THE ABDUCTION CASES.

In the Court of Queen's Beach at Dublin,
on Satorday, Mr. Henry Corr, against whom a writ
of habeas corpus had issued in the case of the
Mays Murphy., minors, made • return, which we. accepted
, & good and valid return by the court and the counsel
(Mr. Brereton Q.C.) for the mother of the children,
at whose inStence the writ was ironed. The re.
tam sets forth that the father of the children,
Patrick Murphy, executed a will, in which he appointed
Mr. Carr the trustee and guardian of his children, who, it
was his (the father's) with, should be brought up Boman
catholic. ; that, accordingly, he (Mr. Corr) took immediate
steps to parry out the intentions of the testator, and had
both children (at different periods) placed in Roman catholic
orphan asylums. The return further set forth that their
mother subsequently applied to Mr. Corr to transfer the
children to her custody for the purpose of having them
brought up as protestant., on the ground that the parties
who would undertake their maintenance and education
would also support her, she not being allowed any assistance
from the Roman catholic authorities. This Mr. Corr re-
fused to do, and hence the application fer a writ of habeas
corpus. Mr. Brereton stated, ID explanation of the WWI.
adopted by his client, that she did not know of the clause
in her husband's will haring reference to the future reli-
gious training of her children. In his (Mr. Brereton's)
opunqp, it was a cane in which the children were propmly
brought up Roman catholic,,, the father having
been a Roman catholic, and having by his will de-
clared his wish that the children should be reared in
the same faith. The only request he had to make was,
that his client should for the future have reasonable oppor-
tunity of seems to her children. Mr. Gamin, on behalf of
Mr. Corr, undertook that she should have free access to
them, on condition of her not attempting to interfere with
their education, and Mr. Brereton mid that an undertaking
to that effect would be given by Mrs. Murphy, the Chief
Justice intimating that she ought to do so. Both the
orphans were brought into court, and were present during
the promedinp.
The case of the Sherwooda was next taken up, and
attachments were ordered to be issued against Ellen
Blake and Catherine Davis (the grandmother of the chil-
dren) for not having pat in answers to the writs of habeas
corpus, but aa it transpired that the orders of the court
were not drily served on the parties, fresh writs were ordered
to be issued. In the event of any further miscarriage of
Notice, the substitution of service on the servant at the
home to be deemed anfficient. The case of the Henrys
was again postponed, and to-day the Solieitor•General will
be in his place; a hint, however, was thrown out of the
probability of some arrangement which would renderfurther
proceedings unneormary.

THE ATTEMPTED MURDER AT CLAPHAM.--JOIDD
Clay, who has been so frequently remanded on a charge of
cutting his wife's throat with a razor, was on Saturday
brought before Mr. Nyman, at the Wandsworth Pollee
Court, when the unfortunate woman attended. S 1
peered dreadfully week, and, from the effect of the wound.
in her throat, was unable to raise her bead. The evidence
of the var ous witnesses has been so fully reported that it is
needless to repeat it here. The principal portion of the
wife's statement was as follows :—She was standing with
her hand upon the handle of the door when be came for-
ward, and with an oath declared that he would cut her
throat He sprang on her as if to strike her, and
she then felt a cut across her throat. She struggled
with him and tried to get to the front door. She
at last got into the passage and then fell down. Her
husband then tell upon her, and drew a razor across under
the left ear, and endeavoured to cut the front pert of her
throat again. She resisted with her left hand, and, after a
desperate struggle, she succeeded in wrenching the razor
from him. Her hands were severely cut in the straggle.
He then put his fingers to the wound in her throat and
pulled it open, causing the blood to flow much faster. He
then got up and ran away, leaving her in the passage. She
also succeeded in reaching the street, and called
" Murder." She became exhausted and sat down upon the
' pavement, and she remembered some one looking up and
saying, " She has cut her throat ; she has the razor in her
hand" She said, " No," and told them her husband bad
done it She remembered no more until she found herself
in her landlady's room. She was afterwards removed to
the hospital, where she had remained until that morning.
The depositions having been completed, the prisoner, de-
claring that he bad nothin to my, was fully committed to
take his trial at the f sessions of the Central
Criminal Court.

HORRIBLE MU RDER. —The village of Standish,
sheet three miles from Wigan, wee alarmed, on Weaneeday,
by the report that a farmer had been found murdered in a
field near his dwelling. High Aioscough, a tenant farmer,
of Wrightnigkes, IS3 years of age, left his home on Tuesday,
for the parpoee at paying his rent. This he did, and after-
wards calMd at the-Farmers Arms Inn, and had a quantity
• liquor. He was known to most of the cowpony amoog
whom were a widow, named Fisher (to whom the deassed
wee to have bun married in a few weeks), and four men,
awed Prescott, Hereon, Hart, and Cubbin. As it drew
war the hour for closing the deceased, who was par-
Melly drunk, and Mrs. Fisher, left to go home. They
had sot gone more than forty or fifty yards when they
Weed some men en the opposite side of the hedge, and the
donned was hit by a sod thrown by one of these. lie became
very much irritated, but his remonetratices were only an.
✓imed by a volley of sods, clay, Ac., and Ainscough then
polled off his coat sod bat, and offerej to fight any of hie 9A-
sallants. Mrs. Fisher now left the deceased and went on
ber way home, expecting that he would overtake her, but he
was not afterwards seen alive by any but those concerned
ia his death. The following morning, about half-part four,
a fireman named Clarkson found near the path a bat and
coat. Shortly afterwards he came upon a mound of earth,
with a man's head and face, very much disfigured, pro-
truding from the heap at one side ; at the other the feet
being just visible. The other portions of the body were
ecespletely buried under the heap. It was then discovered
that the inhuman assailants of the old man had filled his
month, nostrils, and ears with human excrement ; to such
an extent, in fact, that death must have immediately re-
sulted from suffocation. The result of the inquiries of the
pollee was that Cnbbin, Hart, and Benson, have been er-
mined on the charge of causing the death of Ainsoough. On
Friday Mr. Myers, coroner, held au inquest at the Farmers'
Arms Inn, Bishpam, when the jury returned a verdict of
"Wilful Murder" against the three men in custody.
FATAL ACCIDENT IN LOMBARD-OREM. —An acci-
dent, which resulted in the loss of one life, sod serious
injury to three other men, took place on Saturday afternoon,
between three and four o'clock. The homers previously
occupied by the London and County Bank, in Lombard-
street, together with some adjoining premises in Nicholas-
lane, have recently been sold, and the work of removing the
lots has been actively going on daring the last week. While
the men were engaged in taking down the old materiala
the upper floor, encumbered with brick rubbish, fell with •
tesTible crash, carrying with it the lower ones to the cellar
and basement. Several men were engaged on this Boor
cleaning the bricks taken from the walls, but the accumu-
lated weight of rubbish upon them proved too much for the
supporting beams, they gave way, and workmen and dawn
were preci Muted together. For some minutes the greaten con-
fusion prevailed, and it was impossible to know whether some
other portions of the building would not follow ; but at
length the exertions of the labourers on the spot succeeded
in relieving three of the men from the ruins. Two of thee.
(John Dogan and Christopher English) were very seriously
injured, and were conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital. where
they still lie in • precarious state. A third man, Richard
Lawrence, was also taken to the hospital, but his injuries
did sot seem such as to prevent his removal in a cab to his
own residence. The labour of removing the ruins was con-
tinued ; and two bourn after the accident Patrick Ilium
was discovered, with him head downwards, and beneath an
immense heap of brick rubbish. He was dead, and in the
opinion of the surgeon, who was in attendance must have
died Alm at immediately of suffocation.--Inspector Duddy,
of the City police, exerted himself in the most praiseworthy
maser to effect something like an organisation of labour
among the men upon the spot, and he was very actively
assisted by Mr. Brooker, purchaser of several of the " lots,"
and who was superintending their removal at the time of
the accident. _

RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —Oll Saturday &
painful sensation was produced in the neighbourhood of Mer-
ihyr,inconeequence of its becoming known that a melancholy
accident, accompanied by fatal conseuence* to three ner-
vous, had occurred on the Cvnubargoed Railway, near that
town, one of the numerous mineral lines that abound in
South Wales. The Cwmbarred lion WAS constructed
originally by the Pennydwrren Company to an appendage
of their works, but it has now become the property of the
Dowlais Company, and has latterly, in consequence of the
great increase of traffic over it, undergone some extensions.
At one point it passes closely in front of • row of houses
inhabited by workmen and their families. Formerly the
rails did not approach those houses by about id feet, but,
owing to the alterations before noticed, it lasses at
about 24 feet from them. On Saturday, a little girl,
named Sarah Jones, the dauglier of a fireman who resides
in one of the houses, was playing on the line with the son of
a sinker, also living in the rank, named Samuel Thomas,
I when a train of emptied tracks was heard approaching the
spot. The children did not seem to be &burned by the ap-
proaching danger, and a giriot between 14 and 15 years 01,1,
earned Mary Ellis, screamed oat to them, and then, seeing
that the train was nearing them, ran to the line and made
• heroic effort to save them. She reached the rail,
set her foot within the line, and inside • grasp at them,
but must either have overbalanced herself or else have been
struck by one of the carriage*, for she was knocked down,
and the entire train went over her, almost entirely se-
parating her left thigh from the body. The children too
were both run over and crushed and mangled in so chocking
a moaner that death must have been to them almost in-
stantaneous. An alarm was given, and the unfortunate
girl Ellis was got up alive and conveyed to her home, when
De Martin was called in. She only survived, however, a
few hours.

(Before the Lod Cliencelke.)
COOK r. ISTUROIB.7I3II_ It DT/KM

In this ces;;;;aiioi;;;;;;ed:intii;e7Ly last to the
full court of appeal for an attachment wind Mr. law,
the Chief Commissioner of the Insolv Court, for noi
having obeyed • writ of prohibition issued by Lord Chan.
calor (heaworth in November 1856, against his carrying
oat an ceder for the re-vesting of the surplus funds of the
mists of George William Dyson under a first insolvency in
the aseigaes under his second insolvency, and directing that
the tad should be transferred from the credit of the one
Mate to the credit of the other, without reference to the
clams of a Mr. Cook to whom the surplus assets of the first
insolvency had been assigned for value by Dyson under the
provisions of • deed of July 1850, made some time be-
fore the second insolvency. On the 3rd March Mr. Law
in person showed cause against the motion for an
attachment, and supported the order made by him.
The court, then, were of opinion that the prohibition stood
in the way of the dealing with the funds by the Insolvent
Court, but declined to make any order oa the motion for
an attachment, Mr. Law undertaking to rescind his order.
The 17th March was appointed for Mr. Law, if he should
think fit, to move to discharge the prohibition. In the
meantime Mr. Law made an order rescinding his previous
order for re-vesting the fund, and was prepared to have
moved to the prohibition on the day named ; but
the Lord Ch or had directed theanotion to stand over
eine die, on the ground that it was probable that an act
would soon pus the legislature which would render any
further proceedings unnecessary.
Mr. Commimioner Law this naming applied in person to
have the case restored to the psiand • day named for
proceeding with the motion to Bseharso the prohibition.
The Lord Chancellor amid that the same reason which had
induced him to direct the case to Mead over indefinitely,
namely, that legislation would sees reader any further pro-
ceedings unnecessary, still :aed, and he must decline to
to secede the present appr
Mr. Commissioner Law very prosehnily urged that' a day
might be named for hearing the mode&
The Lord Chancellor asid—l refuse to name a day. Call
the next case.

WOOD r. PART'HINO.

In this cane the Muter of the ROIL had directed the ap-
pellant to pay a rum of money into court. This order had
not been complied with, and the appeal being prosecuted, now
Gum on for hearing. An objection was taken by the mi-
=et that the case could not be heard on appeal until
der for payment into court bad been obeyed.
The Lard Chancellor was of opinion that the objection
ought to prevail, and directed the bearing of the appeal to
stand over until the order of the court below had been ful-
filled.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. P. Wood.)

This suit came before the court upon a petition by one of
the pasties to have the payment out accost to her of •.fund
upon her giving security to return it. It appeared that a deci-
, moo upon one of the points in the suit arena to the rights of
the petitioner had been come to in this branch of the court,
but on appeal to the Lord Chancellor that decision had been
ra►ened. The opposite side then appealed to the House of
Lords, and this appeal was still pending, but from the state
of the business before the house, it was impossible it could
be beard this session. Under these circumstances this peti-
ties was presented.
Mr. Daniell, Mr. C. Berkeley, and Mr. Beggallay were for
the parties.
The Vice-Chancellor said he would make the order prayed
for on the applicant giving security to return the fund if
the decision of the House of Lords were against her.

Mr. Commissioner Murphy said all he had to do then was
to pronounce the adjudication of the oourt.
On Colonel Grenfell being sworn to the truth of his
schedule he was declared entitled to the benefit of the act,
and ordered to be discharged forthwith.

MARKETS.

TALLOW.

The tallow market bas shown increasing dulness during
the week from that noticed in our last report, and prices
of Y.C. on the spot, as well as for delivery in May and
June, have declined Is., while those now current for later
periods exhibit • reduction of fully 9d. per cwt. when
compared with those current last Friday. The depreirion
that has existed has doubtless been caused chiefly by the
receipt of &deices that the navigation at St. Petersburg was
open, and that imports thence would likely take place
towards the close of the present, or in the early part of
next month ; the trade in general, however, as is usual at
this period of the year, is greatly restricted, while
the warmer temperature will necessarily tend further to
lessen the demand for consumption during the
summer months. These concurrent tutu= have
produced • somewhat general and strong impres-
sion that lower prices will rule, and hence solar have been
without, however, inducing purchases for present
Llrerveedr; beyond the immediate requirements of consumers.
To-day there has been rather more doing, and the followsg
are current quotations for Y.C. viz., 54a. 6d. for fine
tallow on the spot ; 53e. 3d. to 53e. 6d. for delivery in May
and June ; 51e. 6d. for July to September, and 51s. per
cwt. (buyers) for October to December. The imports since
Monday up to last evening have been only 32 reeks. The
deliveries have been 632 casks, and the present stock of all
kinds is 29,338 auks, being • decrease of 984 cake, when
compared with the quantity on hand this day week. Town
melted was in steady request at the commencement of the
week, and Ma. 6d. not was the more general price obtained.
During the peat two or three days, however, molter' have
shown a desire to rubs in anticipation of a decline in the
" letter prioe" today, which is now 56e. 9d., or say 53e. 3d.
per cwt. net, being • reduction of 9d. per cwt. on the official
quotation of last weak.
The public sales yesterday resulted as follows:
P.Y.C.-The quantity offered (312 casks) may be said to
have been in excess of the probable requirements of con-
sumers, and notwithstanding an evident desire to realise,
only 40 casks were sold at 545. to 54a. 3d. per cwt. for mid-
Odanz-Only 38 casks were submitted, and 5 sold, viz.:
Mixed melting, fine, at 54a. 6d. per cwt. There was not any
fine mutton offered, but sales were reported by private con-
tract at 55e. per cwt. for good avenge quality.
St. Petersburg Scapa-Seven casks middling quality,
beiag held for 53e. per cwt., were bought in. Sales of fine
quality have been made during the week at that price.
North American.-142 casks (chiefly barrels) were sub-
mitted, of which only 25 casks were sold at the sales at
535. 6d. for good, and 535. per cwt. for middling.
Cooosuut oil his been in steady request during the week
and 465. for Cochin, as well as 43e. 6d. for fine Ceylon, is
reported to have been paid for small lots by private con.
tract. At auction, however, 112 casks Cochin of good
average quality, being reserved for 455., were all bought
In ; while 212 arks Sydney were well competed for, and all
sold as follows : Very fine, 435. to 43e. 9d. ; fine, 42a. 9d.
to 435. 6d. ,• fair and good, 41s. 9d. to 411. 6d. ; middling
to good (yellow), 40a. 6d. to 4b. &L ; rather dark and
dark, 40s. to 40s. 3d. ; inferior, 38e. 6d. per cwt., less 21
per cut. discount.
Palm oil continues without any new feature to report.
Holders are still firm at 46e. for fine logos and Whydah.
The few auks offered at auction were all bought in.
Palm-nut oil is also neglected. 18 casks submitted were
i bought in at 325. 6d. for dark up to 345. per cwt. for good
fair.-(From the Circular of Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks,
and Co., dated Friday evening.)

001 TON GOODS.-11mgmestrrze, MAY s.—The orders
given out during the past fortnight for India goods have
again placed manufacturers underconsiderable engagement.,
and the market closes with a very firm and healthy feeling.
This applies chiefly to the lighter mskes of 40-inch shut-
logs, inadapollams, T cloths, and jacconets, which range at
, about the none quotations as they did • month ago
1
Absence of stock and some fair orders for printing cloths
keep prices steady, but the demand for qualities suitable to
the home trade in prints has been retarded by the
backwardness of the spring. For :16-inch shirtings them is
rather more inquiry, though not en active demand by any
means, but for long cloths the market is dull. Domestics
are in fair request and improving, prices being mom favour.
able also at the present rates for cotton to manufacturers.
In yarns, though the advises are reported to be unencou.
raging from the Leipsic fair, there is rather more business
for Germany, and the heavy orders given out for cloth re-
cently have improved the demand for suitable qualities of
twist from home manufacturers at gradually improving
rates. Yarns suited to India and the Mediterranean also
continue good.

WOOLLEN.—Lures, MAY s.—There WY a good attend-
ance of buyers in the balls this morning, and the market
was of the better clam. Both mantle fabrics and ordinary
cloths were in good demand, and a fair business took place.
The former are rather earlier in price, but cloths command
firm rates. The slight alteration in the quotations of wool
at the sales (if it has any effect in this market) will probably
give a little more firmness, as Sydney wools, which are
chiely used in good cloths, have unstained previous priors,
the reduction being in Victories, which are most used for
combing purpome.
HARDWARR—Bimuuonan, MAY s.—No improve-
ment has yet taken place in the trade of this town : the
manufacturers are complaining of the scarcity of orders, the
great majority of them being dependent upon such as may
come in damns keeping their men employed. Fortu-
nately, up to his time there have been sufficient for the
purpose, comparatively few instances being reported in
which the workpeople have been put on short time. The
foreign trade is extremely doll ; this it is which is the prin-
cipal cause of the languid condition in which trade here has
been for the last few weeks, though the country orders, espe-
cially from the northern districts, are certainly less than
the average, except as regards the fancy trades, in which
there is a fair amount of business doing. But, notwith-
standing all the complaints about trade being dull, there
has been a great quantity of goods turned out
of late, it being not until the last week that manufacturers
have been making up for stock, and that has been only
very artial. Any reaction in the home trade, however
sir t, would be at once felt, but unless it take place before
this month is out we shall have a quiet quarter as a set-off
against the last, in which business was unusually good.
In the district the iron trade continues dull ; the coal
trade is very good, remarkably so for the time of year.

GORN.-CAIIIMIDGE, MAT 5.-Wheat was la. lower
than last week. Oats quite as deer. No other cheage.

our market this morning, at a decline of from 6d. to 9d. on
last week. Barley and oats small supply, and rather more
money given.
OOLCIONSTIM, MAT 5.-A small supply of wheat and
other grain. Wheat could readily have been disposed of,
if farmers would have given way in price Is. ; this they
would not do generally, hence but little business. Barley
and peas obtained full prices, and beans an advance of ls.
GLOUCESTER, MAT 5.-Since the date of our last, there
has been a complete change in the weather, the sun very
powerful during the daytime, with • higher temperature at

HIERI7ORD, MAT 5.-We had again a small offer of wheat
at market today, trade dull at Is. per load lees money,

LZICIDITER, MAT 5.-There Wee a pretty fair attendance
of farmers and Aldan at our corn market today, and the

(which came to market sparingly) met a fair sale, and
transactions were effected at 31s. to 345. for old, and 28a.
to 31s. per 24 stone for new sorts. The bran trade was

Newcurte, MAY 5.-At our market this morning we
had • fair show of wheat from the growers, and having
very little offering from the stand+, the trade opened very
firmly at the extreme rates of this day se'mught, upon
which terms a ready clearance of farmers' sample. was
effected, the choicest Dew red selling at 555. to tee., and
white in proportion. Of new south country our market
is comparatively bare, and such descriptions were inquired
for ; whilst new Griefswald met attention at 565. per
5041 M., and old mixed Konigsberg, quality not extra,
realised the same money. Flour was held with confidence,
and we look for more freedom of sale next week. Iti e,
of which we have not given the value for some tine, on
amount of its being comparatively neglected, is now coming
into favour and we quote extra Norfolk and Dantaic at
40e per 400Iha. Malting barley in slow request ; grinding ,
ou the contrary sells steadily at rather under tie rates
recently current. Malt much as before. Beans andyeas
unchanged. Oats firm, and inclining upward. The arrivals

NOTTINGHAM, MAY ''.er-At our corn market this morning
there was more wheat offering than has bees exhibited for
the last few weeks, and samples were in fair coudition. The
amount of business transacted was small, at about kat
week's rates. Old white qualities moved off at 555. to
61s. • old red, 53a. to 59e. ; new white, 545. to 60s. ; new
rd, 545. to 595. per 36 stone. The supply of barley was
again only small, and the demand proved firm at the ex-
treme currencies of the week previous for all kinds ; malt-
ing, 395. to 475. ; foreign &tale, 41s. to El.. per qr. ; grind-
ing, 30s. to 325. per 30 stone. A fair amount of business
was transacted in oats at rather more money ; old, 30.. to
33e. ; new, 275. to 30s. per 24 stone. Beaus moved off at an
improvement of Is. per qr. ; old made 4/ts. to 525. ; new,
465. to 495. per 38 stone. Super flour, 41s. to 455. ; fine,
38a. to 40s. per 20 stone.
OXFORD, MAY 5.-The supply of wheat as compared with
the last few weeks was ahead insignificant, and although
prices declined liminess was anything but brisk ; white
wheat ruled from 525. to Ms. per quarter. Very few
samples of barley showing, in fact this grain seems to be
exhausted in this neighbourhood. Oats were worth from
Ms. to 335. Beans were scarce, and were readily bought
up at an advance of from 2s. to 38. per quarter on this day
se'nnight. Peas realised from 425. to 445. Flour in de-
mand at 38e. per sack. Beat hay, Si. per ton.
PLIIIRDOROUOII, MAY K-At our market to-day we
had a good supply of wheat, which met a slow ale at Is. to
2s. per qr. under the prices of this day week. Barley,
none offering. Oats Is. per qr. dearer. Beansmake more
money. Wheat, best red, 525. to 535. • common ditto,
495. to 51s. per 5041 be. • nate, ls. 3d. to 4d. per stone ;
Leans, 45e. to 465. per i32llis.
RZADING, MAY 5.-Our market was fairly supplied with
wheat. Holders asked late prices, and therefore at the
early part of the market business was in a state of stagna-
tion, and prices unaltered. A limited trade in barley. A
brisk trade in oats at fully Is. advance. Beans and peas
firm Wheat, 401. to 59e. • barley, 30s. to 458. •, oats,
18s. to 325. ; beans, 42a to 5125. ; peas, 38s. to 46e. Flour ;
households, 425. ; seconds, 38s. per sack.
Rocneirrea, Mar 5.-Although the supplies brought for-
ward were fair for the season of the year, business, on the
whole, ruled exceedinglyinanimate, and a concession of Is.
to 2s. per quarter had to be made before millers would
listen to any offers. A moderate amount of business was
done on the easier terms mentioned, but the bulk of the
wheat brought to market was returned as unsold. There
was a sparse supply of barley, as the season for malting may
now be said to be at an end; malting, however, maintains
its value, and good samples command attention at full
rates. In grinding there was next to nothing passing, and
prices barely supported those of last market. The oat trade
was without alteration, and the demand very slow. Good
beans are scarce, and becoming dearer ; some superior lota
were quoted at is. per quarter higher. In peas there was
no alteration, with little business doing.
WIRBECH, Mar 5.-We have but a small supply of
wheat at our market to-day, and farmers being unwilling
to submit to any decline, there war but little business doom
at Is. per qr. under the rates of last week. Spring corn
very mane and rather dearer. Prices to the grower :-
Wheat, white, Ms. to 53e. ; extra, 555. 631bs. per bushel;
ditto red, 49e. to 525. • extra, ; oats, la ld. to
Is. 2d. per stone ; beans, 4"2e. to 45e. per qr.
WORCRSTER, MAY 5.-At this da's market there was a
large supply of wheat, most of which was taken away un-
sold, as holders would not generally submit to the decline
of Is. to `2a. per qr. insisted on by the buyers. Barley firm,
and quite as dear. Oda and beans further advanced 6d. to
Is. per qr.
YORK, MAY 5.-The show of wheat from the growers at
today's corn market was about an average for the season,
and the anodes shown (both old and new) were of good
quality. Farmers held out for last week's rates, therefore
little beldame was done ; white sorts realised 565. to Ms.,
and redtik. to 545. per 36 stone. The demand for super
barley was steady, and the supply being meagre late quota-
tions were fully maintained, namely, 40s. to 445. per qr.;
grinding may also be quoted firm at 325. to 345. per 30 stone.
The supply of oats was only middling, but the inquiry ruled
tolerably active at an advance of M. on late terms, prices
varying from 275. to 30s. per 24 stone. In beau a plight
advance wee also obtained, 445. to 48s. per 38 stone being
the currencies. Bye, 365.; malt, 68s. to 70e. per quarter.
Flour, 395. to 41s. per sack.
KIRKCALDY, MAY 5.-At our country markets, this week,
we had little wheat offering, and any sales made were in
favour of buyers. Oats offer very sparingly, and barley
seems completely exhausted. Here, to-day, we had a good
supply of wheat, small of barley, and moderate of oats.
Saes slow, at a reduction of Is. on wheat and barley, sad
6d. per qr. on oats. Wheat, 48s. to 555. per qr. ; barley,
35a. to 395. ; eats, Vs. to 325. 6d.
WATLRFORD, MAY 5.-The weather, which in the early
part of the week was mild and genial, has again become dry
sad parching, and rain is much wanted for the country.
Our supplies of home-grown grain have been most trifling,
but the arrivals from abroad are to a fair extent. The dull
accounts received from the English markets have had a de-
pressing effect on the trade here, and the value of nearly
all articles ha. somewhat receded since this day se'nnight.
Irish wheat may be written ls. per barrel, and foreign about
3d. to 6d. per barrel cheaper. Barley maintains late rates,
bat oats have given way 3d. to 6d. per barrel the last
day or two. At the decline there is more disposition for
business. The demand for Indian corn has been rather
limited, purchasers having supplied themselves very freely
of late, and the advance of last week has been lost. Flour,
6d. per sack cheaper. Imports this week:-Wheat,
3,800 qrs. • Indian corn, 565 ,• flour, 460 sacks. Exports
this week :'-Oats, 4,390 barrels ; floor, 690 sacks ; Indian
corn, 600 barrels; oatmeal, 40 seeks.

CATTLE.—Wivroe Sr. Geogoes Bever AND Came
FMB, MAY 4.—The numbers of sheep and lambs penned
were much below the usual avenge. The trade in all
descriptions was steady, and continued so to the end of the
fair with a good clearance of everything penned, at the fol-
lowing averages :—Couples, 445. fie ; tegs, from 32.. to
425. ; prime lotA sold it higher prices. Mr. H. Bone,
of Avon, near Ringwood, exhibited a pen of very fine
wetter Vv., allowed to be tho best ever penned at this
fair, which carried off the first prize given by the
tion. These ergs were bred by Messrs. Rawlence,c7l:l--
bridge, and won the cup at Britford fair, in August last, as
lambs. This is the second year that lambs from the flock
of these gentlemen have won both cups under Mr. Bone's
judicious grazing. The second prise was awarded to Sir
Edward Hulse, Bart., of Bremen House, for the next best
100 wetter tap penned, which were also a fine lot of sheep.
The cow and horse fair was short, and sold readily at good
prices. In the machinery department a very large quantity
was exhibited and sold.
