STATUE TO HER MAJESTY.
TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN.
Sin,—Having learnt through the medium of the public
papers that the marble arch at Buckingham Palace is to
be removed to the entrance of the long walk at Windsor,
I am induced to make a suggestion which, if publicity is
given to it, will_ be met with such a hearty response by
the people of this country never before witnessed in this
or any other country. sir, my suggestion is that the
guns lately taken in the late aggressive war by the
Stikhs.bo sent over to this count:), and melted down,
for the purpose of enabling Mr. Wyatt to mould an
equestrian statue of the Queen file simile of that taken
by Count D'Orsay, of which a copperplate engraving is
to be seen in the shop window of Mr. Ackerman in the
Strand, and when completed to be placed on the
triumphal arch; for as her Mejesty has been repeatedly
and openly insulted by persons who have a morbid desire
to render thcm,elves notorious, thereby creating a sus
picion in foreign parts that the Queen has not the sym•
pathy and support of her sul jects, it is but fair and just
to give them an opportunity of showing their unalter-
able attachment to a Sovereign who has, by her distin-
guished virtues and benevolence, won the affections of a
thvoted people. Therefore, to accomplish this obj-ct,
raT plan is to set or, foot a penny subscription to defray
the expenses of the statue. Sir, by instituting a penny
subscription, it gives an opportunity of testing and
proving beyond all doubt the affccti,n which all classes
bear towards her Majesty, and shorrit.-; to the world
and succeeding Monarchs, that when a Sovereign wields
the sceptre in juitice, and exercises the attribute of
mercy, they enlist the loyalty and attachment of a brave
and generous people. JOHN.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
LivEnroot, JUNE 23.—There have been good arrivals since
Tuesday of foreign wheat, flour, beans, and Indian corn, but
of British produce the supplies are still small. At yesterday's
Market holders of both wheat and sour evinced much firmness,
and a moderate business was effected at the full currency of
Tuesday. Oats and oatmeal met a dull sale, but prices were
unchanged. There was a steady demand for barley, beans,
and peas at late rates. A fair quantity of Indian corn changed
hands, yellow at a decline of 6d per quarter, but fine white corn
being scarce, brought an advance of 6d per quarter'. To-day
the trade is dull, and prices of all articles remain firm at the
quotations of yesterday.
AIANCHESTER, JUNE 23.--Throughout the week a good
demand has been experienced for flour, and choice qualities of
fresh-made English have readily realised a further improve-
ment in prices. Oatmeal, on the contrary, has met less in-
quiry, and the previous currency was with difficulty supported.
The arrival of oats from Ireland, and of malt coastwise, at
Liverpool -and Runcorn, are this week to a moderate amount ;
but trifling of other articles from those sources. From abroad
the imports comprise a liberal supply of wheat, beans, and In-
dian corn, with a fair quantity of barrel flour (in which is in-
cluded about 2,00) barrels of Canadian), the first to hand this
reason, and a cargo or two of barley. At our market this
morning wheat advanced fully 2d per 701 b.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, JUNE 21.—At OUr markl't
to-day the numbers were—oxen, 356 ; sheep, 1,115 ; lam bes
2,004. There was a small supply of cattle, which cans eel
to rise considerably. Best ox beef 53s per cwt., Tn_ d•-
dling from 45s to 50s per ditto, sinking the offal. The sup; 01
of sheep was large, which caused a fall in price of 2s 1 ref
head from last week's prices. Best quality barely 6d per UP•
in the wool, clipped sheep 4id to 5d per lb., sinking the ofi'a.l.•
Owing to the number of lambs, which caused a dull salt',
lambs down from 2s to 2s 6d per head from last wee k's
prices. Prices varied from 5s to his per head, according to
quality.
CORK, JUNE 22.—We have to report several arrivals of
grain laden vessels—principally maize—and these have b ad
the effect of depressing the market for this article, whi. sh
must be quoted fully 7s 6d to 103 per ton lower on the wee Ifs
Our supplies of home grain are so miserably insignificant sts
not to be worth noticing. We have to report a firmer feeling
in prepared and foreign wheat, with but little business. Tbe
tendency of oats is downwards, and we have no sales to i.e.
port: We have more firmness and animation in flour, and a
fair consumptive sale going on, without, however, any actr
change in prices. Coarse descriptions continue to be soup At
after. Indian corn, owing to the recent arrivals, has becor va
a dull sale at a decline of 7s 6d to lOs per ton, the busin,
doing, even at the reduction, being very restricted. 1V 0
