CORN EXCHANGE.

Very moderate supplies of English wheat have arrived
tip to our market this week, coastwise and by land car-
riago. To day the show of samples was small. The at-
tendance of buyers was not large ; yet the demand for all
kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady at fully
Monday's prices.
Scarcely any foreign wheat has come fresh to hand.
Pickled samples were firm, and, in some instances, rather
dearer than on Monday.
The value of other qualities was well supported.
The barley trade was -steady at very full prices.
We had a fair demand for malt at full quotations.
Good sound oats moved off steadily at extreme rates.
In other kinds very little was doing.
Beans, peas, and flour sold at full currencies. The top
price of the best town-made flour was 58s per 2801bs.

SMITHFIELD.

—Sls

To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts as to
number, but their general quality was inferior. For most
bree,ls wo had a fair demand, at Monday's prices. The
supply of sheep was smaller than for sonic time past. On
the whole the mutton trade was firm, at full rates of cur-
rency. As the supply of calves was very limited, the sale
of that description of stock ruled active, at an advance of
from 2d. to 4J. per Sibs. Pigs sold slowly, at late rates.

cluding their small calf.

GREECE.

A letter from Athens, dated the 28th ult., in
the Atoniteur, says :—" Two Ottoman subjects,
Nicolas Papas and Nicholas Ghinou, residing in
the Turkish ♦illage of Mavromati near Agrapha,
having to claim an indemnity for the damage caused
to them by Colonels Sotiri Strato and Geor-
goussi, who, on crossing the frontier during
the late events, took from them a quantity of corn
and other articles, to the value of some thousands
of drachmas, brought an action against the said
Strato and Georgoussi, who were condemned by the
tribunals. The plaintiffs, having met with consid-
erable difficulties in effecting a seizure of the pro-
perty of their debtors, as ordered by the sentence
of the Court, the prefect of Etolia and Acarnania
immediately called into requisition the armed force
to assist in carrying it into execution. The seizure
having been thus effected, the Ottoman subjects
will soon be indemnified for the losses they have
sustained."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A Vienna letter of the Bth, irithe Cologne Gazette,
says :—" It appears certain that the order of march
of the Turkish troops has been changed. Not only
all the troops who had returned from Wallachia to
Bulgaria are again, passing the Danube, and pro-
ceeding by forced marches towards the East, but
the staff of the Turkish flotilla of the Danube has
been transferred from Rustchuk to Hirsowa. It is
said, besides, that in order to facilitate the opera-
tions of Omer Pacha, the bridge of boats which ex-
isted between Giurgevo and Rustchuk, is to be re-
built lower down tiveen Ibrail and Matchin. The
Austrian troops entered Galatz on the 25th Sept.
The Austrian Consul-General of the Principalities,
M. de Michanowich, is to proceed to-morrow to his
new post at Bucharest."
From Jassy we hear that General Osten-Sacken
has been at Perekop since the 2d, and is awaiting
the arrival of the reinforcements from Odessa, to
advance into the Crimea to the assistance of Prince
Menschikoff ; but it does not seem very probable
that he will be enabled to do so before the middle
of the month.

A meeting, it is said, is about to take place in
Constantinople, of representatives of Austria, Eng-
land, li'rance, and Turkey, for the purpose of ar-
ranging the details of the future Austrian protec-
torate in the Danubian• Principalities. If it be
true, the news will serve to sharpen the coining
answer of Russia to the last Austrian note of S,2p-
tember 12.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Very moderate supplies of English wheat have arrived
up to our market this week, coastwise and by land car-
riage. To day the show of samples was small. The at-
tendance of buyers was not large ; yet the demand for all
kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady at fully
Monday's prices.
Scarcely any fozeign wheat has come fresh to hand.
Pickled samples were firm, and, in some instances, rather
dearer than on Monday.
The value of other qualities was well supported.
The barley trade was steady at very full prices.
We had a fair demand for malt at full quotations.
Good sound oats moved off steadily at extreme rates.
In other kinds very little was doing.
Beans, peas, and flour sold at full currencies. The top
price of the best town-made flour was 58s per 2801bs.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with beasts rate
number, but their general quality was inferior. For most
breeds wo had a fair demand, at Monday's prices. The
supply of sheep was smaller than for some time past. On
the whole the mutton trade was firm, at full rates of cur-
rency. As the supply of calves was very limited, the sale
o: ti.at description of stock ruled active, at en advance of
frr.;iii 2a. to ld. per Blbs. I'igs sold slowly, at late rates.

STRENGTH OF THE FLOATING BATTERIES.

The floating batteries, said to be prdered to be built as
strong as wood and iron can make them by private ship-
builders, are to be equivalent to vessels of 1,300 tons, and
to have plates of iron on them four inches thick. The decks
are to be eight inches thick.

THE FLOATING BATTERIES FOR THE, WAR.
A "Naval Officer" addressing the editor of the Stan-
dard," says :
" Sir,—l observe it stated in yowl paper of Thursday
evening last, that a floating battery is in the course of con.
struttion at Cherbourg, to be employed in the spring against
the Russian fortresses in the Gulf of Finlard.
•" It is 'now three mhnths since I submitted a similar
thing to the Admiralty, since which notice has been taken
of it in the columns of your contemporary, the Morning
Herald, to the editor of which paper I sent the draft of a
plan ; all of which may be constructed within a short dis-
tance of these fortresses, out of materials to be obtained
on the spot (balks of fir timber), piles of which have been
destroyed lirfire since the operations of the Scotia those
seas,. and which might have been used for the purpose. I
have fully described the plan to the editor of the Morning
Herald, and need not therefore trouble you with a repiti-
tion, and I have no doubt, if carried into execution as I
pointed out, will be most completely successful."
The batteries in course of construction will be the most
formidable ever projected. They are of forged or ham-
mered iron plates; 4i inches thick, lined inside with wood,
and will measure about 1,500 tons. From actual experi-
ment it has been proved that they will be impervious to
shot or shell.
A dozen at least (French and English) of these floating
batteries will be in the Baltic, next spring. The construc-
tion of these engines of war is a very diffioult and expen-
sive task, and we should like to see them afloat' before
entering into further details. . '

NAVAL PROMOTIONS FOR THE CRIMEAN
WAR.

We have much gratification in announcing the promo-
tion of the two lieutenants who were so prominently men-
tioned in Lord Raglan's despatches, to the rank of com-
mander, viz.:—
Lieutenant S. H. Derriman (1842), commander of the
Caradoc, who was appointed b 7 Admiral Dundas as his
lordship's nide-de-camp at the battle of the Alma.
Lieutenant Frederick A. Maxsa (1352), one of, the
juniors of the Agamemnon, 91, who returned through the
forest with Lord Raglan's despatches, and thus enabled
the Agamemnon to reach Balaklav4 at the desired mo,
went.
Lieutenant Manse's promotion will be rather to "brevet
rank," to be confirmed as soon as he has served his full
time of two years as a lieutenant.
London, England, 1854-10-13

MORE RIISSIA.N PRIZES.

Yesterday. advices were received that a number of Rus-
sian vessels had been captured by the English cruisers off

be sent, to Malta fur condemnation and to be sold for the
benefit of the captors:

THE HOSPITAL. SHIP BELLEISLE.
The Belleisle, hospital•shipt Commander James Hoskin,
