The past week closed with m ore or l ess o f d ecl i ne in the that value of Wheat in all the mar k e t s o f t h e k i ngdom, while of spring corn has been generally well supported, and in some cases rather exceeded. The large arrivals off' the coast from the Black Sea, with a considerable import of Wheat from the Baltic, and fresh arr i va l s i n l arge mtitv, c:liefly i n Flour, across the Atlantic, are evi dently in excess of the immediate wants of the trade : the farmers' deliveries being, at the same time, beyond the aver. age of many previous week s , th oug h forming a very meagre quantity as compared with former seasons at this period. Under such circumstances, prices have yielded but little; Many of the ships at calling ports have found destinations, and, with comparatively light stocks in the hands of eon. Rimers in all directions, it may not be unreasonable to look for a large demand meeting a large supply. It is not expected that receipts from the Black Sea or Baltic can be presently repeated to any 'extensive amount, and some time may elapse before we are again so abundantly supplied from America, the pre sent being an accumu l at i on kept out by a long course of easterly w i n d s . T he weather these few days has been More favourable for the country, a good deal of rain having fallen in all directions, which will greatly benefit the spring -sown crops. The business here has been quiet since Friday. and without disposition to force sales, rather lower rates would have been taken for wheat, flour, and Indian corn. The market to-day was well attended, and there was a good consumptive demand for wheat and flour at Friday's Prices. Indian corn was fully 2s. per quarter lower. In other articles a moderate business doing without altera tion i n prices. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH..) THE WAR. The Times has received, from its Vienna correspondent, the following despatch, containing as he says , " The Rus. g ian report of the b om b ar d ment of ' Odessa :"—The English and French admirals demanded the surrender of the Rus. Can ships in the port of Odessa. This being refused, the b ombardment began from eighteen ships. A small part of the city was destroyed. An attempt to land eighteen hundred men failed. Three steamers are said to be much damaged. The Times feels some regret that the first blow in the War should have fallen upon a commercial city, rather than a military or naval port ; but the Russian authorities .. _. ll t Odessa are to blame, for having drawn down this cala mity on their fellow-citizens, by an outrage on a flag of truce. With respect to the details of the bombardment, the Timea awaits a more trustworthy report than that which has pro bably been transmitted to Vienna through Russian sources. BILISTRIA, APRIL 25. -The bombardment has produced no effect. The Russians are expected to attack on the Ist of May, with 30,000 men, who will cross •the river under cover of seventeen heavy batteries. The passage of the river at Oltenitza is expected at the same time. Onsove, APRIL 28.—Sixteen thousand T ur k s h ave gone gown the stream from Kalafat towards Rahova.

(From the Second Edition of the Times.) The Journal de St. Petersburg of the 23rd contains a Proclamation from the Emperor to his people, in which lie represents the war against England and France as one Undertaken in defence of the orthodox faith. England and France have thrown off' the mask and revealed their real object, which is, to weaken Russia and deprive her of her powerful position in Europe. Russia Will tight for the Christian faith in defence, of her co. religionists, oppressed by their merciless enemies. At Warsaw one million roubles in paper had been lamed. Prussia has forbidden privateers to enter her harbours. A private telegraphic despatch, received from Odessa by an eminent Greek firm, and dated the 26th ult., states that the whole of the combined fleet took its departure on the morning of that day.

The Cheek of the Russians in the Dobrudscha is confirmed ; but the details, and exact place where it occurred, "re not known. Silistria had been most vigorously attacked, but had te aleted with success. The Russian losses were already considerable. 1401sT DON STOCK & SHARE MARKET.—Titts DAL NOON QUOTATIONS. ijitE FUNDS.— Consols for Account, 877 1 8 18 ; ditto Fr 8 8 71 ; Bank Stock, 20041 2; Exchequer-bills, L. and dis. 2 pin. ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent., 88 71. voantoN STOCK. — Russian, 921. t, RAILwAy SHARES .— Caledonian , 531 4; Eastern Conn -121; Great Northern, 87, A. 751- B. 1201 ; Great "tern? ton Lancashire and Yorkshire, 61 601; North W estern , Brigh and South Coast, 984 ; London and Eastern Western, 961 ; Midland Stock, 581; South. aastern and Dover, 594 ; York, Newcastle, and Berwick, York and North Midland, 451 1. ‘a7stal Palace, 64 4. kAisT, CHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE.---TOlB DLL NOON QUOTATIONS.
