ROYAL MARINE RESIDENCE.

The treaty for Norris Castle has terminated unsuccess-
fully. Rumour states that the great impediment was the
high price required. If this be the case, a correspondent
has suggested a place admirably adapted for the proposed
object, where the sum required is not likely to be an ob-
stacle. Our readers must have heard a few years since
very much about the Baroness de Feucheres, whose com-
plicated law proceedings ended very triumphantly two
years ago ; she, however, was only spared a year or two
to enjoy her triumphant success and her great wealth.
It may be remembered she erected a splendid marine villa
in the New Forest, close to Christchurch, where the bath-
ing is as proverbially as good as any in England. We
have been favoured at Mr. George Robin's office with a
sight of the drawings which were perfected by a first-rate
artist of Southampton, when the sale was in contempla-
tion three years ago, and it gives a very just idea of the
imposing character of the building. Some little notion
may be formed by an intimation that this splendid abode
cost twenty thousand pounds, quite independently of the
little park, of thirty-one acres, and the beautiful grounds
and gardens that sut round it. It is accounted the most
attractive feature of the New Forest ; and the accommoda.
tion, it is apprehended, is quite equal to the expectation
the word " comfort" would imply in its most compre-
hensive meaning. Besides the great desideratum will be
found in its approximation upon the sea, from which it is
only distant a short five minutes' walk. This favoured
property is consigned by the present owner to the fate of
Mr. George Robins's hammer in the spring, but he will
necessarily be but too happy to negotiate for its occupa-
tion by our good Queen and her lovely infants during the
bathing season. Some faint idea of the sort of place we
have been noticing, may be inferred from a very short
but pithy paragraph of " the knight of the hammer,"
which we extract from his printed particulars of the sale :
—" The Baroness has given unequivocal proof of her
extraordinary taste in the arrangement of this domicile ;
and the accomodation is perfect as to leave nothing to be
desired. Twenty-fivebeds can, on an emergency, be made
up. The arrangement has evidently been planned by the
hand of an artiste, and one highly gifted. It very nearly
approaches perfection ; which, indeed, seems to reign
triumphantly through `these regions of splendour and
delight.' The effect in the grand suite is absolutely
electrical. The entree to the mansion is by a lodge of
clever design, and a circuitous route through the prolific
plantations and pleasure grounds leads to the novel scene
of several rural bridges across the meandering stream,
which is seen pursuing its natural course until it is ex-
hausted in the wide ocean." Such is the brief outline of
Mr. George Robins' description. If Royalty do not pre-
viously fall in love with it, he will offer it for unreserved
sale in the month of May,. together with the elegant fur-
niture and effects. It is five hours' journey from the
metropolis.—Sun.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, THIS DAY.

(From Messrs. R. Makin Sr Sons' Circular.)

A considerable number of Grain and other vessels
have entered this port since Friday, which, with those up
previously during the week, furnish an abundant supply
of Wheat, Barley, Oats, Flour, and Oatmeal, Coastwise
and from Ireland; exclusive of 2700 qrs. of Wheat from
Egypt and Trieste, and 1150 barrels of Flour from St.
John's, New Brunswick.

Influenced by these large arrivals, the market this
morning, though tolerably well attended by town and
country buyers, was extremely dull for Wheat of all de-
scriptions ; and had sales been practicable beyond a li-
mited amount, an abatement of id. to 2d. per nibs. from
Friday's prices must have been generally conceded ; the
transactions altogether were so trivial, however, and
holders disinclined to submit to any material reduction,
that we are barely justified in altering our quotations.
Flour, of all denominations, was equally difficult to sell,
and may be considered the turn cheaper.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, affected in like man-
ner by the increased supplies at hand, were little noticed,
and slightly depressed in value.
