Does any portion of their policy raise them for a moment in The estimation of the masses, the notion of having been actuated by any thing beyond the harsh and dry dicta of political expediency, or economy, is re pudiated as a taint; and the offered hand of grati tude is indignantly rejected. •The Parliamentary proceedings of the past week afford a striking instance of this repulsive inclina tion. A. few days ago, the Ministry had urged, through the House of Commons, a measure which was certainly calculated to advance its authors in the affections of a portion, at least, of the working classes. They had effected, by a political sleight of hand, what other statesmen, backed by the voice of aggregate meetings and the funds of confederated free traders might have clamoured for in vain. They had given to the people something like an as sured hope of that social millenium, which was result of a c extended commerce. For this, , they were threatened with political martyr( l - good man suffering m ; and s a spectacle which ever excites the yarm sympathy of a generous British people. Al ready Manchester was moving it , enraptured popu lation to do honour to the person of Sir Robert Peel, by the erection of his statue in one of their proposed new parks; and had the Ministry, en Masse, made a tour last week through the manufac turing districts, their progress would have been one !ontin tied ovation An opportunity presented itself, however, to Sir Robert and his colleagues, for getting rid of the temporary popitarity with which they had been in- The Factory Bill was brought before the Half a million of the working portion of sked of Parliament vested our manufacturing pot the boon of a diminution male and female youth t of the hours of labour, for etween the ages of 13 and l 8 years The voice of five- xths of the nation. seconded their prayer, and said, " your long hours of toil are destroying the health, strength, and the morals of the parents and mothers of a future gene hmen.

I believe hear.) This I say, that all the priucip!cs in which you in terfere to prohibit contracts of a nature which you believe to be prejudicial to the public morality, justify me in en deavouring to prevent contracts like those which are now the subject of consideration." . . The.;e are the arguments of no sickly sentimenta list, but of a man brought up at the feet of Malthus, and deeply read in the political economists; and they are convincing because they are true. In a similar light the question was viewed, and similar opinions expressed with almost equal ability by the Whig leader, Lord John Russell. The Con servative ministry clung by the side of the Cob dens, the Brights, the Humes, and the Wards of the house, bolstering up the cause of capital against humanity, setting the dogmas of abstract philoso phy in the scale against the dictates of feeling and justice to our toiling fellow-beings, whilst their wiser opponents adopted and ably maintained the more widely popular aspect of the question at issue, winning golden opinions and blessings, from no un influential section of the community. What, it may be remarked, is the lesson which our remarks are intended to convey? It is this : We wish to make it palpable to the Conservative members of the House that, by the course which they are pursuing, they are advancing the very con summation of what they appear most to dread in the establishing in power of the Whig party. They are getting rid, with Sir Robert Peel., of the respect of the British people. They are assisting him to plunge their party into unpopularity, which years of re pentance will not wipe away. They are enabling the Whigs to re-assume their ancient boast that they are the party of the people. Place them once in this position, and in power; and a long, long period of misgovernment, of wild theorising, of desperate ex perimenting upon our government and our laws, is in store for this deluded and betrayed nation. Play on for a while longer the game of the astute and wily premier, and Great Britain will no longer be a land to which it will be a boast and a pride to belong, Our readers, such at least of them as were pre sent, will doubtless remember the pleasure with which they witnessed last year the proceedings of the Yearly Meeting of the Liverpool Auxiliary Branch of the Foreign Aid Society, at which M. D'Aubigne, the eminent historian of the Reforms- ion, and other distinguished foreigners were pre sent. The meeting for the present year is announced to be held in the Royal Amphitheatre, on the 9th June, this day fortnight ; and is not expected to be at all behind its predecessor in interest and importance. Amongst the speakers will be, we understand, the Rev. Canon M`Neile, with several of the leading clergy of the town ; and we shall again have the opportunity of hearing the operations of the society detailed, and its importance and value shown by a deputation of distinguished Protestant foreigners, who will he able to bring to the meeting the evidence of personal observation. At the present crisis this association assumes a peculiar interest. With Popery making prodigious strides towards supremacy in our own land, we see throughout Continental Europe the light breaking in, and community after community, sickened of the dark jugglery of Rome, throwing away their chains, and coming to the pure fountain of truth for support. Wherever Popery is known, it is becom ing odious and intolerab!e; and an infinite amount of good is to be achieved by holding up before the observation of the British public, the operations in other lands of societies such as this, and proving to misguided minions of our fellow countrymen the p; true character of that dire apostacy which here, in the infancy of its strength, bears itself with lamhlike humility, although, wh n in its plenitude of power, it can play the devouring lion. We trust that we need not appeal to the liberality of the Protestants of Liverpool in behalf of a society engaged, like the Foreign Aid Society, in emancipating the minds of our Continental brethren from the thrall of this subtle and tyrannical power. Let our fellow-towns- )Iv-townswomen attend the rnee and the result we do not fear The Manchester Guardian is silent under the proof which we gave him that the feeling of our Canadian population is not one of approval of the Free Trade measures of her Majesty's Administra tion. He merely echoed, perhaps, another Free Trade authority, the London Times, who paraded the same resolutions of the Montreal meeting as conclusive with respect to the opinions of the ag gregate people of the two provinces; and seeing a document so convenient for his purpose, neglected to search for any of an opposite character. The following letter from the partner of an eminent r I Canadian firm, enclosing an extract from the Mont- real Herald, might serve to convince the Guardian of the real value of his pet resolutions, if the arguments drawn from them even stood uncontradicted by other and better authority " Montreal, 27th April, 1846. " A Free Trade Association has been got up here by a parcel of hot-headed theorists (chiefly young men of no experience), who repudiate protection as an injury and destruction to all sound principles on which commerce should be based. The avowed object of the leaders, as first announced, was to secure to Montreal all the western trade. Discussion bas. however, shown even them the absurdity of this; but being committed, they go on from pure admiration of the principle! " The enclosed (cut from the Montreal Herald) shows how little prospect there is of our retaining even the trade of Canada West, and far less of the Western States, it 'a fl Rngland to make up Canad , for the ur has no protection in great charges and long r voyage of the St. Law- navigation " The Montreal Herald assumes that the freight from Lake Ontario to Liverpool will be brought down to 4s. It is nc w 6s. 9d. It also assumes the freight from Nev. York to Liverpool to be Is. 9J., whereas we have just heard of flour being conveyed from New York to Liver pool at Is. and ls. 3d " So tha , if there is a protection of less than 45., the e must go by New York, and all this vast employ ment be wrenched from British subjects, by the adoption of free trade in England, to bane. over to the Americans. " The Montreal Herald is anxious to think well of free trade, and to support Sir Robert Peel as of old, but you see the halting way it does this." We may mention another fact or two which have come to our knowledge, and which may not be uninteresting to the Guardian's readers. A certain Canadian firm is in the habit of shipping annually to those colonies British manufactures to the amount of £250,000. During the first four and a-half months of this year, however, it has diminished its purchases in this country by £40,000 as compared with those of a corresponding period last year. This amount, however, is not a twentieth of what the Canadas take from us ; and if the feeling of alarm which has induced this firm thus to contract its shipments be general, it will he a fair calculation to make that half a million sterling will he lost this year to the manufacturers of Great Britain as the re ;ult of that very feeling whose existence the Guar dian denies. He is himself on the spot to ascertain whether the above statement is correct or not; and if he can confute it, on authority, we shall give a candid confession of our error. The opinions of parties who profess to he in the secret, are still widely apart with respect to the probable fate of the Corn and Customs Bill in the House of Lords. A few days ago the organs of the free traders were anything but sanguine. .There were sorrowful predictions of a hitch in the future progress of the measure, which suggested, doubtless, to many an honourable member, the disagreeable circumstance of having to face his insulted con stituents. The Times of yesterday, however, sets all right. The measure is safe, thanks, we under stand, to Lord John Russell, who is reported to have stated that, when he wrote his celebrated letter, announcing his conversion to the League, he considered that he had his party in his pocket, and has just intimated to each, that he expects they will consider themselves as committed with him. We give the note of triumph of the Times It is cruel to destroy the last lingering hopes of the des perate, and to consummate the misfortunes of the mise rable, but at times "one must be cruel only to he kind," and even to the victims themselves a certain evil is bet ter than " hope long deferred, which maketh the heart sick." It is, therefore, rather in a spirit of humanity than with a hostile exultation that we announce to the Protec tionist party the final doom of the Corn-laws in the Ilouse of Lords. The whispered expectations of a division in the Whig camp have all proved groundless. Lord Stanley, Lord John Russell, Lord Palmerston, and Lord George Bentinck will not unite in discordant harmony for the sal vation of their country. The Whig peers have no inten tion to abandon their consistency, nor to surrender all claim to the confidence of the nation by splitting them. selves into sections for the mere purpose of mutilating the bill. The rumours to this effect are wholly without foun dation, and the Whig party have taken the surest means to prove that they are so. On Saturday there was a meeting at Lansdowne-house, at which not less than GO Whig peers were present, including Lord Melbourne and Lord Fitzwilliam. The leading members of the party in the House of Commons attended also. The result was most satisfactory. There were not wanting some who, as we with re country—unsettling in . lustry and paralysing commerce?

It was not intended for him, and it will not be permitted to be enjoyed by him facturing Whilst Conservatism is thus throwing away from it popular sympathy, giving increased stringency to an already intolerable poor-law, and perpetuating the long hours of toil inflicted upon the young and helpless children of our working po pulation, mark the different conduct of its oppo nents, the party of which Lord John Russell is the leader!

The Whig leaders, on the other hand, assert boldly that there is a point beyond which we cannot be guided by the cold abstractions ;cal philosophy—that a P. B.

LIVERPOOL AUXILIARY BIBLE SOCIETY The annual meeting of the subscribers and friends to the above society was held last evening at the Concert hall, Lord Nelson-street. The attendance was not so numerous as on former occasions. The Rev. Dr. Byrth occupied the chair, and on the platform were the following clergymen and other gentlemen :-The Rev. Mr. Davies, the Rev. Mr. Hampton, the Rev. Dr. Raffl.s, the Rev. J. Kelly. the Rev. J. B. Owen, incumbent of St. Mary's, Bilston, &c. After prayer had been offered up and several passages of scripture read, It is unnecessary to enlarge upon the importance of this decision. Without it, the rorn Bill might have b-en, not indeed rejected, but so mutilated as to have insured its rejection by the House of Commons ; with the firm sup port of the Whig peers it may be considered beyond the reach of danger. _ _ The et-tat - am - mg said that his observations would be few, as the secretary and other gentlemen would bring forward statements and details in which, no doubt, they would all be interested. It was impossible. for any one who had for a long time been connected wish the British and Foreign able Society, not to feel deeply interested every time he was present at one of those meetings. It was a saciety having in view one of the noblest of objects, and hal had to encounter some of the most severe struggles, and that it had struggled on, and still prospered was no small proof that it continued to receive the divine blessing. He believed, as did all its promoters, that when its objects shall have been carried out, the na tions of the world would he provided with the word of God, each man reading in his own tongue in which he was born, that the world should yield a spiritual increase, and that all the people should praise Him who had thus blessed them. It must appear a wonderful thing to every refl , cting mind, that an object such as that sought be to obtained by means of the British and Foreign Bible Society, was so long in engaging the attention of members of the Christian church ; but in that respect it seemed to be in the same condition with other societies, whose objects were of a similar nature. The age in which they lived had given birth to most of them. Tbis had been called by some the age of great societies ; while it had been called by others the age of little books. It. might at least be desig nated the age of mechanical 'invention, as machinery bad Of rathe - r another complexion is the following, which we quote from the Morning Herald We learn, with grett satisfaction, that the decision at the meeting of Whig peers, at Lansdowne House, on Sa turday, to support Sir R)bert Peel's corn bill, was not unanimous ; but that Lord Melbourne, who will, we un derstand, be supported by Lord Beauvale, Lord Ponsonby, and at least nine or ten other Whig peers, protested against Lord John Russell's insolent attempt to dictate to the party, and declared his (Lord Melbourne's) deter mination to vote against the second reading. If Lord Melbourne take the course which, from all that we can learn, we believe he will take,—and if he shall be sup ported by as many of the Whig party as we trust will sup port him, the drfeat of " the execrable bill " is certain. In any case the popular effect of the late Prime Minister's single vote against the odious measure mug outweigh the votes of any dozen of hungry place-hunting Whigs or pauver Tory veers, The Morning Chronicle says that seventy Whig peers attended the meeting, and that they came to a resolution, "to give the bill their hearty support, and to offer a decided opposition to any amendment whatsoever." Perhaps, after perusing these versions of the story, our readers will conclude, with ourselves, that the safest plan will be to wait the issue itself. With the glaring inconsistencies of modern statesmen before us, we should be sorry to express an opinion either way. been brought to operate on those operations connected with the purposes of social life; and it might be called likewise the age of Christian associations. (Hear.) The age of societies for promoting the best interests of man. by bringing him into connection with the means which enabled him to kno a God, and to act upon the principles laid down in His holy word. And while the society whose objects they were met to promote, was contemporaneous in its origin with many other societies, he believed the union of them allcalculated to effect that which the Lord commanded, and that the. Christian public would be as it had been to the present day, willing to lend assistance to them aIL (Herr, hear.) There was, perhaps, one feature in the British and Foreign Bible Society, on which he might dwell for a moment. It seemed to be the only society, so far as present experience had shown, in which it was possible for Christians of all denominations to unite, and to which they could, without distinction of sect, give their cordial support. (Hear. hear.) It compromised no man's privileges—it judged no man's faith—it offended no roan's prepossessions —its scone was ample enough to engage every man's affections. We are sorry to have to point out, in our Friday's contemporary, the following piece of—to say the least of it—exceeding bad taste, which appears in one of the leading columns of his last publication. Speaking of the prospects of the ministerial mea sures in the House of Lords, the Mercury remarks : " It is said, more difficulty bas been found in ascertain ing how the bishops will vote than either party anticipated. The sudden illness of the Archbishop of York or of Can terbury would soon solve these doubts. Whv can't Charles James London take the gout, or Edward Durham assume a quinsey if he have it not ? ' In promotion as love— but to ne resolved Nothing would so soon enable the Lords Spiritual to dis cover that the passing of the corn bill, without delay, was a religious question, as a vacant see, or the prospect of being called to a more extensive sphere rf usefulness." and he could regard its triumph without being in the least degree affected by the apprehension that its victory was inconsistent with any object he ought himself to en tertain. (Hear.) He spoke of Caristian men—it was with regard to them, and for them alone, he ventured to say that the British and Foreign Bible Society, properly con templated, possessed those principles in which they might all unite. There might be cordial harmony amongst parties, as each individual wbo united with them, and who was part of the great machinery, might reserve his own private opinion, being neither called on to defend them against assault, nor required to assail the opinion of This may be what the Mercury considers smart writing. There is a numerous class of people who are content to be witty at the expense of decorum, and to sneer at things which rightly constituted minds hold too sacred for such flippant treatment. The character of the episcopal office we should have imagined was one of these things, at least in the eyes of a churchman, as the editor of the Mercury occasionally reminds us that he is. Such a para graph as this of the Mercury might have been ex cused as coming from the lips of some rabid dis senter or socialist, to draw down the applause of a mob of infidels ; but it is scarcely suited to the co lumns of a newspaper, which professe4 to circulate amongst families of every creed, and which, on that ground alone, taking no higher moral or religious ground, ought not to outrage the feelings of any class of its readers. We trust the editor of the Mercury will be able to assure us that the article is the work of a volunteer, and that its insulting cha racter has escaped his observation. It certainly does not bear the ordinary impress of his writing. his neighbour. (Hear, hear.) Surely that must be re garded as a great distinction. He believed philosonhers would think so, and he knew a large portion of the Chris- tian community not only thought so, but acted upon the principle, as they had come forward without distinction to take a part in the objects sought to be attained by the society. lie hoped they would excuse him for occupying their attention on a matter which by some might be deemed common-place, but he did hope that there, as well as el-ewhere. the success of the British and Foreign Bible Society would, as it well deserved, be on the in crease. If other societies came forward and occupied fields in which they laboured, they could make use of the British and Foreign Bible Society to give their labours effect, and command success, and they stood in the posi tion of being ready to assist them _without distinction. He believed that in so rest on their labours, not only because the - object was me which he approved, but because that blessing would be further extended in answer to the prayersand thanksgivings of thoQe who would avail themselves of their efforts. He concluded by calling on the secretary to read the report. The Rev. Mr. DAVIES then read the following report : Mr. Peel, eldest son of Sir Robert Peel, does not return to Madrid to resume his post as attache to the British Legation. He is appointed Secretary of Legation under his Excellency Mr. D. R. Monier in Switzerland.

Hough ton and Harvey, to prefer a complaint against police officer Kinnear, (61,) for having assaulted him. The man stated, that on Friday night he was standing at the corner of Lord-street, between seven and eight in the evening, talking to a friend, when the officer came up, and without any previous intimation, struck him on the side with his stick, at the same time calling him a d--d Irish rascal, and adding that if they did not go he would break some of their legs. The complainaint was about to calla witness to prove his statement, when Mr. Dowling, addressing the magistrates, said—" This man is one of the most notorious scoundrels in Liverpool, and so is his friend." Mr. Houghton—lf he is a scoundrel he must have justice. Mr. Dowling said, he had mentioned the circumstance in consequence of the magistrates having asked who the complainant was. The complainant then stated that he was employed to solicit orders for a person who was a cigar dealer. A witness, on being called corroborated the statement made by complainant, The officer stated that the complainant was one of a set of men called "duffers." well known to the police. He was standing (as had been stated) with his friend, and they were ordered cff to prevent any interruption to the foot walk, but refused to go, at the same time giving a great deal of abuse. He then pushed them, but did not strike at. all. The statement was corroborated by Police-officer 360. Mr. Dowling said, that between the Town-hall and Bold• street, there were sometimes forty of those fellows occupying the footwalk, and requesting parties to buy ci gars, handkerchiefs, &c, and other things which were not at all what they were represented to be ; their object was to catch parties whom they suspected to be flats, and take them in. Mr. Harvey—l am sorry to bear you say they only take in the flats, because they have attacked me as well as others. (Laughter.) Mr. Dowling—They found you not so flat as they expected. (Renewed laughter.) The magistrates cautioned the parties that they were not to stand upon the footwalk to the interruptiem of the passengers, and immediately dismissed the case. the necessity of looking (especially in a large ,e .port town like this) to the interests of one class especially, and that was the sailors. From the report he was glad to perceive that great attention had been paid to that class of men, and he knew there had been instances of divine success arising out of the distribution of the Holy Scriptures to those individuals. He mentioned one or two cases which had come within his own experience, where the Bible that had been given to the seaman bad saved him from the eternal ruin which must other• wise have awaited him. He called their attention to the necessity of using their efforts to obtain an amalgama tion of the societies' funds, and stated a circumstance wherein a poor woman belonging to one of the southern lighthouses had appropriated a sovereign to the purposes of the society, which had been left by a lady, although she had been advised by her friends to retain a portion of it for herself. The lady having heard of the circumstance, offered her a situation in her establishment. This the poor woman respectfully declined, fearing it might interfere with her religious duties. This so pleased the lady that she sent her a check for £2O, and her daughter also inclosed one for £5. The lady to whom he had alluded, was no other than the Duchess of Kent, and her daughter, the present Queen of England. He con cluded with an anecdote of a gentleman, who had been in tl e habit of giving £lO annually to the Bible Society for several years, and on one occasion he only gave £3, re serving the £7 to himself. Th. person was shortly afterwards robbed of the £7, and he acknowledged himself to have been righteously dealt with on account of his hav ing kept back tle £7. when his means would have allowed him to have given £lO. He urged upon the meeting to come forward liberally in aid of a society which had ac complished. and was now accomplishing, such an amount of good, by the dissemination of the Holy Scriptures to all, without any distinction whatever. The Rev. J. B. OWEN, one of the deputation, in se conding the resolution. remarked upon the fact that a portion of the room was not adequately filled, and ex pressed his fear that Bible meetings of late had been si milarly neglected. The reverend gentleman proceeded to canvass the objections of some who objected to the con stitution of this society, which he showed to have been the parent of all other societies for spreading Christianity, inasmuch, as by spreading abroad the scriptures, it gave to every man the only sure foundation of religious doctrines. He proceeded to offer several interesting facts, to show the usefulness of the society, and showed, amongst other things, that in the forty-one years during which it had existed, it had circulated six times as many copies of the Scriptures as had been done by all the nations of the world in 1800 years preceding. It had now produced transla tions into 1.)6 different languages. The society had this year circulated a million and a half of Bibles, principally at home. In Manchester, where their ordinary circula tion was about 10,000 per annum, and which had gradually risen to 20,000, the circulation in one month recently was twenty thousand: and in the six months ended 31st March, the extraordinary number of 60,680 had been circulated in that town. In France, their circu lation had risen last year to 130,000, in Holland and other countries they had an increase, the only decrease being in Belgium. The reverend speaker concluded a most effective speech, by detailing several interesting anecdotes, showing the beneficial effects of Bible reading, at the close of which he was loudly cheered. A collection was then made, after which the Rev. George Osborne moved the next resolution, congratu lating the society upon the increase of their funds, and the society's usefulness during the past year. Several other gentlemen afterwards addressed the meeting. THE BUILDERS' STRIKE This unfortunate disagreement between the employers in the building trade and the workmen is still unsettled. Yesterday a general meeting of the masters of all the dis tricts was held at Newton ; and we trust that affairs are now nearer a train for friendly adjustment than they have been hitherto. We have frequently observed that this unfortunate strike has been ill-timed ; but the mischief has not been confined to the builders themselves. It has had a most serious t ffect upon all the trades which are connected with them. Timber has fallen 2d. a foot, and in some cases more than that ; and many of the timber merchants are obliged to put their timber into yards, and be at the ex pense of loading, cartage, and porterage, instead of dis posing of it, as many of them are in the habit of doing, on the dock-quay, at the side of the ship. and so save Mt the abovementioned expenses. The lead and glass dealers are complaining bitterly of the stoppage, and some of the brickmakers declare that if the strike lasts much longer, they must cease making bricks in a shirt time, as the stocks are accumulating, and few are being used. The poor shopkeepers, particularly at Birkenhead, complain most bitterly, and not without reason. It is astonishing bow a stoppage in one branch of business soon begins to affect the whole community, and it is to be hoped that some arrangemen be s pee Hy mad e, so t hat work may be resumed . Nothing has been done at our magnifi cent assize courts for nearly two months; and yester day we counted, in our walk into the town, fifteen large piles of building in various stages of erection, all of which are at a stand. This state of things is most deplorable; and, however well-intentioned Mr. T. S. Duncombe may be in his attempts to raise the social condition of the working classes, it is clear that he and others have been the cause of much misfortune, and that he has assisted to raie a storm which we fear he will be unable either to direct or control. The master tradesmen from the towns of Liverpool, Birkenhead, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bolton, Preston, Oldham, Stockport, Sheffield, Blackburn, Wigan, Macclesfield, and other minor places. are forming a great defensive association, so as to act in unison, and form a chain of immediate communication, in case they are Again attacked in detail, as they have been on this occasion.

STEALING WEARING APPAREL.—Yesterday Joseph Cburton was committed for trial at the sessions on a charge of stealing two coats, and one or two other articles, from the stable at Mr. Wormald's, Tunnel Hotel, Edge hill. The prisoner had been allowed to remain about the premises. having stated that he was in distress, and having obtained the articles in question, he absconded. He was taken into custody at Prescot. ----- PRINCE ALBERT ' S VISIT. —The committee appointed for making suitable arrangements for the reception of Prince Albert, on his honouring Liverpool with his presence, are already e ng a ge d actively in their duties. It i s said that an intimation has been received. that the Prince will be the guest of the Earl of Derby, at Knowsley, tilting his stay in this neighbourhood. Should this not be the case, apartments in the 1 own-hall might be filled up in the best style for his Royal Highness's accommo dation. We believe that nearly one thousand pounds will be paid for the hire of plate on the occasion ; and we are happy to bear the committee are disposed to make every arrangement on the most magnificent scale.

This afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the Queen was safely de livered of a PRINCESS. In the room with her Majesty were his Royal Highness Prince Albert, Dr. Locock, and Mrs. Lilly, the monthly nurse ; and in the roorr•s adjoining were the other medical attendants, Sir James Clark ana Dr. Ferguson, and also her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Lady in Waiting on the Queen, and the Ministers and Officers of State, summoned on the occasion. The Privy Councillors present were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Duke of Buc clench, the Earl of Haddington, Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, Mr. Secretary Gladstone, the Earl of Liverpool, the Earl Delawarr, the Earl of Jersey, the Lord Chancellor, and the Duke of Wellington. LONDON CORN EXCUAN.IE .-YESTERDAY The supply of English Wheat from the near counties was moderatethis morning. Best qualities were taken at our last week's quotations, but much of the secondary could not be dis- posed of, excepti at a reduction of Is. per quarter . Foreign, eitherfree, bonded, or f. o. b. was extremely difficult to sell. The show of spring Corn has been trifling; Barley, Beans, and Peas sold slowly at late prices. We observe no alteration in the value of Oats. The millers generally agreed to reduce the top price of Flour 4s per sack. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.-YECTRRDAY Fresh from our grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts to-day were somewhat extensive, and of most excellent quality, owing to which, and the thin attendance of buyers, the beef trade was in a very dull state, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, the prices obtained on Monday last, and at which a clearance was not effected, The numbers of sheep were, compared with those exhibited for some time past, larger and of good quality. Prime old Downs were, however, rather scarce, and which sold at full prices. All other breeds were a mere drug, and, in some in stances, the rates had a downward tendency. The lamb trade ruled dull, at previous currencies. Calves and pigs, the supplies of which were moderate, ruled heavy at late rates.
