THE DIARY of THOMAS BURTON,
ESQ. MEMBER in the PARLIAMENTS of
the PROTECTORS, OLIVER and RICHARD
CROMWELL, from 1656 to 1659, now first published
from the original Autograph Manuscript, in the possession
of William Upcott, of the London Institution. Inter-
spersed with several. curious Documents and Notices, His-
torical and Biographical.
By JOHN TOWILL RIJTT, Esq.
This Work serves to fill up the chasm so long existing
in our Parliamentary History; the new facts and argu-
ments contained in it clearly develope the project of Crom•
well for the assumption of the Royal dignity; the real
extent of his power as Protector; the manner of his Ad-
ministration, and the rapid decline and speedy extinction
of that power under the short Protectorate of his Son.

HULL MARKET.—March 18.

The'supply of farmers' wheat is again very limited ;
there is more disposition to purchase this article, the best
runs of which fully commanded an advance of Is. per qr. ;
there is also a better sale for secondary qualities, but at
no improvement in price. More money is demanded for
foreign but not much doing in it. The few sales made in
oats, since our last, are principally confined to seed corn,
which maintain our currency, with an occasional sale of
Irish, at a reduction of 6d. to Is. per qr. In other des-
criptions nothing doing. There is but little demand for
beans or peas, and the trade for both dull. Barley con-
tinues very dull, not only from the coast but our own
growth, and prices may be stated as our last. Rapeseed
without alteration. Linseed is more enquired after, and at
rather better prices.

CATTLE MARKET.—The number of cattle on the Sands
to-day amounted to 313—viz. 287 three•years-olds and
upwards; 13 two-years-olds; 10 highlanders, and three
cows. The drove cattle were all Galleways, and generally
in good condition ; dealing for the most part of the day
was exceedingly dull; indeed, we believe that not a single
bargain took place till a late hour in the afternoon, when
the sales were as follows—fur a lot of 20, being the best
in the market, 101. los. was obtained; for a lot of 100,
101. se. ; for a lot of 50, 91. ss. ; for a lot of 30, 91. ;
and for another lot, consisting of 50, 8/. 6s. It was ge-
nerally understood, however, that the above sales took
place at a considerable decline in price, and the sellers ap-
peared by no means satisfied with the result of the market.
A small lot of two-years-olds were sold for 61. per head.
We did not ascertain whether or not the highlanders were
sold, but they were driven off early in the day.
PORK Xiattxrr.—The curing season now appears to be
fast approaching to a conclusion, the show consisting of
only 53 carts to-day. From the unfavourable state of the
day, it seas supposed that prices would fall ; nevertheless,
dealing began rather briskly at from ss. 10d. to Os. Id.
per stone of 16 lbs., arid at these prices, the whole of the
good pork was disposed of; inferior pork sold at from
ss. sd. to ss. Bd. ; Os. way be stated as the average of the
market for good carcases. The pork at to-day's market
was generally considered to have sold exceedingly well, as
notwithstanding the bad state of the weather—and that
the swine which are killed at this late period of the curing
season are commonly of an inferior description—prices ex-
perienced no depression.
