MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The present week's arrival of English Wheat up to our
market, coastwise, has been very moderate, viz., 2,670
quarters. By hod carriage, the receipts of that grain fresh
up to-day were limited, and the show of samples of both
red and white were small; nevertheless, the demand for all
kinds, owing to the thin attendance of buyers, and the pre-
vailing fine weather for the growing crops, ruled heavy in
the extreme, and Monday's prices were nominally unaltered,
The imports of foreign Wheat have amounted to 9,410 quar-
ters. All descriptions were very dull in sale, but we have no
change to notice in the quotations. Floating cargoes of
grain were quite neglected. Egyptian Wheat 28a per quarter.
No English Barley was brought forward; but the supply
of Foreign was good. Only a moderate business was doiag,
yet prices were well supported. Malt —the show of which
was limited—moved off slowly, at late rates. We were well
supplied with Oats, all kinds of which moved off heavily,
and low qualities were a shade lower. Beaus and Peas
sold at previous quotations. In Flour next to nothing was
doing.

The supply of Beasts on offer in to-day's market was sea-
sonably- extensive as to number, but very deficient in qua-
lity. All breeds were dull in sale, at a decline in the prices of
Monday of 2d per Blbs, the best Scots having sold at 3s Bd.
per Blbs. With Sheep we were fairly supplied. The de-
mand for that description of stock was steady at late rates.
Lambs, the numbers of which were extensive, moved off
readily at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. We had
a very dull inquiry for calves. Inferior Veal gave way 2d
per 81bs. The Pork trade was exceedingly inactive. Milch
Cows moved off slowly at from 161 to 191 each, including
their small Calf.

SUGAR.— There has been very little brought to sale during
the present week, and buyers have been equally inactive, in
consequence of the attention paid to the elections. Barba-

been without alteration.

West Indies, part sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale,
realised good prices, the condition being fine. The stock of
Nuts is diminishing. Barcelona reduced to a small quantity,
Messina to a few bags, Black Spanish finished, Smyrna en-
tirely out of first hands, excepting one parcel of old.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
(THIS DAY.)
DECLARATION OF THE POLL.
The result of the poll fur the Westminster election was
officially declared from the hustings in Covent-garden this
afternoon. Sir John Shelley was the first candidate in at-
tendance, and his reception was warm and enthusiastic. The
Hon. Baronet, who came alone on horseback wore a large
dark crimson rosette. Mr. Coninghain arrived next, accom-
panied by several of his influential supporters, and was
greeted with partial applause. Sir De Lacy Evans, although
one of the successful candidates, seemed to be still un-
popular with the multitude, and his appearance
upon the hustings was a signal for an an out-
burst of groans mingled with a few faint cheers from
some of his enthusiastic admirers, some of whom insisted
upon. Pressing forward and giving a vigorous shake of the
Lord' Maidstone was received with unmistakable
signs of disapprobation, and directly he came upon the scene
behind the hustings the Noble Lord held an animated con.
versation which almost amounted to an angry altercation.
It was intimated that the declaration of the poll would
take place at (lie o'clock, but it was long past that hour be-
ford Mr. Smedley, the High Bailiff, presented himself to the
electors. He announced the result of the poll to be as
follows :--

Sir John Shelley •.• ... ..• 4,199
Sir De Lacy Evans ... ••• ••• 3,756
Lord Maidstone ... ... ... ... 3,373
Mr. Coningham ...
... ... ••• 1,716
and he therefore declared that the election had fallen upon
Sir John Shelley and Sir De Lacy Evans.
Sir JOHN SHELLEY returned thanks for his election, but
he was too much exhausted to detain them with a lengthened
address.—(Hear, hear.) He looked upon the result of this
election as a glorious triumph for the cause of Free-trade and
Reform.—(Cheers) They had returned to Parliament an
English gentleman and a practical farmer, who had through
good report and evil report supported the cause of Free-
trade, and he felt himself rewarded to-day for the course he
had hitherto followed.—(Hear, hear.) Farming, if it was
carried on as a business, could be as successful as any other
commercial speculation, and he trusted the result of the
general election that was now going on would set the
question of Protection at rest for

term all abuses, and he should care not whence the
measures
came, they should only have his support when they were
calculated to benefit the entire community.—(Cheers.). He
should join no party, but consider himself free and inde-
pendent to pursue such a course as he thought best suited
to promote the general welfare of the country. - (Cheers.)
A VOICE—Will you support the game-laws?

SOUTHWARK ELECTION.
(THIS DAY.)
OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL.

This afternoon, at half- past one o'clock, the official declara-
tion was made at the Town-ball, High-street, Southwark,
by Mr. Pritchard, the High Bailiff, showing the numbers
polled for, the respective candidates for the Southwark
eleCtion.
Sir William Molesworth, Mr. Apsley Pellatt, and Mr.
Scovell, arrived at twenty minutes to one, and were received
by loud applause from the assembled multitude, who re-
mained quiet for upwards of half-an-hour, when Mr.
Pritchard, the -returning-officer, made his appearance, and
was greeted with hisses and groans at the delay, which it
appeared arose from the returns not being completed.
After a few minutes bad elapsed order was obtained, when
the High Bailiff announced the following as the official re-
turn of the numbers polled:—
Sir William Molesworth... .. 3,941
Pellatt ... 3,887
Scovel
„. ... 2,909
which were received with loud and long-continued cheering.
Mr. PRITCHARD, therefore, declared Sir William Moles-
worth and Apsley Pellatt, Esq., duly elected as their represen-
tatives in the next Parliament.

Great applause followed this announcement, after which
!Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH came forward and was well
received, thanking the electors for the high honour conferred
upon him, and concluded by gating his intentions for the
future.

Mr. APSLEY PELLATT also addressed the assembly, and
was followed by Mr. IS COVELL, the unsuccessful candidate.
A vote of thanks having been given to the High Bailiff,
the proceedings then terminated.

brief.merneir of Sir Atchibald, whom, as the bicw
grapher happily remarks, " our l',linisters have lately

The " Ballad of Sir John Franklin" possesses
mournful charm ; there is a simple eloquence -about
some of the stanzas, but the execution is on the whole
not equal to the design. The criticism on Guizot's
" CAmeille and his Times". is very attractive. "

RI CAL RE VIE W.

In the contents of this number there is an article
on Northern Mythology, concerning the popular tra-
ditions of Scandinavia, &C. Pope's imitation of the
letter of Abelard to Eloise is very entertaining, and
it is, doubtl2se, new to many readers as far as regard§
the Latin letters. The first part of the life of Leib-
nitz conveys much instruction, and possesses a great
deal of interest. All must be gratified to have
nearer insight afforded them of the character of so
distinguished a man. The "Ironmongers of London,
"The Oxford Colleges," &c., contain a great deal of
information for those desirous of improving their
knowledge on such subjects.

These are the third numbers of these little works'
which are intended for the young. The " Picture
Pleasure Book" contains a great number of little
sketches, well calculated to amuse and occupy chi!'
dren. The "Charm" is intended for those more ad'
vanced, and contains some instructive articles on be"
loons and the tiger. " Grimm's Household Storiee
are chiefly well known fairy tales.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The chief articles in the Eclectic Review are on
" Taylor's Wesley and Methodism," and Lunar"
tine's History of the Restoration,— Chambers's Edin'
burgh Journal contains its usual variety, among which,
may be noticed" The Prosaic Spirit of the Age," and
" A Visit to the Scene of the Holmfirth
The Ladies' Companion commences with a " Memoir
of Mademoiselle de Lespinasse," by the late Countess'
of Blessington. No. IV. of " The Woman of the
Writers," by Mrs. Cowden Clarke, is devotes
to Cervantes. A portrait of Miss Milford,
when a child, will doubtless form a great at'
traction to = that lady's numerous admirers.-
The Farmer's Magazine presents a portrait of the
Earl of Ducie, and a short-horned cow, the peeped,'
of Lord Feversham, to which was awarded the first
prize and a silver medal at the Smithfield cattle AO,
in December.—A variety of theological and religions

work, conveying much information on works of ante
science, and literature, at a very moderate price.—The
excellent series of Penny Maps have reached thee
twenty-fourth number. Those for the present month
represent China and the Arctic regions.—The plates
of Le Follet are, as usual, the most attraa"
tivo part.—The British Journal kilns a strik"
ing contrast to the generality of cheap sea
rials, as many Ivan-known authors contribute
to its pages. Among these we may mention the
interesting sketches of Frances Brown, and the
amusing papers of Angus B. Reach. There are also
some very pleasing verses by J. C. Carpenter, en'
titled " Be•,utiful Streams," which are well suited to
music.—Sharpe's London Magazine has commence

It presents us with the first chapter of a tale entitled
" The Lucky Penny," by the editress, which pro-

uncertain, soon recovered himself, and poured out the mele:

no ordinary energy. As an ensemble the Purztani of last
night was a remarkable performance. The enthusiasm of
the house was great, but by no means greater than the oe"

upon them so as to prevent their reaching the line. They
describe the water as coming down like a cataract, and
breaking up the line of embankment, and so vast was the
torrent made by it that a body of water six feet deep rushed
down the cutting through which the line passed, carrying
everything before it, sweeping away the heavy rails like
straws, and leaving marks of its course high up the banks on
each side of the line. There is no passenger traffic on this
branch, or the consequences might have been very serious-

attach the car preparat3ry to the ascent, through some Dais'
management of the persons who held it, the balloon sud-
denly escaped trona the netting, and, bounding off with great
velocity, completely unattached, rolled over and over as it
ascended, while the gas visibly expanded, until having
attained ascended,

appearing like a luminous circle around it, after which the

committee appointed to inquire into the naval, ordnance,
and commissariat establishments and expenditure in the
colonies have been printed, with the Treasury minutes and
the correspondence relating thereto. In their final report.
dated the 12th of April last, the Committee recapitulated investigations the
result of their
in o the civil establishments of
the shove services abroad, recommending several arrange-
ments, by which
a large public saving will be effected, in
consolidating analogous duties, and changing the allowances
made for forage,
&c.The chief points noticed in the report
for the attention of Government are the expenses of main-
twining the :
numerous outposts in some of the colonies, and
the
questionable propriety of continuing the allowances to
the staff and other departments abroad without reference to
the likelit99Cl Of theq belpg called lute active fOtrlica*
