CORN EXCHANGE.
Since Mon lay there has been a decided increase in the
arrivals of English wheat up to our market, coastwise and
by land carriage. To-day's market was moderate. The --
attendance of buyers being limited, the demand for all
kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and in some BL"'
instances prices were rather lower than on Monday.
We were well supplie with foreign wheat. Selected sam-
soid at barely previous rates. Low and middling
Tialities were considered is per quarter lower, with a dull
inquiry.
The show of barley was but moderate, yet the demand
Was heavy, at barely stationary prices.
In malt very little was doing, on former terms.
With oats we were well supplied. Sales.progressed
slowly, and the quotations were rather easier.
Beaus, peas, and Sour were unaltered.

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of beasts here to-day being very mPderate,
and the attendance of buyers on the increase, the demand
for that description of stock ruled brisk, at a further ad-
vance in the quotations of 2d par 81bs. The top figure was
58 per Ms. We were but moderately supplied with sheep
and lambs. Prime Down breeds mo.ed off steadily, at
full prices. Otherwise the demand was in a sluggish state,
but we have no actual decline to notice in the currencies.
Calves and pigs changed hands on former terms.
Milch cows were firm, at from ltd. to 201. each, including
their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP.

are as follow :—mid and East Kent pockets, W. 15s to
8'• 10s ; Weald of Kent ditto, W. 5s to 7/. Os ; Suess

taken freely by the trade. A novelty in Brazil oranges has
been received andsapproved of. Lemons and Tints of all 20
kinds in better demand, and the war in the East is likely .0.
to interfere with further shipments of the latter article.

lONIAN BANS.-At a meeting of this bank, held yes-
terday, the dividend declared was at the rate of 5 per
e int., and the report and accounts were adopted. The
o lairman (Mr. 0. Farrer) explained the position of busi-
ness, and the only discussion was in relation to the de-
sirableness of extending operations to Malta, Naples,
and other localities. It was stated, however, that this
course would be impracticable under the existing charter
and that it was not considered pint is to attempt the ex-
tensive arrangements required to effect it.
THE MILITIA GARRISON AT THE TOWER.-It appears,
from the recollections of old veterans now surviving the
late war, that no militia regiment has been honoured
with the Tower garrison since the war in the reign of
George 111., when the corps honoured with the guard
of the Royal regalia and other valuables WAS that of the
Royal Wiocleor
