In the commencement of the week the wheat trade appeared to )1114e lost the buoyancy by which it had previously been char icterisell ; and the upward move ment in prices, which we have had to notice fur smite weeks past, 14`44:i% NI a check; this we attribute more to the (Ming off in the condition of the samples (owing to the con tinued wet mild weather) than to any change in opinion ; and though matters may perhaps remain quiet for a time, we do out expect any reaction will occur in prices. The arrivals of bread-stuffs from abru.ul have, with the exception of ft tar from America, been exceedingly small, and the receipts from !hence have not been by any means abundant; meanwhile, price . are rather rising than reced ing in the different bireign markets, and all the accounts agree in stating that Indent the advice' from hence be come more encouraging, as the season advances, the ship ments from the continent to (treat Britain will, in all probability. be trifling in the extreme. It appears likely therefore, that we shall, for some time at least, he de pendent chiefly on our own growers for supplies; and as the less wealthy farmers have now comparatively small stocks on hand, their nicsuitii a having compelled them to thrash out freely stain after harvest, those who are now the kprincipal holders will not, we thi n k, over supp l y t h e mar ets. The expectation that a moderato rise may take place on present rates does not therefore appear unreasonable, more especially when we take into consideration the uncer tain position of puiitieul affairs on the Continent. We would, however, caution oar friends not to indulge In too sanguine anticipations; the winter it must be recollected is rapidly passing away, and. whatev. r may be said to the eiontrary, still we feel satisfied that, with the opening of spring, supplies will reach us from MOW quarter or other. 7he very Id,) that prices will rise is sufficient tu Muse an importation ; for though there is no margin for profit on imports at the moment, the that higher terms will b• current in the course of a month or two will induce steps to be taken to provide for the expected want ; and when the anticipated period of scarcity al-rills, we shall probably discover that the preparations made to meet the same have been greater than needed. We do not say that this will actually prove the cue, but past experience certainly bears out this view. The somewhat subdued tone of the advice, front 3lark lane, of Monday last, hod inure or less influence at the prinepal provincial mulcts hell on the succeeding day. The principal bakers having purchased flour rather freely previous to the rise, the sale has since been fir. cumseribed, and the operations have, during the week, been on a retail wale. 1. °reign flour has commanded full price. , . From the contin, nt of Enrols• we have had no supplies worth naming, but front America 17,000 barrels have been received, for good brands of which 21s. to 22e. per barrel hay tarn realised. Very little English barley has appeared at market since Monday lot, and there has consequently not been much doing to this grain, but the feeling has been strongly iu favour of a further rise. and we are disposed to think that superior malting qualities would, if there had been any ex hibited, have soil at higher prices on Friday than those current in the beginning of the week. We have had no arrival.' of consequence from abroad, and good grinding sorts have been taken in small quantities at fully as high rates as before. The supply of m.tlt has •curcely kept pace with the de mand, and the value of the article has rather tended up ward,. The market his been sparingly supplied with oats, the to:al quantity reported up to this (Saturday) eveniug having amounted to only 8.131 quarters, inelusive of 4,417 quarters from shroud. lo the early part of the week the trade was decidedly languid ; hut there was a better feeling on Wednesday, and on Frailty goal corn was scarcely obtainable without paying a slight advance. We arc likely for some time to CUM to be principally de pendent on Ireland fur supplies ; and as prices are rela tively higher there than on this side of the channel, some rise in quotations here appears ahnoat inevitable. English beaus have tome soaringly to baud ; but we have no improvement to notice either in the demand for or the value of the article. l'eas have excited little attention, and prices have under gone no change requiring notice. V. ry full ternsv have been demanded for Indian corn on passage, and a good many triutsactions have taken place. FOREIGN. The gement tone of the advices from the continent con tinues lunch the same as before. The position of affair. hero appears to be little regarded, and the high range of prices is to be attributed to local speculation more than to any caport demand ; indeed, quotations are now relativel► so much higher abroad than sat this country, that at the moment there is no prospect of business bring done in grain between Great Britain and the continent with ad vantage. Danzig letters of the 12th inst. state that the stocks of fine old wheat had te•come reduced into a narrow compass, and that holders had consequently asked very high rates— say 48s. to 495. for the best, and 406. per qr. for very or dinary descriptions. The annual reports from thence all agree in stating that the wheat crop had given a good re turn aq regards quantity, but that in point of quality the result of the harvest had been decidedly unfavourable, very few of the parcels of new wheat brought forward having eseeeded 59 to 'lO lb.. per bush. in weight The export. of wheat from Danzig, in Itlsl, had amounted to 34,897 lasts, against 37.1 16 lasts in 11430. The stuck on band at the close of the year was estimated at 14,350 lasts, being 5,:i00 lasts less than was held at the end of 1850. Advice. from Rostock, dated 1:1th inst., state that further purchases of Wheat had been made there on Hamburg ac count, which bad enabled sellers to obtain advanced prices, and moderately good qualities, weighing 61 to 611Ibs. per ber.h., were then worth 38.. per qr. fret on board in spring. The quality of the new Wheat hardly came so well as expected, and it would, it was thought, be difficult to ship' . a higher weight than 6111bc per husk. The prevailing belief was, that even if Reqtlausl should not require sup plies, prices would be supported, as a continued demand from the interior of Germany was calculated on, the exten sive failure of the potato crop having caused wheat to be consumed much more generally than in ordinary years. At Hamburg, on Tuesday, there was again a renewed demand for wheat, partly on Stettin account, and contracts were clewed for about 700 lasts to be shipped from Baltic ports in spring. The prices paid weir higher than those previously current, viz., 40s. for Holstein and Wismar, ■nd 41s. bd. to 41s. per qr. free on board for Pomerania and Rostock. Rye was also in request at rising prices, and spring turn of all kinds was firm. 1•or fel to ii4lbs. Danish barley, equal tone. 3d. to 235. !hl.; and for Jutland oats, of 31411.5. weight, 16s. fisl. per qr. free on board in spring, was demanded. From Rotterdam we learn that further purchases of white Zealand wheat have been made for lkimam, which bad caused prices to advance 2e. per qr. In red wheat there bad not been so much doing, but the tendency had been decidedly upwards. Rye had been in active request ; and all other -inkiw had commanded full terms. The latest accounts from France state that the supplies of wheat from the growers had proved inadequate to satisfy the demand, and that quotations had consequently ad vanced in all the agricultural districts. Meanwhile stocks of flour were ',yearning short at the large consuming towns, and the article was rising rapidly in value at Faris, Mar seilles, &c. Letters from Naples of the 9th inst. inform us that a vessel or two had been chartered to load wheat fur England at 6s. 6d. per qr. Common qualities of soft Barletta wheat alight have been bought at 301,., and flue at 345. per qr. free on board. From the other Mediterranean ports wo have no news to communicate. _ . The latest arrivals from America state that the supplies of hreadstuffs at the ports on the seaboard had not increased, and a tolerably active export demand for flour and wheat having been experienced, prices had undergone a further rise. At New York superfine Rtates flour had risen to 4 dol. We.. being about 204. per barrel, and other sorts had realised corresponding rates. The prices asked being gene rally above the limits of the orders received from England, the shipments had not been large. 11g.tturte ItEADIN64.—Mr. Henry Nicholls, who has bei n for some two or three years favourably known to the public as an elocutionist of much talent, gave last night a reading of " Othello " at the Store-street Rooms, to a numerous audience. On more than one occasion we have noticed this gentleman's rendering of the Shakspearian role, and borne testimony to his great dramatic power ; and the entertainment of last night by no means detracted from his well-earned fame. The delivery of the scenes of highly wrought snit phrenzird passion, with which the play of " Othello " abounds, was powerfully given; and despite the absence of those essentials, as we hold them to be, scenery. dress, grouping of characters, and other stage etfeets, went fir to realise the author's conception. Mr. Nicholls appears to possess all the requisites of an actor— goon figure, easy and natural gesticulation, powerful yet musical voice, sound judgment, and Food taste, and in the present dearth of theatrical talent it is a pity not to see him on the stage, where, we are persuaded, he would soon be come a favourite. _ _ Twu BEAUTIFUL METEORS Were wren over Bombay on Friday cvening—ose at heVVII, and the other a few minutes afterwards. The first moved rapidly nearly across the zenith from S to N.W. —it was considerably brighter than Venus at her brightest.

The form of tho meteor was remarkable—it was not round,l;iit;Trregu far "' oval, somewhat of the shape of a pumpkin or pear. The second meteor was of about half the apparent site of the flat—it moved with a comparatively slow motion from north to almost directly south, and swept an arc of about td deg., when it vanished without explosion, leaving, Ilk. the other, a bright luminous streak to mark it. path ; it wea l visible for several secondx—bunsbay Time*.

Even Punch mays I am " Dun-up," so I must hide iny self carefully in the deepest recesses of agricultural conso lation. Amid the general gloom an occasional ray from philo sophical intelligence (thanks to Mr. Hill'. penny postage) lights my dreary path and supports my faltering steps. low delightful is this consolation from uncommon mils& 1 1 It compensates for whole volumes of vulgar abuse. Well, let us veil the disagreeahles and proceed to husi• nevi, for after all it is a simple matter of feet and figures, quite independent of politics, passion, or prejudice. I am not at all disappointed that even my showing an apparent loss has not pleases' everybody, although I am quite sum that had cireuniftancsat permitted (which they will some day) a very large profit, much greater would hove been thel discontent and disbelief. There is really a 111.111141 for agri cultural ruin just now. Before I proceed to the question at issue, permit me to correct a few of the erroneous assumptions and statements that sometimes beset me. First, then, my land is all per fectly drained, and has not been re-draine d; secondly, my huddler have not been pulled down and rebuilt, although I have added to them; thirdly (and I say it without vanity) I ant not a bad manager of stock, for it is the opinion of my immediate practical neighbours and labourer; that Ido make as much meat out of a given quantity of food as most people. I readily admit that our Essex stn. kis generally hardly so well bred as in more favoured districts, excepting always our pigs, which formed a material feature of my stels. In my balance-sheet there was an apparent loss of about 600/. upon 1.6001. of purchased food, whirls I said is compensated for by the extra manure. " Oh," says one, " hut you didn't value the manure from food purchased in 18:i0, which of course was as much as in IHdO." I reply, of course it was not as much, nur half as much. In fact, it was only during the last four years that I saw' the advantage of feeding with purchased food, and I remember when first I commenced farming being considerably abused and laughed at about my " solitary pig," which was all the lave stock the critic then happened to sec in the yards. There is one important fact that some of my objectors ani even my friends appear to have moat unaccountably oyerlookeil, and it is that the re-valuation of the land for a new rental was male on the 30th Oct., ISSO, snit instead of being fixed at 125., the then value of similar unimproved lands iii the neigh bourhood, it was raised to 3Gs. Fir acre, thus, in fact, tripling the fee simple. Why was it so raised? Not because it was poorer, but because by buildings, drainage, and improvements, and by the greatly increased fertility and improved condition of the soil itself, it was more prolific, although it had been mopped alternate years with wheat. The benefits of former manures were partially the causes of that increased valuation, and you will see that I have charged this greatly increased rent in my accounts. "Oh," bat says another critic, "" because you have expended 1001. in ISZiI in purchased food, of course you will continua to do so, and thus lose 600!, annually." Now, a reasonable person would infer, that having bought so an unusual a quantity, and thus brought my laud into such a state of fertility, I should not require to buy any more artificial fond or manures; and, in tact, it is my present impression, that my outlay in food and manures will seldom exceed ISO/. per annum, or 20.. per acre; and still I shall be able to keep plenty of stock from the produce of half my farm, it being nuw in a thriving condition, well filled with manure. It has been a.suractl, that now. is too great a loss on the consumption of I,GOO/. purchased food, and that one•third of the cost is too great a sum for the value of the manure. Now, as this is the great question of agriculture, with every deference I beg to state, that no animal will pay for feeding on purchased food, if you leave out of view the value of the manure. Itmatters not whether it bo hay, turnips, corn, straw, or oil-cake; and further, if you deduct attendsuce,lahour, do , in connexion with the extra manure made, also allow for casualties to stuck, one-third loss on the purcha,ed food will be a fair and wife calculation. You cannot buy turnips or mangold, for removal, under I'2s. to t.,. per ton, and certainly the stock will not pay more than 6.. or 7s. far thou. If you pay 30s. a ton fur straw, or 3/. for hay, the animal., will not return above half the cost. I am not %greed with the able and intelligent editor of an excellent agricultural publication, that I have overvalued my mangold at 61., and my Swedes at ua. 6,1. per ton, consuming price. If it takes 160 pounds of turnips to make ono pound, net weight, of meat, a tun would make 11 pounds nt 5d 6s. 10d. 560 pounds of tine straw-chaff, consumed with the ton of turnips, 90 poun Is of straw to make one pound of meat, is six pound.: at sd. Bi. 4d. This 1 consider the value of the ton of root. with the straw (minus attendance, &e.). Of course, if you used as an auxiliary purchased food, the loss on the purchases" food would absorb ouch of the value of your turnips. It is well to have a proper understanding on this important question, both as to the loss on the purchase of food, and of the benefit derived in the manure, which are about equiva lent. The principle is the Mlle whether it be 11. or ',SOW. I, therefore, insist on this truth, that all purchased food (rape-cake, perhaps, excepted), must leave a lu.. or charge fur the manure resulting from it. Still it is clearly shown to be a cheaper way of restoring fertility than purchased manure. A wise farmer, therefore, having his land in a state of fertility, will endeavour to maintain it by deep and ample cultivation, and by the consumption of one-half its produce with the straw of the other half. I predict the time to be coming when tho bearded-floor system will be generally adopted for animals, and straw will be deemed far too precious to be trampled under foot—it will be used us food. Before I conclude these remarks, let me entreat those who have capital to consider the poor unemployed labourer at this dull season of the year. I have forty extra men now employed digging the land ten inches deep, and throwing it up on ridges at 2d. per rod of 51 yards square, or If. per acre. It is a labour test, combining, in my opinion, charity with profit. It is true they can earn but about Is. per day, but I offer it to all the old men and strong youths who can get nothing else to do, and who must otherwise starve, go into the detested union, or involve themselves in debt. This operation is cheaper and infinitely better than ploughing, and the eagerness with which it is availed of impresses me with a very high sentiment of respect for the industry ofour rural population, and their distaste for idle ness. Of course I supply them with steel spades and forks, made in Birmingham, which are far superior Meese, effect, and price, to the ordinary bungling utensils of most flori cultural localities. A great reform is required in this mat ter of tools. In conclusion, I repeat, that my transaction has been, on the whole, profitable ; and we may easily imagine what would be the effect of tripling (by the application of skill and capitol) the rentals and tee-simples of the poor lands of this kingdom. It has been done in my case, and may in others under the same circumstances. No doubt many will be horrified at the idea of an overwhelming supply of bread and beef, hut if their principle is worth anything, the less we produce the happier we shall be. Ido not envy such people their logic or their feelings. I shall go on unflinchingly so long as it pleases (led to spare me, in what I believe to be the path of agricultural profit and truth. I. J. MECIII. Tiptree Ilall, Kelvedon, Essex, Jan. 6, 1652. Ftan AT BRIXTON. —This morning, shortly before 2 o'clock, information was received at the London engine stations of a serious fire having broken out in the New Park-road, Brixton. Engines were immediately despatched I to the scene, upon reaching which the firemen found the premises of Messrs. Clarke and CO., choesemongers, situate at No. 2 in the ahovo.named thoroughfare, in a blaze. The , discovery was made by a gentleman's servant, who, in ! I passing the building, perceived smoke issuing through the shutters of the shop. Ito 'fowled the inmates, all of whom, with the exception of Mr. Clarke, managed to effect a re ' treat, but not until they were nearly stifled with smoke. Mr. Clarke, being confined to his bed by illness, and usable to get up, some of his friends removed him in safety. The fire continued to progress so fiercely that the police were compelled to abandon all attempts to extinguish it, and they, therefore, had the doors closed until the arrival of the , London firemen, by whom, at length, th e fl ames were ex tinguished, but not until the whole of the valuable stuck in trade was severely burnt. TRANSATLANTIC TELEGRAPIL—Tho stretch of tele graph in the United States is now upwards of 12,000 miles. THE ELECTRIC TELEGICAPIL—it is in contempla tion to extend the telegraphic communication from Holy head to Dublin by means of the submarine telegraph, and, it is stated, that the same company which has executed the communication between England and France has offered to complete the electric intercourse with the sister island within a very remonsWe period of time.

M OSE, V Al 4lt KEY. THIS DAY. Two o'Ctoca. The transactions in the English funds this morn ing, as for some days past, have not been important, and a slight feeling of flatness has been generally observable, resulting in a decline of , to 1 per cent. Tho government broker has again made his appearance as a purchaser on account of the Sinking Fund, but it is noticed that the investments of the dividend receivers usual at this period do not offer with the customary freedom, a cussumstance which is probably owing to an idea that with a con tinuance of the present position of political matters, a possibility is opened up of investing at lower figures. Consols opened at a decline of 1, being first called 961 to Z for cash and tke 12th July, and they have since further receded to their present range of 96 to 1 for money, and 961 for the account. The figure at which the purchase on public account was effisded is 961. To-day's business list is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, 961, ; ditto for Account, 961, ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 971, 4 ; New Threeand-a-Quarter per Cents., ; Long An nuities, 1860, 7, 1-16; ditto 30 years, 1859, 6 13-16; ditto, 181;0, 61 ; South Sea New Annuities, 95Z, 961. There is no change in the unfunded securities, &- chequer Bills marking 565. and 595. prem.; and India Bonds. 695. to 71s. prem. After the increased activity noticed yesterday, the foreign stock market tu-day is extr e mely dull, no description being operated in to any important extent. The chief change in prices is in Spanish Bonds, which are decidedly flatter. Other stocks are nominally ,uoted unaltered, but no buoyancy is observable. 10-day's bargains are restricted to tlie following : —Austrian 5 per Cent. Bonds, 77. Dutch Four per Cent.

On the 11th a meeting was held at Madrid of the local holders of confiscated coupons, and a report was given of the fruitless efforts which had been made to obtain justice from M. Bravo Murillo. It was com plained that the local holders were worse off even than the foreign holders, inasmuch as they could obtain no certificate fur the forfeited Coupons.llt was therefore agreed to form a new committee to issue certificates for the local coupons presented. Mr. Weisweiller proposed that a testimonial should be given to the old committee, hut this they declined to accept. The names of the members of the new Madrid committee are Don Joaquin Aldamar, Don Marius du Angulo, Don Juan Antonio trans°, Don Jaime Girona, l)on Jose Diaz Agero, 1/on Juan Es corial y Gil, Don Antonio 11. Retamoso. In a communication to the London committee Mr. Weisweiller says: This measure, to which I have contributed, comes to the aid of the certificates which the English committee emit, because, there being also like certificates proceeding from the coupons of the home debt, the number of those interested in supporting and blaming the equitable settlement of such a sacred debt, is thus augmented, which settlement, I have no doubt, will be effected with time, for the reclamation is too just not to meet with a favourable result when the cir- change which actually prevent s uch being the The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent. per annum yielded by the various securities cited at the average of the prices now ruling. Where the asterisk (*) is prefixed, it is to be under stood that the share rate of interest is less the in come tax. It will be seen that in every case we take the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our calculation.

LANIENT.thLE ACCIDENT AT NIATLOCK.—We re cord with much sorrow a most dreadful accident which oc curred at Matlock, on Friday afternoon, and by which • most respectable professional man, practising as a surgeon at Buxton, and his son, a boy of 10 or 12 years of age, lost their lives. Mr. Cumming happened to be at Matlock for the day, and in the afternoon took a pleasure boat in order to indulge his son with a row on the River Derwent ; the recent rains had much swollen the river, and the rowers seem to have approached too near to the weir near Masson Mill • the force of the current carried the boat ov er th e fall, but Mr. Cumming and his son appeared to be uninjured by the descent, unit the boat grounded at its foot. The unfor tunate parent made the must desperate efforts to sav e hi s child, and repeatedly regained his feet after being drawn down by the current, but the power of tho stream proved too great for long resistance, and the father and sou were washed away to the depths below before the eyes of the anxious spectators. Our inform an t left at five o clock, at which time the efforts made with drugs bad been un availing, and no traces of the ti•silies hail been discovered. Mr. Cumming has left a wife and seven children.-I)erby shin Courier. 4 3 84 1 1 1; 4 IS 21 4 6 11 4 6 /If
