JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND.

A dispatch was received at Lloyd's this morning, an-
nouncing that Commander Caffer, of her Majesty's steam-
sloop Scourge, had fallen in with the brigantine Lovely
Mary, Stanton, of St. John's, Newfoundland, from Water-
ford, lst of January, under jury masts, riding at anchor
about two miles to the southward of the Dants Rocks. The
Scourge brought up into the Cove of Cork.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

During last week the arrivals of English Wheat, Barley,
Malt, Oats, and Peas up to our market were on a very
limited scale; those of Beans and Flour moderate. Very
little Corn of any decsription reached us from Scotland, but
from Ireland the receipts of Oats were considerably on the
increase, though, comparatively speaking, trifling. The
im-
ports of foreign Grain were small, but we had a fair arrival
of American Flour. Fresh up this morning, coastwise as
well as by land carriage and sample, the arrival of Wheat of
hone produce was very small; hence, as the supply of that
article left over from Friday was unimportant, the show of
samples was by no means adequate to meet the wants of the
dealers, whose attendance was good,especially from the county y.
We have, therefore, to report a brisk demand for all kinds,
at an advance on last Monday's quotations of from 4s to 5s
per quarter, and at which most of the parcels offering
changed hands. As was the case on this day se'nnight, there
were several orders received for English Wheat from the
northern ports, and one or two French speculators were bid-
ding high for middling qualities. However, several of them
were unexecuted. With Foreign Wheat we were scantily
supplied. Most kinds moved off readily, at is to 2a per
quarter above last Monday's prices, being the same amount
of improvement as noticed on Friday. Holders generally
were very firm. We had a short supply of Barley on show,
owing to which, and to the altsters being short of stock,
the sale was firm, at a rise in value of from Is to 2s per
quarter. At the close of the market very few parcels re-
mained unsold. For superfine Malt there was a steady sale,
at a trifle more money; but all other kinds were
a slow inquiry, at late currencies. The quan-
tity of Oats being somewhat on the increase,
the Oat trade was rather inactive ; nevertheless, all
selected parcels realised full prices without difficulty.
In Beans, the sale was slow ; but we have no alteration to
notice in the quotations One or two cargoes of Peas were
taken for Ireland. The trade was firm, and prices were well
supported. Most of the Indian Corn which arrived last
week has sold at from 66s to 72s per quarter. The Flour trade
was very firm, and prices had an upward tendency.

At least two-thirds of the above have passed direct into
the hands of the butchers. Aboat 300 head of foreign stock
have been landed at the outports from Holland. The number
of forei,..n stock on offer to-da was small, viz. :-64 Oxen
and Cows, and 220 Sheep, in fair average condition, while the
sale was inactive, and prices were not supported. With
home fed Beasts we were seasonably well supplied, both as
respects number and quality; indeed, we have not seen a
finer collection of short horns, Devons and Scots, than was
exhibited this morning. Owing to the change in the
weather, and the absence of the principal country buyers.
the Beef trade was exceedingly dull, at a decline in
the quotations obtained on Monday last of quite 2d per Sibs.
The extreme figure for the best Scots, and which was paid
in very few instances, was 4s 4d per Bibs., and a clearance
was not effected. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire consisted of 1,100 Short horns and
Scots, from the Northern Counties, 800 Short horns--froml
the western and midland districts, 600 Herefords,:-ROA,
Devons, &c., from other parts of England, 400 .-of iariatuir
breeds; and from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Scots:
With Sheep, we were very scantily sumlied, and the quality
of that description of stock was by nomeans first rate. All
kinds moved off slowly, and last ykeeVs prices were with
difficulty supported. The numbef ()Waives was small ; yet
the Veal trade was in a very..shigkish state, at an abate-
ment in value of 2d per 81b3. ',ln—Pigs, comparatively little
business was transacted, atlate rates.
