CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrival§ of all kinds of English and Foreign Grain
this week are moderate, but of Irish Oats there is a largo
quantity. The prices of Wheat remain the same as on
Monday last, with a moderate demand to-day. Batley,
Beans, and Pease, are each excessively dull. The Oat
trade is still heavy, and the prices of Monday can hardly
be maintained, except for verylgood parcels. There is not
much Flour in this week, and the trade continues very dull.

PROCtEDINCA of the COMMON COUNCIL.

(ri om the Liverpool Observer of yesterd ty.)
TOWN-HALL, uvnarooL, FEE. 4.
Slit,—At the request of the Common Council of this
Town, I have the honour to enclose herein the copies of
certain Resolutions passed at the Council this day, relative
to the adjournment to this town of Civil Causes arising
in the hundred of West Derby.
The particular grounds upon .which the Council have
deemed proper to request pie to transmit to
,you, .Sir, the
copies of the resolutions iu question, are first,—the great
attention bestowed by you upon the fortaterapplieations on
this subject; and secoudly,---t he opinion which your resent
visit to the Town, will, in souse degree, have enabled you
to form of the accommodations alluded to in the Resolutions,
and inasmuch as the adjournment now solicited would not,
in any respect, lead to a disarrangement of the Criminal
business of the Courts, the Council venture to hope that, it ,
will receive your favourable eonsideration, and that you
Will be pleased to afford your able assistance iu the pro.
motiug a measure, which will unquestionably confer such
important benefits on this town and neighbourhood.
I hare the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient very humble servant,
(Signet!) NICHOLAS ROBINSON.
To the Right Hon. Robert Peel, &c. &e.

The Council having reason to suppose from the general
reports at present in circulation, that it is in contemplation
to make an alteration in the Circuits, and in the planes for .
holding the Assizes, for the purpose of affording great re-
lief and saving expense to parties,
Resolved.—That it is the opinion of this Council that
very great benefit would result to this town and neighbour-
hood—by an adjournment of the Assizes for the trial of
Civil Causes to this town • awl that the Mayor be request-
ed to signify to the Right Honourable Robert Peal, his
Majesty's principal Secretary of iitate for the HoineDe-
purtinent, that ample accommodation can now be afforded,
for the conducting of the same in this town, and to solicit
Mr. Peel's earnest and early attention to this
,subject.

PARTICULARS RESPECTING THE
BURNING OF YORK, MINSTER.

(FROM A CORRESPONDE)iT.)
Yesterday afternoon Pardoe, Chief Constable of York,
arrived in Leeds, with a warrant, signed by Archdeacon
Markham, against the individual (whose name we under-
stand is B ), charged with having sred the Min-
ster. This person is a native of Adwick, near York, but
often resides in Leeds, he., and is known to a vender of
small pamphlets, who lives in a court leading out of Bry-
gate. Pardoe, on his arrival, obtained the assistance of
Our chief and other constables, and the whole party spent
last night in search of the incendiary, but, to the present
Mohr, without effect. They learned, however, that he was
soon expected at Leeds. The infatuated wretch appears to
be another Ravaillae or Erostatus, and looks something
like a religious enthusiast of the lowest order. We are
glad that the cause of the fire has thus been discovered, for
public rumour had at first most ungenerously ascribed it to
the Roman Catholics.

(Front the York Chronicle of yesterday. )

We understand there is not a shadow of doubt that thie '
dreadful calamity was the act of an incendiary, and that
the person who perpetrated the act, cut away the principal
part of the rope of the prayer bell from the bell-chamber,
and oonverted it into a rope ladder, by which he made his
escape through a window in the north transept, imme-
diately west of the fire sisters. Extraordinary sounds
were heard at intervals during the early part of the Morn-
ing, which resembled rather the explosion of combustibles
than the mere effort of the progress of flames amongst the
wood work,—being, in fact, loader than the falling in of
the roofs at a much later period.
On Monday a bunch of matches, burned at both ends,
was found among the rubbish, and afterwards a pair of
pincers, and an iron instrument which would serve many
purposes, amongst others, that of striking a light, have been
discovered. We have great pleasure in stating, that all
the curiosities, which have long been kept and exhibited '
in one of the vestries, were preserved. The, huge Norm
of Ulphus, a canopy of state, and coronets of silver, three
silver chalices, and several rings, a woody head found near
the graves of Archbishops Rotherham and Scroope, a pas-
toral staff of silver, the cordwainer's bowl, the coronation
chair, an iron helmet, some ancient spurs, &c. The coin-
mullion table was also removed in time to save it from the
devouring element. The plate, however, was not secured '
till after it had been melted by the heat into unshapell
masses of silver.

Oa Monday evening the vergers, workmen, and other
individuals connected with the Minster, underwens
rigorous examination at the Residence in the• Minster
Yard, with a view, if possible, to ascertain the precise
cause of this lamentable occurrence.

On Tuesday and yesterday the investigation was
continued, and several important facts transpired, but ore'
cannot at present communicate them to out,readers, as-it
might prevent the ends of justice being carried• into effect.
Iu our next we shall, we hope, have some important and
gratifying facts to state.
In one of the lessons (Isaiah, chap. 64, II) for nels
Sunday evening's service, (the sth Sunday after the 141*
phany), and which has not come in course to be read ea
a Sunday for some time past, there occurs the affecting
passage—" Our holy and our beautiful house, where our
fathers praised thee, is burnt with fire; and all our plea-
sant things are laid waste."
