THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY ETENING-; DECEMBER 6, 1848.:

Absolute authority, and of the miseries consequent
upon " Democratic Terrorism."
Although the misrepresentations of the reactzen-
aires would lead the contemporary multitude to
imagine otherwise, posterity will perceive, through
the impartial records of History, that the revolutionary
movements of 1848 have, in the majority of instances,
emanated from the convictions and the patriotism of
the better class of citizens. The people who revolted
against the French monarchy in February were
identical in sentiment and principle with the people
who subsequently rose in arms at Milan, at Berlin,
at Vienna, at Pesth, and throughout Posen. On the
other hand the rabble who fought behind the barri-
cades of June, were the same in atrocity and the same
in ferocity with the murderers who desecrated the
precincts of the Eternal City and stormed the
palace of the Quirinal. No event since the
first dawning of civilization has done so much injury
to the sacred cause of Democracy as that which has
rendered the Roman mob the opprobrium and horror
of Christendom. The insults inflicted by them upon
the venerable person of Pope Pius IX. are enough
to deter any monarch from ever again spontaneously
bestowing the blessings of political emancipation upon
his subjects. The dignity of humanity, the reputa-
tion of democracy, the reverence for virtue, the
admiration for gentleness, the homage for genius, the
respect for misfortunes, all plead with a persuasive-
ness beyond that of earthly eloquence for the
solace of Pro Norco in his exile and the repu-
diation of the Roman ruffians in their success. The
voice of loathing which has resounded over Europe
must have penetrated before this into the council;
chambers of the Government of Assassins installed in
the city of the Pontificate. That voice is filled with
the augury of their downfal, and until the downfal of
the bloodstained Socialists of Rome the fame of
Democracy will require some signal vindication.

We yesterday spoke of the reclamation of the waste
lands in Ireland as being one of the plainest and most
obvious of the remedial measures for that country.
It is no new suggestion; many years since it was
pressed upon the Government and the Legislature, and
it has been since advocated with the utmost zeal and
perseverance by men who have maturely considered
the condition of the sister kingdom, and traced her
misfortunes and sufferings to the true sources.
There is no doubt or difficulty about the matter.
Every necessary inquiry has already been instituted,
and we pOSSES3 the fullest and most authentic
information respecting the localities of the lards
susceptible of i nprovement, the nature of the works
to be undertaken, the amount of the expenditure re-
quired for their reclamation, the time within which
they could be brought into cultivation, and the pro-
bable value of the reclaimed lands. Mr. RICHARD
GRIFFITH, a gentleman whose very name will give
authority to any statement, has reported fully and
explicitly on all these points. He has shown that as
a mere speculation it would be of a most profitable
character. Ten per cent. is the estimated return in
the more favourable localities, and the whole of the
outlay would be applied (with the exception of such
sums as may be paid to the proprietors for the fee-
simple of the lands) in the payment of wages to able—
bodied labourers, who are now burdens on the re-
sources of the country, in place of being the creators
of national wealth. _ _

One obstacle, however, intervenes that has hitherto
proved insuperable, and which cannot be surmounted
without the aid of the Legislature, viz., the compli-
cation of legal titles, the difficulty of ascertaining
that the lands can be conveyed to those willing to
undertake their reclamation without the risk of being
subsequently deprived of the legitimate fruits of their
enterprise and industry. The nominal proprietor
would gladly dispose of his interest therein. With
crippled means and restricted powers, he could never
himself hope to drain bogs or reclaim mountains.
Whatsoever he might receive, either in the shape of
purchase-money for the sale of the fee and inheritance
of the lands, or of rent on a long lease, would be so
much saved, a new source of income opened to him.
He would be delighted to c u-operate in any man-
ner, but the law interposes a barrier. Ile has but an
estate for life, or some other limited interest in the
lands. The remainder-man cannot be bound by any
act of his ; and thus the system of entailing and
tying-up lands practically prevents their ameliora-
tion, and. operates most prejudicially upon
the welfare of the community in general. The
lands may also be mortgaged, or otherwise
encumbered ; any lease or other conveyance
that might be made would be subject 'to these de-
mands, so that no sane person would embark his
capital in a speculation where he might be deprived of
the beneficial results thereof from contingencies
wholly beyond his own control. Under the most
favourable circumstances, even supposing the pro-
perty to be wholly free from entail, charge, or in-
cumbrance, considerable costs would be incurred in
preparing the abstract of title, making the necessary
searches, and conducting the other inquiries that
might be deemed essential.
These impediments have hitherto prevented any
extensive reclamation of waste lands by private
enterprise; save in the rare instances where the
owner of the soil is himself enabled to undertake the
necessary outlay, nothing can be done. Of course
cases may occur, and we rejoice to say have occurred,
in which individual proprietors have, by their own
energy and perseverance, converted barren wastes
into arable and pasture lands. But those constitute
the exception, and not the rule, and few Irish land-
lords possess means sufficient to venture upon the
experiment.

This difficulty can only be overcome by a bold
and comprehensive law, enabling the nation to take
possession of the lands lying waste and un-
cultivated, whenever the nominal proprietor
declines to undertake the reclamation thereof
within a certain limited time, compensation
should of course be given to the former owner, either
in money, or in a certain fixed annual rent payable
thereout for ever. This compensation might be
assessed by a jury selected and impanelled, as in
cases of property taken for railway purposes. One
objection only can be made to such a course :—lt is
impolitic to interfere with private property. And
this has been suffered to prevail amongst those whom
Mr. RIGBY WASON so properly terms " one-eyed
men ;" so that a course, which is as equitable and just
as it is wise and expedient, is retarded by the obsti-
nate adherence to an abstract principle, which is
certainly sound in itself, but to which there are many
exceptions.
If a precedent were required for such a course
it might be found in the power given to every railway
company to take lands, against the will of the owner,
for the construction of the line, the due development
of the traffic, or even the mere convenience of the
company. If land that has been improved to the
highest degree, that has been built upon—and which
may, perhaps, be deemed by the owner indispensable
to the full enjoyment of the residue of his property in
that locality—may be thus taken possession of, notwith-
standing the strenuous opposition of the proprietor,
because the interests of the community in general
demand the sacrifice, surely it is a much slighter
invasion of the rights of property to insist that those
suffered

The first step to be taken on the
Parliament should be to pass an Act appointingg
Corn.missioners, who should be authorised to take
posses-
sion of all lands remaining waste and uncultivated.
The Commissioners should be empowered to sanction
all sales or leases of land for the purposes of reclaim,.
tiun ; and such acts should, after their approval, be
wholly unimpeachable. They should also, on the petition
of any persons who gave proper security to reclaim the
lands, be enabled to make a conveyance thereof upon
the value assessed by a jury as hereinbefore-men-
tioned being paid to the present proprietor. If such
a course were adopted, companies and individuals
would he induced to invest their capital in under-
takings that would afford the fairest prospect of re-
munerating profits ; while more might and should be
done by the State itself in furtherance of this most
desirable object.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.

The Moniteur du Soir announces that the POPE
had arrived at Gaeta on the 25th ult., and that the
King of NAPLES and the Royal Family had repaired
to Gaeta to pay their respects to his HOLINESS. The
news was transmitted by telegraph from Marseilles,
and was the substance of a dispatch from the French
Minister at Nap!es.
We find the following in the Presse. :—" A rumour
was current last night that the Grand Duke of
TUSCANY has fled from Florence and left his States.
We give this news without in any way guaranteeing
lits exactitude, but which unfortunately, since the en-
trance of M. GUERRAZI to the Ministry, is far from
being unlikely."
The National says—" We can announce that the
place in which the conferences between the mediating
Powers and Austria are to be opened is definitively
known. It is Brussels which has been proposed, and
accepted by a common accord."
There were three Socialist banquets held on Sun-
day in Paris. The first was at Grenelle, and was
presided over by Count D'ALTON SHEE, who made a
speech, in which he called kings thieves, pillagers,
and assassins of their people. Referring to the recent
discussion in the Assembly, he said that the people
would not forget that CAVAIGNAC and LEDRU ROLLIN
had endeavoured to prove that they each took the
promptest and most energetic measures to repress
what they called the insurrection, and cause the blood
of their brethren and children to flow. He concluded
by expressing regret, and blaming the duel between
PROUDHON and PYAT. There were about 800 per-
sons present. The second banquet was held at
Sevres. MM. LEDRU ROLLIN, PROUDIONj and
FELIX PYAT were present. M. LEDRU ROLLIN
urged the necessity of carrying out the revolution to
its full consequences, and proposed that, instead of
calling themselves by different names, all those who
agreed with him in opinion on that point should call
themselves Revolutionists. A third banquet was
held at the Barriere du Maine, and was attended by
1,800 persons of both sexes.
The delegates of the Socialist democrats in Paris
have declared in favour of LEDRU ROLLIN as candi-
date for the Presidency of the Republic.
The seamen on board the ships forming the French
squadron at Naples, consisting of two ships of the
line and three steam-frigates, have given their
votes for the President. Of the number, 620 have
been given for General CAVAIGNAC, 303 for Louis
Narol.EoN, and 361 for M. ARAGO. The latter gen-
tleman, it will be remembered, was Minister of the
Marine under the Provisional Government.

M. LITCIEN BONAPARTE has been elected Deputy
to the National Assembly for Ajaccio.
Upwards of 2,000 of the National Guards of the
7th Legion, headed by their Colonel, waited on Gene-
ral CAVAIGNAC on Sunday and presented to him the
following address :
" Citizen Chief of the Executive Power,--As organ of
the feelings of the 7th Legion, I come as the bearer of
the expression of its fraternal sympathies, and at the
same time of its adhesion to the sentiments of the Na-
tional Assembly, so well expressed by the venerable
Dupont (de l'Eure) in the sitting of the 25th ult., when
the Assembly agai❑ proclaimed before France and the
whole world that in the events of June, 1848, General
Eugene Cavaignac had deserved well of his country."
The General, whose appearance was welcomed by a
unanimous cry of " Vivo Cavaignac," made the following
reply:—
" Monsieur le Colonel and dear fellow-citizens of the
7th Lee ion—l thank you for this effusion of your feel-
ings towards me. On a recent occasion, when I had to
thank my fellow-citizens of other legions for similar de-
monstrations, I told them that however good my cause
might bc, I had found in the declaration of the National
Assembly sufficient recompense and encouragement.
Yes, it is an encouragement to every good citizen to be
able. to say to himself, that where he acts with right
loyalty and justice, public feeling is always sure to go
with him. Yes, every man unjustly attacked for his acts
may be certain to find, ou the day when he shall justify
himself, an echo in the country and in the hearts of his
fellow-citizens.—(Loud acclamations.) I repeat, I thank
you for this manifestation. But however precious such a
testimony may be to me, it adds nothing, and can add
nothing, to my complete and absolute devotedness to the
nation and to the Republic.
"It is certainly a sweet recompense—but once more
I say that devotedness is and will remain absolute Gnd
proof against every trial. Vive la Republique."
This cry ;was repeated with enthusiasm by all pre-
sent, mingled with that of " Vive Cavaignac."
M. CLEMENT THOMAS has published a letter stating
that, having exercised the command of the National
Guard on June 23d, until obliged to withdraw from
it on account of being wounded, he thinks it right to
declare that the orders which he gave were not inde-
pendent of the plan of General CsvetriaLac, and
hence that the plan of defence against the insurrection
did not exclude the National Guard.

An electional committee, composed of delegates
chosen in thirty electoral sections of the third arron-
dissement, sat on Saturday to discuss the claims of
the different candidates for the Presidency of the Re-
public. The number of delegates present was 89.
The votes were as follows :—For General CAVAIGNAC,
75 ; LEDRU ROLLIN, 6 ; LOUIS BONAPARTE, 5
blank votes, 3.
The Gazette des Tribunauz says—" The Prefect of
Police has given very severe orders in consequence of
certain rumours which have been current respecting
clandestine depots of arms and ammunition. A
rigorous surveillance is exercised in several quarters
of Paris, which have been particularly signalised to
the authorities."

In the course of the sitting of the National As-
sembly yesterday, General CAVAIGNAC made the fol-
lowing communication :
" We have already had the honour of informing you
that we have received a telegraphic dispatch, from which
it appeared that the Pope had left Rome in the night,
between the 24th and 25th, for Gaeta, and that the
illikiare had left Civita Vecchia, under the order of our
ambassador at Rome, to go to Gaeta. That dispatch
also indicated on the part of the Pope the intention of
coming to France. I wish now to give an account to
the Assembly of what has happened since. I remind
the Assembly that, in the course of the 28th, orders
were given by telegraph for the collection of troops at
Marseilles. These orders did not reach Marseilles till
the evening of the 29th. It was only on the 29th that
M. de Corcelles left Paris. He reached Marseilles on the
30th. On the 2d of December a dispatch reached Mar-
seilles from our Ambassador at Naples, announcing to
us the arrival of the Pope at Gaeta, and the departure
of the King of Naples to meet him in that port. On
this news, which gave him the certainty of the presence
of the Pope at Gaiita, M. de Corcelles started from Mar-
seilles for Gaeta, in order that ho might, as soon as
possible, place himself in communication with the Pope.
On the night of the 2d, M. de Corcelles had a'ready
started, and the troops were still in the port of Mar-
seilles. We have dispatches of the $d December, which
state that they are still moored in the roads. As soon as
the Government learnt that the Pope was no longer
threatened in his person, it understood that the
departure of the troops had become useless.
It had already sent a telegraphic dispatch to
M. de Corcelles to prevent all misunderstanding.
That dispatch set forth the conduct which he
was to pursue, according to circumstances. A dispatch,
by which we ordered the troops not to start, could not
be dispatched till this morning." Ho closed by remark-
ing that these different delays were occasioned by the
state of the weather. Some of the dispatches sent by
telegraph had only reached the Government by post.
He concluded with the following words:—" I now re-
sume the present position of things. It is certain that
the Pope left Rome on the night of the 24th to the 25th.
Itjis also certain that he arrived at Gaeta in the course
of the following day, and that he has been there
,joined
by the King of Naples. We also know that M. d'Har-
court, who left'Rome on the same day, has taken the
Tenare from Civita Vecchia to carry him to GaZita. Be-
sides this, we know that M. de Corcelles has started
from Marseilles, to join the Pope at Gaeta, and that an
aviso has also sailed from that port for the same port.
We hare no later news."

ing manner. The small-pox is raging fearfully in
Lisbon.

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

In the course of the sitting of the Diet at Krem-
sier on the 27th, M. RIEGER rose, and accused the
Deputies who had remained at Vienna of high
treason. He made some remarks on the subject of
the recent martial executions at Vienna, and highly
lauded the Bann JELLACHICH.
M. SCHIJSELILA said that he considered it due to
his dignity, and that of his colleagues, to reply to the
speech of M. RIEGER, which was nothing more than
a denunciation ; that the Members who continued to
sit at Vienna from the 6th to the 3I st of October
were ready to answer for all they had done ; and
that for his own part he would not hesitate at any
moment to submit to the court•martial of Prince
WINDISCUGRATZ.

After Prince SCHWARTZENBURG had read the
programme of the Ministry (which appeared in The
Sun of yesterday), M. SCHUSELRA obtained leave to
put some questions to the Ministry ; he commenced
by expressing his thanks for the programme in
general, but added that, fur the interests of the mo-
narchy, he should put the following questions :
" 1. Does the Ministry take upon itself the respon-
sibility for all that is at this moment done at Vienna,
at Limberg, and what may be done in Hungary; or
will Austria continue under military despotism ?
" 2. Is sanguinary justice to continue at Vienna?"
M. SCHUSELKA then, turning to the Minister BACH,
added, may it not do for Vienna what it has done
for P‘rague ?
"3. What position does the Ministry intend to as-
sume in the melancholy affair of ROBERT BLUM, in
regard to the Frankfort Parliament, and the people of
Germany ?"
He set aside the innocence or the culpability of
Br.uiu, and considered the case in a merely political
point of view.
The President requested that these questions should
be given him in writing, promising to give a reply,
with a detail of the motives.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the Ist December says
that the Government intends to impeach 12 of the
Deputies, and among them President SMOLKA.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian National Assembly was adjourned on
the Ist December to the Thursday following.
The meetings and conferences of ;he Deputies of
the Opposition being prohibited by the military, they
have resolved to hold them at Brandenburg, in order
to be beyond the state of siege.
The garrison of the city had been reinforced by a
battalion of the Landwehr of Pomerania.

It was generally believed that the consequence of
the hostile spirit manifested at the last sitting of the
Chamber, by the Opposition, would be a dissolution.
BERLIN, DEC. 4.—The Prussian Stoats Anzieger
of this date contains an address from the members of
the Right and Right Centre of the National Assem-
bly, assembled at Brandenburg, to the inhabitants of
Prussia. It is as follows :
" TO THE COUNTRY.

" Once before on these eventful times we have ad-
dressed ourselves to you, inhabitants of the kingdom
of Prussia. You have received our word willingly,
and the result has justified you in confiding in us;
now, also, confidence and union alone can serve the
country.
" That portion of the National Assembly which
opposed the transfer to Brandenburg, commanded by
necessity, continue to sit for a time, regardless of
the division and confusion which it thereby created
in the country ; it finally decreed the refusal of
taxes, and thus combined avarice with the political
question.
" The nation has replied to this equally ignoble
and illegal measure: as became a nation having re-
spect for the laws and political order ;. it has con-
tinued loyal to its King, so worthy of the honour
which has always distinguished his reign.
" We, the other Deputies, by reason of the sum-
mons contained in the Royal message of prorogation,
have assembled here, at Brandenburg, on the 27th
November. We came hither in the hope that the
days which had elapsed would have calmed passion,
and induced a deviation from the path entered upon.
We cherished the conviction that the voice of the
country, that the abyss to the very brink of which
their precipitate steps had. brought the country,
would have recalled conviction; we thought it
possible that all of us profiting by the les-
sons of the past, invigorated to fresh union by
dangers overcome, would speedily terminate the
framing of the Constitution, thereby satisfying the
long expectations of the waiting people, and by the
consolidation of our new position, bring
back order, and confidence, whereby the
copious streams of our country would again
flow freely, and soon shed a yet higher blessing
than hitherto on the burgher and the peasant,
on the labourer and the artisan,. on trade and com-
merce, on the arts and sciences, and every benevolent
institution. In short, that it would spread a blessing
on every one, whereby our country, which stood
forth so great and so glorious, might stand so still.
" The way hereunto was made plain to the other
party. The decision of the National Parliament
of Frankfort, the sentence of the universities and of
the high courts of justice, addresses with numerous
signatures, have declared for the rights of the Crown,
and the power of events has sided with them.
"Any of the other party that was not satisfied with
this might have reserved his right respecting a view
of the past by . a public declaration, and
then unreservedly join the National Assembly at
the point at which it was prorogued on the 9th,
and re-opened on the 27th of November. For the
-.veal of the country proceeds ; it does not retrograde.
This, according to the testimony of history, has been
the mode of procedure in innumerable cases. Thus
will those always act who aim at the welfare of the
country."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 4,000 bales, consisting of about 3,500 Ameri-
can; 100143g-yetian realised 514-d.; 400 Surat 24c1. to 31(1.;
and 40 Seta Islands at Bd. to 141. per lb. The market
was firm. There were 700 bales on speculation. For
Railway Shares a better feeling existed, and prices had
an improved. tendency.
The mail; from Germany does not bring any alteration
in the rate of exchange on London, which continued at
13 9. Mousey was easy, and a fair business was doing
in stocks and shares.
The couaraencement of the provision business in the
United States is always an important time for the largo
number of -persons interested, on both sides of the At-
lantic, and. as this branch is likely to receive great ex •
tension annually, the following notices of the prepara-
tions making for the ensuing season will be interesting.
The Buffalo Advertiser states that " packing opera-
tions of ,b,sef and pork have been commenced in the
towns wiatre they are usually pursued, on the north-
western Irk es, on the upper Mississippi, on the Ohio, on
the Cum bisrland, the Illinois, '&c. The prepara-
tions gerasrally, so far as we observe, have
been semis' with a view to a large business;
still the common impression seems to be that
there will be a good deal less provision packing done
this year than was done last. This will depend very
much, however, we suppose, upon the prices paid; for the
country is. understood to be full enough of both hogs
and cattle, .and if good prices are held out early in the
season, as ma inducement for drovers to make contracts,
they will do übtless be brought in."
The Cincinnati Gazi(te says of the business there and
elsewhere --" Iu this city the business will be active so
ene weather shall become a little colder, and
finally, harge. To the present time about 8,500 head
of hogs .rave been slaughtered, and about 2,000
head of cattle. The current prices of the former
are about ;3 dolls. 15c. to 3 dolls. 25c., and of the latter
3 dolls to 4 dolls 24e. In Louisville operations com-
menced the first part of this week, and about 1,500 head
of hogs were slaughtered by two establitdimehts the first,
second, and third days ; the last quotation published is
3 dulls. 25c. per 1001bs. net, but buyers were unwilling to
meet these igures for any further lots."
The St. Louis Republican, of the 4th instant, has the
following aotice of the commencement of operations in
that city :- -" Yesterday, the first cutting of hogs for
packing war; made. At the pock-house of the Sigersons
between 91) and 100 heads were received and cut,
and their purchases for two or three days past
have amour, ted to 400 or 500 head, and at a range of
2 dolls. 50c. to 3 dolls., according to size and condition.
They hare also purchased, and are now engaged in
cutting an 6 packing 160 head of very fine cattle, for
which they contracted to pay 3 dolls. 25c. per 100Ibs.
net. At nee esimblishment ot the Messrs. Ames, quite
an active business is going on in this line. During the
past week. they have purchased between 250 to 300
head, ranging in price from 3 dolls. to 8 dolls. 50e.
At the new and; extensive packing house of Clarkson
and Motgan, we found rather more doing than
could have been expected at the commence-
ment. On Thursday they commenced operations
and during the day cut 244 head of hogs. Yesterday
they were employed with a lot of 500, which, it was
supposed,, 'would be completed, and ready for the barrels
before night.
" At this early day it is almost impossible to speak,
with any degree of certainty, in regard to the price de•
mended, or the number that will be slaughtered and put
up during the present winter ; but we are assured that
the most .extensive preparations have been entered into,
and, without doubt, better and greater facilities are now
offered to the farmer
,drover, and speculator, than have
ever been .known during any previous season since the
commencement of the business in this city.
" We hoar that there are already orders in the market
for between 25,000 and 30,000 head, but the limits to
which purchasers, as it is supposed, will confine them-
selves at present will be dollars 2.50 to dollars 2.75,
turning on 200 pounds; in fact there appears to be a
general disinclination on the part of purchasers to ex-
ceed thew figures, and it is confidently asserted by
many that dollars 2.75 will be the outside range for all
large contracts for packing purposes."
The Money Market is looking well again
today, although, as usual after a rise, there
has been a slight change in the Funds. Yester-
day aftevnoon the Bears commenced buying in
their accounts, and this with the stimulus of money pur-
chases cat sed a rise from 871 to 88 and 881. For
some days past it has been apparent that opinion ran in
favour of higher prices, and that the speculators for a
fall, anticipating that the elections might go in favour of
General Cavaienac, and that the great influx of specie wi th
the favorable Bank returns would induce money purchases
were endeavouring to hedge off. Hence recourse was
had to " puts," and operations for a rise were entered
into. Present appearances are certainly favourable, but
whether any unexpected contingencies will arise it is
impossible to say. Consols opened to-day at 881 4,
being done at the highest quotations; but upon the
Chancery broker and one or two other parties appearing
as sellers, a reaction has occurred to 874 4. Bank
Stock is firm at 190. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 86 -I. Exchequer-bills (June)
have been 38s. to 41s. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been wholly neglected.
Mexican have been done at 204. Belgian Four-and-a-
Half per Cents. are 704 to 71. Spanish Three per
Cents. are about 244 to 25.
Railway Shares have been very firm, and although
the business done is not extensive, higher prices have
been 'obtained for North-Western, Eastern Counties,
South-Eastern, the York and other lines.

JOISN MUSTERS, Esct.—This gentleman, so well
known in the literary world as having married Lord
Byron's " Mary," is. wo regret to hear, in a state which
precludes all hope of his ultimate recovery. As a first-
rate sportsman, he many years kept a pack of hounds,
and hunted in the adjoining county of Nottingh,mshire,
and for two years hunted the North %Vold hounds.
gentlemanly manners in the field, and his hospitality at
his mansion, gained him innumerable friends; and those
who recollect " Handsome Jack, as he was ea:lad some
30 years back, will read this announcement with CORSi•
derable regret.—.Lincolnshire l Imes.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY''
The quantity of English Wheat received up to va_,
market coastwise, since Saturday last, has not excel xle°
630 quarters. Fresh up to-day, scarcely any sam pleg
reached us from any quarter. There were very few
buyers in attendance, yet most of the English Wheal
brought forward was disposed of, at prices fully equal to
those paid on Monday. Scarcely any Foreign vVbeac
has come to hand this week. Really fine parcels ;were
in moderate request, at full rates of currency. The
middling and interior kinds were almost nominal in
value. The supply of Barley was small. Most descrip-
tions moved off steadily, and late prices were firmly sup'
ported. We had a very slow inquiry for Malt. In prices,
however, we have no change to notice. Most kinds of
Oats, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly
at late rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were
much neglected, yet we cannot quote them cheaper.
