MARICETS.

Coax Excuarros, AuovEr 12.—in consequence of
the immense supplies of Wheat on hand, and those
brought fresh this morning from Kent and Essex,
though chiefly consisting of very fine quality, the de-
mand was so very slack, that new may be quoted 10e.
and old from 3s. to bs. per quarter lower, without
much sold at those abatements. Barley supports last
week's prices, there is but little of bee quality at mar-
ket. The Oat trade Will exceediogly heavy, at a de-
cline of Is. per quarter, sod Beans may be quoted fall
Is per qr. cheaper ler want of a demand adequate to
the supply. White Peas are 2s. per qr. lower. lit other
articles there is little or no alteration.

SMITHF!ELD MAHIEZT, Auo. Kt.—This mnrning's
market was the fullest for this month past and partly's-
lady in oxen. The price of which was 2:1,49 pound the
head lower 'hen on last Monday's market. Sheep aid
l.atnh were also numerous, and lower in price.
(EXCLUISITZLY FOR THC STATIMIAN.)

Upwards of 12,000 Sheep and Lambs at Market on
Friday ; the trade very heave ; prices lower ; a couider-
able number of Sheep and Lambs remain unsold. We-
there weighing 9 striae 23•. ; Good Lamb, 5 stone Lis.
liref trade very heavy and lower ; lOU atone of Good
Beef io the Morning was worth 16/. Mc. bat towards
the close of the day, the same could be bought for 151.
10s.—At Neweate Market on Saturday, Wether Mutton,
2s. 2d.; Best Lamb, 3s.

A man of the name of Robert Smith, forme►ly of
this tewn, a kind of public intwmer, was indicted at
the late York Assizes, fur blasphemy; and it is a little
remarkable. that the Solicitor for the Board of Ilizcise
was employed to defend him. The cause, we believe,
weal i.ff from an inf••rmality in the proceeding., or
from some flaw in the indictment. —(berde Mercy, )
WKATI:BR.—Thr Weather this week, on the while,
has been very favourable for the harvest. The quantity
of rain Mien here since Saturday last is not measurable.
