WAKEFIELD CORN BIARKET.7-March.ll

Them is a moderate supply of Wheat to this day's market,
and there has been a fair demand for all descriptions ; general
runs at the rates of last Friday, and good dry samples have ob-
tained in some instances rather more money. Oats are in re-
quest, and prices are fully supported. The best heavy descrip_
lions of Barley go off without variation in prices, butt there is
little or no demand for any other sort. Old Beans are very scarce,
and obtain high prices; good dry new are more inquired after,
but there is little demand for soft samples.

the following morning she sailed accordingly. His- Ma-1
jesty's ship Dispatch, Commander E. A. Frankland, was
ordered away from Cork at the same time for this port.
The Nautilus is fitted for Channel service, but we have not
ascertained the immediate atject for which she has been
ordered here. Mr. John Greyson, Captain's Clerk of the
Nautilus, died on the Ist inst. at Dublin, and was buried
on Thursday se'unight at sea. The carpenter of the
William and Mary yacht also died at Dublin, on Tuesday
se'nnight. His Majesty's ship Windsor Castle, 76, Capt.

mander G. C. Blake, was on the station between Cork and
Cape Clear. His Majesty's ship Pylades, 18, Commander,
P. D. H. Hay, was at Galway. The Shamrock had just
arrived at Dublin from a cruise. Sir C. Paget was at
Cork, intending to go for a week to Dublin previously to
striking his flag, after which be will spend some time at
the Castle with the Lord Lieutenant. It was reported
there was a large body of armed men, within twenty miles
of the Irish capital ; but for what purpose they had assem-
bled, was not known ; the 7th Regiment of Hussars had
been ordered out.

His Alajesty's ship Dispatch, 18, Commander E. A.
Frankland, arrived on Tuesdayfrotsa Cork, whence she sailed
on the 3d inst. having received orders on the previous day
to sail immediately for this port. For the ships on that
station, and the disposition of the Irish squadron, we
refer to the account of the arrival of the Nautilus, from
Dublin.

His Majesty's ship Druid, 46, Capt. G. W. Hamilton,
C.B. arrived on Sunday from Rio Janeiro, with the
officers and crew of his Majesty's ship Thetis, who have
since been transferred to the flag-ship, preparatory to the
Court Martial, which has been ordered to assemble on
Tuesday next on board the Wellesley, to inquire into the
causes attending the loss of that ship off Cape Frio, South
America. The Druid left Rio on the 16th of January,
leaving there his Majesty's ship Warspite, 76, Captain
C. Talbot (acting), Lightning, 18, Commander T. Dic-
kinson (b), Zephyr, 4., Lieutenant C. Church, and Duke

at Rio, the former from the RiVer Plate, the latter from
Valparaiso, whence she sailed on the 31st of January, in
a very leaky state, having encountered a severe storm in
rounding Cape Horn, Thiel) obliged her to throw her
guns, &c. overboard. The Druid arrived at Rio on the
19th of December from a cruise, with the Spanish slave
schooner Destimida, with 48 slaves on board, to be adjudi-
cated. Preparations were making at Rio, by means of a
diving bell, to endeavour to recover the specie lost in the
Thetis, but owing to the very heavy heavy swell that set
in, there were but slight hopes of saving any part of it.—
The ship was gone to pieces, and his Majesty's ship Alge-
rine, 10, Commander W. H. Martin (acting), was at the
wreck saving the store., &c. The Lightning was also ex-
pected at Cape Frio from Rio. The Emperor of Brazil
had ordered the Minister of Finance to nominate a com-
mission, composed of three members, to investigate and
liquidate in that city the accounts of the legation at Lin-
don, the operations of which legation had ceased. The
Druid brought home, besides the officers and crew of the
Thetis, Mr. J. Thompson, late Purser of the Lightning,
Mr. Trounce, Master, R.N. on the retired list, and thir-
teen invalids from tile squadron. Captain Burgess, of the

Nothing decisive is yet known about the exact nature
of the proposed reductions in the corps of Royal Marine
Artillery. The following arrangement has, however, been
stated to us as likely to take place in that corps and the
Royal Marines, and which, indeed, we have no reason to
