CORN EXCHANGE. The country markets held on Saturday were rather scantily supplied with wheat. For most kinds the demand ruled steady, and previous rates were well supported. There was a good consumptive inquiry for barley at extreme quotations ; and the value of all other produce was well maintained. Throughout the continent wheat has continued in re quest on English account. Spring corn has commanded extreme rates, with a steady demand. In the United States no change of importance has taken place in value of either wheat or flour. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week wore limited. The imports from abroad amounted to 1,274 qrs. of wheat, 3,197 barley, 19,107 oats, 4,680 rye, 1,0:30 beans, 28 peas, 725 tares, 9,075 linseed, 7,480 rape seed, 50 maize, 51 sundry seeds, 400 sacks and 686 barrels of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to-day from Essex was very limited, from Kent only moderate ; hence the show of samples was small. The attendance of both town and country buyers was far from numerous, neverthe less on the whole there was a fair demand for home-grown wheat, but compared with Monday last no quotable change took place in prices. The quality of the samples was by no means first rate. We were tolerably well, but by no means heavily, sup plied with foreign wheat. Owing chiefly to the high prices demanded by the factors very little business was passing in any A L td, nevertheless late rates were firmly supported. Floating (;:rgoes of grain supported previous quotations, and the demand t - 1;?" them ruled steady. The show of barley was again limited, and all kinds moved off steadily, at very full prices. We have again to report A slow sale for all kinds of malt, at late quotations. The show of oats was on the increase ; nevertheless, the demand ruled steady, at full prices. Beans changed hands slowly, on former terms. In peas only a limited business was passing, at late rates. The transactions in flour were somewhat restricted; prices, however, wet® well supported.

Sales progressed steadily, at full quotations. From our own gratin; districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, the fresh arrivals of beasts were very mode rate, and their quality was by no means first-rate. The best Scots and crosses were in steady request, and in some instances prices were a shade higher than on Monday last. Most other kinds moved off slowly, at late sates. The top quotation for beef was 4s 10d per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,000 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; and from other parts of England, 209 various breeds ; from Scotland, 130 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 12 oxen and heifers. Wich all breeds of sheep the market was but moderately supplied. The mutton trade generally was firm, at very full prices. The best old Downs in the wool realised 6s 10d ; out of the wool, 58 per 81b. Lambs were in short supply, and steady request, at from 6s to 7s 8d per 81b. _ We have to report a steady demand for calves—the sup ply of which was moderate, at very full prices.

DERBY, Saturday Night.—This morning a large crowd of people, who sympathised with Heenan's captivity, assembled in front of the Police-office, in the hope of obtaining a view of " the American." Dr. Heygate, who had been called upon to counter sign the warrant, was the presiding magistrate. The greatest excitement prevailed, and magistrates, professional men, and others took occasion to visit Heenan at Mr. Hilton's house. Every comfort that Mr. Hilton and sympathising friends could provide were provided, and Heenan left Derby with a strong feeling of gratitude for the honest expression of kindly feeling, not only from men who hate prize fighting per se, bdt, nevertheless, who like to dis play the impulse of true English feeling. The following is an account of what passed in the private room of Mr. Hilton (who deserves every praise for his treatment of Heenan, who is not a criminal), and we are quite sure that Heenan's friends will be gratified with what has been done (consistently with legal exactitude) for his com fort : _ _ Mr. Leech said he appeared on behalf of Heenan, at the request of several influential inhabitants of Derby, who felt a deep interest in the case, and who wished Heenan to have full justice done him. He had committed no offence whatever ; his offebee was a mere suppositi ens one, and it would not do for the magistrates to. pay any attention to garbled reports which had ali-eady appeared in some of the daily papers. It was, urged that lleenan had used threats against the polied ' uthorities, and had de dared his intention to fight the English champion under any circumstances. Now, when it was known that Heenan (an American) had been hunted through no less than five counties in England, and had been ev. ritually run down after a severe chase in Derbyshire, and had been temporarily confined in a cell usually occupied by felons, whilst his intended adversary was known to be pursuing his training exercises without interruption, it was natural enough he (Heenan) should use harsh ex pressions; but he (Mr. Leech) was now instructed by Heenan to say he regretted having used any improper language. He had not committed any breach of the peace, and might not do so. It was not for the magistrates to consider what was the amount of the prize for which it was said Heenan was about to contend. It was immaterial whether it was a sovereign or £5,000. The condition in life of the party accused was the main consideration, and as Heenan followed the employment of a black smith in his own country, and was a man in poor circumstances, the magistrates would not require heavy bail. They would not ask for more than was really needful and proper; and two respectable tradesmen in Derby, and men of property, instructed him (Mr. Leech) to tender their names as sureties, and no objection could be offered against them. Dr. Heygate said—l have no intention of allow ing any vindictive feeling, and I shall require Heenan to be bound over to keep the peace to all her Majesty's subjects in a bond of £5O and two sureties of £25 each. (This announcement was received with applause.) Immense excitemeLt prevailed. The market place and neighbouring streets were crowded. Heenan left the hall by a passage behind, and was loudly cheered by the populace, who accompanied him to a cab, which was in waiting. On Saturday morning Heenan was brought up before Dr. Heygate at Derby. He was represented by Mr. S. Leech, from the office of Mr. Gamble. There were also several of his friends present, who had arrived that morning by mail train from London. Mr. Whiston, magistrates' clerk, addressing Heenan, said—You, John Heenan, are brought here on the information of John Shaw, who says, from information he has received—namely, that a prize fight is likely to take place in the county of Derby between Thomas Sayers and John.Heenan, and that a riot is likely to occur in the said county—he re quires that the said John Heenan, who is now re siding at Low , Eaton, in the said county, may b e required to find surcties for good behaviour and for the preservation of the public peace for six months. Mr. Leech, addressing Dr. Heygate, said he ap peared on the part of Heenan, having been requested to do so by several gentlemen of the town. He (Heenan) requested him to state that he had never broken the peace in this county, and had no inten tion of so doing. It was true he might have made use of some harsh language, but it was done in the excitement of his capture, when his passions would naturally be aroused. But when they considered that he had been " hunted," as it were, out of eight counties, and that his opponent, Sayers, was allowed to go on with the greatest impunity, he did feel sore at the treatment he was receiv ing. If at any time he had made use of expres• sions that he ought not to have done, he was very sorry for it. Two respectable gentlemen of the town were present to give bail for his good beha viour, and it would be for the magistrates to fix the amount. The amount was always guided by the station in lifa of the persons called upon to find it, and he begged to inform the bench that in America Heenan carried on the trade of a blacksmith. He hoped the bench would not assess the bail at a large amount. Mr. Whiston, magistrates' clerk, said the bench had agreed to take Heenan's own recognisanCes of £5O, and two sureties of £25 each. He would also add that the authorities had no feeling in the mat ter beyond the preservation of the public peace. Capt. Foster, chief constable of the Isl• of Elv, in an official report to the quarter sessions, state; : —" Having received information that a prize fight was about to take place in the Isle of Ely, I made application to the Whittlesey bench, with the view to have the intended combatants bound over to keep the peace. The warrants were granted. One superintendent was despatched to Peterborough to apprehend John Heenan, the American pugilist, who had left before the arrival of the officer. An other superintendent was sent to Newmarket to take into custody Thomas Sayers, the English pu gilist. He reports as follows :--r Mr. Benyon was in the town, but refused to back the warrant, stat ing that it was a stretch of power:; the man had com mitted no offence ; as chief magistrate he would neither sign it himself nor permit it to be signed at Newmarket. I returned to Ely, being powerless. I did not see Sayers, but no more notice is taken of him in the place than any other man." CHEAP P 0,52 :10E AND CHEAPPAPER. With the abolition of the duty on paper there will un questionably fall upon the postal machinery of the country an enormous amount of additional labour. It may not be unwise therefore to inquire into the capabilities for further expansion which that machinery possesses. We recently, as our readers will remember, traced the growth of the General Post-office and its branches from an early period in English history, and endeavoured to show how dependent that g rowth was upon the march of mechanical improve ment. To the locomotive, cheap postage owed its origin, and it would be by no means difficult to prove the relation ship between cheap paper and the same parent. It is not,how - ever, our purpose now to trace the consanguinity of these several blessings to mankind, but rather to inquire into the manner in which they will probably work together for the general good. The impulse which must be given to educa tion by the removal of the unholy "tax on knowledge" we believe to be of almost incalculable extent. There will not be an educational institution in the kingdom, from the highest in pretension down to the most modest village school, which will not benefit by the repeal of the paper duty. Books and newspapers will thenceforth be treated as they should be—as necessaries of life, and allowed to circulate as freely. The Chancellor of the Exe'tequer by removing from the statute-book the obnoxious impost which acted as a barrier to the free dissemination of thought, and which hampered intellect in its senseless trammels, "de serves well" not only of "his country" but of the whole world. Let us not be led from our purpose, however, which was to examine into the expansibility of the Post-office, and its qualifications for meeting the increased demands sure to be made upon it. In order to obtain reliable data upon which to base calculations, it will be well to look at the establish ment as it is. Taking the United Kingdom, and drawing our information from the highest possible sources, it may be stated that there are within its sea-girt limits at this hour eleven thousand two hundred and thirty-five post offices, of which 806 are what aro known as head post offices, and 10,420 sub- post- offices. In addition to these, many hundreds of road and street letter boxes have been recently erected. As these are intended only for the collection of letters at present, they, perhaps, may be left out of the account, in consideration of the facilities for book and newspaper transmission, though eventually pillar posts will be pressed into the latter service without doubt. As a further proof, if it were needed, of the close alliance between the locomotive and letter writing, it should be known that during the last year fourteen additional towns have had the advantage of day m ills conferred upon them ; and since numerous branch railways are in progress or in embryo it is certain that this number will be steadily added to. Scotland has gained especial postal advantages of late, and letters, newspapers, and books, posted by the London night mail are delivered in the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow by eight the next morn ing. Of course, towns to the northward of those places par ticipate in these benefits, which the regular working of th e trains enhance considerably. Post-office extension requires much judicious considera tion on the part of those who govern the gigantic establish ment no doubt, but it is, we believe, the rule in all cases where it can be proved that additional mails will be self supporting to put theta on. When the commercial success of a new mail cannot be demonstrated, the Post-office not un frequently, upon urgent application, allows such a sum to wards its establishment as it considers itself warranted in expending, and these persons who desire the boon may guarantee the remainder. Here, then, exists the nucleus for a wide-spread ramification of the postal system, which in the coming age of cheap paper will be inevitably taken advantage of. On some of the railways the General Post-office authorities have the use of all or any of the trains, but the number of railway companies in existence in the United Kingdom, and the varied, and sometimes ra ther crotchet y notions of their directors, make this a particular rather than a common rule. A remarkable illustration of the last -named fact occurs in relation to the e xtremities of England and Scotland—Land's End and John O'Groats. The transmission of a letter from one ofthese places to the other involves the Post-office in no less than twenty-one separate contracts with railway companies, and this independent of conveyance between stations by . rural messengers, &c. The cost of postage for such letter is after all Ono Penny so much for cheap postage. Most of our readers are aware of the existence of travel ling post-offices on the railways, and these facilitate mar vellously the sorting of letters, books, and papers. Doubt less, under pressure of the new state of things consequent on the remission of the tax in question these will be added to in number, and improved in character. The appa ratus for exchanging mail-bags without stopping the trains, very excellent and economical of time as it is, is also capable of extension in its application if not of im provement in construction, and, in short, there appears to be no reason for fearing that—whatever extent the healthy demand for cheap knowledge may reach—the Post-office is not expansible enough. to meet and minister to that demand.

(From the Saturday Review.) England could once boast of a Prince who Wag the fi st gentleman in Europe. At the present day we may more legitimately congratulate ourselves upon the fact that our future Sovereignis receiving an education of almost unprecedented variety and. completeness. Not the least among Queen Vic manytitles to the respect and gratitude of t her subjects is the watchful sagacity with vrhiiiit the heir apparent is being prepared for th. , mo mentous responsibilities which are one day to de volve upon him. The Prince cf Wales has every opportunity of becoming one of the best-info Ined men of his day. He is seeing the cities and man ners of many men ; his name is enrolled amoiig tho students of more than one great seat of learning ; all that is fairest in art, and most curious in science —the latest result of philosophy, the nicest adju s t. meat of mechanism— has been pressed into the ser vice of rousing the inquisitiveness and enlarging the understanding of the Royal scholar. Nothing has been spared which could tend to demonst rate how serious and how interesting a matter life is, and how far too valuable it is to be wasted upon unintelligent pleasures, or suffered to pass away in the splendid frivolities that too often have made up the sum of court existence. • social oohcfo ut i auc 10l simplen eminence enjoyd pe n s t onso me justice fo t r entails. th h e a t s exceptionale3rprincesooun s taadd drawbacks their sn: ba sagac eyksss, which y o h u l iN t e t v h hay iss but that he is lost in astonishment that monarchs should be capable of sustaining their burthen of dignity ; and the difficulty must be all the greater from the fact that they are, from the necessity of the case, deprived of almost all that moral discip line of struggle, hope, and disappointment, which forms the most valuable portion of the training of ordinary mortals. The great tasks of lif e are ready done to their hand—its noblest prizes arts already within their grasp. There must be an enervating consciousness of having nothing to tc ark or hope for, and little to fear. They start to i ear the winning-post that the pleasurable and heal ;hy excitement of the race is entirely lost. Then, again, habitual ceremony must dangerously enhance the difficulty of social intercourse. A king may, no doubt, have his occasi ons o f f am ili ar i ty, but t\ey must be the exception and not the rule, and the constant bias of his mental habits must _be in an opposite direction. It is not every monarch , vho possesses sufficient versatility to pass, like Fred a ick the Great, from/he dull rigidities of court etiqu site to the philosophic enjoyment ofpipes, beer, and I on versation. There is a sort of isolation in great ness which must make it almost impossible for a ma:. to know either himself or the world about him. tis by the rude contact of actual experience that we get to know life, and in this a prince is forbiddrzl to participate. The smiles of courtiers, the obsee:aieus ness of attendants, one fine pageant succeeuing to another, the apparent profusion which re.gns around, and the entire absence of all the little wor ries of existence, must tend; one wonld imaging, to produce a pleasing but dangerous illusion as to the real state of things. The streams of truth reacth a royal car in feeble volume and diluted quality ; 'ex istence is seen through a rose-coloured medium, and the rude tones of suffering or discontent are al ,t to lose half their sharpness as they pass within. the doors of a palace. It was not mere constitutional in difference that suffered Louis XVI. to amuse him self calmly with his hunt or his workshop, while Paris was starving at his doors, and the storm-c loud of revolution was ready to burst over his head. When a great queen, we are told, once travelled through her dominions, the solicitude of her Mi ais.. ter erected artificial villa gas here and there expre sly for the occasion, to relieve the desolate monot my which would otherwise have been too painfully ap parent. The future King of England is allowed to pass his youth in no such unreal and unhealthy: at mosphere. He is thrown into positions where he must stand face to face with life ; and the inter.ded visit to Canada, announced in the Duke of New castle's despatch to the House of AAsembly, can scarcely fail to prove a valuable addition to the stock of experience already acquired. It will call his attention, more than - any of the scenes of w]tich he has as yet been a witness, to the study his fellow-men. It will force him to take notie:, o f national characteristics, and to trace the nati. mal tastes and tendencies under varied circumstanc, s of climate, custom, and government. It will cony ..nce him of the many nice shades of difference in opi,tion and sentiment which separate each section of the human community from all the rest, and of the ab solute necessity of making allowance for them if we would argue about mankind with correctnes-s, or calculate with precision the effect of any influences that may be brought to bear upon it. Such dis tinctions are none the less real because they are sometimes too subtle to be expressed in words, and the inability to appreciate them has been an ong the most fatal stumbling-blocks at which Royalty has so often tripped and fallen. To make ext.3tly the right allowance for them is one great secret of Statecraft, and the Prince could nowhere learn the' lesson to greater advantage than among the too curiously heterogeneous, and in some respects con trasted, communities of which the Canadian m tion consists. For those communities have, almost lur ing the Prince's own lifetime, passed through re arly every variety of political vicissitude. There has been the smouldering of discontent, the wild Naze of rebellion, the reaction of patriotism, the steady growth of affectionate loyalty. There has been financial embarrassment, with its attendant train of miseries ; there have been strong remedial mea sures, the actual operation of which the Prince 'will have the benefit of observing ; and there has been commercial enterprise grandly conceived and vigo rously cargied cut, of which the great work whose opening his visit will inaugurate is but a single though perhaps a remarkable instance. Everywhere there has been change, effort, progress—evils met by their proper cure, causes leading to an immedi ate result. If Royalty is to go to school, where, better than in such a country, could the lessons be learnt which are most valuable to a Piince ? The retrospect is one which every Englishman must regard with the utmost satisfaction. Canada stands side by side with the United States, a memorial of successful, as con trasted with foolish legislation. The one reminds us how much may be effected by timely, liberal, and considerate measures of concession—the other, now that every animosity has died away, remains a use ful warning to statesmen of the dan;ers of a vi o l ent and obstinate policy.

Then came the actual colli sion of arms—demonstrations and counter-demon strations, the oath of devotion, the cap of liberty— all the accustomed machinery of revolution with which Europe was too familiar. The energy of a few vigorous commanders struck down the growing re bellion with two or three decisive blows; and the sa gacious moderation of Parliament determined upon. measures underwhichCanada is fast rising into set tied prosperity, and has become honourably conspicuous among our colonial possessions for a devoted loyalty to the mother country. In 1838 Lord Durham, in one of his despatches, dwelt in the strongest terms upon the mortifying eontrast which the Canadian provinces offered to the energetic prosperity of the neighbouring States. There were, for example, only fifteen miles of railway iii the whole country; and the other departments of commercial enterprise were in a correspondingly inactive condition. The supply of emigrants had, owing to the disturbed state of the country, fallen to a mere fraction of its usual amount. The animosities of race burnt high, and national affairs were conducted with a scan dalous disregard of the public interest. Diftress and discontent were prevalent alike in every section of society.
