THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, Mancir 25.—The arrivals, with exception of
flour from America, have been small this week. Having a
good attendance at market to-day, wheat was in fair request,
and most qualities commanded an advance of fully 2d per 70
lbs en the rates of that day week. Flour was in good demand,
at an improvement of 6d per barrel and per sack. Oats were id
per 45 lbs, and oatmeal 3d to 4d per lb dearer. Beans and peas
6d Per qr dearer. Barley and malt in retail demand, and with-
out'change in value. Indian corn in good request, and the
turn dearer.
LEEDS, MARCH 25.—The arrivals of grain were moderate.
We continued to experience a steady sale for all fresh qualities
of English wheat at rather improved prices. Barley brought
fully as much money. Oats, shellings, and beans were each a
trifle dearer.
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET, MARCH 25.—The supply
of wheat of all descriptions to this day's market was small.
Trade ruled exceedingly firm at Saturday's prices ; indeed, in
some instances rather more money was obtained. Malting
barley Lair sale, and a shade higher. Flour was held for mere
money. In other articles, no change.
NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 25.—The sup-
ply of fat cattle at to-day's market was about the same as on
last Tuesday. The quality was exceedingly good, and trade
tolerably active, yet prices ruled in favour of buyers, and part
remained unsold. The number of sheep was 300 less than
last market day. Trade brisk for all sorts at full rates, and
the whole taken off quickly. Number of beasts, 200 ; corres-
ponding week last year, 943. Sheep, 3,030 ; corresponding

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THEWEEK

(From the Registrar-General's Return.)
The aggravated rate of mortality in London, which
marked the first two weeks of the current month, has
prevailed without abatement in the period embraced by
the present return. The deaths, which increased to 1,247
in the beginning of March, and subsequently rose to
appears
18 that4s (in thea
week higl lest
when numberthe
meanws
1,401, amounted in the week ending last Saturday to
1,412. Taking for comparison the 10 corresponding
weeks
19ernperature bad fallen about. 10 degmes lower
than usual), and that the average mortaility was 997.
This average, if corrected according to the supposed
,t °f
18a4nd1-5 occurredo it
i
rate of increase in the population, amounts to 1,088;
and the increase above it exhibited in last week's return
is 324.
