Charles Duperier, 80th Begiment, to the important post of Adjutant of the Provisional Battalion, has given great pleasure to the numerous friends of that talented officer. The selection and recommendation reflects the highest credit on the authorities at Chatham, proving how thoroughly they .have the good of the service at heart. Lieut. Du perier was some years since engaged in drilling the Schah of Persia'b troops, and in testimony of the ap proval of that sovereign, had the distinguished order of the "Lion and Sun" conferred on him. Lieut. D. has also seen much hard service in China. INSANITY IN THE ARMY.—Out of the number of men discharged from the service, and left Chatham this week, eight were labouring under insanity. They bad all served abroad. A PRIZE TO HER MAJESTY'S SHIP PLIIMPER.--We learn by private letter that the Plumper, screw-sloop, Commander Nolloth, captured the Flore de Mare, with slave gear on board, at Born Abrigos, on the Brazilian coast, on the 13th June.

" All these arrangements comprise the establishment of the company's wires for the public service, as well as those exclusively devoted to railway purposes. " When these great works are completed, it is be lieved that the main features of the practical application of the invention of Messrs. Cooke and Wheatstone will have been achieved; but your directors will not rest satisfied till all parts of the kingdom shall be provided with telegraphic ccommodation, and until they have so combined and economised the system as to bring it into the most extended use for which it is naturally adapted. The company are prepared to establish a station at any point traversed by their wires, upon their working expenses at such station being guaranteed to them. To have prematurely undertaken further redactions of tho tariff, would have been to have endangered the existence of the whole undertaking; but the extension and development which is now assured, with the fact that the central working expenses do not increase with the increased length and number of the lines, have enabled the directors once more to take into their consideration the revision of the tariff; and though they will make no change hastily or imprudently, or for the sake of a pre sent popularity endanger in any way the permanent operation of the undertaking, yet their most anxious desire is to make such a reduction of charges as their increased facilities of serving the public will admit, without injury to the commercial credit of the concern. " The extraordinary nature and originality of the en terprise for a long time retained the shares of the com pany in the bands of the original subscribers; now, how ever, that they are more dispersed, and the stability of the undertaking is assured, and the great convenience and utility of the system acknowledged and appreciated by the public, it has been thought advisable to place them in a more negotiable form than the original amount of 1001., with 501. paid. "Accordingly, a Bill was brought into Parliament and an Aet übteined by which each 1001. share is con verted into four shares, the 501. paid being apportioned as follows: _ _ _ ••• ••• 20 n••• ••• 5 /I .441 ••• 5 1 Share 25/., on which is paid ... 1 Share 25/. „ „ 1 Share 251. „ 1 Share 251. „ £2O 4 Shares,lool. .£5O " The Act provides that no call shall be made on the 201. shares until she payment on the 51. shares amounts to the like sum of 20/. ; and on a further sum of 21. 10s. per share being called, the company are empowered to issue debentures to the extent of 150,0001. im mediately. " Toe large extent of new works, which includes the Manchester and Sheffield, the Great Northern, the Great Western, and the Bristol and Exeter Railways, a lengh of upwards of 970 miles, in band, which, to suit the present position of railway companies, are undertaken at a rental instead of a fixed price, as formerly was the practice, require that this call of 21. 10s. should be made immediately; and as a fair rate of interest is secured by the contracts for which it is required, and a contingent advantage from the profits from new stations is probable, the directors have no hesitation in adding this amount to the paid-up capital of the company. It is proposed that the dividend shall be paid pro rata upon each de scription of share. REVENUE ACCOUNT TOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1851.

THE GREENWICH OUT - PENSlON. — Captain Sir William Pierson (1838) has received the captains' out- pension of Greenwich Hospital, which fell in hand on the death of Captain Burgess. This Gallant Officer entered the navy in 1796, was at the battle of Trafalgar, and served constantly during the war up to 1815. THE nousEuoLD Thoors.—We understand that our distinguished foreign visitors have expressed great satisfaction at the fine soldierly and effective appearance of our Household Brigade of Cavalry and Infantry, and have, without hesitation, stated that in their opinion they are the finest body of troops in Europe. THE DEPUTY SECRETARY-AT-WAR.—It is ru• moured that the Right Honourable Laurence Sulivan, Deputy Secretary-at-War, who has recently been sworn in as a Member of the Privy Council, will shortly retire from his official appointment, as the la bours of that department have always been repre sented as most arduous, and rendered him unable to perform any of the ex officio duties pertaining to the office. ROYAL CANADIAN REGIMENT.—We hear that it is in contemplation to disband the Royal Canadian Rifle Corps. The sp,cial services of the regiment for which it was orignally raised have been long consi dered a failure. HIGHLAND REGINIENTS.—An order has been issued for the five kilted regiments—viz., the 42d, 78th, 79th, 92d, and 93d Highlanders —t o wear in future as a forage cap the Glengarry bonnet, instead of the one hitherto in use. This change does not affect those Highland corps wearing trowsers—viz., the 71st, 72d, and 74th—who are to continue the old forage cap. EAST INDIA PENSIONERS.—The Court of Direc tors have refused to adopt a proposition for forming an invalid depot in this country, on the same prin ciple as the one belonging to the line at Chatham, because they consider it would involve an additional expense, without any benefit to the funds of the company or their army in general. THE GOLD COAST CORPS.—The selection has been made of the officers for the regiment to be stationed on the Gold Coast, and their successors will shortly be gszetted. The corps is, we believe, to be Light Infantry. _ _ PENSIONERS IN CANADA.—Arrangements are being actively made for forming the army pensioners resi dent in Canada into four districts, by which their services may be rendered avlilable whenever required in aid of the civil power or military purposes. Lieutenant-Colonel Tulloch, Military Superintend ent of Pensioners, proceeds to Germany on the 25th inst., it is said, for the purpose of being present at the military inspections about to take place in that country, and in order to give him additional military knowledge, whereby he may be enabled to impart a new system of drill to the enrolled pensioners, and render them more effective. MINING INTELLIGENCE, (From the Mining Journal of this day.) The early Part of the week wan characterised by a heavy market for shares, but later it has given place to considerable inquiry and business in the more reputable portion of the speculative class of mines. Yesterday, in particular, a considerable amount of transactions took place on fair terms for the interests cf buyern, whilst sellers appear to be acting voluntarily, and not under the pressure of any necessity to sell, whether as regards the quantity of shares parted with or the rates obtained. With abundance of money for such purposes, we are encouraged to look for the continuance of business on an extended scale, both in these and dividend mines. The latter stock is, however, scarce -actual transactions not representing a tithe of th e in q uir y . The specula tive spirit is also slightly apparent for the y oungest class of concerns, but at an almost nominal figure. In the Metal Market-Copper is in good demand, a n d firm in price.-We are sorry to notice a fall at the lead ticketing, at Holywell, on Thursday, of about 2i per cent., without any apparent justification, the market here being 'firm, and the demand steady.-Tin has been quiet this week, and hut few transactions have taken p lace ; holders are firm, and we hear of sales in Holland at 48f, being.i I florin above the sale price.

The eleventh half•yearly meeting of the Electric Telegraph Company was held at the central station, Founders'•court, Lothbury, o❑ the 12th inst., John Lewis Ricardo, Elqi , M P., in the chair. The fol lowing report of the directors was adopted, and a dividend declared At the rate of 8 per cent. per annum. . " The financial position of the company is explained in the balance-sheet annexed :—The receipts of the half year exceed the expenditure by 10,767/, which will enable the directors, by appropriating 3221. from the reserve fund, to recommend a dividend of 2/. per share, being at the rate of 8 per cent. on the paid-up capital. " The Chester and Holyhead, the Brighton, and the Buckinghamshire lines have been completed since the last half-yearly meeting, and the Manchester and Sheffield line will be opened in the course of the en suing quarter. The current expenditure has been in full operation on the three first, though they cannot be considered to have come into regular working, and ex perience has shown that it requires some time before the public of any particular place acquire the habit of avail ing themselves of the new means of correspondence. These circumstances lead the directors to consider it un necessary to add to the reserved fund from the revenue of the half-year ending 30th Juno last. e The peculiar nature of patent property, and the li tigation which, notwithstanding that three verdicts have been obtained for piracies of their inventions, the directors may have still to encounter in prosecuting in fringements of their patent rights, render it, in their view, advisable to retain always a considerable sum not applicable to any one particular purpose, but available for any circumstances which may arise requiring outlay. These do not involve renewal of works, which is in every instance charged to revenue of the current half-year. " Several hundred miles of line have, in fact, been entirely renewed on this principle. " From the time that the directors, in accordance with the p o li cy announced at a former meeting, aimed at the establishment of a great national system of telegraphic c o mmunication, rather than the large manufacturing profit which the exclusive nature of their patents might have secured to them, their attention has been anxiously turned to the devlopement and extension of their lines, and they have thought themselves justified in sparing no expense to render the accommodation comprehensive, certain, and expeditious. " Experience only can achieve these things ; and though it is not pretended that the whole degree of per fection of which the system is susceptible has been ob tained on the working of the lines, nevertheless great refirms have been made in numerous details of the ad ministration, which, though trifling in themselves, are of infinite importance in the complicated executive com binations of the company, while mechanical improve ments in the insulation and apparatus have been pa tented, and after being elaborately tested, have been, where found efficient, ca:efully and liberally carried into execution. ertedinsu by la th te e d lin a e n o d f t t w h o e " The whole of the lines be tween Lond on and Liver pool and Manchester have been new w en w t i V re a s lle w y ill a t n h d is N w o e r e th Staffordshire week be e ta co o mpl rdshire Railways for the accommodation of these important places.

EAST RETFORD, THURSDAY, AUG. 14, 4.21 P.M.— During the last thirty years it bas not unfrequently been our lot to place on record such storms and tem pests as have occasionally occurred in this neghbour hood and that of North Notts, of which this town forms the capital, but it has seldom been our duty to record one more severe than that which took place last night. The year, hitherto, has been somewhat remarkably proverbial for non electricity, and it ap pears to have been reserved for the special out pouring we have just experienced. For several days previously the atmosphere had been close and warm, but not bright; indeed the absence of sunshine had been remarked by the agriculturists as retarding harvest operations, and keeping back ward the maturing the splendid crops now ready for the sickle. To any particular observant of the ! clouds, however, it was very evident that they were very highly charged with electric matter, which would soon vent itself in either one district or another. Early in the afternoon the wind was stationed in the south, but at twenty minutes past four it changed into the north within two or three minutes' duration. In the west the appearances were seriously ominous, and it was evident that the im mediate weight and direction of the coming commo tion of the elements was verging from Retford into the north west, in the direction of Bawtry, Gringley on-the-Hill, and towards Gainsborough. About five o'clock the western sky was that of a stone-coloured red—exceedingly menacing, and in dicative of danger. During this period the roll of thunder was heard in the distance, and the forked lightning continued to play in almost every direc tion. No sooner had the roll of the thunder faded from the ear in the west, when Grove Hills echoed another from the east, and, in fact, for up wards of two hours the thunder seemed to emerge from every point of the compass, and the lightning from every quarter of the heavens. The oscillations of the barometer were singular but not extraordinary, the needle trembling in a downward direction be tween 2974 inches, and 29.69 inches. Still there was scarcely any material decline. The outdoor thermometer in the shade was at 74 deg., and without scarcely a breeze of air stirring. At length the twain clouds began to converge, and between six and seven P.M., the storm at Retford appeared to be at its height. Peals of thunder continued to succeed each other in rapid succession, whilst the lightning glare was awful in the extreme. At a little b e f ore seven a ball of fire fell in the Market-place, which imme diately exploded with a crash t ru ly a p pa lli ng . A t this time the rain descended in torrents, and the water soughs being too small to take away the de luge of waters, the streets and Market-place were flooded in every direction, and several of the ground floors in the lower parts of the town were com pletely under water. Towards eight o'clock the ele ments were hushed, and the storm itself abated, but the lightning continued vivid until about two o'clock this morning. From inquiries made to-day it appears that the storm has been general throughout North Notts. Although much more rain has fallen in some localities than others, whilst the lightning has been equally more fatal in some directions than in others. A poor man of the name of George Gab betas, of Scaftworth, aged about 60 years, whilst en gaged in pulling apples before the rain commenced, was struck dead by the electric fluid. An inquest will be held upon his remains to-morrow morning. A mare belonging to Mr. Wm. Mee, of Retford, which, along with a foal, was grazing in a field be tween that place and Bollam, was struck dead, whilst the foal was left nearly blind : since it was discovered it has partially recovered from the shock. Two cows belonging to Mr. John Motley, of South Leverton, were found dead in the field, and as far as we have been able to gather, these are the only casu alties which have taken place in the district. During the night the air was remarkably cold, and the interior of the houses insufferably hot. This morning the air was again close and warm, and from the state of the clouds it was evident that the atmosphere had not altogether been relieved from the combustion with which it had been so seriously overcharged. During the whole morning thunder was heard in various directions, but it was not until between one and two, P.M., that it passed over Retford. Whilst we are still writing the atmosphere continues in a somewhat troubled state, and we should not be much surpri se d at another recurr e n c e of the storm during the evening. Depth of rain fallen during Oa storm, 1 94 inches.-- Doncaster Gazette. ANECDOTE OF WASHINGTON. At the 4th of July celebration in Monson Mass, the Springfield Republican states that the Venerable and Rev. Alfred Ely related the following :—" When a boy I resided in West Springfield, and worked on a farm. In the uutmn of the year 1789 I was en gaged with my employer in gathering a load of corn-stalks in a field not far distant from the Connecticut River. My employer had driven his loaded team from the lot, and left me as usual to put up the bars. While thus engaged I noticed the approech of four horses and a large vehicle. There was no driver upon the carriage, but astride the nigh horse of each span was a young Mulatto postillion ; there were also two out- riders and a foot man. The vehicle (in which was seated a gentleman whose striking personal presence impressed me) was called in those days a chariot. It was entirely unique, and unlike anything in present use, except in the running part. 1 saw the outriders gallop on in advance of the chariot and hold some parley with my employer, wh o occup i e d t h e en tire road with his loaded cart ; the r oa d s a t th a t time being so narrow that two teams could not pass unless one yielded to the other. I perceived that my employer yielded none of his right of the road, and that the chariot was detained by the cart until they On Saturday, in company with several gentlemen invited by Mr. T. Robjohn, we had an opportunity of examining the immense aerial ship " United States," now on the stocks at Hoboken, and nearly ready for lunching into the air. Trusting that some account of this unique affair may be interesting to our readers, we took a few notes, which will serve as reliable data for a brief description. The car is 64 feet in length, very sharp at either end, width 6 feet, height 6 feet 4 inches, the whole composed of a strong, light wooden frame, covered with canvas, with doors and glass windows. The boilers are of ccpper, on the tubular plan, and occupy a space equal to four cubic feet; the engines are very perfect, being composed of gun metal and cast steel; they are of 12-horse power, and are to work 20 inch stroke 66 times per minute, which will give 400 revolutions of the floats, which are placed in a substantial framework on the top of the car. There is sufficient room for 25 passengers, with fuel for four hours. The float is 260 feet in length, of a cigar-like shape, 24 feet diameter in the centre, and bas a gas capacity equal to 95,000 cubic feet, which gives a lifting power equal to 6,500 pounds. The entire weight of the car, float, and fix tures is about 4,000 pounds, leaving 2,500 pounds surplus. It is designed to run about 200 feet above the surface of the earth, at a rate of speed varying from 25 to 50 miles per hour. The engines are a curiosity, their weight being 181 pounds, and so per fect are they, that by force of his lungs Mr. Rohjohn caused both pistons to work a full revolution, carrying a driving wheel of five feet diameter. The rudder is worthy of minute examination, and by it it is de • signed to run up or down, or in any required direc tion. The car is suspended by cords to the float, and when the whole is inflated and suspended in mid-air under the estimated velocity, it will be a rare sight. The reality of such a scheme can hardly be compre hended until one examines the admirable machinery, and actually sits down in the car, when its feasibility seems to be probable. The ship thus far has cost the inventor about 5,500 dollars, and he now re quires only a few hundred more to perfect and set afloat his air ship. It is designed to drive this vessel by steam, and to obviate the necessity of fuel, Mr. Robjohn says he has discovered a plan for decompos ing water, igniting the gases, which again become water, which is converted into steam by the combus tion, and this steam is again condensed and returned for decomposition, thus securing entire immunity from waste and a uniform weight during the longest voyages. The present arrangement of the engines are, however, on the usual reciprocity plan, driven by ste am, generated from coke and spirits of wine. The vessel lies on the plain west of Hoboken village, and is surrounded by a strong enclosure, 290 by 275 feet —the whole under the constant surveillance of a watchman. Several capitalists are examining the plan, and it is to be hoped that the want of a few hundred dollars may not be the means of prevent ing a fair trial of this grand attempt to navigate the air. Any person desirous of examining this affair can always do so by calling on Mr. Robjohn, at his office, 166, Bowery, or at the stocks in Hoboken, about one mile from the ferry.--/Vew York Tribune.

SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1851. re ached a turn out,' when the cortege passed by. I soon overtook my employer, and inquired who the distinguished personage was who had just passed us, and was informed that it was George Washington ! I obtained permission to run on and see if I could catch another glimpse of the great chieftain, whose deeds during the war bad so filled my wondering fancy. As there was no bridge across the Connecticut at that time, I hoped that the ferry-boat might be on the opposite side, and that I might reach the beach before it arrived. In this I was not disappointed. I found General Washington standing upon the shore of the river, dressed in a snuff-colour surtout, with a long lapelled vest of the same colour and material, and in 'small clothes' and boots, and the most majestic and dignified-looking man he was I ever saw. Whilst I was gazing upon him, one of his postilions drove up, and dismounting and uncovering bis head, said in the most deferential manner, and with an expression of injured dignity. Your Excellency, as we were driving along, a little way back, we overtook a man with a loaded cart, who occupied the entire road. I asked him to stop his team that we might pass by. He declined. I then told him that President Washington was in the chariot. He again refused, and said tbat he would not stop—that he had as good a right to the road as George Washington had.' The simple reply of Washington to this was, ' And so he had.' The postilion, after a moment's look of wonder and astonishment at the condescension of the President of the United States, quietly put on his hat and again mounted his horse. I watched the cortege until it was out of sight, but my impression and memory of Washington are as vivid and distinct this moment as if I had seen the great man only yes terday."—American Sun. THE NEW AMERICAN FLYING SHIP. A. VETERAN. There is now living in the parish of Welford, near Newbury, John Hatton, formerly a private soldier in the 52d Regiment of Light Infantry, and now iu his 77th year. Hatton enlisted in the Ist Royal Dragoons in the year 1795, and on the reduction of that regiment served for some time in the Berkshire Militia, from which he volunteered into the 52d, and was with that regiment, in the year 1801, ordered to Portugal, where the 52d formed part of the light division commanded by General Craufurd, afterwards killed at Ciudad Rodrigo. Hatton was present at the battle of Vimiera, and was with Sir Jehn Moore's army in the disastrous retreat on, and ba tle of Corunna. The light division, in the summer of 1809, made every e,Fertion to be present at Talavera, but in spite of all efforts they arrived the day after the action, having made, according to Napier, one of the most ex traordinary marches on record, " and leaving only 17 stragglers behind, in 26 hours accomplished a march of 62 English miles, beneath a burning sun." In the fol lowing year flatten was present at Basaco, where the 52d made a most brilliant charge, contributing greatly to the success of the day, and subsequently retired with th e army behind the lines of Torres Vedras. In May, 1811, ho was engaged at the battle of Fuentes d'Onor. and in the following year was present at the storming of Ciudad Rodrigo and Badajoz ; at the former of which places the light division lost their general, Craufurd, who was killed, and Colonel Colborne, of the 52d (now Lord Seaton), was severely wounded. Hatton was sub sequently present with his regiment at Salamanca, Vit toria, and in the battles in the south of France in 1813- 14, including Toulouse, and finally wound up his glorious career at Waterloo, where the 52d, un der their old Colonel, Colborne, had the distinguished honour, at the close of that memorable day, of charging and putting to the rout a division of the French Imperial Guard. With the exception of a slight wound in the finger at Waterloo, flatten has never had blood drawn iu action. He was decorated with Peninsular and Waterloo medals, and clasps for Corunna, Basaco, Fuentes d'Onor, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badejoz, Salamanca, and Vittoria. For this lengthened and perilous service he receives a shilling a day, which scarcely suffices to meet the requirements of increasing age and infirmities.—Reading Mercury. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Aug. 15.) SUGAR.—To -day only limited purchases were made in West India Sugar, and rather lower rates were taken for inferior sorts, making a fall for the week of ed to is, but on the better qualities of yellow the decline is not more than 61. The purchases aro 550 hhds, &c., includ ing at auction 225 pkgs Nevis, which sold at 30s 6d to 32s 6d for low to fine brown, and at 33s to 37s for com mon to good yellow ; 46 hhds Demerara crystalized, good yellow 42s to 435, and mid 38s. REFINED.—To-day there was no variation in the value of Refined Sugar, but home dealers made purchases with reluctance, and the supply is getting more plentiful. Crushed Sugar met with a dull demand for exportation, and at the rates of yesterday there are free sellers. MAIIRITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with little notice; the better kinds of yellow sustained the former value, but inferior and brown went rather cheaper. At auction 4,010 bags sold—low to mid brown went at 283 to 305, better sorts 31s to 335; low to good yellow 378 to 37s 6d per owt. Pot:max.—To-day holders of Foreign generally re fused to submit to any further reduction; the private operations were of little moment, and confined chiefly to a cargo of brown Bahia at 17s 6d for fair quality. At auction 110 pkgs 227 bags Brazil were only in part sold, low to fine brown Bahia at 28s 6d to 32s 6d, low yellow 32s 6d to 335, and brown Pernambuco at 29s to 32s per owt: of Egyptian 50 pkgs went at 355 for fair yellow, and at 33s for low. These are rather lower rates. Two cargoes yellow Havannah sold at 20s 6d to 20s 9d equal to No. 11k. COFFEE.—This afternoon Plantation Ceylon C( flee met with ready purchasers. and in some cases stiffer rates are paid; at auction 252 casks all sold, mid 546 to 575, low mid 52s to 535, fine to fine fine ord 463 to 51s, pea berry 58s to 625, and triage 358 to 43. 6d. Native met a good demand, and the parcels sold privately were at 41s to 41s 6 , 1; at auction 303 bags realized 418 for good ord, and 34s to 39s for demigod. Of Bahia 610 bags were Waken in at 36s 6d to 37s for good ord, chiefly at 36s 6d, being above the value, but damaged sold at 29s 6d to 34s per cwt. Sexces.—With Nutmegs the market continues to be sparingly supplied, there are several buyers, and prices have an upward tendency—low to mid sound brown realizing 2s 3d to 2s 10d, better sorts 3s to 3s 8d ; and low to fine limed Is 6d to 2s Bd. Ginger is still pun chased with caution ; and prices are yet on the decline for Jamaica, the public sales of 250 pckga went at 47s to 77s for ord to good ; and one lot fine at 1235. African is to be obtained at 24s 6d to 25s 6d; and shipping East India at 15s to 17s; but operations have been trifling. The Cinnamon market has a dull aspect, especially for the lower sorts; there are sellers of Ceylon at, from is 8d to 3s 4d for first sort; is 3d to 2s 4d for second, and at 9d to 2s per lb for third and fourth. To-day the public sales of Ginger went at lower rates, 200 cs Cochin sel ling at 43s to 46s 6d for mid home trade sort, and 395 to 42s for common; 71 brls Jamaica, ord to mid 46s to 47s per cwt. COCHINEAL. —The demand has been brisker this week for all sorts, and full rates are obtained. At auction 210 bags Honduras nearly all sold; low to mid silvers went at 25 lid to 3s 3d, good to fine 33 4d to 3s 8d; good to fine black 3s 9d to 4s sd, inferior and mid 3s id to 3s 8d; 80 bap Mexican Silvers 35 to 33 3d. black 3s 4d to 33 6 d; 6 bags Ttllerifre 3s 9d to 35 lid; small parcels of Naples* N Papal States* N Peninsular..

MEMBER RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PARLIAMENT. Borough of Downpatrick.—l'he Hon. Charles Stewart Hardinge, in the room of Richard Ker, Esq., who has accepted the office of Steward of her Majesty's Chiltern Hundreds. Granilla realised 2s 3d to 2s sd, and Gorblings is 3d to Is 6 , 1. Stock is 2.000 bags more than last year. INmao.—The market for East India is in a firm posi tion, there is a fair home trade and export demand, whilst the rates obtained are 2d to 3d per lb above the last quarterly sales; Madras, Kurpah, and good Bengal are yet most in demand. Of Spanish the supply has fallen off, and there a fair business doing, at prices rather above those of this day week; Sobres selling at 4s to ss; Cortes is 6rl to 4s Od per lb. SALTPETRE.—To-day Saltpetre met with a good de mand, and realised stiffer rates. At public sale 1,845 bags were nearly all sold; Calcutta, refraction 4t to 41 per cent. went at 28s for good quality—fine 1 ditto 295, damaged 225 to 265. Madras, sound 13i per cent 25s 6d, and 71 ditto 26s 6cl per cwt. OILS.--The demand for Seal Oil has further di minished, and prices have declined, limited purchases having been made in pale at 341 to 341 103; and other descriptions at 311 to 32/. There are few buyers of Cod, and 361 is the current value, with a down ward tendency. Southern is in good demand, and supply being small buyers have been compelled to pay 321 105 to 331 10s for good to fine, and 311 103 to 321 for interior sorts. Prices are sustained for Sperm; but transactions have been limited at 841 to 861 for colonial, and the market will be more freely supplied shortly. Headmatter has been selling at 90/ to 92l per tun. There are few home or export buyers of Cocoa Nut, and rates have a downward tendency; Ceylon selling at 293 6d to 31a 6d; and Cochin 31s to 32s 6d; still con sumption, is yet on the increase. Rape Seed Oil has been operated in with caution, and a reduction is apparent ; the supply is also more plentiful ; sales of brown have been made at 323 6d to 335; Refined 343; Foreign 341 6d to 353 ; and brown East India 34s 6d to 335. Teel Seed is dull of sale at 30s 6d to 31s. Lin seed Oil has been operated in with reluctance both for shipping and home use, rates have receeded, and rule at 32s 6d to 335; still production does not much exceed the consumption. For forward delivery there is, however, a good demand at 325, and with not free sellers. TALLOW.—This afternoon the public sales of Tallow went off at full rates; 350 casks South American at 36s to 37s 9d, and 260 Australian—good Mutton 37s to 37s 6d; Beef, rather soft 36a 6d to 36a 9d per cwt.

There is a good arrival of wheat, and a steady sale for good fresh qualities at the prices of last Friday. No change in the value of oats and shelling, but the demand very limited.

There was no business of importance transacted to-day, and prices remained about stationary.
