pain of all kinds at this cora exchange today, with a geed

Prrinunitocos, ILiace 26.—We bad a fair quantit♦
of wheat here to-day, and it was readily sold at fully Wt
week's prime. Not a large show of spring corn, and oil
descriptions found buyers at late rates.
READING, MARCH 26.—Tlis trade has again. is for some
tiros past, been dull, few buyers being present, and at the
commencement of our market this morning there was a
short supply and little trade doing, which continued to
the end. Pnces must be quoted as twit week, both for
wheat and barley.
ROCHNSTIR. MARCH 26.—The samples of wheat ex.
bibited at this core exchange were rather improved in con.
ditioc, but there was a great deal at market which was
altogether unsaleable. For the bast samples of both white
sod red wheats, late rates were obtained, with a dull
trade, but although holders,were willing to swede to a re.
' duction of Is. per quarter for other kinds, there was little
or nothing doing. For best parcels of English white wheats
the terms were 43a. to 45a.. and red 40a. to 425. per quarter ;
for secondary and inferior white 395. to 43c, and red
to 40a. per quarter. The foreign trade was firm,
! bat business was dull. The transactions in Hour
were somewhat restricted, and males were only done
in retail at about former figures. Barley was again dull.
and in the other kinds of spring corn there was little doing.
Best mailing kinds of barley made 334. to 39w, and grinding
265. to 295. per quarter. Oats; were flat, but best feeds
maintained late rates. In beam and peas there was no
alteration.

wheat at market to-day. Oats and beans fair. Wheat met
a fair sale at the full prices of lest week. Oats, beaus, and
peas dull sale, at late rates.
YORK, MAME( 26.—The supply of wheat at this day's
cora market was quite ae large as has been the ow during
the pat few weeks. The attendance of farmers and haw.
wu moderate, and there was. a slow feeling in the trade at
fully late quotations. White samples ranged !ran 44k. to
44a. ; ditto red, 375. to 40s. per 36 stone. There was not
much animation in the demand for barley (of which the
supply was about as usual), but prices underwent very little
alteration—maltiog. 28s. to 32.5. per quarter ; grinding.
260. to 27e. per 30 stow. The supply of oats was middling,
and with a steady feeling in the trade isles were made at
previous curreocise—new, Its. to 20e. per 24 stone. Beans
were in rather limited supply, and sales took place at lass
rates—namely, 325. to 345. per 3S goes. Malt, 58s. to 60s.
rye, 281..
Iles. per quarter. Flour, to 31k. par sack of

Krukcator, MARCH 26.—At our country markets this
week we bed lees grain offering than for months past, par-
ticularly of barley, which seems about exhausted. Farmers
asking much higher prices checked sales, so that very little

kinds of grain. Salsa ready, at an advance of Is. per quarts
on wheat and bailey, sad 6d. per quarter on oats. Wheat,
13a. to 41s. per qr. ; barley, 2.55. to 325. ; oats, Ma. lid. to

WATERFORD, MARCH 26.—We hare again to report
SCISoty deliveries of home-grown grain ; cauterise our re.
osipte have also been very limited, and from foreign °air
one cargo of maize has reached as. The trade has continued
extremely dull, but, with meeption of Indian cora, prices
hays been pretty well supported. Wheat—Foreign is
limited request at the currency of this day ee'onight. 'risk
in very small compass, and fully as dear. Barley supports
previous rates. Oats—The supply is barely equal to de
demand, sod 94.7 d. to tis. 9d. per 141 Moue would be freely
paid for prime samples. Indian Cors—We must again note

ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT VICTORIA.—The =SW
steamer Great Victoria. which left Liverpool of the let of
January, arrived is the lf eney of Saturday morning. Whoa
opposite New Zealand, the rudder gave way. and mold not
be properly repaired ; the consequeoce was that the voyage
was necessarily tedious. She brings 18,000 ounces of gold
in specie, a large number of passengers, and a very large
cIirt:TRNING OF kW EMIGRANT SSW. —On Balm:lay,
the destruction of the emigrant ship, Louis Napoleon, by
fire, was reported at Lloyd's. Provideetially the catastrophe
was not attended with loss of life, although the passengers and
crew are stated to have had a narrow comps. The 111-fated
ship was on a voyage from Hamburg to New York, and
had about 60 passengers on board. She left the Elbe in the
early part of February ; and on the 20th of that mouth,
when in Ima 25 N., long. 66 W., elm wu discovered to be cis
6re.AU efforte failed to amiogniali the flames, and she. was
totally destroyed. The emigrants aod crew took to the
boats, sod, on the following day, were picked up by fhe
schooner Peerless, from Baltimore to Porto Moo. The brig
Harding, from Trinidad. spoke with her, and took en bawd
several of the passengers of the Louis Napoleon, and landed
them at Raegedsold.
CCurollans FOR STEAM RAM..—It is not to be
endured that private ship-builders should have the power,
by so evasion of the law, to supply vessels of war to the
enemies of people with whom we sea at peace, and, by so
doing, involve us in war with them. On the other hand it
is istaleisble that my foreign settee should be empowered
to limit the bushiest of my British ship-builder. llid not
the government offer to buy the steam rams in the Mersey,
and was not that offer refused Because then why
does not our dear old Pam ask the legislature to
give government the power of compelling the sale of any
vessel of war which it may think proper to buy at a fair
valaatios. A power the same as that which is exercised by
every mossy grubbing railway company, at the expense
of anybody, might surely be entrusted to her Majesty's
Ministers for the public good, and to the very slight dim
advantage only of unpatriotic shipwrights. Remember,
moreover, that the British Navy would be much ioureaml
in eficiecey by @Very addition which it received from a pri•
veto dockyard.—Patent.
