HE MARKETS.-(THIS' DAY

CORN EXCHANGE.
There have been this week small supplies of English Grain,
and good of Foreign, which, at present, all goes to bond. The
extreme favourableness of the weather caused great indifference
on the part of the buyers, and Wheat scarcely maintained Mon-
day's terms. In most other Grains there was little variation,
and even Oats, though the supply was short, did not realize any.
further advance in prices. Flour was very little in demand, and
ship parcels lower.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.--,4 We have
had a flat market for Cotton to-day, and prices are rather
lower. The sales are 1,400 bags, all to trade."
New Brunswick Papers have been received to the 17th May,
the following is an extruct :
FOURTEEN PERSONS BLOWN UP.—On the evening of the
Ist instant, the store of Daniel Rush, in Hancock, was blown
to atoms, occasioned by the igniting of two open kegs of gill"
powder. There were fourteen persons in the building at thet
time ; six were dangerously wounded. Three of Mr. Rush '+
children were seriously injured; the younger, an infant in the
cradle, escaped unhurt. Those who first arrived at the scene
of ruin, seeing its little hand about the rubbish, removed the
fallen timber, and found the little innocent without even a
bruise, in the cradle.
Great agitation prevailed in the course of yesterday after.
noon, in consequence of a notice from the Bank Directors that
the rate of disc'mnts on bills of exchange would be in future at
5 per cent. After the above appeared, another was issued
stating that all further advances which may be made in pur-
suance of the Order of the Court of the 30th ult. will be at
the rate of 5 per cent. from the 20th June, and that such
advances will be made on Bills of Exchange only. By the
above it will be perceived that the Directors have not only
rescinded the notice of the 30th ult., whereby loans were made
upon Bills of Exchange, Exchequer Bills, and otherapproved Se-
curities until July 10, at 5 per cent., but the notices yesterday
posted at the Bank of England at present confines their ad-
vances only on bills of exchange, thus rescinding their former
advance& of the 30th. We have no doubt that the Bank Di-
rectors are in possession of certain information respecting
commercial affairs for adopting this measure, and it is generally
expected that in the course of that time it will have the effect to
improve the foreign exchanges as well as to prevent the draining
from the Bank of England of the precious metals ; added to this
the speculators in cotton at Manchester will be thwarted
in the monopoly of the above article.
Both the British and Foreign Markets have somewhat been
effected by the notices of the Bank Directors. Consols, which
closed yesterday 93% % for Account, and were in the morning
93% 3/4, opened this morning 93t. %: Reduced 921/8.

The general topic of conversation, and particu'arly among the
monied interest, relates entirely to the measures of the Bank
Directors in raising their discount to 5% per cent. on comma:
mercial paper. We hear that the discount brokers in genera.'
are in want of money, for which they allow the Bank a liberal
premium.

It i 3 expected that in a few days a further advance will take
place at the Bank from 5% per cent. to 6 per cent.

THE PARLIAMENTARY POCKET COMPA'
NION for 1839 has just attained its third edition. It well
deserves this success, for it is both extremely neat and
extremely useful, pretty on the outside and very serviceable
within. The present edition contains all the new
Peerages, even that of the late Speaker, and all the new
elections, even that of Hertford, which have taken place.
Its accuracy does great credit to Mr. Dodd, the author,
and its getting up to Messrs. Whittaker, the publishers.
