LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, OCT. 31

The supply of E sex Wheat was again small ; moderate from
Kent. and there was very little from Suffolk ; our quotations of last
Monday were readily paid, and a tolerable clearance was made.
There were several buyers of foreign Wheat from the country, and
a larger quantity disposed of than for several weeks, but ,the s,me
rates as were paying last market (lay. Barley is Is cheaper. Peas
of all sorts and Beans remain without alteration. The Oat 1 rade
has improved since Friday, but is lower than this day se'n
WEDNESDAY, NCV. 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 faiiures of large houses has brought al 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.

About three weeks ago, a labouring man took a fine lively
specimen of the Cryllus Mygratorius, or Asiatic locust.:in
a field at Stonegravels, near Chesterfield, Derbyshire. The

insect was observed by the men, who, being struck by its
unusual appearance and great activity, joined in the pursuit,
and after a severe chase succeeded in capturing it in safety.
It is now in the cabinet of a gentleman in Chesterfield. We
understand that several other specimens of this destructive
# nsect have been taken in this and the neighbouring coma-
-1 ies in the present year. One of these was taken in the

town of Sheffield about the beginning of September. Ano-
ther was taken at Mickleover, near Derby, nearly at the

career as reporter on the Morning Chronicle (then under
the management of Mr. Perry), nearly half a century since,
and was considered one of the quickest short-hand writers
of his day. He was called to the bar in 1808, and shortly
after visited India, in which country he continued to practise
for several years. On his return to England, he was an-

pointed standing counsel to the East lndra Company, with a
handsome yearly salary. Although a powerful and clever
speaker, his address was much injured by a broad Scottish
accent, and his talents as a lawer were not considered of the
first order. On the passing of the Reform Bill, Mr. Spankie
contested the representation of Finsbury, on which occasion
he was returned with the Right Hon. R. Grant ; the un-
successful candidates being Messrs. Babbag, Wakley, and
Temple. Mr. Spankie entered the House of C9lll[llolo. as a
reformer, but occasionally voted with the opposition.

CITY CIIIIIICUES.—The Rev. Hartwell Horne, the rector
of St. Edmund the King and Martyr, and St. Nicholas
Acorn, Lombard-street, placed, on Sunday morning week,
the following circular in the pews of the church :—" The
Parishioners are respectfully informed that, in pursuance of
the directions and recommendations of the Right Rev. the
Lord Bishop of London, the following ecclesiastical regula-
tions will in future be carried into effect in the church of
these united
parishes, viz.:-1. The psalm or hymn, which
(under the authority of an injunction of Queen Elizabeth)
has hitherto preceded the commencement of morning and
evening service, will be discontinued. 2. Instead of that
psalm

hymn, a portion will be sung after

sect. 2. 5. Collections in aid of the Church of England
charities, or of other benevolent objects, which have hitherto
been made at the church doors, will in future be made (as
was usual in city churches a century ago, and conformably
to the practice of the church in her earliest and best days)
while the offertory sentences are read. 6. The Bishop re-
commended a more general attention to kneeling while the
prayers of the church are beinf; offered, and also to joining
more audibly in the responses.

LITERARY NOTICES,

Our Mess; Coombe Abbey; and The Commissioner
Walmsley, Liverpool.

These three publications, emanating as they do from the

Dublin press, are extremely creditable in every way. In
" Our Mess," we find Jack Hinton taken prisoner by the
French, and figuring away on parole. He also makes his
appearance in Paris. This work is approaching a conclusion
"Coombe Abbey" increases in interest; and "The Com-
missioner" is evidently coming to a denouement. We re-
commend all these publications to notice.

SCOTLAND WARD,

In this ward there being no opposition to the Conservative
candidate, Mr. Richard Houghton walked the course. The
poll, in Burlington-street, was kept open for an hour, during
which a number of votes was formally recorded for that gen-
tleman. It was anticipated that Mr. Houghton would ad-
dress the electors at Mrs. Barton's, (his committee-room,)
but we regret to learn, that in consequence of indisposition,
he was confined within doors in Cheshire.

ABERCROM BY WARD

For the first time since the passing of the municipal reform
bill we have been permitted to return our candidate unop-
posed, for we cannot condescend to dignify the vexatious
trickery resorted to to keep open the poll by the name of
opposition; on arriving at or near the polling-place we were
surprised to see over the door of a small beer-shop, " John
Downey's Committee-room," and on the various walls in
the neighbourhood placards calling upon the electors to come
forward and record their votes in favour of "John Downey,
pawnbroker, Esq." Of course the success of Mr. Bushell,
the conservative candidate, was never placed in the slightest
jeopardy, as after two hours' polling Mr. Downey only num-
bered 6 votes, whilst Mr. Bushell obtained 74. We had
hoped that the overwhelming majority (131) which the po-
pularity and firm consistency of Mr. Gladstone procured at
the last election would have put an end to any further con-
fusion in the ward ; but we cannot make much impression
on radical minds. The reaction in favour of constitutional
principles is, probably, more significant and gratifying in this
ward than in any other. For three years after the present
mode of iotroducing our municipal representatives into the
Town Council was commenced, the radicals succeeded in ob-
taining a majority ; but in 1838, when Mr. Gladstone presented
himself as a candidate, the ward was rescued from their domi-
nation, and since, the conservative majorites have progressively
increased, until we have had this year merely the display of a
candidates name, without the introduction of anything more
substantial. The ward still continues conservative to the back -
bone, and such men as Messrs. Gladstone, Procter, and
Bushell, are not likely to be ejected from their honourable
positions by any opposition which the whole strength of radi-
calism can at any time bring against them. We once more
return our thanks to Mr. Muncaster, and a few more such as
he, for the strenuous exertions which they continue to make
use of to further the interests of conservatism at every op-
portunity.

LITERARY NOTICES.

Our Mess; Coombe Abbey; and The Commissioner.
Walmsley, Liverpool.
These three publications, emanating as they do from the
Dublin press, are extremely creditable in every way. In
" Our Mess," we find Jack Hinton taken prisoner by the
French, and figuring away on parole. He also makes his
appearance in Paris. This work is approaching a conclusion
" Coombe Abbey" increases in interest ; and " The Com-
missioner" is evidently coming to a denouement. We re-
commend all these publications to notice.

LIME-STREET WARD

The contest in Lime-street was between Robert Rigby,
Esq.—who was the first conservative ever able to break
through the fetters in which the ward was held by the radi-
cals—and Thos. Morecroft, Esq., who was a candidate last
year, and who has previously represented this ward in the
Town Council. From the circnmstance of Lime-street being
the largest ward in the town, and the narrow majority—B—
by which Mr. Morecroft was defeated by Mr. J. B. Lloyd
last year, the struggle excited greatinterest,and was expected
to be a very close one. Mr. Rigby's popularity in the ward,
however, and the activity which he has displayed on all oc-
casions to forward its interests, inspired his friends with
great confidence in the success of their candidate.
During the first hour the contest was a neck-and-neck
one, both parties putting forth all their energies ; and the
numbers stood as follows at

the purpose of a saw, and with this rude instrument he suc-
ceeded in sawing off the thumb of his right hand, between
the nail and the first joint, the separation of skin, flesh, and
bone being effected in the most complete manner. His ob-
ject is easily accounted for—viz., the disabling of himself for
future service. Fincher deserted from the Grenadier Guards

and Peto, the contractors for that portion of the line, who,
in conjunction with the company, have provided a chaplain
to preach on every alternate Sunday. F

Prayer-books are provided for the men and their families,
and instruction is given to those who cannot read. There is
a similar establishment on the Birmingham Railway at Wol-

be followed by another at the central station of the Grand
Junction Company at Crewe.

FAMILY HAIR OIL,

Patronised by Persons of Distinction, and held in the
highest estimation at the Toilet.
It renovates, and produces the finest lustre, even when the
Hair is on the decline or turning gray. It is more nutritious
than other Oils used for the same purpose. Its great utility
renders it of national importance. The testimonials and
kind recommendations of many distinguished personages in
Parliament remove any doubts of its efficacy, and it is the
first and only article for similar use ever sanctioned by Go-
vernment. The increasing demand will meet with every
attention.
The VEGETABLE SOAP is also highly esteemed for its
emolient properties, and has an equal claim to preference.
Sold at ls. per square and 10s. per dozen.—Family Oil, in
bottles for the toilet, 7s. 6d. and 10s. ; and pot boxes at 25.,
3s. 6d., and ss. each.
The great utility of the Family Oil was satisfactorily
proved on the 10th of April, 1830, in Parliament, when Mr.
Goulburn, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, was pleased to
grant the protection sought by the Proprietor.
Orders, addressed to the Proprietor, No. 6, Parker-street

SHAME

Conservative party have been successful in gaining
thirteen; that the majority in the Council is increased,
by the substitution of Conservatives for Radicals, by
three votes, and, by the substitution of sound Conserva-
tives for wavering Conservatives, by two more,—
making, in all, five votes. It is true that we have

achieved this, notwithstanding all the nefarious prac-
tices of our opponents—of which more anon ; but it is
also true that we have lost three wards by, we fear we
must call it, the shameful negligence, or even worse, of
