The Locrer.sel exportation of coal has also been one of the di.turhiug induences upon our market. The commercial treaty with France, contrary to expectation, has not hitherto materially enlarged the demand for English coal in that country, though de comiumption there is sure ultimately to extend ; but the total quantity shipped to all fort t,;ii porta during l'uiO, ea compared with OIV, shows a large increase, the figures be ing, for 111110, 6,782,26 a toss ; and for 1 , 459, 6,4014,640 Was slows ts Iseid of 373,576 toms, of which a large portion went to China.

THE T:iXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 18, 1861. GREAT NoI:THERN RAILIVdIY. The Report of the ..iirectors to the half-yearly meeting to be held on Saturday neat has been issued. The abstract of the receipt, and disleineinenta on account of capital shows that there luu been received to the 314 of December, 1860, 11,4 4 97.072 f. 10s, and expended to the 31st of Deceenher, 11460, 11.625,6421. le. 7•1.; balance, 271,Z10f. 4s. Sal. The sum ci 94,2821. has been disbursed on the capital account during the put half-year, and may L e classifies' under the following heeds :-- For law and par• liaineutary busineaa, 6,621/. ; for purchasing land, a.c., 13,6524 7a. 3.1.; fur works on new lima in connexion therewith, 10,6376. 19e. 2d.; for additiocal accommodation at stations, 21,1 4 116.

Ss. 4,1 Total, 94,27 4 2/. lb. rid. The expenditure for land coneeita chiefly of the settlement of an outstanding claim for lend on the mom line. The work" in connexion with new lines are tlivas for the llctropoliain and North London Junctions. sod for the Hertfonl and Luton Railway. The additioual ac,xinnaelation provided at nations is, chiefly, in London for the cool and goods traffic, and at Grantham, which, having become an important junction, has required considerable enlargement. About 2e0,600,.. hen been re. coined during the half-year on account of the perpetual lour per l'eta. liebeature Stock, which now am onuts to 1.4;93,fX0W. 10a.; and the average interest on the whole of Cie bon-awed capital is about 41. 3s. per cent. TLe revenue account, as coley:sued with the come speeding period in lark, shows a decrease of 14,4111. les. The directors recommend that at the ensuing tuoetieg di. Wend he declaim' at the rats of W. 7s. lid. per cent. per annum m the original stock—giving for the lualf-year, 3 1 . Is. 9d. on the original stock ; 31. per cent. on the it stock ; and 3f. 7s. lid. per amt. on the at stock ; the balance of 91174. 13s. 10d. being carried to the next account. Going to the unusually wet US:4oth the produce of the agricultural districts through which the Great Norther') lieu cuss wait seriously diminished ; the grain traffic alone having been .lout 150,000 quarters, or 30,000 tons, less then in the corresponding half-year of DCA. The passenger traffic and the coal trade in the Lincolnshire district were also affected. But for this oonibination of ciscuilistancea the directors are satisfied there would have been a marked increase in the traffic of the half-year. Tb• altered system nod& which the coal trade on the line is now carried on has made it necessary to afford separate depot., and other conveniences, to each of the partial engnged in it; conaiderable expense has nesseaarily been incurred fur these purposes, and although the re venue derived from the mineral traffic has not increased during the past half-rear, there is every reason to believe that the trade is established on a sound Casio. Ex tensive renewal, on the main line have become flecessiu7, and it has been determined to use rails weighing WOW. to Cie yard iustead of 7211 e. as heretofore. It is Dot proposed to charge capital with any pro portion of the extra expense incurred for this additional weight, but to spread the whole coots of these renewals over a bruited number of years, and this half yaar's revenue is conse q uently charged with 13,0001. An increase of about 6,8001. is observable in the expenses of the loconiotive and carriage department, but this in owing to an u.lalitioual number of train miles having been run, the average cost per Mlle being very sightly in excess of the corresponding period. During the W.f.year the cuutpauy have worked over 32 miles of sew railway, counting of the Hertford, Luton, and Dunstable, and the Bourne and Emendine branches. The directors promote the following bills: —A hill for a railway between Doncaster and Wakefield. The Rae is 17 miles in length, and the cost of construction is estimated at 240,000 f. A bill to authorise permanent ar nusgenienta between the Great Northern soil the Hertford, Luton, and Dunstable Compas t a, on the basis of the agree ' meet hereinafter mentinod. A bill to enable the London sad North Western, Gnat Northers, and Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Compiniee to make equal rates for the traffic to and from all places to which they compete, south of the latitude of York, end to d:vide the net receipts arising therefrom. A bill to authorise the Greet Northern and Manthenter, Sheffield, and Lincolnahire Companies to construct a railway between Gerstein and Liverpool, with a station at the sou th mail of Livertaed, near the Brunswick Duck ; the estimated east being 410.0001., which sum it is proposed shall he pm. veiled in equal proportions by the two companies. A bill to authorise the coestructioa by the same two companies of a railway between Worksop, in Nottinghamshire, and Stavely, is Derbyshire, for the purpose of opening up the valu able coal district traversed by the proposed line, and at the same time to meet the local wants of the district ; the estimated cost being 270,0001. As agreement has been made between the Greet Northern mid Metropolitan Companies, giving the former company the right to run their trains on the Metropolitan line to Farriagdomstreet. The meeting will be made special for the purpose of notifying an agreement dated the tat of October last, between this and the Maochester,Sheffield, and Lincoln. shire Company, under the act obtained in the esesion It is substantially the same as that "Omitted to the special meeting in Jule, 1K.7 , and under which the joint traffic has since been conducted and divided. It has been approved by the Bean' of Trade, and has also been sealed by the Man chester, Sheffield. and Lincolnshire Company, and ratified unanimously by their proprietors at the last half-yearly meeting on the itnl January last. The working agreement between the Great Northern Company, and the Hertford, Luton, and Dunstable RailwayGompeny, for ten years, upon the terms stated in the report submittal to the lest half. yearly meeting. has been approved by the bard et Trade, subject to the ratification of the proprietor', and will also be submitted for the approval of the special meeting." kalu intc:tigcnce. 1 1 1ETROPOLITAN cot Nry COVETS.

At first I could get nothing from her, but my impression ine that be was a liber.il man, and fond of patronising artists. I have a talent for paing, and I showed hi m some o f m y peint ings, and paint he bought one of me, saying that he would ex hibit it, and if begot more for it, I should have the benefit of it. He said that my wife should be paid for every hour of time she was with him at the price of lessons. I dined with him afterwards at the Reform Club, when Mr. Wood burn said my wife would be satisfied with his liberality. [A letter was read from witness to Mr. Woodburn's exe cutors, asking for payment of 171. for two pictures which he bad bought of witness, and making no mention of his wife's claim.] I knew of my wife's claim at this time ; but I never meddled with my wife's account Mr. Minn called no witnesses, but addressed the jury, contending that the plaintiff had not made out his case, unsupported as the statement was by • single document ; whilst, on the other hand, there was the letter of Mr. Fennell, mudding for payment of his pictures, and making no mention of his wife's claim, and the letter of the wife asking for 50f., whilst the bill of parti culars subsequently sent in was for singing on sixteen even ings at ten guineas an evening. This latter claim, however, was felt even by the plaintiff's advisers to be so extraordi nary, that they now asked for only half that amount, and he (Mr. Minn) submitted that the jury would not be justi fied in finding for the plaintiff. The Lord Chief Justice said that if the jury were of opi nion that there was no contract between Mr. Woodburn and Madame Lotti, and that she had simple sung out of cour tesy, then they would find for the defendant ; but there was • good deal of evidence that there was to be payment of sonic kind, and therefore their attention would probably be directed to the consideration of the question, whether the plaintiff was entitled to recover the whole, or only a portion, of the claim. His lordship made some observations in reference to the particulars in the action, claiming 1681., double the amount now asked for. Mr. Brandt said the particulars contained—" and the plaiutiff ally claims 811." Mr. Kinn—But the writ claimed 168/. The Lord Chief JuAtice, in continuation, said that if the jury thought the plaintiff was entitled to recover, the nuts. lion of amount was entirely for them, and they would fix it with due con.ideration of all the circumstances. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 84/. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.

Tais was an action for breach of promise of Milrriagt, to which the defendant pleaded that he did not promise as alleged: and secondly, that be had been discharged from the promise if he bad made it. Mr. Collier and Mr. Jones were counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. Montagu Smith and Mr. Moder represented the de fendant.. The plaintiff in this action is a widow, about 36 years of age, and the had been married in 1841, at the age of 16. Her hus band died in 1&15, and since then she had kept the Temperance Hotel, at Falmouth. The defendant is • travelling draper, and in 1855 formed the acquaintance of the plaintiff, he being in the habit of frequenting her house in his turns around the neighboarli, generally remaining there from the Friday until the Saturday ; but eventually he continued to remain up till Monday, taking the plaintiff to chapel on the Sunday evenings. The plaintiff and defendant were regarded as engaged persons, and the latter frequently spoke of himself as t he future master of the house, and so matters went on until 1860, defendant havingwritten several letters to the plaintiff. In one he wrote—" Dear Emly, my, kind compliments to you, and hopping this will find you well as it leaves me. I hope to be here on Friday.—Believe me still, your affectionate adreirer, George Starke " In ano ther letter he spoke of "two loving hearts," alluding to his own and the plaintiff's, and wrote about his heart "leaping with joy " when be law her.

Sittiap at Nii Prima in Loados.—(Before Lord Chief Jus tice Erie load a Special Jury.) FENNILL (CIRRI) T. FORD AND ANOTHER-arm FOR A LADY iiINGINU TO AN OLD This was an action to reoover a sum claimed fur services rendered by the plaintiff's wife to a gentleman named Wood. burn, whose execnton the defendants were. Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Prentice, and Mr. Brandt appeared for the plamtdi ; and Mr. Phinn and Mr. Garth for the de. Nudists. Mr. Hawkins, in opening the ama, said that the plaintiff, Mr. George Keith Fennell, was a clergyman of the church of England, and curate of Enford, near Marlborough, in Wiltahire, and the defendants, Mr. Fonl and Mr. Berry, the executors of Mr. Woodburn, were sued for 80 guineas, for musical services. rendered by the wife of Mr. Fennell at Brighton sod in London. The plaintiff's wife was a lady of great eminence in the musical world her professional name being Madame Dotti She was living apart from her husband under an amicable ent, and she maintained herself and her two daughters by the use ciao of her musical talents. Mr. Woodburn was formerly • picture dealer, end he had entwined • considerable sum. Early in 1880 be war staving at Gemian.hotne, Brighton, which was • find-class bearding-house, and whilst there be SAW Madame Dotti, who was thee giving lessens in singing to Mr. Turner, the proprietor of the establishment. On one oc casion Madame Dotti was dining at the table d'hote, Mr. Woodhorn being there also, and Mr. Turner invited her to sing. Mr. Woodburn expressed great admiration of her singing, and subsequently engaged her to slug to him and his friends, her terms being ten guineas a night. She sang on several occasions at Brighton, and afterwards in London, and not having been paid the present action was brought. Mr. Thomas Frederick Beale said-1 am a music publisher, and it is part of my beldame to engage ladies to sing at parties. I have known Madame Dotti for three years. and have heard her sing at my own house. She is a aopraeo, and • very exeelleat one. The remuneration to a Lady like her fat tinging at private parties would be from 10 to 20 guineas. . . Croariatarnined—l never made en engagement for her; but she cisme to me with • view to my engaging bet to go oo a tour. It is usual to pay the fee the next morning when a lady is engaged to sing at a private party. Re-examined—lf the engagement were for • number of evenings the usual course would be to pay at the expiration al the time. Mr. Jobo Thomas Norris—l am member of parliament for Abingdon. In February. last year, I was staying at (3er man•house, Brighton. Mr. Woodburn was there. 1 law Madame Dotti there for the first time. On two or three evenings whilst I was there she sang. After I heard her sing the first time Mr. Woodburn said she would be there the nest day. I said, "If the lady is here don't put her to the inconvenience of singing so frequently," for I felt that I might bare incoavenieoced her by asking her to sing; and Mr. Woodburn said, "Don't be timid, I stand champagne and music, and I shall pay her." Champagne was in fact flowing about. Madame Dotti sang rely well, and she sang at various times from Bto 11. Mr. 01 oodburn was a yen , liberal man. He told me that Madame Dotti was the wife of a clergyman, that she wished to go upon the stage, and he supposed be must find some money for her. Crose-einunined-1 cannot tell the precise time when I first, saw Madame Dotti, but it was about the time of Mr. Du Cane's motion in the House of Commons. I first met Mr. Woodburn at German•honse. He was a gentleman be tween 80 and 90 years old. I ham no doubt in my mind that Mr. Woodburn said in so many words, "I will pay her." (The will of Mr. Woodburn was put in. it contained • number of legacies of 1,0001. and 5001. each, and, amongst others, I,ooof to a professor of music, 5001. to the British Institution, and SOUL to the Society of Artists in Water Colours ; mad the personalty was sworn under 30,0001.) Mr. Edward Tamer, the proprietor of German-house, said—ln the beginning of last year I was taking leases. in mining from Madame Dotti, and I paid her • guinea a lemon if she came to my house and half-a-pines if I went to hers. In the early 'art of February Madame Dotti sang in Mr. Woodburn 's presence. He said she was the best stager he bad ever heard, and asked me what her terms were for going out. I told him what she had told me-10 guineas for an evening. After that she came to my house whilst he was there, and sang. Mr. Wood. burn said Le would pay all. Afterwards I met Mr. Woodburn at the Elabloaiere Hotel, and Madame Dotti and her husband were there. Ido not know whether she sang, for 1 was not there in the evening. Mr. Woodburn was a very liberal man. I have hoard that he on one occasioa took a party on to the continent. and on another occasion he paid lb. 10s. for a dog for a lady he had casually met. Mrs. Fennell—My name before I was married was NMI.. Darr. I was chosen by Rossini to sing at the inauguration of his statue in Italy, and I am a graduate of the College of St. Cecilia, at Rome, and I have a certificate from the Academy at Paris. I had au engagement at the opera here some years ago. I have instructed families of rank in this country, including those of Lord Cowley end Lord Sudeley. In the early part of February I saw Mr. Wood burn at German-house, and Le asked me if I sang professionally, and what were my terms. I said ten guineas at the smallest; and he asked me if I would sing for him and his friends at German-house, I east when tasked him what his terms were he Paid he would give ass more than I asked. He engaged me to go to Ger mes-bouse, aad I gang there four nights in February. la Lemke I received • letter from Mr. Woodbuni to go to Brightoa to amuse his own party there. I went down at my owe expose. This was in April. I sang, as before, on four Mr. Woodburn asked me to go to the Saigon** and I went and meg there. Mr. Wood burn, en that occasion, said I was a lady whom he wished to do a good deal for, and be offered me 50/. for the our pose of setting on foot • oestiert, but I had no intention of giving a concert, and therefore I refused the money. He also offered rue money on account, but I saki, "No, you will pay me all together." He said, " Very well." On other meanie°s he made statements as to paying me. He had my poressit taken, that he might present it to my husband. He wished me to pto see • picture gallery, but I said I could not lose my time, I had a lesson to give ; and he said I was not to mitd that, se he would pay me for every hour I lost. Crom-mamined—ls August I had heard of Mr. Wood burn's death, and I wrote asking for 501. I asked for this amount without calculating it, for I was afraid of losing all ; but when I came so calculate I found it was much more. Accosting to a just calculation there is 105/. due to me. In Feknery Mr. Woodburn owed me 40 guineas, but I never saw him from that time until April, nor did I apply for the mosey, because he said he should see me again. Nobody elm ever owed me 40 guineas without my applying for it. I rag at the &Monier. on two occasions. Re-exsaihred--I can say that I missed frequent opportu nities of making mosey by lesions, in consequence of attending Mr. Woodburn. I should not have gone to Brighten it Mr. Woodburn= had not asked me to do so. I have ee many occadoss get 10, 15, and 25 guineas for sing in&rotaa evening, an never less than 10 guineas.

My wife and THE BLACKBURN WEAVERS 41W THEIR EMPLOYERS. -- In every instance, with one exception, the Blackburn women have rejected the terms of the em ployers, and have left their loom@ with the intention not to return until the masters either promise to pay the old rate of wages or consent to run their mills and sheds only four days per week. The exception is in the cue of Mr. C. Alston, who ' it is stated, has guaranteed to make up the difference of the 5 per cent. reduction by bonuses. The town 1/1 in • very excited state, and not hue than 14,000 persons —weavers beamers, lowneni, and drawers- In—are now unemp loyed and patrolling the streets. The operatives em ployed by Mr. W. H. Hereby, Brook house, and Mr. iblart, Bank Top, are at present working under an arrangement which will expire next Thursday. The following mills, we understand, are work ing full time at the old rate of wages :—Peel Mill • Oldie's Nova Scotia, Ashburn's Paradise Mill, Emmett and Co.'s, Holden Brother*, Cleaveratreet ; BirtwietWs, Green wood's, Holden Brothers, Dais y ; Marsden and Clark, Clnunley's, Lower Darwin • Parson-dime Mill ; Bennington and Bury ; Ward's Swellowetreet Mill ; Shuttleworth and Co.'s; Hopwood's Brunswick-strest Mill • Brandwood's, Knowles and Co.'s • Sager, /leaden and Aspen; Primrose Mill • and Whalles, -neratseet Mill. At Church four of the employers ve agreed to the terms of the operatives, and their mills are again at work. At Enfield the whole are still stopped. At Darwen, where the notices have been only partial, negotiations have been made with operatives to resume work on their own terms. At Accrington there is a similar movement, while at Black burn Mr. W. Birtwistle's operatives, who left work on Thurs day, will return to their looms this day on their own ter ms, viz.., short time and 5 per cent. reduction. It was rumoured that two other firms hail followed the example of Mr. Birt wistle. On Thursday evening a crowded meeting of operatives was held in the Itechabites' Hall, when a resolution wee passed declaring that the operatives adhere to the resolu tion agreed teat the great gathering last Sunday. A large out-door meeting was held in the Market-place on Friday, and was attended by at least 5,000 operatives. Speeches in favour of the policy already adopted by the operatives were mule, and a resolution was carried to the effect that they should not resume work at the reduced rate of wages unless short time be conceded. The stoppages of so many looms have of course caused • considerable reduction in the consumption of yarn, and the cotton spinners have therefore taken the necessary steps to reduce production. They have given notice in most instances of the adoption of short time in their various establishments. On Thursday evening, a large meeting of the weavers el Prestos was held in the Spinners' and Minders' Institute, Church-street, Preston, for the purpose of considering the hest means of supporting the operatives who would be out on strike at Blackburn, in consequence of the refusal on the part of the masters to accede to their demands. The meeting was also convened for the purpose of eliciting additional support on behalf of the operatives out on .trite at Colne, at which place the strike has now lasted 35 weeks. Mr. E. Frankland, of Collie, and Mr. E. Walker, of Blackburn, addressed the meeting at length ; as did also Mr. Swift, the secretary to the Preston Weaves' Association. The feeling of the meeting was unanimous as to the necessity of " running " short-time in preference to a reduction of wages, and a resolution was panned pledging the operatives present to support, if necessary, both the people of Colne and of Blackburn. For that pur pose it was decided to make • levy of led. a loom throughout Preston. Upwards of 700 operatives were in attendance ; and it was stated that four of Mr. W. Dawson 's weavers bad received notice to leave in con sequence of collecting from the hands at the factory gates small sums of money in support of the Colne strike.—At m ient, all the mills are " running " full time, as nensi, in THE LONDON FREIGHT MARKET.

His name is Jenkin Jones, of Lien ddewi, Cardigan ; the other man (Ellis) belongs to London, or near thereto. The apprentioe boy is programing slowly, and will, it is hoped, be able to appear before the magistrates to-day. THE LONDON AND WESTMINSTER BANK AND THE CO;;TIICUL Bann or LONDOS.—We are authorised to state that arrangement& have been made for the transfer of the businow of the Commercial Bank of London to the Loudon and Westminster Bank, who will for the present continue the business at the °Mose of the Commercial Bank of London, in Lothbury and Henrietta-etrset, Cowart garden. The Great Eastern is to leave Eugland the first west in March, for Norfolk, in Virginia, where sbe has been ~aced a cargo, chiefly of cotton, for England, the freight of which will amount to 74000 MARKETS. COTTON.-lAvEßroot, Fee. 16.—The sales of cotton to day are estimated at 5.00 boles. The market has again bean quiet, but prices ars without change from yesterday. COTTON COODB. MANCHESTR; na.l6.—Owing to the dearness of money, the.unfavourable commercial ac counts from India, and the Blackburn strike, the business treanacted this week, previous to the complete suspension which we had to reportyestenlay, was of very smallamount. There is great irregularity in quotations for goods, and in many cases hardly an attempt to determine them. T cloths and long cloths have been almost entirely neglected, except by those who are looking out for cheap lots. Some makers of the former article are still engaged on previous orders. There is erect stagnation in printers, and those who are without orders are willing to take so much lower rates than producers who are still supplied with contracts to go on with that there is considerable va riety in the price of these fabrics. A few sales of 7 lbs. and lbe. 40-inch shirtinp have been made for China at very low rates, but these are exceptions to a general disp!.. sitien on the part of merchants to avoid purchasing in foods of this width, and the downward tendency is rather decided. The 36-inches have also been neglected. The week's business in yarns has been of very trilling amount. The demand has for the present ceased entirely, and had for some time past been quite insufficient to take off the i production. Stocks are consequently accumulating, so as to tell seriously on prices, and spinners are discussing ra ther freely the prospect of working short-time. Quota tions are extremely irregular, especially in warps and cope for home consumption, which have been a good deal pressed for sale. Doubled yarns are slightly farmer than singles. Quotations generally have given way from jd. to id. per lb. since Tuesday, but buyers for all markets are holding too much aloof to test values with any certainty. The strike at Blackburn has of course a most prejudicial effect on yarns for that place, and in some of them the decline has been lA. to 21. during the last month. WOOLLEN CLOTH.— LEEDS, FEB. 16.—Thers was • very indifferent attendance of merchants in the cloth balls this morning. The tone of the market was dull, and litW business was transacted. HARDWARE.—BIRMINGHAM, FEB. 16.—The trade of this town has fallen off again this week. The orders on account of the country trade have declined ; and in the foreign trade there is not much prospect of improvement, the advance In the rate of discount being a further induce ment to the merchants who do a commission business to abstain from business as much as possible until the money market is easier. If the country trade kept up, this would be of comparatively little importance ; but it is dull in almost every department, and the demand for spring goods has been, up to this time, on a very moderate scale. At the manufactories in which the principal staple trades are carried on the men have been working average time this week ; but orders are very closely worked up, and present appearances are indicative of quietude generally. CORN. —CAMBRIDGE, Fr 16.—Our market was very dull, at last week's prices. Wheat, red, 40a. to 48a. ; white, 60s. Barley, 28.. to 46e. Beans, 30s. to 40.. Osta, 20s. to 28s. pet qr.

LEICESTER, FEE. 16.—There was a fair quantity of wheat exhibited at our corn market to-day, and the attendance was tolerably good. The bulk of the supply consisted of new samples, the condition of which, owing to the varied state of the weather during the past few days, was some what irregular. Fine wheat firm ; inferior rather lower; old white qualities made 70e. to 78s. ; new ditto, Ms. to feis. ; old red, 64e. to 68s. ; new, 555. to 61:k. per 36 stone.

There was • middling supply of oats, the demand for which was pretty tolerable, and holders generally succeeded in establishing former term for all good sorts ; ordinary ditto moved off slowly: old, 325. to 365. ; new, 24e. to 28s. per 24 stone. The supply of beans was by no; means large, and buyers evinced more disposition to effect purchases, consequently recent RIMS were fully supported; old, 56.1. to 585.; new, 34a. to 40e. per 38 stone. The finest flour made 48s. ; seconds, 454. ; thirds, 435. per 20 stone. NEWCANTLI, FEB. 16.—A good supply of farmer wheat, but in way so ft condition, and • fair clearance effected at a trifle under last week's prices. In coast and foreign wheat little business doing, buyers offering ls. per qr. less money, which holders refuse to concede ; prices, therefore, noon nay unaltered. Flour dull sale, but held at full prices. Malting barley moderate in demand, and late rates sup. ported. Oats rather quiet, and prices unaltered. Beans and pass not much wanted. NORWICH, FRB. 15.—Wheat was in moderate supply at today's market and some of the rumples ware in poor con dition, so thatthe sales mode of all descriptions were in favour of the buyer, without however much alteration in value. There was less barley offering, and prices remained without change, for both malting and distilling sone. White wheat is quoted this evening, 545. to 6th. ; red ditto, 525. to 560.; damp and inferior ditto, 49a. to 525. ; best chevalier malting barley, 435. to 455.; runs chevalier ditto, 40s. to 42a; dis tilling ditto, 311. to 345. per qr.

The weather during the week has bees very &enviable, and the bulk of the new wimples came to hand in poor °au dition. Fine dry samples fully as dear ;in other sorts not much doing ; u white sorts were disposed of at 68a. to 79e. ' • new ditto, 52.. to 68s. ; old red, 64e. to 735. ; new, 475. to 63e., per 36 stone. There was about an average show of barley, and the demand proved firm at the extreme currencies of the week previous for all good samples, but inferior moved off slowly ; malting barley sold at 365. to 440. ; foreign, Seale, 43e. to 475. per qr. • ' old grinding, 335. to 355. ; new, 30e. to 33e. per A/ stone.

Superior flour, 465. to 525. ; Oe ditto, 42e. to 45e. per 20 stone. Oxman, FM. 16.-A large quantity of corn was on offer at this market today; but few inclined to buy except from secearity, and consequently prices were lower. Grain of all Muds, which was in had condition, was a complete drug is the market, and sauoely noticed. Prrzamotouoz, Fn. 16.-At our market to-day we had a large supply of wheat, which met a 'low sale at barely the prices of this day week. Barley dull and lower. Oats in demand and rather dearer.

Id. per stone ; beans, old, fibs. per qr. of 5321ba. _ _ _ READING, Fen. 16.—The corn market opened very flatly this morning. The rise in the rate of interest by the Bank of England affects the trade in corn by limiting transactions to the narrowest compass. There was a fair attendance, but really the business transacted was of a nominal character, and trash, must be quoted dull at last week's rates. Other articles without venation. llocinurren, Fr& 16.—There was a fair supply of grain placed on the stands at this exchange, many of the parcels of which changed bands at about last week's rates. The majority of the samples, however, were damp and in ferior, and this, added to the indisposition on the pert of millers and rnealmen to increase their stocks at the present time, caused the trade to rule exceedin,ely dull. Beat of white realised from 64r. to 70.. ; and other lots C r"i 665, to 608. Red sold at Ws. to 66a. for b est lota, and WA. to Ms. for other kinds ; but the trade remaioal in a very depr esse d condition. Thee was little erasing in the barley trade, and although that description of grain was slightly lower in price business was very dull. Oats were rather less in price, but a few of the primeet old kinds maintained their former value. Best beans command the rates previously given, but other sorts are not noticed. Peas as before. The flour trade continues to rule very dull, millers only purchasing in retell ; prices, however, are about the same. . . . Wuseacu, F. 16.—A moderate supply of grain of all kinds at this day's market. Wheat, 11 dry, and of good quality, readily makes last week's rates, whilst all below is bad to sell. Ws and beans dull, but not cheaper, unless foe the wont of each kind. Prices to the grower :—Wbeat, white, new, 60a. to 60a., Whs. per bushel ; red, new, 455. to 56a, 631bs. ; oats, new, la to Is.

Morrison, the New Zealand govern ment London agent, stating that a buck and two ilees, the gift of Lord Petro to the colonists of Nelson, were about to be shipped on board the Dons Anita, which was to sail from London for this port (Nelson) in the last week of September. We trust the vessel will have a good passage, and that we shall be fortunate enough to see the deer landed here in safety, an, once on shore, they cannot fail to thrive well in this country. The thanks of the colonists are due to Lord I'etre for his kindness, and also to Mr. J. Morrison, abs has laboured for some time past to gratify the wishes of the gentlemen who, when he was on • visit to the colony two years ago, ex pr essed a strong desire to introduce the red deer into this province.—New Zealand Examiner.
