SOUTH BRA COMPANY. Yesterday a general meeting of the court took place at the South Sea Howe, ea special &Akin. Charles ottanna, 1341., the Nab governor, took the chair. The Guvisueolt said owe of the objects the directors had in convening this special sweeties of the court was, to lay before the proprietors a plan by which the company would still be commuted beneficially for these who might be en gaged in it. • He believed that it had averred to many of the proprietors, se well as Vi the directors, who had given the au)ject groat eoneideration, that the Bluth Sea Com te baring its charter aad capital, might well establish bodes • public body fur the elocution of trusts—the want of which WIN generally felt by the community. Had such • company a character of permanence and security, such as might he given by their character, he had so doubt that the business could be conducted in a profitable manner. The only die culty would be the enormous labour whisk would fall upon thine who had to conduct it. Seek a time might be called a step in the way of )ins tea form. As a chartered body, they had every Woes moot to commence each an undertaking; sad whallever facilities were required to do it he hoped would be sanded by the pverament in the amendment of their shonler. (Hear, hear.) He knew that there were •great number of the proprietors who were for windbag up their affairs and dividing the amiss. (Hear, hear.) Now, the carrying cut of the plan be proposed would not hinder those parties from retiring and taking away their portion of the general smite, leaving those to ociatisue in the company who so approved. This seemed to him the most rational course for them to pursue in we of difference of opinion as to that measure which he th , ught would work most beneficially for the whole body. 'rho directors had nothing in view bet the general interest of the whole of the proe they bad no particular istenst to serve in what they advocated bat which might be equally enjoyed . by the other proprietors. (Hear, beau) This being th eir view, they bad so shaved their proposition as to meet the object of all parties.

The contrast in the ;;;;;;tee of the Downs today aad that which they presented on Wednesday was most 'striking ; instead of the counties. multitudes of spectators who d the broad plain when the Derby was ran, the attendance was almost wholly confined to the amateurs and business men, who mustered again in the enclosure. Of ladies new were to be sten either in the Grand Stand or in private carriages on the course. However, should the glorious weather which has lasted up to the present time continue, we may expect that a brilliant assemblage of ladies will be pre-eht at the Oaks—a race peculiarly de voted to ■nd patronised by the lair sex. The day was much warmer than on the previous day— searcrly • breeze tempered the heat of the sun, which shone with summer fervour until the termination of the last race at five o'clock, when the seerated and dusty vita. tors hastened from the course.

Yesterday, the yearly general meeting of the pro prietor. of this company was held at their otfiees in Win chester-street; GLUNGc RaSi trio, Eaq., was in the chair . The Secretary, Mr. W. Kettlea.ll, then read the fol lowing report Th. announcement made in the last report to the proprietors, will have prepared them to ex pect a less favourable account for the year ending 31st De cember, 1852, than those which, up to the year 1851, it was the good fortune of the directors to lay before them. The results of the untoward circumstances, the particulars of which yeti therin detailed, have of course become mem fest in the tioan.l.l statement of the peat year. The direc tors have applied themselves to the investigation of the ac counts and reports, transmitted by their inspector and maaa gen, with an anxious desire to arrive at a cor rect conclusion as to the actual condition of the bask. It will, however, be evident, front the very nature of bank ing operations, that the rerult can only be an approximate one, calculated with such accuracy as the data furnished to them will permit. The principle on which they have pro ceeded has been to set down as lost whatever has been as sumed to be at present irrecoverable, without regard to what may hereafter be retrievable of such loss; and though the amount is undoubtedly large, relatively to the capital embarked in the undertaking, they feel out • that the pro prietors will approve the course which the court has taken on dealing faithfully with the facts as they presented them selves, and placing the results unreservedly before them. The losses which have been incurred are, for the most part, attributable to that one branch to which particular refer ence was made in the precedingreport ; and, unfortunately, the consequences of the undue expansion of credit therein adverted to have been aggravated by • failure of the staple commodity of the inland, from causes beyond the control of human agency. The prostration and embarrassment occasioned by this unforeseen disaster have necessarily led to a contraet:on of the ordinary basin( so of the beak at that branch, and have at the same time rendered more difficult the adjustment and realisation of subsisting liabilities. The directors, however, conscientiously believe that no efforts have been spared to mitigate the evil, and that the best has been done which the circumstances permit ted. The total amount for which it has been thought right to make provision in the present year's arc -lints, in respect of loans resulting front compositions with insolvent parties in Zante, and from similar failures in one of the Greek agencies, also specially affected by the de struction of the cornet crop, end of a few other trifling losses, has been fined at 11,3931. If, hereafter, it should be felted necessary to make further additions to this sum in respect to accounts not yet liquidated, the amount will probably be inconsiderable, and will fall into the category of ordinary deductions from the profits of the current year. Treat the other establishments of the bank the ac counts are very satisfactory, and generally the business at present transacted seems to be sound and legitimate. This indeed will be apparent from the fact that, notwithstand ing all the adverse cireunuotanees above referred to, the net profits of the bank for 1832, after the deduction of all charges, hot exclusive of the amount of bad debts properly attribute. hie to the previous year, have not been less than 9,4331. Upon • review of all the circumstances the directors consi dered it their duty to reduce the dividend for the last two half y ears to the rate of five per cent. per annum, and it is i their ntention not to raise it beyond that rate until the reserve shall have again attained to • satisfactory state. If the calamity with which it has pleased Providence to visit the currant-growing districts should not recur, there is no reason to doubt that this result would be arrived at in no long period. The directors, however, regret to state that recent aceoustsjustify apprehension that the blight of last year may again make its appearsuce with consequences not less destructive, and it Is obvious that this would have a sensible effect upon the business of the bank, and resider necessary the greatest cau tion and vigilance on the part of the managers. So far as the directors are coneeneed, these requisites will not be visiting ; and they have reason to believe that their oilcan are, e q ually with themselves, impressed with • sense of the responsibility which devolves upon them. Periods of depression are inseparably incident to a commercial and monetary operations and they furnish occasion for increased care and vigilance, bet not for despondence or distrust for the future. The directors hope that, under all cireum stanees, they shall be able to maistain the present rate of dividend, and they confidently anticipate that when the temporary causes, which now affect the prosperity of the bank, shall have Paned away, as, in the ordinary coarse of events, they assuredly will, they shall again be able to lay before their proprietors results as satisfactory as those which attended the first ten years of their operations. It remains only to premed the nasal summary for the year ending 31st December, 1862. The balance at the credit of profit and loss, on the let January, 1852, was 16,2141. lee. 6d. • the net profit of the year, after deducting charges, is 9,433/. 2s. sd. • together snaking 25,6471. 180. 10d.; from which is to be deducted the amount of two half-yearly divi dends—one at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, the other at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, 8,2401. ; bad debts, as above, 11,3931.. Total, 19,6431. Leaving, 6,0041. 18s. 10d. at the credit of profit and loss on the Ist January, 1863." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, mid it contained a true statement °fibs affairs of the bank, and beyond the remarks therein contaimed be did not think be had anything further to comminnieate. He might, how ever' tell them, and he bad no doubt they would hear It with satisfectiou, that up to the present hour the reports of the currant crops were rather ROM favourable. If any gentleman had any remarks to sake or gentians to mak, he (the chairman) would be glad to receive them. Mr. E. MAWMALL ascended the report, which was adopted unanimously. Messrs. Oliver Farrar and John Horatio Lloyd were re elected as directors. moved • vot• of thanks to the chairman aad di:Gator% which haying been mended by Captain Pew, was passed, sad the lusting separated.

EROMPTON HOSPITAL FOR CONSOMPTION.—Yes terd the annual meeting of this charity was h e ld i n the board room; the Hey. Sir Henry Foal,, Bart., occupying the chair. The report stated that during the year 443 in patients had been admitted, of whom 294 had been dis charged relieved, 61 died, and 90 remained under treatment. The out-patients numbered 3,671, making a total of both classes *inn the opening of 23,886. The contrast for erecting the east wing of the hospital had been duly com pleted, and in consequence of the daily increasing sneer of patients waiting for admission, the committee were anxious to expedite the entire completion of the building. The re port announced the gratifying fact that the annual subscrip tions bad increased, and concluded by acknowledging several valuable legacies, including 3001. from the late Col.

This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages for slanderous words used by Mrs. Ruddall, con cerning the plaintiff. It appeared that the plaintiff was a tailor, the defendant a silversmith, and his wife a wardrobe purchaser, living in Reou•streat. A Mrs. Cornish, who was the sister-in-law of Mrs. Ruddall, lodged at the plaintiff's house, and on one occasion when Mn. Raddall went to see Mr. Cornish, she called the plaintiff " • dirty, stinking, drunken, little, tailor ; " and said Ise wu in the habit of going up to see M. Cornish at night. This was the slander complained of. On being crop-exansined the plaintiff admitted that Mr. Cornish had struck him for being in Mrs. Cornish's room. He also stated that Mrs. Cornish had but one room. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case, Mr. Justice Wightman said he thought the plaintiff had better be non suited.—Plaintiff unsuited. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-YESTERDAY. Bann' Ma.

Mr. Cooke opposed. ----- The case was in the list for Monday, when the insolvent did not appear, and it now turned out that his protection was indorsed for a day in June. Mr. Lewis (Lewis and Lewis) ialbrmed the court that sine, Monday an execution had been levied, and the insol vent would have been arrested because he did not appear, although his protection extended to neat mouth. He con sidered that the insolvent had been very harshly treated. Mr. Cooke said he understood that the insolvent was willing to increase his proposal 51. a year mere, which would require him to pay 501. • year Into court for the cre ditors. The insolveat thought that 451. • year, which was his original propoul, out of 1501. a year salary, war so much as he could do with his family. )(r. Lewis said the insolvent had paid 281. into mart for farnitare, sod the first lastahaent of the proposal was due seat aon t b . . . Mr. Commissioner Philips asked the insolvent whether he would pay the 601. a year required ? The insolvent said he would endeavour to do so. The protection was extended. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. Mr. John Fredk. Emmet. of 19, Colchester-street, Tower-hill, was brought up in the custody of Berjt. Knight, sod charged before Alderman Wire with committing wilful end corrupt perjury, in voting at the election for Chamber lain, in Guildhall. Mr. Bennett, of Sise•lane attended for the proissentioo, and stated that the defendant was Iliersed wise 611 set of the 11th of Goo. 1., rap. 18, sections 1 soak Wit tedew• fully swearing hew., a freemen of the City af LIMMINS and a liveryman of the Fishmonger's Compaq, mod hod Masao for 12 calendar months. Samuel Frederick Little, • clerk in the Tema Clerk's office, said he was sworn in at Guildhall for a poll•cierk. The defendant came to his desk at about 2 o'clock yester day, for the pupae, of recording his 'vote. He gave his maw , and address as well r the cotopeaT he belooged to, and the followhig oath was then adminsstered :—You do swear you are a freeman of the City of London and a livery man of your company, and that you have been so for 12 calendar months, ' Alderman Wire then inquired of the defendant if he wished to put any questions to the witness ? Defendant said—No. He admitted having sworn to what hakbeen stated was incorrect, but he did it through igno rance. lie was not aware the period of 12 calendar months was mentioned in the form of oath administered to him. James Ebenezer thunders, jun., said be was a liveryman of the Fishmoogers* Company, and remembered the defendant being admitted a freeman, which he believed was about 12 months ago. Alderman Wire said that had nothing to do with the present case, as a man might be a liveryman of a company without being a freeman of London, and vies versa. Witness said be asked defendant if he had been 12 months a liveryman, and his reply was "be believed not." Witness considered the defendant a highly respectable man and that he bad erred through pure ignorance. Mr. Bennett applied for a remand until after the contest should be settled to enable him to produce the poll-book and to show that the defendant was not a liveryman of 12 months' standing. Alderman Wire said there was enough to hold the defendant to bail. Defendant said be hoped the magistrate did not think It • ease that required bell. Mr. Bennett said be had no wish to press the charge against the defendant; but he was anzicrus to put a stop to a system of gross impersonation, both of the living and the dead that was going on at the present election. Alderman Wire said he bad nothing to do with that mat ter at present, but if • specific case were brought before him of that kind he would deal with it, for he considered much practices a gross abase of a great privilege. A prima facia case bad been made out, and it therefore rested with the prosecution as to the question of bail. Mr. Bennett said he was willing to believe the defendaut had inadvertently committed himself, and would therefore be satisfied with his own recognisance* to appear and answer the charge. The defendant was then remanded for a week, and ad mitted to bail in his ma tecognisances in 401. Shortly after the above ease was disposed of, another of • very flagrant nature was brought in. Lawrence Shaw, described in the poliee-sheet as a clerk, residing at 32, Hatfield street, Blackfriars-road, was placed at the bar charged with wilful and corrupt perjury, Was ' mach as he declared upon oath that he was Matthew Cart wright, of 31, South Villas, Wandsworth-road, and also a liveryman of the Girdlers' Company, in which name and capacity be voted. Mr. Bennett attended to prosecute. The poll clerk at No. 10 desk said the prisoner tendered himself to vote at about hall-past two o'clock yesterday. The oath mentioned in the last case was administered to him, and he then swore his name was Matthew Cartwright, and that he was a live ry man of the Girdlers' Company. His vote was then recorded, but being recognised by some per sons present, he was immediately given into custody. Police-constable Curtis, 166, said he was in front of the bastion, and took the prisoner into elated) , At the sta tion he was searched, and while there he tore up • card, The officer picked up the pieces, and on joining them be traced the name and address of the party the prisoner had represented himself to be. The prisoner was remanded, and his own recognisance. in 401. and one surety in 201. were accepted for his appear ance. WOIRSHIP-STRERT. Mr. George Mew Headman, a solicitor, residing In Nichols-square, Hackaey-read, was brought up upon • warrant before Mr. Hammitt, charged with having deserted his wife and seven children, who had sines burials charge able to the perish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch. The defendant, about 14 months' since, formed an u quaintanoe with an actress at a minor theatre, and soon afterwards deserted his wife and children. The actress, it was asurtainrd, was in the habit of wearing the gold watch and chain which had been taken frui the wife. The defendant soon came to ruin and his family to the parish. Mr. Hammill said that he considered it to be a very gross ease, and he bad no hesitation in ordering the defendant to be committed for three months to the House of Correction. SOUTHWARK. Clarissa Hook, a young ViiiiWn wearing hill naval uniform, with gold epaulettes, wss charged with being drunk and disorderly. A policemen had found the prisoner that morning, about four o'clock, in Newington Causeway, the centre of a crowd whom she wu defying, as she flourished • shilclagh. As the housekeepers were throwing up their windows to kern why thcy were disquieted witness took the defendant into custody. The defendant, who in the dock hung down het head made the expected excuse. Bhe had been to the masque rade, and the excitement of the glass and the dance had been two much for her. _ She wu discharged with a caution. THAMES. Mr. Ingham, the presitgogmagi'etrats, was engaged a second time for several hours in the investigation of a com plaint made by a poor woman named Honors Jenoett, against four police-constables of the H division, named Hawke*, Middleditch, Whitbread, and Pearce, far moulting and abusing her on the night of Saturday, the 14th instant, just after 12 o'clock, in front of, and in the Leman-street station-Luna, Whitecb■pel. The ow spinet Hawke. for assaulting and injuring the woman in the oration-bowel, where she went to seek redress after • violent outrage com mitted upon her outside, was heard on Saturday last, and terminated in the acquittal of the de fendant, the magistrate on the conflicting testi mony then given. not having been quite satisfied of hi' identity. Middleditch left the force and absconded directly after the transaction, and has not since been heard of. The case against William Whitbread, 44 H, for using abusive language to the complainant, and against James William Pearce, 97 H, for assaulting her, was appointed to be heard yesterday. The came against Whitbread for making use of abusive and threatening language to the complainant, was first gone into. Mr. Ingham summed up the evidence at great length, and after regretting that the poor woman had been sub jected to so much insult and injury, said she was consistent in all her statements, and had spoken quite positively to Hswkes, who ho had acquitted, but had all along sworn most positively to Whitbread, who was one of the three men linked together arm in arm, and as the person who made use of the offensive expression. It appeared to him that in all the more importar.t and material particulars, the woman's evidence that day was the same as the two statements she had made to the inspectors. Ile was quite satisfied the defendant was the man—the woman took his number at the time, and he entered the station-house on his own showing just after twelve. lie should therefore feel it his duty to convict the defendant. It was quite clear the violent blow spoken of was inflicted by the middle man of the three, and that it was an act in which Whitbread did not participate. The defendant's misconduct amounted to this, that he adopted a statement made by another man respecting a married woman of good character, and if it was used by any other person under such circum stances he should Whet only a nominal fine ; but it was peculiarly incumbent on • police constable, who interposed and took others into custody for using improper language, not to give utterance to violent and offensive expressaions. He therefore fined the prisoner 10s. and 2s. costs, or seven days' imprisonment. The case against James Waiians Pearce, No. 97 H, was then called upon, and he eou:d not be found. Mr. Kendall, inspector of the II division. was sent after him, while the magistrate heard • charge of felony and some common lodging-house summonses, and on his return an hour after wards said that he had sought for him, but could not discover where he was, and had reason to believe he had absconded. The magistrate granted a warrant for his apprehension. MARKETS. THE IRON TRADE. WOLVIIRRANII7O74,PI;iIS.LII;gIo'nt spread over the iron trade last week has, we regret to state, not only not been dispelled bat eubeequent eventshave tended to increase it; this reaction is of cosine entirely attributable to the wild speculations which closed in the last year, and ushered in the new one with even wilder anticipations of Stafford shire bars reaching 141. a ton ; that illusion has, however, been long "left dispelled ; the serious cheek already felt— the embarrassments already disclosed, and the doubt which exists as to how far other and innocent parties may be in volved in and suffer front these disasters has filled with dis may all who are interested or concerned in the trade. There was an unusual number of the ironmasten in town to-day, but business seemed to be entirely at a stand, conversation turning almost entirely on the consequences of the past, scarcely a thought being bestowed on future engagements. The facts disclosed at the meeting of Mr. Attwood's cre ditors are regarded as anything but satisfactory, as indeed might be expected with an estate of half a million and a surplus on paper of only twenty thousand pounds. It is quite possible that the estate may realise 20s. in the pound, and Indeed under any circumstances, looking to the quar ters where the lees would fall, the amount as regards Staf fordshire will be may borne ; but the fact itself of this gentleman's embarrassment and the disperull of his splendid fortune is one of the most melancholy on record. We be. , lieve that Mr. Attwood received from the B • h Iron Company, first and last, something like 570,0001. ; surely nothing but the greediest spirit of gain can have prompted him in the evening of his life to imperil his splendid fortune in speculation so vast, and so rashly as he baa embarked in it. The " folly and fraud" referred to by Lord Brougham in his celebrated judgment in " Small and A•twood's " case have both paid a penalty at last, the magnificent fortune of these litigants —so long in the balance—now won now lost—has finally pared from the hands of both the parties in this memorable suit. An on dir is afloat that Mr. Attwood's acceptances have changed bands at less than 20s. in the pound. Another failure in the iron trade—that of Mr. Samuel Griffith,, of this town—has already been briefly noticed in the Daily News; and we are concerned to state that from the information which has reached us, this failure will net be followed by much sympathy for the party principally interested. With out say disposition to rip up old storied, we cannot refrain from noticing that Mr. Griffiths was a bankrupt, and that his certificate was suspended for many months, no longer since than 1846. He has now managed to contract new liabilities amounting to the enormous sum of 40,0001. At the meeting of erediton, the beat face was put on the matter no doubt, but we are creditably informed that the good debts will very little exceed 5,000/. There are other un pleasant rumours afloat in reference to this matter, but as steps are being taken to wind up the eoscernore abst ain from entering into further particulars at present. A few months will possibly be e ff ective in restoring the Iron trade to something like a healthy state. It is proper to state, however, that the great ironmsaters did, in the midst of their excitement, their best to cheek speculation and to keep down extravagant advances ; bat, as has been truly said, " the control of the trade was taken out of the hands of thous to whom it legitimately appertained, and the par ties were left with no alternative but to act on the defen sive." We are glad to state, in addition to this, that none of the large booms are losers, neither are they con sumed in the recent failures. BIRMINGHAM, MAX 26.—There MRS a large attendance of the iroamasten here to-day, but no business was tran sacted on 'Change. It is now evened that pig iron is posi tively ado in the starker. COTTON.—LtynarooL, MAT 26.—The market closed tamely, yet steadily ; the only alteration fiat* Friday in the currency being that buyers have the advantage in cotton from 60. to 6td per lb., in communee of more being offered for sale. The transactions to-day amounted to 7,000 bales, end comprise 6,000 American (600 on speculati on ) ; 1,000 Perna. and Mannham, 60. to 7d. (600 for export ;; 100 Bahia, 81d. ; 300 Egyptian, 60. to Bd. ; 600 Surat:, 31d. to 41.1. MANCHESTER, MAT 26.—The operatives have resumed work more punctually than we. expected, and, with the exception of one or two districts where dispates about wages are under negotiation, all the mills are running ; yet the demand is brisk, and !appears to be rather more than equal to the production. The market has been very strong to-day, and buyers have had ditliculty in many eases in placing orders, even at a slight advance in prices. Spinners and maoufacturen generally are fully employed, and some of the former have contrasts on hand which will keep them busy for some months to come. WOOL.—BRADPOID, May 26.—The opening markets of Doncaster and York give an impression that at leut for a period Wools are to be dear, and u the supply is not abundant here, nor is there any disposition from the country dealers to allow their stocks here held on consignment to be sold at easier rates, the business doing is very inconsider able. Neils and brokes are firm, with a small supply in stock.—Bredfor Observer. MANUFACTURES. B/LAD/01M, May 28.—Yarns: For some time the spinners have been working on cheaper bought Wools than can be had at the prices now demanded. ' Yarns beer no proportion to their lost, and the spinners are very firm in their prices, which are not freely met by the buyers, especially for Lanesabire, as the prices of moneselin de lain are too low, and their manufactures are to some extent supported by cotton.—Pieces: The deliveries for a long time have been considerable to the mer chants, of goods made from cheap-bought yarns. The Question now is, what Is to be the upshot. Early placed Orders hove militated much to the prejudice of the manu facturers, and act u a barrier to advanced priers. It is not improbable the dear Wool will eau' a suspension of ma chinery, for the active consumption will maintain its price, and every stage or process towards manufacture makes it wqrse till higher prices an be realised. Coburga sad Or leans have been laid in at ruinous price, to the manufac turer. Mixtures for the spring have not been so active, and there are very few making, as no class is se dear to teaks.—Bradford Observer. CORN.-Bunstxo ir AM, MAT 26.-At Gloucester market, on the 21st, the wheat trade ruled dull, and lower prices were in some instances submitted ter for secondary qualities; at Worcester, same day, the currency of the previous week was firmly maintained ou all descriptions. Barley in limited request, but fully as dear ; oats rather higher; beans held for 6d. to Is. per quarter more money ; peas very dull. During the present week, and at Wolverhampton yesterday, previous rates have been obtained for the wheat which has changed hands ; barley the turn dearer ; oats firm, but no advance can be made; beans realise quite as much money ; we have very little demand for peas. At this day's market, the supply of wheat from the farmers was very short, and fresh English realised Is. psr quarter advance, Whilst the turn on all other kinds was in favour of the seller; barley held for rather mare money ; oats fully as dear ; beans less in request, but no lower; peas neglected. MILISTOL, MAT 26.-We have had to-day much about an average supply of English wheat. The demand has been steady but not active, and sellers bold with more firmness than has been manifested for some weeks past. This remark will is all material respects apply to the better qualities of foreign, values of which are also firm. Inferior qualities of foreign do not meet with much insuiry, and little or no trade is doing in them. Flour participates in the improved feeling showed towards prime qualify wheats, and although there has been no quotable improvement on the values of this day se'nnight, the tendency is towards an advance. Beans meet with a tolerably attire inquiry, and the stocks not being heavy, prices are somewhat in favour of the seller. We have a fair consumptive demand for eats at about the currencies of this day ee'nnight.- The prices were as follows: English wheat, 38s. to 465. per imperial quarter; English red, -a. to -5. per ditto; foreign white, 48s. to 525. per 480Ibs. ; foreign red, extra fine qualities, 455. to 486.04. per ditto; fine qualities, 41s. to 435. per ditto; ordinary qualities, 365. to 40s. per ditto; foreign hard, 351. to 375. per ditto; English seconds flour, 31s. to 345. per seek ; United State% &c., sweet, 225. 6d. to 245. per barrel ; English malting barley, 225. to 235. per imperial quarter; English and foreign grinding ditto, 235.

Bd.; oats, 19s. Bd. ; barley, 31s. 4d. Devizes, May 2G.—We had a very small supply of Wheat and a large attendance of buyers; this caused the trade to rule brisk, and notwithstanding the inferior T. m _ lity of the new NVheat .5 complete clearance was early made, generally at an advance of fully Is. per qr., and i n some instances of from Is. to 2 s . p er qr. The malting son_ son tying now completely over, there were only a few sam ples of grinding Barley, which sold at about last week's prices. Oats and Beans were in better demand. Peas nominal. Wheat, white, 535. per qr. ; best red, 50 s. tp 635. ; middling, 38s. to 50s. ; inferior, 3ls. to 31s. Barley, 265. to 31s. Oats, 195. to 255. Beans, 375. to 435. l'ess 345. to 435. Flour, fine, per sack, 335. to 335.; seco n d s. 30s. to 345. NEWBURY, May 26.—Tbe quantity of Wheat on otter continues large. Sellers would nut make a concession in price; the consequence was a dull trade, and a considerable quantity remains unsold. All descriptions of spring cosa maintained their value, but only a retail trade for anything. Wheat, 43e. 10d. per qr. Barley, 274. Id. Oats, 2lis. Beans, 395. 3d. UxiiiiiDGE, May 26.—The trade to-day is dull, and Last week's prices are hardly maintained. The supply of IVheat is sot large, the average value 46s per qr. Beam are scarce, and Is. per qr.L,dearcr. Barley and Oats unaltered in value. GLASGOW, May 25.—With the exception of quar ters of Wheat from Denmark and hamburg, our arrivals were composed of Egyptian and other infe rior qualities. The Beans came from Egypt and the Rye from Turkey. Of Flour and other articles the supplies are very small. The weather continued dry and parching through the week, and all spring sown corn and grass lands are much in want of rain. Wheat met an im• proved demand at the close of the week, and the scarcity of good fresh qualities enabled sellers to obtain an advance of Gd. per boll. Rather higher prices were asked for Oats and Oatmeal, and some Egyptian Beans were taken to hold over. Barley and other articles remained unaltered in value. This day's market was rather thinly attended, and business in Wheat was limited fur the most part to retail buyers, at the above-noted advance, which, however, was fully established. In Flour no change. Oats, 3d. t o ag . per boll d , and previous rates were rather exceeded for Oatmeal. Feeding Beans being held for an advance, sales were checked. No alteration as respects grinding de scriptions. Little passing in Barley. CATTLE.—Saaroms, May 2.5.—We had a very Food supply of Beasts to-day, and, fur the season, of good quality. Sheep only in moderate supply, but the quaNty fair. The attendance was stood, and may be said weeny to increase. Prime Beef realised from did. to 6}l. Mutton. 6d. to 7d. per lb., but little unsold. SOUTHALL, May 25.—We cannot - note any alteration from last week's rates. Beef made from 'es. to 4.. 64, Mutton, 3s. 10d. to fis 4d. Lamb, 455. 6d. to 6s. 6d. Veal. 41. to 51.

WAKIFIELD, May 25.—The supply at our market WAS very large today, and the demand very good, there being 900 Beasts and 6,500 Sheep an :l Lambs. Buyer‘ numerous, add prices ruled as follows Beef, 6s 9d. to 71. 3d. per 14 lbs. ; Mutton, 6d. to 6td. per lb. ; Lamb, Bid. to NI. per lb. We had a large show of Pigs, which met with ready sale.
