The reputation of the Bishop of Exeter is by no
means confined to this country. The Journal des Dcbatsi
speaking of the discussion on Socialism in the House of Lords,
observes---" 'The Bishop of Exeter is the too illustrious Dr.
Phillpotts; that is to say, all that intolerance in any country,
in any time, in any worship, has produced—most violent, most
bitter, and most incorrigible." It is something to be on an
eminence, even though it be a bad eminence.
THE MURDER IN CORNWALL.—The mur-
derers of Mr. Nevill Norway, of Wadebridge, confessed their
guilt on Monday night. They are two men, named William
Lightfoot, aged 30, and James Lightfoot, aged 24, brothers,
and living at the villag e of Burlawn, in the parish of St.
Breock. According to their own account one of them at-
tempted to shoot Mr. Norway with a pistol, which did not go
off. They then had a st ruggle, and several blows were given
with the pistol, which soon deprived him of life. One of them,
was lodged in Bodmin gac,l some days on suspicion, and both are
now fully committed for tl se murder.

of York, on Monday and 'Tuesday. The Magistrates present
were H. W. Bird, Esq.. 111. Thompson, Esq., the Rev. W.
L. Hird. and Barnard Fhigh, Esq., of York. After an exami-
nation which occupied nearly two days, the whole of them
were committed on a charge of high treason. We understand
that the authorities of Bradford will be enabled to substantiate
similar charge's against some other individuals implicated in the
transactions of Monday s.norning, the 27th of January. Mt.
Clarkson, of Bradford, was specially retained on behalf of sono
of the prisoners at York.— Yorkahireman.

CORN EXCHANGE. •
This week's arrivals of Grain have been tolerably good, and
of Flour considerable. The Wheat trade firm at Monday's
prices. Barley met a heavy sale, and middling quotations
were rather lower. Beans, Peas, and Oats as last quoted,
with a fair demand. The Flour trade shows no inttication of
improvement.

SMITHFIELD.
A short supply, and a brisk trade, but little variation in
prices, the priinest Scots and old Downs being freely taken off
at a slight advance. Veal and Pork steady at Monday's cur-
rency. Beef, 3s. 4d., 4s. Bd., and ss. ; Mutton, 4s. 2d. to

TALLOW MARKET.
The market quiet, at 5I s. for P. Y. C.
TEA SALE—FIFTH DAY.
The only business done was small sales by needy holders to
meet prompts. The bulk of the trade, and all the principle
holders, are indifferent to the sale, and most of them absont.
In the real Tea trade prices continue firm, there being nothing
altered in our position and the Chinese to cause any decline.
The sales made now are nothing more than the squeezings of
the marker by the pi essure of p:ompts.
COLONIAL MARKET.
There was not much bu•inesi, the public sales not being
heavy. British Plantation Sugar—Bengal and Bahia realized
about. their previous value. But one parcel of Coffee in the
market, viz., 608 bags Ceylon, which brought firm prices for
the good sorts. Saltpetre firm, but not much in the market.
