ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY.

Her Majesty did not disappoint her anxious sub-
jects at Fleetwood a third time, but arrived safely in
the harbour at dusk on Monday evening. From
Captain Crispin, of the royal yacht, we learned that
the royal party reached Campbelton on Saturday,
where they passed the second night. On Sunday
morning they went on board the royal squadron and
steamed across into Loch Ryan, where her Majesty
Prince Albert, and the royal children attended Divine
service, which was performed on board. They then
went on board the royal yacht, and the squadron
again weighed and proceeded as far as East Tarbert,
under the Mull of Galloway, where anchors were
dropped for the night. On Monday anchors were
weighed at five in the morning, and the royal
squadron sailed for the Isle of Man, and entered the
bay of Ramsay at nine o'clock. Here Prince Albert
went ashore and remained there viewing the town
and other objects worthy of notice for about three or
four hours. The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of
Sodor and Man went on board the royal yacht to pay
his respects to het- Majesty, and was most graciously
received. The royal squadron left the bay at two
o'clock in the afternoon, and then ran down to the
outside of the bar off Fleetwood, where, after waiting
a short time till the tide served, they made the port,
and entered it as the evening was closing in, amidst
the shouts of thousands of people who lined the
beach, and pier, and terraces of the town.
The Victoria and Albert yacht, with her Majesty
and the Royal Family on board, first entered (about
half-past seven o'clock), and was closely followed by
the Black Eagle, the Fairy yacht, and the Garland.
The Undine and the Scourge brought up the rear.
In mooring the several vessels an awkward accident
occurred. The Scourge, not being left sufficient sea-
way, unfortunately came in collision with the Vic-
toria and Albert yacht, and carried away a portion of
the quarter gallery. The event, of necessity, some-
what disconcerted her Majesty and those on board.
The soldiers of the 69th were drawn out in mili -
tary array on the shore, and as the vessels were
moored the band played " Rule Britannia" and the
usual loyal airs. Her Majesty and Prince Albert—
as the royal yacht ran along the shore within a few
yards of the people congregated there—sat under the
glass canopy on deck, which was brilliantly lighted.
The people were thus enabled to get a good view of
the Royal Family.
As soon as the vessels were safely moored, the
High Sheriff, Sir Hesketh Fleetwood, Sir T. Arbuth-
not, General Sir W. Warre, Captain Huish, and Mr.
Houldsworth, went on board, had an interview with
Lord Palmerston, and entrusted him, for presentation
to the Queen, with a loyal address, agreed to at a
meeting of the inhabitants on that day week.
The railway authorities explained to Lord Pal-
merston the arrangements which they had made for
the conveyance of the Queen to London, with all of
which he expressed satisfaction. The time for start-
ing was announced to be ten o'clock on the following
morning, and the local authorities retired. Shortly
after, her Majesty's dispatches were sent on board,
and the Queen and Prince Albert were seen reading
the letters. The royal children were playing around
them. About eleven o'clock, it being a fine moon-
light night, and the crowds of people having left the
shore, her Majesty and Royal Consort landed on the
lowered pier, which had been transformed into an
elegant saloon, and promenaded it for a considerable
time, enjoying the glimpses which it afforded them
of the principal buildings of the town, including the
terraces fronting the harbour, the North Euston
Hotel, and the beautiful lighthouses. No accurate
idea can be formed, perhaps of the number of people
who had come to Fleetwood during the week ; but
on Monday alone between 5,000 and 6,000 passengers
had been conveyed there by the Fleetwood and Wyre
Railway.
Yesterday morning people were stirring betimes to
see the royal debarkation, which was fixed to take
place at ten o'clock, and thousands of people were
again added to those already in the town, in time to
be partakers in the pleasures of the spectacle. Only
a select circle of friends were admitted into the saloon
on the landing pier, at right angles to which a covered
way or corridor had been erected, leading to the rail-
way, which is behind the pier and parallel to it. The
royal carriage was placed at the end of this corridor,
and stood there attached to the other carriages form-
ing the train for upwards of an hour before the time
of starting. The sides of the saloon and corridor
were open, so that the people outside, and who had
been admitted in thousands to the area between the
carriages and the saloon, were enabled to get a sight
of her Majesty as she passed along the spacious
saloon from the east end to the corridor at the north
end, and from thence along the corridor to the railway-
train, a distance of about 250 feet. The company in
the saloon included a great number of elegantly-
dressed ladies, for whose accommodation a gallery had
been erected at the north end. At a quarter to ten
the signal was given on board the royal
squadron to man the yards, and almost at
ten precisely the Queen, escorted by Prince
Albert, leading the royal children by the hand,
ascended the gangway, and stepped ashore into
the saloon, where they were received by W. Gale,
Esq., High Sheriff of the county, and the Rev. St.
Vincent Beedey, incumbent of Fleetwood, and con-
ducted to the railway train. Her Majesty was look-
ing exceedingly well, and smiled repeatedly as she
passed along the saloon and corridor, when greeted
with the loud cheers of the people. The directors
of the Lancashire and Yorkshire and Preston and
Wyre Railway, with Mr. Houldsworth, Mr. Higgin,
and Mr. George Wilson, their chairman and deputy-
chairman, received her Majesty at the railway. Our
correspondent was informed that her Majesty ex-
pressed her thanks to them, through Lord Adolphus
Fitzclarence, on entering the royal carriage, for the
attention paid to her comfort, and was pleased to say
that the arrangements were of the most complete and
satisfactory character she had met with at any of the
different ports where she had landed during her trip.
Her Majesty, after entering the royal carriage, stood
up for some moments to gaze upon the assemblage,
and repeatedly bowed in acknowledgment of the
cheers from every side. A new and powerful engine
belonging to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Com-
pany was attached to the royal train, and it left
the pier at about ten minutes past ten, driven by Mr.
Hawkshaw, principal engineer of the Manchester
and Yorkshire Company, amidst renewed cheering.
It was understood that this engine would take the
royal train on as far as Preston, where the Albert, a
London and North-Western engine, under the su-
perintendence of Captain Huish, would take it forward
to London.
Her Majesty arrived at the terminus of the London
and North- Western Railway in Euston-square exactly ,
at 25 minutes before six o'clock.
Her Majesty and the Prince were received at the
station by Mr. Creed, the secretary, and several direc-
tors of the company, and immediately afterwards
entered one of the royal carriages and proceeded to
Buckingham Palace, escorted by a detachment of the
12th regiment of Lancers, under the command of
Lieut. Mansell.

The royal suite followed in four other of the royal
carriages, each drawn by four horses.
As the royal cortege passed through the gates of the
station, her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort, who
appeared in excellent health and spirits, were loudly
cheered by the crowd which had assembled to witness
their arrival. _ _

Her Majesty and the Court leave town to-day for
Osborne House, Isle of Wight. The royal party will
be conveyed across the Solent by either the Lightning
or the Fire Queen.
Captain Denham, who may truly be said to be the
" author" of the port of Fleetwood, published the
following brief account of the locality, &c., in 1840,
by which it will be seen that Port Fleetwood can
be entered safely by any squadron by night as well
as day :
" The commission constituting Port Fleetwood, the
Act of Parliament consolidating its harbour, railway,
and dock interests; the sub-commission of pilotage;
the completion and opening of its custom-house,
bonding warehouses, and yards; the erection of its
first lighthouse, the plans for immediate and progres-
sive harbour improvements, and the fixing.of time
(July, 1840), for opening its railway connexion with
Preston, all bearing the very recent date of 1839, sug-
gests the propriety of offering some account of it, in
anticipation of the natural question of Where is this
said new port ?' To the mariner it will be enough to
reply—why it is your old acquaintance Wyre Har-
bour. But to the general inquirer, a few particulars
may be acceptable respecting its locality, relative
position with other ports on the western coast of
England and the Irish Channel, its present capacity,
capabilities, railway connexion with the manufac-
turing districts, and prospects in reference to the
statistical data.

" The river Wyre first assumes a river character
near Bleasdale Forest, in Lancashire, and after cross-
ing the line of road between Preston and Lancaster,
at Garstang, descends, as a tortuous stream, for five
miles westward; then, in another five-mile reach, of
one-third of a mile wide, north-westward, sweeping
the bight of Skippool, near Poulton-le-Fylde, on its
way, and bursting forth from the Narrows at Ward-
less, upon a north trend, into the tidal estuary, which
embraces an area of three miles by two, producing a
combined reflux of back water, equal to 50,000,000
cubic yards, and dipping with such powerful under

scour during the first half-ebb, as to preserve a na-
tural bason just within its coast-line orifice, capable
of riding ships of fifteen to twenty feet draft at low
water spring tides, perfectly sheltered from all winds,
and within a cable's length of the railway terminus,
nineteen miles from Preston, and in connexion with
Manchester, Lancaster, Liverpool, and London. It
is on the western margin of this natural dock that
the town, wharfs, warehouses, and docks are rising
into notice, under the privileges of a distinct port,
and abreast of which the shores aptly narrow tne
back-water escape into a bottle-neck straight of
but one-sixth the width of the estuary, so impelling
it down a two-mile channel, as scarcely to permit dimi-
nishment of its three and four-mile velocity until
actually blended with the cross-set of the Lune and
Morecambe Bay ebb waters. Thus the original
short course of Wyre, to open sea, is freed from the
usual river deposit, its silting matter being kept
suspension until transferred and hurried forth at right
angles by the ocean stream. It is, therefore, the
peculiar feature and fortune of Wyre that, instead of
a bar intervening between its bed or exit trough and
open sea, a precipitous river shelf, equal to a fall of
forty-seven feet in one-third of a mile, the permanency
of which is not only promised upon theits
tidal ofts
tidal action and tenacious nature of its manly margin
and trough, but by reference to the recorded state of
Wyre Water and ancient charted feature. Hitherto,
however, the powerful self-clearing course of this
seaward arm of Wyre has been left to nature's simple
purpose, a vent or trough for mountain streams and
valley scour, swollen in disgorge by tidal rise of
thirty feet ; upon the lift of which, however,: many
a timber and flax-laden ship has been borne
to the realising of opulence,,.well remembered
and testified at this day muongst the manu-
turers of canvass an I cordage, who followed
up the demand at Liverpool. But to avail of the
general powers and capabilities of this haven and
estuary needed only to be mooted to be determined
upon. Its locality, its relative position, and the
conviction from statistical results, gave life to a rail-
way connexion ; and the plans I proposed for adapt-
ing its waters to the vast commercial projects were
at once approved and confided to my carrying out.
Had the object been merely a day-light navigation
little more would be necessary than to closely buoy
off the sea-reach course of two miles, formed by na-
ture, between twenty fathoms without and twenty
feet within. But in these days, when steamers ply
across seas with as much punctuality as an inland
mail, that place which is not accessible by night as
well as day, in a tempest as well as moderate weather,
must be supinely content to be classed as only half
a port, and unworthy the national object of a refuge
to the weather-driven mariner. The essence, there-
fore, of my proposition hinged upon night inter-
course, and that, too, in as simple an operation as the
very short run deserved—viz., a light at its actual
outer and turning point of bank from sea; and then
two lights so placed in relative altitude and distance
at the inner end of the channel as to form a straight
course right up. Like all rivers, though in a much
less degree than usual, the short but natural journey
of the Wyre was not straight; a stubborn protrusion
or two here, and the more pervious margin there,
caused deflection of the current, and permitted
swatchway escapes of, to nature, superabundant
back-water. With these I grappled ; 150,000 cubical
yards of sub-marine matter, and as many reared up
into tidal embankment or check dams, require but
systematic and judicious lines of operation, in re-
ference to tidal action, to render such, now-a-days,
subservient to steam-dredging, pontooning, and tram-
ming. So satisfactory was the first six months' pro..
gress, that in July a line of night access, direct from
gseuaidoefd twobscyartweeolybrigelixgtetnst,, was opened, and
in upper and lower
order, from columns of 90 and 30 feet altitude, so
distanced from each other as to act, in the channel,

gentlemen would for a moment listen to), that the
arrangements of the Messrs. Burns for the royal
party was a mere mercantile speculation. We may
state, once for all, that the whole of the preparations
and expense on the Crinan Canal was merely a de-
monstration of becoming loyalty on the part of the
enterprising firms of Messrs. G. and J. Burns, and
Messrs. Thomson and Maconnell.

Immediately after the embarkation, the Black
Eagle, on board of which her Majesty, Prince Albert,
and suite were, and the Undine got under weigh, and
proceeded towards Campbelton.
Lord Palmerston, at Ardrishaig, thanked Mr.
George Burns for the admirable arrangements of the
firm of which he is a partner, and for providing such a
handsome barge for her Majesty. It must be extremely
gratifying to Mr. Hutchison to know that the royal
barge, fitted up by Mr. Kay of this city, by his direc-
tions, was approved of by her Majesty.

(FRO➢i OER OWN CORRESPONDENT).
In the midst of a heavy storm of wind and rain, her
Majesty, on Saturday, at mid-day, took her departure
from the Highlands, from Ardrishaig point, two miles
from Lochgilphead, on her return to England. Of
the royal squadron there were present but the
Black Eagle and the Undine steamers ; the Royal
Yacht, the Fairy, the Garland, and the Scourge,
having preceded her Majesty to Campbelton Loch,
Sound of Kilbrannan, where they were to remain till
joined by the Black Eagle and the Undine on Satur-
day night. Immediately after her Majesty had em-
barked on board the Black Eagle, the anchor was
weighed, and the vessels sailed for Campbelton Loch,
whence the royal squadron, yesterday morning, left
for Fleetwood.

The weather, on Saturday morning, had all the
features of a mid-autumnal season. The morning
looked settled, and the sun shone out bright and
cheering, though a cold wind prevailed, which was
sensibly felt by the passengers who left the Clyde to
view the embarkation of her Majesty at Ardrishaig.
It was not till we had entered Loch Fine that indi-
cations of a change showed themselves. Round the
rugged and majestic peaks of Arran vast sheets of
mist floated in mid air, while heavy clouds were
gathering in the sky, and the wind began to blow
more keenly from the north. Occasional showers fell,
but as we approached our destination the rain in-
creased, and when we arrived opposite Ardrishaig
point, it poured down with considerable violence, con-
tinuing all the time (about half an hour) that we
remained there.

The scene at Ardrishaig had a very different aspect
from that which was presented at Dumbarton on her
Majesty's arrival in Scotland. Three of the Castle
Company's steamers, which had left Glasgow early
in the morning, were the only representatives of the
splendid fleet of steam-ships and other craft which
welcomed her appearance in the Clyde, while not a
boat or vessel of any kind, save those belonging to
the royal squadron, was visible on Loch Gilp.
The hills behind Ardishaig were enshrouded in
gloom, and the spirits of the spectators assembled to
witness her Majesty's departure seemed considerably
damped by the depressing influences of the weather.
About four or five hundred people were assembled
on the pier, midway across which an arch had been
erected, and which was now re-decorated with
flowers and evergreens. The pier itself was covered
with a carpet of the Campbell tartan in honour of
her Majesty. The steamers present were dressed
with all their colours, and flags and streamers were
unfurled in various directions in the village and along
the shore. The number of passengers by the
steamers from Glasgow was not so great as might
hare been anticipated, and those who arrived in the
last boat, the Cardiff Castle, were just in time to see
the lifting of the anchor of the Royal Eagle, and the
departure of her Majesty from our Highland shores.
From Ardrishaig her Majesty had no convoy; but
a little beyond East Tarhert Mr. Napier's fine fast
sailing screw yacht, the Fire Queen, which had left
Glasgow at eight in the morning, and crossed Loch
Fine at Ardlamont Point, came up and accompanied
the two royal steamers to Campbelton Loch, where
they arrived about five o'clock. About half an hour
after, the Victoria and Albert joined, and the Queen
and Prince, with the Princess Royal and Prince
of Wales, went on board the royal yacht. On
Slttxrday evening tl town of Campbelton was beau-
tifully illuminated in honour of her iflajesty's visit,
.while bon-fires bla on sat Or' the adjacent
ttitir ightz; and 'from t nd of the, New Quay a fine
splay..of fire-works k place, which must have
rded much gratification to those on board of the
ye els in the bay.

About four o'clock yesterday morning, as day
began, to break,. _ the vessels- of Ile zoya]. squadroa,
commenced lifting their anchors, and about a
quarter to five they got under weigh, and departed
for England. Shortly after Prince Albert ap-
peared on the companion on deck, evidently much
interested in the scene, and took a last look at
the Scottish hills, as the squadron worked its way
out of the bay. The Fire Queen yacht accompanied
them for about an hour, and for half that time she
kept abreast of the Victoria and Albert. She then
dropped behind to allow the Fairy, so much famed for
her speed, to come up. Permitting her to get a little
ahead of her, the Fire Queen put on her steam, and
passed her with comparative ease. The Fire Queen,
which, like the Fairy, is a screw vessel, did credit to
the Clyde on this occasion, having proved her superior
swiftness by distancing the Fairy, even with all her
canvass set.

Her Majesty's sojourn in the Highlands, like her
visits to her favourite retreat at Osborne House, has
been almost entirely of a domestic character. The
weather during her stay was of a chequered descrip -
tion, and the frequent rain must have often prevented
out-of-door excursions and recreations. The wild
and romantic mountain scenery, amidst which
she has passed the last five weeks, could
not fail to have afforded her much pleasure ; and
as she has seen it in all its various aspects, it must
have left a deep and lasting impression on
her mind. In the calm and sunshine of a summer
or autumn day, no scenery on earth can be more
beautiful or more majestic than that of the Highlands,
and the sense of its beauty and majesty is deeply and
lastingly felt by the beholder. But when the mist
and the gloom of storms and rain set in around the
towering summits, and grey, rugged rocks of our
heath-covered hills, they assume a peculiarly drear and
wintry appearance, which leaves a proportionably
depressing effect on the feelings and spirits. Yet
both aspects are invested with features never to be
forgotten. Let us hope that next year will see her
Majesty once more in the Highlands. This visit now
brought to a close has been marked by everything
that is auspicious and favourable. No adverse acci-
dents have attended the royal progress, and we fer-
vently trust that the remembrance of the time spent
among the bracing air and invigorating breezes of the
mountains, will be of a nature strong enough to
induce her Majesty to return to them next summer
or autumn.

Conic-EXCHANGE, HULL, SEPT. 21.—Although
the actual business transactions of the past week have
not been extensive, the rates obtainable for all descrip-
tions of grain have been fully up to the advance noted in
our last market report. As might naturally be expected
buyers are exceedingly shy about complying with the
considerably enhanced demands of holders, and only
purchase for their immediate wants. Fresh red wheats
being scarce would fetch better proportionate prices than
Dantaie, but both are good to sell if too great an advance
is not demanded. We shall soon see whether this
sudden improvement does not induce more extensive
thrashing on the part of farmers. Wo had to-day a
large supply of wheat of home growth, with a small
show of foreign. For the former farmers were ask'
considerably above the rates of last week, but millers
generally would not comply ; we do not quote thelmaerrs-
ket more than 2s. to 3s. dearer. Foreign was onlyh slow
sale at about 2s. advance. A large business as been
doing of late in grinding barley, and our quotations... are
easy to obtain. For fine malting we have inquiries, but
as yet no supplies of moment. Oats have to
be again
reported fully is. dearer. Beans and peas in improved
request. No arrivals of rye
onits meal during the week. We
have so often remarkedvalue as an article of
general feed, that we can only once morerepeatany
iit ie
found most nutritious and economical,
agri-
culturists. are substituting it for cake. and m
We sincerely
believe only requires fairly and intelligently trying to
meet with still more extensive approval. Further
arrivals are daily expected. The little linseed out of the
above arrival which comes on the market meets ready
sale, and with present prices of oil and cakes is likely to
do so. Linseed cakes still in good request, and full
prices on both foreign and English are paid ; of both,
stooks are insignificant. An advance of ss. per ton has
been paid during the week on rape cakes, they arc
I scarce and in good demand. Bones still meet inquiries,

TUE ATTACK ON THE GAMEKEEPERS AT WEST
HORSLEY.—It being known that the examination of the
two men in custody charged with being concerned in
the above murderous attack would take place on Satur-
day, the town was crowded with persons from all the
surrounding parts. It was, however, deemed advisable
for the ends of justice that the examination should be
strictly private, and all that is known as to its result is,
that the prisoners were remanded till next Saturday.
Upon inquiry being; made as to the state of the two
wounded keepers, it was ascertained that they are still
lying in a highly dangerous state, and without the
slightest hopes of recovery.

did not speak_ any vessel on her homeward voyage,
and saw very' few. She encountered a succession of
easterly wind is, and during the last eight days has
experienced rs uch severe weather.
She left het Majesty's ships Imaun, Pantaloon,
Alarm, and Viper at Jamaica, and her Majesty's ship

The Royal Illail steam-ship Dee was on the
Spanish Main when the Dee left; Medway on her
passage from Jatinaica to Grenada; Conway, at St.
Thomas; and Teviot, in the Gulf of Mexico.
We learn. by this arrival that some refreshing
showers had. fallen at Jamaica, and that Trinidad and
Guiana had. experienced fine rains. The drought at
Barbadoes i s said to continue.
Extract of a letter, dated 32d August, Port-au-
Prince, Hayti :
" This capital is in a state of civil war. A rebel-
lious
chief, General Simelien, is now encamped at
the palace, cvith cavalry and infantry, two guns
loaded to the muzzle with grape, and hurling defi-
ance at the Government. President Soulouque, on
his departure for Cape Hayti, three weeks since, im-
prudently left the command of his guards to some am-
bitious men wiko have been keeping the town in the
greatest alarm ever since, as it is generally sup-
posed that they- wish to destroy the coloured popula-
tion and plunder the city. Two days ago the Pre-
sident sent one of his Ministers to endeavour to se
matters to rights, but he has only made matters worse
as the chief conspirators refused to obey his orders;
and are now in open rebellion. The Government
authorities have likewise troops at their orders, and,
appear determined to put down the insurgents, but
are unwilling to have recourse yet to violent measures„
as a collision might and would jeopardize the safety o 4
the town. There is, as you may imagine, mucli
anxiety and cause for alarm ; it is impossible to say!
what will be the result. We can only hope for the
best, as the lives and properties of foreigners arel
equally threatened by a collision between the two.
parties."
By this arrival we have our usual files of West
India papers, but excepting more favourable accounts
of the weather, they are unusually barren of interest.
The Trinidad Standard states Barbadoes had been
refreshed with rain, although other sources of in-
formation speak of the drought as continuing. The
following is somewhat more satisfactory as far as
regards Trinidad :
" During the past month we have been favoured
with seasonable weather. Fine showers of rain have
fallen, and the cultivation of the country presents an
encouraging and satisfactory appearance. In other
respects the weather has been extremely sultry. The
quantity of rain fallen during the month in the lower
part of Port of Spain has been 7 inches 7-10ths.
" The quantity of produce shipped to date has
been.;-=-
" Agar, 22,977 hogsheldt 1,669. tierces, 5,147
barrels ; molasses, 8,449 puncheons, 317 tierces ; rum,
297 puncheons; cocoa, 3,124,1211 b.; coffee, 10,0261 b.;
cotton, 41 serons.

" At the present moment the Gulf presents some-
what of its accustomed appearance, there being a larger)
• uminx of ya,tscl.l in_p er* dusts lasuo halm
_here for kw
last three months. We presume, that with the pre-
sent tonnage, parties will be enabled to ship the re-
mainder of their stocks of produce.
" Business continues dull, and the intelligence re-
ceived from home of the discouraging state of the
markets has had a sensible effect in producing consi-
derable depression throughout the island—not only in
Nthe state of business but in the minds and spirits of
the whole community."
At Antigua nearly 1,000 immigrants had arrive
within a short time, principally from Madeira ;
sufficiency of rain had fallen and the weather col.-
tinned favourable for estates' operations.
Continuous arrivals of cargoes of provisions f-
Barbadoes had caused a material fall in prices
well as affording great relief to the poor, who had
been' suffering severely. Considerable numbers ut
immigrants continue to arrive at Grenada from
Madeira.

An ordinance establishing trial by jury in crimi
nal cases in St. Lucia, had passed the Legislative
Council. _ _

The rain in Jamaica has been partial, and whil,t
one part of the island has had splendid shower::,,
other parts are suffering most severely, and fears for
the next year's crop are in some places entertained

REVIEW OF THE JAMAICA MARKETS.

(From De Cordova's Mercantile Intelligencer.)
--- - - - -

Flour—The anxiety of holders to sell, and- the
difficulty experienced in inducing the trade to ope-
rate, have created a greater decline in the price of this
article than that noticed in our last. Some few hun-
dred barrels Baltimore have been moved—say 600, at
325. 6d., 300 at 335., and 450 of a mixed lot, and
packages in bad order, at 315., but prices continue
only nominal. The stock of all sorts is heavy, and a
further reduction would have to be submitted to to
move any large parcels.
Meal—the receipts of this article since the 6th inst.
have exceeded 4,200 barrels, and the market has been
proportionably affected with this enormous stock.
Immediately after our last publication, which left
prices with a downward tendency, holders, correctly
anticpating these heavy arrivals, readily accepted 205.,
and afterwards 19s. per barrel, when the sale of 1,500
barrels Baltimore lowered the price to 18s. This
transaction had been hardly effected when 2,090 bar-
rels were received from New Orleans, which were
sold at 12s. for 500 barrels, sweet but rather white
and coarse, and 13s. for the remainder, which were
sweet, yellow, and fine. 800 barrels have since
arrived, but are as yet unsold. For a parcel of 240
barrels Philadelphia 14s. has been accepted.

tions is light.

Bread•LWatson's Pilot has changed hand.' at 225.
to 235. We have been told of a sale of 100 barrels
Baltimore Pilot at 19s. per barrel.
Butter—The whole of the last arrivals of Irish,
about 420 firkins, have been disposed of at 13d. to
14d. per lb. The market is still badly supplied with
American descriptions—a small lot of which (60
kegs) commanded 11d.
Lard of all sorts is scarce; 20 kegs American in a
liquid state have been taken at 6fd. per lb.
Candles—Short 6's are unsaleable at 7id.; other
sizes are worth Bd. to HA. per lb. The article is
not, however, very active.
Codfish—The remainder of the Ragged Island
cargo, referred to in our last, was disposed of at the
same rates as had previously been given, say 16s. and
19s. for casks and boxes respectively. A lot of
Halifax, consisting of 60 tierces and 120 boxes of the
new catch, was taken at the same rates; but since
then the receipts have been more than the market
will take off, and, although a small reduction has
been submitted to, the dealers are unwilling to
operate otherwise than sparingly. Nearly all the
late recipts are still unsold. We have been just told
of the sale of some parcels of " new catch" at 15s.
and 16s. for casks and boxes and " old" at 14s. for
casks.

Mackerel—The stock of this article is still exceed-
ingly heavy, and its sales are very much interfered
with by the various parcels of unsound and tainted
fish which arc daily exposed at auction. A rather
better feeling, however, is beginning to manifest
itself on the part of the trade, who show an inclina-
tion to purchase and may be induced to do 30 to some
extent on liberal terms. Small parcels are taken at
235. per barrel.
Alewives--No. 1 are worth 245. per barrel. The
stock is small.
Herrings are wanted. No. 1 would command 245.
Salmon is also wanted; the market is bare.
Soap—SS and SS in a diamond, 561 b., have been
sold, the former at 13s. 6d. and the latter at 16s.

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY 020 LONDON.
(Before T. Y. APCRRISTIE, Esq.)
CAUTION TO VOTERS. —ln the case of John Pear-
man, of the Playing Cxrd Company, who was on the
list f the Livery for 16'40 High-street, Camden Town,
but who had removed t 4 Grove-street, in the same lo-
cality, he was struck out of the list, because there was
no positive evidence in re ,pect to the voter's actual:re-
sidence, and because the v oter did not take the trouble
to send notice of his chat 117 e of residence to the clerk
of the company.
Charles Bowring of the Pewterers' Company
claimed to have his name Iserted in the list of voters
as a liveryman.
It transpired that the vex ter's name was excluded
from the list last: year, on the ground that he bad
received alms from the comp lny.
In the present case no objet tion was entered against
the claim, and there was no evidence offered of the
fact of the voter having recc-i,--ved alms from the com-
pany. s _

The Revising Barrister locordingly admitted the
claim.

Mr. S. Smith said, that if the Learned Barrister
had entertained a different view of the case, he should
have been prepared to show thmt there was a difference
between a pauper receiving parochial relief and a
person receiving alms from his own company. As,
however, the Learned Barrister had decided in fa-.
your of the claimant, it became unnecessary to press
the point on the consideration of the Court. Name
inserted.

James Davis was objected to on the ground of non-
residence. _ _

It appears that the voter is a licensed victualler,
residing in the country, but for the purpose of en-
titling him to his vote as a liveryman of the city et
London, he has a room in the house of Mr. Griffiths,
a licensed victualler, residing in Gibson-street; Lam-
beth, which it was proved was exclusively appro-
priated to Mr. Davis's use, but it was not shown that
he paid any rent for the apartments.
The REVISING BA.IIRISTZII did not think that, under
these circumstrnces, the residence in Gibson-street
was a good one. The na.ix.te was, therefore, struck
out of the list.
The name of Mr. Wilson., of the Spectacle-makers'
Company, was objected to on the ground of non-
residence.
It was, however, shown that, although his family
had been living at Luton, in. Bedfordshire, he had a
house in Camberwell, and that at Chrttraas last he
removed from that house to- one in Grove-lane, Cam-
berwell, and that he had removed, on Friday last, into
Aldermanbury. This evidence fully established the
fact of the six months' residence necessary to establish
a voter's title, as far as residence was concerned.
George Greenhill, was on. the list of the Tallow-
chandlers' Company, and his residence on the list was
Brandorf-house, Barnes. Thi' place, however, was
found to be beyond seven miles from the City.
Mr. elkeenhill then wanted to establish a residence
at his place of business in Bury-street, St. James's.
It did not, however, appear that he slept in the house
anytime during the last year, or indeed fur some
years. (4.• •
The CourVr decided that no residence had been esta-
blished in reap to Bury-street; consequently, the
itme was erstediTrom the list.
Mr. Greenhill said he should take care to establish
his right next year.
The following is the result of the revision of the
Livery lists of voters :
CLAllM—Liberals : allowed 4, +disallowed_ I,_

- -.a , 7t.
OBJECTIONS.—LiberaIs : sustained 132, failed 43.
Tories: sustained 97, failed 112.
Objections sustained by both parties 61, failed 1.

EAST SURREY.

-

The Revising Barrister, Mr. S. C. Fish, held his
first Court on Monday, at the Town Hall, Reigate.
Messrs. Drummond and Chrees attended as the Con-
servative agents, and Mr. R. Russell on behalf of
the Liberals. Mr. Jeans was also present, as the re-
presentative of the East Surrey Reform Association.
There were very few objections or fresh claims,
and none of them involved any point of public in.
terest.
The Court was this day held at Croydon, when
the same agents attended.
The Conservatives had made 45 objections, but
they only established one, and the whole of the re-
maining objections failed. There were 85 Liberal
objections, of which number they sustained 41. No
new point was involved in any of the cases.
