CORN-EXCIIANGR, JAN. 2i .—We had consi-
derable Arrivals of all sorts of Grain this morn-
ing, hut very few buyers at market, as they ap-
pear to be waiting for still further supplies ex-
pected, consequently we quote the prices nomi-
nally the same as On Monday, except in some few
instances ; where the sales are forced, lower prices
have been taken.

There have been three Cabinet Courreits within
these t,w dars. (J Friday a Council was held
at the Foreign Office, whlc:u Nits numerously at-
l'ended. On Saturday a Council was held at th,
&tine place, at which imly a few Members were
nresenr. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the third
Council was hvld, which was attended by .all the
Members except the Earl of AluLoaAvE., The
Council did not break up till half-past four
o'clock.

Tlle answer to the inquiries after the state ,of
the Dike of )(oat( yesterday, was--" His Royal
Highness has had a good night, and is much bet:

Yesterday the Duke tit WaLLINGTON and Lord
STE,"'ART transacted business at the Secretary of

THE EVANSES.—An anonymous COrrespondent

A report hiving been circulated to the prejudice
of Vice-Admiral-Sir J. S. Yorme, we are ainho-

thoughts of declining the honour o. Representing

Royal Highness's Physician in Ordinary.
A Son of the tate Sir HORACH MANN is men-

CITY BUSINESS.—A Court of Aldermen was
held yesterday, and much routine business was
transacted but the only circumstance of public
interest was a resolution, which was ewer(' to,
respecting becgars and vagrants infesting the
streets, enjoining the parish-otlicers to cause
them to be-apprehended and brought before the
LORD MAYOR or Sitting Alderman, in order to
their being passed to their parishes, or otherwise
dealt with according to law.
