THE THAMES TUNNEL.

The definitive answer of his Majesty's Ministers
to the application of the Thames Tunnel Company
for advances to complete the works, was communi-
cated a day or two since from the Treasury to Lord
Althorp, who has taken a most active part in the at-
tempt to induce Ministers to comply. The letter
received by his Lordship from the Chancellor of the
Exchequer intimated that the Duke of Wellington,
and the rest of his Majesty's advisers, did not under
present circumstances deem it expedient to recom-
mend any grant or advance of money to complete
. .

the works. It was, however, intimated, in the
communication to Lord Althorp, that in the event
of his Majesty's Ministers entertaining the same
feelings on the subject in the next Session of Parlia-
ment, the question might be brought forward with
a prospect of their acquiescing m the request of the
Company for advances. Things at the Thames
Tunnel continue in statu que. The number of
visitors daily is considerable. The whole of the
subscribed capital, viz. 200,0001., has been called
by the Directors, and the balance in hand is very
trifling. Among the Proprietors and Directors a
good deal of difference of opinion exists on the sub-
ject of adopting an offer made by certain parties, in
the event of supplies being obtained, to complete
the Tunnel for a much less sum than it would cost
to finish the works on the plan hitherto adopted by
Mr. Brunell. An active canvass is going forward
to ascertain the feelings of the general body of share-
holders on this subject.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.—June 19.

The supply of Wheat here to-day is rather large; the
reports of lower prices in most markets, together with
the expectation of the duty upon foreign being reduced to
10s. Bd. this week, have caused the millers to be very
shy in their purchases to-day ; the hest fresh samples are
Is. to 2s. per quarter lower, but general rimy-and mid-
dling qualities being abundant, are offering freely, and
meet very heavy sale at a decline of Ss. per quarter. Oats
are in very limited demand, and rather lower. ,Fl' here ha's-
been very little inquiry for Barley of any description to-
day. Beans sell heavily at the rates of List Friday.
