BELFAST, JAN. 22.—The supplies of all kinds of grain
have increased, and the demand having abated, prices have
at last turned in favour of the buyer, and it is evident stocks
generally are greater than was at one time imagined. Far-
mers' Wheat has declined about 3d. per cwt. from the rates
of this day se'enight; and parcels, es ship or *tore, must be
quoted at a decline of .6s. to 10s. per ton. Flour must be
quoted Is. per cart , and about Is. per barrel dearer, but the
demand hos fallen off. Barley is still mane, and prices of
this article are maintained. Oats are not so firm a sale, and
prices must be quoted 2d. to 3d per cwt. lower. °stoical
mu►t also he quoted at • decline of 6d. per cwt. With fur•
they arrivals of Indian Corn, and a more limited demand,
prices of both Indian Corn and Meal have given way from
tr. to 10s. per ton.
CORK, Jai. 22.—The trade in Wheat in the early part of
the week tended upwards, and higher prices were asked and
obtained, but during the last day or two the market has
been lea animated. In prepared Wheat same business has
been done at advanced rates. The estravairant terms
demanded by holden have, however, checked business.
Barley, which in the early put of the week was sold.at
greatly enhanced terms, has also been slightly affected by
the announcement in the speech from the throne, end the
market is quiet in conseqconce. Onto are in demand and Is.
per barrel dearer. For Flour millers have advanced the
price of their best brands to 30s. per cwt. These terms
however are not yet obtainable. For Indian Coen higher
rate* have been asked, and this has checkeiEsales. For
Indian Corn Meal, Oatmeal, and Wheat Meal we have a
les. animated demand, and in fact the trade in all bread-
stuff may be called quiet.

prices. The value of bread stuffs continues unchanged, with
rather lets in,lination on the part of dealers to go more into
stock.

SI.MO, JAN. 23.—A large supply of Indian Meal in port,
but not sufficient for the consumption, and the people in a
starving condition. Oats, 23e. Gd. to 2445 Gd. per barrel. Oat-

WAYEnroun, JAN. 23.—The changes announced in the 11
Queen's speech for facilitating the import of foreign corn.
have had the effect of slightly increasing our supplies of
wheat from neighbouring farmers; a check has thus been
given to the upward tendency of our market, hut the el-
tensive demand for bread stuffs for the interior prevents any
decline in prices. The quotations of Wednesday, the:dote,
must be repeated.

POTATOES.—SOUTHWARK, WATRRSIDE, J.
In consequence of the contrary winds, there were but few
arrivals to this market during the past week.. The con-
sumption was very small, caused by the high prices; and but
few salts were effected, the buyers being in daily expectation
of a more liberal supply. Tho following are our present
prices:—York Regents, 200 s. to 2405. Lincoln and Cam-
bridgeshire Regents, 140 s. to 1804.; kidneys, 1404. to 150 r.

Baantronn.—There is but little doing in any kind of
combing Wool, which is entirely attributable to the price
demanded being too high to enable the spinners to realise
prime cost, and the inclination to buy is materially checked
to coneequence. Brakes and Noils are ready sale, without
change in prices.
LEFIA.—We have had a steady demand for English Wool
during the week. Priors are well supported, but there is
some difficulty in getting supplies flown growers to meet the
prices current here. Foreign has been in limited demand,
but no particular, or, indeed, apparent change has occurred
in the valuation.
LEICESTER.—PI ices Still remlin firm.

LIVERPOOT..—In foreign Wool there has been *cry little
done this week, but prices continue firm. The unsettled
state of monetary affairs induces the trade to act with cau-
tion, and to cinitinc their purchases to present requiremmti.
Nothing to report in Alpacha, and holdrrs are firm in their
expectations. In Scotch, Chet lots have been rather more in
request ; hut, to effect sales, it is necessary to submit to low
prices. Other kinds err quite neglected. Imports for the
week ending Jan. 23.. —Foreign, 356; preciously, 1106;
total, 922 bales. Scotch, 102; previously, 352; total, 454 bales.

WAR EFIELTE—We have bad few sales pas‘ing during the

CATTLE, &c. SatITTIFIELD, Two o' Clock
The supply of fat Beasts is not quite so large as was expected ;
there are• however, more than sufficient for the demand. It
is with difficulty Friday's quotations are supported • for the
best qualities, fully 2d. per Alb. lower than Monday last.
We have about 1,000 from Norfolk and Suffolk ; nearly 200
from Holland ; about 200 from Scotland; and the remainder
from various parts of the country. The number of Sheep
is considerably larger, and the trade exceedingly heavy. The
dead markets being over-stocked with meat, we have a very
scanty attendance of buyers, and prices are redact d, be. ni
the extrema for choicest Downs ; many very good ones do not
reach that figure. From liolland and Germany we have
500 Sheep. The trade for Calves, although net very brisk,
continues as good, owing 2o the very short supply ;there were
about 20 from Holland. The number of Pigs is larger, and
trade hardly **good.

ESISTER, JAN. 22.—The market this Dimming has been
but moderately supplied—but the demand being dull, prima
bane generally ruled lower than last week. The very beet
fat Beef was sold for 9s. 6d. ; and very good at 9s. Poor
I Bullocks were scarce, but not much asked for, the average
being about 6s. per score. There was a fair demand for Cows
and Calves, at from 101. to 181. each. Butchers' Calves seen
rather more plentiful than of late, and selling at 6d. to 61d.
per lb. Prime large Nether Sheep sold at 6d. per lb., but
small fat Sheep, welhing from 181b.' to 221 b. par 9oarter,
were worth full 61d. per lb. The supply of store rigs was
small, but more than sufficient for the demand.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—SATURDAY, J. 23.
Shortly before five o'clock the Earl of Shaftesbury tookll4
seat on the woolsack as Deputy Speaker.
CORN IMPORTATION AND NAVIGATION LAWS
SUSPENSION BILLS.—A massage from the Douse al •
Commons by Mr. Gimes r and other hon. members brought
up tin se bulb, to which they desired their lordships coo
currener.

On the motion of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE both the
bills were rtad a tirst time and ordered to he printed. The
Noble Marquis also gave notice that at the siqing of the
houm on Monday next he should mono the suspension of the
standing orders, with a view to facilitate the progress of them
two meentresthrough all their ctagca on that day.
Lord STANLEY said he understood his noble friend op
posits to state that he meant to confine his °Doreen( pro-
ceeding as to the suspension of the mantling orders to the two
hills just brought up, both of which were temporary mea-
sures to meet the existing exigencies of the country, and of
which it was not intended to carry their operations beyond
the lst day of September next. He (Lord Stanle' ) thought
it right to tell his noble friend that there would not be any
opposition from any quarter to his taking steps for punters
those bills through all their stages on Mondey. He
however, must express the regret with whiel he ha_
learned the determination of her Majesty's government
to pass simultaneously with these bills a measure for
the admission of sugar and molasses for the pur-
pose% of distillation. lie should have been glad if
this measure was to be introduced to meet only the tem-
porary difficulties which existed, as if so, it might have
been Fused without delay or opposition—indeed. with um-
nimity ; but when it was proposed to introduce this bill not
as a temporary but a permanent memory, it meld not be
expected to be allowed to pass with the same shone:. of
discussion as the other two measure.. A good deal of in.
formation would be required s‘ to the practical 11 orking of
the details or the proposed measure, particularly after the
alteration made
-in Me 'Agar duties lost year eaalawkiele

to ceabe

would be !equated, and without knowing what mune the
llouse of Commons might take, be (Lord Stanley) would
ark the noble marquis opnesitu whether, in the event of the
government persevering with that bill, there would be any
objection, for the purpose of far inquiry, to refer it when it
came up to this house to th.. esaminstian of n select com-
mittee, not for the purposis of delay, lot in order to sift and
ascertain by rum ro-e evidence the probable effects upon
the revenue end commerce of the countiy, which the
adoption of the measure mitht produce. It such a course
were not adopted, this would be • mearare calculated to
alarm the agricultural interest of the country. If it
emad be proved that the operation of this bill
was not to increase the pries, thr I ought to let
the Lumen have the opportunity of seeing the farts
in a mere detailed form than it was possible for
them to see them in a mere reference to casual debates in
parliament. The noble ren:quis had also said that he should
on Monday move for some returns in relation to the state of
Ireland. Ile (Lord Starlit y) had heard it rumoured that it
was intended to postpone :.ay farther diteussion on the
motion until an opportunity occurred at a later period, or
of taking tho discussion on the bringing up of the bills from
the Heinz of Common:. Did the noble marquis intend to
make his statement oo Monday, and then adjourn the dis-
euteion until the papers he incised for were in the hands of
their lerdehips, and they were thereby enabled to de:l with
the reattve not hr detail or in

The MARQUIS of LANSDOWNE replied, that hothing
could he more correct than the statement of the noble lord,
that it was intended to make the two bills now on the table
temporary and not perrnaneot mrneuree. The noble lord
had also stated tr.ly, that tee et:. r measure, in relation
to the sugar duties, in reference to distillation, was intended
to be a permanent measure, aid, under no circumstances,
should he wish to propoee that it should rem through all its
stages in one night. On the contrary, every opportunity
I would be afforded to their lordships to give the fullest
' consideration. As to the suggestion for referring the bill to
a select committee, that wouli depend upon the state in
'Aids it cane! up rom the other house, and the =de in
which it had been dealt with thee.. At present he should
be very sorry to express any determination against the adop-
tion of ji a course, though lie was lin% Ming to p'edge
himself now th it it would be Wispiest. With respect to the
procsa-higs on Mondny next, he had stated on a former otsca-
smi, that he intended to mote for the production of papyrus
re.t:ion to Ireland. Thcse papers were of a massive and
voluminoas character, comprising the correspondence a hich
had take. flare between her Majesty's eovernment Rah va-
rious parties in Ireland, on the subject of the scarcity of
food in that port of the realm. De should he ivory to
adjourn the discussion on his nvh.ion, if any should arise' se
within a day or too after the motion was made, some of the
bills intended for Ireland would come up, and upon them
their lordships could take arty dischaion they might think fit.
herd BROUGHAM said that no doubt the corn end
navigation laws ought, under exjsting circumstances, to be
suspended fur a given time, but as to the third measure
which woe intended to Ise permanent, be was not willing to
give it his ready assent. They might as well think of se►
pending the standing orders, with a vlew to repeal the Habeas
Corpus Act, or the Act of Settlement, es to suspend them in
order to plus a permanent measure so et-newly affecting the
commerce of the country, and the question of slavery TI ere
was a question on another subject, on which he (Lord
Broughani) klt the deepest interest, which he wished to rut.
He ohsened from what had transpired in soother place, that
the carding Poor-laws had been shaken to their foundatiiin;
he could not disguise from himself the fret that clamour and
unserupalous agitation bad produced their effect; that' the
prewure from w ithosit had prevailed, and that great was the
joy of the author of the clamour which had been rabid,
partly in gratification of personal spleen, and partly fr es
senseless theories which clothed themselves in the Irani of
humanity, but which were most cruel to the people. (Hear.)
He hoped that the bill would be introduced in a manr.er
which would ensure for it the most deliberate cotudderatis n„
and that no part, not an inch of that corner-atone of the
'retail—the centre authority, should be interfered with
with.ait the greatest tireumspection and the most mature
considerdion. The question he wished to ask war, whether
it would not lie well to originate the measure that wee to
off, et the existing Poor-laws us that house, where it would
be calmly end slisparsioontely discussed, than in the Howe
of Commons where such a aide of proceeding was im-
possible.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE observed that he hal
every reason to believe that the measure to which his noble
and learned friend had last alluded, would be tint intro-
duced in their lordships' house, nod would not in any
depne impair the foundation of the existing law ; on Ow
contrary it woul I be designed with a view to give additional
efficacy to its working,
Earl FITZWII.LIAM concurred with his noble and
learned friend (Lord Brougham) that the Poor-law Bill
ought to originate in that liouee.—The conversation hens
terminated.

PRISON —On the motion of the Marquir
of LANSDOWNE an address to the Queen for a copy of
the report of the commissioner" appointed in August lest to
inquire into the management of Milbank l'rison, was
agreed to.
RAILWAY BILLS. —On the motion of Lord
BROUGHAM two resolutions, apreed to by the house on
tho 3rd July, 184 i, relative to railway and pnvate bill were
ordered to be made atsnding orders.
. . . .

Their lordships then adjourned to Mowlay (this day).
