There is a long article in the Assembles Nationale of yesterday on the recent visit of a deputation of bankers, merchants, and traders of the city of London. This journal appears anxious to destroy any impression favourable to the cause of peace, which has resulted from the manifestation in ques tion, but in the task that it has taken upon itself it resorts to many fallacies. The ministerial jour nals of Paris have perhaps given greater import ance to that manifestation than it deserved, but it was certainly more important than the Assembles Nationale would have the world- to believe ; and any ridicule which may have been thrown upon it by a portion of the English press, which has latterly attacked everything systematically that had its origin east of Temple-bar, will not have much effect on reflecting and sober minds. The Assembles reminds us that when the peace of Amiens was announced in England there was great rejoicing, and the people took the horses from the carriage of the French ambassador, and har nessed themselves with it. " Who," says the A ssemblee, " would have then said that in a short time there would commence between Eng land and France one of the most implacable wars in history 1" From the fact of such a war having broken out, the Assembles infers that the English Government is indifferent to the expression of popular feeling, and must therefore be still more indifferent to the manifestation in favour of peace of a portion of the citizens of London. More than fifty years have passed since the peace of Amiens, and during that time the influence of popular opinion in England over the Government has been constantly increasing. Remarkable changes have taken place, too, in the character of Governments in England. The men who arrive at power in that country appreciate the benefits of peace, and labour to impress the same feeling on the people. They do not desire war, as was formerly the case, as a means of imposing this or that dynasty, or this or that form of government upon a foreign nation, or as a means of patronage in the army and navy. They disclaim all right to interfere in the internal affairs of other States, and seek the maintenance of peace in order that the revenues of their own coun try may be improved by commerce, and the bur thens of taxation be lightened. The Assembles Na tionale should recollect, that of the fifty years which have elapsed since the peace of Amiens, nearly forty have passed in consecutive peace, which has served to convince nations of the folly of war when it can be avoided without the sacrifice of honour, and that the relations of interest between the people of the two countries have become so numerous and important, that the British Parlia ment, without whose concurrence no war can be commenced, would hesitate, without very strong motives indeed, at voting the funds, even if the Government should be rash enough to propose a war without being able to show that it was abso lutely necessary for the vindication of national honour, or to obtain reparation for a violation of the guarantees which have been given in favour of English capital embarked in French enterprise. The Municipal Council of Brest has voted 100,000 f. for the reception of the Emperor on his journey into Brittany. The earthquake on Friday night was not only felt at Havre and Caen, but also at Falaise, St. Lo, Alencon, Rennes, St. Brieux, and Nantes. There are, however, no reports of any accident, though the shocks were strong, and lasted from five to ten seconds. An envoy from the Pope arrived in Paris on Sunday evening. The Presse says that one of the imperial carriages was in waiting for him at the station of the Lyons railroad. " A rumour - has been in circulation for some days," says the Siecle, " that the poet Beranger had expired at Passy. We are happy to be able to de clare that this rumour is altogether unfounded, as the health of the illustrious writer is excellent, and causes no uneasiness to his friends." The Moniteur contains a decree nominating M. Cimir Delavigne auditor of the second class, to the Council of State. Count SL Legier, member of the General Coun cil of Charente Inferieure ; M. de Ronnefort, muni 'cipal councillor in the commune of Villefranche ; and M. de Bonsonge, mayor, have refused to take the oath of fidelity to the Emperor, and are accord ingly deprived of their functions. Numerous re fusals of the same nature are taking place through out the country. At the Bourse yesterday Rentes continued to de cline. There was much dulness in the market, and prices closed with a downward tendency. The Three per Cents. for cash and the account each fell 30c. ; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for cash, gave way 40c., and for the account, 20c. The quo tations for Rentes are alike for both cash and the account, the Three per Cents. closing at 79f. 20c., and the Four-and-a-half per Cents. at 103 f. Bank Stock, which for the last few days has been gradually advancing in value, experienced a farther rise yesterday of 5f., and closed at 2,695 f. replacement of Marshal Radetzky, who is to be placed on the retired list, with the title of Prince of the Blood, in recompense for his long and loyal services." The Milan Gazette of the 31st ult. publishes a notification announcing that from that day the bastions round the city, which had been closed to public circulation dice the events of February, shall be again accessible from five in the morning to eight in the evening. The public are henceforth to have access to• the fortifications from 5 o'clock in the morning to 8 in the evening, `- - ---• i agst Gadabout.

In the sitting of the previous day the senate was engaged in discussing the vote of the minority of the committee on the representation of the Duke de Valentia. An amendment to the effect that " the Senate decides that there are no grounds for deliberating on the representation of the Duke of Valentia, because so long as there are no direct proceedings instituted against him nor any sentence which inflicts civil incapacity on him, he has a right to come and take part in the business of the Senate," was presented by Joaquin Maria Lopez, and was ably developed by its author and opposed by Generals Sanz and Pezuela. It was ul timately rejected by a majority of 95 to 59. After some further discussion on the question itself, it was again adjourned. In the Chamber of Deputies the demand of the government for authorisation to collect the taxes was met by three amend ments from the Od solelypposition t , oh b g u iv t e th a e n y appearedto opportunity for criticising the ac t s of vote on the Governmentd a t a e n d took Governmentplplace.. Ac countsNo from Cuba to the I st island was enjoying the most pulertiecsttattreantqhuaitilitthye. An account which has reached us by express, dated the Ist. inst., states that the Chamber of Deputies had assembled in its bureaux, and elected com mittee of seven members to make a report a the 01l bill relative to the loan. Three of the number chosen belong to the opposition. The public funds had undergone a rather considerable decline, parti cularly the coupons. The Duchess de Seville, wife of the Infante Don Enrique de Bourbon, brother of the King of Spain, was safely delivered of a son on the 29th ult. at Toulouse. The young Prince was baptised by the names of Francois-Marie-Trinite-Henri, A. Royal ordinance commands an enlistment of 25,000 men from the contigent of 1853. The Three per Cents. were at 43 15-16. The Constibittionnel says--" Letters from Vienna have brought to Milan intelligence which has pro duced the greatest sensation. They affirm as posi tive that, after a deliberation of the whole Im perial family, the young Emperor of Austria has adopted the following resolutions, relative to the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom :-3.st, the substitu tion of the civil authority for the military power ; 2d, a full amnesty to the refugees, on condition of their immediately returning home ; and idly, the SARDINIA. The Chamber of Deputies of Sardinia has adopted the bill on the slave trade (Traite des Noirs if) by 70 against 33 votes. In its sitting of the Ist, the Chamber of Dept ties at Turin passed the Slavery Repression Bill by 70 votes to 33. In its sitting of the 31st ult., the Provincial Council of Genoa voted 60,000 f. towards the rail road through Switzerland. AUSTRIA. The refugee question is settled. The British Go vernment has promised to keep a strict guard on the refugees, and to visit them with the full severity of the law whenever it should be proved that they have taken part in revolutionary intrigues. It has been rumoured that the Emperor, of the French had, on the application of the Sardinian government, made common cause with it in a demand on Austria for the revocation of the decree of sequestration on the property in Lombardy of persons who have emigrated and obtained letters of naturalisation in Piedmont. A letter from Vienna, of the 30th ult., says, on the contrary, that the Emperor Napoleon, although he deplores this measure, and bas desired his minister at Vienna to urge clemency and generosity, has distinctly disclaimed all right to intervene officially in a question of internal government. A letter from Vienna of the 30th ult., in a Frankfort journal, asserts that dispatches had been received at Vienna from the Russiam ambassador in London, declaring that the English Government has refused to take any part in the Eastern ques tion. The Cologne Gazette states, from Vienna, that on the 27th ult. more than 100 ammunition waggons and a park of artillery were sent off by the railroad. According to one report, they were intended for Dalmatia and Croatia ; another re port was that they were destined for Italy. The Cologne Gazette states that Marshal Ra detzky is seriously ill. TURKEY. We find the following in the Debats : " Our letters by the Egyptus give some fresh informa tion as to the proceedings of Prince Menschikoff, which is not with interest. The language of the Russian en voy is md4,e conciliating, and his forms more mild, but there is still in his conduct an affectation of superiority which wounds and irritates the susceptibility of the Turkish Government. Soon after his arrival, the Prince sent emissaries into all the provinces of the em pire ; these emissaries, who were chosen from among the persons who accompanied him, are charged to in spect these provinces, to state the respective number of the different populations ; the state of the Turks and of the Greek, Latin, or free Catholics ; to make inquiries relative to the functionaries of the Government ; to as certain the extent of their influence and authority, and the use they make of it ; to study the feelings of the people, and whether they are _favourable or otherwise towards the Government. One of these envoys of Prince Menschikoff, Admiral Kirloff, has been specially sent to Athens ;. he is to render an account of the military position of that capital and of the port of the Piraeus, and he will also explore, in the same point of view, the gulfs of Nauplio and Coron. Admiral Kirloff is accom panied by two officers, who will carry their investiga tions as far as the frontiers of Montenegro, and will even proceed into the interior of that conntry if they find it necessary. As we have already said, the Prince was received on the 10th instant, at a private audience of the Sultan, but it was merely one of etiquette and courtesy, in which everything passed of coolly, but with strict pro priety, Nothing in the shape of business was alluded to. On the 15th Prince Menschikoff had not yet handed in his ultimatum. It is nevertheless said that he has de clared that he should not oppose the question of the Holy Places being made the subject of a conference to be opened at Constantinople, between Russia, the Porte, France, and Austria, on condition, however, that before any discussion Russia and the Porte shall come to an un derstanding on the points long since settled to the bene fit of Russia by treaties, or conventions or capitu tions before they were modified by the late Firmans, in order to establish .the point from which the discus sions were to start, and moreover provided it be agreed that whenever the Porte makes any concession to France, Austria, or England, an equivalent one shall be made to Russia in order that her position may always preserve the pre-eminence and experience no relative weakening. A few days after the imperial conference of the 10th, the Grand Vizir went in great state to pay an official visit to Prince Menschikoff. This visit pro duced a great impression on the public mind at Con stantinople. It was said that a Grand Vizir had never before paid a visit to a foreign minister, and the Turks regarded the unusual demonstration as a proof of the decadency of their empire. The accounts which had reached the Turkish capital capital relative to the move ments of the Russian armies, also caused great agitation in the public mind. The 4th corps which is stationed in Besserabia, will be reinforced by detachments from Odessa ; and will afterwards approach the Turkish frontier. An immense quantity of stores has been collected at Odessa, and on different points of the coasts, sufficient for an army of from 150,000 to 200,000 men for a long campaign. Enlightened men nevertheless think that these mili tary movements on the part of Russia, are only in tended to exercise a moral influence over the Porte, and that the Emperor Nicolas entertains no idea of war. It is generally believed that the present crisis will be paci fically settled, and we completely share in this opinion. It is, however, a serious attack made on the Ottoman Government, from which it will be difficult for it to soon recover." A dispatch (says the _Patric) from the Piraaus states that several French, English, and Russian vessels of war were lying in the port. A superior officer in the Russian army had arrived at Athens, where he had been received in a private audience by their Grecian Majesties. Intelligence hid been received from Constantinople perfectly satisfactory as to the situation of affairs in the Levant. At the present moment there is a general maritime movement in this part of the Mediterranean, but not the slightest apprehension of hostility is enter tained. PRUSSIA. A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin, says : " The treaties which reconstitute the Zollverein with the Stuerverein have been signed by all the plenipotentiaries, who have also given their adhe sion to the treaty of commerce concluded between Prussia and Austria." The Government of Baden has menaced Switzer land with greater rigour on the frontier, if the Con federation does not furnish more efficacious guaran tees against the abuse of the hospitality enjoyed by the refugees. The Swiss have been prohibited seeking employment in Baden. Several arrests have taken place at Cologne ; the railways are daily brin g i ng pr i soners in from other Rhenish localities. The Prussian Government has appointed ast officer of high rank to proceed to England, in order to study its military institutions. The Tiln,es of Berlin, of the Ist, states that the domiciliary visits'continue, and that more arrests, SPORTING NOTES.—No: OCCOVL EPSOM SPRING MEETING.—A first-rate days sport commences at 1 o'clock to-morrow with the Epsom Trial Stakes of 5 sovs. each, with 50 added, over the mile course. Among the entries are to be found the high sounding names of Hobbie Noble, Weathergage, Frantic, I cannot imagine thatEph e ll s u o s b , b j a e n N d Bb d le w - - t ill he-Wing.like this ; he is,ftohre adissttaankcee more likely to be actly suiting )dim ; course, but a s h l e -13 t W h u w i l i n l i ne l k l dg h w o e i u n i t s , absent, I shall turn to FRAN TIC as the most likely horse to win, he being much faster than Weathergage or Bird on-the-Wing at the mile, and I think more than a match for Ephesus at this distance. At a quarter to 2, the City and Suburban Handicap of 15 sovs. each, 10 ft., &c., with 150 sovs. added, the last mile and a quarter of the New Derby Course, will be run off. This stake, out of its 84 nominations, will, I have not the slightest doubt, afford the largest field of the day. As far as I have been able to ascertain, it will consist of the following :—Longbow, Prime Minister, Glenluce, Evadne, Convulsion, Kate, the Heriot, Allegro, Narcissus (d), Babette, Wedlock, filly (4 yrs), Defiance, Chilton (d), Ethelbert, Stamford, Madam Landeau, the Varmint, Snarry, Jullien, Pan cake, Appleton, Jouvence, Ann Page, and perhaps five or six more. Out of a field like this, it is not at all an easy task to select the winner, especially when the ma jority of the trials have been won easily. Longbow figures at the top weight at Bst 81b, but notwithstanding that the course is a quarter of a mile longer than he fan cies, and that the weight is very stiff, that he has to concede to nearly all the runners, I have but little doubt but under Alfred Day's management, he will be one of the first three, if not the absolute first. Prime Minister will be sure to run well. Glenluce, I know but little about ; it is rumoured, however, that she will have Nat up. Evadne's chance cannot be a bad one at 7st 51b, and the distance is a matter of no consequence to her, as she has proved herself equally at h ome at all lengths. Con vulsion we saw beaten easily enough the other day ; we may set his champion on one side. Kate is no better than the preceding. As I observed the other day, Allegro is much fancied by the backers of his stable, from which I argue that there is some danger from this quarter to be apprehended.tf:nocymuch for.Babetteto. Defiance;th i as a time.nd 6st.t h Ti e ll 7 leb e ,s d tea l a o rr c tr k i ineg fi s o l filly T C l ittle h h i a l v to e n b n i l o t hold to be extremely doubtful, as he seems to be much better in for the Railway Plate. Ethelbert, over this course—which I take is the distance he likes best—is a very dangerous animal to be against, as his weight, though heavy, is not sufficiently so to stop him effec tually. Madame Landeau has many admirers, but I am not among them. The Varmint is a thorough brute, but at the weight-sst. 41b. for a four-years-old— ought, if meant, to run very forward. Snarry, an other animal of the same class and age, at a pound less, will get near the front, but has not heart enough to win. Jullien, same age and weight as the last named, will also finish in the front rank. If Pan cake, let in at 21bs less than Jullien and Snarry, cannot finish somewhere about the mark, had better be put out of training. Sting's daughter, Jouvence, will beat Ann Page and all the other three-year-old light weights. To draw my remarks to a point, I consider that the race ought to lie with Longbow, Evadne, Ethelbert, Jouv ence, and Pancake • and that of these'the ex-Premier's horse LONGBOW or hTHELBERT ought to hold the leading position, the others being very close up. The Two-year-old Stakes of 10 sovs. each, 50 added, half a mile, is the next stake on the card for decision. A good field will go to the post, and in the absence of Spinaway, who has been " off," the winner will not im .probably be found in EPAMINONDAS or HIMALAYA. The next race, marked for half-past three, is the grand attraction of the day—the Great Metropolitan Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft., &c., with 350 added, two miles and a quarter. In consequence of the great favouritism of Contentment, the field will be much smaller than it would otherwise have been, but as it is, it will be one of very fair dimensions. The starting list will comprise the names of the following :—Candlewick, filly by Venison, Pug Orrock, Happy Joe, Richmond, Gadabout, Snow don Dunhill, Fionn ma Coul, Invasion, Ireland's Eye, Peggy, Pantomime, Contentment, and probably some five or six others, whose starting at the present moment has not been decided on. Candlewick is much too slow fOr a race like what this will be. The Venison filly is a bit of a mystery to me. Pug Orrock, taking the line through Defiance and the capital work he has has been doing lately into consideration, ought to finish very for ward. Happy Joe, I should think, would not improve much on his Northampton running. Richmond is a very inferior animal. Gadabout has been tried to be better than Grapeshot, and in consequence will run moderately well. Snowdon Dunhill, looking at his last performance, in public, and the confidence reposed in him by his stable is, I presume, certain to obtain a place. Fionn ma Coul is " dark" to me. Invasion Ido not fear. Ireland's Eye comes from Day's stable, with a strong reputation, which I think he will maintain to a certain extent ; that is to say, he may run into a place. Peggy, it seems, is the hope of the Midland lot. Pantomime is well bred for the distance, and had she been backed by her stable, would have been fancied by me. Content ment, last, but not considered to be the least, on the list, is to be, without Mr. Parr has made an egregious mis take, the horse. I fancy the race will terminate in this wise—CONTENTMENT or PUG °BROCK, I ; Snowdon and Ireland's Eye in the next two places. The Selling Stakes and Railway Plate will bring' a long afternoon's amusement to a conclusion between five and six o'clock. f, Priam." The clever seer of the BITS OP TuRE, by Racing Times has issued, in a compact form, some very graphic sketches of racing incidents published last year in that paper. They are true to life, and the world would be no loser if a few more in the same style were current, as it would let those prejudiced against sporting know the exact grounds of their dislike, and drive away many ugly fancies. The book furnishes an hour's plea sant and light reading. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. LAUGHABLE JUVENILE TURN-OUT. - -The turn-out fever, which is'so prevalent at present amongst the workmen of this town, has just commenced to infect the juvenile portion of the community. On Wednesday morning last a number of youths, e mployed as assistants t o t h e boiler-makers in the Victoria engine-works, Kirkdale, conceiving that their wages, which averaged about 3s. ed. or 4s. a week, were too small, turned out in a body at the breakfast hour, and demanded from the manager ss. a week before they resumed work. The notice was pre mature and unexpected, and the workmen were unable to proceed with their work for want of their assistants ; but all this did not operate in favour of the boys, for the manager refused their demands, and in a very short time supplied their places with other lads. In the after noon the turn-outs assembled at the gate, armed with sticks and stones, fully determined to wroak their ven geance on the young " knobsticks " who had supplanted them. Some stones were thrown into the boiler-shed, and at one time they made a regular attack. Upon the foreman, however, making his appearance with a stick to repel them, they instantly decamped, and escaped de tection. At leaving-off time the turn-outs again met at the works, for the purpose of inflicting punishment on the strange lads, a nd some of the latter had to be escorted home. Yesterday, it was said, a few of the juveniles who " struck " obtained employment else where, and the business at the Victoria engine -works was allowed to proceed in its usual course—Liverpool Mercury. ad xd 1044 4 21 ixd 46 H i 13i 13 81i 48 123 108 7 t 91 90 1i 7 5 i i fi qiii 1014 3i 4 118 i 194 [lBl 19 r4a i i 751 36 81 58 1 8 9 _2 _ 19,f x d 14i i i 33 1 B i 91 i i pm MINES. 1 all Agua Fria 10s all A.uglo pll - , 10 2 k.ustralashzu . —l/ p 20 5 Australian 1 all Australian Cordillera P 1 all Australian Freehold. 1d p 1 all Ave Maria 1 all Baden (Gd.

We are now in possession of more full and au thentic particulars of the late untoward occurrence near Donabew, on the Irrawaddy, than could be transmitted by the telegraph which communicated the news of this disaster, and, although our previous knowledge of the operations in which the British forces in Burmah had been recently engaged enabled us to conjecture with great accuracy what must have taken place, the details of the event will still be read with melancholy interest. It seems that a portion of the Burmese force, commanded by a chief named Moung-mya-toon, had possessed itself of a strong position at Donabew and in the neigh bouring jungles, from which it was judged necessary by the Deputy-Commissioner in Pegue to dislodge it. In consequence of this determination the Com mandant of the garrison of Rangoon resolved to detach a force, consisting of 300 men of the 67th Bengal Light Infantry, on this service, and Commodore Lambert ordered Captain Loch to join the expedition, having under his command 185 seamen, 62 marines, and 25 officers from her Majesty's ships Winchester, Fox, and Sphynx ; but of those 42 seamen and 5 officers were left in charge of the boats. This combined force was conveyed from Rangoon to Donabew on the 2d of February in the Phlegethon and the ships' boats. They landed at that place without opposition, and, having procured some natives as guides, and to assist in drawing two 3-pound field guns belonging to the Phlethegon, on the following day they pro ceeded to march towards the position which the enemy was supposed to occupy. It may here be remarked that it was known at Rangoon before the expedition started that the Burmese chief had under his command 4,000 well-armed men, stockaded in a strong position, with heavy guns and jinghals. Nevertheless, the force detached against him was considered amply sufficient by the senior officer on the station, and perhaps the facility with which the Burmese had on many former occasions been driven from their guns had given rise to an excessive de gree of confidence. The column marched all day on the 3d of Feb ruary along a pathway which lay through a deep jungle of forest trees and brushwood. They en camped for the night in a deserted village about Jib miles from Donabew. The camp was well guarded, but it was occasionally disturbed by the distant shots and horns of the enemy. Early on the fol lowing morning the detachment mov e d on a b out five miles furthr along the same path, until it ab ruptly terminated on the side of a broad nullah, or creek; the opposite bank of which was high enough to command the approach, and the whole well en trenched and armed after the manner of the native fortifications of Burmah. The road at this point had been narrowed by an abattis of sharp-pointed bamboos, which rendered it impossible to deploy the whole strength of the column ; indeed, the advanced guard, consisting of seamen and marines, appears to have been advancing with difficulty two or three abreast, and the field guns were in the rear. At this moment a heavy and murderous fire was opened by the enemy upon the British troops, the Burmese being wholly concealed behind breastworks, and our men wholly exposed. Almost every man who ap pioached the edge of that fatal creek was mowed down. Lieutenant Kennedy, first lieutenant of the Fox, and Captain Price, of the 67th Bengal In fantry, were among the first victims, and were killed on the spot. Captain Loch led on his gallant fol lowers with the utmost daring, and for 10 minutes he still seemed, to use the expression of one of his companions, " to bear a charmed life," for he stood unhurt in the midst of that terrible fire. Tice he made an unsuccessful attempt to lead his men across the nullah to storm the post hand to hand, but as he rallied the seamen an d mar i nes f or a . _ third attack, a ball, fired by a man in v a tree, struck him on the left side, on his watch, and with such force that it drove the watch itself into his body. He instantly felt that he was mortally wounded, but had still strength and self-posses sion to fall back about 15 paces to the rear. The command of the naval force, which had hitherto sustained the brunt of the action, devolved by the death and wounds of the senior officers on Com mander Lambert, the son of the commanding officer on the station. The attack was again twice re newed, but in vain. Captain Lambert received four balls through his clothes, though he fortunately escaped unhurt ; but a large proportion of officers and men were already wounded. It therefore became indispensable to provide for the retreat of the column by the road by which it had advanced, the fire of the enemy being still severe, and the jun gle impervious in every other direction. The native Dhooly bearers and guides had, for the most part, decamped, not without suspici on o f treachery, and it became absolutely necessary to employ every upon the fi e ld , who d c e o a u d l d werebe s par a e v d 0 i i d n a b carryingleft the man wounded. and, as it was impossible und ft e . r these distress destroed. they ing circumstances to carry enemywere k spikedepkept napnad distantthca rri fire ag°e b s ,ut never ventured the guns to approach within fighting covered distance of the rear, which was manfully company of the 67th the .

The detachment of the 67th Regithent had 5 men killed and 18 wounded in a force of 300 ; the sea men and marines had 7 killed and 52 wounded in a force of 143 men, 60 marines, and 20 officers, in the action. The force of the en em y amounted, in fact, to a small army, in a position which could not be attacked without:extreme difficulty; and though we shall doubtless learn by the next mail that this check has been avenged, nothing can compensate for the lives of the officers and men who have fallen in this service.

Although the attendance of buyers was small, the demand for most kinds ruled tolerably firm, at Monday's prices. For forward delivery very little was doing. From abroad upwards of 11,000 quarters of wheat have reached us. Selected samples were held at full currencies, but all other qualities were dull in the extreme. In floating cargoes very few transactions were reported. Malting barley was in short supply, and fair inquiry, at full quotations. (Minding and distilling sorts, including malt, commanded very little attention. We were fairly supplied with oats, for which the inquiry uled steady, at full prices. Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly, at late rates. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Barley. Malt. 370 i 820 440 Wheat. 740 English .. Irish .... Foreign ..
