Lord Doer... in Jahr farewell addrese, alluded to mi ton Mixon.% a. uttnitel Mai IA hay ile h. ea us•.l to Oin tit ewe the emsaciessem of the voters, wittier* understood it to mean iatimid.tioa and t•r:'.rrr." The okuret of the petition was to taper* the bribery mut unseat the raeinhvrt. Was nut aware that under .1 law f; Vict., e. 102, s G. that a petition ti ittrlitinent r gnr•••na an inquiry must be presented within 21 days after the with drawal at II petition. Colonel Dickson did sot allege any other ~on for wishing to withdraw the petition out of Brown's hands beside that ■rising from whit Turd Rnne l.gh said. Tne colonel espreued his distrust, end said he bad lost all confidence in Brown. Colonel Dickson kers said he had no olgeet:on if the commits^.• wished Lord Ranelsegh to be called. Mr. Brown said be whiled It Witness dial not =Feet any pelsetiary aoLt ince from Lord DOOM for the unduct of Hoe retain... or 10111 Brows be expected lordship t 3 sulethribe .gilt., or that the ease was eonopleteiy hopelem since the " great Oakes" dooth, the new dale home become a =sob r ul the government and linter of th , I.. , rae. blight have told Brown he wee per fectly smash 01, it a case of La ihery wa. got up or eeto blished, that the duke would subsciihe toward. the prose cution of the petition, Dot could not %.1) vet or n By the Chairot au—There was an undentanaliog that nothing tooter should be done I...toeen the candidate'. DOI not know it woo in writing, and never saw the 'tube on the s 09. et of the petition, or Is el couversation with loin as to th • hole Leanne of going on with the petition. Thought, however, the dub. would have subaiiiwd to the petition, even -liter he bee one Master of the 11 , ,rae, if it was shown to hint there bad been unfelt praetkes. 117 Mr. Brown—Had stated in his previous evidence that on represervieg certain statements r. Bowe, the latter said " Used God, caw toe prove iii" awl the einem• stances fared to matters that m she, if names wet e gun. toned, criminate third partiss. By the Consa.ittee—lt was fa:hewed that there were in Norwich a nom& roble number of poor 'Mere who received promises or allowances until vacancies occurred in cane of the eh arities These promises were mode by the fiber Ale. I Was not aware that they were made by the toile,. Loral Douro expressly pledged himself not to do so. and nothing of the sort was due to witnem's knowledge by the Wife. These ;person e.t.a for the allowances regularly once a week, and the coneervatio es had a wan in the street who saw them pail. In one cue when a person wet turd with this, he said, " Mr. So and So and his wife cone to ale before th' election, and 1 made hint tomb and such a premier, and have kept it slue the election," sail Bruin said, "blood God, can you prove ?" The class of voters to which M.. Ss and 8o belonged was the liberal clam. (Ima gliter.) Dol not tell Brown after the withdrawal of p. titioos that if ho could epees.) Dickson that was all be need do. By the committ:e—There are a certain number of chari ties In Norwich, and a certain number of trustees, and it not wain guently happened that a leading man of ither political party said to a voter, "Now, you may Lave an allow nee of 2.. or 2s. 6d. a week, until you can get into the charity, or Old Man's ilinpit,l.' lie then exerted his personal interest with the tensor of a charity, sod got the voter in. There had been above fifty recipient.. of this dimity et one time, voters., end the system t been going en fur a loug time. The right of voting conferred facilities for getting into that Old Manls Hospital and I other charitie.. Suppose a freeman had voted Inc his party steadily for forty years, at the cud if that period he might say, " I have served my party long and faithfully, I have paid my rates, and am falling into decay, will you Loo your iefluenee to get me into the chari y ?" By Mr. Brown—Nothing ever escaped Brown's lips, that would have induced him to endorse the statement all, ged to have been made be Lord Itanelagh, that Brown was a Main lieely to 'ell " him. If so, witi.en should not have allowed Brown to retain the conduct of the petition. Egomania by Col. Dickson—Believed it could be proved that no fewer than 20 of these poor voters were seeen to re ceive these allowances every Friday, and that they had hems watched and were seen to be paid at the Old Maa's Her pital ; and from the investigation witness had made, belie timed this would be proved to be the ease. By the Committee—lf the petitions, on hearing befell* committee wire pronounced frivolous and vexatious, the Norwich core...entire party would have had to meet the expenses. Witness would never have asked them for the amount of his bill. The reason for presenting two peti tons against the same parties, one against both members, and another against only one, was done because it was thought prudent to do so, end with a view to a , poesible compromise, on the " One and one" system. Unoorstooll that the overture from Mr. Oliveira was that both seats were to be retained by the sitting member,, and witness would be no party to that.. The object of tile petiinh was not to fright's 1 into a compromise, and to let Warner have the seat. By Mr. Brow n—Had yesterday used the words, " He'd sell you," bat he now oaderstood the words were " He'll throw yea over." Colonel Dickson did not tell wit ness Lord It anelagh had authorised hint to make that state ment. Witness might be surprised if Lord Itonelegh were to contradict poisat blank he ever said to Colonel Dickson that he recommended the petition bring taken cut of Brown's bards. or he wilt throw you over, and that he told Colonel Dickson that he would, on uo account, tallow his tonne to he used. Colonel Forester, who was sitting among members, here at a suggestion, retired front the room. Lieutuan.-Colonel Dickson was then examined by the hon. Chelan*. Ile deposed that, in conjunction with the Margin. of Demo, he was a candidate at the last election fee Norwich. They started as free trotters, but as sup porters generally of the Derby admiatskation. The can vass= together, and issued a joint address. Lord Douro deemed he would support the Derby administration so long as it del not go back to protection, sad witness said the same. It was a mistake to suppose that either he or his noble colleague were con servatives. On Bith, witness wrote Brown a letter, which Brown had Miele' answered, stating—" I em mere as tonished and disgusted than I can express, to hod that the petition foe Norwich has been withdrawn. lat first thought that the petitio•ans had induced Kitten to withdraw the position, but am gratified to find by post this morning, from Kitten, that ho and my friends there, and himself, are epwlly iadignant and disgusted at w hat hag taken piece. The thing has bees dace on your responsibility, and witacut =authority whatever,and you must take the tensegeence. It is the jauntiest of the parties at Norwich immediately to take steps to restore the petitions to the list for the purpose of having them dealt with by the Hots* ut Commons. Years, 1.. Diezeow."—Witness waited for a long time on the following Thursday to see Brown at his office. At last be drove up in scab and eneountered Major Beresford, to whom Brown was talking. Witness complained io the promo, of both that the petition was withdrawn, and that be had been treated by the party —by the party be meant—Forbes Mackenzie, Colonel Forester, madestlems of the Carlton—who took upon them the rema in*msmegsmeat of electioas, and th. se gentlemen to when witness attriOuted the withdrawal of the petition, taws be did ant believe that Brown had acted without their genseut. I diculd like to explain my connexion the gentlemen of the Carina with regard to my play down to stand for Norwich or any other place. I WO Mikes to go down somewhere and support Lord Derby's interest (continued the w does., who gave his eli ding* with ensiderable animation). I went to the Carl yle, and gave my name in to Cul. Fenster, as a candidate tap and light for Lord Derby. There were several places ME= to woe, and among others, Dover. 1 had everything may. I enraged my solicitor to write to Dover. I cegaged on agent. I had an address ready at Dover, and was on the eve of starting, but I happened to see Mr. Forbes Mac hu:air, aced on telling him 1 was just about starting, be said, " Oh, it's a mistake, Forester has no right to do tide ...without nw leave." One would suppose the borough wee' his own. (Loud laughter.) Mackenzie told me it was a wattle altogether, and that another man had been found. Lord Chelsea, who had a better chance than I should Lave, because he had the Duke of Wellington's interest, has .ng married one of his nieces, and Mackenzie said I was to give way for Lord Chelsea. I said, " I'm sorry Forester mid so, because I have made all my arrange ments, and have friends there, to be off for Dover. " (Laughter) I then received the following letter without date from Cul. Forester : " Carlton Club, Saturday Night. "Dear Col. Dickson,—l have spoken to Mackenzie, and as you seem to wish for Dover I have arranged with him that you should go. I now give you a piece of advice. The gentleman who was with you to-day is, as you stated, a liythe solicitor; he may be of use, but be may have a cos teary effect, because I know there is very oaten great jealousy as to toe interference of solicitors from other places. You, however, will be the best judge ; only take new I shall ba in town at the Carlton et three o'clock.— Tenn Maly, " E. C. FORZIETLa." After having seen Colonel Forester again, he put me in isenunanication with Sir Frederick Thesiger in regard to Abingdon. (laughter.) I have a letter here that Colonel Forester wrote to Sir Frederick Thesiger. It is rather illegible. lam afraid the committee cannot read it. (A laugh.) "My dear Sir Fred.—l wish to know directly from you whether there is any stipulation on year part that General Caulfield shall no: be opposed by any of the conservative party, or whether the agreement only applies to yon per sonally ; as I bare an idea of trying my fortune at Abing don, as a supporter of Lord Derby's goeernment, if you abol'ald consider the party iu no way bound not to contest the borough, upon this °cession, with the General.—J. 0." Sir Frederick hay the letter 1 wrote ; but that is what Colonel Forester Minted me to write. The Chairman said—Yon wanted to know the nature of the aoeusation against you, and we arc proceeding. The committee want to know how Colonel Dickson went to Norwich, and he is and on his road there. (Loud looohter.) Colonel Dickson—l accordingly wrote a letter to Sir Fre derick Thesiger. I could not say to him "My dear Sir Frederick" —(laughter)—bat I said " Conservative Club, March 24, 1802. " Dear Sir,—At the recommen.lation of my friend Colonel Forester, I am thiek.ng of becoming a candidate for Abing don at the next general election, as a supporter of Lord Derby's government, but there being a report at Abi/e g loo that tie eun.er.atave party has, through you, been pl c id that they w 'old not oppose General Caulfield, it is of in portant° to me, before I rut myself forward, to knew from yourself whether any pledge of this kind was given by you ? ' I understand that you only pledged that you yeareelf would not again contest the electien against General Cale field. I shall feel obliged by the favour of an immediate' answer. I should add, that Cilenel Fenster knows of no such pledge, add does not believe that you gave any be yond what I have am. dear sir, yours, faith lolly, " Lotitute Dictum', Lieut.-Col." I then received the following letter from Sir Freab•rick in •! 1 Y Bryinstou-sgeom, March 25, 1862. " Dear Sir, —Although the arrangement between myself sad Ossetal Caulfield was made by our mutual binds, without our personal iatarvention I have no doubt of its nature and eating. It was merely between ourselves an engagement that if he would got oppose me at that elec tion I would not °ppm° fim at the general election. I called a maim/ of my friends before the ognmunication with the friend+ of as general, and they met me again after it had taken place; and upon each occasion I distinctly' impressed upon them that the arrangeineut wes a personal one, confined to myself, and to the electors so far only so I was concerned, and that it was quite open to them to bring forward any other candidate in riepodt'on to General Caulfield at the next elect.oo. So entirety was this a matter between myself and the General, that if his party had brought forward any one else to oppose me at the late election I should have had no right to complain of a breach of faith ; and, indeed, it was rumoured that they did not intend ta allow me quietly to walk over the course. Under these circumstances there cannot be the slightest ohjectiou to your offering yourself as a candidate for Abingdon; but my positioo necessarily prevents my interfering directly or indirectly in your behalf. I .uppose, however, there is no insprooriety in offering you my best niches for your succe-a—Yours very faithfully, FRED. TULSIOIR. •• Lieut.-Col. Dickson, 66, Omen-street." The witness then went on to detail the circumstances of his canvass with Lord Douro at Nerai:h. They had • six weeks' canteen, front 9 to 6 o'clock, and canvassed LOM voters. It was rather as ordeal to go through lie continued—l always intended to go to toe poll. I nes independent of Lord Douro as regarded expenses. We paid our own expenses. I did not go down as the nominee or catspow of Lord Dour,. W. convatsed together, went i • meetings together, and spoke together. (Laughter.) The Carlton Club did not pay a shilling of our exlensei. A few days prior to the polling I went to Lord Dour*, and seeing Mr. Peto'a agent there, I said thinking there was a cross between the partici., „ I hope there is no compromise." Lord Douro said nothing of the sort. Ile has only brought a letter front Peto and Warner signed by them on their words cf honour as gentlemen, saying they will not bribe themselves nor allow their agents to bribe for any consalerati. it. lat first hesitated to sign the paper, and raid, "I don't care what Pete and Warnt r may do, I shall not bribe, I hove no money to bribe, and if I bad I should not." Lord Douroseemed annoyed, and said," If I did not sign he would leave Norwich that morn ing, and as l did not watt to upset the cosch—(laughter)— I said to Douro, 1 will sign." To tell the truth, 1 said, I did not care twopence about the party, and Lord Douro " will you do as I tell you, I see what is the object. lu consequence, I supnose, of his canvass not turning out so good." I told his lordship, " I am not your w mince, you did not pick me up in the highwuss or layeways, and dust I stood on my own bottom. His lordship was annoyed, and was not cordial afterwards, and we have spoken since. I said, "If it is • party wish I will do so," and he said, "Do what I tell you." always expected the other side would bribe. Large tea parties were given by the other side, and it is reported that the other side spent thousands of pounds in this way, and in bands and processions. In fact, they say that the Pete and Warner petty spent 12.000/. or 14,0001., but certainly they carried on the war moat extensively. (Laughter.) They bad • procession, said to cost 8001., the day that Pero and Warner came by the railway. The procession, aecordieg to the opinion of many people en Norwich, was a disgraceful display. On one of the great banners was • representation of officers, with cocked hats, flogging seldiers—(hear, heat),—and on another banner was seen a red flag, with a crown banging at the tail covered with blood. That, and a great many other banners, nut Peto at the atstioe, but he very properly ordered that banner to bo destroyed. The Chairman—From your acquaintance with Norwich, if there had not been a " cross" between the parties, is it your opinion that Mr. Parry would have come in, and that the poor men would have returned him. Witness—l think it was very near it. It was thought it would be better to leave it to Peto than to Parry, and so they floored Parry. (Laughter.) The Chairman said Mr. Pete hail informed him he war perfectly willing to attend the committee and explain his conduct, and then asked the witness—Do you think both , parties intended to bribe a little ? Witaeoa-1 think the opposite party thought wo were lying to bribe a little, because Lord Douro, it was thought, wart au old 7 . The Chairman (Isnmorotuay)—Briber ? Witness—No; I meant to say an old electioneerer, and did not like to be beaten. (Loud laughter.) Oa my war home afer the election I was attacked by the mob, and one of them knocked me on the knee, but I gut into Kerrison's house. Spoke to them from a window and pacified them, and we parted good frieuds. I was waited on by a party in Norwich, and told there were 600 voters that had not polled, and that if I came to terms with them tl.ey would march up in a body, and bring us both is. I said "we don't mean to bribe. No terms were pro poised, but they said eo much • head. (Laughter.) I think dl. or 101. a head. Ono man said he always sold his vote, and that his vote was at our service for 201., and that if he bad 6el. he would vote for Douro. The man polled for Pete and Warner. Uodersreod that tea parties were given by th e ether side to 3,000 men, women, and children. (Laughter.) (Witness here put in a packet of letters re ceived from Litton, showing the fall intention to prosecute the petition, and to show that no authority was ever given to Brown to withdraw it.) On witness telling Browehe must take the consequences, Brown replied, " D—n the consequences. I have done it for the cause of our party." (Laughter.) The hon. Chairman here read a letter that appeared a few days ago in the Daily New from Colonel Dickson relative to the matter of the petition, and which the gallant colonel acknowledged to have been written by him. A party, whose name the witness hoped the committee would not ask bias to divulge, had told him that Brown bad boutad at the Carlton sad elsewhere to Mr. Bagge and others, that he had withdrawn the Norwich petitions, that be had done him a good turn, and had floored or upset Dickson by it. (Laughter.) 1 have also been told (said the witness) that Brown told a member of the Carlton that be knew all about it; that it was not against the West Nor folk that the Norwich petition was withdrawn, but against the Y..ughal, in order to serve Mr. Butt's interest. I would rather not mention the gentleman's name. lie is a man very well known at the Carlton—Cul. Knox. A discussion took place upon an application from Mr. Brown, to be allowed to appear by counsel ; the considera tion of which was deferred till Monday, together with an application from Mr. Wilde, on behalf et the electors of Norwich, to be allowed also to appear by counsel to rebut the charges, alleged by Mr. Wilde to be totally unfounded, against the electors at the last election for Norwich—than Which election, he said, there never was • more pure or un corrupt one. (Laughter.) The committee then adjourned to Monday. • SOUTHAMPTON. - - - The members of this committee met in Committee loom No. 3, at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. Mr. Henry Herbert in the chair. Edward Aitkins, of the Hampshire Banking Company, deposed to Sir Alexander Cockburn having paid hi to the creil it of Mr. Harman, on the 20th August, 3301., and 1251. ; making together 4651. Mr. - Harman recalled, stated that he had given 6001., Mr. Willcox's proportion, to Messrs. Sharpe and Harrison; and I paid away nearly the whole of Sir Alexander Cock burn's 6701. myself. Of Mr. Willeox's 6001. 1501 bad been given to them, and the remaining sum of 4.501. was given to them by me. Several witnesses were called in support of the petition, the substance of whose evidence war, that Mr. B tt had canvassed several electors, that Mr. Sense and Mr. Lankes ter, and Mr. Cex, had also canvassed several of the elec tors, and accompanied many of them to the poll. MALDON. The members of this committee sat for the first time in Committee-ro om No. 9. at 12 o'cleek. Lord Robert Orosvenorin the chair.. The petition alleged bribery and treating. Mr. Edwin James at great length opened the case for the petitioners, and detailed the circumstances attending the election. Robert Archer, • publican at Maldon, had supplied refreshments to persons in his rooms, which were paid for by Mr. Wyatt, but could not my whether any of the voters partook of them ; bin bill, amounting to 111. odd, was paid by Mr. Wyatt; he also was paid another bill by Mr. Couniell over 201., that included lhorse hire and his own loss of time ; he was engaged nearly three weeks; the majority of the bill was for horse hire, :and loss of time. The witness refused to answer the questions of counsel on the ground that they might tend to criminate himself, and subject him to penal consequences. The committee, atter hearing e,unsel on both sides, called upon the witness to answer the question. The esaminstion was continsed, but the witness fenced with every question put to him, but admitted that in • conversatioa that hail taken place there was en implied promise that a bill amounting to 1301. for expenses at the prethus election would be paid if he acted and voted for the string member. CIRENCESTER. The members of this committee met for the first time yesterday morning. The nun. Mr. Lascellea in the chair. After the usual preliminaries.

BOW-STREET. CHARGE OF SENDING THREATENING LETTERS TO PRINCE ALBERT. Edwin Bates, of 10 Welbeck-street, Cavendish square, was ;.nought before Mr. Jardine, upon a warrant, charged with sending a threatening letter to his Royal Highness Prince Albert. The prisoner, who has been frequently at the Mansion- Louse and Bow-street on similar charges, underwent a year's impriaonment in 1850-51, for sending lour ktters to the Prince, demanding the meanie of completing certain mechanical desigus of unprecedented importance to the cation. Since his last confinement (in default of the requi site sureties), he has taken the lease of the above hou , e ; and the officers stated that lie had found the :nears of furnishing it handsomely, and fitting up certain rooms with some description of machinery designed for the ultimate ace nnplishment of perpetual motion. On bsiffig placed in the deck, the prisoner, who is a tall, dark, well-dressed man of about 45, turned towards the reporter's box, and demanded an interview with the representative of the public press. He then addressed the ni.igivrate in a menacing tune and manner, telliEg his worship that his conduct that day, when fully kunwu to the public, amain deprive hint of his scat upon the bench. Ozcasimally, during the evidence, the prisoner spoke with the greatest possible excitement, screaming at the top of his wire, and literally choking with passion. Mr. Lund, the superintendent of • the F division, stated that he proceeded yes'erds) afternoon, in c•.ompany with lusper ter Shaw, of the thteetive force, to execute the war rant, and, after watching the house some time, they saw him leave 10, Welbeck-street, and walk tawards the shop I of a Mr. Reynold., where they joined him. Witness cam municatcd his business to tho prisoner, and falluwed him into the built parlour of his house. The prisoner—My studio, if you please. Witness—He began to tr.lk in a very strange way, staring that he porsessed some invention which would piece the British crown in his power, and was worth 100 millions. He admitted that he had written a letter to Prince Albert, and said that he would use his influence, as the King of the Jews, to get Mr. Jardine, the magistrate, discharged from his seat, for he had persecuted him before. The prisoner (with vehemence)—l said that Mr. Jardine shall suppress hie title, or his title shall suppress him. (With scorn)—What right had you, Mr. Jardine, to insult me by sending me a sovereign ? I did not want your mo ney, and Ido not want Prince Albert's. I have no impro per feeling towards the Prince. Mr. Jardine—l shall be glad if you can =sic.. it appear so. But I think there are passages in the letter which ad mit of a different construction. The prisoner—What passages ? Ills Worship then directed the letter to be read. It was addressed to H.R.H. Prince Albert, Buckiagham•pslace, and was as follows: " 10, Welbeek-street, March 8, 18.53. " Prince,—l desire an immediate reply, as 1 wish to go to the Continent to deposit specifications of the great pitint new engine and motive power in hydrogen—inventions that will greatly change the art of war, and keep the peace of the world by the love of mankind. "I regret that cash was not sent to me lut week. The letters now speak of 2,0001.; one of which may volubly be for the Crystal Palace Company. I may depend upon the honour of the writer, who is well known to the Lord Mayor; but lam troubled in regard to time. I want to start directly. I have urged, therefore, that the I,OOW. may be sent to me immediately after your royalhigkneas receives this letter. _ _ " I must not be trifled with. "The writer may suspect that the Queen, who prefeeses to aid met of genius and advance science, will immediately, from the privy purse, advance 1,0001.; but perhaps the foreign patents will not, for even several of the inventions required as much as 3,0001. lam most anxious to obtain the 1,0001. first mentioned. " Rational acts aro not always on the side of royalty. Lord John Russell stood in the late prosecution three times bet , veen the royal mercy and an innocent man, whom God now makes the champion of truth, with plane no mortal being eau know of. My inventions are worth more than the incomes of the crowns of Europe ; and it would be to fly in the face of the All-wise Dispenserof good gifts to leave the foreign patents any longer in danger of being lost. " They buried the warrior ou my birthday. " Power will be mine. I anxiously look for an immedi ate answer. And I have the honour to be. Prince, your H.R.'s obedient servant, EDWIN BATES. " To H.R.H. Prince Albert. " P.S. I will answer any inquiries thatyour Royal High. ness may immediately direct to be made. I should not have written again if the first advance of cash had not been made, or if your Royal Highness had written me a de nial." The prisoner—lt is impossible for you to understand that letter without seeing these (producing several). I there speak of letters—in a handwriting well known to me. The handwriting of Masteru2an, I will swear. Sergeant Smith, of the Detective Force, Scotland-yard, stated that he was in Castle-street, Oxford-street, on Thurs. day evening, when the Queen, with Prince Albert and the Royal children, arrived at the Princess's Theatre. The royal entrance is at the back of the theatre, in Castle-street; and among the crowd assembled on the occasion to see the Royal patty witness saw the prisoner standing opposite. Witness watched him closely, but could not say if he (the prisoner) saw the Prince. The prisoner—There were several carriages there. Why is this mentioned ? I was not three for any improper pur pose. Did I look as if I was looking after anything ? Hr. W. D. Burnaby, the chief clerk of the court, depo sed that the prisoner was charged on the 21th July, 1853, with seeding four threatening letters to Prince Albert. He was convicted, and in default of procuring the required sureties to keep the peace, was committed to prison for tho term of twelve months. The prisoner made a long rambling statement which embraced nearly every recent topic of interest in the news papers. His occasional viulence was quite alarming. The prisoner was remanded for evidence as to his state of mind, but it is maid that his manner is always rational in the presence of mAlical men.

Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, no return. Sugar, tho produce of the East Indies, no return. BILISTOL, MAacu 11. SOCIAL—The market is very:firm, and tho few boards of West India brought forward this week tare found ready buyers at rather impro►ed rates. In Mauritius a large amount of business has again been trausacted, upwards of 1,6,91/0 mats having been disposed of since our last chiefly ,r arrival, at extreme prices. Refiners' produce has been aol t to a moderate cxteut, but prices are unaltered. Itt: 31 continues neglected. COTTON.—LivsarooL, MAUCH 11.—The very large receipts of cotton at the ports of the United States are pressing more and more heavily upon our market. The excess by the last advice, is 5:34,0d0 bales over thu corn:- •, ondinx period of last year, and will probably be further increased by the next steamer's accounts. With such large figures as the above at this advanced season of the year, it has become the universal conclusion that the crop will prove a very abundant one. Under this conviction, favour able as the state of things is fur a vast co-nsumption during the year, prices of all kinds hive given way i t a greater or less ,l,gree. The middling and low qualities of American are a Lull 41. lower, and in some instances nearly ld. The higher sorts, such as fair and upwards, are less sensibly all. clad. Bursts are also nearly en 4,1. lower. Brazils and Egyptian* dull and heavy, with a turn in favour of the buyer. Marked and obvious as this depression has been, our market, however, bas strongly felt the supporting in fluence arising front a good state of trade, and the fact that the consumer. generally have run oat their stocks. The committee of Brokers place •' fair" Uplands .1,1.1.; Mobile, W.; and Orleans, 60. 1,360 American, and jPs Egyptian, are reported to hove been taken on s;reculation ; an 3,910 of Arm:limn, &id Surat, 110 Egyptian. 10d Bahia, and 10U remain, for export. Sales fur the week, 10,880 bales. WOOL.—LzEus,llAacic 11.—Pricer in English wool for combing and clothing purpos.■ have improved, and the sales have been considerable. In foreign wools the demand has also been good. CORN.—CIIELMBFORD, klatch 11.—There was a smaller snmily of Wheat at market to-day, mostly in bad condition, and buyers were unwilling to operate even at a reduction of Is. to 2s. p e r qr. . • white, -18 s. to 52i.; extra , 335.; red, 109. to 155.; extra, 474. Beans not plentiful, and about the Lime in price, the best qualities making quite as much for ,eed. Barley rather pressing on the mar:Lets, and could be bought on rather easier terms. LINCOLN, March 11.—Our farmers brought a large supply of Wheat to our market to-day, trade dull, at 2s. decline. Good Barley more inquired for, and late prices well supported. The demand for other grain very limited. Wheit, red, 435. to 465.; white, 48s. to 41s. Barley, malting, 30s. to 365. Oats, 20s. to 235. LIVEItrOOL, March 11.—The last three days' receipts into this port, coastwise and from Ireland, include a limited quen•ity of Barley, Oats, and Flour, a few Beans, a fair increase of Malt, and a furth er large ar rival of Oatmeal ; the imports from abroad during that time comprising chiefly a moderate supply of Wheat and Indian Corn, without a superabundant ACCe4gOO of Flour from the United States and France, amounting within the last ten days to 94,132 barrels and 13,446 sacks. This morning's market was very poorly attended ; at a re duction of Id. per bushel on Wheat there was a very limited inquiry, and even a further reasonab:e concession did not appear calculated to produce a greater demand in the present inanimate state of the trade. The pressure of Flour was greater to-day, and several I.arcels were obtained at a decline of Is. per barrel, but we found no general de mand f. r American, and sack Flour ruled very dull at nominally the same reduction. Beans are Is. per qr. lower and slew sale. Fine Oats in tolerable request, but inferior much neglected, and Oatmeal again rather cheaper. Indian Corn, arrived here, is offering la lower both for white and yellow; several cargoes, at calling ports, have been taken through the week; the demand appears about equal to the supply, but, were buyers to hold off, prices would give way a little. Arrivals from tho Bth to the 10th March into Liverpool and Runcorn: Wheat, 4,319 qrs.; Barley, 789; Malt, 3,337; Oats, 3,104; Beans, 304; Indian Coro, 4,374; Oatmeal, 10,083 sacks; Flour, 9,569 inks, 44,4 a barrels. Exports from Ireland :—Wheat, 620 qrs. ; Beans, 16; In. than Corn, 1,773 ; Oatmeal, 242 sacks ; Flour, 300 sacks and 1,045 brim. WAKEFIELD, March 11.—There is a fair supply of grain, but not to the extent buyers had anticipated. the show of Wheat is genorally of low and middling descriptions, and mostly in poor condition; for such the trade is very inac tive, and a decline of Is. per qr. readily submitted to ; but for the best sera close upon last week's rates are maintained. heavy Barley is quite as dear, but the light descriptions only find sale in retail, at rather lower rates. Oats and 81 , ellitig steady. Beans without alteration. Little passing in other articles. Import.; during the week : Wheat 11.008 qrs.; Barley, 3,441; Oats, 1,172; Beans, 1,219; Peas, 183; Shelling, 80 loads. WATERFORD, March 9.—Although we have not had any import of foreig.i grain, and but small supplies from farm ers mace Ssturday list, our market continuis very dull, and prices of all articles in the trade still tend to decline. 1853.

Tke attendance of buy ers was not very numerous ' but those present bought exten sively, for the put pose, we hear, of exporting to Australia ; the cons . qatnce ws that the trade was brisk, and the holders taking altantage of tho heavy demand, asked for an cdvauce a prices, which was acceded to on the pert of the dealers, and a total eloarence effected at au improvement of Bs. to 10s. per ton over the advance of last market fur the ',tiniest samples.
