The arrivals of all sorts of Grain this week are tolerably good.

In other Grain very little business has been doing, and we note
no alteration. Flour unvaried.

The wheat in the fields in the hilly parts of
Gloucestershire is looking very thin in the blade, and very
scanty. In Berkshire the wheat is looking remarkably
well ; and, in consequene.e of the last few fine days, the
farmers are very busy ploughing far and sowing their
barley. In the former county the season has been hitherto
very favourable, and a little fine weather would do a great
deal of good.

Sir-J. St. ALTBIN, Bart., is about to intro-
duce the system of allotments on his demesne at Clow-
ance, and the Rev. W. GRYLLS, the vicar of Crowan, has
already carried it into effect, most successfully, on a por-
tion of the glebe land.—Cornish Paper.

A vessel, the Trafalgar, has just cleared out
of this port, bound for America, and laden with potatoes.
Thus the " land of potatoes" sends back to that country
whence they were first obtained the root which Cormarr
calls the " accursed ;" and to the successful culture of
which be attibutes much of the misery which unhappily
exists among us. —Limerick Herald.

TRADE OF LEEDS.--There has not been so
much business in either of the Cloth Halls this week, as
for some months past, nor do we hear of goods in the
finished state having gone off so well. Business in woollens
in London and Ireland has not been steady fos some time,
and this market depends, to a considerable degree, on both
p laces. —Leeds Mercury.
STUFF WEAVERS.—We have the pleasure
to find that the disputes which have existed in this town,
for nearly three months, between one of the principal
stuff-manufacturers and his weavers, are amicably adjusted,
and that the workmen have, by a unanimous vote, deter-
mined to adopt a scale of prices somewhat lower than Mr.
GREEN originally proposed, under a persuasion that they
are not making a sacrifice, but obtaining an advantage by
this regulation. To obviate future differences, the parties
have agreed to refer any disputes that may arise as to the
rate of wages, to a Committee of Arbitration, consisting
partly of weavers, and partly of their masters.—Leeds
Mercury. _ _

A small and elegant steam-vessel, apparently
about 40 or 50 tons, intended to ply between this city and
Bristol, made her first trip on Wednesday last, and ar-
rived at the Old Bridge about 4 in the afternoon. She
is named the City of Bath. An accident occurred to a
man on board which might have been attended with much
more serious consequences. The steamer has two iron
guns on board, one of which had been fired by way of
salute, and the man was loading the other, and ramming
down the charge with an iron bar, when the charge sud-
denly exploded in his face, the whole of which is fright-
fully burnt, and the bar has also severely injured the left
hand.—Buth Journal.

By a decision of Mr. HALLS, one of the
Magistrates of Bow.street-office, on the 2d instant, in a
case from the parish of St. Martin-in-the. Fields, any
member of a Dissenting Congregation is liable for the
parochial rates of the chapel he attends, and his goods
may be distrained for the same. In the case here referred
to, the party summoned was not a trustee, nor bad he
any right or title to the chapel property whatever.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET.—The at-
tendance on Monday was unusually numerous, gourds of
low quality met ready sale, but those of a better description
were little in demand.—Leeds Mercury.

EXETER, APRIL 3.—Within the last fort-
night a small brass medal has been found in a field re-
cently ploughed up near Glastonbury. The obverse re
presents a venerable half-length figure of St. Patrick,
attired in a cope, with a rich mitre o❑ his head ; his right
hand is raised in the act of blessing ; his left supports the
archiepiscopal cross. The inscription is "S. Pate. Vet.
Scotize Sev. Hiber. Ap." The reverse presents the half-
length figure of an Abbess, holding a lily in her right
hand, and the crosier turned from her, resting on her left
shoulder, with this inscription, " S. Brig. V. Hiber. SS.
Insvlse. Pat." St. Bridget, or Bride, died about the
middle of the sixth century.
A few days ago a ewe with lamb, belonging
to Mr. COOK, of Broom, near Durham, having rolled on
its back, and being unable to recover its feet, was attacked
by a fox, which commenced devouring the poor animal
about the hind quarters, and had actually eaten the flesh
away as far as the loins, but, being surprised, he sud-
denly made off. The poor ewe was taken home, and
shortly after lambed two fine lamas, which are at present
in a thriving state, and it is thought the ewe will survive
her injuries.—Newcastle Chronicle.
A BOAT SWAMPED BY A STEAMER.--
NARROW ESCAPE PROM DROWNING OF TWELVE PER-
SONS.—On Monday evening, about half-past six o'clock,
a wherry, containing no fewer than twelve persons, who
were on their way to Greenwich Fair, met with the Royal
Adelaide, a large steam-ship from Scotland, coming up
the stream; and the vessel, which was proceeding at a
very rapid and dangerous pace, had not passed them more
than a few seconds, whe❑ the heavy swell caused by her
velocity washed over the boat, which was very deep in the
water, and she instantly went down, stern foremost, im-
mersing the whole party in the stream. The river was
covered with small boats, laden with the holyday folks,
who rendered all the aid in their power, and ten of the
company were picked up by them, while the remaining
two were saved by a Thames police galley. The sufferers,
of whom several were females, were nearly all insensible.
They were conveyed to a room in the Thames Police-
office, where they received every attention, and ultimately
recovered. Several of the party lost articles of dress and
other property. Yesterday, Mr. JUDGE, a Thames Po-
lice surveyor, waited on Captain MILL, the master of the
steamer, by order of the Magistrates, to demand some ex-
planation of his conduct, in navigating such a large steamer
so rapidly in a stream covered with boats. The Captain
expressed his regret on hearing of what had happened, and
said, he gave directions to the pilot to be careful, on ar-
riving off Greenwich, and avoid injuring the boats pro-
ceeding to the Fair. PLACK, the pilot, on being applied to,
said he was quite unconscious of the accident until that
moment. —The Royal Adelaide always causes a very
heavy swell, whether she proceeds fast or slow, i❑ the
Pool ; but on this occasion her speed was very rapid, and
the water dashed over the Police galley—a boat nearly
twice as heavy, and as large again, as the wherry.
LEEDS MEETING ON CORPORATION RE-
FORM —Oa Monday, at noon, a public meeting of the
inhabitants of the borough of Leeds was held at the Court-
house, for the purpose of determining on the propriety of
petitioning Parliament to open all close municipal corpora-
tions. Mr. J. A. BUTTREY, the senior Churchwarden,
who had become deservedly popular by the pecuniary re-
forms he had effected in the administration of the parish
funds, was called by acclamation to the chair. Several
appropriate resolutions were passed, after which the inert-
ing dispersed.

THE TEA TRADE..—The commercial ad-
vices received from New York the day before yesterday,
bring information that the first ~:.iesof teas had taken place
there just before the accoonis left, since the whole of the
duties had been taken off the article by the American
Government. From the following statement of the re-
sult of the sales referred to it will be seen that the prices
of teas in America are greatly below those in this country.
Five public sales had taken place at New York, consisting
of 8,600 packages. The finest Hyson was sold
at from 71 to 101 cents per pound. Young Hron
from 661- to 80 cents, and common Hysons from 661
to 76 cents per pound. Pekoes sold at 28 to 66 cents ;
Souchougs, 23 to 39 coats per pound ; and Boheas from
16 to 20 cents per pound. In the currency of the
United States, 100 cents are equal to the dollar, valued
at about 4.. 4d. At the last sale of teas by the East India
Company, the finest Hysons sold at from 4s. to s+. 6d. ;
ilysons, from 3s. to 3s. 4id. ; Hyson Skin, at 2s.
to 2s. 3d. ; Seuchongs, at from 2s. 2d. to 44 .3d. ;
and Boheas at from Is. 911. to Is. ltd. per pound with-
out the duty, which is 100 per cent. on all teas sold by
tile Company at and above 2s. per pound ; and 9E; per
cent, on all teas sold under 21. per pound.
