XCHANGE, DEC. 17

A very limited supply of Oats and Oatmeal coustitute almost
the only fresh arrivals of British or Irish produce within the
past three days; the foreign imports are equally unimportant,
being restricted to 3114 quarters of Indian Corn, and 132 bar-
rels of Corn Meal from the United States.

During the interval from Tuesday we have continued to expe-
rience a firm, steady, trade generally. in which the rates of our
last circular have been well supported, with a moderate busi-
ness passing in Wheat and Flour : we have also had somewhat
more inquiry for Indian Corn and Corn Meal on the full terms
last noted.

Notwithstanding the English and Irish grain markets this
week appear to have been rather buoyant, there were not many
country millers at our Corn Exchange to-day; from the ab-
sence of arrivals, however, the holders of most kinds of Wheat
required somewhat higher prices, which, checking the demand.
any advance was but partially acceded to, and the trade closed
with little amendment upon our last quotations.—States and
Canadian Flour, being in fair request, good Western brands
maintained late prices, whilst sour and mixed parcels mire Is.
dearer, and a few small lots of choice new were held at 318. per
barrel : Irish Flour, likewise, was the turn higher in value.
The market being extremely bare of Malt and Malting Bar-
ley, each would command former prices; in Grinditr, Barley
or Pease no change was apparent.—Beans dull of sale, and Is.
per quarter lower.—Oats and Oatmeal continued to rule the
same as on Tuesday.

Indian Corn, though not saleable in large quantities, excited
a more general inquiry, and obtained an advance of Is. per
4801 b.; and Corn Meal was in tolerable request on the fun
terms last noted.

AND CRIME

At two o'clock, the grand jury having disposed of the
whole of their bills were discharged, his lordship thanking
them for their valuable services. Just as the jury were
about to retire, Mr. Robertson Gladstone said that, as an
individual member of that body, he was desirous of ad-
dressing his lordship for a few minutes on the subject of
that portion of his charge which referred to the question
of education.—His lordship said that, in reference to any
expression of opinion on the subject of education, and also
in reference to any peculiar views that might have been
advanced, he would rather not admit of any remarks in
the court, but if they related to general topics connected
with the law, he should be most happy to hear Mr. Glad-
stone.—Mr. Gladstone said he wished to state the reasons
which had prevented the jury from retaininz the subject
of education, as a remeay ror me diminution of crime.—
His Lordship said he should be glad to hear from him in
the proper way ; he would, in fact, be happy to hear from
him, and have his assistance on any subject.—Mr. Glad-
stone replied that it was a subject of interest to the whole
community.—His Lordship said that at present they were
only a portion of the community engaged in the judical
business of the county. Mr. Gladstone said he bowed to
his lordship's decision, but he had a strong feeling on the
subject.—Mr. T. B. Horsfall, the mayor, said the only ob-
jection was, that if one gentleman claimed the privilege of
expressing his opinion, others would follow, and his lord-
ship's time would be taken up.—His Lordship thought
they had better not open the question, but if Mr. Glad-
stone would write him a note on the subject, he would be
much obliged to him.—Mr. Gladstone replied he should
be most happy if his lordship would permit him to do so.
—His Lordship said he had no doubt he should receive
instruction from it.—The matter here dropped, and the
gentlemen of the grand jury withdrew.

TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 21, 1847

ON Friday evening,' an incident occurred in the
House of Lords, which is worthy of some observa-
lion, as prefiguring what may be the tendency of
tile Protestant mind of the empire, if outraged be-
yond endurance by further concessions to the en
coaching spirit of Popery. The Earl of Clancarty,
on presenting himself to resume his seat in the
souse, declined taking the oath of supremacy; and
bpplied to be permitted to take in its stead the
oath prescribed in the 10th Geo. IV., chap. 7, (the
Emancipation Act). This claim was met by the
Earl of Shaftesbury, by the question—" Are you a
member of the Church of England ?" The answer
was, of course, in the affirmative, upon which it
w►as decided by Lord Shaftesbury that the Earl
•ould not be sworn except in the usual manner.
His lordship on the same evening addressed a
letter to the Times, explaining the grounds upon
which he made this unusual application, from which
we extract the following passage, conveying his
objections to the taking of the oath of Supremacy :

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKE7, DEC: 17

---
The large arrival of Wheat rather checks the upward tendency
of this article to-day, yet there is a good consumptive demand,
and on the best conditioned samples we note an improvement
of Is. per quarter, whilst other descriptions fully maintain their
late value. Barley is not so plentiful as of late, and makes Is.
more than last week. Oats and Shelling in very limited request
and rather easier. Beans remain as last stated.

LEEDS CORN MARKET. DEC. 14.
The reported supply of grain to-day is rather short, but many
samples have been sent from vessels on their passage between
Goole and bere. There is a good demand for Wheat and Bar-
ley at last week's rates, but sellers require ls. per qr. advance
on each, with which buyers reluctantly comply. Oats and
Beans the turn in favour of the buyer.

HULL CORN MARKET, DEC. 14.
We had at this day's market a fair show of Wheat from the
farmers; the condition was not generally good, and such as
was so, obtained Is. more money than last week. A good sup-
ply of new foreign, which sold at Is. to 2s. over the rates of
Tuesday last; inferior and damp, dull sale. Barley hAs reco-
vered from the late depression, and Is. per quarter dearer.
Beans, Peas, and Oats are dull, but supplies are moderate.

CORRESPONDENCE

TO THE TWENTY-TWO MEMBERS OF THE
COUNCIL WHO VOTED IN THE MINORITY
AGAINST THE AMENDMENT ON THE BUILD-
ING OF DOCKS AND WAREHOUSES.

GENTLEMEN,—It is impossible but that every burgess
of this great town must be interested in the important
'business brought before the Council on Wednesday last,
viz., " The increase of docks and warehouses, and their
liability for poors rates." On these subjects permit me
to remark, in the first place, that the building of ware-
houses round the docks is a great violation of justice to-
wards the owners and occupiers of private property of that
description, and against honest principle towards the mer-
cantile and general inhabitants of the town.
It cannot be right that the local public body should
endeavour to have a monopoly of the warehouse interest,
because, they being elected for the interest of the bur-
gesses at large, are taking from them those profits *hich
should be theirs, as also bringing to ruin that property
already built, and which is the support of so many thou-
sands of industrious people ; and if warehouses are to be
built, let it only be when they are wanted, for at present
two-thirds are unoccupied.
The principle is also bad for the mercantile interest ;
for by goods being taken into the dock warehouses, and
placed in pawn for freight and charges, tends to overtrad-
ing, and takes away that independence of every man upon
his own exertions and proper means, and by which Liver-
pool has been brought to be one of the most extensive
ports of commerce in the kingdom ; in addition to which,
the enormous charges to which the importer is liable, and
the taking away of all power over his own property, must
in time damp the energies of the most enterprising.
Independence is the very soul of every man who expects
to prosper by his own exertions, and the merchants that
for many years worked on this principle, and vied with
each other, are now to have their business taken out of
their hands, and to submit to the rules of that old lady—
London ;—a system which will never answer the striving
people of this great town.. . . . . .

. .
It appears, -therefore, to me, that neither increase of
docks or warehouses will be wanted for several years, and
especially at the present time, when all is to be done to
an enormous amount upon the loan or bankruptcy prin-
ciple, and when the capital of the country is already swal-
lowed up to a very great extent, leaving very little for the
support of commerce, and which now too late is found to
be so much wanted.

As to poor-rates on the dock warehouses, surely not one
of the Town Council could ever think in his conscience to
do such great injustice to the inhabitants, even those very
persons who elect them to see justice done to all, as not to
have the warehouses fully rated equal to private property
of that description ; and whatever may be the secret inten-
tions of the Dock Committee to benefit commerce, the
whole mass of inhabitants must be looked at, and justice
done to all.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION,

This election took place yesterday at Newton. There
being' only one candidate, and that the nominee'of the
League, the affair did not excite the least interest ; and
had it not been that the body granted free tickets to
Newton and back, to numbers of their minions from this
town and Manchester, there is great doubt whether the
sheriff's mandate, summoning his special county court,
would have draim. together a dozen freeholders. As it
was, about eighty 'persons travelled from this town, and
somewhere about the same number from Manchester. The
members of the Radical press were also supplied with free
tickets, of which the Manchester Guardian, distrusting,
we suppose, the talents of any single reporter to do full
justice to the proceedings, availed itself of no less than
three. We imagine one of our reporters quite capable of
affordingas comprehensive a report of theaffair as the reader
will thank us for, premising, however, that the cost is at
the expense of thel proprietors alone.
Shortly after ten o'clock the High-sheriff, Wm. Gale,
Esq., of Laburnham House, Ulverston, with the Under-
sheriffs, Mr. F. Yarker, solicitor, of Ulverston, and Mr.
Wilson, solicitor, of Preston. arrived in the room ; and
also the candidate and his friends, amongst whom we
noticed Wm. Earle, Esq., W. Rathbone, Esq., Wm.
Brown, Esq., of Liverpool ; R. Cobden, Esq., M.P.,
S. P. Robinson, Esq., George Wilson, Esq., W. Rayner

IRELAND.

The Limerick Reporter of Friday brings an account of
the murder of Thomas Murphy, a respectable farmer. He
was shot dead in his own parlour,and then robbed of £3O.
The Poor-law Commissioners of Ireland have about
nine Unions thrown upon their hands, the Guardians de-
clining to act.
The .murder of the Rev. Mr. Lloyd is stated to have
arisen from a deep-laid conspiracy among his own tenants.
The actual murderers and five of the conspirators are said
to be in custody.

The Dublin' Mail states, that the young Marquis of
Drogheda, who lately married the daughter of Lord
Wharncliffe, is on the list of proscribed victims. Her
ladyship found fault with the lazy manner of the work-
people in the house,—others were procured,—and this
change has given mortal offence. [This has since been
denied.]
At the repeal meeting, on Monday, there was a thin at-
tendance. Mr. Nicholas Maher was in the chair, and de-
clared that the repeal motion could not have been in worse
hands than Feargus O'Connor's. Henry Gratton and
Dillon Browne were abused in good style. Poor Ireland
was declared bankrupt and betrayed. The week's rent
was £22 ss.

CLERICAL LIFE NOT INSURABLE.—A very remarkable
_
petition—a singular and signal proof of the insecurity of
life in Ireland—was presented to the Houseof
n Member for
on the evening of Monday, by the
English Finsbury.

Irish clergymen from this mode of securing a provision
for their families after their death, unless the government
should guarantee against the intolerant malice of a fana-

—Father M'Dermott, an Irish Catholic priest, in a letter
published in one of the local newspapers, says :—" T have
to assure the public, by the most solemn asseverations a
clergyman can utter, that the late Major Mahon was never
denounced, nor even his name mentioned, from any cha-
pel altar in Strokestown, or within 20 miles, of Strokes-
town, on any Sunday before his death." In elucidation
of this positive assertion of Father M'Dermott, " an Irish
pee,' in a letter to the London Times says :—" The rev.
priest is quite right as to the word 'Sunday ;'—the late
Major, Mahon was denoanced from the altar on the 'Mon-
day' previous to his assassination ; that 'Monday' was a
saint's day, on which the Roman Catholic population
attend mass as regularly, and in as great numbers, as on
the Sabbath. This fact is known in Dublin Castle." As
a specimen of quibbling, the priest's assertion is worth),
of the cause which he has taken up to defend by special
pleading.
