NEWBURY, MAY 3.—Our supply of wheat to-day is large,
the condition of which is improved; the continued dulness of
the flour markets has a very depressing effect on the wheat
trade ; and although sellers lower their demands is to 2s per
quarter, yet but little progress could be made in sales, a large
portion being left unsold. Barley small supply,
with but little
demand at late rates. Beans and
peas short supply, and
realised late rates. Oats short supply and in request, at rather
improving rates.
lavzit root., MAY 4.—At our Corn Exchange this morning
there was a moderately fair demand for wheat and flour, at
prices barely equal to these obtained on Tuesday. There were
several buyers from the interior. There was no change in the
value of any other article, excepting Indian corn, which was in
some instances tid per quarter dearer, and the Irish demand is
unabated.

BRISTOL, MAT 3.—We have .this week had only mode-
rate supplies of English wheat, and are entirely without arrivals
of foreign ; we have to note a further decline of is to 21 per
quarter on the currencies of this day se'nnight. At this day's
market wheat fetched—English new, 40. to 44s per imperial
quarter ; foreign white, 48s to 52s per 480Ib ; ditto red, fine
qualities, 45s to 48s ; ditto ordinary ditto, 40s to 43s ; ditto
hard, 36s to 40s. Fine English malting barley being scarce is
6d to is per quarter dearer, other sorts and grinding parcels
being fully previous prices ; English malting, 30s to 35s per
imperial quarter; ditto and foreign grinding, 21s to 23s per
4001 b. For flour there has been a good demand for present
consumption at an abatement of Is per sack; English seconds,
33s to :,5s per sack ; American sweet, 23s to 25s per barrel.
;:.
Oats are about 6d per quarter higher ; Devon and Welch,
16s to 17: per imperial quarter ; Irish white, 19. to 203 6d
per 320ib ; ditto black, 16s 6d to 17s 6d per imperial quarter.
In beans there has been no variation. English, 30s to 6s per
imperial quarter; foreign, 26s to 30s per 4801 b. Arrivals for
the week ending May 3—Oats, 337 quarters, 1,287 barrels;
flour, 250 sacks. Average for the week ending May 2
Wheat, 47s 3d ; oats, 17s 3d; barley, 30s ; beans, 32s Bd.
EXETER MAIMEY, FRIDAY. —The attendance of growers
to-day was very small, and the business transacted has been
nearly of a retail description, the farmers generally refusing to
accept lower rates. For warranted samples 6s 6d has been
offered, and in many instances refused, and it is probable that
a higher figure will be obtained before the market closes.
Foreign wheat was rather freely offered, especially French, for
which 45s per quarter was asked for red, and 503 to 51 s for
white (6Jlbs to the bushel). Barley was inquired for at full
43 per bushel for best realtin; samples. Oats, 2s 4d to 21 9d
per bushel. Fine Flour, 35s to 38s per sack of 280Ibs.
BIIIMINGHAM, MAY 3.—At Gloucester and Worcester
mar, ets on the 28th all kinds of red wheat, both English and
foreign, were is to 2s per quarter lower, whilst white, from
its scarcity, nearly maintained its value. Barley little inquired
for, but nominally unaltered in price. For oats we had a fair
demand, and black rather dearer. Very little doing in beans
or peas. During the present week our buyers have been offer-
ing rates which holders will not generally accept, consequently
very little wheat has changed hands. On barley, the turn is
in favour of the buyer. r nglish beans realise Is per quarter
more money. Only triflingsales of peas are reported. At this
day's market, wheat ruled dull at a decline of Is per quarter.
Lower prices were not accepted for barley. Oats fully as dear.
English beans rather higher ; we had very little inquiry for
Egyptian. In peas nothing doing worth notice.
IN YERNESS, MAY 1. New wheat, per quarter,
weighing 621 b per bushel, 41.8 to 421; barley, 14Ib per bushel,
233 to 245; oats, 4!lb per bushel, 17s to 17s 6d ; seed oats, per
qr, 421 b per bush, 20s to 225. Oatmeal, per imperial boll, 15s;
second, 14s; barleymeal, I Is 8d; peasemeal, 14s to 15s; bran,
per stone, 6d to 8d; first flour, per 2801 b, 36s to 3s; second,
28s; oatmeal, best, per atone of 14Ib imperial, Is 6d;
second, Os Od ; barleymeal, Is 2d; peasenteal, is 6d; first flour,
2s 9d Bash, 3s credit; seconn, 2s 3d cash, 2s 6d credit. Pota-
toes, per stone, 6d to 7d; beef, per pound, 5d to 8d; veal, 4d
to 6d ; mutton, be( to ed ; pork, 4d to 63 ; fowls, each, 12d to

6d; butter, fresh, per lb, 12d to Od ; salt, lld to 12d ; crondie
(curds) Od ; four pound loaf, cash, 6d to 7d, credit, 6d to
lid; coals, per cwt, 9.1 ; hay, per stone, 6d.
GLASGOW, MAY 2.—Our arrivals continue light from all
quarters ; at Grangemouth about 4,325 quarters of wheat
reached from abroad. Business was limited to a moderate con-
sumptive demand during the week, without quotable change in
prices. This day's market was thinly attended. Wheat of
fine quality was held at late rates, but inferior descriptions were
6tl cheaper per boll. Flour sold 6d lower per barrel, and ler sack. Barley, rye, peas,
eans, the turn dearer. Indian corn, a slow sale, at last week's
currency. oats, and oatmeal, unaltered.

SALE OF THE COUNTESS OF

BLESSING TON'S EFFECTS.
The duty of chronicling the dispersion of celebrated col-
lections formed by the high and noble of the land is one of
the most painful offices forced upon the journalist. The re.
flection arises from the recurrence of an event of this cha-
racter—the contents of Gore House, for some years past the
residence of the Countess of Blessington (who has just retired
from this country with the view of taking up her
offi
celebrity
con-
siderableof her Ladyship's mansion was well calculated to excitewe _
aabuoceltieonineePeasrish)ambenilnegr.abTouhte toarptia;stsiounandder tlihteeroarrdyealelebrtiht3e,
interest among the higher classes, but "",
within Is
fashionable company as yesterday assembled
just now under in.
scarcely prepared to meet so numerous an
for the purpose of viewing the contents,
commences on Mon-
spection, preparatory to the sale which assemblage
walot
Mon-
day next.
There:
the scene, as we wandered through the
saloons and noted here and there, the eager curiosity with
contemplationwas ofsomething indescribably painful to us in a
which various little Njoux, each doubtless possessing claims
of peculiar interest in the estimation of its owner, were
caught up and examined by the spectators. Not to dwell,
however, upon this unfortunate theme, let us give those who
have not visited Gore House some indication of its contents.
The architectural arrangement of the mansion is not con-
venient, but few interiors could be more tastefully fitted up.
The furniture of the principal apartments is'of the most:beau-
tiful description, and all the rooms display a perfect abund-
ance of works of art, with many of which the clever pencil
of a distinguished Count bas rendered the public familiar.
The catalogue—itself a goodly quarto—will be perused
with interest, and the history of many of the lots
cannot fail to give an importance to their disposal. The
collection of Sevres and old porcelain is unueally rare, and
elises

Countess's bedchamber includes a very handsome carved
bedstead, in white and gold, formerly belonging to the
Empre,,s Josephine, which was purchased at the sale of
Malmaison. In this room hangs a picture representing
the garden front of Gore House, with figures upon the
lawn. As a work of art it will not bear criticism, but the
portraits, though upon a very small scale, are admirable.
Edwin Landseer is one of the principal figures; the artist is
seated, in the act of sketching a. cow, while Lord • Chester-
field and Count d'Orsay are looking over his shoulder. The
Duke of Wellington, with the Countess of Blessington and
the Misses Power, the beautiful nieces of her Ladyship,
also figure in the picture. The collection of paintings in-
eludes many works of great interest, and some of high value.
Among the latter we may quote Sir Thomas Lawrence's
celebrated portrait of the Countess, which has been con-
sidered one of the finest works of that great master; a por-
trait of the late Earl of Blessington, by the B:me artist ;
and a portrait of Masaniello, by Salvator Rosa; this latter
picture was formerly in the Belvidere collection, at Naples; it
was one of four executed at the moment of his triumph, by de-
s.re of the Neapolitan atri and has been frequently copied.
The interesting works include a great many original
sketches by celebrated artists; Sir David Wilkie, Maclise.
Landseer, and Winterhalter being among the contributors;
the latter has a beautiful drawing of "The Sisters," (Misses
Power), full of grace and effect. The name of the President
of the Republic of France also appears in the catalogue.
Lot 235 being described as " A View of the Castle of ham,"
drawn and .preented by Prince Louis Napoleon. Among
the finished pictures worthy of notice is a " Portrait r f a
favourite Dog," presented to the Countess of Blessington by
the King of Naples, in Edward Landseer's best style. The
library contains nothing worthy especial notice, the books
consisting almost exclusively of modern works, of which,
however, there is a very large collection. The sale altogether
extends over thirteen days, of which the last three are de-
voted to the library.—Morning Post.

THE LATE MURDER OF A HUSBAND AT BATH.—
BATH, FRIDAY, Mar 4.—The inquest upon the body of
Merchant was resumed at six o'clock, at the Guildhall,
which was again densely crowded. The prisoner, Mrs.
Harris, was still too ill to admit of her presence, bat the
two Sbaylors, and the prisoner William Harris, were again
placed in the dock. The evidence principally went to prove
the existence of an intimacy between the wife of deceased
and Harris some time before the death of deceased. The
inquest was adjourned at half past ten o'clock to Thursday
next, and in the meantime the body of Harris's last deceased
wife will be taken up. The prisoner Mrs. Harrill continues
so ill that some fears for her life are entertained.
THE BENCHERS OF THE INNS OF COURT.—We
understand that it is tliC intention of some members of
the Irish Bar to petition for immediate admission to the
English Bar. We have also been informed that the
Benchers are disposed to anticipate the petitioners, and,
in a spirit 'of wise liberality, to remote the impediments
which prevent Irish barristers from being called to the
goglieli PAS.

TEN YEARS AGO.
INSCRIBED TO ALL WHO KNOW ME.
(From Eliza Cook's New Weekly Journal.)
The robin had ben dumb all day, the clouds were close
and drear,
The oak-leaf bent its withlr'd lips to kiss the dying year;
The night was coming like a monk, in dark and hooded
guise,
And winter's voice breathed dolefully its heaviest of sighs.
My thoughts were sad as :ad could be, and lone, and still,
I gazed
Upon the shadows as they fell—the red coal as it blazed;
The room was bare—no forms were there—but memories
went and came
With love and sorrow chequered, like the shadows and
the flame.
Oh! my young heart's tide of happiness had ebbed a
wave too low,
In that dim hour of twilight gloom, some ten years ago.
Old merry Christmas was at hand, as constant as of yore,
I counted those about me at the Christmas tide before.
And if I misstd some two or three, that ne'Er could come
again.
No wonder that my bosom felt a gentle throb of pain.
The twilight deepened murkily ;—I wept, but lo! there
came
A branch of holly falling from an ancient picture-frarr e,
And as it shimmer'd at my feet, all fresh, and green,
and bright,
It seemed to fill my drooping soul with music, mirth,
and light.
A key-note of wide echoings that still around me flow,
Was that poor holly branch, that tumbled, ten years ago.
It conjured up with minstrel spell, a fair and merry
throng
Of glad conceits, that found a voice and burst into a

song;
I poured out ballad lines of joy above the shining bough,
While pleasure quickened every pulse, and danced upon
my brow.
I gave that song unto the world, with secret hope and
fear,—
I longed to try if I could win that world's broad, honest
ear;—
'Twas done—applauding words of life came thickly on
niy way,
And those who caught my holly leaves, flung back a
sprig of bay;
" We like your notes," the " people" cried, " come sing
again" and so
My " Christmas Holly" bound me to ye, ten years ago.
Since then we've mingled cheerfully within our "House-
hold Room,"
Ye've heard me sing " Old Dobbin's" worth, and tell
" Old Pincher's" doom,

Yo hailed me in my " Murray Plaid," and listened to my
strain,
When like a baby in a field I wove my " Daisy" chain;
Ye took my simple " Old Arm Chair," ye knew it was a

part
Ot Lore's rich cedar tree, that Death bad cut down in
my heart:
Ye smiled to see my " Old Straw Hat" laid by with
earnest rhyme,
And chorused when a " People's Song" awoke your spirit

chime;
Oh! many a changeful carol-lilt has knitted us I trow,
Since first my " Christmas Holly" flourished, ten years

ago.
I bring ye now a posy bunch of varied scent and hue,
And rather think " Forget Me Not," will anxiously peep

through;
True loyal bands to Nature's cause, have helped to pluck

the fowers,
And pray that ye will take them home to nurse in eve-

ning hours.
What say ye? will they gain a place upon the window
sill?

-Hare ye some household nook to spare, which they will
serye to fill?

And as ye took my sombre branch in midst of wintry
gloom,
Will ye as tenderly receive my bunch of spring•time
bloom?

Onco safe beneath ycur sunny care, oh! how the leaves
Will blow,

And proudly crown the hope you gave me, ten years ago.
Spring flowers are swet t in every place, we like to see
them come
On upland so'', by roadside hedge, and round about our
home;
The monarch lady bears them 'mid the jewels on her breast,
And Poverty wijl setk a bud to deck its tattered vest.

Oh! take my mingled offering.—l long to hear you say
Ye like the simple blossoms which I place upon your way.
It is the lucid dew of truth, that gems each painted cup,
'Tis freedom gives the fragrance, and my heart strings
tie them up;
0! take them " gentle reader," let my " spring flowers"
live and grow
With ye who reared my " Christamas Holly," ten years
ago. ELIZA COOK.
