HARBOURS OF REFUGE.

BRIGHTON, MAY 21.—The Government Commissioners ap-
pointed to select a site for the erection of a harbour, or a
harbour of refuge, on the coast, arrived in Brighton on
Saturday, from Newhaven, and after passing one night at the
Albion Hotel, proceeded to London the next day. The de-
putation, which consisted of Admiral Sir Howard Douglas,
Admiral Sir Byam Martin, Admiral Dean Dundas, Lieut.-
Colonel Alderson, R.E., Sir J. H. Pelly, Mr. Robert Raikes,
Captain Sir W. Symonds, Lieut. Colquhoun, Lieut. Westma-
cott (Secretary), Captain Fisher, and Captain Washington,
were landed at Eastbourne on Friday from the Blazer steam-
packet. The deputation left Eastbourne in carriages early
on Saturday morning, and proceeded along the coast as far
as Mr. Catt's Tide Mill, near Seaford, when they alighted,
and walked along the beach to Newhaven Pier, from which
they embarked on board the Blazer, which lay to in the har-
bour. After taking a survey on the bay they landed on the
pier, and proceeded to the °Bridge Inn. Evidence as to the
propriety of erecting breakwaters from Woolnore, to the
westward of Newhaven Piers, and from Seaford Head to the
eastward, was taken from Sir Henry Shiffner, Captain Cole,
Mr. William Stevens, Lieut. Franklyn, and the Commander
of the Lively cutter. The examination occupied between
four and five hours, and was strictly private ; but we under-
stand that the deputation were much struck with the natural
advantages of the bay, of which they had ocular demonstra-

tion during their stay; for owing to the prevalence of a
strong north-easterly wind, 25 vessels, wind bound, had taken
refuge in the bay. From all that has transpired, there is
strong reason to believe that Seaford Bay will be one of the
spots selected by Government for a harbour of refuge. The
deputation is expected to return to Brighton, to embark on
board the Blazer, and proceed to Portland Roads and Plymouth.

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY•
We had rather an extensive time-of-year supply of English
Wheat, while the sale for it was heavy at barely Monday's
quotations. In Foreign Wheat very few sales were reported,
yet the rates were about stationary. Barley and Malt met Is
slow inquiry, yet late rates were supported. All kinds of
Spring Corn sold steadily-, at yery full prices.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were 2,500 bales, all to the
trade. There was no change in prices. Only a small busi-
ness was done in Shares, and the market generally was ilq•
so strong. Birmingham and Gloucester, 90i ; Dublin, and

In the Foreign Stocks but little has been done to-day, al
the quotations will show. The Railway Share market
been rather active, but the prices have had a downward tllen-
dency.
The "Derby " day is, of course, the leading attraction to
City folks, and we have, consequently, but a thin attendance
here, either of merchants or of those connected with the Stock-
Exchange. The produce markets, in Mincing-lane, are
closed, as usual, on this occasion.
The West India Mail is still kept out by the adverse
weather ; but as there now seems to be a change in Olt/
respect, its arrival is hourly looked for.
As stated under this head some days ago, the West India
merchants and planters held a meeting yesterday to petition-
' Parliament against the proposed reductions in the duties
upon foreign sugar, coffee, and cocoa, unless a conteropol,ll.
neous diminution be made in the imports upon colonial
produce. The resolutions passed at the meeting
yesterday savour strongly of the old school of won°•
polies, and in the City was ridiculed by all well-thinking.n2er".

The most important feature in the English Stock
market, to-day is an improvement id the value of Batil

of yesterday afternoon, and of 6 per cent. on the
