CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were dull
for wheat, the prices of which had a downward tendency.
Barley and malt—owing to the increased supplies on offer—
were heavy, and lower to purchase. Both beans and peas,
as well as flour, moved off slowly.
The latest advices from New York, state that only a
moderate business was doing in grain and flour on English
account. The continental markets have been very firm.
At Odessa, immense quantities of wheat have changed
hands. Up to our market last week, the arrivals of Eng-
lish grain were very moderate. The imports were-
-43,047 quarters of wheat, 4,462 of barley, 23,237 oats, 722
beans, 6,226 peas, 51 tares, 12 rapeseed, 37 mustard seed,
and 696 sundry seeds.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat coastwise were on a very moderate scale. By land
carriage from the midland districts there was a slight in-
crease in the receipts. The show of samples of both red
and white was by no means extensive. Notwithstanding
that the attendance of buyers was rather limited, the de-
mand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady,
and last Monday's prices were well supported. Nearly
the whole of the supply changed hands. For forward de-
livery very little business was transacted.
The show of foreign wheat was rather extensive. Good
red Baltic parcels were in fair request, at last week's cur-
rency. All other kinds met a slow sale, but we have no
change to notice in the quotations.
In floating cargoes a few transactions took place, at ex-
treme currencies.

We had a dull market for barley—the show of which
was good—at a decline in prices of is per quarter.
The demand for malt was heavy, and to effect sales,
rather lower prices were accepted.
We were well supplied with oats, in which a full average
business was doing, at last week's currency.
Beans were in brisk request, at a rise of 2s per quarter.
Peas moved off steadily, on former terms.
The flour trade was far from active. In prices no change
took place.

The imports of foreign stock into London last week
were good, viz., 7,880 head. During the corresponding
period of 1852, we received 4,612 ' • in 1851, 7,797; in
1850, 5,815 ; in 1849, 5,486 ; in 1848, 2,517; and in 1847,
4,529 head.

The receipts of new cotton at New Orleans, up
to the 28th ult„ compared with those to the same
date of last year, are reported to fall short by
180,000 bales.

United States' stocks to the amount of $573,850
had been redeemed at the Treasury Department,
Washington, for the week ending 29th October.
The funds in hand at the Treasury Department at
the same time, subject to draught, were put down
at $25,958,756.
The Halifax Chronicle, of the 28th ult., states
" that information from the Gut of Canso had
reached that city, stating that a fleet of about 100
sail of United States' fishing vessels were encroach-
ing upon the fishery at Fox Island, in pursuit of an
immense shoal of mackerel, and were committing
flagrant depredations upon the property and per-
sons of the fishermen belonging to that place and
neighbourhood." In consequence of this report
Sir George Seymour immediately ordered the
Bonita, Lieut. Bridges, to get ready for a cruise
in that direction for the protection of British in-
terests, and she had accordingly sailed.
Havannah accounts of the 22d ult. state that
the Captain-General had issued the following
decree :
"In view of the calumnious assertions contained in a
periodical called the Daily News, published in London
on the 31st of August, against superior authorities, &c.,
of the Island of Cuba, under pretext of the reprobated
slave trade, and in view also of the disposition of the
journal, the injurious language of which does grievous

i towards objects the dearest to and most venerated
by Spaniards, the Captain-General has ordered the pro-
hibition of the entry into the island of such foreign jour-
nal, and of every other in which untrue articles are in-
serted."

The rumour relative to a convention between
England and Spain for the eventual abolition of
slavery and the adoption of the apprenticeship
system in Cuba was still the chief topic of conver-
sation at Havannah.
Advices from Vera Cruz to the 21st. ult. an-
nounced that the battle between the Yucatan revo-
lutionists and the Mexican troops lasted eight days,
and that large numbers of the former had fled to
the mountains.

Letters published in the New York Herald from
Honduras state that the Inter-oceanic Railroad sur-
veying party had discovered a new route, which
would enable persons going from New York to
reach California seven days earlier than by the way
of Panama. The route is represented at straight
and nearly level, and passes through rich silver and
other mines. The New York stock-market was
firmer, with large sales—Six per Cents. of 1867
brought 123. New York State Fives of 1855 were
at 104 ; and Tennessee State Fives, at 91. The
sales of railroad bonds were also large.
There was very little alteration in the money-
market. Loans on call on first-class securi-
ties could be obtained at 7 per cent. discount ;
on first-class paper ruled at 12 to 15 per cent. ;
and on railroad notes, at four and six mouths',
from 15 to 24 per cent, per annum. Foreign
exchange was dull. Bills on London, 109/ to
1094 ; Paris, 5 121 to 5 llf ; Amsterdam, 414 to
41i; Hamburg, 36i to 361. But little business
was doing in the New York cotton market, and no
change in prices. Flour in good demand at au
advance of 12i- cents. per barrel. Wheat had also
advanced about 9 cents per bushel. Indian corn
was lower. Provisions were without material
change. Better inquiry existed for iron, and
Scotch pig realised from 35 to 36 dols. per ton, at
six months.

Freights to London.—Tobacco, 60s. per hogs-
head ; flour, 4s. 6d. to 4s. 9d. per barrel ; turpen-
tine, 55. per 2801 b. ; measurement goods, 30s. to
355. per ton ; grain, 15d. to 16d. per bushel.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. I.—The cotton market
was unsettled yesterday by the Arctic's news, and
the sales barely reached 1,000 bales. This morn-
ing the market is active, and already 4,000 bales
have been sold. Middling is at 9c. to 9ic. Super-
fine flour is selling at 6 dols. 90c. to 7 dols. Corn
dull at 65c. to 70c. Mess pork, 16 dols. Rice
dull at 51c. for new crop.

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN SMOOTH.
—DESPERATE ATTEMPT OF A YOUNG MAN TO SHOOT
HIS LOVER.—On Thursday Henry Dobbs, a waiter be-
longing to Newcastle, a well-dressed respectable look-
ing young man, was brought up in custody, before the
Tynemouth borough magistrates, charged with shooting,
with intent to kill, Margaret Musgrove Beaumont, a
domestic servant belonging to the Commercial Hotel.
It seems that Dobbs had an engagement to marry
Beaumont, and at her invitation had come down to see
her on Sunday. They, however, had had some words,
and she had left him in a tiff in the evening, and was
shortly after noticed walking with another young man.
Dobbs had come to the house afterwards and found her
with the stranger. A scene had ensued, and Beaumont
_
