THE BLACK PRINCE AGROUND.

The Glasgow .Herald says that on Sunday " this
magnificent vessel was towed safely out of the
harbour. Every precautionary measure was adopted
to ensure success ; and traffic being almost wholly
suspended on the river on Sundays, and the tide
being also favourable, Sunday was selected as
the best day for the undertaking. At 38 minutes
past ten o'clock she left her berth at Mavis-
bank Quay, where she had been lying since
the launch, in tow of nine tugs, disposed of
as follows :—Forward—one tug leading, four tugs
placed abreast, and lashed together, with the Liver-
pool tug Rescue at her bow; aft—one tug on each
quarter, with the fine tug of the Clyde trustees
(the use of which was kindly given by the river
trust) right astern, in order to assist in steering the
vessel, for which purpose she was well adapted,
having disengaging paddles. The day was breezy,
with occasional showers, but there was an excellent
tide. When the Black Prince got fairly under
weigh her fine steering qualities were at once
visible. At 20 minutes past eleven Erskine was
reached, where a fine straight channel had ban
cleared out right in the centre of the river to a
depth of about 22ft. at high water. Bowling was
reached at high water, and at half-past one o'clock
the ship passed Port Glasgow, where a large num-
ber of inhabitants had assembled on the quays to
witness the sight. After passing the Garvel Point
near Greenock, about two o'clock, the vessel got a
little too far south, and grounded forward, sticking
hard and fast. It was confidently expected, how-
ever, that she would be floated off by the next tide.
The Black Prince was beautifully managed in her
downward trip, and everything went off well.
From the moment she was berthed at the Mavis-
bank Quay until she grounded at Greenock her
keel, we are informed, never touched the ground.
She lay afloat at all states of the tide at the New
Quay, as safe and as secure as if she had been in
the finest dock in the kingdom. The Greenock
correspondent of the Herald says :—" Every-
thing seems to have gone well till they reached
that part of the river off Garvel Point where
the channel takes a very quick turn, and
half of it was made • but whether she was drawn
in too far, or whether the strong westerly breeze
acted on her head, and the receding tide took her
by the stern, we cannot say; but the fore part of
the vessel took the ground on the bend of the chan-
nel, a little to the eastward of Mr. Scott's building
yard, and all the efforts of the tugs to draw her
back were unavailing. This was about a quarter'
past two, and the tide had fallen three feet. It is
expected sue will be easily got off at high water
next tide ; and, if so, there is no cause to appre-
hend any further danger, as she is within 500
yards of the harbour."

TIIIS DAY'S 11A1?1(ETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of home-grown wheat on sale here, to-day,
was again very limited, and in by no means first-rate con-
dition. However, the general quality of the samples showed
a slight improvement, compared with several previous
market days. All good and fine parcels sold readily at
fully Monday's improvement in the quotations ; but in-
ferior qualities were a dull inquiry, at previous rates.
A limited arrival of foreign wheat has been reported, but
the show, ex-granary. was large. All descriptions met a
good retail demand, at very full prices.

Floating cargoes of grain were held at fully previous
quotations. _

The barley trade was heavy in the extreme, and prices
have a downward tendency.
Malt changed hands to a limited extent, on former terms.
Oats moved off steadily, and the quotations were well
supparted.

In the value of beans and peas, no change took place.
Most kinds of flour met a steady sale, at full currencies.
