LONDON ARKET.—YESTERDAY.
Supplies of WbeatCOßN moderatMe, but, owing to the wet state of
the weather, the condition of the samples was only middling.
Factors purchased very slowly, and a reduction of full Is. per
qr. was taken, except on finest kinds. Foreign in large supply,
and all qualities met a dull sale, at Is. per qr. lower. Flour
dull, and in most cases lower rates submitted to. Beans and
Peas moved off tardily, and the little business done was at
prices a turn in favour of the buyer. Barley and Malt dull of
sale, and rather easier to purchase. Oats in large supply:
trade dull for all kinds, although 6d. per qr. lower rates than
on Monday was accepted. Seeds ofall kinds scarcely enquired
after. English White Wheat, 395. to 48s. ; Red, 378. to 495.
SECOND REPORT.
Trade ruled very dull for both English and Foreign Wheat,
and, before a clearance could be made, a reduction of 2s had
to be adopted. Foreign also sold languidly, at a similar re-
duction. Top price of Town. made Flour was the same, but all
other kinds easier to buy. Barley and Malt a retail sale, at
prices in favour of buyer. Beans and Peas also dull of sale,
and the few purchases made at rather low prices. Oats offered
more freely, and, before close of market, sales could be made
fully is. per qr. under last Monday's terms. No change in
Seeds, and market very dull. English White Wheat, 388. to
478.; Red, 365. to 41s.

LONDON PRODUCE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The Tallow market se ady, with a fair consumptive demand
P.S.C., on spot, 36s 9d to 375, and 38s 6d to 38s 9d for I.st mr.

against 27.2715 deliveriek
last week- 1696 casks against 1050 in same time last year.
Home made 38s long price.—Purchases of Coffee made by the
home trade at 48s for good ordinary, but there are few specula-
tive buyers at 47s to 478 6d per cwt.—Large public sales of Su-
gar, Dye Stuffs, and Drugs are announced, and an impression
exists that prices will be lower.—Articles used in Manufactures
are well.—Provisions dull.—No change in Metals.

We are glad to hear that our resident professors,
Messrs. Percival, Ryalls, and Lewis, together with Miss
Whitnall, are giving concerts in the provinces with great,
success.

The proposition of Mr. Ferrand for the formation of
"A Farmers' Wool League" is causing great excitement
in Yorkshire. Many meetings are to be held during the
present month.

- ANOTHER NEW DRAPERY ESTABLISHMENT.—WO
learn that Messrs. Frisby and Dyke, of London, have
taken the shops so long occupied by Mr. Tuton, in Lord-
' street, as well as the premises adjoining. Mr. Tuton is
consequently positively selling off his stock.
JUDGE OF THE LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURTS.—We
understand that Mr. W. Jtamshay, a barrister of several
years standing on this circuit, has been appointed by the
Earl of Carlisle to succeed the late Mr. Lowndes. The
learned gentleman is, we believe, a brother of the noble
Earl's steward.
THE CLAIM AGAINST THE WIGAN BANK.—The re-
sult of the action, brought by Ellen Southworth, of St.
Helens, against the Messrs. Woodcock, of Wigan (the
chief features of which were given in our publication of
the 9th inst.), is against the defendants. The decision is
for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed on her behalf,
with nominal damages. As admitted by the learned
counsel who appeared at the reference in behalf of the
plaintiff, it is a hard case that the bankers, who are other-
wise irreproachable, should have to refund money drawn
under misleading pretences by a third party, who assumed
to be an agent; but as thore was no express authority
from the principal, or her mark, on the disputed check!,
incautiously paid, Mr. Thorburne contended that it
would be much harder that the poor woman he represen-
ted should have to lose all her savings.
The late Mr. Douce always maintained that the proper
name of the Jews'-harp was jaw's harp, and that the Jews
had no special concern with either its invention or its use.

CUNNING AND DISCRETION.— Cunning has only pri-
vate, selfish aims, and sticks at nothing which may make
them succeed. Discretion has large and extended views,
and, like a well-formed eye, commands a whole horizon :

cunning is a kind of shortsightedness, that discovers the
minutest objects which are near at hand, but is 2zot able
to discern things at a distance. Discretion, the more it
is discovered, gives a greater authority to the person who
p )sgesses it : cunning, when it is once detected, loses its
f ,ree, and makes a man incapable of bringing about even
