MANCHESTEK, MARCH 23.—. At our market this morning
no change was observable, a moderate consumptive bu,iness
only
.being practicable, in which, however, the full quotations
of this day se'nnight were generally realised.
CoLcuicaus., MARCH 23.—The trade has been dull in this
district during the week, and the return of wintry weather,
and a slight fall of snow this morning, by no means tended to
improve the tone of our market to-day. The best samples of
white wheat fetched 455, and red 37s to 40s ; barley, which
was rather lower, 25s to 28s per quarter, and white peas 233
to 28s.

At Chelmsford, on Friday, the best samples of wheat fetched
Is per quarter more, but in other respects business was dull.
The supplies of barley are falling off in that district, but still
there is no rise in price. The quotations were—white wheat
86s to 435, red 34s to 40s ; barley 24s to 26s ; gray peas 26s
to 285, white 30s.
In the markets of Suffolk wheat has maintained its quota-
tions this week, and in some instances there was a slight
advance, but in other articles little was doing.
At Ipswich peas, which were in plentiful supply, were is to
2s per quarter lower.
Barley was cheaper both at Hadleigh and at Woodbridge, and
dull in sale.

At Bury the best descriptions of wheat sold readily at Is
advance.
The tame was the cue at Stovvmarket on Thursday, but

barley was Is cheaper. The spring corn has been got in in
good order in this disteet.

WORCESTER, MARCH 23.—The market to-day vas better,
and good wheat fetched better prices than for the last f,r,night.
English white 16s tid, and red 15s to 153 6d per bag. Foreign

rates. Oats as last quoted. Beans and peas well supported'
and a fair busines. doing.
At :sratford.on- A von market on Friday the supply of wheat

white wheat averaged 16s per bag, red wheat 14s 64 per bag.
A t Kidderminster the supply was good of all kinds. Wheat
14s 6d to 15s 61 per bag. Making barley 3a 3d per bushel,
grinding 10s tid per bag.
Wolverhampton market was firm, and prices, if anything,
must be quoted a trifle higher, though millers were very reluc-
tant to increase prices, and farmers asked more money.

GLASGOW CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 2l.—At our market
to-day the number of cattle shown was—oxen, 760; sheep.
721. The supply of good cattle was the best we have had this
season. Prices reiwined much the same as last maaket. Best
ox 495, realised from 44s to 46s per cwt, inferior cows ana
bulls from 30s to 364 per ditto, sinking the offal ; nearly 1111
sold. Owing to the small supply of sheep prices were a little
higher. Best aged wethers brought 6d per lb, current prices
from 43/4d to 5d per ditto; all sold.
DUBLIN, MARCH 22.—Our market to-day was very mo-
derately supplied, and prices of every description of grain were
fully supported, but Indian corn was dull, at former rates.
White wheat, 20s Od to 23s Od; red ditto, los Od to
213 Od ; barley, 9s Od to 12s Od ; oats, per barrel, 8s Od to

6d to 15s; Indian corn, per 4801 b, 25s to 27s 6d.
CORK MARCH 22.—The trade continues very dull; indeed
it may be said to have come to a complete stand, but little
business, and that little on the most restricted scale, having
been transacted during the week. A few arrivals of foreign
grain continue to take place. Amongst them we notice one of
oats from Lisbon, the first we remember to have heard of from
that quarter. The receipts of home grain, for the reason al••
ready assigned, are small, the amount for the week being--
wheat, 175 brls, at 15s to 18s 6d per brl; barley, 600 brie, at
7s to 11s per brl • oats, 2,353 brls, at 61 to 11 s per brl. The
few trifling lots of wheat coming in have been taken at about
the prices of last week. Barley and oats however have receded
in value. In prepared Irish wheat the busisais doing is very
trifling. For foreign also we experience a mere retail sale at $
decline of 6d per brl on all descriptions. We quote the value
of Polish Odessa 22s per brL Neither in barley nor in oats
have we any transactions to record. We qnote the value of
each nominally the same as when we last wrote. The flour
trade continues exactly in the state last reported. Bakers par •
chase only as their immediate wants require, hence the kiwi'
ness doing is a mere consumptive one. Prices remain unal-
tered. Indian corn continues to meet a very slow sale, and in,
some cases the article has been sold at a decline 01
2s 6d per ton. Indian Meal is excessively dull of sale.--

Lady Ponsonby's new novel, "Pride:and IrresolU'
tion," just published, is ealculivei to confirm the pre-
diction made by thelimes on the appearance of The
Discipline of Life"—that the noble author was "
to become one of the first hands in this class of liters.
tare." "In the st'ries which compose these volumes
(says the Atheneum) the feeling for character is stronS
and deicate. The authoress bears a close resemblance
to the authoress of Two Old Men's Tales.' Her sty!e
is flowing and simple without tenuity. Depth of ft eking
and elegance of mind are alike indicated by her mode of
dealing with the subjects selected by her—which form
second series of illustrations of the Discipline of Life.
Pride' is presented in the story of Ada Mowbray--'5
complete an impersonation of that fascinating sin as wits
ever framed by the hand of woman. She carries it
with a high hand till the discipline of storms' bresal
upon her head. In the tale of 'lrresolution' are set
forth the sufferings of a deep-hearted, gentle, refined,
girl, who marries a feverish and inconstant man, and
who perishrs under the discipline. We cannot but
imagine that in the outset Lady Ponsonby laid out
another rate for her heroine, the excellent Susan
Grevil le."

STATE OP TEADE.—BIRMINGIIAM, SATURDAY.'"
There is li,tle to report respecting the trade and mane'
factures of this town and neighbourhood. The iron
interests of South StaffOrdshire are said to be drooßiegt
but, notwithstanding, there is yet no intimation grre!l
of a fall in prices. The meeting usually held FreWO'
nary to the general quarterly meetings of the iron'
masters of South Staffordshire, will be held in a few
-lays, and a more p a:awe opinion of the future prospects
and intentions of the trade can then be farmed. In
the more general manittawurp: of Birmingham the mert
are comparatively e ell employed, and, in 'owe di:scrip'
Lions of business, over hours are required for the '4O
ting-up" of orders.
