Nawcagrin.ore-Trien, April 29.-The weather this week
has been unusually cold for the meson, with heavy rain and
hail at intervals. Our accounts from the interior speak
rather discouragingly of the appearance of the Wheat on
all cold soil., many ii lda which tea days ago presented a
lexuriant aspect, having within the last few day, turned
sickly and yellow. The trade since this day senlught has
boon characterised by more firmness, and business to • fair
latent has been done in Wheat and Flour at very extreme
rates. Malting Barley and Malt, as also Oats, have been
metre aught after, and the turn has been in favour of the
'eller, whilst in other articles few transactions have occurred,
although lower terms would have been complied with. At
our market this morning the show of Wheat from our
grower* was large. as well as from abroad, but from the
coast we are without any arrivals. The trade to-day opened
with more animation, fresh thrashed samples being readily
cleared off at an advance of Is. per qr., but the improvement
did not extend to foreign ; holder., however, were more
retired, and in many insances preferred taking their stacks
to warehouse, in the anticipation that as the season advances
more money will be obtained. Fresh Flour was held for an
advance, and in the busies.' transacted rather over our
previous currency was obtained, but in old warehoused
parcels we have little variation to note, although the
sale was more free than of late. The warehoused
stocks are now much reduced ; and we are inclined to think,
vrbea they are oat of the market, more inducement will
exist for shipments being made this way. Rye nominally
unaltered. Malting Barley may be quoted • shade dearer,
and the same remarks will apply to Mate Beans and Peas
meet little inquiry. Having a lees supply of Oats from the
growers, and the arrivals irons. otland be
ecteing likewise
moderate, • clearance

ly effd, at f
last week's prices. Foreign rather more saleable ;
but to induce business, a slight concession had to be
made. We have no alteration to note in the duties this
week. The folloaing are the quotations: Wheat,

Nonwteir, April 29.-We bad only a middling offer of
Wheat at oar market this day, but that oiler was equal to
the demand, and prices remain the same as last week. The
same may be said of Flour, Barley, Beans, Peas, and Oats.
The prices current are: Wheat, white, per qr., 524 to
565.; red, 48s. to 51s. Barley, malting, 295. to 304 ; grinding,
25e. to '2Be. Oats, 225. to 265. Beans, 345. to 395. Peas,

free on board at Yarmouth. Retail, Is. Ild. per store.
NOTTINGHAM, April 29.-We have had a good supply of
Wheat at our market to-day, which found a ready sale, at
fully the rates of last week. The Barley market was very
sbors, bat few samples shoerine, which readi:y made Is. to
2s. over late currencies. In other articles we have little or
no alteration.
PITERNOROUGR, April 29.-We have a large "topple of
Wheat to this day's market ; and there is a fair quantity a f
Oats and Beans offering; but scarcely any Barley. Wheat is
a very dull 'ale, and late rates are with difficulty main-
tained. Barley Is. dearer. Oats and Beans each Is.
dearer, and in demand at the advance. Currency to the
growers Wheat, new, 40.. to 425.; fine, 48s. to 625. ;

PETWORTII, April 29.-It being the day previous to our
fair, the attendance was very trifling, and the amount of
business done equally so.
READING. April '29.-Our supply of Wheat to-day was
double to that of last week, and trade heavy at a decline of
2e. per qr. Very little !Seeley here, and. as the malting
season may now be considered over, there is not much de-
mand ; prices therefore remain without alteration. Oats and
Beans come more scarce, and quotations are Is. per qr.
higher than last week.
SAFFRON WALDEN, April 29.-Wheat maintains its price.
Barley Is. per qr. dearer. Beans, Peas, and Oats quite as
good in value.
SUNDERLAND. April 29.-The weather has been exceed-
ingly cold and wet, with frequent showers of sleet and hail,
and vegetation is much retarded by the continued low tem.
perature. There have been no arrivals of min during the
week by ship, but the supplies from the formers to-day were
pretty good. There is no animation in the trade, and the
demand is regulated solely by the pressing wants of the
millers, who refrain whoy from peculation. ale of eat
were slowly made, at • rlleductions of &hint is. S
pers qr. oWn h
the
rates of last week. The finest Wheats are worth 50n. to
524 ; good ge samples, 475. to 435. inferior qua-
lities, 441. in 46s Booth country eta end prime foreign
qualities, are in request, at these rates. Malting Barley is
very slow rale, at 31e. to 324 ; Beans, at 36'. to 384.; and
grey Peas, at 345. to 365., are in retail deemed. Oats, at
20s. to 22. , are fair sale. The demand for Flour is steady,
at 37s to 38s. for country, and 35*. to 365. for home-made.
The prices of American are nominally 23.. to 300. ; and for
Indian Meal, 16s. to 17s. per barrel.
WARMINSTER, April 29.-A good supply of Wheat ; the
fillett white sold from 584 to 595.; heavy red, 554 to 66a. ;
moderate samples at. about 60s. to 5'14 The Barley trade was

WINCMENTRIL, April 29.-No material alteration CM be
reported in prices. The best heavy Wheat may he quoted
at 56* W 58e. per qr. ; moderate, 521. to 645. Flour, per
bag, 38s to 42 In Beans a decline was submitted to of Is.
per qr. ; and Peas underwent a little change. The scarcity
of Oats induced an advance; some good whites sold at 28s.
per qr. ; Scotch; 2.55. ; good sweet feed Oats, 225. Old
Tare*, 54 6d. to 6.. per bushel ; new, 6s. Gd. to 7s.
Wtsmecx, April 29.-With a continuance of the moth'
angenial weather, almost entirely stopping the seeding of an
spring corn, we continue to he moderately supplied with
Wheat, and scantily with all other grain. Good fresh Wheat
must be called fully I'. dearer, whilst the inferior and the
least out of condition is barely that dearer since this day
week. Oats, 6d. to Is., and Beans Is. per qr. dearer, and in
demand. Prices to the growers: Wheat, fine white,
°Ube. to 621ba.. 484 to Ills, per qr. ; red, 475. to 495. ; good
runs, 6011 w. to 6111 a., white, 465, to 485. ; red, 455. to 475.;

feed, 10d. to 100. Beans, new, 345. to 3GL
WORCERTER, April 29.-We had RR unusually large sup-
ply of Wheat at our market this day; and, the market being
slenderly attended by millers and dealers, prices receded 2e.
per quarter from the rates of this day se'nnight. Red, 19s.
per bag of 9 score 101 b.; white, 20s. The malting season
being nearly over, little we done in Barley ; fine qualities
made 4s. 3d. per imperial bushel. No inquiry for Beans or
Peat, Oats also • dull sale, without any alteration in our
quotations of last week.
YEOVIL, April 28.-Wheat was a shade higher than last
week, and may be quoted at Ls. Oil. to Go. 341. Barley was
also enhanced in value in consequence of the continuance of
wet weather being unfavourable for sowing. It may there.
fere be quoted at from 295. to 365. Oats remain at our last
week's quotations.
YORK. April 29.-We have a small show of Wheat at
our market this day ; and the millers being low of stock,
price have advanced Is. per qr. Oats are rather better odd,
per ther articles no alteration. Wheat, white, 625. to 5.55.

BIIIXAST, April 27.-The weather during the week has
been cold, with strong winds, and farmers ere busily em-
ployed getting on with their labour, which bee
been • good
teal delayed in heavy lands. Supplies of Orals at market
lave been small, and the prices of everything have au upward
tendeney. Indian Corn is in good demand, and held. at •
halm advance of 6s. per ton, and unless we have large sup-
}Harlots are likely to advance still further. Flax seedo is in
better demand, and nearly all disposed of; Dutch. 6s. to

Cotta, April 28.-The weather during the week has been
almost uninterruptedly fin*, and the sowing of spring seeds
has in consequence been well nigh brought to a close. The
present aspect of trade is still dull. Yet, owing to the sail-
ing of several grain tiding vessels, coupled with a decidedly
improved and increased demand for Indian corn, the value
of ibis article has advanced to the extent of 10s. to 12s. 61.
per ton on the week. Our supplies of home grain continua
light. The value of Wheat is firmly maintained. The
quantity coming in is smell, and, the demand being Rood, the
samples offering are taken readily at the rates of last week.
Of prepared Wheat, some sales have been made at an ad-
vance of Is. to 1.. 6d. per barrel. The demand
fur Barley for seed purposes having fallen cal, this
article has receded somewhat in value; but, the supply
being small, the stands are cleared without mush difficulty.
Oats, on the contrary, are the turn dearer, prices having ad
vermeil since our last 3d. to 4d. per barrel. In prepared Oats
a few sales have been made at 1 Is. per barrel (for blacks)
free on board, but some holders are unwilling to sell at these
rates. For Flour a fair consumptive demand goes on, and a
steady trade is doing in the article, at late rate*. Indian
Corn has been much raider of sale. A good trade has been
done in the article during the week, and prices have ad-
vanced 10.. to 12s. 6d. per ton, the asking price now being
81. The advance, however, has somewhat checked the de-
, mend. Indian Meal also hes been in better demand, and in
a tree sale, at • pretty similar improvement.
WATII1LF0111), April 29.-Our market this week has been
very scantily supplied with Wheat; but our receipts of Bar-
ley end Oats have been to a fair extent. At this morning's
market the delivery of Wheat was again exceedingly small,
and all samples fit for millers' use were readily disposed of
at an advance of Is. to 2s. per barrel on the currency of
Saturday last. Barley, of which the supply was moderate,
found buyers at late rates. The demand for Oats continues
good, and bith blsce and white must be noted dearer by 2d.
to 3d. per barrel. Indian Corn has attracted but little
attention during the week, and the recent advance is with
difficulty maintained. Flour is readily sold at an improve-
ment of bd. per sack. Present prices of Drain, Flour, te.

Kinacattiv, April 29.-We have had another week of
barren weather-several of the morning* sharp frost; some
rain has fallen, with occasionally hail and snow showers
At our country markets, held during tht week, we can only
report what we have bad 00CaSiail now to report for many
weeks past, that supplies of all kinds of grain were very
small, barely sufficient for local wane, and that prices were
in favour of the sellers. Here to-day the supplies of all
kinds of grain were small; sales of Wheat and Barley
quick, at Is. per qr. advance. Oats, too, in better demand,
at about C.d. per qr. over last week's rates. Wheat, Cis. to

LONDON, Al ONDA Y, MA Y 1
IN the Spectator of Saturday last. we find a theory
of reform movements which has the appearance of
putting the cart before the horse. " When some man
among us," save the Spectator, " possessing a power
of command, feels that the necessity of his position
dictates a particular course of action, and proclaims
that he is about to act, then the people stir, and he
finds a support incited by the mere love of move-
went." The illustrations by which this theory is
sought to be established are—the concession of ca-
tholic emancipation by the Duke of WELLINGTON
and Mr. PEEL; the bringing in of the Reform Bill by
Earl GREY ; and the abolition of the corn laws by Sir
Router PEEL. Hitherto we, in common with the
the country at large, had laboured milder the
erroneous impression, that the desire for all
three of these reforms had been expressed
wilt' considerable urgency and loudness —to say
nothing of some slight degree of menace—before any
one of the three statesmen named moved in the matter.
We had heard of the protracted struggles of the
parliamentary liberals for the removal of Catholic
restrictions, and of the Clare election—of the Birming-
I has Political Union—and of the multitudinous anti-
corn-law associations and meetings, of which the
League was the head. We had understood that the
Duke and Sir ROBERT yielded to, instead of stimulat-
ing, the popular will, and that the labour even of the
whigs, consisted more in preventing the people from
going further than in goading them so far. But the
Spectator favours us with a new and improved version
of the story, in which the Duke of WELLINGTON,
Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Earl GREY, aru represented,
like the strong-breathed man iu the service of Baron
MUNCHAVSEN, as not only setting their sails to catch
the prevailing wind, but as supplying it from their
own especial nostrils.
We leave to the curious in antiquarian researches
to adjudicate on the discrepancy between the popular
legend and the Niebuhr of the Spectator. But we
demur at once to the practical application of the
theory which ha seeks to build upon his new views of
the history of England in the nineteenth century.
We cannot in conscience advise our countrymen to
hang back from the movements for further constitu-
tional reform, and revision of ourfinancial system, till
some "high and popular statesman—Sir Roma
for instance—announces in some single
Fien•Allee that he is about to bring in
a measure 'for the revisi -n of our sys-
tem,' or some other measure equally large." If
the people lie upon their oars till Sir ROBERT, or
any minister in office, or having hopes of being in
office, originate any such movement, they may wait
long enough.
We think the Spectator misapprehends the nature
of the present movement. It has not originated in
any prompting or stimulus of the "fifty-one." The
meeting of the independent practical members of the
House of Commons thus designated at the Free Trade
Club, was cottmporancous with the movements in
Birmingham, Liverpo, and e!scwhere, not the cause
of them. It was an iad,pui. lent, unpreconcerteil con-
viction, prompted by the sane views and feelings
which led to all these movements. Throughout the
