March 13.-We have had • fair supply of Wheat
from the sear ports since this day week, but some quentity
harlot' be n previously placed, only a small proportion came
on the market, which has been very firm for all good sam-
ples, end such met ready sale as arrred. A good many
Beaus have els> come in, for which there exists a fair
consumptive demand when of good dry quality. Although
the week's import of Barley is moderate, that of the pre-
vious week being unsold, the market has been exceedingly
heavy, and sales dielcult to erect at a decline. Our Airmen
brcught a moderate sap* of Wheat for this d's market,
and the same was taken of by our millers at much about last
week's one's. A better show of foreign Wheat, but rot
moth of Hite quality. There were several buyers of such at
hyesterdays reduction in Mari-lane, with which, however,
olders were nnwilliog to comply, and the actual business
done was comparatively very limited ; the consumption in
the districts supplied by this port is now very great. We
quota Barley le. to 2s. lower, and the decline
seems likely to bring forward more buyers;

IPSWICH, March 13.-The supply of Wheat to-day was
good from the farmers, but trade particularly dull, scarcely
any demand for it, foreign hang obtained on much better
terms. Barley, of floe malting quality, maintained its valuer;
all other descriptions lower. Beans, Peas, and Oats must be
quoted about the same as last.

LIED', March 13.-We have a good reported snivel of
Wheat; the trade is slow, at rather under the rates of Fri.
ro day.
s. Haley as before. Oafs and Beans decline a little in
Fria Other articles unaltered.
LISIGHTON BUZZARD, March 13.-The supply of Wheat
at market was again very short, as of late; still, the few
sales made were at rates somewhat lower than last week.
Barley a fair sup; ly, and unuttered in value. Bears and
Peas, rather dr vino, in value. Wheat, per load of 6
bushels, 265. to 30s. Barley, malting, 28s. to 29e.; grind-
lag, 245. te 26.. per imp. qr. Beans, old, 22a. 6d. to 255. ;
new, 19.. to 22s 6d. per 6 bushels.
Lawns, Much 13.-The Wheat trade was very dull, and,
before sales could be mad*, a reduction of le. to 2.. per qr.
from last week's quotations was submitted to. Barley, Oats,
Beans, and Pen remain unchanged in value, although in
little demand. Seeds were more inquired for to day. Wheat,
cld, white, 131.5.. to 131. 15s. ; red, 121. to 121. 51. ; new,

LrrettPoot, March 13.-Although our market this morn-
ing was tolerably well attended by country millers, uo active
business was apparent, and it was only by holders of Wheat
submitting generally tm,n abatement of 3d. per 701bs. from
the currency of Tuesday last, that sales f British and
foreign to a fair extent were practicable. Home-made and
Irish Flow, being very unsaleable, must be considered
nominally cheaper, and States, together with Canadian, met
a slow limited demand from consumers alone, at a decline of
full Is. per barrel, superior brands of Western Canal rang-
ing between 245. and 245. 64. per 1961b5. Barley, Malt, and
Peas appeared to be taken sparingly on the terms last noted.
English, and the general qualities of European Beans,
moved slowly at scarcely former prices and Egyptians
receded Is. per qr. The Oat trade remaining dull, merely
curtained the reduced rates of Friday. Oatmeal, notwith-
standing few sales were effected, was held rather more
firmly at our last quotations. Indian Corn, irrespective of
the languid state of other grain, eontinned te eammand a
ready sae as the currency of this day week; Corn Meal,
nevertheless, teemed to be wholly neglected. Prices:

PLYMOUTH, Merck 13.—There was a attendants of
millers at this morning's market, but, owing to the further
decline in Mark-lane, not mach business was done ; the few
'sales made were at a decline of Is. per qr. from last week's
prices, and Flour has fallen Is. per sack. The imports are
only moderate, and stocks appear decreasing.
S&LIIIBCRT, Match 13.—The show of Wheat was large,
and a moderate attendance of farmers. Extreme dulness
prevailed, and the market had far advanced before any bag-
men was transacted, and at that stage a general decline of
from la. to 2s. Der quarter was submitted to. The demand
for good seed Barley was more animated, and prices remained
firm. Oats, Beans, aid Peas participated in ate general dal-
nos of the market ; but no quotable variation la prices took
place. The inquiry for Flout was small, and prices lower.

MANUFACTURES.—MTDDEESFISLD, March 13.
—Our Cloth•hall has been well attended, and a fair bold-
ness transacted in light colours. Low fancy goods are in
good request, at prices from 26. 10d. per yard to 45., and
comprise all kinds of make. The wool trade has been very
dull, scarcely anything doing in it; the little doing is all in
low qualities, and comprises a few Cape and Sydney pieces.
German Wools an also very bad to move, no inquiry for
them at all ; but, ere long, we may confidently expect to see
• fair business doing In the Wool trade, for the clothiers
have been working down their stocks, and must soon set k
to replenish them.

HOPS.—Boaocon likszst..— Menne. Pattenden and

CATTLE, &c.—DERRY, March 13.—There was a
mast excellent show of fat Beasts to-day, and we may say
some of them the beet quality which has been shown in our
market sines the commencement of the year ; high prices
ware asked for the best things, and it was with difficulty that
sales were effected, and there wets several left on hand.
There was a gold supply of fat Sheep ; wet of them ap-
peared to be mgood citiott, with the exception of two or
three lots, which have been driven from market to market,
sad which were again taken home or to same other market;
mese of the other Sheep were disposed of. Fat and store

DUBLIN CONSOLIDATION BILL.
Upon the motion that the Dublin Consolidation, Im-
provement, Water-works and Sewers Bill be read a second
Ili.
REYNOLDS said that he still entertained the ammo
elisstions to this measure which he had e :praised on a
ham occasion. He had hoped that the interval which
doped eines its first reading would have brought the pro-
iMetare to their senses. He would persevere It an amend-
Smut that the bill be read a second time that d.y six months.
Sir J. Y. BULLER moved that the second reading be
pesepeusd for a fortnight.
• Oa a division the latter proposition was carried by a ma-
jority of 10, the numbers 110 to 100.
TIN Dahlia Corporstion Water Works Bill and the Dah-
lia Improvement Bill, measures ultimately connected with
the preceding, were also postponed for the earn period.
DUBLIN CORPORATION WA rIIRWORKS BILL.—

DUBLIN IMPROVEMENT BILL.
Them bills (after a few words from Mr. HiIIYNOLIMI and
Mr. Nixing) were also ordered to be read a second time
that day fortnight.
EASTERN UNION AND EASTERN COUNTIES
RAILWAY COMPANIES (AMENDMENT OF ACTS
AND POWER TO LEASE, SELL, OE AMALGA-
MATE TO OR WITH THE EASTERN COUNTIES
RAILWAY COMPANY) BILL.
On the order of the day for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. AGLIONBY moved that it be read a second time
that day six months, on the ground that it was objectionable
in principle on the very face of it. It propesed to raise
71,0001., in addition to 9,0,0001. already raised, and autho-
rised the merging in the company of shares on which the
Galls were not paid up, for the purpose of a re-issue, thus
depriving the original shareholder of his interest, end creat-
ing a new body of shareholders.

Mr. COBBOLD defended the bill. but owing to the eon
versation going on in the house hie remarks were wholly in-
audible.

Mr. BROTRERTON said the bill was a very objection-
able one, but hoped his hon. friend wouli withdraw his
amendment, and move the postponement of the bill for •
fortnight.

Mr. IiUME thought it would not be fair thus suddenly to

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Mr. ADDERLEY asked the—Under Secretary for the
Colonies whether he would lay before the house those com-
munications which have been stated to have been lately re-
erived from the Governor of the Cape, intimating that the
announcement of his intention to send convicts to that set-
tlement had excited very general dissatisfaction amsne the
col meta? Also, to what part of the settlement convicts will
be sent, and whether under any further restraint that' is
supposed to exist in a ticket of leave ?
Mr. HAWES said that no such communications had been
received, and Earl Orey had nu information on the subject
except what was supplied by the local papers.
Lord MAHON hoped that whsn any official communica-
tion reached the colonial-office it would be laid before them.
Mr. HAWES was understood to my it should.
_ _ SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

Mr. G. BANDAR'S put the following question to Vis-
count Palmerton As the armistice between the Danish
and Russian governments on the affairs of Sohleawlg-Rol-
stens is to cease on the 28th instant, and as there exists great
desire on the part of the merchants trading to the Ribs and
the ports on the Baltic to know the present state of the
1 question I beg to ask whether, after the 26th inst. the noble
lord anticipate. a »newel of hostilities, and a blockading of
the ports under the Germania Confederation, and, it so,
whether the property of British merchants, in either British
or foreign ships, will be held free from captureand forfeiture ?

LordPALMERSTON.—I admit that the question of the
boo. member is one of great interest. It is of great impor-
tance' not only to this country, bat to the commerce of the
north of Burepe, that a successful termination should be put
to the negotiations now going *D. It is true that the Danish
government have given notice, as they were entitled to:do,
upon the conditions of the convention of Malmoe, of the ter-
palpation of that convention on the 28th of the present
month. But in giving that notice to the parties concerned,
they have at the same time declared officially and
in writing, that it is not their intention to recommence hos-
' Wide., and that their object in announcing the termination
of the armistice is rather a wish to make some provisional
ant with regard to the government of the duchies
rigortrin and Schleswig. With regard to the state in which
the matter now stands, all I can say is, that her Majesty's
government are endeavouring to bring the two parties to an
understanding, not merely upon the points at issue respect-
ing the suspension of hostilities, but as to the basis of a per-
manent arrangement. I can enure the hon. gentleman, that
no effort shall be wanting on the part of her Msj'sty'e
government to bring those two parties to an understanding;
and when I consider the vast magnitude of the interests at
stake, and the serious and extensive, and I may say disas-
trous csnesquences that may arise from a renewed rupture
between the contending parties, I cannot but believe that
that spirit of conciliation which animates both parties will
lead them to an understanding, with a view to a final ar-
rangement for a permanent peace.

IRISH PAUPERS.
Mr. H. HERBERT wished to know if her Majesty's go-
vernment intended any chaage in the law respecting the
transmission of Irish paupers from this country ? He un-
derstood that it was stated by a deputation to the right hon.
baronet on Saturday that 12,000 Irish paupers had been
landed at Belfast hum this country.

Sir G. GREY said that such a statement had been made
to him ea represented, but he had no other authority
for it, and doubted if the number could be so
great. They were paupers having no settlement
in this country and were removed from Glasgow.
On hearing the facts of the case, he had stated that the de-
potation certainly had some ground of complaint, owing to
the maintenance of paupers who did not belong to it being
thrown upon Belfast; and he had said that he should be
happy to hear any proposal for amending the law in this
respect. He had not, however, IS yet, heard any proposal
which, on the part of the government, he could protaise sup-
port. Since receiving that deputation, he had received one
from Scotland, stating that there wan a society in existence at
Belfast, supported by voluntary subscriptions, the object of
which was to return back to Scotland, by paying their fares
in the steamers, those paupers who had been legally removed
to Ireland, and were thus illegally removed back again.
(Hear, hear.)

Mr. J. O.6ONNELL wished to ask the right hon. bare.
net if he had received any information from the Glasgow de•
newton that, in feet, a very large number of the persons so
sent over to Belfast were panne who had been resident in
Scotland, perhaps in Glasgow itself—adding to the wealth of
Glasgow—(great laughter)--during many years ?

Si; G. GREY said that be had, certainly, heard com-
plaints of improper removals having been made from Scot-
land. Those complaints bad been investigated, and though
in one case it was alleged that the pauper had been resident
some time in Scotland, yet he had been born in Ireland, and
had become chargeable in Scotland, otherwise he could not
have been removed.
