THE SEAMAN

to steer me into the haven of success—should he wreck
my hopes, I shall perhaps hoist my colours in the
Minerva " cock-boat."

On paper the Spring Cup looks a "certainty" for
Mary, albeit John Osborne fancies De Ginkol "can't
lose." The Aintree Plate I shall assign to Sir Inwland
Trenchard. Mary and Alfred are the moat noteworthy
names among the nominations for the Sefton Handicap.
On the Hurdle Race and Two-Yoars•Old Stakes I shall
not express an opinion.

A FRESH MAN.

MEMORIAL TO THE LATE DUKE OF SUSSEX.—The
inauguration of the statue of his late Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex, and the opening of the Sussex wing of
the Royal Free Hospital is to take place on the 18th of
June next. Lord Leigh will preside at the ceremony.
THE MILITARY CRIMEAN COMMISSION.—It is rtl-
moored that Combermere, Strafford, Seaton, and Cath-
cart have been named as members of the Court of In-
quiry about to assemble to consider the Crimea❑ report
of Sir John M`Neill. As much of the subject in ques-
tion relates to the cavalry, it is highly desirable that
experienced cavalry officers, such as Generals Brother-
ton, Lovell, Maclean, &c., should be associated with the
above distinguished veterans, to assist them in their de-
liberations.—United Service Gazette.—[Surely this must
be a joke. Lords Strafford and Seaton are each up-
wards of 80 ; the youngest of the whole court (Lord
Cathcart) is 73, and the united term of service of the four
amounts to 249 years, giving an average of 621 years
each. Could not these ♦eterans be allowed to close
their long and honourable career without being dragged
into flitch 84 controversy

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were but mode-
rately supplied with wheat, in which about an average
business was transacted at full prices. For barley there
was a fair inquiry, at previous rates. In other articles,
very few transactions took place.
On the Continent, the corn trade has been somewhat
firmer, and prices have had an upward tendency. The
shipments of grain from the United States have fallen off.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were but moderate. From abroad we received 4,555 qrs.
of wheat, 2,910 barley, 21,666 oats, 1,310 beans, 63 peas,
853 tares, 233 linseed, 901 rapeseed, 20 mustard seed, 250
sundry seeds, and 145 sacks of flour.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market this morning, coastwise and by land carriage, was
moderato and in fair condition, especially the samples
from Kent. The supply on offer was by no means exten-
sive from a good clearance being effected on Friday last,
and the demand for all descriptions was rather slow,
though fine qualities were called firm, at prices quite equal
to those realised on this day se'nnight. Most of the large
millers are still short of stock. At the close of the market
the bulk of the supply of English wheat was unsold.
The show of foreign wheat was moderately good. The
amount of business doing, in all descriptions, was chiefly
in retail. In the quotations] we have no change to
report.

Floating cargoes were considered steady.
With barley, we were fairly supplied, nevertheless the
trade ruled very steady, and last week's prices were well
supported in every instance.

Malt was in fair supply and heavy request, at the late
decline.

The imports of foreign oats having been extensive, the
oat trade was lees active, at barely stationary prices. Very
fine Irish oats were in the market.

There was a fair sale for beans, at last wesk's currency.
White peas wero dull. Grey and maple sold on former
terms.

The flour true was far from active, at last week's cur
rency.
