TUESDAY MORNING, THE supporters of her Majesty's government do not appear greatly elated by their majority of ten in the House of Lords, in favour of the repeal of •the Navigation Laws. Such a majority, on a question on which the fate of the minority was expressly staked, in a house known to be at all times unwilling to inconvenience the sovereign, is not one to be regarded as decisive of their lordship's impartial judgment ; and, coupled with the fact of a largely decreased majority in the Commons, it is not one that should embolden the ministry to rush upon a great change, which is protested against by an influential majority of the mercantile classes throughout the em pire. In the two night's debate, the preponderance of ability, experience, and information upon the subject was on the side of the advocates of a more temperate and cautious policy; and from all thesa considerations we can very easily account for a little irritation existing in the minds of the sup porters of the government bill, and an inclination to throw dirt at Lord 3tEtulcy, whose linv”intable truths they find themselves unable to overthrow, and of those constituencies whose remonstrances have strengthened the bands of his lordship and I.;‘, nis party. We are not at all surprised, therefore, at the • lent ill-temper displayed by the London limps_ in discussing . the question in his publication Y of Thursday—an ill-temper which has driven him to drop a few admissions which, in his cooler mo ments, he would probably have kept in his own breast. Thus our contemporary is disposed to admit, with Lord Stanley, that our commercial marine, against which a heavy blow is to be dealt by this bill, " employs nearly 230,000 seamen ; and in the trades connected with it there are embarked from £50,000,000 to £60,000,000 of capital; that these trades employed, besides the seamen, 80,000 artificers; that these 80,000 artificers divided amongst them about £5,000,000 annually in wages; and that the freights earned by the vessels of this country, by British shipowners, and paid in wages to British seamen, artizans, and artificers, were no less than £28,600,000." He admits, also, with Lord Stanley, that the operation of the bill would be to reduce freights some 25 per cent. Of course this would be to reduce the value of the shipping, and of the capital of trades connected with the shipping, 25 per cent, and to throw a large portion of our seamen and artizans out of employ ment ; but then he says, these people are only " a class." Though they may suffer, the consumers at large will be benefitted by cheap freights ; and our foreign trade will also be increased. But we may remind our contemporary, and those who reason after his fashion, that society is formed of classes ; that if we prostrate these classes one after another, we shall shortly have paupers for our only class. We have knocked down the agricultural class. We have abstracted 25 per cent from the profits of all interested in the soil and engaged in its culture, to "benefit the consumer ;" we are abstracting 25 per cent from the profits of the shipowner, the wages of the sailor and the artizan, "for the benefit of the consumer." We must proceed—for these are days of progress—and weaken other interests, "for the benefit of the consumer." But in the advanced stages of this process, where will the consumer be found ? Certainly not in this once happy and prosperous England ! We are partly in error, by the bye. We shall still have two classes of consumers, although not the consumers to whom the Times refers ; and these will be large consumers. We shall have the pauper class above mentioned, on the one hand, eating up the diminished profits of industry; ab sorbing gradually the capital of the tradesman and the shopkeeper ; and, on the other hand, we shall have the class which the Times so feelingly repre sents—the large capitalist class, the Jones Lloyds and Sir Robert Peels of the world, the "men made of money," with the fundowners, the annuitants, the mortgagees. and people of fixed incomes. Woe, in those days, to the men who owe a debt ! These two classes will be our consumers ; and bonsume not only our goods, but our substance— the profits of our toil both of body and mind. These men are not to be touched in their secure positions. Oh no ! The Times will not admit them to be "classes," but only "consumers," for whose benefit mere classes are to succumb ! But does our contemporary imagine that, in such a state of society, with a fourth of the reward of every man's industry and enterprise sacrificed to the foreigner, by our insane pursuit of our idol— cheapness—the taxes, the interest of the national debt, the poor and other rates, or the engagements between private individuals, will continue to be paid, at their present amount ? It is preposterous to expect such a thing. We are, at the present moment, evidently verging towards a popular agi tation of the same question—the propriety of cutting down the public expenditure to the lowest scale, and of applying the sponge to the national debt, which—in the years from the close of the war to 1819, nearly precipitated an insurrection in Great Britain. Our present financial reform asso ciations are only the forerunners of confederations of more violent and determined men. It would-be well then for the advocates of progress, and espe cially for the fundholders and the monied interests, to study deeply this feature of the system which we are, as a nation, at present pursuing. The Times, like all sir oracles of his class, seems disposed —most excellent liberal !—to sneer at anything like an expression of opinion by the people upon this or any other question. He con tends, for instance, that the, remonstrance which went up from our own town against the bill —or, to use his own language, "the 47,400 signatures, scraped together as old women scrape chips in a chip-yard, in a town so peculiarly situated and so exceptionably interested W as Liverpool"—ought riot to weigh with the legislature and the nation upon the question of the navigation laws. Upon the same principle, a criminal at the Old Bailey would object to the evidence of the man whom he has robbed on the highway as that of a " man ex ceptionably interested." Surely, however, the opinions of one of the most influential communities in the empire, upon a question affecting not only their property, but their very existence, are far more worthy of being received than those of the mere red tapists and hangers-on of office, or the Times himself—the former of whom, by their votes, and the latter, by his furious and ignorant diatribes, have contributed so materially towards the success of the measure up to its present stage: THE great extent which the important proceed ings in the Council yesterday occupy in our co lumns prevents our making any lengthy or de tailed remarks upon them. At the outset of the debate upon Messrs. Simp son - and Newland's Report, it was announced by the Mayor that he had received a letter from Mr. Hawksley; and it was accordingly read by the Town-clerk. In this document the important fact was. disclosed, that the estimates for the Rivington Pike scheme were only framed for giving a supply for the existing population of the town, although the Parliamentary plan embraced works for giving a supply to a popultinon of 800,000. To accom plish. this a considerable future outlay for filter beds, pipes, mains, &c., would have to be added to the £480,000, the amount of his parliamentary es timate. The Council having, on the motion of Mr. Procter, resolved itself into a committee, that gen tleman proceeded to move a series of resolutions. The first four merely affirmed the principle that the head reservoir system should be adopted ; that a duplicate engine was wanted at each station ; that a greater supply of water was required ; and that it could be got by improving and extending the present stations, hut that such exertion and improvement should only be made at Green Lane. The fifth, upon which the main question was de bated, affirmed the advantage of taking powers to carry out the more extended scheme of Messrs. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (BY EXPRESS.)

Beans unaltered in Price. Peas rather gave way in value than otherwise. The town millers did not alter the top price of Flour; bat country marks and households were procurable at Is. per sack, and 6d. per barrel reduction. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY. The supply of Beasts is considerably smaller; the dead mar kets are also pretty clear; consequently trade is brisk, at an advance of nearly 4d. per Blbs. The number of Sheep is mo derately good ; the demand, however, has increased ; the trade is active, at advanced rates. Lamb meets with a ready sale at late prices, and in a few instances of choice descriptions, rather more money is obtained. Choice Calves are dearer, but middling ones are a heavy trade. EXCHANGE NEWS -ROOM, MONDAY. The increasing complexity in the aspect of affairs on the Continent keeps us commercially in a very unsettled con dition, and brings our transactions within limits too con tracted to be contemplated with anything like feelings of satisfaction. All parties are disinclined to enter into con tracts or involve themselves in business of any consequence with such a mass of uncertainty before them, as at present characterizes the nature of our intelligence from nearly all parts of Europe. The Share Market has shewn symptoms of improvement several times during the week, but the rumoured excite ment on the Continent—very much exaggerated by papers, in the bear interest—has prevented any very material rise. This evening, however, prices of several stocks have ad vanced—the bears finding it difficult to get stock to close their accounts. London Stock closes 126 8; Midland, 65 651. During the first four days of our last Cotton week, the sales amounted to upwards of 32,000 bales, and an ad vance was obtained upon the middle and common quali ties of American, with full prices for the better sorts, which were in request for export ; but the unsettled state of the Continent again affected the market, by checking the demand, and the closing prices were much upon a par with the currency of the previous week. On Satur day, however, a better tone was imparted to transactions, 6,000 bales were disposed of, and the prices of American were somewhat more regular. To-day, the sales were es timated at 6,000 bales. 1.500 on speculation and for ex port, at Friday's quotations. In the Wool trade. business by private is exceedingly flat here, but the public sales of Australian now proceed ing in London are going off favourably, at February prices. Our market for Scotch Pig Iron is a little more ani mated, and No. 1 Gartsherrie may be quoted at 455. ; mixed numbers, at 435. Bars at £5 in Wales, but are offering at £5 2s. 6d. to £5 ss. A geed demand has been manifested for Sugar since the circular, and about 1,500 bags Bengal have found pur chasers at rather better prices, ranging from 41s. to 435. ; and with regard to this article, we may add here, that the Dutch sales just concluded have gone off better than was expected, and nearly the whole sold at within a trifle of the highest point of the market. There is also a rather better feeling for Coffee, of which large sales are adver tised for next week. In Saltpetre, we have no change to report.; but there has been somewhat more disposition to sell Nitrate of Soda, at lls. 3d. 120 tons of Gambia have bhen disposed of, at 9s. 6d. to 10s. per cwt., chiefly the former figure. Brunswick-street, Monday. Many of the letters which have come to hand this morning from various parts of this country and Ireland, forwarded on Saturday last, complain of the want of rain, which, so far as this district is concerned, has been sup plied in refreshing quantities during the last twenty-four hours; the prevalence of cold easterly winds is also spo ken of, and vegetation generally has been somewhat re tarded ; but evert the most unfavourable accounts state that there is no feature in the character of the season cal culated in the least to excite anxiety or alarm for the growing crops, all of which appear healthy. The only exception we find mentioned in our Cork letter, which states that in rare cases Wheat is thin on the ground, not having planted satisfactorily. The markets throughout England and Ireland during the past week have been pretty evenly balanced. Indian Corn, however, is still going up in Ireland, In fact, the tendency of the trade in that country leans more and more to foreign produce, and in some cases the prices of Irish Wheat and Flour are quoted as merely nominal, American descriptions of the latter article coming so low into the market as greatly to interfere with the sale of home manufacture. The follow ing remarks, made by a correspondent writing from New castle-upon-Tyne, give a prospective view of the future bearing of the trade, the correctness of which will of course in a great measure depend upon our American supplies : " Looking at the unsettled state of Europe, the pressing wants of Ireland, the diminished stocks in the hands of the growers as compared with the average of seasons, and the high price of potatoes (the best descriptions of which are re tailing at the extravagant rate of Is. 3d. per stone), we can come to no other conclusion than that the value of all bread stuffs must improve, the extent of which will be mainly depen dent upon the character of the weather from henceforth; hi therto it has been anything but genial, and the country, though looking healthy, is more backward than usual in this district." The favourable alteration in the weather, which always has an important effect upon our Corn markets at this season, has had rather a depressing influence on the trade here, but little business having resulted this morning ; and with the change of wind a number of grain-laden vessels got in yesterday, which, added to the prospect of further large arrivals shortly, has induced purchasers to pause ; so that, with the exception of some demand for Indian Corn, we have nothing to report since Friday. Our imports for the first five days of the week com mencing Tuesday last have been very light, as will be seen by the following return : Imports :--Wheat, 527 qrs. ; Barley, qrs. ; Malt, 814 qrs.; Oats, 829 qrs. ; Beans, qrs. ; I'ease, 16 qrs.; Indian Corn, 4864 qrs. ; Indian Corn Meal, brls. ; Oatmeal, 20 lds. ; 'Flour, 36 sks,jo94 brls. Exports :—Wheat, 1218 qrs. ; Barley, 179 qrs.; Malt, 40 qrs.; Beans, 80 qrs. ; Pease, 22 qrs. ; Indian Corn, 21,548 qrs. ; Indian Corn Meal, 872 brls. ; Oatmeal, COO Ids. ; Flour, 86 sks. 5904 brls. THE NAVIGATION LAWS-LETTER FROM SIR J. GLADSTONE "London, 6th May, 1849. "My dear Sir,—You see this fatal, mad, and destruc tive measure has, by most active use of power and of undue influence, how ever improperly appli e d, b een car ried by a small majority,—that majority including every placeman and member of the present destructive govern. ment. This will, I doubt not, be most warmly and in dignantly felt in Liverpool, where I should hope a town's meeting will be immediately held for the purpose of petitioning the Queen, not only to refuse the royal as sent to the bill, but also to dismiss her present minis. ters. If Liverpool strongly, and I should hope, unani mously adopted this course, I am persuaded it will spread like wildfire over the country. Every one connected with our colonies and possessions—every —every one who fe e l s an interest in the substance and soil of the United King dom—must take and feel aninterest in this most vital question, and will, I doubt not, everywhere follow the Liverpool precedent. It embraces the best interest and future prosperity of the country. Believe me always, my dear sir, yours faithfully, " JOHN GLADSTONE. " Samuel Holme, Esq., Liverpool." [The worthy baronet is no doubt aware that a towns meeting—and that a most numerous and decided one— has already taken place on the subject of the ministerial bill, but we should be glad if Sir John's recommendation for an additional meeting were carried out.

It frequently enemy. The mint is coining silver and gold plate night and happened that prisoners sent for trial for simple larceny day. Ugo Bassi, the regimental chaplain of Garibaldi's legion, had been three times or more convicted, and had expiated having been made prisoner, was exchanged, against the tam • their offences in gaol ; in such cases he regarded the par hour-major of the 20th regiment o f th e F renc h li ne.

Two thieves went into a bank, one of them presented a bill regularly endorsed to the cashier, and while the latter was Se PEACE having read the proclamation ,:iworsca signatures, the second man most adroitly contrived to abstract two one hundred pound 4 1 notes from the open drawer at which the cashier Der stood. So little did the cashier think that he could he robbed—because the counter was of such a width as to render the supposition of any party at the out side reaching the drawer apparently impossible—that LONDON CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY. he did not give information of the robbery to the police.

The bulk parted unmolested. In the afternoon of that day one of of the foreign arrivals reported at foot came to hand in the the men went to a jeweller's shop, where they purchased' early part of last week, since which the receipts have been but a gold watch, and presented the £lOO note in payment small; the demand, however, was far from hrisk, and former Some dispute arose between the parties - and the shop prices were barely sapported. English Barley, being scarce, keeper, who happened to be a Jew, conceiving himself commanded its late value; foreign, unless of choice quality, was easier to purchase. Oats of home _ growth came very insulted by one o f th e men , sen t f or t h e po li ce and gave him in charge, having first taken the number of the note.. When the man arrived at the police-office the note could not be found, but its identity was ascertained from the Jew, to the satisfaction of the cashier, who came forward, and eventually the two other notes were traced to the prisoner. But, when he was tried, neither he (the learned Recorder) nor the jury - knew anything about the manner in which the abstraction of the notes had been accomplished. He had afterwards reason to think that a little twig which the man carried in his hand was the instrument used ; that this twig, having been furnished at the end with birdlime, was dexterously introduced into the drawer, and thus the notes were transferred. This man was convicted of simple larceny, so that, by the law as it now stands, the thieves, supposing they' had stolen £3,000 instead of £3OO, could not have been transported. The Learned Recorder concluded by. expressing his belief that some further legislation would be necessary before this recent act can be satisfactory. He dismissed the grand jury to their duties, after stating his conviction that the intelligence of grand juries at Liverpool rendered any special ebserva.ions to them superflnous. The following were the sentences passed yesterday : James Wright, ten years ; Thomas Smith, six weeks, one week solitary; Sarah Simons, seven weeks ; Catherine Walsh, five calendar months, one week solitary ; William Deane, two calendar months, one week solitary ; George Beddows, four calendar months, 14 days solitary ; Thos. Price, seven calendar months; Hugh.

We learn, with some regret, that the negociations which have for some time been pending, between the corporation and Messrs. Willoughby, on the subjectof the renewal of the occupation, by the latter, of Birkenhead Ferry, have been definitely broken off, Messrs. Willoughby declined to accept the terms offered them. It has therefore been determined by the committee of the council to enter at once themselves into the business of carriers, and to con tinue the ferry with spirit and energy. Two additinnal now boats will be put on ; and other arrangements made with a view, by promoting the comfort and convenience of the public, to restore, if possible, the Birkenhead Ferry to its ancient prosperity. We repeat that we regret this issue of the negotiations in question ; for we greatly object to the corporation, or any public body, engaging in competition with private traders. In this case, however, the course, which they are about to adopt, seems to be the only one left open to them. We possess at Birkenhead a property which has cost the corporate estate of Liverpool little, if at all,, short of XlOO,OOO, far too much to allow us even to think of abandoning it to delapidation, by ceasing to maintain the efficiency of the ferry attached to it. By judicious management this estate may in time be brought into profitable action ; and may even be made to add greatly to the attractions of the Cheshire side of our noble river. Such a happy contingency, however, de pends for its early realization upon the ferry being con ducted with spirit ; and in bare justice to the gentleman, Mr. Jones. who has become the Corporation's tenant for a part of the property—the Birkenhead hotel,—and to the excellent manner in which he is carrying it on, a more liberal management than the present is required.

MEETING OF WAREHOUSE OWNERS.—A very nume rous and highly influential meeting of the owners of warehouse property in this town was held yesterday, at the Clarendon-rooms, for the purpose of taking into con sideration " the alarming state of depression to which the warehouse property in the town has become reduced, ren dering it absolutely necessary that some steps should be taken to counteract the existing evils, and to determine upon the measures necessary to put a stop to the ruinous rates at which goods are now warehoused, and to place this description of property upon a more remunerative footing."

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP EUROPA, The Royal Mail Steam-ship Europa,' Captain Lott, arrived here last night about seven o'clock. She left New York on the 2d inst., and Halifax on the sth, and h as th ere f ore ma d e a most excellet passage, her arrival not, in fact, being anticipated by any one before to-day. She has brought no fewer than 154 passengers, a list of whom is given below. The Cambria arrived at Boston on the 27th of April. and the America, which left here on the 21st ult., arrived at Halifax on the 3d inst. On the 24th ult., the latter steamer passed the American Steam-ship Washington, which left Southampton on the 20th, and ran her out of sight in three hours. The steam ship Sarah Sands arrived at New York on the Ist inst. The packet-ship Constitution arrived at New York on the latter day in twenty days. The demand for sterling exchange was not very active, and drawers were firm at a slight improvement in quotations. The best bills on London were held at Bto 84 premium, but there were good bills on the market selling as low as 6 to Q. The most interesting advices brought by this arrival are those from Canada, which are of an unusually exciting character. The intelligence from California is also important. Advices from St. Domingo to the 13th of April state that President Soulouque was within sixteen miles of the city, with an army of 20,000 well disciplined troops. He had taken all the towns on his march, and was expected to attack the city, which all the inhabitants that possibly could had left. The city was almost entirely deserted of women and children, and is no doubt by this time in the hands of Soulouque, and from the character of the man it is feared much blood will be shed. The recent cold weather had destroyed great quantities of corn and cotton in America. It Is stated that the injury in South Carolina is so great that more than one half of the cotton must be replanted. The same applies to Georgia and Virginia. In the North the damage is confined to the peach. General Hilario Lopez has been appointed president of New Grenada. LIST OF PASSENGERS.—From New Foy* :—Mr.. Field, Lady, infant, and nurse; Mr. J. A.

At-New Orleans the receipts keep up astonishingly, the difference on 21st ult. not exceeding 34,000 bales. The season has now reached a point that we may look shortly with some reasonable probability to a diminution of this excess, and, possibly, in-the course of this month, to a rapid decline of it—this will doubtless be aided by new causes which have lately excited the minds of operators in this mar ket, as appears by the review below. On the night of the 15th ultimo, a frost sufficiently severe to kill the young cotton plant,, occurred in Georgia, South. Carolina, Alabama. Misais- 11115514- and Louisiana,--least severe, howev-er, in the latter s—and which was felt partially also on the nights of the I', 411 411(1 iii answer io a telegraphic despatch from me, my correspondent at Mobile writes, under date of the 23rd ult . " 1 apprised you of the frost, in due course. In a few words, Limy , say that wherever the plant- was above ground, it has been.entirely destroyed. In most places the season having been backward, the cotton had not yet come up, and it is gene rally. believed, if we could have rain, of which we have had none for nearly a month, at this most critical period of the year, that sach:seed will yet come up. The corn being-killea at the same time, many planters are now planting-the latter in pre felence,ln.consequence of its security, for the support of their stock.. Nearly all the parties who have cotton in our bands, have ordered it to be withdrawn , at present. Unless we hare warm rains, we may look for another short crop in this section;"' My correspondent at New Orleans writes The growing.orop•was injured by frost on.the night of the 15th instant, the extent of which is imperfectly known; but the plant is believed to have been killed in all the country,where it was up, north of latitude 32 degrees; What effect a destruc tive frostat•so late a period will have on the product eventually, will depend on the weather hereafter, and on seed the planters possess, or may be able-to procure. attaching undue importance to this occurrence, it must be ad. milted that the chances in favour of another late crop are di minished." le quantity of Without On Friday, the 27th, we received the telegraphic despatches per Cambria to •the 14th ultimo, from Liverpool, which,exlii biting a decline, and being less pacific than the previous steamer ; our market again uroopeil ; but as holders evinced no anxiety to realise the sales were nominal.

The agitation which has. been excited by the proceedings of the present Canadian Cabinet with respect to the Rebellion Losses Bill, was on, the• 25th and 27th ult. brought to a crisis by the Governor-General giving his assent to the obnoxious bill in question. Additional strength had been added previ ously to the popular ferment, by a proposil made by. the Cabi net to the Hone Government to allow a duty of a dollar and a half per load to be imposed upon Canadian timber exported, the produce of which:tax was to be applied te.the completion of the Quebec andtlalifax Railroad. This measure, added to the experience of the working of the free trade measures of her Majesty's Government, was regarded by all connected with the lumbering trade of Canada as certain to complete their ruin. The following, which we condense from the Montreal Gazette of the 27th April, will convey an idea of the-character of the movement :—ln the course of Wednesday, the- 25th, it was whispered that Lord Elgin was intending to visit the Parlia ment House to. give his sanction to several, important bills which had been passed; and accordingly at five o'clock he ar rived, only the usual number of loungers: being assembled in the galleries to witness the proceedings, and no mob outside. We give the scene which ensued, as described by the Gazette: " His Lordship having seated himself on the throne, and the legislative assembly having been summoned into the council chamber,, he proceeded to give his assent to various bills. The clerk read the title:of several bills ; when, he had read that of the Indemnity Bill, a dead silence ensued for a moment or two. People held their breaths in perfect surprise. At length, as if by magic, a move took place among the audience, a stamping of feet was heard, and groans and hisses muttered as the par ties made for the door, which rose. into yells and hootiugs as they descended the stairs. '‘The remaining bills having . been speedily assented to, his lordship made his appearance m the street, attended by his suite, on his return to Monklands. But still there was no crowd. Immediately he was. seen, several rotten eggs were thrown at him, some of which we are informed struck him, and some most unfortunately hit also the gentlemen of his. suite. This was attended, by loud hootings, yells, and groans, in the midst of which, the po.tilion, on his lordship getting into the carriage, drove off at a rapid rate. Rotton eggs con tinued to be thrown at the carriage, so long as they could take effect, and a dirty sight the machine exhibited. " A tremendolis excitement immediately spread through the city, and at eight o'clock a meeting of upwards of 8000 persons were assembled in the Champs de Mars, at which resolutions condemnatory of the bill, as insulting to the feelings of loyal Canadians, and praying her Majesty to remove the Governor- General for betrayal of his trust, were passed. At the close of the proceedings, a movement was made to the Parliament House, whither a large body of persons immediately rushed. By 10 p.m. 8000 persons were in front of the buildings, where the Assembly was in full session at the time. A shower of stones were poured upon the windows, which,. from the bril liant manner in which they were lighted, afforded a most tempting mark. When the stones came pouring into the windows, the members of the Assembly beat a retreat, and re tired into the lobby, there to await the issue of events. No sooner had the members left, than about IQ. of the mob, armed to the teeth, rushed into the Assembly-room, and their leader, swearing he would come Oliver Cromwell over them, placed himself in the Speaker's chair, assumed the hat, and an nounced, with stentorian lun"s,, ' Gentlemen, the French Par liament is dissolved!' Onel brawny fellow then seized hold of the mace, which, from the house being in committee at the time, lay on the table, and having shouldered it, marched off. The rest set to work, and the destruction commenced. Whilst this body of men were smashing everything inside the Legislative Assembly room, a cry of fire was suddenly raised. In the meantime, Col. Gugy, heading the members, clerks, and ladies, rushed through the hall of the House, and out at the principal door. In less than 15 minutes the whole of the wing occupied by the House of Assembly was in flames, and from the intimate communications between the two houses, the Upper House was rapidly involved in the same destruction, The mpbuutaide, during these proceedings had increased to incredible numbers, and 4togd leaking OP in 411,1ifferMcg• may 15,1140.

The very scanty arrivals into this port for some weeks past having been somewhat increased within the last few days, we have to note a moderate onantity of Wheat and Flour, with a good supply of Indian Corn, from the United States, e xc l us i ve of several cargoes of several cargoes of Wheat and Beans from Europe and Egypt, but, except Malt, little produce either coastwise or from Ireland; as, however, the wind is- n)w favourable, more grain vessels are shortly expected from abroad, several from the south of Europe being now at Falmouth wait ing orders to proceed. Notwithstanding the favourable change in the weather, and the improved appearance of the growing crops, the Wheat trade at our market this. morning was firm at the prices of Tuesday, and a fair amount of business was transacted for consumption, the millers being mostly bare of stock. Flour was also in tolerably good demand, at the fultrates of this day week for American brands generally, but in Irish little or no business was done.
