Advices of February 8, from the Cape of Good Hope, state
that the districts of Cradock and Somerset were in a very
critical position. Large bodies of troops and volunteers,
however, were moving up to their assistance, and forts
White and Cox were expected to be speedily relieved.
Doubts are expressed as to the policy of making the services
of the Zoolus available against the Kafirs, as it may teach
them the art of war upon European principles.
At Amsterdam on Wednesday Dutch Stock experienced
very little change. Spanish, however, was sold freely at
lower rates.

Business in the English Stock Market is comparatively
quiet, as the Budget comes on this evening, and the quar-
terly revenue returns will be made up to-morrow. The lat-
ter are expected to be tolerably satisfactory. Consols have
been quoted 961/2 3/4 for Transfer, and 96% 3/4 for Account.
Exchequer-bills have realised 545. to 575., and India Bonds
61s. premium.
Foreign Securities have been at about previous rates.
Mexican Bonds are 33% 3/4 , Peruvian 85%, and Brazilian
88. Spanish Five per Cents. are nominally 21% to %. The
arrival of the Mexican mail may be expected in a day or
two. Portuguese Small Bonds are 37142. Dutch Four per
Cents. are 891/2 to 90.
Railway Shares have been looking up again, and the fact
of the North-Western, the Midland, and the Great Northern
having compromised their traffic dispute, gives confidence.
Still the public should discrimiate. Some I,nes are yet too
low and others too high.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY.)

A fair average supply of English Wheat has been received
up to our market this week coastwise, viz., 2,540 quarters.
The arrivals of that grain fresh up to-day by land-carriage
were very moderate, and of middling quality. On the whole
the attendance of both town and country buyers was toler-
ably good; whilst the demand for all kinds of Wheat of
home produce ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those of
Monday last, and a good clearance was effected. Nearly
8,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand. Selected
qualities moved off readily, at full rates of currency ; and
we had a better inquiry for the middling and inferior kinds.
The show of both English and foreign Barley being sm.II,
that article sold steadily at very full prices. Owing to the
large supply, 7,750 quarters, there was less doing in Malt,
but we have no decline to notice in its value. We had a
steady, though not to say brisk, sale for Oats, at fully the
late advance. Indian Corn and Flour were quite as dear as
on Monday. The imports from France have materially
fallen off.

Although our market to-day was very scantily supplied
with Beasts, at least two-thirds of which were of inferior
quality, the demand for that description of stock ruled
heavy, at barely Monday's prices, the extreme figure for the
best sorts being 3s 8d per Blbs. The number of Sheep was
very moderate, but quite equal to the wants of the buyers,
the trade proving very inactive, at last week's currency.
The best. old Downs, in the wool, sold at 4s 6d to 45 8d ; out
of the wool, 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs. Lambs were in fair ave-
rage supply, and ready inquiry, at full quotations. About
40 were received from the Isle of Wight. Calves and Pigs
were in moderate supply, and heavy inquiry, at late rates.
Mitch Cows were selling off at from 141. to 181. each, in-
cluding their small Calf.

tivity.

TOBACCO.—The same apathy and dulness, approaching
almost to a cessation of business in some descriptions, which
characterised the month of February, have continued during
last month, and we regret to state that the copious remark's
and advice so liberally given by our respected contemporarf
on the Ist ult., have failed in producing an apparent effect 10
the feeling of buyers. American Tobacco of all sorts log
been much neglected, sales not having exceeded 400 W%
and in the absence of business it is a matter of some diP
eulty to give a correct statement of the market ; but in tb°
limited sales effected, and which have consisted chiefly of
and ordinary sorts, both for home trade and for exportationi
a slight reduction in price has been submitted to, but not c
sufficient importance to warrant us in altering our quotation*
which we have resumed accordingly. Holders of good and
fine fine qualities, especially for home trade, appear determined
to wait patiently the revival of demand. Importit
1,780 hhds. Deliveries, 1,022 hhds. against S'S
hhds. in the corresponding month of 1850. SO':
26,553 hhds against 25,240 in 1850, 24,343 hhds in 1849'
29,548 hhds in 1847, and 26,620 in 1846. In Virginia a verl
moderate extent of business has been transacted ; the Pre:.
sent state of the stock, the numerous and concurring accounts
of the great inferiority of the last crops, not having stiul"
lated buyers to purchase except for their immediate wantl6
prices have remained very fim. In Kentucky leaf and striP°
the same indifference to purchase has existed, and the trifli°,g
business done has been almost confined to the lowest quay
ties in the market. Maryland has been in good demand, Ll°
sales may be estimated at nearly 200 hhds. Havannah
bacco has continued in very limited demand; sales daring
the month have been almost confined to a few bales for so,'
portation. Recent advices from Havannah represent therm;
crop abundant and very fine in quality; prices were rule
very high. Havannah Segars of suitable descriptions?
general trade have been taken freely at full rates.
nilla Cheroots in moderate demand; a few cases wale
taken for home consumption; prices steady. Bra
leaf, a parcel of 74 bales, ex Siren, just arrived,
been sampled, and is now on show. In Manilla, Havant's,.
Seed Leaf, Porto Rico, and Florida nothing done. Yarlq;
steady demand at previous rates. In Cuba sales were ma
d°
about 300 bales, nearly all for exportation. St. nonlife/
very little done. In German Leaf a moderate extent 04
business has been done, the principal part in ordinary old fee
cutting purposes; a few small parcels of the new crop ba
arrived, in bad condition, and quite unfit for immediate n7O
Colombian (Ambalema and Giron), sales have been made t°
'
some extent, at full prices; a parcel of roll recently turn:
has been sampled, and has turned out leafy and of g
quality. Amersfoort sales chiefly confined to orelis67:4
sorts for cutting purposes. Stock of old dry description
quite exhausted. For Negro Head and Cavendish derastia.
has been active, taking into account present high pric;lo,
and sales may be estimated at nearly 600 packages; ,;$
stale parcels, which have been floating about the mare
for some time, a reduction of former rates has been submittl'
to; prices for good and fine have been fully supports'
Smalls of good quality in demand.
GREEN FRUIT.—The demand for Oranges has improtil
this week; a parcel of St. Michael's, two of Lisbon, and 011.,
Oporto, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale; St. o,li
chael's want lower, quality being indifferent, and Leto°,
dull of sale. Sound parcels are held for a better mar)t°
Seville Sours are selling freely, but with a heavy loss to t"4
shippers. .1% uts of all kinds dull, but a renewal of (tonsure

named Russeter (committed on a charge of c°o
cealment of birth), who had been upwards of :fr.
months in prison upon a charge which was 'n d•
pable of being supported in any way whatever. His L°„re

so badly written as to be scarcely legible, and did not ren,-.
the highest honour on the state of education of the Ingod
t rates' clerks. In the most serious case in the calendar, „„,
depositions were written so badly that, in order to make 1114
self master of the case, he had been compelled to send
depositions to the clerk of assize to have them copied that
