CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of samples of English wheat here to-day was
very small. For both red and white qualities, however, the
trade was in a sluggish state, at fully Monday's decline in
the quotations.

Wtth foreign wheat the market was well supplied, and
all descriptions moved off heavily at the late reduction in
their value.

Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, and prices
were with difficulty supported.

Malting barley sold steadily at late currencies, but grind-
ing and distilling sorts were in slow request, on former
terms.

The malt trade was inactive, yet no change took place in
prices.

For all kinds of oats there was a fair demand, and the
quotations were supported.

The inquiry for both beans and peas was very moderate,
at previous rates.

All descriptions of flour met a heavy sale at Monday's
'all in tha quotations.

EXTRACT OF ♦ DESPATCH FROM LORD LYONS TO EARL

RUSSELL.
Dated Washington, December 31, 1861.
(Received January 15, 1862.)
I have the honour to enclose herewith to your lordship
a copy of a note from Mr. Seward to the Secretary of the
Navy, which has been communicated to me to-day by Mr
Seward, referring to the fact of a British schooner, the
James Campbell, captured for breach of blockade, having
been brought into Now York, with the British flag fly
ing :under that of the United States; Mr. Seward con-
demns thi; act in the strongest terms; the act was dis-
avowed with equal promptitude by the naval authorities of
the United States, under whose notice it was brought.

Enclosure in Lord Lyons' Despatch.
Department of State, Washington,
Dec. 31, 1861.
To the Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy.
Sir,—This department has received unofficial informa-
tion that the schooner James Campbell, captured by the
blockading squadron, was carried into New York with the
British flag flying under that of the United States. This
unseemly act must have been occasioned by a misappre-
hension of his duty by the officer who ordered or allowed it.
I will, consequently, thank you to give such orders as may
tend to prevent a repetition of the same,—l have, &c.,

(Signed)

H. SEWARD.
