Me&nwhae , ihe country is ^ profoundly tranquil : " is traaqnil as CGoNSKii conld possibly wish it to be , to save him from the necessity of meeting attack with the threatened physical resistance . But amidft all the tranguUiiy , a dehokstraho . of an nnusnal character has been made throughout the conn ties of Limerick ,. Clare , Tipperary ^ Cork , and Kerry : a demensiration too , that has caused no small share of alarm . The following extracts from the Irish papers win explain its nature , tbongh the object of it is not so apnarent : —
"The hills through the counties of Limerick , Clare , snd SSpperary , ware iUnminsted 'last night by large fires , which shed their lisbtover a circumference of at least twenty miles . The * oenB was really beautiful and imposing ; hut what occasioned so unusual an occurrence we iaanot even gnesa aU ° —Limerick Reporterof Frifiay . " last night , 'between the honrs of seven and eight o ' clock , the entire country was literally covered with
fires . From every eminence throughout the C 9 unties ol limerick , Clare , and TipptraTy , a fire bhzsd , and all shot into light almost simultaneously . In several instances the fires biased en the public roads , the torches were to be seen borne along by the people 1 i every direction . It was reilly wonderful to witness the exactness witQ which each fire , for xnilea round , bl » z ? d into light , almost at the aame moment . The meaning of thosa fires we cannot ascertain . "Xipperary Constitution -of Friday .

" — Cork Consiilutien . " On Thursday night the \ rbole country surrounding limerick , for an area of many miles , including portions of the counties limerick , Clare , and Tipptrary , and
the banks of the Shannon , cot either sine of the river , fnrniihed , almost simultaneously , glowing indications of * a -demonstration , ' the real meaning of which did not transpire , Fires -were blEz ' -ng in all directions , far as the eye conld reach , and the illumination was general . The alarm to many families residing in and beyond the suburbs was extremely painful , and such fearful indications are regarded with anything but pleasure in the present state of the country . The formidable signal fires referred to , we since learn , were seen to spread into the conn Has of Cork andTferry , with almost magic rapid ity . * —Limerick Chromde .
MOKE STMPIOMS OP ACTION . Tie twelve jstaff officers who were lately engaged in the business cf enrolling the Chelsea out-pensioners in England , arrived here this morning before that object was completed in the sister country , for the purpose of effecting it with aU possible despatch in this . So great appears to be the emergency , that this day they enrolled at KThnnrnhmn upwards of 2 ^ 008 of the out-pensibnexa of Dublin , and intend going without the slightest delay all through Ireland for as similar purpose , which , when fully perfected , will-place a very large force at the in-Bt&nt command of the authorities .
The two extra companies of artilleiy l » m Wool wicb arrived here last night by the city of Dublin aieampactet , tbe Birmingham , and marched into Portobello , imrrarkR , So nntxpeeted was the arrival of these troops that a company of the 60 th & fUs , who occupied quarters in Portobelk ) , had to vacate at an hour ' s notice . The Boyal Dragoons are expected to arrive here from Xrverpool by to-morrow morning . Toe destination of the regiment Is as yet unknown , but it is supposed that it will proceed to Newbridge , to replace the i £ h Dragoons , ordered toXongford , which is again f 9 > e head-quarters for a regiment of cavalry . There is a visible appearance of renswed energy on tie part of tfee authorities , and everything betokens preparations for some unexplained and mysterious emergency . —Times , Wednesday .
LOYAL NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION OPENING OF THE CONCILIATION HALLHOXDAT . To-day the meeting of the Repeal Association was held in the Conciliation HalL -This , -bsildinr ocenpies a considerable ext-nt of ground , being € t ) feet in front along the quay , by 100 feet in d «? pth . The first story of the front is composed of six plain pilasters , surmounted by a belting course , and contains three entrances . Over the centre or larger gateway is a representation of the ancient Irish crown and harp , and over the two side doors-are Irish wolf dogs , in stone . The upper story consists alsa of six pilasters , with ornamented capitals , and
having facsimiles of Brian Borourhe s harp and crown in the centre of the foliage . The spaces between the pilasters are pierced for windows , having alternately raking and circular pediments , sopported by lesser pilasters , and enriched consols . The pilasters of the second story support an entablature and cornice , with raking pediment ? the delta feeing occupied by a wreath of shamrocks , encircling the inscription—* The Uepeal Year , 1845 . " The whole is snrmonnted by ^ bulastrade , with two reverse 6005013 and cornucopia Changing from the volute . Apedes * al is placed on the apex of the pediment , having in front ths crest of O'Connell , sni-Tonnded by a wreath of oak leaves in relief .
The interior of the building will , when finished , have a very heantifnl and striking appearance . It is entirely surrounded by a large oval gailery , divided Into iwo parts—one towards the front being free for ladies , having ihe entrance in one of the front 4 oors ; and the other , to which admission is gained through the Corn Exchange , being appropriated to ladies who have paid £ 1 to the funds of the association , or pay Is . each for admission . The chairman ' s seat is . on - an elevated platform ^ surrouncied by railing , a * the extremity of the hall opposite ihe principal entrance . In front of the chair are two enclosed spaces , one for the secretary , and the other for the reporters of the pnblio press ;
and on ether side are raised seats for members , having a partition between the subscribers of ill and the collectors of twenty associates' shillings . The former class wiU be admitted through the Goni Exchange , and the latter * t the entrance from "Whiter-lane . Mr . 0 'Gonnell's seat is to the right of the reporters * table , on a small slightly raised platform , which , as well as the platform containing the chairman ' s seat , is carpeted . The space in front , comprising about three-fourths of the entire hall , is reserved for associates , and is elevated by a s * ep of nine inches in height at the distance of every twelTa feet towards the entrance . The hslliB lighted by the fire windows in front , and by eight semicircular
windows at the sides and rear . The -ceiling is fiUghtly curved , and is divided into compartments , which , waen completed , will be richly ornamented with stucco work . The panelling in front of the gallery will likewise be beautifully ornamented with paintings . Mr . Harvey's full-lengtb picture of Mr . O'Connell , painted for £ be Catholic Association , which , has been recently purchased by the Committee of ' the Repeal Association for 100 gnineas , will oe . placed immediately behind the cnair . The materials of which the hall is built are , as far as posable ,, Irish—the stone and hme being from ths neignbonrhood of Dublin , and the slates from the quarries at JGUtim . The hall , exclusive , of staircase , & < % , is fifty feet in breadth bv ninetv-fonr in
iengtn , and thirty-feet in-height . - , PopularexcitemeBt never attained fineh a height \ m the metropolis on any similar occasion .

At a few minutes after one o ' clock ,
Mr . O'Connell presented himflelf on the platform and mi warmly applauded . The Hon . Gentleman siiditww his pleasing duty to begin the proceed ings in the Conciliation : Hall , by moving that the chair be taken by John AEgastus O'Neill ; Esq ., of Bunowen Castle , * gentleman of the most ancient lineage , large fortune , and unquestionable patriotism - ?{ cieerj ^ . : : : ' John A .

O'Connell ) , Mr . O'Neil then entered at much length into a defence of himself and the speech he delivered last Monday , which he complained had been too briefly reported in some journals , and too violently attacked intheJUvening Mail , the editor of which he called upon to say whether he believed that he ( John A . ugUBtuB O'Neill ) would or would not be guilty of selling himselfTor a corropt purpose to the association—( hear , hear ) . The principle passages of his speech , the omission of which he complained of were , " That no earthly consideration would induce him to embark in the Repeal movement , if he for one moment thought that it would he injurious to any man upon account of hia Teligion "—( hear , hear ) , — -and that " every Repealer ' -would ^
npport the Protestant BucceBsion as by law established "—( cheers ) . That day week he endeavoured to establish a kindly feeling between all parties ; hut he was abused for doing so , and even accused of sedition . If he had been guilty of sedition , it was not for the Mail , but her M&jeaty ' s Attorney-General , to accuse him © fit . Through a spirit of conciliation he requested the Liberator to abandon the use of the word " Saxon , " because it was offensive to England . The request was granted , but what was his ( Mr . O'Neill ' s ) reward ! Wby , he was called a " dog , " that being the best name which a writer in ihe Mail could find for an Irish patriot . ( Groans . ) Nay more , —he was called by that writer " a corrupt dog , " who sold himself to the Repeal Association for a stipend —( groans ) . Be could only sav , that if he had sacrificed his fortune seeking for
universal liberty , as his friend the Liberator had done , he should not be ashamed to become a pensioner upon public gratitude—( cheers ) . Referring to the presence of military at the Clontarf meeting , Mr . O'Neill remarked , that Ireland was not to be intimidated by soldiers . No , —and let the press note his words ^—for although 28 , 000 men were sufficient to punish the rebelB of Ireland , 100 , 000 would not be sufficient to put down the cry for repeal—( . great applause . ) Their Protestant fellow-countrymen were only estranged from the movement because they got n into their heads that it was a subject connected with religion . If it were he would cut off his right hand before he would consent to be a member of the association ; but he could answer for it , that repeal would benefit men of all religions and parties —( bear , hear ) . He would have no connexion with a party which would aot oppressively towards Protestants . "
Mb . O'Cossbll . — -We never did , and we never will—( cheers ) . Mb . O'Neill then largely quoted from the speeches ef Fox , to show that the straggle of a nation for selfgovernment , although laboriousjwas seldom ineffectual , referred to the conduct of Wellington and Peel on the question of Catholio emancipation , to show that he , like other men , might chango his political opinions without sacrifice of principle , vindicated the present agitation from having injured the tradesmen of Dublin by preventing the visit of the Queen , explained the meaning of a federal Parliament , and described the manner in whioh the Belgian revolution had been effected . M Belgium , " he said , " had succeeded accidentally by foreign intervention—but
Ireland would depend upon Irishmen and on God "—( cheers ) . If it should be the pleasure of a rash minister , forgetful of the law of God and man—and such a forgctfulness he by no means attributed to the Doke of Wellington , who always during Mb campaigns was most aarefol of human life—but if , for a moment , he should think of steeping in the blood of Irishmen the laurels which Ireland ' s sous had placed on his brow , there still remained for them an interposing power between him and the nation—they could look to the Qaeen . Should the Duke resolve to act as he had described , of which from his soul he acquitted him , one might imagine the Qaeen , in the words of Shakspeare , exclaiming to him—** Beware , tuke heed how you awake the slumbering sword of
war ; I charge you , in the name of God , take heed 1 " His opinion was , that if repeal was held back too long it would create national bankruptcy , while if at once conceded , it would be productive of peaee , prosperity , & indissoluble connexion with England : bnt if a collision should take place—if the Almighty in His anger withdrew His protection from the empire , the same Gazette which proclaimed the victory of England over her twin sister , would announce that one nation was depopulated and the other tottering on the brink of ruin . ( Hear . ) He cautioned them against committing any acts of violence which should lay the ruin at their dons . Dearer interests than their own were involved in the present movement . Their children ' s interest i ? ere invelved in the surb&ss of
the repeal . Let them not peril the prosperity of their offspring by rashness and their own souls by committing wrong—( hear)—and , with the blessing of God , the sun of Irish prosperity , which was already above the horizon , would soon illuminate the temple they had raised to national independence and imperial concord . —( Loud cheers ) . Mr . O'Cojwell then rose and said , —The first sentence I wish to otter in the CoBcilliation-hall is this truth , —that there is only one way of obtaining a Repeal of the Union , and that is , by using none bnt peaceable and legal means—( hear ) . My , second sentence is , that the Repeal is certain—( loud and longcontinued cheering , waving of hats , handkerchiefs , & . c ) . Yes , Repeal is certain , provided you use no other than peaceable and legal means— ( cries of * we won ' t ") . . My excellent friend the chairman ,
through motives of the purest allegiance , has warned th « Government against using force against the people . I warn the people againBt giving the Government the least pretence for using it . Let not a single aet of violence be committed in town or country by any portion of the people . If violence be attempted by anybody else , the party unjustly attacked , shall be defended and protected by the strong arm of legal vengeance —( loud cries of hear , hear , and cheering ) . I promised the master butchers , as they gave me the largest sum , that I would hand in their money first . I therefore beg leave to hand from them £ 160—( hear , hear ) . I am now about to make a motion of the utmost importance to the liberty of Ireland . I shall not say one word in support of it . It is , That W . S . O'Brien , Esq . M . P . for the county of Limerick , be admitted a member of the Association —( entbusiastio cheering ) .
Mr . O'Cojwejx then read the letter in which Mr . O'Brien assigned his reasons for joining the association ; and having concluded it , said , that Mi . O'Brien had been an anti-Repealer , but events had shown him that there was nothing but Repeal for Ireland . He was honest -as an anti-Repealer—O ! be was honest and brate now that be was a Repealer—( cheers . ) Referring to the distinction which had been made between a federal and an independent Legislature , Mr- O'Connell declared that it was an independent Legislature he was looking for —( hear , hear . ) He did not mean a Legislature independent of England or the British Crown , bat dependent on , and united to , England by the golden link of the Crown . To the continuance of the connection between the two countries he was firmly attached ,
provided it were continued on fair terms ; one of which , he insisted , Ehoald bB the revival of that Parliament of which Ireland had been deprived by the foulest means . This language might be held to be inconsistent with what he said on the support ef a federal Parliament last Monday . To prove that it was not , the Hon . Gentleman said , he had since declined an overture of support on the part of the Whigs , if he consented to limit his demand to a federal Parliament ; and that , in reply to the offer of support from England , he merely said that he would give every guarantee that separation was not his object . He also referred to the admission of Dr . Kennedy , Catholic Bishop of Killaloe , and the offer to admit Mr . S . Crawford ( both federalists' ) as a
memof the Association , to show that previous to the prosecutions he was as ready as now to unite with t > . e men who did not go as far a 3 himself . He would not reject the assistance of any man who would go any part whatever of the way with him . He would be glad of the assistance of every man who was for Repealing the Act of Union ; as after that he would obtain the best Parliament he could , for Ireland—( hear , hear ) . He owed it to himself and the Association topnt themselves in the right before the country , and to show that , althongh they had every disposition to conciliate , they had no disposition to compromise- ^ ( cheers ) . From the occurrences of the last fortnight , he hoped . that the Government and Britfch statesmen generally had
derived a useful lesson . He hoped they were now convinced that they never wonld have a rebellion in Ireland again—that there never would again be an attack on the part of the people —( cheers ) . If the Government chose to continue the present contest , there was sufficient determination amongst the people to continue it also , rather than resort to violence . The Hon . Gestkman then moved , that the thanks and gratitude of the Irish people be offered to Mr . W . S .. O'Brien—that his letter be printed by the Association , and a copy of it transmitted to every member of both Huusesbf Parliament , and that it be placarded through the cities and towns of England , in order that the people of England might begin to know toe Teal state of tha question . The » thanks and gratitude were the more particlarly due to Mr . O'Brien on account of the period at which he chose to come amongst them—a period when , they were under prosecution by the Government , who had the
sword uplifted at one side and the lawyer ' s tongue or pen on the other . Agreed to . Amongst an immense number of sums of money here handed in , were £ 107 from the Post-office ? S i ^" 8801 * o * yesterday ' s meeting ) , £ 150 from Philadelphia , £ 65 from Waterford , £ 100 from Washington , and £ 170 from the north of Ireland—( Great cheering ) . Mr . O'Cormoj . then rose to allude to the letters of PhUaleAes , " in the Morning Chronicle . The word had been oomcilystated to mean a "lover of troth " '¦{ Sift 2 i ?^ » Bsumed it as the writer of those p ^?^ 7 ?? taath ° ? ] * «¦ * distance—( hear . hear ) . & £ l £ 2 ?

Some persons spoke of a Whig coalition ;

but what was the conduct of the Whigs towards them in this instance ? The organ of the WhigB , the Morning Chronicle , published Mr . Trevel yan ' s two letters immediately after the issuing of the proclamation . The man himself admitted that he came over here with the grossest prejudices ; and the people on his arrival laughed at him iu consequence , and told him the most ridiculous stories , which he nevertheless believed—suoh as the people were to take Dublin Castle with dung-forks—( laughter)—and that" GP O " on the . milestones- 'meant God preserve O'Connell—( Great laughter ) . He ( Mr . O'Connell ) believed that he was the man who circulated the ridiculous story of the duel between Mr . Croker and Mr . Creagh , of Cork . He was going
about Mallow , making enquiries regarding everything , when two friends got up a conversation in his presenee , by which he was led to believe Mr . Croker had been wounded in a duel with Mr . Creagh , caused by a difference regarding him ( Mr . O'Connell ) . Off he posted at once to Cork and pat it in the newspapers , and the gentlemen whose names were mentioned had the trouble of publishing contradictions —( ' ' hear , " and laughter ) . He complained also , that the writer of these letters had the audacity to assert that the rebellion of 'SB was a Popish rebellion ; when it was well known , that in its origin the leading men weT 6 Presbyterians and Protestants —( hear , hear ) . There were two battles fought in the north , Ballynahinch and Antrim , before the
Society of United Irishmen , was forced on other parts of the country . It was a shame for an Englishman , and an office * of th& Treasury , to falsify history in that manner . He concluded by giving notice of two resolutions , the first relating to the preparation of petitions from every parish in the kingdom , and the other proposing that a conciliatory address to their Protestant and Presbyterian fellow-countrymen be forthwith prepared and issued . For his own part , he solemnly assured them , that he would not take repeal if it gave Gatholio ascendancy—( hear , hear . ) Mr . NupENT , R . A . ( which means not Royal Academician , but Repeal Arbitrator ) , on handing in some money from 'imgstown , said that the people were determined to follow O'ConnelVs advice , but At
the same timb were resolved to have no compbomisk . He for one never would—( loud and continued cheering ) . Mr . O'CoNiYELL rose and make some remarks upon the great confusion which existed in the assembly , and the frequent disturbancess created b y disorderly persons passing out of their places . He said he would conclude as he had begun . The repeal had made
Jl PROGRESS WHICH ACTTJAiLr STABTLED HIMSELF—( loud cheering ) . He called upon the people then not to check that progress by violence , although many thing ? would no doubt occur to provoke them to it —( cheers ) . ThoHon . Gentleman alluded to a person singing " a most bigoted and improper ballad " io the streets a few nights ago , who would not desist from doing so till handed over to the police ; and insinuated , as the ballad was better printed than usual , that it might be some person sent by their enemies to create disturbance among the people . He hoped Mr . Anderson , the printer , knew the name of the person who sent the ballad to him —( cheers ) . Let tflepeoplelookout for Paddy M'Kommis—( cheers and laughter ) . That was the sort of rat he wished them to catch—( renewed cheers and laughter ) . It was perjeclly clear that if they went on for six , ay , for three months , veaceably and ouiellv . Reveal was
certain —( loud cheers ) . He feared no outbreak now . Let them do their duty , and he would do bis . After some fnrther observations , the Hon . Gentleman announced that the Repeal rent for the week was £ 2284—( cheering which lasted for some minutes . ) He chen moved that the association should adjourn till one o ' clock to-morrow , for the purpose of bringing forward the two motions of which he had given notioe ; the first being for the formation of weekly reports connected with Repeal , and to shape an address to her Majesty to remove her present blundering Administration ; the other , to have petitions from all the parishes of Ireland , each petition with not mor « than 1000 names , signed separately , prepared to transmit to England , and to have simultaneous meetings of all the parishes for that , purpose . He had bo doubt 5 , 000 , 000 persons would sign them . ( Cheers . ) The meeting adjourned at six o ' clock till to-morrow

Frankfort . —More " hostile Tariffs ' "—It has now been officially confirmed that the Zollverein Congress of Berlin has adopted the measure of fixing an entrance duty { on raw iron from England , to the amount of fifteen eilver groshen ( about 18 d . ) per cwt . The circumstance that this measure was agreed to by a great majority of the members of the Congress , in opposition to the Prussian Government , has likewise obtained a full confirmation . The settlement of the duty on this important object of commerce between Eugland and Germany , deserves in itself full attention ; but this measure derives a Bfill greater importance from this circumstance , that it must be considered as the forerunner of a number of alterations
in the tariff of the Zolherein , all of them calculated to render more difficult the importation and the sale of English produce and manufacture in Germany , and thus to assist German industry in competition with the English . ! It is evident now that the majority of the Zallverein members have emancipated themselves from the domineering influence of Prussia . It is evident that the imprecations of the school ol List , and the system of protecting duties , are prevailing in the Council of the German Zollverein . The next measurelis to be directed against ihe English manufactures of cotton yarn and of cotton weaving in its different stages of perfection . But the wisdom of the protectors ] of German industry will not stop here . I
Apprehension jof a Parricide . —Our readers may remember that in the month of July last a horrible murder was committed at the village of Mount Tabor , near Halifax , Yorkshire . The victim was a man { named John Dobson , a weaver , Who was shot dead in his own house on the 4 th of that month by his own son , Joseph Dobson . The latter and his wife bad gone about a week before the lamentable occurrence to live with the father ; and during the jweek some quarrel took place between the son and his father , and the former , on the abovementioned day went about a mile from Mount Tabor , and took a gun out of the house of a man whom he knew , but who was not at home ,
and having purchased some powder and shot , returned home , and deliberately shot his father in ihe presence of his wife and two or three children . On first presenting the gun it missed fire , but being determined to wreak his vengeance on his unoffending parent , he put another cap on the weapon , and before tbe poor man had time to get out . of the house , he was shot through the heart , aud he dropped dead on the spot . The perpetrator of this horrid deed of blood immediately made hia escape ; and though great search was made for him , ' no traces could be discovered as to where he had gene . A coroner ' s jury sat on the body of the murdered man , and after a { full invstigation of the circumstances , thojury Unanimously returned a verdict of 11 Wilful Murder against Joseph Dobson . " A
Government reward of £ 100 was offered for the ap prehension of the- parricide , but he contrived to elude the officers of justice until Friday iast , when he was apprehended by a working man' named Speight , at Huddersfield , in the neighbourhood of which town he has been working for a few weeks as a weaver . He had cut his whiskerB off , so as to prevent identification , and when apprehended denied that his name was Joseph Dobson ; but on being given into the hands of Mr . Jonathan Leach , chief contable , he acknowledged that he waa the man , and instead of ] feeling compunction for the crime with whioh he is charged , he gave utterance to expressions of pleasure that he had taken his father ' s , life . On Saturday he was committed on the coroner ' s warrant to York for trial at the next assizes for that county .

Leeds Woollen Markets—The amount of business at both . Cloth Halls , during the week , has exceeded that of the week previous , and for goods of low price and heavy quality the demand is very greatly increasing , particularly in orders for the home trade . Nor , from the advices from abroad , is there any longer a doubt that for goods of British manufacture , and domestic consumption , a large demand has sprung up , of which there is every prospect , of a continuance . Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , Oct . 23 . —The supply of cattle at market to-day has been much the same as that of last week , without any alteration in prices . Beef , 4 id to 5 Jd ; mutton , U 5 | d per lb . —Cattle imported into Liverpool , from the 16 th to the 23 rd October .

York Corn Market , Oct . 21 . —Farmers being employed with field labour , we have but a small supply of Grain to-day . Wheat is ready sale , at an advance of 2 s to Zs per qr ; Oats ^ d per stone ; and Beans , 6 d per load andvano . Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 21 . —There has been a steady sale for every article for consumption during the week j and the aspect of the trade in all our leading markets has been that of progressive improvement . Supplies both from Ireland and by way of Wakefield have been tolerably extensive . At Liverpool yesterday , alJ articles bore some advance upon the prices of Tuesday ; whilst Wakefield 'mproved 2 s to 33 per qr , lor Wheat upon last week's rates . Our Corn Exchange
is fully attended to day . As regards Wheat , the demand runs principally upon new Irish , which realizes 3 d to 4 d per bushel advance upon the rates of our last ; the same improvement is quetable upon English : old , Id to 2 d per bushel higher . Good superfine flours , both English and Irish , are Is to Is 6 d per sack dearer , with a steady sale at the advanoe . Common supers and fines Ar » only in moderate demand , at an improvement of 6 d to Is per sack . Oats are held firmly at fully the rates of our last . Meal excites some attention , and there is more inclination to purchase at a small advance upon previous quotations . Beans are very scarce and fully Is per qr . higher . Malt steady at late prices .
State op Trade . —The recent fluctuations in the price of cotton at Liverpool , have produced some effect upon this market here . The demand , both for goods and yarn , was limited , yesterday , and the prices showed some little unsteadiness , though the greater psrt of the spinners and manufacturers still decline to sell , except at the extreme rates of the last fortnight . —Manchester Guardian , < >( Wed . Liverpool Corn Exchange , Tdesday , Oct . 24 ; —The week ' s arrivals of Wheat , Oats , Flour . and Oatmeal , to this port from Ireland , are of large amount ; and a few small cargoes of free foreign Wheat have been brought coastwise . The dutieson Wheat and Flour are now at the maximum—20 s per qr . and 12 s OJd per brl . respectively . We have continued to experience a good demand for
Irish new Wheat from the millers and dealers , and several further purchases have been made on speculation ; good runs of red have brought 6 s lOd to 7 s the best samples 7 s 2 dto 7 s 4 d per 79 lb , being 2 d to 3 d per bushel over the rates of Tuesday last . Rather higher prices have been required also for foreign Wheat ; but this 'description has not sold so freely as the new ; 8 s to 8 s 2 d has been paid for Lower Baltic red , and 8 s 6 * d to Bi 8 d for middling Danizig ; fine qualities of the latter are held at 9 s per 70 lb . Sack flour ha 3 met a free sale at an advance of Is per 280 lb . Some Canadian sweet has been disposed of at 3 Is per brl ; 33 s to 343 per brl . are the rates demanded for United States , free , at which , however , the vend is very limited .
Newca&tle-on-Iyne , Corn Market , October 21 . —The weather this week has been for the most part highly , favourable for seeding operations , in which considerable progress has been made . This morning however , we had a few hours' rain , but towards midday it cleared up , and has now a dry , settled appearance . At our market this morning , we had a large supply of Wheat from the growers ! but , the seed a 3 welt as speculative demand still continuing , a clearance was very early effected at an advance of 2 s to 4 s per quarter . In foreign some considerable transactions occurred during the week ; tor , in addition to our millers being free buyers , we have to note the purchase of about 4000 quarters for shipment coastways , which operation has had the effect of imparting much firmness to the trade , and to induce our holders to demand an improvement of fully 2 s per quarter to-day , whioh , however , in only partial instances , was complied With . The arrivals
of flour being trifling , a ready sale has been experienced for Norfolk households , as well as whites at full rates ; and , as our millers at the conclusion of the market came to the determination of advancing the price 2 s per sack * it is probable the next arrivals from the south may command a corresponding improvement ; but much will depend upon the aspect of other markets , whether the rise be sustained . Rye must be called Is . per quarter higher , with a good inquiry at the advance . Malting barley , in demand , more especially the choicest Norfolk qualifciea , which command fretty \ our top quotations Our maltsters having a sufficient supply of foreigQ i suoh sorts only met a limited inquiry . Malt with * out change . Beans firm , with , however , not much business doing . Grinding peas in good request , and looking higher ; but boilers remain stationary . Haying only a short supply of oats from the country , sates were readily effected at full former rates .
