CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the English wheat on sale in to•day's market was
the refuse of Monday—the fresh arrivals being very limited.
For all kinds we had a slow trade, but without leading to
any farther change in prices.
Foreign wheat was dull in the extreme, and nominal in
value.

There was scarcely any demand for either barley or malt,
at Monday's decline in the quotations.
Oats, beaus, peas, and flour, were heavy, and the top
price of tho latter was Ois per sack.

DISCOVIRY OF VALUABLE IRON ORII NEAR LEEDS.
In excavating for coal at the Rock Colliery, Nippet-lane,
Burmantofts, near Leeds, the proprietors have recently
discovered a ♦ery valuable seam of iron ore, which is
said to be a continuation of the Low Moor seam. This
iron ore the proprietors of the colliery have been sup-
plying to the Low Moor Iron Company, and its quality,
on being duly tested, was found to be the same as that
of the Low Moor bed. The Farnley Iron Company
have just purchased 100 acres of land in the neighbour-
hood, and are uow driving a shaft to get the mineral.
It is anticipated that the smelting of the stone will be
effected on the spot by the Farnley Iron Company,
which has the merit of considerable enterprise, and, if
so, a very great development of traffic and labour will
take place in this already thriving part of the town.

NOVELTY IN BANKnurcv.—At the Liverpool Bank-
ruptcy Court yesterday, at the dividend meeting in
re Thomas Walker, formerly proprietor of the Clare-
mont Hotel in that town, Mr. Frodsharn, attorney
for the assignees, congratulated the creditors on the fact
that through the instrumentality of the Bankruptcy Court
they would not only receive their debts in full but interest
likewise. Mr. Commissioner Perry said there had been
several similar eases in the court recently. Walker, the
bankrupt, absconded to America some time ago. It
was thought he had committed suicide, as the mangled
remains of a man, supposed to be Walker, were found,
soon after he absconded, on one of the local lines of
railway. It has since been ascertained that he went to
America.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A SENTRY.—A detachment of
the 2d Reeinient of Grenadiers of the Garde Imp6riale
was on duty, two day. ban', in the „e pi,nt
Tournant (the principel entrance of the gardens of the
Tuileries). In the night, a corporal with some mon
went out to relieve the sentinels, and ha was greatly
surprised, on approaching one who had been placed
on the terrace, riot only not to Lear from him the
usual cry of " Qsi vire?" but even net to receive an
answer to his own challenge. Going to the sentry-box ho
found no one, and on looking about he discovered the
sentinel lying flat on the ground without movement. He
caused him to be removed to the guardhouse, but a medi-
cal man who was called in declared that he had died of
apoplexy. The man, named Heyraud, who was only 26
years of age and very strongly built, had not complained
of any indisposition.
SOCIETE FRANCAISE DE BIENEAISANCE.—The 15th
annual ball in aid of this:institution took place at the
Hanover-square Rooms on Monday evening. According
to usual custom, the committee of the society organised
lottery, which was drawn for during the evening.
Amongst the principal prizes were several very beautiful
presents from the princesses of the Royal family of
Orleans, who have been, since the foundation of the so-
ciety in 1842, its most nonoificent supporterv. The
Duchess d'Aumale coniributed a very valuable neck-
lace, of Vienna workmanship ; and :the Princess de
Joinville a gold-mounted " Nevessaire Fumeur,"
both of which were greatly admired. The Prince de
Conde, and the other members of this Royal Awl tru'y
charitable family, forwarded contributions.
THE STEAMER BELGlQUE,—Yesterday the water was
let into one of the large Southampton Graving Docks,
where the Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship
Candia was lying, and she was floated out unfinished, in
order to allow the Royal Belgian Inaibpacket Belgique
to enter the dock, to be surveyed. This unusual course
was pursued in consequence of the anxiety of the Royal
Belgian Mail-packet Company to have the ship examined.
Owing to the company not having applied to Lloyd's in
time to have her registered, their surveyor at South-
ampton could not report upon her officially. The three
surveyors ultimately fixed on to examine the Belgique
were Messrs. Ronals, Summers, and Rubie. They
finished the survey at 5 o'clock last evening, and imme-
diately commenced preparations for making out their re-
port. A communication from Southampton informs us
that their report was finished at 7 p.m. It is a favourable
one, the leading feature of it is a recommendation, in
order that all future doubt about the strength of the
vessel may be removed, that her sides be fortified by
stronger plates between the upper and lower docks, and
that the large cargo port holes be entirely closed up and
made a part of the ship's sides.
A letter from Berlin of the Ist, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" We learn from a good source
that the Western Powers have an intention of
crowning the work of the Paris congress by a com-
mercial treaty with Russia, in which the latter is
to modify her customs tariff in favour of those
Powers. We presume that such a modification
cannot take place without advancing the interests
of Germany. It is, however, satisfactory to see
the Western Powers profiting by this occasion to
open a breach in the prohibitive system of Russia."
A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" The fol-
lowing curious judgment of a Court-martial, pro-
nounced on the 27th ult., has just been published:
—' The sub-cornet of the Finland regiment of Cos-
sacks, battalion No. 15, Biberdoff, descendant of
the Prince of Caucasus, has been condemned for
robbery to the loss of his princely dignity, to de-
gradation, and to be incorpo in attnndeiro" b
