Some gentlemen had argued that he was entitled to the 250l. for his public services. If it was so, why not state the case openly and fairly, and not under cover of remuneration for rent?

Mr. Baxter begged to move, as an amendment to Mr. Whitworth's motion, that the accounts be audited.

Mr. Whitworth said he had a right to reply upon the amendment. He would ask if it was the custom in any public meeting, to move an amendment while a reply was making on the original motion.

Mr. Shuttleworth said he had frequently known Mr. Canning do so in the House of Commons.

Mr. A. Prentice suggested, that the best way to shorten the business of the meeting would be suffer Mr. Whitworth to proceed; and asked if Mr. Baxter would withdraw his amendment, and suffer the original motion to be put, as it was tinie that the meeting should come to some conclusion.

Mr. Aubrey then stated, that the commissioners had purchased the premises belonging to the executors of the late Mr. G. B. Marsden, in Toll-lane.

Mr. J. E. Taylor moved, that the commissioners should proceed to the improvement of Toll-lane; which was agreed to nem.con, and the meeting separated.

Friday, Nov. 24.-The arrivals of ( all sorts of Grain this week are moderate, and there is a fair quantity of Flour. The trade for Wheat is in much the same state as reported on Monday last. Barley is dull sale, at Monday's prices. Beans and Pease are without variation. Oats find slow sale, and feed samples are lower.

Monday, Nov. 27.-During the past week the arrivals of all sorts of Grain were tolerably fair, with a good quantity of Flour. This morning the supply of Wheat is good from Essex and Kent, but very small from all other parts. There are also short fresh arrivals of other descriptions of Grain. The Wheat trade commenced heavy, at last week's prices; but, in consequence of an advance of 3s. per sack being determined on the top price of Flour, the factors asked more money for Wheat, and 1s. per quarter higher was obtained for the best samples, but not any advance on other qualities.

Barley for Malting is 1s. per qr. lower; but Grinding samples are unaltered. Beans are reported 1s. per qr. cheaper, and Grey Pease are also 1s. per qr. lower. Oats, during the preceding week, sold very heavily, and the prices declined 18. to 2s. per quarter, but to-day there has been more firmness in the trade, and the prices of last Monday are nearly obtained. Rapeseed has advanced 1. per last.

HOPS.

Price of Hops, per Cwt. in the
Borough.

Monday, Nov. 27.-Since the announcement of the Duties on Hops, viz. 269,331l. Os. 94d. the prices have been very firm, particularly for Weald of Kent and Sussex pockets, which are from 3s. to 4s. dearer, and for colour, in considerable demand. Bags of superfine quality are scarce, but low and inferior ones are in considerable quantities, and by no means in request.-Currency as under :Kent Pockets, from 80s. to 100s.; ditto Bags, 63s. to 90s.; Sussex Pockets, 74s. to 86s. per cwt.

Maidstone, Nov. 23.-In consequence of the Duty falling to much less than was expected in this neighbourhood, the Planters who have not sold, feel greater confidence, and are not disposed to sell without better prices, and as such, but little business has been transacted during this last week.

Worcester, Nov. 22.—On Saturday, 334 pockets were weighed; average prices, 84s. to 90s. Nearly all brought to market were sold. Various causes contribute to keep up prices; the stock of consumers being much exhausted, they necessarily embrace the present opportunity of laying in a supply of good qualities at low prices; there are also many small speculators; to which we may add, that the Planters hold a considerable number of Hops, which they will not. bring to market until prices improve.

Manchester, Nov. 25.-Notwithstanding the improvement in the Liverpool, and some other markets, in the commencement of the week, the trade here has continued in a state of languor. Articles of general consumption continue to accumulate; for which there is a very slender de mand. There was a good attendance on 'Change to-day, with a large show of samples, few of which were disposed of, even at the close of the market. Wheat, except for the finest qualities, is dull sale. The holders of Oats required 1d. to 2d. per 45 lbs., on last week's prices, but no business of moment was done, at any advance.
