CORN EXCHANGE, .T.ax. 23.
The supply during the last week has been very limitekl, ex.
cept of Oats and Flour, which was large. This morning there
is a tolerably large supply from the adjoining counties. The
Wheat trade for fine samples is tolerably brisk, but for other
sorts there is little demand at the prices of last Monday. Prime
samples of malting Barley obtained a sale ; in other kinds little
doing. Beans sell very heavily at last quotations. Oats are
plentiful, and sales aro made with difficulty, so that lower prices
arc submitted to. The Flour trade remains as last quoted.

[stows.) POST.]
There will be few questions brought under the
consideration of Parliament in the ensuing Ses.
Oka, more important, or upon which more angry
feelings are likely to be kindled, than that which
relates to the 'condition •of the Negro Slaves in'
our West India Colonies. Yet, if there be any
one stabject which, more than all others, should
be approached with calm and dispassionate views,
it is this. Feeling strongly, as we do the desire
of seeing every practicable measure adopted for
the amelioration of slavery, as well as for its event-
ualextioction, wecannot but deprecate all attempts
to precipitate the steps which it may be in the
contemplation of Government to take,for effecting
that object. We are not sorry to see the opinion
of the country publicly expressed in favour of
the, declared intentions of Ministers. On the con-
trail, there is in that a moral support, which
enables them to proceed with undoubting firm-
nese, as' we are sure they will always do with
prudence and caution. But we deeply 'regret
that exuberance of zeal which, in its effect, can
only retard the gaining of a common object, by
exciting the passions where reason and the higher
sentiments should alone be,consulted. If tavern
speeches are to abound with abuse and the most
outrageous charges against .a large, powerful, and
respectable body of men—and if the Govern-
ment is to be goaded to adopt precipitate and'
violent measures, then we think that the death.
day of our Negro Shivery is far more distant
than we had hoped to see it, and that the delay
is chargeable upon those who think fit to adopt
such a course. Education and a vast change
in the moral condition of the Slaves are impe-
riously demnnded as preliminaries even to en-
tertaining the question of their emancipation.
These things have been provided for by the
(government, backed by an unanimous declara-
tion of the Legislature. It is true that some
unworthy, but, perhaps, not wholly inexcusable,
ieluctance has been evinced by the Colonists to
act in conformity with the recommendations they
have received. The latest accounts, however,
seem to indicate a better spirit ; and we believe
that neither unfounded alarm nor unjust prejudice
will long blind them to the necessity as well as
the advantage of following the course which shall
be prescribed by the Executive. Satisfied with
the disposition and the power of the Government,
we should' say—let public opinion be temperately
expressed, and let no vulgar passions be inflamed
for, the purpose of giving a shew of false strength
to a cause which cannot ba otherwise than strong
in its own goodness—and then leave the work in
the hands of those who have shewn themselves
most competent and most willing to effect its safe
and happy consummation—the Ministers of the
Crown.

noWeVer inconvenient the existence of the
great cattle market in Smithfield may appear to

of the Common Council nppear to us to be satis-
factory nod unanswerable ;---a proof, we thiuk,
how much more wisely the corporate hotly is em-

city itself, than in instructing, as they are migh-
tily fond of doing, the King and his Ministers
how to govern the, nation. Some of the orators,
we allude to said Upon this occasion—first, that
the' removal of the market to the north of the
city would not prevent, the cattle 'wanted for
the Victualliog-yard, and other places to the
south, being driven, us they are at present,
through the streets ; and that to remove the
market at all would be to deprive the city of 'a
malarial branch of its trade. In this Nape re.

see a body of tradesmen, such as the' Common
Council, so properly alive to the main efianeeH
