Fourths, 86s ; and Fifths, 72s per..cwt.

GLASGOW CORN MARKET.—MARCH 4.
There was a dull market to day, and a reduction of 3d
to 6d on foreion wheat did not induce business. British
was tolerably firm. Flour was slow, and the turn cheaper.
There were few buyers of barley at former rates. Oats
and oatmeal were unaltered in value. Beans were in fair
request, and were the turn dearer. Indian corn steady.

Bank of London.
Of SHAKESPEARE'S HOUSE.—The trustees of the new fund
created by Mr. John Shakespeare, who devoted £2,500
to the purpose, have proceeded with so much diligence
and despatch, that the habitation in which there is every
reason to suppose our greatest dramatist was born, is now
entirely separated trom other buildings which formerly
adjoined it —Ather,crum.
A return moved for by Mr. William Williams. and issued
on Saturday, shows that in the year 1853 the total number
of persons in the naval service that suffered corporal
punishment was 808, and the total number of lashes
(varyir, from 48 to 2in each case) 24,959. In 1854 the
number flogged was 1,214, and the lashes administered
35,579; and In 1855 the punishments amounted to 1,333,
and the lashes to. 45,154.
TITLES OF PURCHASERS OF IRISH ESTATES .—A bill of
Mr Whiteside M.P., and Mr. Napier, M.P., makes sundry
arrangements for securing the titles of purchasers of
estates sold under the Irish Court of Chancery. The pre-
amble recites the expediency of removing certain technical
difficulties in suits for the sale of lands in Ireland, under
the said Court, and rendering the titles of purchasers
secure and indefeasible.
PRIVILEGE OF REPORTS.—The following is the Select
Committee appointed on Lord Campbell's motion in refer-
ence to the privilege of the publication of reports of public
assemblies :—Lord Chancellor, Lord Privy Seal, Earl of
Derby, Earl Stanhope, Earl of Carnarvon, Earl Grey,
Lord Lyttleton, Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Brougham, Lord
Campbell, Lord Overstone, Lord St. Leonard's, Lord
Wensleydale, and Lord Belper. The committee met on
Friday, and adjourned to the 27th of March.
THE ASIIOVER BURGLARY.—A clue to the discovery of
the rest of the gang concerned in the burglary of the house
of the Rev. J. Nodder has been got. The prisoner is
recovering from his wounds. A sum of £6 found on him
he has instructed his brother to expend in getting counsel
to defend him. Miss' Heetey, the young lady so seriously
injured, is recovering. Great satisfaction is felt through-
out Derbyshire at the gallant conduct of Mr. Nodder,
who, although upwards of 70 years of age, is as active as
,ny min of much younger years. It is in contemplation
to present the rev. gentleman with a silver mounted
revolver.— [Rather a queer presentation to a reverend
divine.]
THE CALIFORNIAN PEN.—The everlasting question of
" is this a good pen" has been answered by Mr. E. T. Hall
of South John street; who has succeeded in producing a
metallic pen, which he designates—not inaptly—as above.
Thei e is hardly anything more annoying than a bad pen—
every one knows the misery. The pen made by Mr. Hall is
fit for any hand to use—light or heavy—and, what is of the
greatest value, it does not corrode, but will work with equal
facility in any ink. From experience of metallic pens, we
can say that this one, which is polished as gold, and will
last nearly as long, is the best one we have ever used. One
box, containing six dozen pens, sent free on receipt of 2s 6d
in postage stamps. Agents wanted for the country.—

wholesale and retail stationer, 19, South John street
respectfully intimates to merchants, traders, and dealers,
that he has been appointed sole agent for the sale of Foley's
celebrated American Gold Pens, which are universally
acknowledged to be far superior to any other manufactured
either in America or this country, They are sold cheaper,
are made of the best gold, with superior points, and are
warranted to wear at least ten years. In America they
have been extensively used for that period, and are pre.
