ebb. At last market day a decline of Is to 23 per qr had
to be submitted to in order to eff•ct sales of English
wheat; and to day the reduction is steadily maintained.
The weather has been fine during the last three days,
although the storms of the beginning of the week
threatened to impede the harvest operations. Some
breadth of wht at has been cet, though less than in some
adjoiuing counties, the wheat ripening very irregularly.
To day English wheat soli at from 16s to 185 per bag,
some realize g lss only. Foreign, according to quality
and description, sold at 4s 8:1 to 5s 8d per bushel. Malt-
ing barley (English), 28s per quarter; and Irish, 26s to
275; grinding quality, 245. English oats about 27s per
quarter, and Irish samples about 20s. For beans a

We must have a feeling, a faith in whatever is self'
sacrificing and divine, whether in religion or in, art,
giory or in law, or common-sense will reason us out of
the sacrifice, and a syllogism will debase the divine too
article in the market.—Eliza Cook's Journal.
