THE SUN, LOWD ON, MONDAY

Cambridge, where his Lordship will remain during
the installation of his Royal Highness Prince ALBERT.

A Court pageantry was wont to fascinate the
rabble by its magnificence. The lieges stood a-gape
with admiration at the twmpeters in cloth-of-gold,
the beef-eaters in rose-garlands, and the yeomen
clad in steel and leather by the ingenuity of the
armourer. Little of the homage formerly paid to the
gauds of royalty survives. The prestige of heraldic
emblazonry is almost forgotten. Even Mr. DYMOCH
himself, the hereditary Champion of England, would
excite little more reverence in the multitude than the
brass knight in the Lord Mayor's procession, though
he were mounted on the back of Bucephalus and
cased in the mail of SALADIN. Homelier sentiments
have become diffused among the populace than those
which animated the lieges of a feudatorial
sovereignty. So earnest indeed has been the re-
action, that a species of opprobrium has been attached
to that external grandeur which was rendered un-
palatable from its association with the cruelties and
oppressions of an exploded system. The crimes of our
former rulers have imparted almost as much odium to
the gorgeous ceremonials by which those rulers were
dier accompanied as did the dilemmas of the
melancholy gentleman of La Mancha to the forms
and proprieties of knight-errantry. It would be well,
however, for the multitude to reflect upon all such
occasions as elicit anything like a revival of the pomps
of regality, not so much upon the utility or decorum
of those pomps, as upon the circumstances of which
they are merely the celebration, and of the purposes
which they are intended to commemorate.
Whatever may be said in depreciation of the ap-
proaching ceremonies at Cambridge, it is certain that
the event of which they will only be the accompani-
ment is one of no trivial importance, not merely to
the several divisions of that University, but to the
interests of the general community, and to the pro-
gress of our insular civilisation. Whether much
advantage can possibly result to any one man in the
empire by the pindaric throes and inane strophes of
MT. WILLIAM WORDSWORTH—written, be it ob-
served, as a sort of compensation for the legendary
butt of malmsey, and as a vindication of his titular
dignity as Poet Laureate—whether, we repeat, much
advantage can possibly result from the feeble song of
jubilation chanted from Rydal Mount, it would
require probably the discernment of a DA-
CIER to determine. But the superficial ob-
server
will recognise in the installation of his
Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT, as Chancellor of
the University of Cambridge, a token of that bro-
therhood in knowledge which promises in effect to
regenerate the whole family of man. A spectacle
more suggestive of the meaning and tendencies of
this generation could hardly be conceived than the
one which will have adorned the sedgy banks of the
Cam during the Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
of the present week. We cannot regard the nomi-
nation of the Prince Consort—a Prince respected for
his versatile accomplishments and loved for his distin-
guished amenity—as a merely hollow compliment to
his Royal Highness as the husband of VICTORIA. By
that selection more—immeasurably more—has been
effected than the presentation of a formal token of
loyalty; a new bond has bound together the sympa-
thies of the QUEEN and the People. As searchers
among the divine mysteries of knowledge, royalty
and democracy henceforth go hand in hand; as fel-
low-scholars in philosophy they muse together under
the porch; as brother labourers in the mines of eru-
dition they are intimately associated. A latent good
is indicated in the pageantry of this interesting in-
stallation, not so much by the ardour with which it is
prepared—significant as that is—as by its manifest
influence upon the minds of the apparently un-
interested. While the public attention is so
much engrossed by an accumulation of unusual
embarrassments, and the advent of a dissolu-
tion of Parliament, the installation of the
Chancellor attracts an extraordinary amount of
observation throughout the United Kingdom. This,
moreover, because the ceremony is not only one of
local, but one also of national interest.

The Prince ALBERT is now connected officially
with one of the most venerable of our Universities.
At a period when the cause of Education is engaging
so much of the curiosity of the multitude, of the
scrutiny of Parliament, and of the providence of the
Government, his Royal Highness is brought into im-
mediate communication with one of the most plente-
ous and one of the least exhaustible of the fountains of
knowledge. Everything, either directly or inferen-
tially, tends to fix upon the popular mind the supreme
importance of a more facile diffusion of the blessings
of secular education. Everything combines to hold
this up to the popular observation, at the ensuing
elections, as a paramount theme for discussion in the
selection of the candidates. Unless precautions there-
fore be taken for the due estimation of this matter by
the possessors of the franchise, they will have to
bewail, perhaps, during seven years the foolishness
which had induced them to be lukewarm
in the promotion of a cause in which
the ignorance, and consequently the happiness
and sobriety, of the indigent millions are so inextri-
cably concerned. If another spur be administered to
the memory of the electors by the pomps of this
inauguration at Cambridge, the election of his Royal
Highness Prince ALBERT will redound doubly to the
honour of the University authorities, and will fur-
nish the people with an additional reason for regard-
ing the husband of their QUEEN with affection.

The explanation which was given by the Attorney-
General in the House of Commons on Friday night
with respect to the proceedings which took place at
Hertford on the 17th ultimo, in relation to the pro-
perty of the late JOHN TAWELL, will be received
with peculiar gratification throughout the country.
The public feeling had been painfully excited
in consequence of the apparent barbarity and
cruelty of the act--the deepest sympathy was
accorded to the unfortunate widow. It was con-
ceived that the wound which had in some respects
closed, by the healing influences of time, had been
most heartlessly torn open ; that she bad been prac-
tically punished for a crime of which she was wholly
innocent, by being deprived of the property to which
she would otherwise have been entitled, and her own
production as a witness, in order that the link in the
chain of evidence, to deprive her of her property,
rdight be supplied by her own testimony, increased
the general indignation. The statement of the At-
torney-General has fully and completely exonerated
the Government from every imputation of harshness
or oppression in the case in question. It has proved
that they acted with the humanity and equity which
England would expect from the Ministers of her
choice, but it has placed in the strongest light the
absurdity and injustice of the code which is still per-
mitted to remain a stain and a disgrace to our
statutes. The most eloquent denunciation that
could be hurled against the system by its most
strenuous opponent could not exhibit its impropriety
in a stronger light than the uniform practice of the
Crown in relinquishing the rights to which it be-
comes entitled, in waiving the forfeitures that may
from time to time accrue. If its claims were of such
a nature that their enforcement could be justified,
then there would be a culpable abandonment by the
advisers of the Crown of the rights and privileges
they were bound to maintain and preserve; but such
is not the case, they are well aware that a rigid adhe-
rence to such obsolete and iniquitous enactments

opinion, the inva•
in favour of the
immediate relatives and
next of
not killed," it retains all its vitality,
wheny its results malefactor. But " the snake '
anisdkmina of the
scotched,lt
as t
mayany
time start into life and activity,
be more than usually oppressive.

The Attorney-General tells us, " that on convic-
tion of any person for felony, the property
petition
from convict belongs to the Crown ; that the practice,
however, had uniformly been to grant, on
from the relatives of the convict, an inquiry, and to
give the property to those relatives; that in this par-
ticular case a memorial was presented by Mrs.
TAWELL to the Treasury, praying the Crown to
make inquiry, and to order that the property of her
late husband should be bestowed upon her; that the
inquest had taken place, in accordance with that me-
morial, and that the property, instead of being re-
tained by the Crown, would be sold for her benefit."

We accord to this statement of the Honourable and
Learned Gentleman the fullest credence ; but why is
the law retained, Vele uniform practice is not to en-
force it? We respect the law officers of the Crown
too much to suppose that they can in any manner be
influenced bytothe fees and perquisites to which, in
right of their office, they are entitled on every such
inquisition. Except in the case of wealthy cri-
minals, few can benefit by the favourable
consideration of their request by the Executive.
Every expense connected with the investigation, from
the fees to the law, officers, for the report on the
original memorial in the first instance, to the bill of
costs of the Solicitor for the Treasury, and the pay-
ments to commissioners, jurors, and witnesses, must
be defrayed out of the property in the first instance,
before any portion of the residue can be distributed
to the claimants. Here, then, is a heavy and a
perfectly needless outlay, which acts as a total pro-
hibition to any of the humbler and less wealthy
classes. It would not be worth the while of the widow
or orphans of a felon, whose property amounted to
the value of a few hundreds only, although
its possession might save them from want and misery ;
the whole would be absorbed in the cost of the in-
quiry, and nothing would remain to save them from
poverty and destitution. There are amply sufficient
grounds for urging the repeal of the law under pre-
sent circumstances, but the possible use which may
be made of it vastly increases the necessity. While
the cuuntry is blessed with a constitutional Govern-
ment there would be little danger of any abuse of
the power, but there have been corrupt ministers in
bygone days, and possibly such may again arise
on some future occasion. Political disturbances
have occurred, and many who were comparatively
blameless were deprived of their properties, and
driven forth into exile and poverty, while the minions
of the prevailing faction rioted in the possession of
the estates wrested from the rightful owners for too
rigid an adherence to honour and principle. How
many families were reduced from wealth and affluence
to distress and penury for an unceasing devotion to
the rights of CHARLES 11. during the time of the
Commonwealth, who were unable to obtain restitution
after the Restoration ! Scenes similar to these which
have formerly taken place may possibly be re-enacted,
and the only safeguard that can be extended to the
people, the only shield that can guard against the
possibility of their recurrence, is the total abolition
of the law relating to escheats and forfeitures, and the
corruption of the blood of a malefactor.

Constantinople letters, of the 17th, state that a
treaty of peace between Persia and Turkey has been
definitively concluded. It was reported at Salencia,
tat the 9th, that an Albanian had revolted against the
Turkish Government. His force consisted of 800
men. There is every prospect of a plentiful harvest
in Turkey.

Letters from Alessandria, of the 27th ult., announce
that the differences existing between the Austrian
Government and the King of SARDINIA had been
arranged by mutual concessions—the Austrian Go•
verntnent having considerably reduced the duty levied
on the wines of Sardinia when entering the Austrian
dominions, and the King of SARDINIA having pro
mised on his part to discountenance the march of
Liberal opinions in Piedmont. As a first step towards
this course of policy, the newspapers lately established
in Tuscany had been prohibited in Piedmont. The
consequence of this change of system on the part of
the King of SARDINIA was the resignation of his
chief Minister, Senor VILLA MARINA.

Madrid papers of the 27th and 28th ult. have
arrived.

It is said that a decree will shortly be issued sup-
pressing all custom-houses in the interior of the
kingdom.

Aband of Carlists had been defeated by the QUEEN'S
troops at Guerault, in Catalonia, and two of the Carlist
chiefs killed. The province of Burgos, in conse-
quence of the appearance of the Carlist band of EL
ESTUDIENTE, is to be declared in a state of siege.

Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA has, it is said, fallen
into disgrace with the QUEEN. During her late rides
her MAJESTY has not been-accompanied as usual by
her uncle or her cousin.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The Constitutionnel of Friday contains the follow-
ing on the intelligence recently received from Al-
geria :

" The Moniteur Algerien has published an important
and untoward piece of intelligence. An engagement
appears to 'have taken-place between the Emir Abd-el-
Kader and the Emperor of Morocco. It is stated that
Abd-el-Kader has obtained a great advantage. The
following details—exaggerated, perhaps,—have been
sent us through Spain. Whilst Abd-el-Kader, who had
taken refuge in Morocco, was endeavouring to obtain
peace from France, and had even implored the media-
tion of the Spanish Government, Abderrhaman received
information that the Emir intended turning his forces
against him, and endeavour to hurl him from the throne.
The Emperor then resolved to rid himself of so formid
able a guest. lle took advantage of the circumstance of
the collection of the contributions of the Riff by a small
body of troops sent there for that purpose, to order the
Kaid El Amar, the chief of that expedition, to carry off
Abd-el-Kader. This latter chief was then at the head
of 500 horsemen and 200 foot soldiers. On June 14
the Moorish troops attempted to execute the order
of the Emperor, but they were vigorously forced
back by the Emir's troops, after having experienced a
loss of 70 horses. The next day El Amar returned to
the charge, but the Moroccomen were again worsted,
and on the following night their camp was attacked,
taken, and pillaged by Abd el-Bader, who cut off the
head of the kaid, taken prisoner in the combat. It is
notorious how much the intelligence of the Arabs is to
be distrusted, and the present news requires confirma-
tion. If they are exact, Abd-el-Kader is now in posses
mon of the Riff, that is, the vast province of Morocco
which bounds our frontiers; he can receive freely by
sea the succours of various Kinds, which will certainly
be sent him, and his reputation has increased in the em
pire of Morocco. It is seen what are the fruits cf the treaty
of Tangiers, so ill• conceived, and so badly executed. It
appears thatibd-el-Kader announces thefirmest intention
to remain at peace with France, in order to destroy more
freely Abderrhaman, who inspires his subjects with nei-
ther respect, fear, nor confidence. As to our Govern-
ment, it appears to intend remaining on the defensive,
and to deliver up the Moorish Emperor to the chances
of the struggle in which he is engaged. The Moniteur
Algerien limits itself to saying that all is foreseen to
prevent the effect of the blow being felt in the province
of Oran.'"

The Presse states that the Ministry has caused to
be published in several provincial journals a letter,
signed " E. DE GIRARDIN," to the effect that, as the
writer did not choose to remain under the stigma
which was cast upon him by the veto of the Chamber
of Deputies, of being a calumniator, he should appeal
to his constituents by resigning his seat. M. Eamz
DE GIRARDIN denounces this letter as a forgery, and
claims for himself the victory in his contest with the
Ministry.
" Two means," says the Presse, " were open to the
Government if it wished to make known the truth, and
the whole truth, and it had its choice of them. It might
either have ordered an inquiry, or have brought M. de
Girardin before a jury. To the members of the ma
jority, who wished that the truth should be exposed, M.
de Girardin proposed an inquiry; to the Ministers, who
denied what the Deputy for Bourganeuf persisted in
affirming, M. de Girardin offered that he should be
brought to trial before a jury. The majority did not
choose the inquiry; the Ministers would not have a jury.
M. de Girardin had nothing further to do, and the pre-
tended letter to the President is but a pendant to the
impudent account sent to the Ministerial journals, and
in which M. de Girardin was made to say precisely the
contrary to what he really said; but the Ministry dc•
ceives itself strangely if it thinks that it will raise itself
in public opinion by such base manoeuvres as these."

The Presse recapitulates the charges brought by M.
DE GIRARDIN against the Government in the following
terms :

~ I. A hundred thousand francs, given by M. Adam
to M. Granicr do Cassagnac and M. SAar, for the
privilege of a theatre. M. Adam has not contradicted
this fact.
" 2. The memoir or pamphlet of Baron Lambert pur-
chased for 30,000 f. Baron Lambart has not contradicted
this fact.
" 3. One million two hundred thousand franc.; de-
manded from the maitres de post for the presentation and
passing of a Bill to indemnity them. The mitres de post
to whom the offcr was made, namely, MM. liailly,
Duclos, Faucher, and L.Obe, have not contradicted this
fact.
" 4. A cross of the Legion of Honour given to an un-
certificated bankrupt. This has not been denied.
~0`.5- A subvention of 5,000 francs a month to the
(-ii be newspaper. It being impossible to deny this fact,
which was judicially
th the nporn(c) proved,
,a, stransformed n
explain it, by saying that a deceased Deputy, M. tilermilliod, who for w
into
maadreictho
Conse • rvative, was the generous donor. Butwas
it
proved that M. Mermill' d 10 never gave but 600 francs,
and that that was in payment of five shares in the paper
of 120 franca each, , and which F,ave him a right to five

copies of the parer for three years. The fact is there-
f.)re not contradicted.

"G. Nothing for noth:i;g, the offensi ie condition made
on the nomin4tion of :4. peer. 'Pie Ictt.-: to the
written on the 25th of Jauarv, 1846, and signal by a
general officer, has not been contradicted.
"7. The promise of a peerage made on condition of
paying to a newspapor the sum of 80,000 francs.
This is the only f,:ct, we admit, which has no evi-
dence in its favour but the reiterated affirmatiou of M.
de Girardin."

M. DE GIRARDIN dares the Government to in-
stitute an inquiry into the truth of the charges, or to
bring him to trial for the calumny.
In the Chamber of Peers on Saturday the petition
of the Spanish bondholders was ordered to be
referred to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This is
considered as an indication that it is the intention of
the Government to interfere in behalf of the foreign
creditors of the Spanish Government. In the
Chamber of Deputies the Ministry consented that
the petition of Prince JEROME BONAPARTE, ex-King
of Westphalia, should he referred to the President of
the Council and the Council of Ministers. The Mi-
nister of Public Works, in consenting to this refe-
rence, intimated that the Government had no objec-
tion to the return to France of the last surviving
brother of the EMPEROR.

M. MALAIGNE, the Opposition candidate, has been
elected for the 4th arrondissment of Paris. The
numbers were—

Majority --198

The amendmetA of M. LEON FAUCHER for increas-
ing the grant to the railroads, was negatived by the
Chamber of Deputies on Saturday.
The Government has just published the official
returns of the commerce of France for 1846. The
foreign trade amounted to 2 milliards 436 millions
of francs, of which 1 milliard 258 millions were
imports, and 1 milliard 178 millions exports, being
9 millions mors than in 1845.

NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.
SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 5

The Jupiter arrived from the Peninsular this morn-
ing. She brings news from Lisbon down to the 291-1
nit. Saldanha occupied Villa Nova ;it was preceded
by a skirmish, in which each side lost an officer and
four or five men. No attack had bee❑ made on
Oporto ; the force within the town exce“le.l 12,000
men. Provisions in great quantities had been brought
in. The insurgent troops in every part, except
Oporto, were dispen,ing. The Spanish troops had
not advanced upon Oporto. Marquis Loule was sent
to the British squadron by the Junta to make an offer
of surrender, on condition that Oporto should be first
taken possession of by the Spaniards, and it was
thought the English admiral would agree to these
terms ; and the Spaniards would, it was expected,
enter Oporto in a few days. The Jupiter left Oporto
on the 30th.—Herald.

OF THE

UNI V _ERSITY.I

ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT
CAMBRIDGE.

(THIS DAY BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
CAMBRIDGE, Two o'CLocx,
The brilliant festivities in honour of the installation of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert as Chancellor of the
University, have at length commenced. The weather is
glorious, and the town is crowded to excess.
Her Majesty and her illustrious Consort reached the
station at eight minutes before one, the distance, 50
miles from Tottenham, having been accomplished in
one hour and twenty-two minutes.
The royal party was received at the Tottenham
station by the Lord Mayor of York (Mr. Hudson), the
chairman of the Eastern Counties Railway Company,
Mr. Waddington, the deputy chairman, Mr. Sheriff
Kinnard, Mr. Gibbs, director, Mr. C. P. Roney, the re-
spected secretary, and Mr. Samuels, the resident en-
gineer, and on alighting was conducted by those gentle-
men to the special train in attendance, consisting of a
superb state saloon carriage and three others.
Her Majesty and the Prince travelled to Tottenham
in an open landau, escorted by a detachment of Lancers,
and on entering the station-yard of the railway appeared
delighted at the preparations that had been made for her
reception. Tht re. acre upwards of 200 flags floating
from various parts of the station, and a beautifully con-
structed triumphal arch at the entrance, near Tottenham
Hall. A large number of the gentry and clergy, aiLh
their ladies, crowded the railway green, and a troop of
the West Essex Yeomanry, under the command of Cap-
tain Palmer, acted as a guard of honour. On the engine
which convey( d the royal train was Mr. Waddinz,ton,
the deputy chairman. A pilot engine (christened Jenny
Lind) went in advance of the train, ar.d another in the
rear. All the stations along Cie line were loaded with
people, who gave her Majesty a most hearty welcome
as the royal train passed through.
About an hour before her Majesty reached Cambridge,
his Grace the Duke of Wellingt in arrived in a special
train, which also contained his Royal Highness Prince
‘Valdemax of Prussia, his Excellency the Prussian
Minister Chevalier Bunsen, his Highness Prince of
Oldenburg, the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, the
Bishop of Norwich, and ninny other distinguished per-
sons. The latter were accommodated with one of the
splendid saloon carriages, the Duke riding in his own
private carriage. lie appeared in excellent health.
The Corporation of Cambridge received her Majesty
at the station in their robes of office: The royal car-
riages being in waiting, the gieen immediately pro-
ceeded to Trinity College, escorted by a party of Life
Guards.

Sir Robert and Lady Peel have since arrived.

MURDER OF A POLICEMAN.—BATII, SATURDAY
EvENING.—At the Police-court at Chandos House, yes-
terday, two men, named Maurice Perry and Samuel
Crawley, were committed by the county magistrates for
the wilful murder of one of the Bathampton
under circumstances of great brutality. Oa Monday
last, early in the evening, two navigators employed in
the neighbourhood on the Wilts snd Somerset Railway,
quarrelled at Bethainpwn.
and faiiing to settle it by
words, adjourned to an adjoining field to fight it out,
the prisoners and two others acting as seconds. An
organised ring was formed, and a large mob collected,
when, after a few rounds, John Bailey (the deceased),
a constable, and another officer, forced their way be-
tween the combatants and desired them to desist fighting.
The prisoners immediately pushed them back, and so
held them, the men still fighting. The constables again
attempted to interfere, when they were instantly knocked
down, the prisoners kicking them unmerclully about
the head and body, from the violent force of which
Bailey almost immediate!). died. Several witnesses
clearly identifiei the prisoners as the parties who com-
mitted the outrage. The deceased teld the m on entering
the ring that he was a police-officer, and stated that it
was his duty to suppress any disturbance. The pri-
soners, who made no defence., were conveyed to the
the ea
county gaol, on pi:al charge. A verdict of " Wil-
ful Murder" had born returned at the Corm,er's irquest,.
which was held on Friday. The deceased conetable has
left a widow and family to dtTiore hip lose

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The marl.[‘t for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday was
w:t'nuoz. ~.tit,vatio;. in prices, exeep, for Egyptian, which
were. :H. lower. Sales about 5,000 bales, of
which 1,600 American were on speculation. The sales
include 4,000 American at 61d. to 7V., 400 Egyptian at
7V. to 81d., and 50 Sea Islands at Is. lid. to Is. 6d.
In Railway Shares a considerable business was doing, but
at rather lower prices.
The report from the Corn Market is that wheat may
be fairly quoted 10s. per quarter lower than on this day
week. The letters received from some of the country
districts begin to throw more light too upon the ques-
tion of stocks in the hands of the farmers, who, in a cer-
tain locality, have large quantities thrashed out in their
barns, though very few stacks in their yards. The price
of meat keeps very high, and it seems that some of the
dealers expect nq alteration until about another month,
when the supplies will increase from the north. As a
question of national economy, this dearness of meat
must prove of considerable importance, because it neces-
sarily limits not only the consumption of this particular
article of food, never too easily available to the humbler
classes, but it likewise diminishes their ability to pur-
chase clothing and other articles, which are largely
inemufactared for the home trade. But for the imports '
of foreign cattle under the reduced tariff, meat we.uld
nave been scare. ly obtainable this year except by the
classes.
From the eastern frontier of the Cape of Good Hope,
advices have been received to-day, of the 27th April.
The activity of Sir Henry Pottinger in the exercise of
his new functions as Governor was still very apparent,
and Sir Andrew Stockenstrom was about to co-operate
by commanding the Dutch farmers who might be willing

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Last week's arrivals of all kinds of grain of home
produce were on a very limited scale, but those of flour,
though small, were somewhat on the increase. From
Ireland and Scotland scarcely any grain came to hand;
but the imports of foreign corn were immense—they
having amounted to not less than 68,000 quarters of
Wheat, 9,558 quarters of Barley, 53,188 quarters of
Oats, 14,676 quarters of Beans, 9,565 barrels and 4,210
sacks of Flour, being one of the largest arrivals on
record. Fresh up this morning the receipts of Wheat
of home produce, coastwise as well as by land carriage
and sample, were on a very moderate scale; yet the show
of parcels was larger than those exhibited on this day
se'nnight. Owing to the immense importations of foreign
corn, most of which are being placed in warehouse, the
splendid weather for the growing crops (the accounts
respecting which are very favourable), and the thin at-
tendance of buyers from all quarters, the trade with all
kinds of English Wheat was excessively heavy, AT A
DECLINE IN THE QUOTATIONS OBTAINED ON MONDAY
LAST, OF FROM EIGHT, TO, IN SOME INSTANCES, TEN
srmuscs PER QUARTER, and at which a clearance
was not effected. At the close of the market several
i parcels n hulk remained over for Wednesday. There
was a very large quantity of Foreign Wheat on show ;
hence the s'ile was excessively depressed, and THE
RATES DECLINED FROM SIX SHILLINGS, TO, IN SOME
CASES, TEN SHILLINGS PER QUARTER, and at which
t. temillers were by no means anxious buyers.
Since the returns were made up on Saturday, about
seven thousand additional quarters have come in.
Scarcely any English Barley was on sale; but the sup-
fly of foretgn was larger. All descriptions were very
fromdull, and fro s to 2s per quarter beneath last week's
figures. The Supply of Malt was tolerably good, while
the sale for all kinds was extremely inactive, and the
immense
imports declined from 11 to 2s per quarter. The
imports of Foreign Oats noticed above produced great
heaviness in the o.tt trade, and where sales were effected,
the prices receded from 2s to 3s per quarter. For Beans
we had a very dull sale, at 2s to 3s per quarter less
money. Scarcely a transaction took place in Peas, the
rates of which were 2s per quarter cheaper. Indian
Corn was a mere drug, and might have been purchased
at a reduction of 4s to 5s per quarter. The Flour trade
was very dull. Tvwn-made and country qualities fell
