THE WEST INDIA MAIL.

The Dee arrived at Southampton this morning at a
quarter after eight, from the West Indies and Mexico.
She brings on freight 243,464 dollars, the whole of
which are on merchants' account; there is not one for
diridena

The Dee does not bring news of any importance from
Central America. Troops were collecting from all
quarters to repel General Flores, whose movements in
Europe have been greatly exaggerated. A coalition of
the different republics on the Pacific was forming to
prevent his landing from Mexico. We learn that Santa
Anna was with his army at San Luis Potosi, but re-
ports had reached Mexico that he had marched out to
meet the American army. It was thought the Ameri-
cana would soon be at the gates of Mexico, and dictate
their own terms to the Mexicans. The Dee brings 61
passengers.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE..7FRIDAY..

The announcement of the failure of one of the leading
houses here in the corn trade, and large importers of
foreign grain (involved in liabilities between 200,0001.
and 300,0001.) had a most prejudicial effect utton the de-
mand to-day for all descriptions of grain. During the
present week the arrivals of English Wheat bare been
on a very moderate scale, and the show of samples this
morning was limited. Still, however, the demand for
that article was extremely inactive, at barely, but at
rothing quotable beneath, Monday's prices. At the
close of the market a clearat ce had not been effected.
Nearly 19,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to
hand this week. A very large quantit3 waa again oe
offer, while the trade was depressed, and the inferior
samples might have been purchased on easier terms.
Toe supply of Barley was small; nevertheless, thy. trade
was heavy, at barely stationary prices. With Malt we
were scantily supplied. All kinds were very dull, but
rot lower. Owing to the large imports of foreign, the
Oat trade was depressed, at somewhat less money.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, commanded
aearely any attention,

The number of B, a,ts on idler nere this rooming was
seasonably good but a very great di ficiency was ob-
served in their general quality. The few prime Scots,
Devons, and Herefords on sale, moved off steadily, a: d,
iu some instances, t: quotations had an upward ten-
dency ; but all other quadtie!, of Beef were a dull in-
quiry, at late rates. There wre in- the market 421
Oxen and Cows, 3,060 Sheep and Lambs, and 325 Calves
from abroad, 200 Sheep awl Lambs from Ireland, 150
Scots, and 400 Sheep from Scotland. Prime Down
sheep were in good rrquest, at very full prices. Other-
wise, the Mutton trade was dull. The Lamb trade was
tolerably firm, but we can notice no improvement in
value. Nearly seven hundred Calves were brought for-
ward, yet the Veal trade was steady, at late rates. In
Pigs, ex-leedingly little was doing, at Monday's curren-
cies. Milch Cows were heavy, at from 161 to 191 each,
including their small calf.

uTTIWELL WOOD, Esq., to sunmir TO PUBLIC S s LE, at
the Auelon Mart, near the Bank of England, on TrEsPAY. Septem-
ber 14, at Twelve o'clock, in One Lot,
The above very valuable, beautifully compact, and attractive
PROPERTY, only five miles from York, with every advantage as
no society, hounds, game, and fishing ; comprising above 1,309 acres
of highly-cu'tivated land, richly titn-ered, admirably enclosed, and
lying in a perfect ring fence between the Burlington and 'lull roade
and the river Dement, divided into six superior farms, with neat
substantial brick-built houses and homesteads. also several lodges
and co tages for keepers and woodmen. It offers a fine investment
for capital, but very considerable sums have been expended for
several years past in d. aining and planting, in the formation of
roads and pleasure drives, in new buildings, and otherwise im-
proving and embellishing the estate, with a view of its be-
coming a residence ; and the site for a mansion was marked
out by the late Mr. Gilpin, in a central parklike paddock
of about 40 acres, in full command of its own beauti-
tiful woods, the church, and a bold mountainous range
of the distant Wolds. In connexion with this site various
ornamental plantations, with extensive diversified walks lead-
ing to the woods, have b -en formed with the utmost care, parti-
cularly an extensive arbor tum full of the most curious and
valuable coniferous plants, beautiful thorns, &c., containing
almost every variety of tree and shrub wlrch will thrive in this
climate. There is a small shooting box on this spot, with dog-
kennels, coach-house. and stalls, and an American garden in
one of the woods. The importance and attractions of the pro-
perty consist in its extent, compactness, improvable soil, rich
Pastures, On the river, and its remarkasly thriving oak woo Is ; that
it is tithe-free and ireehold (exc:tpt a few acres), and also in its
delightful seclusion, though only five miles from To: k, without a road
across it. The shooting is first-rate, although the rabbits have been
destioyed for the sake of the farms and woods, and stock of hales
greatly reduced.

The estate may be viewed by application to Mr. Jelin,on, at
Scorcby ; and descriptive particulars. with plans, may be had on the
premises ; at the chief lintels at York, liev.rley, Bull, Derby, Man-
