THIS ETS'. LI lusinoss Done. CORN EXCHANGE. Only moderate supplies of wheat were on offer in most of the country markets held on Saturday. For most kinds there was a fair inquiry, at full prices. The barley trade was rather active, and late currencies were well supported. All other produce changed hands to a fair extent, but no quotable change took place in prices. The Continental markets have been without change for wheat, and the transactions for shipment have not increased. Spring corn has sold at full prices. In the United States produce, generally rules steady. Up to our market last week the arrivals of home-grown produce were only moderate. The imports from abroad were 5,440 quarters of wheat, 2,410 barley, 8,556 oats, 877 beans, 939 tares, 12,429 linseed, 7,215 rapeseed, 15 mustard seed, 166 sundry seeds, and 2,733 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day from Essex and Kent the arrivals of wheat were on a limited scale, and the receipts from all other quarters were small. For most kinds we had only a moderate demand ; nevertheless, the bulk of the supply was disposed of, at prices equal to Monday last. The general condition of the samples, arising from the long continuance of damp weather, was by no means fine. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on offer. Good and fine qualities were disposed of on former terms ; but low and damp parcels were very dull, and almost nominal in price. Floating cargoes of grain were at slow inquiry. Malting barley was in short supply and steady request, at full prices, but other qualities were less active, on former terms. There was very little inquiry for malt. In prices, how ever, no change took place. For oats the demand was rather flat, yet prices were well supported. Both beans and peas were in moderate supply and fair request, at full quotations.

From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were by no means extensive, and their general quality was only middling. The attendance of buyers was tolerably good, and all breeds of beasts moved off steadily, at full quotations. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised ss, but the general top figure was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,120 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses ; from othor parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 300 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 31 oxen. The show of sheep was again very moderate. Long woolled qualities were in active request, at an advance in the quotations of from 2d to 4d per 81bs, all other breeds were in steady request, and prices had an upward tendency, several pens of Downs having sold at 5s per 81bs. A few shorn sheep were disposed of at.Bd per 81bs beneath those in the wool. The few calves in the market were disposed of readily, a Full currencies. The top quotations was 5s 6d per 81bs.

It is well known for the correctness and copiousness of its information, and is likely to maintain its established reputation. The Church of England Monthly .Review. Bell and Daldy. This magazine fills a void in serial literature. It has commenced a new series under favourable auspices, and seems likely to supply a want which many Churchmen of liberal opinions must have often felt. It treats the great social questions of the day in a broad and comprehensive spirit, not often displayed in professedly religious periodicals. The first article in the present number displays this feeling especially, and in its ready sympathy for the trials of the working classes breathes the true spirit of Christian charity. Speaking of the careworn aspect of the toilworn throng s encoun tered in Whitechapel or Shoreditch, an d the dif ferent casts of countenance met with, the writer says :—" Deal gently with the former class, though not one in twenty is ever seen within church or chapel. Leave the sins of the working man to the unerring judgment of his Father and his God, and think of the life-long struggle he has to go through. Char tist, Socialist though he be, perchance he fights more bravely with temptation, and deals more liberally with his fellows than many a sound churchman clad in broadcloth and fine linen, and faring sumptuously every day. Look at his over wrought frame, his blanched hollow cheek, his anxious eye, and consider how fearful must be the temptation to such an one to bathe his feverish spirit in the Lethe of the gin-shop. Yet day after day he quietly passes its seductive door, for two virtues reign supreme within the fustian jackets of our self-supporting poor • the one is an indomitable love of independence, the other an attachment to their wives and children as true and deep as can be found in any class or clime the wide world over." There is truth as well as liberality in this teaching, and it will speak with a new voice to those who are accustomed to consider that only sectarian theology is contained in a Church review. Another instance of the altered tone of the serial may be found in a second review of Hugh Miller's Testi mony of the Rocks, the new proprietors being de sirous of rescinding the judgment passed on that remarkable work by the former critic. An article on o f of if " England," Sch Urgesand t gentlemen rongi y the in the s C h urch sit in creasing the incomes of curates, it is nece ex pected that ability and energy are to be dis played in the ministry. It is justly argued that it is impossible for a clergyman to devote his attention to his parish, and, by the aid of study and reflection, to preach an able and effective sermon, if he is harassed by constant pecuniary difficulties, and obliged to teach pupils, or write for the press, to support his family. This subject certainly requires attention, and it is surely possible to devise some means, whether by the re adjustment of the church revenues, or by the adoption of the voluntary system, to remedy so great an evil. W e wish the Reriew all success in its new career; and, without coinciding in all its opinions, sympathise with th e earnes t and in p io r n aC we ti cordial l y calspil'it which animates it. MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES. The Eclectic proceeds in its new series with interest and variety. A wider range of subjects is included, and km 0 the sectarian character is visible than in its old form. "'Town and Forest," the pleasing story by the able authoress of " Mary Powell," is continued, and shows us some glimpses of the scenes among which city missionaries live and labour. " Bad Weather on the Mountains "is the title of a paper showing us what hardships and sufferings men will undergo for the cause of scientific discovery. Articles on the Rev. Mr. Stanley's recent work on the Epistles to the Corinthians, and on the Queen's Government and the religions of India, are among the most prominent, though scarcely the most interesting in the num ber.—Tait's Edinburgh Magazi ne opens with three biographical papers on three very different subjects —Robert Burns, Wolfgang, Mozart, and William Beckford. They are the three most attractive articles in the number. The stories of " Marion" and " The Bird Catcher" are continued, and there are some Papers on political topics.—The Scottish Review upholds the views of the Scottish Temperance League. Without coinciding in the opinions of teetotalism, it is impossible to help respecting and sympathising with the earnest desire expressed for the elevation of the working classes, and for the practical philanthropy evidenced. An essay on " Substitutes for Paper Material" will interest the curious.—The Welcome Giuest is conducted with spirit and vivacity. Its tales and essays are above the average, and its selected poems and paragraphs are often of a high order.—Newton's London Journal has an opening paper " On Decennial International Exhibitions—are they required ?" and answers the question in the negative. Its list of recent patents and scientific notices are, as usual, copious. —Le Follet has its accustomed array of fair ladies and fine robes, and discusses the millinery prospects of the coming season with a solemnity befitting their importance.—Charles Knight's Popular History of England • has reached its 37th part, and brings us down to the Accession of Queen Anne. Its clear and impartial style, and its happy illustrations of the successive epochs, both literary and pictorial, combine to raise it to a high rank among modern popular histories. The present part is adorned with the portraits of Wal pole, Chatham, and Wolfe. —The Dictionary of Daily Wants, The Dictionary of Useful Knowledge, and That's It, are three admirable little serials, issued in monthly parts, conveying various kinds of information, practical, scientific, and general, in a clear and concise form, at a very low price. They are well calculated to assist the diffusion of general knowledge, and we trust w ill rece i ve f rom the pub lic that ready appreciation which their merits de serve. Oceola. By Captain Mayne Reid, Author of " The Rifle Rangers," " The Scalp Hunters," &c. Hurst and Blackett. This is a very entertaining work, which can hardly fail to win approbation. It chiefly relates to Indian life, and the various details and descrip tions are written with great ability. The hero is a spirited young chief, who endeavours to defend his people from the aggressions of their spoilers, and with considerable success for a time. There are other persons prominently brought forward on the scene; but the chief interest centres in the young hero of the forests, whose chivalric character might have been the boast of any civilised commu nity. It is impossible hot to appreciate true cou rage and heroic spirit, whether their possessors are the denizens of fenced cities or the untrammelled rangers of the vast prairie and the mighty forest. Although from the treachery of some of their own people as much as from the dexterity and power of their enemies, it was impossible for the independent chiefs of the Seminole nation to conquer at last, their struggles were not wholly fruitless. They dis played, in many a desperate contest, and in many a skilful skirmish, that force and fearlessness for which the warriors of the forest have been so sig nally renowned. It is very interesting to peruse the passages in this work which chronicle those feats of daring which were performed by the brave band who followed the heroic young chief in his brief but brilliant cal eel.. George Randolhh, who tells the story, was settled in the spot that after wards became the scene of many strifes, his home was on the banks of the beautiful Suwanee, in Florida. He relates many stirring scenes, and many pleasing passages of his early years, which were passed before the struggle began. In some of the events we meet with most vivid description and exciting adventure, particularly in the record of the dangerous episode, in which Virginia, the sis ter of Randolph, was nearly destroyed by an alliga tor. From this fearful fate she was rescued by the courage and skill of an Indian youth, who was no other than Occola. It was thus that Randolph made his acquaintance, and formed a friendship which was never relinquished till death. The friends could not often meet, and, indeed, fought on different sides, but the congeniality of tastes, the kindred independence of spirit which distin guished them, never suffered their regard to be diminished. For a brief period Randolph was de ceived, by treachery, into supposing that Oceola had proved unworthy of his high regard, but he soon became convinced of his mistake, and although this assurance reached him in the hour when he expected immediate torture and death, it gave him unqualified delight to find that his hero-ideal had not been found corrupt and counter feit. " Yellow Jake " is one of those fearful natures who semetimes appear as if to disgrace humanity by showing to what ends it can be per verted. What is told of him is well narrated, and the awful death he met seems only a just retribu tion of his crimes. The sorceress, " Haj-Ewa," is a striking sketch. She always appears on the scene in a critical juncture, and her adroitness and skill are of essential benefit. She never effected a more signal service than when she rushed on the wicked " Jake," armed with her deadly serpent. For depth of interest and vivid narration of drama tic events, this work is remarkable. There is variety in its stirring records, and vigour in its energetic relations. There seems ever something fresh and attractive in the " noble race and brave," whose memory must eternally haunt their usurped hunt ing grounds, and deserted streams, and those who are weary o f th e oft-recurring tales of home life will welcome this retrospect of the Indian struggle carried on in the far-off forests of the New World. THE EMPEROR NICHOLAS AND THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH, (From the Calcutta Xew Era and Press) When the first electric telegraphs were success fully established in England and America, no man perhaps then living took so intense an interest in everything appertaining to the subject as the late Czar of Russia. Nicholai Pavlovitch—a really great man spoilt ; spoilt by a fate entirely different from that which had nursed the youthful days of all his race before him ; we mean 20 years of a suc cess almost unqualified, and therefore of pride un chastened by anxiety. 'He had a quick eye for the advancement of Russia, almost to the last; and to the very last a ze a l and eagerness above suspicion for all that promised to aid in that advancement. With the new species of telegraph he was like an intelligent and impetuous child with a new toy. He never rested till he had his own private telegraph room in the Winter Palace ; and when his laborious day was over--and amost laborious day it was—that of Frederick 11. of Prussia was not more so—thither he returned for recreation. We say returned; because he paid many brief visits to that room of an official nature at all hours. But when the business day was fairly done, he was there again from taste and choice, and often for hours together, nobody daring to disturb him; sending and receiving in stantaneous messages to and from Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Moscow, and all the o th er i mpor t an t p l aces with which he had put that magical chamber into communication,—alone, if we may say so, with the ends of the earth. It was not merely while the newness and the gloss were on the invention that his interest en dured. Nothing could exceed the enthusiagm 4tf one whose wealth and power commanded its hardest and most wondrous achievements for his amuse ment ; and that amusement but grew by what it fed upon, and grew into a sort of intelligent mania. He, it was, we firmly believe, and not the present monarch, who prepared and even began the re placement along the wastes of Siberia of the old aerial telegraph with its towers and signals, by the docile and obedient electric flash. As in India, we had hundreds of miles of the more easily and rapidly-constructed kind of commu nication before we could get as many scores of miles in railway—so in Russia. It was only in the pre sent Emperor's time and about the date when Sebastopol fell at length in blood and fire beneath the united blows of France and England, like some giant demoniac whom the spirit that leaves him rends as it departs, that the railway from St. Petersburgh to Moscow was effectually completed : nor was it till some time later still that it was opened for the miscellaneous public and the uses of traffic. But Nicholas, nevertheless, was wont to send queries or messages to Nloseow, and to get his reply to them in a couple of minutes without stirring from St. Petersburgh, from ore palace, from one room, in it, or even from his &lair. The Russian paper cigarette, which they always call a papiroos, and of which the Russian ladies, like the Spanish, con sume great quantities, is soon smoked out • bui Nicholas could put a little catechism of acimin;. The Works of the Rev. Sydney Smith. People's edition. Parts 1., 11. Longman. The wit and wisdom of Sydney Smith are uni versally recognised. Even the prejudices of party, and the intolerance of narrow minds have been forced to acknowledge the kind heart, the genial sympathy, the shrewd knowledge of human nature, the keen insight into its weaknesses and foibles, and the ready perception of its trials and necessi ties. Much of this sound sense and true philan thropy has hitherto been reserved for a limited class of readers. His writings were widely scat tered, and in their collected form were almost inaccessible to those of narrow income. Messrs. Longman, who have recently started so many admirable editions of standard writers, have added another to the list of the obliga tions of the reading public by issuing the com plete works of Sydney Smith in a people's edition, to be completed in seven monthly parts, at one shilling. The first two are already issued, and have doubtless gratified many readers. The articles on female education, on Methodism, an d many ot h er social subje c t s , are full of truth and sense. The essay on Catholics refers to a code of laws now happily regarded with general indignation. The paper on Indian missions deserves the attention of the well-meaning but thoughtless persons who would rashly attempt the immediate conversion of an empire. We are glad to see these excellent essays issued in a form which will facilitate their ready circulation among a public who cannot fail to appreciate their sincere piety, straightforward sense, and thoroughly English style. strative queries - and cc - 1d a list of orders receiving answer, to the first, and a register of the second, between his two splendid capitals, before the most diligent smoker in the lower south gallery of the Winter Palace could consume one of these little papiroosses. When he had no business about which to telegraph, he would still amuse himself by the oddest conversations with his ambassadors, in cipher of course—for he was not a man to let the telegraph officials laugh at him —across many inde pendent kingdoms, many a river and mountain, and many a thousand miles of country. Sometimes the Russian ambassador at Paris, in the midst of some entertainment, would receive a sudden summons that his master was speaking to him from St. Petersburgh, and flirt, an immediate answer was required. After I c had notified his attention, mortal man could not divine the subject which might not be opened. It would sometimes, for in stance, happen that he was called upon to reply to such an interrogation as the following, to which the electric telegraph is much too busy to pay any attention did it not come from the absolut e monarc h of ninety millions of courageous and intelligent subjects : " Where were you just now ?" " At dinner, at Monsieur de M.'s." " Was the dinner good ?" " Yes." " Any fresh caviare ?" " Your Majesty knows that to be impossible." " What ladies were present P" " A. B. and the yo•ang C." " Is the young C. ugly or pretty ?" " Beautiful." " Where did she sit P" " Next Madame, and the servant upset a soup plate upon her dress which had cost hcr, I believe, nearly 2,000 francs." " How did she look, when this happened ?" " She looked charming." fQ Then the soup became her ?" " Very much. Much more than it became Ma dame de T. who had it in her mouth, not on her lap, and who pulled a face." " Why ?" " It was hot." "Which? the face or the soup P What kind cif weather have you in Paris this evening?" " Very warm and showery." "It freezes here. Good night —go back to your party. I am going to Berlin to talk to Kisseleff. By the bye, don t wear your St. Vladi mir at Monsieur de M's. He is a good fellow and must be treated with less ceremony and more cor diality." And then the Emperor would go to his wife's drawing-room, and tell her perhaps the gossip of three capitals for that v ery d ay and hour. - But to return. The possession by Russia of the electric telegraph through part of Siberia, and of well-organised telegraphic communication through the whole of it, renders the Russian relations with China only the more deserving of vigilance on the part of England. Nor is that telegraph, we suspect, the only advantage which Russia en joys in Siberia, of whose interior state we know in general as little as we knew of this one slight circumstance in a huge although comparatively recent system. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT A COLLIERY. —A girl, about 13 years of age, named Kavanah, residing at Upper Ballylehane, in this county, met with a most frightful at ei dent a few days ago, by accidentally falling into one of Mr. B. D. Edge's coal pits. It appears that her mother had that morning proceeded to Carlow for the purpose of transacting some business ; and, not returning home as early es was ex pected, the daughter left her dwelling about ten o'clock at night to meet her parent. Having walked along the road for some distance, she went down to what is called the " ladder pit colliery" to warm herself. When coming away from the fire, which is immediately at the edge of the pit, the poor creature stumbled, and fell headlong into the shaft, to a depth of 25 yards. On being taken up, it was found that she bad sustained a concussion of the brain, with frac ture of the skull. On the following morning she was at tended by a medical gentleman, who dressed her Wounds, and did everything in his power to alleviate her sufferint , s ; but she now lies in a state of insensibility, little hopes entertained oiler recovery,---kWun4ri ,11 7 w6 hctttr, bein g PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. MEETING IN THE CITY. [The following appeared in part of our impression of Saturday :]— A public meeting of the electors of the City of London was held on Saturday, in the Guildhall, to take into consideration the propriety of a reform in Parliament. At half-past one the majority of those present seemed to belong to the working classes ; and the assemblage altogether bore a very different appear ance to that which usually fills the Guildhall when subjects of importance are under the consideration of the citizens of London. The chair was taken at two o'clock by the Right Hon. D. 'W. Wire, Lord Mayor. His LORDSHIP, in opening the business of the meeting, said he had convened the present meeting in compliance with a requisition, numerously signed, in order that the electors of the City might express their opinions upon a subject which was creating immense interest in the country—he meant that of the reform of the representation of the people in Parliament. He trusted that the order of the meeting, as arranged by the requisitionists, would not be disturbed. They had arranged the speakers, and he trusted that their proceedings Would be con ducted with order and regularity. Mr. Ernest Jones would now submit the first resolution. Mr. ERNEST JONES said that although London had been late to move in the cause of parliamentary reform, he trusted that good would result from the great gathering which he then had the honour of addressing. He stood there not to advocate the opinions of any particular class, but to help on the great work of reform. (Cheers.) The resolution he had the honour of submitting to them was to to the effect that no measure of reform would be acceptable to all classes without it guaranteed to all equal justice. (Cheers.) Mr. Bright had submitted to them a reform bill, and he had said he was in favour of manhood suffrage, but notwithstanding that assertion, he thought the bill hardly went far enough, as according to its provi sions nearly four million men would be kept out of the pale of the constitution. Why was this ? Were not those four million men as good as any of these now before him. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He (Mr. Jones) did not believe that manhood suffrage could be fully carried out. There must be some restrictions necessarily, but he would not go so far as Mr. Bright, who declared that the working classes were indolent and de praved. (Cheers.) But while he (Mr. Jones) agreed that a line of demarcation must be drawn some where, he would not say that the 4,000,000 he pro posed to enfranchise were depraved and indolent. He was not for putting power into the hands of a mob which would go about from place to place and turn the elections—(hear, hear) —but he would give the honest, respectable work ing man his vote----a vote he was as much entitled to as the greatest nobleman in the land. (Cheers.) He again said the working classes were entitled to a vote, though the Reform Bill of 1832 excluded them from it. (Hisses.) But what he advocated was the enfranchisement of the 4,000,000 of the work ing classes. He thought they should be protected by the ballot. (Cheers.) Mr. Bright believed in the ballot. He (Mr. Jones) believed in the ballot ; and the working classes believed in the ballot. Why, then, should not the working man be pro tected by it ? Mr. Bright thought that no measure of reform would be complete without the ballot was conceded, and he felt that the meeting agreed with him that any of the many propositions which did not contain that protection to the honest voter ought to be rejected. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) In some of the manufacturing districts the cottages were built by the employers, and without the em ployed agreed to live in them their labour was re fused. Was that a state of things that ought to be endured? The effect of enfranchising the working man would be to ennoble his feelings and to make him feel he had a stake in the peace of the country. (Cheers.) What he (Mr. Jones) wanted, was to enfranchise the floating population. (Hear, hear.) He asked the meeting what opposition could stand against 4,000,000 enfranchised working men—(cheers)—and if Mr. Bright did not choose to endeavour to enfranchise these 4,000,000 he would. (Cheers.) In the event of the working man getting a vote, he hoped it would be a sub stantial thing, not an illusion. (Cheers.) The panacea for the present evil was manhood suffrage, but he would guard it with this safeguard, that the elector applying to be registered should have resided six or 12 months in one district. (Hear.) Then, with respect to property qualification, what could be a more noble qualification than man him self ? (Cheers.) No machinery, no ship, no palace, was a's beautiful as man. He wished particularly to guard them against accepting any instalments of reform. Instalments were shams, and if they were to be content with them he felt confident that would be the only thing they would ever get. (Cheers.) Therefore he wanted no instalments. The working classes were now, after some difficulty, on the first step of the political ladder; but if they were satisfied with Mr. Bright's bill, that would throw them off, and then all the work would have to be done over again. He for one would oppose such a sham and single handed he would take the field against it. (Cheers.) He felt sure he could not be accused of cowardice —(cheers)—and he knew full well the working classes were no cowards; and if the meeting ap proved, they would take the field together against Mr. his Mr. Bright, and bid him stopbill, as not go far enough, and at the same time tell him they meant to have reform in earnest. He would now take the opinion of the meeting with respect to his view of manhood suffrage, and lie called upon those in favour of his resolution to hold up their hands (The whole of those present did so amid loud cheers). He was sure he should receive such a response as that, and he felt great pleasure that his lordship perceived that the meeting was unanimously in favour of manhood suffrage. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the agitation about foreign inva sion, he looked upon it as pure delusion. He did not think for a moment that foreign potentates cared much about invasion. Their chief object ap peared to him to be to cut each others' throats. (Laughter and cheers.) After a few other obser vations, Mr. Jones concluded by formally moving this resolution :—"That no extension of the franchise can be considered satisfactory that does not secure a just share of political power to all classes of the community." (Loud cheers.) Mr. P. TAYLOR said he felt great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He was going in a short time to Newcastle, and it would afford him great satisfaction to tell the people there of the noble manner in which London had done its duty. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR th en p u t th e res olution to the meeting, and it was carried amidst loud cheers. Mr. WHITEHURST, of the Ballot Society, said he rule that had been laid down came forward at that moment f t e o r b t r h ek through n a guidaneeef a. should address the meeting, and the meeting, viz., that only a certain a certain set of speakers only set of resolutions be submitted. some might Sup pose, did not come forward , as . pose, to ask the meeting fora reso ie lu s t h io o n ul i dn be e v s o u u r r of the ballot, because he knew full well that in th e e Guildhall of the City of London l to address the meeting, pchpimr.ovaaslwoforitthyßonly of Ike came f o e f rw a r d receivingn assertan enthusiastichi rightsrule w h : and break through a n to the France and other despotic countries.

Lord Mr. E. JONES telt it an honour to second such a resolution, and he called up on the meeting to adopt it with three cheers. He then put the resolution to the meeting, and declared it carried, immediately after which three hearty cheers were given for his lord ship. Inc LORD MAYOR said he thanked them for the manner in which they had received the resolution. and having congratulated the meeting for the attentive and peaceable manner in which the proceedings had been conducted, concluded by saying that whenever a r e q u i s iti on was presen t e d to him for convening a meeting on any constitu tional question, he should always have great plea sure in complying with such a request.

Since our last report very large supplies of meat have reached us from Scotland and various parts of England. The supply on offer to-day, killed in the metropolis, is only moderato, and the demand may be considered steady, as follows : Per 81bs. by the Carcass. s. d. s. d. 1 Inferior BQef 3 oto 3 4 Mid. d 0..... 3 6to 3 8 Pm.largedo. 3 10 to 4 0 1 Do. small do. 4 2to 4 6 Large pork.. 3 oto 3 8 s. d. s. d.

Most kinds of new hops continue in fair but not to say active request, at full quotations; otherwise the trade is heavy, at barely late rates. Mid and East Kent pockets 7os to 120 s per cwt. Weald oZ Kent do s4s to 70s ,) Sussex do s4s to 66s BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. The arrivals of potatoes up to these markets, coastwise and by land carriage, since Monday last, have been only moderate. For most kinds the demand is steady, and prices generally are well supported. Last week's imports amounted to only 95 tons from Rouen, 100 from Dunkirk, and 10 bags from Hambro'. York Regents, 85s to 1058; Essex and Rent, 70s to 90s ; Scotch, 90s to 100 s; ditto cups, 70s to 908; foreign, 60s to 70s per ton. WOOL MARKET. Since Monday last the demand for all kinds of English wool has ruled heavy, and the late advance in prices has been with difficulty supported. In foreign an d co l on i al qualities very little has been passing, on former terms. Last week's imports amounted to 1,965 bales from Port Philip, 921 from Algoa Bay, 421 from Odessa, and 95 from Buenos Ayres. SEEDS. There has been a somewhat improved demand for linseed, and late rates have been fairly supported. Fine rapeseed maintains last week's quotations, but inf er i or sorts are rather lower. Cloverseed and trefoil are much th e same as last quoted. Cakes have been in improved request, at enhanced rates.
