was very short in supply, and veryhigh prices vicre'sub-
milted to.

BARNALIET, J*.n. 20.-We had *moderate supply of grain,
especially Wheat. in which a full average business was done
at an advanve of Is. per three tushels. In Barley, for milt-
ing purposes (owing to the mention in the Queen's speech of
sugar being used in breweries), there was not much business
dune, although the price was firm. Oats may lie quoted from
ls. to 23. per qr. dearer. Beans and Peas stationary.
BIRMINGHAM, JAN. N.-At this day's market there was
again a large supply of English Wheat, and the trade ruled
very dull, at a reduction of 11. to 2s. per quarter. Barley
ineffectually offered, at a reduction of 3s. to 4s. per quarter.
Oats held for an cdvance of Is. per quarter. Beans nomi-
nally unaltered. Peas fully. as dear. During the present
week very few transactions in Wheat are reported, hut for
the parcels which changed hands fully as high rates were
obtained. In Barley nothing doing. Oats held for prices
which have quite stopped sales. On Beans the turn
is in favour of the buyer. Very few Peas offering.

BRISTOL, JAN. 21.—We bad a fair attendance of farmers;
millers not eager buyers, at the advanced prices of last
week, which are firmly demanded for Wheat. Barley is in
less demand; some sales of Devon were made at 5.35. to 66a.;
middling malting qualities at full prices. Oats scarce, and, to-
gether with Berns, may he considered 3s. to is. per qr. higher
than last week, say 32.. light black, up to iflv. to 425. per
qr. heavy white ; some Irish black Oats sold at 365. per imp.
qr. Flour as last week.
- - - -

CRANBItOuR, JAN. 20.-This day our trade was anything
but brisk ; for Wheat there was a disposition to hold off
buying for the present. Very high prices were given for
Lent Corn, and the supply of that was very short.
Devizes, JAN. 21.-We were liberally supplied with
Wheat to-day, but the sales were heavy at 6d. a sack under
the prices of last week. In the Barley trade there was
scarcely a single sale effected. There was a difference of at
least 10s. a quarter between the prices asked by the seller
and offered by the buyer. Beans and Peas maintain last
we,k's prices. and were in active demand. Wheat, per qr.,
best white, 755. to 83a. ; red 6.55. to 80e. ; inferior do., 495,
to 635. Barley 435. to WM. Oats, 301. to 38s. Beam, 50s. '

GAINSOOOOUOII, JAN. 19.-The advance of Is. to 2s. per
qr. on Wheat at Mark-lane on Monday had a corresponding
influence on this market. Last week's quotations were fully
maintained ; and in some cases an advance as above stated.
NEWBURY, JAN. 21.-Our supply of Wheat is tolerably
good, which met a steady sale, at fully the rates of last week.
I here was a considerable Ripply of Barley, and full 4s. per qr.
cheaper, and not a clearance effected. Oats in demand, and 2s.
to 3s. dearer ; more doing in Beans and Peas. Averages to
the 16th Jan., 1847.-709 p.. of Wheat, at 695. 7d. ; 693
Barley, 52e. 3d. ; 120 Oats, 26v. 9d. ; 14 Peas, 555. Id.
PLYMOUTH, Jaw. 21.-There was a large attendance at
this morning's market. Wheat maintained its price. Barley
was 2s. to 4s. lower. Flour the same price as on Monday.
SHETYIELD, JAN. 18.-At our market to-dwe were
moderately supplied with all kinds of grain. Wheat of a
superior quality was disposed of at an advance of sd. per
load from our last quotations, and inferior sorts barely main-
tained last week's prices. Barley Beans, and Peas a shade
higher. We may sled notice a slight advance in the price of
Oats. Wheat, red, 2.55. 6d, to 28s. 6.d. ; fine, 28s. 6d. to 30a. 6d.;

555. 6d. Oats, 28e. 6d. to 355. 6d.
. .

STOCKBRIDGE, JAN. 21. - Though we cannot quote
Wheats to be lower, yet very little sold. Flour and Bread
remain RA last week. In Barley but little doing. Oats
appeared the only article saleable.
Srociirox-ori-Teas, JAN. 20.-The market is very largely
supplied with Carmen' Wheat, which meets a good demand
at last week's prices. The roaring arrivals continue large,
and in the basilic,. transacted 2.. per quarter advance is es-
tablished. Malting Barley sells at our quotations. OW are
in active request, at 2s. per quarter advance. Beans and
Peas sell readily, at 2a. per quarter more money. Flour re-
mains the same. With a change to open weather, we
expect very small supplies of grain from our farmers,
as many of their farm-yards are nearly empty of stacks.

EDINAVROH, JAN. 20.—The supply of Wheat, Barley,
and Oats from the growers at this morning's market, was
one of the largest we have had for some time put. Wheat
met a slow sale at about the prices of this day se'nnight.

GLASGOW, Jaw. 20.-Since the 13th instant, the sup-
plies at Grangemouth have amounted to 6,400 quarters
Wheat; 2,700 Barley ; 1,800 Oats; and 1,060 loads Oat-
meal; bat there have been no imports from abroad or from
Ireland. A large business has occurred during the week in
Wheat and Flour, principally with Irish buyers, at advancing
prices, mid all other grain ham been in request ; but business
has been restricted by the limited quantity offering. There
was a crowded market this morning and several Trish
buyers; but the hifla rates asked for all articles prevented a
great extent of Mumma being done. We have, however, to
raise our quotatieaa for the week 2s. per boll for Wheat, 39.

From Holland there are 41 • Scotland, 140 ; Norfolk and
Suffolk, 80, and 132 milch Cows ; and the remainder from
various parts of the country. The number of Sheep is also
small, but, from the same cause., there is great difficulty in
effecting sales at a reduction. The trade for Calves is hardly
so brisk, but ss. 4d. is still obtained for a very choice one.
Pigs are rather more in request; late rates are fully sup-
ported :

PURCHASE OF CALIFORNIA BY THE UNITED
STATES.—Lord BROUGHAM 'legged to ask a question
of hi, noble friend (the Marquis of Lansdowne) in relation
to some inrellixence which he hail beard of nn extraordinary
trannoction between the United States and Mexico. He un-
derstood that a huge sum had been offered by the former
state to Mexico for the surrender of Califernia. He did not
mean to say that Mexico bad done it on credit, for they must
hove some knowledge of the American doctrine of repu-
diation.

The Mttrqms of LANSDOWNE was aware that such an
offer had been made, but not that it had been accepted.
Lord BROUGHAM—Perhaps Mexico relined because no
money was offered.

DOWNE gave notice that on Monday next he should move

mill that the money raised under the Labour Rate Act
ought immediately to be repaid. He gave no opinion on
the subject; but mid it would dep. nil on parliament and
the country whether money which had been so laid out,
and the greet r part of which hid been wasted, should not
be repaid. He thought that both the late and the present
government were to alms for the recent legislation for Ire-
land.

MEXICAN LETTERS OF MARQUE.—Mr. ROE
BUCK. begged to put two questions, of which be had given
notice, to the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. It
ISM said that there was an agent from the Mexican govern-
meet in this country, who had established an office, from
which he was ready to issue, to any person willing to demand
them, haters of marque against the United States, and also '
letters of naturalisation, to protect those who were not native-
born Mexicans in acting under those letters of marque. His
first question wan, whether or not any notice had been taken
of this office, and the presence of inch an agent in the neutral
territory of a friendly nation, by the minister from the United '
States; and if so, what answer bad been given by our govern- '
meat as to the pert they had taken ? The next question '
related to a more complicated matter. If persons of other '
countries were found hav:ng those acts of naturalisation, and
fighting under those letters of marque, it was said to be the
determination of the American government to hang such
persons, notwithstanding those letters of naturalisation. This
was a gross violation of the principles of international law.
He therefore wished to know from the noble lord, if any steps
bad been taken to prevent such! a disaster; and what cor- '
respondence, if any, had taken place on the subject ?
Viscount PALMERSTON said, that with regard to the
Snit question, her Majesty's government had no knowledge
of thy fact th it there was now any agent in London autho-
rised, on the part of the Mexican jeovernment, to issue letters
of marque and naturalisation. 'I he only fact bearing upon
the subject was an advertisement which had been tendered
to the Times, and refused insertion, from which it appeared
that a Mr. Barge (or Barge) wished to adopt an ingenious
way of advertising his shop or warehouse, and announced
that at his shop might be seen • copy of the decree of the
Mexican government, authorising these letters of marque.
But, in the letter which he had afterwards written to the
Times, this person stated that he was not authorised to issue
these letters, nor did he know that any other person was
Probably, ell that he had wanted was to attract customers.
The only communication that had taken place between her
Majesty's government and that of the United States. was a
verbal one between the American minister and himself.
The American minister had heard something of this sort,
and he expressed a hope that the British government would
not pi rmit any proceeding to take place which was incon-
eistent with the position of neutrality assumed by this own-
try in the dispute between Mexico and:America. He (Lord '
Palmerston) had assured the American =inkier. that
though he was uninformed as to the cireaaramar iYadatt
to, the position of this country was one of MAI
impartiality and neutrality, and that the sroveraimit weal& ;
sanction nothing which was inconsistent with ruck a politiaa.
He had since referred the question to the law advisees et tits
government, in order to know, supposing sack ham of
marque were iesued here, what step. the British geosemest
would be authorised in taking to prevent any hostile prepa-
ration, in this couht•ry with • view to aggressions upon the '
United States. With respect to the other question, it was
quite true that, some time ago, notice was issued by the go- '
vernment of the United States that they would treat as pirates '
any fore*ners found in the Mexican service ; and he had
considered it his duty to instruct Mr. Pakenham to express
to the American government his expectation that the United
States would not apply to British subjects the execution of
this threat. For not only was there the objection which the
hon. and learned gentleman had mentioned, but the subjects
of ono country might, by a short process, become naturalised
Ica another. It would be remembered that, during the last
war, there were sailors in our navy of various nations—
Danes, Swedes, and others; and they were always considered
entitled to be tr.-sated in the same way sa other prisoners of
war when taken. The United States themselves, in Their
abort war against us, had employed British subjects in their
navy; and yet no threat of execution had been held out
against them.
THE CHANNEL ISLANDS COMMISSION.—Dr.
BO WRING wished to ask the right hon. the Secretary for
the Home Department, whether the commissioners ap-
pointed to inquire into the state of the Channel Islands bad
made any report, and whether government was disposed to
lay it on the table of the house ?
Sir G. GREY said the commissioners had concluded their
investigation ; but as they would require Lome time to digest
their materials, and arrange their report, that report had
not yet been received, but he believed it was in course of pre-
paration.
S MEASURES.—Mr. HINE asked the I ord
Advocate what measures were ie.ended to be brought in
relative to the law of Scotland, in consequence of the recom-
mendations of previous cou.missions ? He had put this
question towards the clam of last session, when the right
