MARKET NEWS.-(IRIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.
A very moderate supply of Wheat of home produce
has been received up to our market this week, coastwise
as well as by land carriage. To-day the show of samples
of that grain was small in the extreme. Selected qua-
lities of both red and white moved off steadily at, in some
instances, an advance in the prices of Monday of is per
quarter. All other kinds were firm, and quite as dear.
Scarcely any foreign Wheat has come in since our last
report. Rather large quantities wore disposed of to
country dealers at extreme rates of currency. Bonded
parcels were quite as dear, notwithstanding the advance
in the duty to 103 per quarter. Barley was a slow in-
quiry; but, as the imports are not so large this week,
holders would not submit to any further reduction in
value. The Malt trade was very dull and late rates were
with difficulty supported. Oats, Beans, Peas, and all
other articles moved off slowly at late rates.

SMITE/I'IEIAL
The supply of Beasts at to-day's market was by no
means so large as that exhibited on this day se'nnight:
nevertheless, it was quite equal to the wants of the
butchers. Comparatively speaking, the Beef trade was
firm, and, in some instances, the quotations had an up-
ward tendency. However, the highest general figure
for the best Scots did not exceed 4s per 81bs. With
foreign Beasts
,we were scantily supplied ; but from
Scotland, we received 350 Scots. The numbers of Sheep
were tolerably good. All breeds moved off steadily, at
fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, Monday's prices.
For Lambs we have to report a very inactive demand,
at, in some instances, a decline in value of 2d per 81bs.
From the Isle of Wight, 150 came fresh to hand.
There was rather more doing in Calves, at the late de-
cline in price. Pigs moved off heavily, at our quota-
tions. Mulch Cows were very dull, at from 151 to 181
each, including their small Calf.

MR. HUME and the NEW REFORM

MOVEMENT.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

-
SIR,—I have been greatly disappointed at being corn"
pelled to consent to the postponement of the resumed
debate, which stood for to-morrow, on Parliaments*:
Reform, to Thursday next, the 6th of July. But I bac!
no power of preventing it, as the Government, pressed
by the accumulation of public business, were unwilling
to surrender their right of precedence to-morrow-4°
arrangement to which Lord John Russell had given *
provisional consent. As I stipulated for a Governmen6
day, in order to secure the continuance of the discussion
of this important question, I can only regret a delay
which has been forced upon me; and I entertain ne
doubt that the promise of the Government will be faith-
fully kept, and that the debate will be proceeded with
on Thursday, the 6th of July, as now fixed.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
JOSEPH HUMS.

PENINSULAR MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY NIGHT.—The Peninsular

sular steamer Sultan, and on the 21st passed the 0.11
Thomas Metmalf, going to the westward.
The political advices from Italy by this arrival are
anticipated. Commerce in all the Italian ports was,
almost at a stand still, arising from the uncertainties °`
public affairs.

brought by the Hindostan. Her Majesty's stesmeo

Port Vendre, and eight from Barcelona.
