DEVONPOIIT, Dec. 19.—The Valorous, steam fri-
gate, which was oommissioned on Wednesday: is to have
a complement of 220 officers and men. The Nile, 90, le
being Sited as a screw ship at this port. The Avon, steam
tander,:sailed for Portsmouth on Monday with supernu-
meraries. She returned this morning. The Brisk steamer
has had her meets and bowsprit pat in, and is now being
rigged alongside the dockyard.
By a letter from H.M.S. Portland, dated 20th
October, we learn that Roar Admiral Moresby, Com-
mender-in-Chief in the Pacific, is going to make an ex-
tended tour of hie station, visiting Vanconver and other
islands, and is not expected back at Valparaiso till June or
July, 1863. PaymasteryWism Henry Bateman (of Stoke),
H.M.S. Virago, has been selected by the admiral to fill
the important end onerous post of paymaster of the Port-
land, vice W. B. H. Farrar invalided. Mr. Bateman was
the junior paymaster on the station, a fact which affords
conclusive evidence of the high opinion his commander-in-
chief entertained of his worth and ability. Passed clerk
William H. Hills (1849), to be eating paymaster of the
Virsgo, vice Bateman to Portland.
MALTA, Dec. 13.—The Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steamer Haddisgton, with the bulk of the India
mail, arrived to-day. 1 trust that the despatch forwarded
by the French steamer will have reached you long ere this. It
is now announced that Admiral Donde* does not return to
Malta. The announcement has caused general russet.
The Sampson, steam frigate, will leave this place to-night,
to convey despatches to the admiral on the arrival of the
Caradoc, with the outward India mail. The Banshee leaves
this port for Marseilles at 4 p.m. today, with that portion
of the homeward India mail sent through Franco. The
Spitfire, screw steamer, from Candle, arrived yesterday
early, and obtained pratique this morning, after a quaran-
tine of 24 hours' duration. The Triton, steam packet, from
Corfu, with mails ; the Genoese steam frigate Calcutta,
from London; the Arabian, screw steamer, from Liver.
pool, and the Egyptian steam frigate Muhbiri Surer, from
London and Gibraltar, severally arrived during the night
of Saturday.

COTTON.—Lyrniu.ool., Dec. 18.—The sales of cotton
to-day an estimated at 6,000 balm, and comprise 100 Per-
ms' and Maranharn, 61d. to Std. and 800 Surat, 3.d. to
4.d. The market, although closing tamely, exhibits a good
deal of flmanees. Prime have undergone no change from
yesterday's rates.
MANCHIST3O.. Dec. 18.—There is no further improve-
ment either in yarn or cloth than that noted on Thursday,
and which had referenda chiefly to goods purchasing for
immediate shipment M India and China. In mule sad

Madams before the end of the year. There are many un-
exhausted contracts of bag standing which still keep the
mills goiege extent., and stocks are not weasaalatiag to any notice-
abl

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lanus, Enc. 18.—We have had
a good market to-day. In both cloth halls there hu been
considerable briskness, and su excellent business done for
the season of the year. There have been several buyers in
the town during the week from London, ficotlaud, and
other parts of the country. Some of them have purchased
pretty freely ; this, together with a good skipping business
that to doing at present, has caused considerable activity in
the trade of the warehouses this week.

HARDWARE.-11Gunicoitax, Dec. 18.—Trade here
remains in the condition last reported ; generally it is good
—almost, if not altogether, unpreeedentedly so at this time
of the year. At the great railway carriage work', at Ut-
ley, the order. are very large, especially for the purpose of
the Norway and Indian railways now in coarse of construc-
tion. The only fact worthy of more than general notice as
regards the trade of the town during the week has been the
steppe(' of a mercantile house trading for some years part
with Mexico, and recently consigning largely to California.
The liabilities are said to be from 14,0001. to 18,0001., and,
es usual in each cases, the good debts are sold
to be very large. A meeting of the principal
creditors took place last Tuesday ; and, as we en
informed, some arrangements will be carried out by
them for winding-up the concern so far. More excitement
than ever has prevailed in the iron trade during the week,
and another advance of 20s. to 40e. is already talked of; cer-
tainly, orders are not now accepted at the last adrenal, but,
if we mistake not, the result of these moat extravagant ad-
vances will be highly mischievous, and, before very long,
the mischief will be rather widely felt. We have Teases to
believe that the price of pigs is not quite so high as it Weald
to be, and there are come tolerably heavy stocks on hand.
In the mune of the week we have seen contracts for the
sale of Hickman's Grey Forge Mine pigs at 41. 10s., end for
Gibbon's pigs at the like amount, and for nail sheets at
111 10s. • nlithit minap is the prise of tin is wad to be
by so bionslogesbakis.

CORN.—CAuswoos, Doe.lB.—A large supply of &Hoorn
to-day, and Wheat and Barley were cheaper. Wheat, new,
44..t0 46e. ; old, 60.. to 626. Barley, 21.. to ns. Beane,
new, 30.. to 325. ; old, 361. to 381. l'eas, 26e. to 30e. Oats,
160. to 24e.

- Cr,WTitasent, Dee. 18.—Our market was thinly supplied
1 with Wheat, and prices the same as last week.
.....

CoLcwastaa Dec. 18.—A good tapply of Wheat and
Barley; the sks slow for the former, at Is. advance,
the latter barely supporting last week's price'. Beam and
Pus unaltered is value, and but few for sale.

OLouciticrra, Dec. 18.—The Wheat market to-day was,
very firm. The supply of English was only moderate, and
found buyers at 2s. per qr. over last week's prices ; and in-
ferior parcels of foreign are held for Is. per qr. more money.
Barley steady, at former rates. Beans and leas firm. Oats
move off In moderato quantities, at an advance of 6d. to
lc per quarter sinter this day week. The weather to-day
dry and frosty.
tivit.Drosto, Dec. 18.—Tker• was • large market of
Wheat, and • very ostensive demand; old may be noted Is.
to 2.1. dearer, but, 'accept in some instances, there was little
variation in the value of new. Bale very unsaleable.
Wheat, old, 495. to 62a. ; new, 36e. to 53i. Barley, 25e. to
33e._ Bans, 345. to 38s. Peas, 345. to 355.

lIIITIORD, Dee. 18.—The market today WAS again
thiely supplied with Wheat; trade for all descriptions firm
at fully ea much money as last week. Barley sold freely at
last week's prices. Oats, Peas, sad Beans quite as good
trade. l'rices : Wheat, from 235. to Ms. per load. Bar-
ley, 245. to 3.55. per qr. Oats, ris. to 241. Peas, 18s. to
21s. per load. Beans, 18s. to 20s. Tares, 20s. to 225.
Rye, 18s. to 20e.
Mancararea, Dec. 18.—Since this day se'nuight
the trade for most articles has continued in a leas
animated state; still fully previous prices have been real-
ised for flour, and the stocks in the hands of factors have
but little increased. The imports into Liverpool and Run•
'cern consist of fair supplies of oats and oatmeal from Ire-
land, and of wheat end flour from abroad ; the arrivals of
other produce from all sources being very scanty. At our
market this morning the transactions generally were to a
moderate amount only, but the currency of this day was
fully maintained, and for some articles rather exceeded.

?iowcarmr-UPON-TYNE, Dec. 18.—The trade during
the present week has continued to exhibit an improving
tendency, and a large business has again been done in old
Wheat, at an enhancement of Is. per qr„ whilst upon Flour
• further slight amendment has occurred, amounting in
some eases to Is. per sack. Fine Barley has been fully as
well sold, but the disposal of the intermediate qualities has
beau interfered with by the foreign receipts (chiefly from
Denmark), which being heavier, are taken in preference
by Some realtsters at 295. per sr., weighing naturally 6411 e.
per bushel. Grinding and distilling fully as dear, with a
fair steady inquiry. Beans and boiling Peas fully as dear,
with rather more demand ; :the same remarks being
alike applicable to Oats, for which a speculative feeling still
exists. According to the official tables recently published
by the Board of irate, the following quantities of grain
and Flour have paid duty during the 10 months ending the
6th of November, viz: Wheat, 2,419,981 qrs.; Flour,
3,481,274 ewts. ; Barley, 624.6 A qra. ; Oats, 911,919 ; Rye,
6,479; Peas, 71,664; Beans, 318,366; against Wheat,
3,621,181 qrs. • Flour, 4,703,918 cwts.; Barley, 774,079
qrs.; Oat., 1,122,812 ; Rye, 24,611; Peas, 79,953; and
Beans, 263,588 for the corresponding period last year. At
our market this morning we bad a large show of Wheat
from the growers, the condition whereof was much affected
by the weather, whilst from the eosin the arrivals are more
eensiderable than of late, the greater portion of which, how-
ever, having peeped direct into the hands of the millers, ren-
dered them more indifferent about purchasing, still a clear-
ance was effected notwithstanding the above discouraging
circumstances, at the fell rates of this day sa'nnight,
extra qualities in some cases commanding rather
more money. Foreign and other descriptions were
held firmly at the advance of the week, with a fair con-
sumptive demand. In Flour we have little variation to
note, but upon the whole there was less pusing. Rye un-
changed. Choice malting Barley was held with confidence,
from an impression that the country supplies will fall off
importantly, and eoaaequeotly from teaceforth give an en-
larged sale for prime Norfolk and Suffolk varieties. With
respect to the intermediate qualities, there was a disposition
evinced to sell each, even at a trifle under previous quota-
tions. In Malt little stirring, and our extreme currency is
only made for anything very extra. Beans and Peas stea-
dily maintain their value. With Oats we were shortly
supplied by our growers, as well as from the coast, sad
sales were freely effected at an improvement of Bd. to Is.
per qr. The arrivals this week are : Wheat, cosetwise,
2,627 In.; foreign, 468; Rye, coastwise, 60; Barley,
coastwise, 988; foreign, 782; Malt, coastwise, 135 ; Oats,
coastwise, 30; Peas, foreign, 289; Flour, 1,613 sack...
NORWICH, Dee. 18.—At our market this day there was a
good attendance of farmers and merchants, who offered a
large quantity of Wheat, both old and new. Higher prices
wen expected by the sellers, but millers preferred realising
rather than increasing stock. Sellers were firm, but • con-
siderable quantity remained unsold. Prices must be quoted
firm, at a shade advance on the rates of this day s.'lll:light,
Floor was not quite so ea y to quit ; no change can be noted
in price. Barley was • good sale, at full prices. Grinding
aorta also were firm, and moved off briskly, but no advance
can be noted. Beans were quit* as good in price, quan-
tity email, quality scarcely so good as heretofore.
Peas were in demand and realised prices equal to those of
lat.. Oats were a good supply, condition not quite so good:
no change in value. We do not change our quotations.
PETIRIIOIOOOH,Dec.IB.—We had rather a large supply
of Wheat here to-day; best samples made last week's pnces,
other descriptions were Is. per qr. lower. Not much Bar-
ley, and prices unaltered. Oats and Beans each Is. per qr.
dearer.

READING, Dee. 18.—Our Wheat market was rather short
in supply ; fine quality samples made full Is., and in Dome
cases 2a. advance from last market day ; 645. per qr. wu
given for old, and 535. fur new. Malting Barley much en-
quired after, but little at market ; quite av dear ; while
inferior samples might be obtained on easier terms. Beans
and Peas very scarce. Oats of secondary quality plentiful
at late prices.
Waimea, Dec. 18.—We are largely supplied with
Wheat to-day, and fairly with other articles. The best dry
Wheat maintains the prices of this day week, whilst the
raw inferior thing; are bad to sell, at a decline of Is. to 2s.
per qr. Oats and Beans each Is. per qr. dearer. Other
articles as before.

Woncaarza, Dec. 18.—Our market to-day was largely
supplied with Wheat, and no advance could be obtained on
any description of foreign ; but Is. to 2s. per qr. more was
made for the English, and all kinds which changed hands.
Barley dull, and rather lower. Oats Is. per qr. dearer.
Beans and rem more inquired for.

i
Yost', Dec. 18.—There being a large attendance of
farmers at this day's market, we have more Wheat offering
than for some weeks past, which met a fair sale, at fully
last Saturday's prices. Barley, of fine quality, fully as
dear, but common sorts rather lower. Oats and Beans
firm, at last week's rates.
WATIMPORD, Dec. 18. Our deliveries of farmers'
produce have spin been tolerably good, but from abroad
the imports continue light. Our market this week has not
exhibited so much animation as of late, but prices of all
articles have been well maintained, with an upward ten-
dency in the value of Oats. This morning we had a liberal
supply of Wheat, and it was quickly disposed of at the
rates of Saturday last. Oats were in good request, at an
improvement of 4d. to 6d. per barrel. Barley met little
inquiry, without change in prise. There has been a steady
sale for foreign Wheat during the week, and to-day pur-
chases can hardly be made on such good terms as on Monday
or Tuesday last. For Indian Corn we have experienced •
fair demand, at the full currency of this day siennight, and ,
with moderate arrivals bolder* look for better prices ere '
long. Flour as last quoted. Imports this week : Wheat,
63 qrs.; Indian Corn, 2,600. Exports : Barley, 100 barrels ;
Oats, 6,863; Flour, 760 sacks; Indian Corn, 600 barrels ;
Oatmeal, 663 01/61.
KIIMCILLDIr, Dee. 18.—Atour country markets this week
owing to the weather, we had lees than the usual quantity
of grain offering. We had many anxious buyers for every
kind of grain ; and an advance was freely paid of 2s. to 3..
per quarter on Wheat, 6d. per quarter on Barley, and • full
shilling on Oats. Here, to-day, we had good supplies of
Wheat and Oats, but small of Barley. Barley sold !readily
at about 6d. per quarter over last week's rates. Oats were
fully 2s. per quarter higher. Farmers began by asking
most extravagant prices for Wheat, which checked sales.
Sales, however, were made at Is. per qr. over last week's
rates; while the top price is ss. 62. per qr. higher. Prices:
Wheat, 461. to 695. 6d. per qr. Barley, 2&. 62. to 325.
Oats, 19s. 6(1. to 2:58. Oatmeal, per bag of 2801b5., 30s.
