leave of her Mejesty to-day, and left Windsor for Row.
The Prussian Minister and Countess von Bernsterff,
and toe Earl and Countess of Clarendon, have taken

The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were but moderate. The de-
mand was active at an advance of from s's to 10s per quar-
ter. Barley sold briskly at from is to 2s more money.
Oats, beaus, peas, and flour wore dearer, with an active
inquiry.
The new continental markets have been inactive, and
the quotations have had an upward tendency. The latest
advicee from New York state that there was more doing
in wheat and flour, and that prices showed a tendency to
advance.
Very moderate supplies of English grain came to hand
last week. The imports from abroad amounted to only
6,065 quarters of wheat, 1,840 barley, 6,886 oats, 4,323
beaus, 1,163 peas, 64 tares, 16,106 linseed, 1,434 rapeseed,
45 mustard seed, and 482 sundry seeds.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day were but moderate, yet their general quality was
good. The stands were rather scantily supplied with
samples, as the whole of the supply changed hands on Fri-
day ; hence, as the country markets come very high, and
as the attendance of millers was large, the demand for all
descriptions was very brisk, at an advance in the prices
obtained on Monday last of from 8s to 103 per quarter.
For forward delivery, even higher rates were demanded by
the growers.
With foreign wheat we were but moderately supplied.
As millers generally are short of stock, and as consumption
is increasing, a very active business was transacted, at
from is to 103 per quarter above the rates current on this
day se'nnight.
The few floating cargoes off the coast were held at very
high rates.
The show of both English and Per eign barley was com-
pratively small, and the trade was brisk, at fully 2s per
quarter above last week's quotations.
There was more doing in malt, the prices of which had
an upward tendency
The eat trade was brisk, at a rise of quite is per quarter.
For beans we had an active inquiry at 2s per quarter
more money.
The sale for peas was active at an improvement of 2s
per quarter. •
The flour trade was active and prices were on the ad-
vance.

DEATH OF VISCOUNT CHEWTON.--It is with feelings
of deep regret that we announce the death of Viscount
Chewton, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, intelligence of
whose demise was received by his sorrowing relatives
yesterday. His lordship died at Scutari, where he
had been conveyed from the Crimea on the 7th inst.,
from the severe wounds he had received at the battle •of
the Alma. This gallant young nobleman was the eldest
son of the Earl Waldegrave, and was born June 29,
1816. The late viscount leaves a widow and three young
children, the youngest, a son, having been born on the
14th inst.

SMITHFIELD.

The supply of foreign stock in today's market was com-
paratively small, and in very inferior condition.
From our own grazing districts there was a decided
falling off in the arrivals of beasts, at least two-thirds of
which were beneath the middle quality, indeed this was
one of the worst supplies we almost ever witnessed. The
attendance of buyers being good, the beef trade ruled brisk,
at an advance in the quotations of fully 2d. per Sibs. The
primest lots sold freely at ss. per 8113 s.
The receipts of beasts trom Lincolnshire, Leicester-
shire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 1,800 short
horns ; from other parts of England, 700 of various
breeds ; and from Scotland, 20 horned and polled Scots.
There was a decrease iu the supply of sheep ; neverthe-
less' the demand for all breeds was in a sluggish state, at
last Monday's currency.
We were rather scantily supplied with calves, for which
the inquiry was inactive, and, in sme instances, the quo-
tations had an upward tendency. o
The top figure was
4s. Bd. per 81bs.
The sale for pigs was steady, on former terms.
Last week's iwport of foreign stock into London was
very moderate—the total supply amounting to 3,289 head.
In the corresponding week in 1853 we received 8,787; in
1852, 10,068 ; In 18151, 6,688 ; in 1850, 9,330 ; in 1849,
6,527 ; in 1848, 4,301; and in 1847, 4,980 head.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 21.—The Lloyd announces that a
conference took place on the 20th, at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, on the last note of Prussia.
This conference (adds the Lloyd) is little calculated
to give any hope of a union of the German Powers.
The dissidence goes on increasing. It would be
much better not have any alliance than such a
one as is proposed by Prussia. Austria must act,
and a decisive step on her part will take place. The
fremden Blatt confirms the news of the bombard-
ment of Sebastopol having commenced on the 13th,
with 200 pieces of cannon.
In the conference spoken of by the Lloyd the
persons present were Count Bud' and the French
and English ambassadors. There is every reason
to expect that a decisive step will take place very
shortly.
A report is current, but under reserves, that the I
principal Austrian generals who had been convoked
to a council of war have decided that it would be
advisable to assemble a corps d'armee on the fron-
tiers of Bohemia.
The Wanderer of Vienna, of the 17th, says :
" The following information has been communicated
to us concerning the autograph letter of the Empe-
ror of Austria to the King of Prussia, at the same
time as the note of Sept. 30. The letter, called
forth by the despatch of Count Buol, relates to the
present state of the nogotiations between Austria
and Prussia, and points out at considerable length
the necessity of an intimate union of all the Ger-
man governments, and, in particular, of Austria
and Prussia."

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL•
The supplies of each kind of meat oa sale in these
markets are seasonably good, but their general quality is
inferior. In most kinds a full average business is doing
at our quotations. About 4,000 carcasses of moat arrived
from the country last week.

BOROUGH HOP.
The large supplies of foreign hops on sale here have pro-
duced much inactivity in the demand for all English
qualities, and prices have a downward tendency. New
hops may be quoted as follows : —Mid and East Kent pockets,
17/ 1)s to 24108 ; Weald of Kent ditto, 171 5s to 18/ 10, ;
Sussex. ditto, 161 16s to 181 Os per cwt. Last week's im-
ports into London were 221 bales from Ostend, 1,128 from
Ha.mburg, 167 from Antwerp, 45 from Dunkirk, and 11
from Calais.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Since this day se'nnight the arrivals of potatoes have
been steadily on the increase ; but the imports of foreign
have been only 6 barrels from Bremen and '•0 baskets from
Amsterdam. A full averav business is doing in all kinds,
at full prices. Regents, 80s to 953 ; middlings, 603 to 65s ;
Shaws, 7.5 s to 853; Blues, 803 to 85e per ton.
