A contemporary, the Church and State Gazette, has rendered good service to the public by entering into some very minute details on this subject, and illustrates the truth of our statement by the three following cases : FIRST CASE A man, his wife, and three children, supported with an in come of £2OO per annum, arising from the husband's salary as a clerk. After hewing very conclusively the reasons which have brought him to the conclusion, our contemporary gives the following resume of the gain which this supposed gentleman will effect by the new Corn Bill and the new Tariff:— On his Bread he will save £2 1 8 Fresh meat 4 11 0 Salted meat.. Fish, herrings, &c. Coffee Potatoes Table beer Boots and shoes • 1 4 0 Candles Saving. £l2 10 2 Deduct Income Tax, not quite Benefit from Sir Robert Peel's plan £6 10 2 No claim is made in these calculations for the reduced prices of fruit, rice, lard, onions, seeds, woods of all kinds, cotton, hair, linen wool, cocoa, straw hats, and a variety of other articles.

But as the object is to convince by undeniable facts, perhaps the course he has adopted is the preferable one. THE DIVISION ON THE REPORT OF THE INCOME TAX Against For the the Majority Motion.

MtIItIDFR AT TtorITAMPTON (From Saturday's London papers.) Nina days have now elapsed since the discovery of the above most inhuman murder, and the perpetrator is still, we we regret to state, at large. Yesterday a sergeant of the C division of police reported to the inspector on duty at the Vine-street station-house the following circumstance :—Abut four o'clock on Thursday afternoon, a man strongly resembling the murderer Daniel Good, and attired in a similar manner to the man who, on the afternoon of Saturday last, went into the shop of Mr. Wilcox, the hairdresser in Marylebone-street, Piccadilly, went into the Compasses public-house, Silver-stroet, Golden square, kept by Mrs. Witham. He had with him a bundle tied up in a silk handkerchief, and a yellow walking-stick. He went up to the bar and called for a pint of beer, and while in the act of drinking some of it lie appeared consider ably agitated, and he asked in a hurried manner for the sight of a newspaper. One was handed to him, and lie stood and looked at it for a minute or two, when he walked with rapid strides to and fro in front of the bar until he appeared tired, when he again stood still. After he had been in the house about half an hour, a stout man, of younger appearance, dressed as a sailor, came in, and, tapping the first man on the shoulder, said to him, " It's time for us to go," and they both then left the house. The landlady was asked by the sergeant if upon her perceiving a resemblance between the man and the description she had read of the murderer Good, she made any alarm, or took any steps for his deten tion, w hen she said that there being only herself and her sister in the house at the time, she was afraid to make any disturbance. The sergeant closely questioned Mrs. Witham as to the description she gave of the man, but she adhered to her first statement. At twelve o'clock at noon yesterday a letter was delivered by the postman at Granard Lodge, the residence of Mr. Quelez Shiell, addressed to that gentleman. It bore the postmark of one of the principal offices (Charing-cross), and was marked " Twopence," being unstamped. On its being opened, it was found that it purported to come from the mur derer, the name of " Daniel Good" being signed at the bottom. The address was much clearer written than on the previous letter, as were also the contents, which were to the following effect : " Dear Sir—l have sent to you again, and for the last time, to ask you to give the £7 lOs to my desolate son, and be kind to watch over my poor boy. To-night, at twelve o'clock I jump off Waterloo-bridge. My body will be found in the river, near Waterloo-bridge. Good by, God bless you. I die in grace. (Signed) " DAN. GOOD." The letter bears no date, but the postmark is Thursday evening, eight o'clock. Immediately after reading the letter Mr. Shiell despatched it to Superintendent Bicknell's house, by whom it was forwarded to the commissioners' office, in Scotland-yard, by a mounted express. The authenticity of the letter is doubted by the police authorities, who deem it to be the work of some trifling person for the purpose of an noying the feelings of the aged master of the murderer. Up to a late hour last night no direct clue bad been ob tained by the police likely to lead to the apprehension of the murderer. APPREHENSION OF THE MURDERER. (Abridged from yesterday's Times.) The inhuman monster, Daniel Good, is, we are happy to say, at length apprehended, and is now in safe custody in Maidstone Gaol. The circumstances connected with the dis covery of the retreat of the murderer and his apprehension are as singular as were those under which the first discovery of the murder was made. On yesterday se'nnight he hired himself at Tonbridge in Kent, as a bricklayer's labourer, under the name of James Connor. He performed his work well and was regularly at it, but he shunned all communication with his fellow-work men. He was noticed by the female with whom he took up his abode as lodger to show many peculiarties of conduct, and was very restless all night, sighing and moaning. He continued at work as usual until last Saturday morning, when a man named Thomas Rose, who had formerly been a con stable of the V division of the metropolitan police, and while so was stationed at Wandsworth, but who now is a labouring man residing in Tonbridge, saw the man calling himself Con nor at work, and immediately recognizing him as the mur derer Good, accosted him, and said, " Why you are the man Good. Your name is Daniel Good." The man replied, " No, it is not ; my name is James Connor." Rose then said, " Why, you are he that I have seen in Putney Park lane ; you was coachman to a gentleman there." The man told him he was mistaken, he never had been a coachman, and was quite unacquainted with any place called Putney Park-lane. Rose then said, " Oh, I have seen you frequently at the stables opposite to Mr. Hutton's, and you know young Houghton." The man again denied all knowledge of either the place or the person he was alleged to be intimate with, but he did so in so confused a manner as at once to convince Rose that he was no other than Daniel Good, the murderer. Rose did not then attempt to take the alleged Connor into custody, but gave private directions to some persons near to watch him, whilst he (Rose) went to give information to Mr. Humphrey, the superintendent of police. That officer re turned with Rose, and, feeling satisfied there was sufficient in the appearance of the man, and in his conduct, to warrant his detention, took him into custody, and conveyed him to the watchhouse. Mr. Hare, a resident magistrate, was then sent for, who directed the prisoner to be brought before him at the offices of the magistrate's clerk, Mr. Scoone. Mr. Hate took his seat upon the bench at two o'clock. Evidence to the above effect was then gone into, and the prisoner was committed to Maidstone gaol. The prisoner brought a bundle with him to Tunbridge, in which were found, after his apprehension, the old drab frock coat, drab trousers and gaiters which were stated to have been worn by Good when he escaped from the stables in Putney Park Lane, and several other articles usually worn by grooms. The prisoner was afterwards identified by a private constable who was perfectly acquainted with his person. A man, of the name of Richard Gammell, in Symonds'- buildings, Gray's Inn-lane, has been also taken into custody, on a charge of harbouring and secreting the murderer. On searching this man's room several gowns and other articles of female apparel which are believed to have belonged to the murdered woman were found. At an early hour yesterday morning, " Molly Good," the murderer's reputed wife, was taken into custody, on a charge of being accessory to the murder after the fact. They will be brought up at the Bow-street police-court this (Monday) morning, before Mr. Hall, the chief magistrate, for ex amination. WEST INDIAN IMMIGRATION TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN ANTI- SLAVERY SOCIETY, 27, NEW BROAD-STREET Berkeley House, April 14, 1842, Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of a pamphlet, en titled, " Emigration from India," to which your name, " on behalf of the committee of our British and Foreign Anti-Sla very Society," is subscribed. In return I have to request that you will acquaint the members of that committee that it has been with the deepest regret that I have looked through the pages of that publication, and in it perceived a vein so party-stricken and purposely deceptive as to the real inten tions of those who are advocates for the importation of free labour into the Mauritius, as well as other places, that I can not but regard it as calculated to do an infinity of mischief to the general welfare of British colonial property, while, at the same time, it amounts to an address favourable to the foreign slaver. I have ever voted for, and been an unflinching advocate in furtherance of the abolition of slavery ; but, at the same time, I have never lent myself, nor will I lend - myself, to the views of a party who seem entirely to forget that there are other interests as well as those of the negro population which are entitled to an equal share of just and fair attention from the government of this country. At the present moment there exists a ruinous depression on colonial property, as un called for as it is cruel. There are localities where our black population cannot be induced, either by fair and ample amount of wages, or by giving them an interest in the produce, to work upon estates; and to such an extent has this existed, that the owners of many estates have been necessitated to expend far more than the sum received as compensation, in forced disbursements, without a shilling of income in return. It is an established fact, that, in the last year, the cost of la bour in making a hogshead of sugar, in British Guiana, was greater than the value obtained for that commodity in the London market. _ _ In parts of British Guiana a fortnight's labour, or less, will supply a native family with vegetables for 12 months ; the river abounds with the finest fish, while the " bush," or forest, is full of deer and hogs ; in addition to this the climate and the custom of the country renders clothing in no way im portant to the comfort of the negro. They have at their com mand the necessaries of life without the necessity of money to procure them. How, then, can you awaken in the breast of these people a desire for gold, or give them an interest in produce arising from the culture of the land ? I would impress upon the anti-slavery committee, and on the public, that unless free labour be introduced, and that to a widely spread and liberal extent, the cultivation of our' colonies must eventually be abandoned, our possessions be returned into the hands of a black population, our nursery for seamen and the consumption of 14,000,000 of home pro duce be lost to this country, the cause of religion relinquished, and that which was once a boasted territory, its population and all, be left to retrograde into a state of barbarism. We have it now before our eyes, that the negroes in De merara have struck to a mau for exorbitant wages, while as a fact in favour of free labour importation, it is proved that the Portuguese emigrant has remained faithful and content ed with his employer. Do not tell me then that religion, reason, or justice demand that we should oppose an emigra tion properly regulated, and where the spiritual and tempo ral welfare of the labourer would be duly considered and cared for by Government. I repeat, sir, my regrets, that a struggle so just and beauti ful as the one in which we were lately engaged in for the abolition of slavery should now be turned into a mere run, and an unjust one too, against individual property, simply because that property is situated where slavery used to exist. For myself, I am an advocate for the general importation of free labour to the Mauritius, to the British West India colonies, wherever it is required—Guiana, Demerara, and Berbice—guarded, as the measure should be, with the utmost jealousy as to the welfare, spiritual and temporal, of the emigrants. _ _ _ A - sufficiency of free labour once fairly obtained, the Bri tish West India merchant need fear no reduction of the du ties on foreign sugar, but, on the contrary, he would be able to compete with the market of the world. - Your most obedient humble servant, GRANTLEY, FITZHARDINGE BERKELEY The number of salted hides received from La Plata in 1841 exhibits an increase of 277.342 over that imported in 1840 ; the number received in 1840 being 344,455, whereas the number imported in 1841 amounts to 621,797. Again, the number of dry, ox and cow hides imported in 1841 ex hibits an increase over that entered in 1840 amounting to 71,250. EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE OF DIVINE WORSHIP. —On Sunday morning divine service was performed at the Institution of the Refuge for the Adult Destitute Deaf and Dumb, in Bartlett's-buildings, Holborn, London. The congregation was composed chiefly of deaf and dumb per sons, and this is the first attempt at instructing in scriptural doctrines by public worship that class of the suffering com munity labouring under the deprivation of the senses of hearing and speaking ever made. The service was con ducted in the following manner, and presented a most inter esting scene :—Mr. Rosser, a deaf and dumb gentleman, performed, if it may be so termed, selections from the morn ing service, which was done by making signs with his fing ers, and the rapidity with which he did it was wonderful. The Lord's Prayer was delivered entirely by pantomimical gestures, and was a beautiful specimen of expressive silence. After the morning service Mr. J. G.

The " brief" lately issued from the Vatican, enjoining a plenary indulgence in the form of a jubilee to all the faithful, that their prayets may be offered up for the maintenance of the Papal supremacy in Spain, has thrown the Irish Roman Catholic hierarchy into a perfect ferment. " Pastorals" are flying in all directions descriptive of the schism and its con comitant evils which threaten to supersede the authority of Pope Gregory XVI in the government of the Spanish Church. "John Taam" was the first to respond to the warning voice from Rome ; and the echo has been caught up by Drs. Blake and Keatinge, titulars of Dromore and Ferns. The former, in the course of his " Pastoral," quotes the following pas sages &bin the " lamentations of the common father," to use the words of Dr. Blake himself; and to say the truth, ac cording to this statement, matters appear to fully justify Pope Gregory's wont apprehensions : " In the supreme councils of that kingdom," says his holi ness, " an execrable law has been proposed, tending princi pally to destroy altogether legitimate ecclesiastical authority, and to establish the impious doctrine, that lay power, by its own supreme right, should rule over the Church and all its affairs. " This law declares that the Spanish nation shall entertain no respect for the Apostolic See ; that all communications with it, for whatsoever ecclesiastical favours, indulgences, and concessions, shall be intercepted ; and that all those who shall resist this order shall be severely punished. It is fur ther decreed that all apostolic letters, and other rescripts emanating from the Holy See, unless they be sought of Spain, not only shall not be observed and be without any effect, hut must be denounced by those to whom they shall come, within a brief space of time, to the civil authority, that they may be handed over by it to the government ; and a punishment is also appointed for those who shall violate this prescription, that no cause shall be referred from Rome to Spain on the subject of religious concerns. In fine, the sacred right which belongs to the Roman Pontiff of confirming or rejecting bishops in Spain is entirely abolished ; and both the priests who, being designated for any episcopal church, shall seek either confirmation or apostolic letters from the Holy See, and metropolitans who shall solicit the pallium, are punished with exile." SIR R. PEEL'S FINANCIAL MEASURES The following resolutions have been agreed to by the Glas gow Chamber of Commerce :- I.—That the chamber having at its last general meeting declined to pronounce an opinion concerning the corn laws, until the intentions of government on this and kindred sub jects were known, and, as these intentions are now before the public, it becomes the duty of the directors to revert to so important a matter. IL—That objections to particular parts of the entire finan cial scheme proposed by Sir Robert Peel should not be al lowed to militate against it as a whole, because, though there are few branches of trade or manufacture which do not con sider themselves to be more or less injuriously affected thereby, yet the fact that so many demands for modification are made, not in regard to the whole, but by each man for his special department, proves that the public will be gainers, and thus these same persons who remonstrate will themselves be benefitted in every branch, except, perhaps, their own, while the fairness and impartiality of the measure are further evidenced by the great number and variety of the articles subjected to alteration. 3.—ln the opinion of the chamber the scheme submitted to parliament by the first minister of the crown is an impartial compromise between the conflicting interests he had to re concile. And, considering its vast and comprehensive cha racter, the necessity of equalising the revenue and expendi ture of the country, the complicated interests involved, and the many and great difficulties arrayed against it, the direc tors believe that it will confer as much real benefit on trade and manufactures, and on the public, as it was possible, in the present state of the country, to expect. 4.—The directors further believe that many of the parties who at present expect to be hurt thereby, will ultimately find the injury so inflicted to be very little, and that little proba bly more than compensated for by countervailing advantages ; while they have perfect confidence in the wisdom and fairness of the government to grant such modification in special cases as the speciality may require and the general weal admit; and the chamber does not by these resolutions, intend to fetter itself from presenting to government any such special cases as may seem to require its interference. s.—While thus accepting the government scheme as a comprehensive and wise measure, the Chamber is nevertheless convinced that, if sudden effect•be given to the alteration of duties on some of the greater articles (such as timber and India coffee, not of British plantations), much individual loss and suffering will be occasioned, for which it can discern no adequate advantage to the public service, and, therefore, earnestly desires that a reasonable period be allowed to run off existing stocks and to make new arrangements. THE WAVERLEY NOVELS Time, which is " a sore decayer" of minor reputations, would seem but to have matured and mellowed the fame of Sir Walter Scott ; and that fame, as it has ripened, has en larged. Successive editions of his works have poured them selves, not only throughout these islands, but over all the civilized surface of the European and American continents, rolling on like the waves of the sea, with as rapid an advent, and almost in as countless numbers. There is hardly a class of readers conversant with our language to whom hi s inci dents, his characters, his descriptions, his kindly feelings, and his attractive lore, have not become a permanent delight and a favourite study. His family, within these few days, have begun to send forth his novels in a new impression of some thousands of copies, called the Abbotsford edition, more interesting and more perfect than any of its predecessors. The s c h eme o f i t is to illustrate the novels by authentic likenesses of the most distinguished:historical persons of . his dramas, and the most remarkable objects and places whic h fo rm their decorations and scenery. The imagination of Scott,. creative as it was, appeared ever to desiderate some visible object for a ground work, some extant portrait, or . some living landscape, or some well-preserved relic, by which it could bridge the airy space between the present and the past, and transport itself back into the daily life of the generations gone by. These germs of his great works are now collected, to accompany their narrative, and illustrate their conception. " Accord ingly, the real localities of his scenes have been explored ; the real portraits of his personages have been copied ; and his surviving friends and personal admirers, as well as many public bodies and institutions, have liberally placed whatever their collections afforded at the disposal of the eminent ar tists engaged by the proprietors." Among these artists are Wilkie, Landseer, Stanfield, Maclise, Allan, Nasmyth, and, many others whose very names give earnest of excellence. The promised embellishments are to be in number about 2,000 ,• and among these, as Mr. Loc khar t says in a note to one of his friends, which we have chanced to see, " the rea der will have the real portraitures of almost all Scott's heroes from history, of all the castles and towers that haunted his imagination, and of all the multifarious articles of curiosity which he delighted in assembling about him, and showing off to his visiters." The first number, the only one which has yet appeared, contains a portion of Waverley, and compri ses , among th e landscapes, a view of the Highlands, from the Teith below Callander, and of the celebrated (xildon-hills, the land of Thomas of Ercildoune. Among the relics we have the ar morial bearings of Sir Walter himself, the chair i n w hi c h he sate, and the desk in which the manuscript of Waverley was found ; and among the specimens of costume, the Court dress of the time of George 11., and the figure, in uniform, of an officer of the Black Watch. These, and most others of the engravings, 24 in number, which embelli s h thi s first part, are given from the reality ; others, equally beautiful, are from fancy drawings, which harmonise with the taste of the author, and accurately reflect, in the style of their buildings and figures, the general character of the time to which the story of Waverley belongs. The sale of this edition is likely to be an extensive one in all quarters of the world ; and upon this the family of Scott have probably been taught by their publisher to calculate; for it is only by the large demand which may be expected for such a work that they can possibly be reimbursed for it, at the extremely low price which they have put on each num ber. We doubt not that they have judged wisely ; and we rejoice in every undertaking that widens the sphere of their great progenitor's reputation, and with it the reputation of our common country. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has consented to preside at the approaching Literary Fund anniversary festival. THE PATRIOTIC PREMIER.-Sir Robert Peel is a con siderable land-owner in Staffordshire, and the right hon. ba ronet, in order to become the sufferer himself, rather than his tenantry should sustain any loss or injury in the event of his reduced scale of import duties proving temporarily pre judicial to the interests of agriculture, has given instructions for their rents to be reduced twenty per cent. How widely different are acts like these to those the country has been ac customed to look upon from a " liberal" ministry. FRACTURE OF A MAN'S LEG BY AN ELEPHANT.—On Thursday afternoon week, about four o'clock, John Glas cott, a groom in the service of Mr. Turner, of Dean-street, Commercial-road East, London, accompanied by his master and three children, entered a caravan and booth in a piece of waste ground opposite Philpot-street, Commercial-road, in which an elephant has been exhibited for some weeks past, for the purpose of witnessing the feats of the animal and other performances. The elephant, which is described as ten years old, and one of the most harmless and docile that has ever been in this country, was marching about the booth with three men on his back, and perfectly quiet. The moment the animal had espied Glascott, who at the time had his child, a boy of about four years old, in his arms, it be came exceeding restless and out of temper. This latter fact was evinced by his bellowing out loudly two or three times, and then stretching out his trunk wound it round the left leg of Glascott, lifted him off the ground, and dashed him with force to the further corner of the booth. On being taken up, it was found that Glascott had received a severe fracture of the left leg. He was instantly removed to the London Hospital. WHIG PURITY OF ELECTION.—We have been often nause fied with the whig cry of purity of election, knowing that fre quently the greatest criminals declaim most loudly against those of minor degree, in the hope of exciting a veneration for their own character. In the Ipswich election inquiry, instituted on a petition cpmplaining of the return of the sitting members, Messrs. Wason and Rennie, on the ground of bribery and corruption, Mr. Austen, the counsel for the petitioners, stated that it would be proved that Mr. Wason had lodged in the whig bankers of Ipswich, Messrs. Alexander and Co., three exchequer bills for £lOOO each, just previous to the election. He would also prove that the several parties he would mention were also bribed—William Brown, who resided in London, on his arrival in Ipswich got £l5 for his vote ; Joseph Keys, £5 ; a person of the name of Bridges, £l5 ; two voters of the name of Scarlet got £5 each ; a voter of the name of Sharman, £4O; Puffing, £10; Smith, £l5. Bloss, £l5 ; Gibson, £l5. There was also a person of the name of Johnson in gaol, and for his offence was subjected to the silent system. He was visited by the barber to the gaol, who not only got him bailed o ut but g ave him £5 for his vote, and he voted for the sitting members. The learned counsel then read a speech of Mr. Wason, lately delivered at Ipswich, where he admitted that a person of the name of Smith, the landlord of the Suffolk Hotel, bribed extensively. He there said that he would state a fact which brought bribery home to Mr. Wason himself. A person of the name of Talbot was at the Suffolk Hotel , when Smith, the landlord, was offering him a bribe of £25. Mr. Wason drove up in his carriage, and was told that Talbot had been ()tiered £25, and shook hands with the voter. The learned counsel, in conclusion, said that he would prove that the most extensive acts of .bribery and corruption had taken place at the late election for Ipswich, which be had no doubt would unseat the sitting members. In the Sudbury election committee evidence in support of the allegation of wholesale bribery on the part of the sitting members, both whigs, was proceeded with. Mr. William Hervey Cross stated that he wa s a coach man. On the day of the last election he was in Sudbury. His father and brother were voters of that borough. Mr. Francis Gooday offered £5O if lie could persuade his father and brother to vote for the whig candidates. He mentioned that offer, but his father and brother refused to accept it, and voted for the blue or conservative party. Mr. Nicholas Cross stated that he h a d been offered bribes, like many o th er electors, to vote for the sitting members. The Sudbury election committee, on Thursday, came to the conclusion that the sitting members, Mr. Villiers and Mr. Sombre, were not duly elect e d, an d oug ht not to have been returned. ' and that the el ec ti on was a vo id e l e ction, on the ground that gross, systematic, and extensive bribery had been proved against the age n t s o f t h e s i tt i ng mem b er s : and they ca me t o th fur ther unanimous resolution, that, in consequence, the borough ought to be disfranchised, and that a new writ ought not to be issued. btpitig fitte!ii4enit - FRIDAY, AriilL Is:.—Wind East, moderate, Aft R VED, — Golden Fleece, Hubbock, from Pernambuco; sailed Ird March.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 18 We have had a large supply of Beasts at this day's market, and prices a little on the decline. The number of Sheep was small, and last week's prices were fully supported. Prime Beef 6d to 6id, middling sid ; Bulls and Segs Sid to 4cl ; prime Wethers lid to 7d; middling 70 r lb, sinking the offal. Number of Beasts, 1141 ; Sheep 246. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, APRIL 18 There has been a continued good demand for Butter since our last,—all descriptions participating .—and upon privately inspected parcels of late importation, and tolerable freshness, an advance of about 3s per cwt. is obtainable. We may, however, mention that the better kinds have for some time back been quoted, and dis posed of, at unnecessary low rates. Prime Beef and Pork, sup port our last quotations. Middling articles are plentifuland cheap. Bacon of prime quality 50s. Sympathetic Lard, (Yankee and Irish incorporated) 43s to 50s per cwt. in firkins. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 15. The duties for the ensuing week are advanced to 24s 3d on foreign Beans, to 22s 9d on Pease, and reduced to 18s 3d per quarter on Rye, remai n i ng unvar i e d upon all other produce ; these periodical changes we continue to notice, although in dependent of the prospect of an early alteration to a reduced scale, the high rates of duty attained for some time past have rendered them almost entirely inoperative. Notwithstanding the wind has remained contrary, the ar rivals into this port since Tuesday contain a fair quantity of Malt and Barley coastwise, a few cargoes of Oats from Ire land, and upwards of 9000 quarters of foreign Wheat, chiefly from France and the Mediterranean. The transactions in any free articles of the trade during the same time have been light ; but having experienced re peated inquiries for bonded Wheats, several parcels on the spot have found buyers, as well as one or two cargoes to ar rive, at prices somewhat higher than were previously obtain able. Upon a very small number of country millers this morning, and our local buyers still showing no disposition to increase their stocks beyond their immediate requirements, the sales of all descriptions of free Wheat were very moderate in amount, at prices in some instances scarcely equal to, and in others ra ther under the rates of Tuesday.—Bonded Wheats, however, continued to command attention, and several further opera tions having taken place, the sales within the last three days comprise two parcels of French at 6s. Bd. to 6s. 9d., one of Egyptain at ss. 3d., and one of hard Odessa at ss. 6d. pe r albs. in granary ; with a cargo of Polish Odessa afloat at 465., and one of Ancona at 495. per quarter, including cost on board and freight. English, Irish, and foreign, duty-paid, Flour, having met with but little notice, barely maintained our last quotations. Barley, Beans, and Peae sold with little difficulty, and in small quantities only realised their previous value ; Malt, on the contrary, was in fair request, and fully as dear as of late. Oats, being rather more plentiful, were offered freely and were the turn cheaper; and Oatmeal, in the absence of country demand, was somewhat depressed in value. WAKEFIELD CO ,N MARKET, Aram IS, . With the exception of Barley the arrivals of grain for this slaws market are moderato. The finest samples of new and old Wheat brought last week's prices with a good demand, other sorts dull sale. The malting season being nearly over, Barley barely sup ported last week's prices. Beans, Oats and Shellings the turn dearer with more inquiry. Peas neglected. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. APRIL T 5 Since Monday the supply of English Wheat has been trifling, and the sales effected were at Monday's currency. The trade for free foreign is exceedingly inactive, that scarcely any transactions have taken place, and in order to dispose of a quantity, a decline from Monday's quotations would be taken. There has been some in quiry for bonded Wheat, but at lower prices than demanded. Barley, Peas, and BeafA remain as on Monday. Irish Oats are lower, but English are unaltered in value. In consequence of an increased demand, red Clover seed has advanced 5s from the lowest price. Arrivals this Week.—English, Wheat, 2,740 qrs; Barley, 2,610 qrs; Oats; 3,130 qrs; Flour, 3,920 sacks. Irish, Oats, 570 qrs. Foreign, Wheat, 500 qrs; Oats, 1,830 qrs. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, APRIL 15 in In our market of to day there was a slight increase the supply of Beasts, but it was chiefly composed of the refuse of Monday, Owing to the thin attendance of dealers, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, and previous rates were with difficulty sup ported. From Scotland we received 240 horned and polled Scots, together with 150 Sheep, but only 120 of the former were brought forward this morning. The number of Sheep was fair for the time of year, while the sale for them was slow, and the highest figure obtained for the best old Downs in their wool was 4s 8d per Sibs. The receipts of Lambs were tolerably good, but of middling and inferior quality. The Lamb trade was dull, but no depression was noticed in the quotations. Owing to Calves being abundant, the inquiry for them was heavy, at an abatement of 2d per Blbs. In Pigs little was passing. Milch Cows moved off slowly, at from £l6 to .4'20 lOs each, including their small Calf. By the quantities of 81bs, sinking the offal.

Foreign.—About 180 cases Bahai have been sold to the Refinors, at 14s 6d for very ordinary old, to 17s 6d for good new brown, and 18s for old low, to 22s 6d per cwt. for good white.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 15 • The active demand noticed yesterday again opened the market this morning. There has been a fair attendance of the trade, which, with the speculative enquiry, has caused a business of about 6000 bales, one-half of which has been on speculation account. Cotton continues to be freely offered, and the market very firm, at the full prices of yesterday. The weekly sales amount to 39,000 bales, of which 12,000 are placed to speculation account, and 2100 for export. COTTON MARKET, APRIL 15, This morning it was very evident, from the general inquiry, that another large business would be done in Cotton, and from 7 to 8000 bales have been sold, about one half on speculation account The large buyers of Thursday and Friday are still operating freely, so that the speculative inquiry lies in a small compass. Prices are tightning. COTTON MARKET, APRIL 18 Our Cotton market was opened this morning with a general and good demand both from the trade and speculators, particularly from the former, but the market having been pretty well cleared last week, brokers asked a further advance on their stocks, which for a time checked the progress of business, buyers being not only unwilling to meet it, but absolutely refusbd to purchase, except at last week's prices, or at about id to 4cl advance on the prices of this day week, particularly for American descriptions, from 4id to 4id or sd,—in this way about 6000 bales have been sold, 1000 to speculators and a few hundred for export. The market closes with very great firmness. COTTON MARKET.-WEEKLY REPORT. In the early part of the week there was a very good demand, which continued until Wednesday, on which day there was less doing, and prices had a tendency downwards; yesterday, however, there were speculators in the market to a large extent, and their operations have been followed up to-day, which, aided by a good business for the trade, has been the cause of prices regaining the trifling decline, and the market has closed firmly at the quotations of Friday last. Speculators have taken 12,000 American, and ex porters 1500 American, 100 Peruvian, 350 Surat and 150 Madras. ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the Bth to the 14th instant,inclusive.
