The Scotch Markets are the Returns of the Week before. Dalkeith and Haddington are given by the boll.-The Scotch boll for Wheat, Rye, Pease, and Beans, is three per cent. more than 4 bushels. The bell of Barley and Oats, is about 6 bushels Winchester, or as 6 to 8 compared with the English quarter. Liverpool, Aug. 1.-Since Tuesday last the weather has continued as favourable as possible for the harvest, which being, probably the eariest ever remembered, has produced here a very dull demand for Wheats throughout the past week. The importations appear heavy, but they are principally foreign. There was a good demand at this day's market for good fresh old Foreign Wheat, at a small reduction in value from the last quotations. Oats continue in good demand, and fine sweet Oatmeal obtained an advance of 2s. per 240 lbs. Other articles remain much the same as last advised. Imported into Liverpool from the 25th to 31st July, 1826, inclusive: Wheat, 14,186; Barley, 905; Oats, 5,457; Malt, 230; Beans, 460; and Pease, 278 quarters. Flour, 280 sacks, per 280 lbs. Oatmeal, 723 packs, per 240 lbs. American Flour, 500 barrels. Guildferd, Aug. 5.-Wheat, new, for mealing, 137. to 177. 10s. per load. Barley, 50s. to 35s. 6d.; Oats, 28s. to 34s.; Beans, 50s. to 54s.; and Pease, grey, 50s. to 56s. per quarter. Norwich, Aug. 5.-We had a large supply of Wheat to this day's market, many samples of the new crop that are of fine quality. Red sold from 46s. to 52s.; White to 56s. Barley, 28s. to 32s. Oats, 22s. to 27s. Beans, 42s. to 48s. Pease, 42s. to 45s. per quarter; and Flour, 42s. to 43s. per sack. Bristol, Aug. 4.-The supplies of Corn here are rather increased; the demand steady, and present prices about as follow:-Wheat from 5s. 6d. to 7s. 9d.; Barley, 3s. 3d. to 4s. 9d.; Oats, 2s. 9d. to 3s. 9d.; Beans, 4s. 6d. to 7s.; and Malt, 5s. 6d. to 3s. per bushel, Imperial. Flour, Seconds, 37s. to 49s. per sack. Ipswich, Aug. 5.-We had to-day scarcely any market, our farmers being so busily engaged in their harvest. So little business was doing that prices are only nominal. Wisbech, Aug. 5.-We had a very small market to-day, and the little business done was at about the terms of last week, except in Wheat, which was a trifle lower. A few samples of new appeared; the quality inferior to the old.-Red Wheat, 50s. to 54s.; White ditto, 54s. to 56s.; Oats, 24s. to 28s.; and Beans, 44s. to 46s. per quarter. Wakefield, Aug. 4.-Our arrivals here to-day are very moderate, particularly of Wheat, being much smaller than for some time back. Fine fresh Wheat has met very dull sale at a decline of 1s. per quarter, and up to the close of the market very little business has been done; middling sorts and Foreign are very unsaleable. Good fresh Oats are scarce, and full as dear. Shelling obtains last week's prices, and 39s. has been refused for a sample of new. No alteration in Beans. Manchester, Aug. 5.-The causes adverted to this day se'nnight still continue in similar operation, and the trade throughout this week has ruled extremely dull. We had a better attendance of both town and country dealers at this day's market; and although only few samples were offering, they were more than equal to the demand. Wheats were much neglected, and to have effected any sales of moment, a trifling reduction must have been submitted to. We had a few parcels of new Wheat, of fine quality and condition, both English and Irish. Good mealing Oats are scarce; and although rather lower in the carly part of the week, fully support our currency. Barley, Beans, Pease, and Malt, continue steady. Newcastle-on-Tyne, Aug. 5.-We had rather a short supply of Wheat from the farmers this morning, but there were a good many arrivals coastwise, and the weather being very fine, the sale for Wheat was dull, at a decline of 2s. per quarter from last week's prices. COUNTRY CATTLE AND MEAT MARKETS, &c. Norwich Castle Meadow, Aug. 5.-The supply of Cattle for slaughter to-day was similar to that of last week, very inferior in quality, prices 7s. 6d. per stone of 14lbs. sinking offal. The show of Store Stock was large; Scots sold from 3s. 9d. to 4s. 3d. per stone, when fat. The Short Horns, what few we had were not good; 3s. per stone was obtained for what were sold. Cows and Calves not a ready sale. Manchester, Aug. 2.-At this day's market there was a large supply of Cattle, Sheep, and Lambs, (the former chiefly Irish,) which met very dull sale, and barely supported our quotations.-Čalves and Pigs remain without alteration in value.-Meat, Beef, 5d. to 6d.; Mutton, 5d. to 54d.; Lamb, 4d. to 5d.; Veal, 54d. to 7d.; and Pork, 3d, to 4d. per pound, sinking offal.
