These frequent

slips, which are, on every account, much to be regretted,
might have been avoided by the construction of a tunnel in
the first instance, instead of malting a cutting.

It is a remarkable circumstance that the heirs of three earl-
doms should, after only enjoying seats in the lower house
during the short session of last autumn, lose those seats
by succeeding to peerages—we allude to the present Lord
Falmouth, the present Earl of Elgin, and the present Earl
of Malmesbury.

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday last, as Mr.
Broad, mason, of Winford, near Bristol, was walking over
the Somersetshire estates of Colonel Blagrave, of Calcot Park,
near Reading, with Mr. Westbury, land-agent, of Andover,
the colonel's steward, and whilst in the act of looking at the
map of the estate, and pointing to a distant object, he was
suddenly observed to reel, and in an instant fell to the ground
and expired, without uttering an exclamation. Mr. Broad
was about sixty-seven years of age, and apparently in full
health.—Devizes Gazette.

FRACAS IN COURT.—While an appeal case was in progress
of trial on Thursday, in the West-Riding Sessions Court,
at Wakefield, in which Sir G. Lewin appeared as counsel, a
point of law, raised by Sir Gregory, was overuled by the
Chairman. Notwithstanding this Sir Gregory persisted in
proceeding with his argument ; this, being in defiance of the
Chairman's orders, eventually prcduced a rupture between
the learned Knight and the Bench. Sir Gregory was peremp-
torily ordered to sit down. This he flatly refused to do, and
the Chairman, J. B. Greenwood, Esq., in great excitement
vacated the chair, but immediately returned and called upon
Sir Gregory again to take his seat. Again meeting with a
denial, the Chairman ordered Mr. Senior, the crier of the
Court, to "do his duty," when Sir Gregory, finding affairs
assuming a serious aspect, obeyed the order of the Bench and
sat down.—Leeds Intellegencer.

SINGULAR SCENE.— On Sunday afternoon week, a scene
of rather a singular, and, for a time, unaccountable nature
occurred at Harwood Church, near Bolton, during divine
service. Shortly after the clergyman had entered upon his
sermon, the apparitor fell down in the aisle, and had to be
carried out of the church for air. No sooner had this taken
place, than the clerk was seized in a similar manner, and so
on until about a dozen were taken out. The minister said
that these interruptions prevented him from proceeding to
the length he could have wished, and closed his sermon very
abruptly ; and a collection was made, according to announce•
ment, for the singers, and the congregation separated, but
not until about seventeen others bad been more or less affec-
ted. An inquiry as to the cause of so strange an occurrence
was made, and it was found that the valve had been closed,
by mistake, by which the hot air from the flues was confined
to the church, and the atmosphere rendered impure and in-
tolerable.—Blackburn Standard.
HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF PRUSSIA.—We learn from
a source on which unquestionable reliancecan he placed,

that the arrival of his I\7lajesty the King of Prtissia may not
be expected before the 20th instant, and as that potentate is
the especial guest of her Majesty, Buckingham Palace and
Windsor Castle will be the abodes of that Sovereign during
his Majesty's visit in this country. On his Majesty landing
at Woolwich he will be escorted by a troop of the royal horse
guards to Buckingham Palace, where apartments are already
ordered for the reception of his Majesty and suite. His Ex-
cellency Chevalier Bunsen has, in consequence of his royal
master's visit, taken the elegant mansion of Lord Stuart de
Rothesay on Carlton House-terrace, the acme which Cuunt
Stroganoff, the ambassador extraordinary from Russia, en-
gaged during the coronation of her Majesty in 1838. His
excellency intends giving a series of sumptuous entertain-
ments in honour of the King of Prussia's visit.--Herald

THE NIGER EXPEDITION.—We have been favoured with
the sight of a letter which gives further accounts of the Niger
expedition. Thus we learn " that the Albert alone remains
in the river : that she has but twelve white men remaining,
besides Captain Trotter, the surgeon, Dr. MeWilliam, and
three or four other officers." Two of the twelve men spoken
of by the writer were taken ill before his letter was closed,
and an early departure from the coast was anxiously looked
for. In confirmation of the faas contained in the letter be-
fore us, another correspondent writes that—" intelligence
has been received that the Niger expedition has become dis-
spirited, and that the whole of the steamers would rendezvous
at Ascension on the Ist of January. The Wilberforce, which
steamer was intended to remain in the Niger until the next
season, had already arrived at Ascension. The expedition
was reported to have left colonies up the river ; but what will
be their fate without any establishment to communicate with
outside, it is, perhaps, not difficult to foretell."—Shipping

The Bombay papers contain a statistical account of the
quantities of tea exported to Great Britain from China since
the opening of the trade in 1834 to the present time, and
also of the quantities of tea exported to the United States
from China from the Ist of July, 1833, to June, 1811. The
tea exported to Great Britain from the 31st of March, 1834,
to the 30th of September of the same year, amounted to
3,388,2631 b.; in the season 1834-35, it had increased to
47,690,9281 b. ; in the season 1835-36, it declined to
45,860,1931 b. ; in the season 1836-37, it further declined to
37,828,7941 b. ; in the season 1837-38, it increased to
42,545,9511 b. ; in the season 1838-39, it decreased again to

32,697,3701 b. ; in the season 1839-40, it further decreased to
29,116,1401 b. ; but in the season 1840-41, increased again to
30,280,2181 b. The quantity of tea exported to the United
States in 1833-34 was 18,854,4031 b. ; in 1i34-35, it was
14,122,9061 b. ; in 1835-36, 17,511,9121 b. ; in 1836.37,
16,581,4641 b. ; in 1837-38, 16,615.7291 b. ; in 1838-39,
15,184,0661 b.; in 1839-40, 19,333,597 lb. ; and in 1840-41,
9.079,4241 b. The great falling off observable in the last
three seasons, of course, is attributable to the restricted
state of trade consequent upon our conflicting relations with
China.

BENGAL.—There is a general complaint in the markets

here of a great scarcity of cash, and but little demands for
every description of goods. This has been the case for some
months. The godowns of the European and native mer.
chants are filled with goods of every description, but they
cannot find purchasers. Should this lull continue much
longer, the consequence will be, that the security of some
mercantile houses for some time on the wane will fail; and
if we credit the gups in the bazaar, the crisis is rapidly ap-
proaching. No demand for commodities already in the
markets, and the great losses sustained by the opium wen-
..

lators is the main cause of the lull. All eyes are, therefore,
directed as it were towards China, the termination of the
war, the payment of indemnification bonds for opium, and

th• opening of the trade upon a peaceable and secure footing.
If the opium bonds of Captain Elliot are not paid within
another year, it will be no difficult thing to calculate with
some degree of certainty the mercantile houses which, to use
a stock-market phrase, must go. The non-arrival of intel-
fence from China since the 24th of August continues to de-
press the minds of hundreds who have speculated to some
extent in opium, and who wait and watch with much anxiety
for China news.—Bengal Gazette.

ANOTHER DARING BURGLARY.—Between two and three
o'clock on Tuesday morning, the house of Mr. George Gum,
of the tithing of Seend, was broken into by three thieves, and
robbed of property amounting to between 30 and £4O, Mr.
Gum is advanced in years, and lives with his sister, in a lone

house a short distance from the turnpike road between De-
vizes and Melksham. The thieves first endeavoured to effect
an entrance at the back part of the house, by making a hole
in the wall, but here they were unsuccessful, and the noise
they made having disturbed Mr. Gum, he got up. They
then went round to the front door, which they burst open,
and entered the house, after an ineffectual resistance by Mr.
Gum. One of the thieves was armed with a gun, another
with an iron bar, and the third with a large stick. Mr. Gum
also had a gun in the house, which one of the thieves per-
ceiving, said, " if your gun is ready mine is"—and then pre-
tending to load it, continued—" now do what you like, for
we have plenty of assistance." Mr. Gum's gun was unfor-
tunately out of repair. They then told him, that if he did
not give them what he had, they would destroy both him and
his sister; and commenced ransacking the house. They
broke the locks of four different boxes, and took every thing
of value, among which were a number of old guineas, which
Mr. Gum had kept by him from his youth, some silver, and
nine silver spoons marked "G." Not content with this,
they then collared Mr. Gum, and asked him for his mon'-y
papers.—lle replied that he had nothing of the kind but two
bad £5 notes, which, they said, they did not want. They
still insisted that he had more money ; he assured them that
he had but 18d. in his pocket, and this they took; but upon
his saying that was all he had, they returned it to him. They
then left the house, after being there more than an hour.
Although the fellows said they had plenty of assistance, Mr.
Gum is assured that they were but three in number, as he
afterwards traced their steps across the fields towards Melk-
sham, when they very coolly turned round, and wished him
" Good morning !" The stick with which one of the fellows
was armed, was afterwards found near the house. The face
of each was blackened.—Bristo Journal.

THE POLITICAL STATE OF THE JEws.—The prophecies
relating to the Jews declare, as clearly as language can, that
they shall return toJudea, and be at last perinanen.ly re-estab-
lished in the land of their fathers. The uniform experience
of the literal truth of every prediction respecting their past
history may suffice to give assurance of the certainty of their
predicted restoration. Amidst many signs that the times of
the Gentiles are drawing toward their fulfilment, many con-
curring circumstances seem also to be preparing the way of
the children of Israel. Scattered as they have been for so
many ages through the world, and maintaining still their dis-
tinctive character, their whole history forbids the thought
that they will ever mingle among the nations, or cease to be,
what they have ever been, a peculiar people. But while their
history as a nation gave, for the space of many generations,
unequivocal attestations of an overruling IROVIDENCS, sus-
taining the theocracy of the commonwealth of Israel ; and
while, during a period of still greater duration, they have been
" a people scattered and peeled - " yet after the lapse of so
many ages, they are still reserved for illustrating the truth,
the mercy, and the glory of the God Of Israel. They now
begin, centuries of persecution and spoilation having passed
away, to participate in cases too numerous to be specified, of
benefits arising from the altered spirit of :he times, and pos-
sessed, as in an unexamped degree they are, of silver and
gold, and of large portions of the public funds of various
kingdoms, they may be said even now, in some measure, to
" inherit the riches of the Gentiles ; " commanding too, as
in a great measure they do, the rate of exchange throughout
Europe, they are entitled, from the present influence of money
on the security of Governments, and on the arts and results
of war, to high political consideration, and the time may not
thus be remote when they shall " be raised up as an ensign
among the nations." Not naturalised to the isles of the
Gentiles, either by law or affection, nor bound to any soil by
the possession of fixed property, which would be of no easy
transference ;_ but ever looking with undiminished love to the
land of their fathers (even after an expatriation uninterrupted
for nearly 18 centuries, (they are ready, whenever the time
shall be fulfilled, to fly " thither like a cloud, and like doves
to their windows." But to what a degree, and in what man-
ner the present convulsions of the Turkish empire, combined
with the peculiar, and in many instances novel condition of
the Jews throughout Europe and America, shall be the means
of facilitating their eventual restoration to Palestine (which
is ravaged by Arabs, and yeilds but a scanty revenue to the
Turks )no mortal can determine. It is enough for Christi-
ans to know that two thousand years (through nearly which
period it has been dormant ) can neither render extinct the
title, nor prescribe the heaven-chartered right of tile seed of
Abraham, to the final and permanent possession of the land
,f Canaan ; that God will remember the land, and gather
together unto it his antient people, and that his word concern-
ing Zion, which he hath neither forgotten nor forsaken is,
" I have graven thee upon the palms of mine bands ; thy
walls are continually before me. Thy children shall make
aaste ; thy destroyers arid they that made thee waste shall go
forth of thee," &c. "Can a woman forget her sucking child,
that she should not have compassion upon the son of her
womb ? Yea, they may forget ; yet will I not forget thee."
r. e. Zion.) Isaiah, xlix., 16, 17, 15, &c. And is it not a
iracle, which bath nothing parallel to it in the phenomena
of nature, that through all the changes which have happened
,n the kingdoms of the earth, from the days of Moses to the
present time (which is more then 3,200 years), nothing should
a happened to have prevented thepoasibility of the accarn-
:ielivshrnent of these prophecies ; but, on the contrary, that the
tate of the Jewish and Christian nations at this day should be
uch as renders them capable, not only of a figurative, but
)
zven of a literal, completion, be so

O'CONNELL'S HATRED OP ENGLAND.—This notorious
personage, at a repeal meeting last week, thus belched out
his revengeful feelings towards this country, "629 years had
elapsed since this country was polluted by the foot-mark of
a conquering Englishman—since English rapacity gnawed
away the vitals of our liberty. I despise you, England ; I
look with pity on your prostrate condition ; I compassionate
the melancholy disgrace of your present rosition. The
English have put in a tory government ; they have done
away with a holy, sanctified institution, which I may say re-
sembles the attributes of the Deity—the administration of
justice."

RHINOCEROS FIGHT.—On one of the days we remained,
a Mahratta princess staying here sent two rhinoceroses to
fight before Sir Henry, who (the rhinoceroses) after punch-
ing each other on the head for some time, at last got angry
one with the other. The blows got harder and harder, until
at last one of the parties, thinking he had had enough, turned
tail and ran at the top of his speed through a thick hedge
into Mrs. F.'s flower-garden ; where again, gaining courage,
he faced his opponent, who had followed him. The punching
again commenced, and by the time the two brutes could be
separated, the place of the garden, or the colour of the
flowers, were both most difficult to discover.—Captain Feint's
Five fear: in India.

USES OF A SCARLET CLOAK.—At the memorable time
when the French ships appeared outside Bantry Bay, there
was, of course, a great alarm caused by their approach. The
country people struck out a plan to intimidate the enemy,
and an effective one it proved. The costume of the women
in those parts comprises, as an indispensable essential, a
scarlet cloak ;—and the proposition was, to assemble all the
damsels that could be collected together, and marshal them
on the heights around the bay. It was done, and the French
soldiers beheld with dismay this formidable array of scarlet,
the wearers whereof (how much we sometimes gain by being
seen at a distance !) appeared to them " good men and true."
What this supposed body of soldiery may have done towards
scaring away the foe I know not ; but I am always glad to
circulate any story in favour of a scarlet cloak, one of the
most picturesque adjuncts to a landscape, either in nature or
on canvass.—Letters from the Coast of Clare.
PUBLIC CREDIT IN AMERICA.-111C COUrrier Francais,
observing on the speech of the President of the United
States, says—" Washington would have died of grief and
shame if in his time he had seen private individuals, banks,
and even states, committing acts of bankruptcy towards their
European creditors. But President Tyler looks on at such
proceedings with extraordinary indifference, which might be
mistaken for a want of moral feeling. If one of the states,'
said he, did not honour their engagements, that circum-
stance would not in the least injure the credit of the other
states.' We are of a diametrically contrary opinion, for we
consider that in a country where certain local authorities do
not consider themselves bound to pay the debts contracted
by the state, this example cannot fail to find imitators."
LONDON Dome COMPANY.—On Tuesday the half-yearly
general meeting of this company was held at the Dock-house,
Prince's-street, Bank. The report stated that the number
of loaded ships that had entered the docks from foreign parts
in the six months ending on the 30th of November last was
602, of the aggregate burden of 131,893 tons. In the corre-
sponding period of 1840, there had entered the docks 581
ships, of the tonnage of 124,627 tonnage, showing an increase
in the last half-year of 7.266 tons. The amount of the earn-
ings of the docks in the half-year ending in Novembea last
was £168,878 15s. 6d., or £lll lls. ld. more than had been
received in the corresponding period of 1840. The income
of the company in the last six months had exceeded the ex-
penditure by £81,589 17s. 10d. The directors, in conse-
quence of the prosperous state of the affairs of the company,
recommended that the half-yearly dividend upon the stock
should be raised to £1 15s. per cent. After paying of inte-
rest, and providing for the liquidation of the debt incurred
for new works, there would remain a very large surplus to
the credit of the company. The report was adopted, as well
as the proposal for the augmented dividend.
NEW BARRACKS.—POPISII RAPACITY.—The neigh-
bourhood of Brindle Lodge having been mentioned as one
of the sites which the Board of Ordnance intended to select
from, for the erection of the new barracks for the northern
district, Mr. and Mrs. Eastwood, the proprietors of the
lodge, have memorialised the secretary of state on the sub-
ject, alleging that having a reversionary interest in the above
mansion, it would be materially injured by barracks being
erected in that immediate neighbourhood. They also state
that " owing to the defective mate of the laws in this coun-
try, which provide no security against the rapacity of catho-
lic priests, who carry off the property of their penitents, to
the great injury of families, your memorialists have been re-
duced to the necessity of advertising the above mansion and
lands for a tenant, having no power to dispose of them
otherwise," the very small " property left to your memori-
alists and their numerous family of nine children, which
has escaped from the bands of the confessor of their late
uncle, would be reduced in value were barracks to be erected
near Brindle Lodge."—Preston Pilot.—[ln our columns of
to-clay will be found a letter from Mr. Eastwood, exposing
the avarice of popish priests, the perusal of which will
serve to throw light on the above paragraph.]—Ed. L. S.
Amidst all his violence of temper, coarseness of taste, and
boisterous spirits, Frederick William inculcated maxims of
piety on the minds of his children, though not in a way to
win the heart of a youth so evidently sensitive as Frederick
the Great. The old King had a strong sense of religion, al-
though he expressed it at times with a vehemence truly
comic. We must make room for one characteristic anec-
dote. Being too unwell one evening to read the usual family
prayers himself, his daily practice, he desired his valet de
chambre to read them to him. His attendant thinking it
disrespectful to thou a King, on coming to the words " The
Lord bless thee," changed the expression into " The Lord
bless you." " It is not so, read it again," cried the exas-
perated King, at the same time throwing something at the
reader's head. The poor fellow could not imagine what
blunder he bad made, and again read" The Lord bless you."
The King was furious, and having nothing else conveni-
ently at hand he pulled off his night-cap and flung it iu the
attendant's face, crying out, " It is not so I tell you, read it
again." The frightened valet again gasped forth in scarcely
audible accents, " The Lord bless you." " Bless thee,
rogue," at last roared the monarch, losing all patience and
self-control, " bless thee. Don't you know, fellow, that in
the sight of God I am only a miserable rascal like yourself?"
—Campbell's Frederick the Great.
FIDELITY or A Doc.—A fortnight ago we announced the
melancholy and fatal death by drowning, of a passenger on
board the Helen Macgregor steam-boat, while lying at Oban,
on her passage from Glasgow. No one on board knew him,
nor did any of the villagers ; but his funeral rites were per-
formed by a Christian people, and the cause of misfortune
aroused their sympathies. They spread the most cloth over
the bier; but the tassels hung loosely—unclaimed—and told
he was far from his kinsmen. No fond relative was there to
mourn the loss of a friend—no aged parent to regret his un-
timely fate—no orphan boy to weep for the loss of a father ;
but he went not to the grave unmourned ; in addition to the
general sympathy, he was followed by an unfeigned mourner
—the companion of his toils—his faithful shepherd clog, who,
though unaccountably absent at the fatal moment, has given
evident signs of extreme attachment to his master. He
howled piteously as they bore him away, and on lowering
him into the grave, he could scarcely be restrained from being
buried along with him. As the funeral partly moved slowly
away, the faithful animal remained alone—the mourning
image of fidelity and attachment. Nor has the cold blasts
of gloomy December forced him from his post; there he
still remains; and his fidelity has enlisted the commisera-
tion of the villagers, who give him the necessary food ; and
though the common green mound alone marks the grave of
the deceased, this faithful animal has supplied him with
mourners, and a monumental effigy more interesting than
the most grave or pompous eulogium.—lnverness Courier.

A SINGULAR JURY.—Rather an unusual circumstance

occurred at the Hertfordshire Quarter Sessions on Monday
last. A man named Thomas Godfrey was charged with
stealing a quantity of wheat, the property of his mistress, a
widow, and convicted on the clearest evidence. The deputy
clerk of the peace had, however, scarcely recorded the verdict
when Mr. Pryor, the counsel for the prisoner, rose to move
an arrest of judgment, on the ground that an improper af-
firmation had been administered to one of the jurors, a
Quaker, or rather that this juror had made no affirmation at
all. The affirmation repeated to him by the clerk began with,
" You being one of the people called Quakers do solemnly
affirm," and ended with "So help you, God." In addition
to this singular informality, the clerk of the peace had neg-
lected to require the Quaker juror to repeat the words of the
affirmation after him. The Court, after a short consultation,
admitted the objection of the learned counsel, and ordered
the prisoner to be discharged. Shortly after this occurrence
the jury returned a verdict (in the case of a young girl charged
with shoplifting) of " Guilty of stealing, but without a felo-
nious intention." Mr. Wordsworth, counsel for the pri-
soner, submitted that such a verdict was a verdict of acquittal.
The Court also admitted the objection, and ordered the pri-
soner to be discharged.

SPIOCKING Occurtauarci.—On Friday night last a woman
named Mary Digney, the wife of a small farmer residing at
Drumlough, near Rathfriland, while labouring under a fit of
insanity, took advantage of her husband's absence to attempt
the destruction of her own life, and the lives also of her two
children. Having, it appears, previously provided herself
with a quantity of arsenic, she administered some of it to
the younger child, aged about seven years, at the same time
swallowing herself a large portion of the same deadly drug.
The elder child, aged ten years, obstinately refused the prof-
fered draught ; upon which she was laid hold of by her
wretched parent, and violently strangled. Shortly afterwards
the husband arrived, and was, by his wife, informed of all
her proceedings. He instantly alarmed his neighbours, and
sent for a doctor. In the mean time, the dose having, it is
probable, been larger than ordinary, both the mother and the
child, who had taken the arsenic, discharged the contents of
their stomachs, and was thereby preserved. The other child
was discovered entirely bereft of life. On the day following
an inquest was held upon the body, and a verdict of " wilful
murder" recorded. The unhappy woman has been commit-
ted to the county gaol. Her insanity—of which, in our opi-
nion, there cannot exist a doubt—is said to have originated
in the followirw, circumstance, as stated by a correspondent :
—" Some time back the poor woman (Mary Digney,) who
was a strict member of the Romish church, being engaged in
sacred communion accordini- to its practice, happened to
close her teeth upon the consecrated wafer. For this she was
strongly reprimanded by the priest, and told that, as she had
' divided her God,' sbe need not entertain any hope of salva-
tion ! The awful denunciation so prayed upon her mind as
to lead to disordertnent of intellect; and hence the frightful
tragedy which we have now to deplore.”—Newry Telegraph.
TRICKS OF THE LEAGUERS, AND WELL-MERITED RE-
BUFF.—The Anti-Corn Law Leaguers, reduced to their
last shifts, are now having recourse to the petticoats. A
batch of these petticoat politicians have been perambulating
Huddersfield, calling from house to house, cajoling silly
women with promises 'of cheap bread to sign a petition
against the corn-laws. A pair of those female worthies
called a few dars since at the residence of Mrs. L., an elderly
lady, in South Parade, and being admitted to the parlour,
stated their object to he to obtain signatures of females to a
petition to the Queen for a total repeal of the corn-laws.
The lady, in reply, stated, that she had in her former resi-
dence in Huddersfield, paid thousands of pounds for corn,
that she never recollected corn being much if at all cheaper
than it is now, that it is cheaper now than before the intro-
duction of the corn-laws, and therefore she would sign
nothing for their repeal, at the same time remarking with
some severity on the impropriety of women's intermeddling
with politics, which are exclusively in the men's department,
and that they would do far better and be more useful in their
proper sphere, by minding their own domestic affairs and
leaving petitions and politics to the men. At this unlooked-
for reproof, the lady petitioners were covered with confusion,
but recovering themselves, actually had the effrontery to ask
Mr. L. to allow them to go below to her kitchen, that her
female servants might have the opportunity of signing it.
Mrs. L. however, indignantly refused them, saying her
servants were in all probability more ignorant of the subject
than herself; they then retired much crest fallen, and pro-
ceeded to the house of Mrs. T., in the same street, here
they met with no better reception, but they were told that
had better stay at home, look after their families, and
mind their own affairs, and they might be gone as soon as
ttl'yheey pleased, and not give themselves the trouble to open the
petition in her house, as she would not have anything to do
with it. The prospects of the League must be miserable in-

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAv

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

The receipts of Irish Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal into this

port since Tuesday last are smaller than usual; and, except
a moderate supply of Wheat, with a fair quantity of Barley
and Malt, the arrivals coastwise are trivial ; whilst of foreign
Wheat and Beans we have to note a tolerable import, with
9,827 barrels of Flour from New York.

At this day's market, upon a better attendance of local and
country buyers than of late, a moderate extent of business was
transacted in the general runs of foreign Wheat, in most in-
stances at a decline of Id. to 2d. per 701bs. from our last

quotations ; a similar statement was also conceded with regard
to English and Irish, of which very few sales were made;
fine red Lower Baltic Wheat, however, forming an exception,
retained the rates of this day se'nnight.
In Wheat or Flour under bond, no further purchases were
reported to-day. although the latter wrs offered at a decline

of is per barrel.

a very limited inquiry, must be; considered nominally rather
