Court Bacnaxurt 25.—Since Wednesday, there
bare been but few fresh arrivals. Fine Wheat sells at
rather higher prices. Barley, for malting, fully main-
t4sta our last quotations ; and Beans remain unaltered
In prier. Boiling Peas have again fallen. tirey Peas
sell iteavily.—Oars are dull sale, and Is. per quarter
cheaper. Importations this week.—English Wheat,

S 51.1 NrtZLD Ai A RIM', OCT. Ys.—The supply of
()set., this morning, was plater than on former Fri-
days. Of Sheep had Lambs the numbers were as usual ;
aed the sale for oxen was very heavy. It is expected
that a great number will remain unsold.

FIRE THIS MORNINO.—This morning, between 5 and
6 n'elock, a fire broke out in the upper part of the house
of Mr. Hedges, wholesale woollen-draper, No 49, Alder-
msobury. It is supposed to have originated in a cop-
per fine; the servants having, during the night, been
employed in brewing. The prompt arrival of engines
and a good supply of water, enabled the fireman speedily
to extinguish the darnel, the interior of the house only
having been deranged.

WISE MIN OL?

The wisdom of the City of London and its Corporation,
espeCially, has so long been proverbial, that oti one co
he surprised if the story should be actually tree, which
we hive just seen in the last Monday's Observer, nans&',
ly, that it has been, if not yet is, in agitation to lake
some step with regard to the picture of her lite Majesty.
with a view, as it is preposterously said, of rendering a
visit to the City Council Chamber not unpleosant to the
feelings of Oar Great and Gracious Monarch. It is this
that we resent ; an attempt on the part of any one to
cause it to be believed that the great and mighty mind
of his Mary coubl possibly be ruffki io the Amalie's
degree by beholding the picture in question. Sten there;
have been,iadeed, to shake, as it were with an ague, at the
sigbt and even of tbe though tofali sing wife ; bet to think
that his AIAJZSTV would tremble at the sight of a petti-
coat in painting, is, indeed, to promulgate& libel on
this Sovenetcsr ; a libel touch greater than ashy of those
for which so many men have been punished of late
years. and beyond all comparison greater than that,
whith, ther slay, the famous ficaabarr failed to
a jefas
make . r inoffanaire to a Jury.—tint, the worst
part Of ihe story that we have read is this, that a thoughts
has come into the beads of some of the 4. wide men arts
44 (+othatn", that they might seeder the picture of Or
MAJESTT less obnoxious to the Royal eye, by, taking a
brush and scrubbing out the LETTER which her Me.;
JESTT is represented as bolding in her hand; Am letter;
' thatinamortaidocument,b) which we understsAber Ma;
JESTT said she wished to be made known to EktstrrilYsl
Now, hew should his MAJWITT knew ....7 Arg4lollllo,

. -
her &Wears is drawn with the Letter to the Milo in
bedlam, ? We would pledge our souls that he neveraew
the-picture ; and who should dare to carry him the gee-,
siping story ? lint we remember another person, who cer-
tainly had seen the picture: who had seen 'be representa-
tion of the letter in tlieliand ; and who had uttered in the
House of Commons, trhatgood manners prevents ns from
calling a very stupid philippic against that Letter: and the
person we a'lnde to is no other than Mr. Alderman
thiensve, LOUD Marron elect !—Surely the Letter is
not going to be rubbed out of the Picture, in order to
please, in order to gratify another person ; and that,
too, under the pretence that it would gratify the feelings
of the KING. We should not be much astonished, how-
ever, if the attempt were to be made; and we should not
absolutely distrust our senses if tee were to hear that the
thing were done. The persons however who seem to have no
other desire at heart hut that of keeping the Letter out
of siciit, may, we dare say, have the full bppprobation
of all the Livery if they hill consent to keep the !Ater
out of sight by hanging a thumping green bag op before
it.—We have not the smallest doubt, that if Mr.
Ileygate was to request it, there might be here aryl
there a green bag upon a pole as descriptive of the
thoughts of the people upon the festive occasion that is
approaching. To get down the picture seems impossi-
ble; to blot. it over appears not to he very likety to
succeed ; and we would advise those who have made the
most fuss about the matter to shut up their mouths upon
the subject as soon Al pO%Sillle. •.

it scold creel that Sir !torture litmus has been ex-

what business Sir ltonswr Wtt..som has to Le at all iss-
termedilling with the affairs of the French Uovernment.
If, indeed, there was the smallest probability of his ren-
dering any service to the cause of liberty in France,
there would he an apology for this everlasting turmoil
shout him and the French police. We thick, on the
contrary, that all his meddling is calculated to ylo great
mischief to the cause of liberty in ?ranee, whicC roust
be injured by the senseless babble that is now carried on
between the gossippers of the two countries. If a
Frenchman were to coins and interfere in our affairm
