MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHAiiGE-MONDAY.
, The arrivals of English Wheat, coastwise as well as
by land carriage, up to our market last week, were tole-
good, though not to say large. Of Barley, both of
rime and foreign growth, the receipts were on the in-
edrease, while nearly the whole of the latter, from the
for
having receded to 3s per quarter, has been entered
tor
home consumption. Of all other articles of Grain,
the
supplies were rather scanty. Fresh up, a fair ave-
!lige quantity of Wheat came to hand from Essex and
'lent, in good condition ; but from all other quarters the
arrivals were very scanty. The show of samples of both
red and white was moderately good, while the finest par-
cels were in fair request, at prices quite equal to those
obtained on this day se'nnight ; while, in other kinds,
only a limited business was doing at previous quota-
tions.) The quantity of foreign Wheat on offer
Was but limited, while holders in general were very
.L,irra. and obtained full prices in every instance.
4a Wheat and other corn under lock so little was doing,
that the quotations ruled almost nominal. Owing, as
We have before observed, to the large influx of- foreign
141.17, and to the present low rate of duty, that article
Was in good supply to-day. That, as well as English,
Was a dull sale. The finest qualities were is, other kinds
La to 2s per quarter lower than last week, without any
Progress being made in sales. Notwithstanding the
11,,,PP1y of Malt was small, the inquiry for it was heavy.
'ne best Chevalier was held at full rates ; but the value
the
other parcels had a downward tendency. Oats, for
e limited receipts, moved off steadily, and prices were
firmly supported. Beans were a dull sale, at a decline of
Grey
Per quarter. The same may be said of Maple and
Peas. The Flour trade was again dull, at last
Week's figures.

iirlY for the primest Scots, &e., was decidedly active, at
an

ght of quite 2d per Sibs, 4s 4d being readily paid as a
P figure • indeed, in some few instances, the rates ex-
ee h teded atrange. At the close of the market, very few

Rather extensive imports of livestock from abroad, have
eigain taken place during the past week ; 67 Beasts and
Sheep having arrived at Hull, from Rotterdam; while
,e arrivals for London have consisted of 43 Oxen and
Rotterdam.
from Schiedam, and 60 Beasts and 195 Sheep from
ZOtterdam. The supply of foreign stock here, this
r °riling amounted to 35 Beasts and 67 Sheep. With
tleaaPect to the former there was nothing remarkable in
then; though their quality was tolerably good ; but in
e latter a great improvement was noticed, the whole
havingper found buyers, at prices varying from 36s to 41s
vs 7 head. The stock in question was " jobbed " and
head by German salesmen ; in fact, scarcely• a single
h is now disposed of in this market through other
end& As the various foreign ports will soon be closed
;t! the winter months, the " season " for these
I,4_Portations will be soon brought to a close.
Fresh up to-day, about 1,600 Beasts came to hand from
14incolnshire Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire ;
, 7filie from 'Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge-
vi e, the receiptsi amounted to 400 Scots, &c. ; from
runty,e Western and midland districts, 500 Herefords, Devons,
&c.
; from other parts of England, 400 of various
kinds from Scotland, 200 horned and polled Scots, and
from Ireland, 40 Beasts. The supply of Sheep was not
tr „lay large, yet it was fully equal to the wants of the
Week. The Mutton trade was tolerably steady, yet last
eek's advanced rates were with difficulty supported.
Calves,„, the supply of which was very limited, met a
1,07, heavy demand at last week's prices. Prime small

FLANDERS MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BRUSSELS, Nov. 28.—At the commencement of the
sitting of the Chamber to-day, M. de Decker laid on the
table the budget of the department of Foreign Affairs.
The Chamber then resumed the general discussion of
the budget of ways and means. M. de la Coste main-
tained the opinion that the legislation on sugar should
not be meddled with at present. He has proceeded to
show the defects of our system of commercial octrois.
M. Delfosse, who spoke next, warmly attacked the policy
of the Cabinet, or rather that of the Minister of the Inte-
rior. He, however, deferred the political discussion till
the budget of the interior shall be brought forward, and
then attacked the financial system of the Cabinet. Seve-
ral members then spoke. The chief subject of discussion
was the assistance given to the Colonisation Company.
The Minister of the Interior deferred to a future occasion
the explanation to be given on this subject.
At the end of the sitting, the Minister of the Interior
introduced a project of law for placing the canals of
Ghent and Ostend on the same same footing as that of
Teriveuren by the treaty concluded with the Netherlands.
The King will go on Monday to Ardenne.
BRUSSELS, Nov. 29.—1 n to-day's sitting of the Cham-
ber, Mr. Ory asked for a report on a loan of two millions
to a company at Antwerp for the exportation of cotton
manufactures.

The Minister of the Interior promised to present the
report, but added that the matter concerned a former
administration.
The Guatemala Company was again the chief subject
of the debate. The members of the Cabinet continued
to be very reserved on this question, but the Minister of
the Interior pronounced that the convention between
that Company and the Government should be laid before
the Chamber. Among other things for which the Mi-
nistry was blamed, was a grant of 3,000 francs to the
company to procure for the public collection specimens
of the natural productions of Guatemala, in curiosities of
that part of the American continent. The general debate
was then closed.
BERLIN, Nov. 26.—1 t has been reported for some days
that the King has confirmed the sentence of death pro-
nounced against Tchesh, in the second instance, but by
a special order of the Sovereign, the execution is to be
left to the reign of his Majesty's successor. If this is
true, the King, who in this case has to decide in his own
cause, following the dictates of his humane heart, granted
the life of the criminal without opposing public opinion,
and the course of justice for the sword is still sus-
pended over the head of the criminal ; but his blood is
not shed before the eyes of the King, whose life was so
providentially preserved.

POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—Some ingenious thief has
managed to commit a robbery upon the Ely Post-office.
A packet, containing 3501. in country notes, was posted,
it appears, at March, in Cambridgeshire, some time
since, and addressed to a banking-house in London, the
postage having been duly paid upon as an ordinary letter.
The packet was missed from the office previously to the
making up of the bag, and was not heard of for five
hous day e
s
afterwards, when, strange to say, 2901. reached the
in London, the thief having only taken 60/. in Bank of
England notes, which were exchanged at Messrs. Foster's
bank, at Cambridge. The original wrapper was changed
for a brown paper envelope, bearing upon it the Ware
post-mark.
ATTEMPT TO POISON A WHOLE FAMILY.—On
Thursday last, John Wall, of Oadby, framework knitter,
aged twenty-five, was examined before I. Hodgson, Esq.,
on a charge of attempting to kill his sister, mother, and
brother, by mixing a quantity of arsenic in sugar, and
administering some to them. It appears that on the
morning of the 19th instant, about an hour after the
family had taken breakfast, they were seized with violent
sickness, which continued during that day and part of
the next, and at length they became so greatly alarmed
that Mr. Beasley, surgeon, was called in, and he imme-
diately discovered that they were suffering from the
effects of poison. The sugar which remained had been
made away with. The prisoner's brother and sister are
partially recovered, but his mother still remains in a
very, dangerous state, and but littlehopes are entertained
of her recovery. The only motive that can be assigned
for the perpetration of so diabolical an offence is, that
the prisoner wished to get possession of a sum of money
to which he and his brother and sister were entitled on
the death of their mother. He was remanded to Mon-
day next for turther examination.—Leicester Mercury.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning Mr.
Alexander Bruce, a respectable shipping agent and
broker, residing in Burr-street, Lower East Smithfield,
expired in the Queen's Arms public-house, Wapping,
from the effects of injuries he received by falling through
the hatchway into the hold of a vessel lying in the
Wapping-basin of the London Docks on the previous
'young.
