FRANCE. General M'Mahon quitted Constantine, May 9, with an army of 10,000 men, to undertake an expedi tion against Kabylia. Galignani announces the death of the Hon. Lady Airey, widow of the late General Sir George Airey, &c., and sister of the late Lord Talbot de Malahide. Her ladyship had been for many years a resident in Paris, where she was much respected. Letters from Saint Francisco, of 4th April, state that all the emigrants sent out by the Lottery of the Ingots of Gold had succeeded in obtaining employ ment on favourable conditions. The total amount of the first day's sale of the Soult collection of pictures was 973,739 francs. The court-martial of the 10t.h division has just commenced at Montpellier the trial of several pri soners charged with having been engaged in the in surrection at Bedarieux, and in the murder of three gendarmes. This case is the most serious that has been brought before the military tribunal, and it shows, in a remarkable degree, the preparations that had been made by the Socialist party for a general demonstration, and the horrible consequences that would have resulted from it if it had been successful. The indictment reveals circumstances of such atro city, that if they were not founded on the most posi tive evidence they might be considered incredible. A striking fact has been revealed in connexion with this affair. It appears that long before Decem ber, two or three of the inhabitants of Bedarieux, aware of the extent to which Socialism had spread, and of the danger that threatened, had proposed that an application should be made for an increased armed force, and that a subscription should be entered into to defray the expense of it. Only five persons could be induced to sign this appli cation. This was not because the respectable inha bitants hesitated to make a pecuniary sacrifice, but because they dreaded putting their names to a paper which, in . the event of the triumph of Socialism, might have exposed them to destruction. The Prince-President of the Republic has just sent the decoration of the Legion of Honour to a cure named Henrich, residing in the parish of Kostheins, near Mentz. It appears that this parish had suffered exceedingly in 1808 from the ravages of war, and that on a representation to that effect being made to the Emperor Napoleon, he contributed generously to the wants of the inhabitants, and, in addi tion, freed them from taxes for a period of fifteen years. When, in 1821, the news of the Emperor's death arrived in France, the cure Henrich sponta neously assembled his parishioners, and celebrated with them a funeral ceremony in honour of their benefactor. The Grand Duke of Hesse, hearing at the time of this act, directed M. Aull, President of the Tribunal of Darmstadt, to express to the cure how much his conduct pleased him. It is for this conduct that the President of the Republic has now sent to M. Henrich the cross of the Legion of Honour. Accounts have been received from the penal settle ment of Lambessa. At first some acts of indiscipline had taken place, but they were promptly repressed. The agricultural labours of the colony occupied the mass of the convicts, the remainder being occupied with the construction of buildings. The church had been completely finished, and the cure of Bathna officiated in it regularly. LONDON, MONDAY The COURT granted the rule. G. Ripon, Exeter, tailor. G.

WAGNER. Mr. BETHELL (in continuation from our Afternoon E iition)—The Wagners denied that the letter of Dr. Bacher of the 10th of March contained any mention of his having the money ready to pay to them. It had been, unfortunately, found impossible to produce that letter—its loss had been one of the grew at difficulties they had had to contend with. The Lon') CHANCELLOR—The letter ought certainly to have been produced, as the defendant denied that it con tained what it was sworn to have contained. I must certainly take it against those who do not produce it. Here is a case where the parties are contradicting each other in the flattest way, the Wagners, in fact, charging Dr. Bacher with perjury. On that part of the case, there fore, I cannot satisfactorily make up my mind; but when I look at the documents, which cannot deceive, the com munications which passed between the parties, those I find against you. Not a word is said in the answsr to Lumley about the money, and if Dr. Bacher had not offered to pay the money, Mr. Lumley ought to have been informed of it. Besides, it appears that Madlle. Wagner, by her labours at Berlin, had rendered her- self unable to perform her contract. She was not in a fit state to sing. _ _ _ Mr. BETHELL said he scarcely thought the affidavit went to that extent. Leaving that part of the case, the Learned Counsel then proceeded to argue that the con tract had been unfairly obtained by Dr. Bacher. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Da you accuse him of fraud or misrepresentation? Mr. BETHELL—Of misrepresentation—of obtaining the contract by stating facts n , ,t true. The LORD CHANCELLOR—That is fraud, Mr. Bethell. Mr. BETHELL—SO it is, my Lord, in a certain sense. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I think it is fraud in every body's sense. BETHELL—It was evident, however, from the affi davits that the Wagners were only induced to sign the engagement by the inducements held out by Dr. Bacher. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I think the letters are against you, Mr. Bethel!. While they complain of the restrictive clause, they at the same time acquiesce in it, and all that Dr. Bacher seems to have said was, that when she got to London she should do as she liked— certainly a very large promise. Mr. BETllELL_Certainly that acquiescence had been caused by the misrepresentation of Dr. Bacher. In conclusion, he relied for obtaining a disohnrge of their order on the inappropriate and unwarranted application of the jurisdiction of the Court by way of injunction. He also relied, though less strongly since hearing the remarks which had fallen from his Lordship, that it was the undoubted duty of Mr. Lumley to have taken care that the sum was for warded to the Wagners in confor mity with the original contract, and on the uncontradicted fact that the money was not forthcoming till the 15th of April. He would leave the case in this position in the hands of the Court, being perfectly satisfied that his Lordship, if he placed himself in the same po sition as Miss Wagner when she made the en gagement with Mr. Gye, with the season advancing, no money forthcoming from Mr. Lumley, and no news of him, that she was perfectly justified in treating the contract she had made with him as at an end, and in entering into a new one more beneficial to herself. It being now close upon three o'clock, his Lordship rose to attend a Cabinet Council, and the further heating of the cause was postponed until Wednesday. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 22. (Sittings in Banco,) The judges who took their seats o❑ the bench in the full court for this term. were Lord Campbell, Mr. Jus tice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Crompton. THE QUEEN V. SILL. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS applied on the part of the de fendant for a certiorari to remove the indictment i n thi s case into this court. This was an indictment against the defendant for compounding a misdemeanour, which mis demeanour was the charge made by the present defend ant against certain persons for cheating at cards at Brighton. The applicant stated that there was no ground for the present indictment, which had only, as he believed, been preferred in order to prevent the other indictment from coming on. He alleged that an appli cation had been made to the magistrate at Marlborough street for a warrant, but had been refused; that an ap plication for a summons had also been made, and refused; and that then this bill had been preferred at the Central Criminal Court; that on the 7th of May the order for the certiorari was obtained; and on the 1 Ith the bail on the certiorari perfected; but that on the 10th, when the parties were perfectly aware of the certiorari and the proceedings thereon, he bad b een un l aw f u lly conve y e d from the Qaeen's Prison to Newgate. He alleged the proceedings against him to have been vexatious, and he swore that he wished to have the benefit of a and to have - - Quen's counsel to conduce his eci a i defence.jury, RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. A special meeting of this company was held on Satur day, at the Euston-station, Euston-square, for the pur pose of considering and approving, or otherwise, a Bill, now before Parliament, to enable the Chester and Holy head Railway Company to extend their railway to Birkenhead, and to amend the Acts relating to the com pany; and also for the purpose of considering and ap proving, or otherwise, an agreement for the working of the railways of the Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire Junction Railway Company by the London and North- Western Company; Mr. G. C. Glyn, M.P., in the chair. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, it was agreed to postpone the consideration of the Bill until June 2. The CHAIRMAN said the most important business of the day was the consideration of the agreement with the Birkenhead and Cheshire Junction Company. The object of the agreement was to obviate the necessity of constructing the proposed new line from Chester to Birkenhead, and upon its being confirmed by the proprietors of both companies they would be in a position to withdraw the Bill. The directors had no wish to call on the proprietors of this company to subscribe more money for new lines. He thought, under the circumstances, that it was better for all parties to make good working agreements than to resort to the expedient of constructing competing lines, involv ing considerable expenditure of capital. An Hon. Proprietor, who was not then present, had found fault with the board of directors for the policy they had pur sued with regard to the Birkenhead line. He (the Chair man) had not the record then before him of negotiations between the two companies respecting the Birkenhead traffic, but he could state that in 1845 attempts to make arrangements for amalgamation with the Chester and Holyhead bad been made, and that down to the 11th of September last there had not:been one half-year during that period in which some attempt at negotiation with the Birkenhead Company had not been made. On the 11th of September last these negotiations ceased. There was an agreement existing between the Shrewsbury and Chester and the Cheshire Junction Company, with which they had nothing to do. The Cheshire Junction directors had explained this at the time they entered into the present arrangements with the company, which were now finally settled. The terms were mutually advantageous to both companies. He held that no agreement would be binding unless it were mutually advantageous to the contracting parties. The London and North-Western Company secured to the Birkenhead Company the most economical working of their lice. It was a fsir ar rangement between the two companies, They were Livergpad given them good s stations of 000tlo Birkenhead.ith awarethatithad been contended that the Lond on and North-Wester n C ompany ought to con fi ne themselves to Liverpool, and n ot The company had furnishedaccommodation for their tr a ffi c they h the most compl ete description; but having done that, the wthe best company w as no more obliged to stop at Liverpool than at any other place. The trade of Liverpool was not to be fostered by a railway company. Liverpool was ex tending so much in almost every direction that it would at no distant day swallow up Birkenhead, the exten sion of trade at that port would find its vent at the other side of the Mersey, and under these cir cumstances he would ask why were they not to cultivate the traffic of Birkenhead as well as that of Liverpool? The traffic was increasing to such an extent at Liver pool that they could not accommodate it. They must call upon Birkenhead for assistance. The company must also look to their connexion with Manchester, and the importance of providing the requisite facilities for trade between that place and Birkenhead. The Londoa and N orth - Western Company have more power to de velop the trade of Birkenhead than any other party. He wholly denied that they were bound to go no further than Liverpool. They had the opportunity of sending a large traffic from the Chester and Holyhead line on to the Birkenhead and Cheshire Junction line, and to make the latter profitable by working it on the same advan tageous terms as the London and North-Western Com pany worked their traffic. It would prove a beneficial arrangement in every respect. They were at the same time perfectly aware that in consequence of a vicious system of legislation, other parties had powers granted them to run over the Birkenhead line, but ho bad no doubt they w ou ld b e ena bl e d to avo id ser i ou s conse quences by judicious arrangements (Cheers.)

The New Prussian Gazette has the following un der the head of Potidam, the 17th :—" When the Emperor of Russia, the King and the Princes ar rived at the Palace, the officers of the garrison mani fested the greatest enthusiasm. The Emperor ap peared on the balcony, accompanied by the King and the Princes, and a numerous suite. His Majesty then descended, and went into the midst of the officers, to whom he said—' It is a great pleasure to me again to see you ; you know my sentiments, and that I have always been your faithful comrade. My heart has been with you in difficult times. (In saying these words the Czar shook hands with Count Blumenthal, the Colonel of the Ist Regiment of Guards.) You have always been faithful ; I am to you un changed (der alto zu den alten). We will always re main friends, and assist each other as friends. Do you desire this ?' The officers, who had formed them selves into a circle, replied with loud and enthu siastic cries of Yes !' The Emperor then, after addressing some kind words to some of the colonels, said to General Macerendo, as he was about to retire, Thus we shall always be the same good friends and faithful comrades.' A loud hurrah was then set up, and continued until the Emperor re-entered the Palace." The Emperor had made liberal presents to different classes of persons. To the workmen on the railroad between Weimar and Berlin he gave 120 ducats (about 1,400 f.), besides handsome presents to the engineers, clerks, &c. THE LONDON GAZETTE, May 21. DIVIDENDS.

EVENING, MAY 24, 1852. gross receipts on such railways the preceding half-year, a proportionate allowance to be made to the London and North-Western Company on account of the traffic carried over the lines of the Birkenhead Company by other parties; the property and plant of the Birkenhead Company to be valued and restored at the termination of the agreement of the same working value; the line between Cheater and Birkenhead to be put into an efficient state of repair by the Birkenhead Company; nothing in the proposed agreement to affect or prejudice the powers, rights, and privileges of the Shrewsbury and Chester Company con tamned in that company's Act passed in 1851. The agreement contains the usual provisions for referring differences to arbitration. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a resolution approv ing of the agreement was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adjournment of the meeting to the 2d of June, said they would perceive by the papers that an application had been made—he could not say by their opponents—for an injunction to the Court of Chancery to restrain the Birkenhead Company from completing the arrangement with this company; and although an injunction should be granted, they were not to suppose that the matter was at an end, as it was only one of the preliminary steps; and as to the result of the proceedings in Chancery the directors entertained no fears whatever. The motion was carried, and the proceedings con• eluded with a ♦ote of thanks to the Chairman. BIRKENHEAD, LANCASHIRE, AND CHESHIRE JUNCTION. The adjourned special meeting of this company was held on Friday at Birkenhead, for the purpose of taking into consideration the Bill now before Parliament for amending the provisions of the several Acts relating to the company, &c., and for approving, or otherwise, of an agreement for working the railways of this com pany by the London and North-Western Railway Company. Mr. Bancroft in the chair. The CHAIRMAN detailed the proceedings anterior to the last special meeting, which had resulted in the with drawal of this company altogether from the alliance with the Great Western Railway Company. Since then the directors had entered into negotiations with the London and North-Western, which resulted in an agreement : under it the Birkenhead Company was secured the whole traffic passing along any railway from Shrews. bury and the north-west, inclusive of the Holyhead system of railway from Birkenhead and the whole traffic from Chester and Manchester. The SECRETARY read the agreement, which was for a term of 99 years, the London and North-Western Company to work and manage the traffic over the lines of the Birkenhead Railway Company, handing over to the Birkenhead Company the whole of the receipts from their own line, leas the amount of the cost of traffic. The CHAIRMAN having moved the adoption of the agreement, A long discussion ensued, in which Mr. Harper, Mr. Gibb, Mr. Saunders (of the Great Western Company), Mr. R. King, and Mr. Cotteral took part. The CHAIRMAN moved the adjournment of the meet ing to the 29th inst. Mr. HARPER opposed the adjournment. The meeting had not concluded when our report left, BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION.

LAUNCH OF THE AGAMEMNON. WOOLWICH, MAY 22.—This fine screw steam-ship, of 90 guns and 600- horse power, having been announced as ready to be launched shortly before high water here this day, carriages began to arrive as early as 12 o'clock. The 11 o'clock train of the North Kent Railway brought down a considerable number of visitors, the steam-boats to Woolwich were well filled, and soon after great numbers of persons arrived by the North W oo l w i ch Railway and took up their position on the Essex side of the Thames, opposite the dockyard, where they would have an excellent view of the vessel as she entered the water. The crowds who rushed to the London-b r id ge terminus of the North Kent Railway after 12 o' c l oc k rendered it ne-essary to pat on long special trains a t very abort intervals; and it is gratifying to state that although the number of passengers was far beyond what might have been anticipated, not the slightest accident occurred at the railways nor in any other quarter to mar the general satis)action of the spectators, of whom there could not have been less than from 90,000 to 100,000 present. There were upwards of 1,000 persons on board the Agamemnon when launched, including the band of the Royal Dockyard Battalion, the pensioners who had served in the old Aga memnon, and more than 500 admitted by cards, tesides the riggers and others under Mr. M`Donald, Master- Attendant, who had the charge of bringing the vessel to her moorings when afloat. At half past 2 the Disko of Northumberland, First Lord of the Admiralty, with the Duchoss of Northum berland, the Earl of Hardwicke, the Earl of Wilton, Lord Grosvenor, Lord Ellesmere, and a number of the nobility arrived. Mr. Augustus Stafford, Secretary at the Admiralty; Captain W. A. B. Hamilton, Second- Secretary; and Captain Pelham, Private Secretary to the First Lord, left the residence of Commodore Henry Eden, with Mrs. Eden, and proceeded to the bow of the Agamemnon, where a bottle of 'wine was uncorked, and Mrs. Eden drank success to the Agamemnon. The bottle with the remainder of the wine was then suspended and broken on the bow of the vessel in the usual manner by Mrs. Eden, who named her the Agamemnon. The shipwrights, under Mr. Lang's direction, i mme di ate l y a f ter commence d driving out the blo c k s f rom un d er t h e vesse l , an d at 7 minutes past 3 o'clock the Agamemnon began to move slowly, and as she progressed gradually quickened her pace, and entered her future element amidst the cheers of the assembled thousands in the dockyard, on the river, and on the opposite bank of the Thames, the band of the Royal Marines on the platform and the band of the Dockyard battalion on board playing " Rule Bri tannia" and "God save the Queen." The Agamemnon wa s b u il t very rap idl y, h er k ee l having only been laid down in December, 1849. Her engines, of 600-horse power, are to be fitted by John Penn and Son, on their patent trunk-engine principle, and are of the same description, but double the number of horse power, as those fitted by the same firm in her Majesty's steam-frigates Arrogant and Encounter. Al though the order for the machinery of the Agamemnon was given only in September last, the works are already sufficiently forward to begin to fix them on board, and a boiler will be alongside by the time the ship is taken into the basin. The whole of the machinery and boilers will be considerably under the water-line, the depth in the engine -room being 24 feet 6 inches. COURT-MARTIAL' ON CAPTAIN HA WEE Y. WOOLWICH, MAY 22.—The court-martial held on Captain Charles Moorehead Hawkey, of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, having concluded its sittings, and the finding and sentence of the court having been confirmed by the Lords of the Admiralty, we are now permitted to promulgate them. The following is the charge on which Captain Henry Charles Moorehead Hawkey was tried by a court-mar tial, of which Colonel George Batt Bury, Royal Ma rines, was president : " For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having, on the 26th day of April, 1852, in the public road between Woolwich and Charl ton, i❑ the county of Kent, violently assaulted and struck First Lieutenant Henry Thomas Swain, of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, such conduct being in breach of the Articles of War." The evidence for the prosecution occupied the court one day, and for the defence two days, and extended to a great length, and is of such a nature that it would not be justice to either party to give an abstract only of it. The following is the finding and sentence of the court:— " FINDING, " The Court having maturely weighed and consi dered the evidence in support of the prosecution, toge ther with what the prisoner has urged in his defence, and the evidence in support of it; taking also into con sideration the great and lung continued provocation he has received, and the very peculiar nature of that pro vocation; is of opinion that he, the prisoner, Captain Henry Charles Moorehead Hawkey, of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, is guilty of having violently assaulted First Lieutenant Swain, of the Woolwich divi sion of Royal Marines at the, time, and place stated in the charge, but that he is not guilty of conduct unbe coming the character of an officer and a gentleman, and the Court therefore most fully and honourably ac quit him of that part of the charge," " SENTENCE. " The Court having found the prisoner Guilty of part of the charge preferred against him, which being in breach of the Articles of War, and taking into con• sideration the very high character given of the prisoner, do now sentence him, the prisoner, Captain Henry Charles Moorehead Hawkey, of the Woolwich division, to be reprimanded. " Royal Marine Barracks, Woolwich, May 17, 1852." GAROTTE MURDER AND ROBBERY. HULL, .MAY 22.—This morn i ng , at an eary h our, great excitement was created in the town by the report that a young man, well known among the commercial firms here as engaged in the house of Thomas and Co., merchants, as a clerk in the cashier's department, had been robbed and murdered last night. The report turned out, unhappily, to be true. It appears that a po liceman on going his rounds at 3 this morning in Pros pect-place, a cul-de-sac street with houses on one side only, built in the easturn suburbs of the town, discovered at daybreak the body of a yong man lying on the edge of a ditch which separates the road in front of these houses from a piece of waste land which they overlook. He at once communicated with the sergeant on duty, and they aroused the nearest surgeon, Mr. Boulter, of Dry pool, who, with a feeling that does him infinite credit, assisted to convey the body to his own house, when it was in a short time identified as that of Mr. F. W. Maplethorpe, residing with his father, a retired trades man, in the abovenamed street; marks of a scuffla on the pavement and the dragging of a body across the road were perceivable, showing that the poor youth had been attacked within a few feet of his own threshold. The external appearances of the body indicated that death had been occasioned by suffocation, no marks of violence being observed, but some scratches as of human nails upon each cheek. A g old watch, which the deceased carried, had bee n torn from his waistcoat pocket, and his money, to t he amount of ab out 111., had also been taken from h i s person. Imme diat e l y h W M after the discovery, Mr. anus, h ot two e uee police, e givingwas on thethe alert, names and f elevena j t oh te coief constable Snaps'el oacekdtoday low - lodging house, g o i g Smith, who had b een the app rehended house, were placed at harefthempeah ccourt charge of murder and highway robbery. and remanded till Tuesday next. An inquest was held on the body this day, and adjourned i tilt Wednesday next. Th e ev i• (knee on both these i nqu iries went to show that the prisoners, being strangers in Hull, had, immediately after the murder was supposed to have been com mitted, taken a cab from the centre of the town for a 2s drive on the Beverley road , and there dismissed th e cab man; that the prisoner Snape had some scratches and bruises on his hands and arm , , and that his clothing was torn and muddy, g the earth on th em bearing a re semblance to that which formed th e b an k of the ditch where the corpse was found.

THE COTTN TR.Y MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, MAY 22.—Not much passing in the trade to day. Indian corn a shade dearer. .llpwcx I STER. MAy 22.—A rather firmer feeling has pre vailed in the flour bade during the week, choice fresh-made parcels, particularly of household quality, having moved off steadily on Prrival at full, and in some instances for favourable marks, at slightly enhanced rates. In other articles no mate rial variation has occurred. With the exception of tolerably fair quantities of oats and oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals thence and coastwise are extremely light; and from abroad the supplies are on a much less extensive sca!e than for some weeks past. At our market this morning wheat fully sup ported the currency of this day se'nnight. whilst flour was generally held for a little more money. Oats, except of the finest quality, were the turn cheaper; but oatmeal was firm at late rates. NOTTINGHAM, MAY 23. —At our Market to-day we had a better supply of wheat, and the prices of last week were im proved upon, in some instances an advance'of Is per quarter being given. Grinding barley was rather dearer. Oats and beans maintained their value. The average prices of grain and flour in Nottingham are as follow:—wheat, old white, 45s to 48s per 36 stone new ditto, 42s and 48s; old red, 34s to 425. Barley, for malting, 28s to 31s ; for grinding, 27s to 28s. Oats, 20s to 235. Beans, old, 34s to 36s per 31 stone ; new ditto, 31s to 31s; Egypt'an, 30s to 3:s. Flour, super, 30s to 35s per 20 stone; fine, 28s to 295. At Woodbridge the supply was not large, and some business was done for shipping at fully late rates; for good freshly thrashed samples is more money was given. At Stowmarket wheat was about the same as last week. There was scarcely a sample of spring corn in the market. On Thursday, at Bishop's Stortford, wheat was 6d to Is dearer ; spring cons was firm in price. WoRCESTER, MAY 22.—The market is steady, and a fair amount of business was transacted to-day. English white wheat ranges from 15s 6d to 16s 6d per bag, and red 14s 6d to 15s 6d. halting barley 3s 6d per bushel, and distilling quali ties 33 to 3s 4d.

White peas 3s 10d, and gray 3s 8d per bushel. Spring vetches 4s 6d to 4s 10d per bushel. At Stratford -on-Avon market on Friday there was an aver age amount of business transacted at our last quotations. At Stourbridge market en Friday there was a fair supply of wheat, which sold freely at fully the rates of last market•day Bariey maintained last week's quotations. Beans were also held firmly at former rates. In peas and oats the business was exceedingly limited, but there was no actual reduction in price. At Wolverhampton market the supply of wheat from the farmers and dealers was moderate, and as millers were willing to purchase at former rates, the market ruled firm, and for fine qualities of wheat some little advance was realized. Eng lish white fetched from 5s 4d to 5s 6d per 621 b, and red 5s to 5s 3d. Good malting barley steady in price, the run being from 28s to 30s per quarter. New English beans quite as dear, say 12s 3d to 12s 9d per 9 ilb, old about 13s to I3s 6d. There was a dull sale for oats, which were rather in favour of buyers. English oats 22s to 23s per imperial quarter, Irish 20s to 225. No black on sale.

DUBLIN, MAT 21.—We have again to report an extremely dull market at our Corn Exchange to-day.

The re ceipts for the last six days are only t—Wheat 41 brls, at 19s to 22s ; barley 136 brls at 12s 3d to 13s; oats 6'6 brls, at lOs 3ct to ifs per brl. The quantity of native grain coming . ie t° market is so trifling as to make quotations altogether nominal. The stocks of the primer descriptions of foreign wheat are narrowed to a small compass, and as holders on this accoun t are firm in their pretensions, but little business has been dO e in the article. In the other descriptions the sales being mal e are only to a moderate extent at late prices. There is litt barley held in this market. We have not heard of any trans' actions in oats, which are rather dull at our late qu otation s ' The trade in prime flour is very la n g u id, an d the busin e-a passing is confined entirely to the supply of the more pressinbge wants of bakers.
