Wool.:

Since this day se'nnight the imports of Foreign Woo! have
been small, viz., about 800 bags and bales. Although the
stocks of the article in warehouse are smaller than for some
years paqt, the demand is heavy, at barely late rates. Eng-
lish Wools are tolerably firm, but not dearer.
TALLOW.
A very inactive demand has been experienced for P. T. C.
on the spot, and prices are quite 3d per cwt. lower than on
Monday last. For forward delivery next to nothing is doing.
Town Tallow, the supply of which is good, is in moderate
request, at 49s 6d to 503 3d net cash.

perjury at

Ilford Gaol, where he now remains.
EAST SOMERSET ELECTION.—The High Sheriff'
Mr. John Matthew Quantock, has, in consequence of the_
county assizes, altered the day originally intended for th•
nomination, and has issued his proclamation fixing SaturdaYi
the 10th of April, for that purpose. No candidate has MY?

appeared in opposition to the return of Mr. Pinney, and it
the general impression that he will be allowed to walk over
the course, although there are still rumours that a geotlerr
in the Protectionist interest will be brought forward, en" .-r
which it is said there is still ample time. It is said, boweh;
that it is the general wish of the Conservative party in
solution of Parliament, that the county shoptrlrdoanotht °beg' ttl
present state of public affairs, and the near a:
turbed by a contest at the present time.
