Flour, Meal, dec.-Since the sailing of the Caledonia,
there has been a good demand for home use, and the
market, as noticed in our last, has improved 121 cents,
the foreign advices having produced no feeling of de-
pression here-for the past three days there has been a
steady fair inquiry for consumption here and at the East-
ward, and the sales reach some 18 to 20,000 bls.

Grain-Within the week which has elapsed since the
departure of the Caledonia, the market has recovered
from its depression for wheat and prices of prime are 8
to 10 cents per bushel higher; since our last, the sales
include 5,000 bushels damaged Western at 82 cents; 700
inferior Genesse, 1 doll. 16c.; 5,000 new ditto, 1 doll.

Northern rye is a little higher; the sales are 7,000
bushels, at 75 to 78 cents, closing at the lower rate. In
barley we have only to notice a sale of 3,000 bushels
new, of which the market is bare, to arrive, at 66c.
Northern oats remain steady at 44c. to 46c. The market
for corn, on the arrival of the Union, dcclined 3 cents
per bushel, but since then it has become a little firmer,
there is, however, little or no activity, the supply
equalling the demand; the sales for the three days are
80,000 bushels, at 60c. for heated New Orleans, 62c. to
63 to 63i for sound mixed western, 631 c. to 65c. for flat
yellow, 65c. for white, and 66c. to 67c. for round yellow.
Ir beans and peas there is little or nothing doing.

has prevented remittances to make up for any deficiency
their non-acceptances would have caused.

THE LIPS or OYSTERS.--Oysters lead, on the
whole, as is known, a tolerably quiet life; but even they
cannot get through this world it appears without their
troubles. Now they are attacked by a kind of star-fish
that lies watching till they open their shell to take in
fresh water, and then darts in its long tough arms, kills
them, and consumes them in a fresher state than they
have ever yet been enjoyed by any epicure ; now their
sorrows proceed from within, in the shape of a small
worm that destroys them ; and sometimes, according to
the testimony of the people of Sylt, they are attacked
successfully by a bird called thence an oyster-fisher, who
disturbs their tranquillity whenever he can find an op-
portunity of introducing his long sharp beak. When
this may be, however, does not seem very clear. There
are also various diseases by which they are occa-
sionally attacked; but those who are so fortunate as to
escape these dangers, pass their time comfortably enough,
for thirty or forty, or even up to a hundred years, unless
fate has allotted them the more honourable destiny of
being dredged up, packed into barrels, and sent off to
Copenhagen, Berlin, Hamburgh, or St. Petersburgh,
where their merits are duly appreciated.—People's Journ.
The painting by Raphael, known by the name of
the " Virgin of Loretto," of which there are numerous
copies, though the original has long been believed to
have been lost, or destroyed, has been at last found at
Genoa, by the Marquis de Spinola, Grand Chamberlain,
and President of the Albertine Academy. The distin-
guished connoisseur, instead of converting this precious
discovery to enrich his own collection, has offered it to
the King of Sardinia, who at once decided upon making
the acquisition. All the artists of Turin have examined
it, and pronounced it to be authentic.
