We have main to' report very scanty arrivals. of Grain and
Flour, coastwise Sind from Ireland, and a moderate quantity
only of Oatmeal thence since this day weelcv these, however,
are abundantly compensated by considerable. importations of
foreign Wheat and'Flour ; the former from America, the North
and South of Europe, and Egypt,—the latter,exclusively from
the' United States and France; the Beans and 'lndian Corn
chiefly from the" Mediterranean, including; Egypt.
We had a tolerable number of town and•eountry buyers at
our Corn Excinttrse to-day, and rather more business was done
in Wheat than last week ; on the whole,'.however, the sales
were only on rntoderate scale, and prices• of all descriptions
remain tinvaried from those of this day se2nnight.

Flour was irr zlow request; American and French barely sup-
ported late prices, and Irish was decidedly Is. per sack
cheaper.

COMMERCIAL AND MONETARY REPORT.

Monday Night.
The Share Market has been very inactive all week, and
prices have slightly declined. This is attributed to the
unsettled state of French politics. There has not, how-
ever, been any pressure of sales, but perhaps rather a
preponderance of buyers. The contangoes being much
lighter this account (the settlement of which is now in
progress) than for several accounts back, shew that stock
is being taken off the market by investors. The quota-
tions of to-day are—Caledonian, 101.; Leeds stock, 567, i;
Thirsk. 131 ; Berwicks, 181; London stock, 124 ; Ditto
Quarters, 3 pm. ; Ditto C Quarters, 21 pm. ; Midland;
48 ; Ditto Halves, 191 d.; Dovers, 23 ; Oswestrys, 91 ;
Scottish Central, 131.

Since the date of our Friday's circular, the Cotton mar-
ket has remained in the same inactive state, and prices
have given way nearly id. per lb. On Saturday the
market was flat, and 3,000 bales changed hands, at slightly
reduced prices ; of that 200 were taken for export. The
sales to-day amount to 4,000 bales, 200 are for export,
and the market flat, at reduced quotations. The total
import since Friday is 14,735 hales.

The following, (rom the Birmitukam Gazette of to-
day, on the prospects of the iron trade, is important :
" Though the present mor3 promising anticipations seem
to be justified to a considerable extent by the activity of
our export trade, both in metals and hardware, there are
other circumstances that exercise a controllitig influence
over the price of iron. The diappointment of similai
sanguine expectations at the corresponding period of last
year is not vet forgotten, and it is palpable that any at-
tempt in' taffordshire to establish an advance, independ-
ently of other districts, would fail. In \Vales the vast
pro4uction is still on the increase, and from Scotland the
reports are similar, though a slight reduction of make in
pig iron took place during last year, in consequence or a
strike among the colliers there ; since they have returned
to Their work at lower wages, the quantities made are
reported to be in excess of anything previously known ;
While the exports from that country in 1850 have fallen
short of those in 18-19 by 50,000 tons—hence an accumu-
lation of stock unfavourable to higher prices. The ques-
tion of an increased tariff upon cur importations in the

le great ou

tion of iron, is also still in agitation, and should it be
carried to any extent, or even if, as most probably will be
the case, it should be continued as at present, we see no
reason, with the increasing energy and enterprise of the
ironmasters there, to look for an extension of our ex-
ports in that quarter equivalent to the extended make.

—Oar European connections are scarcely in so satisfactory
a condition as last year, and under all these considera-
tions our ironmasters are wisely acting with caution.
Though a return to such prices as would remunerate for
risk and capital extended is very desirable, the indica-
tions that a proper period is arrived for the attempt are
not yet very apparent."

THE PAPAL STATES

ROME, JAN. 2

In the present agitated state of public opinion in Eng-
land on the'late inroads of the Papal power, it is important
to know when conversions of persons distinguished by
their position-in society take place from either one church
or the other. For that reason I think it right to inform
you that yesterday (New Year‘s Day) Lord Campden,
son of the'Earl of Gainsboroueh, and Lady Campden made
a public recantation from the Protestant faith, and were
received into the Roman Catholic Church. Lord and
Lady 'Fielding, who have also lately come over, were pre-
sent, as well as several other persons who have preceded
or followed their example. In fact, Rome is crowded at
this moment with English co' vents from every rank in
society, and the Roman nobility vie with each other in
paying them the most marked attention. In all public
ceremonies they obtain the best places, and the Pope and
the Cardinals never fail to notice them in public

_,ewlyear's evening was distinguished by one of the
most splendid fetes ever given at Rome. The Prince
Cardinal Altieri, President of Rome, and Comarca, (amed
his magnificent palace in the Piazza del Jesu. Every
person of consideration, foreign and native, was invited,
end the numerous salons were resplendent with beauty
-cud diamonds. Among the ladies most distinguished foi
personal appearance and brilliant costumes was the Prin

Tarlonia, who was !item. .—aze of diamonds,
many of which were said.to have once belonged to the
shrine of our Lady of Loretto. A diadem composed of
'brilliants and pearls eclipsed everything in the way of
1 ornament present, and it is said to he not only one of the
26'0 ;' most gorgeous, but the most costly parure belonging to

any private person in Europe. The next verSon4e,
who divided general attention with Madame Tarlonia,
was the Princess Doria, daughter of the Earl of Shrews-
bury. On this occasion she produced, from caskets
where they had long 'been bidden, the costly heir-looms
of the Pamfili family. The value of these jewels is
almost inestimable, not only on account of their intrinsic
worth, but their historical association, as many of them

CRUELTY TO A SERVANT.—A ease having something
of the features of that of the unfortunate Jane Wilbred
'has just been brought before a bench of Worcestershire
magistrates. In this case the ill-used domestic was a
-young girl named Hannah Hinton, who at Michaelmas
.last was hired at a statute fair or" mop," where men and
women congregate together at. the fall of the year, on par-
ticular days, for the purpose of being hired, chiefly as
farm servants, day labourers, waggoners, ploughmen,
fairymaios, and maids of all work. The person by whom
-she was hired on this occasion was Mr. John Lee, a
farmer of Kempsey, near Worcester, who engaged her as
utrsemaid to his children at the wages of £2 per year.
The girl was never healthy or strong, but has become
'ouch emaciated since her ent--

_ay upon her new service. Ja
her appearance before the magistrates she appeared much
emaciated, and her features appeared pinched and care-
worn, her general appearance being that of s person much
older. She deposed to frequent castigations inflicted by
ber•master and mistress, but especially the latter. Her
master had struck her over the head with a pair of leg-
gings, because she had not got the fire lighted at seven
oclock in the morning ; and just before uhristmas
Lee called her a " nasty hussy," and picking 1
the arms threw her down stairs. She added--

She al:

represented that the food which was given to her was
scanty, and when she had meat or dripping upon her
bread, it Novas stale and offensive to the nose and palate.
Mrs. Powell, a neighbour to the Lees, deposed to the
ill treatment of the girl. On a Sunday evening witness
heard a great ,noise as of something falling down stairs,
and great cursing and swearing from Mr. and Mrs. Lee,
and the girl Hinton was crying. Next morning the girl
told witness that her mistress had pushed her down stairs
from the top to the bottom, and had hurt her thigh.
Witness saw a large bruise on her thigh, about the size
of her hand. Had often heard Mrs. Lee threaten to kill
the girl, knock herbrains out, &c. She (the girl) looked
very bad six weeks ago, but looked worse now. She had
come to witness many times and begged for a bit of
victuals—" a bit of bread or a cup of coffee." Last
Sunday she sent witness's little girl to her to ask her
for a potato. The potatoes were not quite cooked,
and she sent her a bit of pudding. The girl had
told witness many times that she had not had half

cruelty exercised by Mrs. Lee towards the girl, who had
often complained to witness that she was kept short of
food,, beaten, and ill-used. Had known Mrs. Lee beat
her with a walking stick, and heard the girl scream out.
Had also heard threats used towards her, both by Mr.
and Mrs. Lee. The girl had shown to witness the food
that had been given to her. It was bread, with some-
thing like lard upon it, and which " smelt very bad."
