YESTERDAY'S Al A RICE TS.

DUBLIN (TORN : Au extremely lull ani depressed
demand for every description of grain, at last week's
reduction.

LEEDS CORN : Wheat in fair demand, at 2s decline.
Barley firm. Oats and beans dull.

HULL CORN : Show of wheat small, and farmers very
unwilling to sell at the decline quoted in other markets.
The business done was consequently small, at a decline of
2s to 3s from last Tuesday. The market closed much
firmer than it had commenced. No change in other
articles.

THE BLOCKADE IN THE BALTIC

Or► the 15tl► inst., the Imperieuse and Pylades got
under weigh li►r a cruise in the Gulf of Finland. The
Sound was completely frozen over, but the two vessels
made their way through it without difficulty. On get-
ileg outside, they found the sea perfectly smooth, and
the weather most agreeable. The main body of the ice
was, however, fallen in ss ith about 5.30 a.m. on Sunday,
when, from that time to 10 the ships passed through
thirty miles of it. At 7 a.m , the lmper►euse encountered
two small vessels from Lubeck, so imbedded in ice, that
it was impossink for them to proceed to their destina-
tion or return whence they came. The history of their
movements for the previous six weeks proves that,
instead of a brisk trade having been carried oa between
Russia and other countries, as was so confidently
asserted in England, the Russian ports have positively
been inaccessible to any vessel whatsoever.

BANQUET AT THE MANSION HOUSE

The Easter banquet at the Mansion House took place
on Monday. None of the cabinet ministers were present.
The Duke of Cambridge, in returning thanks for the
toast in honour of the naval and military services, said,
that the army and navy were now, after two years of a
desperate war, more efficient than in any former war,
were never more ready to do their duty, and, thanks to
the liberality of parliament and the country, in a higher
position than almost any other in the world He trusted,
however, we were on the eve of peace. Mr. Gladstone's
name was coupled with the toast of the House of Com-
mons. The right honourable gelitleman, in reply, said,
he trusted that the people were of opinion that the house
had been justified in voting freely and liberally the large
sums for a war, undertaken for no purpose of aggrandise-
ment, but solely in the cause of honest humanity and
justice. They might look with as much satisfaction as
any scenes of bloodshed could excite on the events of the
last two years. A period of returning peace was only
second in difficulty to the period of enering into a war.
He had no doubt but that the time for social and inter-
nal reform was approaching. There was one task which
he thought that returning peace would impose on the
House of Commons. It was that of restoring the
equilibrium of our finances, and of seeing where the
excessive burdens of our people could be lightened or
abrogated. It would require the most vigorous efforts
to bring matters into such a state as that during peace,
they might make adequate provision for the future'
security of the country.

The French Intendance at Constantinople have re-
ceived orders from Paris to suspend all purchases, and
were about to quit the buildings of the Russian Embassy.
THE ASSASSINATION OF MR. CALLAGHAN —Within the
last few days the police have arrested a man on suspicion of
his'being concerned in the late horrible assassination of Mr.
Callaghan near Portumna.
A poor fisherman, named Kilpatrick, residing at
Killyleagh, County Down, has lately become heir to no
less a sum than £16,000 by the death of an uncle in
America.

Three thousand five hundred dollars have been offered for
one share of the New York. Tribune. This would make the
100 shares, into which that establishment was divided a, few
years ago, worth 350,000 dols. The par value of each share
is 1,000 dols.

THE SHIP "„Coninua" CASE.—In the Irish Court of
Admiralty ou Saturday, Mr. Taylor, the proctor for the
purchasers of this ship, moved the court to confirm the
sa'e. The Cordelia was sold at Cork harbour, on the 16th
instant, under the decree of the court, and was purchased
by Messrs Syers and Walker, of London, for the sum of
£1,900. It appeared, however, that Messrs Syers and
Walker had only purchased in trust for another firm, Messrs
Ferns and Gold, of London, merchants, which latter parties
paid the purchase money to he marshal ; and Mr. Taylor
also moved that the bill of sale be executed to Messrs.
Ferns and Company. The court granted the application.
Mr. Hamerton, the proctor for the captain and crew of the
Cordelia, who had intervened in the suit, and obtained a
decree for their wages, then applied that the court might
direct the registrar to pay to him, as proctor for the
intervenients, a sum of £1,113, being the amount decreed
for wages and advances, as also their kettle money, to be
ascertained by the registrar. The court made the rule as
moved for
