OCTOBER 29, 1851 " My life is an open book," said KossuTa yester day evening, on the occasion of the banquet at South ampton. He was alluding to his calumniators; and in so doing unwittingly vindicated those who have recently accorded him welcome by so many and such very splendid demonstrations. Yet attacks of the vilest description are still directed against the charac ter of the illustrious Hungarian. His assailants appear to be bereft at once of all decency and of all discretion. History is nothing to them, when com pared with the hypothetical statements embodied in the mendacious brief from which they are now diurnally addressing themselves to the popu lation. The result of this shameless pro ceeding has already been sufficiently conspicuous in the enthusiasm with which the Liberator of Hun gary has been greeted by all classes in the United Kingdom. According to the braggart assurances of these slanderers—these diggers-up of the foulest offal of detraction from we know not what despicable holes and corners—the exiled leader of the Magyars, branded with the notorious fact of their condemna tion, was to sink into obscurity and insignificance immediately upon his arrival on the shores of England. . Since these somewhat prema ture anticipations were expressed the prophets of disgrace to KossuTu have themselves been compelled to proclaim iyo the world the grandeur of the demon stration with which his appearance amongst us has b een notified. Addresses, it wauld seem, a e:v e en from their own r eluctant acknowled g m ents , h of' poured in upon th e ex p atriated chieftain from allranks th e community , and have been presented to him in se veral instances b y the recognised heads of o ur mu nicipalities.linable as they, therefore, have f ound themselves themselves to stem the current of popular opi n i on in reference to Louls KOSSUTH, these sinister opponents of Hungary and apologists of Austria, opponents o f liberty and apologists of absolutism, friends of au tocracy and enemies of civilization, have turned the arrow s of their depreciation from the immediate ob ject, and directed them against the principal pro moters of the recent KOqSUTH demonstrations. Sa gacious as they are ints upon many points they they seem to be bli n d upon this—that thEir ridicule is, in the esti mation of the public at large, the most desirable panegyric, their calumnious to vituperation the most brilliant testimo n i a l as charact er , th e i r no i s i es t in vectives the strongest claims that can be displayed for popularity. S uc h lir ' c l uestju nlblY have been the effects of their latest evidences of virulenc e . Th ey have endeavoured t o p roc l a i m the infamy i n of . the blo o d rev a.; a hot-headed demagogue, sPz!cul a ' tin ei g utns KOSSUTH crable and money squandered about by have, on the contrary , while acting in this e•xThey manne r, only tended very materially to enhance fervour of the mu ltitude in their manifestations of sympathy for the great and glorious champion of the Hungarians. Yesterday was in many respects not the least re markable testimony yet afforded of the inefficacy o f their miserable efforts at misrepresentation. Kossirrn was feasted with all imaginable cordiality in the ban qnetting-room of the Guildhall, at Southampton. THE SUN, The worthy MAYON of the locality on this very inter esting occasion crowned the merits of the whole of his recent hospitalities by the manner in which last evening he presided over the festivities. It will be, we doubt not, with many agreeable recollections that the illustrious recipient of these popular testimonies of admiration will call to mind the circumstances of his entrance into Hampshire, and of the feelings with which he was everywhere received by its inhabitants. Being now settled down in something like quietude at his temporary residence in Eaton-square—having arrived in the metropolis early this morning so as to avoid for once the fatigues of a public demonstration KossUTH may at length, we hope, be enabled to recruit his strength prior to his welcome early to morrow in the Guildhall by the members of the London Corporation. It is understood that the cere mony of presenting the address of that important body to the distinguished stranger will take place possibly as early as ten o'clock A.m., so that any effort that may be made to greet KOSSUTH on his passage to and fro between the City and the West-end should be prepared betimes, and prepared too with all possible enthusiasm. Let not the citizens of our metropolis be surpassed in earnestness of feeling by those of Winchester. Let not the Liberals of London and Westminster allow themselves to be surpassed in fervour of sentiment by the generous-hearted inhabitants of Southampton. KOSSUTH deserves, if ever man deserved, the love and admiration of a free people. Our provincial fellow countrymen have shown him that he possesses thesis results of a popular sympathy not by one solitary but by several enthusiastic demonstrations. It would only be reasonable therefore, on the part of the free minded and outspoken citizens of the capital, to afford the great refugee another and still more striking evidence of the fair and enviable light in which he is regarded by the British population. At the same time we should deeply regret to witness any repeti- tion of those very indecent displays of an enthusiasm, by no means called for, or desiderated, by which the proceedings at Southampton and elsewhere have been rather unfortunately deteriorated. We would have the feelings of the illustrious Hungarian somewhat more scrupulously regarded. We would have it remembered that he more than any other politician in Europe is no partisan whatever. He en tertains principles identical with not one of those po litical parties which may be enumerated in this country. He is an advocate of Constitutional Liberty, and what is more, of Constitutional Government into the bargain. He is the friend of no one class in par ticular, but of all classes indiscriminately. He is the promoter of improvement and development in every popular institution, but at the same time is a resolute upholder of order in the administration. Never, perhaps, was any leader of a nation more capacitated to receive a wel come from all classes, irrespectively of any party opinions whatsoever, for never was any such leader less identified with any exclusive sentiments or re stricted principles. KOSSUTH should be respected and honoured by the working men because he was the upholder of the rights of the labourer and the cherishes of the interests of industry. KOSSUTH at the same time should be respected and honoured equally by the wealthier division of the community because he was the upholder of property and the maintainer of the laws of possession. These truths should be remembered now that the great exile is amongst us ; and the representa tives, or so called representatives of a single class, no matter what that class may be, should abstain alto gether from thrusting upon him any demonstration which he may deem to be unadvisable under existing circumstances. KOSSUTH is here as the guest of England—in the name of decency and of hospitality alike, let him not be tormented by his popularity, or wearied by importunate tributes to his reputation. Nearly two months have elapsed since we directed the public attention to the extraordinary negligence of the Government with respect to the earnest re. commendations of the Select Committee on Steam Communication with India, &c. The culpable apathy orovioli c sly exhibited had even at that period excited the strongest condemnation in the City, more espe- cially among parties trading, or having any commer cial relations, with In%lia, and who were consequently more immediately interested in the result. The report of the Committee had received the unequivocal approval of three members of the Government, one a Cabinet Minister, and the very Minister on whom the duty of acting in the matter would devolve. Why, then, should Sir CHARLES WOOD, having affixed his signa ture to a document which stated that the existing contract would expire in December, 1852, and "that any new parties competing would require at least 18 months, after their offer is accepted, to prepare for the due performance of their engagements"—why should he waste several precious weeks without giving any intimation of the Ministerial intentions, and possibly thus deprive the public of the benefits that might otherwise be derived from the protracted and valuable labours of the Com mittee ? It appeared perfectly inexplicable that when the report had been published on the 29th of July nothing should have been done until the Bth of S.ep tember, that six weeks should have been frittered away through the carelessness of an official ! 3 Since that period seven weeks more have passed away, and we find from a correspondence which has just appeared in a provincial contemporary, the Ply mouth Times, that matters remain in statu quo, and that nothing, literally nothing, has as yet been decided on. No tender for performing the necessary service ha s been called for, and, what is still more important, the conditions of the contract have not been published• Nothing definite has been announced, and the pro gress of an important undertaking is suspended until Sir CLIALLE3 WOOD can make up his mind on the subject, or, hiving made up his mind, can so far " screw up his courage to the sticking-place" as to make public the result of his deliberations. We should be sorry to accuse the Right. Honour• able Baronet of any desire to perpetuate the existing monopoly, or to deprive the public of a bi-monthly communication, carried out in two distinct services, but we are compelled to say that if such had been his object ho could not have adopted a more efficient mode of achieving it than by maintaining, as he has done, an unbroken silence for no less than three calendar months from the publica tion of the repert. The correspondence above alluded to contains a remonstrance from the directors of the Plymouth Great Western Dock Company to the board of management of the Eastern Steam Navi gation Company, as to the lapse of so long a period without the commencement of active opera tions on their part, and requesting " such explanations as they can consistently afford as to the cause of this delay and the probability of its termination." This reasonable request was accompanied by a statement of the steps adopted by the shareholders of the Dock Company to provide the necessary accommodation for the other company's vessels. They, it appears, have made every arrangement to commence the works, which will require some considerable time, but no conclusive measures can be adopted until they are informed whether the accommodation which they are willing to provide, will actually be required. In answer to this application, the directors of the Na vigation Company ha v e put forward a reply, through their secretary, in which they remove the onus from their own shoulders' borne. and transfer it to those by which it should f a i r l y be c h has disappointment to the director s Afterexpressing taken placetheirthey state natural regret at the delay that u " it is a source of m that any occasion should have occurred to impede the active development of the objects for which the Comp any Eastern Steam Navigationis constituted. Tney had certain l y hoped that, after the unanimous and highly favourable report of Lord Jocz L N ' s Committee, of which t h r ee memb ers of her MAJES TY'S Government formed a part, that some immediate steps would have been taken to carry the recommen. dation of that report into effect, by establishing a competing line of steam communication with the east, —and in anticipation of such a result, the directors of this company had not hesitated, on their own respon sibility, to enter into contracts with shipbuilders and engineers of the greatest eminence for the immediate construction of several first-class vessel», which are to be at the disposal of this company whenever obey succe e d in Govern: in obtaining a p of the m a il s : , eut contracts for the conveyance But while they have thui done all take advantage of the favourable op portunity, BO soon as the Government will enable LONDON, them to act, they are, in justice to themselves and to their numerous and influential constituency, com pelled to state that, " until they are placed in this position, it would be impossible for their company to enter into advantageous competition with another com pany who have an extensive contract for the con veyance of the mails. In accordance, therefore, with their original prospectus, the directors have refrained from Making any call on their shareholders, until they have made such terms with her MAJESTY'S Government as, in their judgment, will justify them in so doing?' They further state that " having obtained a Charter of Incorporation, limiting the liability of the share holders, and their deed of settlement being signed by a most respectable proprietary, they would not hesi tate to recommend them to embark at once, and actively, in the prosecution of their undertaking, if the transport of letters was left open to free compe tition, and, looking at the recent discoveries in Australia, and their probable consequences in the increase of traffic with that colony, they would not hesitate to recommend the immediate establishment of a line of steamers between Singapore and Sydney." Any decision would enable them to act. They might carry out their original intentions either with or without a contract for the conveyance of mails, but, as they justly remark, "their efforts as a company are paralyzed by the state of uncertainty in which they , remain as to the intentions of her MAJESTY'S Govern- L ment. They entertain confident expectations, bow ever, that the period is not distant when those uncer tainties will be removed, and when they shall bo in • the gratifying position of announcing the active pro- I secution of their undertaking in which the welfare of the docks is so much involved." We now ask, then, on behalf of the country, whe ther anything is really to be done by the Go vernment, or whether the report of Lord JOCELYN'S Committee is to be consigned to the /imbch.whioh is said to be paved with good intentions? Strfar as the particular companies are concerned, we have no interest one way or the other, save that as members of society we must recognise the impolicy of dis couraging enterprises calculated to produce very beneficial results to the commercial com munity. But these untoward, these unaccount able delays must be deeply injurious, inas much as they must either prevent the establish ment of a competing company, or by largely increas ing the expenses of that company, by compelling them to make the arrangements within little more than twelve months, which, according to the opinio❑ of the Committee, it would take at least eighteen months to complete, induce them to demand a higher scale of remuneration. For all these annoyances and inconveniences we are in debted to Sir CHARLES WooD, who will not disturb his vacation by any reference to business. We trust that if the Right Hon. Baronet cannot be induced to act, even in a matter of such pressing emergency, some of his colleagues many undertake the task on his behalf, and that the question of Steam Commu nication with India may not be shelved for a further indefinite period. THE FIEN I ,H REPUBMC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Constitutionnel gives the following anticipa. ;ory resume of the forthcoming message of the PRE 81DENT :- " Ic is true that the great political game is to commence on the ath Novemlyr, and will b 3 played and decided over the heads of Ministers. The affair will take place between the Assembly and the President . . It remai. ato be seen if the message will be a challenge. The mes sage, if we are well informed, will be lull of wisdom and good sense; it will cause to pass, as it were, in re view before ua that numerous and powerful demagogical army which threatens France and Europe. Between the National Assembly which refuses the revision, and the two millions of petitioners, the eighty councils-general which demand it, there is a natural and sovereign arbi trator—the country. The President of the Republic, opening of his own will the arena to all pretenders, de mands an immediate appeal of this arbitrator. It is not more wise to put an end in the month of November, be fore the claims of all kinds which become due at the end of the year, to the fever of uneasiness which will pre vail in the public mind, than to wait on a bed of agony fur the crisis of 1852? If in this election, approved by the prudence of the National Assembly, accomplished under the most absolute univeral suffrage, and when it will be allowed to vote for every one, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte a second time obtains a majority of votes, he will appeal to the wisdom of the present representatives to modify the Constitution. Let any sensible man be applied to: will the country in the midst of the dangers hich increase every day, incur the risk of being sub merged under the tumultuous waves of the election of a Constituent, and would it not be threatened with de struction under the storms which would take piece during the arduous and tumultuous labours of this new Assembly? The President of the Republic will confine himself to pointing out some important points to be trcat«l of in the new Constitution, such as the abolition of tho scrutin . de Bate, and the co-existence of two Chambers. Since we are in the vein for prophecy, we will go still further, and we will Fay, confident as we are of the elevated sentiments and the disinterestedness of the representatives most engaged—we will say, with joy for the future tate of civilization and of our society, that Franca will he once more saved, and that everything will be settled by honourable and patriotic compromises." In another article in the same journal, bearing the signature of M. GRANIER CASSAGNAC (ex man-of-all work to M. Guizoz), the appointment of a Military Dictatorship is recommended. The Patrie, the Pays, and the Presse, as supporters of the personal preten sions of Louts NAPOLEON, are of course sup porters of the new Ministry, which is also supported by the Legititnatist Gazette de France. The ap pointment as Minister of the Interior of M. DB TuoaiGetv, who has as an advocate successfully de fended the Gazette when under prosecution, has pro bably secured to the Ministry the support of the Legitimatist journal. The other journals, without exception, declare against the new Ministerial combination ; the Debuts, the Ordre, the Assemblee Nationale, the Union, and the Opinion Publigne, vie with each other in their ex pressions of contempt, both for the personnel and policy of the new Cabinet. We give the following from the National as a specimen of the tone adopted by the Republican journals:-- " We have got a Ministry. But have we really got one? The Moniteur affirms it, and it ought to know. We have read the ordinances signed Louis Napoleon Bonaparte; and what more can be demanded? I truth, however, it is an astonishing ministry, but perhaps it will be all the better for that, We have passed fifteen days in stirring up all the names and all the candidateships possible. One day a Billault Ministry was brought to us, the next a Persigny Ministry. M. de Lamartine had his day. M. de Falloux himself was brought forward. There was a good deal of talk about a new Ministry of huts. But no one could have foresee the Mi nistry we possess—the Thorigny Ministry. The President likes to surprise people. If the best guesser had guessed a thousand times he could not have ap proached this admirable combination. Discontented people maintain that M. Lacrosse meddled in the matter, and that the drawing of lots—we mean of portfolios— was made by him between eleven o'clock and midnizht; but we prefer to ascribe all the honour to the President himself. We make war ou him sufficiently, to render him justice once in a way. It is he who has invented the Thorigny Ministry. Thorigny, be it so! The new Minister of the Interior was Advocate-General under Louis Philippe. He has since become an ardent Legi timatist, and as such the affairs of the Republic may safely be confided to him." The Permanent Committee of the National Assem bly met on . Wednesday, General BEDEAU in the chair. After the reading of the minutes of the pre vious sitting, the Committee received M. GIRAUD, the new Minister of Public Instruction, who presented to the President a letter from the PRESIDENT, notifying to the Committee the formation of the new Ministry. After a few observations of no importance the Com mittee adjourned to Thursday next, which will pro bably be its last meeting. The sitting of yesterday did not last more than half an hour. The new Minister of the Interior, M. DE Two- RIGNY, has chosen for chef de cabinet M. DE MAUROY, wbo filled the same office under M. 13AaounE. BERTHIER, who was the chef de cabinet of M. LEON FAUCHER, has left for his estate, in the department of the Cher. M. PELLETIER, who was the chef de cabinet of M. FOULD, resumes his functions in the division do personnel. He is not replaced as chef de cabinet, the office being provisionally suppressed. A letter from Macon states that M. DE LAMARTINE, who was to leave for Paris on Thursday, has been at tacked with acute rheumatism in his knee, and his medical attendant fears that he will not be able to leave bed for several days. M. DE MAUPAS, the new Prefect of Police, has published the following proclamation : " INHABITANTS OF PARIS, "A decree of the President of the Republic has in vested me with the functions of Prefect of Police. My first desire is to command yuur confidence. That senti ment once mutual would be for me the surest condition of the success of my mission. The most important of nay duties and the, object of my most strenuous exertions, will be to maintain public tranquillity, to oppose au insuperable barrier to the spirit of anarchy, to respond by an energetic attitude to the menaces of the eternal enemies of society, to defeat their culpable manoeuvres, and to reduce them to im potence.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for export. The market was tame without altera tion in prices.—Railway Shares were lower again, with but little business doing. The mercantile markets have opened rather firmer this week for Coffee and Rum, Tallow is in request at the reduced rates, and Cotton dull still. A good deal of Flax is coming forward from Petersburgh, it is said, on Russian account. The public sales of produce are nu merous to-day. Wool sells briskly still. The creditors of Messrs. Spencer, Ashlin, and Co . have determined to accept a dividend of 4s. in the pound, but the concurrence of one or two parties is yet to be obtained. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 27th ult. wa s steady for Dutch securities. Spanish Bonds were with out variation. Portuguese were in demand and Austrian firm. There was a trifling decline in the rates of exchange upon one or two of the continental cities yesterday afternoon, but this was counterbalanced by a slight ad vance on other places. Paris brought for three months' paper 25 42i to 45, Amsterdam 11 10} to 4, Ilamburgh 13 10i to 11, and Trieste 12 30 to 40. The English Stocks have been very steady and less buoyant than they were a day or two since. The pur chase of the Com.eissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt has been smaller, and the tenor of the French news is against the market. Consols have been 97i 4.

The deputies were rapidly arriving in Madrid for the opening of the Cortes on the sth November. The committee on the Bill for establishing a new tariff has almost terminated its labour, and the Bill is to be one of, the first presented to the Chambers. No Royal speech is to be delivered on the opening of the Cortes. The accouchement of the QUEEN is ex pected in November. The steamer Isabel had arrived at Cadiz with several of the Cuban prisoners.

A general election has just taken place in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburgh, and, contrary to ex pectation, the Conservative party has obtained a majority. Since 1848 the GRAND DUKE had four times dissolved the Assembly, as too democratic, but every time the electors chose a new Parliament equally democratic. These Assemblies repeatedly re fused to make the modifications in the Constitution of 1848 which the GRAND DUKE considered necessary ; but it is not doubted that the new Assembly, being Conservative, will satisfy his wishes. The New Prussian Gazette states that, in conse quence of the discovery of a democratic conspiracy, numerous arrests have been effected at Lemberg, Cracow, and other places. The Count DE HATZFELD, Prussian Ambassador to France, who left Berlin a few days ago to return to Paris, fell ill on arriving at Drensteinfurt, and will have to remain there several days. A letter from Vienna of the 24th, i❑ the National Gazette of Berlin, states that several eminent bankers had waited on the Austrian Minister of Finance, to speak to him on the fall in the public funds. They ascribed the cause of this fall to the fear of disturb ances breaking out at Penis. The Minister replied that there was reaeoa to hope that there would be no events in Paris to disturb general peace. The Gazette of the Empire of Vienna contains details, down to the 18th, of the EMPEROR'S stay at Lemberg. Rejoicings of all kinds had taken place, and the greatest enthusiasm had been shown for the Eeirmiort. NORWAY. The closing of the Storthing of Norway has already been announced. In a speech delivered on the occasion, in the KING'S name by the Minister of the Interior, it was stated that the disturbances in Norway bad been caused by the Communists, but that they had been easily put down, and the hope was expressed that they would not be renewed. Satisfaction was also intimated at the voting of a Bill authorising the raising of a loan of about 9,000,0001. for the execution of a railway from Christiana to the lakes Rieren and Miosen. An English company has undertaken the works of the railway, the whole ex pense of which is estimated at 11,000,0001. The Government has made an arrangement by which it will take half the shares without receiving any divi dend on them until 5 per cent. shall be secured to the shareholders. ITALY. --- The following note, dated the 23d ult., has been addressed to the Marquis FORTUNATO, Minister of Foreign Affairs at Naples, to the English Minister in that city : " The undersigned has read the answer given by Lord Palmerston to the King's Minister in London, end he has the honour to observe to the Minister of the given of England to the Court of the Two Sicilies, that the formal prohibition imposed by international right upon every Government against intervening in the acts of internal administration of other states, so long as those acts are not injurious to its own security, being admitted as indubitable, it is to be presumed that the only object of the Noble Lora in charging with injus tice and want of prudence the conduct of the agents of the Government of Naples, with regard to persons accused of political crimes, was doubtless to preserve the kingdom from fresh perturbations. In this case, it would have been necessary to inquire whether the faults of which Mr. Gladstone, in his letters to the Earl of Aberdeen, accuses the agents of the Neapolitan Go vernment were false or were true. If those accusations were true, what course could have been more proper than to inform the Government of them, in order that it might cause them to cease, as was its duty. The question being established on these terms, which is the only proper one, the Noble Viscount had only to apply to the English Minister on this subject. His long residence at Naples, his assiduity, in attend ing the trial of the sect of the Unita Italiana, and others of the same kind, his perfect acquaintance with the country, and his well•known good faith and probity, with which the undersigned is fully inspired, give to him the conviction that his Ex cellency would nave shown the gross errors, not to nse a more severe expres,ion, into which Mr. Gladstone had been led by the implacable enemies of social order, and of which his pamphlets are so full. In this way it would not have been necessary for persons to take the trouble these errors one by one, for it could have authentic and incontestable documents. The ob been :Noblee exposing x p done 1. r o s l i s n c hg o y unt, who is one of the most distinguished and celebrated statesmen of Europe, could not be ignorant that the defamation put forth by Mr. Gladstone, instead of producing the effect which he said he proposed, might have produced a very different effect, for insults, instead of calming the minds of men, irritate t h em , and particularly when addressed to those on whom they have not the slightest authority, and who regard above all their honour and independence. The undersigned regrets being forced to allude to so painful a subject, but he will find consolation in thinking that the Noble Viscount, when once enlightened as to the truth, will adopt such a determination, as in his wisdom and j u stice he will think proper, to destroy the illusion in which it has been attempted to envelope him. With this object the undersigned, in addition to the copies of the pamphlet already sent to the English Minister, for wards twenty-eight more copies, and takes this occasion, although a disagreeable one, to renew his sentiments of high consideration." LE VIN T MAIL. By the Levant mail, we have received Constanti nople papers to the 14th, and Athens journals to the 18th. The former contain an account of several changes in the public departments, but only one in the Ministry, which is the appointment of MOUS TAPIIA-IZZET-PACHA, member of the Council of State, as Minister of Commerce and Public Works, in place of ISMAIL PACHA, who has resigned. No other fact of any interest is mentioned in those journa's• The Courrier d' Athenes announces the death of 03AIIN EFFENDI, Chargé d'Affaires of the Ottoman Porte.

THE LATE CHILD MURDER. IN WESTMINSTER. -- Last evening Mr. Langham held an inquest at the Feathers, Deane-street, Westminster, on Elizabeth Reynolds, aged 17 months, who, as has been already s tated in our police re port, was murdered by her mother's paramour. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Wm. Blennis ter." Deceased's mother is only 20 years of age, and the prisoner 21. THE NEW TRAMWAY IN WOOLWICH DOCKYARD. —For the purpose of facilitating the general progress of the public works in the dockyard, the Lords of the Admiralty some time since determined that the area should be traversed by a new paved tramway. In order to select the most ap propriate material for this purpose, under their Lordships' directions, various experiments in a variety of stone, &c., have been made, and the board in consequence forwarded instructions that Messrs. Orisi and Arrnani's patent metallic lava shall cover the entire surface of the tramway, and this part of the work is to be immediately proceeded with. HIGH TlDE.—Yesterday the waters of the Thames flowed unusually high, and about five' o'clock in the after noon washed over the wharfs at Ilungerford and the Adelphi, and the Temple-gardens. The open area in front of Lam beth Palace was covered with water, and at Fore-street, Lambeth, the tide extended across the street, and extra accommodation was required at the steam-boat piers to land and embark passengers.

By land carriage the receipts of that grain fresh up to-day were small; hence the show of samples of bot h red and white was limited. Owing to the thin attendance of . buyers, the dem an d was in a very sluggish state, at prices barely equal •to tho s e obtained on Mo nda y . No Foreign Wheat has reached us; yet we were well supplied with g ranar i e d parcels, in which on l y a limited business was transacted ' at unaltered quot ations. No fresh Forei g n Barle y was brought forward; and the show of English was small. The trade ruled firm, at full currencies. A ste ady in quiry existed for Malt, at fully late rates. There was rather more doing in Oats, and good sound corn was a trifle dearer. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour so ld at stationary prices. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. ' -- Wheat. ' Barley. Malt. I . \Qrs.
