Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat. All kinds met a dull sale, at from 2s to 4s per qr less money. The barley trade was heavy, at drooping currencies. Malt, cats, beans, peas, and flour sold slowly on lower terms. The continental markets have ruled dull for wheat and all other articles, on rather easier terms. The latest ad vices from New York state that a very moderate business was doing for shipment to England. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 5,897 quarters of wheat, 5,946 oats, 1,454 beans, 436 tares, 8,568 linseed, 1,909 rapeseed, 29 mustard seed, 620 sundry seeds, 4,215 sacks and 351 barrels. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day was limited ; nevertheless, the show o f Friday's unsold samples—amounting to 1,600 quarters— was tolerably good. The number of land carriage parcels was small. As , the attendance of both town and country millers was limited, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled excessively heavy, and some time elapsed ero a single parcel changed hands. The quotations were consequently very uncertain, yet they may be called 3s to fully 4s per qr lower than on this day so'nnight. The supply of foreign wheat was but moderate ; yet all kinds were very dull on sale, and the quotations may be called 4s to 5s per quarter beneath the rates current en this day week. Barley—the show of which was by no means extensive — moved off heavily, at from is to 2s per quarter less money. Malt was offered at a considerable reduction in price without finding buyers. The oat trade was very dull, and the quotations gave way is per quarter. The supply was but moderate. We were fairly supplied with beans, the value of which gave way is per quarter. Peas changed hands at a reduction of is per quarter. The flour trade was very dull, at a fall of from 3s to 5s per 280 lbs. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a moderate supply of foreign stock here to day, but its quality was inferior. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were seasonably good both as to number and quality. Although the weather was favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely the decline in the quotations reported on Monday last. The highest figure for Scots was 4s 8d psr Sibs. The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, chiefly per railway, 450 horned and polled Scots. There was rather a large supply of sheep in the market, and most breeds came to hand in full average condition. The mutton trade ruled very inactive, yet we have no actual decline to notice in prices. The best old Downs realised 5s per 81bs. The show of calves boing very limited the veal trade was brisk, and prices were on the advance. A very inferior calf would have produced 5s to 6s per Slbs. There was a moderate inquiry for pigs, at last week's quotations. The arrivals of stock from Ireland last week, direct by sea, were 32 beasts, 100 calves, and 54 pigs.

This part-heard appeal from a decree of Vice-Chan cellor Stuart was resumed this day. The suit related to the construction of the will of George Arnold. George Arnold devised his real estate to his eldest son, George Henry Arnold, for 99 years, in case he should live so i long, and subject to this term to trustees and their heirs \ during the life of his second son, in trust only, - 0 sup port contingent remainders ; and from and after the de termination of the said estates, subject, as aforesaid, .to the heirs of the body of the said son George ; and for • want of such issue, to his second son, Edward Richard John Arnold, for 99 years, if he should live so long, with a like limitation to trustees to support con tingent remainders ; and from and after the determina tion of the said estates to the heirs of the body of the last•mentioned son, and for want of such issue to the heirs of his own (the testator's) body, and for want of such issue to the testator's wife during widowhood, and \ after death, or marriage again to such persons and for such estates as his son George Henry Arnold should by will or deed appoint, and after similar powers of appointment successively to his other son and widow, • with ultimate remainder to Edward Morrison, his heirs and assigns for ever. By a codicil to his will, after con firming the will, he devised all 'his freehold and copyhold estates to his wife and three other persons as trustees to the use of them in fee, upon trust immediately after his decease, "to convey to the trustees of his marriage articles such part of his estates as his trustees in their discretion should think fit, and as, with the estates comprised in his marriage articles, would make up the jointure of his wife 1,200/. per annum, and he thereby empowered his trustees and the survivors of them, their heirs and assigns, to sell and exchange or to mortgage any part of his estates, and declared that their receipts should be sufficient discharges ; and he charged all the said estates with the payment of his debts." Under this will and codicil the plaintiff Coape claimed to be en titled as equitable tenant in tail. The testator's son, George Henry Arnold, to whom the estates were devised for 99 years, if he should live so long, had a daughter Georgiana, who married James Coape, and was the mother of the plaintiff, who was therefore heir of the body of George Henry Arnold, and the question therefore was whether, under the will and codicil of the testator, his eldest son and heir at law took an estate tail by the operation of the rule in Shelley's case. The Vice-Chancellor held that the devise to the heir of the body of George Henry Arnold ; was a contingent remainder ; and the rule in Shelley's case did not apply so as to attract the gift to the heirs of the body of George Henry Arnold, and that under the will and codicil George Henry Arnold did not acquire an estate tail. From this decision the defend ants appealed. The judgment of his lordship was that the decision of the Court below be affirmed. (BEFORE THE LORDS JUSTICES.) IN RE DIRECT BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY BXPARTE SPOTTISITOODI. The further arguments in this part heard case occu pied their lordships the whole of the morning. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. BENTHALL V. BACON. Mr. Wills applied for a rule, calling upon the defend ant to show cause why a new trial should not be had in the case. The action was brought to recover 49/. 10s., the balance of a promissory note, given under the fol lowing circumstances :—lt appeared that the defendant had apprenticed his son to an auctioneer, named Spear man, giving by way of premium a promissory note for 1001., payable by two instalments of 501. 10s. and 491. 10s., the first in January, 1854, and the second in Jan uary, 1855. The first instalment was duly paid, but, subsequently, Spearman fell into difficulties, and he indorsed the note to the plaintiff. At the trial the note, when produced, turned out to be a note payable on demand, but inasmuch as the note given by the defend ant contained the condition that the 491. 10s. should not be due until January, 1854, he swore that the note so produced was a forgery, and the jury, in the absence of Spearman, who could not be found, returned a verdict in his favour. Spearman, however, has since turned up, and he being prepared to swear that the note is the one given by the defendant, the plaintiff was anxious to have a new trial. Application granted. INSQLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Phillips.) ' William Pearce, a vocalist, lately carrying on business in Old-street, St. Luke's, this morning came up for hie . discharge. He was opposed by a creditor named Skin ner, who entered at great length into the case, and said the insolvent had wilfully damaged his premises, and also threatened his life. The learned Commissioner stopped him in his state ment, and told him that the as6ault belonged to another tribunal. The insolvent denied the statement of Mr. Skinner, and said that he had acted in the most vindictive man ner towards him. He had taken the bed from under his children, and everything he possessed in the world—he did not even spare their wet clothes. The learned Commissioner ordered the insolvent to be discharged.

Receipts Expenses Surplus 61,700 This balance in favour of the revenue proceeds in part from the re-establishment of the estate tax at its original rate, and from the decree that creates throughout all the communes, from and after the Ist of February next, a tax on butchers' meat, from which the cities liable to the salt tax aro alone to be exempted. _ _ The credits opened. to the seven ministerial do partments are distributed in the manner following Lire.

This additional item will require consideration from shipowners in chartering their ships for the port of Havre. DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL SIR RICHARD O'CONOR, K.C.H.—We have to announce the death of Rear-Ad miral Sir Rickard O'Conor, who died at his residence in London, on Wednesday last, after a lengthened illness. Sir Rickard saw much service during the last American war, and was superintendent of the naval yards on the Canadian lakes during the war, and was officially men tioned for his services at the capture of Oswego in 1814. The deceased admiral was nominated a Knight Com mander of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic order by the late king William IT. the 25th Jan., 1836. His com missions bore date as follows :—Lieutenant, Feb. 1, 1816 ; Commander, Aug. 7, 1310 ; Captain, Aug. 16, 1814 ; Rear-Admiral (Retired), Sept. 2, 1850. FOOD AND ITS ADULTERATIONS.—Dr. Hassell, under whose superintendence the sanitary commission of the Lancet for the micioscropical and chemical examinations of food has been so ably conducted, has just published these inquiries in a compact form. Besides the detailed analysis and essays, we have an introduction which ear nestly, yet modestly, urges the great national import ance of the subject, and the necessity for Parliamentary interference. That considerable public advantage has already accrued by this agitation, we have positive evi donee in the work itself. Amongst the upright and intelligent tradesmen, the fact promulgated created but one feeling ; a desire to remedy a system fraught with serious social mischief, and nothing can be more honour able to that class than to find such addenda as the fol lowing. With reference to the practice of colouring bottled fruits with poisonous pigments, the work states— " The samples of Messrs. Crosse and Blackwell were entirely free from copper. This firm, whose establish ment is the most extensive of any in this branch of trade, has gone to a very considerable expense in fitting up a large silver vessel, as well as several steam pans, which latter are lined with a thick coating of -glass enamel, for the preparation of their various manufactures, thus taking every precaution to guard against the contact with copper. The difference in the fruit and vegetables which are artificially coloured and those which are not is very great, and of the wholesomeness of the two articles there can be but a single opinion, while the ap pearance of the uncoloured samples is much the most pleasing and natural." It would likewise appear that, contrary to the preconceived notion with reference to cigars and cheroots, that out of 56 samples purchased throughout London, not one was adulterated, nor was the presence of opium to be detected. Oa the other hand, there is much amongst trading practices to be ashamed of, and for the disclosure in " coloured confec tionery," we refer our readers to the wstk itself, as the a/ tide bk- the more as shops are almost daily springing up on all sides for the sale of the identical poisonous sweets, so energetically de nounced in this truly interesting velum —Peg.

SCUT RI, Dec. 30.—The undermentioned ships (steamers) having bean named for the conveyance of sick from Balak lava to Scutari, and the Inspector-General of Hospitals at Head Quarters having nominated the officers named as a permanent medical staff on board each vessel, these officers are warned to hold themselves in readiness to embark on board their respective vessels, for the duty re ferred to : Melbourne.—Second-class Staff Surgeon Rutherford; Assistant Staff Surgeons Lane and Sheehy. Australian.—Second-class Staff Surgeon Moorhead; sistant Staff Surgeon Ancell. Sydney.—Second-class Staff Surgeon Donnell ; Assist ant Staff surgeon Hooper. Brandon—Second-class Staff Surgeon Wishart ; As ssitaut Staff Surgeon Palilogus. The Inspector-General at Head-quarters has requested the Principal Medical Officer " to impress on the officers in charge the necessity there is of their being vigilant in the discharge of their duty in every respect." " They will see that the sick are properly put up, their food of good quality and properly .cooked, and that they receive any medical comfort which may be ordered for then ; they will pay attention to the cleanliness and proper ventilation of the ship." In this respect strict attention must be given to the detailed instructions laid down in her Majesty's re gulations. The medical officers will be furnished with medical journals, printed monthly and weekly states, as well as Forms Nos. 1 and 2, for medical comforts, which will be carefully examined on the arrival of each vessel, to see that the expenditure of medical comforts corresponds to the entries in the medical journals. Each Staff Surgeon, 2d class, must provide himself with a case of capital in struments, his own property, but a medicine chest, and such medical and surgical appliances as may be deemed necessary by the medical officer in charge, and approved by the Principal Medical Officer, will be supplied from the apothecaries' store, as well as a complete equipment of purveyors stores and an ample supply of medical comforts. Amongst the purveyors stores a slipper bath will be in cluded if possible. • Each transport carrying sick or wounded from Balaklava to Scutari will be visited by a Staff Surgeon of the first class, as soon as possible after the arrival of the vessel, before the sick or wounded be landed. This medical officer will make a written report -to the Principal Medical Officer of the state he found the sick and wounded in, and whether in his opinion due attention had been paid to them during the voyage. Until further orders First-class Staff Surgeon McGregor will attend to this duty. AMP. - - The Earl of Clarendon arrived in town on Saturday, from his seat, The Grove, Herts. The French Ambas sador visited the noble earl after his arrival at the Foreign-office, Downing-street. EXTRAORDINARY LANDSLIPS,—A few weeks since we noticed that a large portion of the Ebbw Vale iron works, Abesycha,n, had descended into the vale be neath, carrying with it a great number of large tim ber trees and stones of several tons weight. There have since been several other slips, and there is no doubt that the remaining portion of the mountain surface will follow. Men are at present engaged in digging the trees out of the earth where they lie near the surface. A large oak, formerly growing on the sum mit of the mountain, came about half-way down when the first slip took place, and remained there for several weeks, but with the subsequent slips it has found its way into Mr. Roger Newell's garden, at the base of the mountain, where it is now standing as firm and up right as though it had ever grown there. The pressure of the earth'that has come down is so great that it has forced up the floor of the cottage in which Mr. Roger Newell resides, although it does not reach so far as the building by some few yards. It is fad to contemplate the thousands of tons of loose earth lying in a heap above the house in so insecure a state, threatening every moment to come upon the dwelling and bury its inmates, Mascott. By L. Howe. 2 vols'. Hurst a mi Blackett. This is a pleasing .and agreeable story, in which the characters are va vied and the style attractive. The chief point of th e tale consists in the some what improbable fact: of a child, who had been found by gipsies, and Adopted by a neighbouring country gentleman, subsequently proving to be a wealthy heiress and the spossessor of large estates. The usurper of her possessions, Lord Grantham, was her cousin ; and being fully aware of her real parentage, and of the dangerous position in which he stood, had vainly endeavoured to persuade het to become his bride. He was the unsuccessful rival of her benefactor's nephew, who relates th.o story. Owing to the machinations of Lord Grant ham many misunderstandings occur, during which period Gabrielle's rights are discovered, and Lord Grantham, after some difficulty, is forced to sur render his possessions. This does not amend the hero's fortunes, however, for being too proud to renew his acquaintance with Gabrielle he exchanges into a regiment going to India, and leaves England forthwith: There he meets with several adventures, one of which is of a very romantic character, though the straightforwardness and honesty of his conduct may be very much questioned. After distinguishing himself and obtaining promotion he returns to England, where, ,after some further doubts and mistakes, all is happily concluded by leis marriage with Gabrielle, while the evil genius, Lord Grant ham, now Mr. Harcourt, after an unsuccessful attempt at murder, departs, and leaves them in peace. It will thus be seen that there is no lack of incident or paucity of events in these two volumes. Added to these there are many characters intro duced, which are skilfully drawn. Georgiana, the lively cousin of the hero, tills a prominent place,. and the narrative of her sayings and doings forms an amusing interlude. An ancient legend is in troduced for the benefit of lovers of romance, who cannot, indeed, fail to - be gratified with the more modern portion 9f the work. . History for Boys. By J. G. Edgar. Bogue. This is an instructive and interesting volume, which sets forth the chief outlines of the history of European States in a manner likely to captivate the youthful reader, and arouse his attention. Th e aims and opinions of the writer are shown in the following extract from the preface : "The object of the following pages is to exhibit, in a manner attractive to juvenile readers, the most interest ing and important events in the history of modern Europe. While the most striking and illustrative inci dents in the annals of each country have been selected for narration, every circumstance essential to be known in regard to the rise and progress of the different Euro pean States has been mentioned, if net fully related ; and as narrating events whielt must necessarily excite interest from their magnitude and importance, from the light which they throw upon the period when they occurred, and from the effects which they have produced on succeeding ages, this volume will be found to contain a brief but useful compendium of modern history. The advantage of such a work will not be lightly estimated by those who are impressed with the importance of history as a branch of education, and with the still greater importance for fUture enjoyment and improvement of an early taste for historical infor mation. The great truths, it is true, which are pro claimed by the annals of nations, the views which they. unfold of the systems of government under which we live, the guidance which they afford in politics and legis lation, the peculiarities of human nature which they dis close, and the lessons which they enforce by examples —the last and most precious fruits of this impor tant study—are scarcely the natural and proper objects of the juvenile understanding: But to enter into the spirit of stirring events—to form vivid conceptions of character and incidentsa—to sympathise with the illus. trious actors on the stage of the world, and to see with the mind's eye the transactions which history has to record constitute the appropriate exercise of youth and the best preparation for a more profound and compre hensive knowledge." The readers of this little volume will admit that it has attained its object " of rendering historical knowledge interesting without the smallest inac curacy. " A sketch of every country in Europe is given, and the work is adorned with several illus trations. The author is- already favourably known as an instructor for youth by some former volumes of biography, and the present useful compendium of information will increase his reputation as an instructor for the young. Diary and Correspondence of Samuel Popys, F.R.S. Fifth edition. 4 vols. Colburn. This curious and valuable work has reached. an other edition, which contains all the improvements made in the fourth, with the Life and Noteu by Lord Braybrooke. In the preface an accouz it is given of the adventures of the Dittrnall of The Rugger, so often quoted in the notes. Rugge was a contemporary of Pepys, and they frequently de scribe the same events. " The original M.S. be longed, in 1693, to Thomas Grey, second Earl of Stamford. It has his autograph at the commence ment, and on the sides are his arms in gold. In 1619 it was sold by auction in London, as part of the collection of Thomas Lloyd, Esq., and was then bought by Thomas Thorpe, bookseller. Whilst Mr. Lloyd was the possessor, the M.S. was lent to Dr. Lingard, whose note of thanks to Mr. Lloyd is preserved in the volume. From Thorpe it ap pears to have passed to Mr. Heber, la the sale of whose MSS., in February, 1636, by l‘itr. Evans of Pall-mall, it was purchased by the British Museum for 81. Bs." This very singular and interesting work is now presented in a very complete and com modious form. The general reader will find much entertainment in its pages, while its -value as a standard and historical work renders it indispens able to every library. The Poetical Works of TfriWan?, Cowper.

Edited by Forbes Winslow. "British -Asylums for the Insane" is a su .bject taken under consideration in this volume. A great deal of information is afforded by the statistict & here presented to the readers. It is proposed to con tinue the analyses of several more asylums on a future occasion. An article is met with . on. Epi lepsy, in which descriptions are given in Beta it of that extraordinary disease, its; character, syi npt oms, and subsequent effects on the..%sufferer. lie last lecture on " Medico-Legal Evidence in ( vases of Insanity" is also found in this number. In the course of these remarks several curious an. ~ ! cdotes are given regarding trials for lunacy and the evi dence adduced,,&c. One of the most singular nar ratives is that of Dr. Haslam. When questioned as to whether Miss Bagster was of sound min d, ho replied, " I never saw any human being win ) was of sound mind." In conclusion, the Lecturer ob serves that he is unwi i lling to appear deficien t n respect for the groat and learned mon .o f for. tner times, but that it is allovrable to ask if noimprove ments have been made since the days of Lord Coke, Judge Blackstone, Lord.

The Church of England Quarterly. This quarterly, which is chiefly devoted - to the consideration of theological topics, opens - with a paper on Archdeacon's Desison's docirine. It is followed by a subject more generally interesting— namely, " remade Education in Inelia," which enters into consideration of the promise and oppor tunity afforded by the Hindoo race of enlighten ment and education. An account of "Flemish Language and Literature" gives some very inter esting sketches and extracts of some recent Flemish works. They appear to possess much merit. A. paper on " The Sabbath Question," now unfortu tunately so much under discussion, takes a very decided view of the subject, and seems to imply that the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sunday would destroy all religious feeling and public mo rality in this country. It is unhappily too much the custom to rush into extremes on such topics, and the disputants, while attaching unlimited im portance to a mere matter of fbrm, forget to consi der if their recriminations and accusations are alto gether consistent with the highest of Christian vir tues—charity. An article on "Ethnology and Topography" contains some curious considerations on the construction of the classic languages.
