REJOICINGS IN PERTH.

Perth Constitutional Office, Saturday Forenoon, Mt ty 2.
No sooner had the news of the preservation of the south
Inch, by the Parliamentary Committee, reached Perth this
morning, than the magistrates met and ordered joyous pe:110
to be rung from the steeples of the city churches, which were
repeated at short intervals during the day. The Union Jack
was hoisted at the Council Hall, and the Royal Stat idard
floated over the embosures of the old tower of St. John's.
The battery on Bellwood-terrace sent forth its thunders,
which reverberated through the echoes of 10-oredun and
Kinnoull Hills. The expressions of joy were unice.rsal; and
the working-classes are preparing for a demonstration And
grand procession in the afternoon.

FALKIRK BURGHS.
RETURN OF LORD LINCOLN.
FALKIRK, FRIDAY.—This being the day fixed 1:oon by the .Sher
for taking the poll, arrangements were made for roc ording the, vote!
for the rival candidates at Falkirk, Airdrie, Lanark, ijamilto n, and
Linlithgow, and for communicating the result from hour to hour.
The interest which the distinguished position of Lord LinCohl__,origi-
nally gave to this election, on its being announced that his
was to contest the burghs, was increased by the speech which' he de-
livered at the nomination on Wednesday, on which occasi,9l2 he
prominently brought forward the moral influence which a 8 econd d::
feat of a member of the Cabinet would have upon the strength of the
Government as a strong reason why, at this particular time, and on
this occasion, the constituency of the Falkirk burghs ought to• prefer
him to Mr. Wilson. The contest was accordingly looked forw •ard to
with the greatest interest ; and as both parties were equally c ertsin
of success, from the promises of support which they had receiN•ed,,r
was evident that the contest must be a very close one. It W2s fell,
however, that Mr. Wilson's chance of success had been lesseued bC
the conciliatory manner and speech of Lord Lincoln On the drAY
nomination.

We believe that even some of Mr. Wilson's friends were 10 far
satisfied with the declaration which he (Lord Lincoln) inside at the,
nomination, that he had no intention of coming forward at a genera.'
election, that they would have been desirous that Mr. Wils oirs OP:,
porters should not go to the poll, provided sufficient time had been
left for carrying out this arrangement.
The returns of the final poll did not reach Falkirk till about/11
o'clock at night ; and the following is the result of the whole At. to
o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the poll closed :

CORN EXCHANGE.
The past week's arrivals of English Wheat coastwise were till.:
fair average scale ; but those ef all other kinds of grain of he,`"4
produce were limited. From Ireland and Scotland the receipts
Oats were small, while the imports of foreign corn were by far more'
limited than for some time previously. Fresh up to day, a moderate
quantity of Wheat came to hand from Essex, Kent, and Cambridge"-
shire, coastwise as wen as by land carriage and samples, yet the
stands were by no means heavily filled. The attendance of ball
town and country buyers was tolerably numerous, hence the /least
qualities of both red and white—which termed but a small portion
of the supply—commanded a ready sale at fully, but at nothing
quotable beyond, the prices obtained on this day se'nnight. In the
middling and inferior kinds exceedingly little business was transacted.
at previous currencies, and a total clearance was not effected'
The accounts received to-day from most parts ef the country r!:
specting the general appearance of the young wheat plants eta'e
that the future prospects are good. There was rather more free
Foreign Wheat on offer, yet the inquiry for that article was veil'
steady, and last week's prices were well supported. In Bonde
Wheat a fair business was transacted for speculative purposes, bet
prices underwent no change. The supply In warehouse it still 00
the increase. With Barley we were rather scantily supplied. fine
Malting parcels moved off steadily at very full prices, but Grinding
and Distilling sorts hung on hand, yet we cannot call them cheaper'
Since our last very few parcels of Malt have come to hand, eons&
quently the show of that article to-day was small. Fine Ware P.,er..
eels supported late figures. In other kinds, comparatively lin4,e,
business was transacted. From all parts the receipt of Oats have
keen scanty. Potato parcels commanded a firm inquiry at extrettr
currencies ; while the value of all other parcels was well maintained'
We understand that the shipments of Oats from many of the leading
Irish ports are increasing ; hence additional supplies may he
shortly expected here. We had a very short supply of Beans on OW.
which commanded a steady sale at late rates. In Peas there vog
rather more doing, and white parcels were held at Is per quarter
more money. The Flour trade was firm, at the late advances.
SMITHFIELD.
From our own grazing districts we received a full average time of
year supply of Beasts fresh up this morning, the quality of which
was unusually fine. The attendance of buyers being by no means
numerous, the Beef trade ruled dull, at a decline in the quotations of
2d per sibs, the highest figure for the best Scots being 4s per filbs•al
at which a clearance was not effected. The droves from Norfolk.
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, embraced nearly 2•0°?.
Scots, Home-breds, and Short-horns ; from the Eastern and
Midland districts, 300 Doyens, Runts, Herefords, &e.; from other
parts of England, 200 of various kinds ; and from Scotland 300 scoff!.
The numbers of Sheep were again on the increase, owing to which
the Mutton trade was somewhat inactive, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on this day se'anight. From ti; e Isle of Wight about
170 Lambs came to hand per railway. On the witole the Lamb trade
was steady at Friday's depressed rates. In Calves very little wee
doing at previous currencies, and the same may he said of rigs.
Nearly 1,000 of the latter have reached the metropolis by steam
from Ireland during the week. Suckling Calves 18s to 30s, set;

Lambs, 23,050 ; Calves, 96 ; Pigs, 300.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
For the time of year, the receipts of slaughtered Meat from Scot-
land and most parts of England for our markets, during the pael,
week, have been on a fair average scale, and of superior quality The supplies on offer killed in the metropolis having been somewhat
extensive, the general demand must be considered heavy, at, in most
instances, drooping prices. Nearly 40 carcases of foreign Beasts and

WOOL.
Since Monday last the imports of Wool into London have been on
the increase, they having amounted to 733 bales from Hobart Town,

91 do. from Konigsberg. It is expected that several public sales )'
colonial wools will be held towards the close of the present month.
Privately there is rather more business doing in foreign and colonial
qualities, but English atilt hang on hand.
