MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last week
were on n fair average scale, and the same may be said of
. Beans; while those of Barley were larger than for some time
Past. Of all other articles of home produce the receipts were
very small. From Ireland upwards of 10,000 quarters of
Oats came fresh to 'hand, but the imports of foreign Wheat,
Barley, Beans, a•iid Peas, were comparatively trifling—those
of Oats, Linsee,d, and Flour, rather extensive—over 12,000
barrels of the, latter article having reached us from America.
From Kent, rather more than an average quantity of English
Wheat 'leached us to-day in excellent condition, but from
StiP
-"sex. and Cambridgeshire the fresh arrivals were small.
„ however, the show of samples was moderately
e's.tensive. The millers being mostly well in stock,
rind the potato accounts being considered rather
More favourable than of late, the demand for all descriptions
of English Wheat was somewhat inactive, without any im-
provement in the quotations. Yet prior to the close of busi-
rsess a fair clearance was effected, at Friday's improvement
in the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. There was
evidently more inclination on the part of the holders to do
business at that day's prices. With free Foreign Wheat we
Were moderately well, but not to say heavily supplied.
Selected parcels of both red and white sold at Friday's im-
larroved currencies, but no advance upon them was noticed
zn any instance. Holders were again tolerably firm.
For bonded Grain there was less inquiry ; but about 2,000 quarters of Dantzic found buyers for shipment to Holland,
at late rates. We were fairly supplied with English
$a late
; but the supply of foreign was small. The best
grinding parcels were in fair request,' at about revious
quotations i but all other kinds hung on hand. The supply
of Malt was limited. Those parcels ready for delivery corn-
_llaalded a firm inquiry, at very full prices ; while the value
?I-4tter other kinds was well supp
fast, yet orted. We were much
;o suppthe lied with Oats than for some time

stoney.. The arrivals from Ireland are expected to be
weltfling for some time hence. The supply of Beans being on
iitenepreeriasse,fx further advance was noticed in their value.
d steadily, other kinds slowly, at late rates.
In Flour only a moderate business was doing, at last Monday's
quotations.

We The imports of live stock for our market during the past
have been on an extensive scale, and of unusually
Prune quality ; indeed, scarcely any of the Beasts have
reached us in a half-fed state. Several of the Cows imported
50310 Months since, and which were disposed of to the cow-
keepers in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, have again
appeared on sale here in excellent condition ; and
We understand they have turned out excellent milkers.

receipts at Hull have been about 500 head of various
kinds of stock, chiefly from Holland. By sea, about 200
Pigs have arrived in the metropolis from Ireland.
We had on offer 830 foreign Oxen and Cows, 2,300 ditto of
Sheep and Lambs, and 22 Calves, nearly the whole of which
Found buyers at full prices. The supply of home-fed Beasts
was again moderately extensive, and of fair average quality.
On the whole Beef was in a sluggish state, and last week's
quotations were barely supported. From the northern dis-
tricts 'We received 2,200 Short-horns, from the western and
lnidla.nd counties, 700 Herefords, Devone, Runts, &c., and
from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds, the re-
rnainder of the supply being chiefly derived from abroad.
With Sheep we were, comparatively speaking, very mode-
rately, supplied ; hence the slutton trade was active at fully,
but at nothing quotable beyond, the currencies obtained on
Monday last. Lamb being now out of season
ave dis-
continued to quote it. In Calves and Pigs a steadybusiness
was doing at extreme prices.

Owing to the high prices for live stock in the north of
England and elsewhere, very limited supplies of slaughtered
meat have come to hand from all quarters during the past
week—they having amounted only to 50 carcases of Beef ;

150 ditto of on ;70 ditto of Lamb ;80 ditto of Veal ,•
and 90 ditto of Pork. However, the supplies on offer, killed
in the metropolis, have been on the increase ; hence the
general demand—•if we except the inquiry for Veal, which
has ruled steady—has been in a very inactive state, and the
quotations have, in some instances, had a downward ten-

disposed of at good prices.

The imports of Wool into London in the past week have
been extensive, vig., 117 bales from Adelaide, 1,380 bales
from Bombay, 195 bales from Launceston, 919 bales from
Fort Philip, 529 bales from Algoa Bay, 241 bales from the
Cape 122 bales from Gibaltar, 70 bales fm Lisbon, 202
bales, from Seville, and 64r bales from Genoa.ro In the private
contract market a good business is doing in English Wool,
at very full prices, but foreign and colonial qualities com-
Mand very little attention.

TALLOW.
This market has been very active during the past week,
arid prices of every description of Tallow have advanced
la 6d to 2s per cwt. On the spot, new Y. C. is worth 4Gs to
46s Gd, and for forward delivery on or before the 31st De-
cember, 453 to 458 6d. The quotation of Town Tallow is
below its value. There are letters in from St. Petersburgh
this morning. The price there was very firm, and the ship-
year.are 70,000 casks, against 83,000 to the same date last

Tun DOOMED K.ING.—The king was not, as a
man, venal and despicable. It should not be said that
he fell through his worthlessness or personal crimes.
It should be for his political offences that he was na-
tionally adjudged. And never was there prince in whom
the ancient assertion, " lie whom God means to destroy,
he first drives mad," seemed more fully realised.
Amiable and religious in his natural disposition, he had
been educated in such principles of duplicity, and such
ideas of kingly prerogative, that he exhibited the
strangest mixture of directness of purpose and disregard
of all truth that ever met in the same human being. He
was truly the martyr of royalty ; God seemed to have
blinded his eyes, and to have hardened his heart, like that
of Pharaoh, to deliver him up as the great victim of arbi-
trary principles. He had the air of a sacrifice from his
youth; and when Vandyke painted his portrait to send
to Bernini in Rome for the execution of his bust, that
artist started at the view of it, and declared the posses-
sor of that face born to destruction. In Vandyke's four
celebrated paintings of him, we see him ,
were, on the path
of his gloomy destiny. A mridingelan as it
cho,
deep and fixed as death, reigns
in his whole form andl iyn
every eature; and on that path he went, not with a
wild
downcast hardih impetuosity, hood, but
blin with a solemn, desperate, and
od to all the signs in heaven and
on earth, the most wretched and incorrigible of men.—

DARING STREET ROBBERY.—On Saturday after-
noon Mr. Lalla, of 9, Castle-street, Long-acre, was pass-
ing tnrough Argyle-street, Regent-street, when he was
robbed of his pocket-book, containing an 1 0 1.7 for 51.,
a bill On Alexander Brunswick for 3001., and other valu-
able papers. The robbery is alleged to have been corn-
Mitted by a young man whom Mr. Lelia immediately
„ .11,1terwards seized, but the delinquent was rescued from
IlLn , and escaped.
