PORTSMOUTH, 1)1.1C. 7.—The Retribution, steam frigate, Captain Warden, arrived to-day from the Cape of Good Hope, which she left on the 16th of October. Her news, brought to England by the Flying Fish, from Ascen eon, where the Retribution put in to coal, was given in the Erprrss of Saturday (yesterday). The Retribution, • 711111 Cyclops, steam frigates, all from the Cape, left Awvcioo on the 6th of November. The two first-named put into St. Vincent, Cope de Verd., on the 20th of Nov. to coal; the Cydops going for the same purpose to Madeira. The Retribution and Sidon left St. Vincent on the 21st of November, and kept company for some days, tOMildrillg rates of sailing and steaming. In both in 'tames the lictribution was the fastest vessel. The Retri bution has brought home Captain Hutton, late governor of Awinsion, and a number of invalids. Lieutenant John liaton, ins alided from the Tortoise, was also a passenger on Gaud the Retribution, but he died on the passage on the 10th of Novembe. She had a small mail from the Cape, but transferred it to the Flying Fish, at Ascension, for conveyance to England, as it was thought the latter would arrive first ; the Ratribution having to go iato St. Vincent to cue:. It appears, - however, that the Flying Fish did not land this Mail at Plymouth, where she put i n oil leitay morning, but brought it on totals port, and both re them arriving at Spithead to-day about the same time,' was again transferred to the Retri bution.

ACTION AGAINST THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND. JAMES BIRCH, PHOPSIIITOII OF THE WouLm" News eArelit, 0. BM WILLIAM M. SuMMITILLE, This extraordinary ease, which for some time past has excited the utmost curiosity in Dubin, rune on for trial yesterday. The intense public interest which it created gave reason to apprehend that the court would be incon veniently crowded, and accordingly arrangement. acre judiciously made by the sheriff to regulate the uumission by tickets, said thus perfect order was preserved. A number of ladies were admitted to the side galleries, and every available part of the court was filled with anxious lis tener.. Lords flo ugh, Cuurtown, and Monk, occupied seats near the Chief Justice ou the Bench; and his Excel lency the Lord Lieutenant, she arrived shortly attic ten, and before the sitting of the court, was ushered into the judge's chamber, where he waited until called on to give ha evidence for the plaintiff. The jury having been sworn, Mr. O'Driscoll opened the pleedine It was an action of assumpsit to recover the sum of i,OOO ~ and contained the usual counts for goods sold and delivered, work and labour supplied, au. The defendant pleaded the general issue. Mr. JUlllvi Birch, the plaiiitiff, was examined, awl de posed to his interview with the Earl of Clarendon, who re ferred him to Sir WM. Somerville. Ile detailed the various interviews he had had with Sir Wm. Somerville, and his secretary, Mr. Meredith, in London ; and spoke of the re ceipt sit sums of money from 3lr. Meredith, Xlr. Connellan, and Sir Wm. Somerville, a m ou nting in all to about 9001. Ile had continued rendering acre ices to the guvernmeut in his 'ismer from 1848 up to the 18th January, 1841. lie Iss keyed the sum of 6,5001. was due to bins by the detendaga. Cross-examined by Mr. Brewster—Upon my oath, as as honest min, I think that sum is due to me Ly Sir William Somerville ; 1 du not charge by the article, or by the week; but rather by the year. I think that fur the support of such a government a very large remuneration should be expected. —Did you think there was any baseness or corruption in supporting that government? Witness I did nut.— Did you ever write an article which you did not approve of iii your own conscience ? Witness: I never sanctioned an article which I did not approve of in my conscience.— Now, tell us how much a year you were to get for what you did? Witness: I have not ascertained the exact amount.—Upon your oath, how much a year ought you to get for your services? Witness (after some deliberation) : I think 5,000'. a year would not be too much. (Laughter.)—Will you swear that you ever cir culated 1,:i00 copies of the I Vorld newspaper at ally one time? Witness: I will not.—What is the price of your paper? Witness: 6.1. for one copy.-1,500 sixpences and 0,0001. a year. (Laughter.) During the time these ar rangements were going on with the government, you acted, I presume, on the sole responsibility of Sir William Somer ville ? Witness : l Carried it on fur the government.—Did you consider Sir Wm. Somerville as your sole debtor, and the person whom you would be entitled to sue, when you entered into the new arr a ngement, i n J une , 1848. Witness: Yes. 1 consider that I had a claim on Lord Clarendon also. Did you ask to be appointed Collector- lieneral of Taxes ? Witness: I did not, but if I did 1 think I ought to get it for my services. (Laughter.) I received 2,0001. from Lord Clarendon, and he said that I never gave him any value fur it. Did you ever receive any other payments' from Isis Excellency Witneu: Ile gave me 3411. llow much did you receive altogether from Lord Clarendon and Sir William Somerville, includ ing the 2,000/. ? Witness: I can't exactly remember the tot of the whole.—Did you not receive 1,7001. in addition to the 2,0001. you had from his Excel- May? Witness; I did.—And now you swear that you see entitled to 6,5001. more. (Laughter.) Witness: I think I am.—Do you know an attorney named Symms? Witness : Not to my knowledge.—Did you ever threaten any 111:411 that if he did not give yo u money you wou ld publish things in your newspaper to his disparagement ? I saver did.—Du you swear you never did so, directly or in directly ? Witness (atter sonic hesitation): I don't think I over did.—Were you ever taken up and put into gaol for making such a threat? I was, but must unjustly.—Do you know Mr. Hartley ? He was a subscriber to my paper fur •short time.—Did you not demand money from him? On my oath I do not recollect that I ever did.—Will you swear that you never did. Can you forget going to a gentleman k Mr. Hartley's position, and demanding money from him at the peril of publication? Witness I don't remember it. His Excellency the Earl of Clarendon took the usual allabmatinzi made by a peer previous to giving testimony , seed hi reply to Mr. Meagher said —l wa s viceroy or Ireland in 1848 ; Mr. Curry Connellan was then my private secre lisey—(letter ofJuly 17th, 1848, produced) ; this letter was written under my instructions. Mr. Meagher: You say iu that letter that you would write one to Sir William Somerville; was that letter written accordingly? Witness: It was.—Have you got any copy or abstract of it? None whatever.—A.r e you now able to state the substance of that letter to Sir William Somerville? Yes; I wrote to Sir W. Somerville saying, that if Mr. Birch, the editor of the World, should call upon him, that he had written in defence of law and order, and that if any per sons refereed to him in England, to inquire whether that was the cuse, he in;ght any that it was se.—ls that the en. tire substance of the letter? I likewise told him that he might give him tome money.—May I ask your Excellency if you can recollect that that is the entire of that com munication in relation to this matter ? I believe that is the whole of it; I don't recollect anything more. It was a letter I unite myself, of which no copy was kept —May I auk your Excellency if you ascertained from Sir William Somerville whether Mr. Birch called on him? Yes, he did call on Sir William Sumerville.—Did you learn from Sir William Somerville whether any arrangement was made ? No; lam not aware that any arrangement was made with him. Sir William Somerville gave him some money; no other arrangement I think was made with him.—No other arrangement ? No, except to give him some money.— Was Mr. Birch, to your Excellency's knowledge, sup porting the government before for any considerable time? Supporting the government ; no, I should say not. I sent for Mr. Birth in consequence of his offers to me to support law and order. lie had repeatedly offered to do so during the year 1347, and had sent me his papers and written me various letters which were simply acknowledged. Ile sub sequently, in February, offered to support the cause of law and order, which was certainly then in some danger. I then saw Mr. Birch. I then thought I should have, at that time, in respect to the public affairs, have failed in my duty if I did not accept the offices of any person in support of law and order. I then saw Mr. Birch, and he offered to write in that sense. I told Mm that he might do so, although I certainly did not expect much to result from his labours. I told him at the same time I wished for no support to the government, and that, as far as I myself was concerned, he might abuse me as much as he liked, as it was perfectly indifferent to me. (Laughter.) Am Ito understand that your Excellency would accept his services on that occasion ?—Yes, to write in defence of law and order. Did you see articles in sup port of law and order in his newspaper afterwards ?—Yes, I did, occasionally. Is it not a fact that up to January, 18.51, he continued to publish those articles in de fence of law and order ?-1 es, I am not aware that law and order wanted any defence up to 1851. (Laughter ) Well' in defence of the general policy of the government ? I cannot say that he did, but, in feet, I never read his paper at all. Did your Excellency make any payment to Mr. Birch for his services in defence of law and order ; and might I ask you what sums ? He received sums at various times; I could not exactly name the amount which I paid him; the first time I saw him he asked me for money; I told him there were no funds applicable to such purposes. He then said he did not ask rue for it for his own remuneration, but because he should be otherwise unable to procure agents to extend the circulation of his paper. I then offered him 1001., if I re. member rightly, for it did not make any great impression ea me at the time. He said that that would not be sufficient for his purpoee, and I think it was then extended to about $3Ol. Ibis was in the beginning of February, 1848, if I remember correctly.—Did your Excellency know that any farther sums of money were paid to Mr. Birch in London '? Yee.—ls your Excellency aware from what fund it came? From a fund placed at the disposal of Sir William Somer ville, at my request.—Out of the public funds, was it? I could not say it came out of the public funds. I said it was a fund placed at the disposal of Sir W. Somerville at my requer.—Allow me to ask your Excellency whether they were or were not public funds ? Part of what Mr. Birch received was from money applicable to special ser vices, and part was eat of my own private pocket. The part which was treat the money applicable to special ser vile. was cleaned Si my request, and on my oun respon sibility, and MIS repeal il i zzlf very lung ago. Ofem-auswielailyMr. r Is your Excellency SWAM that allegothar Mr.keit pet 3,7001. ? I am.—Was every farthing et that mem tram you ? Every farthing, and sow from Mr Maims fMlmvill. ; the mousy which he gave was admired to bilt s zs ek or at my request, and I was responsilik k; Sir William Somerville acted simply as my wont, sad solely by my instructions. 11.:Meredytk sod Mr. C. Connellan having been examined at eensiimidielseph in support of the prosecution, The mon moo alikninal •until Saturday morning, when Mr. to add rem the jury at great length ai B ba lli rC i lir saeli fesdant. He read a lengthy oorrespoe- BOOM bus Mr W. Somerville and the plaintiff, in whisk km kaki urged his claims and solicited assistance in money, eHtliaasegbt to obtain a place for his brother. Sir W. e._ k.., in his letters, denied that the plaintiff had any 7 Aim upon him—told him to state what his wishes Of regnLMh were, and it would be submitted for mai:. defeat's. Several of the plaintiff's letters also contained threats of exposure, if his demands were not com plied with. Mr. Brewster also produced a release exe cuted by the plaintiff to Lord Clarendon, on receiving the sum of 2,000 L, making in all 3,7001. received by him from his Excellency for services rendered " in suppressing the rebellion of 1818." A letter from the plaintiff to Lord J. Russell was also read by counsel, and in it, after enume rating his claims on the government, be thus addresses his lordship : " One thing, if the truth be told, cannot be de nied, that you gave me, during a lengthened period, va rious some, amounting to 3,7001. ; that by the letter of the Irish Secretary I might still have been a stipendiary advo cate of the i overnment ; and that, having refused that proposal, every effort is now being made to ruin me." At the conclusion of the learned gentleman's address the documents referred to by him were produced in evidence. Mr. Keogh. Q.C., then replied on behalf of the plaintiff. The Chief Justice briefly chareed the jury, who returned a verdict fur defendant, with 6.1. costs. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. DLIOME Mt. /1111/1101101fkll FoIIBLANQUIL Is lit Pzernn. This was the last examination meeting in the case of Ed ward Pepper, who had kept the Albiun tavern and dining. moms, in Threadneedle-street. His balance-sheet, prepared by Mr. Pettis, of Basinghallatrect, extended over 12 months prior to May lost, and showed about 1,8001, due to cre ditors (of which 1,4001. was claimed. by the mother of the bankrupt) ; to mortgage and other creditors. 2501.; liabili ties, 174. The accounts began with a deficiency of 4621. His assets were, in property, 5641. • in doubtful debts, 13/. The profits had been 1.101. ; losses, 309/. ; trade expenses, 392!. ; discount, interest, &c., 2011. ; domestic expenses, 205/. Mr. Linklater opposed, fur the assignees, on the ground that there was no proof of the mother's debt. The hank rupt had undertaken to produe a deed which he said had been executed in her favour, but had not done so ; the as signees therefore asked for an adjournment sine die. Mr. Duncan, in support of the bankrupt, admitted that the deed, bring informal, was of no value. The mother had advanced the bankrupt 1,1001. on his entering on the concern in Thicadncedle greet, which was a most unfortunate one, having ruined Everybody hitherto connected with it, and the bankrupt had at first treated the advance as a gift, hut the mother claiintd to Ir.ve it consi dered as a debt. Excluding the mother's debt, the assets were sufficient to pay 225. in the p rand. His Honour said he should allow the bankrupt to pass, giving the mother a few days in which either to prove her debt or make a claim, and if she did not do so there was an cud of it. NINES. (From the Doily Newt) SATURDAT EVENING. During the early part of the week, and for some days duration, there was remarkable activity in the share market, and whilst transaction; to a very heavy amount took place in dividend shares, a good business was doing in those of a more speculative character, but which present more than the usual appearances of success. In Alfred Consols, a further nee of nearly 2/. per share took place in consequence of several large purchases being made for Cornwall. Towards the close of the week, however, these shares rather declined, the nip having tempted a few holders to realise. In Great Alfredo, West Alfred Consols, West Providence, Wheal Cupid, Merllyn, Fenton, Tincrok, Trevclyan, Treviskev, Mary Ann, West Camden, and other shares, a fair business was also done. It will thus be seen that the French news, which has exercised so paralysing an effect on the other security markets, has had no in fluence on mining business. It would rather appear that capital is flowing more freely into mineral en terprise in preference to government stocks and rail way shares, the value of which is so liable to fluctu ation in agitated times. This is a result which is of course mainly attributable to the abundance of money. In the Californian gold mining shares, on the other hand, this has been a quiet week, no disposition to enter into dealings beinF evinced by the habitues of the Stock Exchange. Still those shares which are now sufficiently marked in the "house" have at tracted a certain proportion ettransactions, but they have been chiefly in the direction of sales, and quota alas of nearly all tieweriptteas are redaeed and does t'... Ages Frias have to-day been dealt in at and Ave Marian at a, a. The last quotations are, Agua Fria 3 to a, prem., Nouveau :Monde i to prem., Anglo Californian to to a prem., Golden Moun tain 3 dis. to par, West Mariposa and Ave Maria 5-16 to 3-16 dis. The settling, which is to be completed on Monday, in Agua Fritts and Ave Marina, has some influence on pnces, as very extensive transactions will have to be squared. The latest list of quotations is as follows:--Alfred Consols, 16, 161; Bedford United, 7, 64, 7 ; Con durrow, 103 ; Devon Great Consols, 280; West Alfred Consols, 11, 12; Great Alfred, 10, 11; Merl- VII, 41; Trevelyan, 21. 3 ; Tineroft, 7, 71; Trevis key, 203, 207, 10 ; West Caradon, 100 ; South Cam den, 126; Mary Ann, 40 ; Venton, 61; Garreg, I ; South Tamar, Tregordan, 5, 10; Cupid, ti, 10; East Bullet, 21, 31.

CHANCELLORSHIP OF THE UNIVERSITY OF DUBLIN. —A morning paper says that it is very probable that the Earl of Derby will be elected Chancellor of the University of Dublin. DERBYSHIRE, STAFFORDSHIRE, AND WORCESTER stuaz JuNcrtor ItaitwaY.—On Saturday the ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held at the King's Arms Hotel, Bridge-street, West minster ; Mr. Alston, the chairman of the directors, in the chair. For some time after the hour of meeting there were not sufficient shareholders present to make a quorum but the requisite number eventually assembled, and the busi ness was proceeded with. The seal of the company having been affixed to the register of shareholders, the chairman proceeded to read the report, which stated that the efforts to obtain payment of the balance of 2,6231. 135., due from the late solicitor, had not been successful ; but the board loped at the nest meeting of the shareholders they would be able to announce the payment of that long-standing debt. The directors had kept down to the very lowest sun the annual expenditure by lessening the number of officers employed on the establishment, and the amount of their remuneration by resisting demands which had proved to be unjust, and by 'obtaining from the solvent shareholders payment of their calls. They had also, with the sanction of the last half-yearly meeting, forfeited the shares of irresponsible Ipropneton, and placed the register in a sound state. As the period for the purchase of land fur the purposes of the railway will expire in July next, and is another company had intimated their intention of apply ing to parliament in the ensuing session, for a line of rail way to run partly parallel with the Derbyshire line, the board considered that the time had arrived when it was incumbent upon them to place this company and their line upon a basis which might enable the directors to carry out the original intention of the promoters, by extending this rail way into the manufacturing districts. With this view, they had deemed it advisable to apply to parliament in the approaching session for powers to extend the line, already sanctioned by the act incorporating the company to Wolver hampton, Walsall, and the Four Ashes station, on the Lon don and North Western Railway, by which the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire' unction,which terminated in a field, would be extended to those most important ma nufacturing towns, and thus be connected with the Leaden and North Western, the Great Western, the North Stadler& shire, and the South Staffordshire Railways. Those ias portant objects could be effected at a small expense, and would restore the property of the shareholders to a valuable position, and eventually ensure for the agriculturaL mine ral, and manufacturing interests in the vicinity the Meet extensive advantages. It was the intention of the dime*, to convene n meeting of the proprietors, to submit for their consideration and determination that new feature in their affairs, the particulars of which would be previously trans. sifted, so that each proprietor might have ample time te consider the measure, and give his opinion thereon. The Chairman thought t hat as so few of the shareholders were present, the meeting had better limit its consideration on this occasion to the more formal business before it, leaving the remainder to be discussed at a subsequent meeting. He therefore moved that the further consideration of the re port be adjourned to the next meeting. The motion was carried unanimously. Mr. Humphrey Brown, M.P. was re-elected a director, General Sr John Fitzgerald was elected in the room of Mr. Thomas Miller, and the meeting adjourned. CHURCH Or ENGLAND YOUNG MEN'S SOCIETY.--.

The share market, which closed at an improve ment on Saturday, opened this morning with much more buoyancy, and a further ;Treat rise was esta blished, extending to every line on the list, and amounting in some cases to from 21. to 41. on the heavier stocks. Great Westerns rose to 841 ; North Westerns, to 1144; South-Westerns to 83 1 i; Man chester and Sheffields, to 33 ; South-Easterns, to 201; Midlands, to 54; and York and North Midlands, to 21. A little reaction subsequently followed, and prices gave way to some extent; but the feeling is now firmer again, and the market looks decidedly good. MONEY AI..4IIKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLoczt Much more confidence has been displayed in the Stock Exchange to-day, and the full accounts from Paris being favourably interpreted by the dealers, a sensible rally has taken place in every department. Consols were at one time dealt in at a clear rise of 1 per cent over the last rates of Saturday, and a rise of ' about 11 per cent in the various classes of the home funds has been maintained to the present hour. Consols, which on Saturday were last officially quoted 971, opened this morning at 98 to and atter being done at 981, have settled down at 971 to 98 for cash and Thu rsday's settling, and 98 to e l ; for the January account. There has not been much improve ' ment to-day, and the appearance of the markets is altogether more settled. The following is the offi cial report of the business done in this department : Three per Cent. Consols, 98, 1, 971, 98; ditto for account, 981, 1, 971, 98. Three per Cent. Reduced, 971, . New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 984, I 98, 1 , Exchequer Bills have improved is., being now quoted 48s. to 51s. prom., and India Bonds have ad vanced to 585. to 61s. prem. Foreign stocks participate in the improved feeling generally prevalent, and are all better, though there is still an absence of active movement in this department. Mexicans have rallied considerably, owing to its being announced by telegraph that the Dec has brought over 112,482 dollars on dividend account. 'the transac tions of the morning are at the following prices, which, in nearly every case, present an advance, viz., Buenos Ayres Bonds, Six per Cents., 50. Danish Bonds, Three per Cents., 74, 76. Dutch Bonds, Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 59; Equador Bonds, 3. French Five per Cent. Rentes, 94f. 50c., at an ex change of 25f. 30e.; ditto Three per Cents., 57fr. 50c., at an exchange of 25fr. 25c. Mexican Bonds, Five per Cents., 21, 231, 241. Peruvian Bonds, Five per Cents., 911; ditto Deferred, 44. Portuguese Four per Cents., 34. Russian Bonds, Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1031. Sardinian Bonds, Five per Cents., 80, 81 ex div. Spanish Actives, Five per Cents., for Account, 201. Confidence is further stimulated by the announce ment, in successive editions of the Daily Xeres, of the arrival of 697,000 dollars at Liverpool, by the Cambria, and of 1,635,780 dollars at Southampton by the West India steamer Dec. These two 8111111: re present a total of some 500,000/. in English money, and taken in conjunction with the other large ar rivals of specie lately noticed, are of considerable importance. 'There has been more movement in the market for the Californian gold mining shares, this being settling day in Agua Fries and Ave Maria& The settlement has progressed very satisfac torily, and prices wear a firmer appearance. Present quotations are : Agua Fria, 1 *a 1 premium. Nouveau Monde, 7to 1 prem. Ave Maria, to dis. West Mariposa,l to 1 die. Anglo Californian, Lto 1 prom . Golden Mountain, Ito ,1 dis. 6 SATVILDAV EVENING. From the old committee of anish bondholders we have received a copy of the protest formally made on the 3rd inst., by Mr. James Capel, as represen tative of the committee, in presence of a notary, against the confiscation of the Fifty per Cents. of the Coupons, as provided in the law of the Ist of August last. The protest refuses to recognise the law as a final settlement of the bondholders claims which they do not in any way relinquish, and will continue to urge upon the attention of the Spanish govern ment till justice is done them. The committee, how ever, as already noticed, think it best for the interest of their constituents to take an active part in the conversion. Notice has been issued of the payment of the fifteenth half-yearly instalment. which became due on the Ist June, 1850, on the Portuguese - Annuities of 1843. The Portuguese financial agent has also given notice of the usual half-yearly payments on the Five per Cent. and Four per Cent. Stocks, subject to the deduction of 25 per cent.; and the half-yearly dividend on the Three per Cent. Stock of 1848, with out deduction. The discount market has not as yet been affected by political events, though there is more caution. The large supplies of bullion from America tend to repress movements for a rise in the rates. Discount of first-class paper can be effected at the former low rates. The Bank of France returns for the week ending Thursday, the 4th of December, show the follow ing results (2 francs for 11.) : Bullion £23,751,588 Decree's .... £189,347 Bullion on deposit 139,005 Increase .... 35,946 Circulation Public deposits 1,924,344 Increase .... 199,220 Private deposits Bills discounted Government securities 7,061,121 Increase .... 6,121 This return shows a decrease in the bullion, but considering the events of which Paris has been the scene during the week, the diminution is much less than might have been expected. It is stated that the government had issued instructions to the Bank to step specie payments, in the event of a decided run upon it. In the departments, the metallic reserve has increased. The 'imports of bullion this week comprise 2,8001., and 3 boxes, by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Montrose (from Gibraltar 473/., and 3 boxes, value unknown, from Lisbon, 2,3451.); 1,296,000 dots. by the Canada from New York ; 13,3001. by the Mary Bannatyne, chiefly in Australian gold ; 1,299 ounces of gold by her Majesty's ship llavannah, from the Bathurst diggings; 1,044,323 dole., and 12,0001. in sovereigns, by the Baltic, from New York ; and 2,5001. by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Sultan. The total amount is upwards of 520,0001. The total amount of the precious metals exported direct from London, during the week ending Thurs day last, was small, comprising 38,032 oz. of silver, and 3,192 oz., and 2,0004 in gold, of the aggregate value of 24,0001. The account in detail is as fol lows :—Silver coin : to Rotterdam. 15,000 oz. ; to Ca lais, 20,000 oz; to Boulogne, 1,100 oz. Silver bars : to Boulogne, 1,952 oz. Gold coin: to Calais, 3,000 oz. ;to the Mauritius, 2,0001. Gold dust :to Ham burg, 192 oz. The other exports are small, comprising only 500/. by the Peninsular and Oriental steamer,' Euzine, from Southampton, and 2,4001. by the Great Western for the West Indies. The total exports of the week may thus be set down at only 27,0001., but the steamer will take out a large sum for the Indian markets. An analysis of the railway traffic returns of the United Kingdom for the last week, published by Herapath's Journal, shows the total receipts on 6,468 miles to be 246,4901., or at the rate of 381. per mile per week. In the corresponding week of last year the amount was 229,7121. on 6,192 miles, or 371. per mile per week. There is thus an increase in the aggregate amount received of 16,7781., or 7.30 per cent., an increase in the mileage of 276 miles, or 4.45 per cent., and an increase of 11. in the amount re ceived per mile per week. The Railway nmes esti mates the total receipts, since the let July, at 6,818,8871., which, on 6,307 miles, gives an average of 1,0811. 3s. 2fd. per mile ; and as the amount for the corresponding period of 1830 was only 5,868,2901. on 6,999 miles, or 9781. 4s. 20. per mile, the difference is shown to be in favour of the present year to the extent of 1021. 19s. old. per mile.

MARK-LANE.—TIIIS DAY. The supply of English Wheat at market this morning was not large, and the condition of many of the samples was but indifferent. Choice dry qualities were saleable, at former prices, but out•ofsconditioned p a rc e l s were l s. per qr. cheaper. Foreign Wheat sold on much the same terms as last week. Flour maintained late rates. Selected samples of malting Barley realised the full prices of Monday last, but secondary qualities were easier to purchase. Foreign, for grinding and distilling purposes, supported it, value. there was Icy activity in the Oat trade than of late, and the extreme quotations of last week were supported with difficulty. Beans and Peas arc brought sparingly to market, and in the absence of supplies of moment, prices arc fairly main tained. ARRIVALS INTO LONDON FROM Ist I/EC. to Gth DEC; (Sr.. Etta Halt. Scotch.
