CORN EXCHANGE.

Fall aver a ,ge supplies of English wheat were on offer in
most of the country markets held on Saturday, and the
demand k it all kinds ruled very inactive, at drooping
prices. Ii 3, spring corn very little business was transacted,
at about 1 )revious rates. In the South of France wheat
has given way in price; and in the other continental mar-
kets the t rade continues heavy. Our American advicos
are very in'activ%

Only lirr cited supplies of English produce arrived in the
port of Lo ndon last week. The imports from abroad were
liberal, vi r.:-24,2.50 qrs of wheat, 1,750 barley, 58,630
oats, 110 r ye, 1,550 beans, 960 peas, 5,270 linseed, 2,140
rapeseed, 1.50 mustard, 1,035 sundry seeds, and 812 sacks
of flour.

Fresh 13 p, to-day, only a limited supply of wheat came
to hand, ei xastvvise and by land carriage. Nothwithstand-
ing that ti is' show of samples was comparatively trifling,
the deman r/ for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled
heavy in the extreme, at a decline in the quotations
realised mx Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. The
general cow!, ,ition of the samples was good.
There wan a very extensive show of foreign wheat, fresh
as well as ea.-granary. All kinds were dull in the extreme
and quite is. to 2s. per quarter lower than last week; in-
deed, the value of some qualities was nominal.
Floating cargoes of grain were very dull.
Both bailey and malt, the supplies of which were rather
limited, n Laved off slowly at barely late rates.
A very llArge quantity of oats was on offer ; nevertheless,
a fair aveirage business was transacted, at about last week's
currency.

Beans end peas sold somewhat steadily, at full quota•
tions.

We had a dull sale for flour, and prices had a downward
tendency.

Our market to-day was fairly supplied with foreign
stock as to number, but its general condition was inferior.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., the arrivals of beasts fresh
up this morning were reasonably extensive, and of full
average weight ; but the receipts from other quarters were
very limited. For all breeds we experienced a slow trade,
at last Monday's quotations. The general top figure for
Scots was 4s 4d per Blbs., but very prima animals realised
4s 6d.

Tha arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, amounted io 2,800 Scots and short horns.
From other parts of England we received 220 of various
breeds ; and, from Scotland, 37 Scots.

There was a good time of year supply of sheep in the
market in fall average condition. Prime Downs
and half-brads, sold readily, at extreme rates. Otherwise,
the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.

Lambs were in good supply, and steady request, at from
6s to 7s per 81b. From the Isle of Wight, 150 came fresh
to hand.

Calves—the show of which was moderate—changed
hands steadily, at full quotations.
- For pigs there was a fair demand, at last week's cur-
rency.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The season for old Potatoes having been brought to a
close, prices are very irregular, and it is difficult to quote
them accurately. The supplies of new potatoes are in-
creasing rapidly,
.and the tale for them is steady, at from
8s to 18s per cwt. Last week's imports were 312 baskets ;
107 tons from Dunkirk, 33 sacks from Calais, and 206
baskets from Rotterdam.

WOOL.
We continue to have a fair demand for most kinds of
English wool, and late rates are freely supported. In
foreign and colonial qualities very little business is doing,
on former terms, Tho stock of colonial wool in warehouse
is now about tO,OOO bales, the whole of wbich will be
offered at the next public sales. Last week's imports
were 143 bales from Bombay, 153 from the Cape, 132
from Rio, and 36 from Constantinople.

SEEDS,
A large business
has boon transacted in linseed, and
prices have steadily improved. Rapeseed is also in good
request, at very full prices. Tares are quite as dear as

" LADY SEAcomc."—The Nord of Brussels contains
the following curious paragraph relative to Mrs. Sea-
cola, of Balaklava notoriety The Belgian steamer
Baron Osy arrived yesterday at Antwerp, from London,
having on board Lady Seacole, who has been decorated
with the order of the Legion of Honour, the English
Crimean medal, and the Medjidie. This lady Was the
companion of the celebrated Miss Nightingale, who had
gone to the East during the war in the Crimea to carry
aid and consolation to the wounded and dying. On the
arrival of the vessel Lady Seacole was adorned with all
her decorations,
