Ilorning .. 26 minutes after 4 Evening .. 41 rninntes after 4.

, ment have devoted all their energies to the improvement
of Ireland. Night after night the Legislature has
been occupied almost exclusively on Irish affairs.
Matters of the deepest interest to this country have
been postponed, while immediate and attentive consi-
deration has been given to any question relating to
Ireland. An addition of eight millions of pounds
sterling has been made to our national debt, the
whole of which has been devoted to Ireland. The
representatives of the people have unhesitatingly
sanctioned the enormous expenditure, and by so doing
have deprived themselves of the power of even asking fur
a remission of many of the taxes that press on the na-
tional industry, and their constituents have invariably
approved of their conduct in so doing. More than
400,0001. has been collected by voluntary contribu-
tions, in addition to large sums that have been pri-
vately distributed in the afflicted districts. Vessels
of war have been freighted with flour, meal, and bis-
cuits, in the preparation of which relays of men have
been engaged, without intermission, night and day in
the public victualling yards. Nothing in reason has
been omitted or left undone for the people, and yet
their pastors, men who profess to speak their senti-
ments and to direct their opinions, have dared to
speak in the following terms of their benefactors,
v; a..

" That no language at our command can sufficiently
express the horror we feel at the conduct of the
present bungling Government in striking off the public
works simultaneously, on Monday last, vast masses of
the moat destitute of our respective parishioners, who
had no other earthly means of support for themselves
and their families ; that the cries and shrieks of those
famishing creatures, which have been incessantly ring-
ing in our ears since that fatal day, are enough to move
even the most obdurate to sympathise with those poor
outcasts, who have been thus sacrificed by the ruthless
policy of those monsters, who, as it is well known, are
anxious to rid the country by any means of its super-
abundant population.
"That Government, by thus cruelly, recklessly de-
priving thousands of their only means of subsistence be-
fore the machinery of the new Relief Bill hail been ready
for operation, are unquestionably responsible for all the
terrible consequences which must inevitably follow in
the interim from such a dangerous experiment, and are
accountable before God aid man for the lives of those
forlorn creatures who are now doomed to die of starva-
tion in this unfortunate locality."
And again—

" That we cannot separate without pointing attention
once more to the psinful subject which we endeavoured
to press upon the Government at our last meeting on
the 9th instant, namely, that tillage in this district is
totally neglected ; that combination' still continues
hare, and must continue as long as the Government and
the Legislature close their ears to the cries of the Irish
people, as they have hitherto done; and, as for the land
lords, so far are they from troubling themselves about
helping their tenants to get seed, that, on the contrary,
the generality of them, quite regardless of the fate of
their tenants, chuckle with un-Christian delight at the
hippy prospect of soon having their lauds to themselves:'

None have spoken more violently than those
very persons themselves against the retaining on
public works the quantity of labour that should be
engaged in agricultural operations, and in making due
preparation for the ensuing harvest. No sooner is
the cry attended to, and a certain number of those
best able to support themselves, and most likely to
obtain work from the farmers, set free, than a new
howl is set up, and a still stronger condemnation ut-
tered than before. It is hard to characterise this conduct
as it deserves ; the term " mania" has been already
applied, and it is the most charitable way of account-
ing for it. The most strenuous advocate could
scarcely set up any defence, save that of " insanity,"
for those clerical agitators. We are happy to say
that few participate in the sentiments to which they
have given expression. Men of all parties in other
parts of Ireland, however widely they may have
differed from the Ministerial policy, have invariably
given the members of the Cabinet credit for the
best intentions. They have admitted the extraordinary
difficulty of their position, and have spoken of them
in the language of gratitude, for the anxious desire
they have exhibited, not only for the temporary relief,
but for the permanent welfare of Ireland. It would
be hard, therefore, to visit on the country generally
the fitting punishment for such impropriety, to make
the innocfait suffer for the guilty. The resolutions,
therefore, should be received with the profound con-
tempt and scorn they so richly deserve.

The Emperor of RUSSIA has issued a ukase inter-
dicting the circulation of the Polish coin, even in
any part of Poland, and forbidden all the public
offices, from May Ist, to receive any such coin in
payment of public dues.

We learn from Munster (Westphalia) that on the
29th ult. the Bishop of that diocese, while walking
in the corridors of his cathedral between six and
seven in the evening, was struck with apoplexy, and
died in a very few minutes. His last words were,
"My hour is come. U God! have mercy on my
soul !" Ms was raised to the see only on the 10th of
December 'fast.

Madri& papers of the 28:h and 29. h ult. have
arrived.

The 17-azette of the 28th contains a decree removing
the Duke DE SOTOMAYOR and his colleagues from
office and another appointing their successors. These
decr!es are countersigned by Senor ROCA DE To-
GOPLEs, the Minister of Commerce of the Sotomayor
Ministry. The following are the new Ministers :
M. Pacheco, President of the Council, and Minister
fr,r Foreign Affairs ;
M. Salamanca, Minister of Finance ;
M. Benavides, of the Interior ;
General Mazzarredo, of War ;
General Sotelo, of Marine ;
M. Pastor Diaz, of Public Instruction and Com-
merce.

The portfolio of the Minister of Justice was offered
to Senor ARRAZOLA, and refused. The portfolio of
War was offered in the first instance to General
MANUEL DE LA CONCHA; had he accepted it, General
MAZZERRBDO would have been nominated Minister of
Marine. The Chamber sat on the 29th, and the new
Premier, PACIIECO, made an official announcement of
the change of Ministry, and declared that the new
Cabinet would act upon liberal but moderate prin-
ciples. He made an appeal for support to the
patriotism of the Chamber, and requested a suspen-
sion of the sittings for a few days, in order that the
Ministers might examine, with a view to approval or
rejection, the ditferent Bills which had been pre-
sented by their predecessors. Alluding to the foreign
policy of the new Cabinet, M. I'ACUECO said that it
would not permit the throne of the Queen of Poit-
TUGAL to be placed in peril. Of the domestic feeling
he said that it should be founded on the principle of
legality, and that, if any event should occur contrary
to the hopes and expectations he entertained, to render
it necessary to suspend for a time the constitutional
laws, the :Ministry would immediately after the resto-
ration of a,..der abolish all extra-legal measures, and
call upon the Chamber for a Bill of indemnity
for the suspension of the laws. Some of the
Deputies brought forward a proposition to the
effect that M. SALAMANCA, the new Minister
of Finances, having held contracts with the State,
should now, in consequence of his accession to
office, give in his accounts, and pledge himself to
abanlon all financial operations of a private nature. M.
SALAMANCA stated that, in accepting office, he had
made all the necessary arrangements for relinquish-
ing -personal speculations, and repelled in warm
terms all insinuations against his probity. Although
the feeling of the majority of the Chamber seemed
to be with him, the authors of the proposition in-
sisted upon going to the vote, when they were de-
feated by a majority, the numbers being 134 against
56. The Progressists voted with the Ministry. It
was supposed on the 29th that the Cortes would be
prorogued for ten or twelve days to enable the
Ministry to complete its arrangements. General
SERRANO made his appearance on the 28th before the
Procurator Fiscal, in obedience to the summons
issued by that functionary, but it was understood
that the prosecution against him would be imme-
diately abandoned.

Accounts from Barcelona in the Madrid journals
state that the Montemolinists are severely pressed by
the QUEEN'S troops, and that General PAIL► has issued
orders to his soldiery not t 3 molest the people of
towns in any way, but to render them all protection
and assistance in their power.

A Madrid letter of the 29th ult. says—" The
change of Ministry has produced a powerful effect
upon the funds. The Three per Cents. have risen to
311. The partizths of the late Cabinet say this has
been the effect of some financial combinations by M.
SALamaxca. ; but the friends of the new Cabinet
profess to regard it as a strong indication of public
confidence."
It is said that ESPARTERO will be appointed to the
London Embassy, NAlrvatz to the French Erebus's',

that OLOZAGA will be recalled, and a general
amnesty proclaimed.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.

The change in the Spanish Ministry is the subject
of comment in almost all of them, and is attributed,
not to its true cause, viz., the natural repugnance of
a young and spirited woman to those who have in-
sulted, thwarted, and tyrannized over her, and have
ruthlessly sacrificed her happiness and her interests to
forward their own ambitious and avaricious views ;
but to the intrigues of Mr.BuLwER. The exhibition
of impotent rage on the part of CHRISTINA'S organ, La
Presse, is quite amusing. It says—
" In carefully considering the present circumstances,
the events which are occurring contrary to all rule, the
proceedings of this Ambassador of Opposition, kept by
England in Spain to create anarchy, the language of the
Spanish journals which are notoriously under his de-
pendence, the still more significant language, in our
eyes, of the press of the F,reign-office, it is evident to
us that English diplomacy is labouring to re-sieze by the
most M itch iave lic intrigues, the ground that it lost in
the affair of the marriages. The English policy does
not count much on the protests that it has made for the
future; it prefers to turn the present to account. It
aeems to it, moreover, a piquant thing to twist to its
profit an arrangement which it so uselessly combatted.
Mr. Bulwer, too, is there with his vanity to be avenged
at the same time as the policy of his country, arid to
every one who knows how to read events, it is clear that
nothing is spared to promote that object. Thus a dis
sension arises between a young Queen contending
against the difficulties of the Government, and her consti-
tutional Ministry supported by both Chambers; a Minis-
try
falls at the very moment at which the two Chambers
gise it a striking proof of their support; an endeavour
is evidently being made to obtain a dissolution of the
Cortes which have been just elected, and which no friend
of Spain could think of overthrowing at the commence-
ment of their first session; the partizans of the British
Embassy in the press and in the Cortes reassume all
their audacity; the Queen-Mother, who maintained the
union of the Moderate party, has been obliged, it is said,
to quit Spain; Spain marches rapidly towards a crisis,
which may become lamentable; and during this time the
English press re doubles its invectives and calumnies
against France, against the Moderate party, against all
that can save Spain from the domination of England.
All these circumstances reveal a redoubtable cause of
action, to neutralise which too much dispatch cannot be
employed. We are convinced, therefore, that our Go-
vernment at this moment has something else to do than
to insult, in a Ministerial journal, the members of the
Conservative party who have remained faithful to the flag
under which the last general election took place. We
believe that they should not slumber in the satisfac-
tion of the indirect advantage obtained in the affair
of the Spanish marriages. The policy which ef-
fected those marriages is in danger of allowing itself to
be compromised. The cunning and shamelessness of
England threaten to turn the result we applauded to
her profit and the triumph of anarchy in Spain. It is
time to reflect more than seems to be done ; it is time
to retake the advantage that we are perhaps on the eve
of allowing to be wrested from us. England is morti-
fied, and it is only by opposing an incessant persever-
ance that we can struggle against her efforts. Why does
not M. Bresson return to his post? Why does he
leave the field free to Mr. Bulwer, who now dominates
in the secret counsels of Queen Isabella, who openly en-
deavours to effect the annihilation of the moderate
party, who has already reversed the Ministry which re-
presented that party, the Cortes, and all regular in-
terests in Spain ? Can it be conceived that in a crisis
which may become so grave, when Queen Christina is
absent, France is not represented at Madrid ? Is it
desired then to lose all the advantage conquered six
months ago at the price of an alliance to
which great importance was attached ? Is it
desired to become the laughing stock of Europe? Let
our Government then become warned, and let it at least
exert itself in the circle of its legitimate influence! The
conclusion given to the marriage affair, in spite of the op-
position of England, undoubtedly assures it real advan-
tages, but at the same time imposes upon it a great re-
sponsibility. Let it not forget that for a single day!
And let Spain, too, think seriously upon it ! A
malignant influence s,_elts to dominate her destinies, and
its intervention in the complications which arise is only
too evident, The mind which dictated the famous in-
structions of the 19th July; the band which directed the
scandalous demonstrations which were made in Spain
and in England at the news of the conclusion of the
marriages; the policy which tries to compel Spain to dis-
inherit her Infanta, and to violate her constitution, and
which caresses the Legitimatist Pretender kept at London
as an object of dread to Spain—England, in one word,
menaces at this moment the repose of Spain. And what
aggravates the danger still more, this policy disposes of
a party in Spain, and finds an evident support in a frac-
tion of the Spanish press, which has not known how to
preserve itself from its action."

Here we take note of an admission in this
the organ of Queen CHRISTINA, which proves the
truth of the assertions that have all along been made
by the patristic party in Spain, and the falsehood,
the absolute and downright falsehood, of the denial of
those assertions so audaciously put forth by Cirrus-
TINA and her supporters. CHRISTINA is and has been
an agent of France in Spain. CHRISTINA, although
holding no official appointment in Spain, although
only simple Duchess of RIANZ %RES and a Neapolitan,
has interfered in the Government, exercised the rights
of sovereignty, and overruled frequently the will of the
QUEEN. Such were the assertions of the patriots,
assertions denied by CHRISTINA and her organs.
IVhat says La Presse 1 " Can it be conceived that in
a crisis which may become so grave, when Queen
CHRISTINA is absent, France is not represented at
Madrid ?" If CHRISTINA does not interfere in matters
of state, as has been asserted, if CHRISTINA is not
the agent of France, what difference can her presence
at, or absence from Spain, make to France? We thank
the Presse for this admission.

The National ha the following on the subject of
:he Spanish Ministerial changes :

" Our predictions of the inevitable return of the
English influence at Madrid have been realised much
sooner than we expected. After a long resistance, the
Sotomayor MiniStry has been vanquished, and fairly
turned out of doors by the Queen. Her wishes were
known, but it was necessary to find a Minister who
would consent is countersign the dismissal of the others,
and this was difficult. The Minister of War, who was
the first to get weary of his position, had wished to re-
tire. This first breach caused the whole edifice to give
way. The Duke de Sotomayor, however, held his
ground, and refused to the end to give up his port-
folio ; it was necessary, therefore, to take it from
him by force, and M. Bow de Togores consented to
become the executioner of his colleagues. The Queen
has appointed DI. Pacheco President of the Coun-
cil, M. Salamanca Minister of Finance, and M. Pastor
l)iaz Minister of Public Instruction. These three per-
sons occupy the first rank in the fraction of the Opposi •
tion, which is calle.l Puritan. Their three colleagues
are of a different character. M. Mazzarredo has the
portfolio of War, M. Benavides that of the Interior,
and M. Sotello that of Marine. This monster Ministry
has the head of & woman and the tail of a serpent. It
is called a cabinet of coalition. It should rather be
called a cabinet of transition between the Moderates
and the Progressists. We do nut know, besides, whether
Mr. Bulwer will be much in a hurry to adopt the latter,
for we do nut believe that he will find among them many
men of whom England would be so proud as she is of
M. Pacheco and his friends. It was with these persons,
and not with the Progressists, that Mr. Bulwer had an
understanding at Madrid, for the protest against the
Montpensier marriage. They were his legal support,
and the extra-legal support figured in his calculation as
an en ras. We believe Mr. Bulwer has now four men
out of six of the new Cabinet; and now behold how, at
the end of six months, the influence of France is pre-
ponderant on the other side of the Pyremi,!s."

The Legitimatise organ, the Union Monarchique,
says—

The &Wele, in noticing the change of Ministry,
says—

" If a pronunciainieito be desire], the affair is in good
hands, for it is Mr. Bulwer who now holds the strings
England made the revolution of La Granja, and brought
about the abdication of Valencia; but she was afterwards
beaten in the person of Espartero and in the marriage
question. It is her turn now; and we may believe that
she is determined to take it seriously. We know full well
that whatever we might have done in Spain, England
would have counteracted us. France requires that Spain
should be powerful; England that she should be thrown
out of the path of her veritable political interests. An-
tagonism was inevitable. But what we deplore is that
our Cabinet has not understood that the affinity of France
and Spain is by revolution, by democracy, and by liberty.
We ought to have taken in the Peninsula the position
that we have given to England."

Had the k'rench Government taken in Spain the
position which a Government, the offspring of the
revolution of July, ought to have taken—had it
shown itself the friend of liberty and of progress,
England would never have sought to counteract its
efforts, and the entente cordiale would never have
been interrupted.
" The price of flour and grain," slys the Moniteur,
"continues to decrease in Paris. The rate at which
flour sold on Thursday reduces the price of the kilo-
gramme of bread to 55c., being a diminution of 14
centimes per loaf of 2 kilogrammes."
The Constitutionnel of Friday has a long article
defending the conduct of COLETTI and the Greek
Government.

According to the Journal des Chemins de Fer, the
Ministry contemplate introducing some measures for
the relief of the railroad interest.

The squadron of evolution is to sail from Toulon in
the beginning of April.

The Courrier de Marseilles of the 30th ult. con-
tains the following:—
" The Infante Don Enrique, brother of the King of
Spain, who arrived on Saturday morning at Marseilles,
intended to sojourn some time in our city, for he had
hired, for a month, an apartment in the Hotel Beauveau.
' In the course of that day he was visited by Lieutenant-
General Hautpoul, by the prefect of the department, and
the Consul of Spain ; and the cordial reception he had
experienced confirmed him in his resolution to pro-
long his stay at Marseilles. A diplomatic decision,
however, soon upset all his projects. To the great
astonishment of every body the Infante was immediately
ordered to quit Marseilles and France. The order, which,
no doubt, reached by the telegraph, was notified to him
at nightfall, with an injunction to depart betbre day, for
Nice, and thence proceed to Naples, At four o'clock on
Sunday morning a postchaise arrived at the gate of the
'lota Beauveau, and the Prince, without giviog any
explanation, took his departure for the Sardinian states."

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
(THIS MORNING.)
Shortly after three o'clock this (Monday) morning,
one of the most extensive water-side fires, since the con-
flagration at Topping's Wharf, broke out upoa the pre-
mises known as the Kent and Sussex Wharf, on the
Southwark side of London-bridge, the property of Mr.
Alderman Humphery.
The north frontage of this range of building faces the
river Thames within a few feet of the bridge, the dis-
tance from the one to the other being filled up by the
Hibernia Wharf, which is tenanted by Messrs. Alder-
man Huraphery, Messrs. Gold aid Co., wholesale
grocers, and Messrs. Mann and Skinner, cider mer-
chants. The south front of the Kent and Sussex Wharf
faces the basement story of the Bridge-house Hotel,
while on the western aide it is adjoined by the wharf
denominated " Mann's Wharf."

The ground plan of the building forms a parallelogram,
the depth of which is about 180 feet, and the breadth
nearly twenty feet. The premises were lofty, with four
floors, and a double connecting roof stretched in a con-
tinuous line from the northern to the southern gables.
The fire made its appearance, in the first instance, in
the front facing the water's edge, from the windows in
which the policeman on duty upon the bridge observed
a strong glare of light, and immediately a huge body of
flame burst from the lower part of the wharf, and rushed
upward with uncontrollable fury. Information of the
circumstance was instantly dispatched to the several
engine-stations, the police stationed in Montague.
place exerting themselves most judiciously in preventing
any persons from forcing in the doors before the arrival
of the engines. Mr. Henderson, the foreman of the
Southwark section of the brigade force, arrived with his;
engine, followed by the one from Tooley-street station;
Mr. Braidwood, with the Watling-street engine and
firemen, and others from more distant stations. The
West of England engine and that of the County were
also very ;early at the scene. At the time of the arrival
of the earliest engines considerable difficulty was expe-
rienced in obtaining assistance, and a sufficiency of
hands not being found until the several policemen
scoured the neighbouring beats, and knocked up parties
known by them to belong to the labouring population.
Orders were given by Mr. Braidwood, as soon as the fact
of the outbreak was made known to him, for the un-
mooring of the floating engine, and consequently the
gong was sounded to call the hands together required
to row the vessel from its station near Southwark.
bridge, and for hands to work it when it reached
the fire. Upwards of half an hour elapsed,
however, before a sufficiency of men could be obtained.
As soon as possible the engines on shore were got into
full play, two of them being stationed on London-bridge,
the hose being led over the Hibernia Wharf, while vast
bodies of water were poured upon the burning pile from
eagines stationed in Montague-close, and the floating
engine moored immediately in front of the wharf. For
some time but little impression was made upon the fire,
but by a judicious appointment of the appliances at hand
the flames were confined to the wharf, and the adjoining
property and party walls kept as cool as possible. For-
tunately there is, between Kent and Sussex and Hibernia
wharves, a passage or water-way about six feet in width,
the side walls are of great thickness, while the party
wall on the west side is of an excellent character. The
fire, consequently, was kept within the area of the wharf
in which it originated. By six o'clock, however, the
flames were got under, and by seven nothing could be
seen of the fire except the smouldering embers and the
bodies of smoke which arose from them, and the deplor-
able havoc the conflagration bad occasioned. •
How the fire originated it is not possible to explain.
An investigation it is expected will follow the calamity,
to be instituted by Mr. W. Payne, the coroner for the
City and the borough of Southwark.
LATEST PARTICULARS.

ELEVEN O'CLOCK, A.m.—The fire by this hour is
completely extinguished, and the firemen having gone
over the ruins as far as practicable, and with the several
parties belonging to the property consumed or damaged,
Mr. Braidwood has been enabled to lay thus early the
result of the catastrophe before the several insurance
offices.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, on :Saturday, was
quiet. Sales, 3,000 bales, of which 2,500 were American,
at 61,1. to 7A-1.; 100 Maranham, at 74d. ; 300 Surat, at
4+l. to 44d.; and 80 Egyptian, at 71d. to Bd. per lb.
There appears to be a very considerable difference of
opinion whether the Court of Directors will act up
stringently to the resolve they arrived at on Thursday
last, relative to the discount firms of the City,
and the bills sent into the Bank of England by
them. It is stated with very considerable confidence
in some quarters, that the resolutions will, in all pro-
bability, be rescinded. If such should be the case, the
directors, in the opinion of many, will only yield to the
expressed opinion of a clique of the rich firms of the
City of London. With the exception of speculators
and monopolists, the strict rule intended to be enforced
on and after the 17th inst. meets with much favour.
Much anxiety has been expressed in all circles this
morning, especially in circles connected with the West
India and South American trades, at the re-
ported loss of the royal mail steam ship the
Tweed. It is scarcely doubted but the ship has
foundered, but there are very strong grounds for the
belief that the loss of life has been greatly ex-
aggerated. Authentic advices were looked for with deep
ill terest.
A general expectation seems to prevail that, exclusive
If railway supplies, a large drain upon our stocks of
iron will take place on the return ot the almost innu-
merable vessels now arriving in our ports with cargoes
of bread-stuffs. These stocks are by no means accu-
mulating under the present demand, alt hough an in
crease of produce in the manufacturing department has
been carried out to a great extent—so far, indeed,
as the supply of materials will allow. This ex-
pectation, combined with the existing pressure of
orders, imparted a tone of cheerful feeling at the prepara-
tory meeting held at the hotel, Dudley, last week, when
a resolution was passed unanimously, to the effect that
the prices of iron should remain the same as last quarter.
It appears, therefore, pretty certain that the full nominal
price for manufactured iron, and the slight advance
upon pigs that was established last quarter-
day, will be easily sustained during the ap-
proaching quarterly meetings ; and under the adverse,
position of the general mercantile interests of the coun-
try, the satisfactory maintenance of existing prices may
be considered equivalent to an advance under ordinary
circumstances. An uneasiness among the workmen in
the Welch districts has been manifested, and in a slight de-
gree has contaminated this neighbourhood, but it has been
met by determined measures ot self-protection on thepart
of the masters, and with the prospect of more moderate
charges for provisions, and the summer season at hand,

MARKET NE WS.-(T HIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—(MONDAY.)
During last week the arrivals of all kii.ds of Grain, as
well as Flour, of home produce, were on a very limited
scale, while, from Ireland and Scotland, scarcely any-
thing came to hand. The imports of foreign Wheat
were good, viz., upwards of 10,000 quarters ; while
those of Barley exceeded 9,000 ; of Oats, 25,000
quarters ; and of Flour, 14,000 barrels, all exclusive of
a fair importation of Beans, Peas, and Indian corn.
The receipts of English Wheat fresh up, were very
small ; and the total supply of that article on offer—
owing to most of last Monday's unsold samples finding
purchasers on Wednesday, was comparatively limited.
The best qualities of both red and white commanded a
steady, but by no means brisk, inquiry, at prices about
equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight. In all other
kinds only a moderate amount of business was
doing, at unaltered quotations. At the close of business
nearly the whole of the Essex parcels had been disposed
of, but a few of those from Kent and Cambridgeshire
remained on hand, There was no business transacted
in English Wheat on French account; indeed, we did not
see a single foreign buyer in attendance The show of
foreign Wheat, from the weekly increasing arrivals, was
larger than for some time past ; still, however, the im-
porters were very firm, and some of them would not sell
except at a trifle more money. We, therefore, call the
foreign Wheat trade steady, at fully, but at nothing
quotable beyond, the rates obtained on Monday last. The
sales for the day amounted to about 4,000 quarters.
The quantity of English Barley on show was very
small, that of foreign somewhat extensive. The best
qualities of grinding and distilling moved off steadily, at
fully last week's quotations, but all other kinds were a
mere drug, at barely late rates. With Malt we were but
moderately supplied, yet the trade with that article was
in a very inactive state at barely stationary prices. The
show of foreign Oats being large, and mbre than tide.
quate to meet the wants of the buyers, the trade was Teri
dull at a decline in valise of from 6d to is per quarter, at
which depression very little progress was made in sales.
The quuntity of Beans in the market was by no means
large ; yet all kinds met a slow inquiry, at late rates.
Peas were very dull, but not cheaper. So little was
doing in Indian Corn, that prices were almost nominal.
Flour dull—the nominal value of the best town made
being 62s per 2801 b. Very few spi culative purchases
were made in American.

A decided increase has taken place in the arrivals of
