however, the integrity of Denmark, the rights of
Schleswig, the cupidity of Holstein, and the general
quietude of the European continent are far from
being dependent upon the whims of a few
German statesmen, or upon the infatuation
of two or three confederated principalities. Against
any such preposterous notion the Liberal Monarchy
of England has now raised its ♦oice loudly, min-
gled with the coincident voices of the Swedish
Cabinet, the Russian despotism, and the French
democracy. Against this formidable unanimity
the " paper pellets" of the Austrian and Prussian
diplomatists must fall altogether powerless. The
Governments at Berlin and Vienna may continue
restive for some time longer, but ultimately they
will find themselves compelled, however reluc-
tantly, to yield to the indignant resolution of four of
the great Powers of Christendom. More especially
must this, as we have already intimated, prove the
inevitable consequence of the recent protocol initialled
on the 4th of July, and formally signed on the 2d of
August, bearing in mind the contemporaneous suc-
cesses secured by the Danish forces to the Government
at Copenhagen.
Nothing whatever by this time remains to be
said in illustration of the justice of the claims
put forward by Denmark, in opposition to those of
her unprincipled antagonists. Every argument bear-
ing upon the 'question so long at issue has
not only been given by ourselves with the utmost
possible particularity, but each of these arguments
has again and again been subjected to the closest
analysis with an iteration ac painstaking as monoto-
nous. Nevertheless, before leaving this subject of the
protocol, we may perchance not inappropriately direct
the attention of all those who are in any degree in-
terested in these transactions to the casuistry
observable among the apologists of Prussian in-
trigue. It will be remarked above all that
the advocates of this atrocious war against
Denmark are perpetually harping upon the rights of
independence generally appertaining to the Duchy of
Schleswig-Holstein. Tne phrase, in point of fact, is
nothing more than a mere sophistical absurdity. To
be plain, those rights of independence said to be-
long to the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein are
wholly and entirely incomprehensible, seeing that no
such duchy as Schleswig-Holstein has ever been i❑
existence. There is a duchy called Holstein,
and another duchy called Schleswig, but a
joint duchy entitled Schleswig-Holstein is
a mere myth and unreality, existing solely in the
avaricious depths of some Prussian or other Ger-
man imagination. To talk, therefore, of the rights
of independence appertaining to the Duchy of Schles-
wig-Holstein is to do nothing more nor less than to
talk nonsense and prevaricate. To say that Den-
mark cannot justly assume to itself, as an
integral portion of its continental dominions,
the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein is wilfully to per-
vert the claims advanced by that Monarchy,
and to involve in obscurity the actual boundaries of
its dominions. Denmark, in truth, never has pre-
tended to claim as one of its integral portions this same
hypothetical or supposititious Duchy of Schleswig-
Holstein. Holstein it has all along regarded and treated
as one among the confederated states of Germany.
Schleswig, and Schleswig alone, has been claimed by
Denmark as an integral portion of the Danish do-
minions. The struggle, in short, has been, nut a
struggle on the part of Denmark to wrest
Holstein from its alliance with the German Confede-
ration, but a struggle on the part of the insurgents of
the latter duchy, aided by their confederates in Ger-
many, to wrest Schleswig from the possession of
Denmark. Against this flagrant attempt at territo-
rial theft the inexorable judgment of the French,
Swedish, Russian, and British Governments
has pronounced its stern fiat of indignation.
Prussia and her German accomplices stand
before the bar of European opinion formally
impeached of treason attempted against the rights of
Christendom. Added to the disgrace of their crime,
is the shame of its unwilling expiation. The robbery
adventured upon against Denmark has been simulta-
neously prevented by the victory gained at Idstedt
and by the protocol signed at London. The double
advantage thus secured to the Danish Monarch can-
not fail to carry confusion to the councils at Berlin,
and the fullest confidence and joy to the Government
at Copenhagen.

It has been long since admitted that the House of
Commons could claim but little confidence in its
judicial capacity. Its decisions on the claFs of cases
that usually come before it—election petitions—were
so proverbially uncertain, and frequently erroneous,
being based on no fixed or ascertained rules, but de-
termined rather according to party bias than the
principles of justice and equity, that it was deemed
essential to change the constitution of the tribunal,
and to refer all disputed questions to Select Com-
mittees, whose decisions should be final and conclusive
on.such points. The change was undoubtedly effected
during the good old time., when Garton and Old
Sarum sent each two Members to the popular branch
of the Legislature, while Manchester and Birrning
ham were unrepresented, when a demand for reform
was considered a species of petty treason, and when
" purity of election" was deemed an Utopian aspira-
tion that could never be realised. But although the
constitution of the House. has been extensively altered
by a large infusion of the democratic element,
and although some degree of respect must
now be paid to the voice of public opinion, the House
is still but little qualified to discharge the judicial
functions fairly or impartially. Its chief defect in
that respect is that " the judges" are too numerous ;
many of them, indeed a large majority, being altoge.
then ignorant of the true principles of legal interpre-
tation, will pin their faith on some recognised leader,
and vote according to his dictation, rather than the
real merits of the case. And thus a question of no
ordinary importance will be this day decided—
a question involving not merely the rights
and' privileges of such of our fellow-
subjects as may profess the Jewish religion, but
those of the citizens of London—one of the
most important, if hot the most important of the
' constituencies of the British empire—and what
is, - perhaps, of deeper interest than either,
the character and reputation of a body of which
Englishmen have been in many particulars justly
proud, and of which they have been accustomed to
boast as "the first legislative assembly in the world."

The issue, although of such vital importance, is
really perfectly simple. The question between the
first resolution of which the Attorney-General has
siveo notice,, and to which we directed the public
attention on Friday last, and the counter proposition i
about to be brought forward by the veteran Member
for Montrose, the zealous, honest, and consistent
Josura Hum g, , merely hangs ,on the concluding
words of the oath of abjuration, "on the true faith
,of a Christian"—whether they are to be regarded as
matter ," of form" or "of substance," a portion of
things sworn to or sworn by, a part of the adjuration
intended to give additional solemnity to the oath, or
,a solemn pledge in itself to show that the person pro-
fesses the Christian faith ? If ajust and liberal deci-
sion should be arrived at—if a judgment should be
fiven such as we' have no hesitation in say-
ing any court of law or equity would pronounce
on- the premises, the matter will at once be disposed

sideration of the House. If,should be
otherwise, then " the penalty" he is to endure for
his contumacy, so far as the same comes within the
jurisdiction of the House, must be apportioned. His
seat must either be declared vacant, and a
new writ issued for the city of London, or
he must be debarred from voting or sitting
until he shall comply with the objectionable form,
using an adjuration which he declares Not to be bind-
ing on Lia conscience, or until an Act of Farliament
be passed to relieve him from the penal consequences
of worshipping his CREATOR in the manner which in
his heart and soul he deems most fitting.

and the vacillation and apathy of the Government. Ac-
cordingly, a resolution that would lead to the vacation
of the seat has been sedulously avoided by Sir JOHN
ROMILLY, although on Tuesday last he declared his
opinion to be, that, "if Baron ROTHSCHILD abso-
lutely refund to take the oath of abjuration, the seat
became vacant." The Right Honourable Gentleman
has thus been compelled to steer a middle course,
which he unhesitatingly declared to be far more dis-
creditable to the Government than if the extreme
penalty insisted on by the advocates of bigotry and
intolerance had been fully enforced.
The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, the Member
for Oxford, whose learned and able arguments on
this interesting case have never been adequately
answered, clearly and distinctly proved, not only that
the disputed words were part of the " adjuration"
or "thing sworn by," but he even showed that the
House itself had so decided in the only case that ever
came before it for adjudication. With sin-
gular precision he traced the history of the oath,
through its various phases, and showed that the case
of " Judaism" was never contemplated, nor could it
have arisen in the minds of the framers of that oath at
the time of the enactments which rendered it compul-
sory, not only upon Members of the Legislature to take
it, but on every suspected person who might be re-
quired so to do by two magistrates. Quakers were
subsequently relieved from the act of swearing, but
they were obliged to make a declaration, according to
a specified form, of the substance of those oaths. If
the words " on the true faith of a Christian " farmed
an essential portion of the oath, they should have
been embodied in the declaration. But they were
altogether omitted in the case of Mr. PEASE, who
positively declared " that in the affirmation which he
took the words on the true faith of a Christian' were
not contained." The Attorney-General asserts it
was notorious to the House and the whole
community " that Mr. PEASE, as a Quaker, was a
Christian," and that, therefore, the argument does not
apply ; but that is begging the question, the penalty
is not against the Jew, but against the person who
refuses to take the oath in that form. Mr. PEASE
objected even to affirLa it ; be was not required to do
so ; it was, therefore, matter of form and not of sub-
stance, and the precedent must apply to the present
case.

We shall not recapitulate the arguments of Mr.
PAGE WOOD to show that the penalties were re-
pealed—arguments in which we fully concur, or those
to show that the last words are no more essen-
tial to the oath than the name of the monarch,
and that the name of Queen AN/SE should be con-
tained in the form and not of Queen VICTORIA, the
former being the name contained in the last statute
on the subject. We shall merely refer to a point
which we believe bas not yet been alluded to. The
penalty, if any there be, is that the party offending
shall be "deemed and adjudged a Popish recusant
convict, and shall forfeit and suffer as a Popish recusant
convict," &c. Now, we believe that " Popish recu-
sants" have been by Act of Parliament freed from
these old penalties, that the penal code has been long
since abolished. Being a Popish recusant, therefore,
incurs no disability or forfeiture at the present day :
and therefore Baro❑ ROTHSCHILD must be entitled to
take the seat to which he has been elected without
let or hindrance.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and of yesterday.
On Friday the National Assembly was the scene
of a disgraceful row, occasioned solely by the gross
misconduct of M. Durts, the President. M.
LATRADE had moved the abolition of the tax on
potable liquors, the debate was concluded, and the di-
vision had commenced, when from the Right there
arose loud calls for a secret division, the Legitimatist
Members for the Southern Departments being
fearful of losing their seats if it should be
known that they voted against the motion. This
call was decidedly contrary to the regulations, as
the open division had already commenced ; never-
theless M. DUPIN, who never scruples to set law,
decency, and order, alike at defiance, whenever the
interests of the reactionary party are concerned, at
once countermanded his former order and ordered
the secret division to be taken. M. LATRADE rushed
to the tribune, and in energetic terms denounced
the cowardice of the Members who called for the
secret scrutiny, the subserviency of M. DUPIN, and
the illegality of the whole proceeding. M. MATIIE
denounced the conduct of M. DCPIN as shameful, and
M. Durist declared that the open voting had not
commenced at the time he ordered the secret voting
—although he could not deny that some of the
members had recorded their votes. 11. MATIIE
hereupon at once declared that the statement of the
PnEsinEwr was untrue, for which he was called to order
with the censure. A scene of indescribable confusion
ensued, which ended in the rejection of the motion by
316 to 236.

The motion of M. CoLrays.o for a return
of the names of all the shareholders in
the Nantes and Bourdeaux Railway was rejected
on Saturday by a majority of 212, the numbers
being—for the motion, 182 ; against it, 394.
The discussion on the Railway Bills commenced
on Saturday, and several clauses were agreed to.
M. GUIZOT has published a letter stating his
reasons for refusing a seat at the Board of the new
Council of Education. He states his conviction that
the new law will fail in' its object, declares his belief
that it is impossible ever to produce unity and accord
between the clergy and the university, and declares
that in his opinion the only educational system that
can be adopted is one of entire liberty, allowing fa-
milies freely to choose between church and secular
schools.
We read in the Bulletin de Paris :

" The day before yesterday M, de Larochejacquelin re-
ceived a letter from the Count de Chambord, announcing
that he will arrive at Wiesbaden on the 1 1 th, and ex-
pressing an earnest desire to see M. deLarochejacquelin."
This is regarded as a Legitimatist demonstration in
opposition to the Bonapartist!.
The Pays says :
" The journey cf the President of the Republie in the
department of the Niiivre is, it is said, positively fixed
for the 20th inst. M. Dupin, the President of the As-
sembly, will accompany the Prince into his department,
the journey, which was to have token place about the
llth, having been delayed for that object."
The suppression of the Board of General Health
of Marseilles by the Government, and its refusal to
establih a quarantine,has produced great excitement
in that city. The prefecture was mobbed by a pro-
cession of the merchants and other principal inha-
bitants, who insulted the secretary of the Prefect,
threatened to take arms, and declared that they would
no longer obey the orders from Paris. After some
conciliatory words from the secretary, and a promise
to ask for further orders by telegraph, the crowd re-
tired ; but the" excitement in the city still continued,
and by the last accounts the troops continued under
arms, and the streets were patrolled by cavalry and
infantry.
The ,Council of the arrondissement of Roche-
chourt, Haute Vienne, demands the revision of the
Constitution at the legal term, for the purpose of
sparing the country the agitation consequent en an
election of President every four years. It also de-
mands that the Prefects shall have the nomination of
the Mayors. The Council of the arrondissement of
Chalons, Marne, demands the same as respects the
Mayors.

•
This last course is the branch -of the alternative
proposed 'by the Attorney• General, and which will be
supported by all the strength and power of the Go-
vernment. As we have already stated, there- is a great
repugnance entertained by Ministers to any decision
that would enforce a new election for the
city of London—a new and powerful
demolistratitm —by its - eitizeha" againat the
bigotry and intolerance of the hereditary legislators,

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING,

has never ceased to exist; that the convocation f
plenary assembly at Frankfort was necessary and le4al
and that all the members of the Confederation are bound
to take part in the constitution of a new central pro-
visional government, and sun mit themselves on this
point to the decision of the majority of votes. These
explanations, and what appears to transpire of the re-
solutions of the Cabinet, leave no doubt of the energetic
impulse which Austria reckons o❑ giving at the outset
to the Federal Council. The first act of this Assembly
will relate to the Duchies. Instead of pushing forward
the ratification of the peace concluded between Prussia
and Denmark, the Cabinet of Vienna will recommend
the Council to take up another ground by reminding the
King of Denmark of the declaration of the Germanic
Diet, in reply to the famous letter patent, a declaration
which while it left open the question of succession,
connect( d Holstein alone to Germany. It is wished to
simplify negotiations, and render possible an amicable
arrangement, however deplorable may become the
issue of the war which has just broken out. The amnesty
of the prisoners of October, which was discussed in
council a few days since, and which it was at first in-
tended to publish on the 18th of August, has come out
to-day, the Emperor, having, it is said, observed that
when a benefit was to he c mferred it should not be de-
layed. News has been received from the Danubian
principalities. Russia is said to have withdrawn all her
troops, with the exception of a corps of 3,000 men over
and above the contin4ent which the treaties allow her to
keep in Moldo-Wallat:hia until fresh orders. The Com-
missioner of the Sublime Potty, Ahice l ElTendt. will, it
is said, iusist on the withdrawal of the above 3,000 men,
who are at the charge of the country. The Commis-
sioner is not in general at all amicably inclined towards
the Cabinet of St. Petersburah. The Commission
charged to draw up the organic statutes for Moldo-
Wallachia assemble regularly and discuss at great
length, but without making much progress in the work.
The majority of this Commission is, it is said, devoted
body and soul to Russia."
The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter From Frank-
fort of the Ist, which says—" There is to he a con-
ference between the King of BAVARIA, the Elector of
HEssE, and the Grand Duke of HESSIS DARMSTADT.
The intention is to persuade the ELECTOR and the
GRAND DUKE to accede to a secret treaty that the
four kingdoms have concluded amongst themselves,
as well against Prussia as against Austria. We learn
also that the visit made by the ELECTOR to the
GRAND DUKE had no effect, the latter declaring his
intention to remain in the Bund. Now the partisans
of the great Germany have entertained the project of
apportioning the Grand Duchy of Baden."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
IVILLESEN'S head quarters were at Rendsl2urgh on
the Ist.

The Danes were pushing their reconnoisances up
to the Eider.

The Belgian journals announce that a new and
serious complication appears to have arisen between
Prussia and Denmark. The first of these powers de-
nies the right of the latter to carry its army over the
Eider in order to penetrate into Holstein, there to
pursue its military successes, and to reduce that pro-
vince to obedience. Prussia, in thus renewing its
warlike attitude against Denmark, threatens to bring
into action the corps cr armee assembled in our en-
virons, of which the head-quarters are at Buissen-
burg.

MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
DESTROYING A LIST OF VOTERS —Joseph Howe was
placed before Mr. Hardwick charged with wilfully tear-
ing from the door of St. Andrew's Church, Wells-street,
Oxford-street, a portion of the list of voters.
Police-constable, 34 C, said yeSterday afternoon about
four o'clock, he was in Wells-street, when he saw ihe
prisoner come from the doors of the church with the list
of voters produced in his hand. Witness went up and
asked him where he got the papers from? The prisoner
replied he had pulled them down from the church door
for the purpose of reading them to a gentleman. Wit-
neis then took him to the church, and on the door he
found the remaining portion of the list, from which the
one produced had been torn. He then took the prisoner
to the station.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, was fined 10s.,
or in default to be committed for a week.
STEALING TICKETS FOR THE BAL MASQUE —7lw3.
Grahers and J. Robertson were brought before Mr.
Hardwick, charged with stealing several tickets for the
Vauxhall Bal Masque, value 51., the property of Mr.
Nathan, costumier, Castle-street, Leicester-square.
Mr. W. H. Austen, solicitor, 31, St. Martin's-street,
who appeared for the prosecution, stated that, for a con-
siderable time past, Mr. Natflo, his client, had missed
an immense deal of property, and amongst the latter a
large number of masquerade tickets, which he had pur-
chased of Mr. Wardell, the manager of the gardens.
these tickets were different to the ordinary tickets of ad-
mission. On the receipt of these tickets, Mr. Nathan
placed them in his private room. A short time after the
tickets were missing, and on discovering his loss, Mr.
Nathan communicated with the police and the authori-
ties at the gardens.
Mr. Isaac John Nathan said he purchased of Mr.War-
dell ten ladies' and ten gentlemen's tickets for the mas-
querade on Friday last. The value of the tickets were
71. They were different to the usual tickets issued on the
occasion. On receipt of the tickets, be placed them on the
mantle•picce of the drawing-room of his house, and
lett the room for a few moments. On his return he
missed the tickets. Be immediately sent to Vauxhall-
gardens, and stopped the tickets. In the course of
Friday night the whole of the tickets were presented
and stopped. He subsequently ascertained that the pri-
soner, Robertson, had sold two of the tickets to a person
named Terry. The prix finer had access to his house, in
consequence of his paying his addresses to a young
woman who worked for him. He subsequently received
such information from Mr. Terry as to induce him to
have the prisoners apprehended.
John Terry, 115, London-roud, Southwark, said,
previous to Friday last he had, three tickets
left with him by the prisoners on sale or re-
turn. Robertson produced the tickets, and witness,
seeing the Sword " paid " written on the top or
them, remarked that he did not think they were genuine
tickets. Robertson said he had purchased them of Mr.
Wardell, and he might rely that they were genuine.
Oa the faith of this he purchased the rickets, and the
prisoners both came on the Friday for the money.
They were afterwards returned to him with the rotor.
mation that they were stolen. The tickets produced are
the same.

Mr. Austin said he could not go further into the case
at present as Mr. Wardell was not in attendance, he
must, therefore, beg to have them remanded.
Mr. HARDWICK remanded them till Saturday next.

It is said that Prince Albert will bs removed from
the Scotch Fusilier to the Coldstream Guards, and that the
vacancy in the former will be filled by the Duke of Cam-
bridge.

tHE POTASH FARM.—This estate, consisting of a
good farm-house, with all necessary buildings, together with
upwards of 143 acres of land, is advertised to be sold on
Saturday, August 10th. The property was in mortgage to
the late Mr. Recorder Jenny, and has been in the possession
of his representatives during the last twelve months. A con-
siderable sum has been expended by them in bringing the
farm into proper cultivation and condition, and its aspect
throughout is very much improved.

MAIMAGE IN HIGH LIFE --The nuptials of Miss
Singleton and Lord Rodney were solemnized on Saturday
last, at St. George's Church. The sacred edifice was early
thronged by a large number 'cf respectable persons. At hall-
past eleven o'clock the bride entered the chtirch, leaning on
the arm. ot her brother (the bridegroom having previously
arrived); she was attired in a magnificent white Brussels lace
dress and veil, and an orange flower wreath. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Lord Arthur Hervey, brother-in-
law to the bride. Her brother, Mr. Singleton, gave away the
bride.

DEATH OF SIR JOHN P. MILBA3RE,
This Baronet expired on Saturday, the 27th ult., at Halnaby,
his seat in Yorkshire. The deceased Baronet was son of Mr.
John Milbanke (second son of the fifth Baronet ), and was born
Aug. 20; 1775. He married first, July 1, 1799, Miss Eleanor
Herring, youngest daughter of Mr. Julius Herring; and
secondly, Jan. 2, 1821, Mrs. Elizabeth Grey, daughter of
Captain J. Fenwick, and widow of Dr. Thomas Grey. In
March, 1820, he succeeded his uncle, Sir Ralph, who bad
taken by sign manual the surname of Noel, whose only
daughter married the celebrated poet Lord Byron.

_ _ CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

From Liverpool we learn that' the sales of Cotton on
Saturday amounted to 12,000 bales, and included 3,000
American on speculation, the market closing firmly at
former rates. The sales consisted of about 7.000 hales
American, 1.500 Pernam and Maranhatn, Bd. to ad.;
3,000 Surat, sd. to Girl.; and 1,000 Sea Island ls. lid. to
ls. 4d.—For Shares there was a strong and firm market,
with an improvement in the leading Stocks and Shares,
and the market closed with the prospect of a further im-
provement.
At Mark lane the business transacted was limited to-
day, and prices have not materially changed.
The West India mail steamer has arrived, and
brings late advices from the colonies. At Barhadee.i
the weather was very favourable, end all complaints of
blight among the young cr.nes bad ceased. The culti-
vation of cotton was making progress in several c f the
islands, and superseding that of coffee. The weather
was good in Demerara. Trinidad was fairly supplied
with labour, but wages were high owing to the dearnes.s.
of food. In Jamaica the Assembly had got through its
short session, and worked harmoniously with the Go-
vernor.

The Pacific ndvices of May 30 reach by this oppor-
tunity. The Chilien new Congress was about to meet.
The revenue was increasing, although the imports 01
manufactures had been smaller. From Peru we learn
that the newly-discovered silver mines near Copiapo
were daily inert wing in importance.
The steamer .••ith the Noah American mail has like-
wise reached. The latest rate at which Bills of Ex-
change were drawn upon New York was 110 to 1101.
The grain-crop accounts were highly encouraging, and
there is unmistakeable prosperity throughout the United
States.

The Globe says that the Custom% revenue of the port
of Toronto, for the quarter ending in July, is above
30.0001., being more than double that of the parallel
quarter of last year. _

Accounts from Prince Edward's Island state that
there is little doubt, in the event of the contemplated
railways being built in these provinces, that the price of
lend will rise materially in the island, as such a market
will then be opened up.
The debt of the country is about 30,0001., we learn,
but owing to the differences between the Lieutenant-
Governor and the House of Assembly, the representa-
tives of the people have declined transacting any
business with him, and consequently have not
voted the usual supplies for the public ser-
vice. The revenue, amounting to about 20,0001.,
will go towards paying off the debt. The roads,
however, stand very much in need of repair, and
cannot be compared to the roads in New Brunswick.
In the Amsterdam market, on the 3d inst., there was
nothing particular done in public securities. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents, were 57 7-16. At Frank-
fort, on the Ist instant, Austrian Metallies were 811.
The Funds are looking very firm. Consols have been
96s to 97 for Transfer, and 96i to 97 for Account. The
protocol of the leading Porters upon the affairs of
Denmark has afforded satisfaction, and although it is
not expected that the Schleswig-Holstein people will
give up the contest without a further struggle, the pro-
tocol must have its effect in hastening a conclusion. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents, have been 994 to ;
and the Three per Cents. 97-i- 4. Exchequer-bills have
been uoted 66sMarket. to 695, premium.
The Foreign has been quiet. Mexican Bonds

MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE.-MONDAY.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with each kind of English Wheat, in
which only a limited business was transacted, at, in some
instances, drooping prices. Foreign Wheat met a slow
inquiry, at barely previous rates. Spring Corn was
mostly held at full currencies. Fine Flour ruled steady.
We have advices from New York to the 25th ult.
Both Wheat and Flour were unaltered in value. In the
Baltic and Black Sea poits rather more business has
been doing in Grain on English accounts. The French
and Dutch markets have continued firm.

Up to our market last is eek. the arrivals of English
Grain were ♦ery model ate. From abroad we received
22,139 quarters of Wheat, 12,753 quarters of Barley,
43,145 quarters of Oats, 1,165 quarters of Beans, 837
quarters of Peas, 7 quarters of Tares, 3,960 quarters of
Linseed, 40 quarters of Mustard Seed, 52 quarters of
Indian Corn, 3,843 sacks and 3,812 barrels of Flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of
English Wheat, coastwise, were slightly on the in-
crease; while those by land-carriage and sample were
moderate. On the whole, the stands were seasonably
well suppiied with parcels of both red and white. Not-
withstanding the fineness of the weather for the crops,
most of the Essex Wheats—which came to hand in very
superior condition—were disposed of at prices equal to
those obtained on Monday last. Kentish parcels were,
however, the turn in favour of the buyers, although the
millers, generally, are short of stock. In the value of
Lincolnshire Wheats no actual change took place.

Tho accounts received from the northern and midland
counties, relative to the appearance of the Wheats and
all Spring Corn, including Potatoes, are very favourable.
A few offers reached us from the East Coast to ship
Wheats at present prices; but the business doing for
fore and delivery was limited.
The quantity of Foreign Wheat offering was on the
increase, but its quality was mostly inferior. Fine dry
parcels of Dantzic were held at full rates of currency.
Damp and otherwise out of condition parcels were the
turn in favour of the sellers, and the market closed hea-
•ily. Scarcely any English Barley was brought for-
ward, but the show of Foreign was goOd. Malting and
grinding parcels moved off steadily—distilling sorts
slowly, at late rates.
The supply of Malt on show wag somewhat on the
increase; most kinds were a slow sale, but we have no
actual decline to notice in the quotations.
Very few English Oats were in the market, but the
quantity of Foreign was very extensive. All kinds ruled
inactive, at barely stationary prices. In Beans only a
moderate business was doing, yet late rates were well
supported. A few parcels of new Pcas changed hands
at 275. per quarter. Old parcels moved off slowly.
Indian Corn might have been purchased on lower
terms.

A steady business was doing in Flour, at last week's
prices. Several parcels of Foreign, amongst which were
4,000 barrels from the United States and Canada, were
offering.
