BEtraer, March 21.-We have no change to notice in the
value of farmers' praduce sin a our last report, and, although
the supplies continue moderate, the dealers are not dispelled
to purchase, except for their immediate wants. Indian Corn
has further declined sa. per ton. After a few flee drying

CORK, March 225.-From the improved advice. from the
London markets, we looked for an upward movement in
Wheat. Owing however to the dulness prevalent in the
tena Liverpool, end the difficulty in effecting local sales
of the manufactured article, the value of Wheat has been
only supported, and we have no advance to notice in prices.
In prepared Wheat we have nothing doing. Barley is the
turn dearer. Oats, also, for the reasons adverted toted week,
are in fair demand, at an improvement of '25. to 3d. per
barrel. In prepared Oats FO little is doing that prices are
altogether nominal. Our late quotations remain unchanged.
Flour continues in but moderate' demand for immediate
consumption. The trade in Indian Corn is flat, a
ndn feces

prime Gallas is nominally 71. 10s. Indian Corn Meal
in slow demand.
LIMERICK, March 25.-The weather continues very fine,
and most favourable far spring tillage, at which the farmers
are kept busy, and the supplies of grafts for the week are
moderate. At the Wheat market to-day the quantity was
small and quality very. indifferent; however, many buyers
appeared, and the entire was cleared, at same prices as last
week. No Barley. In Oats a very changeable trade. Some
cargoes of Indian Corn have arrive I, both foreign and coast-
wise. It is in good demand, and meet ready sale, at a shade
lower in price. Indian Corn Meal and other breadstuff' are
in fair demand. Wheat, white 15id. to 1611.; red, 13d.
to 151 d. Oats, 81d. to 81d. Indian Corn, 71. 15s. to
81. 2a. 6el. Indian Meal, 81. to 91. Oatmeal, 111. 105.
WATERFORD, March 25.-Our supplies of grain during
the week have rather diminished ; notwithstanding which,
the trade has beca in a most inactive state, owing to the
depressing accounts from the leading English markets.
Wheat has met a slow sale, and must be written folly 6d. to
94. per barrel lower than on Sat urday last. Barley and
Oats are in moderate request, at the currency of this day
se'nnight. Indian Can, has been forced to a further decline
of 6d. to 9.1. per barrel, at which reduction the demand is
quite of a retail character. The sale of Flour continues
very 4:111, and last week's t rites are with difficulty mein-
tained. Present prices of Grain, Flour, ite.:-Undried :

KIRKCALDY, March 25.-A great deal of rain has again I
fallen this week: the last two days have been dry, and we
Imps farmers may bet enabled to proceed with seed operations
next week. At our country markets this week we have to
report very trifling supplies of grail', for which there was a
free sale, at fully more money than wag current last week,
particularly foi Wheat and Barley. Here to-day we had
rather a large supply of Oats, but moderate of Wheat and
Barley. Prices were much the Name as last week ; some few
parcels of Oats sold for seed, at higher prices than last week.
Wheat, 474. to 541. per qr. arley, 265. 31s. Oats,
21s. to 28s. Oatmeal per bag of 2801 be., 34u. to 345. 6d.
DANTZIC, Marco 18.-Tae river navigation! this side
of the outlet is not yet free, and a few barges, arrived be-
fore the gate, must wait (or the melting of the ice, which
cannot be delayed beyond a few days. Several of our factors
are encouraging parties hereto make offers at 485., including
freight, as likely to be accepted ; and it may be, such offers
will be sent over by our neighbours. As to the supplies now
on the way down, we have nothing new to report. It is a
favourable cir' etimiUzice that the weather has been very dry
and mild of late, thus promising the means of bringing the
Wheat into better condition. by laying it out en the banks
Of the Vistula, in order to be turned in the open air.

:ELECTION COMMITTEES.—SATURDAY.
Rrs.--The committee sat, for the first time, on
Saturday. Mr. James, for the petitioner, stated that the
petitionegainst the sitting member, Mr. Curteis, contained
allegations of bribery and treating, but that he bad • prel
minary objection, which, if decided in his favour, would
render further inquiry nnneoeseary. That objection wee,
' that the mayor of Rye had not, in obedience to the set of
parliament, made proclamation of the election three clear
days before the nomination.— Mr. Johnston, for the sitting
member, conceded that the objection WU fatal to his client's
Mat. but asked whether it was intended to proceed with the
other allegations of the petition ?—Mr. James intimated
that it wan not ; and the committee, after • short delibera t
-
tion, decided that Henry Massed Cartels, Esq., had no
been duly elected, that the election was a void electioa, but
that inasmuch as the petition contained allegations which
were nut sustained by proof, it must be deemed frivolous and
vexatious, and all costa and expenses must be ',ski by the
petitioners or their sureties.
SLloo.—This committee sat also for the first time.
The allegations against the sitting member are that be had
neglected to make declaration of his qualification within the
necessary time, after having been called upon to do so • and
also that his election had been carried by force and violence.
After some discussion the committee decided that the decla-
ration had not been made in compliance with the act of par-
liament, and adjourned until Monday this day).
