COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
M ama 4.—The steam-ship for the Grand Sultan was
launched from White's yard, at half-past twelve o'clock this
day. The preparations that were thought to be made for
the Royal Family proved to be for the Turkish Ambassador
and his suite. The ship went off in fine style, and in half-
an hour afterwards was in the Medina dock. She is likely
to prove a very ipowerful and fast vessel. She is called the
Yassitei Tidjaret.
Length extreme .. 210 feet.
Length of deck
Keel for tonnage
Breadth extreme over paddle-boxes 52 "
Breadth moulded
Depth in hold
Burthen in tons 936.
She was named by the rxincess Calimace, the lady of the
Turkish Ambassador, who, with E. Zohrab, Esq., the Turkish
Consul-General, and his lady, were present. The Emperor
of Russia's yacht was built in the opposite yard last year.
The lambing season in the Isle of Wight has proved good
as to the numbers dropped, but many of the ewes purchased
at Weyhill fair were too fat, and became diseased, and hun-
dreds of their lambs died from it when they were about eight
or nine days old. One farmer has lost considerably above a
hundred by this disease.
HALF-PAST Sir, P.M.—The Poole steamer, just come up,
passed her Majesty's steamer Sphvnx, in tow of two steamers,
to the westward, coming by the Needles passage, inside the

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)

conmr-ExcizAivom.

Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been
on a very limited scale, and the show of samples to day was
trifling. Still, however, the home .millers purchased with
extreme caution ; but, as about 1,200 quarters of Red were
taken for France, those qualities improved fully is per
quarter. In White Wheat very little was doing, at late
rates. In Foreign Wheat a good business was transacted for
export to France, and the quotations had an upward ten-
dency. Both Barley and Malt were excessively all, and
the turn lower. The large arrivals of Oats from abroad pro-
duced much heaviness in the trade, and prices receded quite
Is per quarter. Beans were very dull, and is per quarter
lower than on Monday. All other articles were a slow in-
quiry.

In to-day's market the supply of Beasts on offer was
seasonably good as to number, but very deficient in quality.
Although the arrivals of slaughtered meat in the metropolis
during the present week have been comparatively small, the
Beef trade was heavy at Monday's quotations. With Sheep
we were fairly supplied, while the demand for that descrip-
tion of stock was i❑ a sluggish state, at barely the late im-
provement in value. '1 here were on offer .70 Oxen and
Cows, 50 Sheep, and 31 Calves, from Holland. I❑ Calves a
fair amount of business was doing at full prices. The Pork
trade was heavy, but without alteration in value. ➢filch
Cows sold slowly at from 16/. to 18/. 10s. each, including
their small calf.

With the very best Hops in pockets and bags, of last
yaar's growth, we are but moderately supplied, yet the
quantity is fully adequate to meet the wants of the brew ers,
who purchase with extreme caution, at late rates. The sup-
ply of all kinds of inferior Hops is good; hence, the demand
is heavy, at-almost nominal currencies :—Sussex Pockets,
