" NOTICE.

" Several complaints having been made that the figures
on the cards given by the drivers of h&c kney carriages are
not sufficiently large, cards of the following pattern,
printed in black ink, are to be used hereafter, and the
pattern inserted on the notice of July Bth is hereby can-
celled :

" The figures of the Stamp-office plate of each carriage
are to be printed on the card exactly of the size and cha-
racter of those in this pattern, and the card itself the size
of the pattern.
" The printing on the back of the card is added that the
proprietor may write his name and address thereon, which
will enable him to check the driver to whom the cards are
given, and prevent the improper use by other drivers of
cards with the number of his carriage.
" Proprietors are requested to enforce upon the drivers
the advantage of a strict compliance with the law requiring
a ticket to be given in every case to the hirer of the car-
riage when getting in ; this practice will give the public a
facility in tracing carriages, and prevent drivers from being
unjustly charged or suspected in cases of complaint by the
hirers.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Notwithstanding that the show of English wheat here
o-day was limited, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy,
at barely Monday's currency.
From abroad, the imports of wheat have amounted to
9,030 quarters. Good heavy parcels were held at full quo-
tations. In all other kinds little was doing, at barely
stationary prices.
Floating cargoes commanded very little attention.
We had a dull inquiry for barley, but no further decline
took place in prices. Malt was very dull, at late rates.
Fine old oats were scarce, and quite as dear as on Mon-
day. New Irish rather dull, and rather lower.
Beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly, but we have no
change to notice in prices.
