The Vice-Chancellor to-day delivered judgment in this case. which came on upon a motion by the infant plaintiff, the Marquis of Bate, by the Earl of Harrowby, his next friend. for as injunction to restrain the defendant, Colonel Crichtoo Stuart, from further proceeding with a petition to the Court of Session in Scotland, end from instituting any ether proceedings in Scotland or elsewhere without the leave of the court. It appeared that by an order of the court made in February. 1:460, the defendant, Colonel Crichton' Stuart, General Stuart. and lady Elizabeth Moore, were appointed guardians of the infant plaintiff, the Marquis of Bute, during his minority. In April, I irk, Lady Elizabeth Moore removed the infant plaintiff to Scotland without the leave of the court, and in the following J uly Lady Elizabeth Moore was removed from being • guardian of the infant, and was ordered to deliver him up to the custody of General Stuart. It appeared that various proosedinp had subsequentlytaken place in Scotland with reference to the guardianship of the infant plaintiff, and that an appeal was pending in the Howse of Lords, and the present motion was to restrain the further prosecution of such proceedings pending the appeal. Mr. Bacon.Q.C. Mr. Malins,Q.C., Mr.C. T. Simpson, and Mr. Ho th ouse ap peared for the several parties. The Vice-Chancellor said—A conflict of jurisdiction is any rase is an evil: but in a matter so important and delicate as the guardianship of infants, such a conflict is a calamity. It is the study of this court to pre vent such an evil In prowtion as the power of this wart exervised under the Great Seal is enormous, so it is the habit and duty of its judges to be cautious and careful in its exert. cite. The system on which this court manages the affairs of infants is a benign sod kindly system. It prevents, and where it cannot prevent it moderates and soothes all angry dispositions. The property of infants is never more unrightemady squandered than in resetting angry quarrels as to guardianship. Thu Beat object is the benefit of its wards, and this court knows so jealousy oo matters of jurisdiction which an in terfere with the paramount duty of securicg every bees& which its wards can obtain from any other quarter. Between an English jurisdiction and • Scotch jurisdiction, where the courts of both countries sit under the authority of the same Sovereign of the United Kingdom, it is of essen tial importance that an harmonious action should prevail, and that all °milieu of jurisdiction should be avoided. What seemsextraorilinary in this ease, and what has not been satisfactorily accounted for, in that the defendant, Colonel Crichton Stuart, whose name appears as an active litigant in the Scotch court, seems to be • reluctant and helpless actor in these proceedings. All the orders of this court were and still are approved by him. His counsel ea this occasion are instructed to say, and have properly said, that he has lest all his assistance to carry the order of this overt into effect, but at the same time be is advised that he must claim to be allowed to proceed is Scotland in defiance of the order, of this court—orders which he believes to he for the benefit of the infant—but which his Scotch advisers tell him it is his duty to endeavour to set aside by proceeding in the Scotch court. I cannot doubt that it is the duty of this court to interfere by its injunction to relieve him in this state of perplexity, and to restrain him and his advisers is Scotland from further litiptios pending the appeal to the House of Lords. This exit aunt permit itself to doubt that the Scotch court and those who are erring in these procesdinos in Scotland, will recognize the order which I purpose Bowl* make. The of that order is to restrain as indecorous 171:17consistent with the dignity of this court, which acts under the authority of the (treat riesl;toexerche eta power for say other than to forbid • cost inuance of such • con tent till tiCr s apreine peer of the House of Lords shall have settled the gnsstis.. Lout Moe, in the case of " [weedy v. last of " (2 Swans.. 323), said, with mehrease ie rinse if this Ida& " It will be difficult to do MiciaWeis the inures Is Zoete,' aid the courts in Scot madl the courts in Scotland aid the courts in England." Earley esihramael lawyer will concur is the wisdom of this henipent view. It is the view which forbids the conti nents of a misebievous eobeict. This court always enter. taw, as it intoned to entertain, a tender reelect for the authority of the Court of Session. Its judges are owe stews distguished learning and ability shed a lustre on their country ; and they have is this matter done their haat to administer that system of law which it is their duty to uphold. This court, on au applieation hire the parrot, ought not to withhold whatever maistiume it ma give to maintain the dignity and utility et that mart, by restraining the defendants in this suit fran or being made instruments to continue, to make it theorem of worm, than useless contentions. On that principle it is that I minuet refuse the present application to restrain the delendaat, Colonel Crichton Stuart, and still more his ad visers and agents, from continuing the contest in Scotland, when the nominally eouteodiug parties have really no ad. verse interests. As the real estates of the Marquis of Bete is Scotland, and his rights and interests is them, must he properly governed by the law of Scotland, it is sot proper to extend the injunction to proceedings regard* them. In other respects the injunction must go secordieg to the prayer of the bill till the further order of this court. COMIZIT r. WoOD.—ALLLUID roust riresintorneter.

('sines stated that the next witness would have been Mrs. Trahense, but it was impossible for her to appear at present, on account of the death of her sister, - Min Talbot, who had died in town yesterday afternoon, haviug come up to be present at the trial. Mr Thos. Goddard. of St Fagan's, had been the testator's 'Mate agent rune 185 s, but had known him 15 or 1G years previously. Testator naked witness to manage his property for him. baring discontinued the services of Mr. Halkett, his previous agent. Witness put in a great number of letters of business, in one of which the testator fixed wit nose's salary at 1201. per annum, to commence from Nov. 1, Itol4. Witness was consulted by testator about some ex. Semis* alterations which he wished to make in his house at St. Hilary, sad for which he had obtained an estimate from Mr. James, a builder. The deceased wished to live part of the year at St. Hilary, finding us he did that Codriglan was too cold for him in the winter. Had a settlement of accounts with him on the Ist of November, 1859. Had no reason whatever to doubt his perfect competency to transact his affairs. The deceased's income arising out of the St. Hilary estate was 680/. a year, and not from 1,700/. awl 1,0007. a year, . . _ - eMas - Ariainined—Mr. Traberne had nothing to do with the advowson of St. Hilary. He only possessed one of the two manors there were in the parish. He told witness that he had dismissed Mr. Halkett because, that gentleman baring removed to Swansea, it was inconvenient for him to have his agent living so fat off. Swansea was 45 or 50 miles from eoednglan, but there was a railway. The memory of the deceased was very good, but he occasionally forgot the aims of a farm or of • tenant ; but when witness mentioned names to him he always selected the right one. In April, 1850. witness gave Mos Traherne notice that she most pay the testator 40f. a year as rent for the manor-house at St. Hilary. The testator said his sister was very well off, and it was not right that any holding should go on as her tenancy of the manor house as bad done. Reexamined—This was after arrangements had been made for the repairs of the manorbouse. It had been arranged that a sum of 5001. should be laid out on the home, so that 101. would be 6 per cent. on the outlay. MINI Traherne said she was quite willing to pay the rent in question. Mr. Halkett was about 70 years of age when he teased to be the testator's agent. The whole rental of BS. Hilary would probably be 1,200/. or 1,400/. a year. The tes tator was lord of the manor, and he always took a great interest in the parish church arid everything connected with it. The Rev. L Thorns" bad known the deceased twelve Jean, and bad been vicar of St. Hilary since DM. The de cowed was much looked up to by the parishioners, and tea salad in all local matters. In 1836 there was a scheme for restoring the church, and the parishicsers put the whole matter into the hands of the testator. The witness then identified a great number of letters, some of which are no ticed in the report of Sir H. Cairns's speech. In one of them the testator said he could bear witness to what his excellent and revered friend the Marquis of Lansdowne had done for the church in his own district ; and he proceeded to criticise other political celebrities, but the passage was omitted in reading. In another place the testator remarked that the bishop (Dr. Thirlwall, who was present in court) had preached for the Additional Curates Society, and that his lordship had " quite erhamted the subject of the prop gation of the gospel." (A laugh.) After the perish meeting on the subject of rebuilding the churchyard wall, it occurred to witness that the scheme would materially interfere with the testators plans for restoring the church. The testator had explained to him his grievance about the church lase. He said his father had married a Miss Edmonds, who had a joint inheritance in the whole of the St. Hilary property, and that the tithes and glebe land were part and parcel of ' that property ; that his father had renewed the lease in his own name, and had bequeathed it to his see by a Raced • . Those were the lands formerly in the possession of he lirother, and now in that of the defendant. The ' deceased was very much annoyed about the matter. He aid be did not like litigation, but the property ought to have been his by right. A letter written from Lord Caw- doe's mansion at Stackpool was reed, in which the testacy spoke in the highest terms both of the noble lord and hie bow. He observed that his lordship was a model to the aristocracy, for, with the exception of a few months in Loudon, he plead the whole of the year at home dispensing hospitality. He added that his lordship was the Thane of Cawdor, and was related, on his mother's side, to the Howarda of Carlisle. He said that the Bishop of St. David's was "a bishop after his own beast—not a low churchman." (Lawhar.) [He also added some comparisons which were not real He very much disapproved of the steps Mrs . George Traheme hail taken in enclosing her husband's rave with • railing. Ha said that the tomb was too large for any one family in the parish to occupy, especially without a faculty ; and be very much objected to the railing, which, he said, was as innovation. It was, moreover, a very ignorant thing, he said, to make it so near the church tower ; and that he had known a tower cracked by such a course. He wrote to witness, assigning to him the use of his faculty pew, and dieseling him to keep it locked. He wee afraid that Mrs. George Traheree, who had hitherto occupied it, might claim it on the ground of long usage. He had received the pew with his property. Witness at first hesitated to adopt the arrangement ; but after some further conversation, ft was carried out. Witness bad many opportunities of observing his conduct down to the time of his death, and never deface led the least sign of incompetence in him. He was alma of cultivated mind ; but he bad many peculiarities. He was very shy and reserved, and it required very close attestion to follow his caivermation. Those who did not know him very well might think that he was talking inoohereetly, whereas he was really very clear and rational in what be said. He would change hie subjects very rapidly, and not always wait for answers. Crowexamined—Witnean had summoned the vestry meet. M. The wall was not in a very bad state, but witness had observed one breach in it. Had never heard Mr. Talmo* gay the wall was a disgrace to the parish. It was time worn, but unleasthe church had been restored it required nothing but &little mending. The churchyard was beauti fully kept; and was planted with Sowers. Ms. George Tn. herne's gardener kept the south side • and Mrs. Jobe Tra herne's the north side, which meta; larger portion. Mr. George Traherne's grave was on the south side. Redhead that some starving mountain sheep had got through the hedge in the winter. Had given notice for the at Mrs. George Treheme's instance. She had already Bedded ou the whole plan. The testator bad spoken to witness about the church lease before the unpleasantness about the vestry, but be bad never till then talked of agitating the question. The plans for the restoration of the church did not • MVO from Mr. Scott till just before the tesiater's death. Could not say bow that was. The memory of the deceased had latterly become impaired as to names and dates. Mrs. Tra hems would sometimes supply his dairiencise, but not al ways. Had never said that. except an inexplicable and remedies' irritation against some members of his family, there was nothing particular in his conduct. Recollected some word or expression suggested by Mr. George M. l'ra kerne, and conveying the idea that the testator's actions were remarkable towards his family. Witness replied to "Cerlaialy, if there wan no cause for them." Under stood the defendant to refer to his uncle's refusal to see him. Did not think that it was remarkable that testator should tan Mrs. G. nuns, end his sister out of the faculty pew. Mrs. G. Tethers* sheered witness a letter in which the tes tator asked her for the name of her solicitor, as he intended to take mamma with respect to " the St. Hilary inroads." Could not exactly ay what that meant, but supposed that it referred to the church lands. Saw the deceased ten dam before his death —he apparel to witness as if he was breaking up ; but he seemed perfectly conscieus of what was god ea about him. Had never said that he was not. Mr. G. Traberne asked wham if he bad not told Dr. Bailey that his uncle was breaking up, bodily and mentally. Witness replied, " Ca tainly not mentally, nothing of the kind." Never told Mts. Bailey that the testator was scarcely conscious. Might have told her that be was news sleepy than usual. Did not epee to appropriate the faculty pew till witness had heard that Mrs. George Traberne acquiesced in the arrangement. Mr. Wm. Parry James, of Cardiff, builder, described the business transactions which he had had with the deceased. Mr. Trailers)e appeared to the last to be quite competent to understand his affairs. Mr. Edwin St John, of Oakley, Northamptonshire, who had known the diceass4 12 veers, said that Mr. Traberne lad told him that the Sandersons was an old Glamorgan. shire family, end that, as he wished them still to have a stake in the county, lie intended to give Mr. Sanderson • smell property. Croes-examined—Mn. Trnherne was a connexion of witness's wife. Mr. Trabeme had never before talked to witness about his will, but he frequently did about Ma affairs. Never witnessed any unseemly exhibitioa of meor excitement on his part, but had seen some irrita y. He had of late been oblivious of names and dates. He was a man of an intellectual mind, and his thoughts seemed to go faster than hi, powers of expression, so that one subject would run into the other, but all he said was well worth brewing. He was nervous and talkative, and persons who did not know him might take that for want of courtesy Here • juror asked if there was any necessity for hearing ane more evidence. Sir C. Cresswell—lt is probable that there is a large body of evidence on the otber side. The Jury—Well,we have heard enough on this side. Sir C. Creswell—You must not form an opinion at this early stage of the case. The Rim. C. Lewis, another Glaraorganshire clergyman, said that the deceased visited him a few days before his death, and conversed with him for a couple of hours. He rams to see witness's church, the tower of which had fallen ;lland which witness contemplated restoring. Be of the antiquarian researches that wore going ea in Monmouthshire, and remarked that many valuable mann scripts had been preserved in duplicate by an excellent ow tom which prevailed in the siddio moo of setting tior younger members of families to copy as an exercise any documents of which they might have some into possession. Cross-examined—He was peculiarly courteous. Never heard a rough or profuse word from bou, The Bev. Thomas Stacey, of Cardiff, precentor of Liao daff Cathedral, ELT, 11/0011aT evidence. He appeared very indignant at people saying that be was insane because be bad given a sum of money to Bishop Grey fur his missions. He told witness that he intended to leave witness's son the next presentation of the living o f St. Hilary, but could not say whether he afterwards told him that he had done so. the court then rose. THE FATAL OCCURRENCE IX A CITY SEWER. Mr. Serjeaut Payne, the coroner for the City of London, held an inquest on Saturday, at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, on the bodies of the tour unfortunate men who lost their lives in the City sewer on Alfred Ward, The names of the deceased men were Julio Devaney, a 45 ; Patrick Byes, 32 ; Daniel Harrigan, 50 ; and Alf Ward, 20. Mr. W. Haywood, the engineer god surveyor to the City Sewers Commission, was the first witness called, and he produced plans, showing the sewer in which the unfortu nate men met with their death. He had been to the mouth of the sewer in Farringdon-street, where it discharged itself into the Fleet sewer. At that part of the sewer it was 12 feet high and 6 feet wide. This was, in fact, the Fleet sewer. The sewers were well ventilated, and he should have thought that no vapour could accumulate to cause death. He thought that death might have been caused by a sudden dis charge of chemical refuse of some description in the imme diate vicinity into the Fleet-lane sewer. He believed that I DO refuse from the City Gas Works was flushed into the 1 1 sewer. There were penalties against companies doing thi s . 1 The sewer did not require flushing, because it kept itself clean. In the Fleet sewer, there was a great reaction of the atmosphere, owing to the power of the tide and the number of small sewers that empty into it. Mr. Lewis C. Hashp, the Inspector of Sewers to the Com missioners, mid that having heard of the accident, he pro ceeded to the spot, and found that three of the men bed been recovered. After the receding of the tide on the after noon of the same day, he went there and examined the sewer in Seacole-lane and the Fleet sewer. The candles and lamp burned, and he found no difficulty of breathing. The sewer was last examined on January 4th, and in conse quence of the report then made, the men went down to clear away the refuse. W. Blackmore, foreman, said that on the previous evening the deceased went down the same sewer, and were at work from one o'clock until nine at night, and they then made no complaint. Mr. Thomas Folley, the foreman of the underground men, said that on Friday morning he let Ryan, one of the de ceased, down the sewer, and 110 then smelt nothing particu lar. When he called at eight o'clock, the Bride-lane men answered and came up, but the Fleet sewer men did not. He then went down into the sewer and saw some rats there dead, which was very unusual. The smell was bad, and he expected that something had happened to the men. He bad a naked candle, which burned well, but when he got into Fleet-lane at the junction he felt a great difficulty of breath ing. There was a very bed sulphurous smell from different directions. He called the men several times, but they did not answer. At last be saw two of the men, with a candle stuck `the wall burning over them. They seemed to have died without a struggle. Their tools were lying at their side. He could not get nearer then on acount of the sulphurous small. He then got out of the sewer, and opened the side entrance into the Fleet sewer, in order to let in the fresh air. He then got assistance, and the three men were got out and removed to the hospital. The men who went down into the sewer with the last wit ness were called, and gave corroborative evidence. Mr. Wooda, the house surgeon at the hospital, said he bed examined the bodies, and was of opinion that the first three men who were brought in died from asphyxia, from inhaling foul air, and the last man (Ward) from drowning. He did not find any noxious vapour from the first three, bat be smelt it from the mouth of the fourth. The weight of the carbonic acid was one-and•a-half per cent. more t ha n fresh air. He stated that in 1852 three cases were brought to the hospital of a similar character. After some further evidence the inquiry was adjourned until Fridsy next. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

THE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE DURUM THE ROYAL Paorramosi.—kfahomet Ali Khan, who, it will be recol lected, endeavoured, os 'Tuesday last, to thrust a petition into the Qneen's carriage, and, on being baulked in doing so, immediately attempted suicide by giving himself three fearful gashes across the throat with a clasp knife, has been ever since • patient in Charing-cross Hospital, the character of his wounds being such as to render it dangerous to remove him in order to bung him before the police magistrate on the charge of attempted self-murder. The policeman who arrested him showed the greatest presence of mind, for by placing his hand over the wounds he at once preveatad say extensive hemorrhage until the arrival of the sargeoa, sad thus in all probability saved the man ' s life. It is a remark able circumstance connected with this distressing occurreftee -------- that although there were thousand" is the street at the time it took place, it was witnessed by so few—indeed, so rapid was the rush at the royal carnage, sod the arrest of the man who did so, that even the beefeaters in attendance had not time to observe it. When Bellingham shot Mr. Percival, William Jordan, who caught in his arms the murdered minister as ha fell, did not hear the report of the pistol. THE MYETERIOVE ATTEMPT TO MURDER IN Dnaux.--Joseph Dwyer was, on Friday, charged at the Dublin daddies, with attempting to murder William Mill holland, on the 27th of December last. The particulars of this extraordinary case will be fresh in the recollection of our raiders. Mr. Conan, who appeared for the prisoner, said he would advise him to plead guilty to the count ch arging him with shooting with intent to kill. The plea was en- tered, and the prisoner ordered to stand by till the fol lowing day, when at:Uinta in mitigation of pualahment were to be filed. _ _ _ [Advertimment.l—Wz rIND Du BAuty's Hr.ALTH -11:1117011/110 ALVITA ARALCA FOOD th- safest remedy for habitual constipation, indigestion (dyspepsia), coughs, colds, uthma, bronchitis, consumption. diarrhea; nervousness, bilious ness, torpidity of the User, Ac. —Andrew 0re, 31.D., FAL S.: Dr. Harvey, Dr. Shorland.

COTTON GOODS. —MANCHESTER, FEB. 9. —Discou raging &dailies from almost all of our foreign markets continue seriously to cripple the demand for yarn and cloth. There is a little business for the home trade, but the demand from all quarters is insufficient to arrest the downward tendency of prices which has prevailed for some weeks past. During the month of January yarns declined id. to id. per lb. ; in some instances rather more. ludia shirting. gave way 3d. to 4id. per piece for 711,5. and Nibs., and lid. on rather lighter makes ; India madspollams, jacconets, mulls, long cloths, T cloths, and printers, were mostly re duced about Id. or lid. per piece; figured shirting' 3d. per Lie:During the past week the symptoms of weakness been more evident, especially in the yarn market, and partly owing to the owner state of cotton, the decline in some kinde of yarn being id. per lb., and in others fully id. per lb. since Tuesday. The decline from the commence. merit of the present year is estimated to average id. per lb., some descriptions being as much as Id. per lb. cheaper. The decline affects more or less all counts of water twist and warps, and mule twist and weft up to Ws ; and in mule some rather higher counts are easier. Cloths bane also further declined during the week, and many of our manufacturers, now bolding large stocks, are anxious 'ellen. Low as prices are, however, they do not tempt buyers into the market, though an opinion prevails that they will not recede much further without inducing some speculation. WOOLLEN CLOTS.—Lagna, FEB. 9.—Notwithstand ing the very disagreeable weather this morning, the market was moderately attended, and a fair business was trans acted, chiefly in Nahum and spring goods. HARDWARE—MarIin%An, FEB. 9.—There is in creased animation in connexion with the trade of this town. In the course of the last week the home trade has revived, a good sprinkling of orders has come in, and in all the most important staple branches a reaction is visible, though at present it is on &moderate scale ; but the artisans generally have been working more time this week. The fancy trades are still for the most part slack. The orders in on account of the export trade are still comparatively small. In the Continental department of it there is more life ; and the South American merchants report a revival in that branch of the export trade. In the adjoining dis trict business is still dull. At a meeting of the coal. masters at Wolverhampton, a day or two ago, it was re solved to postpone any reduction of the miners' wages ; but to increase the " dents " (that is the amount of work done by the men) immediately. CORN.—CANDIUDOZ, Firm. 9.—Our market was firm for all corn, at last week's prices. Wheat, red, 36e. to 525. ; whit*, 56e. to 58a. Barley, 28s. to 445. Beans, 32e. to 40s.

GUILDPOILD, Frs. 9.—There was not so large • supply al wheat. It was again difficult to make much progress with the cold samples, values of which are irregular, but a trade was quite as good, and, in some instances, better for . s useful qualities. Beans and in great request, and rather higher. Wheat, o 60 to Ns.; new, 44a. to ; barley, 28e. to 45e.; oats, to 31a.; loans, 40s. to 50a; peas, 40a. to 48a. ilzatroan, FM 9.—We had a good supply of wheat today, the greatest quantity being very damp sod inferior ; the best samples only supported last week's prices ; damp samples almost unsaleable at less money. Barley in fair offer ; the best descriptions made last week's prices ; come parcels very dull, at barely last week's prices. Oats sold at former rates. Yeas and beans ruled dull, still not lower. Wheat, 25e. to 445. per load ; barley, 255. to 445. per qr. , • oats, 21s. to 30s. per qr. ; peas, Ms. to 30s. per load ; beam, 26e. to 325. per load. LIDCZAITZE, Fen. 9.—There was hardly an average quart. tity of wheat exhibited at our corn market to-day, the quality of which we. varied. The weather is now very damp, which has the effect of deteriorating the condition of wheat, many sample. of which were very poor. For these mete low pnces were taken ; superior sorts sold at ls. &d -unce, old white descriptions were disposed of at 70e. to NIA ; new 545. to 665. ; old red, 04s. to 68s. ; new, 58s. to 06s. per 3l stone. Of barley the supply was moderate, and malting samples met a study sale, holders fully maintain ing the currencies of the previous market day— 365. to 425. per quarter. Grinding moved off slowly, and late rates were not in all instances realised, maniples making 31s. to Me. per 30 stone. The supply of oats was by no means abundant, and, with a quiet tone in the trade, the rates of last week were for the most part supported—old, 325. to 365. ; new, 245. to 28e. per 24 stone. The demand for beans (the show of which was small) ruled tolerably healthy, and sales were effected at fully former quotations, old sorts making 56m. to 58s. ' • new, 345. to 38e. per 38 stone. Fine flour, 48s. ; seconds, 46e. ; thirds, 445. per 20 stone. NurcAnets-iron-Trnx, Fns. 9.—At our market this morning we had a moderate show of wheat from the growers, condition rather better than of late, and for such a fair sale was experienced, whilst ill-conditioned lots sold at low irregular rates. For extra new south country yellow 665. per 5041b5. was paid in retail. Foreign was held very firmly, Samar new red, with a slight chamber realising am. per qr. 5041ba. ; in other aorta few transac tions occurred. Flour was not largely dealt in, but is the business passing the full terms of this day atineight were acquired. Malting barley, unless very choice, most difficult of disposal ; grinding ler inquired for. Beans and peas stationary. New oats in good request ; sweet Scotch, of a good colour, being saleable at 285., weighing naturally about 40Ibs. per bushel. The arrivals this week are : Wheat, coastwise, 3,927 qrs. • foreign, 890; lerley, coast wise 78 ; foreign, 1,617 ; lilts, coastwise, 2,491 ; flour, 1,800 Backs. Noitancti, FEB. 9.—Wheat was in fair supply here to day ; the condition of some samples was moderate, aad these met a slow male but for dry parcels last week's retie were fully supported. Barley was in comparatively limited supply—although the deliveries of this grain here are larger than at any other exchange in the provinces, the last weekly official average extending to 5,667 qrs.—and in some instances Is. per qr. more money was given for the beet malting qualities. White wheat is quoted this evening, 565. to 60a ; red ditto, 545. to 58e. ; damp and inferior ditto, 50a. to 545. ; best chevalier malting barley, 435. to 45e. ; runs chevalier ditto, 41a. to 435. ; distilling ditto, 31s. to 31e. ; oats, 26r. to 30s. ; beans, 4` ' . to 48e. • peas (mapel), 42a to 46e. per qr. Fl o ur , 41s. to 42a per sack, from the Mine!. NOTETEGIEME, FEB. 9.-At our can market to-day there was a moderate attendance, and the show of wheat was tolerably good. The bulk of the supply was of the new crop, and samples were generally of indifferent quality. The demand was heavy, at the rates of the previous week. Old white sorts found purchasers at hfis. to 795. ; sew ditto, 52k to 6.4. ; old red, 64a. to 735, ; new, 475. to 635. per 36 stone. There was only • limited show of barley offered, the quality of which was for the most part secondary, and only suitable for grinding purposes. The tone of the trade ruled quiet, and prices for all fine samples were quite as high as on the week preceding, while inferior sold slowly-malt leg, 365. to 445. • foreign Seale, 445. to 475. per qr. ; old grinding, 335. to As. ; new, 30s. to 335. pet 30 stone. The supply of oats was tolerable, and the amount of business transacted was middling, at no material change in prices old, 325. to 395. ; new, 245. to :10s.; foreign, 28s. to 32e. per 24 stone. Beans came to hand sparingly, and met • steady sale at previous currencies--old, 56e. to 59e. ; new, :01. to 40s. per 38 stone. Superfine flour, 48e. to 525. ; fine, 43k to 46e. per sack. OXFORD, FEB. 9.- A large quantity of wheat offering at market to-day ; a good deal of which was in such bad con dition that dealers and millers would hardly con deMeed to look at it • but fur all dry samples there was an eagerness to purchase, and consequently • large bulk was disposed of at a small advance on last week's quota tions. The same remarks will apply to all other kinds of grain. With regard to beans, for which there was a great cell for planting purposes, they were much dearer. It is thought by many that there having been such a demand for good corn of all descriptions-rick after rick disappear ing- better prices for the farmer are looming in the dis tance. Flour was worth 46e. per reek. Perzasoftocce, Pas. 9. -At our market to-day we had a good supply of wheat, which met a fair sale at fully the prices of this day week. Barley again lower. Gate, sample fur seed Is. dearer. Beans unaltered. Best red wheat, 58e. per qr. of *Ube. • common ditto, 46e. to 48e. per qr. of 4801 be. ; oats, Is. ld. to is.

The supply of wheat still con tinua to come scantily to hand, and foe the most part in wretched condition. Business ruled heavy, and prices must be quoted same as last week. There was a demand for the finer sample., of malting barley. No alteration in other articles. ROCBEBttlt, Fee. 9.—At this corn exchange wheat, of both home and foreign kinds, came to hand in rather liberal quantities, but there was a great deal of inferior placed on the stands. On the whole the trade was in a sluggish con dition, cod although prices were rather lower millers re trained from operating to any considerable extent. For the old fine and dry samples the rates of last week were de manded sod given, but other kinds were difficult to dispose of, and although most of the secondary and inferior lots were offered at a decline of Is. to Its. per quarter, only a very limited amount of business was tramacted. Some beet eem plss of white were sold at Ms. to 705., sod red from 60s. to 6‘ Tbe prime qualities of foreign sold slowly', at fully fart week's rates, but little business was transacted in other lOads. Barley, both malting and grinding kinds, is dull of sale, end the Mrs cheaper. Some of the very best samples for malting purposes were, however. taiseu at former quota. Cons.

Our market has been very sparingly supplied with home-grown grain this week, but we have had considerable arrivals of wheat and Indian corn from the Black Sea. There has been a greater degree of firmness in the trade than for some weeks past, but there is still an absence of activity, as buyers confine their opera• tions to the supp ly of immediate wants. Irish wheat w e quote fully as dear as on this day se'unight, and for choice samples rather more money would be given. Foreign in re. tail demand at unaltered rates. Barley very strong, par.

YORK, FEB. P.—The attendance of farmers and factors at our corn market to•day was pretty fair, but there was o s tL . l r r o a somewhat limited supply of wheat, consisting of a sprinkling of old sorts and the remainder of the new crop, t letter being in wretched condition. The trade ruled slow ; inferior sorts were neglected ; good conditioned tam. *s made late prices ; for white qualities prices ranged from 58e. to 645. ; for red ditto, 45e. to 565. per quarter of 36 stone. The barley trade assumed a rather quiet wed, bat choke parcels were taken off at fully former terms, wimples realising 38e. to 425. per quarter; coarse qualities for feed purposes were in moderate supply and the demand was slow at picas in some cases the turn easier, 335. to 355. per 30 stone being the ruling terms. There was a limited show of oats, principally of the new crop, and with a quiet tone in the trade samples moved off at their former value; the best sorts made 28s. • ordinary, 245. per 24 stone. Beans tame to hand spariniy, and the demand was firm at the extreme prices of lent turday ; old, 48s. to 56a.; new 40s. to 425. per 38 stone. Ilalt, 70s. to 725. ; rye, Us. per quarter. Flour, 48s. to 50e. per 20 stone. HIDES.—The hide market has felt the influence of the high rates ruling for money, and the early promise of the year has been affected by it ; independently of this, there are the same causes existing for a steady and healthy trade, as noticed in our Price Current of the Bth ult. Salted Hides: The sales from the above came have been very limited, and with the following results, via.: South American. Notwith. standing the fair support given to these hides by the holders, the sales, although limit• are made at prices in favour of buyers, with the exception of a prime parcel of light ox bides, for which 61d. par lb. was paid, and showing an id. per lb. advance.
