Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states--Arrivals of all articles have been moderate during the past week, and a fair consumptive demand for most articles of the trade, espe cially for the best runs of red wheat, which continue to form a small proportion of our weekly import. The now undoubted commencement of actual fighting between the Danes and Ger mans, with the consequent present or very early blockade of the Prussian and Mecklenburg ports, as well as those of the Jande, Elbe, and Weser, will put an end to those large sup plies of grain which we have recently had to report, and this circumstance may fairly be expected to have some influence upon prices on this side, for it is quite certain, whatever doubt may exist as to the holdi n g of f armers , that less foreign grain of all descripticns was hardly ever known to be, held in this port, and the different inland markets which draw their sup plies by way of the Humber. We had again only a mode rate show of wheat for our market of this day, and owing to the impi-oved tone in Mark-lane, and the fcreign news referred to above, more money was generally asked, and in some in stances complied with to the extent of Is per quarter for picked samples. We are not able to quote any actual advance in foreign, but there were more buyers than sellers at last week's rates. Rather more business passing in malting barley, and the price of last week fully maintained, while the low rates taken for grinding qualities attract attention. Beans are tully Is dearer than last week, and not many afloat. A somewhat improved inquiry for peas, but in oats we have no alteration. The transactions in linseed are very unimportant, and we are without arrivals. There is a fair sale for cakes, both English and foreign, at our quotations.

From foreign ports we have moderate arrivals of wheat and Indian corn, but small of other articles. Our exports of wheat, Indian corn. and barrel flour in the same time show a gradual increase, which is satisfactory. With the exception of a brisk demand for Indian corn at an advance of 6d per quar ter, the trade has been exceedingly quiet, without material variation in prices. The weather has teen rainy and crid, but on the whole as favourable for the country as could be desired. At this day's market there was a good attendance of the town and country trade, and a considerable amount of business was done in wheat at an advance:of Id to 2d per 701 b on pi ices of this day week. Oats were in good request, but not dearer. Oat meal hung heavily on hand, holders asking rather more money. For barley, beans, and peas there was only a retail sale, with out change in value. An extensive demand was experienced for barrel flour, and 6d advance on the week was realised, but sack flour remained neglected. Indian corn was in brisk re quest, but prime yellow, being scarce, readily brought 31s per quarter. In Indian meal there was not much done. LEEDS, APRIL 10.-- We have a large supply of wheat to.dsy, principally foreign; the finest qualities are a shade dearer than this day week, but we can quote no alteration in the value of other descriptions. Barley is rather lower, and none but the best can be sold, except at extreme low rates. Oats and beans the same as befire. BARNET GI: EAT CATTLE FAIR — SECOND DAY.—Yes terday this fair was equally well attended by salesmen and graziers as th e fi rst day. Business commenced much earlier, several lots of the best store beasts being sold by eleven o'clock, at rather better prices. The business in the horse fair was very brisk. The best cart horses keeping up the first day's prices, as high as 65 guineas being given in many in stances; second-rate, 25 to 4 0 guineas each. Th ere were some large purchases made of nag horses a t 25 to 35 guineas d each, for the use of the French Government. Ponies und er p n p f ric l e b . . ,pigs, in plentiful 13 hands fully maintained the first da y 's p rices, 12 to 15 guineas each being the common bacon hogs, 3s 6d to 4s per stone storePigswe re 8 to 35s each ; sucking pigs, 7s to lOs each. There is but little stock of any kind left for this day's fair. ROIESIY FAIR, APRIL 10.—Cheese—The exact quantity of cheese brought for sale yesterday and this day was 294 tons, of which only 126 tons found buyers, leaving 168 tons to be stored for Lymington (Hants) on the 12th of May. So in different a sale was never witnessed at Romsey. The large quantity of American cheese coming into England causes the English to be in less demand, though the reduction since last spring has been from 6/ to 81 per ton. Top price of Cheddar, 315 s to 31 lOs per . cwt ; best white Somerset, 54s to 58s per cwt ; best thin cheese, 46s to 48s per cwt ; half cowards, 36s to 405 ditto ; skims, 25s to 30s ditto. _ ROCHDALE, APRIL 9.—Flour to-day has been selling at similar prices to those of this day week. There has been very little alterktion in the prices of other articles. BOLTON, APRIL 9.—There has been a good attendance at our market this day, still the demand for flour is limited to needy buyers for immediate use ; and if any clianr in price, it is in favour of the buyer. A good demand for bran, at an id van:, of 6,1 to Is per Had. BOSTON, APRIL 7 We have had a snit,ll supply of wheat to-day, and thow.rh the finest samples were taken at late rates, inferior sorts were fully is per quarter lower.. Very little doing in oats or beans. GLOUCESTER, APRIL 7.—Our market this day was thinly attended. English wheat found ready •buyers at fully last week's rates, foreign remaining nominally the same, but with few transactions reported. In barley, beans, and oats, the sales made are at about former prices. NOTTINGHAM, APRIL 7.—The show of grain in our market to-day is fully equal to the demand; for the general runs of wheat buyers have a slight advant ge. but the tineet qualities arc eagerly taken up. We have no variation in price for any other article. WISBECII, APRIL 7.—We continue to receive moderate supplies; but, owing to the dull accounts from most of the consuming markets, we have a slow trade for wheat to-day, at barely last week's prices. Oats and beans in good demand, except for the inferior descriptions, and they are rather cheaper. WORCESTER, APRIL 7.—Our market to-day was fairly sup plied with wheat, and the trade ruled dull for all kinds except fine white, with the turn in favour of the buyer. Barley rather more inquired for, and unaltered in value. For oats we had a fair sale, at rather under former prices. There was some little speculative Inquiry for beans and peas, but without leading to business. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, APLIL 7.—The weather this week has been of js variable character, at times being exceed ingly fine, and at others wet and ungenial. Tu..day it has rained without the slightest intermission from an early hour, • accompanied by an eas'erly wind, which, if it continue, may do injury to the wheat plant. The trade during the present week, has r. led exceedingly quiet ; nevertheless, by submit ting to rather easier rates, a good business was done in wheat and flour. At our market this morning we had a large delivery of wheat from the growers, and owing to the wet state of the weather so materially aff cling its condition, sales could only he promoted by submitting to a reduction of 2s per quarter; but owing to the unsettled state of political affairs on the Continent, factors were not inclined to accept a similar decline upon south country and foreign samples, so that only a few sales resulted. It is difficult to give an opinion how the trade may rule henceforth, but when the low rates at which agricul tural produce is now selling are taken into account, we cannot see much reason for apprehending any further fall in prices. For flour there was only a moderate inquiry, but there seemed no disposition to force sales at any abatement. In rye little I stirring. Malting barley may be written Is per quarter lower, and in slow demand ; and the same remarks will apply to grinding sorts. In beans and peas no material alteration is ' observable. Having a less supply of oats from the country, the trade ruled rather firmer, and a fair extent of business was done at last week's prices DA LKEITII MEAL MARKET, APRIL 9.—The following are the prices at this day's market:— Oatmeal, per sack, of 280 lbs.

LADY ALICE ; OR, THE NEW UNA.—ThIS re markable work seems likely to excite as great a sen sation in religious and literary, as in mere novel-reading circles. 7he Court Journal is in doubt whether to de termine it a first production of an entirely unknown author, or the to .nymous venture of such established favourites as Bulwa- or Disraeli; and predicts that it ' will excite an intense interest. The Examiner dwells upon the philosophic peculiarities of this curious book, and advises the reader 'to get it and judge for himself; as it is " one of the most extraordinary combinations of the several styles of novel that has befallen us in our critical experienc9." The Weekly Chronicle observes that „" it is the strangest and most exciting story that has for a long time appeared, and no person will put it out of his hand till he has gone through it." " The novel is intended," (says the Britannia) "to give the reader an idea of the manners and habits of persons moving in the highest circles of fashionable life. The author does not scruple to introduce the Queen herself amongst the characters of the book. It is evidentlyltbe production of an ardent disciple of Dr. Pusey. It will find many admirers amongst his followers, and will very likely bo placed as a class-book in the hands of the pupils at some of the modern establishments presided over by Lady Superiors, and visited by Father Con fessors of the . church o England!" MODERN TRAVELLING.—The following is. an ac count of one of the hest day's work, in the way of business and trav-lling, of which we have heard for some time. On Thursd a y wee k an extensive farmer, in the neighbourhood ut lilairgowrie, left home at four o'clock A.M., in his gig, and arrived at Perth a little before six, at which hour he started for Glasgow by the Scottish Central, and arrived here at 9.30, when lie im mediately proceeded to the cattle market, and transacted business, which was rendered easy by his servants having preceded him. lie remained in Glasgow doing business till one o'clock, when be started fur Edinburgh, where ne arrived at 2.30, and had leisure for business till five. At this hour he set off by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway to Perth, reached the "Fair City" at 7.43, where he resumed his gig, and arrived at his own house near Blairgowrie at ten o'clock. To make a summary, this active person made a round of the heart of Scotland, by gig and rail, embracing a mileage of about 160 miles, bad more than six hours' leisure for business, and arrived at his own house before the usual hour for retiriug to bed.—Daily Mail (Glasgow). STATE OF TRADE.—MANcEtEsTEn.--The feeling in the market to-day is not, of a favourable character. The news of the commencement of hostilities between Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein has had a very de pressing influence. Some inquiry is being made for the Mediterranean and Indian markets. Prices of yarns for Germany are greatly depressed. There has been a slight decl-nsion in the rates of last week. The Easter holidays, and the present unsettled state of the CArrinent, are given as the principal cause of this dul ness in our trade.
