BIRMINGHAM, AuG. 7.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 2d, there was a large supply of Wheat front
the farmers, and little progress could be made in sales even
by submitting to a reduction of Is. per qr. Barley nesilY
maintained its value, the supply being short. Few Oats
offering, and lower prices were not submitted to. Bate
nominally unaltered. Peas is per quarter lower. During
the present week, the weather being as fine as possible for
the harvest, scarcely a transaction is reported in Wheat'
Barley taken in retail at nearly previous rates. Oats held for
former prices. Beans is per quarter lower. For Peas we
have very few inquiries. At this day's market there was
less supply of Wheat from the farmers, but the trade ruled
dull at a decline of Is to 2s per quarter. Barley 6d to Is per
quarter lower. So few Oats were offering that the currency,
of this day se'nnight was maintained. Beans and Peas belt'
for former prices, but no progress could be made.
EDINBURGH GRAIN MARKET, AUG. 6,.—FOF the
season we had a fair supply of all kinds of grain. Sales were,
exceedingly dull for all sorts. Notwithstanding the excellent,
quality of the wheat, prices fell considerably, likewise barley'

the average is down. Oats on the top Bd, and the average

METROPOLITAN INTERMENTS•

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR.,—Toe only coriclusion to be drawn from the
speech of the Bishop of London, in the House of Lords,
Monday ev, ning, appears to be that the evils whic,4
he deprecates are to be perpetuated, or their removal is
to be postponed until the Board of Health has overcall:2°
all the obstacles presented to their progress rather than
band over the duties of public interment to a cl'wP,,s3'
whom, ho assumes, would not duly provide for the clergy
of the metropolitan parishes. This, happily, is a r°,,lic
assumption, and a groundless one, as tilt; greet public
company" to which he alludes, and • htly, having
been called forth by the del andrigdifficultesef alllb
Board of Health, are not only ready to do once

but have
actually made due and stringent- reservation of those
clerical rights which are unquestionably vested in tho
metropolitan incumbents, and which the Bishop may be
assured the company to which he alludes are as little
disposed to violate as any other board, whether cousn;
tuted by individual enterprise or the more tardy and
costly process of centralization.—l am. Sir. &c.
