CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 20.—Our Market was well supplied with Wheat this morning from Essex and Kent • in the ear l y part of the day fine samples were taken off readily at an advance of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter from this day week, but towards the close, the sales became heavy, and there was a considerable quantity of the in- ferior sorts left unsold ; having a good supply of Barley, it may be noted from Is. to 2s.lower than this day week. Our arrivals of Oats being large, they may be considered Is. lower. In tease and Beans there was no alteration. Flour remained the same. SAttrurt E FEn. 20.—This day's Market had a middling supply of prime Beasts, and the show of Cattle in general was pretty good; Beef, Mutton, Veal, and Pork, supported last priees ; and the trade, for the most part, was somewhat I:risk. The sales in the Hay-market were rather lively; hay, Straw, and Clover, obtained last prices. FAITH IN DnEams.—Abou t eight years ago, John Smith, a baker, at Southampton, dreamt that a particular Number would be drawn a Capi tal Prize : although but. in moderate ,circum stances, he came to London post, 'and bought a share of the Ticket, which was, the same Lottery, actually drawn. a Prize of 20,0001. The two brothers, Janes's, of Westminster, each got a part of a 20,0001. Prize in the same manner ; and in the very last Lottery drawn, Two Shares of the 40,0001. were gained by a -dream. These extra ordinary occurrences, which stamp 'the truth of . the adage—" 'Tis better to be . born Lucky than , Rich--may account for the unprecedented num ber of bespoke tickets, at the Bank of England, for the present Golden Lottery, to be drawn the, 5-th of APRIL. containing Three prizes of Thirty ThOusand Pounds, with 5000 Guineas, to be paid in Gold, as soon as drawn. fatn:ly quarrel, made an attem p t to Assacs:- nate him whil e he was r ea di ng a paper.

Extract of a private Letter from on board the Majestic Nothing could equal .the gallant style in which HOPE went up into close action with the President,, when the rest of the squadron were so far astern, notwithstanding the galling fire from the enemy's stern chase guns. The judgment displayed in his position, as well as the steady and . well-directed fire of the Endymion, do HoPE much honour and our service great credit, for never was an action better sustained, nor more effect pro (leed by any ship's fire. The President received 25 shots through her, below her ports ; 12 were' under the water line, and as she bad six feet wa ter in her hold when DECATUR struck, he was in a fair way of being sunk it he had not done so. The loss on board the President was very great, but they will not own t!o the amount; however, in collectin g the prisoners, we found that they were an hundred short of the number borne on the books in the connnencernent of the action, Some men, it was said, jumped overboard after she struck, Three of her Lieutenants were killed, and forty wounded were taken on board." • JOHN BULL AND THE Y.ANKEES MC Yankees boasted, that at sea John Bull with them could never cope; • John laughing answer'4, " that may be, But still to thrash you, I've a Hope!"
