WOOL.

The near approach of the public sales has checked all
business in the private contract market. Prices are, there-
fore, almost nominal. Last week's imports were 10 bales
from St. Helena, 601 from Hobart Town, 217 from Mel-
bourne, 109 from Buenos Ayres, 255 from Geelong, 99
from Gluckstadt, 122 from the Cape, 1,079 from Islay, and
600 from Algoa Bay.

SEEDS.
We continue to have a very firm market for linseed.
Bombay has changed hands at 625, Calcutta 60s, and St.
Petersburgh 56s to 58s per quarter. Rapeseed is dull, and
lower to purchase. In other seeds very little is doing ; but
cakes command very full prices.

CANCER HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday, his Grace the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury preached a most impressive sermon
to a crowded congregation, at the parish church of St,
Mary, Newington, in aid of the Cancer Hospital, 1,
Cannon-row, Parliament-street, and West, Brompton.
His Grace took his text from Hebrews, 13 chap.,
16th
verse--" But to do good and to communicate forget not ;
for with such sacrifices God is well pleased." In appli-
cation whereof hi s lordship referred to the great suffer-
ings from that awful disease for which the institution
had been specially established to alleviate ; and the good
effect which was likely to result from the greater exten-
sion of its sphere of usefulness, concluding by a pow-
erful and pathetic appeal for accession of funds, which
produced a very liberal collection.

GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—SOUTHAMPTON, FEB. 4.
—The America, of 690 tons, Captain John Gardyne, was
despatched this day for Geelong, with 280 emigrants, by
Mr. Smith, the Government Emigration officer at this
port. This ship only came into dock on Thursday after-
noon, and but for the facilities afforded at this port it
would have been impossible for the ship to have been
despatched again so soon. She was visited yesterday
by the emigration commissioners, and by Captain Lean,
the emigration officer at London, who expressed them-
selves well pleased with the arrangements. Before
leaving the ship this evening a vote of thanks was given,
amidst vociferous cheering, to Mr. Smith, the Govern-
ment officer, and to the Rev. Mr. Scotland, the chaplain,
for their kindness and attention during the period the
emigrants were in the depot • and for a long time after
leaving the ship the shouts of people might be heard.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY.—The Commissioners of
Sewers connected with the Corporation of the city of
London, acting upon the powers granted to them in the
City of London Sewers' Act, 1848, have purchased the
site of a large house at the corner of Panyer-alley, New.
gate-street, of the late occupier, Mrs. Lund. The Com-
missioners have bought this ground for the purpose of
preventing another erection, it being their wish to throw
the site into the public way as soon as they can get the
opportunity. It is not, as it ought to be, generally
known that the piece of ground at the top of Cheapside,
on the Newgate-street side, which for so many years has
been a disgraceful blank in the City, does not belong to
the Corporation but to the Woods and Forests, it being
part of the Host-office estate. The refusal of the autho-
rities to part with it has for years prevented the improve-
ments upon that point, which the Corporation, have
long been desirous of snaking. It is to be hoped, how-
ever, that now the Commissioners of Sewers" have acted
so liberally that the Government will go and do
likewise."
