THE MARKETS, AND PROSPECTS

FOR NEXT SEASON.

The leading grain markets, in the United Kingdom,
have been but to a trifling extent affected by the develop-
merit of the Government in, asures. Had they been
brought into operation three months since, before our
C,mitinental nelgiibours became so much alarmed about
the state of their own supply of food, we would, un-
doubtedly, have received a very considerable accession
to our supply ; but, now that they are beginning to
experience the evil consequences of high prices them-
selves, it becomes a question, whether they will net
as Great Britain becomes more anxious to im-
port, increase their export duties, if not prohibit
the exportation of bread-stuffs altogether, as,
should they run themselves too bare in their
supply of food, the consequences: would affect them
even more seriously than ourselves. Barley is the 001 Y
article which has been seriously influenced by the mea-
sures ; but the demand for all sorts of meal still con-
tinues so extensive, that its value may probably advance,
again, the stock of that article being everywhere ir
mittd. We regret to find that, notwithstanding every
exertion of the millers, throughout the west and south
of Ireland, they are unable to manufacture enough to
meet the demand, although, in very many instances. theY,
keep their mills at work on Sundays. The crop of
oats is much more deficient than was at first sup'
posed. From our information we fear that it cannot
be considered more than half a crop. Upto the present
moment, the tillage of the land is remarkably back-
ward, in many parts of the country, the greater number
of the labourers being employed on the improvement of
the public roads, whereby intercourse is seriously in'.
peded, and much treasure wasted, without any adequate
benefit being likely to accrue. If exertions be not merle
immediately for preparing and sowing the land, the PO.
bability is that we shall have another year of suffering
and want, even more lamentable than the present one;
'ln Limerick, Cork, and several other towns, wheat an;
oats have receded in price, in consequence of increased,
country supplies during the last few days, induce('
perhaps, by fears, arising from the Government
sures ; but, as the stock in farmers' hands is by no means
so heavy as is generally supposed, it is to be feared thst
this increase of supply is only temporary.--Northern
Whig.

Since Saturday evening the arrivals of English Wbe3t'
especially from Kent, have been somewhat extensive, viz.;
4,440 quarters, mostly in fair condition. The stands ifer
heavily filled with samples ; at least four-fifths were those
which remained unsold at the close of Monday. This ell'
cumstance, together with the thin attendance of buYerit

those of many preceding weeks; but the imports of Foreign

PorsoiviNG.—Last night, information reached ILI
police-office that the wife and family of a man •
Dacertv, residing in High•street, were suffering froittnt
effects of poison, and, in consequence, medical aid was
to them; but they are still not out of danger. According 10
Docherty's own account, he had been employed to carry c°l6
into a house, the locality of which he will not tell, and in ,
cellar he found a quantity of oatmeal, which he carried 070:
with him. This was made into cakes yesterday, and inollge
diately after the family bad partaken of them, they becaTe
seriously ill, the presumption being, if the man's account
correct, that the meal had been mixed with arsenic, for the
purpose of destroying vermin. Docherty, who did not bier
self partake of the cakes, has, in the meantime, been take'.
