MARKET NEWS.-,(THIS.

'COi EXCfiANGE-(MONDAY.)
The past week's arrivals of most descriptions of Grain have
been on a very moderate scale; but, generally speaking, of
full average quality. Fresh up to-day, the receipts of Wheat
of home produce, were trifling; hence the supply of that ar-
ticle offering was small. Selected parcels of both red and
white commanded a steady demand, at prices fully equal to
those paid on this day se'nnight. In all other kinds, only a
moderate business was doing, at late rates, and a clearance of
such was not effected. From all quarters our accounts rela-
tive to the appearance of the young wheat plants are very
satisfactory. No foreign Wheat has come to hand since our last,
while little of that article was brought forward to-day. Holders
of nearly every description were very firm, and obtained full
currencies without difficulty. In Corn under lock scarcely
any sales took place, and prices may be considered little
better than nominal. Notwithstanding the supply of Barley
was not to say large, that grain met a very dull sale.
Selected parcels of malting sold at full rates ; but the
value of all other kinds had a downward tendency. The
Malt trade was excemivelv dull, and last week's prices were
with difficulty supported. In Oats comparatively little was
uoing, yet prices were maintained. Beans, Peas, and Flour,
as last quoted. The Seed trade was again dull; and Clover
Seed was a trifle lower.

The imports of live stock from abroad during the past
week have been somewhat on the increase, they having pan-
sited "51 Oxen and 25 Cows, or a total of 76 head, all from
Holland, and in fair average condition. To-day there were

extensive for the time of year, while a slight

3810 d per Blbs. At the close of the market a clearance was
not effected. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire consisted of 2,000 Scots and homebreds, while
from the Northern grazing districts we received only 150 short
terns; from the western and midland districts 400 Herefords,
"ups, Devons, Sce. ; from other parts of England 300 of va-

much floating ice in the Middle Elbe, but it drifts down
raPhilY with the ebb. All the Upper Elbe is free, and in the
afternoon the ice which came down from the Upper Elbe.
Yesterday and to-day has almost entirely disappeared, and is
suliposed to have 4utik. There is only a little ice between
Ghickstatit and Cuxhaven.' With this we hope we have con-
cluded our accounts of the ice for this winter.—Hamburgli

lIET bIPT To DESTROY A SHIP By FIRE.—
rNI (ISM OF MAO, Mandl 29.—0 n Tuesday morning
tt, between twelve and one o'clock, as Mr. Medwood was
aeo "ling home, he discovered flames of fire issuing from
ine balks of timber, lying parallel about three or four
yards distant from a large schooner in frame on the stocks,
1,/,11,8. small field adjoining the Ramsey ship-yard. These
e '4 extended under the ship's bottom to about midships.
,vpon the ground a fire had been kindled by some incendiary,
i2th various inaterials, such as are generally used for light-
tVl fires, and would have shortly communicated with the
_eoner but for Mr. Medwood's prompt activity in arousing
t...eneighbours, and with whose assistance the fire was ex-
11.,Ipagnished, and fortunately very little damage was done. The
