MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

----- ---
The supply of English wheat here to-day was very
limited, but in fair average condition. Although the
attendance of buyers was small, the demand for most kinds
ruled tolerably firm, at Monday's prices. For forward
delivery very little was eloNg.
From abroad upwards of 11,000 quaff ten of wheat have
reached 119. Selected samples were held at full currencies,
but all other qualities were dull in the extreme. In.
floating cargoes very few tra ,sactions were repol;,ed:
Malting barley was in short supply, and fair inquiry, at
full quotations. Grinding and distilling sous, /ncluding

IRREGULARITIES OF THE WEST INDIA MAIL STEA aitz:lo.
—A statement has just been published, on the
of Mr. Hume, showing the exterit
of the irregulArities of
the West India mail steamers during tiljna°ft?,()
It appears that throrghoat 1851 they wereb;luind times
in their arrivals at Southampton an average ots.4t dam
that on one occasion the mail was overdue 14 days, and
that in no instance did it arrive at its proper date. In
1852 their average behind time was 34 days ; one case
of delay amounted to 15 days, and another to 14. Two,
instances, however, took place of arrivals two days be-
fore the appointed time, and one instance of an arrival
at the due date. On the other side the departures from
St. Thomas's were only punctual in four cases during
1851, and in three cases in 1852. Considering that the
time allowed before a vessel is officially regarded as
"due" is always of itself sufficient to leave an ample
margin for slow sailing, the figures thus presented fur.
n;sh a remarkable illustration of the results of a mono-
poly which has been recently fastened on the country at
an expense of 270,0001. per annum for an additional 11.
years, to say nothing of the hi ;;h fares and general dis-
comforts which have formed the subject of complaints
and protests until it has been felt useless to oontinue
them.
