BLISHER OF THE ', BRITISH BANNB Mr. What.leis (IC, the arbitrator in this eiaturei ogatineed the tawdry es Friday sad on Saturday. Oa Friday Mr. Busehisis Smith heard his 'video', on the bruin trial read. tad on his crose-essatination stated that the grant of the mosey to Mr. Devise by the Chapel Bead flaciety met with his saactioa. The Rev. Mr. Proat's examiaatioa Ia this man eases was also read by comsat. He farther deposed that bs bad to iatersiew with Mr. Davies after tha Gmarawisk lake was aseatioued, Ist that Mr. Davies made M sadmamse to Mr. Foremast on as, occasion. He did sat pros me to go to Greenwich to see Mr. sad Mrs. Helper. Oa wham* read *: the letter to Mr. Davies he did net my it was ea ea storied, bat that it was • very bad letter. Witness asked ban if he would like the letter to be read to his wife. lie did not say she knows of the affair. Crowe:mined by Mr. Balleatias for the plaiatiff—l am the author of the narrative portion of the article in the 13finsis BMW/. lam " fieretator." I found oat some thing. and therefore I assumed the same. I have stated I **plied the narrative portion of the article is the British Bowser. When the copy of the Wellingborough letter was given to me I did not examine it; if I had I ateruld have seen that a piece was cut off. I did not read the letter in Stacey's realms. I was under • mistake in the article when I said that the testimony of the postmistress had been laid before the e3mnsittee. It was not got for • month tad sight drys afterwards. lir. Salentine—That was rather an awkward mistake. Professor Outran, of the new college, St. John's-wood, domed that he had been a member of the congregational board since 18$2. A committee was originated to investi gate charges effecting the, character of Mr. Davies. The latter gentleman objected to several of the members, and they coneequen y did net sit on the committee. The inquiry lasted altogether upwards of fifty hours. Mrs. Sarah Heber was nest examined.—She deposed to the circumstances under which Mr. Davies visited her house at Greenwich in ISIS, and to the peosentation of the gloves to Miss Smith, their rejection, sad the sebsequent letter. The witness addad—lffr. Davies end two gentlemen sailed oa as is 1860. He wanted to char my splines about the Groenwielt letter. I taid " I did not Wok sigma& in this world had ever had a more devilish 'twigs tomerds any werawn thus Mr. Davies had la maim that War to my • niece. " I was very eagry sad awasesed sagisties that be should come to my howls arm amides seal a Misr. Mr. Davies then wished to imply that he bad intended Susan Smith as a wife for Mr. Foreman. 'midi had beard anything otthe kind, bat she AMIN 11•11,117 IN her self. She was celled down, and said be bed bees wily Mad to her on bout the steamer, and bad wished ber tie London and then go down by railway to Omani* but else had refused. and got oat at Blackwell. She said this be Mr. Davies'. presence. I never told him I was is straitened ' - -...-vxmlesed by IffiLiallastine—l am quite sem the stated this is the palteliallliallffr. Davies. The gloves wee afterwards nova by Olga Ear They were SOW "Davies' =lours." Mr. Honer was then mdbeil sad corroborated the evidence of his wife as to what had masered in hie presence. The Rev. R. Ashton predawn the report of the mgr.- gallon= board which had Squired Into the allegations affeetleg Mr. Davies. Tee Rev. Mr. Vaughan—l em the minister of the New Tabernacle, Old-street-road. I have known Mr. Davies twenty years. Mr. Richardson and I promoted the erection of the chaprl in the Caledonian-road. I recollect the appointment of the Morley committee. Mr. Davies sense to me on one occasion and said, " I am a broken hearted man." He said, " I here written a foolish let ter in reference toe young lady =Greenwich." Hestia told me of the Berbice charges, or at least one of them. In eon. sequence of what be said he and I, and I think Mrs. Davies, went to Mrs Dalgleish. It was to entertain from her her husband's opinin of the Berbice therges. I did not attend beim the Morley committee. I had erovenations with Mr. Device—be deprecated the conduct of the parties et the Mission House for opening a letter from him to his wife. I do not recollect the words he used, but he deprecated it fa strong terms--always in strong terms. He did not sq whether he had written the letter or not. Ido not belie,* I ever heard him say he bad not written it, es see words to that effect. The meetings of the committee were held et Mr. Davies's house, in the Richmond-road. Oa one occasion Mr. D ivies said to me " You know they can't prove that I wrote the letter." I recollect Mr. Davies accompanying me home one night. I ;should say this was is 1851. It was long after the Morley committee. I asked him if he had written the Wellingborough letter to his wife ? His reply was inarticulate or inaudible, but the im pression produced on my mind was that he allowed the authorship. I then asked " Was it a bad letter, as report says ?" end he said " Well, it was rather a bad letter." Whoa I was going before the Congregational Board Cam. mines I met Mr. Davies. He said " What, are you goise to give evidence ?" and I said " Yes, I think so." Heald not deny my statement before that committee—not in sly presence. He arose-examined me. He asked me if I had ' any reason to doubt his purity. I said " No," or his vera city, and I slid " No." Cress-examined by Mr. Ballantine—l am acquainted with the contents of the Wellingborough letter. When he was going before the committee I shook bands with him. I did not say "I wish you success." I said "God speed the right." When I shook hands with him I believed he bad admi•ted the writing of the letter, but et the same time I admit I might not have rightly apprehended him. He was in great grief et the time about the Barbi= matters. He may very likely have said something to the effect that, "Dr. Tidrosn WAS a very influential men, and could ruin him if he pleased." Ido not recollect it in that shape. I do not pledge myself that he said a clerk in the Minioa-house hat copied a letter written by him to his wife—that was the effect of what be said. I will swear I heard him deny in so many words the anthonhip of the Welling. borough letter. I cannot say he ever admitted the author ship in so many words. I stated before the Congregatioaal Board committee that I could not positively affirm that Mr. Davies bad not denied the authorship of the letter. Mr. Davies never exhibited any obscenity in his conversation with me. I saw anything objectionable in Mr. Davies. He always appeared to be affectionate and considerate to his wife. Ido not recollect that Mr. Davies said " the letter contained an obscene allusion to the mar riage bed." I cannot swear that he said that ; I do not recollect that be did. Re-examined—l believe he did not my to me it was designed to make him appear a man of impure mind. The proceedings were they adjourned. On Saturday morning counsel having stated that they would adduce evidence in support of the allegation as to the Wellingborough letter, The Rev Mr. Moore, formerly a missionary at Tahiti, was examined. His evidence went to show that he had sedi lodged at Mr. Keep's when he was at Wellingborough, the object of the examination being to disprove the supposition' that Mr. Davies had been mistaken for Mr. Moore by Mrs. Keep, Mrs. Drayton, and the male and female servants, who had all deposed that he lodged at Mrs. Keep's, and not at Mr. Beale's, in 1815. Cross examined by Mr. Ballantine—l have bad conver sations with Mrs. Keep about this matter. I preached when I wee down there. I cannot recollect the name of the chapel. I lodged at a farm-house. I could not recollect the name of the people, but I described him as a short and stoat man. I recognised him when I went down a second time to Wellingborough. Mr. Ballantine—Did be turn out to be "short and stout" when you went down ? Witness—He did. Mr. Ballantiae—You did not preach about slavery ? Witness—No. William Smith, who had been a serveat of Mr. Hasp's, of Wellinghorough, in 1845, was then called. As he had been previously examined the arbitrator read his notes of the evidence, which weat to show, In the most positive terms, that Mr. Davies stayed at Mr. Keep's in the year in question, and in support of this the winter had entered into many detaile,such as having sonsapthied Mr, Devise to chapel, hearing him preach there en slavery from a text in Proverbs, cleaning his boots while he stayed in the house, putting his luggage on the cmnibus, and receiving •shilling for his trouble. The witness was entemzainined by Mr. Ballantine, bat his evidence is chief was in no degree shakes. The evidence of Mrs. Sarah Wooding, who had also been In Mrs. Keep's service in 1845, was nest read. It was to the effiot that Mr. Davies was there in that year; that on showing hiss to his bedroom be had told her that in Ber hist it was aeceesery to shake the bed clothes every night, as centipedes and other venomous reptiles were often con gealed in them ; that he had written letters in the drawing- TOM on the Monday, and that on his departure she found a mall key in his bedroom, which she lad delivered to her mines. Kr. SWIM said this would probably be a convenient no siest to pat in a letter written by Mr. Davies, dated Ba bies, 24th of November, 1847. The Arbitrator—To whom is it addressed? Mr. Evans—To "my own darling "—(laughter)—l sup pose his wife. My object in patting it in is to show the style is the same as that of the Wellingborough letter. The letter was then reed. It was couched in most offs,- negate terms, and contained sentiments most creditable to the heart and head of the writer. He alluded to the long time be ezperianced since the departure of the person to „Mum it was addressed—evidently Mrs. Davies, for it came from her possession with other letters, cad was written in the same year in which she had lett Berbice for England on account of the delicate stets of her health. He sent her a journal, showing how his time had been occupied, and all the had occurred is her absence. Oro protege in it created maiderable ranrismst :—" Saturday. Awoke by a anti ride biting me about the small of my back. I could not shake him off. How strange they always bite me when I am elem." In Mrs. Weeding's noesumnination by Mr. Bal lasting, she said, " Mr. Danes asked me if I should like to go to SAM, sad I said that after the kited of animals be =twitted se being there, I would rather sot.

The Arbitrator —Wag your letter, with the key, am returned to you by the post-office ? Witness—Oh, no, sir. Mr. Joseph Keep's Rome stridence was then read from the arbitrator's tone as follows :—" I went over the Imes with Mr. Davies. I beard no observations. lam deaf." By fieriest Wilkins—My bona, is not at all like Mr. Beale's. Our house is • stuccoed house, painted white. Mr. Beale's is a dark-red stone house. Ouse is a three-storied house. There are no attics in the roof. Mr. Beale's is only two stories under the roof. Whether there are attics in the roof or not I de not know. Knowing the situation of Mr. Bale's house, I should say there is not from it at all the same look-out as from ours. No one who had assn the two houses could mistake one for the other. This wittier was not nosaszarained. Mrs. Keep, recalled by Mr. Rdlantine—When I sent the by to Mr. Davies, I wrote to this effect. "Mrs. Keep begs Is endows • key found on the dreasing-table in Mr. Davies's room, and which she forwards to him." I did not request an acknowledgment. It was an cadinary portmanteau or bag key. Mrs. Drayton was next put is the witness-box, and as she had been examined in the former reference of ",Tidman e. Ainslie," her evidence was read over. It corroborated Mn. Keep's, in reference to the allegation that Mr. Davies bad stayed there, in every substantial particular. Croe-examined by Mr. Ballaatine.—l made a declaration that I anompanied Mr. Davies to Cheese-lane Chapel cm Monday 'vetting. I cannot say whether it was cm lanky or Monday night. Mr John Saunders, examined by Shiest Wilkins.—l am a printer and stationer at Wellingborough. In Nov., 1845, • missionary lodged at my house. He was the Rev. Mr. Sewell. a missionary from India. He was a middle sized man, rather thin and pals-looking. Mr. Davies wee ad at myhease at all. The witness was not cross-examined. The Rev. Joseph Wilberforce Rh:ha/dna examined by Mr. Ilvans.—l was educated at Bothnia"' College, and be- came acquainted with Mr. Davies, who was a student there. 1 That is about twenty years ego. Since that time I have been on friendly, I cannot say intimate, terms with him. In 1849, he was anxious to obtain a location in London. I joined with Mr. Vaughan and other gentlemen. in erecting a shape' for him in the Caledonian-road. After the Morley committee was formed, Mr. Davies came to the and said he was in great distress of mind on account of certain reports about • letter which he had written about • young lady at Greenwich. He read a portion of the letter. I said, " What Gould prompt you to write such • letter ?" He replied, " I cannot tell." He said • committee wool st be I set:emery. I said "I think so, too." Mr. Davies wished me to be ea the committee. I consented, with some hesitation. I impressed on him the neeeseity of having Dr. Tido= on the committee. I did not wish to trouble myself about the , committee. If I had believed the rumours about him were tree, I should have connected myself with his chapel. After the mentions of the Morley committee, I told him, I. my opinion, he was bound to retire from the chapel. The committee would have sat, if he had not led them to believe that he would abide by their decision. That aas certainly my impression. I first heard of the Wellingborough letter from Mr. Davies about • month after the Morley committee at is January. He gave me to understand that • letter bad been brought up against him at the Mission-house, picked up and .copied there —a letter written by him to his wife. I was very much excited by the communication, and spoke in very strong terms of the man who would dare to open • letter written by • bee. bead to his wife, to which he appeared cordially to 'meat. I doubted that he was the writer of the letter. He heard all I said about the conduct of • man who would den to open • letter written by • husband to his wife and copy it. Mr. Davies wanted to what I said. As far as I can recollect, be said, " And now the Mission-house have got a letter of miss to my wife, which they have copied." That was the special point—" which they have copied." I said that " any man who would dare to copy • letter from a hus band to his wife must be most dishonourable and bass." I When those are the terms I used. Mr. Evans—Mr. Devies's evidence is this:—" I said to Mr. Richardson I knew nothing about it (the Welliag borough letter)." Witness—Oh no, certainly not. Ile thing. Ido not think Mr. Front's name was mentioned on that occasion. After the congrecational board sat I met Mr. Davies. I said, "Now Mr. Davies, I have taken no part in the proceedings of the congregational board, and I should now like to tell you my impression of the ease. It is, that you are the author of that letter, or certainly the greatest dolt that ever lived. You know You denied the authorship of that letter to me, other wise I should have been able to have borne witness to that statement. You have cloud my lips." And he replied, " I did not deny it to you ; I was afraid you would go to the Itissiou-house, and I did not know what evidence they had." There was a reference subsequently to the Welling borough letter. He said, " I will show it to you." He then put his hand in his pocket, and said, "But I haven t it with me." When I said lee was either the author of the letter or the greatest dolt that ever lived, he said, "I am 'either one nor the other." it was on that account I added, " You know you never denied it to me." Ido not think he said " I had abundant reasons for not doing so." I will not swear he did not, but I think he did not, for he gave me the reason when he said, " I thought you would go to the Me dan house." I went dowa to Greenwich with Mr. Davies for the purpose of placating the uncle and aunt of the young lady (Susan Smith) if possible. By Serjeant Wilkins—l heard nothing about Mr. Pere. man until the Caledonian committee met. That was after the Morley committee. When hs told me about the Greer wick letter hs certainly told me nothing about Mr. Femmes. It must have been some weeks after my first conversation with Mr. Davies about the Greenwich letter when I heard about Mr. Foreman. I remember Mr. Davies being con fronted with Miss Smith. I remember her being appealed to about Mr. Foreman, and she did not remember Mr. Davies referring in any way in the steamboat to Mr. Fore man. I believe that it wee I who iatroduced the name of Mr. Foreman, in order that I might allay the feeling. which the uncle and dud felt towards Mr. Davits. I asked them did they not think Mr. Davies had Mr. Foreman in view ? They refused to receive this objection. I utterly failed in placating them. I use the term again advisedly. Serjeant Wilklae—And • very good term too. M A r. Balleatine—lt may be, but not in this ease. (Laugh- W Witness—l believe Mn. Helyer said to Mr. Davies, "Why did you not think of that before ?" I know she said, that " if her husband had written such • letter to any young lady he would not have had much pine at home after wards." (Laughter.) Mr. Davies before the com mittee of the Caledonian Chapel, of which I was a member, in my presence denied the authenticity of the Welling borough letter. I attended the committee up to the close, bat only occasionally. Up be the time of the Morley cam sides I certainly had every inclination to forward Mr. Daviee's interests. I devoted time, effort, and money for Mr. Davin. I have never in my life had any personal quarrel with him.

Whoa he shook heads with Mr. Davies, sail w lila mean if he were in the right, it was oa the 30th et Danaher, before this inquiry commenced.

The proceedings were then adjourned toWednesday nest, when the additional evidence on behalf of the defendant will be adduced and summed up by Berjeant Wilkins. Mr. Ballantine will then have to reply on the whole case, so it will be concluded in two days more. EQUITY COURTS.—Jex. 27. WO= to LOIDS VATIC= OF APPIAL. IX PLATE W1L1.28 lit II WILXIIII. Their lordships delivered their judgment upon this appeal of an arranging debtor, from the refusal of one of the dis trict commissioners to certify, under the 226th section of the Bankrupt liswConsolidationAct,that a dead of inspection executed between the appellant and his creditors had been duly executed by the requisite majority (viz., six -sevenths) in number sod value of such creditors. The grounds of the commissioner's refusal were that the deed did not fell within the provisions of the section, as not being for the benefit of all the creditors of the appellant, and that it did not purport to pass the whole of the appellant's property. The case was heard on Tuesday last, when Mr. De Gen was heard for the appellant ; but Mr. Willeock, Q.C., and Mr. Archibald Smith were not called upon in support of the decision appealed from.

Sir Fitsrei;Kelly moved for • rule to show cause why a certiorari should not issue to bring up an inquisition is which damages had been found against the railway oom pany, on the ground of want of jurisdiction, and also that the damages had been excessive. It appeared from the affidavit, that in 1836 Mr. Porter purchased for 1,0001. a certain field to which he had a right of way through a pri vate lane, called Bill-lane. In 1839 the company bought the soil of the lane, and carried • branch of the railway across it by a level crossing, which caused an obstruction to persons passing that way. No complaint, however, was made until September, 1884, when Mr. Porter sent in a claim for 2,0001., on the ground that the field was depre ciated in value by the obstruction. A jury was summoned to decide upon the claim, and assessed the damages at 9401., being nearly the value of the field. The company now resisted the verdict on the two grounds above stated, and the learned gentleman contended that, by the private act of the company, no oompensation could be recovered unless notice in writing was given stating the extent and nature of the damage within WI months alter the injury alleged; and is the present instance no claim had made for seven teen years.

This morning, in the ease of the Franaiska, Dr. Lushing ton pronounced a judgment which occupied upwards of three hours and a half in its delivery, and which involved many points of great public interest. The Marquis of Salisbury and several other gentlemen were :present. The Franciska was a Danish schooner, l l and was the property of Jorgen Peter Arboe, a shipbroker l at Copenhagen. She had been chartered at Barcelona in March last to proceed to Tarragona and Torrevicia for a cargo of salt and wine, with which she was to call at Elsinore for orders. She left Elsinore on the 14th of April with orders, as was alleged, to proceed to Memel, but if there was no blockade she was to go to Riga. She was, however, captured by her Majesty's ship Cruiser, off Lyserort, on the 22nd of May. Restitutioa had been claimed on various pleas end amongst others en the ground that the blockade ha d been neither a legal nor an effective one ; and also on the ground that the vessels of Denmark and Sweden were entitled to spesial privileges under an old treaty. The court, however, has pronounced against the claim. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.--Jsx. 27. Woe, ra. COOOlnuossa Ix 00 0. A. CALDWILLL. This insolvent, a uncial in the lat Royal Dragoon', whose cue was reported in our paper on his application for bail, appeared to be discharged under the act. He ap peared in his regimentals, ano his case excited a good deal of interest. Four creditors had entered opposition, but not ens appeared. The insolvent, who is a fine-looking man, wee examined by Mr. Commissioner Phillips on the debts in the schedule. It appeared that the insoles at owed about 3001. His debts were ineareed while be wee a gentleman cadet, qualifying to be a riding master, with the view of getting a commis sion. His uniform bad been taken in execution by a cre ditor. It was worth SOL, and had been seised for a debt of 91. and the costa. He considered he had lost about 181. by the sale, but he bad obtained an account. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked him if he Gould account for his creditors not opposing his application. Had he bought them off ? The insolvent said he had not bought them off.

In this case an important question was raised, and an opinion was expressed which will materially affect the ap plication to this court. The insolvent was a bankrupt in 1844 and had not obtained his certificate. His first hearing in this court was adjourned to ascertain bow his 011ie atooa in bankruptcy. It new appeared that his last examination h a d been pained, but be bad not applied for his certificate. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked him the reason he had not applied for hie certificate. The insolvent said it WIN on account of the expense. Mr. Commissioner Phillips asked him whether he be lieved he could have obtained his certilsete if he had a lte d iasolveat replied in the afilmative. Mr. Commissioner Phillips said—This court must come to a rule in oases where parties were hankie t and came to this court. His had ammlsed Mr. Commlesteaer Murphy, and he was ready to comer with him, that bankrupts mast apply for their certificates before they could be hard in this court. It was a very important questien, and be had con sulted Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, and it was the opinion of the commissioners in bankruptcy, that such a rule of this court as he had intimated would be of great service.

Mr. Robinson, barrister, aecompanied by Mr. Stephen, of the Common Connell, and several other directors of tits Plate-glass Inutrance Company, waited upon Mr. Mealy, in aseasequenoe of the newspaper reports of some sesisslims ea Saturday last, which appeared to reflect leas the deitacter of one of the most useful and respectable tlempaMe k the metropolis. A cabman was charged with MIMI Waking a pane of glass, worth 10i., in the shop dant at Mr. Watkins, in Holborn, and the report further MIA that several tradesmen had complained of similar ,at the same time remarking that they bad pre rslie dyulined to insure themselves lathe office. Mr. Henry—The report is correct. Mr. Robinson said the insinuation, in spite of its mani at absurdity, appeared to be that the Plate-glass Company bed the brume to unction or encourage these outrages mem mendrearers, although it must be obvious that to plase themselves in the power of any cabana or other per use, with this view, would be fatal to their existence, and destructive of the character of every gentlemen connected ulik its management. lathe very eau reported from Bow an*. M. Watkins was himself an insurer, sad had his ism immediately repaired by the company. Mr. Stephenson, as one of the directors, had felt greatly pained at the insinuation referred to. There were 11,000 policies in the office, end they had already repaired break ages to the extent of 2,6001., or five per cent. Mr. Henry had no doubt these statements would go forth through the same channel, and he should be very glad to bear of some of the guilty parties being apprehended. He weld order payment to the extents! 101 ,with proportionate 'aiprisonment in default. MARKETS. COTTON.—Lrvnarooi, JAM. 27.—The market cloud heavily, and prices of all kinds are unaltered.

COTTON • JAW. 27.—Tk. state of the eloth market continues to be 'most unsatisfaetoi The late failures, and political events taken together, are operating most unfavourably, by unsettling confidence et a hike when the prospects of Wade, particularly in the prin. lipid shipping markets, was very unpromising. The in maned depression now brought about is felt more pinion lady in the demand for India and China, and low ea prices were before, they may still be said to tend towards greater ease. There has been more inquiry for yarns suited to India, but so far it has not led to much business. For the Levant and Greek trade both cloth and yarn meet with a demand sufficient to keep prices quite steady, and these goods bold about the hest position in the market. Water twist, from 20's upwards, are in limited request, with rather lower prices, and spinners meet with but a fist demand for most hinds of twist, buyers giving out small and pressing orders only. In noticing this position of the market, Messrs.

LINEN GOODS.—MANcanstna, JAN. 27.—This mar . ket ia affected just now by much the same causes that have influenced the trade in cottons. Prices are, perhaps, as low as they were ever known to be, but stocks are also within a very small compsu; and being insufficient to meet any moderately increased demand, it is not unlikely that an improvement would bring with it better prices. Andra lien 'deices say that linens of household kinds are wanted ; and as quotations show a margin of profit, some increased shipments are taking place for that quarter. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Linn, Jaw. 27.—We have bad • better minuet to-day than we had on Tuesday ; but compared with what has boen an ge one, It has only been an indifferent affair. The principal sales have been in double milled blue cloths and Prunells, and a few parties have done a good business in them. But this has not been generally the case. The manufacturers are anxious to effect sales, and to do so are willing to accept lower prices. The trade in the warehouses has been rather quiet during the current week. Very few buyers have been in the town ; and, on all hands, there is considerable caution shown in entering into business transactions at the present time. HARDWARE.—BIRMINOHAY, JAN. 27.—There has been a partial improvement in the state of trade here since out lest report; some considerable quantity of orders have come in Irons the country, and as the shopkeepers' stock■ are known to be g 117 small, it seems probable that our trade will revive as spring approaches. The letters re ceived from the factors' travellers are of a more cheering character, and the manufacturers are complaining less than they did a fortnight ago. In the foreign trade there is no change whatever. The price of pig iron (Staffordshire) has receded a little since quarter day.

In south country and foreign little was done, our millers having purchased sufficient pre-" , viously to meet their wants, holders, however, were generally fi rm, and refused to sell, excepting at very extreme rats.. Flour moved off slowly, bat in its value we note little change. By. stationary. Malting barley was held with more firmness, and, there being little left unsold at the quay, holders of granaried samples seemed indifferent about selling. Malt most difficult to quit, and only the choicest qualities saleable. In beans and peas little change. With oats we were well supplied by our growers, and, not withstanding the heavy arrivals, fresh-thrashed samples could not be had cheaper.

Flour was in small request at last week's rates. Barley was offered freely, but the demand languid, and prices must be quoted le. per qr. lower ; grinding sorts well maintained their previous value.

KIRCALDT, JAN. 27.-The weather during the week, although a little changeable, has always kept inclining to frost. Now it is pretty bard, and apparently we are in for a storm of snow and frost, and, coming on at this time, it may last a while.

WATERFORD, JAN. 27.-We have had a very email ins port of grain coastwise since this day sennight. From abroad there has not been a single arrival, but the supplies from farmers have been on a liberal scale, particularly of wheat, which has declined about is. per barrel. At this morning's market we had again a fair delivery of wheat, and as millers were not very anxious buyers, farmers were obliged to submit to the reduction above noted before a clearance could be effected. Barley underwent no change, but oats met an improved sale at - better prices than were obtainable on Saturday last. Indian corn was in fair request at an advance of 6d. to 9d. per barrel, and as supplies are expected to be small for some time, many holders refused to sell except at a further enhancement. Foreign wheat has realised rather more money. Flour, with a moderate enquiry, fully maintains its value. Imports this week: Wheat, 60 qrs. ; Indian corn, 1,666.
