LONDON CORN MAILIZET.— (From Kingsford and Lay's
Circular).—The supply of wheat from Essex and Kent is
small, but some portion of last week's having been refused—
the condition being fully 3s. per qr. worse—the whole made a
good show. The offers made by millers were 6s. to Bs. below
the prices of this day week, which factors were not inclined to
accept, and the major part remained unsold. Business in
foreign almost nominal ; a few sales effected were at a decline
of 2s. Barley, 2s. to 3s. cheaper. Top price of Town-made
Flour is reduced to 70s. Country Marks, 3s. to 4s. per sack
lower, and the little business in barrels was at a decline of
about 2s,

LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA.
The Times' correspondent, writing from Sebastopol under
date of 4th January, says :
We have had a heavy snowstorm last night and this
morning. The fall has ceased, but the snow lies several inches
deep on the plateau. On the white surface the irregular col-
lections of huts have something the appearance of groups of
farm buildings, while the more distant tents, dingy in compa-
rison with the dazzling whiteness of the ground, might be
taken fox heaps of hay or manure, Qn 01 sides, at the dis-
tance of about three-quarterS of a mite, our horizon is
limited by a iiaZe a few shades grayer than the snow,
and semi-transparent, so that figures are dimly seen
walking within it, The wind howls drearily round
the huts, but the snow lends light to the foreground, and the
temperature is milder than it has been for the last few days
—far milder than it was on the 2nd, a piercing day of frost,
wind, and sleet. Fatigue parties, in their short fur-lined
coats, their heads protected by those black sealskin caps
the shape of which reminds one of pictures of -Russian travel-
ling, bring up firewood on their shoulders to the different
commissariat stores, and a considerable amount of snowballing
goes on among them in the intervals of their toil. Here and
r there carts move slowly through the deep snow, in which,
hard by my window, some Tartar dogs are now disporting
themsell'C, apparently quite id their element, The winter
piece is complete, and not unpicturesque. But it suggeSts a wish
that the whole, instead of part only, of our army had more
Substantial shelter than tents against the sharp wind, the drift-
ing snow, the bitter cold that will attend a return of frost, and
the chilly floods which a thaw must inevitably bring. Well pro-
ovided in most essential respects the soldiers certainly are well
clothed and well fed; but it seems strange ghat by this time they
should not all have been hutted. Huts are getting up, how-
ever, with great rapidity ; along the road to Balaklava, one
daily meets thousands of men bringing up the planks on their
