MARKET NEWS.-(TEAS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE--(MONDAY,)
The prevailing fine weather for the growing, or rather
rapidly ripening crops, although there was no new Wheat
here to-day, together with there being every prospect of a
large yield of Wheat, and nearly an average one of Barley,
Oats, Beans, and Peas, had a most depressing influence upon
our Wheat trade this morning. All kinds of English Wheat
were a mere drug ; the factors gave way in price from 2s
to 3s, and in some instances 4$ per quarter. Fine Foreign
was excessively dull, at an abatement in value of from 23 to.
3s per quarter. English Malt at a reduction in value of is
per quarter. Oats at barely previous quotations. Beans is
per quarter less. Peas had a downward tendency. Flour at
a decline of 2s per 280 lbs.

boys went in first and scored 1}.7 runs. Mr. H, Duff and
Brockwell, the Surrey Bowler, keeping up the two ends, Alt.

MILITARY SAVINCW BANKS.—A Parliamentary
paper on the sukjcet of military savings'. banks has been

March, 1844, amounts to 10S ; that the total amount of
( ash deposited therein was 15,0021., the am.aint with-

tors 1,840.
BRUSSELS, JULY 26.—A violent thunder storm
passed over our city to-day, between twelve and one o'clock,
it was accompanied with such torrents of rain that several
streets were for a time impassable. Tile gpassing
along several streets, entered the office of :Messrs. Wanters
and Co., where ten or twelve campo.sitors were at work, and
passing to the roof; threw down a chimney of the newt house.
No person received any injury. The lightning ;eft a strong
