CORN-EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
During the present week very few arrivals of English
Wheat have taken place for our market coastwise. By
land carriage scarcely any samples have come to hand.
The attendance of buyers here to-day was small ; while
the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was
in a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's prices.
The imports of Foreign Wheat have been confined to
7,610 quarters. Selected samples moved off slowly, at
lull prices. The inferior kinds were dull in the ex-
treme, and rather lower to purchase. Foreign Barley
continues to arrive. Several parcels were taken for
grinding and shipment westward at previous rates.
Malt was in short supply, and heavy demand, at unal-
tered currencies.. A large quantity of foreign Oats—
upwards of 28,000 quarters--has come in. This had a
depressing influence upon the trade, and prices had a
downward tendency. Beans, Peas, and Flour dull, at
late rates. Indian Corn was held for more money.

The supply of Beasts on sale in our market of to.day
was seasonably extensive, both as to number and quality.
The primest Scots sold steadily, at prices quite equal to
those paid on Monday last. In all other breeds next to
nothing was doing at barely late rates. With Sheep w 0
were but scantily supplied. The Mutton trade was,
firm, at full currencies. There was a large number or
Lambs on offer; nevertheless, the demand for that de-
scription of stock was brisk, at, in some instances, en
advance in the quotations of 2d. per 81bs. The arrival
of Lambs from the Isle of Wight amounted to 300 head.
Calves moved off steadily at full rates of currency. In
Pigs scarcely any business was doing. Mulch Cows sold
at from 13L to 17/. 10s. each, including their small calf.

A slight increase having taken place in the fly in
various parts of Sussex and Kent, holders of most kinds
of Hops have become firm, and refused to sell except at
au advance of from 2s to 5s per cwt. At that amount
of improvement, scarcely any sales have taken place.

landed in bad condition, realised a high price. A par-
cel of Lisbon, of good quality, sold at 2s per box ad-
vance. Lemons are dull of sale, the quantity on
large, as several parcels from Palermo,

land, owing to the blockade at the former place, which
is fatal to articles of a perishable character. Nuts of all
kinds in good demand, and which is likely to continue
from the backward character of our own fruits.

dowed the Royal Naval School, his Lordship, at the

FISHING IN CHINA.—One of the methods of catch-
ing fish is most extraordinary, the fisherman goes into
shallow water in puris naiuralibus, and strikes the water
with a bamboo rod, standing pert. ctly still for a moment,
then again strikes the water and dives; and nineteen
times out of twenty brings up a fish; who having been
alarmed by the noise, s»itus down to the bottom of the
stream, when he or she is nabbed by the fisherman; this
is repeated until the fisherman has filled his basket,.
which is slung around his body, or until he is wesry of
