From inquutes, we are enabled to state that the learned gentleman is convalescent. Accounts ere said to have reached town from Dub lin, bringing the result of the Galway election up to the close of the poll on Tuesday . evening, at which tuns the numbers stood thus, via.: Monahan, 508 ; 071sherty, 501; being a majority of 7 in favour of the Solicitor-General. The official declaration would fie he made till the hileirieg gay, se take high sheri ff 's atieesor had still to determine eleven disputed votes, tendered for Mr. O'llaherty, and two for Mr. Mona han. The return of the Solicitor-General was con sidered safe. Our foreign express arrived this morning. The Paris journals of Wednesday continue to be cecupied with polemics of the Guizot-Normanby affair ; and same of them, La Presse for example, must be allowed the credit of some ability in en venoming the quarrel. The latter journal directly charges the British ambassador with communicating to Le Cbastitutionnel, the organ of M. Thiers, his de spatch to Lord Palmerston of the 23,h of September, three months before the Secretary for Foreign Affairs laid that despatch before the British parliament; in other words, with such a flagrant violation of duty as would expose the ambas sad or to an ignominons dismissal from office, and a future ex elusion from all public employment. Yet this charge is recklessly made by a journal which is well known to be in the confidence of M. Guizot and the court. The reception of Count St. Aulaire and M. Jarnac at the levee, and the royal invitation to dinner ftt the palace on Sunday, with their sub-e -spent visit to the soiree at Lord and Lady Palmerston's, is afehe in a conspicuous manner, with large leader type and leads by the Journal des Debate, which adopts the pacific tone. Nothing can be more convenient than the relations which are established in Paris between the government and the press. The court and cabinet have different organs which are used to work out the name or different purposes at the same time by different means. Thus the Davits is coaxing and conciliatory towards England, while La Presse is minatory and scurrilous. 'The one recom- ' mends by all means the re-establishment of the English alliance, while the other denounces it and counsels northern friendships or isolated independ mice ; yet both these organs are cherished in the Hotel des Capucines and share the smiles of the Tuileries. PARIS BOURSE, FEB. 17.—The news that Count St. Aulaire was present at a dinner at the Palace, in London, and at Lord Palmerston's soirh, caused a favourable movement on the Paris Bourse, the funds, public securities, and railway shares, all having risen. The Threes rose 40c. The Fives rose 23c., closing at 118.80. __ ler I Ter &emus. 1161.1115, P... 17. Mau. 0,1„... rout . LOIN. Ci..b.g. I Pg.

The Gazette contains a royal decree, combining the ministry of the Colonies with that of the Interior, which is in future to be called Ministry of the King dom. Another decree organises the ministries of Commerce, of Instruction, and of Public Works. This decree divides the ministry into four sections, namely, that of Commerce, of Public Instruction, of Public Works, and of Agriculture. All the administrative authorities which, up to the prevent, were subordinate to the ministry of the Interior, are, in future, to be dependent on the new ministries of Commerce, of In struction, and of Public Works. A letter from Madrid announces that "At twelve o'clock this day the marriage of H.R.H. the Infants, daughter of the Infante Don Francisco de Paula, with the eldest won of the Count d'Altamira, was celebrated in the palace. The Chamber of Deputies assembled on the 10th, and heard read the report of the com mittee on the address. This report is in accordance with ministerial views, and is based on the principles of the Moderado party. It contains some praises on the order introduced in the administration of the Finances. M. Roe de Olano and M. Benavides a paragraph relative to the expedition O ' f m ren e eral Flores. The paragraph relative to the royal marriages contains the expression of a formal and unreserved approbation. The debates will be commenced immediately. After the reading of the draft of the address, M. Mendizabal made some observations in support of a demand for the production of financial documents. The Ministers of Justice, Finance, the Interior, and Public Instruction, were present at the sitting." On the 10th the project of address in reply to the royal speech was read. One of the features of this document is an extreme reserve. Some persons ex pressed a regret that an amnesty on a large scale was not announced, and the re-establishment of trial by jury in affairs of the press. The discussion was not to take place till the Thurs day : it was expected to be animated. There was a report that General de la Concha was to be appointed general-in-chief of the army of obser vation on the frontier of Portugal. Gen. Saldanha had established hie head-quarters at Agneda. Colonel Sole was in pursuit of the Miguelite Gene ral Povoas, who was accompanied by the famous Juan Maria d'Abren. The Viscounts of Setutal and latremoz kept their position in the province of the Alentejo. The Duke of Terceira was still a prisoner at Foz. The Marquis of Loull. proposed to the duke to demand to be exchanged against General Bomfin. The Duke de Terceira replied with dignity that a faithful and devoted soldier of the Queen could not be ex thanged against a man who had repaid with ingrati tude the favours of his sovereign. • v..... rt. 11---vb... n. am per Ceoto . 201, Pl,* at .

It was understood that the Porte had re ceived inportant dispatches from Persia, announcing the success of British intervention, Colonel Shed having at length succeeded in inducing the Shah to forego his projected expedition against the Turkish provinces. The Divan was continuing to advance !measures of civilisation and internal reform, having immediate reference to a more equitable system el bastion, the extended education of the people, Led the better security of life and property by the rigo rous punishment of all criminals. In furtherance of this latter project the foreign ambassadors had bola induced, at the suggestion of the English minister, to abandon the privilege they heretofore claimed, of protecting offenders who may happen to be the sub ject of the countries they represent. These parties are henceforth to be subject to the same laws as affect native subjects of the Porte, except only where the offences charged happen to be of a political character. In consequence of abundance having again manifested itself in the Sandjak, the order prohibiting the ex portation of corn from Bigha had been recalled.—An alarming fire occurred at Constantinople, on the even ing of the 26th. It commenced at Pera, close by the Italian Opera House, and, having spread both to the right and left, about eighty houses were consumed before it was extinguished. The English embassy was at one time in very great danger, all the houses, for a large space in front of it, having become a prey to the flames. The Opera House, and the line of building connected with it towards the palace, were also quickly burnt down, but an Armenian church of stone stopped the tire from proceeding further in that direction, and saved the embassy on that side. Letters from Mosul state that cholera had ra vaged the city and neighbourhood for twenty days, carrying off no fewer than 3,000 persons.

By means of the weeku of debase constructed at Punavia, our troops, now freer in their marrements, kept the Indians, who have dissented from Ffelleil protection, confined to the valleys, and prevented them from assuming the offensive. The communications between Pepsin and our different posts were fully secured. Our native allies had effected several in cursions into the valleys, and taken about 6A prisoners, amongst whom were four due& the principal chief, who had been the first to give the signal of defection to the pro tectorate, was one of the captive.; most of the latter, how ever, having made their su bm ission, were set at liberty. The governor reckoned on the moral impression which the pre sence of the reinforoerrents he had called for was likely to produce, being convinced that all resistance would speedily cease the moment the revolters perceived its Motility. Re else sew, is the arrival of the expeditionary troops, the great advantage of relieving the chicle who had remained faithful to the protectorate dell apprehension for the future." SOUTBAMFrOIt, FEB. 18.—The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamsship Madrid, Captain Weeks, sailed this afternoon at 3 o'clock, with the usual mails, in eharge of the Admiralty agent, Lieut. Smythe, R.N. The Madrid takes out only eight passengers (including Count Alexander Memadorff), with a full cargo of bee goods. TRE HEREFORD STEEPLE CHASE. This steeple chase took place yesterday, and was won by Mr. Tilbury'sProfligate, Bradley beating Tamworth, Little Tommy, and eight others. An excellent race, won by half a length. Little Tommy was beat for second place in the post. Bru nette did not start. HLECTORAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND. KENT. It would be difficult to imagine a district:to which the circumstances of geographial site, boundaries, and con nexions, can be calculated to impart more important advan tages than that southern county of Britain which once farmed the antient kingdom of Kent. Briton and Roman, Saxon, Dane, and Norman, have regarded it with equal affection. It had been, therefore, through a long succession of ages, before the consolidation of the monarchy under the vigorous William 1., the prize that its primitive invaders most eagerly contended fur, and most assiduously endeavoured to improve . Rich, how ever, as it is in all historical associations connected with its first popular establishments and solemn councils, as the school successively of Druidical, Se mdinavian, and Cimbric lore, as the first and almost Apostolic seat of Christianity in this empire, as one of the first organised kingdoms of western Europe, as the great theatre of our Saxon and our Norman chivalry ; it is in no aspect more entitled to interest our respect and attention, than as the cradle of our parliamentary legislation. Among all the early Saxon princes who convened most often, and com muned with, their "Wittenagemote," touching the promul gation and maintenance of " wise laws and good customs," none have earned a better title to the gratitude of posterity, than the kings of Kent. The situation of their Wavle= facilitated the wide diffusion of their institutions out all the members of the heptarchy. Bounded on on t atell the sea,—en another, its inland boundaries united those of Surrey and Sussex, whilst from Middlesex and loan it was separated only by the Thames : its modern limbs angina, in the main, to these. On the north it has the estuary of the Thames ; on the east it has the German omen and the Straits of Dover ; on the south the county of Sasses; on the west that of Surrey. Its dimensions may be roughly stated at 60 miles by nearly 40. But • lime drawn from its point of contact with suburban London to the North Foreland would extend 64 miles, whereu a limel drum from the point of its junction with Surrey and Sue- sex would reach only 24 miles. This irregular figure, how ever, includes an estimated area of 1,557 square miles, or about 900,000 acres. This superecies, although formerly much occupied by forest and woodland, and still thickly clothed in some districts with timber, appears to have been always well peopled. In this latter respect it now ranks as the sixth of the English counties, as in size it is the Math. It has been anciently divided into the five lathes of Sutton-at-Hone, Aylesford, Serge, St. Augustino,_ sod Shepway. These lathes, especially that of Sutton-at-Hese, were subdivided into several hundreds, the whole comprising two cities, two boroughs, and three of the Cinque Porte, re turning members to parliament; with 22 market towns. Since the Reform Act, the county has been divided into two sections, western and canteen, for its parliamentary elections. The whole representation of the counts, its boroughs, &c., included, is now as follows: for each of its two divisions, two members ; for the cities of Rochester and Canterbury, two .tech; for the boroughs of Maidstone and Greenwich, two each; for the borough of Chatham, one ; for the Cinque Ports, oae for Hythe, and two each for Dover and flemdwich ; in all, eighteen members. Before we pro mid to the parliamentary history of Kent, let us con- Mier one accident in its institutions which may not a Hale lieu contributed to determine its course and character. The spirit and independence of its yeomanry are still tradi tional themes in British story, and we have the testimony of authentic records for the determination with which they extorted from the Conqueror, on his march from Hastings lin the full tide of victory, a memorable recognition of their ancient liberties and customs. Among the hereditary laws, , so to call them, which were thus confirmed, was the law of ' gavel-kind" (originally French), on which, front its im portant bearing on the future independence of their exercise of the electoral franchise in returning members to pulls, ment, it here seems requisite to offer a few words. By this law, all the sons partake in equal share the fortune of the father ; and it is subject to or modified by these " customs of Kent." The husband, after the wife's death, enjoys, by the courtesy, a moiety of her fortune, writ he marries again, whether he had ism by her or not. The wife, after death of the husband, has for her dower, so long as she shall continue un married and in chastity, a moiety of his lands. The tenant of gavel-kind land continues in wardship one year longer then he would under the common law, namely, till he is fifteen, at which age he is competent to alienate his estate l feoffment. All the sons alike succeeding to lands in gave 7- kind, in equal portions, failing sons, the same right is in the daughters. If a tenant of lands, thus held, commit • felony, and submit to judgment of law, such lands are not forfeited, nor escheat to the king, or other lord of whom I they be so holden in gavel-kind. The tenant had a power of devising such lands, or his interest therein, by will, long before the general statute of wills, 32 lien. V 111., was made. These are the more important peculiarities of a law whose relative pretensions to national adoption, as compared with those of our prevailing principle of primogeniture, we have no intention, in this plus, either to advocate or dispute. But we entertain a strong opinion that it was its high popularity with the " men of Kent " which, in the eleventh century, elicited from them that bold demonstration against the Conqueror, and those signal re sults we have alluded to ; and that through seven successive centuries has animated the Kentish freeholder with a de gree of self confidence and self-respect which has enabled him to reject in the exercise of his franchise those influ ences of authority and interest which elsewhere have been so generally succumbed to ; for it is certain that in few con stituencies have the majority been more constantly expand to the approaches of bribery or corruption. By few, indeed, have their demoralising agencies been more habitually re pudiated. P.ior to the Reform Bill, there is no doubt that every government for the time being attempted to exercise an undue and even direct influence on elections for this shire. Besides the efforts of the government, the dm* which pawned two cathedrals in the county and the mil. episcopal see, whose primate numbered 149 lithos is his patronage, whilst his diocese of Rochester relies& It --set in motion its great landlord power to MINS As candidates it might happen to favour. Then, the Wm peg landowners—peers and commoners—were ;Aoudad la pre portion to their number, end to the favour whisk Lest has always found as • residence for those who partial ate in the business of legislation. Still, the result of the ecausty elec tions his generally been the fair representation of the un biassed wishes of the electors Throughout Kent, the Crown and the Church have always much to give away in the bounties of official patronage, or otherwise. Accordingly, if neither of those dispensers of good things was emi nently successful with the electors for the county, they fared better in their designs on the inden dente of Canterbury and Rochester, of Maidstone, Chat ham, Queenborough, and the Cinque Ports, including the representatives of the boroughs of New Romney, since withdrawn, with Queenborough, and one member for Hythe, into that limbo of rotten boroughs, "Schedule A." It is matter of course, that the great na tional works connected with our dock-yards, arsenals, military and naval depots and barracks, and reven ue esta blishments so numerous in this county, should have invested the heads of the Admiralty, Ordnance, and fiscal branches of the government with ample opportunities of controlling the electoral returns for places where the action of their executive was immediate and so sensibly felt. Yet a few freeholder have, from time to time, established themselves in this anintry whine mass of fortunes have been originally derived fame the ranks of shipwrights, builders, or minters, and ether ertilleers whom we have described, in a former paper se • 'metropolitan colony largely settled in the enburbe of the ailispgis, but out of Middlesex, and at points where it is egnithaWille• with the boundaries of this and the other coon** we have nerd.

The sth aof parliamentary representation secured °4 -!v-e -e-'1 ~,.,/Z t iTortSs N0.148.] LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, FE8.19,1847. to Kent by the Reform Bill, has gone a good way to remove this liability. In extinguishing the franchise of Queens berough, the government of 1832 may be said to have volun tsrily sacrificed one pocket member, or indeed, two. Fee although between 1825 and 1827, the independence of Queenborough of the ordnance bread was twice vindicated by the spirited literality of the late Mr. Capel, who, ou one occasion, signally defeated the Master General's two no minee, Lord Downes; yet was it, generally !peaking, a close " stall" of the minister, who maiaiged to evoke from it two supporters. If Hythe still retain one member, in place of two, it has been made to abandon New Romney, with its tere—both pledged good men and true to every government. The pomible influence from the same quarter, which may shape the return of one member out of the two for Sand wich, and even that of the one for Chatham is at least neutralized by the accession which the pop ular cause is sure at all times to realise on the two members to be returned on the new franchise at Greenwich. But we will not be tempted to any further notice of the borough representation for this county beyond this glance at their action on that of the shire. If Kent may vie with the oldest of our counties or boroughs in the antiquity of its representation in parliament, it would appear, as we have remarked, to have well merited the honour by the way in which its has exercised its fran chise. Down to a still recent period, the Journals of the House of Commons are almost one unbroken blank as to any entries of disputed returns fir this noble county. In 1796, the return of Sit William Geary, Bart., wee peti tioned against by certain freeholders, but the committi e to whom this petition was referred found that Sir William was duly elected. The same gentleman sat for Kent in that parliament, and in those of 1802 and 1812. His son, the present Sir W. Geary, R.N., unsucessisfully onitheed the same seat at the general election of 1832, but succeeded in that of 1836. But government internee, sat that et its partizans, sided by the whole power of the church in pore& bus, and a large majority of the nobility of the county, has seldom been more strenuously exerted or signally defeated, than in the four triumphant returns, to as many successive parliaments, of the popular candidate of the day—Mr. Filmier lioneywoed. When, in a future paper, we shall give a succinct summary of some of these contests, our readers will appreciate the nature of the battle which the constituency are to fight in a country where they have to meet, and too often to contend, with such great landowners and landlords as the noble houses of Dorset, Abergavenny, Plymouth, Camden, Amherst, Ayleeford, Darnley, Cornwallis, Sydney, Ashburten,Carrington, Cowper, Harris, Granville, Romney, Says and Sete, Stanhope, Winchilsea, and Wynford. Be sides these there are Bridges, Dyke, Daring, Croft, Har ding., Colobrooke, Fulmer, Antrobus, (all baronets). And in addition to the ecclesiastical landlords, there are commoners whose efforts ere powerful to return a candidate, in such families as those of Austen, Baring, Deedes, Hodges, Wells, Plemptre, &c., lie. We are disposed to think, for the mamas.e have hinted at above, that the framers of the Re form Act dealt liberally with the principles of popular election in adapting their scheme for the representation of Kent to the wants of a constituency, large bodies of whom, it was to be assumed beforehand, must be considerably in fluenced by the wishes of the government of the atty. Bu. if there be little reason to apprehend the revival of that inordinate power which the minister of the crown could ens exercise over the expression of public opinion at elections for this county, great vigilance must be exereis, d to prevent its resuscitation under another form. The interested sad venal votes whichDowning-stre et orWhitehall might once command, by reason of the patronage an official favours to be distri buted from those quarters, Wily by possibility be largely practised on by a less tangible and less suspected machinery. Railroad directions, among which anything like unanimity in favour of, or opposition to, certain candidates tor a county through which their lines run and their own private proper ties are situate, may a. ud up or withb.sld whole centenaries of voters by a little clever =tenement and that adroit freemasonry which makes the wishes of employers so easily patent to the employed. Contractors for works, or sup lie , , or labour in these vast undertakings may be as efficiently appealed to, and made to understand the short alter. native which would the only middle part remaining to them beteften compliance and refusal, as favoured ship builders, timber-dealers, hemp-importers, equipment-manu facturers, &c., under the old regime of official or government ri tampeng. The danger, such as it is, of this direct idle ence, must be largely left to those on whom it nay be at. tempted to deal with. They mast themselves maintain what they should feel it so proud a privilege to possess. The only chance of success that seems to attach to any sort of appeal (and it will really be derogatory to their rights to make one) lies, not so much in the means of bringing their case before large proprietary meetings—which assemble at remote periods, end would be indisposed to entertain any other but their own practical business—as in the peril under which any one director must feel that would take the initiative in a pro ceeding that, once made public, would surely provoke the indignant protest of every other railway board in the king dom. We may thus hope to escape, through the mutual jealousies that such bodies would feel of one another, an • abuse of a patronage that all men whe posse,* it arc but too prone to indulge is. But the evil itself, if it be even im probable, is sufficiently possible to claim a timely and pre cautionary consideration. The population of Kent was, in the following years, re spectively as follows t —ln 1801, it was 307,683; in 1811, 373,046; in 1821, it had grown to 426,016. In the he ginning of 1845 it was 548,161. In 1841, the amount of its rate to poor relief was 272,5071., levied on real property, , tithes, Are. This rate, in 1806, at se. 21d. in the pound, , amounted to 255,452/. ; an enormous sum, when the whole assessment under the property-tax fur the county was but 3,164,6451., with land at its maximum value. Estimated by the same criterion, the present assessment, under a similar property-tax, would be increased by only seven and-a-half , per cent. But this is highly improbable. At the last gene , ral election, in 1841, Sir E. Knatchbuil, Bart., and Mr. Plumptre were returned for the east division without a con , test. In February, 1845, on Sir E. Knatchbub's aeeepting • the Chiltern Hundreds, Mr. Deedes was elected in kis room without opposition. At the same general election, Viscount Marsham and Sir Edmund Filmer, Bert., were returned for . the west division without contest. But Lord Marsham suc ceeding to his father's peerage, as Earl of Romney, in April, 1845, Col. Austen was elected in his stead, without opposi tion. Registered voters for East Kent, in 1841, were 7,344 ; in 1846, 7,251. In West Kent they were, in the former year, 8,651 ; in the latter, 9,271. OA. S. of England, 2321 Grad Welters. 1231 3 Do.

Foreign Wheat was in demand for shipment to Ireland, and some purchases were also reported to have been made for French account. During the week several sales have been made of Lincolnshire Wheat for export to that country: Barley sold slowly at late rates. The trade in Oats was quite aretail one, and the dealers and consumers were enabled to supply their wants on fully as good terms as was prac ticable on Monday. Beans and Peas without alteration.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Half-past Two.—The improvement in the French funds brought by the mail from Paris this morning, and the apparent animation of the Bourn there, had a favourable influence upon the stock-market here. Consols opened at 911 to 1, which were equal to an advance of I per cent. upon the last quotations of yes'erday. They subsequently became 911 buyers, were called 911 to 4, when all at once several sellers came forward, and, such was the effect,that prices rapidly went down to 901 to 1. The fact of such a decline bears sufficient testimony to the sus-eptible state of the market, and to the prevalence of the opinion among speculators and jobbers that circumstances are not propitious, nor pro spectively promising, for a well sustained improvement in funded values. It will be seen that almost every advance is taken advantage of to sell upon, which shows that specu lators are warily watching their opportunity, anJ do not act upon the mere impulse of the day or the hour. Setting out with the conviction that the chances, both of political' and financial affairs, were adverse to any reaction of importance in the sense of a recovery of the higher prices borne by the funds before the downward movemen t commenced, the speculators for the fall do not deviate two the lino of action they have chalked out, but are found ope rating on every convenient occasion. It remains to be sees what effect Lord John Russell's financial expo.ition an Meer day next may exercise on prices. Expectations are not very sanguine, however, in the City of any very favourable result, ter there is no question of the fact that government will have to raise a large amount of money in some shape, and it is comparatively of little consequence whether the transaction be effected through a funding fresh issues of Exchequer Bills, or by means of a loan, al the latter would probably tend more immediately to demo the market. Consols are still 901 to 1, both for money and time, with a heavy appearance. Reduced Threes, 911 to I. Exchequer Bills, Is. to ss. premium. Business is still so languid in foreign stocks as scarcely to cause a variation in prices, although the official list records rather more bargains than have taken place for some time past so early in the day as one o'clock, when it is publii.hed.

GLASOO'r, FEB. 17.-The trade to-day was less animated than wan expected, the sales being moistly in retail, and, except on the middling and inferior kinds of Wheat, for which we raise our quotations le. per boll, no advance could be got. Flour was le. per barrel dearer. Oats and Oa t meal sold slowly at former prices. Barley was steady, but did not find a ready Bale. As compared with previous weeks, the supplies from the coast, rid Grangemouth, since the 10th inst. hove been moderate. From Ireland about 7,500 qrs. of Oats have arrived, and 4,470 barrels Flour from America. The weather I, wet and stormy, the frost havin,r entirely disappeared. AT active local and Irish demand has been experienced for Wheat during the week, which has been freely met by holders, but some advance has been obtained f r secondary dt,criptions. American Flour has brought 43e. per barrel. Oats and Oatmeal have not sold freely, but full Dawes have been required. In Barley, Beans and Peas no change in value has occurred.

CATTLE, &C.—Sh! !Vali MX, Two o'clock—The arrivals of fresh Beasts from our own grazing districts is very small ; notwithstanding, as to numbers, there is altogether a fair shove ; but as to qua ity, very indifferent. The supply consists of nearly 200 from Rolland and Germany, many Of which are Coos; about 120 from Scotland, of good average quality; 1M Milch Cowie, and the remainder from the neighbourhood of London, including those th et remained unsold on Monday last. Trade is exceeding'' , heavy; the few choice Sew on offer maintain their pnce, but other descriptions are lows r, and a ilearanci cannot be effected. The number of She p is unusually amaa, but Friday's transactions in this department have become so unimportant that coca these trw are with difficulty disposed of. We have 100 from Rolland. Trade fur Calves is very slow, at a reduction of fully 4d. per 8 lbs. ; there are 13 from Holland. The warm weather causes a slow trade for Pigs. Per st-ne of s Ito ae. Per sumo oath. a s e. •.

Old Beans were carce and dear. MAIDEITONe, Fan. 18 —Our trade for Wh, at was any thing but lively; there was oridentiv no disposition to get into extra stock, neither could the advance be easily main tained. White, from 745. to 785.; red, 725, to 755. N o trade worthy of notice for Le ot Coro. NEWBURY, FEB. 18.-We continue to receive liberal sup plies of Wheat from our farmers, but muck out of condition.

SHEFFIELD, FEB. 16.-At our market to-day_we were moderately supplied with all kinds of grain. We have to notice an advance of from 2c. to as. per load on all descrip tions of Wheat., which caused the purchasers to be rather shy at transacting buslness. ; indeed the business done on the whole was very limited. Oats were alto Is. per quarter dearer. Beaus may be quoted 92. per qr. higher. In Barley and Peas no alteration to notice front last week.

Beans, Pens, and Oats were in considerable demand, yet but little for sale, the farmers requiring such for seed. Tares and Rye dearer, and rather scarce. All kinds of spring seeds getting up in price. STOCKTON-ON-TARS, FEB. 17.-The farmers' supply of Wheat to this day's market, aa well as the coasting arrivals, are small, which meet a good sale at fully 4s. per qr. advance on the rates of this day week. The prohibition of the ex port of f rain from several European countries, the reported prohibition of Orain from Ruston ports, with the advancing prices in France and America, end the great wants of Ire land and the north of Scotland, cause holders of grain to be very firm. There is likewise a strong impression that our farmers hold much less Wheat than usual for the BMOC of the year. Malting Barley Dells at our quotations. Oats and Beans are quite as dear. White boiling Peas, 2s. per quarter advance. Flour Dells at 2s. per sack advance.
