Coax,. lan. 19.-The weather during the week has been
chaoseable and mild. Trade continues exceedingly dull
and prices of all descriptions of grain mat ifest a tendenty.to
decline rather than to sdvence. We continue to receive
rather large supplies of foreign pen. Those of home growth
are trifling. liscept where quality has produced a varia-
tion, we have very little change in the value of say descrip-
tion of grain. la prepared Wheat we have nothing drip
sad, with the exception of hooded, the teadeney is to lower
prices. Barley remains unaltered is value. In the prepared
article we have no business to report. Oats also are nomi-
nally the same. In prepared Oats no transactions have taken
place. The inquiry for the article is languid, at lower raw,
the value of whites this week being about 10s. 31 per barrel
bee on board. A little business has bees done is Flour at
late price, but the trade in the article is far from militated.
Indian Corn has again raced d in value to the extent of 6a.
per ton. the extreme quotations for prime Corn being
71. 12a. Bd. per tin; while exc-Dent Portuguese Cora can be
had at 71. 10s. ; the current rates for ordinary qualities being
71. to 71. fte. Indian Meal is quite neglected.

WaraltlMlD, Jan. 20.-Our supplies of farmers' grain
dace Ilatunlay have been the smallest we have received in
say week since harvest, and the trade, in consequence, is
confined to trallactions in foreign corn and a few parcels
of Oats, which are brought by brat from alto interior. The
value of country Wheat is nearly nomind, sad our millers,
finding increasing difficulty in gutting the Flour, buy foreign
(whether free or in bon4) with great caution. The trade in
these articles ban therefore been exceedingly limited, at last
week's rates. Our former quotations for Batley may be re-
pelled, but Oats moat to noted lower by 3d. per band for all
bat the beet stealing qualities. Flour is in very slow de-
mand, at the prices of lest week. In Indian Com but little
badness has been passing, although some holders have
pressed sales at a doilies of Is. to ls. 64. per
barrel. The following are the present quotations: -

The supply of Beasts is rather larger than on Monday last.
Trade u exceedingly dull, and it is with great difficulty
that late quota. ions are realised ; halted, on the average,

a very slow trade, at lower prices. Calves ars scares ;
Wade is brisk for them ; a °ham rue readily makes

LONDON, MONDAY, JAN. 22.

A mesons change has come over the political rela-
tions of the metropolis and the provinces. From the
time that the nation began to awaken out of the infa-
tuation which led it to recall Camel; IL without
conditions, to the commencement of the Reform Bill
agitation, London took the lead in all liberal move-
ments. The London liberals were the most forward
in their opinions, the moat perfect in their organisa-
tion, the most prompt in action. Their proceedings
roomed the emulation of the provinces, their declara-
tions gave the tone to the universal liberal party.
About 1830 a Birmingham union for the first time
moved pari passes, or rather somewhat in advance of
the metropolitan reformers. Since that time
the latter have gradually sunk into • comparatively
passive date, contented to receive impulses from the
provinces instead of communicating them. London
was the lad place in the kingdom to take up the corn-
law repeal question in earned.
Had this change stopped short at establishing
Leat:equality among the Lorton and provincial
—with introducing more reciprocity in giving
and receiving opinions and impulses—it would have
been quite natural, easily accounted for, and desirable.
The centralisation of political activity in the metro-
polis was the consequence and sign of deficient
information in the provinces. As soon as the
out-ports came to vie with London in the extent
and variety of their commercial transactions,
and ever since new and populous centres of ali-
enated wealth, enterprise, and intelligence, sprang
up in the manufaetaring districts, greater ,in-
dependenos and activity of political opinion has neces-
sarily pervaded the provinces. The assertion of
a greattr equality in political movements was en in-
evitable consequence. The improvement of turn like
roads and stage-coach communication did much, the
introduction of the railroad system has done more, to
