EITEAORDINARY SEDUCTION CASE. -THE IRISH REI7VALS. COURT Or QUEEN'S BENCH, DUBLIN.—E,truaDAL ZLIZA WIRE 1. THE 11V. SANUCL 111.3• N. Mr. Seeds opened the pleadings. This was an action to recover damages for Deduction of the plaintiff's daughter by the defendant. Damages were laid at ;mot. Mr. Falkiner stated the plaintiff's case. The defendant, who is a man 45 years of age, had been a clergyman of the preebyterian denomination for the district of Halloo, in the county of lkiwu- He had in the most solemn manner, both ou the records of the court and before the superiors of his church, asserted his own inno cence, and the double guilt of the plaintiff sad bar daughter. He thought the jury would consider the ease ea sorrowful and sad in one of its aspects -as awful, as atriseitins, and as abominable in another as ever came before • court of justice. The plaintiff was the widow of a car penter, who died about eight years ago, leaving eleven children. When dying, the father commended his children to the guardianship of the defendant, whom be hell known for the eight years preceding his death—who was his tried and trusted friend—and who walked befcre the world as a man of sobriety. of virtue, and of seemingly Christian hfe. Trion her earliest you., the daughter of the plaintiff had attended the defendant s meeting-house, and received in struction in his Sunday schooL At the period of the revival movement in the north of Ireland, the district of Balloo participated in it, and the plaintiff's daughter was one of those who fell under its influence. She Joined what was called the " young woman's claim" which had been organised by the defendant, and where she attracted his favourable notice. He made her pre sents, and dually succeeded in seducing her. In October last she gave birth to a child, and stated that the defendant was the father. This he solemnly denied before the leading members of his church, but when the present action was instituted, he auctioned off Ids property and lad from the country. The learned counsel having caninented, iu strong terms., on the conduct of the defen dant, concluded by calling on the jury to mark by their verdict their mass of his misconduct, and of the injury which he bad indicted on the phiatiff and her daughter. The plaintiff and her daughter were examined, and con firmed the statemeut of their counsel to the fullest extent. Tbar• was no appearance for the defendant, and the Chief Judies having briefly charged the jury, they immediately ridanneill a verdict for 300 f., the full amount claimed.

EXCHEQUER OHAMBER-Fzß. 2. Sittings in Error.—(Beforo Justices Wightman, Crompton, and Hill, and limns Marlin, Bramwell, and Channell. MWEATLYO e. PKARCI. Mr. BovW, for the defendant, stated yesterday (Friday) that the great question in this nue was how far a custom at Lloyd's, of which the plaintiff was not a member, was binding on him, although be was ignorant of that custom. The cue was tried before the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, when the jury found that this custom, which was for the broker under a ship policy to collect the amount from the different underwriters, was well known to merchants and shipbrokem The Chief Justice directed the verdict to be entered for the plaintiff, but be gave the defendant leave to move the court to enter the verdict in his favour. A motion was accordingly made in the Common Pleas, and • rule nisi was grunted. The case then came on for discus. eke, when the court discharged the rule, leaving the verdict for the plaintiff to stand. There was then this appeal to the Court of Error. The learned counsel contended that this custom baring been found by the jury to be well known among merchants and shipbrokers, all persons effecting any policy are bound by that custom, and they could not set up theirignorance of the custom u an answer against it. In consequence of the illness of the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and the Lord Chief Baron Pollock, the court was deprived of the presence of two of the judges. Two others of the judges hail to go to chambers so that soon after two o'clock the court was reduced to three j and it not being considered proper that three judges shou ld udges reverse a judgment of one of the other courts, it was stated that the case must be adjourned. Mr. Bovill asked that the further hearing might stand over until Monday. The court said that course could not be adopted, as the Court of Error would sit on Monday to hear cases in error in the Court of Exchequer. Mr. lloyfil said he should not be able to attend, and he hoped the court would permit Mr. liannen, who was with him to continue the argument. The court consented to this, and adjourned. This morning (Saturday) Mr. Hannen accordingly pro ceeded with the argument, urging that this was the first i time • jury had ever decided that • custom was generally known to merchant. and shipowners. The custom haring been thus established, then arose the question, what was the effect of it? He contended that where a pavan em ployed another to go into a particular market and eater into a contract, such contract was to be interpreted wooed. fug to any custom which was proved to exist in that parti cular market The learned counsel then adverted to cus toms existing in the Stock Exchange, and cited cum to show that those customs bad been recognised, and that all persons were bound by the customs of that body. Why should not any custom of Lloyd's be treated in the same manner? _ . _ Justice Crompton said that contracts entered into relative to the Stock Exchange must be entered into by members of that body. Mr. Baron Martin said the law of the Stock Exchange was perfectly well known. If he employed • person in Liver. pool to enter into • contract, that contract must be subject to any custom of Liverpool. Mr. disnnen said that was this case. The plaintiff must be subject to the custom of Lloyd's. Mr. Justice Crompton said—lf you employ me to go to • certain place for you, and I have to go through • turnpike which you did not know of, you must pay me the toll. Mr. Hannon—The party was bound by all the particular incident' of the place. How could the employment of • broker of Lloyd's be distinguished from the employment of • broker on the Stock Exchange ? One was of as much importance as the other. Mr. M. Smith and Mr. Honeyntan appeared for the plain tiff, but were not called upon. The judges delivered their judgments seriatim, but their opinions were to this effect :—The plaintiff had instructed Messrs. Walton, brokers at Lloyd's, to effect • policy on • ship for him. Walton did this, bat for safe custody the plaintiff permitted them to retain the policy. "there being a loss, the plaintiff employed Walton to collect the money due on the policy from the underwriters, but instead of Co. I letting the account in money, Walton, according to &custom at Lloyd's, set off • debt, and the plaintiff brought his action against the defendant, whose defence was this custom of Lloyd's. This court considered that the Common Pleas were right. The broker was not authorised to act accord lug to any custom of Lloyd's without a special contract to that effect—his authority was only to collect the mosey. Had it been shown that the plaintiff was aware at the custom, the case might have been different, but here the evidence was that the plaintiff was totally ignorant of any such custom, and therefore he could not be bound by the custom unless Imbed had notice of it. The verdict was there fore properly entered for the plaintiff. Judgment of the court below was affirmed. • PERCIVAL AND ITXOR r. LIM This was an action against the proprietor of the Daily Telegraph for a libel. It came before this court ce aWI of exceptions to the summing up of the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, who had directed the jnry that the leading article which contained a comment upon the report of a proceeding before the Lord Mayor was a libel and unfair comment, which it was alleged he ought to have left to the jtuy. Mr. Lush now appeared for the defendant, and urged that, it being permitted to give a fair report of a trial, the editor was justified in making comments upon the evidence, and that whether or not he went too far was a question for the jury, and not for the judge particularly, when the report which led to the comments was given in the same paper. The court rose before the arguments were concluded, and it was understood that the hearing would be resumed on Thursday. 00I7RT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Fae. 2. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)

This insolvent, the well known hotel keeper and promoter of " Master's Royal Crystal Palace Hotel , " whose case was reported, again came before the court.

He was brought to the detective-afro a little before ten, and was shortly afterwards eouveyed to Kirkdale Gaol, to await his trial it the anises in March next. It appsn that since the night of the murder he has been skulking about from place to place, sleeping sometimes hi entries and other oat-of.the. way places. He was partially disguised, having somewhat changed his dress. Nt hen taken to the police-office he had • good breakfast offered him, but refused it, riving be could not eat. He is not by any means • bad-looking man, and from his conversation seems to have made up his min i that he will end his days on the scaffold. When it became known that Donnman was safe in the hands of justice, the passages and outside of the court were crowded with • large number of person; and considerable excitement was mani fested to get • view of the prisoner.

The woman was picked up and taken to the surgery of Mr. S. W. Smith, No. 111. 13Lackfriars-road, and the child was taken to the surgery of Dr. Smith, No. 64. in the same road.

HAMEL This action was brought npota written agreement by the plaintiff, William H. Bellew Pa in, an attorney, to reamer about 1,400 i. for taking a •oyage to Australia, to obtain pimpsof property which been left by the do. eadmit's half•brother, who died in that colony in 1844. Mr. Berjeant Pigott and Mr. O'Grady were for the plain tiff ,• and Mr. Huddliston and Mr. Dowdeawell for the dr fondant. It appeared from the plaintiff', case that the defendant, Mies Haynes, who was a female in humble circumstances, earning her living as a silk winder at Bethnal-greaa, having beard from a person from Australi a th a t h er re l at i ve had left a large amount of property, variously estimated from 9,0001. to 10 0001 ., called upon the plainti ff in 1857 to consult him with regard to its recovery. Ultimately the agreement in question was entered into, and la accordance with lie terms he went out to Australia, and remained there for • considerable time. The defence was that the agreement was obtained by false and fraudulent representations. The defendant was an illi terate person, and the negotiations with the plaintiff were carried on by her brother and another on her behalf, and it was alleged that the plaintiff, anxious, for pri vate reasons, to go to Amami* nn y represented to them that it would be rash and improvident to send out a power of attorney, as there was no agent in the colony who could be trusted, and suggested that be himself should take the voyage. The defendant said that it was upon this statement she was induced to enter into the agreement. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff had received aiW" . from Mr. Gilbert, an attorney, in Australia, on ac count of the property, and the defendant oontended that this was amply sufficient to cover all the expenses he had iocurred. The learned Judge, in summing up, rid the principal question was whether there was fraud so as to vitiate the :Lnset, which had clearly been entered int o b e tw een m p:ties. If the jury thought that the plebs tire statement that no one in Australia could be safely entrusted with the work, under a power of attorney, was wilfully false, and that it induced the defendant to enter into the agreement, it would amount to fraud, and the defendant would be entitled to their verdict. The strongest piece of evidence against the plaintiff, his lordship said, to his mind, was this : that when he awns to draw out the agreement he, apparently from • comieious. new of the dubious nature of the transaction, ineerted wends to the effect that the rid Elisabeth Haynes had reason to think that, under the circumstances and from the advice and experience of many gentlemen in conversation with them, by sending • power of attorney or other instrument to any party in South Australia she would not obtain the whole of the property. The jury, after • brief absence from court, gave • verdict for the defendant, boding that the plaintiff was guilty of fraud, and that all his expenditure was covered by the money he had received in Australia. Verdict for defendant. =TOLL'S e. LAWRENC/L —HOUR CARL This was an action fora breech of warranty, stating that a bores was fit to oany a lady. Mr. O'Malley and Mi. D. Keane appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Serjeeat Ballantine for the defendant. The plaintiff WY Mr. Metcalfe, • gentleman of the bar, and the defendant, • horse dealer at Brighton. In Novem ber last Mr. Metcalfe was staying with his wife, at Brighton, and when out with the Southdown hounds he saw the de fendant with a showy-looking bay mare, and knowing who he was he spoke to him about her. The moult was that the plaintiff called at the defeodant's stables neat day, and being armed that the inapt was perfectly quiet and imitable for a lady to ride upon, he greed to porchaee her for 1001., intending her fo r the use of Mrs. Metcalfe. The horse was duly delivered, and Mrs. Metcalfe, in the absence of her husband, who ass is London, gave a cheque to the defendant for the amount, but only took a receipt, forgetting to ask for the ordinary warranty. The plaintiff afterwards rode the mare and found she had a vicious temper, and was perfectly mime aLeab:taiotiff dated that when he went out with the animal he became a show to the people of Brighton, as she reared, threw herself on the ground, and performed other dangerous gyrations. Thedefendant refusing to take back the mere, she was resold at Tattersall's for 33 guineas, the net proceeds being 301. te., and the plaintiff sought to recover the difference between that sum and the 1001. The defence was that no warranty wee given with the hone, and that until ill-used by the plaintiff's groom she was quiet, and free from vice. As in most cases of this description, the evidence was very conflicting. The jury, after an absence from court of about two hours, found a verdict for the plaintiff damages 151. OOUBT OF OOKMON PLIAS.-FEB. 2. Sittings in Bance.—(Be(ore Lord Chief Justice Erle and Justices Williams, Wales., and Keating.) BARK V. FIESTT.-DIPOITANT RANKING QVCSTION. This action arose out of the following circumstances. The defendant was a banker at Worthing, with whom the plain tiff had kept an account, and on Friday, the Bth of July, the plaintiff paid into the defendant's hank a cheque for ser., drawn on Messrs. Whittield and Molyneaux, bankers, of Lewis. If the cheque had been sent by the defendant by poet to Lewes on the Friday it would have been paid on the Saturday, but the defendant, in accordance enth the venal course of business, sent the cheque by Friday's poet to hie correspondents in London, Mews:Lubbock, who sent it to the country cicaring-house, and the cheque was from thence sent down to the Lewes Bank, where it arrived on the Monday and wee dishonoured. The plaintiff, under ' these circumstances, sued his banker for the amount of the cheque, and at the trial before Mr. Justice Blackburn, in Surer., the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Subse quently a rule was obtained to enter a verdict for the de fendant, or for • new trial, the question raised being whe ther the defendant had • right to send the cheque up to London to be passed through the country clearing-house, or whether he was bound by law to seed it direct to Lewes on the day on which he received it. The matter to-day came on for argument, but it wee not concluded when the court rose. Hittiags at Nisi Prius lu Middlesex.—(Before Mr. Justin Myles And • Common Jury.) BAUOILL AND will O.

Tha plaintiff was a journeyman coachbuilder, and the dis• fondant was am auctioneer, and he manly° the proprietor of • booking-office, kept in the basement of the Gloucester Coffee-biome, Oxford-street.

Upon the question of negli gence the evidence was conilkting. The plaintiff's owe wee, that he was standing close by the cellar when he stepped leek to aUuw somebody to pass, and there being no thing to stop him he stepped into the cellar. On the other hand it was said that the cellar opening wits protected M manner better than any other similar place in Lorton.

Another contested part we MARKETS. SUGAR. - The imports during the past month have been 1,260 tons less than t h an of January, 1860, but the demand has fallen off, the deliveries for home consumption having been only 25,260 against 30,800 tons. Some portion of this deficiency may be attributable to the interruption of the island communication, but the failures which have recently taken place amongst both refiners and wholesale groom have induced increased caution on the part both of buyers and milers ; in fact, the trade have run themselves so low in stock that they take immediate delivery of their pur chases. The stock in the port. still shows • large redue tion as compared with the same period of last year, being now 75,260 against 91,820 toss, but the change of wind within the last few days has brought in many vessels from the east, the cargoes of which are not yet landed, and con sequently not included in the stock. There is no new fea ture in the prospect of supply for this year, which, accord ing to the latest advice., does not seem likely to be more than sufficient to meet the world's consumption, supposing it to continue on the sale of 1860.—(From the Circular of Messrs. Tasman and Rona.) COTTON. lavrarooL, Faa. 2.—There has been • good business in cotton to-day at full prioes.

Oap yarns are in some oases a farthing the pound lower, as also are warps. But at these low rates the buyers seem to have felt that there was an approximation to rake at which they might venture on business, and some considerable purchases have been made in 7 lb. and 8* lb. 40-inch shirting, for the eastern trade. These have brought forward buyers in other departments, and some extensive orders have been offered, but at very low rates. At present only those manufac turers who are most pressed with stocks have acceded to the terms offering. There has been rather more doing in do mestics and T cloths. Also in water twist for China, and in yarns for the Continent. The orders for cloths have also led to rather more business in yarns for manufacturer. Printers are fiat, and long cloths are much neglected owing to the almost total suspension of bumf:teas for the Levant in consequence of the monetary difficulties in which some Of the Greeks have been involved. With the indications of returning business above alluded to, during the last day or two, however, the market dome with a more hopeful feeling than we have had for some weeks past. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Ltrne, Few. 2.—We have had a rather better market this morning. There was a numerous attendance of buyers in both the cloth halls, and some con siderable sales were effected, but chiefly in Melton' and other light fabrics. Or'inary cloths were not in good de mand in the coloured market, but in the white cloth market • fair business was done in them. HARDWARE.—Biaktisooms, Fes. 2.—The trade of this town continue* in a very unsatisfactory state ; orders come in slowly, and they are small, almost without excep tion. There is none of the briskness by which business is onlinarily characterised at this time of the year, in antici pation of the demand fur goods for the spring trade. The manufscturen generally are only able to employ their men an averaged four days, and there is no apparent prospect of improvement in that respect. Ont of such • large number of trades as are caned on here there are, as may be sup posed, exceptions to this state of things ; but upon the whole trade is unusually depressed. In the South Staffordshire and last Worcestershire districts matters are much in the same position ; the iron trade does not rally, neither is it likely to do so whilst the American trade is suspended ; and most of the colliers in this quarter are under notices, which will lead to a general reduction of wages. OORN.-CAIMIUDOR, Fan. 2.-We had again a very heavy market for all corn, and prices rather lower. Wheat, red, 36e. to 52a. ; white, 64e. Barley, 116 e. to 445. Beans, 30s. to 40s.

GUILDFORD, FEB. 2.-Damp samples of wheat having of late been very unsaleable, there is an accumulation of these and little progress to-day could be made ; where very low rates were accepted, some portion MIA disposed of.

Immerge, Fee. 2.-There was a fair show of wheat on offer at our corn market to-day, consisting of a moderate sprinkling of old sorts and a tolerable show of new samples. The latter, owing to the relaxed state of the weather came to hand in varied condition. The trade ruled firm , the prices of the previous week ; old white qualities moved off at 70a. to 78e. • new, 525. to 645. • old red, 65e. to 70a. ; new, 475. to ffee. per 36 stone. 61 barley there was a middling quantity offering, the quality of which on the whole was tolerable, but the demand ruled inactive, and prices for inferior kinds were the turn downwards ; fine samples not much changed ; malting, 365. to 425. per qr. ; grinding, 325. to 345. per 30 stone. The show of cat* was about as usual, and quite sufficient to meet the demand ; a moderate amount of business wan transacted, and in some cases an advance of le. per qr. took place ; old, 345. to 38s. ; new, 25e. to 30e. per 24 stone. In beans (the show of which wan rather limited) a moderate demand was experienced, and buyers had to pay the full currencies of the previous week for all good aorta ; old, 565. to 68s. ; new, 345. to 38a per 38 stone. The best flour made 495. ; seconds, 479. ; thirds, 445. per 20 stone.

In south country qualities little was done, excepting in thin Lincolnshire red, weighing about 551 b. per bushel, at 52e. per 5041b0r., extra new yellow being worth 64a, weighing 601 b. to 611 b., whilst Scotch prepared white was placed at 59.. In foreign transactions were mo derate, fine old Dantaic reach ing 715., and other sorts propor tiou. Towards the conclusion of the market there was more disposition to operate, and the trade closed with an upward tendency. For flour there was a rualerate inquiry ; prices, however, cannot be written lower. Makin; barley, unless due, in moderate request. In malt little stirring ; grinding unchanged.

NORWICH. Fie. 2.—There was rather • better feeling in the wheat trade here to-day, and last week's rates were fully supported for all descriptions. The supply of barley we. only moderate, and the quality was on the whole not equal to that offered last Saturday ; prices were hardly nmintained, except for the finest sorts.

NOTTTNIMAII, FEB. 2.—dt our corn market to-day there MY a pretty tolerable show of wheat for the time of the year, the bulk of the samples being of the new crop. The quality was very varied, and sonic samples were out of con dition. Old sorts made fully a., much money as last week ; in some instances Is. advauce was obtained ; inferior neglected ; old white descriptions were disposed of at 68a. to 795. • old red, 645. to 735. ; new white, 52.5. to 68s. • new rea l , 475. to 638. per 36 stone. There was a nioderat supply of barley. the demand for which wee quiet, and in ferior sorts sold at rather easier rates, but fine ditto were not much altered : malting, 365. to 445. ; Seale, 43e. to 475. per qr. ; grinding, old, 335. to 36a. ; new, 30a. to 33e. per 30 stone. The show of oats was middling, and old samples were taken off at no material change in priers, but new and inferior ditto were fully as cheap as on the week previous ; the former suede Vs. to 395. ; the latter 245. to 30s. ,• foreign, 28s. to 321. per 24 stone. There war n limited supply of beans, both old nod new, and the tone of the trade win steady ; bolder,, in consequence obtained full rates ; old making hels. to 595. ; new, 39e. to 40a. per 38 stone ; and super flour, 48e. to 525. ; new, 435. to 46e. per 20 stone. OXFORD, Fn. 2.—There was a good attendance at market to-day, and a fair supply of wheat ; but a great many samples were in that damp and ill-conditioned state, that millers and dealers would morels look at them, and consequently a great dulness prevailed with respect to in ferior wheats ; best qualities were rather in demand, and for this description a firmer feeliug pervaded tho market throughout. Quotations were as follows, ris. :—White wheat, from 60s. to D. 38. per quarter ; red wheat, from 48s. to 605.; burley was in abundance, and that fit for malting purposes was soon picked out, commanding from 355. to 455.• inferior descriptions for grinding, being in such a damp state, were mostly pawed by—the few samples that changed hands realised 28s. to 3-is. Oats, beans, and peas were not much in requestjuidkondition rokkUing; prices as follows : Oats, 12s. to IL.; beans, 38s. to 545.; hog peas, 38x. to 425. Flour, a fair sale at 465. per sack.

READING, FIB. 2.—The supply of wheat at this morning's market was rather short, and the attendance of buyers and sellers limited. Trade was consequently inactive, at last week's rates. Of barley them was a limited supply, and but little doing at precious rates. The Candlemas Fair, which was held for the first time at the Cattle Market, somewhat interfered with the busiueu of the Corn Eachatige. ROCID:811111, FIB. 2.—There was a gaol aili on d an oe of th e town and country trade at this corn embroil, but the show of wheat and other grain was only a moderate one, and • considerable portion of it of indifferent quality. Throughout the district, generally, a very languid foiling has prevailed, and notwithstanding the decline which has taken place in prices trade has proceeded but slowly. Even few the choicest sample,' of both white and red wheat there was • slow sale at prices under those of last week, beet kinds being heavy at • decline of la. to 2s. per quarter. The middling and infe rior kinds could scarcely be sold at all and appeared to be quite neglected, notwithstanding that holders offered them at a reduction of 2s. to 3s. Both kinds of barley were in slow sale, but fioe qualities for malting purposes supported last week's prices. Grinding, however, experience) a de cline of about Is., and this concession failed to secure pur chases. In oats there was little doing, ,but good kinds realised late prices. Beans and peaa, which infto in small supply, brought last week's .q.arrencies. The flour trade con tinues doll, and the prices of both kinds hays declined 6d. to ls. per sack. WISBECH, FEB. 2.—The supply of grain of all kinds continues fair, but not abundant. The bulk of the wheat still comes to hand in such miserable condition that few oars to buy it, whilst anything dry and good readily makes ls. per. qr. more money. Oats, beans, and barley meet a rates. fair demand at former Priem to the grower:— Wheat, white, new, 50s. to 60.., 631 b., per bushel ; red, new, 45a. to 56a., 6311 a. ; oats, nor, lab 1,11. per stone. Worm:arm, Fan 2. —There wu a short supply of wheat at this day's market, which sold at fully the rates of this day week. Barley 1.. per qr. dearer. Oats only taken in reteil. Beans and peas unaltered. You's, Fes. 2.—The attendance of farmer and factors at our corn market was by no means numerous, and the show of wheat was small. The extreme mildness of the weather has a deteriorating effect upon all corn, and wheat samples were of irregular quality. There wu a tolerable demand, and last week's prices were fully supported ; white aorta changed hands at 61.. to 665. ' • red, 4& . to 66e. per 36 stone. There was a pretty tolerable show of barley, the bulk of which was only of secondary quality, and all such moved off slowly at rather leas money, while choice lots were disposed of at former terms • malting, 38s. to 42 5 . per qr . ; grindin 32e. to 34a. per 30irione. There was a limited inquiry fdF oats, the allow of which was fair, and sales were effected slowly at prices the turn in favour of the seller ; the best sorts made 28e., ordinary 245. per 24 stone. For beans the demand was somewhat improved, but the supply was short, and prices ranged much the same as in the week preceding, old qualities making 48s. to 56e. ; new, 40s. to 455. per 38 stone. Malt, 70s. to 725. ; rye, 38s. per qr. Flour 48s. to 50s. per sack of 20 stone. Knuccatur, Pis. 2.—At our country markets, this week, we had very moderate supplies of all kinds of grain. Shippers were not anxious buyers, but haring • good load demand, prices of wheat and barley remained much the rme as last wee ,k • oats were about 6d. per qr. lower, Here, to-day, we had good supplies of barley and oats and fair of wheat. All well conditioned parcels sold readily at 114 week's prices ; middling condition rather lower. Wheat, 325. to 625. per qr. ; barley, 3'2s. to 445. Od ; oats, 23e. to 3fa. WATERFORD. FEB. 2.—We have had scant supplies of farmers' grain this week. and our dehveriss boat have rather decreased. From abroad the arrivals are limited to one cargo of Indian corn, and coastwise oar receipt' are very moderate. The trade has continued in a dull, lifeless state. but stocks being light holders have shown no die. positron to press sales, and prices generally have been well maintained. Irish wheat has sold readily at full rates, but the inquiry for foreign has been very limited, without any material change in value. Barley quite as dear, and for picked samples of malting rather more money has been paid. Oats, most of those on offer this week have been in wretched condition, and could only be sold by submitting to a reduction of 9d. to Is. per barrel ; anything really good has brought within a trifle of previous prices.
