On Saturday, the 2!st of June, Toe WEEKLY NEWS (founded as Douglas Jerrold's Weekly News- paper), and The WEEKLY CHRONICLE (founded by Sir Henry George Ward), Will be amalgamated under the above title. A junction of the politi cal strength of both will ensure to the cause of Reform an organ of superior influence, whilst their united literary resources will essen tially aid the progress of general enlightenment. The established reputation of the one for official as well as general information, the high literary character of the other, and tne political independence of both—will be fully maintained, so as to render the WEEKLY NEWS and CHRONICLE one of the most complete mirrors of the World's doings, and one of the most faithful and vigorous exponents of public opinion. (From " Mitchell's Newspaper Press Directory" for 1851.) " WEEKLY CHRONICLE.--Principles : Liberal ; advocating all Measures which the conductors deem characteristic of genuine and healthful reform. This paper embraces in its comprehensive scheme News, Politics, Commerce, Literature, and Art. Whilst the Satur day edition is characterised by the variety of its contents, the Sun day edition gives the latest continental, provincial, and metropolitan intelligence ; the court and ministerial movements, and those of the great political parties, forming distinguishing features." "WEEKLY NEWS.—Principles: Liberal; advocating the pro gressive amelioration or the masses, and the interests of Literature. Its leading political articles are eloquently and powerfully written, and its literary reviews display an extensive range of knowledge, a rare scholarship, and great independence. Its contributors being /ten of experience and high repute, an essential value is attached to their opinions." The extensive circulation of the two newspapers through the mid dle and upper classes of the community, offers in its united effect pe culiar advantages to ADVERTISERS, too obvious to need being Pointed out.

Mr. Thaekeray delivered the third of his series of lecteres on Thursday, to an audience more numerous end distinguished than ever. The humorist he dealt with this time was Sir Richard S:cole, Addi sou's friend and fellow-labourer in the " Spectator." Steele is less known and read now•ts-days than any of his famous contemporaries. His comedies are grown as obscure as his predecessor poor Otway's al most—which is saying a great deal. His lustre as an essayist has been outshone by that of Addi son . B ut i n his own style of writing he is unrivalled ; and hi s pecul i ar character and his strange history made him a very good subject for Mr. Thackeray's lectures—lectures, be it no:ed,.not so much intended to be literary as social— discourses of social philosophy. Thursday's one was a kind of sermon, as picturesque as a historical novel — a charitable sermon on & loveable sinner. Ile began by showing us that such a being as a perfect man would be, to us, intolerable, and, as regarded him self; a kind of anomaly. He would have no joy, because no sorrow; no repentance, because iccapalde of fault. He could not, as perfectly wise, love one person more than another; he would have no other emotion when on the mountain than on the plain. Our faults were our condi tions of existence. From our pain came our pleasure. So much we derived from what we called, tor instance, our selfishness ! We did not love people for their virtues only ; nobody's dearest friends were the greatest and highest people ho knew. Wh y di d the father lik e h i s little Tummy better th an other people's children—his far cleverer school-fellows 1' This variety of senti ments he referred t o w h at may be called our selfish ness. The deduction h e d rew from this opening was the propriety of a charitable construction of men's shortcomings. He tidied sympathy with Dick Steele as one of the most kind-heartvd of men. So fond was that man of seeing happi ness everywhere about him that in his old age, when, having outlived wife, fortune, fame, and almost everything but his good heart, be was living down in Wales on the remnant of a property, he used CO have the people of the village dancing before him, and give a gown to the best performer. It was beautiful to think of such a life ending in such a calm, glorious sunset. He now reviewed this chequered career. Steele was the son of an Irish gentleman, and was sent an orphan to the Charter house School. There Addison was his head boy. Perhaps there was nobody of all the great men one met in life that ever inspired one with such wonder and reverence as one's head boy at school; Steele had Addison for his head boy for lite—loved and reverenced him from first to last. In all probability Dicky Steele at the school was the most good-for nothing amiable little fellow there—contracting pecuniary liabilities with sellers of lollipops, and borrowing money from every boy who had any to lend. Ail this might be presumed from his subsequent proceeding;. and also his castigation, perhaps by the very instrument of torture which he (the lecturer) had (as an amateur) some time since inspected. Steele went to Oxford; left it without taking a degree; became a private in the Guards, and got a • ' • and had places and various great successes. But he la boured under a fatal incapability ofcare of him selfapa o taking or anything. c ri e c ; a l an n d ai'vete, "a theologian in commission; became Captain Steele, The various scenes in Steele's life Mr. Thackerey left and returned to at intervals, as suited He alluded with much humour to the " Christian Hero." Steele used to be laughed at while engaged on this pious he fitted up a house very elegantly Then Dicky for a wife whom he adored, but the landlord could not get his rent. Having, failed in keeping a lw, n ab d sa cakiew raayy edifying s, iwn t p dh e e performance; his m hs up one establishment, the worthy man and moral teacher opened a still finer one iu Bloomsbury-square. There he liquor is not a very respectable gavo high loyal entertainments ; and on one occasion, having been carried home and taken up stairs by the chairmen, insisted on politely accompanying them to the door, after which he at last went to bed. He had, of course, fits of great penitence. But the worst was that besides other duns—Duty and Virtue had to knock at Dickey Steele's door, and go away finding it in vain. Mr. Thaekeray particularised Steele's letters with em phasis. Most of our epistolary remains, he remarked, from Cicero's to Walpole's, were written with an obvious eye to posterity. Steele's were clearly genuine private letters, intended only for the eye of the person to whom they were sent. object!" jletneccidtere:adi;, resfiaiedctiomns: In his literary capacity Steele was to be considered as the founder of that style of sentimental humour which delighted us in Yorick, in the Caxtens, and in little Dombey. Mr. Thackeray quoted a delightful passage, in which he describes his going into the room where hia father's body lay, as a child, and meeting his mother there. And he took occasion to compare him here with Swift and Addison. He showed how when Switt inspired terror and melancholy, and stamped with disdain—when Addison, too, was sad in his different way—Steele's lesson was human love and pity. These were what he gathered from the contem plation of the mysteries of the grave and the future. Mr. Thsckeray drew, in concluion, a satirical and facetious picture of the manners of fashionable people in that time, founded on Swift's " Polite Conversation," &c. He concluded the lecture—perhaps the most philo sophical he has yet delivered—by calling for a sympathetic consideration of Steele ; a kindly view of one of the kindest-hearted men that ever lived. The lecture was heard with great attention and applause UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

P LAINED.—Few of the illusions performed by M. Houdin caused more astonishment than this 'one, yet no trick ever exhibited is more simple or easier of performance to the merest novice in the magic arts. A large cambric or white silk handkerchief is produced, and given to the company for inspection; on its being returned to the magician the immediately brings from it several large plumes of feathers. The trick is performed thus : procure three or four large plumes of feathers from the military equipment warehouses, such as are worn by the officers or those of the Foot Guards at the side of their caps; take off your coat, then holding a couple of the feathers in each hand so that they towards the side of the arms, put the coat on again • this is easily done, as the feathers s • to very squeeze up a small ' com will tall com pass. Thus equipped, you advance to the audience, and, taking the handkerchief, throw it over the one hand and cuf f of the coat, and with the other hand draw out the feather from the sleeve ; the feather resuming its original bulk entirely misguides the lookers-on as to its previous position. One feather produced, the handkerchief is thrown carelessly over the other hand, and another brought forth in like man ner,. which c an b e repeate d f our t i mes w i t h ou t causing sus picion. _ picion. Thi s new an d i ngen i ous l y s i mp l e illusion is worthy of the inventor's magic renown. PARISIAN EXAGGERATIONS. —M.

DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday as the Queen of the Thames steamer, running to Southend, was proceeding d down the river, a man was o b s erved to jump overboard between Oldhaven and Shellhaven. He was first observed by a lady, a passenger in the same boat. The life -buoy was immediately thrown out, but the unfortunate man had sunk. He wore a dark coat and a drab-coloured waistcoat. Two of the crew, named Leach and Sparrow, who observed him in the water, stated that lie was about the middle age, and in height about live feet eight inches. When the steamer stopped and lowered her boat to search, nothing was observed but his hat; the name of the maker being wanting this af forded no eltici to his identity. It appears that the unhappy man entered into conversation with one of the crew during the voyage, and observed that about this time last year a titan jumped overboard, which marred ail the day's pleasure. In a few minutes afterwards he followed the melancholy It was blowing hard, an d in more than forty feet water. . - - The latest arrival from Naples has included an importation of poultr the vessel Levantine. y, to the extent of eighty packages , by JUNE 14 , 1851.

The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England, and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2001.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of gay, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 62,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the Ist of Tune last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. lie. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. ls., leaving the yearly income on the Ist of June last equal to 2,991/. 15s. lid. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. Ils. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de I'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who, under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects. LA W LIFE ASSURANCE OFFICE, Fleet-street, London, June 5, 1851.

Oil Lamps are most offensive to the smell, and the ephemeral Cam phine emits such smut and unwholesome effluvia as to injure health and rain dresses, &c., whilst the Candle Lamp is inodorous and pure. CHARLES WATSON invites the public to an inspection of the above, in every variety, commencing with the Queen's Lamp, from 2s. to 265. ; the mid size, from 12s. to 355. ; and the magnum, from 355. to five guineas.

As it is computed that nearly half a million of the Working Classes will arrive in the Metropolis during the early portion of next week, the greatest precautions have been taken to prevent inconve nience ; and it is presumed that the residents of the Metropolis, who can do everything when they please, will take advantage of the excursion trains and steamers, which are judiciously provided to ac commodate two hundred thousand a day. In London many of the Exhibitions will he open ; the British Museum, the National Gallery, and many other attractions wiil be free, and among the principal sights of London to which the public are invited, the magni ficent marts of E. MOSES and SON, in the Minories and ALl gate, and New Oxford-street, will attract thousands. At their establishment may be seen the most extensive col lection of fashionable costume ever got together, and among them the superb embroidered dresses intended for the Great Exhibition. These specimens are worth travelling a thousand miles to inspect, for art and scienco can go no further in the pro duction of embroidery. It would, indeed, be a matter of regret for a visitor to omit calling at the Monarch Mart, for it is im possible to form the least idea of its extent, or of the variety, elegance, and taste displayed in the dresses, which, in number, exceed all belief. It should be mentioned to visitors that they are invited to inspect not to buy, although the purchase of the next article of dress a visitor may require, follows some time or other, as certain as day follows night, for the articles exhibited are as good of the kind as man can produce, and the prices so mode rately low, that people must see to believe. E. MOSES and SON . have devoted a separate Show-room for the purpose of exhibiting the embroidered robes alluded to, and they again earnestly invite an inspection. Wanted several Youths as Cashiers.

Reception hours daily till Mr% Evenings, liven till nine; 10 ,i,ro ll l l lloel Regent-itreet attendance of buyers, but excepting for East India there was very little competition. The quantities were as follows: —1,060 bales E. Rios and Buenos Ayres; only a part sold at about ld per lb. lower than on previous sales. 753 bales East India sold briskly at about id per lb advance upon Feb. sales, or about equal to December. 362 Russian and Turkey, 663 Egyptian, 278 Mogadore, 278 sundries, 392 Lisbon, 592 Oporto, principally withdrawn, and what was sold went at less money. TRADE or LEEDS.—Last Saturday there was a much better market at both Cloth Halls than for some time; but Tuesday being holiday, there was but a very thin attendance at the market, and very little business was done. There has also been less delivered to order from the same cause. Prices are without any alteration, and the stocks are moderate for the season. As is generally the case at Whitsuntide, there has Leen little done in the warehouses since this day week. BRADFORD MARKET, JONE 12.—Wools—There has been a long absence from buying in this market, in the hope of new wools being offered at a cheaper rate, but the expecta tion is disappointed, for the new clips in every district and market are eagerly bought up, and the supplies in this mar ket are not so abundant as in last June. The spinners ap pear thoroughly nonplussed, for they are not in any position to buy wools at the current rate of the market, irrespective of the speculative buying in the country at higher prices, and they buy in comparative small lots to assist their stocks on hand. Noils and brokes present no change. Yarns—The complaints of the spinners are now loud, for in no class of yarns can prime cost be realized. The busy trade of the past two years has evidently placed too much machinery to work, while the raw material has advanced beyond the price of the new clip of 1850. Yarns are selling 2s per gross lower than at that period, and the loss to the spinners was never so great, nor the margin so near between the cost of wool and the price of yarns ; unless there is a decided advance on the latter, we may expect soon to see a large body of unem ployed operatives. Pieces—There is now a fair amount of business doing in all kinds of goods suitable for the home trade for the autumn, and of moreens, which have been dull for some time. Some large sales have been effected. There is nothing near the same activity among the buyers for America as last season, and the business done for that market will fall far abort of an average of previous years. There is great cora plaining of the unremunerative position of all parties engaged in this department of our tradp.,, TRADE OF MANCHESTER; JUNE 'l2.—So far as the' market has been tested to-day, it remains much in the state it was on Tuesday; but the spinners who have held oet for the slight advance which was obtained on some dese4tions of yarns that day, have in many instances been disappointed of ob taining engagements. This being the principal race day, as well as a Whitsuntide holiday, there were very few people on the Exchange, and those who did make their appearance re mained only for a brief interval.

Rear-Admiral Fanshawe, C. 8,, promoted by the death of Admiral Cuchet, is third and youtgest son of the late Commissioner Fanshawe, and is brother-in law of the Admiral of the Fleet and the late Admiral Sir Robert Stopford. According to O'Byrne he must have served afloat since his first entry into the navy in 1804, about twenty-five years; but we b.elieve he is one of the youngest, if not the young est, flag officer in the navy. Entering the navy in 1804 in his brother-in-law's ship Imperieux, 74, he removed in De cember, 1806, to the Salvador del Mundo, the flag-ship of Admiral Young, at Plymouth, and on his removal to the Prince of Wales, 98, bearing the flag of Lord Gam bier, attended the expedition to Copenhagen in August, 1807. He then rejoined Captain Martin in the Ina4slacable, 74; and on August 26, 1808, took part, as midship man, in a gallant action of twenty minutes trith the ' Russian 74-gun ship Sewolod, which was completely silenced, and in the end, with the assistance of the Cen taur, 74, flag-ship of Sir Sam. Hood, captured and burnt, in sight of the whole Russian fleet, near Rogierswick, after a total loss to the enemy of 303 men, and to the Implacable individually of 6 killed and 26 wounded. In 1809-10 we find Mr. Fanshawe co-operating with the patriots on the north coast of Spain, in the Amezin, 38, Captain William Parker, and afterwards serving for two years at the Cape, latterly ea acting lieutenant, in the Scipion, 74, Lip, t 4, and President, 38, flag-ships of Rear-Admiral Stopford, under whom, in the Scipion, he contributed to. the redaction of Java in August, 1811. On being officially promoted, April 22, 1813, be became flag - heutenant in the Prince Frederick, 74, to Sir T. B. Xartin, than second in command at Plymouth, whence, however, he soon sailed for North America, in the End/mion, 48,•Captain Henry Hope. While on that steam Mr. Fanshawe, in 1814, served in the boats at the capture of the Meteor privateer, of 3 guns and 32 men; he aho assisted. Captain Richard Cooto in gallantly destroying, near Pettipaque Point, on th' River Connecticut, 27 if the enemy's ves sels, three of which were heavy Frivateers, :and the aggregate burden of the whole upwtrds of 5,000 tons; and was again employed in the boats in an unsuccessful attack upon the Prince de Neulchwel, American pri vateer, which cost the British a losi of 28 killed and 37 badly wounded. On Jan. 15, 1815 , he further par ticipated in the capture, after a Cosa action .of two hours and a half, with a loss to the Eudymiou of 11 killed and 14 wounded, and to her op?onent of 35 killed and 70 wounded. of the President Ideate, of 56 guns and 465 men. Being promoted to the rank of com mander, Oct. 2, 1815, Captain Finshawe, r vho for a few weeks had re-officiated as flag-lieutc avant to Sir T. B. Martin, in the Ganges, 74, was n ex t, in the course of 1816, appointed to the acting command; of the Pique, Junon, and 111aeander frig a '" )B , in the first of v. hich he made a voyage to the Westlndies. 1 Lis con firmation to post rank taking place Oa. 17 . in • the same year, he afterwards joined, November 26, 18,18, the Newcastle, 60, which ship, bcariag- the flag of Rear-Admiral E.

Fruit and vegetables of every description arrive daily by the conti nental steamers, and at low prices, which shows the benefit of free trade. FIRE AT THE GEORGE TAVERN, BANKSIDE.- - Yesterday morning, shortly before one o'clock, a fire broke out in the George Tavern, Bankside, Southwark, lately termed Marshal Haynau's Retreat." The flames originated from some cause not clearly known, in the second floor, and were first discovered by one of the lodgers. Fortunately, Mr. llitchcox, the proprietor of the premises, was up at the time. Not a moment was lost in raising an alarm, and sending for the assistance of the firemen. The flames, how ever, travelled so fiercely that they speedily broke through the floor above, and also through the roof, when the re• Election could be seen from most parts of London. This caused a turn-out of the engines, and plenty of water having been obtained, the firemen set to work, and eventually suc ceeded in staying the progress of the fire, but not until it had communicated with the second floor of Mr. G. Gibbon's private residence, next door. The damage done is thus officially reported by Mr. Braidwood :—" Second floor and attics of the Georg 3 burned out, the contents destroyed; part of the roof di, and the rest of the building, B Le verely damaged by water; insured in the Monar c h Fire office. No. 1 2 , Bankside , Mr. G. Gibbons (private), second floor back, side front of bui ldin g and roof severely damaged by fire, and rest of building and furniture injured by heat and water." ••--- Vy INNER T E MPLE, JUNE 13.—The following members of this society have been called to the bar, and were sworn in this evenisg in the hall ; —Thomas Lett wood, of Trinity College, Cambridge, M.A. ; Octavian Baxter Cameron Har rison, of Trinity College, Cambridge, :ALA. ; ilomersham Cox, of Jesus College, Cambridge ; George John Palmer, of Trinity College, Cambridge, M.A. ; Edward Shillingfleet Cayley, Esq. ; Harry Bodkin Poland, Esq. ; James Mellor Smethurst, of Trinity College, Cambridge, 8.A.; and Win.

PREVENTION or Loss OF LIFE BY DROWNING.— Woomvicii, Jutiell.—Sonie experiments were made to-day before Colonel Campbell, Captain Anderson, Captain Faddy, Lieutenant Rowley and several other officers, with the view of testing the efficiency of Messrs. Silver and Co.'s appliances, ac patented by Lawrie, for preventing loss of life by drown ing, and which are to be seen in the Exhibition. The prin cipal of these consist of belts for the person, of floats to pre vent the sinking of boats, and of floatable articles of deck and cabin requisites, ,tich as deck seats or cushions, mattresses, and a portmanteau. The distinguishing feature of the belt and boat float is that, consistently with portability, it is a cylinder of stout but ordinary duck, extended over disks of light wood which divide it into compartments, so that in the event of one or two being punctured by rails, splinters, or otherwise, the safety of the wearer or boat would still be se cure. None of the articles were tested to the utmost of their buoyancy, notwithstanding which, one boat-float buoyed up weights to the amount of 981bs. The cabin mattress, 6 feet by 2 feet, formed of 12 compartments, not purposely inflated, but stuffed so as to prevent the escape of air or the percola tion of water, easily floated 1821b5., sufficient to support a number of persons, if wrecked, for an indefinite time. A mattrass, consisting of four compartments. buoyed up 981b5.; a horse-hair pillow, eBlbs. ; a small deck seat or cushion, 141bs. Great interest was excited by one of the assistants of Messrs. Silver, of Cornhill, getting into a port manteau, which, though of the ordinary size, is so fitted np as to allow of the bottom shifting, and the legs, protected by mackintosh, protruding, with a s imilar protection enclosing the waist. In this novel boat the exhibitor floated about at the his ease. A boat mattress was also tested, and e licited ltconsists surprise and admiration of the company present. of two thin mattresses joined together so as to form a canoe or boat. One of the as sistants, and subsequently Captain disported in entered, and s e a ti n g himself in the poc ket, in tho water without the least tendency of the vessel cap sizing, which, inde e d, i s rendered almost an i mpossibility by two wings, or weather boards, if we portions of a mattress, which d may apply the term to boat-mattrass to capsize as a steamer i t I'd with i ffi p c a u d l dt fo l e -hr h o x t es e . I The officers present expressVill,it is hoped, be the means of their high sense of the utility of these inventions, whltel saving many a valuable life, and diminishing the number of those fatal accidents, by wrecks and drowning, which have of late desolated families and harrowed up the feelings of the public. L ATION OF Kossuxn.—On Tueaiay eveni ng IDER A public meeting of the inhabitants of Glasgow was held in the ci ts ,..hall, called . by the Lord Provost, in consequence of a requis-ition sent him for the purpose, to memorialize the Government to interpose its influence , to procure the British . . - liberation of the illustrious Kossuth and his brave com panions, and their restoration to all the rights and privi leges of free citizens of the world. The following re solutions were unanimously agreed to :—" That this meet ' i n g deeply sympathise with all such as are the victims of civil and ecclesiastical despotism throughout the world, but in the meantime feel specially called upon to extend a becom ing amount of hospitality to those exiles who have taken an active part in the late struggle for independence in Hungary, and who of their own free choice have sought a home and an honest means of living in this land, so famous for the shelter it has afforded alike to the oppressor and the op pressed of the various nations on the face of the globe." " That this meeting of the citizens of Glasgow present a re spectful memorial to Lord Palmerston, her Majesty's Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, in the hope that he may be still further induced to use such efforts as are con sistentie with his high office, in endeavouring to procure v t i., unconditional freedom of the illustrious Kossuth, ala,n,ff,n` the his other compatriots now confined at Kuttayab, "L" Turkish territory." A committee was then appointed,w to the meeting carry out the views here expressed. the Hun broke up there was such a rush of p e ople W t e h o e :g r i m ve , garians, of whom there were five on the pi_ tt a hearty shake of the hand, that some confusion and delay took place before the hall was cleared. OCR ET.—A cut-purse, or TIIE KING AND THE PICHF pickpocket, with as much effronteryloCini on the King's birth day, of face as dexterity of finger, had got into the dtriaelivni ng , and was detected by th e King taking a gold day, dressed like a g s h e n n o uff-bo an x out of a man of qualit e . 3 pocket.

The ad vance since Tuesday last has been fully Id per bushel on wheat, 3d to 6d per barrel on American, and is per sack on French flour. Indian corn was not any dearer, but holders held it more stifly. Oats improved id per bushel, and oatmeal 6d per load. Barley, beans, and peas bronght full prices. NEWBURY, JUNE 12. —Our supply of wheat to-day is large. The advance in Mark-lane gave an impetus to the demands of our farmers, which in the present depressed state of the flour markets, the millers were unwilling to accede to; consequently the trade has been dull, and no greater advance than Is per quarter can be established, although some quantity is held over for higher rates. Barley but little in offer, and obtains higher rates. Beans, oats, and peas, short supply, with a brisk de mand, and must he noted Is to 2s per quarter higher. BRISTOL SUGAR MAREET, JUNE 13.—The business in West India descriptions has been but limited this week, chiefly owing to the poor assortment offering, but some large transac tions are reported in foreign, the particulars of which have not transpired.

Pannier—Goslings, 5s 6d to 6s each ; ducks, 3s 6d to 5s per couple ; fowls, 31 to 4s ditto ; chickens, 2s 6d to 4s ditto ; pigeons, 10d each ; leverets, 2s 6d to 3s ditto ; butter, lid to Bid per lb • eggs, 20 to 22 for Is. Corn Exchange—One o ' Clock — Th e average price of wheat sold in this market on Friday last was 5s 9d per bushel. It seems that the average to-day will be somewhat higher. 6s per bushel for the best wheat is freely offered, but in many instances it was refused by the holders, even without the warranty. Some holders are asking 6s 6d ; but it is not likely sales will be effected at that figure, even if warranted. The actual quotations at present for best samples are from 6s to 6s 3d • inferior that), 55 6d to Si 9d.
