REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
Dullness has continued to be characteristic of the grain
trade. In wheat, notwithstanding the improved condition
of the produce, hut little has been doing, and the few I
transactions effected have mostly been concluded at a
decline of two shillings per quarter. Millers have, how-
ever, been very sparing in their operations, and have not
allowed transactions to exceed the limits of actual require-
ment& From the South of Russia and (ruin the United
States the shipmente have lately fallen off, but the total
supply Afloat to us from all quarters is still very large,
being one million seven hundred and fifty-four thousand
quarters against one million six hundred and thirty-seven
thousand quarters at this time last year. As there is still
a comparatively large slimly of home-grown produce
awaiting consumption, t 6 -general imprtesion is that
values will ultimately still further made. Barley has
been dull, and whilst the beet samples have about main-
tained late rates, other kinds have been saleable at one
ihilling reduction. Maize and white peas have declined
one shilling, and beans have been drooping. Oats have
been quieter, and Flour haa been depressed, anti haa ruled

CATTLE

BRISTOL, Tituttsmor.—Very large supply of
beef, the bulk of a very prime quality, chiefly local
produce. Trade, however, was pretty quiet, and all
were not sold, though last week's rate; were fully
maintained. lk-st samples fetched from 80s. to Sas.
per cwt., middling from 6135. to 745. We had also a
large supply of mutton for which there was a fair
demand. Bed wethers ;calked from S)4(1. to 91 per
lb.; heavy ewes from 7d. to Sd. We had a few store
cattle on offer, and at length there seems a turn for
the better in the trade, there being a much freer
inquiry for them than we have had lately. There
was a good show of much cows, which were in demand
at full rates. There were between 1,000 and 1,100
pigs on offer, and trade was rather better. Bacon pigs
fetched from too. &I. to too. led., and porkers from
Its to its. yl.
METROPOLITAN, TIII'ILSDAV.—The number
of English Nags is considerably larger than on last
Thursday, and there are a few more foreign. Trade
is exceedingly dull for them, and a clearance cannot
be effected, notwithstanding a reduction in price.
There is a shortr supply of 'English sheep, but a few
more foreign; the total is not so large as last week.
Trade is scarcely as good as on Monday, yet choicest
qualities cannot be quoted lower. Choice calves arc
scarce and dear. We have 00 English milch cows and
and 30 foreign ; there is very little demand for them.
Our foreign supply consists of 200 beasts, 3,820 sheep,
and 135 calves.

Mr. J. P. SI:RIVEN said the committee respecting Nil..
Lewis steps had not loon called toother. They had given
orders about the steps so far. and expected that before the
steps were altered, they would have been called, but they
had been treated with silent contempt.
The CHAIRMAN said if the committee had asked him to
call them together he would have done so.
Mr. E. COSHRN said it was the Chairman's place, and if
this had been anyone else's property but Mr. Lano's no
doubt they would have been called. He would not act on
any committee in future, to be treated u he had been on
this one.
The Cusita vs said it was understood that he would
want three flights of steps. one in either side, and one in
front. If he had known they were not going to grant it,
be would not have had them taken away. He considered
the Board should leave the premises as valuable as they
were before they touched the steps and that it would cost
Lim £25) alter what the Board had done. Besides that the
Steps did very well for hint before.

readers are aware, unavoidably postonni in consequence of

came forward, learnt the part, and such was the progress

not so large as we should liked to have seen, considering
the amount of good that has been done in the town by the
opening of a reading num, providing daily and weekly
nes spapets, games, and a well-lighted and well heated
apartment in which these who so I k%ire can sit and chat
and smoke. There was a thinness in the first and second
seats, but we ...annot for a tuoinent attribute this to • lack
of sympathy in the institution of those who generally till
that portion of tho rootp, and we miwt therefore put it
down that those absent were unavoidably SO. It must not
be imagined, however, that there was a poor house, for
such was not the Mb:. sun the gallery WAS crowded, thus
evidencing that those for whose benefit the entertainment
was given fully appreciated and supported the efforts made
by the energetic se Tetary (Mr. C. Powell) and the com-
mittee to increase the number of volumes in the circulating
library. We certainly think it is highly satisfactory that
the funds of the institution are in such a satisfactory
state that no extraneous effort(' are nooded to make both
ends moot, but that the sole object of thin entertainment

AT WINDSOR CASTLE

A tin box containing 25 keys was found in an inlet of
the Thames a few days ago, and amongst them were two
keys belonglng respectively to the gate of the well-known
100 steps, and to • door leading to the equerries' stables.
From this it was supposed that an attempt was intended
on the Royal apartments at Windsor palace. But a lock-
smith having examined the keys is decidedly of opinion
they were never intended for any such use, and the Chief
Constable of Bucks Burns np the story thus:—
On the 9th inst. • tin box was found as stated. and
amongst a lot of rusty of keys were two which appeared
to belong to the Castle. Not until the 27th Inst was.
" made or the keys taken to Ike Castle.
report
iniaturday last the bunch of keys (4) was shown to
the old woman at the 100 steps, who claimed them, and
informed me that they were stolen out of the yard gate
about three weeks ago, and that a sheet and • pillow-case
were taken the same day during her absence, probably by
• tramp.

cautiously, and business has far from recovered the

Sales now taking place in London, and which comprise
about 300,000 bales, show a decline of 5 to to per
