THE RELEASE OF MAGUIRE.

The prisoner ➢Maguire, who was one of the first
batch of prisoners tried at the Fenian Commission
lately held at Manchester, for the murder of Ser-
geant Brett, and who on Wednesday received a free
pardon, has addressed the following letter to the
editor of the Manchester Guardian :

" Sir,—l don't know what to say or how to find
words good enough to thank those gentlemen that
have.been so kind to rne. Since I was released this
morning I have been surrounded wherever I went
with scores of people shaking hands with me, and
all so glad to see me set at liberty that I have not a
minute scarcely to myself, and feel so much excited
now as not to know hardly what lam doing. But
I am so wishful to thank from my full heart all the
editors of papers and the gentlemen that got up the
petition for me, and everybody that signed it, or
took any part in getting my pardon, may God bless
and reward them all, will always be my prayer.
Since I was taken up I have prayed hourly to God to
clear up my innocence, and thought it was hard to
be charged with the crime I was, after serving my
Queen and country faithfully between 13 and 14
years, and the Almighty answered my prayers. I
have only one thing more to wish for, and that is
that I may be allowed to return to headquarters,
and serve my time out in the Royal Marines. I
never did anything to disgrace the service, but was
proud to belong to it, and hope my discharge, which
came to me on Sunday, will not be enforced, as I
shall lose 13 years and 147 days' service if it is. I
give my best thanks also to my late commanding
officer, Capt. Jones, of H.M.S. Princess Royal, for
his kind letter. I cannot say any more; my heart
is too full to thank you all as I would like, so be-
lieve me, yours very gratefully,
THOMAS ATIGUIRE."

On being release 1 Maguire was accompanied to
the house of his sister, in Preston-court, Green-
gate, by several hundred persons, who congratulated
him on his discharge.

The convict Allen had an interview on Wednes-
day with two young women—one of whom was
his sister and the other a cousin, to whom, it is
stated, he WAS engaged to be married. Allen re-
peated to them the assurance which he had pre-
viously given to his mother—namely, that he was
innocent of all moral guilt in regard to the mur-
der of Brett, and that the, actual murderer got
away with the two fugitives.

31.4 RKETS—(This Day.)

MARK LANE.

Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with
English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage. Never-
theless, tho demand for both rod and whito parcels was in
a sluggish state. Selected qualities were unaltered in
value ; but damp samples were the turn cheaper.
We were tolerably well, hut not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat. All kinds moved off heavily, at about
stationary prices.
Floating cargoes of wheat were very dull. Barley afloat
was rather cheaper than on Manday ; but maize was held
at full quotations.

The transactions in barley were on a limited scale, at
barely stationary prices. The supply was by no moans
extensive.
The sale for all kinds of malt was in a sluggish state, at
the late decline in value.
Oats wore very dull. In prices, however, no quotable
change took place. The imports were on an average scale.
Beans and peas were bold at Monday's currency ; bat the
inquiry for thorn was not active.
Foreign and country flour was rather cheaper.
