THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 8, 1853. TILE COIN TRAUF:. - - The memento from the awe distant poets are likewise of subdued tone tl.is week. A letter from °elate, dated 17th Jan states that the operations during the preeeding fortnight had been on • comparatively retail scale, and that sellers had experienced considerable daffeulty in ob. tait:sig tamer terms. Soft wheat was quoted 265. to 265. N., und hard '2ls. to 22.. per qr., free ou board. The ezputts from Galata and Ibraila in the year 18.12 had amounted to 1,849,730 qrs., of which 484,976 qrs. had cos. aloud of wheat. The musk of the latter article on hand was computed at 72.000 qrs. The !Aro advice' from America inform us that in con segmance of the falling off in the British demand for bread stuff., prices had rather given way, and sellers had become more nations to realise. Freights bad also become easier; 24. 9d. per bri. for flour, and 81d. to 9,1. per bu.bel fur graic for Liverpool having been accepted. During the pre ceding fornight about 84,000 brls. of flow had changed hand.. (rr 65• BRITISH.

In every other respect matters remain in precisely the same po sition as they were previously. That the last crap of wheat was il: heient, and of wretchedly bad quality, in all the principal wheat growing countries, is net for a moment disputed, nor has it bean discove red that the loss of the potato bed le en exaggerated. The arrival of grain has not eta-echod the quantity expected ; every one eonver up! with the trade Lisle, that a considerable accumula tion Led taken place, which eight or ten days of north emit semi could be sure to bring to hand. It really ap pears, thele;Ore, to us, that there is nothing in the paitoni of affairs to warrant a continuous depremion ; but, in:mit g the uncertainty of the corn trade, and how little it is influenced by anything except that which makes itself immediately felt, we are not surprised at the effect which has been produced. Farmers do not, however, appear to have taken the alarm ; and the de liveries at the markets in the agricultural districts have been of a, moderate a character this week that the dull reports from the consonsing towns have had lees influence than might have been expected. The weather was dry areal frosty up to Wednesday ; since then some q..u.tity of ram has fallen in different parts of the country ; and as yet the laud is not sufficiently dry to allow rf much progress being made with field labour. The arrears of wi rk (owing to the impessibility of finishing wheat-sowing at the accustomed perio d ) must be heavy ; and the probability is that so soon as it shad! have become practicable to get on the land, farmers will have tor much to attend to, out of doors, to supply the markets very freely. This, in our opinion, affords soother reason for believing that the fall in prices will not be of long duration, more especially as the consumption of breadstuff. is es great as at any previous period. For the present the course of pokes a 111 depend entirely on supply and demand ; but when the season shall have &deemed somewhat further, other considerations will come into ope ration. Tnu; fur the appearance of the autumn-sown wheel isgenerally well spoken of; it has received littleor no chock. sod is therefore in some localities rather too luxuriant foe the tune of year. The breadth is lose than usual; but this may still be remedied if the spring should prove auspicious— the perfection t i which draining has sow been brought rem define spring-sown wheat a much Ism hazardous crop than it used to be formerly. By our &deice* from Scotland we learn that the discos raging tone of the reperts from the south, together with U. bawl aureate from abroad, had caused something likes panic in the wheat trade. At Edinburgh, on Wednesday,. It was eaccedingly di ffi cult to plume any quantity ; and though a decline of 2.. eel. to 3.. per qr. was submitted to, buyers were unwilling to take more than they required for immediate use. The fall on this side of the channel has naturally had its usual influence on the Irish market., and the latest accounts from thence report a dull trade for almost article, at declining prices. It is fortunate for importers that the ar rivals of wheat and Indian corn from the Black Sea and Mediterranean have been ni 'dente of late, as the Irish in quiry has all at once fallen off astonishiogly. Stocks do not however, appear to be particularly heavy there; and as the improved position of the pete has rendered them larger consumers of *beaten bread than they were formerly, we may expect a revival in the desuad.'

After the two spe cial sets had been passed an agreement was made on the 15th April, 1841, between the Reading, Guildford, and Riegate Company of the one part, and the London and South Western Railway Company of the other pert, by which the term end conditions on which the Reading, Guildfotd, and Riegate Railway Company should be en titled to use for their traffic the pert of the line of the London and South Wesiern Railway Company before re• (erred to, and the stations, warehouses, etc., belonging thereto were settled and adjusted. It was agreed that the Reading, Guildford, and Riegate Railway Company should have such right in perpetuity. On the 15th March, 1850, the Reading,o uildford, and Reigate Railway Company by an indenture of that date between them and the South Eastern Railway Company, reciting all the sets of perils meat relating to that railway and the agreement with the London and South Western Railway Company demised the South Esatern Railway Company, for a thou sand years the Reeding, Guildford, and Reigate Beltway, and all the undertaking of the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway Company, with the free use of the railway and stations, Ac., and all the powers and privileges which might be exercised and enjoyed by the Reading, Guildiord, and Reigate Railway Company, sad all the benefit and ad• vantage derived from the agreement of the 16th of April, 1847, subject to the obligation and liabilities imposed on the Reading, Guildford, and Riegate Railway Company. The South Eastern Railway Company contend that the London and South Western Railway Company are bound to fulfil with them the terms and conditions of the agreement of the 16th of April, 1847, though not made with them, but with the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway Company; and that, by the lease and the acts of parliament before re ferred to, the rights and privileges of the Reading, Guild ford, and Reigate Railway Company, as well as their liabi lities under that agreement, are transferred to and vested in the South Resta n Railway Company. Upon consideration of the clauses in the statutes referred to, and of the lease and agreement, we are of opinion that the ruling of the learned judge was right ; and that the plaintiffs in error are not en titled to a greater amount of set-off than 7291.; and that the defendants in error are entitled to all the privileges given to the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway Compan ander the agreement of the 16th of April, 1847. At the t ime of the making of that agreement, the Reading, Guildford, and Reigate Railway Company bed obtained their act of parliament, with a clause authorising them to lens their railway to the South Eastern Railway Company ; they had, however, no continuous line of - their own • but, for a certain distance, were empowered by the 17th section of the 9 & 10 Vic., cap. 173, to use that part of the lino which the London and South Western Railway Company were authorised to snake under that act, subject to such regulations and upon such terms and conditions as might be agreed on between the two companies.

ADMIRALTY COURT.—YarsaDAT. Dorian Da. Lelaumnew. THE AILAIBIAN.-NBIDLISSLIC INC/MA/IMO TXI COST C Sums. This was a suit brought by the owners of the Phesbe screw steam-ship, against another screw steam-ship called the Arabian, for salvage services rendered her on the 24th, 25th, and 2 8th of June last. According to the pleas of the salvors, they were oa their voyage from Constantinople to Liverpool when they fell in with the Arabian. She was then about 250 miles from Malta, and had met with an accident to her machinery, which bad disabled her engines and rendered it impossible to steer her. She was drifting before the wind, and there was a strong southerly current which, it was stated, would probably have carried ,her ashore on the Tunisian coast, which is exceedingly dan gerous. The salvors took her in tow, and with some diffi culty brought her head round. She was eventually taken into Valetta, at Malta. The value of the property saved was admitted to be 14,0001., and that of the ship which, it was contended, had been to some extent risked in render ing the services, wee 30.0001. The defence was that the ship bad been in no particular danger, end that theservices rendered were inconsiderable. _ . Dn. Addams and Twist appeared for this salvors, and Dn. Robinson and Hayford for the owners. The Trinity Masten said they considered that the Ara bian had not been placed in a state of any great peril, and that the Phoebe had incurred no peril at all, and very little risk, in performing the services in question. Dr. Lusbington, In giving judgment, dwelt in strong terms upon Ae vast accumulation of papers which had taken place in this case—the same facts, and those undis puted ones, having been proved in different affidavits over and over again. It was of the utmost importance that these salvage suits should be disposed of with reasonable economy and with great expedition ; and unless that wen done, he was convinced that the jur isdiction of this court would be of a very temporary character. Had the case been conducted in a satisfactory manner, he should have given 1,0001., but I under the circumstances he should only award 9501. and defend-- coats. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YESTEaDAT.

This was an indictment for an indecent assault, and for acts of bestiality, alleged to have been committed by the defendant in the surgery of the prosecutor, Mr. W. Hol land. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C. (with whom was Mr. Peters dor°, appeared for the prosecution. The facts of the case, as stated by the 1 d counsel, aid deposed to by the prosecutor, omitting the details, which are unfit for publi cation, were as follows: Upon the 13th of October last the def, 'idiot game into the prosecutor's shop, ostensibly to purchase a truss; he then went with Mr. Holland into the buck parlour, end there having exposed his person, com mitted the serious disgusting acts which formed the grounds of this prosecution. The prosecutor did not give him iuto custody, being, as he stated, too much troubled and excited. In about ten minutes the defendant left the place. Mr. Serjearit Wilkins appeared for the defendant, and contended that the evidence was not suflizient to warrant a verdict of guilty. The learned gootleman called two wit nesses who spoke of the defendant as a moral and religious man. Lord Campbell summed up. The jury retired to consider their verdict. In about an hour they came into court, and returned a verdict of Gwildy. Thy defendant was then called upon his bail to receive sentence. A.; he did not appear, Lord Campbell ordered his recognisanese to be tolerated. His lordship then proceeded to pass sentence. He said, the defendant was found guilty of a most detestable and dis gusting offence, and in the verdict of the jury he (Lord Campbell) entirely concurred. Indeed, bad there not been • verdict for the prosecution, the ends of justice would have been defeated. The sentence of the court was, that the defendant should be imprisoned in the House of Correction for the county of Middlesex for one year, and for that time should be kept to hard labour.

The Chief Justice to-day ag;iiicimi — pralned of the im proper manner in which the court was ventilated. He stated that a strong current of cold air came on his right band, traversed the bench and tho jury boa, and then passed into the body of the court. Sir Frederick Thesiger said the worst part of the busi ness was that they were continually being made the sub jects of experiments. The Chief Justice thought it was rather strange that this was the court which lir. Gurney referred to as being so perfectly ventilated as to justify his being appointed to ven tilate the House of Commons. BURCH ELL AND 0711111 V. SPOITIIIWOODE AND OINIRS.-TMN LAILNI, BILPABT, AND 13AIJAIIIINA RAIL WAY COMPANY.. The plaintiffs in this case were Messrs. Burch's% KU gour, and Parsons, the solicitors ; and the defendants were three of the directors of the Lame, Belfast, and Ballymena Railway Comrany. The action mime out of some proceedings in Chancery, and it was brought to re cover 7491 , being the charge for 1,498 notices to land owners and occupiers, along the line of the projected railway. Sir Fitsroy Kelly, Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., Mr. Willes, and another learned gentleman, appeared for the plaintiffs; and Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Serpent kiss, and Mr. Lomb, for the defendants. _ _ It appeared that the scheme for the railway was formed in the year 1845, and the ylliatiffs were appointed solici tors to t; Mr. Hoare, of Ballymena, being the solicitor in Ireland. On the 19th December, 1845, a meeting of diree tors was held, to consider a defect which was discovered in the plan, deposited under the act of parliament, the defect being, that in the lithographed plans about half a mile of pantry was omitted from the plan. The consequence was that it was resolved to abandon that portion of the line between Larne and Carrickfergus, sod it became necessary to prepare fresh notices. The present claim was resisted upon two grounds—first, it was said that the preparation of these notices' was the business of Mr. Hoare and not of the plaintiffs, and that under the circumstances even Mr. Hoare could not charge for them ; and secondly, that at the time these notices were prepared, Mr. Bluebell knew of the defect in the plans, and that it was probable the notices would be useless. According to the plaintiffs' ease Mr. Hoare was unused to business of the kind in question, and therefore the plaintiffs were obliged to assist hiss to a great intent. It was, in fact, said that if the plaintiffs had not prepared the notices they would not have been prepared at all to time; and beyond this it was stated, that the pro- Iparation of the notices was properly the business of the London solieiton. As to the other points, it appeared that , Mr. Harebell knew of the defects in the plans on the 12th December ; but upon the morniag'of the 13th December his horse threw him, and he was thus rendered unable to attend is business fur five days. In the meantime his clerks prepared the notices, in ignorance of the fact that there was a defect in the plans. Sir Fitzroy Holly said, in opening the ease, that the pecuniary question was by no means the most important one involved in the case, ler Mr. Harebell considered that an imputation had been cast upon him, by saying that be knew of a defect in the plans which ' would render the l notices melees, before he prepared them, and he wished to clear himself from this imputation. Sir Frederick Thesiger, in addressing the jury for the defendants, said that it was not intended, on the part of his clients, to make any imputation upon the character of Mr. Harebell. The Chief Justice also made a similar statement, and said, further, that he had personally known Mr. Bnrcbell for many years, and he gave testimony to the high charac ter borne by that gentleman. The jury retired for half an hoer, and then found a ver dict for the defendants. To this finding they added these words, " But, at the same time, we beg to state that we are unanimously of opinion that no reflection whatever can be cast upon the character or conduct of Mr. Harebell in this business." _ _ _ ~-...--. The case conunenced the first thing in the naming, and did not finish until put 8 o'clock at night. COURT OF EXC] SITTLIIIII AT NM ifIITII AT :YESTERDAY. -Bin= Ma. Liam Il~ena *D • PncILL loay. BATMAN AND AN0T7137 . 1176/Lt .- 7.-" ArLZOILD MINT OP ♦ LATIN?. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., and Mr. Webster appeared for the plaintiff; and the Attorney-General, Mr. Hindman!, and Yr. Grove, for the defendant. The action was brtught to recover damages for the al leged infringement of a patent for an application of ma chinery to a tire-plug, called a " stand-pipe." The defense was that there had been no infringement of the plaintiff's patent, inasmuch as the plaintiff's invention wee only a new combination of old materials, of which defendant had also availed himself for the construction of his instrument. Several witnesses were called on either aide; and the case had not concluded when the court rose. claration of a mond dividend in relation to the separate estate of one of the bankrupts—Charles Jobn Wragge. Mr. Howard, of fitourbridge, fur the mimes; and Mr. Edwin Wright was concerned in part of the proceedings for sone creditors. . _ At a former meeting there was a claim on the Stour. bridge Bank amounting to 18,0001, by /deans. Glyn and Co., the City bankers; this was disputed, and to-day a corn- promise was effected by which proof was admitted for 6,0001., the total mount proved at this meeting against the Stourbridge Bank being 5,8601. 90. 3d.; together with claims standing over for consideration amounting to 4561. 18s. 7d. As against the Bromsgrova Bank proofs were admitted for 6,8171. 17s. 104., and further claims amounting to 1,0381. Further proofs for a small sum were admitted against the separate satire of Idr. Wragge, and a second dividend of six shillings in the pound was declared upon that portion of the estate, making the payment en it, up to the present time, 1 Is. in the pound, with a probability of further liqui dation. THE POLICE COURTS. MANSION-HOUSE. Feances Gaze: and Ann Hall were brought before the Lord Mayor charged with hoeing attempted to steal a dia mond yin of the value of 31. IN., in the shop of Mr. Borchelt, of 69, Cheapside. The shoproan of the prosecutor said—The prisoners came into the shop between five and tie o'clock in the evening, and requested to be shown a tray of pins, as they wanted to purchas2 one or two as presents. They took up al pins, and flail contrived while taking up one of them and hand ing it to me to ascertain the price to draw away privately the pin in question. I waited to see whether she would return the p:u, which I distinctly saw between her fingers. They then tried to distract my attention from the tray, and having said that all the articles were too dear, were about to leave the shop, when I called to a policeman. The mo ment 1 made the movement Hall threw back the diamond pin she had concealed in her hand across the tray, and the policeman appearing, I gave them into custody. The shopman of Mesa,. Eddies and Kirby, of Cheapen's, hosiers and glovers, said—Oatzell came to my shop last Thursday, accompanied by a man, and asked to be shown some black ►ilk handkerchiefs. The man contrived to spread one of the houlkerchiefe over the pieces that lay upon the counter, and no doubt they slipped away one or more of them, for we missed one black piece with a golden border. They laid out Ss. 6d. in the purchase of a satin handker chief for the man, and soon after they left the shop we found that a robbery had been committed. The prisoners were known as shoplifters by the police, and (lateen bad lived with a notorious burglar and robber until he was transported for life. They were both committed. WORSHIP-STREET. _ _ The Rev. John Godfrey Anydey, one of the curates of Christchurch, St. George . ..in-the East, was brought before Mr. D'Eyneourt upon the charge of assaulting and obstruct ing two police constables of the H division In the execution of their duty. Police-constable Hudson, 11 78, said—About 8 o'clock ea Saturday night I was on duty near the Pavilion Theatre, in the Whitechapel-road, when I saw several girls and boys standing about with baskets of oranges, which coated as obstruction on the foot pavement. he soon as they saw se they all fell _back into the road, and two or three oranges having fallen out of the basket of one of the girls, I picked them up and threw them to her. I was then proceeding after them for the purpose of driving them away, when the defendant hastened alter me, and, se izing hold of my arm, struck MO a smart blow over the back with the thick end of his walking stick, at the same time demanding what busi ness I had to interfere with the poor girls, who were merely endeavouring to get an haunt living. The defendant ap peared greatly excited at the time, and, after telling him that be bad no business to interfere with me in the discharge of my duties, lat once took him into custody. On our way to the station-house the defendant conducted himself in a very intemperate manner, calling my brother officer a liar, and flourished his stick in such a menacing manner that I found it necessary to wrest it from him for self - protection. On ern i•-•-- - . -.tion by the defendant the constable - positively denied that be hid thrown one of the girls down, or that he abed any more violence on the occasion than was absolutely necessary to effect her removal. Payne, 166 H, folly corroborated the above evidence, and added that while he was assisting the other officer to clear the thoroughfare, the defendant suddenly seised him by the shoulder and dragged him round by main force, declaring at the time that he insisted upon taking his number. On being taken into custody, the defendant announced him self to be a clergyman, but he exhibited so much violence in his language and demeanour that witness was decidedly under the impression that he was not perfectly sober. Oeorge Teakle, anex-sergeant of polies, stated that whilst standing at the door of the Pavilion Theatre at the time in question, he heard an angry altercation between the ac cused and the first witness; the latter of whom was after wards proceeding towards one of the fruit women, when he was rapidly followed by the defendant, who caught him by the arm, with the evident intention of preventing him from interfering with her. The defendant had a stick in his hand at the time, but he saw no blows struck on either aide. Inspecter Kendall stated that he received the charge at the station-house, and while he was investigating the par ticulars, the defendant alleged, in extenuation of his con duct, that the constable bad upset the girl's oranges, but he did not then charge him witk having assaulted her. While he was taking down the charge, the defendant became so noisy and obstreperous that witness came to the conclusion that he had been drinking, but he considered it probable that his violent manner was merely the result of exaspera tion and excitement.

BRIADSTOFFS.-The unfavourable aspect of the English market, as indicated by the Arabia and Europa's advice, to Bth inst., has caused much disappointment here, and served to increase the former dulness of our trade in bread stuffs. During the past week there has been a good feeling manifest in flour, with some firmness, and a few operations on speculation and for export, but the closing turn of the market 'Mee the Europa's arrival favours the buyer, with out however any material transactions on which to base plum. A large portion of the usual shipping brands are MI by speculators, and are net freely offered, consequently crig yams may for some time be fluctuating and unsettled. suolgoo by railroad, although not excessive, have yet erussied the expectations of many, but a considerable per il= has been of the Ohio brands, that generally reach here sin New Orleans, in February and March, but have now arrived earlier by the opening of a new road to Buffalo. No material reduction has taken place in our stock, and it is now estimated at rather under 400,000 bbls. of all kinds. For the Southern descriptions there continues to be a brisk demand for Australia and California, and for the past ten days tho sales have been larger than usual, but con fined chiefly to the higher grades. Our wheat trade has been quite buoyant of late-stimulated by a decline in freights and a moderate stock of prime quality with light receipts; yesterday prices were unsettled, but the prospect ive want of dry samples for the English market gives holders firmness. Indian corn, suitable for export, hes been in request, and several shipments made of dry southern white and yellow, the round Jersey yellow is not yet dry enough for that purpose. Barley and oats are plenty and dull. Rye is scarce, and held in few hands, at former rates, with moderate demand. The export clearances from this port for the fortnight ending on the 21st inst. consisted of-To Liverpool : 20,878 bbls. flour, 44,933 bushel' wheat, 4,932 bushels corn. To London : 8,295 bbls. flour, 8,547 bushels wheat. To Bristol: 1,716 bbl'. flour. To Falmouth : 10,000 bushels wheat. To Gloucester: 46,048 bushels wheat.

On being willed upon for his defence, the reverend gen tleman earnestly assured the magistrate that the facts of the case as stated by the witnesses, had been grossly exaggerated, and that a most unwarrantable aggression and indignity had been practised towards him. At the hour in question he was passing down the Whitschapel-road, when be observed the ceestaale driving several poor orange girls before him with a degree of unjustifiable and unneceuary harshness, and immediately upon his overtaking one of them he struck her a violent blow on the head, the force of which instantly upset her basket and scattered her fruit about the pavement. After remonstrating with him upon his unfeel ing conduct he advanced towards him for the purpose of taking his number, when he was instantly seised by the officer, who called another one to his assistance, and be was forcibly taken off to the station-hones. He denied most emphatically having assaulted either of the officers, and with regard to the unworthy insinuation against his ebriety he trusted that it was wholly unnecessuy for him to repel such a disgraceful imputation. Catherine M'Csrthy, the trait girl above referred to, was then (salted, and stated that while she was vending her oranges one of the policemen ran up to her and struck her a blow on the side of the head, which caused the fruit to roll out of her basket. The policeman then picked up her oranges and threw them out into the road, and while he was doing so the defendant kindly interfered for her, when two of the constables laid hold of him and took him away by form. In answer to questions from the magistrate, the witness denied that the gentleman had assaulted either of the officers, but admitted that she herself did not fall down front the effects of the blow she received. _ _ _ William @ant, a Custom-house officer, stated that he was about to enter the theatre, when he saw the policeman rush towards the last witness, and strike her two heavy blows in rapid succession on the side of the head, which caused her to fall forward upon her knees. Witness expressed his in dignation at such brutality, and the defendant, who hap pened to be looking on, intimated that he would take the officer's number; but on approaching him for that purpose, he was immediately secured, and conveyed to the station house. Mr. D'Eyncourt said, that after attentively considering the evidence, he could conic to ao other conclusion than that the charge had been completely established. lie saw no reason whatever to disbelieve the evidence of the officers, who corroborated each other in every particular ; whereas the two witnesses, who had been called for the defence, so materially differs° in their testimony, that it was perfectly manifest that one or both of them had committed delibe rate perjury. lie should therefore convict the defendant of the assault,. and impose upon him a penalty of 205., or fi ve days' imprisonment. The defendant, who appeared greatly discomposed, im mediately paid the fine, with an intimation that he con sidered he had not been justly treated, and that he should carry the matter elsewhere. The first half of a M. note, No. 77,862, was received from X. for the poor-box. MARYLEBONE. . . John /Perm!, a labourer, was charged with having com mitted a murderous assault upon Bridget, his wife. On the previous night, as Sergeant Delany, 16 I), was passing along Oren-street, Portman.market, he was met by a female, who told him that a man had nearly murdered his wife at No. 16 in the street alluded to. Witness hastened thither, and upon the flrst•floor landing he saw the poor woman resting upon the shoulder of her sou. Blood was flowing from her bead, and she seemed quite insensible. Witneis lifted her up, and, on questioning her a short time afterwards as to who bad injured her, she replied in a faint tone of voice that it was her husband. I went into the pri soner's room, where I saw him sitting by the fire. I asked him how he accounted ter the assault made by him upon his wife, when he made answer that some words ensued between them, and that he struck her with a small gridiron which be happened to have in his hand. I took the woman to St. Mary's Hospital in a cab, the prisoner accompanying us ;" and, after I had left the woman there to receive proper medical assistance, I conveyed the prisoner to the station house, the doctor having certified that he could not pro nounce the wife to be out of danger. I subsequently went to the house, and there learnt from one of the prisoner's sons that his mother was not struck with the small gridiron spoken of, but with a heavy iron implement used by plas terers, and called a " server." The poor injured woman was not in a fit condition to come forward ; and the prisoner, who denied hating struck his wife with the server, was remanded. MARKETS. COTTON.—Livagrooc, Fins. 7.—The sales to-day aro estimated at 6,000 bales, and comprise about 5,000 Ame rican (500 on speculation and 500 for export), 120 Pernam and Msranham, 61d. to 61.1.: 350 Bahia, 6ld. to 61d. ; 100 ,Egyptisn, 711; 500 Surat, 4d. to 41d. The market closes firmly, but without spirit, and, compared with Fri ' day's rates, prices of all kinds are fully maintained. CATTLE.—LLIOIITON BUZZARD GaCAT STOUR FAIR, Feb. s.—The supply of leen stock was unusually scarce, and the continued demand for them caused a brisk trade ; but, as a whole, the qualit; of the various animals was indifferent, yet buyers were not backward in giving the full prices so recently obtained at previous fairs, but towards the latter part of the day the best descriptions of store Beasts rote in value fully 10s. per head, the supply not being half suffi cient for the demand. Cows of all sorts for dairy pur poses maintained the improved prices made at Beading and ti.)leshury fairs last week. Barren Cows were much sought alter, prices for all sorts ruling in favour of sellers. Keeping Sheep have risen beyond all expectation. Wethers made 445. to 50s. each ; hoggets, 345. to 401. ; ditto maiden Ewes, 30s. to 365.; and ell were sold before midday. Store Pigs in good demand, et late prices. It was by far the largest fair for Horses held here for some years, and a very large amount of business was transacted at high and satisfactory prices, many of the best five year old cart Hines making 70 guineas each. Nunwicit, Feb. b.—Our market exhibited a gond show of Scots, short-horns, and Irish. Although there were a fair number of buyers, still we had a dull sale ; and many wait ing in expectation of fresh droves from Scotland, c►used • (all of 6d. per stone, 4s. being the extreme figure for the best Scuts, but 3s. 6d. per stone the more general price ; short-horns and Irish, 21. 6d. to 31. 6d. per stone of 141bs. when fat. At t►e close nearly half remained unsold. We may state there is no certainty in the trade. Fat Beasts, • large number; the best Sets, Gs. 9d.; short-horns, Gs. to 6s. Gd. per stone, and not half sold. Useful Beef was quite neglected, the heavy expenses to Smithfield causing so great a risk. The pens well filled.

IVIIS, Feb. 7.—Good fat wether Sheep obtained a ready sale, at ss. per stone vt 8113 s. ; inferior and ewe Mutton, 4s. 4d. to 4s. Bd. Good Sheep were scarce. Lean stock in good demand, but Sheep generally have not done well, and it was the general opinion here that, as the spring advances, Mutton will be scarce and much dearer, snd owing to the wet weather it is feared there will be a great mortality among the young Lambs. Store Piga arc much d . COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, .7,tif. 26. There continues an active demand for money, in all de partments of trade. The rates fur prime mercantile paper and loans upon first class securities, are 6 per cent. Capital is, however, quite abundant, and discount, upon the gene ral run of paper are made at 7 percent., although on some the rates are 9 per cent.

Corrox.—Our last report of the market was written for the Pacific of the 22nd inst. On the 22nd, the Europa's ad vices of the 7th from Liverpool were received per telegraph from Halifax after the business of the day was transacted, which amounted to 800 bales at very full rates. On Mon day, 24th, the mail came to hand, and the advice, being very tame, the market here closed quietly, with light transactions, 200 bales only being reported. To-day the sales are reported at 600, prices easier in the lower grades, but very full for strict middling, and upwards; qualities suitable for the home trade. Spinners find much difficulty in obtaining here or south the better qualities—such as were plentiful et the opening of the season, and these must therefore continue to command relatively high prices. The late advance has placed " low middling" and under, such grades es are usually ex ported, far above dart shippers limits, but the stock being very light, importers prefer holding to selling at any con cession of consequence. Our latest despatches are from New Orleans of the 22nd. Mel ding, 91c., active; freight, Id., dull. Mobile, 22nd—middling, 9c., active. Charles. ton, 211 h—middling, 1010.
