The return of the President at this critical juncture, will have a bad effect on the affairs of the United States Bank, as Mr. Jaudon has thereby been delayed at least 14 days, at a time when the affairs of the Bank are fast reaching a crisis. He cannot now expect to be in London before December Ist, and as the Bank is to resume in January, but two weeks re mains for negociations in a difficult market. State Stocks in this market have been heavy at a down ward tendency since the arrival of the Acadia. A loan was made by the State of New York, on the 7th instant, for the Oneida River Improvement, to the amount of 25,000 dollars five per cent. stock, redeemable in 1860, at 91 for each 100 dollars. The last loan previously made by the state, was 1,500,000 five per cent. 'stock, redeemable in 1858, at 91.

There are very many dealers here from the west, and along the line of the canals, taking advantage of the unusually fine weather, to complete their stock of goods, and get their produce to market before the setting in of winter. The conveyances on the North River are, consequently, in full activity, and our city dealers seem to have returned to business with more confidence in the future, from the result of the elections. Corrozv—Maintains its quiet appearance. Prices have not varied materially, but show a tendency to recede. At Boston, the market has been very inactive. The arrivals of new cot ton have not been offered in the market. A few small parcels New Orleans were sold at 11/ a 12. In the southern ports the influence of the recent warlike news upon the market tends to check operations. The new crop, in most quarters, continues to promise well. The fine weather which has ge nerally prevailed for the last few weeks, by facilitating the most important operation of the planter, that of " picking out," has materially increased the probabilities of a large yield.

The occasional acts of incendiarism along the Canada border produce some local transient irrita tion, but it amounts to nothing. The preliminary arrange ments for the elections to the United Parliament are in progress, and the canvass seems to excite an unusual degree of interest. The measure of the union of the two provinces is gradually becoming acceptable to the people, and all active opposition has ceased. In whatever way the policy of the British cabinet may be viewed, it will appear obvious that a strong disposition to promote strength in the American Colonies is fully established. The Canadian papers announce that the British Govern ment has directed a survey and report of the condition of all the harbours on Lake Erie in the Province and the roads leading to them, with the view to their improvement. The construction of a M'Adam road from Hamilton, westward through Brantford, and the survey of other routes for rail roads, indicate the fact that Great Britain is not unmindful of the agricultural and commercial interests of its people. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—TnIs DAY (From Messrs. It. MAKIN 8c SONS' Circular.) In consequence of adverse winds, we have very little pro duce of any kind to report from Ireland, scarcely any coast wise, and none whatever from abroad since this day se'nnight. The duties on all descriptions of foreign, as well as colonial produce, continue, until Friday neat, precisely the same as last week. During the interim from Tuesday last until to-day, the only prominent feature in the trade was a tolerable demand for Canadian and States Flour on the terms last noted ; and although transactions in any kind of Grain appeared to be very unimportant, the general currency stated in our last circular remained steady. Having a very slender attendance of town and country millers at this day's market, the Wheat trade exhibited an extremely dull aspect, and although holders did not generally appear disposed to force business at much lower rates, yet in partial instances a small abatement was submitted to, and had sales been practicable beyond a moderate amount, a decline of Id to 2d per 701bs must have been conceded. The pressure of the air is, at the level of the sea, about 15 lbs. on every square inch, and is capable of supporting a column of water 30 feet high, and one of mercury of 30 in.— that is, a column of mercury one inch square and 30 inches long, has the same weight (nearly 15 lbs) as a column of water of equal base and 34 feet long, and as a column of air of equal base, reaching from the level of th e sea t o th e e x treme limit of the atmosphere. 1728 cubic inches, or 1 foot cubic of water, weighs 1,000 ounces, avoirdupoise ; 1728 cubic inches, or one foot cubic of mercury, weighs 13,600 ounces, avoirdupoise. A large proportion of the ingredients which constitute the mass of the earth contain oxygen gas, so that it is not exag gerating to affirm, that one-half of our globe is composed of this element. This will appear more evidently when we take into consideration the composition of the primitive rocks, taking as an example granite, which may be considered an aggregate of feldspar, quartz, and mica. We find by analysis that felspar is composed of Common Felspar. Ceylon. Siberian. Silex Alumina . 24 20.5 .. Lime Ox. 1r0n.... 2.0 Potash O.O . 0.0. Silicia is composed of 15 silicium lor 50 per cent. of oxy -15 oxygen J gen. Alumina is composed of 123.00 sulphate of alum. 119.32 bisulph. of potash. 187.00 water. 429.32 Quartz may be considered as nearly pure silica, the compo sition of which, as stated Above, is about 50 per cent. o oxygen. Mica is a compound, and, as analyzed by Vauque lin, is composed of &lex 5O Bergmen, 40 Alumina Lime Magnesia 1.35 5 .ox. iron Loss.. - 100.00 a pleat is too long deprived of light, it will again actually ap• propriate what has already been deposited, Rd thus we may account for the absorbtion of oxygen, to convert the carbon again into carbonic acid, and what carbonic acid. might by the roots be absorbed, be thrown off during night. If this is the real condition, it follows that vegetables must be considered renovators of the atmosphere, and this, as I stated before, is found to be the case. For if the superfluous carbon is again rendered vitiated, of course all that is appropriated, must be put down to the credit of renovation—and on the return of daylight a fresh accession is made to the deposition of woody fibre. Again, there are other vegetables which abound in acidu lous products whose composition proves that they absorb an excess of oxygen, and of course prove prejudicial to the at mosphere ; but their relative value is so trifling, that it scarcely forms an iota in the grand scale of vegetable production. But there is a third class, which demands more considera tion, and that is those of a resinous character, in which there seems to be oxygen thrown off both from the carbon and water, and retaining hydrogen in excess. Carbon. Oxygen. Hydrogen. Resin of turpentine 75.94 13.34 10.72 Copal Olive oil In these instances it is obvious that there is a large excess of hydrogen, and this is obtainable only from the water of the atmosphere, but if there is an excess of hydrogen retained in the vegetable composition, it is equally certain that this oxy gen with which it was united must be placed to the credit of the renovation of the atmosphere. Let us next take some of the leading proximate principles of vegetables, thus — Gum is composed of Carbon Oxygen .. st Hydrogen 41.906 51.306 6.788 Foreign Flour, duty paid, continued to meet a fair inquiry, and this, as well as approved marks of Irish and home ma nufacture, fully supported late prices.

PRESENTATION OF A VALUABLE SILVER MEDAL BY THE ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIFE FROM FIRE.-Mr. Edward Booth, surgeon, late a medical student, of King's College, residing at No. 19, Salisbury-street, Strand, who, at great peril to himself, rescued nine persons from the flames, who must have otherwise perished, on the night of the 14th of April last, has received the reward of a silver medal from the above society. It is to be regretted that their funds will not enable them to present medals of gold. It appears that the most heroic conduct was displayed by this young gentleman. Being engaged at his studies till midnight, he was able promptly to render such assistance as to entitle him not only to the small token of encouragement given by the Royal Society in such interesting cases, but a l so to the lasting gratitude of the family he saved (a Mr. Robert son of Salisbury street) and the admiration of the public. Instead of matters of such moment being passed over with silent indifference, it would not be too much if a magnificent temple were erected at public expense, and such deeds as those achieved by Mr. Booth, recorded therein on tablets of gold.—Morning Herald.—Mr. Booth is a son of the Rev. E. Booth, Tyldesly, in this county. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION OF COALS AT SEA.—The barque Amazon, Campbell, of Liverpool, sailed from Pem brey, near Llanelly, on the 9th May last, for Bombay, with a cargo of coals for the East India Company. On the 4th June, in lat. 9 29 N., long. 25 20 W., a large mass of the coals ignited from spontaneous combustion. The captain writes that " they broke out in a solid body of fire. He im mediately got the hatches battened down, and every place stopped up by which air could enter, in order if possible, to smother the burning. On the 6th he opened the hatches, but the heat and sulphureous smell prevented the possibility of going below. He then closed them up again, stopped up the scuppers, and through holes bored in the deck, poured, from the head pump, and with buckets, so much water upon the coals, that by nextday there was five-and-a-half feet wa ter in the hold, and the coals, as Captain Campbell writes, " well cooled down." The same evening he commenced dis charging the heated coals and cinders, and threw overboard about 250 tons before he could consider the ship safe. He had been running for Demerara the two days preceding, hav ing had his boats in tow from the first commencement of the fire. He now bore away again for Bombay. But the mis fortunes of the voyage did not end here. On the 4th of July, in very heavy weather, the ship sprung her mainmast, and while they were getting it secured, the boatswain, carpenter, and three of the crew, declared they would not work unless the captain would run the ship for some port in Brazil. Cap tain Campbell called them to his cabin, and did his utmost to persuade them to return to their work. He also gave them till the afternoon of the same day to consider what he had said to them ; but finding then that they were still refractory, and refused to , work, he immediately put them in irons, and kept them in confinement during the remainder of the voyage. One of the crew was sick, besides the five who were refrac tory. To the captain, therefore, and the remainder of the crew, who, under God, with great labour and perseverence, and in much exhaustion, carried the ship safely to Bombay, through such imminent perils, great praise is justly due, Notwithstanding all these misfortunes, the Amazon made the voyage in exactly four months.—Shipping Gazette. COAST- I UNITED PO WISE. ,STATES. REIGN. I TOTAL , RENOVATION OP THE ATMOSPHERE PROM vitazivaia SOURCES The total superricies of the globe is usually estimated a about 200,000,000 British square miles, and the natural di vision of this surface is into earth and water ; about seven tenths of the whole being occupied by the ocean, and the re maining three-tenths consisting of land ; Or 140,000,000 square miles of water. 60,000,000 ditto, of land. Total 200,000,000 From chemical analysis, sea-water is found to be composed of the following ingredients :—Sea-water may be regarded as one of the saline mineral waters. Its taste is disagreeably bitter and saline, and its fixed constituents amount to a little more than three per cent. Its specific gravity varies from 1.0269 to 1.0285; and it freezes at about 28.5 deg. F. Ac- cording to the analysis of Dr. from the Frith of Forth contain Water 9 696.91 Common salt 220.01 Sulph. soda Mur. magnesia 42.08 Mur. lime If we consider that every eight pints in nine are composed o oxygen, in water, and only one of hydrogen, we shall be struck with the enormous quantity of that fluid in our globe, for as stated above 140,000,000 of square miles, is the esti mated quantity of superficies of water, and every 9 lbs. by weight contain 8 lbs. of oxygen. Again, if we take into consideration the atmospheric air, we shall find it also contains a large quantity of oxygen, amounting to 21 pints in every 100. The other ingredients being nitrogen about 79, and a slight proportion of carbonic acid—about 0.049. The atmosphere is supposed to extend to an altitude of about 40 miles. Its pressure is calculated at about 15 lbs. upon every square inch of surface — If the surface of a man's body be computed at 14 feet square, the weight which he sustains will be upwards of 13 tons. 14 sq. ft. >4 144 in. =-- 1 sq. ft. >C 15 lbs. = 13 tons 10 cwt. Water is taken as the standard for computing the specific gravity of solids. One cubic inch, at 62 degs. F and 30 in. bar., weighs 252.458 grs. Atmospheric air is generally used as the standard for gases. 100 cubic inches, at 60 degs. F, bar. 30, weigh 31.0117 grains, being 815 times lighter than water. Murray, 10,000 pints of water The proportions of silex and alumina are specified above ; thus we see that granite, on which all the superficial strata are superimposed, contains a large proportion of oxygen. - All the earthy carbonates contain a large proportion of oxygen, as the carbonates of lime, magnesia, barytes, stron tites, &c. Carbonate of lime 28.5 magnesia 20.7 baryta . strontia The carbonic acid which exists in the atmosphere is composed of,—carbon, 6.12 ; oxygen, 16. The greatest source of carbonaceous matter will be found among the coal formations and plunibago. According to Thompson, the different kinds of coal contain only a very slight proportion of oxygen, from about 5 to 13 per cent. Plumbago is nearly pure carbon, with a slight trace of iron— about 4 or 5 per cent. of iron. There are several other sources from whence carbon and its acid may be obtained ; but these statements are amply sufficient to point out the great preponderance of oxygen over carbonic acid. It bas been supposed that from the numerous animals continually abstracting hydrogen from the atmosphere, as well as the human race, and the combustion which is con tinually going on in our manufactories and domiciles, that a . period might arrive when our atmosphere would become so contaminated that it would no longer be capable of supporting animal existence. Before entering on this interesting subject, let us first consider this simple fact, viz., that the weight and constituent parts of our globe are the same now as they have always been : all may be changed, but nothing new added. By combustion either of carbon, sulphur, or any other substance, the ele ments remain the same, and of the same weight, as before combustion. The same remarks are applicable to the re spiratory functions. Every animal during respiration renders incapable for supporting lite a quantity of atmospheric air. We have now before us some of the leading circumstances connected with the vitiation of the air. Let us now apply this subject; and, in the first place, I shall endeavour to prove that this vitiation, instead of being injurious, is absolutely requisite for the maintenance of the various living beings, both animal and vegetable, on the face of our globe. I admit that apparently this vitiation proves injurious to animal existence ' • but when we search more fully into this subject, we shall find that it is apparent not real. In our closets we have often an opportunity of indulging in the calculation of the damage done by our increasing po pulation, and drawing conclusions from thence, without duly weighing what is also going on around us in the country ; and we often also conclude respecting the density of our own population, and the sources of renovation peculiar to our own climate, without duly weighing that in all our calcu lation we must include the whole atmosphere and not a part. As long as the various laws exist of diffusion—the currents of air, rain, wind, and other disturbing causes--it is obvious that if one portion of this mighty mass become permanently deteriorated, so must all the rest, or what is the same thing, every portion of it must from these laws be equable in com mixture. Bat if this holds good respecting deterioration, so will it as respects renovation ; therefore it may be possible that the one may counteract the other, and, as I set out with the re mark, these local variations may be of inestimable value to other regions of the globe. That local deterioration does take place in some instances, which are not compensated for in time to renovate the injury done, is true ; such used to be the fe nn y mars h es o f Lin colnshire, and such is the case in numerous other instances; but these blemishes are of so trivial a nature compared with the whole surface of the globe as not to merit attention. In all calculations we ought to look at the results, and not upon the minute changes which are going on. For instance, the germination of seeds is only a trivial portion connected with the great change of germination to maturity. In ger mination carbonic acid is generated—the same in fermenta tion ; but the compensation derived from vegetation soon achieves what had been deteriorated. It is now an admitted fact that healthy vegetables give out oxygen during sunshine and carbonic acid during night. The counterbalancing effect of the quantity of oxygen dur ing the day has been called in question by several very intel ligent physiologists, and maictained with equal ardour by others. This question has been mooted by both sides, and the ap peal to facts has been equally vigorous —the one side asserting that the animal kingdom always deteriorate, and deny that the vegetables ameliorate the constitution of the atmosphere ; the others admit the vitiation from the animal kingdom, but at the same time uphold the doctrine that the vegetables renew what had thus been deteriorated. But neither of these antagonists have taken the field, I think, with correct data ; they appeal to partial operations going on, instead of consi dering the results. It is not at this time or that time vegetables are doing so and so, and at other times the reverse, but we ought to look at the results which present themselves • and I think if they would do so a termination would soon be made of this long contested point. Though an acorn may deteriorate the air, as I said before, during its germination, what is this com pared with the results of matured growth ? The composition upon most excellent authority is this— . Oak, Beech. Carbon .. Oxygen .. Hydrogen 52.53 41,78 5.69 51.45 42.73 5.82 A person not conversant with chemistry would at once say, why it is evident here is an immense consumption of oxygen, and consequently a great deterioration of the atmosphere. I started with the information that water contains 8 lbs. in 9 of oxygen gas. and that 7-10ths of the surface of the globe was composed of water—here, then, we have a sufficient sup ply for all our wants—for the water of the ocean is computed to extend as far beneath its surface as the highest hills do above itS surface. In the calculation above we have.... Oxygen 41.78 Hydrogen 5.69 47.47 Now water is composed of 8 oxygen X 5 proportion 40.0 1 hydrogen >I 5 .. 5. =45.00 leaving only 2.47 excess of what water presents by chemical decomposition in the usual way, leaving a stock of deoxi dised carbon of more than 50 per cent. Now as vegetables, by experiment, cannot absorb pure carbon, but must receive it into their systems in the form of carbonic acid, consequently, according to the data esta blished above, the whole quantity of carbon must have parted with its oxygen to the atmosphere. The equivalent number of carbon is 6.12, and of carbonic acid 6.12 and 16 oxygen=- - 22.12, so that it may be readily com puted how much oxygen the oak and beech give off to the at mosphere. COnsidering these results, and the innumerable quantity of vegetables performing similar offices, it will be readily ad mitted that, instead of animal deterioration being injurious, it will be found absolutely requisite for the maintenance of vegetable existence, for as I stated before, we must take into consideration the whole surface of the globe, and not an isolated portion ; to do otherwise would be to confine nature in the laboratory of the chemist. We must next consider the manner or function by which oxygen is given off during the day and absorbed during the night, forming carbonic acid, and thus, as stated by many, renovating during sunshine, but deteriorating during dark- A.,1730• Whether we consider the carbonic acid as entering by ab. sorption through the leaves or by the . roots it is o b v i ous , i t would require to be circulated and vitalized prior to its adap tation to the necessities of the plant. That light has an im portant interference in this matter, no one seems to doubt ; neither is it disputed that oxygen is given off by plants during sunshine. But it does not follow that all the ca r b on of the carbonic acid thus liberated should immediately be ap propriated to the exigencies of the vegetable structure, it is more consonant with vital phenomena that it should still continue to circulate with the appropriate juices of the vege table, and be rendered thereby capable of appropriation as the vegetable required, and combining with its necessary quantum of aqueous pabulum. Now if we admitthis to be the case, it is obvious that the decompositionof the carbonic acid being suspended from the withdrawal of sunshine or light, that an opposite effect would be pro duced, and that it would not be improbable that the super fluous carbon thus eliminated, but not appropriated, should, when the stimulus is removed again, absorb oxygen, and thus be thrown off during the night. Nay, it is admitted, that if Starch d , Carbon .. Oxygen .. Hydrogen Carbon Oxygen . . H ydrogen Nitrogen 100.000 44.200 49.015 100.0.00 100.00 All these instances, prove that water and carbon are the principal constituents of vegetables. I am convinced when a thorough investigation of the sub ject I have undertaken to prove in part, shall take place, that we shall no longer wonder how the large quantities of carbon, thrown into the atmosphere, become disposed of, but almost be surprised'that these facts have not led others to the same conclusions as here advanced. Another source of renovation of the air and waters . of the ocean, arises from the enormous quantities of carbon conti nually deposited in the form of carbonate of lime by the corals in warm seas ; but as my present object is to prove that the deterioration of the air by animal existence is essen tial to the healthy growth of vegetables, I shall not take into consideration the quantities of carbon which become fixed by animals themselves S.

The commonly received average is 30 years to a generation and 20 years to a reign ; according to which it appears that the cares or luxuries, or both, of a crown, occasion a sacri fice to the wearer of it of one year of life, as compared with ordinary mortals.

DOCTRINE OF ROYAL SUCCESSION (From Blackstone.—Book 1, chap. 3 and 4.) The great fundamental maxim upon which the jus corona, or right of succession to the throne of these kingdoms de pends, I take to be this ; " that the crown, is, by common, hereditary ; and this, in a manner peculiar to itself : but that the right of inheritance may, f rom t i me to time, be changed or limited by act of parliament, under which limita tions the crown still continues hereditary, As to the particular mode of inheritance, it in general cor responds with the feudal descents chalked out by the com mon law in the succession to landed estates ; yet with one or two essential exceptions, like estates, the crown will des cend lineally to the issue of the reigning monarch, as it did from King John to Richard 11., through a regular pedigree of six lineal generations, as in common descents the prefer ence of male to female, and the right of primogeniture among the males, are strictly adhered to. Thus Edward V. suc ceeded to the crown in preference to Richard, his younger brother, and Elizabeth, his elder sister. Like lands or tene ments, the crown, on failure of the male line, descends to the issue of female, according to the ancient British custom re marked by Tacitus—solent fiaminarum ductu bellare, et sexum in imperils non discernere. Thus Mary I. succeeded to Edward VI. And the line of Margaret, Queen of Scots, the daughter of Henry VII., succeeded on the failure of the line of Henry VIII., his son. But, among the fe m ales, the crown descended by right of primogeniture to the eldest daughter only and her issue ; and not, as in common inhe ritance to all the daughters at once ; the evident neces sity of a sole succession to the throne having occasioned the royal law of descent to depart from the common law in this respect ; and, therefore, Queen Mary, on the death of her brother, succeeded to the Crown alone, and not in partner ship with her sister Elizabeth. Again, the doctrine of re presentation prevails in the descent of the Crown as it does in other inheritances ; whereby the lineal descendants of any person deceased stand in the same place as their ancestor, if living, would have done. Thus, Richard 11. succeeded the grandfather, Edward HI., in right of his father, the Black Prince, to the exclusion of all his uncles, his grandfather's younger children. Lastly, on the failure of lineal descend ants, the Crown goes to the next collateral relations of the late King, provided they are lineally descended from the blood royal—that is, from that royal stock which originally acquired the Crown. Thus, Henry I. succeeded to Wil liam ll. ' John to Richard 1., and James to Elizabeth, being all derived from the Conqueror, who was then the only regal stock. But herein there is no objection, as in the case of common descents, to the succession of a brother, an uncle, or other collateral relation of the half blood—that is, where the relationship proceeds, nol from the same couple of ances tors (which constitutes a kinsman of the whole blood), but from a single ancestor only ; as when two persons are derived from the same father and not from the same mother, or vice versa; provided only that the one ancestor from whom both are descended be that from whose veins the blood royal is communicated to each. Thus Mary I. inherited to Edward VI., and Elizabeth inherited to Mary ; all children of the same father, Henry VIII., but all by different mothers. RIGIITS AND PRIVILEGES OF THE PRINCESS ROYAL. (From the same—Can. 4.) The Prince of Wale s , or h e i r -apparent to the crown, and also his royal consort, and the princess royal, or eldest daughter of the king, are likewise peculiarly regarded by the laws ; for, by the statute 25th Edw. 111., to compass or conspire the death of the former, or to violate the chastity of either of the latter, are as muc h hi g h treason as t o consp i re the death of the king, or violate the chastity of the queen. And this upon the same reason as was before given —because the Prince of Wales is next i n success i on t o th e crown , an d to violate his wife might taint the blood royal with bastardy ; and the eldest daughter of the king is also alone inheritable to the crown on the failure of issue male, and therefore more respected by the laws than anv of her younger sisters ; inso much, that upon this, united with other (feudal) principles, where our military tenures were in force, the king might levy an aid for marrying his eldest daughter, and her only. A GOOD HINT.—At this particular season of the year, colds are generally prevalent, which, in a majority of cases, owe their origin to stopping in the street, when warm with walking, and continuing to c onverse w ith so me kind friend on the news or scandal of the day ; until a chill supersedes the warmth, and a cold is taken or increased. We remember a gentleman, so far advanced in years as to have experienced the ill effects of flag pavement, or other highway and by-way conversation who, uniformly when stopped to listen to some interesting intelligence, i nstantly asked " w hi c h way are you going ? for I will go your way, or you may take mine, but I would not stand still in the street to talk to a king." Those who value health, do likewise.--Oxford Herald. METALLIC INK.—The use of steel pens has been the cause of ink manufacturers producing a description of ink suitable for them, as the corrosive nature of iron or steel totally des troys the properties of ink fit for quill-pens. One of the best preparations brought before th e publ i c, i s th e i n k manufac tured by Mr. Tarking, whose advertisement appears else where. The fluid runs readily, and does not injure the pen ; it is also indelible. Mary Queen of Scots, Killey, from Paraiba, at this port ; sailed 25th October.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARRET, Nov. 26. The appearance of frost has a little affected the market, and we think Is to 25 per cwt. advance in price of the finer descriptions of Butter is to be obtained. Pickled Butter is better,—the decline in the Brazillian markets noted in one of our late reports being local, (confined crdy to Maranham)—holders have become more confident, and demand 91s per cwt. for seconds. Beef, Pork, and Bacon. continue to wear a downward aspect. LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 25. There was a very poor show of stock to-day, decidedly less than there was last week, small as that was. The demand being fully equal to the supply, the best beef and mutton we r e eac h aga i n id per lb dearer, and interior nearly as much. Every thing was sold up. Best beef, 6d to bid; middling and inferior, Id to 6d. Best mutton, Ejd to jid ; ewes and inferior, sid to bid per lb sinking the offal. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, NOVEMBER 24. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6• Son.) Since Tuesday last, the arrivals of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland have been to a fair extent, but from the foreign ports and coastways, the imports of. Grain and Flour have been quite trivial, and during the past week there has been a pretty fair demand for Wheat and Flour at fully our last quotations. For Oats and Oat meal at a small advance, and for all other articles in the corn trade to a very moderate extent, with little or no variation in prices. The weather has been rather more favourable during the last four or rive days for the agricultural operations, but we fear little progress has been made in Wheat sowing, the land being still very wet.
