We were on the hustings, apd to neither, as far as we couldnhserie„ could be- fairly attached the :tide of Freeholders o Oren piers. Mr. Cobbettatood undauptedly, amidst' the confusion he had created, for more than half an hour, and at length, finding there was no disposition at all on one part to bear him, proceeded to address the chosen few who were around him, By dint of very great exertion we were enabled to get tolerably near Mr. Cobbett, but even then it was utter ly impoesible, from the immense crowd, to take any thing like a regular report of the address which Mr. C. made. He began by observing, that if he was convinced of the propriety of attending this meeting before, he was more partioularly so now,: after the declaration which had been made by the Hen. Member who had just spoken, who had admitted that he him self was wrong —that Parliament were in the wrong—and that Ministers were in the wrong; but if they had listened to what. he (Mr. C.) suggested, they Would hare beet, right, and if the meeting would now listen , to him he would point out a ' means of extricating them from the difficulties which surroud eel them he hid a petition which he would preseot to the meeting, which went completely to' the root of the evil; and would poiot out the onlyinearni' by .which the evil tiouldibe eradicated—a reibroi, a radical reform, of the House of Coon:. mons. in the resolutions which had been proposed by Mr, Thurtell, and seconded Mr. Watson, there was no po. sitive statement of the grievance, nor any thing positive which was asked ; and if a petition, founded on such resol u tion s , were sent to the riouso of Cot/mons, Ministers would di reedy say, that the yeomanry of Norfolk did not know what they wanted, or what they•would have. What the Honoura ble Member, Mr. Wodehouse, had said was perfectly true; it was ridiculous to say that Minieters had not taken off some texes, and he, Mr. C. thought that nothing should be said in a petition which was not perfectly true, and which could not be supported, if required, upon limb; but the petition width he would present to the meeting would not be of this maitre ; it would point out the real nature of the grievances which ex: isted, and he would apply a positive and specific remedy. one-fpurth part of the.rieople in the Hall, more especially those surrounding Mr. Cobbett. Mr. %'ATsON then came forward to take the sense of the meeting upon the dteaolutione proposed by. Mr. Thurtell, but there were not more than ten hands held up . in favour of It was then considered that the great majority of the meeting were not aware, from the confusion which existed, of the busi ness which was going forward, and agreed that the,Ateseeltitieens should he put again. • • Mr. ConnETT objected strongly to this mode of *it:Ceding ; his petition . had been put. and carried, • and he would ask the high Sheriff 'whether it was proper to take the sense ef,the Meeting :a itecond time. The EligliSheriffreplied, yes, if 00n tlemen wished it. Mr. Thurtell's resolutions were then again put by the High Sheriff himself„but with equally bad etwrcbs. After Atr. Cobbett again attempted to address the Meeting. butit was quite impossible to bear him. •`, • • The Rev. Mr. (ri.ovEn, after having obtained silence, ad dressed the meeting :—Was it not scircuuoititoce deeply to be lamentett, that a meeting like' the prevent, of the occupiers gird freeholders of the county, met for the puttwao . of„petitioning Parliament calmly and, dispt.ssion;ttely on -the lobjecr of their grieve:vole should be put down by a stranger.; who had ..neVer happottred amongst them before, and who might be said to have no property in the county of Norfolk ; his petitien were adapted, it was but an adviec to practice fraud, .the most dis graceful thing which could happen to the County, andsubver me of every honourable feeling. Its only object was that ti:c debtor might defraed the creditor, to throw thp whele.of so. clay into 'Confusion, that certain individuals might profit by it. To the remarks respecting the Church, that a million had been applied for ate euginentation, it should be recollected that name of that •morery was applied in augmentetion of any living of more than OW. per annum. That Resolutions like those which had been proposed by Mr. Thurtell should be put down by u stranger,. was an act so disgraceful, that he could not help Corning forward to tell the meeting that the object was not to raise the price of corn, but to enable the fanner tergrow it so as he might obtain a fair remuneration. With thee° views he would again read the resolutions to the meeting, re questing that silence might be . maintained, and the meeting enabled to judge which were the most proper to be adopted: Mr. (Hover then again read Mr. Thurtell's resolutions with a very audible voice, but no notice was taken of him. Mr. Glover wait then called upon by several in the crowd to read Mr. Cobbett'e petition, but he refused. Ile said he had no hand in framing the resolutions which he had read, and had never seen them till lie came into the.iiell, but he wished the meeting to understand them. its to Mr. Cobbett's petition, he was quite able to plead his own cause. The Under-Sheriff then again react Mr. Cobbett's petithim— after which, .Mr. Watson requested that those persons who heard the petition read phould bold up their hamlet, on which not more than ten hands were held up. - • " Sir TllOll. 1.111:,von protested against such proceedings . ; and Mr. Cobbett, as far as we were enabled to hear him, in very strong terms appealed to the High Sheriff' and to the world whether his petition had not been carried. Sir Tito MAS Enavoit then moved a resolution, that OK-re solutions proposed by Air. Thurtell had been rejected, and. the petition moectrei an, amendment by Mr. Cabbett, had been carried—that the High Sheriff be requested to sign it, and the County Members to present it. 'Mr. Coal: then addressed the meeting, stating it was his wish to be underetood, and as the itepresenuttive of this county in Parliament, he wished to know what was the real opinion. The re.solotiotts which had been first put were approved by him as far as the went; he thug ht they were stronger worded than could have been expectiel ; ,he hoped they had been. Wl* derstnod—(criee of no, nojt it ws his only wish that the mu lotions and the petition should he'reitil and understood, and to sense of thomeetiog taken. • Sir TitOaraslikEvon asked the Sheriff if the .petitioa irks not iiieried44thelligh Sheriff'said yea, certainly it was, by' the spew of hands.—Sir Thomas then triored, that the High Sheriff should sign on behalf of the meeting, which 114,C011intt.

[From the Norwich Mercury of Saturday.] At 12 o'clock on Friday, this Meeting, consisting of not less than 7,000 persona, of whom the Owners and Occupiers of Land constituted more than a moiety, had assembled at the Hall in St. Andrew's. 31r. COKE and Mr. WODEIIOVSE. the County Memb ers , on their coming forward, were received with the most flattering marks of respect. Mr. Coke first ap peared, and Mr. W r odebouse, on his arrival, cordially shook hands with his worthy colleague—this interchange of respect was greeted by loud cheering. Soon after Mr COBBETT Mounted the hustings, but his coming created no sensation. The 111011 &TERME, having previously adjourned the meeting from the Castle-Hill, opened the business nearly as follows : Gentlemen—By the obliging sanction of the Mayor of Norwich, who has granted the use of the Hall, and having adjourned from the Castle Hill, this meeting is now convened for the pur. pose of taking into consideration the distress of the Agricul tural Interest of this County, in consequence of a requisition signed most numerously, and by almost all the principal owners and occupiers of the boil from every part of this once most opulent and most flourishing county, and, as I consider, by those who constitute the most useful link in the state of so. ciety—to take into consideration the best means of effectually relieving a distress which daily continues to increase, and under which the landed interest has so long continued to labour. As it is a distress concerning which there is but one opinion, and as it affects equally the merchant, the manufacturer, and agri cultitrist, whose interests are interwoven one with another, it is one consolation to perceive that, as the requisition for a meeting on this important occasion, whereas the appearance of the greatest unanimity mini alfparties, so in the discus. sion of the question, it is to be trusted, the object of the requisi tionists will be most particularly complied with, as far as their nature and circumstances will, admit. lam sure it is unne cessary for me to impress upon your minds that this will be a sure means of receiving a fair and impartial hearing, and of ob. taining a fair and impartial discussion of the causes which have brought the agriculturists to this state. The cultivation of the soil, in my opinion, is the basis of wealth.—(Hear!)—That the county of Norfolk has a right to take the lead on this occasion there cannot be a question, considering the rank it holds as an agricultural county, considering the urgent state of distress to which it is reduced—considering the property sunk, nay even annihilated in the cultivation of the soil—a distress which has reached the proprietor equally with the tenant—a distress more than commensurate with its former prosperity, as it appeared by the evide nce o f t h e Reports of the Committees of the House of Commons. To this distress no alleviation has been afforded by the House of Commons, and constituted as that House now is, it neither had nor could have much sympathy with this class of persons. I cannot conclude without expressing my hope that your petition will be couched in respecttul terms, hut still in a tone you have a right to assume, in asking for that pro tection which your distress requires and the magnitude of the subject demands. Before I conclude s if you will allow me, I will read a letter which I received at the moment I entered the Hall, from a Noble Lord who will not he present at the meet , ing. The High Sheriff then read the following letter from Lord Albemarle : Quiddenham Jan. 3, Iftl3. SIR-I know not how far Tam warmntedin intruding the explanation of the conduct of an individual, but if you have the opportunity I should feel myself much obliged if you would state to the meet i ng, that however much may ap prove, and have frequently shewn that I approved, the expres sion of popular opinion, yet I felt unwilling to attend on this day, being fully persuaded that any meeting of the people to attempt any tlunglfor the relief of the agricultural distress, or of any other grievance, must be ineffectual and useless, and worse than useless, because a delusion, unless its tint object be that which I Understand to be omitted in the resolutions to be moved—a Reform in Parliament ; and agreeing generally in the spirit of the resolutions, lam unwilling to interfere, thinking moreover that the great question of reform should not he brought in incidentally, but thould itself form the main and substantial object of every m eet i ng. I have the honour to he, Sir, Your most obedient very humble Servant, A Mr. TRUILTELL then said th at i t had A fallen to his RLE lot . to again discharge the duty of addressing them at a County Meet ing. It is usual for gentlem en to l ament their inability in do ing justice to the subject, but in the present instance he should Alo no such thing. (Here there was a considerable noise, and Mr. Te stopped for some momenta.) The retolutions, said Mr. T. on returning, which I shall present for the consideradon of the meeting, are such as L trust will meet your approbation; and as ap plied to his Majesty's Ministers, they contain strong ex. pressions. Mr. Thuxtell was here so overcome as to be un able to bring his thoughts to bear on the subject, and after a few moments delay begged that the meeting would }mint hint indulgence,eus be was not in the habit of public speaking. lie then proposed the ResOlutimis, which were read by the Under Sheriff, and which appeared in The Suet of Saturday. Mn. GEORGE WATSON then again read the resolutions as the meeting was not able to hear them before, and proceeded to speak nearly to the following etliect am sorry that it has fallen to my lot to appear in so conspicuous a situation as to second the resolutions at a county meeting t but having been called upon by a large number of my friends, I am juatified in doing so, although I regret that the principal land-owners of the county should not have come forward themselves on the present most important occasion,. in support of their tenantry, thus suffering them to sink without using on- single effort in their behalf. But as they did not choose to 4ppear forward on this subject, was it for the occupiers to be entirely silent? No, certainly non —Weer, hear!)—.Were we to crouch and not to seek the redress we wanted ? No, gentlemen, no, no ! I hope, gentlemen, that however we may ditler in some point*, %Ve know our rights, and knowing, dare maintain." Seirry I am these gentlemen are so itulitkrent, because we would rather follow than lead, and glad should I have been if the landed proprietors had taken the lead this day. These are times when every man should speak his mind openly, and am sorry that now the vessel is so leaky, and in such danger, any man, who should be lendinghis assistance on deck, should be asleep in the cabin heedless of the danger that awaits him. The landlords cannot exist without the tenants. They cannot (term the lands theniselves, and what would be the consequence of the destruction of the tenantry ? —Why, that the landlords would have to support the poor, and that they would be swel. lowed up in the vortex which gapes to receive them. I trust that such a ruin will be averted, and that they will come for. ward and lend their strenuous endeavours to prevent this line pending danger. Mr. COKE then rose, and was received with the loudest de monstrations of respect and satisfactiOn. Gentlemen, said Mr. C. often as I have attended county meetings I never yet was present at one which-gave me more infinite gratification than the present. The requisition is signed_ by the cultivators of the soil, and most numerously and respectably signed too--a de scription of men who through the whole course of my life I have looked upon as the most valuable part of society. happy am I, gentlemen, that the county of Norfolk, on this occasion, sets the example to other counties in calling a meeting to pe tition for the redresi of their grievances: I trust that such an example will be tbllowed by the whale people, to whose voice, when united, Ministers cannot refuse to grant the redress re quired. The resolutions—and happy am I that the requisi- UOl3iSiS at length concur in the Means of redress required, and that both parties are so nearly united—the resolutions are pretty stiff and strong, and signed by a large number of requisitionists who agree in their strpport. It is peculiarly gratifying to my feelings to perceive that at length the co un ty is aware of and ac knowledges what during my whole life I have maintained—that the system we haVibeen fallowing is ruinous. In the very first line of the resolutions it states "that it appears to this meeting that the system upon which our national concerns have been hitherto conducted has.(at length) led to a state of agricultural distress unprecedented and unbearable." To this confession I ant not astonished that the county is at last brought. The se vend resolution is certainly equally strong with the filet. The third, which presses fora reduction of taxation, " which ought not to have been imposed," does not at all surprise me. IS'ith the fourth resolution I agree in the main. But as to the reduction of the national debt, I must state that although 1 think the county must come to that nt last (appleuse) —yet Its an honest man, I think that everyplace, pension, and sinecure, every method of economy ought first to be resorted to, ought to be fully tried, in order to satisfy the public mind, that as much as could be done to alleviate the country from its distress, its ruin, has been accomplished. I ant of opinion that he time is not very far distant when a reduction of the national 4clet must take place, and I think that.the fundholders would 'be wise were they to come to some compromise. livery exertion ought to be made to *reduce the expenditure. The abolition of the Malt Tux would be a great relief to the agriculturists, and would likewise be a considerable comfort to the lower class of the community. These are my opinions, anti I tun proud to stand here the representative of those who call upon the hegis lature, in so firm and so manly a manner, for the redress they require. Mr. Coke said he would offer a few words on what had fallen from Mr. AVatson. Ho must beg to differ from that gentleman, who bad found fault with the large landed pro prietors for not taking the lead on this occasion. For his part he was gratified that the meeting had arisen from the quarter from whence it did, and be considered it by far most preferable, that the resolutions should have been proposed by the occupiers than by the landed proprietors.—( While Alr. C. was saying this, Mr. Watson said, I find fault with others, not with Mr. Coke.) Mr. WOREITOTISIE rose, and was received with applause and disapprobation, but the form er p reva il e d. It i s not , sa id M r. Weelehouse, my intention to trespass for one single moment longer than a sense of public duty requires.' If these are the re. solutions to be adopted by this meeting, it hi necessary on such points, that one, standing in the situation in which I stand, should think as he pleasee, and also speaks its he thinks. (Applause.)— I will pass at once the first resolution to the se cond, being of a general nature, which complains that no dis. position has been shewn by his Majesty's Ministers to diminish the pressure of calamity, except by so partial a reduction of taxation as beam no proportion to the cause of complaint. You will have the goodness to reco ll ect , t h a t t h e reduction that was made, and which you state to be partial, was very nearly equal in amount to the reduction contemplated by some of the leading characters of Opposition—Mr. Brougham anti hard Alrhorpe, whose propositions would have included the fatal annihilation of that fund, which,' in the epinion of two of the greatest statesmen that ever lived, Mr. Fox; as well as Mr. Pitt, was indispensable to national prosperity.—(A laugh.) Havtng proceeded thus far, I will trespass for a short time longer. The conclusion of the fourth resolution prays for "such a reduction of the national debt as is required by the pre sent circumstances of country, and the imperative claims of public justice." Pray , gentlemen, let me ask you who is to be the judge as to what portion of the national debt is to be re. duced ? Sonic will require a third, some a half,' and some perhaps the whole,—l beg to be understoOd not as speaking from passion, nor yet without thought. Rather than give the slightest countenance to a petition founded on such vague rea soning, to that which prays for wale reduction of the national debt as the circumstances may require,. you may believe I would rather never enter the door of the Howie of Corn. mons again. The last resolution refers to the Malt and Beer Taxes. My opinions respecting these taxes have been so often delivered on this point, that they cannot be mise taken. A great many are not aware how Logo a p ort i on of the revenue is derived from these taxes. IS respect to the relief not being proportioned to the causes of complaint, it has a l wa y s been my opinion that without denying the operation of other causes, the leading cause of our distress is the alteration in the valde of our money. It was this persuasion that induced me to vote with Mr. flaring, when before the act Fatted, he proposed the reconsideration of the question ; and, when the object of his amendment being to alletiate the pres sure of that act upon the various branches of public industry, under the same persuasion that induced Me, in the course of the last Session, to vote with Mr. Western, then the ease was Ma terially altered. I never could comprehend why, because we should not do every thing, therefore we should du nothi ng . Let me not be understood as meaning to cast any particular censure upon the Right Hon. Gent. who introduced that measure to Parliament, and whose name it bears. Loeking to the character of public men, as a point of remarkable import ance , I b e li eve that whoever dispassionately reviews the conduct of that Right Honourable Gentleman since his entering into office, will feel abundant reason for satisfaction, that it pleased his Majesty to call him ter his councils, and to place him in the high situation which he now fills. At the same time I never could shut out from my mind, that neither he nor any of his Right Hon. Colleagues, nor any of those distinguished persons by whom they are opposed, neither Whigs nor Tones—that Parliament, generally speaking, had not a Just conception of the work in which it was engaged, anti wanting a clear Insight themselves, they adopted that which was suggested by Mr. Ricardo, by doing which they have brought a measure of sutferiag upon this country which it should be the object of their future lives to mitigate and atone for. Immediately after Mr. WODIIIIOIIBE had finish e d hi s speech, Mr. CORBETT, who was attended by a knot of Lila supporters, rose to address the Meeting, when the Hall be came a complete scene of confusion. A party appeared to have %untied for the express purpose of supporting Mr. Cobbett, The Broil Sll E km. objected to this mode of proceeding, he could not propose aVetition which was not founded on reso lutiens. Mr. Cobbett, however, persisted in his motion, which was immediately seconded by Sir Themes Beevor, and the fol lowing petition was handed to the Under Sheriff to read : To the Honourable the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliament assembled. The Petition of the Nobility, Gentry, and others, of the County of Norforlk, in County Meeting assembled, the 3d day of January, 1823, Most humbly sheweth, That your petitioners havexlwayi been . ready to make any -sacrifices which were necessary to the defence of their country and to the safety and dignity of their Sovereign's throne, but that they are now itnrelleiL by their well-known, indescribable, and unmerited suffertngs, to approuch your Honourable flipuse with an huMble prayer that you will be pleased to a dopt t h e best means of relieving them from those sufferings. That in proceeding to suggestthose means, which they do with the greatest respect and ,deference, your humble peti tioners cannot disguise front themeelves, and they will not at. tempt to disguise from your Ilon-Honse„- that they entertain a fixed opinion, that this now unhappy country owes all its ca. 'amities to the predominance of certain partieuler.families; who, since the passing of the Septennial Act, have, by degrees, appropriated to themselves a large part of the property and re. venue of the whole nation, and who have at last, by taxes, debts, and changes in the currency, involved themselves, as well s$ the whole of this industrious community, in difficulties too groat to be removed by the baud of time, or by any but the most rigorous measures of the legislation. That whether we look at the church, the army, the courts of law, the customs, the excise, the plot:Ars, or the crown land*, we see in each a channel of enormous emoluments to theee par denier families for whose benefit and aggrandizement, more than for any thing else, the whole of these sources of riches would appear to exist. And that therefore, though justice and necessity demand a reduction of the interest of the debt, and an equitable adjustment of all other contracts, your humble peti tioners would deem such reduction an act of deep iniquity, and they deem such adjustment wholly impracticable, as long as these particular families enjoy those emoluments, and as Th:ig as they retain in the Legislature that absolute sway which they have acquired through the means of the Septennial Act, in con junction with the notorious and scandalous abuses connected with the representation. -That it is well known to your Ilonourable House, that for more than twenty years the particular families received a large part of the above-mentioned emoluments out of th e mone y bo r . rowed from the fund-holders; that, during that period, more than a million of money was taken out of the loans to be given to the church ; and that, in fact, no inconsideroble part of the whole of the loans went into the pockets of these families ; ' and therefore your petitioners will not suppose it possible for your Honourable House to harbour an intention to take even a single shilling from the fund-holders as long as these families shall continue to receive these emoluments. Your Petitioners, therefore, most humbly pray, that your Honourable House will be pleased to pass un Act for causing an efficient Reform in the Commons' House of Parliament, in order - that such Parliament may adopt measures necessary to ef fect the following measures :...-natnely, I. An appropriation of a part of the public property, com monly called church property, to the liquidation of the debt. 2. A reduction of the standing army, including stuff; bar racks, and colleges, to a scale of expense as low as that of the army before the last war. _ 3: A total abolition of all sinecures, pensions, grants, and emoluments, not merited by public service. 4. it sale of the numerous public estates, commonly called Crown hands, and an application of the money towards the liquidation of the debt. An equitable adjustment with regard to the public debt, and also with regard to alI debts and contracts between man anti man. But, while your humble petitioners are aware, that, to Re form the Commons' House and to effect the other purposes of justice and necessity, which they have here most respectfully pointed out, may require a lapse of months, they know, that your Honourable House have the power, and they will not be. lieve that you want the will to afford them itnntediate protec tion against further ruin. They therefore, seeing the pressing nature of their ease—seeing the abject misery th,tt hourly awaits therit, pray that yqur Honourable • House will bo 1. To suspend, by law, for one year, all distraint* for rent, and to cause distraints to be set aside where they have begun. _ • -- 2. To suspend all processes for tithes for the same period. 3. To suspend, for the same period, all promises arising otit of mortgage, bond, annuity, or other contract aftbccing house Or 4. To repeal the whole of the tax on malt, hops, salt, soap, leather, and candles. These measures, so* analfigous l to others taken - byyour Honourable House, under circumstance* far less imperious ;_ these measures so easily adopted, so free from the possibility of inflicting wrong, and at the same time so necessary to relieve your petitioners from the daily alarm in which they live ; so necessary to afford them a hope of escaping from the pains and disgrace of the lowest paupensm and beggary ; to believe that these measures, measure* of bare protection from further wrong and ruin ; to believe that these will be refused to your suff‘ring petitioners, would be to suppose the existence of that c.q/laus ness of heart which your petitioners are far indeed from imput ing to your Honotrable House. Having, then, with the most profound respect, submitted to your llonourable House those which they deem the best means of relieving their distresses, your humble petitioners, though they are satisfied that evils so unusual and of such uncommon magnitude require remedies of a nature extensive and estraer dinary, beg leave to assure your Honourable _Howie, that they venerate the Constitution of their fathers, that they seek fur no change in the form of the Government, that they know how many ages of happiness and glory their country enjoyed under a government of King, Lords, and Commons, that they fer. vently hope that this constitution may descend to their chil dien ' • but that they are fully convinced, that unless the present evils be speedily arrested and effectually cured, a convulsion must come, in which the whole of this ancient and venerable fabric will be crumbled into dus. • And your Petitioner* Will ever pray. Thoth. nEll-StlEttlr 1 , then put the-petition to tile considers 'don of the .fleeting, and it was received by the cheers of about CITY, MoNn tY Evmixt). Mails were this morning received from Holland,. France, and Malta. From the latter place the letters are dated on the 29th November, and they communicate the information that after the let of January all goods, British West or East India Colonies, imported into the , Island front foreign ports, would be subjected to the duties payable on for e i g n . p ro d uce or manufactures, unless acc o m p an i e d hy regular certificates of origin, or some other satisfactory docturient. It may not be generally known that the tariff of duties established by the Au thorities at the free port of Malta, makes a difference, betwixt British and Foreign merchandise, the latter being charged - per tentage or two more than the former. An express arrived this morning, which left Paris on Satur day evening. No political news of any consequence have been received by this conveyance. The Rentes on that day fell . to 8790, but this decline may be probably attributed to the ef fects resulting from the last settlement of time bargains. Here the Console for the settlement this month opened at 81, but were heavy, and closed at 84 The flattering description of the Revenue made no impression on them. It is said that Mr. VANSITTART will be able to remit a million fhrther of uses, but this sum will not be foUnd in any respect equal to the Wants of the people. The dealers in Foreign Stocks did not appeer an the Roy a l Exchange, but confined their operations within the walla. of 'heir new Exchange. The public are consequently not well nformed of the magnitude of the day's transactions, , but they were reported not to have been very extensive. Spanish BOnds of 1821 declined about 1i per cent., occasioned chiefly by the want of news, and partly by ,a rumour that the French Government had detected a private correspondence betwixt some of the Officers of their Army of Observation and the Spanish Government. They were also rendered heavy by a contradiction having been given to the report that Lord V. DENTINCK was about to proceed to Madrid.. The public repose great =Menai in this Nobleman, and wonld he much pleased were be to resume his command in the Mediterranean. At present, however, hais not to be employed. Lord FIT Z. ROY 8034elliSEY., and Lord F. GOWER, sail to-morrow for Babes, on a Special mission to Madrid. In Russia, Prussia, and Neapolitan Bonds, little business has been .done, but their value is firm 3 and any con. eidereble demand would occasion an improvement in their prieee. cAornbian tonal, opened at 70, and declined IA" 904, finally closing at 07. During butt week the supplies of grain In Mark-lone were spurt, occasioned by the severity of the weather. They con listed only of 6377' quartets of wheat, 3551 tparters of barley, 1504 quarters of MU, with 5100 sacks of flour. Needy buyers were consequently obliged to give an advance of Is. to 21. a qr. on what their consumption absolutely required.
