposing of the lots seems sim-
ple, efficacious, and likely to meet the wishes of put-
chasers. A most beautiful lithographed plan of the
estate, with designs for the buildings, has been executed,
and is on view in the window of our publishing office.
SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS.—The Concert-hall
was densely crowded on Saturday evening, and some
hundreds were unable to gain admission. Mr. Brahma
and his two sons were the great attraction. The
vocal powers of the veteran Braham become wonderful;
as be advances in his years exquisite taste improves;
and, though his voice is weaker than formerly, his
powers of modulation are equal, it not superior, to what
they were when in the height of his professional career.
We understand that, in consequence of the disappoint-
ment of those who were unable to gain admission, the di-
rectors have again engaged him to appear on the 16th in-
stant. Mr. Alexander, professor of elocution, recited
" Mark Anthony's Oration," and a comic piece, between
the parts, both of which were loudly applauded.
