Although it is Impossible to give a conscientious opinion of the details of a work conta ning upwards of two thousand pages from a hasty examination of them, yet we have no reason to suppose that errors such as those we pointed out In a former volume exists in this. As a cursory test we took up the names of some individuals who have been affected by very recent changes, and find that these changes are duly notified. As regards price, this book is perhaps the cheapest thirty shillings' worth ever Issued from the press. frlars-road is some three-quarters of a mile long ; you have to go to a particular house, but you know not whereabouts the number is— whether at the Bridge or the Obelisk end, or any intermediate po nt. You turn tothe " Street Directory," and find that No. 197 is next door to Aurrey Chapel, celebrated of yore as Rowland Hill's. Even if you have no local knowledge, a simple division of the numbers will tell you whether the house you seek is towards the ends or middle of the street. And this is only one incidental use of the remarkable volume. PUBLICATIONS.

Author of " Wayside Pictures through France, Belgium, and Holland." GLOBE, NOVEMBER 23, 1849. The fifty-first edition, that for 1850, of this long-established and useful publication, has just been published,and falls in no way behind its predecessors either in its typography, accuracy, or ar rangements, The volume before us contains no less than 2,088 pages, being an increase, since 1844, of 233 pages ; and, notwith standing the increased size, the price remains the same, viz., 30'. The present volume brings down to the latest date all infor mation respecting the residences, &c., of the members of the Legis lature and the Government, of the nobility and gentry, and of the memhers of the various professions and trades carried on in the me tropolis. A work of such accuracy and general utility is an in dispensable reqaisite in the counting<house and shop of every trader, and in the office of every professional man. As in the previous volumes, the contents are carefully arranged under the , ollowing heads .—" The Official," " the Street," "the Commercial," " the Trades," " the Law," " the Court," " the Parliamentary," " the Postal," " the City," " the Conveyance," " the Banking," and " the Assurance Directories ;" and by the aid of a copious index which is prefixed, any information which may be required can be got without trouble or loss of time.

Kelly and Co. have again been manifested in the publication of the " Post-office Direc tory," which comes forth at the appointed time with, if possible, increased claims upon the patronage of those whom it concerns. The energy which has been shown, for half a century past, upon the production of this gigantic volume, has established such a com plete system of machinery as to ensure a degree of accuracy in the periodical correction of the several branches of information whieli It is its province to supply, that a few years ago would have been thought impossible. But there is no mistake in the matter. The Directory of Messrs. Kelly is a masterpiece of unwearied industry, and the only book of a professedly useful and practical character that the merchants and traders of the city of London can NOT do without. It presents at one view an immense compendium of facts, ar anged with such admirable precision and method as to he surely and immediately available. The book is divided into a circle of Directories, each having a specific head—namely, of Government Officials, Streets, Merchants and Tradespeople, Trades, Lawyers, Placemen, Peers and Members of Parliament, Post-office and Civic Functionaries, Conveyances, Banking-houses, and Assurance-offices. The plan thus adopted is replete with advantages, for, if you have forgotten the name of any individual whose residence you desire to know, you find him under his occupation; the latter branch of analysis giving also a comprehensive tableau of the number of persons engaged in each of the multitudinous avocations carried on within the boundaries of the metropolis. The reputation which the " Post-office Directory" enjoys has not been gained without warrant. It has proved itself to be immeasurably superior to all other attempts which have from time to time been made to super sede it ; and it may now be fairly viewed as a book of reference beyond the remotest possibility •f rivalry. That it will maintain this position there can be no doubt, for every year corroborates the public faith in its truth, and witnesses the continuance of that close and critical supervision, without which its credit and its value would greatly diminish. COURT JOURNAL, DECEMBER, 22, 1849. Amongst the many instances of metropolitan industry and skill, we can point to none more remarkable and useful in its way than the " Post-office London Directory." We have but to draw atten tion to the vast extent of this metropolis, 'with its great mass of population, embracing all ranks, professions, and trades, and we may form some notion of the immense labour and energy which must have been expende4 before such materials could have been got into such- a systematic form as that at one glance we can be made acquainted with every street, every house, and every individual, whether amongst the nobility, gentry, merchants, professional men, traders, and tradesmen, with the private residences and places of business of each, within the metropolis and its immediate environs. This publication is not simply one Directory, but comprehends an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," " Commercial Direc tory," " Trades' Directory," " Law Directory," "Court Directory," " Parliamentary Directory," " Postal Directory," "City Directory," "Conveyance Directory," "Banking Directory," &c. The "Street Directory" furnishes the names of the residents in each street or place. The " Commercial Directory" has all these latter in com plete alphabetical order, while the nobility and gentry will be found in similar arrangements in the "Court Directory." The " Trades' Directory" exhibits all the members of each of the two thous•ond trades, classified distinctly—the sub-divisions of each being suitably , distinguished. The " Law Directory "is devoted to the classifica tion of the members of the profession, together with the general legal matters appropriate to a work of this character; while the " rarliamentary Directory " furnishes all requisite information as to Peers and and Members of Parliament, and as to tneir town residences and country seats. The " Postal Directory" gives full instruction on the subject of Money Orders, and of the transmission of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world. The "Conveyance Directory" is devoted to the important subject which its title indica es, as are the "Banking" and "Assurance Directories." Such a mass of similar information was never exhi bited, until the appearance of this work; and when we look at its stupendous appearance we are proud to encourage the undertaking upon national grounds. BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, DECEMBER 22, 1849. No book in existence conveys such a vivid and impressive idea of the magni , ude, wealth, and almost infinite occupations of the dwellers in the metropolis of the world, as the volume now before no. and which has establishe i for its compiler a reputation which will last as long as England shall continue to hold her position among the nations of the earth. Without a careful examination of the contents of this immense volume, it would be impossible to form anything like a correet idea of its value, or of the labour which must have been spent in its compi ation. Certainly no merchant or tradesman, no public or private company, ought to be without a copy. Under ifs twelve separate Directories, London and its professions and trades are so fully and accurately classified, that nothing legitimately belOnging to either of these heads will be looked for in vain. WEEKLY DISPATCH, NOVEMBER 25, 1849. The fifty-first annual publication of this most useful commercial work is now before us. The praise we accorded to former editions may be imported into this notice without the slightest fear of being charged with exaggeration. Everything connected with the volume is marked with unflagging energy, and a desire to send it forth to the public in the most perfect and useful form. The principal matter is comprised under eleven heads, namely:—An "Official Di rectory ;" a " Street Directory ; " a " Trades Directory ;" a " Law Directory ;" a " Commercial Directory ;" a " Court Directory ;" a "Parliamentary Directory;" a " Postal Directory ;" a "City Di rectory ;" a " Conveyance Directory ;" and a 'Banking Directory ;" The " Official Directory" contains an alphabetical list of persons h lding situations in the East India House, Bank of England, the various Law, City, and all other public offices ; list of her Ma esty's Privy Council, the chief offi cers o f St a t e , an of her 3fajesty's Household, &c. The " Street Directory" contains the names and . . residences of private individuals and persons associated with trade and the professions. The " Commercial Directory and Professional Directory" contains an alphabetical list of all persons engaged in business, with an elaborate index, which enables any one, at a glance, to refer to any description of persons, whether brokers, bul lion merchants, artists, agents, or manufacturers. " The Law Di rectory" points to the names of all persons who hold offices in the Court of Chancery, the Court of Queen's Bench, the Common Plea., the Court of Exchequer, the Courts of Bankruptcy, the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, and the nature of those offices ; there is, besides, a complete list of attorneys, and their residences, " The rout Directory" enumerates the names of ladles and gentle men 'unconnected with any trade or profession. "The Parlia mentary Directory" contains a list of the House of Peers, arranged according to their orders of precedence, with their names and residences ; and an alphabetical list of the Members of the House of Commons, with the counties and boroughs they represent, and their London residences and country seats. " The Postal Directory" conveys every information relative to the rates of postage, the limitation of weight of letters, and their size, Etc.; the names of all post-towns, and also of the resident post-masters. The " City Directory" contains the names of the Aldermen and Common-Councilmen, the harbour-masters, market-collectors, a list of sworn brokers, a complete list of London and provincial newspapers, town and country newspaper agents, &c. The " Con veyance Directory" affords every information connected with tke departure and arrival of railway trains ; a list of inns, wharfs, and quays, and the places whence waggons, vans, carts, vessels, barges, and boats leave for inland towns and villages. The "Banking Di rectory" contains a list of banking establishments throughout the country, the limit of the circulation of each, their branches, &c. We have now partially enumerated the counents of this enormous volume, and are bound to pronounce it an honour to this great commercial melon, and to the enterprising publishers. There Is no other work in which se much useful information is imparted, not to the man of business only, but to the Peer and the peasent, seeing that while.every counting-house desk groans under the weight of the Directory, the latter will find no difficulty in seeking access to its pages. EXAIVIINER, DECEMBER 1, 1849. This most useful and admirable book has entered on its second half-century. This is its fifty-first publication. But age adds to its strength and resources, and it was never so elaborate or so accurate as now. It comprises, as we have often said, many Directories, and contains ample information for inquirers of every class. There is no information wanting in it which such a book ought to give, or which dwellers in this great city are likely to require. Its " Official Di rectory" gives the name of every pub is employe, and all needful detail as to the public offices. Its " Street Directory" comprises every class and kind of London resident—an attempt never before made in such a compilation. Under its "Commercial and Trades' Directories" are arranged, in all classes, all who pursue the two thousand various business-occupations with which London is so grievously overstocked. The " CJurt and Law Directories," and those of "Banking and Assurance," have the like merit in their several departments. In the " Postal Directory" we have the some what complex machinery of St. Martin's-le-Grand, and the countless offices and duties therewith connected, made clear and easy of com prehension. Nor is the " Conveyance Directory" less useful. It is obvious that without a strict arrangement and classification such ample and various information as this would be cumbrous and un serviceable. But in its order, divisions, arid condensation, we have perhaps the most characteristic features of this extraordinary com pilation. The " Street Directory" is worth consulting with a view to this. It not only tells you the number of the house you want, but it indicates its position and whereabouts. Let us add that Mr. Kelly's information is brought down to the very latest date, com prising even the present Lords Albemarle and Alranley, and the last election for Cork. BRITANNIA, DECEMBER 1, 1849. Of all the wonders of industry and skill produced by England in the course of the year it would be difficult to single out any one so remarkable as this. We should pronounce the effort impossible, were not its successful ace implishment before us. Let any one con sider the extent of our metropolis from east to west and from north to south—let him traverse some of its more crowded districts, and, passing from broad open lines of thoroughfare, dive down into winding lanes and cross courts, imperfectly known to even the most diligent seeker of " short cuts"—let him then stretch out into the suburbs, and mark the innumerab'e lines of roads branching out in all direction—let him glance as he goest at the various trades and occupations which everywhere meet his eye—and then ask himself what must be the amount of labour required to collect into one book and range alphabetically the name, the abode, and the occupation of every holder of every house in this mighty city. And not only so, but to give, as it were, a chart of every square, street, and alley, indicating every turning, and describing the character of every house, and the name and calling of its inhabitant. Further yet, to collect together every member of every craft in this huge hive of industry, and to exhibit then, scattered as they are and unknown to each other, in a compact form together, so that any one tradesman, be he a butcher, baker, or candlestick maker, may be picked out, without an instant's loss of time, from the crowd of his fellows. The production of such a work, so perfect in all its parts, and so minutely accurate, is a striking proof of our social progress, and, by showing how far the science of human classification may may be carried when men are most thickly packed together, seems to indicate a more advanced stage of social fellowship than we have yet reached. The most ad mir,.ble feature sn this marvellous work is, that its size only adds to its clearness and precision, Exhibiting so readily the humblest name, whi e embracing the metropolis, it puts one - in mind of the trunk of on elephant, which can pick up a needle or root up a tree. One of its peculiarities is. that the whole book seems to have been compiled only the day before it is issued, so lately is every change recorded. Even the typographical execution :is a wonder of accu racy ; and the appearance of the whole work, throughout its two thousand pages and upwards, Is . .fair and uniform, reflecting great credit on the press of the Messrs. Kelly. Success so complete as to drive every competitor from the field has in no way relaxed the ex ertions of the Proprietors to consult the public convenience. The , volume expands with the metropolis itself, and notes every change with the fide , Py of truth itself. Every person who has had occasion to consult it must bear testimony to its judicious arrangement and its inestimable usefulness for ail the varied aims of London busi ness ; and to the great saving of time it effects for all purposes of re ference. In a word, it is the largest collection of facts in the world, and the most complete exposition of the life and industry of the me tropolis that could possibly be desired. JOHN BULL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849. As often as this gigantic volume meets the eye in its annually renewed form, the question rises in the mind, how it is possible to trace, in the ever-shifting stream of London life, each unit of the countless multitude, and to identify on each Individual spot the beings that house and nestle there. And another question follows naturally in the train of the former —how is it possible that such an undertaking can repay the enormous outlay which of necessity it must occasion, at a price, for the size of the volume, so exceedingly moderate. On the latter point, however, the annual re-appearance of the volume, in an ever improved and enlarged form, is a sufficient answer. Patriotic as his laborious undertaking proves Mr. Kelly to be, we apprehend he is too wite a man to push his patriotism to the extreme of making the public a present of 'the volume ; and on the other hand the public is hardly to be supposed so insensible to its own interest and inconvenience, as not to give the abundant encou ragement it deserves to a work so eminently useful. As for the accuracy of the information, down to the latest practicable moment, it se happens that the present year affords several remarkable tests. Two Noble Lords, the Earl of Albemarle and Lord Alvanley, have died within the last month, the Cork election has only just been gazetted, and two Bishops have been created, though neither of them is as yet consecrated. Nevertheless we find, on turning to the Peerage, the two noblemen who have recently succeeded, in their proper places ; Dr. Hind and Dr. 011ivant settled in their sees ; and in the " Parliamentary Directory," Colonel Chat'erton, the new Member for Cork, duly registered. CIIURCII OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY REVIEW, JANUARY, 1850. We well remember a gentleman of a somewhat unimaginative turn, on being appealed to for his opinion of Mr. Dickens's works, replied that they did not appear to him to contain much general in formation. This would have been the very book for him, for it is full of general information. We recollect " Kent's Directory," the first of the family to which this work belongs ; and we also remem ber the " Post-office Directory " in its cradle, and a somewhat weakly and rickety bantling it was. We never thought it would have attained to the fair proportions of the volume before us, or have displayed the intelligence which we find in its pages. Exclusively of a " Street," " Commercial," and " Court Directory," it contains all sorts of information desirable to the merchant and the tradesman ; while the Post-office regulations, in addition to their fulness, have the crowning recommendation of authenticity. Among the number less competitors for public favour at this time, we know none more valuable to a mercantile man as a " Christmas or New Year's Gift.' CHURCH AND STATE GAZETTE, DECEMBER 28, 1849. Here is an annual which has completed its first half century, and which is almost load enough for a moderately strong man to carry. From the excellent map of London, at the beginning, to the last page—(and there are upwards of two thouzand of them) —there is not a word in this gigantic volume which a critic can cavil at : his occupation is gone. In the pages before us there is no flattery—as little of foolish argument—and nothing but truth. Nothin; but truth l —and yet it is a guide to our national offices—a Directory for our streets and all who therein dwell—as well as for Trade, Law, the Court, the Parliament, and the City. In short it is a book that everybody, at some time or other, stands in need of; and, as we have said before, it not only tells nothing but truth, but is the only unin spired book of which such a character can be given. SPECTATOR, XovEstnna 24, 1849. This has no new features of any importance, but its utility and completeness are enforced afresh at each e xamination. We say nothing of direct and obvious uses for reference, because we have often spoken of them ; but whether for the purpose of discovering the domicil. or busines o a person of whom the inquirer has but slender trace, or for to stir lthe apparent respectability of a man by tracing his whereabo forseveral years, or for going direct to your point in a neighbour or street to which you are a stranger, this book and its back volumes are unrivalled. For example, Black- ERA, NOVEMBER 25, 1849, This publication, which is a kind of national annual, has now been more than half-a-century before the public. It contains now no fewer than 2,091 pages of most useful and appropriate information, under the heads of the " Official," the " Street," the " Commer cial," the " Trades," the "Law," the "Court," the "Parliamen tary," the " Postal," the " City," the " Conveyance," the " Banking," and the " Assurance Directories," &c., &c., in reference to all of which it gives what thousands, particularly those in business, will desire to know. The numerous facts here collected form an extra ordinary mass of valuable intelligence, and the only wonder is how so many authentic particulars can be gathered together In one book. It is only the experience and consequent improvements of years that could do so much. Many are the people who must be engaged in getting up this printed world of information, notwithstanding the system of accumulation which is doubtless observed in preparing every new volume. What book can tell you so much in reference to the occupations and domestic relations of people? The mere ad dresses are sufficient to excite special wonder —look at the Smiths, for instance, or the Browns, and you will marvel that there are so many of each in the world. It must be borne In mind, however, that this extraordinary Directory does not confine itself to people's whereabouts, nor what companies dor or profess to do. We have all that is official set forth, and a book of reference for all occasions con nected with the business of life. .The public now find this took in dispensable to the various commercial and social purposes to which It is devoted. MINING JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849. This useful and, to a commercial man, necessary publication, has again made its annual appearance, with still greater accuracy and eclat, if possible, than its more immediate predecessors. As a gene ral Directory, it is immeasurably superior to those pseudo-cheap and ephemeral publications which, under various phases, and dif ferent denominations, have struggled into existence by plagiarism from this work, and which, by the preface, we see are now totally defunct. The price at which the book is published, places it within the reach of that class (the trading community) for whom it is espe cially designed, while to the courtier and Parliamentary man it has v the recommendation of affording him the most useful and accurate I . 0 summary to be obtained of the "modern Babylon." LITERARY . GAZETTE, DECEMBER 1, 1849, Talking of Annuals, this is the real and veritable Triton of the Minnows—the genuine useful Repository, the unquestionable Pro phetic Almanack, that will guide to thousands of unknown events. Of its bulky and most intelligent predecessor we observed, that it could only belong to, and be produced in England; we ought, perhaps, to have said, in London. We need not repeat our praise of the industry employed (it must be constantly, from year's end to year's end), ner our wonder at the mass of minute information thus collected into one grand volume—a very mountain of distinct par ticles I But we must point attention to the lateness of the date to which this information is brought up. Incidents and changes not yet a fortnight old are enumerated here with the same precision as if they had taken place at midsummer. Fifty years' practice has indeed led to perfection, ATLAS, NOVEMBER 24, 1849 A stranger would take a week to trace the increase of London within the last few years. In this most unique of publications he may see it at a glance Year after year the volume continues en larging, till the once modest tome bids fair to become the most portly octavo ever sent out from tile press. After the reader has done admiring the astounding immensity of the metropolis, and the enormous multiplicity of its trades, companies, and buildings, he may begin to admire the stupendous labour and enterprise with which a private undertaking like this is begun and carried on. The present volume is on the plan of former years —a plan combining so much utility to every one as scarcely to need Improvement. The publica tion is carried down to the latest moment ; several important changes being registered which occurred as late as the 13th of this present month. This digest of the immensity of London is much snore than a mere mercantile convenience. As a statistical account, it has the highest value, forming, In a.any respects, one of the most extraordinary books in the world. LEASES! )LDS.—MANOR OF ELLERBECK, NEAR NOR THAL LERTON, YORK SIIIRE.

EXAMPLES. lIERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849. The " Post-office London Directory" for 1850 is out. It occupies a space on one's book-shelf as large as two or three other good sized volumes put together, and, in point of utility, especially to the commercial classes, it must occupy a first place in public esti mation. In it is contained a mass of most useful in!ormation ; information that is not to be found elsewhere. Additions and corrections are observable in the present edition of the " Post-office Directory ;" so that the Messrs. Kelly appear determined to distance all attempts at competition and undermining, whether from a host of little competitors to parts of the work—constantly appearing and as periodically dying off—or from Members of Parliament, for be it remembered that some time ago, certain gentlemen of the Lower House, seeing so great and important a work successfully conducted by private enterprise, thought it time for the Government to stop and take possession. A little delibera . lion, however, soon taught them that' though the position of head of the " London Directory" was a desirable post to occupy, it was one which they could not manage without encountering too much labour and risk of failure. The " Post-office Directory" has now reached its 51st year, a good age, but it seems to be all the better for it, and likely to improve in appearance every year that it grows older. We think the public are much indebted to Messrs. Kelly for the great exerticns they evidently bestow in the pro (Diction of a work of so much national utility. It is a work of every-day reference which no person in the active walks of life should be without.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any tine, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving caa secure through this Society. NEW MONTHLY WORK BY MRS. ELLIS.

Arose transparently to fancy's view ; Struck with the sight which thus my dream supplied, upl llp d o d r le ti d co, And oh, my heart (excuse the vulgar phrase), On what a splendid picture did I gaze: Chairs, sofas, tables, all were built of ice, And, as I said before, they looked so nice. The window-curtains hung in icy net-work, And each pier-glass was framed with icy fret-work ; The chandeliers and lustres, wrought with pains, Dropped in bright icicles, like diamond chains. The icy floor a snowy covering had, The cushions ditto, and the sofa-pad. It was a sight delightful to behold, A sight superb—but oh, I felt so cold ; For, as it happened, I forgotithe coat Which Moses made me at their house of note. This would have kept my font from feeling chilly ; I can't imagine how I was so silly. 'Tweuld just have suited such a scene of ice, And, like the palace, would have looked so nice. I'll say no more -the subject rightly closes With such a well-earned compliment for Moses. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

[ADVERTISEMENT].—BOTANIC WATER AND BEARS' GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off; the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alter nately, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as a stimulant, and the bears' grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of bears' grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a aufficient answer.—Ross and Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate-street, London, who first introduced the use of bears' grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and address printed on the pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article. TRADE OF LEEDS.—A gradual amelioration has been going on throughout the past year, both in our woollen and worsted districts, and the latter has now reached a point of great activity, and prices are highly remunerating, notwithstanding the advance in wool has been from 15 to 25 per cent., according to quality. In cloths and other woollen fabrics we have bad an in creased demand for the home market, but we regret to say our export trade continues in a, most unsatisf ictory state, as will be seen from the following facts :—Piece3 per annum. The average export of woollen cloths of all sorts for eight years, ending with 1836, wa,t 505,378; for eight Sears, ending with 1844, 314 . 6 65; f or the year 1848, 196,676. We are not, however, without hope that this downward course may be arrested by a patent finish, which we hare now in successful operation. In turning our attention from the past to our pros pec ts _ f the future, we see every encouragement to hope that we have entered upon a cycle of prosperous years f which 1849 was the commencement. Within ourselves we have abundant evidence th a t i n a ll h u man probability such will be the case; and from what we have expe rienced in the past two years of the effect produced by the political convulsions of our neighbours, it is evident that nothing in this respect short of a general war can seriously affect the commerce of this country. Perhaps never at any former period have vse had with . n our reach means so ample for the full development of our commerce, for which new fields of enterprise are now being opened to us by the abrogation of laws which in times past have cramped our energies and driven capital to other ootuatries.—Leeds Mercury.

The supply of wheat was to a moderate extent, and it did not partake either of the extreme dulness or reduc tion in price reported of London market. The growers would only submit to a nominal reduction of 6d per quarter. Barley was on the contrary extremely difficult to sell, and at a redaction of fully is to Is 6d per quart"r only could it be sold. Beans and peas neglected. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER.

Taylor and Bright's circular states:—The weather has been very variable during the past week; at times severe frost, and then thaw, with a good deal of rain. To-day it is mild. The transaction of the week have been very limited, with a downward tendency. To-dab 's market was moderately supplied with farmer's wheat, millers were desirous to buy at the decline of London, but fermi-es were firm, and the market cannot be quoted more than ls. lower. Foreign is quite neg lected. Nothing doing in malting barley, and the sale of grinding more limited. Nothing but a mere retail business in other articles. Less activity in the linseed market, and cakes are rather flat. No transactions re- I ported in rape cakes. The following are the present prices of grain:— a. a. S.

Our arrivals from abroad are exceed ingly trifling, but we continue to be fairly supplied with English wheat, which is taken at the prices of last Tues day; in foreign nothing doing. Malting and grinding barley in fair retail demand. In beans, peas, and oats very little doing, and prices unaltered. Tares for sowing are scarce and command full prices. The cold weather con tinues to check the demand fur clover seeds, but our prises are well maintained in the li t!e business which is doing. In linseed little doing. Rapeseed without alte ration. Linseed cakes in improved demand at our quotations. Rape cakes are held firmly at 82s 6d-85s per ton first quality. No arrivals of beans; from the yard they are offered at 95s per ton. Linseed oil has again advanced in consequence of the favourable Ame rican advices, and 32s 6d to 33s per cwt. is the present price. Rape oil in better request, at 43s to 44s per cwt. After the corn-market.—We had to-day again a dull market fur grain, which we attribute principally to the flat accounts received from Mark-lane; the farmers did not supply us so freely pith English wheat, as they have latterly done, but they had to submit to is per quarter reduction to effect sales. In foreign nothing of importance done. Barley, beans, and peas rather easier to buy, though we do not alter our quotations. Oats were held firmly for last week's rates.—From Thompson and Frankish's Circular. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 29.—Our supplies from Ireland and coastwise during the week past have been small of wheat and flour, but liberal of oats and oatmeal. From foreign ports we have to report a large arrival of Indian corn and flour, and a fair quantity of wheat. The exports in the same time, with the exception of 6,500 quarters of Indian corn, have been very trifling. The trade has been exteediogly languid, and prices have sustained a further depression. Wheat declined 2d per 701 b, and flour 6d per barrel and sack; oats id per 451 b, and oatmeal 3d to 6d per load. In other articles no quotable reduction has occurred, but buyers had the advantage in the few trans actions which have transpired. At this day's market there was a slender attendance of the trade, who evinced the same indifference to enter into business as we have had to note for some time past. Wheat and flour, with a very limited sale, must be quoted 2d per 701 b and 6d to Is per sack and barrel lower on the week. Oats and oatmeal met with hardly any attention, though offered at a reduction of Id per 451 b and 6d per load. Barley, benne, and peas neglected and easier to bur. Owing to the largo arrival, Indian corn declined - fully 6d per quarter, 29s per quarter being the extreme value of prime yellow, and 31s per quarter of fine white. LEEDS, JAN. 29.—We have again a short supply of all descriptions of grain, but the trade rules very dull,and wheat is is per quartz r lower than last week. Barley and beans are also fid to is per quarter lower. Oats without alterition in value. At the close of our market the south letters had not been delivered, owing to an ac cident on the railroad, which has caused some interrup tion to business.
