MARKETS. —This day.

MARK-LANE.

Very little English wheat was received fresh up to-day ;
but nearly the whole of Monday's unsold supply was
brought fora ard. Forall kinds the demand was inactive ;
nevertheless previous rates were supported.
The imports of foreign wheat have been only 7,360
quarters. Importers were very firm in their demands.
In prices, however, no change took place.
Floating cargoes of grain were quite as dear as last
week. The arrivals were only moderate.
Over 10,000 quarters of foreign barley having arrived
the sale for that article was restricted, yet prices were well
supported.

Malt was a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The supply
was good.
Oats were quite as dear as on Monday.
Beane and peas, as well as flour, were unaltered in value.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.

Market opens quiet. Sales probably 7,000 or
8,000 bales.

Mr. Wyld has just published, in anticipation of
the Easter Monday Volunteer Review, a capital plan of the
ground at Dover, showing the successive positions of the
attacking and defending forces, the rendezvous, tho routes,
and the ground for the spectators.

NATIONAL DEBT.—Yesterday a return was
issued, showing the amount of the National Debt in each
year since 1854; the increase, diminution, arc. From
1855 to 1857 the debt increased from £801,978,763 to
£831,722,963, and then went on diminishing to
£802,842,949 last year.
THE NEW SUGAR DUTIES.—On and after the Ist
of May, by the Act 30 Vict., c. 10, the following new sugar
duties of excise will be levied : —Refined sugar, 12s. the
cwt. ; not equal to refined sugar, lls. 3d. first class ; 10s. 3:I.
the second class, 9s. 7d. third class, and Bs. the fourth class.
On molasses 3s. 6d. the cwt., and thp same sum on sugar
used for brewing.

DRAUGHT MATCH.—Arrangements are making
at Glasgow for a draught match between James Wylie, of
Leven, and Robert Martins, of Douglass, to commence on
June the 10th. The stakes are £lOO a side, the match to
be 50 games, wins and draws to count.

THE THAMES.—The river is daily getting into
good order for trout fishing. A fine trout of 81bs.
was taken at Chertsey, on Saturday last, by one of the
members of the Thanes Angling Preservation Society.
Another member tried the Haliford waters a few days
since, but only got one touch, which entirely cleared his
bait. In the previous week he was more successful,
having taken two trout of 2ilb., in splendid condition, at
Moulsey, which he believes were of the Thames breed.
This same gentleman, two seasons since, captured nine
large trout out of the preserved waters. J. Seen, of
Chertsey, has taken a trout of Vbs. and one of the same
weight was taken by a gentleman at Sunbury. Tom
Davis, of Moulsey, has been very fortunate with his
patrons, having caught four trout in ono week, the largest
being about 4ilb. The lovers of fish culture will be glad
to learn that the young fry at Hampton are in a healthy
state, and a considerable number have been turned into
the rearing ponds at Sunbury.-- West Surrey Times.
JIOMICIDE.—On Friday evening an old man,
named Jeremiah Twobig, about 60 years of age, employed
as dairyman by a farmer named Lynch, was beaten to death
by three other men on the roadside at a place called Codrum,
about a mile from Ballyvourney. The parties were return-
ing from a fair, when a dispute arose between them, ter-
minating in the death of Twohig and the severe injury of
a man named Kelleher.
STATISTICS OF DRILL—In an article on the new
military organisation, the Temps publishes a curious cal-
culation as to the number of months and days lost to agri-
culture and manufactures by the drill to which the army,
the reserve, and the national guard mobile will be sub-
jected. The result shows a total of 5,663,681 months,
which gives 471,973 years and five months, or 169,910,430
days consumed each year in barrack or depot.
THE BREWER PROTECTOR.---At the sale of the
library of the late IL B. Tinibs, Esq., of Worcester, March 20
the autograph of Oliver Cromwell prefixed to a warrant for
the payment of an allowance to Sir C. Wolseley was
knocked down by Mr. Bentley, the auctioneer, for six
guineas, the purchaser being Mr. Patrick Johnson, solicitor
of London, who, it was stated, is a descendant of the Pro-
tector.—Brewers' Journal.

THE CASE OF STABBING AT EVERTON.—A day or
two ago we reported a case of a sailor named Parsons
having quarrelled with some fishwomen at a beerhouse in
Everton, and that one of the women drew a knife, as did
Parsons, who stabbed one of them. The woman, Bridget
Cannon, has since died from the injuries inflicted on her
by Parsons with the knife. He was brought before the
stipendiary magistrate on Saturday at Liverpool, and was
then remanded for seven days on the charge of stabbing
only. An inquest will be held on the body of the deceased
woman.

DETENTION OF THE MAILS FOR BOMBAY VIA
MARSEILLES.—In consequence of an injury to her ma-
chinery, the mail packet China will be unable to leave Mar-
seilles on the morning of the 20th inst. Tho mails for
Bombay, which, in due course, should be despatched from
London on the evening of the 18th instant, will not be
made up until the evening of Saturday, the 20th instant.
—General Post Office, April 16.
AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS IN ENGLAND.—At
present agricultural prospects are somewhat cheering, from
the upward movement in the value of wheat ; and so soon
as seed-time is over, thrashing will go on favourably,
weather permitting, as the millers aro anxious to secure
the best qualities at market prices, and higher rates are
consequently in the ascendant.—Mark Lane Express.
A COINCIDENCE OF "INSTRUCTION."—Mr. Dis-
raeli's reply to Mr. Locke was a masterpiece of Par-
liamentary sarcasm and rebuke, and probably recalls to the
mind of the honourable member for Exeter an incident
which occurred to him about five and twenty years ago,
and which, perhaps, he bad himself almost forgotten. It
is as fellows :—The late Master of Balliol College- Dr.
Jonkyns—in summing up on some rather damaging and
depreciative reports furnished by the tutors as to the de-
meanour of one of the scholars of the house, who, on
the whole, was deservedly regarded as an ornament to that
body, addressed him in that peculiar croak, which no man
who has ever heard it can either imitate or forget—
" Mister Coleridge, we regard you as a very clever young
man ; we think very highly of you, Mister Coleridge - very
highly indeed—but not ao highly as you do of yourself."—
Essex Gazette.

INTERESTING TO LADIES.—Notwithstanding the nume-
rous preparations for the restoration and improvement of
the Human Hair which are daily put before the public, and
all professed to be infallible, but of which the facts are much
to be questioned, we have now an opportunity of vouching
for the virtues of that long-established ar icle, Rowhnds'
Slainssar Oil. Mrs. J. Hennaby, of Carlton-terrace, Great
Dover-road, became trite bard ; and although not possessing
much faith in any article effecting a restoration of the hair,
was persuaded to give Rowlands' Oil a fair trial ; and, atter
the use of three bottles, she quite recovered it, and now pos-
sesses a beautiful head of hair, of considerable length. The
lady is too much grat fled to withhold the justice due to the
Proprietors of this invaluable preparation.
