Lime°Lx, Aran. 30.-We had a flair supply of Wheat at
our market; the trade dull at le. decline from lost week's
Prete. Wheat, red. 76e. to 79e.; white, 78.. to Ills. Very
little spring earn offering. Barbey, 445. to 64a Oar is to
36.. Beans, &Ss to 611 s. The averiag mem la thla
aeighbourhood are looking remarkably well.
lavnaroor., APRIL 30.-Beyond a few limited yard" of
Wheat, Malt, and Bear, we have received very little Pro-
duce mistake, or hem behind, aims Iloaday LA; bat of
Wheat, Barley, Indian Corn, ladlen Meal, and Fleer, the
arrival' from 'Europe and America are liberal. From our
last report to this date the Cora trade in all Its beariago bas
bees extremely inactive, with a general inaliaation to lower
rice., Miceli, es regards Flour, which was decidedly
s. per barrel cheaper. Having a rather nuarross appear-
ance at millers from the inland counties at oar market to-
day, the general qualities of both English and
Wheat were is go d demand, and, although the hos=
bought sparingly, an advance of 2d. par 70 lb. apse our lest
quotations was obtained. American Flour, conumnding
mom lively attention, the traametions in wester were
extensive, at 395., and, /rurally tieing In the rano
of the morning, the trade dosed with a free eels
'at 40e. per barrel, thereby Pak retrevaring the
de-
d previously noted. The bast eleriptimm of Barley
were MANI depressed la Vale, bat the eradory 'solids'

=tally somparted oar lastamp ; ard Oatmeal re-
reedy to mdse. Indian Corn was filly la. per
4601 b cheaper, but met a fair demand at that reduction ; and
Indian Meal was unaltered in value. Arrivals from the 27th
to the 29th April, inclnuive, into Lie erpool end Runcorn:
I Wheat, 9.771 qrs. • Barley, 2,329; Malt, 9'28 ; Oats, 664 ;
Beans, ; Pear, ; Indian Corn, 32,622; Indian Corn
I Meal, 7,928 barrels; Oatmeal,' 20 loads; Flour, 89 sacks,
24,853 barrels.
Rtrom, Arum 29.-At our market this day the supply
was not eq.eal to that of last week, yet, from the extreme
high priers asked, exceeded the demand. Wheat and Oat.
realised an advance of full 3s. per qr. In Barley and Beans
few transactions at prices quoted. White Wheat, 11a. to
12s. 6d.; red, 10s. to 12s. Beene' 7.. 6d. to Ba. 6d. per
bushel. Barley, 525. to 565. Oats, 340. to 425. per qr.
Socvnaerros, Aram 30.-The weather continues still
very:it:old ; vegetation, consequently, makes little pro-
gress. The Wneat trade is exceedingly-firm, althouish there
was not much doing at the market today. For eprini corn
there is an improved demand, and Barley, Oats, and Beans
must all be noted Ir. to 2a. per qr. dearer.
US.BUIDOE, APRIL. 29.-The Wheat market was well sup-
plied to-day. The demand was rather dull, tint the prices
made for the best kinds rule as high as on last Thursday ; in
secondary sorts there was a trifling decline. Other grain
remains as before, although the trade is rather looking up.
Wheat, 211. to 231. per load of 5 qrs. ; Beans, 421. to 50s.
per qr. ; Peas, 50s. to 525. ; Barley, 465. to .545. ; Oats, 30e.
to 38e. •, Rye, 56*. to 60s. ; Tarei, 10.. per bathed Flour,
per sack, white, 725.; household, 67e. ; seconds, 625.

WAKEPIRLD, APRIL 30.-Oar supplies of all grain con-
tinue moderate. The arrivals of Wheat at this place for the
last five consecutive weeks amount to 19,923 qrs., which is
the smallest return since 1842. Several bu3ers westward at
present direct their attention to Liverpool ; to-day we quote
Wheat at barely previous rates, but there is a fair local de-
mand. Barley 2e. per qr. dearer, and scarce. Oats are
rather higher, but them is no alteration in Shelling.
Beans bnng full prices. Malt goes off freely at
en advance of 3s. per load. Other artillcs as before.

METALS.—GLARGow, APRIL 29.—Lest week
the state of this Irma market wee represented as most sump
tisfactory this week it has not improved ; on the contrary,
the price of Pig Iron has fallen to an unexpected extent.
On Monday, last week's quotations were still current : on
Tuesday, the market opened fiat, without say demand.
Several thournd tons were pressed on the market ; end the
price receded from 70s. (the previous day's quotations) to
695. 6d., and rapidly fell, under the pressure of sellers, to
675. 6d. nett cash. f.0.b., for 3.6tha No. 1, and 2-6ths No. 3.
To-day the upeet of affairs is worse , moo, y very scarce,
and our market closes, without any buyers, at his. The Iron
masters will not stand much chance of realising their expecta-
tions of a steady demand at 70s.

CATTLE, &a. BEDAL6 FORTNIGHT FAIR,
APRIL 27.—The number of tat Beasts on show was appa-
rently small, although an average quantity wu brought to
market, the dealets having bought several, before they could
reach the stand, at an advances of fully 6-1., and, in many
eases, Al. per stone above the rates of last fortnight. Mutton
was also on the advance, 7d. per lb. being readily obtained.
One lot of heavy shorn Sheep quickly sold at 64d. The
demand for in-calving Cows contanaes good, and prices are
high. Holding stock tells badly, and few offered. Beef, per
stone, 71. to Bs. Hutton, per lb., 64d. to 74d.
.

BRENT FAIR.—The supply wu about an average, but, the
demand being greater, farm stock commanded higher prices
than of late. Fat Bullocks, beet, 60s. ; contract, 50.. to 66..
Cows and Calves from 101. to 25/. each, or 501. to 58a.
Gracing stock, 38s. to 4.55. per cwt. Fat Mutton, 74/1. to Bd.
per lh. Ewe, and Lambs, 4Gs. to GOs. per couple. 1 here
were a few horses offered for sale, principally of the draught
kind, which found purchasers at low rates.

CAMBRIDOR STOCK FAlR.—This fair WY the largest
since its establishment both for attendance and stuck.
There was a large supply of Horse.; amongst them were
some good ones of the cart kind, which fetched from 401. to
501. each; there was a semarkahly mall show of hacks; and
that deacririon, which three years ago said at 141. or 151.,
to-day realised 201. and 251. A large number of superior
Horses left the fair unsold. The show of Cow stock was
large ; but there was not so much business done as would
otherwise have been the cane but for the shortness of feed ;
prices, however, were by no means retrograding. 01 Sheep
the supply was, u usual, small, there not being more than
100 in the fair. They were nearly all Leicester, and were
offered at On. each ; but there appeared no inclination to
pverhasi at that price.

EXETER, APRIL 30.—We have main to note a very large
supply of stork with the same exception so last week as to
fat Bullock., which were sraroe, and commanded even higher
prices than in the previous week, ss much as 11r. per score
having been obtained for fat Beef in seine instance,. The
supply of Cows and Calves was pretty large. Store Bullocks
said about the same so last week, the best barrener, being
worth 7s. per score. There was a large supply of butchers'
Caine, which sold at from 4d. to 6d per lb. A very large
number of Sheep were driven in, which generally met with
purchasers, at prices a shade less than last week. A lot of
shorn Sheep were sold at about 61d. per lb., and priors
ranged for fat Sheep from that figure to itil. per lb. Keeping
Sheep from 3.55. to 40s.

SraitTrOlLD-ON-AVON.—The first of the newly-established
fairs at this i *rough took place on Monday lest, when a
greater number of Sheep were penned than had been the
case for several years put at any of the other fairs, a hick
proves the feet that Stratford is well located for fairs (having
good roads), as it commands a great supply, and the country
round is not surpassed by any other spat in the kingdom.
The supply of Mutton was of first-rate quality, which met
with a steady and good sale from 64d. to rd. per lb., and, in
some instances, bare or shorn Sheep realised even 71d. to 71d.
Tire supply of Omsk was very limited, but the prices which
Beef fetched made up to the seller for the deficiency in
quantity, selling readily at Gid. per lb.

- - - -
YouB, AMIL 29.—We had a short supply of fat Beasts,
which were all sold from 7s. 9d. to So. per stone ; the market
had a good attendance of buyers. A good show of Sheep sold
readily : w.s:h wool, Bd. • clipped, 7d. per lb.
.A good supply
of lean Bea sold at rather better pricis.

COVENT GARDEN.—This hforning.—The supply
of Vegetables and Fruit is still limited, *nu t igh prices arc
realised. Trade is dull. . Pine Apples are sufficient for the
demand. Grapes are more plentiful, and, in consequence,
cheaper. Pears are scares; good Benne Rance fetch from
41. to Ca. per dos. Apples are also scarce. Oranges are
more plentiful, but fetch good prices. Nuts are sufficient
for the demand. Walnuts are scarcer, and se are
Chestnuts. Lemons are plentiful. Of Vegetables, W;ns
ter Greens are scares; as are also all kinds of Broeoli ;
that from Cornwall fetches from Is. 6d. to 4s. per dozen
heads. Carrots and Turnips are cheaper. French Beans
are dearer. Celery is scarce, and inferior in quality.
Potatoes arc more plentiful, and scantly maintain the prices
quoted below. Lettuces and Endive are scarce; but
other Salading is plentiful. Mushroonu are cheaper. Frame
Potatoes fetch from 2a. to 3s. per lb. Cut Flowers consist
of Heaths, Jasmines, Camellias, Pelargoniums, Gardenias,
Cacti, Cinenirias, Tulips, Lily of the Valley, Neapolitan
Violets, Roman Narcissus, Hyat lathe, Lilacs, Euphorbia
jaequiniflora, Stephanotis floribunda, Acacias, Azaleas, /does

would be supplied when the house went into committee on
Thursiar.
The MARQUIS of LANSDOWNE was understood to
promise that the subject shoald Imre the attention of govern•

landlords and tenants to settle between themselves their re-
spective amounts of rates.

in which Lord Beaumont, Lord Stanley, the Earl of Loran,
Lord Ashburton, the Bishop of Oxford, the Earl of St. Der-
mas, and Lord Campbell, took part.

ELECTION OF SCOTCH REPRESENTATIVE
PEERS.
_

The Earl of EOLTNTON role, and expressed hia regret
that the duty of brinping under the notice of their lordships
the abuses which from time to time occurred at the election
of Scotch represernative poen, should have devolved upon
him in consequence of the illness of his noble friend (the
Earl of Rem ry), who, on a former occesion had drawn
attention to the subject. However, a few words would suf-
fice to show the necessity which existed for some legislative
iaterference in the matter. By the terms of the set of
union it was provided that sixteen peen of Scotland should
sit and vet. in the perliansent of the United Kingdom.
These peers were to be eleetad by the peen of Scotland at
the time of the union, their heirs, and encernsion. In the
year 1708 a list of the peerage of Scotland, then existing or
supposed to exist, was returned to this house by Sir James
Murray, the then Lord Clerk Register Scotland ;
and this return formed the union of peers
called over at the election of a presentative
peer (when such an event took place) at Holyrood-
house. On those occasions the roll was called over, the
peers present answered to their names, and then proxies
were demanded, and the clerk register had no power to re-
turn the vote tendered by any person who chase to go to
Holyrood-house and represent himself as the Bon, grandson,
or lineal descendant cf any peer whore name so appeared in
the scion rod. The vote of such a person must be received,
and could not be questioned by the clerk register. In conse-
quence of the death of Lnrd Rollo, an electron of a represen-
tative peer took place with the usual formalities on the 17th
of March last, and upon the title of Lord Colville, of
tree being called, a person answered to that Mk', and ten-
dered his vote, which was accepted by the clerk. The Earl
of Selkirk, who was present, tendered a protest against the
vete being received, but as some doubt was entertained, the
protest was not received and the vote was recorded. It was
clear, however, that there was no such person as Lord Col-
of Ochiltree, rioting, though the person who voted
under that name might be a very respectable person.
Under such circumstances, seeing that such a pro-
ceedieg was calculated to bring discredit, not merely
on the Scotch peerage, but also on the peerage
generally, he should not go farther into the sub-
•ect, or detail the innumerable instances in which the
same abuses had occurral, because he believed there would
be no opposition to his motion, with which he would cow
conclude, namely, " That a select committee be appointed
to take into consideration the existing laws and regulations
which relate to the elections of the representative peers of
Scotland, to consider what steps should be taken to prevent
persons from voting at such elections who are not entitled to
do so, and to report upon the proceedings which took place
at the election of Lord Gray, on the 17th March last"
Lord BROUGHAM supp.rrted the motion. The subject
to which it referred would be much better discerned by a
select committee, than it was possible to be in the body of
the house.

After a few words from the Msrgnit of LANPUOWNZ and
Lord Caorsam, the motion was agreed to, the eommiuee
nominated, and ordered to meet on Monday next, at two
o'clock:

The house adjourned at twenty minutes past six o'clock to
Monday next.
