LATEST INTELLIGENCE. lIS DAY, Four o'clock. • At half-past twelve, yesterday afternoon, the onswer to inquiries at the castle of Dublin respecting the state of Lord liessborough's health, was, " His exceileacy is no worJc." The Peninoular sad Oriental Con Hip' on, whh the second portion of the ed Last evening at Southampton. arrived We Lave accounts from the Cape of Good Hope to the 4th March. Sir Henry Pottinger had arrived at Sidhury, on his war f r om Port Elizabeth to Graham's Town, which 'Place he was expected to reach on the 27th February. The commander-in-chief bad arrived in Grahams Town three days previously. The Est4eris Province Herald thus informs as that all farther attempts to recover her Majesty's steamer • Thunderbolt had been abandoned: "A lest effort was • put forth, which, we are sorry to relate, only dis covered to those concerned that this noble vessel could not again be restored to the public scrviee. About 450 men were employed in pumping the whole of Sunday, and they were able so for to reduce the water is the vessel that her steam could be feebly applied, sad the vessel was for the last time got afloat ; but, a =nay being made, the determination was soon come to of abandoning the vessel. Late in the evening, therefore, all on board left her to her rest, and before next morning she had again sunk as far as ever into ' the sand. During the week she has been stripped of her chief rigging, spars, &e., which, along with ber stores, have been shipped on board the Eurydice for Simon's Bay. The crew of the Thunderbolt will likewise proceed for their destination by the same Teasel." The Kaffirs continued their marauding incursions, and had been again seen in some numbers on the Fish River. The accounts from Kaffirland state that no sooner had the British troops re-crossed the Kei than the whole country between that stream and the Bsahee was covered with cattle, and among them innumerable droves belonging to the people of the Chief Pato. Speaking of late advices from the same quarter, the Graham's Town Journal has dm following: The accounts from Kaffirland give a most favourable idea of the state of the forthcoming hervcet among the', Kaffin. It is stated that the crops of Kaffir and Indian I corn, from the Eel to the Kieskamrna, are magnificent in ape pearance, and abundant beyond all previous example. The valleys bordering the several streams form a series of what are called "gardens," and which simply moans corn-fields. Thus, while the men have been fighting our troops in Kaffir land, or marauding in the colony, the Kaffir women have very providentially been providing against want for the ensuing year. Kreli, it is said, has sent in word that our government must not lose its patience with him, it being his determination to redeem his pledge by the delivery of the cattle pr alined to be given up to the colonial author.. ins. From King . Williams Town we learn that a drove of 30 oxen, belong ing to the camp, bad been carried off by the Kaffir., and that three herdsmen were missing, under cit.- eamstan'es strongly inducing the belief that they had fallen into the hands of the Kaffirs. The military had been active in pursuit of the marauders, whom they had traced into the country occupied by Umbala and his people. The chief, on being upbraided for having connived at the escape of-these Kaffir,, replied that he had no means of preventing it. He stated that they were Pate's people, and which appears to be confirmed by the fact that two of Pato's men were taken risoners by the military. These men endeavoured to break loose during the night. In the attempt one was shot dead ; the other viceeeded in escaping. Some curious information is also afforded respecting the unfortunate Capt. Hambrick, 7th Drag. Guards, who fell into the bands of the savages at the viry commencement of &sower. It is affirmed that his remains were treated with the mom sickening indignity—that he was literally flayed, the head and limbs being afterwards severed from the lifeless trunk. The skull has been since used by • celebrated" witch doctor," named Umaycki, for the purposes of witchcraft. This noted Kaffir wizard saccustomed to prepare a decoction with certain herbs, which are said to possess potent magical powers, and which with certain ceremonies he pours into the skull of this ill-fated and lamented officer. He next, with a rod, f rmed something like a churning stick, stirs about the horrible potion, and then withdrawing it and twirling it with both hands extended as far as he can reach, ha turns to the different points of the compass, denouncing maledictions upon the English, and predicting their discom fiture and disgrace in the war in which they are engaged. One twirl of the rod conveys sickness to the ranks of the British troops—another entails weakness—mother fear, and so forth. The Kaffir,, it is well known, have implicit faith in these incantations ; and it is said that Sandilla km been powerfully influenced in his recent proceedings by the arts of this barbarian impostor. The following is Sir Henry Pottinger's reply to the Port Elizabeth address, the substance of which ap peared in the Expression the 27th inst. Omni( reen,—l beg you will accept my warm thanks for the kind and flattering sentiments towards myself personally which you have expressed in the address that has just been read. When h , r Majesty the Queen was graciously plemed to select me for the high and reepousible situation which I now fill, I wan previously made fully acquainted with the import ance and marmitude of the trust intended to be reposed in me, and I took on myself that trust not from any overween• ing notion of ray own ability or qualifications to fulfil its varied obligations, but with • prior resolution that no zeal or exertion—whether bodily or mental—should be wanting on my part towards effecting the object of my appoint ment in a manner that should be satisfactory to my sovereign and country ; that is, by securing the permanent tranquillity and attendant advancement and prosperity of this coleny, and likewise tending to the ultimate civilisation and well being of the border tribes, who have unhappily hitherto proved its greatest bane. With that resolution, and them aspirations, I have entered on my duties, and whilst I confess that the complication of difficulties which I have before me at this moment, appears, perhaps, somewhat greater t h an I had antieipated, yet I trust, under God's providence, with good intentions, firm ness, and perseverance, supported by the large powers placed in my bands, and aided by the advice and active assistance of my distinguished military colleague, to surmount them all in due season. In the mean time, I will not omit this opportunity—the first I have had—of impressing on you, gentlemen, as well as all these whom you represent (and, in.fiect, on her Majesty's subjects generally—of whatever clam, colour, or description throughout this colony), the necessity that will mu t be held to exist for your being prepared, in case of emergency, to stand forth to protect your lives and property, and thine dearer to many of you than either. It appears to me that in this colony, beyond all other parts of the globe which I have visited, the inhabitants ought—however strong the government under which they lies--to be always united and ready to oppose marauders and foreign aggression ; and ' though I sincerely trust that no occasion will aria for my calling for your services with that object, yet I indulge the fullest confidence that, should it unfortunately prove other wise, you will, one and all, promptly respond to the call. I may conclude by stating, that one of my great objects at this instant being to collect information, I Mtn conse quently very glad to receive eammtnications from all who may be disposed to favour me with such, hut in l a y)ing this I need seemly add that by receiving remarks, neither must be understood to, even tacitly, subscribe to the accu racy of the one, nor to pledge myself, however remotely, to the adoption in any degree of the other. I have deemed it advisable to make these concluding observations with reference to the review of pact events which the present address contains, lost my silence on this and any similar futon occasion should be misapprehended. — I remain, gentlemen, your most faithful and obedient servant, HENRY POTTINGEK. To the Gentlemen Merchants, Traders, Land holders, &c.. of Port Elizabeth. We have accounts from Bahia to the 27th of Feb., bat they present no feature of interest.

Quite a seruiatien vrea created here by the arrival of Dr. English, s catholic clergyman osanectsul with the Wiese at Rome. Various reports were in circulation re- %/ 4- 7-1--i 2. spee“ag the purport of his visit, sad it was not null the eve of hie departure that it became known. It has rime transpired that some months ago, some canons awl Fiala, counselled by some goserrunaat employ.* wall known as staunch partisans of the Jeeuita, secretly addressed a letter to the Pope, pointing out the advanced age of the Bishop of Malta—upwards of ninety—his incapacity to fulfil the duties of his diocese, and recommending the appointment of I a coadjutor. The Popc sent Dr. English to Malta to in vestigate the affair. Dr. English unfortunately fell into the Jesuit snare, and recommended his Holiness to appoint a coadjutor in the person of Bishop Publics Saul, Bishop of Lands, an excellent person as a man, bat one totally unfit, setting aside his being a staunch friend to the Jesuits, to pre side over the church of Malta. The clergy of Malta are, con sequestly, at war ; the Jesuit party wish for Bishop Saul, the liberal part oppose it; and strong protests are about to be addressed to Rome upon the subject, especially as this ap pointment appears to have been made without the sanction of the British government. On the Bth, in the evening, as &ca tholic priest, a canon, and master of the government school as Suites, by name Dedoseenioo, was going horns, he was stopped by a sentinel of the 97th regiment, whilst on duty, who desired him immediately to give him some money. The canon said be had none to give, and was proceeding on his ' way, when tho sentry collared him, kept him prisoner, and delivered him over to the "wpm' of the peed, charged with having improperly assaulted him. of course, the canon denied, and told his tale ; the sentry per sisted in his, and the police was emit tor. After hearing the charge, the police allowed the canon, as he was well known, to go home. The noon tossulted with his Mends, sad early the nest morning waited upon his excellesey the goveracwireanal, Sir Patna Stuart, stating the cam. Ma excellency told hint he could say nothing until the Me had been heard, and reported upon by the police and the com manding officer of the 97th. The poor eanon, who is a talented young man, much respected by everybody, and of modest and retiring habits, was horror-struck at the idea of having to meet such a diabolical charge clothed in his sacerdotal robes, before a court of justice. lie went home, retired to his room, and cut hi. thrat : the wound was not however mortal, and he y, t lingers in hie misery. The success of this soldier of the 97th encooraged another of the 64th to try thesame trick. On Saturday morning, the 10th, about eight o'clock, u • Greek gentleman, a merchant here, was taking his customary morning walk in the sipper barrage, over looking the grand harbour, the sentinel on duty idea and asked him kg some monez. The Greek gle, him exp. Toe sentry then took WM prtedaer, and when the - tetlef came dimmed him with having im properly assaulted him. He was handed over to the police, but allowed to go at large upon his own ricog- MiZaltill. - . Them diabolical attempts at extortion and vilification hays filled men's minds wtth horror and dread. No man considers himself safe when near ► soldier, a sentry especially, unless he has a eomp►oion. If this is allowed too 00, BOON thing serious will occur. The natives, if they find them. selves exposed to the accusations of every armed ruffian, and have no further remedy than their own conscientious denial for an unjust ezposi in a rolice-court, will be apt to take the law into their own hands and punish the offender on the spot. The idea of persons assailing men an duty, armed with a musket, bayonet, and ball cartridge, is too absurd to admit of a moment's consideration. . . 7he Penasular and Oriental Company's steamer Ariel arrived last right at 10 r.x. fromAlesandris, with Calcutta and Bombay mails and passengers. The passengers and mail, rid Southampton, were transhipped to the Ripon. H.M.S. Spitfire railed this morning at eleven with the overland mail fur Marseilles. A French line-ofsbattle ship passed the island on Sotnr ay, the 10th, steering with a strong N.W. to the cast. She is b.:hewed to he one or the linen which are to form a squadron for Prince de Joinville at Salamis. A letter received here from Beyrout, mentions that three Jews have been united at Jerusalem, charged with having bound and gagged a christian boy of twelve years of age, wids the intent of opening the veins is his legs, to procure ehristian blood for the celebration of their passover. The boy managed to make his cries heard; the Jews were seized, and the boy taken to the French consulate. The affair is being investigated. Speculators in corn here have made a nice harvest. The corn trade here is a perfect monopoly in the hands of half • dozen persons. They charge what they please, and cannot possibly lose; for if their foreign speculations do not turn out so well as they ex pected they rise the price in Malta to make up for it. Wheat here is now 70e. per qr. first quality °down, and yet the loaf, weighing 111 b. English weight, and of • rinality far inferior to what is called English seconds, costa 31d., r more than 2d. per lb., for brown bread. There are upwards of 23,000 qrs, in deposit, many of them pur chased some months ago at 30e. per qr. ; so they am making • pretty profit. The government will not in terfere, the people asked for an abolition of the govern ment reserve stsres of grain, kept to meat a case of scarcity like the present, and for the trade to be left entirely in the hands oi the merchants; they obtained it, and now they see the consequences of what was foretold them. Every other article of primary necessity is consequently enormously dear. Prince Charles, of Capon, and his consort and family, are still ileitis at Sliema, quite retired. Nothing is known here of the truth of that article in the Augsburg Gazette, that a reconciliation had taken place, de., between the prince and his august brother, the King of Naples, neither is it believed, although such an occurrence would create universal batiste°. tiou. English vessels are not so much in demand, and freights are much lower. They aro now 7s. to Bs. to Liver pool or London, per quarter. There are upwards of twenty vessels in barboar.

THE FORTRESS or SAN JUAN D'ULLOA.—The following is on extract of a letter in the last number of the Nem York Tribune, from an officer on board the United States ship Albany: " As from the deck, with my glass, swept over the city of Vera Cruz, its environs, and the strcughold which covers it—said to be impregnable to the combined fleets of the earth—it was with a rather serious feeling that my eyes rested upon this grim, grizzly pile, barbed and bristling with its hundreds of cannon. The ques tion at once arises, can it be taken ? Shall we ever see our fleet moving up over the expanse before me to attack it ? I doubt it very much. Certainly not, with any force we have, or have had hem. Let people prate as much at home as they please about it. If ever it is done, it will be by • tremendous array of cannon, and a most awful loss of life. The castle of Vera Crux is no more what it was when the French carried it, than you are now to what you were when a nursling is your mother's arms. Then there were no guns above the calibre of 24 pounds, and but very few of them well served. The magazines, una'ched, were not bomb-proof. The powder was of such an inferior character that not a shot pen -rated the side of a French ship, but at the close of the enga;:ement were stuck about the sides of the shipping, like so mat.: balls of mud ; and in addition to all this the commanding officer, having been instructed not to fire the tint gun, permitted the French squadron to come up and take its position as quietly as though mooring to pass the winter season. Now, let us see what a change time and a severe lemon have effected in this same castle. There are at pre sent mounted within its periphery nearly 300 cannon, and these all 32's, 42's, and 8 sad 10 inch Paixhans, there being • very largo number of the latter; and wherever it has been possible to train a gun upon the channel of approach, they are planted, enbarbette, so that a fleet moving up to the attack must be exposed to a concentrated fire of 70 cannon, over a distance of two miles before it can get into position to return a single shot. The Zastle of San Juan trouts the city at • distance of about 3-Bt'ra of a mile, and is supported by • water-battery, at the north-west angle of the town, of 50, 32, and 42-pound guns ; all of which would pour their volleys on the squadron paying up, bows on, from the moment it arrived within range of the shot, until its anchors were down with erez r h an occa p o ro sketahl u .l c u c te , Z r e i n n t s h u at a fo th re e e ca w bi ou e Um ith re in q uired and at what an immense 'orifice it wouid be accomplished, if at all. The garrison at this moment is composed of 2 000 men. In the event of an attack they would, with the most perfect safety, retire within the casemate* (which are as im pervious to shot as the sides of Mount Orinba) until the ammunition of the wailing force was expended, when they would return to their guns aril sweep the waters before them with the most terrific, destructive effect. The o ffi cer com manding the castle lately sent official word " that if the commodore would bring his fleet up, he might fire until there wu not a shot left in the locker, and he would pro mise him not to return a gun until he was done firing."

ON VENTILATION. At the last meeting of the Institute of British Architects, a paper of some public interest was read, by Mr. Toynbee, on ►entilation. Mr. TOTNBEI commenced by Aging that the result of the extended in►estigations, so long conducted by the medical profcsdon, into the nature and treatment of disease, demon strated that the great duty of every man was to carry out pre►entive measures. English people seemed to be but little aware of the amount of disease by which man at the present time isa ; and yet the details in Lord Morpeth's recent speech, the returns of the registrar-general, and statis lice from various Downes, showed that them disease was the rule, and health was the exception. Let it to eosin nually repeated, and never forgotten, that one-fourth of the children born in England die before they reach the fifth year; and out of 49.089 people who died in London in the year 1848, 22,275 died before they remised thsattesnth year, and only 2,241 of old age,. which Baerhateve stated to be the only disease natural to man. In addition to this it must be known that, as a general rule, when the body is examined atter death, whether of • child or adult, one or more organs is found in a state of disease, • fact which induced • physician to state, that he looked upon every adult he met in the streets of London as • walking museum of morbid anatomy. Of the causes of the 49,089 deaths in 1846 he examiued, it will be found that the enormous proportion of 14,368 was from die canes of the organs of respiration. Now, it has been shown that the great sources of these diseases was the respirations of impute air. To suggest measures for the removal of this great evil, and to present some of the most dist 'easing diseases to which mankind is subject, was his object in responding to the request of the society that he would deliver the present add:via. Mr. Toynhee then pro ceeded to consider the subject of ventilation in its various bearings. In proof of the necessity for ventilation, he stated that it was of great importance that air should be continually is motion, for, like water, when stagnant it became offensive and injurious this was accounted for by the fact that the air always contained a large quantity of animal and vegetable j matter in the fora of the ova of infusoria and the seeds of the lower vegetable organisms. But the act of respiration was the groat cause of the deterioratiou of the air. The air in the lungs was exposed to 170,000,020 of cells, having • surface equal to 30 times that of the body; that euring i rai Vadat the sir ems deprived et oxygen, and litiaMn• with deadly embank acid gas, mid was refidertel totally unfit for a second respiration, being in reality no longer at mospheric air, but a poisonous gas. A second cause of the deterioration of the air is the combustion of lamps, gas lights, candles, &c. A single candle is nearly as injurious to the air as a human being. Two fourteen-hole Argand burners consumed as much air so eleven men. A third source vf at mospheric impurity is, the vapour, loaded with animal matter, given off from the lungs and the skin. Each of these parts pours out an ounce of fluid every hour, so that, in a church containing 500 people, 14 gailons of noxious Nuid are given off in two hours. A fourth ileum of bad air in towns is the large quantity of decomposing animal and vegetable matter left to give off its effluvia, and the difficulty there is in the renewal of the air in towns by means of the winds, on se. count of the vicious mode of then. construction and their large size. In reference to the impurity of the sir of Lon don, Dr. Mantell st ites, that various classes of infosoria which he was in the habit of keeping alien in his house at Clapham, all died in London, and it is well known that scarcely any plants will livo in London. It was then stated that certain diseases were ells taictly traceable to the absence of ventilation, viz., fever, c insumptien, scrofula, tleafnete, and that most fertile origin of numerous diseases, the common " cold." It was shown that 120,000 people in England and Wales are always slowly dying from consumption; that .there is double the amount of this disease among in-door than there is among out-door labourers. That this disease was More frequent among women than among men ; that in 1839, out of 33 milliners who died in London, 28 died of consumption. Mr. Toynbee then showed that, up to the present time, the subject of vmtiertion had been entirely neglected in the eon structisn of no-ens, houses, towns, and cities; that the greatest injury had been inflicted upon mankind by this neglect, and, as the po?ulrtion increased, and towns became larger, the evil must become crra'er, unbes remedies were at once carried into ME. et. Under these circumstance., until society should be sufficieutly informed voluntarily to secure its well-being, it was the bounden duty of a government, the enlightened guide of its people, to suggest measures and see them carried t ut, to prevent the large amount of misery that the absence of ventilation was producing. The important question, then, was, hs.w far could government interfere with advantage in enforcing plena of ventilation by legisl i. live enactments? Mr. Toynbee then submitted the following propositions for the adoption br government, to the consi deration of the institute:—l. That no living, sleeping, or work-room shall contain less than 141 superficial tett, or shall be less than ei;ht feet high. 2. That such room shall have one wiudee, at least. opening at the top. 3. Also, an epen tire-place. 4. That in every living, sleeping, or work room erected in future, some method shall be adopted of allowing the foul air to eacape from the upper part of the room. He then pointed out the practicability of car rying out this provision, either by the introduction of Arnotete vale. into the chimney, thousands of which were at this time in operation, and which might also be adapted to existing chimneys without fear of smoke by the addition of a simple contrivance which he described, or a l distinct channel might be made for the purpose. As a peel( that eentileition mast largely conduce to the prevention of disease, he stated that during the pat year there was a diminution of nearly 800 in the number of sick applying for admission to the St. George and St. James's Dispensary, and it was believed that this, in part at least, was due to the improvement made by the Samaritan Fund, attached te the dispensary, in ventila: iog the abodes of the poor in the dis trict. 5. That every such room erected in future shall have some means of continually admitting fresh air. 6. In every public building in which gas is us,l, to Mina upon the use of plans to carry off the product of combustion, and not to allow them to escape in • room. Various plans having this object are in operation in hundreds of shops, and may be seen in many shops in Regent-street. By their use not only are the goods in the shop raved from injury, but the health of the people is improved. Ho was happy to hear that in Covent Garden Theatre, not a particle of the products of combustion from the gas was allowed to enter the theatre. 7. That all churches, schools, theatres, workshops, work houses, and other public buildings, shall adopt such methods of ventilation as are approved by the medical officer of health. —Mr. Toynbee pointed out how these desirable objects were to be earned out, and showed that every house and roam must be au arranged that it cm be supplied with fresh air to replace the vi iated air which has been re. moved. Professor Honking had carried out these plans in every part of his house, and, until they were general, the diseases dependent upon the want of ven tilation must be a scourge to society. lie observed that in all the stables now erecting, admirable plans of ventilation were adopted. Hosing given this subject deliberate con- j sideration, he had arrived at the above conclusions, in which, i among many others, he was supported by Dr. Sutherland, of Liverpool, and Dr. Gay, of London, two of his many ' fellow-labourers in the public health cause,whose enlightened intelligence was only eq tilled by their benevolence. In conclusion, he stated that the various health of towns as sociatiens were at work heart and soul instructing the MAWS of the people as to the best means of promoting their physical welfare, a labour in which every enlightened man should join, and he felt that if government would lend all the aid in its power towards currying out sanitory measures, not only would an enormous amount of misery be saved, but an extent of happiiiess would be gained of which we had at present only a faint ides.

Stoke is a small vil lage, containing, in the parish, 500 inhsbitants, and about GO dwellings. Toe train which leaves Paddington at 7.30 am. posses at the back of Stoke about 3.10 p.m., and reaches Eider at 3.20. A cinder from the engine of this train was, it it said, the immediate csuac of the Oro. Soon after the train Ted passed, the thatch of • iinhay, not • lanil. yard from the rails, was discovered to be in Names. The wind was blowieg very hard from the S.W., and the tire extended in two directions—the one being easterly, towards the main street ; the other northerly, towards the lirampsftrd Speke-road. In one direction the New Inn, the Tithe Baru School-house, several cottages, and the house of Mr. Hayeroft, are destroyed. In Mr. Hayereifes house 100 packs of wool Were consumed. In the easterly direction the flames soon reached the King's Arms (the only other public-home in the place), ten or • dozen small tenements, and the vicarage -house, occupied by the Rev. W. T. Napleton Penoyre (whose furniture was con sumed, together with the coseununion.pla . e, which had only been removed there for safety on the previous evening), the dwelling of the Rev. Mr. Knight, who was absentia London, and cia that of • lady named Craig, who emeluma • seminary for young ladies. The fire was subdued altar destroying the out-houses of the rector, the Rev. Mr. Bond. The most af fecting part of this sad history was the appropriation of the church to the shelter of the sufferers. Here might be seen collected together a confused mass of kitchen utensils, vessels of all kinds, clock-eases, fiaskets of crockery, and (to the poor) little valyiebles ; prdvisUns„such as pieces of raw pork and tuts full of potatoes, clothing, and broken fumitare the larder pews tilled with bedding, M which whole families had slept, and on the seats we saw bits of candle which had evidently been need to light them to their unumal resting-plane. The females who remained, looked with a serious and melancholy air on the remnants of their property. whilst some were engaged at the same time in rocking the cradles of their infants placed in the aisle.. Yet with all this misery, there is one abundant source of thankfulnesa and congratulation—not one life has been lost. Half-past 3 o'clock is said to be the time when the fire commenced, and it was act got under until 9 in the evening. COMMERCIAL li• MARKETS.

On the 7th instant, Bank Stock was quoted 199 to 201, without dividend, as at present. The quotations gradually declined to 191 to 3, as they stool at the opening of business this morning. The stock has since been done at 189, with this particularity that buyers appear to be wanting. A leading broker, after eel.ing all that he could obtain otters for, adopted the expe dient of fixing up publicly a notice in the Stock Exchange, inviting any persons desirous of purchasing Bank Stock to apply to him. Such a course is considered to he not less extra ordinary than unprecedented. The oldest members of the house do not recollect such a transaction. The effect is seen in the quotations, now called 188 to 190. Dutch stock. come lower from the Amsterdam exchange, where the Two-and-a-Half per Cents, were called at 59 only on the 26th instant.

NEWCASTLC, APRIL 27.-The weather has become tem pestuous, and although we hare had some heavy rain since this day se'nnight, it has not brought that genial warmth which might have been expected. The Wheat plant still cectinucs to look healthy, but very backward. At our men ket this morning we had a moderate show of Wheat from the country; and, notwithstanding we have no arrivals to report coastwise, the trade opened rather heavily, and, before a clearance could be effected, a slight concession bad to be made. In south country qua- Utica or foreign, ex-granary, but few trannactiene oc curred, holders for the most part feeling unwilling to accept present rates. For Flour we experienced • fair inquiry, but ms yet 585. has not been exceeded for Nor folk households, whilst very fair marks have been sold at 56e. to 575. per seek, resptively. Rye is mach wanted. Malting and grinding Bar ley the turn dearer, with little offering. Malt the same. Beans and Peas a shade higher; and the same remark will apply to Oats. Pi.rmoirrit, APRIL 26.-Supplies of Corn continue small, and at this morning's market the prices of Wheat and Flour advanced 2e. The .feather is mild, and favourable for vege tation. DUBLIN, APRIL 27.-We have not much change to report in the state of our market from Friday. Samples of fresh Wheat, being very scarce, fully maintained their value, and in some instances realised a slight improvement ; but for all other articles the demand was dull at the currency of last last day.

BELFAST, APRIL 26.-The weather has been rather colder since our last, but still highly favourable to vegetation. The supplies of Grain coming to market continue short. There is ne change of price in any article ex eept Wheat, which is rather dearer. In Landow, ea It% last, large purchases were agate made in Whoa, ea sad Belgian account, at advanced rates. We have had farther direct arrivals of Indian Corn since our last, and a good deal was sold on Friday last, at full rates; but to-day the trade was dull, and prices gave way fully 10s. per ton.
