Admiralty, June 30th, 1817.
Sir,—l am commanded by my commissioners of the Admi-
ralty, to transmit to you herewith, for the information of the
committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, a copy of a
letter from Lieutenant Dolling, agent on board the contract
steam-ship Hibernia, relative to her being called out of her
course on the homeward passage by the Richmond, of Mil-
ford, supposed to have been in distress, but merely required
to be reported, and my Lords request that the committee
will take any steps in their power to prevent the recurrence
of an incident so disadvantageous to the public service, and so
likely to produce inattention to signals of distress.
I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Very limited supplies of English Wheat have been
received up to our market this week, yet several of
Monday's unsold samples were on offer. Owing to the
immense arrivals of foreign, the demand for all kinds of
Wheat of home produce was excessively dull, and
scarcely any sales were effected, notwithstanding the
factors offered all qualities at a decline on Monday's
currencies of fully 5s per quarter. This makes a total
fall from the highest point of not less than THIRTY-SIX
SHILLINGS per quarter: Upwards of 50,000 quarters of
foreign Wheat having come in, that article was very
dull, and fully 4s per quarter lower than on Monday
last. Barley—the supply of which from abroad was
tolerably good—sold heavily, at a decline of from is to
2s per quarter. In Malt, next to nothing was doing, at
late rates. The Oat trade was very heavy, and prices
receded is to 2s per quarter. Beans were a mere drug,
and quite 2s lower, while Peas and Indian Corn were 15
cheaper. Flour was offering on lower terms.

Our market being but moderately supplied with
Beasts (the quality of which was very inferior), and the
attendance of buyers somewhat numerous, the Beef
trade was firm, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond,
Monday's prices. There were on offer 350 Beasts, 780
Sheep and Lambs, and 83 Calves from Holland and
Germany; as also, 200 Scots from Scotland. The num-
bers of Sheep were rather limited; hence the Mutton
trade was steady, at late rates, and at which a good
clearance was effected. Lambs moved off freely, but
the highest quotation for the best Down qualities did
not exceed 6s per 81bs. The bale for Calves, though the
supply was good, ruled firm, at full currencies. In Pigs
very little was doing. Milch Cows were heavy, at from
161 to 18/ each, including their small Calf.
