MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to-
day was very moderate, and the show of samples by no
means large, yet the demand for all kinds of Wheat of
home produce, as the weather is tolerably fine to-day,
was in a very inactive state at Monday's quotations, and
at which a total clearance was with difficulty effected.
Foreign Wheat, the imports of which have been very
moderato, was very slow in sale, yet the holders refused
to accept lower prices. In bonded Wheats next to no-
thing was doing. In Barley very few transactions took
place at late figures. There waa a lair retail demand for
Malt, ready fur delivery, at very full prices. Oats,
Beans, and Peas were in steady request, and late rates
were well supported in every instance. Indian Corn
and Flour were slow in sale.

SMITHFIELD.

A full average supply of Beasts, as to number, was on
sale in this morning's market; but the general quality
of the stock was inferior. On the whole, the Beet trade
was in a sluggish state, at Monday's quotations—those
for the best Scots being 4s to 4s 2d per 8 lbs. There
were on offer 15 Beasts from France, 54 ditto from Por-
tugal, 209 ditto from Holland and Germany, together
with 1,580 Sheep and Lambs, and 406 Calves from the
latter countries. Although the Lumbers of Sheep were
good, the demand for that description of stock was some-
what active, at extreme rates of value. Prime Down
Lambs moved off briskly at an advance in the currencies
of 2d per 8 lbs. Otherwise the Lamb trade was firm, at
full prices. Calves met a very dull inquiry, but we have
no decline to notice in the quotations. In Pigs scarcely
any business was transacted. Mulch Cuws were heavy,
at from 15/ to 18/ each.

Majesty's yacht Fairy, which vessel embarked the illus-
trious visitor, and conveyed her to the Isle of IN'ight.
TIPPLING EXTRAORDINARY.—Some few days since
a native of the Emerald Isle, who is by no means a dis-
ciple of Father Mathew, entered the Wheat Sheaf, Pori-
typool, in order to partake of some refreshment, when,
lo! his first draught was three pints of cider, which failed
to satisfy his de,ire; lie then called for some of what he
termed " Old Carpenter's," in other worth, known us
" Carpenter's celebrated old beer," of which he speedily
gulped down six pints, exclaiming at the close, "By the
Pope, I could drink six pints more, it is so good."—Mon-
mouthshire Merlin.
