Goons.—For we had a steady mar-
ket, and the business trams= during the fortnight Is
about equal in extent to that of the preceding one, with-
out any marked alteration in prices (except in one or
two descriptions tweeter noticed), which are, however,
rendered at present more favourable by the greatly improved
rote of exchange for remitting. The langour which appeared to fol-
low the inquiry fur grey shirtings snd jacoonets, as noticed m our
last, was of short continuance, the demand having fully revived; and
the previous value of these ROOlllllll4 been well maintained, with some
advance upon low to middling quality of 40-inch shirting; 45-inch
width of the cloth continues dull. In other grey goods, the demand
Is chiefly for coarse and heavy domestics of 40. inch ; for low, and
middling qualities Madupollams (particularly the low. which is manes
and has adveuxed la. and 2a. per piece in price), and for low qualit
long cloth, for dyeing. Fine stout domestic is atoll little sought after,
and grey drillsand twills are quite neglected.
Covrox YAM.—The market has motioned very steady for grey,
and a large amount of business her been transacted at pnces similar
to those of the p.mMling fortnight, but 73 balsa of No. 40 nude, of

In the House of Lords last night:the select com-
mittee of their lordships, to inquire into the causes of
the recent commercial distress, and how far it has
been effected by the laws for regulating the issue of
bank-notes payable on demand, was nominated, con-
sisting of the following peers;—The Dukes of Rich-
mond and Montrose ; Marquises of Lansdowne,
Salisbury, and Clanricarde ; Earls Grey, Auckland,
' Ellenborough, St. Germane, Granville, and Eglinton ;
Lords Ashburton, Brougham, Glenelg, Beaumont,
Kinnaird, Wharncliffe, Stanley, Monteagle, and
CampbelL The committee to meet on Tuesday next.
—Some observations from the Duke of RICHMOND
and the Marquis of LANSDOWNE on the state of crime
in Ireland concluded the business of the citting.
In the House of Commons the railway bill went
through committee, with the compensation clauses
postponed, Mr. A. STAFFORD giving notice, that at ,
the next stage of the bill, he should call the attention
of the house to the interests of a class materially
affected by the bill—viz., the labourers employed on
railways.—Lord MORFETU, in answer to Mr. B. OS-
BORNE, stated that the composition of the new com-
mission of sewers for Middlesex was intended to
be provisional, and to continue for a period of two
years.—Sir W. SOMERVILLE, in answer to an
hon. member stated, that the app_.....=.:4naisaill
_ofilisers to superintend the relief measures

-.ouerat of the Ordnance. The appointments
were bat temporary.—The adjourned debate on com-
mercial distress and the currency was resumed by the
Marquis of GRABBY, followed by Mr. F. RARING, Mr.
HJIRRIES, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. J. REYNOLDS,
and Sir ROBERT PEEL ; after which Mr. JOHN
STUART moved the adjournment of the debate, upon
which question the house divided, when the numbers
were 45 to 257. Mr. J. WILSON then withdrew his
amendment for limiting the inquiry, and the original
asetion proposed by the CHANCELLOR OP THE EXCHE-
WISP, for the appointment of a committee, in the
same terms es given above in the lords' proceedings,
was agreed to.

ST. MARTIN-IN-THE-FIELDS.—INCREASE OF PAU-
Plll4ll.—Yesterday a public meeting of the inhabitants of
the parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields was held in the ves-
try-room, for the purpose of making • rate for the relief of
the poor. Mr. W.H. Dalton, churchwarden, having taken
the chair, it was moved and seconded that a rate of 11d. in
the pound be made for the next half year, being an increase
of 3d. in the pound over the but rate made.—Mr. Davenport
said, that although he must say that 4,0001. was a very large
sum to be required for the October quarter, yet he had such
confidence in the board of guardians, that he had no objec-
tion to the increased rate, as he felt convinced that the
officers of the parish had been compelled to ask for the in-
tresse.—Mr. Wilkes said he presumed that the increase was
caused by the great influx of Irish poor, and he should wish
to be informed how the law stood with reference to those
poor creatures. Fusing the workhouse he was much Burt
at seeing large numbers of the Irish poor lying on the steps
and beneath the walls at all times of the day and
night. The Chairman could assure Mr. Wilkes that
the misery was not unknown to the guardians, who
relieved all they possibly could, but it was mo-
rally impossible to admit all who applied. The guardians
bad passed a great number over to Ireland, but the sick were
allowed to remain in the workhouse. The cost fur pasting
Irish poor during the last quarter amounted to 5001., which
sum bad been repaid by the county.—Mr. Wilkes wished to
be informed whether the increase in the rate from Bd. to 11d.
in the pound was not to be attributed solely to the great in-
flux of the Irish poor into that parish ?—Mr. Le Bretontaid,
not exactly, but to the great increase in the number of poor
generally, and the high price of provisions.—A guardian
said the additional cost had averaged from 5001. to 7001. per
week. In eases of sickness they were not only compelled to
keep the sick person, but all the members of the family, as it
would be cruel to attempt to pass the father or mother and
leave the children in the workhouse. The increase in the
expenditure over the previous quarter bad been 3401., and in
consequence of the numerous applications for relief four ad-
ditional wards bed been built.—After soma further remarks
the rate of Ild. in the pound was agreed to, and the vestry
, separated.
TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS AT THE POST-OFFICE ON
SUNDAYS.—A meeting of the parishioners of Christchurch,
Newgate-street, was held last evening, the Rev. M. Gibbs,
in the chair, whereat resolutions were passed expressive of
regret that the Poet-office authorities should have found it
necessary, in order to expedite the transmission of letters, to
increase the Sunday business.
DRESSMAKERS AND MILLINERS' RELIEF ASSO-
CIATION..—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the committee
of management of the above association was held at the is-
atitution, in Clifford-street, Bondstreet. The report stated

young females of the above classes, by affording relief in
sickness by medical advice and change of air when necessary,
and relief in cases of temporary distress and difficulty, with
tho establishment of a provident land, by the exertions of

those of good character and abilities insearch ofemployment.
During last ,ear 1,217 were registered. of whom nearly 600

PACPERIBM IN MARTLEBONE. Yesterday, a
special meeting of the directors and guardians of the poor el I
St. Marylebone took place in the board room of the work-
house, for the purpose of considering a notice of solisla
given by Sir Walter Stirling, " That in consequence of Ile
great increase of pauperism, immediate steps be taken to
provide additional workhouse accommodation • and it being
suggested that there are means of enlarging the peened
workhouse, that a house, or houses, be engaged to accom-
modate the girls and infant school', until such - enlargement
be completed."—Mr. Soden having been called to the chair,
Sir Walter Stirling, in proposing his resolution, observe/
that the reports from the master of the workhouse, and all
the other officers, showed that the house was full to over-
flowing, that the inmates were compelled to lie three in abed,
and that in point of health the workhouse was becoming
very bad, consequent on its overcrowded state. The We
number of poor daily knocking at their gates rendered it
imperative on the board to do something more than resorting
to mere temporary and patchwork expedients. They
might depend upon it the increase of distress was
of a permanent character, and that it required
to be met by permanent measures of relief—Sir
James Hamilton 'molded the resolution.—Mr. Bell sup-
ported the motion, but expressed his regret that it did not
go to the extent of the removal of the schools entirely from
the workhouse.—Mr. Potter opposed the motion as unneces-
sary, lie considered that, with proper management, the
present workhouse was quite adequate to meet the wants of
the poor. The house wanted weeding of the lazy and idlevaga-
bends which were in it. He called upon the board to must
that their officers should keep people out of the workhouse
as much as possible, for when once they got a taste of
the workhouse they lost all self respect, and never cared
to go out again. He would support the re-
moval of the schools as • moral improvement, but
not for the purpose of enlarging the workhouse.—Mr.
Michie, the chairman, Mr. G. S. Smith, and other gentle-
men having spoken, the question was put, and the resolu-
tion was negatived by a large majority.-Bir James Hamil-
ton wished to know if the board were to separate without
doing anything.—Mr. Michie had no apprehension that the
board would be able to meet the difficulty without resorting
to extraordinary measures.—Sir James -Hamilton thought
differently ; he thought the board were in a very el=
predicantent.—The chairman suggested that as the
board of Monday last snoceeded ID getting 68 inmates of the
workhouse to go out, they should meet again for that pur-
pose. The board was ultimately for this purpose specially
adjourned till Monday.

COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS.
MONEY MARKET & CITY LNTELLIOENCE.
Two o'Clock.—The continued arrivals of gold from
the United States by every packet, the Washington
steamer, for Bremen, having landed 30,000/. at South-
ampton yesterday, whilst, in addition, the Cormorant,
from the Pacific, is said to have brought
1,900,000 dollars on freight, mostly silver, no
doubt, but of which some proportion will be in gold,'
bid fair to keep up to the full extent the rate of
weekly increase in the stock of the Bank of thole
metals. As will be seen on reference to the analysis I
of the returns for the week ending the 27th ult.,
which will be found in the last page, the addition to
the stock for that week alone amounted to nearly
516,0001.
These concurring favourable circumstances have,
however, produced no effect upon public securities this
morning, which remain without material alteration.
We have, in fact, little business going forward, the
Stock Exchange being very thinly attended, and the
day when inviting, as now, being generally turned
into a holiday. We quote Console dull, at 8.51 to t
money, and 86 to 1 for time. Reduced Threes, 841

RAILWAYS.—Our share market is better to-day,
and prices higher for money than for account, which
would seem to show that stock was not in abundance.
There is no particular change however from yester-
day's prices.

CORN-EXETER, Dec. 3.-Our market has been
fairly supplied with all grain to-day. Farmers asked more
money for Wheat, but the top price given did not exceed
that of this day se'nnight-601. per qr. for finest white Eng-
lish. Some quantity of foreign changed hands at late prices.
Barley a dull ale: 325. to 345. for finest malting; 28e. to
30a. for grinding. Oats dull also, and the turn cheaper. 22a.
to 245. per qr. was given.
ELY, Dec. 2. -The intent of one month's discount for
prompt pat ment, which commenced here on the 4th ult., is
now fully established, and business proceeds more freely
to-day. The supply of Wheat was good, and the article
fully maintained its previous value, and for good dry parcels
Is. per qr. advance was paid. Oats come freely, and are
rather cheaper. Beans and Barley without alteration in
value. Wheat, 620 qn. 4 bush. ; average, 2i. 6s. 3d. No-
ley, 104 qrs. 4 bush. ; average, 11. 9d. Oats, 117 qrs. ; ave-
rage, 11. Os. 6d. Peas, I qr. 6 bush.; 21.85.
LINCOLN, Dec. 3.-We have had a large show of Wheat
at our market to-day, which sold rather slowly at last week'.
prices; red, 60.. to 64..; white, 665. to 58.. A small show
of Barley, with a fair demand, at 30.. to 33e. Oats, 18s. to
255. Very few Beans showing ; price, 435. to 465.
LIVERPOOL, Dec. 3.-We begin to be better supplied with
the leading articles of import from Ireland, though they fell
much short of what is usual at this season ; the entries
coastwise, to far this week are limited, but we have a mode-
rate quantity of Wheat, Indian Corn, and:Flour fresh in from
abroad. The trade has ruled without animation since our
last report, but generally without material difference in
values ; and having only a small attendance of either town
or country buyers at our market this morning, sales of mom
articles of the trade proceeded with difficulty, and the
aggregate transactions were of limited amount. The general
runs of Wheat must be noted fully 2d. per bushel cheaper
than on Tuesday, and the finest qualities of new Irish and
(*reign, though held for late prices, were also nominally
lower. Flour again depressed 64. per sack and brl., except
for choice fresh Western Canal, which nearly supported
late rates. The market is almost bare of Malt and malting
Barleys, but the prices of either is scarcely maintained, while
Beans of all sorts are again offered on somewhat easier terms.
Having a better choice of Oats, the value declined Id. per
451 b., and that of Oatmeal 6d. per load, at which reduction
there was more freedom of sale than of late, but still far
from an active demand. Indian Corn continues in very
slow request, few orders appearing from Ireland, and the
currency is to-day Is. to 2e. per qr. below that of Tuesday.
The best Indian Ides' sold at 15e. 6d. per barrel. The
following are the present price.: British: Wheat, per 70115.,
