MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN-EXCHAN GE.-(FRIDAY )
Since Monday a fair average quantity of English Wheat
has been received up to our market, yet the show of samples
was not to say extensive. For all descriptions the demand
was in a very depresses state, and Monday's figures were barely
supported. In fair Foreign Wheat, as well as Grain under lock,
so little was doing, that the rates were almost nominal. As
the maltsters are generally well in stock, the Barley trade
was very dull, and the quotations had a downward ten-
dency. Malt and Oats were likewise heavy, and the terms
lower. All other grain unusually low.

XELD.
For the time of year the supply of Beasts on sale here was
somewhat numerous, but of very middling quality. For all
descriptions of Beef the demand was in a depressed state, and
Monday's quotations were barely supported. There were
offering thirty Oxen and Cows from Holland and sixty Scots
from Aberdeen. Sheep, which were in limited supply, com-
manded a steady sale, at full prices. The Veal trade was in-
active, but we can notice no alteration in figures. 11l Pigs

increase last month of 1,472,8811. In the circula-
land, and an increase of 1,498,0541. in the United

The comparison of the month ending February 1, 1845, with the
month ending the 3d of February, 1844, shows a decrease in the Bank
of England circulation of 201,0341., in Private Banks of 403,2431.,
Joint-stock Banks of 311,5821., being a total decrease in England of
915,8591., while in Scotland there is an increase of 278,655/., and in
Ireland an increase also of 1,087,5511. Thus showing that the mouth
ending February 1, as compared with the same period last year,
presents a decrease of 915,8591. in England, and an increase of
450,3471. in the United Kingdom. Allowance is here made for the
seven days' sight bills of the Bank of England, which were formerly
included in the returns of the circulation.

The return of the bullion in the Bank of England for the week
eliding February 8, gives an aggregate amount in both departments
of 15,148,5831. On a comparison of this with the return for the
month ending February 3, 1844, there appears a decrease of 331,4171.

PUSEYISM IN THE CITY.--A vestry meeting of
the parishioners of St. Lawrence Jewry and St. Mary Mag-
dalen, Milk-street, was held yesterday, to receive the report
of a deputation appointed to wait on the vicar, to endeavour
to induce him to disco.ntinue the use of the surplice, the
reading of the offertory sentences, and the prayer for the
Church Militant. To these two last points the Rev. Gentle-
man adhered, although he professed himself willing to yield
the surplice and resume his gown. A somewhat lengthened
and spirited debate took place, and eventually resolutions
were adopted, appointing a committee to wait on the Bishop
of London, requesting his interference to desire Mr. Burgh,
the vicar, to dispense with the objectionable ceremonies.
ST. MARYLEIIONE BANK FOR SAVINGS.—The 15th
Annual General Meeting of this institution was held on Thursday,
the 27th of this month, at the office, No. 76, Welbeck-street, Caven-
dish-square, the ltev. J. 11. Spry, D.D., in the chair. It appeared
from the several reports read to the meeting, that the progress of
this bank continues to be of a very favourable description ; no less
than 2,684 new deposits having been made in the last year ; 15,124
deposit accounts remained open on the 20th November last, of which
no less than 9,503 held balances averaging leas than 41. ss. 10d. each.
Upwards of 350,0891. was then invested with the Commissioners for
the Reduction of the National Debt ; this amount has since risen to
353,0891. 4s. 7d., and is rapidly on the advance. The continued evi-
dence thus afforded of the strong and growing disposition of the work-
ing classes to provide against the casualties of life, will prove a source
of gratification to all reflecting minds ; and it may indeed be hoped,
that this provident disposition has its influence in improving the cha-
racter and conduct, materially contributing to this class of workmen
being the last to be discharged whenever establishments are reduced,
from scarcity of work. _ _

THE ROYAL BUCK-HOUNDS.—The first regular
public meet of the Royal buck-hounds since the breaking up of the
late frost, at which were present the Earl of Rosslyn, Lord St. Maur,
Captain Seymour, and several of the officers of the two regimentsrlin
garrison at Windsor, including a field of upwards of 100, took place
on Wednesday, at Salt-hill. The celebrated deer Rob-Roy, which
was selected for the morning's sport, upon being uncarted at Two-
mile Brook, took away towards Farnham Royal, leaving the village
to the right, across East Burnham Park, and through Burnham
Beeches, without a check, to the left of Beaconsfield, on to Holtspur-
gate, and thence down Holtspur-bottom to Loudwater, and was taken
at High Wycombe, after a beautiful run of little snore than an hour.
upwards of thirty being well placed at the finish. The speed from the
Beeches to Wycombe (the distance being gone over in less than forty
minutes) was the fastest ever known. The line of country, being
high and rather flinty, was in very good hunting order, notwith-
standing the late frost succeeded by the recent thaw and heavy rains.
Mr. Ross Mangles paired in favour of Lord John
Russell's motion with hir. F. Hodgson.

LITERATURE.
THE GITAIVA. A TALE. 3 Vol'.

The Gitana is given to the world in the unpre.
tending name of a tale; yet it deals with all the ele;
ments of the historic novel, blended with a freer in,),"
richer play of fancy and imagination than is usnallYs
found in those reproductions of the scenes of the
past, and which in this case gives the wOri!
all the vivid interest of a romance. It seems to be ha
first effort, and the authoress pleads gracefully,"
the reader for a forbearance from too harsh a itti;
ment. " Whatever may be its fate," she sass' in

detail, wanting in strength of narration, and mu_
more that my too partial judgment refuses to ackno7o

to do better next time." The writer is more diffidenl
