STRAND UNION. •
AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS.
At the last weekly meeting of the Board of Guardians, the Chai
Edward Willoughby, Esq., reported that lie had received a letter f 1.4
the Auditor, which he begged to read to the Board. It was as follow
Staines, April 9.1, 1835.
Sir,--I have the satisfaction to inform you, for the information of qt.. fs_ll if a
\,,_
is
Board of Guardians of the Strand Union, that I have completed tlidatr v
audit of the accounts for the past quarter. In making this communica. Ai 3
tion, I have great pleasure in giving expression to the conviction I feel
that the expenditure will bear the test of the most rigorous examined
lion. Objections were made, it is true, to certain items in the account,
but objections of a more frivolous and vexatious nature I have Iltrer
seen advanced ; and I cannot resist the temptation to congratulate the
Board on the gratifying fact, that in every single case, the objection
made served on explanation of the particular item referred to, to eZ.
hibit in a more striking light the constant and sedulous regard tr
economy and good management on the part of the Board.
In regard to the accounts theroselvee, I may be permitted to add thak
no accounts could be kept or presented in a more accurate manners
I remain, Sir, your faithlld and obedient servant,

CORN EXCHANGE.
There was last week a moderate arrival of English Grain and Flour,
and dart large quantity of Oats from Ireland. In the course of the week,
every icle wall sustained last Monday's terms. This nlornig h
supply of Wheat has been tolerably good, and of other Grain n
shothe fresh
supply of Wheat has bees tolerably good, and of Grain short. The
weather continues fine, and vegetation has in consequence progressed.
The millers having small stocks of Wbeat were under the necessity of
Purchasing the best parcels for immediate use, for whi-,11 cis. per quarter
advance was obtained on last Monday's terns; 1)1.1.1 there was a decline
in tho trade for all other kinds, and some 'quantity remains unsold.

Sugar rose in price at one time in the week, but declined again yes.
terday. The advance and decline were 6d. to Is, per cwt. on B. P.
Mauritius, and Bengal, leaving them now at last week's prices. Of
B. P. 2,200 hhds. sold. Refilled Sugar unaltered. The only kind of
Coffee unaltered is unclean B. P., which has declined 3s. per cwt. Teak

Lignea has declined 2s. per cwt. All other kinds of Spices, except Cin-
namon, rather lower. Cinnamon higher. Cotton has fallen id. to id.
per lb. The imports have been heavy, but the exports and delivieriea
light. For next week there is but little business advertised, and none
for Monday. A fair business has been done during the past Week.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, MAY Si,
Our farmers brought a large slippy of Wheat to this da•i's market, but
we had very trifling arrivals from the coast, and prints ruled a shade
higver than on last Saturday. In the value of Parley there was no
alteration. The supply of Oats was large, and th.e whole cleared off at
last week's rates. For Malt the demand comb-ales exceedingly limited,
and our quotations can with difficulty be realized. Rye meets a very
slow sale at late prices. Other grain remains without alterati.-,,n. Flour
is in fair request and prices the turn dearer.

MANCLIESTER CORN 11XCHANGE, MAY 5.
With light supplies and moderate stocks, the Corn Trade in this and
the neighbouring markets has anticipated in the improvement in prices
which has taken place this week throughout the kingdom, particularly
in the agricultural districts. The tendency upwards has however been
somewhat modified by the very favourable change in the weather, anti
thotigh higher rates have been fully established on the leading articles
of the trade, not more than an average amount of business has been
done, purchasers not being prepared to comply with the advance re.
quired to its Lull extent.

At Liverpool and Wakefield yesterday the trade was steady, and the
advanced rates were fully maintained; the business (Ming however was
only moderate.
The same description applies to our Market of this day, the demand
being confined to moderate sales of each article for present constrinption,
at an improvement upon the rates of this day week of 2d, try per
bushel on Wheat, Id. per bushel on Oats, Is. per quarter on. Bean; Is.
to 9.5. per sack on Flour, and 3d. per load on Oatmeal and ;belling. On
Malt, Barley, or Pease no particular variation.

RUSSELSAND GERMAN PAPERS

BRUt3SELS, MAN 4.--.CIIAMBER OF REPILISJENTATIVES—SITTING OF
4TII May.--The following petition of the Xiembers of the Communal
Council of Arlon was laid on the table :

" To the Members of the Chamber of Representatives
" Gentlemen,—Luxembourg in its whole extent, in its integrity, has
joined in the Belgian revolution.
" This integrity we call on you to maintain. Ever since 1830 the
territory of Luxembourg, cc-ded by the 24 articles, has made a part of
Belgium; ever since the commencement of the revolution its in-
habitants have taken part in the same combats ; they have run the
same dangers ; they have always proved that it was their will to remain
united to Belgium. They have yielded neither to the'threats nor to the
promises of the deposed Government ; and when Belgium was attached
in their territory they alone repulsed the aggressor who menaced it. It
would, therefore, be now not only injustice but ingratitude, in Belgium
to secure its independence by trafficking with its fellow-citizens. If it
abandoned them, then their brethren of Luxembourg would not aban-
don them. United to them we would defend ourselves from foreign do-
mination, without fear of the results, whatever they might be; we would
combat our common enemy; we would repulse him, or we would all
perish together.

" Our most sincere wish, our most ardent desire is, to see our brethren
remain Belgians like ourselves. This wish—this desire--ought to be
that of all men. The sacrifice required is too shameful not to be re-
pugnant to the whole nation; and you, Its representatives, you will arra
yourselves with the rights which you hold from the people and rroin
the Constitution, to repel the ignoble treaty which is attempted to be
imposed on us,"
