LIVERPOOL, JAN. 25.—The arrivals from Ireland and
coastwise, since Tuesday, have been considerable of oats
and oatmeal, but trifling of other articles. From foreign
ports a fair supply of wheat, Indian corn, flour, and
beans has come forward. The exports in the same time
have been inconsiderable. The trade has continued in
the same dull and inactive state as II( t3d in our last, and
with t'-e exception of a few transactions in Indian corn
at fill prices, there has been hardly an3t:iing doing.
The weather is now mild and open. At this day's
market tt ere was only a thin attendance a the trade,
and so little business resulted as to render it unneces-
sary to alter our Tuesday's quotations; however, Lai
bui ors shown any disposition to snake purcia-es in any
article, some reduction would have been reaiily sub-
mitted to.
EXETER, JAN. 25.—Cattle Market—The supply of
boasts to-day was pretty fair, bet fewer sheep were
penned than has been known for many months. We
note but little difference in, quotations, the best fa'. beef
made 9s per score, the price ranging from that figure
down to Bs. Barreeers in good condition were worth 53
per score. Cows and calves, 81 to 121125. A taw steers
were driven in, which sold at 161 to 271 per pair.
Butchers' calves, sid to 6d per lb. Nut above 250 sheep
were driven in—fat wethers sold at sid; and ewes, 5d
per lb. There was a tolerable good supply of store pigs.
Pork Carcases—A pretty good supply, larger than that
of last week, prices were however lower. Large coarse
pigs sold at 6s per score; middling quality. 6s 61 ; very
good pigs, 7s to 7s 3d; and small dairy fed pork, 7s 3d
to 7s 6d per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s to 8s; geese,
5s to 6s each; ducks, 4s to 54 6d; fowls, 2a 9d t 43;
pheasants, 5s to 6s; partridges, 2s 6d to 3s; woodcocks,
4s; snipes, 10e1 to ls; wild ducks, 4s 6d to 5s per couple;
hares, 3s each; rabbits, 23 per couple ; butter, is to is
Id per lb; eggs, 12 for Is; potatoes, 8d to 9d per score ;
turnips, 4d ditto; carrots, 10d ditto; anions, 121 b for is.
Corn Exchange—One o'Clock—Samples have been
shown pretty fully, but the millers have manifested
no anxiety to buy, and but little business has been
done. The highest price we have heard given is five
shillings per bushel for the best warranted wheat, and
wheat a good quality has been sold at 4s 10d. Malt-

. ---
~ .
ing barley, 35 to 35 2d per bushel; oat=, is Oil to 2s.
Fine flour, 27s 6d to 29i f,e. sack, but most if the pur-
chases were made at 28s. The very low price if Eng-
lish wheat has driven foreign wh(at entire y out of the
marke.

BRISTOL, JAN. 24.—Great inactivity hal marked the
trade in corn, and a further decline in price where sales

for wheat, barley, &e., remain but li tle varied. English

white sold at 45s to 50s; foreign red, fine quaLt.es, 38s

lish malting and grinding; EnrOish and foreign sold at
203 to 21s 61 per 400:bs. Oats—Devons and IVrlsh

THE FIRE AT BUCHANAN-11-OUSE.
Ai briefly announced in Thursday's pap&r, 3 ""
structive fire took place on Monday last in this fine
old monsior, the Scottish seat of the Duke of 310"
trose, situated in the parish of Buchanan, Stirling"
shire, on the banks of Ltchlomoncl. The flamer were
observed to proceed from the top story of the 01l or
original hou,e, which is flinked by modern wi"l4s*
Mr. Jolly, the land sieward of his Grace, was in
niediate attendance; the: alarm bell was rung "f
hundreds instantly congregated from the village
Drymen and the adjacent farms, as well as the w(t.l,
pAtple of the Duke, but their efforts were unavallii,p
for it was found that all the cisterns and the pipes
coinmunicating with them, were frozen up ; there
no firo•engine on the premises, and water cord.' on.Y.

furniture, however, in other parts a the
especially including the plate, and family and t".:(1
paintings—with which the old house Was ern-IJc,
and adorned—were happily saved by the winijing t;
ertions cf the people. The handsome billiard to
was also rescued from the burning building ; s!'d
believe that•very li:tle of the library has ember lee
lost or suffered damage. When Mr. Jolly slibv
all the efforts to save the centre and main porttL%-v
of the fabric would be ineffectual, he set himself,
