—ad a revolting instance of the diabolical crime of in-
cendiarism, committed on the farm of Mr. John Foster, a
highly respectable and opulent farmer residing at Great Carl-
ton, a village about seven miles from Louth. On Monday
morning, about ten o'clock, a man galloped into Louth about-

WEDNESDAY. Nov. 2
The trade is very heavy this morning, and the supplies are small
of every article, excepting Irish Oats. The business is confined to
the retail trade, and the prices are nominally the same as on the
last market day. Though the price of Wheat is very low, and
in the opinion of many persons certain to be much higher in the
spring, yet capital cannot be obtained for the purpose of specula-
tion, as the recent failures of large houses has brought all the
corn bills into a very discredited character in Lombard-street.
There is every prospect of the duties remaining prohibitory for
some time to come.
