New Wheat throughout that period experienced an advance of 1d. to 2d. and old 3d. per 70 lbs. Late prices were barely obtained for New Oats, although old ones improved in value 1d. to 14d. per 45 lbs. The stock of new Wheat at this day's market was materially increased by the arrivals of yesterday from Ireland, for which there being a good demand, nearly the whole was taken off, together with a fair portion of good old Wheat at the advance noted, of which fine old, foreign and Irish Oats proportionably participated. Prices remain unaltered for other articles of the trade, there having been but little business done in them this day. Imported into Liverpool from the 14th to the 20th September, 1824, inclusive:-Wheat, 9,699; Barley, 94; Oats, 5,063; and Malt, 30 quarters. Flour, 1,311 sacks, of 280 lbs.

Flour, Seconds, 30s. to 48s. per bag. Birmingham, Sept. 23. - Weather very rainy. Supplies short, and prices of every kind of Grain, Flour, &c. on the advance. Tares in good request, realizing 7s. 6d. to 8s. per bushel: but few at market. Ipswich, Sept. 25.-We had to-day a pretty good supply of Wheat and Barley, and sold at high prices, as follow: - Wheat (New), 52s. to 63s.; ditto (Old), 443. to 58s.; Barley (New), 32s. to 39s.; Peas (New), 31s. to 34s.; Beans, 35s. to 37s.; and Oats, 18s. to 24s. per quarter. Wisbech, Sept. 25.-Our market was scantily supplied with samples of all descriptions of Grain, which sold on equally as good terms as this day week. From the quantity of rain that has fallen in the last few days, it is feared the late sown Oats in the fen districts will be much injured. Malton, Sept. 25. - Very little alteration has taken place since last week. Prices as follow:-Wheat, 54s, to 60s, per quarter, five stone per bushel. Oats, 11 d. to 12d. per stone.

I will first state the circumstances under which the deceased was found, and then distinctly set forth the several grounds on which guilt was imputed to the prisoners. The deceased, JAMES MILLIN, was the younger brother of JoSEPH MILLIN, one of the keepers I was present at the trial of these men for murder, and am one of many whom their conviction of LORD CHURCHILL, in the Fo did not satisfy.

In charging the Jury, Mr. Justice Park, who presided, declared, both at the beginning and the close of his address, that "he would give no ultimate opinion on the case;" when he passed sentence, he said, that he "was not dissatisfied with the verdict." He left the prisoners for execution; and they died, having protested their innocence at the Sacramental Table! I, for my own part, am dissatisfied with the verdict; and, with your permission, will give my reasons for that dissatisfaction, and make a when it was ascertained that Bay-o few remarks on some extraordi- liss had absconded, James Millin nary circumstances connected with was employed as assistant keeper" the trial. in his room.

Bayliss had laid an information against the prisoner JAMES, for having venison in his possession, and James was sunrmoned to answer the charge. When the day appointed for the hearing came, Bayliss, the informer, did not appear, having left the forest without notice on the preceding night.
