MARK-LANE.—But little English Wheat has exr:Ted since Monday, and the few parcels left over from that day told fur quite as good terms as were then current. Free foreign was in request, and sales were made at rates which were not obta amble last market day. Several of the Irish millers attended the market, and took off some quantity. Flour maintained the advance noted on Monday. Barley was a ready sale at previous prices ; the value of this article tends upwards. Oats were also held for an improvement of 6d. to Is. per qr., which rather cheekcd the sale. Beans and Peas again rather dearer. The following are Monday's quotations: BRITISH.

I I 59 7 59 14 89 0 HULL, DEC. 22.-Since our last we have had a' great change in the weather, and the inland navigation is again opened. A large business has been done in Wheat during the weeh, partly for Ireland. The demand has been principally of inferior sorts for that part. In other qualities we have also had an t xtensive business forour usual demand, and we quote qualities 31. to 40. per qr. dearer. At this day's market, with a good supply of Wheat from the farmers, our millers tried hard to buy on last week's terms, but in the little busintss done we quote Is. to 24. per qr. higher. The inquiry for foreign slackens, and lest Thursday's prices are not attainable. Of Barley but little showing, mid again dearer. Oats in good demand, and we quote Is. to 2s. per qr. advance. Beans are fully 24. dearer. Peas inquired for a like advance. Linseed as last noted. Lin seed Cakes easier to buy at our quotations. Ham Cakes enquired for and higher rates paid. No Rapeseed on the market, good quality would fetch 271. per last. The fol lowing are the present prices of grain : --Wheat, red, 525. to .565. ; new do., 60s. to 665. ; white, CA*. to 70s. ; new do., 68s. to 70s. • Lanais , 70a. to 725.; Lower Baltic and 11am burgh, 56;. to 65.. Barley, malting, 38s. to 435. ; grinding, 388. to 40s. Oats, 260. to 28s. per quarter ; Danish, 255. to 275.; Russian, 275. to 30s. Beans, 40s. to 483. ; foreign, 445. to 48s ; Peas, white and yellow, 50s. to 565. • Linseed, crushing, 3. 5 t. to 48s. • feeding, 48.. to 525. Rapeseed , per 10 qrs , 271.

Irswlcii, Dec. 22.-Wheat : The supply is still small and prices are fully 5. dearer than last week. Barley: In rnoderat , ly supply but readily taken otf at an advance of 3s. to 4s. upon last week. No Beans or Peas appearing. LEEns, DEC. 22.-Our arrivals of grain are small, hut samples are showing of a few vessels which have made their passage. There is a fair sale for Wheat this morning, hut in expectation of better supplies, millers do not take freely : Friday's prices, however, are fully maintained. Barley fetches rather more money. Oats, Bests, and Shelling without much alteration. Average price of grain : Wheat, 62.. ;11 airy, 455.; Oats, 31s. 4c1.; Beans, 13s. 61. ; l'eas,s7.. 4d. ; Itye, 495. 441. Arrivals this week : Wheat, 1,757 qrs.; Oats, 171 ; Barley, 781; Beans, 511 ; Rapeseed, 14. - LEIGHTON lII*22ARD, ])Ee. 22.-At thii day's market we had a fair supply of Wheat, which mostly found buyers at Is. per load adiance on last week's prices. Barley, Beans, and Peas firm. at full prices. Wheat, per load of , bush., new, 355. to 12s. ; old, 34.. to 395. Barley, per qr. imp., 38s. to 15'. Beans, 2.5 e. to 295. per 5 bush. Peas, 275. to 30s. DF:c.22.-The state of the weather has undergone a complete chance since Friday, the frost entirely disappearing with a shift of wind to the westward ; this has brought up a large accession of supply, the bulk of which consists of Wheat, Indian Corn, and Hour, from the United States; with comparatively moderate arrivals of Barley, Bean., and Pcss, from other foreign countries, and of Flour from BritiA American colonies : the imports from Ireland and coastwise arc trifling, whilst the exports in brth direc tions continue large. We had a tolerable attendance at this day's market, but sales of Wheat in course of the morning proceeded slowly at scarcely the improved rates noted ect Friday ; that day's amendment, however, was ultimately established, and upon the whole u fair extent of business was done. Free Flour, upon a re. stricted sale, was Gd. per barrel cheaper than on Tuesday i last, and of bonded, several parcels were sold at Ms. 6d. per barrel. We rai..e our quotations for Barley, Beans, and Pease, in the proportion above notid, at which amendment sales for consumption to some extent were practicable. Oats and Oatmeal have further advanced, making our currency for best Irish mcaling samples of the former, ss. per 431 b., and for the latter article, 495. to 50s. per 2101 b. The show of Indian Corn for sale was not large, compared with the quantity to hand, much of which had been previously sold for transhipment on arrival ; a fair quantity found buyers at a decline of ls. per quarto. on hite, but without reduction in the value of yellow, from the rates of this day week.

The Paris journals and correspondence of Monday, which arrived this morning, contain no intelligence of general interest. The communication between the capi tal and the provinces continued to be obstructed, and a largo proportion of the mails from every direction were still due. The snow was reported, on many of the great routes, to be front four to six feet deep. The London mails, due at seven a.m., did not reach Paris for several days before the evening. A favourable change, however, suddenly took place ou Saturday night, when the thermometer rose to 10 deg., at which it continued on Sunday and Monday. A rapid thaw, accompanied by rain, caused a total disap pearance of the snow in Paris, on Monday, and it was hoped this change would I e general, and thatthe regu lar communication through mho country would be re established. Meanwhile, the severity of the weather has aggra vated the public distress. The provision markets by which Paris is supplied continue to rise. The price of wheat per hectolitre now varies from 301. to 33f. 60c., which is equivalent to &is. to 735. per quarter. Flour has risen in the same proportion. The bakers of Paris, notwithstanding the smallness of their stocks, venture to make their purchases only from day to day. They lose upon the present price I of bread. It is probable that for the first fortnight in January the price of bread in Paris will be 4Sc. the kilogramme, or very nearly 241. per lb. The following analysis of the Chamber of Deputies, as it will stand in the approaching session, has been circulated in certain circles. We give it without guaranteeing its accuracy, although it probably re presents pretty nearly what the situation of the Cham ber will be :—The ministerial party, led by M. Guizot, 210; the Independent Conservative party, headed by M. Delessert, 32. A section of the Conservatives dis senting from the Ministerialists, represented by Count Mole and Emile do Girardin, &c., '23. The Left and Left Centre, led by Tillers, Dupin, and Barrat, 129. The Extreme Left and Republicans (Garnier-Pages, Arago, Ledru-Rollin, &c.), 31. Legitimists (lterryer, Laroche-Jacquelin, &c.), Total, 439. Ou matters of internal policy, it is not doubtfuli, that the ministry will lam a considerable majority; but on questions of their foreign policy, such as the rupture with England, the Spanish marriages, the Cracow business, Switzerland, &c., their position will be exceedingly precarious. The France, alluding to M. Guizot's note on the Cracow affair, addressed to the French representatives at foreign'courts, maintains the authenticity of the document, notwithstanding the official denial in the Moniteur Parisien. It admits some trifling inaccu racies, and the omission of a short sentence or two, owing to the haste with which the document was transcribed ; but it positively maintains the general accuracy of what it has published, and denies that anything; is left out which can in the least affect the spirit and meaning of this diplomatic paper. It is said that the Bey of Tunis intends establish ing a consul-general at Algiers, and consular agents at Oran, Baugia, and other ports in the French pos sessions on the African shores. The Commerce thus insists on the Bey'B claim to the position of an inde pendent sovereign: Great Britain refuses to recognise the independence of Tunis, which she regards as placed under the guardianship of the Porte: and it appears that the greater number of the other powers of Euror, with respect to this barbaric state, share the opinion of Great Britain, if we are to judge by the absence of the diplomatic corps from the concert given to the prince at the hotel of fureiun affairs. The independence of the Bey of Tunis, however, does not appear to us contestable either as a matter of right or as a matter of fact. The family now reigning has I.smn on the throne since 1705, when it succeeded that of Mural. No intervention of the Porte took place at its secession. The succession to the throne, which remains amongst the members of thiss family,lifetim is not regulated by any fixed law ; the Bey uing his e designates as his successor one of his near relatives who appears to him most adapted for the task of gavernment. Ahmed, the present B e y , has in this way named as his suc cessor Sidi-liamda, one of his cousins. The Bey of Tunis pays no tribute to the Sultan ; he merely sends him present!, as a sort of homage rendered to a supremacy purely religious. The regency is governed its own law!, emanating from its own authority, and not by the legislation of the Divan. The Prince coins mo ne y , and consuls of foreign nations are t fo accredted diecly at this court. It IP, no doubt, allowable r the e Porte r to reg ard us proof of the dependence, tho an nual presents sent by the Bey of Tunis; but in p the inter course between him and t he European powers, it appears to us that this species of feudal homage ought to be com pletely overlooked, and to lose all si n gniticatton, in face of the wr y positive and very real political i dependenre of Ahmed -Bey.

We have one paper from the Cape of Good Hope of the 14th October, and one from Graham's Town of the 3rd. They do not add materially to the informa tion communicated by the last arrival a few days since, bringing papers to the 11th. 'fhe particulars of the conference betwixt Colonel Johnstone and the Gaika chief, arc given now at some length, from which it may be gathered that there will be some difficulty in inducing the Kaffirs to surrender the territory required to the banks of the Kei river, which was one indispensable condition demanded by the governor. Macomo, the principal chief, seemed desirous of yielding the point, but the three other chiefs associated with him, along with Maeomo's own sons, would not agree to entertain the question. The great object contemplated in this extension of boundaries was the better protection of farmers and settlers, by the interposition, in the first place, of the I natural barrier of a river betwixt them and their old aggressive neighbours of the various Kaffir tribes located within and without the regions intersected by that river. Secondly, additional and effective protection would, as proposed, be obtained by settling the river frontiers with Fingoes, Hottentots, and other native*, whose irreconeilcable antipathy to the Kaffirseould not be doubted, and who would thus form a chain of vil lage or fort settlements interposing between the river and the white farmers and estatesmen lo cated more in the interior, so as to re ceive the first aksaults of the Kaffirs, and check their foray., should they cross the river for the pur pose of plunder and depredation. Should the in truders succeed in forcing the advanced guard of defence thus interposed, the farmers would be so timely advised, as to be enabled to gather together from their isolated homeetoode, and proceed to tho as sistance of their native allies, the result of which, in the speedy chastisement of the marauders, need not be doubted. The official despatches represent the operations of Colonel Somerset as eminently success ful in scourin g the Kaffir country, and recovering the stolen cattle to the extent of several thousands. CITY ELECTIONS—TiIIs DAY. This being the last day for polling, considerable activity and excitement prevailed in the contested wards, in consequence of the unfasourahle state of the weather, not withstanding the distance to the hustings in no instance ex ceeded a quarter of a mile, no expense wasspared in bringing up electors, cabs and other vehicles being provided for their accommodation. LAMIWURN WARD returns eight members. Final close of the poll.--The polling commenced this morning I in the ward school-room, Lime-street, and continued until half-past twelve, when it fi nally closed , the numbers being —for Dixon, 93 ; Unwin, 99 ; Howard, 82 ; Snelling, 92 ; Frodsham, 84; Gibson, 60 ; Shaw, 78 ; Miller, 57 ; Gride, 53 ; Surr, 19; Brooke, 9.—Tho Lord Mayor, who presided it the absence of Sir J.

Alderman Challis declared the first eight returned to serve in the Court of Common Council. BASSISHAW Wattu.—At the adjourned wardmote, held in the vestry room of St. Michael's Church, Basinghall.street, the presiding alderman declared the following gentlemen duly elected :—Mcssrs. Bretton, Lister, Wilson, and James. FISHING Comr.tNY.—A curious circumstance presented in the abandonment, at least for the present, of the project for establishing a company to prosecute the whale and seal fishery in the northern seas. The capital proposed to be raised amounted only to 2:30,000/., and the prospect of, at all events, fair success could hardly be considered doubtful, since the trade is one which proves productive in the hands of the Americans, and there is no reason to ssume a dill. ciency of maritime skill and energy whi a ch should ren der us unable to secure a similar result. But neither an influential direction nor the grant of • royal charter has proved sufficient temptations. The failure is to be regretted because the experiment promised many national advantages, among which would have been an endeavour to raise the cha racter of our seamen, while the principles on which it was to have been carried out precluded the possibility of any se rious loss. That a strong faith in the feasibilityof the scheme existed among those by whom it was brought forward. was shown by their personal readiness to subscribe, one of them alone having consented to contribute 15,0001. Morniny paper. COMMERCIAL 8' MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. INf-past Tiro o' Clock—We have a firm and im proving stock market to-day. Consols were first quoted this morning at 931 to 1, but some few purchases, with the evident disposition among dealers to carry them further, raked the prices satin afterwards to 03; to 4, at which they are still maintained, but with trans actions of less consequence than might have taken place but for the advance. The rise in foreign exchange yesterday, was not perhaps without its influence in producing this improvement in the tone and quotations of the market. Exchequer Bills are Ss. to 12s. premium. In foreign stocks there is no particular movement. Spanish are a fraction higher ; the Fives, 261 to ; the Threes, 371 to 8. The Belgian papers report that the pr longed absence of Senor Borrajo, the Spanish agent for financial affairs in London, who had been appointed to confer with Mr. liendsrson, the agent of the Spanish committee, and for that end was to be recalled to Madrid, had led that gentleman to request that some other party might be named instead. In consequence, Senor Pareja, the Chief Clerk in the Ministry of Finance, had been em powered to the end. There had been a long con ference between him and the agent, in which the desire of the Spanish government to enter into some satisfactory arrangement, was strongly manifested by Senor Pareja, but the only practical result of the meeting was, that he should draw up a detailed report of the propositions with which Mr. Henderson was charged to be submitted to the finance minister. On the return of Senor Borraio, there was to be a general conference for the discussion of the pro ject presented. It remains to be seen whether Senor Borrajo's return, so suspiciously dela; ed, will be now expedited, and what may be the result, about which the bondholders arc by no means sanguine. So far there would seem to be a system of procrastination only followed. Portuguese are 38 to 40 ; Mexican, d 3 to 4. ENGLISH VIJNIXi. Bank sleek, 2031 6i Ditto for Acct., 93; 4 3 per Ct.

NIANUFACTURES. ------• - Ht urltltsptsLu, DEc. 22.--There have been more merchants iu our Piece Hall to-day than for some time past, but their operations have been very limited. Yet we look upon their pre. nee as something indicative, and hope that they will operate more freely when the new year sets in. The clothiers in this part of the country begin to think that, if the Amy& ins art upon the principle of reciprocity, more business must be done to America in the ensuing year than for many years past, seeing th.tt they !vote sent more grain into the United Kingdom daring the last few months than for nuy previous whole year. Prices, for an kind• of Woollen goods, remain firm, with a tendency to advance. CHEESE.

Silt CHARLEs MORGAN'S CATTLE SHOW—This exhibition, which this year we might naturally have antici pated would not have been attended as heretofore, conse quently on the decease of the lamented and venerable Baronet of 'jr. timer, was altogether an average one, and its general character was sustained on an equality with post years. Some of the fat cattle were mag nificent animals, but the inferior and lean stock were of an indifferent character. The pigs and sheep were greatly admired, and there was it good display . of poultry and other agricultural produce.
