THE INQUEST AT BALLINHASSM.

The proceedings at this investigation en Thursday and
Friday possess no novelty. The same story in told over and
over again with the usual amount of deviations in the cross-
examination, and bickerings between the lawyers. The evi-
dence was principally confined to the facts of the death of seve-
'feral persons, that is that those persons were killed by gun-
shot wounds, &c.

Captain Boldero is Member for Chippenham, and
has for several years held the situation of Clerk of the Ordnance,
the salary of which is twelve hundred pounds. Mr. Bonham was
formerly Member for Harwich. He has not a seat in the present
Parliament, but, on the accession of Sir Robert Peel to office in
1841, was appointed Storekeeper-General of the Ordnance. The
emoluments of the office are said to be about 1,2001. a year.
LONG DURATION OF SLEEP.—The trance under
which Mr. Barry has been labouring for weeks past, still continues
as bad as ever. He passed a very restless day on Monday, owing
to the noise made by the incessant firing at the review in Hyde-
park. Prince Albert has been unremitting in his inquiries; and
strict orders have been given by his Royal Highness that Mr. Barry,
as long as he continues in his present hopeless state, is not to be
disturbed by anybody. Lord Brougham called in the course of
the week, but was instantly denied. His Lordship left word that
he would look in again shortly, as he was most anxious to know
how Mr. Barry was getting on. Mr. Barry is still quartered at
the new Houses of Parliament, it being the spot where his singular
complaint drat began. Should theta be no signs of improvement,
however---that is to say, of his getting rapidly wide awake—there
is a loud talk of removing him.—Punch,

During last vO2Oll arrivals of English Wheat for our
mailitt Were on a very moderate scale, while the receipts of
nearly every description of grain—including Irish Oats and
Foreign Wheat—were small. Fresh up scarcely ally wheat
of home produce was received, hence the stands were very
scantily tilled with samples of that article, owing to which,
the full attendance of buyers, and the Unsettled state of the
weather, the deitiand was active at an improvement in the
rates obtained on this day se'nnight of 2s per quarter, and at
which nearly the whole was di, posed of. From all parts fa-
vourable accounts continue to reach us respecting the growing
crops. As might be expected, holders of foreign Wheat were ver3
firm, and would not sell except at Is. to 2s. per quarter more
money. This advance, however, was not generally paid. The
show of Barley was limited. rinding parcels were held at a
trifle more money. In other kinds very little was doing.
Although the supply of Malt was small, that article moved
off slowly, at late rates. The supply of Oats was by no means
good. A fair business was doing at late rates. Scarcely any
Beans or Peas on offer. In prices we can notice no altera-
tion. The Flour trade was steady.

SMITHFIELD.
Since Monday last the imports of live stock from abroad
into London have been again somewhat extensive, viz., 28
Oxen from Ilamburgh ; 37 Cows, 64 Oxen, 18 Calves, and
17 Sheep, from Rotterdam. The supply on offer here com-
prised 70 Oxen and Cows, in, generally speaking (though
there was nothing remarkable amongst them) fair average
condition. On the whole, a fair inquiry existed for them, at
prices varying from 161. to 19/. 10s. each, and at which they
were nearly all disposed of. Fresh up to our market of to-
day the arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing districts were
seasonably good, and on the increase compared with
those reported on Monday last. Notwithstanding the
attendance of buyers was rather numerous, we have to notice
a sluggish demand for all kinds of Beef, at, in most instances,
a decline, in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight, of
2d per tilbs, the highest general figure for the best sorts being
4s 4d per Sibs. In the quality and condition of the beasts
a great improvement was noticed; indeed, we have seldom
seen a better collection here at any previous corresponding
season. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire consisted of 650 Scots, homebreds and short
horns, while, from the northern counties, we re-
ceived 250 short horns; from the western and midland
counties 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; from other
parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland,
400 horned and polled Scots. The number of Sheep were
somewhat less than those exhibited last week. Prime old
Downs sold freely at extreme quotations, while the value of
other breeds was again supported. The few store Sheep on
offer were held at unusually high figures. For Lambs, the
supply of which was not to say large, we had a steady sale,
at full prices. The Veal trade was steady, at last week's quo-
tations. In Pigs very little busines was transacted.

From Scotland, and nearly all parts of England, the arrivals
of slaughtered Meat since Monday last have been on the de-
crease, though somewhat large for the time of year. With
London killed Meat, however, we have been well supplied,
while a decided improvement has taken place in quality. For
nearly every description of Meat the demand has ruled very
firm, and Lull prices have been realised in every instance, and
at which good clearances have been effected. About 20
carcases of foreign Beasts, and a few Calves and Sheep, have
appeared on sale,
