MARIE-LLNIC.—(THIS DAY.)
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivslsof home-grown
wheat were very moderato. and the condition of oearly th•
whole of the produce was very middlieg. The few ha
samples on offer readily found buyers at Monday's c=
but damp produce wee warmly icquired after, at
prices.
Moderate supplies of foreign wheat were on ale. Mertz
all descriptions were in fair request, and late rates ware irem

suireriot cargoes of grids moved off slowly, on forme

terms.
Tbe sbow of barley was moderate. The trade for fins
maltils ruled firm, rand in grinding sod dietilliag
ng parce
sorts a fair amount of business was transuded at quite late
lutes.
In malt, sales progressed slowly on former terms.
Oais--tlas supply of which was bat moderate—changed
bands to a fair extent at full quotatious.
The inquiry for beans was limited at barely previous our-

resoles. -
In pees very little wee pasting; prier, however, remained
unaltered.
The Boer trade ruled quiet on former tame.
Lieseed sod reposed were Ann in prize ; but agricaltural

LIFEBOAT&

--- -----
She Earl of ILALYEBBURY gave notice that ea Friday
PIMA he should call the attention of the government to the
deficiency of lifeboats sod oilier appliances for ,sing
human life on the coasts of Greet Britaio end Ireland, slid
shove for returns of the number of lifeboats now appointed,
sad the names ci their stations.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.
The Earl of WINCHILSEA asked whether her Majesty's
ministers were prepared to reocanneed to parliament that
an indemnity should be granted out of the public purse to
all such peruse as have bees compelled to slaughter any
beast or beasts (nos offered for sale in say public, market,
is.), by order of an isapector appointed by or under the
authority claimed
tabyined the Lords of bee Majesty's Pricy
&anon to be con in the sot of 1848, 0. 107 ; sad
whether that set still continued in kroll. The noble earl
complained that wider that sot the Privy Commit
had ordered the deatructioa of cattle which bad not
bees exposed for sale at all, an order which wu
sot justified by the sot, consequently such destruction was
illegal, sad the owners of oaths so slaughtered had a
weird claim for coropensatioa.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, in reference to the last
question put by Lord Wischilssa, said a liberal, inter-
pretation had been put two' the sot which authorised the
Privy Council to make or&re, and if they hid is any way
overstepped the strict letter of the law, the injury done
was slight, sad could be remedied by granting compensation
to the owners.
Lord DERBY thought the council had exceeded its
powers, and the owners of cattle that had been slaughtered
ly order of the inspectors were legally and equitably
entitled to full compensation. Referring to the bills intro.
dead the previous evening in the other house, Lord Derby
urged the necessity for immediate action, and recommended,
=teed of proceeding with those bills, that resolutions
should be mmultaneouly introduced into both houses to
deal with the emergency.
Lord GREY objected to proceeding by resolutions, and
osggested that an agreement should be come to as to the
principles to be adopted, and that a bill embodying those
principles should be puled as rapidly as the forms of par-
lament would allow.
Earl RUSSELL—It must be understood that if the
bouts have been al.ughtered without sufficient authority
ty the inspectors there would be a legal remedy against
dism,, and that the government would of course not allow
them to suffer. As to the suggestion of the noble earl to
by resolutions, and thereby empower the Privy
to issue orders, h• agreed with the noble earl os
the cross bench (Earl Grey) that it would be a dangerous
ing, for there would arise the same question as to
Ceauthority of these rseolutiocs, because it would be int-
pueblo that they should provide for everything so
alautely se an act of parliament would. It would be much
later to swept the other suggestion, that those clause
which were the most urgently required should be passed
through the bonus in the ordinary way eery quickly. He
hoped that all these measures would be passed without any
delay. (Hear.)
adjourned at 20 minutes to 7 o'clock.
