The situation of the Madrid press ta moat precarious.

ITALY. Arrests are taking place on a large beak through out Lombardy. The gat risons receive reinforcements. A private Liter from Milan in the ...Vete Zurich Ga zette statue that the insuiriction was to have broken out on the ;ith, but that the chiefs., having been ap prised of the fact that the police had been informed of it, countermanded the movement. Nevertheless the order not having been generally made known, the partial insurrection of the Gth took place. The following tel.graphic despatch appears in the dladyiburg Uautge cor the 13th:—" Vienna, Feb. 14. At Stradella, in Piedmont, 700 insurgents have been disarmed. The Piedniontese government has at the same time adopted very stringent measures against persoi.s crossing the Austrian frontier." A deputation of Ntilanese notables has repaired to Vienna, to sae for the revocation of Itadetzskv's vin dictive decree. The old marshal is still at Verona, his usual residence. The oil= in command of the guard at the Vice Regal Palace at Milan, when it was surprised by the insurgents, has been degraded ”nd sentenced to serve as a common soldier. The execution of several soldiers is reported. Advices dated simultaneously from Berne, Splugen, Bellineona, and Vienna, make known that Radetzsky has cut otf all communications between Lombardy and Switzerland, and the frontier is hermetically closed. The Milan diligence still travels as far as Itellinsona, but carries no passengers. Letters front Lugano, and the Zurich Gazegle, state that the Austrians have given semi-official assurances that this state of things will be continued only for two or three days, until they shall have had time to arrest the suspected. GERMANY. AUSTRIA. The Austrian government is pouring fresh troops into Lombardy. The Lloyd of the 12th has the fol lowing: "A day or two ago when the Hungarian infantry regiment, Prince Schwarzenberg, left for Milan, the Emperor addressed them in the Runge gun language, and his speech called forth a most ex traordinary enthusiasm. Yesterday the same thing occurred on the departure of the Gallician regiment, Rossbach. When the Emperor had finished his ha rangue the civets resona&d so loud that they were heard from the Gloggnitz station as far as the lines." Thus are the various nationalities of this piebald monarchy played off against one another. TURKEY. The Wanderer, of Vienna, states that the Austrian government has informed the Pope's nuncio that it has the moat sanguine expectation of coming to a satisfactory understanding with Turkey respecting the treatment of the Christians in the Ottoman do minions. It will be remembered that the alleged persecutions of the revels has been put forward by the Vienna cabinet much more prominently than the Montenegrin affair as a ground of its differences with Turkey. Telegraphic accounts from Vienna of the 17th state, on the other hand, that the Porte declines to give • satisfactory pladge to Count Leisingen, and that the regiments which had been halted were to resume their march to the frontier. THE UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC. LIVERPOOL, BArcan,►r MORNING. The United States mail steam-chip Baltic, Captain Comstock, arrived in the Mersey at one o'clock this morning, with 70 passengers, 150,000 dollars in specie on freight, and the canal semi-weekly mails from New York. The Baltic was detained in New York two days beyond her appointed day of sailing, on account of the adverse weather which prevailed. The United States Senate was engaged in the die cusaios of the bill for confirming the grant for the Pacific Railroad project. The House of Representatives had under dismis sion a bill for regulating the silver coinage, by which it was proposed to depreciate the silver min seven per cent., and also to levy a seignorage of from one half to one per cent. on all coins in future; but this proposition of the *signora(' was vehemently eP r e le arrival of the Empire City at New York from Havannah, we have received intelligence from the latter place to the 31st of January. The sugar market was firm at previous prices. A great fire had taken place at Cardenas, Cuba, on the 29th ult., by which the Custom-house, the theatre, and a number of sugar and molasses warehouses were burnt. The bee was estimated at half a million of dollars. When the Baltic left New York business was ac tive; money rather tighter; stocks were feverish and uneasy, and quotations rather weaker. The cotton market had a slightly downward ten dency, with an average amount of sales ; the receipts at the southern ports continued large, and the quota tions at New York for New Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair, were 111 e. to 12a per lb.; and Upr lands, of the same quality, lle. to 111 e. The provision market was dull, and pork rather cheaper, new prime being quoted 16c. to 1610. ; new mess, 171,c. to 19c. Beef firmer, with little alteration in previous currency. The market for breadstuffs was quiet, without ma terial change. Western Canal flour was quoted 6 dole. 371 c. to 5 dots. 50c. per barrel, with a steady demand ; Oenneseee prime wheat, 1 dol. 29e. to 1 dol. 30c. per 60 lbs ; Indian corn, round yellow, 68c. to 70c. per bushel, barely supported; Southern white ditto, 66c. to 68c. per bushel; Indian corn meal, 3 dots. 50c. to 3 dole. 62c. per barrel.

PLYMOUTH, FAIDAT The Camilla, steamer, from London, has received so much damage by coining in contact with a brig off the Start that *An he. sent her _pameagen, 39 in number, to this port by a pilot boat. The steam-tog Monarch, with the Camilla agent, Mr. Waring, has gone out to seek the Camilla. THE WRECK OF THE QUEEN VICTORIA. The Freeman of this morning gives the following as the latest particulars which hare been ascertained with reference to this melancholy catastrophe: The City of Dublin Steam Packet Company received ad vice. yesterday morning from their agent at Liverpool, from which it appears that the first accounts of this de-' ' plorable disaster, calculating the number on board the ill fated vessel when she struck at about 120 passengers and crew, were tolerably correct. A perfectly precise and :emirate account of the number, either of the cabin or steerage passengers, cannot. we tear, now be obtained. The sgeat of the company gives the names of the fol lowing persons as having purchased cabin tickets at the office in Liverpool: Mr. and Mrs. Walsh, M. Lipman, Mrs. Scott, and Miss Arthur. He adds that there were several others In the cabin—probably tour or five—wlso paid their passage money on board, and whites sasses were probably entered in the stewara's or captain's list, which went down with the vessel. Several of these have been saord—namely, Mr. J. F. Daffy, Mr. J. B. Scott, and John Reardon, who was tumbled at the inquest on Wednesday. With respect to steerage passen gers, the agent of the company states that the number of deck tickets sold was 70 for adults, and two at half-price ; but be adds there " may have been more usaccounted for, and there must have loran several jobbers on board," or, as we stated in oar first account of the catastrophe, " eastle-dealer.

Thus, the exact SUOIII4I, ea baud cannot be satisfactorily ascertained ; but, ealeedating the cabin peessagen at tea, sad the deck pass/apes umeeseaseed fee at twenty, and the captain, crew, eagisesee. sad Armes at twenty-four more (which we believe is the mend somber), it would appear that at treat 120 human Wage a ere in the vessel when she started from LiverpoeL There may have beat noes or less ; but we cannot liege to receive say tartbea indentation on this point, Mid it must continue to remit a matter of pailful oonjeetase.

The re ceipts from passengers show a decrease of 174,9981., but this is accounted for by the exceptional circumstances of the year of the Great Exhibition, which render inap plicable any comparison of the receipts from this branch of traffic. It is satisfactory, however, to find in the merchan dise department the same steady increase 'observable for some year. past; and, considering the charact; rof the new traffic, and the increase of mileage run by locomotives, the working expenses are as low as is consistent with en efficient performance of th.. business, and with the perfect maintenance of the stock and works. During the months of Nos ember and December, this company, in common with others, had to conduct its traffic under circumstances of great difficulty, arising from the extraordinary and long continued flo-ds, which, for a time, threatened the most serious cons •quenecs. Owing, however, to unremitting exertion on the part of the engineering staff, the works were sus.sined, and the main lines kept open almost unin. terruptedly ; while, by the exercise of great care on the part of the engine driven and guards, the trains were con ducted throughout the trying period with greater regular ity than could have been expected ; and your direct-,n feel th.,t the servants of the company generally deserve the highest commendation." 1%,e report set forth a number of bills promoted by the company, 'he expediency of prosecuting which must de pend in a great degree on the report of the select committee of the House of Commons appointed to inquire into the question of legislation regarding railways. " The directors believe that inquiry must lead to the eon elusion that the attempt to supply the requirements of the country, and to maintain competition by granting rival lines, is au error; and if, on the recommendation of the select committee, the legislature lays down a Vibe and just course of policy in regard to the future, it will he alike the duty and the interest of the existing companies to furnish all needful actommodstion, by the formation of lines which, ' though not profitable in themselves, would certainly throw upon the main line a large amount of traffic which could not otherwise he developed. The steps which your directors have thought it expedient to adopt will enable them to act upon such a decision of parliament. tt The directors announce, with great regret, the death of one of their colleaguee, Mr. John Lewis Prevost, and have to report that they have elected Mr. John Lewis Ricardo, M.P.,to fill the vacancy so occasioned. Mr. George Loeb has een succeeded as the representative of the Dake of Sutherland by Mr. Joseph Langton. From the statement of the half-year's an. counts, it will be seen that the net pro ceeds are f 598,758 7 8 To which add the balance carried from last account £665,097 10 4 Leis—Forther allowance for renewal of rails £27,415 0 0 For addition to works and stock 39.115 10 0 Showing a disposable balance of.. £625,942 0 4 The directors recommend a dividend of 21.105. pe . for six months. amounting to 633,1551. 181. 6d. • leaving a balance of 92,7861. Is. 10d. to be carried forwird to the next half-yearly account." Mr. LOCKS, M.P., congratulated the proprietors on the ' able and lucid statement of the chairman. (Hear, hear.) He did not rise for the purpose of opposing the motion for the adoption of the report, but he found that out of a ca. pital of 1,500,0001. raised in 1800 they had already expended 1,460,0001. The first item in these estimates was one of 88,5611. for works on the main line and branches. Bet he found that the amount expended, including that expended in the present half-year, was 132,0001., being en teems of 50 per cent. on the estimate. He wished for an explanation of this point. He also wisned to have the mileage of the engines worked from Wolverton, sod that of the mileage from Crewe distinctly given. This inquiry was mid. with no idle view, but under the idea that the dif ference in the expenditure wee measured, not by ten thin rinds or twenty thousands, but by hundreds of thousands. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Diexursou said that be objected to one important point in the report. He understood that it was the predo eminent feeling of the proprietors that the capital account should be closed. (Hear, hear.) He therefore regretted to see a larger expenditure in the present report on ac count of new railways than in any former report. (Hear, hear.) The aggregate mileage of the new railways was 165 miles, which WI, more then that of the original trunk line between Birmingham and London, and them estimated oat was 2.149.0001. Instead of proposing the adjournment of thew lines till the committee of the House of Commons, had reported, he proposed that they be adjourned eine die, with the exception of the bill for transferring to this company the short line between Haydon•equare and the Blackwell Rail way, and the line between the Bucks line and that of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton. The chairman Deemed to apprehend the competition of the Great West ern. hut, as a Great Western proprietor, he felt more ap prelwasiat from the competition of this company. As a North Western proprietor, he despised the opposition of the Greet Western. He was represented as an advocate of Great Western views ; but, when he said that he had not half the interest in that company which he had in this, the inference which might be dra • n from that observation fell to the ground. (Cheers.) He thought that the amalgama tion with the Midland was a Utopian scheme. All that was wanted, in his opinion, was • working agreement with the Midland Company. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Tire said he thought it would be premature to dis the question whether they ought to proceed with the bills est forth in the report, as the proprietors would be called together for the purpose of considering that pettiest ' lar question. (Hear, hear.) He thought that the Great West ern must be necessarily aggressive is consequence of their broad gauge. What could have carried them to Birken head but an aggressive policy ? The action of this company was strictly defensive. (Hear.) The CHIIIIII4II, in reply to Mr. Locke, said that no one ought to know better than his hors. friend how difficult it was to make en accurate estimate. The item to which be referred was not for a specific service, but to meet the claims of contractors. On the Huddersfield line there was a claim of 160,0001. by a contractor which was reduced to 30,0001. He only mentioned this to show how difilcult It wu to be exact in forming estimates. With respect to the return of mileage, he did not eft that there was any particular objection against giving it, and the matter would be considered. With regard to the observations of Mr. Dickenson, the question respecting the new line would be brought before the proprietors at a special meeting, and be did net think it necessary to enter into it now. The decision of the eon • mitten of the House of Commons net tau their future policy and prospects ; and when their deeisles was known, it would be for the directors to consider the policy which they would propose to entry oat. It wee Weer, therefore, not to anticipate a disensilon wpm the subject. The report was then pat, and edeptud umainessly. A resolution, dubiety, a dividend el the rate of 6 per seat. per annum, was agreed to. Resolutions were also passed, combuthni the directors' declaration of the forfeiture of ninety-five 301. shares and twenty-five 101. shares of the late Huddersfield and Man chester Railway Company, and one hundred and eighty five 251. shares of the late Leeds and Dewsbury Railway Com any. Me. Asurow moved, and Mr. Tres seconded, the re election of Major-General Amon, es a director of the com moved as all amendment, that for the (stare no director he re-elected until he had remained one year out of office, but the a-nendment not being seconded fell to the ground. Major-General Anson was then declared re-elected, amidst loud cheers. Mr. Barrow, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Erle, and Mr. Rawson, were re-elected directors. ____.-- ----- There being one other vacancy, Mr. Tinny and Mr. Rethbons, both of Liverpool, were proposed to fill it. A show of hands being taken, Mr. Itathbone was declared to be elected. A vote of thanks having been conveyed to Mr. Olyn, the late chairman of the company, for his valuable services, Mr. GLYN said th►t he was totally unprepared for the honour conferred upon him, because at the last meeting the handsomest tribute had been paid to him for his services during the fifteen years that he was chairman of the com pany. He could assure them he surrendered that position with ►egret, and because it was absolutely necessary that be should do so. Gentlemen who occupied the position of chairman of that board had serious calls made upon their time, and had a great deal more to do, he could assure them, than people generally thought. lie did not hesitate to say that if the funct;ons of the executive committee were t be properly discharged, the time would come when they must be prepared to give remuneration for the time and services of those who served them, although he should think of claiming any for himself. (Loud cheers.) A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro ceedings.

This was an &miens upon a policy of insurance from fire, brought against the defendant, es the representative of the Phi:rain Fire Insurance Company, to recover 1,1601. The defendant pleaded that the goods were not burned ; that the plaintiff had no interest in the goods ; that he had no t delivered an account ; sad that the statement delivered was fraudulent. On these plea. issue was joined. It appeared thst the plaintiff was • pawnbroker residing in 'if mehest r, and the policy in question was fur the in 'meanie of his household goods to the amount of 1601., of pledges to the amount of 8001., and oink stock and fixtures to the amount of 4501. The premises of the plaintiff were partially destroyed by fire on the 4th July last, while he and his wife were at Birmingham. It was to recover the value of goods, Ate., destroyed upon that occasion, that the present action was brought. A number of witnesses having been examined, Lord Campbell summed up. He rejoiced that this ques tion was to be decided by 12 intelligent merchants of the City of London. lie trusted he should never live to see the day when the resistance of a jury should be denied to a judge in casulike this. There had been some talk about abolishing a jury in catee of contract—this was a eau of contract, but it was more fit for the jury than himself. There were several pleas, but the only one requiring their anxious consideration was the 6th alleging that the claim was fraudulent. Now they must bear in mind the charac ter of the plaintiff. He had been convicted of an offence against the law, and although he said he was not in tault, they must take his conviction as proof of guilt. Remem bering this, and that the circumstances of the case were undoubtedly suspicious, the company were certainly justi fied in bringing the case into court. They however must look seriously and carefully at the books and at the evidence before them, and upon that alone ground their decision. The jury retired. In a short time they returned, and gave a verdict for the defendant. FREND V. THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.— TRESPASS AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT. This was an action for an assault and false imprisonment brought sgainstithe defendanta;for having,through Mr. H um platy, their station master at Canterbury, given the plain tiff into custody on Tuesday, the 12th October, 1862. ti pore that (ley the plaintiff, who was the contractor for the Euro pean and American Telegraph Company, endeavoured to bore beneath the defendants' railway for the, purpose of passing his wires under the line. Mr. Humphrey resisted the attempt, a scuffle ensued, the plaintiff waa given into custody and taken before the mayor, who, however, dis missed the charge. This outrage was the ground of the present action. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. Welaby were for the plaintiff. Sir F. Thesiger (with whom was Mr. Willes) appeared for the defendant, and argued that the plaintiff bad no right whatever upon the railway. The carrying of the wires under the rails was injurious to their safety. Lord Campbell interposed and said, he should rule that the Telegraph Company under their act were entitled to crow the line. Sir F. Thesiger then tendered a bill of exceptions to the ruling. Lord Campbell having summed up, the jury found a ver dict for the plaintiff—Damages 601. Lord Campbell said, now that the bill of exceptions was tendered and the verdict given, he would put it to the jury to say whether the plaintiff had acted lightly in boring under the line. The jury thought that he had acted properly. ADMIRALTY COURT.-YurrADAY. &roam Da. Tx. AIUIONIA.-8411.Va05. This was a cause in which the Ching smack Eliza of Scarborough, sued the Ansonia, a Spanish schooner, bound from Christiansand for Barcelona with salt fish, for ser vices performed on the 9th of October. The salvors having seen the schooner in a disabled state, with the Spanish flag flying half-peak high, and drifting :towards Filey Rocks, steered for her through a heavy sea ; sad at the expense of great risk, boarded her. They found that the crew were all exhausted with their exertions during the previous gale, and they stated that the Captain, who dad not understand English. made signs for them to take the ship in tow, which they did while the crew went below to obtain Nine rest. The hawser at first broke, but with great difficulty the vessel was made fest to the smack, aad she was taken safely into Bridlington Bay on the following morning. The value of the schooner, her freight, and cargo was cal culated at 1,8001. . . On behalf of the ownen it was alleged that the flag was hoisted merely for a pilot ; that when the salvors came on board they were looked upon merely as pilots, and their services were bargained for 201., an agreement to MA effect being signed before their services were accepted. Dr. Haggard and Dr. Jenner appeared for the salvos ; the Queen's Advocate and Dr. Deans far the owners. The court reserved its decision. • INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—YssmaDAT SOMA ILL COMMIIIROIfIi Law. BINOULAX Camel. IN AN HINNY EDWAILD FannEx.r.. In this mu an applies' ion was made by the attorney of the insolvent (IV% Archer) to file a petition under singular eircumstancest—The insolvent, who was now in the Queen's Prison, had been in custody more than three years. He wu heard before the county court judge at Reading, and had a judgment of two years. He removed himself to the Queen's Prison, and was detained by a creditor whose debt was omitted from the schedule He was still in prison, and now wished to file another schedule, with the old debts and some new debts incurred by his wife since his hearing. An application was made to Mr. Commissioner Law, and under the peculiar circumstances of the cue leave was greeted to file a new petition. It had since been dis covered that instead of one debt omitted from the schedule there were several debt/ which should have been inserted in the old schedule, and the question was whether the court would grant leave to file a new schedule. Mr. Commissioner Law thought the case was altered by the number of old debts omitted from the schedule, and that an application should be made to the county court judge of Reading, where the insolvent was heard. He was willing to give leave to the insolvent had only one debt been left out of the schedule. He was of opinion that the county court judges had power to re-hear case., and he had so expressed himself before. There was, he was aware, a contrary opinion entertained; and if there was any diffi culty at Reading, the parties might again bring the case under his notice, bat at present the application was refused. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. TRANSPORTATION OF AN INNOCENT DIAN. It will be remembered that in October last a burglary was committed on the premises of Mesers.Whittaker when plate and money to the value of about 20W. or 3901. was stolcn. John Cooper, a porter, who had been in MINIM. Whittaker's employ for 1.3 years,and had always borne agood character, was suspected, and the eirennistaues were so strong against him that he was tried, found guilty, and subsequently transported for 10 years. In the early part of the present year • man, named Thomas Taylor, and another, were cliazged with committing • burglary on the premises of Mr. Wilkinson, of Watling-street, when silk goods were taken away to the vela, of 200 J They were convicted at the Old Bailey, aad sentenced to 10 years' transportation, and from a statement made by Taylor sub sequent to his conviction, • young man named Powell was sought for, and learning that the polios knew all about the matter gave himself up to the officers. Yesterday Powell was examined at Guildhall, when the following statement, made by Taylor to Mr. Cops, the Governor of Newgate, was read :—" At six o'clock on Sunday morning, I, Thomas Taylor, went with two others, Charles Wiz, 38 years, and Joseph Powell, 20 years, and broke open Whittaker's place by getting over the chevaux-de-friese at the back part of the warehouse, and from thence to • lead flat on which were two skylights, where we raised the window and forced the shutters, which were fastened by a cross-bar. We had tools, and forced every drawer we came to, till at last we found the key of the safe, and that key unlocked the safe, and there we found • box of plate directed to some one as if going into the country. Ws were in the building from six in the morning until half-past ten. The opening of the C.ules took • great deal of time. We Ipened them by a jemmy. We took nothing but a key from the drawer, which key unlocked one of the iron safes. We found there a clerk's book Contain ing some halves of U. notes. We took the box away. Two of us were in the house and one outside. I carried the box away. I was the man that was teen at the doer. The box was carried away in a blue bag found there. The blue bag and the box were, I believe, burnt together. We saw • will la the safe, and some bills of exchange, which we did not remove. The seven half M. notes which we took were burnt. The plata was sold to a man in Petticoat-lane, that goes by the name of" Big Mike." He gave M. in gold for the plate. The warehouseman, John Cooper, is totally unknown to me. I never saw him to my knowledge. He had no share what ever in the robbery. I was led to commit this robbery by noticing • man ring a bell and then go away, as if the place were left, a fortnight before this occurred. Powell said, "Oh, I know this place very well, as my father-in law has worked here fur many years." Powell was the person who showed us over the premises, and took us to all the desks." Atter hearing this statement the magistrate received other evidence, throwing light on more than one large robbery in Landon. Much anxiety is felt on Cooper's account by the parties to his prosecution. MANSION-HOUSE. • • • -- _ Frederick Veistan, a Dutchman, aged 33 years, who had the appearance of a seaman, was brought before the Lord Mayor charged with having plundered a public-house. I The prisoner went into the King's Head Tavern, in Great Tower-street, on Wednesday night, at ten o'clock, for the purpose of taking a bed, and retired to it without much delay, as was supposed. The ,potman, however, upon going up stairs to his place of repose, found the room is a state of confusion, and immediately informed his master that he suspected all was not correct with their new lodger. Care was taken to fasten the street-door and other outlets in such a manner and to take such other measures as would p may departure from the premises without the knowledge of the proprietor, and about half-put five o'clock in the morning the potman heard footsteps, and opening the door of his room law the prisoner with a light in his hand returning up stairs, after having in vain endeavoured to let himself out. The fellow was burdened with n Dutch clock, and a quantity of clothes, which he bad taken from three di6•rent apartments. Upon being asked what caused his early rising, he said, " Me want to go out to go beard ship." It appeared that amongst the articles of dress which the pri soner hsu removed, and with %Lich he was ready to bolt, were a shawl and mantle belonging to the barmaid, into whose room he must have gone before she retired to rest. The weights of the Dutch clock had been cut off by the prisoner, who had shown his judgment in the selection of valuable articles, and who, it is calculated, has been in the habit of paying visits of the kind to the owners of houses of public resort. In the hope that others should be able to identify the prisoner as a thief, the Lord Mayor remanded the prisoner till Tuesday. MARKETS. SUGAR.—The avenge price of Sugar, the produce of the British possessions in America, computed from the re turns made in the week ending the 15th Feb., 1853, is 25e. 61d. Sugar the produce of the Mauritius, no return. Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, 25r. Ori. The average price of the two foregoing descriptions of Sugar, jointly, is 255. 41d. BIIIIIITOL, FED. 18. Scott.—The transactions since our last report in West India descriptions have again been small, owing to the very limited supply offering, but prices are fully supported. Br auction, 3,000 mats of Mauritius, and MO boxes Ilavannah (all damaged), found ready buyers at the valuations. The refined market continues without life, and the business is limited to the immediate requirements of the trade. In Rug there is nothing doing. COTTON.—Livenrooi, Fun. 18.—All qualities of American, under middling, having been freely offered, are a point lower, say I-16d, to ed. per lb., during the week. The bett,r sorts of American, as well as other descriptions, remain much as Wore. At the same time that we keep our ground pretty well in prices, we have felt the check which hu been given to our proceedings by the large re ceipts of cotton at the ports of the United States. Iled the receipts, which arc now 471,000 bales in excess, been on the diminishing side, so as to shadow forth a crop of not more than 3,000,000 of bales, such is the confidence arising from our large and increasing cotsumption, that prima would have gone a lit:le further in advance; as it ix, this partial giving way of price, named above, has been tardily con ceded, and both yesterday and to-day the market, though moderate, as to extent of business, shows much steadiness. The Committee of Brokers place fair Uplands. 6d. ; 60.* and Orleans, 61d. 6,770 American, 320 Surat, 190 Egyptimi, are reported to have been taken on speculation; and 2,820 American, 500 Surat, 20 Bahia, and 830 Perham for export. Sales for the week, 39,810 bales. WOOL (ENGLISH AND FOREIGN.)—Lzans, FEB. IB.—ln English wools the demand is about the si.me as lut week, and prices, though unaltered, are firm. In foreign wools more business has been done, the prices correspond ing with those current at the present London auctions. CORN.—CuzweevoßD, Feb. 18.—There was • small supply of Wheat at market to-day, and all the best qualities were readily taken at a slight advance, more particularly red, which realised fully Is. over the prices obtainable last week; white, 50s. to b3s. ; extra, 545.; red, 445. to 465.; extra, 475. Barley also was firm, and for the best qualities high rates were paid, 345. to 37. Beans and all spring corn sold better. LINCOLN, Feb. 18.—Owing to the heavy falls of snow in this neighbourhood, we have had a small attendance at market to-day, the roads being in many instances im passable. Wheat met with a fair demand, at fully last wet k's prices; red, 465. to 495.; white, 545. A good de mand for Barley, and fine samples the turn dearer; 28s. to 365. No change to note in the value of other articles. LIVERPOOL, FEE. 18.—The frost continues, with fins dryirg and healthy winds. The trade since Tuesday has been steady for wheat and flour, both in price and demand, but this demand is loyal or for shipment to Ireland, our current values being too high to attract buyers of any mo ment from the interior. The attendance at our Corn Ex change this morning was slender, and the general demand languid. Holders steadily adhered to the rates as quoted on Tuesday for wheat, flour, and other articles of the trade, and patiently await a good demand, which they anticipate must eome upon us before long. WAKEFIELD, Feb. 18.—We have a fair arrival of grain to report. The general character of the trade throughout the country this week, has shown • decided firmness, and today a fair extent of business is done in Wheat, at the ex treme rates of Friday last. barley is quite as dear. Oats and Shelling move slowly. No variation in Beans, or other articles.
