CORN EXCHANGE.

In the leading country markets held on Saturday wheat
sold somewhat steadily at the late decline in the quotations.
Barley was dull, and prices had a downward tendency ; but
in oats, beans and peas, as well as in flour, very little
change took place.

The French markets have continued heavy, at drooping
currencies. At New York a large business has been trans-
acted in wheat and dour, with moderate sale for export,•at
higl.er prices.

The arrivals of English grain up to our markets last
week wete moderate. From abroad we received 13,557
quarters of wheat, 1,100 barley, 25,804 oats, 900 beaus, 447
peas, 2,150 linseed, 968 rapeseed, 35 maize, 470 sundry
seeds, and 2,102 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this mornings market, the receipts of Eng-
lish wheat were less extensive than on Monday last. Al-
though the demand, both for red and white qaalities,
exhibited no activity, yet, compared with this day
so'nnight, there was decidedly a better feeling in the trade,
and an advance of Is per quarter took place in the quotations.
With foreign wheat we were fully supplied. On the
whole the demand ruled steady, but by no means active, at
last week's currency.

CLOSE OF THE POLL.

In floating cargoes of grain sales progressed slowly, yet
prices were fairly supported.
The trade for barley was heavy, and the quotations gave
way ls. per quarter.

Malt moved off slowly. In its value, however, no quot-
able change was observed.

Good and fine oats were in steady request, at quite previous
rates, Inferior qualities, however, sold slowly on forme r
terms,

For beans the demand ruled very inactive, and in some
instances prices ruled in favour of buyers.
In the value of peas, very little change took place. The
inquiry for them, however, was far from active,
Most kinds of flour met a limited sale, yet the quotations
were maintained.

On Saturday, on the occasion of the final close of the
poll, a number of electors assembled in the Guildhall. At
four o'clock the poll clerk closed the books amidst some
slight cheering.
Mr. NOTTIDGE then came forward and said, on behalf of
the committee who had conducted the election on the
part of the Lord Mayor, he begged to thank the livery
for the triumphant manner in which they had re-
turned him at the head of the poll. 110 thought there never
was an election for Lord Mayor which so clearly showed
the expression of public opinion. A band of
gentlemen, without the slightest pretensions to
electioneering tactics, had, he was happy to say,
cairled their cause to a successful issue, opposed as
they had been by a talented and well organised electioneer-
ing -
body. The Lord Mayor's election had been brought
about without the aid of a single paid canvasser, end he
had been returned by a majoilty of over 1,000. He had
also the happiness of informing them that they had returned
the Lord .Mayor free of expense—(Cheers)—as not one
farthing of the expenses would come out of b=s pocket, and
the committee intended to present the honour to the Lord
Mayor as an expression, on the part of the lively of Lon-
don, of the manner in which he fulfilled the functions of his
office during the year coming to a close. It was important
during the ensuing year, which would be a very eventful
one, that a man of good sound common sense for their •
chief magistrate should be appointed, and the gentleman
who world fill that office was all that could be
desired. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) He was not a man
who had been dropped on fortune's hill—his honour had
been to mount it—(cheers)—and they might rest assured
that the Lord Mayor would add additional honour to the
office they had conferred upon him. (Cheers.)
The following numbers were then exhibited as the final
state of the poll :

Mr. Potter, of Farringdon-street, said he lid not th;iik
that the manner in which the election had been conducted
reflected much credit on the livery of London. He had yet
to learn what the Lord Mayor had done to merit his elec-
tion to a second year of office.

The speaker continued his remarks, but before ho had
come to a conclusion the whole of the assembly had quitted
the hall.
