FEBRUARY 9, 1852. German influence it was which led to the dismissal of Lord PALMERSTON. Of this there can no longer be any question whatever. It was apparent from the commencement, it is undeniable in the conclusion of the very remarkable occurrences which have thud formidably shaken to its centre the Cabinet at present conducting the affairs of administration. There could not from the first be a moment's doubt in any reasonable person's mind that to German influence, and to German influence alone, the late Foreign Secretary owed his expulsion from her MAJESTY'S Government. As we have already repeatedly observed, the fact was transparent at the very instant when that rash act on the part of Lord JOHN RUSSELL was ori ginally proclaimed through the columns of a morning contemporary. It was made public in the Times of the 24th of last December, and yet lo ! and behold ! it was mentioned in a letter written from Vienna on the 23d of last December, being printed in the Breslau Gazette on the night of the 24th, and pub lished in that journal on the morning of the 25th—a coincidence too extraordinary of its kind, in rela- tion to a matter of such vast importance, not to be admitted at once as one in every way most singular and significant. As such it was alluded to immediately afterwards by ourselves. As such it has been subsequently brought under the consideration of the House of Commons by the Hon. Baronet the Member for the borough of Marylebone. But this is not all. A variety of other circumstances have gone far to corroborate our earliest statements as to the German influence which really led to the dismissal of Viscount PALMERSTON. The abbreviated and evidently cautious explanations made by that statesman himself before the popular branch of the Legislature pointed out only too clearly the motive of his reservations. He was touching ground altogether too delicate to be trodden upon boldly. He was, therefore, compelled to restrict himself to those portions of the argument which were the least cab u lated to draw the general attention to the latent ems, of his removal from the Government. Nevertheless, although little has been said upon the real bearing of these secret but perfectly comprehensible reasons, the nation has heard quite enough to enable it to form something like an accu rate judgment upon the position in which the late Foreign Secretary stands i❑ reference to the country and the Administration. Displeasing his policy may hitherto have been in high quarter:, but in the pre sent instance, in the instance of his Parliamentary exculpation, it must necessarily, we feel assured, be a subject, in those same high quarters, of very genuine and profound admiration. It will be per ceived there, at least, clearly enough, that out of office Lord PALMERSTON is as loyal as in office he is patriotic. _ _ Never was a Minister so disgraced with so entire an absence of diminution either to his dignity or to his popularity. Perhaps we are not altogether accu rate in saying " never," when we call to our remem brance the ovations which accompanied Sir ROBERT PEEL on the occasion of his ever-memorable downfall —on that occasion when the great administrator was greeted by the multitude at the moment of his re tirement from the head of the Government with an enthusiasm such as had never been displayed towards any statesman at the time of his assuming the reins of administration. Somewhat in a similar manner has Lord PALMERS TON sent in the seals of the Foreign Department. There is no perceptible change in the elevated position in which the Noble Lord has hitherto stood before the millions of his fellow-countrymen. Almost equal regard is had to his ir.fluence as at the period when he was still one of her MAJEbTY'S Principal Secretaries of State. Insomuch is the prestige of his name sus tained even at the moment when he is supposed ro be under the cloud of his dismissal from her 3.la.rxsTr's Government, that on Saturday evening he was surrounded by as numerous and influential a throng of diplomatists, politicians, statesmen, and legislators, as at any period when he was most popular as a member of the Administration. Donee erisfelix multos numeratis amicos,is the old sneer of the Roman at the insincerity and evanescence reputed to be the characteristic of friendship. Even supposing the axiom to be true—which we don't—Lord PAL MERSTON cannot but be regarded as one still numbered amongst the ranks of the prosperous. We consider these `! troops of friends," however, as bearing testi mony not so much to the continued felicity of the Noble Lord's position, as to the sympathy entertained towards one whose difficult and innumerable labours as a statesman have been inadequately recog nised, or if recognised repaid only by ingratitude. IN , e deduce, moreover, from the attitude assumed towards the late Foreign Secretary by so many public men of distinguished character, that anticipations neither few nor feeble are entertained that his withdrawal from the toils devolving upon an administrator is only for a while, and that before many months have elapsed he may not merely be infusing anew his in fluence into our foreign policy, but presiding—facile princeps—over the entire fabric of the Government. Another significant intimation has been given of the nature of the new Reform Bill, and some insight afforded into Ministerial intentions on other matters. The new President of the Board of Control has addressed his late constituents viva voce at the Town hall, Perth, humbly seeking " their most sweet voices" and a renewal of former confidence. It was, of course, incumbent on the Right Hon. Gentle man, who has for some time held a seat in the Cabinet, and who has just been promoted to a more important situation—one, indeed, peculiarly so—at the present moment, when the renewal of the charter to the East India Com pany, and the various modifications and changes that must be introduced in the government of that gigantic empire are necessarily under consideration— to say something respecting the various matters that have so strongly excited the public curiosity. It was still more essential that he should explain the re a s ons . that i n d uce d hi m t o c h a nge his opi abl:en ns on questi ons o f t h e d eepest i nteres t. H e had a supp orter of " the ballot, " an d certa i n ly did not i ncur the vote on th e occasion displeasure of his constituents by his Would he still maintain his course by supporting which would afford pro tection to the that theel,ctor i n honest exercise of the franchise, and c h ec k the infamous h system of bribery an d corruption, ofwhich :m* l'3f n s ? Or would late years re ceived so many disgraceful illustrations on which a u the ballot" remain an op en questios Cabinet Minister might remainth neutral ? It cou ld scarcely be supposed that the hostility of the Wh i g Ministr y , to one of n, the topics of most vita l im p ortance, a topic, indeed , essen tial to the true and faithful representation of the people, could be of a character so im p lacab le as to in duce them to compel their colleague to eat his former words, an operation that must necessarily be as un pleasant as the mastication of the leek by the antient PISTOL. it should have been their object to sustain his reputation, and to bring him back to Parliament with th e greatest d egree of credit possible. It was therefor e generally s upposed that t he Ri g ht H on . Gentlem an would announce on e of three courses— viz., Ist, Ttat the ballot would constitute a portion of the new measure (although the hopes of that " con summation so devoutly to be wished for," had become faint indeed); or 211 y, That it would remain an o p en q uestion on which h e m i ght vote as h e thought proper ; or, 3dly, That he might at least maintain neutrality, and be conveniently absent from the divi sion. It was scarcely anticipated that a case of such gross and sham-less tergiversation would be unblush . ingly avowed as tha t " the Honourable," we beg par don, " the Right honourable Gentle man ," s h ou ld venture to go through the farce of announcing a corn- i ! plete alteretion.-no doubt a conscientious alteration— in his former epinionl, and, like his celebrated proto type, bestow a heal:y kick on what he foolishly sup posed to be the dead lion. But so it was—the Right Honourable President of -he India Board not only chronicled, but absolutely 41oried in his shame. He coolly announced, that when " first returned for the county of Perth, and subsequently when returned for the city, " his opinions were always more against the ballot than for it 11" 'What a happy state of mind for this political MACHEATH. Could one be imagined more conducive to his private fortunes, although by no means so creditable to his public character ? He could for a proper con-si-de-ra-tion take either side. If his patron ignored " the ballot" he could declare that " his opi nion had always bean more against it:thanfor it." But put the question in a proper shape. Let him under stand the reason why he was to -support it, and he would speedily listen to reason. He would vote, aye, and speak most eloquently and impressively in favour of the system, which he was always more against ;t) an for. He now declares that " the only argument he ever saw for voting for the ballot" was the existence of certain fictitious votes that were created—not in Eng- land, nor in Ireland—but only in Scotland, and that he therefore advocated the plan for giving protection co the voter merely that "the party creating -he fictitious vote might not be secure in the exercise of it." Was there ever so ab surd, so utterly ridiculous an argument put forward by a man of ordinary capacity ? At one moment he tells us, that the ballot does not pro vide the requisite secrecy, as every man not only avows, but glories in his vote. Ergo, he supported it as a mode of preventing the creation of fictitious votes—that the party guilty of such an act might have no security as to the mode in which the votes would be exercised I He voted for that which would not give secrecy merely on account of that very secrecy ! Again, if we had universal suffrage he would support the ballot, but "so long as the elec- tions turn, as they do now, on the influence subsisting between the non-elector and the elector, he had no right to deprive the non-elector of the only way in which he can bring his opinions to bear in regard to how the elector exercises his vote." The Right Honourable Gentleman is thus the strenuous advo cate for external influences being brought to bear on the elector. He is not to exercise his own free will, bat to respect the wishes of the non-electors. If these parties are so well qualified to control others in the exercise of the franchise, why should it be still withheld from them ? What excuse can be offered for keeping theca political cyphers ? We shall await the reply of the Right Honourable Gentleman to that interrogatory. Wa cannot, in our inno cence, understand why a serious injury is to be inflicted on the voters, because others are sub .peted to still greater wrong. We shall not follow Mr. MauLE through the tissue of fallacies which he thought proper to offer to his late con stituents. We must, however, say, and that with regret, that his speech cn the occasion affords by no means a favourable augury of the good intentions of his colleagues, or of the concessions to be granted by the new Reform Bill of 1852. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. Their contents are of no great interest. The Union recommends the Legitimatists to exer cise their influence as a party in every way in which this can be done legally and effectively. This journal has been regarded as the organ of the great msjority of the Legitimatist party ; but it is evident, from what it says to-day, that there is great division as to the course to be adopted, and that it is feared by the Union that the refusal of the leading Legiti • matiats to take part in public business would have the effect of rendering them powerless for the future. In the Constitutionnel there is a grave article on the costumes to be worn by members, senators, &c, a subject which it appears, occupies the attention of M. CASARIANCA, the Minister of State. It is yet a most doubefal point whether the senators are to sport white or black feathers. The different sorts of em broidery which are to mark the gradations of official rank engage much attention. There is some appre hension lest the members of the corps Zegistatif may rebel against being put in livery, Ali that is certain, according to the somewhat simple confession of the Government journal, is, that the salons are making merry at the roan-millinery. The President of the Court of Appeal has addressed a letter to the Bdtonnier of the Order of Advocates, directing him to require that advocates shall appear before the Courts in the costume fixed by the laws of Nivo3e, An. xii., and of 30. h March, 1808. This, says the Gazette des Tribunaux, has been rendered necessary, in consequence of young advocates per sisting, in spite of the warnings of the judges, in ap pearing in costumes not in accordance with the dignity of justice. Prince NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, cousin of the PRE SIDENT of the Republic, arrived at Calais on the sth from Paris, and embarked the same day for Dover in the Garland steamer. Among the French refugees who have made known their intention to take up their residence in Belgium are MM. Bazs (ex-questor of the Assembly), ManftEu, its,r, and BAJARD, ex-representatives of the Drome; LAMARQUE, of the Dordogne; BRUCK NER, ex - representative ; and AUGUSTE MOREL, ex editor of the National. Liege has been designated as the residence of the two last-named; and Louvain as that of M, JULES FAVRE. The Debuts says:— " Accounts have reached Paris from Constantinople, that the liberal Ministry,under the presidency of Re:chid Pacha, has been replaced by one much less favourable, it is said, to the idea' of reform of which Reachid Pacha was the ardent and constant promoter."

The particulars relating to the attempted assassi nation of her Mjesty Isabella 11. are as follows : On the morning of the 2d instant a great crowd surrounded the vicinity of the palace, to witness the procession of the Queen to the church of Atocha. Troops were drawn up on both sides of the way by which the Qu-en was to proceed, and the windows were filled with elegantly dressed women. At eleven o'clock the Queen, holding the Princess Royal in her arms, and accompanied by the King and all the Royal Family, proceeded from her apartment to the royal chapel to hear mass. She was returning from the chapel to her apartment at a quarter to one, with the royal infant still in her arms, previous to her pro ceeding to the church of Atocha, when she was ac costed by a man dressed as an ecclesiastic. This man, who had formerly been a monk, affected to offer a petition to the Queen, and according to Spanish ceremony put his knee to the ground. As the Queen was in the act of graciously taking the paper he struck her in the side with a dagger, and was drawing back to make a second blow, when Count Vance Hermosa and a halbardier threw themselves on the assassin, and in the struggle the Count received a wound on the cheek. The assassin on being arrested expressed no sign of regret, exclaiming, " What about myself ! I have killed her." The Queen, on receiving the blow, only cried out "Save my child." The assassin's name is Merino, and is said to be a relation of the sanguinary cure of the same name. He is a man of apparently 60 years of age. His look is that of cold•blooded ferocity and gloomy fana ticism. He is said to have been once engaged in a conspiracy to assassinate Ferdinand VII., and was compromised in another conspiracy to murder the Queen Mother an d Narvaez in 1844. While s tabbing , tee Queen, he exclaimed " Tome, eres muerte (hold, you are de ad). Since then he has been heard to exclaim, with an air of triumph, "Oh ! if she is not dead, she wit 1 die." Some have fancied that the dagger might ha ye been poisoned, but nothing has been found calcr dated to confirm the suspicion, for the Queen has continued to go on well. The follow ing are the ten - .as of the dispatch received by the French Ministe r for Foreign Affairs from the Am bassador at Ma 3.rid : " While lea% ing her palace to go to the church of Atocha, the Q seen, surrounded by all her Court, was wounded is t the side with a dagger by a cure, .to, who h as been see rested The woun d is not believed to be d angerous, an the Queen exhibits g reat coura g e. Solicit u d e and etixiety are generally felt." The cereino ay which was to take place was sus pended, and asthe soon as intelligence arrived at the a church of ;ha, the diplomatic corp . , heade d b y General A • uplel the French Minister, and dignita ries of the S cat , who were waitiree there for her Ma jesty, hastened to the palace to felicitate her on her escape.

Attachment to the Catholic faith, devotion to the country, menaced in the wny it was, became confounded with the philosophical and revolutionary doctrines that have worked their way into Spain. Martin Merino ap pears to havo been one of tho se i n w h ose m i n d s revolu tionary doctrines ultimately gained the ascendancy over Christian faith. For a long time ho bas only been a priest in name. In 1822, yielding to the demagogical doctrines, he became comp rom i se d i n a d es i gn to as sassinate Ferdinand, and was arrested and thrown into prison." GEltinAN Y. We learn from Gotha that the Duke of SAXE Comma has dissolved the Chamber in consequence of its having thrown out the project of law of a common fundamental law for the duchies of Coburg and Gotha, by 13 against 11, whereas the Chamber of Assembly and the Duchy of Coburg had already passed the same proje c t b y a ma j or i ty o f 17 aga i ns t 1. This opposition by the democratic party to the con stitutional aim o f the D uau may cause cons id era bl e unp l ea santness in the country. Writs will be imme diately issued for anew Legislative Chamber; which, according to the constitution, must be convoked within three months after the dissolution of the for iner ; and much will depend on the result of the elec tions. Meanwhile, however, the Parliament of the German Confederation may interfere; and by virtue of a resolution passed last August, may take the w h o le matter into its own hands—a circumstance which would be fatal to the interests of the country. The GRAND DUKE, in his message for the disso lution of the Chamber, expressly declared that, so long as it was possible, he would not deviate from the con stitutional mode of improving the state of the co untry through th e me di um o f it s own constitution HOLLAND. In the sitting of the Second Chamber, Mr. Deputy Mims proposed to the Chamber, after baying bad a debate in general committee, that the transac tions of the seco n d s i t ti ng , i n w hi c h the Hollando- Belgic treaty was discussed, should be made public, printed, and distributed to the members. This pro posal was carried unanimously. The additional pro• tocol of the treaty of commerce and navigation con cluded between the Netherlands and Belgium, has just been published. Notwithstanding the violent opposition which this treaty received in Belgium, especially from the Chambers of Commerce at Antwerp and Liege, it was carried by a triumphant majority through the S.,cond Chamber of that king dom, as well as through the First and Second Chambers of the Netherlands. As yet it has not passed the Senate cr First Chamber of Begium, but there is no doubt of the result, for the committee of reporters appointed by the Senate to examine the treaty have declared in its favour by a majority. The Staats Courant officially contradicts the re port that the French Government has made a pro test to the Dutch Government against the violence of the Netherlands press against the recent measures adopted by the PRESIDENT. M. Masui, Director-General of the Belgian tele graphs, and M. VAN DE Burr, engineer and delegate of the Dutch Government have just signed at Brus sels a convent i on re l at i ve to the establishment of a , line of electric telegraphs between Belgium and Huh land, starting from Ant werp, and terminating at Rot terdam, by Breda.

AFRICAN TRAVEL. -- - We read in the Akhbar of Algiers:—" One of our officers of Spahis, M. tiecquart, has just returned from an interesting journey into the interior of Africa. He departed from the French factory of the Grand Bassam, in benegambia, to ascertain if, as the naives affirm, the river Akba is only a tributary of the Niger. Having been abandoned by his guides, he was forced to return, but set out the second time on September Ist, 1850, from Sedhiou, on the Casa mame. Having gone up that river to Camako, where it ceases to be navigable, he crossed the space lying between that river and the Gambia, notwithstand ing the heavy rains which fell the whole time. He then went up the Gambia to Fatatenda, aid reached Kade, the point where Mollien stopped. At Kade, M. Hecquart was robbed of everything ho possessed, whic, however, did not prevent his continuing his journey to Timbo, in the Fouta.Diolou. He was therefore made prisoner by the Almani, who, how ever, allowed him to explore that rich country. He was at last permitted to return, and set out on June 23, 1851, and atter a journey of forty-five days in the midst of great privations, he arrived at Senou debou, literally in rags. In his return he visited the Tends, the Niocolo, the Caman, and the Boudou, and viewed the sources of the Senegal, the Falinia, the Rio Grande, and the Gambia. M. Hecquart had intended to penetrate to Tiwbuctoo, and although he did not succeed in his attempt, his journey will have the effect of opening a surer route into the interior, and has already been attended with happy effects for our commerce at Senegal, as the Almani caravans to our factories. toSt. Louis, accompanied by re presentatives sent Almani, and these were sent back I p°lms o lr. e a u d li e : d i.cta has w cittl iitvt r h ers o pr a c e: s tru e et n hra ts and highly gratified with the re ception given them by the Governor. M. Hecquart speaks several of the dialects of the countries which lie visited, and will, we doubt not, render great services to our colony at Senegal. ending Feb. 7,1852 ending Feb. 8, 1951 BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY.

THE Avon STEAMEZ.— It may not be generally known that Captain-Onslow, of the Royal Mail steam -shi p Avon (which sailed from Southampton on Sunday last, to convey home the mails 'which would have been brought by the ill-fated Amazon), who only returned on the 25th De cember, atter eighteen months' active service in the West Indiee, was one of the surviving crew of the unfort unate steamer Tweed, wrecked about four years since on the Alacranes. It was s i i i c sympathy and gocd feel in g that a nd kept the survi v i ng crew and passenge rs on the rocks whilst his brother officer, the brave Ellison ( now chief officer of the Teviot) , heroically volunteered to g o in the ma il-boat, although she was very much damaged (he r stern torn out, and bottom and stem stove in), to search for some vessel, with nothing to guide him but a compass between his legs. He fell in with one about one hundred miles from the wreck, and after an absence of four days triumphantly re turned and saved 79 persons, who must otherwise have pe rished on the desolate rocks. The City of London most gene rously rewarded the captain of the Spanish brig Emilio, but we believe the heroic conduct of Ellison was never requited. [Considering the extraordinary notice recently taken of Mr. Vincent in regard to his conduct towards the passengers and crew of the unfortunate Amazon, it is earnestly to be re gretted that no attention whatever has hitherto been paid to the really remarkable services, the heroism and the self-pos session of the gallant young officer whose name is above mentioned. Yet whatever may be the treatment experienced by Mr. Ellison, it cannot very speedily be forgotten that to his courage ei g h ty persons owe d the preservation of their lives, althou g h to accomp li s h t hi s he had in an open boat to traverse a dist ance o f near ly one hundred miles - a feat almost unparalleled in its display of daring and persever ance. Now t h at pu b l i c atten tion has been recalled to a cir cumstance which m u st still remain fresh in the general - re membrance, we trust that an officer so peculiarly entitled to promotion—and one whose conduct upon the occasion re ferred to mu s t ever exc it e our warmest admiration—will not continue much l o nger among the list of those whose courage and humanity are on ly repaid by ingratitude.—ED.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCA. From the 24th ult. to the 7th inst., both inclusive, the East India Company drew to the amount of 108,7931. 2a. 3d. on the three Presidencies. There will probably be 3,500,0004 drawn for during 1852-3. A most erroneous statement having appeared in an evening contemporary, to the effect that the Bank of England had lowered the price of standard gold to 31. 17s. 9d., and that great dissatisfaction prevailed in the City in consequence, it may be as well to state that the Bank never gave more than that price, and, conse quently, that no dissatisfaction is or can be felt. The Bank is merely reducing the value of foreign coins not of standard fineness, and upon which it would sustain a loss now gold is so abundant. We explained this on Saturday, and now give the efficial notice:— " The Bank of England will purchase gold ingots at the rate of 31. 17s. 9d. per ounce of standard gold,' only when the parcel shall in the aggregate be of a quality equal or superior to the standard of 22 carats fine, and be fit for coi age without going through the process of refinage. Fur the convenience of the sellers, however, the Bank will purchase gold ingots of a quality not under 21 carats fine, on receiving from the seller an allowance equivalent to the expense of raising it to standard. The Bank will purchase American eagles, French 20 franc pieces, and Dutch guilders, at the rate of 31. 16s. lid. per ounce." The national balance-sheet for the year ending sth January last has been published, The receipts, as we already know, were 52,233,0661., and the expenditure was 49 506,6101 This includes 23,029 7491. as interest of the Permanent Debt, and 3,784,6641. of the Termi nable Annuities, besides 402,7131. for Exchequer•bills. The excess of income over expenditure was 2,726,3961. From a second account information is obtained of the balances of the public money, &c., and the following are the most interesting items:— _ _ _ Balance in the Exchequer, Jan. 5, 1351 £9,245,676 Applied during the year to reduction of debt 3,012,099 Advances fur local works, including 1,075,1061. for drainage, &c , less amount repaid Balances in the Exchequer, Jan. 5, 1852 ... 8,331,637 The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American and 500 Surat were taken for export; the market was quiet but steady, at previous rates. The sales comprised 5.500 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 6id., 100 Bahia at sad. to 300 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., and 1,000 Surat at 24d. to 4d, per lb.—The Share Market was firm, and prices had an upward tendency. Accounts from America of the 28th ult. have come to hand. There had been a good deal of debating upon the Mexican indemnity money, the difference of opinion be ing whether it should be paid in New York. The Congress had gone into a Committ ee o f W ays an d M eans upon the subj▪ ect. The Trent steamer bring s f avoura bl e a d v i ces f rom the West Indi▪ a colonies. The weather was very pro pitious for the crops. From Mexico we learn that the Republic continued quiet. There was an increased export duty of 21 per cent. on the exportation of specie. Mr. Falconnet has arrived. The English Stocks are very firm, but there is not much speculative business doing.

There are about 2,000,000 dol lars in bullion from New York and Mexico. Iu the Foreign Market Mexican Bonds have at tracted most attention, and have further improved. The remittance for the dividend is only 42,000 dollars, as far as we at present know, but the certainty of the appro priation being voted, and the fact of Mr. Falconnet having made arrangements for the dividend overdue, is in favour of the Bonds, which have realised 321 to 33k.

The supplies of Wheat on offer in the leading country markets held on S4turday were mostly disposed of at lull prices, but the demand was by no means brick. Fine foreign Wheats were generally held for more money. The Barley trade ruled active, at a further rise of 13 per quarter. Malt firm, and the turn higher. Oats, Beans, Pew, and Flour, the receipts of which were tolerablY extensive, moved oft freely at extreme quotations. Lattr advicea from New York state that Flour had further advanced 10 to 12 cents. per barrel, whilst all 1 1 grain had an upward tendency. Wheat is still improv ing in value in the north of Europe; but in France both Wheat and Flour have been selling on rather easier terms. The Black Sea m a rk e t s h ave ex hibit e d a slight improvement. The receipts of English grai n u p t o our mar ket last week were again limited. From a br oa d we received 7,025 quarters of Wheat, 800 Barley, 2,171 Oats, 3,3 05 Beane, 10 Tares, 556 Linseed, 818 R a p esee d, 90 sundry Seeds, 300 sacks and 5,215 barrels of Fl our . The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this morning's market coastwise from Essex and Kent was somewhat on the increase, but in v e ry middling condi tion, arising from the prevailing damp weather. From. Norfolk and the Midland Counties the receipts of al l kinds by land carriage were comparatively small, hence the show of samples of both red and white Wu; rather limited. The attendance of both town and country buyers was by no means large. Selected qua; tides commanded a steady inquiry, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last, but the middling and inferior kinds moved off slowly, at barely late rates. This comparative heaviness in the demand was chiefly attributed to the unwillingness on the part of the millora to purchase beyond immediate wants, from the damp state of the samples, most of which required a large admixture of dry foreign prior to being converted into flour. Very few contracts were effected for forward deliverP Growers in general were very firm in their demands. The show of fresh and ex-granaried samples of foreign Wheat was very moderwe. For fine dry qualities we had a steady, though not to say brisk inquiry, at ful l quotations. In damp parcels very few transactions took place, yet the importers refused to accept lower rates. Several cargoes of Wheat and Indian Corn have ar rived off Falmouth from the Mediterranean. Merchant s roused to sell, except at wily the late improvement to value. Notwithstanding that we were very scantily supPlie cl with Barley, the inquiry for that article was not S O active as last week. Nevertheless, prices were wel l maintained. Fine chevalier parcels of English sold a t 37s per quarter. Malt—the supply of which was moderate—was in fair request, at very Lull prices. We were very scantily supplied with both English and Foreign Oats, the trade for which was steady, and a good clearance of the samples was effected, at last week's club . cations. There was less inquiry for Beans, yet prices were wel l supported. Igi lap e and grey Peas were a slow sale; but whit ° were quite as dear. No change took place in the value of Indian Corn. Flour was in fair request, at the late advance—th e top price of English being 43s per 280, be. CURRENCY PEI& IMPERIAL MEASURE. Wheat—Essex & Kent, Malt—Chevalier......
