Standard of last night, in which he says that " he has
no intention that this building should be devoted to the
purposes of the Catholic Church."

MARK LANE CORN MARKET-YESTERDAY.

The weather since our last report has been wet and showery,
and the country letters received this morning mention a gene-
ral upward movement in the price of W heat, which has impaiterl
a firm tone to our market this morning; and li,ving only a
small supply of Eng'ish from Essex and Kent, the stands were
cleared at an early hour at fully 2s. per qr. over the currency of
this day week. Free foreign was held for a sirn lar improve-
ment, but this tended to check busine-s. Some transactions
occurred in bonded, at 2s. to 3s. more money, and many satn-
pleswithdrawn from present sale.

We have had a good arrival of foreign Oa's during the past
week, and about eight or ten additional Irish vessels have got
in since Friday. We experienced a steady sale at former prices.
Parley, Malt, Peas, and Pears met a fair consumptive sate,
without any perce,,tible change in value.

SMITHFIELD MARKET-YESTERDAY

Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of bear,..
grazing districts were seasonably good, and on the increase
compared with those reported on Monday last. Notwithstanding
the attendance of buyers was rather numerous, we have to no-
tice a sluggish demand for all kinds of Beef, and, in most in-
stances, a decline in the currencie, o;.tained on this day se'nUghj
of 2d. per Sd. ; the highest general figure for the beSt :,cots being
4s. 4d. per 81b. In the qua By and condition of the beasts a
great improvement was noticed; indeed, we have seldom seen
a better coliecti n he eat any corresp• nding season.
The number of Sheep were somewhat less than those ex..
hibited last week. Prime old Downs sold freely, at extreme
quotations, while the value of othe • breeds was again supported.
The few store sheep on offer were held at unusually high figures.
For Lambs, the supply of which was not to say large, we had
a steady sale at full prices. The Veal trade was steady, at last
week's quotations. In Pigs very little business transacted.
