Mary, Novi whey 7, is A. at all events, the supplies of foreign Wheat have exceeded
what has been wanted; and, notwithstanding the animated
accounts which have reached us for some seethe put from
the Baltic, uo apprehension is felt on this side in respect to
the future ; indeed, so sceptical are our merchants and mil-
lers, as to regard the reports 01 the total failure of the potato
crop in some parts of Germany, and the indifferent yield of
rye in the north of Europe, with considerable doubt. This
would prolubly not have been the case if ourown harvest had
proved deficient; but the plentiful manner in which the
markets in all parts of the Kingdom continue to he sup-
plied with wheat of home-growth of excellent quality
checks all disposition to cuter into speculative investments.
An unusually tiara winter, or an unfavourable spring,
might perhaps have some influence, and impart a more
lively tong to business; bed at Kerne buyers seem bj irio
sassy disposed to purchase beyond what they require for
immediate use.
The weather has been, and is mill, favourable for all
kinis of out-door work, and the sowing of wheat is likely
to be completed in a very putisfactury manner. In attune
forward districts the young plant is already above ground ;
it has generally come up regularly, and its aspect i, healthy
and strung. I turner, have, for .4unie weeks past, been too
busily engaged in the fields to have ninth leisure to thrash
—still, as we have already intimated, the deliveries have
kept peer with the demand. At this period of the year we
have usually increased supplies Irma the growers • but we
are inclined to think that many will prefer to thrash barley
to wheat, the value of the sooner being relatively higher
than that of the latter article. Should this be the ease, a '
slight advance in the price would perhaps take place, as we
may calculate un a good cow:um'. sive demand, the principal
millers basing, for several weeks put, drawn en their
:tacks rather largely.
The wheat trade has, since this day week, maintained a
firm tone ; and at some of the hailing provincial markets a
email advance has been established.
The attendance at Liverpool, an Tuesday, was nr.re nu-
merous thou on any previous occasion fur some weeks; and.
though the ordinary kinds of Wheat were not dearer, choice
qualities realised Id. per 7011 u. more than on that day se'll-
night. .1m...6i-sae flour was also in good request, and 3,1. to
61. per brl. higher; but Indian corn excited little attention.
Later in the week, the disposition to purchase wheat and
flour increased; and on Friday the former again ruse Id. per
701 M. and the latter 3d. to Gel. per brl.
Tuesday's advice, from Hull and Leeds describe business
as firm, without being active; and quotations of wheat re-
mained much the Mine at both places as before.
The accounts from Bristol, of Thursday, are of a similar
character; and at Birmingham, on the same day, an ad-
Ivanee of Is. per qr. was established.
At most of the farmers' markets rather enhanced rates
have been asked, and a rise of about Is. per qr. has, in many
instances, been realised fur the best dry 'samples.
The extent to which the potato crop has suffered from
disease appears still to Ira a matter of great doubt. Mean-
while, the markets continue to be regularly and abundantly
supplied with this article ; and a much smaller proportion
of the supply proves unsound than was apprehended would
have been the case. Thin, and the absence of any serious
complaints from the grower., afford fair grounds far coining
to the conclusion that the mischief bas not been so great as
woo at one time feared. Our Scotch letters are this week
silent on the subject, but from what was stated a week or
two ago we ate inclined to think that potatoes are nut keep-
ing so well in that country as could be desired.
the wheat trade was not particularly active at Edinburgh
on Wednesday, but good middies were quite as dear as
before. Barley was Gd. to I. p<r qr. higher, and oats not
cheaper than on that day week.
At Glasgow, on the same day, prices of all articles had
rather un upward tendency.
From Ireland we learn that potatoes, of good muddy,
continued abundant and cheap ; and that the demand for
wheat and Intliau corn had been considerably influenced by
this circumstance. Of the latter article heavy stocks are
heist at sonic of the principal Irish ports. Wheat hail not
varied in value, the mere firm tone of the rep .rta from this
aide having sustained the conlitleace of holders. 0 its had
tome forward pretty freely, and some quantity was hieing
shipped for the English markets. The arrivals of Wheat
at Curk, &c., from the Mediterranean and Block Sea, had
not been latge ; hut a good many cargoes of Indian Corn
hail come to hand.

FOREIGN.

By the most recent advicesFreTrii.ihe north of Europe, we
learn that the disposition to speculate in grain had in a great
measure subsided, and that the extreme rates realised for
Rye a week or two previous were no longer obtainable.
The supplies of Wheat from the growers had not increased
netteriilly, and at most of the leading shipping ports in the
Baltic holders bad remained firm, notwittutaaiug a decided
wa .t of activity in the demand.
Our Diutsic advice!) are of the 3rd inst. The operations
for some days previous had been unimportant, but neither
new our old wheat had beenottered lower. Fine high Wised
Upper Polish old, weighing 62Ibs. per bush., had not been
offered below 405.; other sorts had been held at rates rang-
ing from 375. to 395. per qr. free on hoard.
The supplies of new wheat from Poland has been small;
the quality is described as tolerably good, though few of the
samples brought forward had weighed more than 69Ibs. to
601bo. per bushel. The little business done had been at
135 e. 6d. to 361. per qr. The shipmeats of wheat during the

month of October hail been unimportant, the total quantity
having amounted to only 1,900 lasts, about 1,100 lasts of
which bud been for Great Britain, the rest for Holland and
Norway. Freights were very low, a vessel carrying 1,7410
qrs. having been chartered for London at Is. and a
imaller.sized craft at 2s. per qr.
The reports from Stettin are of a more subdued tone
this week, and the rye ejaculation, to which we have lately
had to direct attention, had subsided. This article, after
having attained the extraordinary high price of 381. per
qsuarter, had come down about :14., the quotation on the Ist
ovember being 325. to 335. per quarter free on board. In
the seine of wheat no particular change had taken place
since the previous post day ; holder, had on the whole re-
mained firm, and good 611135. red Stettin wheat had not
been offered for delivery in spring below 30s. to 365. &Leer
quarter free un board. Barley hail beta in good request,
and hail realised equal to 21s. to 225. per quarter free on
board. .

lto:tock letters of the 4th in.tant inform us that former
prices had been steadily supported. Stocks of old wheat
had become reduced to a very narrow compass, and good
qualities had not been offered below 375. 6d. to 3Ss. per
quarter. The supplies from the growers had been on quite
a road scale, and equal to 3.35. to 365. per quarter had been
realised fur middling qualities B..rley had come to hand

THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.

(Prom tM Doily Neva.)

_ .
GREAT expectations were built upon an innovation
in the LORD MAYOR'S procession of 1850. The man
in armour was summarily dismissed by Lori Mayor
MusonovE, and in lieu of him was substituted a
meant emblematical of Peace and its triumphs.
The hopes of those who fondly flattered themselves
on account of this change, that the Millennium had
commenced, and been formally inaugurated by the
corporation of London, have been cruelly nipped in
the bud by Lord Mayor HUNTER. The warlike dis-
play, innate in all occupants of the Mansion House,
curtailed in its fair proportions in 1850, has, like a
well-pruned tree, bourgeoned with unprecedented
luxuriance in 1851. Of late years London has had
its man in armour, and oteasionally under an unusually
liberal LORD MAYOR, two or even three men in ar-
mour; but this year it has been astounded with
the gorgeous display of full a quarter of a hundred of
knights, armed rap-ti-pc - the mail habiliments of
the age of IleNur VIII., if not their wearers, having
once more re-visited the glimpses of a November
sun. Such a spectacle has not been witnessed in
Cheap_ since ALICE PIERCE and her fair companions
'led EDWARD 111., with a train of knights, by their
to the tournament in Smithfield. Our pre
sent Smithfield would, by the way, be no isappro-
priate tourney-ground for the chivalry of the corpo-
ration.
This startling revival of the warlike propensities of
London magistrates has the more astounded the
lovers of peace, that it has taken place immediately
after the closing of the great Industrial Exhibition,
which we were told was to cement all tongues and
nations in bonds of amity and brotherhood. These prog-
nostications are indeed in curious contrast with the
mustering of armed men, which bears about the same
proportion to all preceding musters on aLordMayor's
day, that the buttons on a page's jacket do to those on
his yuung master's. This appears to have fluttered
not a little some of the more timid among us. We
have not, indeed, heard that any application has
been made from the Austrian embassy to Lord PAL-
MERSTON for a categorical disclaimer of the city
knights being raised as an auxiliary force to the
Hungarians. But it is a coincidence full of mean-
ing, that the programme of the I.oun M.tyoa's
show appeared in the same impression of our paper
with an anxious exhortation from the president of
the Peace Society to its members to hold fast to their
principles and prepare for a series of (at least mock-
ing) persecutions.
n justice to Lord Mayor IlesrEn, however, we
must declare that we do not suspect him of
any intention to disturb the peace of Europe.
We do not believe that our worthy chief magistrate
cherishes any inclination to make himself the PETER
the TEsrY of London, and involve us in war. In
fact, all the men in armour of all the Lord Mayors
of London have been called into existence less by
admiration of, or sympathy with feats of arms, than
by sheer lack of invent4on. In one of BEAUMONT
and Fl.r.reniiit's plays a poet is introduced, whose
main calling is to devise pageants for triumphal
processions. The unlucky getter-up of pageants has
but one idea, "a blue Grace," and whatever has to
be said, done, or exhibited, he proposes to accom-
plish by the instrumentality of " a blue Grace."
What his blue Gram was to the hack poet of our old
dramatists, the man in armour has been to the Lord I
Mayors of London, with the solitary exception of
Lord Mayor MuscaovE. Lord Mayor HuNrEtt,
anxious to outshine his predecessors, cannot get out
of the beaten track of men in armour, he can only
multiply their numbers, as Sir BaLaam, when ex-
horted by his Lady to " live like himself," could
only bid " two puddings smoke upon the board,"
wliere one had smoked before.
As the dignitaries of Laputa had their " flappers,"
so the dignitaries of London, it is clear, need their
pageant inventors. The pageants of the City have
never gone right since the post held by ELK. NAII
Suva; has been (from economical motives, we
presume) allowed to fall into abeyance. We have
no ambition to put ourselves for Ward as candidates
for the office; nevertheless, for the benefit of the
Lord Mayor of 18.52-3, whoever he may be, we take
the liberty to throw out a few suggestions. The
monotonous character of the processions of the 9th
of November might be agreeably diversified could the
Aldermen be persuaded to appear in allegoric-al cha-
racters. Mr. Alderman WILSON would be great iu
Thrum's, dragging the luckless Mr. MACNAMARA cup.
tive at his omnibus wheels; Sir R. CARDEN would
appear to advantage as white-robed Purity (of elec-
tion), with the " third party " of St. Albans walking
in his train; and Sir PETER LAURIE would be great
as the City Mercedes, with all the nuisances he has
(attempted to) put down following him as his twelve
labours.

The reports from Rotterdam are similar to those from
Harnburgh, and it it to be feared that the purchases Linty
made on this side will give but au indifferent return to the
parties concerned.
In tram littlo change scents to have taken plat, in
the position of the wheat and il•nir trade. Sellers had in
gcneral remained veil tirm' but uuyers having acted, with
extreme caution, there had been a great want of activity in
business.

From the Mediterranean we have nothing new to report;
prices of wheat remain relatively higher in that quarter
th:in in our market', and it iN therefore, not unlikely that
a portion of the autuagt shipment, from the Black Sea, ori-
ginally intended for England, may be retained on the other
aide of Gibraltar.

INCAUTIOUS Usti of Om:lL—Yesterday Mr. W.
Carter held an inquest at the Duke of York, public-
house, Swan-lane, Rotherhithe, respecting the death of
Emma Sums, aged live days. David Sines, a labourer,
residing at Nladbrook Farm, Rotherhithe, stated that the
deceased was his child, and from its birth had been in a
healthy erudition until Wednesday morning, when she
Feellloi to he buffering, front pain in the stomach. Mr.
Chandler, surgeon, culled to ace witness's wife, and ordered
the nurse to give the deceased a little dill water. Witness
accorningly proceeded to the slop of Mr. Allison, a chemist,
iu Itotherhithe-wall, but forgot when he reached the place
what he was to ask for. Mr. Allions mentioned the names
of several articles, and then recollected that it was dill
water, which he told Mr. Allison was hit an infant Mr. Alli-
son poured two light-coloured liquids into a phial, and then
something of a thick and dark character, charging witness it
penny, and directing hint to give the thild twenty drops in a
teaspoon. Witneas adminsterol the mixture as ordered.
In about two hours afterwards the deceased fell into a state
of stupor, accompanied with lib, and it died on Friday.
Mr. *I. Chandler, of No. 118, Faradise-street, said that the
deceased was a fine, healthy child, and on Wednesday last
he was aatonished at the eatruordinary change in its ap-
pearance. On asking what they had given it, witness was
ahown a phial containing dill water and syrup of poppies.
Witness was of opinion that the child had died from the
effects of a narestie. Mr. Allison was seat for, and, oiler
being cautioned by the coroner, suit the father asked for
Godfrey's cordial, which was given him, with directions
how to use it. 'the father was recalled, and denied this
assertion. The coroner summed up emit ' ' gto the jury
the various points of law let applicable. to the ease, when the
following verdict was returned—" 1 hat the devoted stied
nom an over-dour of a narcotic medicine containing syrup
of rippies, inadvertently adinisii3ter“l."
AS ELOPERLST AND Ira ItEscurs.—On Thuni
day last, or the following morning, the wife of a medical
gentleman, who carries on business at Ipswich, absented
herself from her hualiand'aroof ; suit it was soon rumoured
about the town that a gallant captain had accompanied her
in her flight. 11cr husband used every exertion to discover
the locality in which the p rties had taken up their abode,
but not until an hotel at Walton-on-the-Nas: was examined
could tidings of the absentees be gained. The husband
haring found his wife in that place, she was imme-
diately conducted by him home, to his house at Ipawich.
The following proceedings arc the denouSiaent of the affair:
At the Ipswich Town Mall, on Thursday last, while the
magistrates were disposing of the business before them,
Nurton Roe, a private in the dud Queen's Bays, now quar-
tered in the town, and who is servant to Captain Robert
Desmond Sullivan, of the same regiment, applied fur a war-
rant against Mr. Frederick William Johnson, surgeon, re-
aiding in Queen-street, fur having, on the sth of November
inst., at the Cavalry Barracks, threatened to " settle hint
and his master the first opportunity he could get at them;"
and that, from the above named and other threats used by
Mr. Johnson, he was fearful he would do complainant some
bodily harm, aim he therefore prayed that Mr Johnson
would be required to find sureties to keep the peace. The
coutplaitiaut said that when Mr. Johnson used the threat
he had pistols in his possession, and that he feared he would
have made use of them. The magistrates granted a war-
ram for the apprehension of Mr. Johnson, who
woo immediately taken into custody, and in a short
time he appeared before the magistrates. The com-
plainant was now about giving his evidence, when
he was stopped by Mr. Johnson, who said : May I ask
what is meant by threatening to settle Lim and his
master ? " I believe I might call hire a " scamp or a vil-
lain." I can't recollect that 1 threatened him; but I all
quite willing to enter into sureties of the peace if you
please. I however might nave said so, as I wait very angry
and much 'Ached. Thu Mayor (to Mr. Johnson) it is quite
clear you were threatening ti shout somebody yesterday.
Mr. Johnson—There is no doubt I hail pistols in my pocket.
The Mayor (after consulting with his brother magistrates)
—Tim magistrates feel it to be their duty in an outrage
of this Kind, to call upon you to find sureties in a large
ainanut. Mr. Johnson—The gentleman aunt me a challenge
the day before, but lie was afraid to conic up to the mark.
(Laughter.) I thick I ought to call upon him to find
sureties to keep the peace. The Mayor—Whoa men
are walking about with pistols, and talking about
tiring away at others, it is quite as likely that
they may shoot a person they did um intend as the one
inteuiled, and—Mr. Johnson (interrwaing his worship and
smiling)—Oh, no ; I would not do that either. I reckon
mach rather a " crack shot," I can :were you. I would
not shoot anybody else.—The Mayor : In such a case as
this the magistrates tent it to be their duty to adjudge that
you enter into sureties, yourself iu 2kff. and two others iu
the sum of ISOf. each, to keep the peace towards Norton
Roe and Captain Robert Desmond Sullivan, of the 2nd
Queen's Bays, and all other of her Nlajestv'e liege subjects,
for the space of 12 months. The requ.red sureties in the
persons of Mr. George Ransom, chemist, Ipswich, and
Mr. George Fenn, estate agent, ikeeles, were given, after
which Mr. Johuson was lliSCll3lged front custody.
TRIAL FOR MURDER IS FRANCE. —Two young
men, of Napolion-Vendie, named Chigot, one 26, the other
20 years of age, were tried last week befare the Court of
Assizes of La Vendie, for an attempt to murder Lieutenant
Ligier, of the north Regiment. The facts of the case were as
fellows:—The father and mother of the accused keep a
tobacco and snuff shop at Napoleon-Vendile, and base a
daughter between 16 anti 17 years of age, who serves in the
shop during their occasional absence. Lieut. Ligier, who was
one of their customers, was, it appears, in the habit of visiting
the shop frequently when M. Chigot and his wife were not
there, and one day, on their returning suddenly, they found
Lieut. Ligier kissing their daughter. They caprewcd to
M. Ligier their indignation at his conduct, and he
withdrew. When the sons came home, the father told
them what had occurred, and, after interrogating their
inter, they came to a conclusion that there had been a cri-
minal intimacy between her and M. Ligier, and they re-
solved to compel him to repair by marriage the dishouour
which he had brought on their family. They
.purchased
two pistols, which they loaded with ball, and, going to the I
lodgings of Lieut. Ligier, they called ,upon him to make or
paration, and presented ;to him a promise of marriage flit
his signature. Lieut. Ligier refused, and, according to the
statement of the prisoners, which however was denied by
M. Ligier, who appeared as a witness on the trial, Im
making this refusal, he indulged in a sort of boast of haws
ing dishondured their sister. The brothers then drat
their pistols. One ball struck Lieut. Ligier in the
the other entered his side, and inflicted so severe •
that he was confined more than sic weeks to hot bed.
Thinking they had killed their victim, the brothers want
to the prison to give themselves into custody for murdert
but the gaoler refused to receive them without a warrant of
commitment. They went away, but did not attempt to
escape, and were soon afterwards arrested. All these facts
were substantiated by the evidence, but Lieut. Ligier de-
clared that no other familiarity than what had been wit-
nessed by It. Chigot and his wife had existed between him
and the daughter. The jury returned a verdict of " not
guilty," and the court ordered the acquittal of the priso-
ners. There was great applause when the verdict was
returned, and a crowd assembled and escorted the two
brothers to their home in triumph.

MUNE 1' WA RKET.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLoci.

Arrangements for the Consol settling lave
some attention to-day, to-morrow being the
day fixed for the close of the account, and the ac-
tual business of the morning has consequently
not been upon an extensive scale. The operations,
however, are of a character calculated to sustain
the market, the more especially as they include
funk.: investments both in Consols and Reduced
Threes by the broker of the National
Debt Commissioners, and the full. advance

established yesterday has been supported. There
is nothing of striking importance in the ac-
counts from Paris, and the Bourse was rather dull.
The banking failure in that capital, referred to yes-1
terviay under this head, proves of much less impor-
tance than was at first apprehended.
Consols have ruled all day at the closing quotation
of yesterday's market, viz., 981 to 4, whilst for the
nett account the " continuation" may be taken at L..
The business figures are officially reported as fol-
lows:—Three per Cent. Consols, 98,', 1, ' • ditto for
account, 981, ; Three per Cents, Reduced, 973, •
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 983, a; India
stock, 264 • Bank Stock, 214, 2141.
The market for the floating debt wears a more
settled appearance to-day, and the quotation for
Exchequer Bills is more firmly fixed at 525. to 355.
prem. India Bonds also maintain their late ad-
vance, ruling nt 365. to 61s. prcm.
There is no change in the foreign stock market,
beyond an improvement in Buenos Aires Bonds,
which have been bought at 41 for this tune. There
is very little business going forward in any de-
scription, as the settlement of the account is so near
at hand. Mexican bonds have ruled at 251 to 1. The
amount of the remittances by the Great Western
is stated in our Southampton despatch at the
small sum of 20,942 dollars, but we have
not as yet heard from the authorities here whe-
ther or not any further sums ore to hand. The day's
business is as follows:—Buenos Avrcs Six per Cents.
for account 14th Nov. 433, 44. Danish Three per
Cents., 761, 1. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 584,
39. Mexican Bonds, for account, 251, 1. Portuguese
Four per Cents., 333. Russian Five per Cents.,lll3;
ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 1023. Sardinian
Five per Cents., 811.
There has not been so much movement in the
Californian gold mining shares treday, though this
department still engages a great deal of attention
in the Stock Exchange. Realisations have
been made, and the consequence is a de-
cline from the high rates of premium lately
current Present quotations are as follows : West
Mariposa shares, 7to prem. Ave Maria, 1 to;
prem. Aqua Fria, 11 to la prem. Nouveau
Monde, 1 to 1} prem.
' Several movements of bullion of some importance
are reported to-day. The Great Western, from the
West Indies, has brought in specie to the amount of
483,949 dole., or say 96,8001., and by the Em-
peror steamer, at Hull, from St. Petersburg,
has been received the sam of 97,0001., which
has already found its way into the Bank vaults.
On the other hand we have to record a ship.

nwnt of 232,3291. to the Brazils and Buenos Ayres
by the steamer Tay the greater portion of
this large sum being destined for the new
Bank at Rio Janeiro. The remittance by the
Great Western is smaller than was expected,
and from the proportion of silver bullion, being only
174,201 dole., the silver market will not receive any

considerable supplies.
The subjoined calculations show the rate per cent.
per annum yielded by the various securities cited at
the average of the pricea which ruled yesterday.
Where the asterisk (*) is prefixed it is to be under-
stood that the share rate of interest is less the in-
come tux, It will be seen that in every case we take
the rate of interest last declared as the basis of our
calculation. To render the calculation strictly accu-
rate, the proportion of interest which may have
accrued since last dividend period should, in each
case, be taken into account:

TALLOW MARKET.-THIS DAR.

The market remains very inactive. The heavy stock on
the spot tends to keep back the trade from purchasin4 more
than they require for their immediate wants; and the
supply 01 home produce throughout the co'intry being
great, it appears doubtful whether there will be a suffi-
ciently active demand this season for foreign Tallow to
produce a reaction in prices. Town Tallow is quoted
