Mr. Llnklater, en behalf of the petitioning creditors, at Bristol, supported the application for the removal of the patiitin—ciiii di on the ground that the bankrupt's prin cipal place of business having been at Bristol, where he bad carried on business for many years, and had a residence, and tonsiderahle proxrty, the description in the London petition was bad, and was calculated to mislead the erc stir on. Mr. Bagley, in support of the London pit:atm, iteted that of 274,0001. or Ted,llool. of debts owing to the bank- Twit, upwards of 200,000 f. was due and payable in London. Sir. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, urged the expediency, as regarried the advantage of the creditors, of the petition being worked in London. His Honour WAS at first disposed to reserve his judgment, but after looking at the case. of " Ex parte Magee " (2 Dea con, .5.15), said that the public inconvenience resulting from such an orrlm- as was sought would be enormous ; he must therefore retwe to make it. No ground had ben shown for annulling the petition ; and looking at the complicated nature of the tran,.letions to be settled with the railway companies, it was clearly for tl:e convenience of the credi tors that the proceedings should be worked in London.

Thomas Balt was indicted fur having. at Chorley, fired a Pistol loaded with powder and ball at It:chard Timid, with Intent to murder, &c. It appeared that on the lit of March the prisoner, being at a public•house at Chorley, loaded a pistol with powdi r and shot, and hating said that it was sufficient to shoot any one went into Chorley-wood, near which there is a colliery at which Richard Tootal and another man with whom he had some quarrel worked. The prosecutor (Tootal) stated that on the vcuine in question he heard a rabbit •. skeane," sod instantly a shot was fired only fifteen yards from him, the wadding of which struck another man, and he hiard the noise of shot fall near him.

This wee an action brought by the plainti ff to recover 158/. t 0.1., the amount of a dishonoured bill. It appeared that the plaintiff —a merchant, in Liverpool —did business with the defendants, who are bankers in London, and who discounted a bill for the amount in ques. tion, which they had received from the plaintiff, and which was mturnid dishonoured. It also appeared that the de fendants, upon the return of the bill, placed it to the debitof the plaintiff's account, and did not give him proper notice of the dishonour. Verdict for the plaintiff.

Edwin Henry rowel, charge* with having been acces sary after the feet to the forgeries alleged to have been com mitted by Joseph Farrell upon the Bank of England, and with basing harboured, aided, and assisted the principal in escaping from jo.tiee, was brought before the Lord Mayor for further examination. lie. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Lewis for the defence. The investigation, from whip Is we select the mast essential portions, occupied a cmsideratdo time. Mrs. Ans. Gordon, who keeps the Red Lion Inn, at Kea ton, in Kent, at which the pnsoner aad a person suppolied to be Joseph Farrell, put up with the bore aed gig which were hired at Ellis's stables, said : —The prisoner nut a gentleman of lower stature whe accompanied him, called at my brew on the 22nd of Feb., and returned on the 23rd, slept there that night, and went away next morning. The companion of the prisoner on depositing the portmanteau which was left with me, said that I was to take particular care of it, and not to give it to se y other person. He said that his name we Stevens. I know Mr. Harris, the plumber. Ha had beei - in the room with them. I took charge of the pertmanteau and locked it in the bed-room. in which the two gentlemen slept, and in which it remeined till the officers came, to wham I delivered it. The prisoner asked me if I thought they could get a solicitor at Croydon. The prisoner observed in the noun of conversalon;teat it was very cold, and I said he was like moat London gentle men—they were cold when they came into the country. The other said they were not Londoners. W. Edmonds (City detective) gave evidence to the fact that he was at Ellis's stables on the 24th of February for the purposes of justice, when Buckley, tie link man, who gave testimony on the former exazunation, arrived at a quarter to 10 • cluck at night with the horse and gig. Joseph Doggie, petunia at the Globe Inn In Baker-street, Portman-square, said—l remember that on the 22nd of February a horse and gig mom to my master's hones. I saw the person who came in the trig. He had a cap on, and was a short gentleman. Ile wanted me to go to Mr. Powell's. I had seen him in the same house with the pri soner two or three times. He came at half-past 7 o'clock, and told me to go to Mr. Powell and say that he wished to speak to him directly, and I did so. I knew where Mr. l'owcll lived. I left the menage with the servant. Shortly afterwards Mr. Powell came, and I saw them both go down the yart toe ether towards the gig. I saw the same gig this =ruing at Ellis's, and picked it out from a lot in the pre sence of Holden, the ostler. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—The horse was standing in the New.road, there being no convenience for gigs Ft mod loz at our place. It wee about 8 o'clock when I saw them go down the yard. I did net see them go away. Dr. Davidson (the gentleman whose name was forged) said the signatures to the two dividend warrants pro duced, Nu. 141 and 142, are not mine, nor are they the signatures of any person authorised or empowered by me to sign them. Hr. J.. 1. Pater, one of the senior clerks in the dividend office of the Bank of England, said the course of business is this. On application for • dividend warrent the ap plicant is asked his name, and the amount of the stick. The clerk then turns to the book to see if it agrees with the claim. He then turns the book to the applicant for his signature, after which he takes from the drawer belew him the dividend warrant corresponding with the number in the dividend-book. If he does not personally know the patty, it is his duty to refer to tile handwriting on the preceding dividend; and, if he finds the hand writing there corresponds with the dividend applied for, he gives the dividencewarrent to the applicant, who signs it, and the clerk witnesses the warrant. It is the practice for two clerks to go through the unpaid warrants, and examine them with the dividend book. If the dividend book is not aimed, we make a memorandum ow • sheet of paper, called the "query sheet," for further inquiry. Oa the list of last July, in consequence of • communication, a comparison was made between the dividend warrants which were remaining in the drawers of the Reduced Stock and the dividend book, with reference to Dr. Devidson's 1 Hot and 112nd dividend warrants, and it was discevered that the books for the two warrants bad not been signed, hut that the warrants were gore. I went to the check office, and found them two dividend warrants. They ap peared to be stet Need by J. tame, who was a supernu merary belonging to the Consols office. In November I again examined thaw dividends, and they were then uusigued by the supposed applicant. On or about the 10th October I entered the 143 re dividend payable for that month in the dividend book, and in doing so I made a memorandum respecting tee two preceding entries not having been signed, and requesting that they might be signed. I be lieved at that time that it was a mere omission. Mr. 11. 8. l'alratr, eoperintendent of the dividend office of the beak, laid-1 remember that my attenteen was called t: the eeieentry of signatures to the I list and 112.4.1 dive deieds in the book, and to the Let that the dividend warrants were 40110. I knew Joseph Fan', one of th. clerks in ;be bank, and I spoke to him about it, under the impression that it was the effect of neglect, and I ee• r oved him for his extreme carelessness in haying witness ed the warrants without the signature in the books. I ascertained that the twe had been pa.d by him. He coloured up, 115-1 p •sred to be greatly canfwe t, ena sea he was very sorry. I told bun t:iet he must •ei a avow. to Wain the a:gnature of Dr. Davidson. He conticued to discharg e his duties mil the 23rd of February, but I heve n it seeninto since. Crum-examined by Mr. Lewis—Farrall had been absent a great deal between Jute and o:tcd‘es. I sin not aware that I spoke to Mtn afterieerde up the subset. Not the slightest suspicion was entertained of him. lam not aware that the beak authorities wrote to Dr. Davidson on the sub ject. I have been tlerty.fire years in the bank, and I never heard of any o ff ence of the kind described during that time. Oa his re examination the witness said it was an express rule to prevent any clerk to take out any work, and aiiy clerk who did so would incur great censure. Mr. Francis Howie& (elerit in the dividend office of the Bank) Mid—Egrall was supernumerary eisiel hank. In June last he was engaged is what we call shut ting work in the Consols office. He brought that work to Jo to the desk close adjoining to a drawer where 'he Re duced dividend warrants were kept, and where Dr. Da vidson's wurauts could be, supposing they were not already received. lle had opportunity of access to that drawer, which was nit locked. His position would have enabled him to take any of these warrants, but if I had seen him do so I should hive thought nothing of it. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—The clerks are not per mitted to take murk out of the Bank. Ido not know that I have seen it. I heard many years ago that a clerk had done so, but I know they are not permitted to do so. Mr. S. Herrison, jun. (a clerk in the 11 look at the dividend warraiits, 141, 112, and 143. I know Far rell. I have seen him write often. He has occasionally corked with me. The subscription to these warrant, is certified by him. I hue no hesitation in ailing that I be lieve the signatures are his handwriting. Mr. T. Wheeler (clerk in the Stock Dividend office of the Hank), said, if there be dividend warrants in amen more than the two lmt, it is the practice to remove them to that part of the office in which I sit. On the 24th of Janu ary I had under my care the dividend warrants 134 to 140 of Dr. Davidson's stack, and the books applicable to those warrants. The 141 th dividend warrant would not be with me. It is the practice to enter red ink figure., if the for mer dividend warrant has not heen received. On the' 4th of January, F.,rrsii was in the Bank, and it was his duty to give out the current dividend warrants. On that day, at three o'clock in the afternoon, he said to me that there was a number of old dividend warrants due, but the gentleman would tome again another day, as we were so near the time of closing. I believe he mentioned the name of Davidson. I think he sail the gentle. man was a reopen either in the army or the navy, who had been abroad. I did not see the party eluded to. I was aware then that Farrell had given out the 141st and 142nd dividend warrants of June, and that they had not been signed fur. On the 25th of Ja s yperson came to me and handed Dr. Davidson's 7u a r 43rd dividend warrant, with figures on the back denoting that there were back warrants to be received. This 113 rd warrant is witnessed by Farrell. Acting upon that I gave to the person representing Dr. Davidson these seven divi dend warrants, 134 to 140. Ido not recollect the person. The endorsement is my authority for paying the back war rants. Mr. Clarkson said ho bad to request that the Lord Mayor would remand the prisoner for another week upon the evi dence disclosed, which preyed beyond all doubt the close connexion between the prisoner and the party accused as the principal. The prisoner waa then remanded for another week. WORSHIP-STREET. Joseph Hyland,io year. of a g e, was charged with at tempting to stah Thomas Hardy, broker, of I:nion-street, Bishopsgate, and Robert Deal, rag-dealer, of 6, Binh-lane, City. Its prisoner rented apartments in • house of Mr. Beal's, at 51, Gun-street, Old Artillery-ground, but it being found requisite to distrain upon his chattels for rent, Mr. Hardy was instructed to do so. On Wednesday the dis tress will, made, and shortly after the broker was sent for en the representation that his man was in danger of hie life. On entering the room prisoner rushed to a cupboard, and, seising a peculiarly sharp-pointed table-knife, was on the point of plunging it into Mr. Hardy's back, when that per son caught him by the throat and with difficulty wrested the weapon from him. Prisoner then struck him about the held sad face, which was covered with blood from the blows inflicted. At seven o cock m the evening, Mr. Beal, with a con stable in waiting, went into the mom, and then the prisoner with frightful oaths attempted to possess himself of the poker, but was prevented; on which he stealthily took the table knife from where it had been placed, and made a stab at Mr. Beal's right breast, which was averted by that gen tleman parrying it, taking effect on the shoulder, cutting the coat , which was produced in court. The knife was afterwards found on tie floor. 28 II deposed to the ferocious violence of the prisoner, who also resisted hien. 1 be prisoner, who is a sawyer, denied haeiog touched the knife. D'Eracoort committed him for trial. SOUTHWARK. William Walker, a farmer, of Goadhunt, in Kent, peered for re•esamination, charged with uttering a forged IW. note, purporting to be of the Bank of England, to Tho mas Deering, a hatcher, residing in Kennington-lane. On the preceding day at a late hour the accused was given into custody by the complainant, and brought before Mr. Combe on the above charge. It was then stated that in the month of February last a 101. note, which afterwards proved to be a forgery, was passed at complainant's shop in the purchase of seat by a man answering the deacrip• tion of the semssoCeMl that ho (complainant) meeting with him that day bad Own Man into custody. In reply to Mr. be, the complainant said that he auld not identify the nun, as it was his wife in his absence from the shop that gave change and rewired the forged note. Mr. Combo said that it would be neceuary to have the complainant's wife In attendance, and for that purpose he should remand the accused, but that under the circum- stances he should accept of bail for his appearance on the following (this) day, himself in 801., and two sureties of 401. Several gentlemen, the friends of the accused, stood for ward and offered themselves as his bail to any amount, so convinced wire they that he was wholly innocent of the se rious charge preferred against him. The accused said that his pocket-book, with bank notes amounting to between 401. and 601., together with his banker's book, had been taken from him when he was given into custody. Mr. Combe said the policeman had only performed his duty on the occasion, sad that the pocket-book and its con tents, with whatever other property was taken from him at the time of his apprehension, would be restored to him, of Course, in the event of his discharge. The necessary bail having been put in, the accused then l:ft the court. _ _ _ Yesterday the accused, who was accompanied by several of his friends, attended to meet the charge, which was in vestigated by Mr. A'Beckett. Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Deering was then sworn. Mr. A'Beckett desired the witune to look round and see whether she could identify the man whom she alleged she had taken the note from. Having complied with the magistrate's suggestion, the witness admitted that she could not, even were he preeent, (or that, being very bu'y at the time. the man came into the shop, other customers being there, she did not take that particular notice of him to be enabled now to identify him. The accused's solicitor said that he had no questions to put to the witness, after what she ►ed just admitted. His client, a respectable man, was the day before about to sit down to his dinner at the Catherine Wheel Inn, in the Borough, after transocting his business, when the com plainant walked into the room, and, without further cere mony, accosted him thus: " I charge you as the man who, in the mouth of February last, passed a forged 101. note at my shop to my wife, and I shall give you into custody." He did give hint;into custody there and then, and although as free from the imputation of knowingly uttering a forged note as any innocent man could be. A'Beckett said that, after hearing the only evidence adduced in support of the charge, he should discharge the accused, who was ordered to have his property restored to him. The accused, with Is'a friends, then quitted the court. limey Wilhams, a powerful looking young fellow, was charged with commitung an aggravate d assault on Char lotte Salmon. The complainant, whoaa right eye was much swollen, said. on the previous night, • little before twelve o'clock, she was with • female friend in Stamford•street. The latter was a little in advance of her, and witness called out to her to stop, and she not hearing her, she took up a stone and rolled after her. The prisoner, who was passing at the time, immediately pounced upon her, and struck her a severe blow on the right eye. Fortunately a constable came up at the time, and secured him as he was in the act of striking her again. The other female corroborated the testimony of the com plainant. The prisoner said he had been to Greenwich Fair with some friends, and was passing along Stamford.street, whin the complainant threw a stone and hit him. lie certatuly did go up to her in a passion and strike her. The magistrate fired him 205., or 7 days at Wandworth. SINGULAR FVNEILtL OF A &Ave.—At a funeral of au aged and faithful slave, which recently , took place at Lynchburt, Virginia, five hundred coloured persons at tended. Neatly all of those were slaves who had been re leased from labour by their =viten in order that they might pay the last tribute of respect to fidelity, honesty, and duty well discharged. In the procession there were she some dozen private carriages of the citizens, sent by their owners as a token of their respect to fidelity, however humble may have been the occupation in which it was exhibited.—New York Courie►. - DEATLI ACCELERATED liV IMPROPER FOOD.— Yesterday en inquest was held by Mr. %V. Ilsker, at the Steam Packet Tavern, High-street, Poplar, respecting the death of Sophia Hambridg, aged 40 years. The deceased was the wife of a mariner now at sea. The deceased had an infant two months old, which died on Saturday lam very suddenly in a fit. The mother had hem very ill sl:sce her confinement, and was under medical care. On Friday last the de ce ased purchased some sausages:at a pork-butchees, some of which she cocked and ate, and subsequently she be ,!aine seriously ill, a surgeon was seat for awl prescribed for the deceased, hut she gradually grew RJ/Se and died on the morning of T•iesday last.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 1, 1853. SPORTING. at a heavy lose to the importers. It is supposed that more than half of the Ito .tilig cargoes from the Mediterranean, the Dausibe, the Black Sea, and the See of Axoff, have arrived at Cork or Falmouth, except such as have been sliieptd rather recently, of which the quantity is esti:ward to be by no means large. Though the demand for Ireland lius been considerably less thee at this tiaae last year, yet but few cargoes now remain unsold on the coast; and we are not aware of any quarter from which there is encou ragement to ship to this country without an advance upon our present quotations. If we have fine and genial weather, the probability of higher prices dee' not scent strop; at present; and we believe oar millers are disposed to keep light in stock, while some quantity of the recent imports have not yet gone into the hateda of consumers. On the ether hand, we believe our farmers generally will withhold the wheat that remains in their hands until near ha-vest, rather than submit to much, if any, reduction upon its presto. Deespectv before us appear to justify . . suck a course, as wheat still bears a law cum pared pared with must other apiculture' event of a productive crop next summer, there can now be but li:tle;:doubt that the breadth of land sown will be so much less than usual, that the foreign imports between the harvests of ISO and 1834 must be large. Should there be any unfavourable appearance of the wheat on the ground as spring advances, or a demand from France, which latter seems much less probable than some time back, there is little doubt that a considerable improvement upon our pre sent currency for English wheat would be realised erelong. Our im?ortos into Gloucester have been large this month, but our stocks arc little if at all increased, though a greater prooocion than usual of the last fleet which arrived on the coast has come to the Bristol Channel ports. The growing wheats in this part of the country are more promising than atter such a wet winter could have been expected, but there arc some complaints of their appearance in France. Our eresent prices are, English, old red, Os. to 6i. 6d. ; new, of 41. to 6s. 4d. ; white, Gs. Gel. to 71. ; new, ss. 8.1. to 6.. 84. ; Polish Odessa, ss. 6d. to 55. 9d. ; white American, 6a. 61. to Gs. 9d. per 621b5., at Birmingham ; Marianople, ' ss. 94. to 61. ; °hie's; ss. 4d. to ss. 7d. ; hard Bus siar, se. to ss. 3d. per GOibs., at Gloucester. A few cargoes of grinding barley have arrived from France, mostly out of condition, and have caused the price to give way fully Is. per quarter ; the demand being little more than a retail one. Fine quclities nearly maintain their value, but are a slow sale ; and as we are likely to have large arrivals, as the Spring advances prices may further decline. French is selling at 2.35. to 275. per 4001b5., at Gloucester. The supplies of oats, chiefly from teeter's', have materially exceeded the demand, there is consequently a considerable addition to the stock at Glou cester, and the quantity of English offering has continued greater than at any time since harvest. Both English and Irish are fully Is. per quarter lower. Odly one cargo of Dutch has arrived, and this description is little if any cheaper. Irish White are selling at 175.64. to 18s. 6d. fur light, and 19d. to 21s. for heavy; black, 18s. to 18: , . Gd. ; grey, 18s. 6d. to 19e. 3d. ; Dutch, 225. to 235. per 3121b5., at Gloucester. We continue without fresh supplies of foreign beans, but a few French and Egyptian are expected at Glou cester; and all descriptions are quite as dear. The condi tion of the New English has impsoved, and they have met a free sale at our quotations: whilst old are at length be coming more scarce. The prices in Egypt have declined, hut are still far too high to leave • margin for importing, and the same remark applies to France. English new are selling at 4s. 6d. to 4s. 93. ; old fm. 21. to ss. 4d. per 1961b5., at Birmingham. The remainder of the peas at Gloucester have been cleared off, at 14s. 6d. per 1961b5. ; and we are not aware of any more being on the way. English are offering more freely, and barely maintain their value. There is still no Indian corn in first hands, but • cargo or two are reported to be near at hand. A cargo of millet of fine quality has most of it found buyers at 10s. 6d. to Ils. per 196115. Potatoes scarce, and same weight sells for neatly as much as wheat.-From Messrs. J. and C.

Barley only taken in re tail. No reduction was submitted to on oats. Beans and peas maintained their value. During the present week, few transactions are reported in wheat ; but goad new is held for quite as much money. Barley difficult to dispose of. No alteration in oats. We have a fair sale for both beans and peas. At this day's market there was again a abort supple of new English wheat, which realised quite as much money, but all other kinds were rather cheaper. Very little doing in barley, and the prices are nominally the same as this day se'nnight. Oats held for previous rates. Beans and ,peas both taken off at last week's currency. BRISTOL, MARCH 31.-The market to-day has been but moderately supplied with English, but most of the samples were in better condition than a few weeks since were gene rally observable. There we a tolerable inquiry, and el. though no quotable improvement in values was effected, the tone of the market was decidedly more firm. Then remarks will also apply to foreign wheats, the par cels of which offering were firmly held. There was a fair consumptive demand for flour, and sales were somewhat freely effected at our quotations. The prices were as fol lows:-English new wheat, 38s. to 465. per Imperial quarter ; ditto, old wheat, -a. to -a. per ditto; foreign, white, 50s. to 545. per 48011 n. ; foreign, red, extra tine qualities, 475. to 60s. per ditto; ditto, ine qualities, 435. to 4 6.. per do. ; do., ordinary qualities, 41s. to 431. per ditto; foreign, hard, -a. to -a. per ditto English seconds flour, 355. to 364.0 d. per sack, United States, &e., sweet, 255.

The official return of the corn inspector gives the following averages :-Wheat, 455. 2d. ; oats, 19s. 3d.; bar ley, 325. 104.; beans, 395. Bd. Devtzte, March 31.-We had a small supply of Wheat to-day, which met a very good sale at :fully last week's prices, the beet descriptions being the turn in favour of the seller; a good clearance was early made. Barley was in good supply ; the trade was brisk, and an advance of Is. per qr. was obtained on the best temples ; 395. per qr. was the top price. In Oats, Beans, end Peas the trade was good; for seed somewhat higher prices were given, and for feeding purposes prices were fully sustained. Wheat, while, per sr., 584. ; best red, 535. to 561.; middling, 41s. to 53a ; inferior, 335. to 41s. Barley, 28s. to 395. Oats, 18s. to 265. Beans, 345. to 425. Peas, 345. to 40s.

NEWARK, March 30.-The supplies of samples of both Wheat and Barley at market to-day were moderate, with a corresponding amount of business. Wheat, though not very active, met with a good sale, at an advance of Is. per qr. on our est report. For Barley we cannot quote an improved value, but for this, as well as other grain, the prices of lest week were firmly maintained. Oats and other spring corn were seasonably in demand, end underwent no variation from the late rates. Average: Wheat, white, from 52.. to 54i. red, 475. to 495. ; grinding Barley, 28s. to 30s. ; meltiog'ditto, 325. to 355.; Oats, 28s. to 30a. ; Beaus, old, 425. per qr. Newaunr, March 31.-The supply of Wheat this day WWI not large ; the sellers attempted an advance but could not succeed, and late prices could only be supported. Bar ley in good supply, and the demand slow ; all except the finest qualities receded ls. per qr, Oats, Beans, and Peas fully as dear. Wheat, 41s. per qr. Barley, 31s. 9d. Oats, 19s. 2d.

Bar ley, 28s. to 355. Beans, 384. to 42a. Peas, 335. to 445. Oats, 20s. to 26,. per qr. WATZRFORD, March 30.—The deliveries of farmers' grain since Saturday have been very trifling, and from abroad the supplies are limited to a couple of cargoes of Indian Corn. Scarcely any change has taken place in prices, but every article in the trade is held with iucreased firmness. kIDINBUZGII. March 30.—There was rather a small sup ply of grain in the market to-day. Sales were heavy for all sorts, and last week's prices hardly maintained, with the exception of Barley. Wheat, 425. to 565. Barley, 28s. 6d. to 40s. Oats, 111 e. to 26e. Beans, 31s. to 36e. CATTLE.-141uutg Foaviszownv MAREST, March 29.—There was, u usual, a large show of stock, but the prices were not so good,—indeed buyers fought shy at the prices asked. There was • fair quantity of business done. There were 416 Sheep and 52 Beasts penned. NIWAUK, March 30.—A large market to-day, and prices rather lower. There were 174 Beasts, 322 Sheep, and 121 Pigs penned. SALFORD, March 30 —We continue well supplied with stock, and of fair quality. The demand is on the increase. Dealers found ready sale for everything of fair and good quality, both Beef and Mu.tsn. Prime Beef fetched fully 641. per lb.; Mutton, 6d. to 7d. But little unsold. _ _ WAKEFIELD, March 30.—The number of Beasts at our market this day was unusually large, there being no less than 1,100 of very prime quality. The show of Sheep was rather thin, consequently they were very dear, the number not exceeding 3,800. The attendance of buyers very numerous. Prices ruled as follows : Beef, 6s. Gd. to Ts. 3d. per stone ; Mutton, 84. to 84d. per lb.; shorn ditto, 64d. to 74. The show of lean stock and Pigs was very good, and met with ready sale. EDINBURGH. March 30.—The number of Cattle in the market this morning was 71.5. or 48 more than on this day week. Sales dull, end prices down from 3d. to Gd. per Dutch stone. Extreme top price, 9a. ; current top, Bs. Gd. ; current price, Bs. for the best sorts of Beasts; middling and inferior, from 6s. 64 to 7s. per Dutch stone.

All other sorts were unchanged. The sales to-day amounted to 22,000 bales, and comprise 18,000 American (3,000 for export and 8,0 00 on specula tion) • 600 rectum and Maranhao', at 60. to 7d.; 700 Bala, at 6d. to 611 ' • 800 Egyptian, at Gia. to 81d.

MattcHISTBR, MARCH 31.—There has been an improved demand for cloth, aad prices are steadier. In some cases, lid. per piece advance has been secured. In yarn there has also been snare business, and shippers have tested prices ratheractively. The Germans act with a caution evincing some want of confidence, but nevertheless have given an advance of id. per lb. in some cases fur the yarns most suit- able to that part of the continent. Not much demand is noticeable for the Mediterranean. For India and China sums activity is observable, and for mules I. to id. was obtained. Cop yarns for home consumption were in good request at hardening rates. WOOL —l3nenroitn, March 31.—Since last Thursday, several holidays having been observed, the consumption of wool has beim lessened, and less inquiry by buyers. The prices which are now quoted, and said to have been realised, ate such that it is impossible to use with any hope of ever realising cost. The spinners have been anti cipating some ease in the price of wool, and have worked their stocks down in consequence—but it is now certain that no material reduction can be looked fee until a supply of the new clip comes to market. Neils and brukes aro very eagerly bought up at firm prices. There is now considerably more inquiry for yarns, conse quent on the termination of old contracts, and the manufac turers, having taken order,. for goods, are desirous of secu ring yarns to cover. The conflict is greater now than at any previous period, kfor it is impassible to make any numbers of yarns under 12s. per gross, a price which the' trade cannot pay, and at less, the spinners must lose considerably; and if wool should attain any higher price, we fear a considerable stoppage of machinery will fol low, till either higher prices for yarns be established, con sistent with the cost, or some relief be the new clip, at easier prices, which the closing of the old one does not hold out much hope for. The supply is not greater than the demand fur spools, and for bank or reeled yarns the market is ex ceedingly low. Anything that is now offering is very second rate, and prices are much higher than a few weeks ago. The exports, thus far, in 1853, are 372 packages below the same period of last year, en that unless a substitute has been found fur worsted yarns we may expect ere long to see the shipping houses more active. There is a large business doing to order, and the stock of goods in the bands of the manufacturers not great. The many difficulties that p►esent themselves makes it exceed ingly arduous to produce goods on which prime cost can be realised. The prices demanded for cotton and worsted are such that it is far better to stop the looms than make goods. In Lancashire the complaininge arc t coolly great, and some whose business is entirely with worsted yarns arc turning to cotton, till they can get better prices fur tl, it fools, for as every contract runs out for yarns they cannot place new ones, except at prices that will incur a great loss. TILE CORN TRADE.--13insitx ?eaten 31. With the exception of a few fine mild days there bas been a continuance of cold weather during the n:onth, with sharp frosts almost err ry night. and frequent snow storms, so that little progress could be made in planting grain : a change of wind in the present wee). has however produced a milder temperature, and if the frost be not followed by rain the land will soon be in a very favourable state for field labour, and for sowing seeds and groin of all kinds. The season is however so far advanced, that we expect much of the land intended for wheat in the autumn will be appropriated to a‘ine kind of spring corn. The supply of new wheat from the farmers continued limit l oaring the month, and been taken freely by our millers at fully the prices it would have realised at the commencement, s rile old and foreign, except that which is perfectly awed and fresh, have given wry 2s. per quarter. The greatest rid uction has taken place in the secondary descriptions of Odessa, some cargoes of which have been disposed of on the coot AMERICAN MARKETS. New luau, MARCH 19. The offerings at the banks eontinue very large, but the demand for money. in the street, is hardly so brisk, and both short loans and prime business paper, are more readily negotiated. The imports of dry gonels continue very larcc,the teal receipts fur the week being more than twice as large, as for the corresponding week of last year. It will be seen by the statement annexed that a greater proportion of the arrivals have been warehoused than during any previous week this season. This bas been in consequence of the pressure in the money market, which made it convenient to postpone the payment of duties : iliPoltto Or FOREIGN DRY Goons AT New YORK. For the week. 1852. 1853.

FOREIGN GOODS.—The market has been active only for such goods as are needed for immediate assortment. BRITISH GOODS have been dull, particularly fer all de descriptions of fancies, which are held is considerable stock, and offered more freely. Staple goods are steady, but there is little general animation, and the trado take held sparingly. currox.—Accounts from New Orleans of a further de cline in the comparative reeeipts has given a fresh stimulus to the market, which is buoyant and active, at the advance of 4c. noticed yesterday. The sales for three days reach 12,000 bales, making, for the week, 15,600. We quote— Atl made Ober forts. Florida. Gulf Pons. Inferior niminsl. no:mint. nominal.

Oor last respects were heeled for the Arctic, under date of 6th inst. The sales the following week were 8,000 bales, the market advancing one quarter cent. the early part of the week, which was lost at the close of it from local scarcity of money, causing negociations for ex change to be postponed. The sales of Monday, 14th inst., were only about 300 bales, at prices a shade under our previous quotations, attributed to the unfavourable na ture of the Africa's advices received that morning. On Tuesday the sales reached 2,400 bales, at a shade better prices, owing to a greater ease in money matters. On Wednesday telegraphic adviess of a considerable fulling off in receipts brought out buyers on speculation, and the sales reached 2,500 bales at one-eighth of a cent. bet ter. On Thursday the desire to buy increased, and the business ran up to nearly 6,000 bales, closing at prices exhibiting a further advance of one quarter of a cent. Yesterday there was en absence of excitement, and as holders brought out their supplies freely at the advance, the rates accepted were no higher, at which 2,000 bales were ,disposed of. We advance our quotati as one-half cent., except for low qualities, which are held firmer at former figures. We had receiv ed no 'deices of the Canada up to the hour of going to press. The receipts are now falling off, as will be noticed by our comparative table. Telegraphic advice, show that the following week will exhibit a greater diminution. The tone of public senti ment in regard to the amount of the crop does not appear affected as yet by the fact, as, if prices rise, it is expected that the coming importation of the crop will be precipi tated upon this port greater than usual. The demand for good cotton keeps up, but it is evident that finally the lower qualities must improve in price, as the dispropertiou be tween them will force the purchaser otherwise to supply his wants from them. The spring opens favourably for field culture, and so far has been an improvement on the pre ceding. We are advised that in Texas they have already gat through the bulk of the planting. The other south western states are preparing the ground as yet. The 'peen. latin movement noticed had its origin at the southern ports, and said to be for the account of planters. A/MlL—The sales are 60 barrels at 4.75 dole. to 4.81/ dole. for pots, and 6.561 dole, to 6.621 dole. for pearls.

Wheat is heavy and very dull ; buyers hold off, hoping for lower prices ; prime white Genesee would bring 1 dol. 17c. to ' 1 dol. lk. ; ditto Ohio, 1 dill. He., but holders ask more. Rye is firm, with sma ll sales at 981: some lots are also re ported to arrive. Oats are steady at 47 to 49 for state end Western; 46 to 47 for Penn.; 44 to 46 for Jersey, and 36 to 44 for Southern. Barley is plenty, and lower, it may be quoted at 66 to 70. Corn is inactive, and except for yellow, is in very little demand; yellow is scarce and wanted. The sales are 13,000 bushels at 68 to 60 for unsound ; 61 to 62 for Southern mixed ; 62 to 631 for Southern white ; 64 to 66 for Southern yellow; 66 for Jersey yellow, at which a cargo was sold ; 59 to 611 for New Orleans, and 66 i for Western mixed. 01141.—We notice nothing new in this market; further sales of whale were made, supposed at previous rates.

There has been a very slight decline in sugar since my last, not, probably, permanently to effect the market, as the near approach of the holidays causes an anxiety to get off stocks and Vessels, which, once bearing up the price again, the appearance of abort product, and desire to anticipate orders already in hand, by shipments for account c l the speculative commission merchant and factor of the planter holding them, will be apt to keep them firm at the rates of two weeks since. The receipts of the week are 32,735 boxes; the shipments, 12,573 boxes. To the United States, 4,011 boxes; Cowes and a market, 769; France, 4,085 ; Spain, 1,745; Genoa, 795; Belize, 168.

The stock of sugar l now on hand at the warehouses of Regla and in store in the city is equal to 95,850 boxes. The proportion of superior whites coming in is far less than other classes, and short of other seasons. Sales at Matanzas in the past week have been dull compared with our market, and prices not so well sustained.
