ing the usual scarcity Of tonnage.
The prospect of trade are improving. The
passing ofthe Corn Bill by the Lords, with so
large majority, has given almost universal
satisfaction in the city, and great expansion
OF business is expected TO follow upon the final
| passing of this measure. As yet, however, we
have little variation to notice in prices, as there
has been only limited demand for goods for
| home consumption by private treaty; the arti-
Giles submitted to public competition were only
in part sold, and the export orders have rot
been of much moment. For Grain the mar
kct has dull appearance, and prices are still
on the decline; the accounts come to hand
from all parts of the country being highly ia
voraoe for the crops.
EUROPEAN TRADE.-LoNDoN. No improve
ment has taken place in the Grain trade here,
notwithstanding the large majority by which
the second reading of the Corn Bill has been
carried in the House of Lords. On Monday
last the LIST inst, there was a very dull demand
for home grown wheat, and the rates Of last
week obtained with much diAiculty-scarcely
any thing was done in foreign wheat Cert-
icates were enquired for at los to los Cd per
quarter. Flour was almost unsaleable, though
freely offered at the recent reduction, the de-
tive, and prices although not altered from those
offered the LIST inst, could hardly be maintain
ed, few parcels Of wheat in bond were taken
on certificates at los Cd, per or. Flour was
very dull at late rates.
Liverpool fine and good useful wheats upon
limited demand, receded further in value on
the I'd inst, making the decline 3D. to Sd. per
10 lbs. from the rates of that day Feed and
all inferior parcels were very unsaleable on still
lower terms-choice lots of fresh Irish flour
were in moderate request at last quotations,
whilst other descriptions fell, as Canadian must
be noticed rather cheaper. Indian Corn, al
though few further parcels were taken to-day
for shipment to Ireland, must be noted as per
or. below the rates of this day sennight.
Ofbonded wheat no sales have been reported
to-day, but of Western Canal flour or par
GELS have been disposed Of at 22s Cd per Dbl. to
arrive, and SIS for sc bbls are required in
store. Phla. under lock is offered at eos Cd to
2ls-aggregate price Of grain.

that the Cholera appears to be advancing with
rapid strides towards this city, from whence,
no doubt, it will, in time, find its way to Wes-
tern Europe.

of the commencement of actual hostilities between
