Slienwenunr, June 17.-The high rates' 11 this
day chunked sales. and for the few lota of What mid, es. 5.1.
to 6s. 10.1. per imp. bushel was realised.
STETNIWO, June 19.-Wheat met a lively denoted, at 21.
per qr. advance. Some farmers held out for a sti l further
advance Weather, wet; supply short. Other rein steady,
and unaltered in value, Wheat, white, 121. 10e. to 132 per
load ; red, 101. to W. 10i. ; Barleys 325. to Ms. per qr.;
Oats, 20s. to 215. ; Beans, 34.. Peas, 38.. to 40a.
StIIDIZIAND, Jane U.-The weather hu been highly fa-
vourable during the we. k for growing mops, and we have had
some heavy rains, especially to. day,with a much lower tempera-
ture from a brisk north-east wind. The Wheat plant is quite as
early es in general seasons ; and last week we saw Wheat
shot in several early situations in this neighbourhood. Crops
of all kind. maid be desired in a more fi turishing condition.
The arrival+ masteries during the wash have been 570 qrs.
of Wheat, 600 of Oats, and 295 seeks of Flour. From the
farmers to-day we had a tolerable supply of Wheat, which
sold readily at the rates of at week. The best Wheats are
worth 525. to 545.; good average parcels 435, to 505., and
interior qualities 44.. to 463., per qr. ; there is a continued
good demand for south countryg and fresh foreign Wheat* at
these press. Oats are in r, quest, at 21s. to 235. Other
kinds of grain are but slow sale, and in price there is no
change to note. Flour meets very ready tale, at 375. to 333.
for south country, and 3.5. to 36.. firhome-made.
SwisiDON, June 19.-To the prospects of an early harvest
noticed in our report of the 12th, have succeeded continuous
and heavy rains; the showers of the preceding night had
an ekeet on the market. Supplies moderately good. A
tolerable amount of business was transacted to the best
kinds of Wheat, at an advance of from Is. to 2.. per qr.,
and a like change in some inferior samples in good condition.
Barley was nominally quoted. In Beans, Peas, and Outs,
there was a tendency to downward prices. The currency
was; Heavy woke Wheat, 631. to 555. per qr.; best red,
53s ; inferior, 615. Barley quotable at 355. for best sam-
ples; other sorts, 303. per qr. best tick Beans, old, 475. ;
new, 395. to 45e. Peas the turn cheaper. Oats, best Poland.
255.; secondary Realities, 19.. to 21s.
YAKMOUTK, June 17.-We are spin very attahiPT sup-
plied with Wheat, and, although not much Inquiry for that
article, still the trade is firm, and rather more money given
for the best parcels. In other articles we have scarcely any-
thing doing, and prices may be called the same as last week.
Wheat, white, 475. to tfts ; red, 41a. to 465. ; extra, 475.
Barley, 28s. to 305. Beans, small, 345. to 363. Peas, 341. to
351. Oats, 225. to 245. per qr.
ANCoNA, June 6.-Indian Corn is in demand for Dal-
matia, and a few hundred quarters have b:en sold at 175. to
17s. 62. per qr. ; the export to that quarter, however, will bo
bqt limited. English vessels can be chartered at ss. to 55.61.
per qr,, and 10 per cant. primage.
DAtazlC, June 10.-On the 7th and Bth a pretty large
Wainer was done at our market, say about 500 lasts of
Wheat, at somewhat reduced prices considering the improved
quality; good high mixed Mho. lower Polish at 385.; 60lbs.
inland, 375. ; fine mixed, 611 be , 365. 6d. to 375. • common
mixed, 6011 e., 35.. 61.; and inferior mixed, 601 a., 31s. W.
Yester.iay nothing could be plat< dof the over rem timing
simples, tits demand at the above rates seeming satisfied ;
we therefore, with continued dull reports from British mar-
kets, should not wonder if next the turn was in favour of
buyers, although we find these rates leaving losses to the im-
porter., some of whom are withdrawing their samples going
td granary. Two large vessels have bete chartered for Lon-
don at Is. 6d. Forty lasts of Peas have been bought at 265.
to 275. fie a on board, end will go to England on consignment.
GRONINOZN, June 13.-The demand for Wheatcontinnes
of n local character ; really line picked samples bring pre-
vious rates, but low and interior sorts ars almost unsaleable.
Barley, Rye, and Buckwheat neglected. Beans and Pees a
ready sale at full rates for exportation. Oats come sparingly
to hand, and from the cause may be noted 61. per qr. dearer.
Rapeseed firm. Freights to Landon and east coast, 15e. to
165., and 10 per cent. per last for Oats.
HANIBORO, Juno 13 -The supplies of Wheat continue
moderate, and prices are well supported; good 621 h. to 631 b.
red fetches 365. 6.11. to 37.. ; fine 631 h. Wahren is held at
38s. G.I. to 395. per qr. on bard. In Baltic Wheat nothing
has been done Beale Barley is in better demand, and fetches
6d. to Is. per qr, more than lut week; 511 h. having been sold
today, at 225. 6d. per qr. on board; and Mecklenburg, 521 b.
to 531 b., at 22a. A cargo of Danish Island, 531 b., was mold
at 20s. Si. per qr. free on board; Jutland is offered at 203.
Oats are unaltered is price. A cargo of Emden Brew fetched
16s. 6d. per barrel on board there. Beans are also more
inquired for, at 275. 6d. for middle, and 28s. 6d. for small.
Good boiling Peas are worth 315.; grinding, '27s. to 27e. ;
White and red Cloverseed continue to be held firmly at our
quotations. Rape Cakes ire not to be had under 95.. to
975. gd per ton, cost and freight. Linseed Cakes continue
in demand, at 81. to 84 5.. per ton, including freight.
MAISRILLZa, June 13.-So very little has been done at
this place in the grain trade of late that it has become
almost impossible to give quotatiene. Of Linseed Cskes
hardly any stock remains; the last sales were at 61. 5.., and
the crushers now ask 61. 125. 6,1 per ton for parcel to be
delivered in all July.

'num!, June 5 —Stocks of Indian Corn are now much
reduced, and Galati is held for fully 31rr. ; which, however,
if our pment very high escbarge keeps up, will n.. 4 cost over
21s. per qr. on board.

RAILWAYS.
Lord REDESDALE, pursuant to notice, Inquired whether
it was the intention of the railway commissioners to oppose
the introduetion into any private bill of any provisions for
altering the gauge of any railway authorised to be con-
structed by any act which had passed prior to the foaming of
the Gauge Act, in 1846 ; whethi r they proposed to bring in
a bill in the °resent 'mien to alter and amend the Gauge
Act; and whether any report hail been prepared by them
upon this subject, or whether they intended to recommend
that the consideration of the same should be postponed to the
next session of parliament?
Earl GRANVILLE was understood to say that there
were several bills before parliament eintsining clauses
authorising the companies to alter the gauges, which clauses
the commissioners would feel bound to oppose. An experi-
ment wee now going on as to a mixed gauge, and the rail-
way commissionera would not come to any determination on
the subject until that experiment heel been fairly tried.
Under present circumstances, they were not disposed to in-
troduce any bill on the subject.
In reply to a question from a NOBLE Logo, whose name
we could not learn,
Earl GRANVILLE raid that the attention of the
railway commissioners had been directed to the subject of
the necessity of increasing the number of tuarda on paseen.
ger trains, in consequence of the late serious accident at
Wolverton; and 31r. Simmonds, one of Oil railway inspec-
tor', was now in communication with Mr. Hewett on the
subject. The commissioners hod no power to enforce such re-
gulations; but he must do the companies the justice to say
that they had attended most readily to any sugeestions which
had been made to them by the Railway Board.
IRELAND.
Lord FARNHAM, in putting a question of which he had
given notic. , on the subject of the discontinuance of the
drainage of certain works in the county of Cavan, and
the dismissal by the Board of Works of the labourers
employed thereon, said trat 3,500 persons hal been
dismissed at a moment's notice, end this at a time of the
year—between the sowing season and the hey harveAt
when employment was very difficult to obtain Since the
2Qth of December last no lees than So. 4d. in the pound, by
two rata, one of Sc. and the other of 3s. 4d., had been levied
on the parish,which was in a most impoverished district.
Another rate, therefore, for the relief of those unhappy
people could not be made, and he did not see how it was
possible that they could be aupp rted. He had that day re-
ceived a memorial from GOO of these poor nun, accompanied
by a certificate from the larchbiehop of the diocese and the
magistrates of the localdy, setting teeth their lamentable
condition. And he might himself state, as a con.tant resi-
dent in the district, that during the whole of the time in
which the men had been employed on the public works, not
0710 of 'hem had been charged with theft, and their conduct
had been most exemplary since their dismissal. He hoped,
therefore, the government would raise the money to can
tintse the works.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE (who was all but inau-
dible in the gallery) was understood to say that the govern-
ment had received information of the stopping of the drain-
age. The subject was moot interestin.t to the government,
and not the lees so on account of the good conduct of the
men who had been dismissed. The works in questioa were
not, however, carried on by the government grants, but by
the Board of Works on the application of particular indivi-
duals—either public bodies or private individuals; and there
had been in this case, unfortunately, a default of payment on
the part of those persons. Out of 52,0001, which the works
were to cest, only 4,5001. had been raised by private loans,
and, therefore, it had become neceaary to stop the works.
It was much to be regretted that they should have been
stopped et this particular season ; but the board could not
have proceeded with these particular works without abstract-
log the funds from other works in other parts of the coun-
try. (Hear, hear.)
Earl FITZWILLIAM reed the terms of the motion
of which he had given notice for Friday next, es-
pressing the thanks of the house to the executive in Ireland
for past measures of relief, and calling on the government
foil further leeislation for that country.
Lord BROUGHAM doubted the propriety of a vote of
panegyric before the Earl of Clarundon's administration had
terminated ; but he did not wish to be considered adverse
to any such vote when it could with propriety be brought on.
Lord MONTEAOLS moved resolutions to the following
effect :
That the circular letter of the Irish Poor-law Commisionera,
dated the 23rd of May, 1818, direct a chwure in practice at Tan-
ana with the direct provisions of the Ist and 2nd vie., c. 51,
sect 53 Of, and the loth Viet., c. 31, net 8, 10 that such a
mangein the adminiatration of the law, if shown to be neevaary and
extvedient. me only be carried into effect by the authority of the legis-
lature: that any orders issued, or authority claimed or exercised by
an administrative department, Walter or net aside the taw of the land
is of dangerous peened sit, and demands the .mowdiste attention of the
Dour, ni eapect,it when such orders a.e issued during -he remora,
whim the -ease of igirliamsnt might hare wen Mon on the question.
The quarter-acre clause in roamed into the last poor law
WI not a peculiar nardshM on Ireland; for it was nothing
store than what had been the practice in Engiand for a long
