An inhabitant at Stornaway, has addressed a letter
to Mr. Dobson, Secretary to Lloyd's, calling attention to
the unrequited services of the inhabitants of the Island
of St. Kilda, one of the western islands, in cases
where they had rendered important assistance and
humane attention, to the crews of several shipwrecked
vessels. The writer also alludes to the probably destitute
state of the people, owing to there being no communica-
tion with the island except once a year.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) ,

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The arrivals of all articles of home produce for our
market last week, coastwise as well as by land carriage,
and samples, were on a very limited scale; while from
Ireland and Scotland very little grain of any description
came to hand. The imports of Foreign Wheat and
Flour were comparatively small, but those of Barley,
Oats, and Beans, were tolerably good. From Essex and -
Kent a moderate quantity of Wheat came fresh to hand, .
but from the various other counties the receipts of that
description of grain were trifling. On the whole,
the stands were fairly suppled with samples of
both red and white, yet the demand, owing to
the large attendance of London buyers (most
of whom were very short of stock), and the provincial
markets coming higher, was somewhat active, and *
good clearance was effected, at an advance in the curren-
cies obtained on Monday last of from is to fully 2s ler
quarter, and at which the market closed firmly. With f
Foreign Wheat we were by no means heavily supplied.
Although there was no inquiry for export, the trade -
must be considered firm, at a rise in value of fully is -
per quarter. At that amount of improvement, about. -
3,500 quarters changed bands. The quantity of
English Barley brought forward was trifling ; that
of Foreign by no means large. All kinds
were in steady request, at an improvement •
of Is to, in some few instances, 2s per quarter, and at
which a good clearance was effected. The quantity of
Malt brought forward was trifling. Superfine White •
parcels were held at Is per quarter more money. In
the value of other kinds we can notice no improvement'
with a fair demand. The supply of Oats, even including
the foreign arrivals of last week, was by no means
adequate to meet the wants of the dealers ; how-
ever, the trade was firm, at 6d to is per
quarter above last Monday's prices. The sale
for Beans was steady, and a few parcels changed
hands at is per quarter more money. In t.is a mode-
rate
business was transacted, at full prices. ndian corn
was steady, at late rates. The Flour tra. was steady,
but we can notice no improvement in value.

For the time of year the imports of live stock int°
London continue on a very moderate scale, those since
this day se'unight having been composed of only 22L_:
Oxen and Cows, 121 Sheep, and 31 Calves, from Holiest'
and Germany. These small importations are generally
attributed to the comparatively high prices of stock nnsf
ruling on the continent, and which leave,notwithstandiq
the operation of our import laws, an unusually small
margin of profit to the shippers. At Hull and the various
other outports the arrivals have consisted of about 400
head, chit fly of beasts. There were on offer to-day
about 200 Beasts, 120 Sheep, and 19 Calves from
abroad,
the whole of which moved off slowly on somewhat
easier terms. From our own grazing districts, the arri-
vals of Beasts fresh up this morning were unusually
large; indeed, it was one of the largest supplies on offer
at this season for many years past. As to the general
quality of the droves, we may observe that, compara-
tively speaking, it was very good, most of the animals
carrying a large quantity of internal fat, especial
those from Norfolk and Scotland. Notwithstanding the
attt ndance of buyers was large, the Beef trade, owing
to the immense !nimbler of Beasts 'on show, and the
change in the weather, was excessively dull, at a de-
cline on last week's prices of quite 2d per Sibs*
the highest quotations for the best Scots' not exceeding
4s 2d per 81bs. At the close of business a large number
of Beasts left the market unsold. The arrivals front
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire consiste.
of 1,400 Scots, Homebreds, and Short-horns ; from the
northern, western, and midland districts, 1,100 Ilerefordel
Runts, Devons, and Short-horns ; from other parts of
England, 800 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 26'
Horned and Polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were
considerably on the increase, and of very excellent quo
lity. The primest old Downs, which were rather scan
moved off slowly, at last week's prices, viz., from 4s 1
to 5s 6d per 81b3 ; but all other breeds were very dull,
and quite 2d per 81bs lower than on this day se'imigh4
with a heavy inquiry. With Lambs we were scantil
supplied, yet the Lamb trade was in a very. depressed
state, at a fall in value of 4d per Sibs, the highest fignr,
not exceeding 6s per 81bs. Calves were in short supply
and heavy demand, at Friday's quotations. In rif,
s
very little was doing, and the rates had 'a downwam
tendency. _
