WHEAT FOR THE NAVY. — At the Royal William Victualling Yard, Plymouth, tenders were called for 1,000 quarters wheat for the supply of this department, and on the tenders being opened on Wednesday, the par ties were informed 3,000 quarters were taken ; it being understood that the government telegraphed to the Cap tail]; Superintendent that morning to secure other 2,000, if to be done. The prices ruled from 87s. to 90s. per quarter. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—A telegraphic communication reached Messrs. Gibbs, Bright, and Co., (per the Ballarat) on Friday, from Messrs. Bright Brothers, of Melbourne, stating that that vessel was to salon her homeward passage from Sydney on the 19th November, and from Melbourne on the 20th December. She was to take the route via Cape Horn and the Falkland Islands. Her arrival at this port, therefore, may be shortly looked for. DEMERARA.—SeveraI commanders of ships have been fined at Demerara for neglecting to send their men to the hospital within twelve hours after their complaining of being unwell. The colonial law is very imperative on this subject, and it is enforced with great severity, par ticularly since the prevalence of the yellow fever in the shipping there. The several parties accused were fined from ten to twenty dollars. DISASTER TO AN EMIGRANT SHIP.- - The American packet-ship E. Z., Captain Hartshorne, which sailed from this port on the 18th ult., put into Belfast Lough, with loOs of sails and making water. The E. Z. sailed from this port on the 12th November last, and, after some time, put back seriously damaged, and had only been repaired prior to her sailing on the 18th ultimo. NEWSPAFERS TO GREECE AND TURKEY. — A notice has been issued from the General Post-office announcing that information has been received from the Prussian Post office, that newspapers forwarded from the United King dom to Greece, or to the lonian Islands, or to the under mentioned places in Turkey, &c., in which Austrian post-offices, have been established, viz I—Beyrout, Botus chany, Bucharest, Canes, Constantinople, Dardanelles, Galatz, Gallipoli, Jassy, Lanaca, Mytelene, Mostar, Rhodes, Rutschuk, Salonica, Samsoun, Seres, Smyrna, Tenedos, Tchesme, Trebizond, Tuitcha, and Varna, cannot be transmitted through Prussia, as newspapers, unless a postage of lid. per half ounce be paid in advance, and further that the rate of ld. each must be prepaid upon newspapers addressed to other places in Turkey. - - THE GUANO DEPOSITS OP THE CHINCHA ISLANDS. — A note has been received at the Peruvian Legation from the Minister of Finance of the Republic, bearing date the 24th of December, in which the following is communicated to the Charge d' Affairs :—" The Government nominated a deputation, in order that they might undertake the measurement of the guano of the Chiucha Islands. This therefore has been effected by men best qualiffed for the purpose, with as much accuracy as could be obtained, adopting the latest improvements m the scientific proceed ings, and the following result has been given :—That the island situated at the north contains 4,189,477 ; the -centre island, 2,505,948; the south island 5,680,675 ; or, a total of 12,376,100 tons. (This aggregate indicates tons of measurement which will yield an increase of one third when reduced to tons of weight, which are those sold in the market. Calculating on the well-known fact, the above 12,376,100 tons will yield 16,501,466 tons of weight saleable. Besides the Chincha Islands, it is well-known that Peru possesses many other guano deposits, containing a very considerable quantity, the measurement of which has also been ordered by the Government, and will be published in due course.) The reports of the deputation are now being printed by order of the Government. MARINE Sairtrr Sr:sr.—The Sunderland Times says, —"We think it very desirable to press on our maritime readers the desirability of constructing the deck seats which stand by the companion, on the principle of the marine safety seat. This would place gat the disposal of a shipwrecked crew a means of communicating with the shore, and even of reaching it, which they do not at pre sent possess. Theinvention of the safety seat is due to Lieutenant Rhind, whoie attention was first di rected to the value of deck seats as an auxiliary method of safety, by the - wreck of the Albion in 1836. The con struction of the •seats is of so simple, a character that any ship carpenter Might make one. `The back and seat are constructed with a framework, with four strong cross pieces to receive the legs; the interstices are filled with cork, and the Whole veneered with seasoned fir; the legs are made to shift, and are fastened with copper nuts ; the elbows lock in each other, and are fastened with a pin; underneath the seat there are two strong cleats, and the edges of the loaik and seat have a strong moulding, which protects the mortices where • the legs are placed wen put as outriggers.' But it is not necessary that this plan should be adopted. If the ordinary deck seats are made for the back to cleat with the seat, and the legs moveable, even then a great object would be attained, the area being four times enlarged. Lieut. Rhind's deck seat is converted into an ordinary raft by the back and seat .being cleated together, and the legs put in at right angles. This tem porary raft, With a Bermudean sail, would carry a rope to a lee shore where no boat could live. The cost of the seat when fully fitted up would be about a pound more than the usual seats. Such - is the simple contrivance of the safety seat. The invention has been approved of by parties on whose judgment some reliance can be placed. Lieut. Rhind sent two models to the Great Exhibition, one as a seat, 'the other as a-raft, and had the prize medal awarded to him for his invention. The Elder Brethren of the Trinity House, at a very full meeting, also approved of it, and Prince Frederick of the Netherlands sent the inventor his silver medal. Notwithstanding these highly satisfactory notices of the 'invention it has not received, from the maritime community; that practical recognition which its value demands?' WRECX OF A LIVERPOOL. SHIP.—The Charles Jones, Captain Todd, 'belonging to this port, has been totally lost on one of the Shetland ISlands. She sailed from Leith for Valparaiso last month, and during a violent gale from the west-on the 31st January, struck on a sunken rock off Eshanes, point or North Navin, in Shetland, and instantly went into a thousand pieces. Out of the entire crew not one remained 'to tell the frightful tale. The Charles Jones Lad the materials of an iron pier on board for Valparaiso. A cask 6f sherry wine, a small portion of the hull,and part of the ship's papers have washed on shore. NARROW" EseaTE.--;-The Wild Rover, which arrived here from New Orleans, with a cargo of cotton, &c., was struck by lightning on the 26th ult. in lat. 46 N., lon. 40 W. The electric fluid descended the foremast, and after the thunderstorm had subsided it was ascertained that the cargo in the for sold had ignited. With great presence of mind Captain Hamilton ordered the hatches to be kept closed and the force-pump rigged. The crew, as is usual when a commander is cool and collected, obeyed the order with alacrity, and soon a continuous and abundant stream of water was poured upon the burning mass. When it was considered that the fire was extinguished the hatches were taken off, but it was found that several bales were still smouldering; they were, however, quickly hoisted up and thrown overboard (35 in number.) Had it not been for the presence of mind of Captain Hamilton and the ex cellent discipline of the crew, thevessel must have been destroyed. ANOTHER, SHIPWRECK •ON •BARR/L.—Tile coast of the • islandof Barra, off the western partof Scotland, has been the oene of the total loss ofthe Liverpool shin W. H. Davis, Car ling, master, while on her voyage to Slew Orleans, with every soul on board (excepting one Man)—in all thirty persons. The ship had become unmanageable in the course of the recent westerly gales, and in attempting, on the night of the 17th of last month, to weather Barra head, she went on shore on the rocks of Yatersay, within a short distance of the spot where the Anne Jane emi grant.ship was lost a few months since. The moment the ship touched the rock the master and _crew took to the rigging, as their only chanee of escape, expecting, no doubt, as the wreck heeled over, they would be able to gain the rocks. In a few minutes the ship was dashed to pieces, and the whole of the poor fellows fell amid the wreck and perished. Only one escaped—the -steward, a young man, named Robert William Rushmore, of 48, Devonport-street, Toxth-park, Liverpool. He took refuge on the bowsprit, and as the vessel went to pieces he sprang forward and succeeded in reaching the rocks in safety, although very much bruised. He was almost in sensible when assistance arrived the next morning. Several bodies of the crew were discovered among the rocks by the fishermen, whoeonveyed them to Vatersay for interment. A GALLANT SEA. CAPTAIN.—The brig Sea Adventure, Glazebrook, of Shoreham, which put into Plymouth, on Tuesday, in distress, left Buenos Ayres on the Bth of November, for Cork .or Falmouth, for orders. 19th of January, when about 250 miles N.W. of the Azores Islands, experienced a hurricane from W.N.W., which carried away foremast, bowsprit, cutwater, figurehead, cook's galley, boats and stanchions, and bulwarks on the larboard side. So heavy was the sea that the galley, iron caboose, cooking apparatus, and all were carried clean over her side. 22d she encountered another storm, which carried away the remainder of her bulwarks and stan chions, started her stern frame, and carried away the companion, compelling the captain to batten down the entrance to the cabin, abandon the use of it, and take his quarters among the crew in the forecastle. There was not a single spar to rig the jurymast, and the loss of the foremast and bowsprit sent the brig down by the stern, in order to remedy which it became necessary to throw some of her after cargo overboard ; but this could only be got at by entering the hold from the forecastle and drag ging the hides forward. During the gale one of the crew was washed overboard twice, but was providentially reco vered. Captain Glazebrook, having set three jibs as stay sails, persevered in bringing his disabled craft a distance of 1,300 miles ; he declined assistance on entering the Channel, and completed his purpose by steering her safely into Plymouth Sound. The crew of the brig con sists of ten hands, including Captain Glazebrook. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SEAMEN.—Mr. Cardwell told the House of Commons, on Friday night, that of 190,000 sailors, who left the ports of this kingdom last year, there were only 2,500 foreigners among them. We presume the right hon. gentleman has some authority for his figures, but to us the statement appears incredible. Before the manning clause of the Navigation Act was repealed, the number of foreign seamen eligible to serve in British ships, in the over-sea trade, was 47,000, in the proportion of three-fourths British to one foreign seaman. But as our coasters had to be manned entirely with British subjects, we may allow 60,000 of the seamen to have been so employed, which would leave 130,000 for the foreign trade of the kingdom. Admitting, however, that the coasting trade engaged 100,000 seamen, and that 90,000 were in the foreign trade, it gives 22,500 whoforeigners ho m ight have served in British ships without infring in g law. ' Mr. Cardwell says that last year 2,500 only offered themselves ; if so, we cannot see that there was any neces sity for repealing the manning clause, which has created a very discontented feeling among British seamen. It also destroys the argument that the scarcity of British seamen called for the measure. We suspect, however, that Mr.Cardwdl can have had no sufficient means of know ing the number of foreigners engaged in British ships. We believe that the number of Lascars and other Asiatics that arrived from India, Australia, and the ports in the Pacific, in the last year, would far exceed the figures of Mr. Cardwell; and all these foreigners were brought to England under an engagement to send them home again ; indeed, it is obligatory on shipowners, under the 64th section of the Merchant Seamen's Act. The statement, therefore, of the President of the Board of Trade must be received With Some reservation,—/S'hipping and Mercantile Gazette. HORTICULTURE.

SUNDAY IN PARlS.—Active measures are now being adopted for the prevention of Sunday trading and Sunday labour in Paris. A society which had been formed for the above objects nearly a year and a-half ago, has been quietly and steadily at work, and has now produced a considerable impression on the feelings of the public, particularly with those connected with trade. It enrols 3,000 members, including some of the most wealthy, exalted, and influen tial persons of the empire, and has established several district committees in different parts of Paris, and some important branch associations in the provinces. The mode of operation is very simple. All purchasers and employers as well as the tradespeople are requested to agree, indeed, to sign a document that they will neither buy nor sell, work nor give work, on the Sunday. This has proved a great encouragement and protection to the shopkeepers and to several public contractors, who have ceased to employ their masons and bricklayers on the Sun day. All the principal shops in the Quartier St. Germain are now closed on the Sunday. An interesting and peculiar feature in the present successful progress of this movement is, that an English gentleman, and a Protes tant, whose name I regret not to be at liberty to make public, is now actively engaged in assisting in this very important Christian work, and at the express and par ticular request of some of the leadinc , dignitaries of the Roman Church.— Correspondent of St. James'sChronicle. PRINCE NAPOLEON. — The Paris correspondent of The Times says :—As I have spoken of Prince Napoleon, I may mention some particulars relative to his late journey to Brussels, which are derived from a good source. In the course of his interview with the King of the Belgians the Prince expressed to his Majesty the satisfaction of his cousin the Emperor of the French that a more friendly feeling had lately grown up between the Belgian and French governments. The Prince is said to have added that, as hostilities were probable between France and Russia, the Emperor Napoleon wished to be assured of the attitude which Belgium would assume in such an emergency ; that his Belgian majesty had at his disposal 100,000 troops, and in the event (improbable though it be) of Prussia taking part with Russia, 50,000 Belgians might be sent to the Prussian frontier ; that the Emperor did not wish any force to be sent to the French frontier, but that the force in question should guard the Prussian. To that proposition it is added that the King assented. With respect to the fortresses along the French line, the wish was expressed that they should be in part reduced, and to that also his Majesty is said to have assented. The Prince suggested that, as King Leopold was a constitu tional king, it would be necessary to have the sanction of the minister for Foreign Affairs to the arrangement. The minister was sent for, and his approval was given to the proposed arrangement. Such, it is stated, on very fair authority, was the object of Prince Napoleon's mission, as also its result.

Karelia, Tver, Jougria, Perm, Viatka, Bul garia, and many other countries ; Seignior and Grand Prince of the territory of Inner Novgorod, Tshernigoff, Riaizan, Polotsk, Rostof, Jaroslaf, Bielozero, Oudoria, Obdoria, Koudinia, Witebak, 3ftislaf, and Lord of all the hyperborean region ; Seignior of the land of Heria, Kar talinia,-Grousinia, Kabardinia, and Armenia ; Hereditary Seignior: and Simerain of the Circassian princes, of those of the mountains, and others ; Heir of Norway, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Saint Ormarn, Ditmarsen, and Olden burgh," &c., &c. To these titles moAt now be added that of "Lord-fearing God," which the Czar has recently assumed. The heraldic blazonings correspond to the des cription given above. TITE MIRROR OF BEAUTY. — An optician of Nancy, M. Gaiffe, possesses the mirror of the famous Heloise. "It is a piece of iron six inches long 'by about six wide, polished on one side and rough , on the other. There exists no trace of its having been in a frame, though it is considered probable that it had one. It is placed between two cushions of silk, which appear to be very old, and Which have preserved the polish. 'The authenticity of the mirror is thus established :—Heloise, as is known, after her rupture with her learned lover; became Abbess of Le Paraclet, and held that post for thirty years, when in 1164 she died. The nuns carefully preserved the Mirror and other things which belonged to her ; and these articles remained in the convent generation after genera tion, until religious houses were suppressed after the revo notion of 1789. At that time a Benedictine monk, Dom Charles Cajot, was the spiritual director of Le Paraclet; :and he took the mirror away. On his death, which took place at Verdun in 1807, the mirror, together with the ,remainder of his little property, went to his niece , Catherine Gody. In 1823 she died, and the mirror was -sold for a large sum to a 31. Gnilgnau, from whom it was .;recently purchased by M. Gaiffe." - . RUMOURED VISIT OF ENGLISH TROOPS TO FRANCE.- - The following is from the Paris correspondence of the Morning Herald :—" The rumour of an English division being about to pass through France to join a French =corps d' arm6e at Tonlon has taken such hold of popular belief, that nothing short of an Official contradiction would -do to eradicate the impression, so deeply rooted has it be come. The popular fancy, which is as dramatic as is is -quick, bas already spread out the banquet in the Champs -de Mars, and erected the altar on which the two greatest nations of the world are to lay down their animosities and prejudices, and vow to do battle side by side for the cause of civilisation. We have the grand scena of fraternisation before our eyes. We have the British hurrahs in our ears ,answering the Heaven-pointed sabres of French chivalry. - We have a great many grand things besides ; but is it all :a dream ? Did not the Corporation of London dine at the Hotel de Ville ? Why should not the British army ban ,quet at the Champs de Mars? And do not the people, it -is inquiringly suggested, love soldiers more than corpora tors Not that they esteem the Lord Mayor less, but :that they admire the Commander-in-Chief more. There is precedent and example for such-a,display. Besides, the people have a clear, well-defined notion of a soldier, while their ideas touching a Lord Mayor were somewhat con fused. They believed the latter to be a Governor of Lon don, by whose permission the Queen was graciously allowed to enter the city. About the general commanding the expeditionary corps there can - be no fictions, and a British general the popular fancy isdetermined on having. Those who pretend to say it cannot be know nothing on the subject. In expectation of so brilliant a novelty we are fill in a delightful state of mind. If there be any anxiety at all it is only touching places at the opera and tickets for the public balls, for the representations and faes inlonour of the English army, from which, unfor tunately, some must be excluded. Could this little cloud of uneasiness be dispersed, the joy would be universal. There is an old score of compliment to be cleared off by the army itself, whose chiefs had been so well treated at Chobham ; and then the National Guards who visited the General Exhibition found no reason to-complain of British hospitality. All circumstances accordingly combine to prepare the way for the red coats. It must be so. We have decorated the rooms for the feast, and ordered the wines. We have imported the Barclay, the Hanbury, and the Guinness ; and we have engaged the cooks who under stand plum padding and roast beef. Hip, hip, ,hurrah ! to the Emperor and the Queen of England. Whatever you, John Bull, may think of the matter, here the,cry is still "they come." SPORTING _INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.-TIEURSDA.Y. Soon after the commencement of business 18,000 to 3000, or " any part thereof," was repeatedly offered on die field for the Liverpool Steeple-chase ; but 7 and 8 to 1 was subse quently offered. Bourton appears to have some warm friends, especially in the city. 100 to 6 was taken about Peter, and 40 to 1 to " a little" about Squire of Mallon.—For Chester Cup. 20 to 1 would have been freely taken about the favourite, but the highest offer did notexceed 18 to 1. Newminster returned to 20 to I (taken). —Ruby was the only horse backed for the Two Thousand; 4to 1 taken to a poney. In the city, 7to 2 was taken about Ruby, 9 to 2 &lard°, 8 to 1 Champagne, and 10 to 1 each Phaeton and Middlesex.—Autocrat was again in great force. Additional investments by one who is "a tower of strength" to hi ii amounted to ..e500; the total outlay in his favour at 9to 2 was .'650. King Tom advanced to 7 to). taken • 2000 to SO and 1000 to 40 taken about Acrobat ; 750 to 25 and 600 to 209 about Scythian; 1000 to 25 Knight of St. George ; and 1000 to 20 Brother to Chanticleer. Honeysuckle was ominously out of odour. 1000 to 10 was laid twice. 5000 to 30 taken about Funchbox, and 2000 even betted between Marsyas and Andover. —Closing prices : LIVERPOOL STEEPLE CH ASE. 8 to 1 agst Mr. T.

Bourton was backed for the Liverpool Steeple-chase in a good quarter, at 10 to 1 • and Ruby was in demand for the Two Thousand Guineas, at 4 to I.—The betting opened upon the Chester Cup with offers of 18 to 1 on the field, and subsequently 20 to 1. which was taken about both the Star of Surrey , and Newminater. The latter has for some time been very shaky" in the market, but is now firm, and as good a favourite as anything. There was a disposition to bet against Nabob, and to back Dan Cupid, Blame, Little Jem, and Brother to Little Swift.—For the Derby, 400 to 100 was taken about Autocrat, and 200 to 25 King Tom; Dervish was a little on the decline.

MANCHESTER.—Atthough destitute of anything like anima tion, there has been a less decided dulness in the market this week. Prices have been firm universally, and for some descriptions of yarns and cloth the tendency has been towards an advance. In the absence of anything like stocks, and with a demand equal to the supply, buyers find it difficult to obtain many sorts of yarn at previous rates. the firmness and rather upward movement of cotton assisting to enhance prices. There has been a fair demand for India yarns. There is little doing in water yarns for the continent, the export houses refraining from any extensive operations until some thing more decisive is known as to the probable eventuality of the Eastern question. Manufacturers have been operating toe fair extent, their purchases being partially checked by the advance demanded by spinners. The demand for cloth is pretty good for descriptions for India. Forty-inch shirtings are in pretty good demand, whilst a fair inquiry is still ex perienced forjacconets, for which contracts extending over a lengthened period are held. Printing cloths are not so much in r guest,. whilst for domestic and heavy goods it is difficult to maintain prices on relative value, with the hardening tendencies of the yarn market. ROCHDALE.—The demand for dyed goods has been very limited, and there is little or no inquiry for fine flannels. The business has been chiefly confined to low priced goods, at prices about the same as those of last week.—The wool market is steady, and prices firm. HUDDERSFIELD. —The change of patterns and the nearness of the London wool sales seem to operate, to a certain extent, to prevent merchants doing more than keep up their stock assortments.—As might be expected, the whole trade has been flat during the week. LEEDS.—The cloth markets have been much duller at the Cloth Halls titan for several weeks past; and there has also been less business done out of the market than has been the case of late. This seems to arise from the aspect of political affairs and the fears of the derangement of trade in conse quence. There is no alteration in prices; and although the mills are pretty well ettip!oyed, the stocks in the inanufac tuiers' hands are lower than usual at this season. From the above causes business has also been dull in the warehouses. BRADFORD.—WooI: there has been great dulness in the wool market. The political news appears to deter spinners from buying at the rates now demanded. The holders evince more disposition to sell, no doubt to prevent loss in weight, which the weather in this and the next month always pro duces. Woils and broke are firm, from the small quantity making.—Yarns: the profitless condition of the spit hers is in no degree lessened, and there is no alternative but abort time continuing till there is either a rise in the price of wool, or yarns attain a price commensurate with the production.— Pieces: the business doing continues very sluggish. For the spring there has been, at present, but little provision made; but we are not without hope that ere long we shall see signs of marked activity. NOTTMGHAM.—No improvement in the condition of eitNer the hosiery or lace trades. The town is visited by about the usual number of purchasers, yet the amount of sales does not come.up to the average of previous years. The price of yarn is a trifle more in favour of the buyer. Lasc.Estre R.—There is not any improvement in the general trade this week. All operations for stock are nearly sus pended, only orders being manufactured ; nor can we hope, until continental news becomes more favourable to commer cial transactions, and the price of corn much reduced, for any general improvement in trade and abundant employment. makers ; as far as regards R.

Io.—At this day's market there was a muchthinner attendance of either town or country buyers than for a considerable period ; nevertheless, the tone of the trade, in anticipation of .an early revival of demand, was de cidedly firmer, and though the transactions reported in wheat:and flour are but of limited extent, previous quotations are fully sustained, and in some cases rather more money is required. In barley, malt. beans, and pease, there is no change of value, but the business isquite unimportant. Oats meet a dull sale, and oatmeal, facing the late heavy arrivals, is much neglected, prices of Tuesday being scarcely sup ported. Indian corn must be noted Is per qr. cheaper, and little progress made in sales. BRITISH.

Buyers, however, operated very reluctantly, and but little business was done in any article of the trade. PRESTON, FEB. 11.—There was a small supply of English wheat at our market to-day, the demand for which was languid, and buyers had the turn of prices' in their favour. Irish and Scotch neglected; foreign nominally unaltered. Flour reduced 6d to Is per pack and barrel respectively; beans unvaried; oats in very limited request, and Id per bushel lower; oatmeal quite a drug, though offered at a further abatement of 6d to is per load. Other articles sell slowly at the above rates. WAKEFIELD, FEB. 10.—The condition of the wheat on offer was generally poor, and millers purchased sparingly at a decline of 2s to 3s per quarter on last week's rates. Barley was again lower, and the demand restricted. Oats and shelling sold slowly. Beans were is per quarter cheaper. All other articles without material alteration. Arrivals : Wheat, 7,613; barley, 2,500; oats, 672; beans, 1,016; peas, 33; malt, 65; shelling, 278; linseed, 20. WISBECH, FEB. 11.—We have had a smaller show of wheat to-day : little or no business doing, as farmers would not submit to more than a reduction of 2s to 3s per quarter. Beane, peas, and oats bought on easy terms. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, FEE. 11.—At our market this morning there was a fair supply of home-grown wheat, much of it being of very inferior quality ; good samples were taken off at a decline of 2s per quarter from the prices of Saturday last. South country and foreign must be noted from 2s to 3s per quarter lower, with a sluggish sale. Barley met a dull demand and prices again ratlfer lower. Beans and pease sell in retail at about former prices. There was a good supply of farmers' oats ; fine corn sold well, whilst inferior was slow of sale. CORK, Fan. 11.—Flour is dull, at a decline of Gd to Is per per cwt.; inferiors continue scarce and dear. Foreign wheat Is held more firmly, but sales are few and small. Indian corn drags at 5s per ton reduction. The farmers' supplies are quickly cleared at a moderate reduction on the week. DUBLIN, 'Fan. Io.—We had again a very dull market to-day, and the business done was very trifling. We repeat our quotations of Tuesday for every article.

LIVERPOOL, FEB. 10.—There is a steady though not animated demand for beef, at full prices, and the stocks in the bands of the dealers are much reduced. In pork some parcels of old American have been cleared out at low figures; generally, however, the market is firm. New bacon continues to meet a ready sale as landed, and for so far there is no accumulation of stock. In old some speculative purchases have been made, and in consequence an advance of Is to 2s is now asked. Lard on the spot is scarce, and sells readily at 57s to 58s; for spring' delivery 555 has been paid fur 150 tons. The stock of cheese is getting law, and full rates are paid for fine sorts. FEB. I3.—The transactions in butter were on a limited scale last week, and full prices were obtained for the finest descriptions, but to make progress in sales of middling kinds a reduction of 2a to 3s per cwt. would have been submitted to, had buyers of qui,utity appeared.
