WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.-FRIDAY..

A considerable extent of business has been done in Wheat
to-day, at rather improved rates. The best samples of Barley
command fully last week's rates, but inferior sorts are dull,
and scarcely support their value. Oats and Shelling are im-
proved demand, without material alteration in prices. Beans
are is per quarter dearer.

EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF GENERAL TOM MUM),
JUNIOR.—An illustrious individual (a lineal descendant of the
" Immortal Tom") is daily expected from New York. if Brother
Jonathan is not " poking his fun at us," he is the racist remarkable
production of modern times. His age is eleven years! he weighs
15 lbs. 2 oz. !! in height 25 inches !II Most perfectly formed, re.
markably healthy, good looking, and talented. The little war-
rior's errand is, we hear, to extract some more of John Bull's
loose cash. We shall certainly pay his Generalship a visit, and re.
port accordingly,

The debates in Parliament are likely to have more than
ordinary influence upon the Funds and Money Market during
the present session, so many important topics having been
announced for discussion—and not the Least point is the sub-
ject of the renewal of the Bank charter : it is not believed
that any material alteration will be made, unless the joint
stock banking interest bestir themselves, and that in good
time.

There is rather more business doing in the Consol Market
this morning, and prices are a shade higher. Consols for
Money have been-sold just now at 971, and for Money the
same. Bank Stock was rather depressed early in the day,
namely, to 192, but it has rallied again to 194. The heavy
stocks are firm. India Stock commands a rise on yesterday's
value of 2 per cent., being now 278. There is no particular
alteration m India Bonds or Exchequer Bills this morning.
A good deal of business was transacted in the Foreign
Funds this morning. Spanish Actives have been quoted at
22k, and the Three per Cents. at 31i 4. For Belgian Bonds
6 per cent. above par is the current value. In Dutch Stock
scarcely any alteration has taken place this morning. The
South American Bonds are not much in demand except
Mexican for Account, which are at 34 Brazilian :Stock
is per cent. lower than yesterday.
The Share Market has not presented a very animated ap-
pearance this morning, and generally rather lower terms
have been submitted to, as fur instance, the Great Western,
the Manchester and Birmingham, the Edinburgh and Glas-
gow, &c. Provincial Bank of Ireland Shares have been sold
at 16 premium.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT
(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The House met at One o'Clock, for the purpose of going up with the
address to her Majesty. There was not a full attendance of Members,
only thirty-two Members being present when the House was counted,
after prayers. Several Hon. Gentlemen. wore the uniforms of
Deputy-Lieutenants, but the majority were in plain dress. The at-
tendance of Members on the Opposition benches was very scanty.
The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after One o'clock.
The Members dropped in very slowly, and at half-past one there
were only thirty-eight present. A message was dispatched to the
Library, and atter some time the Attorney-General and Mr. Jervis,
Q.C., entered and made the House.
Sir It. PEEL then rose and said—ln the course of the discussion last
night on the Report on the address,' he stated that he had reason to
believe, in case the Report on the address should be agreed to, her
Majesty, in answer to the communication that would be made to her,
requesting to know at what period it would be convenient to her
Majesty to receive the address of the House of Commons, would pro-
bably naive this day at two o'clock. lie made that intimation to the
House, thinking it might be for the general convenience that Hon.
Members should have an opportunity of paying their respects to her
Majesty. In consequence of that intimation, the Report on the
address having been agreed to, an order was made that the address
be presented to her Majesty by the whole House. Her Majesty
would certainly have adhered to this arrangement ; but it was his
painful duty now to state that in the course of this morning intelligence
had been received, which, though not direct and conclusive, there
was still too much reason to fear was well founded, of the death of
the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the father of the illustri-
ous Prince, the Consort of her Majesty. In consequence of this
event, her Majesty could not, of course, receive the address in the
usual manner; and he had, therefore4to snake a motion, which he
was sure would receive the general concurrence of the House, that
the order for the presentation of the address by the whole House be
rescinded—that, under the particular circumstances of the case,
there should be a departure from the usual practice—and that the
address be presented ky such Members of the House as were mem-
bers of the Privy Council.
The order for the presentation of the address by the whole House
was then discharged, and the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet
agreed to.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL complained of the great inconve-
nience he had been that morning put to, while endeavouring to make
the House, in consequence of the communication between the House
and Westminster-hall being closed, notwithstanding the Speaker's
order of last session that it should remain open.
The SPEAKER said he had ordered that the communication
should always be left open, and he would see that the necessary
directions were given for that purpose.
The House then adjourned.
