LONDON CORN EXCHANGE-YESTERDAY.

At our market this morning we had a fair show of English
Wheat fresh up from the neighbouring counties ; and having
experienced an improving demand from our millers, a clear-
ance was readily effected, the best samples realising an ad-
vance of Is_ per quarter on the quotations of this day
se'nnight. Free foreign Wheat was likewise more inquired
for, and a similar improvement was obtained on the finest
qualities. There was not much doing in Flour, but both
town and country manufactured fully supported last week's
prices. In grinding Barley there was a fair steady business
transacted, and the rates of Monday last were steadily main-
tained. We have to report a moderate fresh arrival of Oats.
Coastwise and from Ireland the trade in this Grain was by no
means brisk, but factors being firm in their demands, pur-
chases could not have been made on lower terms than on this
day se'nnight. Beans and Peas were in short supply, and
quite as dear.

MWEIGHT OF LETTERS.—By an attention to the following
particulars the troublesome operation of weighing a letter to
send by post will be rendered perfectly unnecessary. The
weight which a letter may pass through the post-office to
\any distance for one penny is half an ounce, or 2181 grains.
An ordinary sheet of post quarto writing paper weighs about
120 grains ; large thick post, 180 ; small thin post, such as is
used on the continent, about 65 grains. The ordinary quan-
tity of wax upon a letter weighs six grains ; 20 dips of ordi-
nary ink from a steel pen weighs about four grains ; when the
moisture is evaporated it only weighs one grain. A drop of
water weighs about one grain ; a letter carried in the hand
exposed to a slight shower will gain in weight from 10 to 25
grains in five minutes :—No. 1, post quarto sheet of paper,
120 grains ; wax six grains, ink one grain ; total 127 grains.
No. 2, thick
.post, 180 grains ;
.wax six grains ; ink one grain ;
total 187 grains. No. 3, small thin post, 65 grains; wax six
grains ; ink one grain ; total 72 grains. Thus a letter con-
sisting of a sheet and a half of No. 1, or of three sheets of
No. 3, may be transmitted for a penny.
