COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—THIS DAY.
The supply of English Wheat at market this morning by
land carriage samples from the near couuties was only
underate. All good ery qualities were readily sold at fully
Ilast Monday's quotations, whilst secondary and inferior
moved off slowly at that day's currency. Baltic red and
Dantzic white Wheat were saleable in retail at form, r
prices ; but Black Sea and Waite rranean descriptions, on
the spot, were easier to purchase. Several transactions took
place at the chore of last week, in cargoes arrived off the
coast, at full prices.
Barley was in lair request, and fully as dear as before.
Oats were in short supply, and, although the turn in
price was against ;he buyer, no general advance can be
quoted.
Deans and Peas maintained the currency of this day
se'nnight.
The Cloverseed trade was without, much life, at the same
time holders were firm in their demands.

SMITHFIELD. MARKET.—THIS DAY.
There is a very considerable increase in the supply of
Beasts, consequently trade is slow, and price, are lower
than on Monday last. Several middling one, remain un-
sold. The number of Sheep is also much larger, and prices
are rather lower, but a fair clearance is effected. Lamb is
more in request, and rather dearer. Calves are more plen-
Itiful, and trade is scarcely as good as of late. From tier-
' many and Holland there are 902 Bents, 1,250 Sheep and
176 Calves ; Spain. 370 Beasts ; Scotland, 700; Norfolk and
Suffolk, 2,100; and 250 from the Northers and Midland

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.—THIS DAY.
Messrs. Pattenden and Smith report that there is sill
a fair demand for Hops of last year's growth at late prices.
Old Hops are much in request, both for consumption and
exportation, as also far speculation, at improving prices.

SOUTH WARK POTATO MARKET.—THIS DAY.
Since our lut report there have been large arrivals
coastwise, foreign, and by nil, which, coupled with the fine
weather, have caused:a reaction in the trade, and prices have
declined fully 10s. per ton. The following are this day's
prices : York Regents, 110+. to 1603.; Lincolnshire. Ods.
to 1203. ; Scotch, 100 s. to 120 s. ; ditto reds, 90s. to 100 s. ;

THE PEACE QUESTION.—On Saturday at the
Marylebone Vestry, Mr. James Bell, M.P., moved that a
numerously signed memorial, praying the use of the Court-
house for a public meeting to petition her Majesty I. exer-
cise her influence to prevent the further hostile occupation
of the Boman States by France and Austria, be granted.
As a friend of peace he heartily supported the prayer of the
memorial, which it would be a disgrace to the parish to re-
fuse. Mr. Swaine seconded the motion, also as a friend of
peace. Mr. Northaw Laurie had no objection to the rate-
payers having the use of the Court-house, for it was their
undoubted right. Still he firmly believed that if the peace
of Europe was endangered by any party it was by the i'eace
Society, and not the war party. In granting the use of
court the Vestry should not express any opinion one way or
the other, upon the subject. A recent example proved
how public opinion could he distorted abroad. Certain
parties calling themselves the bankers and merchants of
London, by managing some bole-and-corner proceedings,
deputed themselves to France, but under circumstances of
grave suspicion that the journey wa., in fact, connected
with French railways. Mr. Nicholay—The people of Lon-
don knew nothing about the meeting or the deputation
alluded to until a long list of names appeared in the news-
papers. But many who signed the list were made a cat's-
paw, and were wholly ignorant of the object of its origi-
nators. As regarded the memorial before the board he was
glad to find that the ratepayers had the spirit to express
boldly their opinions. Sir P. Laurie—lt was a hole-and-
corner meeting. Mr. Swaine—lt must have been a large
hole-and-corner meeting that reckoned 4,000. Mr. D'ltfan-
ger, sen., supported the memorial. Mr. Rowe moved, and
Mr. Ilersehlon seconded the next business, which was lost,
and the original motion carried. _

ItECOVZRY Ok' SPANISH CREDIT.—The Spanish
government, we see, has concluded another loan, to the
amount of 500,000,000 reale, with the hou.c of Baring.
We did not think that the credit of Spain could have so
much reality. We hope the results of this trauFaction to
the eminent capitalists may not prove wholly devoid of in-
terest. Punch.

TIIE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT DIXONFOLD.

—lt is stated that Mr. Caratti, the Greek merchant, who
was seriously hurt on the occasion of the above calamity, is
about to bring an action against the Lincolnshire and York-
shire Company, and claims compensation to the amount of
20,000/. Other claims arising out of the same disaster have
already been met by a most profuse expenditure of money.
CIIILD-STRIPPING.—This detestable crime appears
to be on the increase in G:asgow. On Monday, one female
was sentenced to be imprisoned GO days, for an offence of
this description.
ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following
gentlemen were admitted members on the 1.4 instant
Messrs. Thomas Frederick Hale, Pctworth, Sussex ; John
Matthew Biddle,,Army ; John Tweddle, Carlisle; George
Male Daly, Calcutta ; Thomas Dandy, Ruffbril, Lanca-
shire; Alfred Playoe, Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire;
William Lucy, Greenwich ; Henry Hunter Raymond, Ci-
encester, Gloucestershire; William v dMoss, London:

Bold.__
and William Naylor Nempster, Whitchureb, Salop.
CENTRAL :CRTMINAL COURT.—The April session
of the Central C•imival Court commences this morning,
after a rather longer than usual interval, owing to the
spring circuits. There are at present more than a hundred
prisoners for trial. The judges who 'are upon the rota to
attend arc Mr. Justice Manic, Mr. Justice Eric, and Mr
Baron Platt.

PRICE OF COALS AT FOREIGN COALING STATIONS.

—Some idea may be formed of the scarcity, and consea tient
high price, of coals at foreign coaling stations from the
fact that the captain of the Great Britain steamer, who put
in at Vigo on the 29th ult. for coals, on his way from
Australia to Liverpool, paid Os. a ton for 400 tons at the
tint mentioned port. _ _

Tin CONTEST.—On Saturday the
sharp contest which has been going on during the past
week in the parish of St. James' Clerkenwell, for the office
of vestry clerk, was concluded. At the close of the poll, at
3 o'clock, it was announced that the numbers polled were
as follows: Mr. Wakeling, 1,460; Mr. March, 1,056;
majority for Mr. Wakeling, 410; whereupon Mr. Wakeling
was declared to be duly elected.
