The supplies of all kinds of Graia last week were mo derate, and there was also a limited quantity of Flour. The fresh arrivals this morning were small of most de scriptions of Corn. Wheat of dry quality well supports last quotations, and some few select samples have obtained rather higher prices, but tender parcels still meet a slow sale. Barley fit for malting may be reported ls. per quar ter higher, in other sorts no alteration in value. Dry Beans are rather dearer, the tender parcels, however, meet no improvement. Pease of both kinds are unaltered. The best parcels of Oats are rather improving in value, but not sufficiently so to justify any alteration in the quo tations. The Flour trade continues dull.

LIVERPOOL.--A female laid her infant on the ground, and precipitated herself into George's Dock Basin; being seen, she was soon extricated from her pe rilous situation, and taken into a boat, whence she struggled to throw herself in again, saying she would certainly drown herself, for she could not live with her husband. Athletic sports have this decided advantage over sedentary ones—that while the one invigorates the other enervates both mind and body. As a proof of this, there is no better preservation against gaming than hunting. The fatigue and excitement attending a good day's sport with a pack of fox-hounds oblige a man to retire to rest betimes, and render him indifferent to cards or dice. It has been observed, too, that most Battieres are gamblers. DOVER, JAN. 18.—A Dutch dogger went to Pieces on the Goodwin Sands last night, and every soul perished.

The pursuer's schedule on damages consisted of three articles-Ist, The value of an annuity equivalent to the surplus rent from the term of removal. 2d, The va lue of the woods. 3d, The expence of defending the ac tion of reduction. The verdict of the Jury was, for the ' pursuer, value of 4urplus rents 65,000/. ; woods, 19,000/. ; expence of reduction, 1,500/.; total 76,500/. ; being the largest amount of damages ever given by a Scotch Jury. On Saturday last, a young child was burned to death in the village of Rusliton.—Afacclesfield Courier. An accident took place at Logierait on Satur day morning last, by the explosion of gunpowder. CIIAS. ROBERTSON, grocer there, had been attempting to kindle a fire by means of gunpowder, and in throwing a portion of it among the embers the flames communicated with the vessel in which a considerable quantity of that inflammable substance was contained. The shock which followed was dreadful, and speedily called all the inhabitants of the village to the spot. Although there were six individuals in the room when the accident took place, fortunately no lives wereioat.—Perth Courier. The piercing cold which prevailed here in the beginning of the week, was succeeded on Wednesday even ing by snow, which continued to fall during the night, and heavily as yesterday morning advanced. The ground was covered to a very considerable depth, and the progress of the mail so much retarded, as to be two hours past the usual time pf arrival. At mid-day thaw commenced. 'We may calculate, however, on the communication with die taut parts being still impeded by the heaviness of the roads, and the non-arrival of the London mail at night, which has' now occurred several times in succession, is likciy to pre vail two or three days longer.— Greenock Advertiser. A snow storm ,commenced on Monday, and has since continued with little intermission. All the coaches arrived nearly in due time last night, with the ex ception of the South Mail, which was at least three hours behind time, arriving after three o'clock in the morning. This did not arise, however, from any interruption by the snow. Being about half tide at Quecnsferry, the guard and passengers had to take an open boat, which was driven on a sand bank about 200 yards from the shore, where they had to abide the pelting of the storm for nearly three hours. This morning the coach& from this place to Edinburgh, found it impossible to proceed beyond Damhead, about 14 miles to the southward of Perth. .One of them returned to-day a little after noon --the other stuck fast in the snow. ....Perth Courier. THE CHURCH.—The Hon. A. PAKENs Haat, brother-in-law of the Duke of WELLINGTON, is re ported to succeed to the vacant Episcopal See at Killaloe. Dean Dual - COWES, of Cork, Dean PONSONBY, Archdeacon TORRENS, the Hon. the Dean of CLocxxx, are also talked of as likely to succeed to the See of Killaloe, vacant by the death of Dr. ARBUTHNOT. —Dublin Warder. Yesterday the Parish Church of St. Magnus and St. Margaret, near London-bridge, was re-opened for divine service, baring, since the late lire in that neighbour hood, undergone some necessary repairs.

DURHAM ELECTION. 1 (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Dllnn 51, JAN. 9.—lt is probably owing to what may be termed the abeyance of the King's Ministry, that so little is said or doing here at present in elec tioneering matters. Little doubt, however, is enter tained of Mr. Lambton'S elevation to the Peerage; and, generally speaking, as little prevails upon the question of who is to be that gentleman's successor. It may certainly be otherwise, but we strongly in cline to the notion that Mr. Russell is the man. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. prB); j E olia V ,al E oufe ß l L loo E Boo Y vs: ll .yfi l .ev.

Tuesday,i at i.ay thorne Friday, At about eight o'clock last night, we learnt that nothing definiti ve h a d ta k en place with respect to the Ministry u p to a s h ort t i me before. The horse dealers at Horncastle Fair, who sell their cattle by. the string, have an expression in their transactions with each other. " It's either al/ off, or all on," say they. So that a forty-shilling dispute about a jaded mare or a spavined horse may spoil a bargain that would have otherwise disposed of some of the finest steeds out of " the north eountree."—(Notti Lein, we don't mean so far north as Scotland.)-- So may it be with respect to the Ministry : the ar rangement is as likely " to go off" upon the ques tion of a Rosinante as a Bucephalus. However, as the " string," consisting of those who will be fone i d named in another part of the journal, will probably have something to do with the forth-coming Ali., nistry, we shall add to what is above said som e re marks on their qualities and propensities. With re spect to the Duke of 'Wellington, then, w e may observe further, that his Grace is not only of the same opinion with Mr. Canning and what may be called his posthumous Cabinet, on the Greel:: clue , - tion, but he is the formal and responsible author of the system which was adopted and brought into acs ith fie,? ; 11 ,, , tion after his embassy to St. Petersburgh.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOT-RNU,S. The long delay in the formation of the Ministry is a proof at least that the difficulty of the task was not to be overcome in a moment. Although the Government be not yet announced, nor irrevocably settled, there is reaso n to apprehend that the names which were published in our city article of Saturday last are such as the new Cabinet, when positively con stituted, will be found, with one or two exceptions, to contain. For the inferences which have been so precipitately drawn, as to the character and future policy of this embryo Administration, from the. im puted colour of the individuals composing it, we must hint, that men who have already borne con spicuous parts in public life, may still come together in such novel circumstances and combinations, and may, for an important and uniform purpose, have felt themselves justified in so qualifying former views which they could not realize, and plans which the state of public opinion had long since rendered it isn possible to carry, that it might not be altogether safe to assume beforehand any given course of policy for a new Administration on a mere perusal of the cir culated list of its members. This remark, so gene ralized, may be construed at pleasure as an easy me thod of smoothing their descent from avowed prin ciples for either Qf the t vo parties out of which the Cabinet—pr o hac vice the " Wellington Cabinet" is in the act of being constructed. We shall, there fore, hasten to give our words a more pointed signi fication, by declaring, that it is not in favour of the liberal members of the new Cabinet, as contradis tinguished by common reputation from the others, that we have judged it prudent to offer this warn ing to our readers against the probable fallacy of premature alarms respectin g its measures, because of its exhibiting a preponderancy of Tory, and in some cases inauspicious, names. If we could imagine that Mr. Huskisson, Lord Dudley, and Mr. Chas's,. Grant, but above all the Right Hon. Secretary for the Colonies, had sacrificed any of those great prin ciples to which they stand irrevocably pledged, then, indeed, otirapprehensi ons o f ev il to t h e empire would be rung in the ears of our countrymen with a voice which knows how occasionally to secure itself an audience. But far different will be our course, if, as we are disposed to believe, concessions, and im portant ones, have been made to Mr. Huskisson and to the friends of Mr. Canning, not by them ;—if, as we have ground for expecting, not one essential policy at home or abroad has been yielded by those who are honourably designated as the " liberal" portion of the forthcoming Cabinet ;—if, last, on the Corn-law, and on the Catholic Question, report is correct in saying that the Duke of Wellington has re-considered, and with advantage, many of his old pre possessions. We are confident that Mr. Huskisson would not remain an hourin office if lie did not mean to hold out a firm pledge to the country, that no or, , • essential object of his reforms in finance, or com merce, or colonial policy, will be abandoned ; and Mr. Grant, a conscientious and honourable man, has been governed by the same resolution; and that Lord Dudley would feel it a deep impiety to his de- • parted friend, were he to sacrifice, for the (to him self) paltry object of a Secretary of State's office, the liberal and expanded system of foreign poYley, which entailed for Mr. Canning so illustriousa repu tation, and for England such respect throughout Europe. We are disposed, therefore, to consider, until undeceived by experience, the continuance of Mr. Huskisson, Mr. Grant, and Lord Dudley, in the Cabinet, the most satisfactory proof that a pro per tribute has been rendered, by the bulk of the secondary Tories about to be introduced to it through the patronage of the Duke of Wellington, to those principles and measures which they have hitherto been the foremost to decry. Now one word as to the chief actor in this new drama—his Grace the Duke of 'Wellington. It is said that he is to be the• New Prime Minister, ansi, what is more 'incredible still, that he is at the same time to com mand the army. Of the junrAion of th ese t wo in consistent offices, we shal; of England understassa their own interests, and the - spirit of their con `stitution, too well to endure it for just say that the people despai, occupancy 1. of the possibility of finding any other occii eqcftipmree.m Premier, And it f e o a r n h his e G n r o a t c h e i ' i s ig oc l e c s u s p a pant, which could induce him to accept an office for o n f y th l e en p g l t a l e l , which, in the face of all England, within this twelvemonth, the Duke declared, that "he was wholly disqualified," and which he must be " mad" to desire. Circumstances, however, not yet under stood, may have induced this distinguished person to deviate from the course which, on the former oc casion, he had prescribed to himself; and we shall form no hasty, or at least no willing judgment, un favourable to his constancy and good sense.-- Times. Y
