WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, MAY 19.
The supplies continue good of most articles. Wheat is held
firmly, and a fair business passing at somewhat better prices.
Barley does not meet with much inquiry. Oats and Shelling
fully realise the rates of last week. No change in the value of
Beans.

LADS CORN MARKET, 14TAY.16.

The arrival of grain is short to-day, but the weather continues
exceedingly fine, which had its usual effect upon the Wheat
trade, the best samples being offered at last week's prices. se-
condary and chambered qualities at ls. per qr. decline, but they
only. met a slow sale. The malting season is drawing to a close,
the inquiry for Barley is limited in consequence at late prices.
Oats Is. per qr. dearer. No advance could be obtained for

HULL CORN MARKET, MAY 16.
The market to-day was moderately supplied with Wheat.
Sellers generally refused the currency of this day week, which
tended to check the trade. But little spring corn remain in the
hands of the growers, and the supplies were barely sufficient
for the consumption of the town. Beans and Oats were in re-
quest, at 6d. to Is. per qr. higher. No Barley at market worth
notice. Nothing doing in other articles to alter the currency.
Spring crops, as well as Wheat, are much in want of rain.

We had a full attendance of both Cattle and Sheep. Prices
of good Beef same as last week, 50s. to 525. 6d, middling 445.
to 455. There was, however, more difficulty at this than the
preceding market to sell middling and inferior kinds owing to
the unusual number of stall-fed cows brought forward, which
generally were 6s. to Bs. a head lower; Veal, 70. The supply
of Sheep was also good, prices varying from Gd. to 73d. and
even Bd. per lb. ; Lambs, 158. to 225. and 235. each. Owing to
the very hot weather and difficulty of curing, best Bacon kinds
brought only from 48s. to 50s. The number of Pigs on sale
small.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 16.
From the continued detention of vessels in the Baltic, and
scarcely any spring shipments having yet come in from Ame-
rica, our supplies of foreign Grain, since this day week, are
perfectly insignificant, and those of English and Irish produce,
altogether, very limited in amount.
In several of the leading markets of this country and Ire-
land towards the end of last week, the Wheat trade was re-
ported somewhat more buoyant, in others rather the reverse,
but generally without any important change in prices : in
most directions, however, the value of all kinds of spring corn
inclined a little upwards, owing to the existing drought, and
though the Wheat plant is stated to be greatly improve& yet
for every other crop the want of rain is evident.
With a good attendance of millers at this day's market, the
Wheat trade assumed a better tone, particularly for Irish and
the lower kinds of foreign, in which a moderate business was
transacted at an advance of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. ; but in the
superior descriptions of either British or foreign no amend-
ment was realized.
Irish Flour was rather more saleable, at an improvement of
Is. per sack, but in American we have no change to note.
Grinding Barley 2s. per quarter dearer, and Malt fully sup-
ported late prices.
Beans generally obtained Is. per quarter over the rates last
noted. In Pease no variation.
Oats were taken off rather more freely, at an advance of ld
per 451 b. Oatmeal obtained rather higher rates.
Indian Corn continued to meet a very eager di

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,

Since our last, we have had a continuance of mild weather,
and some refreshing showers having fallen, the country, which
began to be parched, wears an improved appearance. We are
almost without any snnplies of water carriage. One small
cargo of Danzig Wheat reported to-day is about to be landed
in bond without being offered. The show of Wheat to-day
from the farmers was small, and the millers being very bare of
stock, an advance of 2s. per quarter was realized. There was
little foreign Wheat offering. Some small parcels of Greifs-
wald and fine Upland, were sold at 525. per quarter 63 lbs. per
bushel. In malting Barley not much passing; but a steady
demand for grinding sorts. Rye is occasionally asked for; but
none on the market. Oats being in short supply, met ready
sate, at a trifling improvement.

throughout the week, and prices must be quoted in some in-
stances Is. lower; the sales are 90 cases, 200 bags and barrels
Brazil, chiefly all faults, and 600 boxes new brown and yellow
Havana, at from 38s 6d. to 40s. 6d. per cwt. duty paid.—The

upward tendency; the sales are 400 casks, including a cargo of
new Trinidad at 185, 6d., Tortola at 188., and Demerara and St.

of new Jamaica took place on Tuesday last ; the quantity
offered was 200 casks, of which 160 casks were sold; the prices
sold were irregular, the greatest depreciation being apparent in
the fine ordinary to good middling qualities, which are the
most interfered with by Plantation Ceylon ; a few casks of fine
middling and fine brought 106 s. 6d. to 118 s. 6d. per cwt., prices
relatively much higher than those obtainable for Coffee a shade
lower in quality. No sales of foreign, or in Cocoa.-800 bags

gal. Rum : The market is steady, and the sales are about 200
casks, at the quotations.
Tea: During the week the market has assumed rather a
more quiet tone, and the transactions have been on a less scale,
but no alteration in prices can be quoted.
A few chests of Indigo have been disposed of at former rates,
20 chests of Shell Lac at 405., 150 chests of East India Gum

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MAY 19.
In the early part of the week there was a steady demand, and
the extreme prices of Friday last were readily obtained ; but'
since the arrival of the steamer, on Wednesday, the advices
being considered unfavourable to holders, combined with the
late large imports, have given more choice to the buyer, and
sales have been made at a reduction of Id. per lb. in the cur-
rent qualities of American from the prices of Friday last, at
which reduction the market is irregular, and fully supplied.
Brazil, Egyptian, and Surat continue as dull as before, but are
without any material change in price. Exporters have taken

were so cheap as they have been this year ' • and as our feeling
is, and always will be, to regulate prices to the consumer by

at No. 14, Dale-street. whence it is known we were the first to
give the Public the advantages THEY now receive in the price
of the choicest kinds of Tea.

Having REDUCED our best BLACK TEA from ss. per lb. to
4s. 4d. per lb., and the choicest GUNPOWDER from 7s. per
lb. to 6s. 6d. per lb.-we claim your support.
For the convenience of Families and many of our Friends, we
have OPENED the above PREMISES with a determination to
deal out the best qualities of TEAS at the LOWEST REMUNE-
RATING PRICES;-any person paying more than 48. 4d. per

WISBECH CORN MARKET, MAY 20.

•
There has been a usual supply of Wheat for this time of the
year, and no advance could be obtained, therefore business was
steady, without alteration on all articles of grain.

PRICES TO THE GROWER

Wheat, new white 60 to 631 b., 455. to 485., extra 50s. per qr.
Ditto, red Ditto, 435. to 455., ~ 475. ~
Oats lOO. to 110. per stone.
Beans, new 65 to 66i• 365. to 375., extra 38s. per qr.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1848-05-23

HULL CORN MARKET, MAY 16.

The market to-day was moderately supplied with Wheat.
Sellers generally refused the currency of this day week, which
tended to check the trade. But little spring corn remain in the
hands of the growers, and the supplies were barely sufficient
for the consumption of the town. Beans and Oats were in re-
quest, at 6d. to Is. per qr. higher. No Barley at market worth
notice. Nothing doing in other articles to alter the currency.
Spring crops, as well as Wheat, are much in want of rain.

ITALY.

PAPAL STATES.—The two Counts Mastai, brothers of
the Pope, arrived at Rome on the 9th, and immediately
had a long interview with him at the Quirinal. It is said
that on this occasion they did not conceal from the Pope
that his recent address to the Consistory had produced
the most unfavourable effect in the provinces.
The Piedmontese Gazelle of the 13th asserts that the
Pope sent an autograph letter to the Emperor of Austria,
offering his mediation, on condition of the unconditional
abandonment of Italy by Austria. The Pope invokes the
right which nations have to reconstitute themselves ; and
concludes, that, after the late events in Lombardy, it has
become impossible for Austria any longer to govern
Italy.
INCORPORATION OF LOMBARDY WITH PIEDMONT.—
The Provisional Government at Milan has published a
proclamation stating :that in the opinion of the Govern-
ment the only means of effectually driving the Austrians
out of Lombardy, and establishing its independence, is to
form a union with Piedmont. Registers will be opened
in all the communes of Lombardy, to receive the votes of
the inhabitants, so that the question may be decided by
the universal suffrage of the people.
REPORTED VIOLATION OF TIIE SWISS TERRITORY.
—An Austrian division is reported to have violated the
Swiss territory by marching through the Canton of
Grisons to attack the Piedmontese army in the rear.

SPAIN.

Madrid papers of the 12th have arrived. The drum-
major of the regiment of Espana was shot at noon that
day, pursuant to his sentence. Ihe funeral of Fulgosio
took place on the 10th. He was buried with great pomp
at St. Nicholas, outside the Puerta Atocha. The Union
Bank has been declared bankrupt. It is said that another
angry correspondence has taken place between Sir H.
Bulwer and the Duke of Sotomayor. Sir H. Bulwer had
sent the whole correspondence to the Government at home.
It was thougnt that Sir H. Bulwer could not remain at
Madrid. M. Bushenthal, M. Samson, and several others
had been sent away from Madrid. Several sergeants were
shot on the 12th.

Madrid papers state that a royal decree was promulgated
degrading Don Henrique and depriving him of his rank
and honours as an Infante of Spain.

Intelligence has been received from South America

rana river.

• The Political Indicator of Berlin contains an official
declaration, that the Prince of Prussia is not to return to

sembly, on the 22nd.
EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA.—The following is an ex-
tract from a letter, dated Sydney, Jan. 8 :—" We are
much obliged for the stir you are making about emigration ;
we are off for labour in all parts of the colony ;
men just do as they like ; the lumpers, for instance,
struck work this week, and succeeded in getting 6s. per day
—this in a country where meat is ld. per lb., and bread
lid. In the interior the servants are masters, and idle
one-half their time. You must strain every nerve to send
us relies, for fully three-fourths of the 5,000 emigrants
now coming out will be instantly absorbed on landing for
domestic servants in Sydney, Melbourne, &c."
AN UNFORTUNATE AND FATAL MISTAKE.—The fol-
lowing intelligence has been received at Lloyd's relative
to a serious act of aggression committed on one of the
Austrian Lloyd's steamers, accompanied by lamentable
loss of life :—On the 2nd of April the Mahoudie left
Trieste for Pola. She had on board three hundred sol-
diers, and on entering the port was taken for a Sardinian
war vessel, and, before the port could be undeceived, was
fired at, and the unfortunate captain and mate, besides
several officers and troops, fell victims. A number imme-
diately jumped overboard, but were unable to reach the
land, and were drowned. Before the batteries of the
town had discovered their error, the vessel was on fire.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MAY 19.

In the early part of the week there was a steady demand, and
the extreme prices of Friday last were readily obtained ; but
since the arrival of the steamer, on Wednesday, the advicea
being considered unfavourable to holders, combined with the
late large imports, have given more choice to the buyer, and
sales have been made at a reduction of id. per lb. in the cur-
rent qualities of American from the prices of Friday last, at
which reduction the market is irregular, and fully supplied.
Brazil, Egyptian, and Surat continue as dull as before, but are
without any material change in price. Exporters have taken
2400 American► and 100 Pernam, and speculators 1200 American.
