CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY. There was a good demand for cotton to-day, with very full prices. The sales were 7,000 bales. The Committee of the Stock Exchange has granted the quotation in the official list of the shares and obligations of the Royal Portuguese Railway Company. The Directors of the Universal Marine Insurance Company have given notice that they are prepared to issue policies payable at the undermentioned Places, viz., Calcutta, Bombay, Madras, Kurrachee, Shanghae, Melbourne, and Cape of Good Hope. The numbers are published of Three per Cent. Bonds of the Antwerp and Rotterdam Railway Company, which have been drawn by lot, and are to be paid off on the Ist of November flex. The Copiapo Extension Railway shares have again fallen £1 per share, reducing the price of the £lO share to about £3 to £4. The shares of this line consequently now stand at the highest discount of any in the market. _ _ _ _ The amount of gold taken to the Bank to-day Was £17,000. On the other hand, 25,000 sovereigns Were withdrawn for exportation. An instalment of 20 per cent. fails due on the 14th inst. on the Peruvian Loan for £5,500,000 stock. The liabilities of Messrs. Todd Naylor and Co., of Liverpool, are roughly estimated at £250,000. Tenders will be received at Madrid on the 15th inst. for a portion, amounting to £30,000,000 of rials vellon, or £300,000 sterling, of the loan authorised to be raised by th e mun i c ip a lity of that city. The minimum tender must be at 88 per cent. for 100 nominal value, bearing 6 per cent. per annum interest, with 1 per cent. sinking fund. The latter will be increased should the financial position of the municipality allow it. Telegrams of the 6th from Vienna note an advance of a per cent. in the Metalliques and a decline of I.loe. in the exchange, the movement being in each ease favourable to Austria. The quotations are 72.40 for the Five per Cent. Metalliques and 123.40 for the exchange on London. CITY NEWS---THIS DAY. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a slight increase in the enquiries for dis count accommodation to• day, and 2 per cent. is the current rate in the general market as well as at the Bank of England. The settlement of the Con -601 account at the Stock Exchange is, no doubt, the cause of this temporary activity. A dividend of Bs. 6d. per share will be payable ou and after the 10th instant by the Alliance British and Foreign Life and Fire Assurance Com pany, Tenders are invited for a further issue of Natal 6 per Cent. Government Debentures to the extent of £50,000. The money is required for the con struction of works to improve the harbour of Natal.

The following certificate was h an ded to Mr. Tyrwhitt: — " Regimental Barracks, Vincent -square, Wes t m inster. " This is to certify th a t G eorge Glenny is unable to attend the court owing to a bad cut on the eye. "ROBERT FARQUHARSON, ASSist.-Surgeon , Coldstream Guards." Mr. Alfred Rutland, of Manor-house, Stockwell Green, proved that Valle passing a public-house in Green-street, Leicester-square, seeing the injured man knocked down by a soldier of the Coldstream Guards, and on getting up again the prisoner again knocked him down by a severe blow. Two or three other soldiers were also of the prisoner's party and attacking the injured man. On his (witness) interfering, the prisoner said he would smash his head, and he believed that the injured man would have been killed but for assistance arriving. The prisoner said it was an old grudge he owed the corporal. Richard Maxsin, drill sergeant of the 2d battalion of Coldstream Guards, said that, on the previous evening, hearing that a corporal was being ill-used, he went with eight men to Green-street and gave the prisoner in charge. The corporal had such a bad cut on his eye that he was compelled to be taken to the hospital in a cab. Mr. Tyrwhitt, seeing the prisoner although discharged from the army was wearing a uniform coat, asked the drill sergeant what the prisoner was discharged for, and why he was wearing the coat. _ _ SPORTING-THIS DAY. The sergeant said the prisoner was invalided and dis charged, because he had something the matter with his neck. The coat, by the military regulations, belonged to the prisoner. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner. THE WAY MAGISTRATES ARREST PEOPLE IN IRE LAND.—Mr. Thomas M• Sheen, gentleman, of Sam's Hotel, half-past ten last night I was Strand, was charged with assau l t i ng Willi a m Morris, 173 C. Morris, 173 C, said—About doing special duty a t th e L on d on Eld or ado Music-hall, Leicester-square, w h en I h ear d the d e f e ndant having a dispute with some one in th e h a ll a bout the payment of some brandy. The proprietor told the defendant he would make him a present of the brandy, and ordered him out of the place, not wishing to have any disturbance. The de fendant left, and when he got to the bottom of the steps he caused great disorder, said he was " the mayor of Lime rick and a magistrate," and s thrusting his fingers down my stock, called out "I'll arrest you." I requested the defen dant not to make any further disturbance, and to leave. He went a little way and came back and said, "I'll show you how the magistrates in Ireland arrest people," and again thrust his fingers down my stock, driving his knuckles into my throat, hurting me very much, and also hurt my arm. Defendant was drunk. Defendant--I am very sorry. Mr. Tyrwhitt—lt is impossible that I can pass over such conduct, and you must pay 40s. or 14 days. WESTMINSTER. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.—John Cochrane and John Ryan alias John Connor, two ruffianly-looking fellows and well known bad characters, were charged with the follow ing serious offences. _ Hannah Francis, whose face was much bruised, said she was a married woman, and lodged in Mermaid's-court, Chelsea, away from her husband. Last night she was re turning home at a quarter past 10, when the prisoners and several others seized her, and dragged her forcibly into an empty house in Mermaid's-court, and used her most bru tally. Mr. Paynter—What did they do ? Prosecutor—They beat me very much, and some of them held me down while the others endeavoured to commit a rape upon me. Mr. Paynter—Which of them attacked you first ? Prosecutrix—l really don't know ; they held me down and tried to do it, but 1 kicked so that they did not suc ceed. Well, then, I rushed out at 4in the morning. Mr. Paynter—W hat I Did you remain there six hours r Prosecutrix—Yes. They would not let me go. I was held down. They stripped me almost naked, and tore all my things to pieces. They stole my shawl and all the money I had on me. Mr. Paynter—Was this on the ground floor ? Prosecutrix—Yes, and up stairs too. They dragged me up and down stairs by legs and feet and the hair of the head. I was used most brutally. Police constable Alleley, 194 B, said—l met this woman at fottr this morning in Turk's-row. Her clothes were torn all to pieces, and she complained of having been as saulted and robbed. Mr. Paynter—Was she sober ? Constable—Yes, your worship. Mr. Paynter—What did she tell you? Constable—She told me that they had kept her all night, and all had connection with her. Sho pointed out the premises, and gave them into custody. Mr. Paynter—You are quite certain she told you what you have stated. Constable—Quite certain. Mr. Paynter—lt's a very extraordinary affair. Did you pass the place on your beat ? Constable—Several times. Prosecutrix told me that every time I passed she heard me, and tried to call out, but they covered her mouth over and threatened to murder her. Both prisoners denied the charge. Dr. Edward Lowe Webb, of St. George's-road, Pimlico, was then called, and in answer to Mr. Paynter's inquiries, said he saw the woman at half-past four. She complained of tenderness about the body. He examined her. There were no marks of violence upon her; but she was a mar ried woman and had had children. There was a little ten derness, perhaps, and a swelling, but nothing more. She had a bruise upon her arm, and several bruises upon the face. Mr. Paynter having repeated that this was 9 most extra ordinary caul, remanded the p r i soners till Tuesday next. SOUTHWARK. ATTEMPTING TO PICK A POCICET. Richard Johnson, 8 shabbily dressed young man, was charged with attempting to pick pockets in the Borough last n ight. Alfred Hitchcock said that about ten o'clock last night he was walking up Union-street, when he felt a hand in his coat pocket, and turning round saw the prisoner with his handkerchief in his hand, which he had partially drawn out of his pocket. On being discovered the prisoner ran away, but he immediately followed him, and two policemen com ing up at the time he gave him into charge. Another man appeared to be i n com p any w i t h the pr i sone r at the time he attempted to steal the handkerchief, but he was unable to identify him, so that the police had no means of apprehend ing him. Police -constable 503 A, said that about ten o'clock last night the complainant told him that a man had attempted to pick his pocket and pointed out the prisoner as the per son. He took him to the station, and on searching him he found three kid gloves. The prisoner, in reply to the magistrate, said that he was a brush maker employed in the New Cut, and that the gloves were his own property. He said the complainant was mistaken with regard to him, but he assigned no reason for running down the street when there was a cry of " stop thief." 503 A, said that ha knew him to be the associate of a gang of thieves who loiter about Gravel-lane and the neighbourhood. The Magistrate said as no previous conviction had been proved against the prisoner, notwithstanding his acquaint ance with thieves, he would only sentence him to two months hard labour. CITY SEWERS CO3I3IISSION.—At the weekly meet- ' ing of the Commissioners of Sewers held yesterday, at 1 Guildhall, Mr. De Jersey in the chair, Dr. Letheby, the medical officer, reported on the state of 178 houses that had been inspected during the week, and he submitted a list of 77 places for sanitary improvement.

Peneus 1 Olive Branch 2 Foretop SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BEDFORD MEETING-TUESDAY. An unpleasant change in the weather from the warm and genial temperature on Monday to a cold rainy morning caused the attendance at Bedford to be exceedingly limited. The programme comprised six events, which came off at in tervals of half an hour, and kept the company together from 130 p.m. to 4 o'clock. The opening event produced five starters, and the sudden bolting of Sir Williamson Booth's filly renewed the " sensation " scenes of the past week. Young Woodhouse sat the filly resolutely, and he ultimately stopped her in the midst of a large number of excited sheep amongst which the filly had bolted. The succeeding race caused further excitement. At first Gleam was weighed for, and the animal's number was hoisted upon the tele graph. When the horse had been at the post some time, and fully a quarter of an hour after the appointed time for the race to be run, Mr. Edwards again weighed, went to the post, and won. An objection was made against the winner, and the stewards refusing to decide, the matter has been referred to the Jockey Club at New market next week. The two-year-old event passed of without producing anything striking ; but preparatory to the start for the Town Stakes, Pinkepoe and The Perfect Cure bolted, and ran once round the course before they could be pulled up. Nine of the ten nominations ran for the Town Stakes, and after Smoke had displayed some steeplechasing form, he ran against a post and for a moment got rid of his jockey ; he, however, was remounted, and got off with the rest, '1 he Bedfordshire Stakes was only con tested by four of the seven animals left in out of the 30 ori ginal subscribers. Man-at-Arms, on whom odds were laid, failed to stay the course with his younger antagonist, Ross, who won a splendid race by a head. The Consolation Scramble was won by Capt. Christie's new purchase, Olive Branch, on whom odds were betted. There was but little Cesarewitch betting during the afternoon, although Silk stone and Umpire were firm at the quotations given below. The following are details of the day's running The Ladies' Plate of 20 sous, added to a sweepstakes of 6 sous each, for two and three-yr-olds. Five furlongs. 9 subs. Lord de Freyne's Ophelia, 3 yrs, Bst 61b.. (G. Pordham) 1 Lord Uxbridge's Erythia, 2 yrs, 7st (T. French) 2 Mr. Thomas's Sydney, 2 yrs, 7st .... (Jas. Nightingall) 3 Mr. G. Bryan's Yellow Jack c, 2 yrs, 7st (Morgan) 4 Languish filly also ran. _ Betting-3 to lon Ophelia, sto 1 agst Erythia, and 10 to 1 agst any other. They were started at the first attempt, the lot getting away on equal terms, but it was quickly perceptible that the pace was too severe for Sydney and the Yellow Jack colt. Erythia jumped away first, and was attended on the near side by the Languish filly, and upon the whip hand by Ophelia. Before they had proceeded a quarter of a mile the Languish filly, in rounding the turn, ran out of the course, and bolting over the adjoining hedge, astonished some sheep which were quietly grazing in the next field. Woodhouse admirably kept his seat when she bounded over the hedge, and for a short time was unable to stop the filly scampering amongst the sheep. Ophelia took the lead from Erythia, when they had ran about three hundred yards, and the pair went out in company several lengths in advance of Sydney and the Yellow Jack colt, who were close together. The race was never in doubt, and Fordham giving his mare her head, she quitted her young companion opposite the Stand, and won easily by two lengths ; Sydney, who beat the Yellow Jack filly by a couple of lengths, finished a bad third. The Preparation Stakes of 20 goys, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sous each, 3 ft, for horses of all denominations; 3. yr-olds and upwards. Once round and a distance. 4 subs. Mr. Thomas's Gleam, 4 yrs, list 71b.... (Mr. Edwards) 1 Mr. Beauclerc's Furious, 5 yrs, list 111b(Mr. Coventry) 2 Mr. Fuller's Baffler, 3 yrs, lOst 111 b .... (Mr. Mitchell) 3 Mr. H. W. Wilson's Cottage Girl, 4 yrs, list 41b (Mr. Wood) 4 The betting for this race underwent frequent changes. At first 6 to 4 was laid upon Furious, but at the close Gleam was backed at 5 to 4, whilst 6 to 4 was accepted about Furious, and 2 to 1 about Baffler. The running was made by Baffler, followed by Furious, the favourite, lying off, coming on last. Entering the straight for home Gleam drew to the front, took up the run ning before arriving at the distance, and cantered in first by a length ; Baffler a bad third. Mr. Wilson, the owner of Cottage Girl, lodged an objec tion against Gleam on the ground that Mr. Edwards did not weigh in time. The objection was subsequently re ferred to the Jockey Club, at the suggestion of the stewards. The Two-Year-Old Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 50 added; colts, Bst 71b ; fillies, Bst 41b ; winners extra, and maiden allowances. Half a mile. 11 subs. Mr. Bryan's Fantastic, 9st (including' 71b extra) (Lynch) 1 Mr.:Delme's Poland, Bst (G. Fordham) 2 Baron Niviere's Dirt Cheap, Bst 111 b (inclu. 71b extra) (H. Grimshaw) 3 Sir W. Booth's Beatrice filly, 7st Illb (Perry) 4 Betting-100 to 15 on Fantastic. Dirt Cheap cut out the work to the turn, where the favo rite, who had been waiting on the French mare, came out and won easily by half a length ; Poland, who passed Dirt Cheap at the distance, secured second honours by a neck; the Beatrice filly beaten off. The Town Stakes of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes cf 3 sous each, for all ages. Three-quarters of a mile. 10 subs. Lord Uxbridge's Peneus, 3 yrs (E 10), 7st 71b (T. French) 1 Captain Christie's Corydon, 2 yrs (E4O), 7st 71b (J. Grimshaw) 2 Mr. H. C. Naylor's Perfect Cure, 2 yrs (X4O), sst 71b (A. Woodhouse) 3 The following also ran :—Pinkepoe, Dunoon, Maybe, Harriet Watts, St. Rosalia colt, and Smoke. Betting--5 to 4 agst Corydon, sto 1 agst Smoke, 7to 1 agst Peneus, and 10 to 1 agst Maybe. Upwards of half an hour was cut to waste st the post, when a very straggling start was effected, Peneus, Du noon, Smoke, and Corydon getting away in front, whilst the remainder were running widely scattered a long way:in the rear. The favourite headed Peneus when they had gone a furlong, and the Perfect Cure at the same time ran amongst the front rank. Approaching the distance Smoke was beaten, and Peneus and Corydon quitted their com• panions, the former winning easily by two lengths ; a length separated the second and third, and Maybe was fourth. The winner was bought by Mr, Ashworth was 56 guineas. The Bedfordshire Stakes of 70 sovs, added to a Handicap of 20 sovs each, 10 ft. Winners extra. Two miles. 30 subs, 23 of whom pay forfeit. Mr. Lincoln's Ross, 3 yrs, 7st lib (11, Taylor) 1 Mr. R. Sutton's Man-at-Arms, 5 yrs, Bst 121 b (G. Fordham) 2 Mr. T. Stevens's Shepherdess, 4 yrs, Bst 21b (inc 31b ex) (Payne) 3 Mr. Hodgman's Boabdil, 4 yrs, Bst 41b (Reeves) 4 Betting-11 to 8 on Man-at-Arms, 100 to 30 agst Shep herdess, 4 to 1 agst Ross, 10 to 1 agst Boabdil. At the first attempt ihey were despatched, Shepherdess making the running at a rattling pace, closely pressed by Ross, Boabdil lying third, and Man-at-Arms last. At the Stand Shepherdess was passed by Ross, who took a com manding lead at the far side of the course, where Boabdil declined to the last situation. A quarter of a mile from home Man••at-Arms took second place, but failed, after a rigorous effort, to overhaul Ross, who won by a head ; Shepherdess a bad third. Boabdil, who walked in, broke down in the pastern joint of the off hind leg. The Consolation Stakes of 5 sous each, with 25 added, for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bet 71b; fillies, Bst 41b. One mile. 4 subs. Captain Christie's Olive Branch, Bst 41b . (€l. Fordham) 1 Mr. T.

The latter made running for a short distance, and on coming into the straight Olive Branch went forward and won by a length; a neck between second and third. The winner was claimed by Mr. T. Stevens.

CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. The proposed contest for the Championship between Robert Chambers and Green, the Australian, continues the chief topic of aquatic circles. Notwithstanding the ill judged remarks of some of the Newcastle papers, Green by no means wishes to recede altogether from a match, as alleged by our Northern contemporaries. Green, it appears, challenged Chambers, by private correspondence, some time since, and received no reply, until the arrival of a letter, dated October 1, in which Chambers, after apologising for the delay which was caused by the death of Mr. Blakey, one of his principal backers, offered to row in eight weeks. This would bring the match into the latter end of Novem ber, and Green informs us that the winter will not suit his constitution for training. As there is a prospect of a match between Chambers and Everson, Green is prepared to maks a match to row the winner next summer. His object his backers think will not be attained unless he rows the at tested best man in England. Chambers, it appears, wishes to row on the Tyne, and offers £2O to Everson to row there, or requires a bet of £2OO in addition, if he comes to London. Everson's challenge is simply calling upon. Chambers to defend his title to the Championship of the Thames, which he wrested from Kelly, and the idea of rowing for the recognised Championship on any other water is absurd. Chambers ought to know that it does not look well for one in his position to endeavour to dictate terms to his challengers, at least when the " empty title of Champion of the Thames" is at stake. Everson and South country watermen regard that title as anything but " empty," and it is one which Green has travelled 16,000 miles to win, if possible. In reference to the:subject of expenses, we have received the following letter from Chambers : Sir,—Allow me to state that I never asked expenses from Green, as appeared in your paper of Saturday last; but as I hold the empty title of Champion of the Thames, I think it is nothing but justice to claim expenses from Everson, or claim my own river to row on, as I have been debarred from rowing in any regatta for the last three years, and being now in business, I think it in every way most reasonable that I should have my expenses. I think, however, Bell's Life might have refrained from making their remark at the bottom of the letter sent by my backers, as they, as usual, only show their inveterate dislike for North-countrymen.—Yours respectfully, ROBT. CHAMBERS, Champion of England, St. Anthony's, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Oct. 6. TEE ACCIDENT TO THE GREAT EASTERN. The mammoth ship still lies in Flushing Bay, where the damage sustained by running on a rock off Montauk Point on her last trip to this port is being repaired. We learn that the reports of experienced divers show that the ship's bottom was opened by the rock along a single line of her outer plate for a distance of several feet. The inner " skin" or hull of the ship was not touched, and remains as dry as on the day of launching, and the vessel could proceed oa her voyage across the ocean to-day with more safety than can any vessel having but a single hull. Nevertheless, her officers and agents are pushing forward her repair by a very simple method, tried once before in Milford Haven with entire success, and which has the entire approbation of dis. tinguished American engineers. The mode is as:curious and interesting as ikis simple. A large scow, with sides of proper height, is preparing to be used as a coffer dam. It is made to fit the bottom of the vessel at the point of fracture, and its edges are padded so as to close perfectly over any inequalities that may be found upon the hull. At the side of the scow (or coffer-dam) are two shafts or man-holes, which will pass up the side of the ship, reaching the water's edge when it shall have been adjusted to its place. The screw when aufficientlg, sunk will be floated under the ship's hull, and fastened securely in position by chains hove taut. This done, pumps inserted in the man-holes will free the scow of water, and admit the men and materials to repair the dam age. It is believed there will be no difficulty in making the vessel just a s s perfect as before she touched the rock. A few days more will give the result of the experiment—if that can be called such which has already been once successfully accomplished. In the meantime advantage is being taken. of the opportunity to thoroughly overhaul, paint, and refur. nish the Great Eastern from stem to stern.—/Pear Yorf limes, Sept, 24.

Stephen Joseph Meaney, a person connected with the Irish and provincial press, was indicted for fraudulently obtaining by false pretences from John Martin, a book value 16s. 6d , the property of Mr. Wibley. From tho evidence it appeared that the prisoner procured the property by producing some letters which were to the effect that a large sum of money was in a short time coming to himovhich letters it was said were forgeries. The prisoner, in his defence, read a long written state ment, in which he indignantly denied the charge preferred against him. The learned Judge having summed up, _ _ The Jury said they were of opinion that the prisoner obtained the goods on the faith of the letters, but that they thought he eventually intended to pay for them. Mr. Ribton said that was in fact a verdict of not guilty. The Assistant Judge told Mr. Ribton that he did not wish to be directed by him. Mr. Ribton said the man was undefended, and therefore he interfered. He considered the verdict just delivered ought to be recorded. The learned Judge told the jury that he could not take the verdict they had just returned. If they belieyed the prisoner only used the forged letters with a vier eventually to pay for them that was not a verdict he could receive. The jury were of opinion that prisoner obtained the books upon the faith of the representations contained in the letters. The Judge—Then that is a verdict of guilty. Mr. Ribton observed that the jury had already said that the prisoner intended to pay for the books. That certainly does away with the unlawful detention. The Judge observed that the jury had returned a verdict which was in his opinion one of guilty, and he should give sentence. Dr. Bateman, one of the Middlesex magistrates, whohap pened to be sitting on the bench, said he thought it was a case in which no sentence ought to be given. He looked upon it as a verdict of not guilty. (Cheers.) The Judge—Such an exhibition of feeling in a court of justice is discreditable; and if the parties creating it con tinued in their course he would order some of them into custody. The prisoner—l demand to have the first verdict re• corded, I have been, I maintain, acquitted of an evil in tention. The Judge—l say the jury have found a verdict of guilty. Mr. Ribton—Will you reserve the case ? The Judge--Certainly not, it is too simple. Mr. Ribton—The prisoner has a right to have the first verdict recorded against him, and that, I contend, is on• of not guilty. The prisoner—Will your lordship hear what I've to say. The Judge—l refuse to do so ; but, before I pass sen tence, I will consult the learned Assistant• Judge. The Prisoner—l demand— The Judge, te the officer—Remove the prisoner. The officer in the dock obeyed the direction of the judge, and the prisoner was taken below. During the latter part of the case the greatest confusion prevailed in the court, all order seemed to be disregarded, The scene was teyontl description, nothing but a babel of tongues being heard amongst jury, counsel, policemen, ushers, and the number of persons who were present. Up to the rising of the court, no decision had been come to. AMERICA. NEW YORK, SEPT. 29 (Evening). (By Telegniph to Cape Race, and from London- derry.) The Confederates have made Winchester, Vir ginia, the basis of their operations, but keep a force on the bank of the Potomac to prevent the Federals from crossing. It is rumoured that the Federal army is going into winter quarters. The Northern press strongly condemns this policy. __ _ General Davis shot General Nelson, commanding at Louisville, this morning, killing him instantly. The affair occurred through a personal dispute at Galthouse. The City of Baltimore arrived yesterday. The Europa has passed Cape Race. VICTOR HUGO ON COMPULSORY BDITCATION. " It is what we might call the mother question, gratuitous and compulsory education. Such a subject is in itself a re commendation to the attention of the Congress, This question resolved, one good law made from your initiative, the example given to other nations, will indeed be an admi rable result. " There is nothing so pressingly urgent (for discussion) as gratuitous and compulsory education. 0 The present lies heavily, but passes away ; let us turn our eyes to the great morrow which awaits civilisation ; let us prepare it. The child here is the grand question. The child holds in his cradle the peace or the war of the future. It is from this very cradle that the clouds of darkness must be driven. Let us make light dawn upon the soul of in fancy. Twenty-five years of gratuitous and compulsory teaching will change the appearance of the world. " The child, I repeat it, is the future. This soil is pro ductive ; it yields more th a n the ear to the grain of wheat.o, Drop but a spark upon it, it will repay you with a sheaf knod ge.

MARK LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here to. day con sisted, in a great measure, of Monday's untouched samples. The show, however, was moderate, and the trade ruled heavy, at fully that day's decline in the quotations of 2s per quarter. The show of foreign wheat was large. The best descrip tions were in moderate request, at late rates; but inferior produce commanded very little attention. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, on former terms. Fine malting barley supported Monday's prices, but in ferior descriptions were very dull, at drooping currencies. Malt changed hands slowly, on former terms. The supply of oats was somewhat more extensive, and the trade ruled heavy, at barely late rates. Both beans and peas met a dull inquiry, and the quota tions were barely maintained. Good and fine flour, both English and foreign, was steady, but inferior qualities were very dull. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.
