FOREIGN SUPPLIES.

The interest which attagHes- to the supplies of grain
and articles of human consumption of every description
at ties time is so universal, that an enumeration of the
more important of the arrivals from foreign states
cannot fail to be acceptable to the general public,
as it will be a subject of great importas'ice to those more
intimately concerned in the importations and traffic of
such articles. The subjoined is a complete and correct
list of the arrivals of grain, cattle, soeis ions at
- ---

that this list of two days' arrivals comprises a very con-
siderable quantity of grain and all sorts of provisions,
the influx of which at the present time must have its due
weight in the markets and in assisting to reduce the
present price of food. Every privilege that it is possi-
ble to concede in order to land these provisions from
the importing vessels, and bring them into consumption
without the least delay, is given by the revenue
authorities, who are evidently.most desirous, as an im-
portant and executive portion of the Government, espe-
cially in relation to this particular subject, to render
every practicable assistance in the case, to which end,
as yesterday was a general holiday and business was
suspended, special permission was, at the request of the
parties interested and concerned, granted for the re-
quisite attendance of a portion of the officers of the
revenue, in order to facilitate the admission of these
articles of food.

Messrs. Nicoll's, the inventors of the registered
paletot, was brilliantly illuminated at both their esta-
blishments, Regent-street and Cornhill, on her Majesty's
birthday.
EXPORTATION OF CORN.—The Commissioners of
the Customs have issued directions to the collectors and
comptrollers, and other principal officers of the revenue
at the several ports throughout the kingdom, to prepare
and transmit to the Inspector-General of Imports and
Exports, immediately after the termination of each week,
until further orders, commencing with the week ended
Wednesday, the 7th of April last, the undermentioned
accounts, accordin to an approved form, copy of which-
is subjoined; so far as the same relates to their respec-
tive ports; viz., an account of the quantities of corn,
grain, meal, and flour exported in the week; it being
understood that the monthly return required by the
order issued by the Commissioners in the month of
March is still to be transmitted in the same form as
heretofore. The weekly return alluded to, w hich is to be
transmitted to the Inspector-General of Imports and Ex-
ports, immediately after the termination of each week,
being " an account (from each port in the United King-
dom) of the qualities of corn, grain, meal, and flour
exported in the week ended Wednesday afternoon,
the —," and is to include the following parti-
culars:-Ist, the quantities of corn and grain,
viz., wheat, barley, oats, rye, peat, beans, Indian
corn, or maize, buck-wheat, bore or biggs, and malt;
and, 2d, meal and flour, viz., wheatmeal and flour,
barleymeal, oatmeal, rjemeal, and flour, peameal, bean-
meal, Indian cornmeal, and buck-wheatmeal; the former
being returned according to measure of quarters and
bushels, and the latter by weight. The return is to
specify the quantities ex;-,,irted in the week to foreign
countries or British possession:; and is to comprise,
separately and distinetiy—l. foreign, either from the
warehouse or otherwise; 2. British and Irish produce;
and 3, a compendium of the two, forming a total of the
quantity exported in each Heck. This return will be of
much interest and importance at the present time, as
showing the exact quantity of grain sent from the .
country, either of home growth or of that which has
been previously imported from abroad, and purchased
by and reshipped to other of the foreign states, especially
when several Members of the Legislature are anxiously
advising the Prime Minister to follow the example of
some of the continental states—great producers, and
usually exporters of corn—and prohibit the exportation
of these articles of food until the autumn, or the return
of the ensuing harvest time, hut r loch has not met his
views as being expedient, or likely to prove beneficial,
and therefore has not been carried into effect.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF WATCHES, DIAMONDS,
&c.—Yesterday information was received by the police that
Mrs. Parish, 5, New-street, Bizhopsgate-street, had been
plundered of a mahogany box, containing 65 gold and
silver watches, a diamond brooch with 35 brilliants, about
15 diamond rings and brilliant pins, three dozen silver tea
and dessert spoons, a string of large , pearls,about an ounce
of seed pearl, French gold brequets, and a large quantity of
miscellaneous jewellery, with which the thieves got clear off,
the value being 500/.
The screw steamer Sarah Sands had not reached
Liverpool yesterday afternoon at half-past four o'clock, the
hour at which our express left for London. The weather,
though fine, was thick and hasy, and telegraphic communi-
cations could not pass through to • Holyhead. She will con-
vey American news ten days later, and that from Mexico
may be looked for as highly important..
ELOPEMENT.—Great distress has been occasioned
in the family of a Gallant M.P., residing in this county, by
the clandestine departure of his daughter with a gay Lo_
of sickness,

of a mother.—Notts. Review.
WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY..—The con-
tinuance of brilliant weather has its usual effect upon the
minds of our millers; they purchase wheat most sparingly
at a decline of 10s. per quarter, and some forced sales have
been made at a still further reduction. Barley nominal.
WS 2d. per stone, Beans 2s. to 3s. per quarter, and Shelling
55. to 6s. per load loeer. Another version.—We have aeon-
tinuance of fine warm weather, which has great influence
upon the trade here to-day, notwithstanding there is no im-
provement in the arrivals. The business done in each article
is extremely limited, though considerably reduced prices
would be accepted.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
HOUSE OF LORDS, May 28.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool-
sack shortly before Five o'clock.
Several messages from the House of Commons were
brought up.
REWARDS TO BRITISH SOLDIERS AND
SALORS.
The Duke of RICHMOND said he wished to ask the
Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies, whether or
not it was intended to give any medals to those soldiers
who had served in the Peninsular war ? He had
received a communication from the Secretary of
State last year, in which he stated that it
was intended to distribute those medals, and he wished
to know if any such distribution was to take place. He
also wished to know whether the sailors who had served
under Nelson would or would not be lost sight of?
Earl GREY said that it was intended to investigate
the claims of the officers and soldiers employed during
the Peninsular war, and also the sailors.
BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION
RAILWAY.
Some cenversation (the greater part of which was
inaudible in the gallery) then ensued between Lords
BROUGHAM and BEAUMONT, as to the nature of the
Committee to be appointed upon the Birmingham and
Oxford Junction Railway.
Lord REDESDALE complained that the whole pro-
ceeding was novel and irregular, and if they agreed to
the motion they would be laying down a bad precedent.
Lord LYNINIURS r thought their Lordships should
delay the appointment of the Committee which was
sought.
After a few words from Lords CAMPBELL and
BROUGHAM,
Lord REDESDALE said, he was so convinced of the
bad precedent of appointing such a Committee, that he
gave notice that on Monday next he would move that
the order of the day for the appointment of the Com-
mittee be discharged.
The subject then dropped.
CONVEYANCE OF ENTAILED ESTATES.
Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the Lord
Provost and Town Council of Glasgow, praying that a
measure might be passed to facilitate the conveyance of
entailed estates.
