Tus NEW PENSION DISTRICT.—It has been de cided that Deptford shall be formed into a District, and - that Captain Christie, now staff officer at Taun to), will take charge of this station. We under-tend that the late confidential order given to the Major-Generals of Districts not to move troops or regiments this year, has been so far departed from that in those cases which, from connexions or misconduct, it seems fit to the Major-General, he has power to move the various troops and -companies of regiments from one outpost to another, but in no in stance this year will regiments he moved. THE ADMIRALTT.—Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., M.P., has left the Admiralty for a day or two's so joarn at Margate. The Hon. Captain Berkeley, C. 8., M.P., has left town for a few days. It is reported that the Gallant Captain of the Thetis, 36, received with his newly-married beautiful young wife the handsome dowry of 20,0001.

On Saturday a man named Joseph Lemon was charged betbre Mr. Alderman Musgrove with having stolen several articles in a pawnbroker's shop. The prisoner, it appeared, went into the shop of Mr. Barker, a pawnbroker, and, putting down four duplicates on the counter, said be wished to release the articles to which they referred. The sh o p man produced the goods, and placed them on the counter, expecting the prisoner to pay the amount, but he whipped them up with all imaginable quickness, and darted out of the box. Another shopman hiving ob served the transaction, immediately jumped over the counter, and succeeded in apprehending the prisoner with the property about him. Th pri,oner said he had paid the whole of the interest before he took hold of the goods, and that the accusation was made to plunder him. The prisoner . was committed for trial. The LORD NIATOR said he had received 1/ 143. Id. from William M•Andrew and Son, of Philpot-lane, for the poor- box, and that he would thank the news papers for noticing the fact. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. J. Boyle and Thomas Patterson were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having stolen a quantity of lead from the newly erected mansion of the Army and Navy Club in Pall-mall, not yet com pleted. It appeared that the two prisoners were plumbers, in the employ of Mr. Trego, the contractor for the works, and were engaged, Boyle at 1/. ls., and Pat terson at 18s. per week. In consequence of lead having been missed from the works, some under the care of Patterson was marked, and it was subse quently discovered to be gone. On Friday night Mr. flanking, the Beeman of the works, told the men that they must submit to be searched, and that those who refused would be given into custody. On putting his hand on Boyle 10mb. of lead were found under his shirt, and Patterson, who had his jacket off, denied having any lead, but subsequently produced three pieces, and afterwards two more. Both prisoners were committed for trial. CLERKEN WELL. Tempest Fletcher, a greengrocer, in York-street, City-road, was charged at the instance of Mr. `v,mr:fhoanmitnami osiing afb e c ba r cso e , gr t u a r e y l t y t o t t e r y n a 4 l i o cwi with for h y ch r. cutting tt i t ng e Parne d a of g the n t S le t , . n ß a r , r i e g e d i , n p h e l u property (if Mr. Gibbs, a gentleman reidiog in Pluminer's row, City -road. It appeared that the animal stopped in front of the defendant's shop for the purposes of nature, and Fletcher, who was trimming some rhubarb with a knife, rushed up to it and ripped it up from the flank to the tail. The dog was brought into court in the care of its owner and a per-on who has it under treatment, in the hope of effecting a cure of the dreadful injury. On the wound being exhibited it occasioned a sicken ing sensati sn, and elicited cries of " Shame, shame !" Mr. TTRWHITT, the magistrate, shuddered on per ceiving the extent of the injury to the poor animal. He inquired its value. Mr. Gibbs said, he had been repeatedly offered 20/, but prizing it as he did, he should be unwilling to part with it. It was sent to him from the St. Ber nard when a puppy. The defendant said the dog flew at him, and he only acted in self-defence. That was, however, most positively denied by the servant who was with the dog at the time the injury was done. Mr. TTRWHITT regretted that the statute did not empower him to award the amount of damage done to the animal. Mr. Thomas said, there was a Bill now before the House of Commons to authorise magistrates to award damages in such cases of cruelty. Mr. TYRWHITT was glad to hear it, and charac terising the defendant's conduct as very cruel, fined him in the full penalty of 40x. and costs, or a month's imprisonment. —TDB ROYAL YACHTS AND THE SUMMER CRUISE. royal yacht, Victoria and Albert, is out of the •hands of the dockyard at Portsmouth, but is ),eing partially repainted, and her decorations are being retutiched.

During the present week, as some gentlemen from Liverpool were on a visi to a friend in the neighbourhood of Milnthorpa, for the purpose of participating in the sport of rook shooting. and having occa s i on to ca ll on t h e i r friend Mr. llodgsoo, who ;ref ps the in n at B ent h am. t o partake of some littl re!reshment, thle f oun d " Old Boniface" and whilst he was seated with the seated in a cm , ner, labouring under the influence of the gout.

FIRE IN OXFORD-STREET.—Last night (Sunday), shortly before eleven o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises lxionging to Mr. W. Leaver, a hat manufac. turer, No. 5, Oxford•street, adjoining the Boar and Castle Hotel and Coach-office. Several engines were kept in full operation until past twelve o'clock, when the firemen at length succeeded in extinguishing the flumes, but n it until the whole of Mr Leaver's stock in trade was reduced to ashes, and every ro irn in the building burnt out. The Boar and Castle. although it has es caped destruction by fire, has received serious damage by water, the cellars and several of the rooms being so flooded that an engine was obliged to be employe d to pump the water out. The premises of Mr. J. Ewing, upholsterer, Nos. 3 and 4, Oxford•street, are also seri ously damaged by water. R. M'Leod and W. H. Suter, Liverpool, ship brokers —F. Ritaington and G.

CHRONICLE.—The puelte are highly indebeei to Mr. John O'Ceneeil ter the persevereece wi h which he pressss up 411 their tti_ere n the teceesity of giving to the genet ',mortal !it'd:en re in whose 'eearirg the pro ceedinge of Parliament are ordinarily conducted I, gni mete eeee,s to the privilege which they now elijoy by sutheance. know of few itestances in which the tetitservetive instincts of the English character hive in , re coespicuously shown themselves then ill the toed eel - it-rime, 4,f our legislators to this venerable anachro eiste. That a casette exists is, in the epionin of every tree Et gliehleate a eet , d prima facie teas:on why it erieue continue to exist; at d it. is eely by inakine eon it to be a practical i eiconveeience that you eta) per uade bins to entertain the question at all. We don't throw aside the shoe till it actually pinches us. Mr. O'Connell goes to work in the tight way. By availine himself of the innocent figment of an imaginary quarrel with the newspaper press, he has succeeded in depriving' the public of two very interesting debates; and we cannot too much admire the disinterested zeal with a Inch he exposes the absurdity of an ob ,olete usage, by liberally exposieg himself. After .to interruptions to the public business of the coun try—tor tweedy poet( ills that Pa-item-et is per ,rating its proper Inections while elebstieg with teos4el doers—atter two such interruptions to public business, there can be no doutit whatever that the tem tiler>. of ‘• seeing a stranger" must. lie summarily get ,id of ; acid the only question is, whether any and a hat power of excluding the public shall be retained, and in whom it shall be vested. Ti give such a privilege to a minority, whether large or small, would introduce a new principle into our Parliamentary practice, which it would require some solid argument to justify. What .s there in this, mare than in ether cases, to oust the general rule which constitutes the majority the judge, and which allows no appeal from its eh cision ? In. deed, we are somewhat puzzled to understand what that class of questions can be which are proper to be made the subject of a Perliarnenty discussion, and not proper .0 be divulged through the ordinary channels of the press. We do not understand a secret conclave of 600 4e-ntlennen, all of whom habiruelly mix in general society. end meat of whom never kept a secret in the course of heir lives. It is conceivable, and barely conceit/Ale, het cases may arise in which it would be advisable :hat the House should proceed with closed doors ; eat such an instance could scarcely occur more than once or twice in a , entury ; and when it dip, the ques tion might be safely left to the discretion and good feel. tug ut the, majority. Publicity is an essential elementin he usefulness of our Legislature. and an inseparable in tedent so its coustitutioe. The proceedings of Parliament ,re public property. We have a right to know what: goes on within St. Stephen's Chapel. To use a word -xpressive of an idea net the less real for being somewhat :1 defined, it is "uncenstitutittnal "—in the highest de gree unconstitutional—to shut us out. It is not as a nachine ter transacting public business, which it does cut indifferently, nor as a bulwark against those royal xeregetivee that we real about in " Blackstone," vita rerlitanetit deserves the attachment with which we regard our representative institutions—institutions ne -essay te us as the light we enjoy and the air we breathe. It is because every question, which any class of people eutnerous enough to have a voice in the House think ?roper to raise, is there debated on an open and elevated pletform, in the sight and hearing of the whole public of Great Britain. If Mr. O'Connell is to be made the Cer• oerus of the House of Commons, we must return to the period when newspapers did not exist. Had Mr. O'Connell " seen strangers " at an earlier period of the evening we should have been deprived of the very good speeches delivered by Mr. Napie r and Mr. Bernal Osborne on the teismanagtment of incumbered estates in Chancery— perches containing, perhaps, the strongest argument 4shich the House has yet heard for a root-and-branch 1- , lnsilition of that system of nominal proprietorship .vhich keeps a great part of Ireland in a state of chronic , nd hopeless pauperism. We should have missed the eratification of being informed by Mr. Grattan that Ireland asks fur nothing but to be let alone. We should save lost the cony, rsation on Irish evictions ; and the amiable purpose for which Sir Robert Peel drew the attention of the House to some painful passages in Cap ,ain Kennedy's report must have been altogether frus trated. He was aware, he said, of the difficulty of ap plying a legal remedy to such cases, but the mention of he facts might, he thought, have some effect in check eig these evictions, more especially if it were known that the recitals were heard with an expression of the deepest abhorrence by the House of Commons. But it Mr. John O'Connell had caught sight of a strang• r before the Right Honourable Baronet had made his statement, we should have had no opportunity of knowing anything at all about it. After the gallery was cleared the debate dropped into a tone of languid gossip, and the two hours that followed might have been almost as profitably employed if the house had adjourned tor the; night to the parquet of Drury-lane Theatre. .kb :fur Mr. John O'Connell, our readers will of course 4o us the justice to believe that we have no personal quarrel with him. We have never said that the electors Limerick were the most foolish or the least fortunate ef all the constituencies in the United Kingdom. We never hinted that their Member was the greatest bore in the House of Commons. There may be two opinions in the subject, but for our own part we really don't pink so. We shall make no exception to our general ractice, either in his favour or to his prejudice. We hall report as much of what he says as we think proper, rid no more. From others, it may be, he will meet with ess forbearance. In picking a quarrel with the public ress, he is tilting at rs quieten' from which the most lstlful player never carried away anything but hard .necks. That be may get what he does not wish is ex , remely like]) ; but hate he a grain of common sense in is compositiou, he would know that he will certain') of get shat he does wish. Neither mend nor physical tree, neither conciliation nor coercion, will ever induce tie House to listen to his spec ches, nor us to recur , hem, further than may be required by our own estimate 4f their public interest and importance. A DVERTISER.—Recent exercises of the privilege o' xcluding strangers from the debates in Parliament ave occasioned much discussion as to its men. We rave no doubt of its rise in the darker ages of our his ery, but, unfortunately for satisfaction on this point. minutes of the proceedings of public bodies were not •. corded with much exactness or regularity in feudal mete The .Retuli Purliamenti, continued from Ed ard I. to Henry VII., contain no mention of privileges, mud s et we believe that we can show reason for holding ,n eisittion, that the claim to exclude persons from the atitmal councils, on the ground that they were not Members, existed long before the first of the rolls in ,hat venerable collection of Parliamentary proceedings. From the earliest assemblage of men to consult for the ouituon weal, there must have existed, by concession or ,seureption, a perfect freedom of speech. In order that ,his may exist, it is essential that the assembly shall have he nowt r of excluding all persons who do not belong to ,he Indy in council. In small communities, like the early Germanic tribes, from whom we derive our Parliaments, there would be nobody to exclude but the natives of some other division of the great body. They were armed confederacies, and their deliberations were held, like councils of war, sword in hand. The chiefs and the people having one common interest, could have no moe iive for secrecy as regarded either class. Sir Francis Palgrave, indeed, expresses an opinion, that the National Ass , nablies of the Teutonic or German bodies might oc casionally have been overawed by powerful chiefs. That, we may be assured, would have been a very sufficient reason for time° enthusiasts of popular rights and free dom fur expelling such chiefs from their deliberations, and deposing them from all authority. But there is no warrant in history for the opinion. People who enter a council with arms in their hands are ill prepared for submission to class-legislation. History, which refuses to exhibit facts in confirmation of Sir Francis Pan grave's hypothesis, informs us that an attempt to alter the ancient laws and constitution of Sweden, by King Ingi, was so strongly resented by the boors, and others assembled in the Log-thing, or Legislative Council, that they violently ejected him, end threw stones after him in his flight. There is another instance, in which an attempt by a chief, with the title of king, which was more common, and consequently less honourable than at present, ended fatally to himself, for the people in deliberation cut him down with their swords, and afterwards offered him in public sacrifice. We could enumerate other facts, of which the tendency is to show that the national meetings, which are the generators of our more formal Parliaments, were jealously kept as free as they were instituted—councils tor the general good, to which all but foreigners had access, and in which the powerful who aimed at innova tion on the common right were coerced by the armed councillors. When the Normans came into England, there were two races of men to be ruled, and it was long the custom, when it was deemed nec , ssary to hold a Par liament, to send royal writs of summons to select persons, and thus both the owners of honours, as a concentration of several baronies in an individuil possessor was denominated, and the owners of single 4nanors, sat together in Parliament. It is more than probable that, under this arrangement, in imida.i.)n might be used by the more powerful Barons by tenure over the les; weighty Barons by writ. sVe pass on from these rule times to the Parliament or Oxford, in the reign of Henry 111., when the Barons, :succeeded in diminishing the authority of the s evereign, sought to increase and perpetuate the aristo cratic power, by introducing persona into deliberatioti with them from the general body of the people. By this 'top they partly revived the free spirit of the Teutonic councils. The two classes certainly continued to sir together in the same house for a long time, though tantiquaries are unable to settle the date of their separae tiro. A third step brought the Parliament into its pre sent form of c instil trion, and introduced the claiming of privileges. We mean the origin of the right of boroughs and cities to send representatives to deliberate with the nobles and knights of shires on the welfare of the whole. In such an assembly, the very first question of taxation, or if public right, that arose, would occasion a distinction in the business or Parliament, and convenience itself would sue: est the dtvisien of classes, which took place and still , üb.ists. At this stage of Parliamentary history the power of the House of Commons was comparatively small. On electing a Speaker, they were obliged to send him with an humble supplication to the Sovereign the: they might have liberty of speech in their necessary consultations. It weal also be just at the separation of the Parliament into two Houses, that the Ceminons would discover that the presence of great barons and courtiers might riff-ct the freedom of thought and lan guage, without which they would be mere tools. We can easily imagine that now began a second time that jealousy of the presence of strangers, which extsted in the early councils of the Germans. We are riot pre pared to state the exact time when a record was made in the journals that strangers were present and ordered to withdraw, though probably something of the kind may be found in Whitelocke or Rushworth. Iu all probability is was simply an announcement of the fact that was necessary to occasion expulsion, The pritilege of debating unobserved, janaii clausis, is es to the due the t t , tiu „t Pa rli, i mum, ,-v en 110 w that the lions, of Corninohs is Srrc - d from the ilirddoni ill which it t , ilt its ris- as a sepura , e body.

There is a time-honoured custom in this maritime country that when a new ship is completed and fairly emberked upon the element which is to be her home the occasion shall be celebrated by hospitalities com tnensurete with the importance of tlie event. The Eiryptians appear to have followed our example in this respect, and to have bettered our instruction. The frigate of his Highness the Pasha, which is the sub ject of this notice, is not a new vessel, havirg been built many years ago in Alexandria, and having been brought over to this country to undergo alterations, and to be fitted with engines of 550 horse power, and a screw propeller. These objects are now accom plished, and this noble vessel returns to Egypt, a fine specimen of our skill in the details of naval architec ture, and in the construction of steam machinery. Previous to her departure Admiral Hatiz Be', under whose flag she sails, justly regarding the Sharkie to be " almost as good as new," and having due respect for the custom to which we ha%e already alluded, resolved to issue cards of in vitation and to give a numerous and distinguished party of friends and visitors an opportunity of in specting his ship and partaking of his hospitality. The gallant old Admiral carried his intentions into effect on Saturday, and that upon a scale of magnifi cence which has rarely if ever been surpassed. The frigate was moored off Poplar-stairs, and as early as 11 o'clock the invited guests began to arrive. From that hour till one o'clock the space between her and the shore was crowded with boats conveying parties on board. The ladies who came first were presented with splendid bouquets of flowers, and all the guests were received and welcomed at the top of the compa nion ladder by the Admiral, Mohammed Bey, and the principal officers of the ship. At one o'clock, when the Sh.irkie started from Blackwa:l, the scene which her deck presented was most animated and re• markabte. Under a spacious awning, which extended for more than half her length, and formed an agree able shelter from the rays of the sun; were assembled about 320 gentlemen and ladies, and scattered among them and varying the effect which their own gay dresses produced were the dark blue uniforms and Fez caps of those in command and their attendants There were also present some young gentlemen sent from Egypt to be educated in this country, and whose man ners and appearance formed a singular and not uninte resting melange of the east and the west. Passing forwards the scene changed. Europeans had disap peared, and the huge ship was in this part occupied by men whose swarthy countenances showed their eastern descent, who all wore the red Fez and the characteristic wide trousers ; and who, if they wanted the broad and muscular frames of our own tars, cer tainly looked wild and formidable enough to sustain the warlike character of any vessel of which they might happen to be the ship's company. Many of these were Arabs, and some were Greeks, but the mej alty were from the valley of the Nile, and, judging by the deeper hue of their complexions, and the other traces of a more scorching sun, a few must have been born very far up the river. At the stern of the vessel waved the red benner, with the crescent in the centre, whi'e at the m , imeast head floate I the union jack. There was an excellent bard on et k prepared to fill up with music any gap V•at nigh take place in the amusements and festivities of the day. Below the cabins were all thrown open, and were curiously and admiringly examined lw the vidtore The pannelling and furniture of them were all w exquisite workmanship, being in many parts richly inlaid with ivory and rnother-of pearl, and exhibiting a total freedom both from the gaudy embellishments of our merchant steamers, and from the Spartan simplicity of our ships of war. Here, too, on what will henceforth he called, and, perhaps, used as the fighting deck, were spread out in endless profusion the material which sustains and prolongs life, not !het which takes it away. No " smell of villanous seltpetre" there, but the perfume of rare fruits, and all the grateful odours of a well-provided and boun'iful repast. But few had the courage to turn from there splendid preparations for solacing the fatigues of the day to penetrate )flow water level, and inspect minutely the splendid engines of Messrs. Miller and Ravenhill, with which the Sharkie has been fitted. They are of 550-horse power, with cylinders 74 inches in diameter, and a piston-stroke of 4 feet. They are constructed on rather a novel principle, yet are found to act admirably in connexion with the screw-pro peller, which here is 14 feet 6 inches in diameter. Iu the engine room there are not less than 18 fires, yet so thoroughly is the ventilation that the heat is never felt to he inconveniently great. The trip down the river on Saturday is not to he regarded as in an any degree of en experimental kind, and it would be doing the sailing qualities of the Sharkie great injustice to treat it as such. Yet, at different points in her progress she attained a very coubiderable speed, and these is very little doubt, from the tests to which she has been already sub jecteA, that ,he pr.)v e a very fast frigate. The tact is:, that. the ho*itable dispo , ition of Admiral 11;fiz Bey vats the only thing which was put to a severe searching tri,l on Saturday, an d we a re hound to say that iv s to o d the teA without showing a firiw.

E. Stably, Mr. Ayrton, the Rev. Mr. Reeves, Mr. Leonard, Mr. George L , indseer, &nd Mr. Charles Lantheer. The Lords of the Admiralty were among the guests invited, but they did not appear. His Excellency the Turkish Ambassador was also invited, but was prevented from being present by a prior engagement. The Lord Mayor and the Earl of Ellesmere left the frigate before she ha I gone very far down the river. After ihe company had bean made sufficiently at rmihe by the politenes , ; and ettenlion of Admiral Hatiz Bey, Mohamed 13-y, and the other officers on board, dancing w,:s introduced, in which some of the EgyptiAn gentlemen present joined. This part of the priweedings and the mu , ic which accompanied seemed to give vast d Ii ht to the crew, who crowded towards the quarter deck to see ladies in public not only un veiled but dancing. At four o'clock the Shaikie, being within a few miles of Sheerness, waA put round and returned up the river after a very del.ghtful run, to the pleasure of which the beauty of the weather materially con tributed. A five o'clock the company proceeded to do ample jus!iee to the sumptuous thjeuner supplied for them. The heads of the different tables were occupied by Admiral Ilafiz Bi-!, by Mohamed Bey, and the superintendent of the dockyard at Alexandria, and by M. Pasquali, commercial agent of his Highness Abbas Pasha. The two latter speak English fluently, and were Vierefore able to do the honours in the language of their guests. The old Admiral used Mr. Ayrton as the interpreter of his feelings to the company. A - monz, the toasts proposed during the evening were " The Queen," " Prince Albert and the Royal Family," " Tne Sultan," " Mehemet Ali," " Abbas l'nsha," and the " Illtish Navy," Mr. AYRTON proposed the last toast, on behalf of Admiral Hafiz Bey, in very spirited and highly com plimentary terms. On returning to the deck pips and c( free were handed round in the eastern fashion, and the former luxury especially was eagerly embraced by many of geictienien present. Whether the attemrs at Oilental manners on the part of our countrymen were quite ,5o successful as those at English manners by the Egyptians remained to the close of the even ing rather a doubtful question. At Purfleet the frigate anchored for the night, and the guests took their d parture for town in the Jupiter steamer, highly gratified with their day's amusement, and with the kind and hospitable reception they had met with. THE COUNTR Y MARKETS. MANCHESTER, JUNE 9 —With a continuance of most favourable weather, every branch of trade observes the greatest caution in purchases, which are restricted to the supply of pre sent wants. To-day the demand for each article is slow, and confined almost entirely to the best samples, at about the rates of our la , t, any change in pt ices being in favour of the buyer. WINCHESTER, JUNE 9.—Corn—Very little difference in the price of wheat. Corn dealers and millers bought good samples, without much pressing, at the highest, prices given last week. llops—Reports as to the growing plant being various, and in some parts unfavourable, caused holders of last year's growth to ask an advance of 5s per cwt. for best Fern.. hams, Alton's and Sussex grown, yet purchasers were not dis posed to yield to the excess, consequently but very little busi ness was transacted. Farnhams at from 5/ to 6. lOs per cwt ; country ditto, 4/ lOs to 5 10s; Sussex, 3‘ to 51 lOs ditto.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 7.—To-day the numbers ss ere —oxen, 615 ; sheep, 960; lambs, 711. We had a good supply of cattle at nor market, and prices scarcely maintained last week's quotations. Best ox beef 48s per cwt, sec , oid quality from 44s to 45s per do, cows ai,d inferior beasts from 37s to 42s 6d per do, welkin. the offal. Sheep were more plentiful. Prices were—sheep in wool bid per lb, clip ped sheep 5d to ;id per do, sink,ng the offal. Lambs were very plentiful and dull of sale The prices varied from 9s to 18s per head, according to quality. 13ELFAS1, JUNE 7.—Wheat bells at former prices. Foreign not much inquired after, and the few sales we have are at about former rates. Petersburgh, 8' 15s to 9/ 5s ; Odessa, 915 s to 9/ lOs ; Baltic and American. 10/ 5s to II lOs per ton. Flou r unc h anged in value, but sales blow. American, 24s to =4s 6cl per barrel, Barley a slow sale, at former rates. Oats are Id to 2d higher, and in fair demand. Oatmeal--- Fine fresh lots sell at an advance of 3d to 5d ; other qualities sell pretty freely at about former rates. Indian corn, a slow sale, at about foimer rates Yellow, 81 12s 6d to 8/ 17s 6d; white, 8/10s to 8/ 17s 6d per ton. CoRK, JUNE 8.-111 e arrivals of foreign grain continue very small. Those of home-grown are scarcely worthy of nn: tice, the receipts of wheat for the week amounting to only !I barrels. Some sales, to a fair extent, have taken place in Foreign wheat during the week, but at prices fully 6d per barrel in favour of tie buyers. In oats but very little busi ness has been done, and prices are nominally unaltered. A fair consumptive trade has been done in fine flour at late prices , but there is still the same disinclination, so long noticed, to make speculative purchases, and the market, in consequence, is devoid of activity. Coarse flours are scarce and in demand. At the close of last week, and subsequent to the publication of our report, Indian corn made a still further advance of 2s 6d to 5s per ton upon the prices which we named. During the last day or two, however, the market has become very quiet, with less business doing, and though holders still ask the extreme price of 9/ per ton, we believe a lower figure, say 81 17s ed would be accepted. We quote prices, however, 8/15s to 9/ per ton. Flour—Firsts 14s Od to 14$ 6d; extra 15s Od; . seconds, 13$ Od to 13s 6d; households lOs to 12s ; thirds Ss to I , )s per cwt.
