CITY, JEDESDAY EVENING.

At the corn Exchange since Monday the fresh
arrivals of every description of grain are exceedingly small, con-
trary winds preventing the supply expected from the northward
from reaching the market. '1 is no improvement in the va-
lue of any article, nor at the present moment bare the agricul-
turists the mostidistant prospect of any relief in their difficulties.
The two trades of Brewing and Distilling must be laid open
to public competition, for under different laws the consump-
tion of grain may be vastly increased, without any additional
expellee of the consumers. This subject, with the advantages
of an export trade, offers such great benefits to agriculture, that
discussions of the present licensing system cannot be too fre-
quently pressed on • the public attention. lt is as interesting to
the'grower as to the consumer, for the present laws only be=
nent a few large capitalists, and are highly injurious to the agri-
cultural interest—to the mercantile classes—and to the great
body of the. community. All monopolies are hostile to national
industry; and the landholders, both in the Lords and Com-
mons, cannot serve themselves better, nor confer greater ad-
vantages on the country, than by an immediate revision of the
Beer and Spirit Laws, as soon as the Parliament assembles for
general business. Very little business has again been done in
the British Funds.—The Consols for time opened at 82e5,
and closed at 82i. Many expect them dearer before the
close of the account. Three expresses arrived this morn-
ing from Paris, which bring a small improvement in the
French and Neapolitan Bonds there, at the conclUsion
of Monday's market. Here this day the French Rentes
are about one quarter per cent. dearer, Spanish Bonds
on the contrary are again depressed, though it is difficult to
observe any reason for their being so. There is no chance of
success to the Priests and Smugglers impiously denominatir,
themselves the Army of the Faith in that country. The people •
generally will unite with the Constitutionalists, for they now
know the difference betwixt fanatical oppression and well regu-
lated freedom. In the Colombian Bonds there were great va-
riations. They opened at 821, and rose to 87.—The closing
price was 8.5.

M. 0 WEN.—(From a Dublin Paper.)—We
understand that Mr. OWEN continues very active
and successful in his exertions to interest the
nobility and gentry in favour of his plans for
the amelioration of the people of Ireland, by
means of an improved system of employment and
instruction. During the last week he visited
several institutions for education, and examined
some establishments of merited labour. He dined
with the Bishop of Down, and spent some days
with the Duke of Leinster and Lord Cloncurry.
He had also an interview at the Lodge, in the
Phoenix Park, with the Lord Lieutenant, on
Wednesday last. His Excellency received him
with the utmost kindness, and listened with at-
tention to the detail of his plans.
