MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
The returns for the present week show rather a larger ar-
rival of English Wheat for our market, the time of year con-
sidered, viz., 6,760 quarters, while the stands were well filled
with samples. Both English and foreign qualities were a
mere drug, and might have been purchased on lower terms.
The supply of Barley was not to say large, yet the sale for
that article was exceedingly heavy, at barely Monday's
prices. In Malt so little was doing that the quotations were
almost nominal. Oats, Beans, and Peas were excessively
dull and the turn lower.

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of beasts on salebeing tolerably extensive, and
the weather rather unfavourable to slaughtering, the Beef
trade was in a very sluggish state, at a decline of 2d per Blbs.
From Scotland 200 Scots came fresh to hand, while we had
on offer 20 Oxen and Cows from Rotterdam. The numbers
of Sheep were by no means large, yet the sale for them was
very inactive, at barely Monday's quotations. Of Lambs
the supply was rather extensive, owing to which the inquiry
for them was heavy, and the rates had a downward tendency.
The same may be said of Calves. In Pigs next to nothing
was doing. &Hell Cows sold at from 161 to 191 lOs each.

The accounts from Worcester, Sussex, and part of Mid

of the growing bine, but for other parts they are satisfactory.
The demand is still inactive, yet prices are supported. Very

We are glad to find that the statement that has appeared in
the columns of most of our contemporaries, that difficulties have
arisen in the appointment of qualified persons, in the Dutch
colonies, to certify the growth of sugars, the produce of free
labour, imported into this country, at the re-
duced rate of duty as contained in the new
Sugar Bill, is without foundation. This was eli-
cited by a question put by Mr. Labouchere in the House of
Commons last night, to which Mr. Gladstone replied that par-
ties duly qualified to give certificates of origin as to sugars ex-
ported from the Dutch East India Colonies had been ap-
pointed.

There are not any late Colonial arrivals this morning.

J. C. and S. Stevens, King-street, Covent-garden. The col-
lection was the last that had been formed by Mr. Hawkins, a

logy, but as having supplied the British Museum with a
valuable collection of remains, similar, though highly ;sup-
rior, to those disposed of at the present sale. The prin-
cipal lots and their prices were as follows :.—A magnificent
specimen of plesiosaurus, measuring six feet two inches long
by three feet five inches wide, in a strong oak case, 50/. 83. ;
a specimen, showing various portions of the ichthyosaurus,

purchased by members of the Geological Society.
