THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAK En-ELI), MAY 11 —The arrival of wheat is consider •
ably smaller than of late, and to-day the trade assumed a firmer
tone ; an advance of Is per quarter is obtained on the finest
qualities, whilst on the general descriptions we quote no change.
Barley is now in limited request, and not much offering.
Oats and shelling, as well as beans, meet a readier sale at higher
prices.

NEWBURY, MAY 10.—The 'supply of wheat on offer to-day
is a fair average, but we have to report an extremely dull
dragging trade; and although a further decline of Is to 2s per
quarter was submitted 10, still some quantity remains over
unsold. Barley but little on offer, and late rates supported.
Beans, peas, and oats, short supply, and fully support the
prices of last week.

LIVERPOOI, MAY 11.—At this day's market there was a
thin attendance of the town and country trade, and a limited
business was done in wheat at about Tuesday's prices. Oats
and oatmeal were not much inquired for but an advance of Id
per 401bs was demanded for the former article. Barley, beans,
and peas moved off slowly at late rates. Barrel flour was in
brisk request, and Inwards the close of the market was gene-
rally held at '23s per barrel. Indian corn met with a slow sale,
and a reduction of 6,1 to Is per quarter was submitted to in the
sales made. Prime yellow Indian meal could have been
bought at 15s 61 per barrel.
EXETER, FRlDAY.—Cattle The market was again heavily
supplied with all descriptions of stork, rather an unusual oc-
currence on the market-day immediately preceding a fair. The
beet fat beef, in a few instances, was worth 83 6d per score,
but a large proportion sold at 7s 6d to Bs, and some of ordi-
nary quality, at 7s. Cows and calves were a complete drug,
and although in one instance 141 was obtained, the best articles
generally could be bought at 101 to 121 each, and some were
sold under 7/. Very good barreners fetched 5s per score, but
articles of inferior quality sold at 4s 6d. Yearlings were
offered at 41 to 4/ ss, and two ar.d three year old steers at 6/
to 81 each. The supply of butcher's calves was very large, and
sold at 411 to 60 per lb. There was also a large supply of
sh ep, the large fat sheep being nearly unsaleable; in one in-
stance a lot of naked fat wethers and ewes, estimated at 241 b
the quarter, was offered for 3-1 s 61, a little more than 4id per
lb, but that priu was refused. Wethers in their wool, were
worth .54-,1 per lb, and ewes ditto, 4id to sd. Store hogs
sold at 214 to 28s each, and couples 32s to 425.
Lamb 7d per lb. A moderate supply of store pigs.
Pork Carcases—The supply was larger than that of
la-t week, by about 20 pigs. Prices were, however, rather
higher, in consequence of a considerable portion being bought
by Bristol dealers, and must be quoted at 7s to 8s 31 per
score. Pannier—Turkeys 5s 61 to Ss each ; ducklings, 4s to
6s per couple; fowls, 33 Gd to 4s 61 ditto; spring chickens,
2s Gd to 4s Giditto ; roasters, 4s Gd to 5s Gd each ; butter,
10,1 per 14 ; eggs, 20 and 22 for Is. Corn Exchange.—The
exchange has been well attended to-day, and 'we notice little
alteration in the quotation for English wheat, the growers pre-
ferring,to hold on rather than sell at less quotations than last
week. Warranted samples of English wheat must be quoted at
63 to Gi 64 per bushel. Belgium white wheat, 503 per quarter,
601 b to the bushel. French ditto, 46s and 495; red ditto, 445;
barley, 4s per bushel for best samples; oats were dearer, and
realised from 2s 6d to 4s per bushel ; fine flour, 34s to 37s per
sack.

BRIETOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 11.—A full amount of
business has been done in our market this week, and prices may
be quoted from 6d and Is per cwt higher. The refined market
is very firm, but it scarcely participates in the improvement
noticed in the raw material. Rum is still ueglected.—Bristol
Mercury.
LLANCEFNI, MAY 10.—Barley, 30s; oats, 16s 6d to 17s per
quarter ; butchers' stalls—beef, 6,1; mutton, 6d to 7d ; veal,

markets of late have lacer) thinly attended owing to the present
panic in agricultural produce.
RUTHIN, MAY 7.—Wheat averaged from 16s to 17s per

potat,es scarce at 15s per hobbet ; fresh butter, from lid to is

tT. PETERSBURG'', APltil. 27.—Messrs. Brandt and Co.'s
circular states that the weather continues to be very mild, and
the ice on the Neva is expected to break up very shortly, but
it may be a long time yet before the shipping season opens at
Cronstadt. The following transactions took place during the
last week in exports : —Tallow—The continued flat advices
from England as well as the reports of a large supply this year
of nearly or perhaps more than 15'1,000 casks, have affected our
prices very much, and obliged our Russian dealers to give way
considerably, in consequence of which much business was done
this week, and 2,50.1 casks were sold altogether ( per August, at
112 roubles, with all money down for first common Y. C.
tallow, at 363, 33/15s 7d per ton, free on board exclusive of
interest and del credere, au:•1503 casks were done even at 110
roubes, alimoney down, 3ii3, 3314 s per ton free on board, ex-
clusive of interest and del credere, 116 to 115 roubles with
handmoney, 107 roubles, with all money down for soap tallow ;
per June at 113 roubles, with all money down, 363, 341 Is 10d,
for first Ukraine Y. C., and at 115 roubles with handmoney ;
but as the most needy sellers have thus provided themselves
with money, 1 rouble more is demanded ; however, there is no
reason to believe this would be granted ; on the contrary, a
further fall of prices is very ►ikely, if the article should not be-
come firmer again in England. Hemp—Prices of this article
have likewise receded materially during the last fortnight.
Clean hemp for June and July delivery has been sold at 77 76
roubles, all money down (at 363, 231 18A 10d, 231 13s 2d per
ton free on board) 80 roubles with handmoney. Oiitshot we
could buy at 74 roubles all money down, at 76 roubles with
handmoney. Half-clean we could buy at 67 roubles all money,
down at 70 roubles with handmoney. The supplies this year
are expected to be ♦ery large, and estimated up to nearly
1,8J0,000 poods. The quality is reported to be inferior to
that of the supply of last year. The purchases on contract up
to this date amount to about 800,000 poods.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London New Price Carrent,llay 11.)

poses; still a good business was concluded. 'I
chases amounted to 630 hhds, &c., including a pu pur-
blic
sale of 126 hhds Barhadoes, which went upon lull term,;;
fine yellow fetched 41s 6d to 425, and middling to good
393 to 41s per cwt. For the week the total purchases
are 3,362 hhds, &e.
REFINED.—To-day the Refined Sugar market pre-

does not get larger.

privately a smaller amount is on offer. None has been
imported, whereas duty has been paid upon extensive
parcels. For Twankay the market has a dull aspect;

FIRING AT A RAILWAY TRAIN.—On Thursday two
young genii, men, earned Skelton and Eddy, who are
said to be must respectably connected, and engaged in
mercantile pursuits, were brought before Mr. Davis, the
magistr,,te at Leytonstone, charged with the atrocious
offence of firing at a railway train. It appeared that
when the down train of the Eastern Counties Railway
was passing near Forest-lane, on the previous evening,
the guard was alarmed by the sound of a pistol-shot,and
a concussion, es if some object had passed closely and
api&y by him. On lookirg round he perceived two
persons elo.o:! by the hedge, one of whom was in the act
of re• leading is pistol, which he immediately presented
at the train. The guisrd bubbel down before the axplo.
Si"; alter which his saw them again re•loading the
pistol. When the train got to Ilford, a telegraphic dis-
patch was passed to Stratford, and the prisoners were
take') into custody. The pistol was found upon themand some percussion caps, with a quantity of powder, but
nothing in the shape of bullets or shot. At the instance
of Mr. Pelhath, who appeared fur the defence, the pri,
soners were admitted to bail, no objection having bean
made by the superintendent of thi.s rallsay, who at-
tellliCti to watch ti o krocccdiow.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

NORTH SCHLESWIG, MAY 7.—The combined forces
of Generals Prittwitz and Bonin are now to advance
en masse to make a simultaneous attack.

It is notorious what the intention is respecting the
fortress of Fredericia ; for the present an ample num-
ber of the Imperial troops form the connecting link
between the armies stationed iu Jutland and the
Sundewitte.

The Dines have nineteen squadrons of cavalrystand-
ing at Veile, while the Germans have forty. The
German artillery also is far more complete than the
Danish. Previous to the entry of the Imperial troops
into Jutland, General Prittwitz issued a proclama-
tion, in which he assured the inhabitants of the safety
of their persons and property, and designated the
occupation of Jutland r.s a measure for compelling
Denmark to give an indemnity for the vessels and
cargoes which she has seized.
The appearance of the Schleswig-Holstein gun-
boats in the waters of Fohr and Stylt had the
immediate effect of making the Danish garri-
sons and the authorities of both those islands
quit their posts. The garrison embarked in their
boats on the west side of the island, and made up to
the ships of the line. The three Danish magistrates,
who fled to an English brig, narrowly escaped being
taken by the German gunners. The latter have
brought up a vessel laden with provisions, destined
for the relief of the Danes.
The only places not occupied by the Danes are the
Island of Alsen, and a few Schleswig Holstein Baltic
islands; and these will doubtless be speedily forced to
evacuate.
CUXISAVEN, MAY 7.—The English mail steamer,
the Princess Royal, reports having seen only two
Danish frigates and a small cutter at the mouth of the
Elbe.

AAMBURGH, MAY 7.—This day seven years ago,
,Ie beautiful church of St. Peter's was reduced to
ashes in the great fire at Hamburgh. The edifice
which has been'rebuilt on a magnificent scale, nearly
entirely by private subAcripticns, was consecrated to-
day with much solemity, in presence of all the
authorities and principal inhabitants.—Hamburgh
Papers.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, MAY B.—A short army bulletin has just
appeared in an extra evening supplement. It is
dated Carlburg, May 4, and says that the Imperial
army is now so concentrated as to command both
the banks of the Danube ; that the llungarians
had attempted to effect a transit at Szered, which
was repelled, but that they maintained their
position opposite to that city with 3,000 men and
nine pieces of artillery. The Hungarians had col-
lected materials for forming a position at Vay Szen-
daheley. The main of the Hungarian army, of
70,000 men, under Dembenski, is standing at Vaika;
and a Hungarian corps of 30,000 men is entrenched at
Kapolna ; another corps of 15,000 men is encamped
at Debreczin; a corps of 15,000 is standing at
Funfkinchen, while 30,000 are at Muhlenbach
in Transylvania. General Bern is at this moment
with Kossuth, at Debreczin.. The Hungarian ranks
are reinforced by thousands. Kossuth has issued a
proclamation respecting the entry of the Russians,
who he asserts were come, indeed, at the call of the
house of Hapsburg, but they came to fight for the

Hungarians.
It was known at Pesth that the further progress of
the Russians had been countermanded, and this was at
tributed to the desire of the Court of Olmutz to make
one more attempt at a negotiation with the Magyars.
The arrival of Privy Councillor Von Althon
seemed to give some colour to the idea that he was
come to negotiate with the Hungarians.
The Imperial troops are certainly in bad case since
the last engagement; they are standing at Weiselberg,
Bruck, and a part of Sumereln. General %Velden
has been wounded in the head. In the camp itself
the men are suffering dysentery, fever, want of
provisions, and want of clothing.—llamburgh Papers,
May 8.
Toe Sershe Nowine, a Servian paper, which is
published at Belgrad, publishes a remonstrance of the
Ban of Croatia, containing a long list of the grievances
and claims of the Croation nation. The tone of that docu-
ment is a sufficient explanation of the lukewarmness
which Baron Jellachivh has of late shown in the war
against Hungary, and of the real cause of his sudden*
retreat to his own country. The document proves
that the Ban of Croatia refuses to uphold the present
Cabinet policy of Austria.
