MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE -WEDNESDAY
A fair average quantity of English Wheat has been
received up to our market since Monday, yet the demand
for the best parcels was rather active at full prices.
Other kinds hung heavily on hand. In Foreign Wheat
both for and in bond, very little was doing, at late ratss.
Barley and Malt moved off steadily at full prices. Oats,
Beans, and Peas supported the previous advances.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES AT LlVERPOOL.—Yester-
day information was received and circulated that a
japanned tin cash-box had been stolen from an office in
Liverpool, containing 10L in gold, a 20Z Bank of England
note, endorsed "J. H. S. S." and " J. M." a 201. note
marked " J. J. S. S." and " J. M.," another 20L and a
5/. note, 100 Lyons and Avignon Railway shares (being
English Scrip issued to " J. Potts Halbert Aunay,") and
also a quantity of receipts and memorandums. The thief
is described as a man of dark complexion, thirty-five
years of age, and five feet seven inches high, with black
hair and whiskers, and black mustachios, lusty in person,
and of gentlemanly appearance.—Two days afterwards
an office in Brunswick-street, Liverpool, was robbed of
another japanned cash-box, in which were a5l note of
the Shrewsbury Old Bank, payable in London, which
had been cut in two and the halves pasted together, two
5/. Bank of England notes, 331. in gold, 3L in silver, a
policy of insurance of the Liverpool Company, several
small bills, and a letter of guarantee, signed by Mr.
Callon. The thief in this case is described as a female,
seventeen or eighteen years of age, of light complexion,
with light brown hair, very low set and stout, with full
face and very red cheeks.
NORTH AND SOUTH WALES Bnux.--We under-
stand that a branch of this banking company is about to
be opened at Birkenhead, land having already been pur-
chased for the erection of a bank. Another banking
company, also in connexion
with the Liverpool, is about I
to open a branch in this improving township.—Chester

Each day's post from most of the principal parts of
Scotland brings additional information of measures of
opposition to any interference with the Scotch banking
system by the Government, being in most active pro-
gress. The Premier will have, therefore, no easy task
to perform in inducing a majority, such as he would
wish to have, to pass any Bill for the suppression
of the IL notes, and otherwise interfering with the
banking institutions on the other side of th,l?
Tweed. No concessions will be received. The reso-
lutions that have been passed at the meetings of the
Chamber of Commerce, by merchants, brokers, and
traders, unconditionally assert that any—the least—in-
terference with the present system, must be fraught with
the greatest injury to all her Majesty's Scottish sub-
jects. However, on this side of the border, very different
opinions are entertained ; the leading bankers and
capitalists holding the fate of the small note
circulation of Scotia, as already sealed. The
proceedings in Parliament upon this subject will be
vigorously conducted by the Scotch Members, almost
to a man, and no doubt by a fear of the English and
Irish representatives. It is understood that some weeks
before the session is opened the delegates of the Scotch
banking interests will reach London, to frame a mode of
proceeding the best calculated to maintain in tact the
present system of banking and currency of Scotland.
The general result of the recent important public
sales of colonial wools and of indigo has been already
noticed in the usual market report of The Sun. A word
or two of remark is worthy a place under this head. It
is with regret that, as winter is fast approaching, we find
the employment in the woollen districts of this country
is rather falling off than otherwise. To this circum-
stance may be ascribed the fall that has taken place in
indigo, which amounted all round to full fourpence per
lb. ; and of what was really sold, full two-
thirds of the samples were bought for exportation,
the manufacturers on the continent being better em-
ployed than those of this country. As to the recent
sales of colonial wools, the lower qualities fell slightly;
the purchases, however, of the finer samples were made
with much freedom. As there will not this year be any
further public sales of wools from the colonies, ample
time will be afforded to work up most of the present
stocks. For the spring trade a good demand is looked for
on United States' account.
There are accounts from New York to October 4.
The cotton market was dull, and the exchange on Lon-
don continued high. The papers are filled chiefly with
electioneering proceedings.
The amount of business transacted in the Funds this
morning has not been considerable. The price of Con-
sols for the Account have been at one-eighth and at one-
fourth per cent. over par. The Commissioners bought
10,0001. Reduced Three per Cents. at 991. The New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been again den,
at 2 per cent. above par. In most of the public secu-
rities a good amount of business has been transacted
to-day. Old South Sea Annuities have risen to 98a.
Exchequer Bills are fiat, at 71s. premium, and India
Bonds at 91s. premium. Bank Stock is rather flat at
204

Not a single bargain was quoted in the Spanish Bonds
to-day. Portuguese Converted have advanced from Wl-
to 51i ; Belgian at 1041 • and the Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. at 63. Hussisn Bonds have rallied to
1181. Mexican may be quoted at 15} 1, and Colombian
at 14k.

Much fluctuation has taken place in the Railway
Share Market this morning. The Great Western shares
have just receded about 41. per share, being at 137.
The Midland are at 6 to 7 premium, the York and
North Midland are at 57 premium. The French lines
are scarcely as much in demand as they were yesterday.
The Real del Monte Unregistered has been sold at 4-i.
The Joint-stock Bunk Shares are nominally the same as
yesterday.
