MAR,KET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of English wheat in to-day's market was very
moderate, and in poor condition. The attendance of mil-
lers was far from numerous, and the demand for all kinds
of wheat of horde produce was in a sluggish state, at Mon-
day's currency.

Only 2,120 qrs. of foreign wheat have come in, yet the
show of samples, ex-granary, was extensive. Only a
limited business was passing, but we have no change to
notice in the quotations.
Floating cargoes commanded very little attention.
There was a slight improvement in the demand for bar-
ley, but malt met a dull inquiry, on former terms.
The show of oats was ouly moderate. The trade, how-
ever, was inactive, at Monday's prices. Beans, peas, and
flour moved off slowly, on former terms. The imports of
American flour have been large.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-<YESTERDAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-
sack at five o'clock.
NEW PEER.
_ _

Lord TALBOT DE MALAHIDE took the oaths
and his seat as a peer of the realm. The noble lord was
introduced by Lord Monteagle and Lord Massarene.
REMOVAL OF TROOPS FROM GREECE.
Lord CLANRICARDE, seeing the noble earl the
Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs in his place,
begged to ask him a question on a subject which he had
seen in the newspapers, namely, the withdrawal of the
troops from Greece, and also the appointment of a com-
mission to inquire into the future management of the
finances of that country. He wished to know whether
the statement was correct, and also whether there would
be any objection to lay on the table a copy of the corre-
spondence which had taken place on the subject, in
order that their lordships might know the exact situation
of affairs. _ .

The Earl of CLARENDON said he was glad to have
an opportunity of answering the question put to him by
the noble lord. „It was perfectly correct that troops
.had been sent to Greece during the war in consequence of
the hostility of that country towards the Western
Powers. It was agreed to by the Governments of
France and England to send a small force to the Pirxus
to check the proceedings which had been complained of.
The measure had been quite successful, as the troops
had never been moved from the Piraeus. The war
being over there was no reason why they should
not be withdrawn. In the course of last autumn the
Greek Government laid before the protecting powers a
statement of the expenditure of Greece, which offered
to pay, in small annual instalments, the interest on
the loan guaranteed by the three powers, and
which, up to the present time, had been ex-
clusively paid by them ever since the loan was
made. The Greek Government suggested that
perhaps the three powers would prefer, instead of receiv-
ing this small instalment, that it should be applied to
the development of the revenues of the country. That
pri position was ❑ot agreed to, as the Greek Government
challenged an inquiry into the state of its finances. It
was proposed by the two Governments that a commis-
sion, comprising the representatives of the three
powers, should inquire into the character of
the financial statement laid before them by
the Greek Government. This statement was laid before
them as creditors. The Russian Government was con-
nected with it, entirely approved of the proposal, and ex-
pressed a wish to take part in the commission. A littl,l
delay had arisen by the correspondence which took
place as to the duties and duration of the commission.
That commission was accepted in the most frank
manner by the Greek Government. The proposition
was made in the most friendly spirit to the Government
of Greece, without the slightest intention of interfering
with the internal affairs of the country, and that it
should not last beyond the time specified. He believed it
would render the most essential service to Greece,
in assisting the carrying out certain financial reforms,
which, without assistance, the Greek Government would
never be able effectually to carry out. The com-
mission would be established in a few days, and the best
effects were anticipated to the interests of Greece, as it
would put an end to the struggles with which that
country was afflicted. With respect to the correspon-
dence it was at present going on between the Govern-
ments of France and Russia with respect to the duties of
the commission, and before it was established he thought
it would be premature to lay any portion of it on the
table of the house. _ _ .
