MARKET isigWS.--(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCiiANGE-(FRIDAY.)
The present week's arrival of English Whest up to
our market coastwise have been small, viz, 1,310 quar-
ters. By land -carriage and samp!e the receipts have
fallen ofr. Notwitlntinding our market to-day aas very
scantily supplied with all kinds of Wheat of home produce,
the demand for that grain ruled heavy in the extreme, at
almost nominal currencies. The foreign imports have
amounted to B,oso'quarters-74,000 being from Odessa in
or e vessel. Fine parcels were mostly held at late rates,
but the middling acrd inferior qualities had, in some in-
stances, .a down A ard tendency. Although the shoa; of
Bsrley a as small, the trade ruled heavy, and prices were
not supported. The transactions in Malt were trifling,
at late rates. The, supply was tolerably good. Good
sound Oats were scarce, and quit) as dear; all otLec
kinds were neglested. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and
Flour, unusually heavy.

The supply of Bt asti on offer in our market to-day
was limited as to numter. while its get.eral quality
proved very interior. The few prime Scots, Herefords,
&c., on sale produced fully Monday's qty.tations, with a
steady demand. In all other breeds of Beasts exceed.
ingly little businea;s was transacted, at barely stationary
prices. We were but moderately supplied with Sheep;
nevertheless the Mutton trade was in a very sluggish
state, at unaltered currencies. The top figure for the
best old Downs was 4s 2d per Ma, at which a clearance
was with difficulty effected. Prime small Calves moved
off steadily, at fully late rates; otherwise the Vt al trade
was dull. For Pigs the iuquiry was limited, at our
quotations. Milch Cows sold heavily at from 141 to 181
each, including their small Calf

TIOCICII-1
,
tthoifiriens IN SIN JAMES ROSS'S EXPEDI
e Arctic expedition lately returned was fur-
nished, by the Admiralty with fifteen chronometers of
various makers which, from the tme they left England
until their return, were rated every day,by comparison
and registers kept of their performance. These journals
have noiv been received at the Admiralty, and, accord-
ing to
,them, eight were employed on board the Enter-
prise, *at& seven on board the Investigator. The two
selected; after trials on the voyage, as the. standards were
Lc/set:l,3-i No. I]3, .f)r the Enterprise, and No. 119 by the
same maker for the Investigator ; and it was chiefly by
these that the vessels were navigated home, as neither
the low; And variable temperatures to which they were
exposed, nor the violent shocks the vessels received
from °the ice, materially affected their rates ; fur the
longitude 'as indicated by them was found, on reaching
England, to have been given with great accuracy. Both
then chronometers were of the mercurial construction,
blighted by Mr. Loseby, which has proved so successful
in the trials at the Observatory, Greenwich, for several
years past.
