MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
very moderate. A few parcels were taken for export by
French buyers, and the trade ruled firm at the full prices of
Monday last.
The show of samples of foreign wheat was large. Ame-
rican wheats, whieh were inquired for by French buyers,
were held at extreme rates, Other descriptions fully sup-
ported Monday's currency, and a good retail business was
transacted. _

-----
Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at full quo-
tations. - - •

The supply of barley, both English and foreign, was very
small, and the trade ruled firm at very full prices.
Malt. commanded but little attention, at late rates.
The supply of oats was very large, and the trade ruled
heavy, at a reduction in prices of 6d per quarter.
Beans and peas, the supplies of which were small, com-
manded fully the prices of Monday.
Most kinds of flour were in fair request, at full cur-
rencies. Barrels were in limited demand for export to
France.

BOROUGH HOP.
We have to repoit a slow trade for all kinds of hops. The
demand is in a great measure confined to good and fine
parcels, which fairly support last week's currency. The
supply of foreign hops on sale is seasonably large. Ad vices
from the plantations state that considerable progress has
been made during the week, and that the prospects are very
favourable.

IMPERIAL P.

HOUSE OF LORDS--Last Evening.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
24.; five o'clock.

THE INDIAN NAVY.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH eaid he would on
Monday week present a petition from the East India Com-
pany, but he would ask on the present occasion a question
as to what arrangements had been made consequent upon
the abolition of the Indian navy. What he understood
was that all the war 'Acrvices formerly performed by the
Indian navy were t 4 be performed by the Crown, and the
conveyance of trordps and stores were to be conducted by
the Indian Government.

The Duke of SOMERSET replied that there would be
a small 10;:al navy provided by the Indian Government for
the purpose of conveying troops, but, as regarded the gene-
ral protection of India the Admiralty would be called upon
to provide. The noble lord then entered into the particu-
lars and extent of that navy.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUdH wished to know who
was to have the control of the navy.
The Duke of SOMERSET said the Governor-General
of ID diu would direct all its movements.

THE EXHIBITION BUILDING.

The Duke of RUTLAND then rose to put the question
of which he had given notice relative to the purchase of the
International Exhibition building. He thought it would be
a decided mistake to purchase the building, either on the
ground of usefulness or economy. It would be altogether
impossible to adapt the building, supposing the purchase
was effected, to the purposes for which it was intended.
Experience had always shown that attempts to convert large
buildings for purposes of an opposite nature for which they
had been erected had resulted in signal failure. As far as
economy was concerned the purchase was quite out of the
question, and instead of the building being offered at a
very advantageous figure he thought the price asked was
far more than its value, because it was only worth as much
as the materials of which it was constructed would leech in
the market, and that he supposed would no`-‘ exceed
£30,000. It had been been said that the architectural
features of the building were to be improved by
covering bricks with a coat of stucco, but nothing would
convert it into a sightly structure, He thought the best
thing that could be done was to remove the building alto-
gether, and to erect an entirely new one, adapted to the
purposes for which it was intended to alter the one now
standing. The noble earl concluded by asking his ques-
tion, which related to the state of the foundation of the Ex-
hibition building.

Earl GRA...NVILLE said he regretted the noble lord had
not stated the precise nature of his question when he put
his motion on the paper. With respect to eco-
nomy, the noble earl thought the bouse was
scarcely competent to deal with the question,
He thought it would be the better plan to got the very best
professional advice upon the matter that could be obtained,
and be guided by that. With'regard to taste, he did not
profess to be possessed of anli great taste, but he understood
the picture galleries that, had been erected were the finest
in the world. In reflerenee to the question of the noble
duke, he did not 'link it would be necessary to raze the
building to the ground before it could be made either a per-
manent or sy.itable one for the purpose proposed.
The Er...rl of DERBY said he should like to know, as the
grouno., upon which the building stood was to be sold for
£12`.),000, why a vote in the other house for its purchase
was only taken for £67,000.

Lord REDESDALE said it appeared to him the simple
question was should the building be removed or allowed
to remain. He thought the best thing that could be done
was to let the contractor clear the ground, because no
amount of money would ever make it an ornament or at-
traction to the metropolis.
The Earl of HARD WICKE said it was decided to pur-
chase the building, of which very little could be said by
way of admiration, they would buy a bad article, and all
the money that would be spent on it would never make it
a good one.

The Duke of ARGYLL said it was entirely a question of
evidence, 'With respect to the value of the materials, that
depended on the time the contractors had to remove them
Alter a few words in reply from the Duke of RUTLAND,
the subject dropped.
