MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Although we had about an average supply of English
Wheat, the demand for it was steady, at prices quite equal to
those obtained on Monday. There was a moderate retail
trade for Foreign Wheat, at fully previous rates. The Barley
trade was in a depressed state, at barely stationary prices,
with a good supply offering. Malt was a mere drug, and is
per quarter lower. The Oat trade was dull, at barely late
rates. All other grain as on Monday.

THE JEws.—Accordin g
to the different prophecies
-- - -
in the Bible, the chronologists had calcnlated that the time which
God had appointed, to set the children of Israel free is fast ap-
proaching ; some of whom state that it would take place between
1840 and 1850, while others Axed it from 1644 to 11147.
