ANCE BILL.

On the motion forgoinginto committee of supply,
Sir J. SHELLEY complained that this bill was the
last instead of the first order of the day for 12 o'clock
to-day. The inhabitants of the metropolis were up in
arms about the measure, as it proposed to give powers
to the present commission to raise rates for the next 30
years ; and he hoped, if the Government intended to
persevere with so monstrous a proposition, they would
Place the bill in a more favourable postion on the orders
of the day.
Mr. WILSON said it was impossible to fix any time
for the bill until the Government got through the com-
mittee of supply. do believed that the noble lord the
Secretary for the Home Department intended to bring
it forward at 12 o'clock to-morrow, but that would de-
pend on the other orders being disposed to-day.
Sir B. HALL considered that, as the bill would levy
about half a million of money on the metropolis, an
ample opportunity should be afforded for its discussion.
After a few words from Col. SIBTHORP, the sub-
ject dropped.
POSTAL ARRANGEMENTS (IRELAND.)
Mr. BUTT asked the Secretary of the Treasury
Whether any arrangements had been made or were in-
tended to be made by the Post-office to alter the pre-
sent arrangements under which letters from the town of
Youghal to the neighbouring borough town of Dun-
garvan, distant sixteen miles upon a good road, were
conveyed by a circuit of several hundred miles, and
occupied two days in the transit, as pointed out in the
Memorial forwarded to the Postmaster-General in March
last, from the Town Commissioners of Youghal ; and a
similar question as to the communication between
oughal and Tallow, complained of in a second me-
morial presented at the same time, and complained of
the injurious effects of these arrangements on the postal
ercourse of the south of Ireland ?
Mr. WILSON said he had communicated with the
I,°
ost-office on the subject, but he had not yet received
any reply.

SUPPLY.
through committee of supply in the hurried way pro-
The votes which they were asked to sanction
t°-daY amounted to no less a sum than 4,582,0001.
When he first directed attention to these votes they
Were only between 15,0001. and 18,0001., but they had
been going on increasing ever since, and they had now
reached the sum he had now mentioned. He did not
clean
to say there were not reasons for the increase, but
he thought they should adopt another course in a future
„
ioessicm, and submit the votes to a select committee be-
re they were proposed to the house.
The house then went into committee of supply.
On the vote of 20,0001. for civil contingencies
Mr. HUME went through the items of the vote, and
iiged. various reductions ; and, after some discussion,
e vote was agreed to.
to o,a the question that 550,887/. be voted to her Majesty
defray the expenses of the Commissariat Department,

HUME complained that nothing had been done
v_,eirt :deuce the expenses of the department, although re-
ductions and abolitions had been suggested by the corn-
buP stairs. He thought that great reductions
, e made in this vote, so far as it applied to the
colonies.
Mr. WILSON defended the vote, and stated that
Government were doing all in their power to gradually
reduce the vote.

JEARkET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The near continental markets have ruled steady for most
kinds of grain, the prices of which have been well sup-
ported. In the Black Sea ports, the value of wheat has
considerably advanced, with au active demand. The
latest advices from the United States are to the effect that
wheat and flour were very dull and drooping.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, in which only a limited busi-
ness was transacted, at barely stationary prices. In spring
corn and flour very little was doing.
The arrivals of English grain up from market, coastwise,
were but moderate. From abroad we received 40,747 qrs.
of wheat, 5,120 barley, 37,323 oats, 850 rye, 148 beans,
133 peas, 130 tares, 7,205 linseed, 75 mustard seed, 120
sundry seeds, 2,230 sacks and 8,402 brls. of flour.
Fresh up to-day the arrival of wheat coastwise from
Kent was somewhat extensive, even the time of year con-
sidered, and we received a full average supply from Essex,
iu excellent condition. By laud carriage the receipts were
but moderate. The arrogate supply being good, the im-
ports from abrcad extensive, and the news from Russia
more favourable, the demands for all kinds of wheat of
home produce ruled exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the
prices of Monday last of fully 2s per quarter.
There was very little business doing for forward de-
li very, even though the growers freely offered parcels at
2s to 3s per quarter less money.
We were rather extensively supplied with all kinds of
foreign wheat. Millers and others operated with great
caution, and the trade was in a depressed state at a fall in
the currencies of fully is. per qr.
Floating cargoes off the coast were very dull. In prices,
however, scarcely any change took place. Indian corn for
forward shipment was quite neglected.
A sample of new English barley—the produce of Kent,
and in good condition—changed hands at 395. per qr.
Foreign barley sold at late rates, with a fair average quan-
tity on offer
Malt was in fair average supply, and moderato request,
at full prices.
The show of all kinds of oats being very large, the oat
trade ruled heavy, at a decline of from Gd to is per qr.
Beans changed hands slowly, on former terms.
The demand for peas was steady, at late rates.
We had only a moderate inquiry for flour. In prices no
change took place.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was exten-
sive, but in very middling condition. The demand for it
was less active, at about stationary prices
The arrivals of beasts fresh up to-day from our own graz-
ing districts, were tolerably good as to number, but very
deficient in quality. The attendance of buyers being nu-
merous, the beef trade ruled steady, at fully last Monday's
prices. The general top figure for beef was 4s 4d ; but a
few very superior sorts realized 4s fid per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 500 Scots and short horns ; from the northern
grazing districts, 1,700 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 240
horned and polled Scots.
With sheep, we were tolerably well, but by no means
extensively, supplied. The trade was decidedly firm, and
prices were well supported in every instance. The best
old Downs sold freely, at 5s per 81bs.
Lambs—The supply of which was tolerably good, moved
off slowly, at the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight,
viz., 5s to Os per 81bs.
The supply of Calves was but moderate, yet the veal
trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices.
Pigs were very dull, but we have no change to notice in
the quotations.
