Although not so Imp as many of the line-of-battle and other won/ steamers recently completed at this dockyard, the Orpheus is, nevertheless, one of the finest of the clam of screw corvettes which have best comparatively recently introduced into the Raglan\ navy. She was laid down on the 12th May, 1868, sad has been constructed from the de sisms of Admiral Sir Baldwin W. Walker, K.C.8., Con troller of the Navy, by Kr. O. W. Lang, master ship wright.

Her armament will be a very heavy one, and will consist of 20 8-inch 60-cwt. guns, each 8 feet 10 inches in length, and 1 pivot 96-cwt. gun, of 10 feet in length. Her machinery will be of 400-hone power. The Orpheus will be got ready for immediate service. Another screw steamer, to be adled the Reindeer, of 17 gnu', will be commenced directly on the same slip.

SPORTING. THE NEWCASTLE, CHELMSFORD, AND IPSWICH MEETING& TO TIM ZDITOZ OF TO ICIP2/18.• But, —The four day. sport in Hampshire was as unfortunate as possible in regard to the weather, and yet the grand day at Stockbridge was in every way worthy of such • racing locality, the eight races decided bringing together an average of ten starters each, while many of them were fraught with great importance. The /import Handicap proved • decided success, nearly one-half of the acceptors going to the post, and I take some little credit to myself for having come to such a just conclusion when re dwing it to • "matter of health for Northern Light or Ariadue, first mei second. In reviewing the Ascot running I 'apt:tined the Light's defeats there, on account of his sticking in the mod, and bow such • mistake could be made las to give the Dee Stakes winner 6st 4lb in a rather heavy handicap is difficult to imagine. They might well have been sanguine with Crater for the Royal Hunt Cup, after trrog ham, for his getting thud—he might, perhaps, have bred second—to Northern Light when conceding 201 b., r meg him a great horse, and I question whether his supenor can be found just now • it was doubtless this performance which helped Rattlebirne to the position of first favounte fur the Goodwood Stakes after he beat Cheesecake, &c., for the Stewards' Cup, as Captain Christie's mare was a good second to Crater at Ascot • still, it must pot be forgotten that Cheesecake runs fearfully " in and out " this season, and Rattlebone may be a little mar-rated if any attempt is made to follow her. Cade, band and Rupee ran very moderately, the latter stopping on her own account brag before she was really Witten, and the old horse did not show within • stone of his old form, so that if the Northumberland Plate were to travel a fourth time into Mr. Forster's hands it would cause Sls i urprisie then erwr.Thetwoyear old winners —Dundee, tus, and Cynic—are far in advance of all others in Derby betas& and plr. Merry's horse did H. Damon greet cassia as a for he went over the seven furlongs like an old head, and beat • good.lool tog field with all the worst of the weights—my star being again in the ascendant, as the three first past the post were absolutely placed by me to your impression of Monday last. Dtophantiss, in the ab sence of quicksilver and Parasite, hail nothing very gay to beat, and Mr. Merry got • good line of him wi th the colt by Oulatou, who was within half a length of winning ; thus, if Dundee is a stone better than the unnamed gentleman (as is asserted) Lord Stamford must discover something half • stone superipr to Diaphantlis to compete with Mr. Merry next veer. The tide that has so long run against Lord Clifdim is evidently turning, for he possesses • rare two . year-old in Cynic, whuse i performaece in the Biennial le almost equal to Dundee's, as lie " lust " Big Ben, and she Shillelagh, ',holies the Champigniat Bibury so very easily ; and had be not met with an accident in the spring which will aloe,. place his leg under suspicion, half the odsll now offered again.t him for the Derby would he worth taking. The prospect at Newcastle, Chelmsford, and Ipswich is a gloomy outs for those wishing good sport, the programme of the north country meeting being under the average, and even the Northurnberthed Plate is not the great cant It used to be. On Tuesday there is the North Derby, for 3.yr olds, one mile awl three-quarters, where Vanquisher has only to beat I'. Dawson's pair, Sir William and Horace, and the "spate may be discovered in the van once more, my greatest doubt bring whether he can vanquish Sir William. The same colours are formidable for the Members' Plate, shoat one mile, with Sabreur, :tyre, fist 21b, suppo sing the honorees cut down the feather, it alkington, 3-yrs, tot Jib, whom Be verley psrforinsacee wereeo creditable. The winner would just escape the 6lb penalty in the Northiunherlaod Plate, and Edmund Kean, 3 yra, eat 21s, with Shafto, 4 yrs, 7st 91b, might join issue, but the young ime would not jeopardise his Northumberland Plate chance by showing at Beverley, and while presuming on his athecoe, my ideas are in favour of Walkington, to be followed by Sabreur. Dummy, and Shafto. The Tyro and Grand Stand Stakes will both fad Sir C. !Lunch's representative pretty handy, and hi I Cirmadier is not badly treated in the Lionised Victuallers' Handicap. looking at the company.

His party am, however, too cunning for the market ever to indicate their intentions, and I should be the last to mien. • liberty being taken with Benjamin. Butterfly, even supposing she has not this horse to beat, is giving • lump_ of weight to Bivouac, First Lord, Edmund Loin, and Wildman, who have some staunch friends, two at lean having dose " good things" at home ; and her Epsom and Ascot victories will scarcely jurtify . the position th e holds in the. ma r k e t. Edmund Kean is much fancied by his owner's stable, and I shall depend on he or Wildman upsetting the " pot," taking Ben Webster in preference to either if at the starting post, The other evade are either incomplete or dependent on the first and second day's running, the Corporation Plate especially. The Chelmsford meeting takes place on Taeeday and Wed. aesday, and there are something more than platers in the Great Beddow Two Year Old Stakes, fflivworth sad the po hemlenne colt having distinguished themselves more than mom ; one or two "dark" saimals may join i sue with these, and Blisoorth, with his 4th penalty, will not have a very rd time of it. although it oa the tants for him to win.

On Thursday a meeting of the Council of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce was held, for the par pies of taking into consideration the report of the deputa tion to Paris on the subject of the tariff ; Mr. Sampson S. Lloyd in the chair. In concluding their report, which is •very long =Nth,* deputation express an op ri that, fr om all they saw and could learn, they have no doubt but that the French government wish fora good trade to be carried on between England and France, and that all steps taken by the present Conseil Superieur du Commerce seem to have but one situ, viz., the creation of a scale of duties which would produce • good revenue for France. Of course the French manufacturers are alarmed at an English competi tion, and their government cannot redone them • hearing. It would be a strange reran if the French manufacturers did succeed in permed* • body of the most intellectual ism France can muster to impose duties upon English manufactures, which would reader the commercial treaty a dead letter. In England we seem desirous of swag the effect of the treaty to became the means of • large export el our rode to France. In hence, however, the govern. meet is simply compelled to arrange the male of dubs, so that, in the revenue they will produce, an equivalent will be found for the eighty millions which hare already been searifloed in the sugar and coffee duties, in azdeeipaties of the revenue to be derived from • large inipertatioa at Eng lish goods into Prance . They mention with great pleasure the ambiance and kind attention received from the English commkninnen, Meows. It. Cobden, Mallet, and Opl at their °alms, where, as it was said, the treaty was bong made afresh, so as to amend • former blunder. They were furnished by the English commimioners with every infor mation, and any papers relating to the treaty wished for ; but could not discover the fresh or amended treaty PO often spoken of by newspapers as being months ago in course of nianufaoture. They had still to deal only with the treaty and its clauses, as signed at Paris on the aka! of January last, and which, at the time, was so much eulogued by ear leading journals. It was moved by Mr. Van Wart, seconded by Mr. Wood, and resolved unanimously, "That the best thanks of the council sad chamber am due to Mr. Wag er sad Mr. Fletcher for their ex er ti ons i n thi s matter. It appearing that a second journey to Paris would be necesery, it was moved byMr. Van Wart, seconded by Mr. Browett, " That Mr. Wagner and Mr. Fletcher continue to act until the question is finally settled." It was also resolved that the report be printed in the shape of a pamphlet, and circulated among the members of the chamber. THE EXHAUSTION OP THE STOCKS OP FODDER AND THE HIGH PRICE OP ANIMAL FOOD. (From the Mosey Markd &vier.) We make no apology for calling attention to a few considerations relating to the supply of food other than cereals. The food question, whether as affecting man or beast, is uhquestionably one of primary importance. There is en obvious connexion between the present remarkable exhaustion of the stocks of fodder in this country and the exsmordinary high price of butchers' meat ; and an impel.. tent influence is thereby exercised upon the consumption of other articles of produce. Animal food is more largely con earned in England than in any other country in Europe and when its purchase occasions an unusual drain upon the pockets of the population, they have, of course, the less to spend upon other articles. They must economise both in this and in other directions. If the working man's wife ' finds that, after providing a bit of meat for th e S un d a y' s dinner, the week% wages will not suffice to buy some little ordinary luxury—or if the working man himself is com pelled to content himself with one ounce of tobacco instead of two—the effect upon the general consumption, and even upon the revenue, may not be of an infinitesimal character, for the abstinence, which is • trifle in a single household, assumes different propel lions when it is repeated in a mil lion of households. A good deal has been said about the prospect of a late and deficient grain harvest, but sufficient attention does not seem to have been directed to the effects—less important, it is true, yet still considerable—of a prospective deficiency in the hay crop. Owing to the long continuance of cold wet I weather, the grass has acquired neither the height nor the we jell' usual at this season ; sad there is reason to appre hend that when the hot weather, now due, sets in, the forcing process to which it will suddenly be subjected will not do much to improve the prospect' of the farmers and graziers. But there is another feature which points in an equally strong manner to • deficient hay-crop. The stocks of fodder are so completely exhausted that it bas become necessary to have recourse already, to an unusual extent, to the growing crops of grass. The extraordinary duration of wintry we ither has causer! the farmers' proission for the cattle to be completely eaten up, and the consequence is that, except in those instances where them is capital to fall back upon, it becomes necessary to anticipate the hay har vest. Over an unusual breadth of country the cattle have been turned into the progressing meadows ; and even indif ferent observers, passing across the country at railway speed, can scarcely fail to have been struck by the extent to which the scythe has already been at work. Along every country road may be seen scores of carts laden with the and immature produce, now imperatively required g reen and consumption. The operation of nature is this year too slow for the fanners necessities. They cannot wait until the crop arrives at maturity. These evidences of sacrifice furnish an idea of the straits to which the farmers have been driven, and an explanation of the high price of butchers meat. And the very circum stance that, after exhausting the stocks of roots, hay, and other food for cattle, the agriculturists are obliged to resort thus early to the vase crops, indicates that the price of animal food will probably remain at an unusually high point for • coasiderable time to come. Amongst other features, there has been a bad lambing season, and for all the sacri fices which have been imposed upon them, the agriculturista must be compensated in some form or other. A little ob servatica will show that the form of compensation is earl ous, and that it appeals tangibly even to the most unreflect ing. One effect es the prospect of a late, deficient, and, therefor*, dear clip of wool in the United Kingdom. Throughout the woollen districts the high price of the raw material forma a standing topic of complaint amongst the manufacturers. Yet this condition appears to be by no means inconsistent with a healthy state of trade ; and the high priced wool constitutes another form of compensation to the fermers. For similar reasons the production of home tallow has fallen off greatly, causing a marked increase in the demand for foreign, and the tallow market shows indi cations of response. Our object is attained if we have suggested the materials fora few useful reflections upon a duo of economical sub jects which, though affecting intimately the intervda and well-being of • large section of the population, receive odi aarily very little attention in public, probably on account el their homely character.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Jums 23. &Mop at Niel Priam for lliddleeex.—(Before the Lord Chief Justin sad Special! Juries.) ISAWARD V. VIALEDIN. - - - This was a case which was part heard on Friday, and his lordship only sat today for the purpose of con. eluding it: It was an action by the plaintiff, who is a solicitor and the town clerk of B4c.kburn, against the printer and pub lisher of the Blackburn Standard, a conservative news. paper, for • Sethi Of libels published and concerning the plaintiff, in the early part of . this year. Mr. Seward, having practmed as a London solicitor for 25 years, was brought down to Blackburn in April, 1850, and was elected town clerk to the borough in opposition to a local gentleman who received the warm support of the tory =tie exten s Vge strength umstance Of t ll Cartiryle'lx=laager the plaintiff, and of which he complained in the present action. It appears that the corporation of Blackburn, having constricted a large sewer for the purposes of general drainage, had an action brought against them by hissers. William and Thomas Eccles, large millowners in the town, to recover damages on account of the injure done to the property of the Marrs. &des through the interference of the corporation, in the execution of their improvement works, with a stream which supplied the Messrs. Eccles with water. However, the case having been referred to arbitration, Mr. Serjeant Atkinson, the arbitrator, after a hearing of twenty days, awarded the Messrs. Bodes can peneahon to the amount of 8001., they having made a de mand upon the corporation to the extent of 80,0001. The plaintiff was appointed to come up to London to attend the arbitration se attorney for the corporation, and accompanying him were the Mayor, Mr. Alderman Boyle, Town-councillor Smith, and Mr. Brierley, the sur veyor to the corporation. The arbitrator having made his award as stated, the series of libels complained of 00111- mewed. They charged the plaintiff with having disgraced the corporation by his conduct whilst in London, and with having withheld the aid which he was bound to give them in his capacity as attorney in the matter of the arbitration ; with having made himself the latighing-stock of the circle in which be particularly desired to 'tend well. The interests of the corporation were not *eh in such bands ; his de linquencies had been too great to permit of his continuance in office. He failed to turn up when wanted, and although London life could bring no novelties to him, yet his vaga ries were such that for two whole days he had been non inventors ; and then, baying been sought with the aid of the police, he was found intoxicated, and with 2801. in his pocket. This reference to the 2801. is explained b the circumstance that the sum had been dep o sit e d with the plaintiff as treasurer in order to defray the expenses of the civic expedition. The libels likewise particularly dwelt on the fact that the plaintiff was frequently absent from the consultations with counsel. Stich was the nature of the libels which the defendants undertook to justify. On behalf of the plaintiff Mr. Overend, Q.C., and Mr. Russell, of the Northern Circuit, who were the counsel for the corporation before the arbitrator, were called, and they distinctly proved that the interests of the corporation had not in any way suffered in the cause by the absence of the plaintiff. They certainly remembered upon one occasion complaining of the absence of a witness named Montgomery, whom it was intended to have before them in order to know what he could prove, but eventually the witness was forthcoming. The fact was, the cue was one for engineers, and not attorney, and an attorney absent or present could be of very little use. Serjeant Atkinson, the arbitrator, gave general evidence to the same effect, and proved that the compensation awarded to the Mews. Eccles was only 8001., whereas they demanded 80,0001. The Mayor, Mr. Alderman Boyle, and Mr. Town Coun cillor Smith, were next called, and their evidence, which went to describe the manners and customs of the civic ex corsioniata during their stay in London, afforded great amusement. They evidently lad great fears as to the treat ment which they might expect in London, for they left their watches behind them at Blackburn ; and the plaintiff, as on old inhabitant, up to all the wickedness and trickery of town, was entrusted with the keeping of the common purse. What, then, was their state of alarm when it was discovered that Seward disappeared suddenly at 12 o'clock on the night of Friday, the 21st of November, having with him the whole resources of the party. Th roughouti the entire of Saturday he was absent, nothing being seen of him until Sunday afternoon, when note was received by the mayor from the absent own-clerk, dated China-v, •k, Lam beth, informing the worthy mayor where he was. It would seem that Mr. Seward left the hotel late on Friday night, slept out, and spent next day at the Crystal Palace, and slept at the hotel there on the Saturday night. On the Sunday on his way home he called in China - walk, Lam beth, for the purpose, as he explained, of looking for a pair of black swans for the mayor, and it was concerning these that he despatched the note above referred to by the mayor. However the terrors to which the worthy corporator, were subjected on this occasion was the only inconvenience which they had suffered from the absence of the plaintiff, while in no way had the general interests of the corporation been ever compromised by him. It was quite true the police lad been applied to to discover the lost town clerk, and that they recommended he should be proclaimed in the liar test cm This, however, was not done. It was alio true that when he turned up, the town clerk was found to have the whole of the 2801. in his pocket ; and it was Rendes a fact that on the Monday the mayor was appointed treasurer to the party, vice Seward deposed. Sill the material interests of the corporation had been in no degree neglected, and although Mr. Seward might have been a Hale drunk sometimes, yet that was after dinner, when it was no consequence, The principal witness for his defence was the surveyor to the corporation, but this witness and the plaintiff had bad frequent disagr eements. He maintained that Mr. Seward had been often absent from consultations, and that the counselfor the corporation hadbeen greatlyinconvenienoed by hisabsenes. Mr. Seward was often drunk, and he used to go to bed very late. Mr. Seward left the hotel at 12 o'clock on Friday night, sad he remained away until Sunday afternoon. At this stage of the proceedings the jury interposes!, and said it was useless to try the question any further, it was pure loss of time. Ilia Lordship likewise put it to Serjeant Parry whether, after the evidence of Mr. Overend, Mr. Russell, and Serjeant Atkinson, it was possible for him to get a verdict on the charge that had the o . F . E; m l t a i ;;iff mirfresta been re te damnified th li n on egiect that toe t pl !i tina conduct in London had not been befitting the occasion or the representative of the corpora. lion. Mr. Berjeant Parry, having consulted his client, said he was unable to act upon his lordship's suggestion and to settle the matter, as Ms client believed he was entitled to a verdict. _ Some further evidence therefore was called on behalf of the defendant, including the waiter at the hotel and the engineer to the company, sad the counsel on both sides baring addressed themselves to the jury, Hie Loedabip summed up, end against the plaintiff, on that part of the charge which questioned the propriety of his conduct in Loudon. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—amazes 175/. This case concluded the sittings, and on Monday (this day) will commence the sittings at Guildhall. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. Jun 23. (Before the Judge Onlimey.) WYXAN V. 1181iWZI.L. This was a snit relating to IYs wills of Mrs. Anne Miller, • widow, who died in Kensington place on the 25th of September, 1858. The plaintiff propounded a will, dated the 23rd of July, and the defendant another dated the 19th of September in that year. Dr. Phillisore,Q.C.. and Dr. Tristram appeared for the se em' will; Ed r. Serjeant rigoit and Dr. Waddilove for the plain tiff, who on this occasion contested the validity of the later instrument on the ground of undue influence and want of capacity. The property in dispute was about 1,500/. in value. The maiden name of the testatrix waaCreed She was the ille gitimate daughter of a person whowesafterwards married to • Mr. Rachel. The defendant's wile was a Wens of this Mr. Rachel. In 1851 the testatrix wee married to Mr. James Miller, • ten grocer in St. Mary-axe ; sod Mr. Miller died seven years after, leaving him affairs in an involved state. Mr. Ashwell state d that he had exerted himself to put them in order, a service for which she expressed the greatest gratitude. She also promised to leave her pro perty to him and his wife for their lives, with remainder to their children. After this she went to live in their house ; but she began to betray habits of gross intemperance. Mr. Anhweil remonstrated with her, and she left him. She then formed an acquaintance with the plaintiff, who had been in the service of Lord Carew, but who was then keeping &bier-shop. It was alleged that he had proposed to marry her ; and that afterwards dis covering that he had already • wife, ~be had broken off the intimacy, sod returned to the Ashwells. She had •It of delirium tremens on the sth, sod another on the 15th of September, 1858. She was attended by a medical practi tioner named Spencer, who advised her friends that if she had any affairs to settle, she had letter attend to them without delay. The will was secordiugly drawn up, and it was attested by Mr. Spencer, sod a clerk who was lodging in the seine house. Mr. Spencer admitted, on cross-examination, that her language on the day uo which the will was executed was at times incoherent ; and the other attesting witness said that when be was called into the roses he found ►er looking eery ill, very weak, and very wild.

The insolvent, a potato salesman in High-street, Rateliff, was opposed by Mr. Dowse on the part of the landlord, Mr. Levitt. The insolvent had rented the house some time and owed some rant. He was required to give up posession, as Mr. lease expired at Lady-day, and a question might arise whether he was further liable. The case was before Mr. Deputy Commissioner Nichols, and be required possession to be given to Mr. Levitt before he adjudicated upon the case, intimating that it was not a case in which be could give an immediate discharge, from the conduct the insolvent had pursued towards Mr. Levitt.

MARKETS. 001TON.—Lavezpooi, Jour 23.—There has been a fair inquiry for cotton to-day, without change in prices. The sales are 10 000 bales, including 9,180 American, at od. k 4 82d.; 70 6 Surat, 22d. to 32d. ; 100 Egyptian, 81d. ;20 Poniard, 72d.--of which 3,000 are for speculation and ox. port Today's import is 45 bales. COTTON oOODB.—lfaxarearmi, Juice 23.—There has been more or less business done this week in all kinds of goods, but it has been on a less Kale than production, and consequently prices continue to droop, though not to the extent reported last week. The improvement in de mand at the commencement of the week for India ahirtinp and other cloths, slight as it woo, appears to have been loirt, through Ithe im 'oo left on the minds of exporters by the advice" to hand from Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras sines Tuesday. Printing clothe are scarcely so thin as last week, though still relatively better sup ported than other fabrics. There is some demand for light long cloths, but most of the sales made have been for small quantities. In T cloths the trade continues much as last week, with scarcely so much doing, and prices still in clining downwards. India shirting'. 36-inch shirting', and *comets rather weaker in value, the demand being very limited. For domestics rather lower offerefare made, bet sellers are difficult to move, the demand keeping pace nearly with the production. A slightly better feeling is reported in the yarn market, as on Tuesday, but it is chiefly confined to water twist suitable to China and the continent. India mule is scarcely so firm. The market continues very irre gular, and consequently quotations are difficult to fix. WOOLLEN.—Luce, Rine 23. There was only • moderate attendance of merchants in the Halls this morn ing, and the market was rather flat. The transactions were pnncipally in broad cloths, but as • rule they were and appeared to be of • sorting-up character. The un settled state of the weather causes considerable anxiety, and induces • corresponding amount of caution in the operations of trade at present. HARDWARE.—Buturrouar, JUxx 23.—There is a subdued tone about the reports in reference to the state of trade of this town ; but notwithstanding that such is their character, trade is by no means so lad as it has been re presented, as is evidenced by the smallness of the number of persons out of employment, and the steady trade which is being done at nearly all the large manufactories, and it is only at very few establishments that they are making goods for stock. A few of the fancy trades are dull, as are also others which are dependent upon the winter trade ; but, upon the whole, there is nothing approaching to depression. The iron trade is steady ; the private meeting of the iron maate.s will be held next week at the Stewponey, at which the pace of finished iron for next quarter will be fixed, but no alteration in the present scale is expected. CORN.—Catanunos, JUN. 23.—We had • vary dull market, without any change in price from hat week. to 28e. Wheat, 52.. to 66a. ; white, 58e. Beans, 445. Oata, 22e.

Coteneerrs, JuNz 23.—A moderate supply of wheat declined from la. to N. per qr. Barley very short supply and price rather lower. Peas and beans unaltered. GLOUCESTER, JUICE 23.—The weather continues very un settled, with occasional heavy rain. The market to-day was thinly attended, but the supply of English wheat was good and experieuced a dull vale at last week's rates. Foreign held firmly. Barley, beans, and peas fully as dear. The oat trade continues very inactive, and scarcely any trans actions took place. Imports of the week ending June 23 : Wheat, coastwise, 390 qrs. • foreign, 6,000. Oats, Ire land, 1,120 ; foreign, 640. Bundries, coastwise, 530. G CILDFORD,JI3IOt 23.-Therevnui a good supply of wheat, for which • slight advance was demanded, but buyers were indisposed to yield, 7satly not much business was done. late isles were where transaction, occurred. Wheat, Ns. to 68s. ; y, Me. to 35e. ; oats, 245. to 30e. ; beans, 42* to 46e. HIZTFOID, Jcas 23.-We have bad • fine day for the market ; supply of wheat fair • trade heavy at last week's prier; except for best parc els less money was obtained. Barley made last week'. prices. Oat., peas, and beans were a heavy trade at barely .o good prices. Wheat, 23.. to 375. per load ; barley, 28a. to 355. per qr. ; cats, 22r. to 30s. per qr. • peas, 255. to 28s. per load ; beans, 25a. to 30.. per load. Larcsirrmt, Jam! 23.-We had • fair show of wheat from the farmers at our corn market today, and the attendance of the trade was pretty tolerable for the season. Business was fiat, at a decline of Is. per quarter; white qualities moved off at from 575. to 60s. ; red, 54a. to 565. per 36 stone. There was an exceedingly small show of malting barley, which met a very languid demand, and prices were quite as low as those obtained on the week previous, samples making 38e. to 445. per quarter : grinding ditto was in moderate request, and supported its value, 345.. to 36e. per 30 stone being the current rates. The inquiry for oats was tolerably good, and the supply being small, late quota tions were well sustained ; old, 33.. to 365. ; new, 30.. to 345. per 24 stone. Of beans the show was by no means plentiful, and the amount of business transacted was fair, at fully recent terms-old, 48e. to 50a. ; new, 46e. to 495. per 38 stone ; fine flour, 435. ; seconds, 41s. ; thirds, 39a. per sack. NEWCASTLE. JITN6 P3.-The weather this week for the need part has been dry. On Thursday a thunderstorm pissed over the town, when we had about an hour's heavy rain, and a slight fall last night ; today is wild and unset tled, and like more min. The trade daring the week has rated exceedingly quiet. and although the arrivals continue good, such is the confidence of holders of • sally shortly occurring, based upon the appearance of • late harvest, that importers, rather than take less money, prefer taking their cargoes to warehouse. We may further remark that some portion of the coasting receipts has passed direct into the hands of our millers, a quite sufficient cause of itself to account for the present inaction. Best runs of south country rod have oommanded 595., extra 60s. Gd., mixed Ills„ and • choice parcel of old Suffolk 595., all per 50411,5. respectively ; whereas old red Stettin, wirtially sprouted, has been quitted at 55a. 6d., a cargo of new Hol stein red at 80a., and a little superior high-mixed Beatific at 645. per 5041b5. Flour boa sold steadily at full rates. In other articles little change has oc. curried, the liminess; at the same time being trifling. At our market this morning we had an extremely . moderate show of wheat from the growers, and such descriptions, on account of their freshness, being required for mixing, a clearance was effected without difficulty at the jery rates of this day se'nnight. In south country or foreign little was done, holders feeling unwilling to accept the terms offered, but in Scotch yellow transactions to a fair extent occurred, at 58e. to 58s. &I. per 50411. Flour scarcely met so much attention, butin it. velure we quote little variation. Grinding barley in moderate request, with prices about sus tained. Malt held firmly. In beans and peas little stirring. The arrivals of mita being beyond primal requirements a reduction of fully Is, per qr. was conceded upon the limited business done, the main bulk, however, will have to go to warehouse for want of buyers. The erri;als thin week are :- Wheat, coastwise, 3,352 qrs.; foreign, 6,880. Bye, foreign, 15. Barley, coastwise, 50; foreign, 100. Malt, coestwae, 45. Oats, coastwise, 886 ; foreign, 2,996. Pees, foreign, 90. Flour. 740 sacks. Nounica, JONI 24.—The supply of wheat was only moderate at today's market, end the Sumer not being dis posed to submit to lower prices, comparatively little limi ness was done. Quotations were about lc per qr. under the rates of this day se'nnight. le barley oats. beam, and peas little doing. White wheat is quotedthis morning Ws. to Ma ; red ditto, 66a to 00e. per qr. Maur, 400. per each from the miller. The weather up to Thursday was very stormy and tempestuous, and each day much rigs fell ; mace thaw we have lad wens dry weather. NOTTINOBAN, JUNE 23.—At our corn market this morn. ing there was a moderate show of wheat, both old and new, and samples generally came to hand in pretty fair condition. Late rates were fully sustained ; old white descriptions were disposed of at 58s. to 64.. ; old red, 575. to 61s. ; new white, 575. to 64e. ; new red, 56e. to 61s. pee 36 stone. Thu show of barl e y was very small, and the demand for malting was about on a par with the supply, consequently prices were in favour of the buyer ; grinding sorts were firm, and sold at 325. to 335. per 30 stone. For oats a fair consump. tivo demand was experienced, and holders succeeded in realising the currencies of last week ; old, 275. to ; new, 295. to 345. per 24 stone. Beans were a scanty show, and with a good demand late rates were fully maintained, and fine qualities were the turn higher ; old , 48s. to 525. ; new, 465. to 48s. per 38 stone. Super flour, 435. to 46, ; fine ditto, 395. to 425, per 20 stone. OXFORD, JUNX 23.—The supply of wheat today w:l4 Spin large, with few purchasers, last week's price. long fully maintained ; the same remark will also apply to other kinds of grain. PITERBOROUGH, JUNE 23.—At our market to-day we had a fair supply of wheat, which met • slow male at barely the prices of this day week. Barley, none offering. Oats slow sale. Beans fully as dear. Wheat, bolt red, 575. to 58s. ; common ditto, 555. to 565. pe r 50411 e. ; 32Ita. cats, ls. lid. to ls. 4d. per stone ; team, 47e. to 48 s . p er 5 READING, Jr= 23.—The report. of the sriculturists this morning as to the condition and o f the grow. Mg crops are extremely unfavourable. They state that no improvement is visible as compared with last week, and that the wheat crop must fall short of an average one in this district, The gloomy and louring weather this morning tends to keep up this opinion and to strengthen it. Our market was tolerably well supplied with wheat, and holders were rather firm in their demand, but • disinclina tion being shown to purchase, the trade ruled very dull and late prices were hardly supported. Barley is a nominal trade ; oats are still dear, and beans and peas unaltered. Rotirrarza, Jere 23.-The market this week was but sparingly supplied, ass! the attendance was not so large as usual. There was but little business transacted in wheat, and only a few parcels changed hands at previous quotations. The best sorts of white ranged from 54'si. to 625., and other kinds from 525. to 565, ; best qualities of red were done at 54e. to 58e. There was mutely a single transaction in barley, but the rates were very firm, and in some instances 6d. per quarter advance was demanded. Oats came forward in rather smaller quantities, and as food for cattle is now becoming abundant, the demand is not No brisk for that article, hat previous rates were well sup ported. Neither beans nor peas were in large supply, and the demand for both inactive. Flour has advanc ed Is. to 3s. per sack, but the trade is quiet. WINDY-CH. JUNE 23.-The weather still continues on. settled, notwithstanding the trade is dull for wheat, partly owing to our prices being too high for profit to the consum ing markets, and therefore little business done. Of spring corn supply very short, and fully hat week's prices given. Prices to the grower :-Wheat,white, 60s. to 61s. ; extra, 63e., 631bs. per bushel ; ditto red, 555. to 57a. ; extra, 58s. ; oats, la 2d. to Is. 3d. per stone; beans, 425. to 43e. per qr. WORCESTER, Juss 23.-A fair supply of wheat, which sold slowly at rather under the currency of this day week. Bewley firmly maintained its value, with a fair inquiry. Oats again rather cheaper. Beans firm . Peas more inquired for. Your., Jura 23.-There was about an average supply of wheat on offer at today's corn market, the show consisting of old and new sluts, and the bulk of the samples were of tolerably good quality. Bales were slowly effected at the currencies of the week previous; white realised 60a. to 545. ; red 565. to 58s. per 36 stone. There was very little ani. mation in the barley trade, especially for superior kinds, but there being only a few line samples showing, prices were not subjected to any important alteration ; good qualities were disposed of at 325. to 365. per 30 stone, with a mode rate inquiry. Oats came to hand sparingly, and the tone of the trade was firm, and purchasers were compelled to pay the extreme rates of the week previous, sales being effected at 28s. to Ms. per 24 stone. The supply of beans was again somewhat meagre, and full quotations were made ; old, 48s. ; new, 455. to 475. per 38 stone ; rye, 375. ; malt, 68e. to 70s. per qr. Flour, 425. to 44e. per 20 stone. Krnacatior, Jcxa 23.—The weather during the week has been alternately gleamy and dull, and cold at night ; we want the genial temperature so essential at this sermon. The wheat crop is thin planted and late. Barley and oats not the bulky crop they promised to be two weeks ago, but they are thickly planted, and pretty well forward. All have suffered from excess of rain and chilly weather. Potatoes, mangold, and turnips have come up well. At our country markets this week there was little or nothing doing, little to sell, and farmers unwilling to name a price for wheat. Barley and cats about exhausted. Here to-day we had a small supply of wheat, which sold readily at fully last week's prices. Oats also in small supply, and Is. per qr. higher erfor fine dualities. Only two small parcels of barley. fils. to bOs. per qr. ; barley, 355. 6d. to 365. ; oata, 28s. to 31s. 6d. WATERFORD, JUNE 23.—A good deal of min has fallen throughout the week, but we have now a warmer tem perature, and to-day the weather looks much more settled. Our supplies of home-grown grain consist altogether of oats by boat; from abroad three cargoes of Indian corn have come to hand, and coastwise a few hundred quarters of wheat. Scarcely any change has occurred in our market since the date of our last. Wheat, with a retail inquiry, maintains late rates. Barley can hardly be quoted cheaper, but oats Lave given way Id. to 2d. per barrel the last day or two. We have had a fair inquiry for Indian corn at previous prices for stored parvels, but some ex ship sales have been made at 2d. to 3.1. per barrel less money. Flour dull, and rather easier to buy. Imports this week : Wheat, 905 qrs. ; Indian corn, 4,528 qrs. ; flour, 40 sacks. =this week :—Outs, 6,723 barrels ; flour, 542 sacks ; corn, 600 barrels. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. CASUALTIES.
