THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
This week's arrivals have been very small, but the wind hav-

and the buyers prefer wait;ng, so that very little business has
been transacted in any kind of Grain, and prices remain unva-
ried from Monday. Flour continues as last reported.
SMITHFIELD.
The supply was very short, and the trade very heavy, few
buyers being in attendance, and those purchasing vary sparingly,
the primest of all sorts barely realizing the currency of Monday

POLITICAL SUMMARY. OF THE

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Times, speaking of Lord Howick's speech on
Thursday night in the Commons, says :—" The son of
Lord Grey throws a new, and net too favourable, light on
the integrity of the Prime Minister. We should like to
hear by what arguments Lord Grey can persuade himself
that it is his duty to support any longer that Government
from which his son seceded because of its onward march
towards revolution."—The Morning Herald expresses
itself, as regards the condemned Newport Chartists as fol-
lows :—" We believe a short extension of time has been
given to the prisoners, during which Ministers are to posi-
t,vely determine their fate ; and during that time we trust
public opinion will express itself with an energy and effect
that will avert from the land the intended sacrifice of blood."
—The Morning Chronicle comments as follows on the pro-
bable result of Sir Y. Buller's motion :—" not the division,
but the discussion, is, as we arc told by the Tory Press, to
constitute the triumph of the party in this Parliamentary
onset. The pretension is a very modest one. It relin-
quishes hopes that have long heen boastfully announced.
It confesses the want of confidence in their own numbers
that has been loftily reiterated.:lt comes just in time to save
the credit that had been staked on a different result."—
The Morning Post alludes as follows to Lord Howick's
speech on Thursday night :—" Lord Howick may prevail
on himself to confide in a Government, which he shows
such excellent reasons for not confiding in, the reasonable
people of England, neither irritated by the ill-temper of
faction, nor bewildered by the entanglements of party
alliances, will and must refuse to share his Lordship's
confidence."

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(THURSDAY:. EVENING.)

POST.—Exchequer Bills have receded a little since
yesterday, but the English securities have otherwise re-
mained undisturbed. The near approach of the settling-
day in the Foreign Market, and of the period when pro-
vision will have to be made for the monthly commercial
payments, sufficiently accounts for the less favourable
quotation of the value of the unfunded debt. At all
events, it has been an extremely quiet day in the Money
Market, and we think we may say there is no specific cir-
cumstance to which the change can be ascribed. It
usually happens that, at this season of the year, when
our foreign trade becomes comparatively active, the
demand for accommodation, on the part of the mercan-
tile interest, is more general then during the winter
months preceding. The Cotton Market at Liverpool
is represented to be again in a sluggish state, which is
rather extraordinary, because, from all accounts, the
manufacturing classes are more steadily employed at
the present time than they have been at all since the
close of the last year. We have before us no data
upon which we can come to any very exact conclusions
as to the state of trade, taking it. upon the broad and
general principle, but the next fortnight or three weeks
will in all probability serve to develope it by a variety
of symptoms of which we have as yet but an indistinct
perception.'Whether
cultural prospects of the country, to our financial ar-
rangements or exchanges, or to the public revenue, the
commercial operations of the coming spring cannot but
be regarded by reflecting persona with the deepest in-
terest.

A rule for an attachment against the Sheriffs of
Middlesex was made absolute last night. This rule was ob-
tained on the ground that the Sheriffs had not paid over the
money to Stockdale. The Sheriffs will now order the money
to be paid.
The Earl and Countess of Cawdor received a
select circle to dinner last evening, at their residence in South
Audle.y-street.
