WINDSOR—FnIDAY

Instated in my communication to the 'Morning Herald, a
few:weekmjnee, that. his Majesty ,the King of the Belgians
intended to present 'Pritie Albert with Claremont, as one of
his royal liighness'S county residenCes in Etiglawl, imme-
diately uponlis marriage with her Majesty. King Leopold's
determination is now about being carried litto effect ; but it
is rumoured that the.first occupant of Claremont will be the
Belgian Sovefeign's sister, the Duchess of Kent, who will
retire, temporarily, to Claremont, shortly after the marriage
of the Queen has been celebrated. It is further rumoured
that her royal highness will ultimately retire, for a term, to
the continent. The truth of this report is strengthened by
the fact, of some reductions having just taken place in the
Duchess,of Kent's household. Her royal highness's prin-
-eipal page, Mr..Fronchet, has very recently been discharged
upon a pension, and has left for the continent.
It is expected that the Baroness Lehien will continue to
hold the same appointment about the person of the Queen
which she has hitherto filled.
It has been considered as not a /dile extraordinary that
since her Majesty's, departurerfrom the castle to Buckingham
'Palace, the names of her illustrions mother and the Baroness
Lehzen have never, upon any one occasion,' appeared amongst
those who have been honoured by her Majesty's commands
to dine, at the royal table.
The liberals in the town, who last week got up a public
meeting for the purpose of voting a congratulatory address
to her Majesty upon her marriage, entirely forgot the prince.
They have, therefore, forwarded another requisition to the
mayor, who has appointed another meeting of the inhab.tants,.
to take place in the Town-hall, on Tuesday next, to vote an
address to his royal highness.

The receipts into this port since Tuesday last embrace a
moderate supply of Wheat and Oats, but of any other kind
of Grain we have very little to notice. Of Oatmeal, how-
ever, upwards of 14,500 sacks, with 1,535 sacks of Flour,
have arrived during the week from Ireland, and 3,000 barrels
of Flour from New York.

Having but a limited attendance of both town and counts..
Millers, the demand for Wheat to-day was upon a very mo-
derate scale, and, with the exception of a slight improvement
in good descriptions of Mediterranean, all sorts of English,
as well as Foreign, remained unaltered in value ; and Irish
new being scarcely noticed, must be deemed nominally rather

cheaper.
English and Irish Flour continued to rule nearly the same
as described on Friday. Duty paid Foreign, on the con-
trary, was more saleable on the fall terms last noted, and
bonded parcels would move off readily at 30s. ; but the hol-
ders still adhering to 31s. per barrel, sales could not be
effected.

Malting Barley was in slow request, and rather cheaper;
but good sweet grinding parcels, of which none remain un-
sold, would command late prices.—ln Malt, Beans, and
Pease, we have no change to remark.
Choice Mealing Oats met some inquiry, and obtained Id.
per 451bs. over our last quotations, while in other descrip-
tions there was no amendment.

Oatmeal %vas in very limited demand, and hardly main-
tained the rates of this day, se'nnight.

LIVERPOOL corroN MARKET, FEB. li.

There was a fair attendance of the trade in the early part of the

and although the inquiry rather abated on Wednesday, iu conse-

has since revived, and the market closed at rather higher rates for
the better classes of American, whilst Brazil and all other kinds
continue heavj of sale at previous prices. Speculators have taken
3300 bales American, and exporters 1500 American.

abroad consist of 6100 barrels of Flour and 390 qrs. of Wheat from
the United States. Though we have not had anything like an active
demand for Wheat, holders of free foreign (the stocks of which arc
now small) have not only been able fully to maintain prices, but
have, in some instances, realized a little advance on the quotations
of this day se'nnight : 113 to lls 6d on the preSent rates for lower
Baltic red; lOs 6(1 to 11 sad for French and Barletta ; 105 3d to 11 s
for the general runs of Mediterranean ; los 6d to lOs gd for Odessa
soft, and gs tid to gs pd per 70Ib. for hard. Irish new Wheat con-
tinues to be much neglected at prices ranging from 6s to 7s 6d per
701bs American Flour, duty-paid, has met a moderate sale at 433
to 435 6d per barrel. The Oats offering have consisted chiefly of
the secondary qualities, which have sold slowly at 3s 8d to 35 9d
choice mealing are worth 3s 10d per 431bs. Oatmeal has moved
only in retail at 33s 6d to 343 bd per 2rolbs. The market has be-
come bare of all descriptions of Barley, and fine Malting samples
are held for rather higher prices. No change as regards Beans or
Peas. The transactions in bond consist of the sale of about 3000
brls. of American Flour, to arrive, at rlOs per barrel, taken from the
ship.

fmptrial parliamtnt.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—TaunspAY..
A bill, of which the object was stated by the Marquis of
NORMANDY to be to enable the visiting magistrates, with
the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to relax the regu-
lations of the Prisons Acts, as regarded debtors who were
confined in the same prisons with criminals, was read ase-
cond time, and ordered to be committed the next day.
The Marquis of WESTMINSTER brought forward the
motion, of which he gave notice. towards the latter end of
last session, on the subject of railroads, and the supply of the
metropolis with water. He wished to have the attention of
a committee directed to the measures which he understood,
by conversing with eminent engineers, were practicable for
adding to the security of railroads. With respect to the
supply of water, he enumerated the various companies which
had been formed, and their plans, and concluded by moving
for a select committee, to take into consideration the present
state of railroads, in regard especial'y to the means of security
.against unforeseen dangers ; also to take into consideration
the present supply of water to the metropolis, and the state
of the sewers.

The Marquis of LAICSDOWNE thought it would be more
convenient if the questions were separated.
The Earl of ABERDEEN deprecated an inquiry to discover
some means of security against unforeseen dangers, as no acci-
dents of the kind contemplated had yet occurred on railroads.
He should not offer any objection to the inquiry proposed re-
specting the supply of water to the metropolis.
After some conversation, the Marquis of WESTMINSTER,
agreeably to what appeared to be the general feeling, con-
sented to abandon the first part of the subject (railways),
and to confine his motion solely to the supply of water and to
sewers.

Viscount DUNCANNON having afterwards suggested that
the noble marquis had better confine his motion to the supply
of water alone, his lordship assented ; and the motion, as
agreed to, was " That a select committee be appointed to
take into considerationt he supply of water to the metropolis."

as to allow of the permanent way being laid this is done on
the greater part of the line. The most forward district is
that situated between Derby and Barnsley. One line of rails
is now nearly all laid for the whole distance, which is 'about
50 miles, great exertions having been made to accomplish
this, as it is expected the directors will pass along the line
with a locomotive engine, between the towns of Derby and
Barnsley, very shortly—probably next week. In the neigh-
bourhood of Belper, Clay Cross, Staveley, &c., the works
are proceeding night and day, in order to have a road through
the large excavations in those districts. The first class sta-
tions are nearly all contracted for, and several of them are in
a forward state. The Eckington one is nearly ready for the
roof ; the Chesterfield and Southwingfield stations are also
far advanced ; the Leeds and Sheffield stations have been let
out during the week. The latter one is contracted for by
Mr. Crawshaw, and will be situated near the entrance of the
Sheffield and Rotherham railway. It will he a large and
convenient station; the cost is estimated at about £8,000.

SHEFFIELD AND ROTHERHAM RAILWAY.
HALF-YEARLY MEETING.

The half-Yearly meeting of the proprietors of the Sheffield
and Rotherham Railway Company was held on Wednesday
last, but we regret that we cannot find room for the details
this week. We are glad to find that the undertaking is in so
prosperous a condition as to allow of a dividend at the rate
of £6 per cent. per annum being declared. We are glad to
find also that the shares are on the advance, being now about
7 premium. A highly respectable correspondent informs us
that a new station at the Sheffield' terminus, with booking
offices and other rooms suitable for the joint use of the Shef-
field and Rotherham Company and the North Midland Com-
pany, is being erected on a splendid scale, and is expected
to be finished in April ready for the opening of the North
Midland, the two Companies having agreed on the prelimi-
naries of a treaty whereby passengers may travel from Shef-
field to Leeds or Derby in the same carriage in which they
seat themselves at first, and thence forward to the metropolis
of the county or kingdom.—Railway Times.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY.

After the presentation of many petitions, Lord SANDON
inquired whether Sir R. Inglis would defer till after. Easter,
and thereby oblige many parties, his contemplated motion for
Tuesday next, as to " the duty of the nation to provide for all
the people further and full means of public worship and re-
ligious instruction in the established church.

Sir R. 'Nous said that he bad received so many solicita-
tions on the subject, that he yielded, though very reluctantly,
to defer his very important motion till after Easter.
Mr. EWART stated that it was his intention hereafter to
move that a copy of the warrant of his late Majesty throwing
open the Court of " Common Pleas" to the legal profession
generally, together with a copy of the judgment delivered by
the judges of that court, again shutting it to all but a privi-
leged class (the sergeants.)
Mr. HumE saidthat on Thursday he proposed to move for
a return, showing the state of representation in England,
Scotland, and Ireland, being a continuation of that which
was made in 1834. Also, that on going into committee of
supply he should move for copies of all communications,
papers, and despatches addressed to her Majesty's Govern-
ment, on the subject of the war in China. And that to-mor-
row he should ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to fix a
time to bring on his motion for a •elect committee to inquire
into the system of banking.

CHINA.

In answer to a question from Mr. GEORGE PALMER, with
respect to the granting of clearances of British vessels for
China,
Mr. LABOUCHERE stated that, in granting such clear-
ances, the government assumed no responsibility as to the
regulations which might be made by the Chinese govern-
ment, or the changes which might take place in our political
relations with that country.

On Mr. HUME declaring that it appeared to him very
essential to the commerce of the country, that merchants
should be informed what had been the nature of the instruc-
tions sent out by the government,
Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that government could not enter
into explanations on a subject of the kind without notice.

STATE OF TRADE

LEEDS.—We are happy to be able to report symptoms of
a revival of trade in Leeds. At the cloth halls, on Saturday
and Tuesday, considerable business was done, though at low
prices ; and the business of the warehouses, generally is re-
viving. We are glad to hear from Liverpool that there has
lately been a large increase in the quantity of goods sent out
of that port.
BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—A more extensive business in
wool has been done during the week, at firm prices. In
English wools, no alteration. There continues to be a steady
demand for yarns, prices steady. The amount of business
done during the week and to-day, in the piece market, is
rather over an average of what has been done for several
weeks past. In prices no improvement can be quoted.
YORK WOOL MARKET, AUG. 6.—We have to-day no
quotable difference in price from our report of this day
se'nnight.—Leeds Intelligencer.
LEICESTER TRADE. —There is no improvement in the

demand for goods ; but, as we are approching the season
when a better home trade may be expected, we hope, in
another week, we shall be able to give a more cheerful report.
In wool but little is doing ; the Yorkshire markets are very
flat, and the tendency somewhat lower. The growers are
firm holders, and wool cannot be bought from them at present
to meet the prices of the Yorkshire manufacturer.—Leicester
Chronicle.

In the MARKET for METALS, British iron continues to
wear a very drooping appearance, and the quotations are
lower by about ss. per ton. In English lead a considerable
trade has taken place, at an advance of 7s. 6d. per ton ; Spa-
nish lead also has advanced to £l7 155., at which rate there
is now none to be obtained. East India tin is rather lower;
some small transactions having taken place at 735. 6d. for
Straits, and for Banco 725. per cwt. Spelter is in slow de-
mand, but small sales have been made at £2l. 12s. 6d.,
delivered on the spot.
