TSB EXPRESS MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 9. 1860. SPORTING. THE NEVIMARKIT CRAVEN AND CAITERICK-BRIDOR TO TO 11D1TOR OP TIM IMPRESS. SIR, —A five Sys' meeting in April must needs • be supported with 'yenta of more than ordinary Want or act eves the bof et its taking place at the m the turf would prevent a downright failure ; and flea. consequently, nothing in the brilliant programme fog the Craven week to make a t boast of, although ft le the beet that was ever •ueued, u, however exciting some half doom of the thirty or fonyencounters promised may be, the fields after Monday surf Tuesday will be very poor, sicept for the minor plates. I cannot . help thinking that while the peat guns were improving the meet ing they made • mistake in throwing all the large prime into Tuesday's card, for which the Newmarket Han dicap is • feature quite strong enough, and they could spare at least one of the 'Biennials for Wednesday or Thmadsy, while, if titer gave up the two —say that for the (owe th was to divide e tetei.st wish the tjoiumn on ednesday, when the three•year-olds might take Thursday —it would he Ml the better, unless they intended to have but one good day out of the five. It mitten little, perhaps, this year, ea the threenar-old items with co lively mull !Markin are particularly funnaate as rapids the description of animals that will contend for them ; but it would be ridi culous to expect the aims good fortune every year, and only Ira year matches were the order of the day after Twee, for an grist+ worth winsieg. The Newmarket Hasamosp, about one mile and three Tauten, can take mak with any of its rivals and Tem day's bill of fare requires no better "feature, " the pros ect of • large ileld being_ very good, for Blue Jacket, Gamester, Newmatle, Clydesdale, Masziad, Leff, /Lapis Simee, Flash in the Pan, Remunerator, White Wave, Athos, Confectiouee, Narcissus, and Her Highness look verteia starters ; and Godding's stable will certainly start oar or two, there being too much mystery surrounding Wallace, Chore Amis. and Manat•Arnts, who have all been " put up "la the market, for me to make a pees at the Simon Pure. There are emend others, perhaps, that will put in an •ppearance, but they are not suppceted for the needful, and bey are no more certain than Be Quick and Chance Shot, aseemiag whom some very dangerous liberties ban bees taken, if they are to start. I should like to see Fright ram in his last yeses form, sa be would be worth standing to beat all the heavy weights ; but Masxini mutt now take that task upon. himself, and he has improved so much during the winter that, recollecting hie roams for twit lithe in bat year's Oesarewitelt„ he has a very fair chime el tg reecempsseksg his rtyeir ma Hasple Simon is ru pa nning for him with i a la s 4lll.l4L leee tke wont of racing weights , and I can hardly believe is Ida capability to concede so much, although his form jun new is en good that he must be " there or there abouts." Remunerator is turned lose, and ought to beat .early all the heavily-weighted three-year-ole„ if semen any pretensions to staying ; but if roma it in earned with the Man-at• Arms I El expect to see him tun • great horse, anal his winning imald not surprise me. Confectioner and Athos have many and yet it strikes me they are both over-rated, or to win here with nearly six stone requires • first-class animal, in which tegory it in difficult to place either. The Dimly weighted •Her • is quite the equal of them, as regards looks, and lam half inclined to take such a rank outrider in preference to anything, the two most dangerous opposesta she may dimeover being Marini and Remunera tor. The Sale Stake never bud a better array of names than Cavriana, Set 31b ; Egbett, fist 716 ; Merrimac, Bst 716; and Golden Dream, 7st b: not reckoning for Rattlebone, Net 11b, and there is no obstacle to either of the quartette named showing. I have beard good account of the lot, but can hardly expect any other than Egbert to give Golden Dream the weight The four-year olds Biennial, about two miles, has very few of the brilliant lot that contested it last year left on their lega, and out of the sixteen that started only Defender, sir Hercules, and Volatile, axe worth • thosight ; Orlanda, Scent, May Morning, Conjuror, and cynricus being the best al the remainder. Defender was in anything but good form bait Novernher, his case being so bad that they could not start him for the Liverpool Autumn Cup ; but be is said to be better than ever now, and there is uothing to interfere with his success , Vola tile being next to him in my estimation. The three-year-old Biennial, RH., did not last year dismay any of the Derby cracks ; but the case is very different now, and it may be deemed policy not to start either Buccaneer, Umpire, Lupellu.s, or Loiterer, de eidedly the most formidable lot in the race. Brother to Rainbow will then have • very fair prospect of winning, although I should prefer both St. James sod Van quisher to him, but fur the fear they might follow in the Notate+. of their more popular coutem 'es, and reserve themselves especially for the Two Thousand. It is doubtful whether Thortnanhy will go to Newmarket for the 50 110 T IL Sweepstakes, or he will certainly beat Rakes and Baron Munchausen on the D. M., and it looks an equal certainty that Philomela will beat Delusion at 221 b for three years Across the Flat, although she his 121 b the wont of racing weights, for the old horse is not at home beyond • T.Y.C., and the backers of Philomela have a good line of him through her defeat of Plumper with so much in hand at Nortluunpton, the tatter having beaten Delusion at racing weights last October. On Wednesday there is nothing besides the Column but a selling plate closed, and the whilom great event will be but a dull affair after all, &Otte being good enough to beat Leprechaun, Eda, and Rs d Dancer, in my opinion. The remaining two days will s o m uc h on previous run num, that they require y • passing notice, and I have only to declare in favour of Sampson fur the 101) son Sweepstakes ; Sabreur for the Asks Produce Stakes (or Sparrow Hawk in his absence) ; Itichniond for the Hunt bource Stakes ; Promised Lend for the Claret ; Little Lady for the xi sues Sweepstakes (all on Thursday) ; Sanip•on Ito• the 100.ovs IL M. Sweepstakes ; Brother to Rainbow (or Thor manby) for the 1). M. Sweepstakes ; Thunderbolt for the :10 son Sweepstakes ; Gamester fur the Port, and Feed*. rowna for the Free Handicap. At Catterick Bridge, Cramond must win the Eleventh 'ashy Triennial, or give up all hopes for the Derby, Lord &timid poneveing his meet dangerous opponent ; and Qui Viva can hardly lose the Tenth Triennial, the handicap being also spoiled by Spriegwears manias at N=kkes. rev, —I kc. The annual pumal meeting of the Jockey Club will take place nn W edneerlay, when. in addition to the trans action of the ordinary routine business, • probability exists that some attention will be bestowed no the dames con. tamed in Lord Beilesilade's Heavy Weight Bill, and that the club themselves will fix the scale of weights to be adopted by handimppeni. la order to arceirtain the remelts of the deliberations of the Jockey Club, Lord Redouble has deferred moving the second reading of his bill math after the first Newmarket meetinp, stating that be wishes every "PP , rteuilY may be afforded the club to discuss the subject, and express their opinion se to the proper limits. I acknowledge," writes hi. lordship, " the high autho rity they may justly claim in midi matters, and anxiously desire to secure their approval and co-operation." The heath and exercise grounds were never in letter condition. They have an excellent covering of herbage, and are quite elastic to the tread. The extension of the wires of the Electric Telegraph Company to the new steed the flat will afford • great aocoennindation to the visitors, who have long complained of the want of facili ties for the reception and transiniasion of menages from the heath, whilst at the same time it will stop that recklem riding into the town by messengers, who in their speed and their rivalry frequently placed in _jeopardy the lives ..nd limbs ..f women and children. Mae mistakes, too, which were made by the clumsy mode of signalling the ' , dopers' numbers will. thanks to the arrangement just made, be entirely obviated.

It will be geotembered by the public that at the October amicat of the Nara' Crisis! Court a seaman, maned Marks Anne* a native of Rio de Janeiro, was con victed of a murder of • very horrible elieracter on board an lethal ship, and was left for execetka. The murder was committed under ettraordinary circumstance*. The p'i some- shipped men* on board the mend in question at Liebe" sail kr emeral days he condineed himself very well ; indeed, be lad Made himself rather a favourite with the eaphite of the vessel, whom life he afterearda dee r bored. The murder was committed in the dead of the eight, when a parties of the crew had turned in and the reaniadse were awed in watching on deck. It ap peered that the primmer went into the captaii'm cabin and nearly severed his head from his body with a 'large class knife. After the oommimion of the act he seemed in a frantic state of excitement, end he. severely wounded one or two others of the crew before he could be finally se emed, when he wee placed in irons, and brought to Eng land to take his trial. The defence aid up for him by his counsel was, that at the time the act was committed, the prisoner was not in a state of mind to be responsible for his actions ; but it appeared by the evidence of the wit nesses for the prosecution that the prisoner had not, either before or after the transaction, exhibited the slightest symptom of inanity, and that he con versed in a perfectly sane meaner after the occurrence. The jury, up= these facts, after • geed deal of delibera tion, found the prisone r guilty of wilful murder, and the day was fixed for the execution. The Portuguese agent in this country very humanely took up the are of the prisoner, and upon the belief that the act was committed under a temporary attack of frenzy, stress representations were made to the Home Secretary to obtain a reprieve, and the result was, that on the Saturday afternoon previous to the Monday fixed for the execution, a respite for a fortnight was sent to Neonate. The ground for granting this delay was that an opportunity might be afforded for the production of evidence from Rio de Janeiro, of which place the prisoner is a native, to show that his ;Mid had bean previously affected. It mama that there was a good deal of delay in making the necessary inquiries, and the result was that two other respites were sent for the prisoner, but each time with an intimation, which was care fully explained to him in his own language, in order Una be li i iiilg y Nt is t t r e der miasigzt l a y i;;; ii ir a i ro vo rd reMa time for inquiry, and that he must not consider that it in dicated an intention on the part of the authorities that the capital sentence would not be carried out, but that, on the coatrary, if the result of the inquiries that were being made did net clearly establish the Rugg made with regard to the Mate of his mind, the tal seatence would dill be carried out. The prisoner has behaved remarkably well dace he has been in Nompte, and he is comnintly visited by a Raman catholic priest who ia allowed to have free access to him. He has repeatedly declared that he sever asterteined the slightest ill will to the unfortunate deceased, and he has also stated on several occasions that be has no recollection of any of the damn dames commuted with the fatal deed, but at the same time mar that he is quite prepared to die. The last reprieve that was sent for the primmer re the day of execution to the 26th of sad it appears from inquiries made of the See:Mary of Blab by the prison authorities, that no information has yet been received from abroad respecting the primmer, and if it should not arrive before the day fixed, there will, no doubt, be a further reprieve. If, on the other hand, the evidence should arrive, and it doe' not clearly establish the suttee tion as to the state of the priaoner's mind, the law will, in all probability, take its course on the day mentioned. THE CONDEMNED SPANIARD AT DEVIZES. The execution of the Spaniard, Ssrahn Mantra°, who was condemned to death at Devises Amine last week, for the herbs one murder of a poor warms named Ansetatia Trowbridge, at Ashcombe, has been definitively fixed to take place in front of the New Prison, Devises, on Wednes day next, at 12 o'clock at noon. The seritenoe—although no doubt well understood by the unhappy man—was not communicated to him in his own language until after he had left the dock, when the in ter wont into his mill and informed him of the fate which awaited him. At first he seemed somewhat excited ,• but his demeanour hie since been quiet and gentle, sad he appears to entertain no hope whatever that his life will be spared. Every facility Laa of course been given by the authorities of the prison to supply him with the means of religious consolation, and to induce him to make his peace with God ; and volunteers for the performance of the solemn and responsible office of preparing the culprit for the awful change which awaits him have not been want ing. An Italian convert from Romaniam named Ferraro, who is staying in Devizes, and who had been admitted to Manzano's cell in consequence of being able to speak the Spanish language, has been most earnest in his visite ; and it was at first stated that Manua° would prefer Signer Fer raro as his spiritual Weiser to any other person. That there might be no mistake, however, upon the point, the Mayor of Devises (Mr. Burt), who is pretty well so; quainted with the Spanish language, paid him a visit oa Sew* last, at the request of some of the Tilting justices of the gaol ; and the reply which he made to the question which was put to him as to whom be would prefer, was at once—the Roman catholic priest. Catholicism was, be maid, the religion in which he had been brought up ; and immediately the question was put to him by the Mayor, he drew • crucifix from his breast and kissed it devotedly. Mr. Burt had previously lent him a Spanish Bible (for which he seemed extremely grateful), ..and expressed his thanks main and again t t clasping Mr. mut warmly by the hand. Hav ing heard he had served in the Spanish army (in which Mr. Burt in early life signally distinguished himself) he convened with him for • short time about his past life, and learnt that although now only 29 years old, he had served under Don Carlos during the Spanish rebellion in 1846 and 1847. He appeared by no means an ignorant man, and his conversation was cheerful, until Mr. Burt asked him whe ther his parents were still living. This question seemed to affect him deeply, and the reply which he gave showed that • chord bad been touched which had unused the best and most affectionate feelings of his heart. He informed Mr. Burt that he had been in this country about two years, and that he bad no rearm to suppose but that both his parents were still living. The place of his nativity was, he said, • village near Badajoz, where his father carried on the buil. nem of • shoemaker, and where he himself passed his early years previous to entering the Spanish army. Upon his ex • • desire to see a Roman catholic priest, the Reverend Mr. Clark (of Swindon) who had previously visited him, was requested by the visit ing justices to attend the unhappy EMI to the time of his execution, and he bas since - fin amidnous in his ministrations. An image of the Virgin and Child has been placed in his cell, and on Thursday, whilst the priest was with him, candles were kept burning. A turnkey is, of course, present at the interviews ; but as all that names between the culprit and his confessor is in Spanish nothing is known ; and it is not probable that any confession the murderer may make previous to his execution will trans pire, ruder the culprit should himself express a wish that it should be made public. An endeavour has been made by several persons in De vizes to get the execution carried out privately, and the fol lowing memorial, signed by the Mayor, and about 80 inha bitant', has been forwarded to Mr. W. Ewart, M.P., for pre sentation to the Home Secretary : "To the Right Hon. Sir George Cornewall Lewis, Bart., onset Her Majesty's Secretaries of State for the Home De t. ' We, the undersigned inhabitants of Devises and its neighbourhood, beg to represent that • man named Sersfin Mannino has been convicted of murder on e v mecca produced at the trial, and is condemned to be publicly executed by Imaging, on the 11th of April next. Your memorialists believe that public executions are attended with the most fiegraoing and demoralising results as witnessed by them ea two former occasions ; that instead of pre. amain crime and acting as • warning to others often harden and degrade spectators the spectato ; that crimes have frequently been committed at the very foot of the gallows. Your memorialista therefore pray that you will direct that the execution in the present case shall take place (if at all) within the wail. of the prison at Devises, in view only of such persons as you shall see fit to appoint to witness the same, and thereby prevent the erviating spectacle of a public execution." The result of the above application has not tree:mitred ; but from the fact that no order has been received altering the original mandate of the sheriff, we apprehend that the Home Secretary (If he has seen the memorial) has not , thought it necessary to send • reply. SMOCKING AND FATAL 00CITRILIENCE NEAR LIVER POOL—A sad occurrence took place on Friday night at the Eurthani Ferry, on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, which has already resulted in the death of two persons, and which, it is feared, will also prove fatal to several others. As is usual on Good Friday, the ferry-boats plying between Liver pool and the various ferries were much crowded throughout the day. One of the most attractive ferries is Eastham, on the Cheshire shore, six miles from Liverpool t. and it is popu larly called "the Richmond of the Mersey. Friday being exceedingly fine, the &Ahem boats conveyed pleasure-seek ers from Liverpool in large numbers, and in the evening there was a vest accumulation of return passengers for the last boat to Liverpool. About a quarter of en hour before the steamer came up there were nearly four hundred per sons waiting on the slip. This large number caused great pressure against the rope running along the sideof the slip, sod at length the rope gave way, when upwards of 100 persons were precipitated into the water, or rather into the mud, for the tide was very low at the time. It was dark, and the screams and cries of the unfortunate people were heartrending. Lights were brought, and they were extri cated with all possible speed. Two young women died. almost immediately. They were dreadfully mutilated, and it was quite apparent that they had literally been trampled to death. Upwards of 30 others have received various wounds and bruises, and several were found with their limbs broken. Some were taken to the Fastharn Ferry Hotel, close by, where they at present remain, unable to be moved ; others have been conveyed to Liverpool, and many are pronounced in a dangerous state. It is rumoured that the accident was caused by some one cutting the rope, but we hope this supposition is erroneous. xsw STAMP DUTY OS BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, AND LIZAIII4-10 tLs new Stamp Act, now in operation, there ia • duty of one penny on a isertirled copy, or extract, of or from any register of births, baptisms, marriages deaths, or burials.

IKARYLEBONE Hairy Warwick, a ss peo young man, de scribed as living at 14, St. erge's-gardens, Lambeth, was charged before Mr. Hammill with attempting to pick pockets in Portman-chapel, Baker-street, in company with another young man, who had escaped. It speared that about ten minutes past one o'clock on Friday, pelke-constable White, 310 D, was stationed in one of the lobbies of the above chapel, and as the con gregation were leaving the building, be observed the pri soner, in company with another man, trying the pockets of the ladies as they were passing out. He distinctly saw the prisoner go to the side of a lady arid toads her drew, and use other manipulations practised by the pickpocket gentry. He followed one lady eat, upon whom prisoner had been practising, and asked her if she had lost anything but on receiving a reply that she had nothing to lose, he followed the prisoners, in company with Sergeant Bode; 13 D, until they arrived at Oxfordetreet, when pri soner's companion, apparently suspicious, ran away and mounted an Atlas omnibus and rode off. Prisoner was then apprehended on the above charge, when he said he was innocent, that he was a respe ctab le young man, in the ser vice of a Dr. Broom, and offered to produce his card. He however did not do so. The *Aires.] given by prisoner was a false one, and no Dr. Broom's name appeared in the medical register. Prisoner, attempting a cry, said he was a respectable young man, and the charge against him was a mistake. The address given by him was correct. Mr. Hammill believed the officers, and as a false address had been given he should remand him for a week. Prisoner wiehed it to he then settled. He acknowledged he had given • wrong address, and would plead guilty to the charge. Mr. Hammill, under all circumstances, said he should, notwithstanding, remand him, for the purpose of learning something about him. The prisoner was then removed. Henry Mason, alias Bowen, aged 27, described as a milkman, well known to the police, and Margaret Sawyer, 27, residing at 2, Pembroke street, Caledonian-raid, were brought before Mr. Comte, charged with having in their possession two plaster moulds for making florins, a quantity of counterfeit florins and shillings, and also other counterfeit coin, and all the necessary implement& for adorning and coating the same, in the parish of St. Mary, Islington. Mr. James Brennan said that ho was formerly an inspec tor of pollee of the O division, but was now employed by the authorities at the Mint. On Friday night, from information and instruction from the Mint authori ties, he went to the Penton Arnie beer-shop, and there saw the male prisoner in company with two or three of his companions. He said to the prisoner, " Harry, I MU instructed by the Mint authorities to take you into custody. You are suspected of dealing largely in counterfeit coin." He then put his hand into the pocket of the prisoner, and took from it a black bag containing several little packets of coin. The bag contained 31 florins and 215 shilling pieces, all of them counterfeit. In a tobacco-box be also found • good florin, from which the impression for the moulds wal taken. They then came out of the house, and the prisoner was naked where he resided. The prisoner said, " I have no fixed residence ;" upon which Mr. Brennan said, " I will find you one. We have had you ander observation for some time, both at Tnrnrnill.street and here." The pri soner then said, " I have not been selling at the beer-shop in Turnmill-street." A mob had by this time collected, and violence being *tared, the prisoner ; was put into a cab and driven to No. 2, Pembroke-street, and I in the second-floor back the female prisoner was found. The room was searched, and on a shelf over the cupboard • mould for making counterfeit florins was discovered. There Iwere also two galvanic batteries fully chase d, another mould, two or tMee cylinders, a number of bottles con and mi and all the masonry Implements for making • colearMg counterfeit cum, Tbe male p ri soner had for ' years been engaged in making counterfeit coin, and bad twice been convicted of felony. The female said the other priaoner had oaly brought the moulds there • few days before, and the man said that lee hoped the female would be discharged as she was not conoerned with him. The male prisoner said that the florin found in his tobacco-box was not the pattern piece, but was a counterfeit like the rest. Mr. Currie remanded the prisoners until Wednesday.nest, for the attendance of the Mint solicitor, and hail,. which was applied for by Mr. Wakeliag, solicitor, was refired. SOUTHWARK. Edward Wares, a journeyman harneas•maker, was brought up in custody of two detective officers, charged with being concerned in - stealing a large quantity of leather strap • in the course of manufacture for the Royal Home AxtMary, the property of Mews. Oastler and Palmer, government coetractocs and leather manufacturers, Orsnmemod, Bermondsey. It appeared, from the evidence of the officers, that Hears. Nailer had for some time pest been executing large orders for the Royal Artillery, about to proceed to Chins., and the leather has been actually mandectured on their premises, cut up into the regimental lengths, and, ter being branded, given out to be finished by such m i en IS the prisoner. Recently large qinuititicei have beep missed, which induced the proorcutors to communicate with the police. In consequence of that, Scannell and Strickland received such information as induced them to go to the shop of Mr. Crowther, saddler, of Wasou-street, Finsbury, where they found a large quantity of strapping. with the broods cut off. They were, however , identified by Mr. Tomlin, the manager of Misers. bustler and Palmer. Crowther was taken into custody, and brought to this court, when he) endeavoured to account for pcssessioa by saying that he purchased the strappings of a man named Adkins for 12a, but he did not know where to find him. He was remanded until Tuesday. Since then the officers have Eoined that on the day that they woe* purchased the or carried a bundle of leather strapping' into in Bermondsey, and cut off the brands on the ends and burnt them in the tap-room fire. He took them away, and the bundle of strapping* found in Crowther's possession were identified as the same. The constables then went in search of the prisoner, and took him into custody on Thurs day last. In answerto the charge the prisoner said he knew nothing about the leather ; but The magistrate remanded him until Tuesday (to-morrow), when Crowther will be re-examined. THAMES. Captain JoAn Robert Bisalair .the master of the ship reiale Richard Thornton, a peered bapre Mr. Belie to roamer • charge of marching Brown Monde, steward of the Name vessel, It a from the evidence of the coin plainant, • looking man, that on the 280. of March last, w en the ship was in the chops of the Chan nel, on her return voyage from Batavia, he was dishing up some soup in the galley, and the ship was rolling very much at the time and gave a lurch, which caused the thin part of the soup to go over, leeving the thick at the bottom. A. seaman, named Holmes, went with the remainder of the soup to the captain, who wee displeased with the appear ance of the soup, and sent for the steward. The complainant said an accident had occurred, on which the defendant filled • metal ladle with • pint of the hot soap and threw it into the steward's face. It blinded him fur the time. The de fendant followed this up by striking the complainant a blow on the head with the ladle. The blow was repre sented to have been given with all the captain's might, and the complainant bent under the blow. The defendant also struck the complainant on the side, kicked him, and sent him on deck. A witness, who saw the assault committed, con Armed the statement of Menet. There was second summons against the defendant for wages. 141. 21. was claimed by complainant, and only 101. lls. 2d. had been tendered by the defendant. Yr. Gomm said he would accept the sum tendered by the captain, and would candidly admit that the complainant bad been more than once the worse for liquor and turned out of the cabin, and reduced from the situation of steward to that of (look. In the defence it was stated that the complainant was often drunk, and that he bad attempted suicide by cutting the arteries of his hand, and bled profuse lT ; and the cap tain bound up his wounds, and was very kind to him. It was also stated that on the day the alleged assault was com mitted the steward spoiled the soup. It was black and dirty, and the captain and officers could not eat it. The defendant took some of the soup out of the tureen and " ladled" it over the complainant s head, to colour his hair and grease it, because he was so food of taking the oil out of the chest in the cabin, four or five times a day, and • geeaung his hair with it. The soup was, in fact, used as a • d o hair-dye. The complainant had • profusion of black hair, a large moustache, whiskers, and beard. Mr. Selfe thought there was no occasion to dye the steward's hair in the soup. The assault was made out, but as it appeared that the captain's conduct to the complainant was kind and considerate generally, he should order the de fendant to pay a fine of 50s. only, and without costa. The penalty was paid. MARKEIS. WOOLLEN.—Lune, Arum 7.—There has been about an averse attendance of buyers in the eloth-halls this morn ing. The tone of the market was better than on Tuesday, and a steady business was transacted in seasonable goods. HARDWARE.—Bnumnittsn, Aleut 7. —There has been little change in the state of trade in this town for the last fortnight. With very few exceptions buhineas is quiet, and orders come in rather tardily. The foreign orders are rather small, and there is a partial suspension of the home trade as usual about Easter. At present, however, there is no de pression, and not much cause for complaint, seeing that everybody has been fully engaged ever since the commence ment of the year, and that up to this moment very few of the workpeople have been upon short time. The bulk of the manufacturers have not, however, many orders on hand unexecuted, but s speedy renewal of animation in the home trade is tolerably certain. The iron trade of South Stafford shire is quiet ; but the manufacturing trades are for the most part in a healthy condition. CORN.—Csitsamor., APRIL 7.—We had a dull market, without any alteration in pries. Wheat, 445. to 50s. Barley, 32a. to 400. Beans, 40a. Oats, 22t.t0 28a.

LEFCESTIM, AtalL 7.—There was about an average show of wheat, and samples were in fair condition, but purchases could not be effected except at an advance of ls. per qr. White qualities were disposed of at 50s. to 564. ; red, 475. to 51a. per 36 stone. Of barley the show was by no means plentiful, there being scarcely sufficient to meet the de mand ; consequently farmers obtained the extreme knos of the week previous, namely 365. to 455. per qr. for malting, and 30s. to 345. per 30 stone for grinding aorta. There was no material alteration in the value of oats, samples making 28s. to 365. per 24 stone. Beans realised full rates, prices ranging from 425. to 525. per 38 stone. Fine flour, 38s. ; seconds, 36a.; thirds, 345. per sack. NEWCASTLE, Aram 7.—Farnien' wheat fair supply, which has all been cleared off at full mina of last week. South country and foreign very little business pa.aing, but holders very firm at full rates of last week. Flour quiet, but steady. Malting barley fully as dear, with good demand for home grown. Grinding qualities in steady request. Oats tending still dearer. Beans and peas dull sale. NORWICH, Arum 7.—The supply of wheat was mode rate and trade slow, a reduction of ls. per qr., being in some instances sub mitted to by the growers. Little don in barley at former *totalities.

OXFORD, Aram 7.—A dull market for wheat to-day, and had farmers pressed ales, they would have been effected at a diminution in price as compared with last week's rates. Good malting barley was in great request, and commanded almost what farmers chose to ask, and from ss. to 3s. more per quartet/ may fairly be quoted. Oats and bums were much inquired for. and a nae of lx. 6d. to 2.. on good aan , plea of each was the consequence. Flour a steady sale at per sack. PRIIMBOROCGH, APIUL 7.—At our market to.4ay w.. had a good supply d wheat, which met a elow sale at barely the prime et this day week. Barley, oats, and beam in small supply, and each rather dearer.

Some of the finest sorts of white wheat were done at 52m., but inferior and secondary lots scarcely found a single purchaser. Red was in slow demand at Vs. to Ms. per quarter. Foreign held firmly at previous quotations. There was • diminution in the quantaty of barley brought forward ; good maniples for malting p , however, maintain their value, bast kinds being quoted at In. higher. There was a moderate demand for oats, but no alteration took place in the price of that description of grain. Beans and peas were without any material change, and both these articles were in moderate request at former quotations. There has been a slight advance in the price of flour. WISDIDCB, Ainit 7.-We had a small attendance at our market to-day, and farmers were not willing sellers at any decline upon t ire prices of last week, and consequently little business resulted. Spring corn fully maintains late rates. Priem to the grower :-Wheat, white, new, 49a. to 51s. ; extra, 53s , 5311i5. per bushel ; ditto red, new, 475. to 48s. ; extra, 495. • ditto white, old, 50s. to 52a; extra, 54c. ; ditto red, old, 48ii. to 49a. ; extra, 50a. ; oats, Is. to Is.

For the few samples of farmer? find parcel wheat on offer, buyers have readily paid extreme • prices, and holders of foreign have shown very little distention to sell at former mtgs. Barley we note 3d. to 611, per barrel dearer, and cats have been taken to a fair extent at a further advance of 3d. per barrel. A considerable business has been done in Indian corn, at very full prices, and stocks being greatly reduced, holders are now asking higher rates. Flour very firm, but not dearer.
