MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.

The Evening Mail has it, that up to this period the usual
Ministerial summons has not been issued to the supporters of
Ministers in the House of Commons. The leader of the House
of Lords, however, has shown more activity, as witness the
following " circular," addressed to Members of the House of
Peers by his Grace the Commander-in-Chief:—
" Strathtieldsaye, Dec. 31.
" My Lord,—As it appears that Parliament is to assemble
for the dispatch of business on Thursday, the 22d of January,
I venture to suggest to you the expediency of your Lord-
ship's attendance.
"It cannot be doubted that business of importance, as
well as the state of the country, have rendered necessary the
assembling of Parliament at so early a period, and that it is
desirable that the House of Lords should be fully attended.
" I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most
faithful humble servant, " WELLINGTON."

MARKET NE WS.-(Y ES TERDAY').
CORN-EXCHANGE
During last week th arrivals of Wheat, of home produce,
for our market, were on a very moderate sale, and of an nit"
usually inferior quality. Of English Barley and Malt the
receipts were tolerably good; but those of Oats, Beans, Pea%
and Flour, were small. From Scotland very little grain of
any description came to hand, while the only arrival from
Ireland was five quarters of Malt. The fresh suPPIY 13f
Foreign Wheat and Oats was seasonably extensive, but that
,
of all other articles was limited. Only a limited supply °,;
Wheat came to hand, coastwise, and by land carriage I°,!

samples of that grain in very bad condition. ill-
uncertainty which still exists respecting the nature .0_
the forthcoming change in the corn-laws caused to
dealers to purchase with extreme caution. We have, there-
fore, to report a dull inquiry for English Wheat, and, where
sales were effected, the holders were compelled to submit to
a further decline in the quotations of from is to, in some
instances, 2s per quarter, and at which a clearance was
effected. The show of free Foreign Wheat was small, never'
theless the inquiry for it was extremely dull, yet we

notice no decided alteration in value, the importers not being
disposed to accept of lower figures under existing nircu—,.,t,
stances. Bonded Grain of all kinds commanded little 5

The supplies brought forward were beneath average °rl—
quantity of English Barley on show was rather 01
than equal to the wants of the buyers. Selected qualP
of malting may be considered quite as dear but gTinuteb;

market a large portion of the latter was left over. There I

a fair supply of Malt on offer. Although the Malt trade was
far from active, about an average business was doing, ai
about previous currencies. Notwithstanding the extremely
short supply of Oats, holders of that article were unable

was heavy, and the rates had a downward tendency. d,
Peas the quantity on offer was but moderate. All kin
