THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

BRISTOL, MARCH 8.-The supplies both of English and
foreign wheat this week have been small, and the demand has
been bwt liMited • and, owing to the continued depressed re-
ports fromMark:lane, Liverpool, &c,, prices have receded on

3s per quarter. At this day's market English new wheat

BIRMINGHAM, MARCH 8.--At Glocester market, on the
3d, English wheat was much sought after, at the currency of
the previous week.- At Worcester, on the same day, it dray
fully is per quarter dearer, whilst on foreign the turn was in
favour of the buyer. Barley of all kinds dull, but nominally
unaltered in value. We had a fair sale for fine oats, whilst all
other descriptions were;szoirelyllsoglected. Beans and peas
both still tending downwardii. During the present week the
transactions in wheat, which were increasing previously, have
been suspended by the unexpected fall ;in Mark-lane, but we
have not heard of any., reducti on being submitted to. In bar-
ley nothing doing worth notice. Oats are only taken in retail;
the same remark applies to beans. Peas might be sold to spe-
culators by submitting to a reduction of 2s per quarter. At
this day's market there was again a short supply of wheat from
the farmers, yet the trade ruled dull, at a reduction of Is per
quarter on all but the ; finest English. Barley nominally un-
altered. Oats 6d per quarter cheaper. Beans held for the
currency of this day se'nnight. Peas Is. per quarter cheaper.

GLASGOW, MARCH 7. —Since our last we have had vari-
able weather. Arrivals from abroad consisted of about 1,08)
quarters of wheat from Galatz, 915 sacks of flour from France,
1.664 barrels of flour and 612 quarters of Indian corn from the
United States ; coastwise and from Ireland they have been
moderate. Pnces have undergone no material variation during
the week, and sales were almost confined to local wants, which
are still of a languid character. At this day's market there
was a thin attendance of town and country buyers, and but
little business was done, owing to holders being reluctant to
sell under former rates. Wheat moved off slowly at last
Wednesday's currency. Flour being less firmly held, :was the
turn in favour of buyers. Barley more inquired after, and a
quick sale. Oats and oatmeal in better demand at last week's
prices. Beans and peas a retail sale, at the quotations. Indian
corn and meal unchanged.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]-^A most inveterate Skin Dis-
ease Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—James
Hazlitt, millwright, of Meliagh, county of Donegal, was
affected with a dreadful skin disease, being covered with
sores from the ear to the elbow, and down the right side,
which rendered him totally unable to work at his trade.
His malady was of so malignant a nature that he became
a loathsome object of pity.
this state he was pre-
sented with some of Holloway. s Ointment and Pills, and
by persevering in the use of these wonderful remedies
for a few weeks, be has been soundly cured, and is now
able to resume his laborious occupation.—Sold by all
Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,

Ecursm OF THE 1400N.-7There was a partial
eclipse of the moon last night, visible at Greenwich. The
immersion of our satellite in the earth's shadow, took
place at 12/ minutes
,past ten, and the emersion at 36
minutes past three. Vie magnitude of the eclipse at
the middle was nearly three-fourths of the moon's sur-
face. The sky in the evening had been cloudy, but to-
wards the period of the eclipse the clouds dispersed, and
the phenomenon wag beautifully visible throughout its
whole duration. The next eclipse of the moon, visible
in London, will be at half past two in the afternoon of
the 2d of September, lasting upwards of five hours,
when more than one-half of the moon's surface will be
obscured.
