is
quarter. The price of the best Essex and Kent wheat in
London being 665. per quarter; the difference shows that
wheat is 275. per quarter dearer in London than in Paris, or
70 per cent. ; and the 665. which in London buys only eight
bushels of wheat will in Paris procure 131- bushels of the
finest quality.
FLova.—The highest price of flour of " first mark," in
Paris, is 48 francs per 159 kilogrammes, equal to 30s. 3d.
per English sack of 280 lbs. The price of the best town
made flour in London being 555. per sack, shows fine flour to
be 245. 9d. per sack dearer in London than in Paris, or
nearly 82 per cent. ; and the same money which in London
will purchase but 280 lbs. of flour, will in Paris procure 509
pounds of the best quality.

THE CONVICT•PEGsWORTIL—The anxiety mani-
fested for the last fortnight by men of all grades in the metro-
polis, from the merchant to the mechanic, 13 as degradinr, as it
is nu-English, with respect to the ultimate fate of the above-
named convict. It was hoped that after the Act of the itith
of July, in respect of convicted murderers, had gone the round
of the public journals, there would have been an end to the in-
quiry at every step, " When will Pegsworth be executed?"
The report circulated on Monday morning was, that the Re-
corder went to Brighton on Saturday, when his Majesty or-
dered immediate execution. In consequence of this, as early
as six o'clock, groups had assembled in front of Newgatc, in
order to get " a front place," and when eight arrived, artizans,
labourers, boys, and, shameful to say, respectably dressed fe-
males were seen hastening to the " fatal arena " in front of the
debtors' door. With respect to the conduct of the penitent
convict, Ave are enabled to state that his contrition is as appa-
rently sincere as his physical powers aro astonishing to all who
visit and converse with him. The repot t will probably be
made by the Recorder in the course of next week.

HAY TRA DE.—We lately noticed the fact of hay
being imported from Yorkshire, by the Hull steamers to
Leith, at a rate considerably below the market price here.
The trade in this commodity is extending still farther; the
London dealers are now supplying the Scotch market with
excellent hay, much below the Yorkshire prices, and conse-
quently far below the present home price. The Royal Wil-
liam steam-ship arrived on Tuesday with a cargo f9i• AlF,ssrs.
