MARKET NE WB-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Although the supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's
market was very liinitud, the demand for all kinds was in
a very inactive state, at Monday's currency.
Upwards of 10,000 quarters of foreign wheal have come
to hand since Saturday. The trade was dull in the ex.
treme, at barely stationary prices.
Floatiug cargoes were dull.
We had a heavy sale for barley and malt, both of which
articles were lower to purchase.
The oat trade was heavy. In beans, peas, aad flour so
little was doing that the quotations were almost nominal.

SIR FITZROY KELLY'S BILL.—We are informed that
the committee of the Ballot Society have considered this
bill, and have passed a resolution that its tendency will
be to increase, and not to diminish bribery, corruption,
and intimidation at elections.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 3 per mille discount (according to theqast tariff),
which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17;s. 100. per
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25•091;
and, the exchange at Paris on London at chort being
24.971, it follows that gold is about 0.48 per cent dearer
in Paris than in London. By advices from H.sanburg the
price of gold is 423 per mark, which, at the English Mint
price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard. gold, gives
an exchange of 13•3; ; and the exchange at. Hamburg
ou London at short being 13'31, it follows that gold is
0.18 per cent, dearer in Hamburg than in Lt irdon. The
course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., and, the par . of exchange
between England and America being 109 23-4 0 per cent.,
it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.3;3 per cent.
against England ; but, after making alio wance for
charges of transport and difference of inter& sit, the pre-
sent rate leaves no profit on the transmissiozi of gold
either way between the two countries.

transport cavalry horses to Malta were open. id at the
Admiralty this afternoon, but no selection cowl ld be im-
