CORN Ek.--CII.ANGE.

During the present week the arrivals of English wheat
up to market coastwise have been on a very moderate scale,
but in somewhat improved condition. By land carriage
the receipts fresh up to-day was limited; hence the show
of samples was small. The attendance of buyers was by
no means numerous, yet the demand for most kinds of
wheat of home produce ruled steady, at Monday's prices.
For forward delivery very little was doing.
The imports of foreign wheat having been extensive,
the sale for that description of grain was in a sluggish
state. In the quotations, however, no change took place.
Floating cargoes realised full currencies.
With both English and foreign barley we were rather
scantily supplied. Good heavy parcels realised full curren-
cies ; but all other kinds commanded you little attention.
Malt—the show of which was good—moved off very
slowly, at late rates.
We were but moderately supplied with oats, in which s
fair amount of business was transacted, at unaltered quo-
tations.

Beans, peas, and flour dull, but not cheaper.

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market was but
moderate, and in very middling condition. For all breeds
we experienced a dull inquiry, and, in some instances, the
quotations were a shade lower than on Monday. Although
the numbers of sheep were comparatively limited, the de-
mand for that description of stock was heavy, and prices
gave way 2d per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was
tolerably good—ruled very dull, at 5s to 6s per 81bs. The
supply of calves was extensive for the time of year. Prime
veal changed hands slowly, at late rates : but other
qualities were 2d per 81bs lower. Pigs were very dull, at
our quotations.

Mach cows moved off slowly, at from 151. 10s. to 191. 10s.

DEATH OF AN ECCENTRIC PERSON.—About three
weeks ago
a gentleman of •the name of Mr. James Lit-
tle, a bachelor; 63 died, having been unwell only a few
weeks. About aweek before his death he made his will
ppointing two respectable gentlemen of Chowbent as
his executors. After his death large sums of money were,
found secreted in different parts of the house wrap Pen
in rags and paper, amounting to nearly 2,000/. in guineas,
sovereigns, notes, and silver, some of the latter of very
ancient date, and a great number of watches and silver
plate. The house is completely crowded with furniture,
&c., of all descriptions. The deceased lived by. himself;
without servant, a distant female relative going occa-
sionally to clean, &c. With the exception of her, veil
few were admitted into the house. The bulk of his ,
pro-
perty, which is land, houses, &c., will go to some hair
cousins in Yorkshire. Some days after, on making
inventory of the goods for sale, and examining an 9s
dark room full of lumber, an additional sum of upwar"as
of 800/. in gold, in old rags, covered with chip
was
found. The most singular part of the affair is; hat
will has not yet been found. He was never in any Par
ticular business,— Wigan, Times
