CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up, to-day, a very,limitecl supply of English wheat
same to hand, coastwise and by land carriage. Although
the show of samples was small, the demand was inactive,
but without leading to any change in prices, compared
with Monday.
Only 360 quarters of foreign wheat have come to band
this week. Good and fine qualities sold slowly at full
prices. Low and damp qualities were much neglected.
We had a steady demand for barley at full quotations.
The transactions in malt were rather limited, bat no
change took place in prices.
Oats— the supply of which was small—were in fair re-
quest at extreme rates.
Beans, peas, and flour changed hands at full prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
The supply of beasts in to-day's market was only mode-
rate, yet all breeds met a dull enquiry at Monday's cur-
rency. We were again scantily supplied with sheep, which
sold slowly at unaltered quotations. Calves were in short
supply and steady request, at an imprevement in value of
2d. per 8 lbs. In pigs, scarcely any business was doing,
and mulch cows were very dull.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—The market has continued very quiet. Common
Congou is quoted 12d to 13d per lb.
&MAR.—A moderate business has been done, and at
public sale considerable quantities of the finer qualities
found buyers at fully former rates. In the refined market
prices are firm, particularly for piezes and wet lumps-
COFFEE.—There was no public sale yesterday, but Plan-
tation Ceylon continues in fair demand, and at firm quota-
tions.

RlCE.—There has been a fair inquiry for most descrip-
tions, and in some instances rather higher prices were
current, fine white Bengal sold for 8s to 9s per cwt.
Rum.—Business has been exceedingly dull and it is dif-
ficult to find buyers, although reduced rates are current.
SALTPETRE.--The market is dull,lbut,a good demand for
the finer qualities is apparent at a slight decline upon pre-
vious rates.

LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE AND TENDER FOR THE PACHA
OF EGYPT.—Messrs. Sharp, Stewart, and Co., of the
Atlas Works, Manchester, have just completed a power-
ful locomotive engine, with tender, which will be sent
off on Monday next for shipment to Alexandria, they
being intended for the special use of the Pacha of Egypt.
The engine has six wheels of 5 feet diameter, 17-inch
cylinders with 24-inch stroke, and 1,167 square feet of
heating surface ; and it is capab!e of drawing, on a level,
600 tons at 20 miles an hour. It is of the kind known
as having inside cylinders, outside framing, and all the
wheels coupled. The tender also has six wheels, each
3ft. 6in. diameter; and while the tank will hold 1,400
gallons of water, there is room on the tender for a ton of
coke. Taken together, the engine and tender are JO
feet long, and in working condition they will weigh 45i
tons. All modern improvements are introduced in the
details of the engine. It is for the narrow gauge, and it
cannot be said to exceed in power some engines already
existing in this country, although the ordinary load for
what is called a pewerful goods engine is from 400
to 500 tons. The new engine and tender are intended
ter use when the Pacha travels in company with a
number of soldiers, or when he is accompanied
by a large retinue, those furnished by Messrs.
