Coax-ExcnAutm, Manta 31.—Although the
supply of Engaish Corn at ma►ket this morning was
but smell, yet it was more time the demand required,
arid sales of ell Groins were exceedingly heavy ; bet
foe Las 'mantles of Wheat, Barley, and Oats Mon.
dare prime were obtained ; butt for the inferior de-

Yesterday, the friends of Mr. Aldermen Wood
dined together et the London Tavern, to celebrate
the return of that Gentlemen to Parliament. Mr.
Williams, M. P., filled the Chair, and in cones-
quince of the floes* of Commontsising et an may
hour, many of its Members were present. Among
them we observed Lord John Russell, Lord Kipling-
ton, Mr. Bennett, Aldermen Weitbmen and Thorp,
and others. The company amounted altogether to
about WO persons. A. soon es the cloth •as re-
moved, the toast of " The King" was drank its
solemn silence; that of " The Priors Re 41,111" suc-
ceeded, and was drank nearly in a similar manlier ;
for although it wasanooenced Cr.. the Chair " with
three times three," we did not bear a single cheer
throeghout the whole mem.

Up-on Om health of Mr. Alderman Wood being
proposed by the Chsirmap, the Worthy Alderman
returned thanks for the high honour conferred sport
him, and said, while he continued to possess the
confidence of his Constituents, be should do all in
his power to tender himself worthy of their favour.
The Citittankst, in moving the thanks to the three
other Representatives of the City, espressed his re.
yet that one of them (Mr. Wilson) was now abaent.
Although that Gentleman might differ in political
opinions from those present, yet be believed 'bat the
vote he gave was a conscientious ooe.

Mr. Alderman WAVIIIIIAIN and Mr. Alderisam
Tamer returned thanks.
The hesiths of Lord John Russell and Lard
Ebriegion were also drank, and the ackneeledg-
manta of both were refereed in appropriate speeches.
' The health of " the Friend of the Friendless,"
this Honourable Mr. Bennett, was neat drank with
greet applause. _ _

Mr. ilsask-rt impressed his plesanre at being able

friend, Mr. Alderman Wood. Mr. Alderman Wool
had been termed on oppasitionist ; he did not thick
that this was a fair term to apply to any man, as it
was one which was much misunderstood. If by this
Orme was meant a man who would vote for W pod
Government instead of a bud one—who would vote
for the alleviation of the burdens of the People, in-
stead of loading them with more oppressive tam-A-
who would vote for the liberty of his cnvintrymen,
inatead of the Suspension of thy Habeas Corp.. Act
and Indemnity Bills, then be would agree that it was
a most Ili and proper term. iVith regard to the cha-
racter of the Worthy Aldermen, his frllow.cilizens
end those pretest hid only teen him performing, as
a Magistrate, the vigorous defies of his office ; but
he (Mr. Bennett) was more acgoainted with his pri-
vate character, and had seen him exe►cising his he.
mane disposition in alleviating the distresses of the
unfortunate, and in supporting the drooping heed of
the hroken•hearted.
