THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE BOURSE.

Our Paris correspondent writes: There has been
• revolution in the office of the Patric. Tho following very
extraordinary announcement, signed by the proprietor, ap-
pears at the head of its columns to-da, :
"According to information which has reached us, the
public has for some time past observed with displeasure the
too frequent presence at the Bourse of several persons con-
nected with this journal. In this the public is right. We
think with the public that a journal cannot deserve con-
fidence unless it avoids incurring suspicions of any kind. So
far as we ourselves are personally conctincd, we feel it
right to declare, what for the rest the public knows
already, that we never indulged in any specu-
lation at the Bonne. But this is not enough.
We consider it essential that the same thou d be sail
with regard to every person under our orders. For these
reasons we have thought fit to make some change in the
staff of our journal, and the public may he assured that in
case of need the most vigorous measures will be taken to
the mail that no grounds for mistrust may remain with
respect to news promulg.ited by the Patric.—DELAIIAIME,
Deputy fer the Somme, Proprietor of the Pattie."
This is a very serious refleetion upon the dismissed writers
in the Pattie, one of whom, M. Xavier Eyma, having an
inkling of what was coming, wrote to all the papers two or
three days since that he bad no longer any connexion with
the journal, and was extremely desirous for " private
reasons" that the announcement of his resignation should
appear in print. One now sees the reason for this anxiety,
which was an enigma at the time. I am told seriously that
M. Delamarre professes to have learnt the fact of his
writers frequenting the Bourse from the " turning tables !"

TOLERATION IN PIEDMONT.—Io Piedmont, which
ten years ago was, in respect of religious ►iberty. something
worse than the Tuscany of to-day, en leraelite College was
opened at Aequi on the Zith ult., in the presence of the In-
tendant of the province, the syndic of the town, the rector
and professors of the Christian College, and all the Israelite
population of the town. This institution has been founded
by a rich Israelite, M. Levi Samuel, who, having no family,
bequeathed his whole fortune to trustees for that purpose.
The public were addressed In appropriate speeches by the
Rabbi, the !Lector of the Christian College, and the Inten-
dant of the province.

MARKETS.

-4. -

COTTON.—favittuooL, 3.—The market cluved
heavily, without ch.inge from currency of Fria3y. 'lhe
sales amounted to 6,000 biles, and included 4AI
nate. and Maranhams, 6.1. to 7 Id. ; 700 Egynti.lm.. 5... to
bd. ; and 600 Surat, at 24d to 20. per lb. Imported since
IThursday 10,000 bales.

M•NC11187 IR, DEC. 3.—We have to report a sluggish
market, with the bias of prices generally in favour of
buyers. There ■re some exceptions, however, both in yarn
and cloth, though few. Buyers for India have recently
placed some fair orders in light 40-inch shillings and jac•
coneta suitable to the Calcutta market, and 40's mule yarn,
which has been scarce for some weeks pa►t, continue' to
command a market fully equal to the supply, at full rates.
The home trade houses are lower in stocks than they have
been for some time, but they continuo to purchase un a re-
stricted scale, and dull as this branch of our trade usually
is at this season of the year, it is a long time since business
was on so small a scale. Means. Du ray and Co. estimate
the contraction of supply through the strikes and system of
short time adopted, to be equal to 357,500 pieces of calico of
374 yards each per week, independent of the decrease of
spinning' for export. They estimate the reduction of both
to be equal to 10,000 bags of cotton per week, whilst the
Consumption at the busiest period has never gone beyond
about 36,000 bags; yet with this extraordinary contraction
of supply trom the mills, we have not a demand to carry off
stocks, or indeed to keep them free of further accumula-
tion.

WOOLLEN CLOTIL—LEEDS, Dec. 3.—We have had
a very thick and foggy day iu Leeds. Considering this,
and the advanced period of the year, we think the business
done to- day, although not Liege, has been such as to justify
the report of a " fair market " for the season. The stock
of cloth in the hall remains without any material altera-
tion; it consequently follows, that about the fume quan-
tity as is regularly brought into the market meets with
purchasers. Prices are without any change since our lan
report.

HARDWARE.—BIRMINOLIAM. Dec. 3.—Trade here re-
mains in the same flourishing condition as at the date of our
last report; slight difficulties have been caused in parti-
cular branches in consequence of the still increasing price
of metals and the impesvibility of obtaining either copper or
tin in other than small quantities; trade has been however,
very slightly checked, if indeed it has at all, and reports
from all the leading manufacturers and merchanto are con-
current on the subject of the healthy condition of trade
generally and its cheering prospects.

CORN.—CASIBRIDOE, DEC. 3.—Our market to-day was
slow but unaltered in price for wheat. Barley in large sup-
ply and from 3s. to 4s. cheaper. Beans and Peas quite as
dear. Oats cheaper. Wheat, red, 70s. to 765. per qr. ;
white, 745. to SOs. Barley, 345. to 445. Beans, new, 445. to
465.; old, 545. to 565. Peas, 50s. to 52.. Oats, 245. to 28s.
CANTERBURY, DEC. 3.—We had a good supply but a
very dull sale. Wheat, brown, old, 725. per qr. ; new,
65e. to 735.; new white, 744. to 78s. Barley, 345. to 435.
Oats, 265. to 30s. Beans, old, 50s. to 515.; new, 40s. to 41.5.
Peas, 445.

CARLT6LII, Dtc.3.—We bad an limited supply of wheat
at our market this morning, which met with a sluw sale at
a reduction of Is. 6d. per bushel. With a large supply of
barley prices were Is. lower. Oats maintained last week's
setts, the supply being small. Wheat, white, new, 27.. to
301. ; old, 295. to 31s. Wheat, red, new, 26.. to 28s. ; old,
28, to 301. Barley, new and old, 14.. to 13.. 3d. Oats,
potato, old, lls. 6d. to 125.; new, 9s. 6d. to 10s. Gd. ; corn.
moo, new, 8.. 6d. to 9s. 6d. Flour per stone, 2s. Bd. to
3s. Oatmeal, 2a. 2d. to 2s. 4d. Ryemeal, Is. IOJ. Barley-
meal, Is. Bd.

GUILDFORD, Dre. 3.—A liberal supply of wheat; trade
was very dull, hut there was more inclination to business at
any reduction on previous rates, which in many cases was
complied witk to the extent of Is. to 25. per qr. Wheat,
Us. to Sl5. Barley, 31s. to 41s. Peas, 475. to 50s. Beans,
48s. to 52a.

GLIM:ESTER, DEC 3.—There was a large electioneering
attendance at our market to-day, but very little business
transacted. The supply of English not large, but farmer.
were,willing to accept Is. less per qr., and holders of foreign
were sellers at the same decline. There was very little
inquiry for malting barley, and lower prices would have
been readily taken. The demand fur oats very limited.
Beans and Indian corn support late quotations. Imports
of the week ending Dec. 3: Wheat, 810 qrs. ; barley,
1,332 ; oats, 3,407.

HEWEFOILD, DEC. 3.—The supply of wheat not large
trade heavy at last week's prices. Barley in large supply
and to make sales fully Is 6d. per qr. was submitted to.
Oats, peas, and beans made last week's rates. Wheat, 40s.
to .51s. per load. Barley, 36.. to 475. per qr. Oats, 245.
to 325. Peas, 28s. to 3.55. per load. Beans, 28.. to 38..
Rye, 23e. to 2,55.

NEWCASTLE-rPDX-TYNE, DEC. 3. The weather this
has been of a variable character, and of a much milder
type than previously. Last night we had a alight frost, a
continuance of which is very desirable. The trade during
the present week has presented the same aspect as the other
large consuming marts in the kingdom, dullaors and listless-
ness on the part of buyers being their characteristics ; still,
however, from our great wants being so apparent, no dispo-
sition has been manifested by holders to give way to a
senseless panic, but they have preferred taking their stocks
to warehouse rather than make any undue or unreason-
able concession. The extent of the decline submitted to on
wheat and flour, therefore, has not exceeded Is. per yr and
per sack respectively. Malting barley has been generally
offered at a further reduction of Is. per qr., without bring•
ing forward buyers of any moment. In other articles little
variation has occurred. At our market this morning we
had a moderate show of wheat from the growers,
the condition of which was but very indifferent, the great
'bulk of the samples being totally ungrindable, independent
of many lots being thoroughly unsound ; this circumstance,
combined with the thinness of factors, imparted a more
healthy tone to the trade, and the business done was nearly
up to the rates of this day se'nnight. For the hest new
Norfelk red 76e. tolls. was acquired, weighing fins., the
natural weight being 6111bs. to 621bs. per bushel. In
foreign few transactions transpired, arising more from the
indifference of sellers than any ether cause ; 78s. may be
deemed an extreme quotation for fine old mixed Dant:tic,
and 765. for choice new Stettin and Uckermarcke ; other
sorts selling in proportion. For flour we experienced a
slow inquiry, and, the arrivals within the last three weeks
being in excess of our requirements, a 'onion has been
landed, as factors could not see the propriety of forcing
sales, whilst the value of wheat had not altered materially
in the south. Of rye our market has been cleared for ship-
ment to Bremen, one fine parcel having realised Cif.,
weighing 68Ibs. per bushel, being fully 21. higher
than our consumers would have given. Malting
barley must be again written Is. per qr. cheaper, with,
however, less disposition to sell than heretofore. Our
farmers' deliveries continue large, which tor the moment
interfere with the sale of Norfolk and Suffolk qualities ;
38s. to 40s. may be considered the top prices for our own
growth weighing 5611 m. to 571bs. per bushel, whereas the
ill-conditioned and unsound sold at 325. to 365. per qr.
Malt not so much inquired for. In beans and peas little
stirring. With oats we were fairly supplied, chi, fly of
the new crop, and such were difficult of disposal at a decline
of Is. Other sorts unaltered. The arrivals this week are:
—Wheat, coastwise, 1,701 qrs. • foreign, 3,770. Rye, coast-
wise, 30. Barley, coastwise, 400. Oats, coastwise, 100.
Flour, 1,130 sacks.

NORWICH, Dsc. 3.—This day our market was well sup-
plied with wheat by both farmers and merchants, who
showed more disposition to realise than of late ; and a good
amount of business was done at 2s. per qr. reduction from
the prices of last week ; condition (except a few very bait
parcels) better than of late, the yield is still spoken of by
parties competent to judge, to be one-sixth below an aye-
' rage. Flour trade f.o.b. dull at late prices. The late calm
weather has slackened the power so much that little millers
and dealers are purchasers at full prices. Barley
trade dull, and prices 21. per quarter less than last
week, which makes 6a. per qr. lower in a month ; large
quantity on offer; demand good at the reduction. Beans
were in somewhat hettersupply, and prices firm, with no
change ' • not much business transacted. Oats were in good
demand, and full prices were paid ; prime lots commanded
:365. per qr. Wheat, white, 78s. to 80s. per qr. ; red, 68s.
to 725. Barley, malting, 365. to 404.; grinding, Hs. to 325.
Beans, old, 625, to 645. ; new, 525. to 56a. Peas, 455. to
495. Oats, ;ios. to 365. Fine household flour, f.0.b., 535.
per sack of 2801bs. gross, purchasers claiming suck and ono
month's credit.

PETEREOROVOII, DEC. 3.—A good supply of grain here
to-day. Wheat was 21. to 39. per qr. lower ; barley, Is. to
29. ; oats, la. • and beans, 29. lin qr. lower than last week.
661bs. red wheat made 645. to 68s. per qr.; best malting
barley, 409. to 425. ; grinding ditto, albs. to 54Ibs. per
bushel, ale. per v. New oats, 13d. to 14d. per stone. Old
beans, 565. to as. per qr. •

. .
READING, Dec. 3.—We had rather more wheat to-day
than last week, most of which came had to hand. The
millers shy in purchasing ; trade very languid, and, with
the exception of a prime parcel or two, a tendency down-
wards. Barley generally must ba quoted ls., and, in some
instances, 2s. lower. A large supply of oats, and some-
what cheaper; as were also beans, both old aril new.
Wisuscm, DEc.3.—The supply of grain of all kinds is
on a liberal scale to•day. Wheat (generally speaking)
much in want of condition, consequently the trade is very
dull, and '2s. to 3s. per qr. lower. Oats and beans, each
cheaper—the farmer Gd., and the latter ls. per qr. Peas
very dull, and ls. to 2s. lower. Prices to the growers :
Wheat, old, 6Ss. to Us. per qr.; new, 545. to 745. Oats,
13d. to 14d. per stone. Beans, 4Gs. to 555. per qr.

WORCESTEIC, DEC. 3.—At our market today there was
a much less supply of wheat from the farmers; yet, on the
sales made, a reduction of Is. to 21. per qr. was submitted
to. Barley 2s. per lower. Oats gave way 6d. to Is. per
qr., except the finest qualities. Beans and peas plentiful,
land 24. per qr. cheaper.
Ytralt, Dec. 3 —We have had a small show of wheat at
out market to-day, which met a slow sale, at a reduction of
Is. per p. Barley in fair supply, and 2s. per qr. lower.
Oats id. per atom-, and beam Is. per qr. lower. The fol-
lowing are the present prices of grain at our market this
day:—Wheat, white, 761. to 78s. per v. imperial ; red,
725. to 745.; barley, malting, 375. to 395.; grinding,
Ito 3Cs.; malt, 665. to 681. Oats, 13d. to 131 d. per stone
of 14Ibs. ; flour, 58s. to 60s. per sack of 2801bs.
KtIIIivALDT, Dec. 3.—The weather during the week
has been, upon the whole, favourable to outdoor field ope-
rations, but raw and foggy, and consequently alf,cting the
condition of any grain thrashing, and yet it seems to indi-
cate frost. At our country markets, this week, we had
more grain offering than of late, and the condition being

WATERFORD, DEC. 3.—We have no arrivals to report
from abroad this week, and coastwise only 300 qrs. wheat,
with 100 barrels flour. Of home-grown grain the supplies
show a considerable falling off ise to quantity, and a further
deterioration of condition, in consequence of the continued
damp weather. At to-day's market we had again but a
small show of samples. The general runs of wheat could
only ne sold at an abatement of Is. to 2fsa.llpernbtrels.. A
Forfew
dry samples brought nearly the highest prices of last Satur-
day. Barley, of which there was not any iu good order, moved
off very slowly, at a decline of Gd. to Is. per barrel; and the
ffer 1 bulk of the oats on o were, with difficulty, disposed of at
a reduction of Is. to Is. lid. per barrel, while all vreil-emt-
