FRANCE. The Dads, in its Boillse article, says : " Sixtpeight thousand out of the 80,000 bonds of the Lyons Railway have been subscribed for, and the com- Nay has, it is said, decided on not negotiating the re- Quilling 12,000, except at the rate of 1,1251. The whole of ale bonds . of the Northern Railway have been taken. These two great companies certainly ought to congra tulate themselves on the success of their operation, and it will probably facilitate the placing of the bends of the other companies. The sums recently demanded from the money market ro estimated at 660 millions, the calla ler which ere divbied over a term of two years. The sums already paid, or to be paid in the present year, amount to about 253 millions." •The Protestant Bible Society of Paris held its general annual meeting on Wednesday, in the Church cf the Redemption, in the Rue Chauchat. Admiral Baudin, the president of the society, was in the chair. From the report read by the secretary, it . appears that a donation of 5,700 Bibles had been received from the Bible Society of New York. The number of Bibles distributed during the year was 8 217, the expense of which amounted to 27,921 f. Seventy-twa Bibles and sixty New Testa mt:nts had also) been distributed by the Ladies' So ciety. Tito financial state of tho society was afte wards miVie known to the members present, and the president,, in pointing out that i showed a deficit, be sought the friends of religion, and all zealous Pro testax,ts, to come forward in its support, and use all their endeavours to increase the number of its sub sej.ibers, which now amounted to only 200. GERMANY. A letter from Berlin, in the _Emancipation of Brussels, states that the Prussian Cabinet has resolved not on any condition to negotiate with Austria on commercial questions before the formal reconstitution of the Zollversin. According to an official return, the debt due by the Austrian Government to the Bank of Vienna, at the end of March last, was 143,000,000 florins, being 70;000,000 florins less than at the end of June, 1651. A recent statistical return states the population of Anitria and her different possessions to be 36,514,4d6. TUE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.)

ANOTHER FRACAS AT WOOLWICH.—We hear that Captain Hawkey, of the .Koyal Marines, who shot Lieut. Seaton, in a duel at Portsmouth, soma few years since, is iiow under arrest; also Lieut. Swaine, of the same corps; From what we learn, it appears that Captain and Mrs. Hawkey ere walking near Charlton, on Mon day last, when they met Lieutenant Swaine, and in consequence of soma observations Lieutenant Swaine made to the lady, Captain Hawkey struck him a severe blow across the lace with a stick. A scuffle ensued, when Captain and Adjutant Campbell, of the Royal Ar tillery, came up, and, after separating the combatahts, placed them both under arrest, and a report of the affair has been forwaided to the Admiralty, who have or dered a court of inquiry to take place immediately.

Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. From the reporta-of the inspectors it appeared that the . owners of estahli:lraents in which annoyance to their neighbourhoods from smoke had been complained or, showed every anxiety to abate the nuisance, and sub mitted that they were willing to adopt any means sug gestni by the Court for preventing it altogether; that they hart made experiments of the methods scientiacally advised, and toll certain extent conquered the evil, but that at intervals it returßesi in a limited degree. The Court gave further directions to the inspectors upon the subject.- SANITARIr MATTERS. In consequence of a misunderstanding which seems to have arisen with respect to the remarks made in the re port of the last week's proceedings in the cases of typhus which have recently occurred at the Field-lane Ragged School, The Officer of llcalth thought it necessary to explain that such cases had occurred, and had, in his opinion, been attributable- to overcrowding. The directors of the school had opened a dormitory for the destitute, and in their desire to extend that charitable relief to as large a number as possible, had at times allowed too many inmates to be received in their establishment. Extreme credit was due to the directors of that charitable institution for the excellence of all their other arrangements. The utmost care was taken for cleanliness and ventilation; and the error of receiving too many inmates had resulted from a do sire to do more good. Ho had been in communication with the authorities of the school, and had suggested some changes, especially in regard to the number to be received in their dormitory, and ho hoped and believed that these would prevent any further e:ttension of the disease which had arisen there. CITY IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. 11mi:wool', the Ciry sewers surveyor, made the following report:— " I beg to report that, having received your directions to construct the sewer and repave the new strew; (Can non-street West), now in course of formation, by the Im provement Committee of the Corporation, I have laid down a section of the new line of street from St. Peer.; Churchyard to Queen-street, for the purpose of determining the clt,rpths and other conditions of the sewage, and also for the purpose of ascertaining if any and what improvements could be made in the surface levels of the new street. As will , be seen by the sec tion I, submit to you, the present surface undulates considerably, there bei ng a lt og ether four summits or high points, and three hollows or valleys, in a length of about 1,20 Q Net; it is, therefore, susceptible of considerable improvement, for although at present these undulations aro not very apparent, owing to the irre gularities in the line of streets, they vt i:1 be most oh. j.lcti.ozably palpable when the whole line from Qeeen street to Saint Paul's can be comprehended at a glance. "Upon the section submitted the red lieu indicates the surface line which appears to me the most expe dient for adoption, as it presents one uniform tall from St. Paul's Churchyard to the centre of Basing lane, having an easy gradient of about 1 to 393, and from Basing-lane to Queen-street, that an uniform fall with a gradient of about 1 in 49; and it is a lice which, if adopted, will not seriously injure the gradi ents. of the collateral streets; and, moreover, it appears to me to be one likely to cause as little inconvenience to the houses upon the northern side of the way, as can reasonably be expected to result from so large a public improvement. _ " THE NEWLY-DISCOVERED CRYPT " It is well known mb h e ' to most of the members . of your ucpotohn ne Honourable Court that beneath one of the se the southern side of Distaff lan e exists a cry pt siderable antiquity. It is so s it uate d t h at osf when house is removed, and the site thrown into the public, way, it will be in the line of the centre of the carriage. way of the new street. Being acquainted with, and tally participating in, the general desire to preserve this interesting relic of past ages, I have well considered the levels for the new line of street, in order to see whether they could be so adjusted as to admit of its preserve tien, without sacrificing the convenience of the public; but it appears to me that it cannot be done without in credible detriment to the new street. The blue lines upon the section indicate the situation end levels of the crypt relatively to the present roadway, and also the surface lines, which it will be requisite to form should it be determined to puriue it. It will be seen that to do se will necessitate the raising of the surface of the ground about four feet, and forming a summit at that point, thus making the roadway from thence to Queen street with the objectionable gradient of about 1 in 33. In fact, the only means by which the crypt can be pre served in situ will be by forming and perpetuating a hill in tha lino of the new street, the eastern slope of which that tion a a of f the v r i l the be very much steeper than the carriage-way of upper end of Ludgate-hill, although not so grew, as - iliaclling , ( e l : y e! end, by increasing the surface incline street, Bread-street, and Bow-lane, and p the ground to form the requisite levels, and ng the ground floors of about thirty houses, at n au l: fot,,,o, eng iron). six inches to four f ee t, beneath the also, to suite - me opinion th a t if th e a lt erat i o ns in level a i td , e ~„ .Lae public ways. / he the view of repair to en gradients above described be adopted, with traffic.

In the year 1840, some eXperiments were instituted in the Glasgow prison on the diet of a selected number of the inmates. The persons were fed on the follow ing fare :—For breakfast, each had eight ounces of oat meal made into a porridge, with a pint of butter-milk; for dinner, three pounds of boiled potatoes with salt; for supper, five ounces of oatmeal porridge, with one half pint of buttermilk. At the end of two months they were all in good health, each person :had gained four pounds weight, and they liked the diet, the cost of which, in eludint; the cooking, was twopence three-farthings per day. Other ton men were fed for the same time solely on boiled potatoes and salt; each had two pounds for breakfast, three pounds for din ner, and c.* pound fur supper. They gained three and a half pounals etch; an d t h e y declared that they pre fern d this fare to the ordinary diet of the prison. Twelve othe rs were f e d on th e same allowance of porridge an 3. milk for breakfast and supper as the first ten; but far dinner they had soup, containing two pounds of pat.i.toes to each, and a quarter of a pound of m,at.

A g rand ncr net giv en oa Friday at the Lon don avern, by a number of the leading tnerceents of the city of London and others, to Sir James Brooke, the Raja of Sarawak, as it testimony of their approba tion of his conduct as ruler of Borneo, end the istands of the Eastern Archipelago. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Crawurd, et tee firm of Colvin, Crawrurd, and Co., East India merchants, supported by Admiral Sir Charlet, Adana, Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, Mr. Baron Al derson, Sir James Law Lushington, Mr. Hankey, Go vernor of the Bank of Eagland ; Mr. Hubbard, Deputy- Governor of the Bank; the Hon. Captain Keppell, Mr. Q.C.; Mr. H. Drummond, M.l'.; ,411.°ta.nIiegeudela,M Chambers, M.P.; Mr. C. A. Christopher, M.P.;Mr. N eet degaie, MX.; Captain D a l rymp l e H ay; M. W. B. B ey i e y, E,I.C; Sir R. Jenkins, E 1.C.; Mr. J. H. Craw ford; Mr. H. T. Prinsep, E.I.C. ; Admiral Sir James Gordon; Rear-Admiral Renton Sharpe; Captain Far quhar; Mr. W. H. Plowdsn, M.P. E.LC.; Mr. J. H. Astell, E LC; Mr. Charles Johnson; Rev. C. IL Bren ton; Mr. Robert Alexander; Mr. J. B. Powle; Mr. R. Twining; Mr. J. Cattloy, and about 240 gentlemen, prix cipaliy connected with large mercantile firma in the city. The dinner, which cemprised every delicacy of the season, was most admirably served; und the wines, being of the moat recherche description, gave universal satisfaction. Upon the removal of the cloth, grace was sung by Mr. Turner, Mr. F. Smith, Mr. Genge, Master Bristow, Master Solar, and the Mitses Wells. The CHAIRMAN then gave the health of " Her which was drunk with all the To this followed th e h ea l t h o f " Hi s R oya l High hMeanjoe.ast honours. the Queen," s nese Prince Albert and the rest of the Royal Family. The CHAIRMAN then gave the " Army and Nevy'.' If there ware anything which would induce them to drink that toast with greater enthusiasm than usual, it was to be found in the fact that their respected guest, Sir James Brooke, had first distinguished himself in the ar my—and had subsequently gained everlasting fame by his services, in conjunction with the sister service.— (Cheers.) He would not further allude to Sir James as his services would come better before them in connexion with another toash—(Cheere.) He would therefore give them the" Army and Navy, coupled with the names of Admiral Sir Charles Adam and Lieutenant-General Sir James Law Lushingtou," who had honoured the meet ing with their company.—(Cheers.) Admiral Sir CHARLES ADAM returned thanks on behalf of the navy, and stated that it was very many years since he had the honour of serving in India ; but he had served there long enough to feel that piracy was a deep stain on the _lndian seas. That piracy had hap pily been put an end to by • their gallant guest, Sir James Brooke.—(Cheers.) Whenever Sir James Brooke had come into contact with the officers of her Majesty's service, they had always acted together with the utmost cordiality ; and though there had been too much bloodshed, he was sure no one regretted that cir cumstance more than Sir Jam e s hirnself.—(Cheers.) At the same time ho (Sir Charles Adam) was bound to any that th ere were no ot h er means of wiping out the blot of piracy from the seas of the Eastern Archipelago than those adopted by his Hon. and Gallant Friend. Lieutenant -General Sir J. L. Lusrterntrron acknow ledged the compliment on behalf of the army, and bore testimony to the gallantry and energy of their honoured guest. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said that they had met for the purpose of manifesting those grateful senti ments which he was sure were generally felt through out the community, and more especially of those per sons engaged in commerce, of the services of their dis tinguished guest, Sir James Brooke.—(Cheers.) He was sure the gentlemen present were aware how far Sir James Brooke had promoted the moral influence of this country, the extension of her commerce, end the catise of civilization, and would allow him to convey to that gentleman, as an answer to the calumnious charges brought against him, their verdict of acquittal.—(Loud cheers.) He felt that Sir James had been most unfairly and ungen erous l y treate d by some persons in this coun try, who had enueavoured to detract from his high cha racter for honour and integrity. When, however, he looked around the table—when he looked at the list of gentlemen present, comprising, as it did, a number of Members of Parliament, and others he knew would have been present but for the important business that evening before the House of Commons —when he saw present a number of military and naval officers of the highest re putation —some of the highest ornaments of the bench and the bar — a nu m ber of gentlemen connected with handtha that distinguished tale iltheedf a corporationlarge empire em (the East Indiawhich had withi n it s Company)—therepreaentatives of a corporation of equal character and standing (the Bank of England), and the leading merchants of the city of London—he thought no better testimony could be borne to the character for honour and integrity of Sir James Brooke —(Cheers)—and that no _better answer could be given to the attacks upon him of interested persons, or of those morbid grievance-mongers, who, relying upon the in formation of others, were always ready to lend them selves to attack the character and reputation of public men.—(Cheers.) It was to be deplored that parties were to be found in the House of Commons to bring under the notice of that House the conduct of officers like Sir James, having difficult and arduous duties abroad, when they had no opportunity of defending themselves. He did not complain of the conduct of public men being brought under the notice of the House, but he did cora plain of Hon. Members lending themselves to the grati fication of the private animosities of others, by bringing forward attacks upon men who were devoting them selves to the utmost to promote the honour of their country and the good of the public.—(Cheers.) He would not carry them through the personal career of Sir James 13rocke from the time when he left this Jam es h ad been actuate d by collo it Lry in 1838; bat he found in the pages of the works of the lion. C a pe Keppel, and other 'officers who had shared dangers a n d honoure, sufficient to wi t c h o nSviir J. Brook n ohim the most honourable a n d disinterest e d mo tives through out his extraordinary career.—(Che ers .) H a did not with particularly to allude to t h e extraordinary influence c t h i n, t lass s enjoyed by Sir James Brooke in that part of the world in which he had cast his lot to servo, but he felt that the time would come when the most important advan tages would accrue to tho commerce and influence of England, from her connexion with that part of the world.—(Cheer s. ) l i c f"it that Sir James Brooke had acted with the utmost judgment and prudence in all his transactions in Borneo, and that he had been compelled to adopt the course he had pursued, from the extraordi naryia which he position was placed.—(Cheers.) He held in his hand a letter from a naval officer, fully con firming his opinion of Sir James. That officer had been lately eng aged in surveying one of the islands of the Eastern Archipelago, with Only six hands, when he was suddenly confronted by as many armed Malays. Upon the officer telling their chief th at they were Englishmen, he asked him if they knew Mr.. Brooke, and upon his reply ing in the affirmative, said that " Brooke is very good," and placed his arm upon the shoulder of the officer, to evince that he and his men were in perfect safety. That showed them the influence obtained by Sir James Brooke, who had thus ma d e the English name honoured and respected, and asked them if they would be dis charging their duty, if they allowed the character of su ch a men to be sacrificed at the shrine of a few dis appointed individual3.—(Cheers.) If they wanted any further testimony in favour of the character of Sir James, it would be found in the excellent letter of the Bishop of Calcutta to the Church Missionary Society, which bad been read in the House of Commons by the Hon. Member for Newcastle. In whatever position Sir James might in future be placed—whether as the indo pendeut ruler of Borneo, or as her Majesty's represen tative in the government of the islends, ho felt that they were hound, as British merchants, to express their ap proval of that gentleman ' s conduct, and their sense of his honour and integrity._ (Cheers.) He did not wish to say anything harsh of those Members of the House of Commons who had taken part against their Hon. and Gallant Friend, but it had given hi m great pleasure to have the opportunity of attending in the House, and voting against the proposed inuir into his conduct ,— (Cheers.) lie had no w great pleasure in proposing the health of Sir James Brooks, With long lite and pros perity to him.—(Cheers.) Sir JAMES BlteeEE r ° B3 to return thanks amidst loud cheers, w hich lasted 80030 minutes. When s il ence w as somewhat restored, Sir Jame, proceeded to address the company, and stated that if anything could enhance the pleasure with which h e regarded the manifestation of feeling with which he had just been honoured, it would be found in the manner in which their respected chairman had been t pleased to propose his h ealth. He did not pretend to be possessed of that sp ecies of p ride w hich aped 133;— ItY—he would not h umble himself that they might exalt him—he would not say that he felt utterly uuworthy of their regard; but he ven tured to believe that there was something in his own feelings and position that was honourable to English men.—(Cheers.) ' "nee f lv sensible as he was of the ex pression of opinion 01- -- au P c. a meeting as that, he could not out feel that it Was the more important and valuable, because they had looked at and considered his public history and conduct as they affected the interests of this country and Loud cheers); and of civilisation -- ( Loud it was a proof to hi m , if anything were wanted to convince him of th e fact, that truth and justice would always P re vail over any slanderous attacks which might be made against the character of an hon est p ublic man. —(Cheers.) The approval by the gentlemen present of his conduct was no light condemnatio n of those who had sought, by slanderous misrepresenta tions, to blast his reputation, and in set doing bad injured their own.— (Cheers.) was but little more than four years since that he was the idol of a epurions popularity, and for more than three years ho had been the object, happily not the victim, of Misre resenta tion, and it was satis factory to hi m that ni ht to find t hat his conduct was so approved by large and intelligent a body of the mer chants of London. He had had both praise and blame lavished upon hinievith ne sparing hand, and he had been accused of every crime from murder to merchandise, — (Cheers and laughter.) H e had been held up es a prodigy of perf ect i on, en d cast risen as a monster of iniquity.—(Ch eers and 1 e.ugh te r.) Such were the extremes psopl© delighted in. hackneyed peliticians had -used their best e xert i ons to cast as lur upon his character, but their efforts to tamper with hie charac ter and p ublic t , ' morals had Lun likewater to the lowest and dirtiest level.—(Cheers.) Ile regretted the course that had been pursued, and that Members of Parliament should be found to act as the scavengers to the vi Ts of others, or to - become the cesspool of every foul and vile slander that could b e i nvented.—( C heer s.) 'geared tha t Ile no t the House of Commons should be made the vehicle of bringing forward such charges year after year—that men should be found's° ignorant of all that took place as to demand an inquiry into matters patent to all the world—that the deadly enemies of a man could bo al , lowed to pervert all tee principles of justice which de clared that trial should precede condemnation—(Cheers) —and even of that commandment of sod, " Thou shills not I. e e. false vatnese ag s'nst thy ta igheour."—(Chi- ere) There were semi-, 1.13' ai who fel,. it te be, by a species sir morel obl•qui7y, their duty to filch their neighbour's purse, snd canere who felt it tie it dory to filch their tieiehbour's good name—(Cheers)—but such they could no, sympathy, with, neor he eould re,t envy the feelines of such men —(Cheers.) He had spoken some- . vvast eirongly, because he felt strongly, relative to the attacks which had been made upon hone--!hough he had long remained silent under them. Now, then, with re gard to his reside') in Borneo. Threes who said that when he sailed for Borneo, ho carried with him a deep laid design of patting down piracy, and civilizing that portion of the world, gave him possession for foresight and determination which he did not possess—end if he denied the !statement, :t was simply because it was not true.—(Cheers.) When ho left England, it was merely with the view of seeing the world, and then coining buck again; and he found a most extraordinary position of events in Sarawak, and he took charge of a country which the native rulers could no longer govern. He had then everything to learn—he was a reformer in the most extended souse of the word; but he felt that in every country, properly to carry out reform, they roast respect vested interest:. lie found, therefore, that he had to govern a country the expenses of which were far be yond the resources. He had to lot bid the native princes plundering the people, and to pay them himself to prevent them doing so—to psy for the first two years for the sup• port of a starving people, and to foster the glimmer ing of trade.—(Cheers.) He found a principle of unary existing, by which no less than 24 per cent. per mouth was charged for small loans—(fli ar, hear)—and this he had to put an end to by paying off the sums originally burrowed. They would pardon him for mentioning it, but all this he did from his private fortune, as was proved by melancholy tables of stock transferred and securities sold to the amount of more than 20,0001., to support an infant Government and aid a suffering people.—(Loud cheers.) He had been accused of buying up the pro duce of the country, and if he did so to aid his revenue and increase a limited fortune, he had but followed the exempla of the gentlemen present in becoming a British merchant—a character which he felt to be honourable to every man.—(Cheers.) If he had suffered from that it was because there were insolvents in the city of Linden who were represented to him as great capitalists, and who had relieved him of 10,0001. worth of property which he could have spent to a better purpose.—(Cheers and laughter.) He was relieved of that property long before he bad the honour to hold an appointment under her Majests's Government, and if he was now only in possession of honest poverty, he thought it could not well be said in what he had done he had acted from personal motives.—(Cheers,) In spite of all he had been able to do, and all that had been said, ho re gretted to state that Sarzwak boasted of a national debt —not quite so large as that relative to which the Chan cellor of the Exchequer of England was then giving en explanation; but large enough to be both burdensome and inconvenient.—(Cheers and laughter.) He had hitherto refrained from placing taxes on the shoulders of a rude and impoverished people—he had resisted the wishes of others to do so, feeling that confidenee in a Government must precede taxation, and he hoped that the time would yet come when, feeling that they en joyed the blessings of good government, the people would be ready to impose taxes upon themselves.— (Cheers.) At all events, it was not his nature to covet or take the earnings from the peasant's hand, even if his skin was different to his own.—(Cheers.) The sub ject of piracy was a most difficult one, and one which bad given him more trouble than any other. He found that the inhabitants of Sarebas and Sekerran, er, in other words, the Malays and the Dyaks, were in the habit of making piratical attacks noon the peaceable inhabitants, carrying off their property, and destroying everything upon which they could lay their hands, and he determined that the peaceable inhabitants must be protected. Supposing there were hordes of bandits continually making invasions on their coasts from Brest and Cherbourg, carrying off their wives and children into slavery, and destroying their property, what would they do?- If they could nut make the deal adders listen to reason, h© did not believe there was a man to be found who would see his daughters disho noured and his sons murdered—who would submit to the indignity, and go about proclaiming to the world their coleardice and shame amongst men—he did not be lieve there was a man to be found from one end of Eng land to the other who would not rise and determine by fence to put down the marauders...-(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Had not the natives of Borneo—the peace able and industrious natives—suffered from these pirates, and what bad been done was to sweep the seas of these pirates, and make the law honoured and respected, by showing that it could protect the innocent, and was powerful against the guilty.—(Loud cheers.) As at home, if the smuggler resisted the law, shot and shell did the weak of pulling him down; and if a felon attempted to escape from a policeman a tap on the head made him quiet—(Laughter) —so, in Borneo, if the pirates would not be quiet otherwise, they were made to be so.—(Cheers.) lie could not sit down without seizing the opportunity of expressing his sense of the constant and generous support which he had received from the Noble Lord lately at the head of the Foreign office (Lord Pelmerstou) through all his trials and diffi culties—(Cheers)—and he should be wanting in grati tude if he did not publicly return thanks to his Hon. Friend the Member for West Surrey, to the Hon. Member for Newcastle, and his many other friends, for the disin terested and kind manner in which they had advocated his cause, and which left him under a debt of gratitude to them, which he should never forget, though he could never repay.—(Cheers) The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to argue that Borneo and the adjacent islands must become most valuable in a commercial point of view, and to express his sincere hopes that England would never allow any other country to step in and reap the advantages which they , ought, and might, uuder proper Government, enjoy. He also returned thanks to the many Gallant Naval Officers -with whom he had the honour to serve, and who had asssisted in clearing the seas of the East ern Archipelago of the hordes of pirates which long disgraced them. He begged again meet heartily to thank them for the honour they had con ferred upon him, and to assure them that he would [livings cheerfully endea vour to promote the best interests of British commerce, whether it should be his lot to spend the remainder of his days in the transaction of public duties, or sink into private life in the deep solitude of a Born o e r anexisience. f —(Cheers). He begged the m, not only himself, b u t uttered for others, not to give ear to slanders against a public man at a distance , and assured them that th e kindness be had that night r w ece i l e v h ed fherohmad ffthseuermheati: a applied a remedy to wrong which which would henceforth be o bliterated from his mi n d .

THE COUN'ritV MA it,K RTs , LIVERPOOL, MAY I.— The position of the trade is much the same to-day as yesterday. MANCHESTER, MAY I. A change of wind ha , brought a large supply of American flour into L.verpool, and also fair quantities of foreign wheat, beans, and Indian corn ; but from Ireland and our own coast the arrivals are very light. At our market this morning a somewhat languid feeling prevailed, and wheat merely supported the currency of this day e'nnight. Fresh made flour being in scanty supply was held firmly for an advance of 6d per sack, in accordance with which we raise our quotations. In the value of oats, oatmeal, or beans, no change can be noted, these articles having nearly lost the im proved tone they experienced during the week. NOTTINGHAM, MAY 1 , - Yesterday, at Derby the trade in wheat was languid, at is a qr. advance. In other grains there was no change of price. Wheat red, 42s to 4;s ; ditto, white, 4is to 48s per 36 stone ; barley, for malting, 28s to 32s ; ditto, for grinding, 28s to 30s per ,0 stone; oats, old 2ls to 24s per 24 stone ; beans, old. 39s to 40s per 3:- stone ; flour, 29s to 31s ; super, 33s to 34s per 20 stone. Quotations at other local markets show that the advance of Is a qr. upon wheat was pretty nearly general. We had a good supply of wheat at our own market to-day, but the demand being limited, last week's prices only were maintained. In barley there is but little doing. A fair show of oats and beans; we note no alte ration in the value of either. The present prices of grain and flour in Nottingham are as follows!—Wheat, old white, 46s to 49s per 36 stone ; new ditto,,,42s. to 48s; ditto, red, 38s to 425. Barley, for malting, 27s to 318 per quarter; for grind ing, 26s to 275. Oats, 20s to 23s per 24 stone. Beans, old 34s to 3 's per 3 4 stone; new, ditio, 30s to 33s ; Egyptian, 30s to 31s. Flour, superfie, 30s to 35s per 20 stone ; fine 28s to 295. WORCESTER, MAY I.—Our market to-day was hardly so firm as has been reported for the last fortnight English white wheat is worth 15s to 16s per bag, and red 14s to 15s. Barley remains about the same as last week; malting qualities from 3s 6d to 3s 8d per bushel, and distilling 3s to 3s 4d. New English beans 4s, and old 4. t,d to 4s 8d per bushel ; foreign, 3s 6d to 3s 10d. Old English Oats are worth 3s 6d to 3) 9d per bushel ; and new, 2s 10d to 3s 4d • Irish, 2s 6d to 3s. etches 4s to 4s 6d per b us h e l . Peas. white, 3s 8d to 4s per bushel, and gray. 3s 6d to 3s 10d per bushel. At Stourbridge market on Friday business was brisk, and an advance of Is p r quarter was obtained or wheat. Barley was also firm and in fair reque.t. Oats, beans, and peas retained former rates. Vetches and clover seed dull of sale. At Strad°, d on- Avon market on Friday the improvement in the weather had the effect of reducing the value of wheat about 6d per quarter. Wheat averaged about 2/ Os 6d per imperial quarter. Otner grain about the same as before. Barley averaged 27s 3d per quarter. Beans 1/ 93 4d per quarter. At Wolverhampton the supply of wheat was small, and both farmers and millers asked higher rates. White wheat was worth Is per quarter more money, 5s 6d to 55 8d being the currenu rates per 6 Ab. Malting barley a fair sale at last week's rates, 27s to 30s per quarter. Oats and beans firm, the former 21s to 23s per 3121 b,, and the latter 13s 6d to 14s 6d per 1961 b for old, and 12s to 128 6,1 per 1961 b -for new. Kidderminster market was well supplied,. and prices ad vanced 6d per quarter on wheat; little business was done at this advance. Little doing in other grain. At Ipswich`wheat and most other articles were 6d to Is per quarter higher. At Bury there was a good show of corn, particularly of wheat, and there bei ng a great demand for superior samples of white, thii description was quoted Is higher. At Woodbridge there was a good show of fine wheat; prices were unaltered, except for oats and beans. At Hatleigh wheat was 6d to is dearer. At Stowmarket the supply was small,' and prices were firm, except for barley, which was cheaper. On Thu rs d ay, at B i shop ' s Stortford, wheat was Is more; oats were also 6d higher. of th e th ree pr i ces of w h eat were 1 8st 121 b, 161 t DALKICITH, APRIL 29.—The relative weight perlfbo,uranbdusih7e st lb herds 19st 0 , s b, 131 b.

At our market ; to-(lay the numbers were oxen. 710 ; sheep, 921 ; lambs 101. The market was well supplied with good cattle. Sales very brisk, with an ue , and tendency. Best ox beef 465, current 4 , 15, inferior 36s to 40s; all sold. The sale of sheep was very slowly effected. Best mutton 54d., current 5d., middling 40 ; all sold. Lambs varied in prices from 16s. to 265. CORK, API:IL We have had considerable activity in the trade during the week, and a fur her advance on the coarser descriptions of grain. Th,s has been produced partly by the improved ad vices from the English side, partly by the absence of arrivals of consequence, and partly by the steady consumption going on in the country districts. The foreign arrivals, as we have heard, are few. The rece pts of home grain, also, are very small, the supply for the week being only wheat, 8) brls., at lbs 6d to 20s 9d per brl ; barley, 706 brls., at Ils 8d to 1 s tid per brl.; oa , s, 1,379 brls., at I , )s to Ils 6d per brl. The value °leach description of grain is fully maintained. In prime foreign wheat we have had a good business passing at fully the rates of last week. Egyptian and inferior descriptions con tinue in much demand, and holders obtain readily an advance of 6d per barrel on the former. Barley remains unchanged in value, Some extensive sales of oats have takes place during the week at an advance of 6d per barrel on late prices• We quote the value of black, lls to lls 3d, of white, 'is 6d to lls ed per barrel. The demand for fine flour is less active this week, but there is a steady consumrive sale for the ar ticle at late prices. Coarse descriptions continue in good de mand, and meet a ready sale. A considerable business has been done and ex•ensive sales have been made in Indian corn, at an advance of 5s per ton on the prices named in our last.
