GINGER, the almost spontaneous growth of a sunny climes offers, in his own land, its invigorating aid, to recruit the ex- hausted energies of the enervated Indian and in other quarters of the globe, nature kindly provides the luscious and grateful orange as the needful renovator. After the most acute medical research, professors are com- pelled to admit, that nature heiself presents the most delightful and efficient remedies, in the temperate use of the SevilieOrange and Jamaica Ginger. By the means of commerce we are enabled to obtain these good things and by a skiltul and judicious operation, we are enabled to offer to the world a combination of these excellent remedial qualities, eminently useful in spasm, flatulence, and sensations of CO\I. And, indeed, for whatever purpose stimulants are required, there are none more wholesome -none more pure—none more efficacious, than Vickers's Ginger Brandy.

Sir,-A child of mine was very ill in the Hooping Cough; when the fils of coughing came on she was frequently black in the face. My medical man made use of the ordinary remedies without much apparent effect, telling me it must^take its course; but having seen the advertisement ot Roper's Royal Bath Plaster, I rpplied to you for oue, when, to my great joy. the fits became less violent, and at much longer intervals, until, in less than a week's time, she was as well as ever she was in her life.

The following letter has recently been received by the proprie- tor, from a distinguished M.D.:— Upper Harley-street. Cavendish Square. Mr. Stuart has just exhausted a bottle of Dear's Black Ink, which suits him and he wishes Mr. Dear to send him word wheie, in this neighbourhood, he may be sure to obtain it.

GENERATIVE INCAPACITY, AND IMPEDIMENTS TO MARRIAGE, THE SILENT FRIEND, A New Edition, enlarged to 196 pages, price 2s. 6d., In order to ensure secresy, and punctuality in delivery, the work will be sent direct from the Establishment, free to any part of the kingdom, in a sealed envelope, on the receipt of 3s. 6d. in postage stamps. rpHE Silent Friend is a Medical Work written in language, 1 devoid of professional technicalities, on the Physical Dis- qualifications affecting the generative system in both sexes It contains an elaborate and carefully-written account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Organs in Man which are directly and indirectly concerned in the function of generation, (illustrated by coloured engravings,) and the Causes and Con- sequences resulting from the baneful practice by which the Vigour and Manliness of Life are enervated and destroyed, even before nature has fnllv established the powers and stamina of the constitution. Local and General Debility, Nervous Irrita- bility and Excitement, Consumption, Indigestion of the most Fearful and Exhausting Kind, Intense Melancholy and Depres- sion of the Spirits, and Partial or Complete Extinction of the Reproductive Powers, &c.. are thus produced. In the Silent Friend, the chapter devoted to the consideration of these dread- ful complaints contains also an account of the Means by which they may be Prevented and Removed, so as to restore the suf- ferer to the full enjoyment of Health and the Functions of Manhood.. The consequences resulting from veneral contamination are next pointed out, and the nature and character of Gonorrhoea, Gleet, Stricture, and Secondary Symptoms of every kind are clearly explained, with directions for cure. Their dangerous effects on the human economy are safficiently dilated on, and a Means is also indicated by which the Recurrence of these Diseases may in every instance be Completely Prevented. The work terminates with a chapter on the Obligations of Marriage, the physical impediments which tend to disqualify the candidate for that holy state, and the directions necessary for their removal. The work is illustrated by the detail of cases, and by twenty- six coloured engravings on steel, thus rendering it what its name purports it to he, the true but silent friend to all suffering from the consequences of early error and vice,-a work which may be consulted without exposure, and with every assurance of com- plete sucpess and benefit.

Part the First Of this work is dedicated to the consideration of the Anatomy and Physiology of the generative functions. It embraces a succinct account of all the organs in man which are engaged in the important function of the reproduction of the species, and the mode in which self-abuse operates to the injury of the human frame, and the destruction of the special and vital powers. This is illustrated by six coloured engravings. Part the Second Treats of the infirmities and decay of the system produced by over indulgence of the passions. The existence of nervous and sexual debility and incapacity, with their accompanying train of symptoms and disorders, are treated by the chain ol connecting results to this cause. This section is illustrated by three coloured engravings, which fully display the effents of physical decay. ° Part the Third Contains an accurate description of the diseases caused by in- fection, and by the abuse of mercury primary and secondary symptions, erruptions of the skin, sore thioat, inflamation of the eyes, disease of the bones, gonorrhoea, gleet, stricture, &c., are shown to depend on this cause. Advice for the treatment of all these diseases and their consequences is tendered in this section, which, if duly followed up, cannot fail in effecting a cure. The part is illustrated by seventeen coloured engravings. Part the Fourth. The preceding part having been devoted to the consideration of the maladies resulting from contamination and its conse- quences, next follows an account of the means by which such dreadful maladies may be prevented. This may be effected by the use of a lotion, which is strongly recommended as the only agent by which such an effect can be produced. Its action is immediate and certain, by reason of its chemical influence. Part the Fifth Treats of Marriage, its obligations and disqualiifcations. The causes which lead to happiness in the marriage state are dwelt upon, and those which are indicative of misery and domestic inquietude. The nature, origin, and treatment of physical dis- qualifications are also described, and remedies for this state form an important consideration is this section of the work. The diffidence and distrust which are among the natural con- sequences of these affections, frequently prevents persons from applying for assistance until great, although not perhaps irie- mediable mischief has been inflicted on the constitution and powers of life. It is to be hoped that the perusal of this work will teach ruch persons the injurious consequences of delay, and lead them at once to seek that advice and counsel by which alone they could be saved from the horrors of an existence pro- tracted amidst long enduring wretchedness, both of mind and body. THE CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM Is rxpressly employed to renovate the impaired powers of life, when exhausted by the influence exetted by solitary indulgence on the system. Its action is purely balsamic its power in reinvigor-iting the frame in all cases of nervous and sexual debility, obstinate gleets, impotency, barrenness, and debilities arising from venereal excesses, Ins been demonstrated by its unvarying success in thousands of cases. To those persons who are prevented entering the married state by the consequences of early error-, it is invaluable. Price, lis. per bottle, or four nuantit es in one, for 33s. THE CONCENTRATED DETERSIVE ESSENCE, An anti-syphiltis temedy, for purifying the system from venereal contamination, and is recommended for any of the varied forms of secondary symptoms, such as eiuptions on the skin, blotches an the bead and face, enlargement of the thioat, tonsils, and uvula; threatened destruction of the nose, palate, &c. its action is purely detersive, and its beneficial influence on the sys em is undeniable Price lis. and 33s. per bottle. The £ 5. cases of Syiiacum i r Concentrated Detersive Essence, can only be had at 19, Berners-street, Oxford-street, London wheieby there is a saving of J01. 12s., and the patient is entitled to receive advice without a fee, which advantage is applicable only to those who remit I.I. for a packet PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, Price 2s. 9d., 4s. tld" and I Is. per box. These Pills, each box of which is accompanied with explicit directions, are well known throughout Eutope to be the most certain and effectual remedy ever discovered for gonorrhoea, both in its mild and aggravated forms. They immediately allay the inflamation by their specific influence on the urethra, and arrest the future progress of the disease. PERRY'S PREVENTATIVE LOTION, Price 33s., or in f5. cases. The deplorable consequences and the many horrible diseases which result from gonorrhoea, syphillis, &c., have no doubt a very great influence on men, and drive them to the commission of offences which are contrary to law, morals, and the well-being of society. A certain preventative has Ions been a desideratum, and this the Messrs. Perry are now enabled to oüttr in their Lotion used in accordance with the printed directions, it affords a safeguard against the approach of disease.

RL^HE following important testimony to the efficacy of Pairs JL Life Pills, has just been received by the Proprietors. To Messrs. T. Roberts and Co., London. Athlone, Dec. 7th, 1846. Sir,—You will please to sepd me Six Dozen more Pair's Life Pills; I am just out. They are taking well, and I can assure you they are doing an immensity of good; every one who has them in affections of the liver and the stomach derives a great deal of benefit. Yours, &c. WILLIAM GILCHRIST, Apothecary and Surgeon. No medicine yet offered to the world ever so rapidly attained such distinguished celebrity it is questionable if there be now any part of the civilized globe where its extraordinary virtues have not been exhibited. This signal success is not attributable to any system of advertising, but solely to the strong recom. mendations of parties cuied by tlieir use. The Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills have now in their possession upwards of TWELVE HUNDRED LETTERS, several of them from Clergymen of the Church of England, many from distinguished Dissenting Ministers, from gentlemen connected with the army and navy, also from Members of Parliament, Merchants, and last, though not least, from Members of the Medical Profession, and a skilful Analytical Chemist: all speaking in the highest terms of the value of this inestimable medicine. This is a mass of evidence in its favour beyond all parallel. The extraordinary properties of this medicine are thus de- scribed by an excellent physician, who says-" Alter particular observation of the action of Pan's Life Pills, I am determined in my opinion, that the following are their true properties Firstly—They increase the strength, whilst most other medi- cines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twenty-four hours, and, in- stead of having weakened, they will be found to have revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting strength to the body. "Secondly—In their operation they go direct to the disease. After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience their effect; the disease upon you will become less tad less by every dose you take, and if you will persevere iu regularly taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will be entirely removed from the system. f Thirdly—They are found, oaftn giving them a fair trial for a few weeks, to possess the i»«Sf SSfrnrsTiin^nd invigorating pro- perties, and they will overcome all obstinate complaints, and lestore sound health •. there is a return of good appetite shortly from the beginning of their use, whilst their mildness as a pur- gative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknowledged to be injurious instead 01 beneficial. "Fourthly—As a general Family Medicioe they are exceed- ingly valuable, and no family should be without them, for they may be used with perfect safety in any disease, for to eveiy dis- ease they are of inestimable value. John Dale, Esq., of Man- chester, Lecturer on Chemistry, and pupil of the celebrated Dr. Dalton, F. R.S., in a letter addressed to the Proprietor, in London, says—' I beg to state I find them worthy of being recommended to the public for their efficacy and simplicity, and to be really vegetable pills, containing, as they do, nothing hut what is of vegetable oi IgIn.' With this assurance the publio need have no fear of giving them a fair trial. c, Fifthly—there is no medicine ever introduced to the public that has become so universally popular with females as Parr's Life Pills. For all complaints peculiar to females, they are of n, the most astonishing etHcacy and they are confidently recom- mended to them for their general use. A trial of a box of these pills will at once prove the truth of this assertion." Beware of spurious imitations of the above medicine.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS. A very wonderful Cure of a disnrdered Liver and Stomach. Extract of a Letter from Mr.Charles Wilson, 30, Princess-streef, Glasgow, dated the 18th of February, 1847, SIt( ,r To Professor Holloway. IK,—Having taken your Pills to remove a disease of the Stomach and Liver, under which I had long suffered, and having followed vour printed instructions, I have regained that health which I had thought lost for ever. I had previously had recourse to several medical men, who are celebrated for their skill, but instead of curing my complaint, it in- creased to a most alarming degree. Humanly speaking, your Pills saved my life Many tried to dissuade me from using them, and I doubt not but that hundreds are deterred from taking your most excellent medicine, in consequence of the impositions practised by many worthless wretches; but, what a pity it is that the deception used by others, should te the means of preventing many unhappy persons under disease from regain- ing healtfe, by the use of your Pilis. When I commenced the use of your Pills, I was in a most wretched condition, and to my great delight, in a few days afterwards, there was a considerable change for the better, and by continuing to use them for some weeks, I have been perfectly restored to health, to the surprise of all who have witnessed the state to which I have been reduced by the disordered state of the liver and stomach. Would to God that every poor sufferer would avail himself of the same astonishing remedy.

Extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Calvert, Chemist, Stokesly, dated the 29th of January, 1847. To Professor Holloway. SIR,—Mr. Thompson, national school-master of this town, desires me to send you the particulars respecting a son of his, who had been seriously ill for three years and a half, and who has derived the greatest benefit from the use of your medicines, after trying all ordinary resources without effect. The boy is eight years of age, of strumous or scrofulous constitution. He seems to have had apleuris5' er)ded in a large collection of matter in the chest, which eventually formed a passage through the wales of the chest, which ended in three fistulous sores, wliich continued to discharge large quantities of pus up to May, when he was induced to try your medicines; at this date he was in an apparent dying condition and in the highest degree of nuxrasmus or consumption. He had severe hectic fever, the urine depositing Iar8e quantities of sedi- ment—constant distressing cough—no appetite-and the stomach reject- ing nearly every thing he took, both food and medicine. He began by taking fire of your pills night and morning, which were gradually- increased to ten, which, in a short time, had the effect of completely curing the cough, the stomach affections, and restoring the urine to its natural state. His strength and llesh are also restored, and his appetite keen, and digestion good. (Signed) ROBERT CALVERT.

AN additional aud important evidence of the salutary effects of BLAIR'S GOU1 & RHEUMATIC PILLS, Irom Mr. Thomas y ates. "5, Albion-road, Stoke NemflgtoB-gr«en, Feb, 6, 1817- Sm,—itl) much pleasure I acquaint you with the benefit that I have derived by taking Blair's Pills. On my journey five weeks' since, while at Chepstow, I had distressing symptoms of an attack of Gout in one foot, and with the utmost difficulty reached Bristol. By this time the disease had so much increased that I could not place my foot on the floor, the swelling being extensive and the pain excruciating. Having often heard of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic l'ills. I im- mediately sent to Messrs. Ferris and Score, Chemists, Biistol, for a box. which when I had taken, the pain had wholly subsided. 1 continued the Pills until 1 had taken two-and-a-half boxes more, when to my gratification I was perfectly restored to health, and able to resume my journey. 1 respectfully assure you tnat I shall recommend this valu- able medicine to the fullest extent in my power, and never while travelling shall I in future be without it. During my illoess, my residence was at Mrs. Slocouilie's, Greyhound inn, Broadmead, Bristol, wjiose family, if requisite, will confirm the facts I have stated. "I forward my case to you for publication, that the afflicted may be assured of and obtain relief. "I am, Sir, yours respectfully, c. THOMAS YATES. Traveller to Messrs. Day and Martin, 97, High Holborn, London." "To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand. London." The efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills is now uni- versally acknowledged, and for the class of diseases known as Gout, Rheumatism, Lumbngo, Sciatica, Tic Doleroux, and all analogous complaints, comment is unnecessary.

"Unquestionably this is a most extraordinary and skilful work, and ought to be extensively circulated, for it is quite evident that there are peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and con- cealed from the conductors of those establishments, and which cannot be too strongly rebrobated and condemned. The engrav- ings that accompany the work are clear and explanatory; and being written by a duly qualified medical practitioner, will doubtless be the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of maturer age, from the various evil consequences resulting from early indiscretions."—Magnet.

The authors of this valuable work have taken a very comprehensive view of the evils arising from certain pernicious habits contracted by the young people, also of complaints which are, we fear, too much neglected by the general practitioner. The mode of treatment and cure is clearly defined in this work, which cannot fail to be read with peculiar interest by those to whom it is more particularly addressed It will prove an excellent Companiou to those suffering from indiscretion and the effect of excess.-E1"a. This is a work of great merit, and should be placed in the hands of every young man who is suffering from past folly and indiscretion.- London Mercantile Journal.

PONTTPOOL. At a meeting, convened by a requisition of tpwaids of forty gas consumers of this town, Mr. John Sloper in the chair, the following resolutions were carried unanimously, the proprietor, Mr. John Price, meeting the inhabitants:— 1st. Resolved-That this meeting is of opinion that the sub. stitution of meters, instead of the present mode of supplying gas by tha quarter, should be from henceforth introduced.— Proposed by Mr. Ansell; seconded by Mr. Jenkins. 2od. Resolred,—Tbatthe price of gas per one thousand cubic feet be the same as the average of the majority of the neighbour-1 ing towns viz., Newport, Abergavenny, Cardiff, Bridgend, and Merthyr.—Proposed by Mr. J. Cadman and seconded by Mr. Read. 31d. Resolved,—T hat as Mr. Price has consented to sapply the publ c with meters, a committee of the gas consumers be ap. pointed to meet Mr. Price to arrange on the average price of gaa, as indicated by the towns named in the former resolution.— Pro- posed by Mr. Conway seconded by Mr. Jefkins. 4th. Resolved,—That the following gentlemen do form the committee :—Messrs. Joseph Cadman, W. Anaell, Henry Hughes, Thomas Jefkins, David Jenkins, W. Herbert, — Con- way, Charles Davies, James Bleadon, and J. M. Read.—Pro- posed by Mr. J. Nlathewi; seconded by Mr. Samuel Probyn. 5th. Resolved,—That the above-named committee confer with the Board of Roads, respecting the establishment of public light. -Proposed by Mr. Sloper -r seconded by Mr. William Wooda. 6th. Reso)ved,—I hat Mr. John Mathews be honorary secre tary pro tern.—Proposed by Mr. Ansell seconded by Mr. Charles Davies. A vote of thanks to the chairman was carried unanimously, and the meeting separated. The second of a course of lectures, on the connection between Christianity and right political action, was delivered on the even- ing of l'uesday se'onight, in Crsne-sireet Chapel, Pontvpool, by the Rev. S. Price, of A bersychan. The subject was the ina- lienable right and bounden duty of every man to act in accord- ance with his conscientious convictions in all the affairs ol hfe." The interesting lecture was listened to with great attention by a numerous and respectable audience. The nest lecture will be delivered by Mr. Evan Jones, of Tredegar, on the object and functions of civil goveinment. Sermons were preached in {two of our episcopal churches, on Sunday last, in aid of that excellent institution—the Church Pastoral Aid Society. It may be well to remark that this so- ciety has received, in contributions from the pariah of Trevetbin, the munifi ent sum of nearly £800. In return, for which it has until a ncent period, supplied gratuitously two clergymen; it now entirely aupports one minister. The Parent Society has extended its aid to 372 densely populated districts, where the inhalitants were perishing for lack of knowledge. The preachers on Sunday last were the Revds. John Jones, incum- bent of Blaenavon and James Hughes, rector of Llahilleth. The discourses were much to the purpose, and replete with con- clusive reasoning, and copious detail. We bear that the collec- tions, considering the times, were liberal. The hitherto dark neighbourhood of TrosBant is now nightly enlightened by the much appreciated appandage of a new gas lamp, which has been generously presented by our townsman, Mr. Joseph Daniel. This new light is placed in a pos.ition adja- cent to Zion Chapel, of which Mr. Daniel is deacon. With much pleasure we inform our readers that a highly re- spected gentleman, renowned for his liberality, has recently come forward and offered tbe gratuitous advantages of a commodious room, the use of firing and candles, free of charge, and the sum of £10. per annum, to further the operations of the Abersychan Mutual Improvement Society. We hear that it is contemplated to effect a reduction of some fifteen or twenty per ceot. in the wages of the numerous work- men employed at the various works in this locality. We would fain hope such is not the cale-but when we consider the gene- ral commercial depression, we cannot see a probability of any other alternative. We trust that our multitudinous opera- tives will view the matter in the right light, and not inflict upon themselves and the district the consequences of another disas- tous turn-out. Rumour, which some times states the truth, asserts that Mr. T. R. Price, professor of music, Newport, is about to coostaence a superior musical class in this town, for the purpose of studying the renowned woiks of Handel and Haydn. Mr. P.'s expe- rience and acknowledged talent will, no doubt, render the class attiactive to a large number of students.

SEAMEN'S WAGES. Michael Johnston, Thomas Williams, William Burns, John Williams, John Hull, and Henry Stevenaon, appeared this morn- ing, charging Richard Williams, master of the Ocean Queen, with noo-paymtnt of wages. John Williama, sworn, said: I signed the articles now pro- duced, on tbe 17th of October last, to perform a voyage on board the ship Ocean Queen, from Quebec, to a port of delivery in tbe United Kingdom, at £ 1*2. a month. I received £ 3. on account. 1 performed the voyage according to ihe articles, and was on board thirty days. The balance of £9. is now due to me. I arrived here on the evening of the 15th instant. By Mr. Bird, who appeared for the men I was discharged the next day. I asked him to settle with me, and he said he would not. The captain said he htd no question to ask him. The Mayor; What is your reason for not paying him ? Captain Because he is a deserter; he has no legal discharge be sailed with me three years ago, under another name, and he now has a false name. { fr ^e° ^ou ,0o'c k'm into your employ, knowing those Captain Yes, I did. Mr. Bird Then you are liable to a penalty of £ 10., under the Merchant Seamen's Act. A case was read, which was decided before Mr. Ballantine, on Friday, the 5 h instant, Joseph Wilkins and others against Robert Anderson, of the British Merchant, for which see the Shipping Gaiette, 6th of November. The Captain then went on to prove bis assertion, and called Ebenezer Keates, who said I am steward of the Ocean Queen. This man, John Williams, left the ship Canton, and shipped in the Ocean Queen, for Caidiff; and several times on the voyage I he told me he had run away from the Canton, at Quebec. The Captain said On the man signing the articles I asked him for bis ticket and discharge; he told me he had none that I he had ran away all of them told me so. By Mr. Bird, to the steward When did you tell the captain ¡ that Williams was a deserter 1 Steward In the course of the voyage. John Williams, to the captain Did you not tell me that it did not matter whether I ran away or not that you must have men to take ship home ? Captain Yes, I did. I do not remember promising you protection from the police. The captain said he did not dispute the amount of wages, but he held them to pay the master of the Canton. Mayor: Will you pay over the amount of wages due to Wil- liamsl to the cleik of the Court, who will see it handed over to the owner of the Canton, or the proper quarter 1 Captain Yes, I will with pleasure. The money was then paid into court. William Burns was then sworn, and said I signed articles on the 15ih of October, to perform the same voyage as John Wil- iisms: I got an advance of £3. 10s., and there is a balance of XB. 10s. due to me. The Captain said He was also A deserter. Ebenezer Keates sworn, said This man, Burns, shipped with us at Quebec, and several times told me on the passage home that he had deserted from the Canton, of Glasgow, lying at Quebec. Burns said he had no register ticket. The amount of £ 3. 10s.. was then paid into court. John Hull was then sworn, and said On the 17th October I shipped on board the Ocean Queen, to perform the same voyage as the others. I never had a register ticket, and that is the only difference between my case and the other. I shipped at £ 12., and received £3. on account. I am a native of Liverpool, and formerly sailed in the American packet-ship Constitution. The f-9. was then banded over to John Hull. Michael Johnston was next sworn and said: I shipped on the 19ih of October, and performed the voyage at £ 12. a month. I have had £3.00 account. I bad a free passage out, and never bad a register ticket. The reason the captain refused to pay this man was owing to neglect of duty. The log-book was put in, in which several entries were made that he was unable to steer the ship, and was repeatedly sent from the wheel and other neglect of duty. It was also proved that when he was sent from the wheel, another man took it, and steered the ship, showing the vessel was in a navigable state. The Bench ordered Johnston to be paid C4. Henry Stevenson was next called, and said I shipped on the 19tb, at £12. a month, and have had £3,00 account. Samuel Bold. mate. proved an entry that be had made in the log-book of the 25th of October, viz., that he had heard Stevenson say to the master, he had only entered to have a passage home, and that he did not expect any wages. Ordered to be paid f2. Thomas WilhaiDs, sworn, said He shipped on the 17th, at £ 12. per month performed the voyage as the others, and bad £4. on account. The Captain said he was a deserter from the Canton, of Glas- gow, lying at Quebec. Ebenezer Keates swore positively that several times on the passage to Cardiff he told him lie had deserted from the Canton. Williams denied ever being on board that vessel, but bad legally left the Hope, of New Medway. John Williams, one 01 the deserters from the Canton, of Glasgow, said he had been on board the Canton about a month, and Dcver saw Thomas Phillips on board that ship. Eight ponds were then ordered te be paid into coart. The Captais having paid the cost* of the court in the eases of Hull, Johnstone, and Stevenson, laid a complaint agaisat Wil- liam Born., for using threatening language towtrds bim, end putting him in bodily fear. Patrick Me Carthy was chsrged with being drunk aad die- orderly, in Bute-street, on Sunday night laat, at eleven o'clock.- P.C. Jones proved this case, and be was fined St., and 4s. costs, or six boors in the stocks.

Renew of the British Corn Trade. This has been a remarkably quiet week in the grain trade the tendency of the prices has, on the whole, been downwards, though scareely to the extent that might have been expected, considering the fall which took place in the value of wheat at Mark Lane on Monday last. The fact is that the supplies from the farmers have not 81 yet increased to anything like the extent anticipated and as the sowing of wheat is now pretty well finished, it would appear that growers are net by any mean* anxtous to realise at present prices. This, at all eveata, is the impression produced by the continued short deliveries and as millers are certainly much in want of good fresh quali- ties, doubts are beginning to be entertained whether, after all, pllces will give way much. Letters from Liverpool of Tuesday's date inform us that really fine qualities of new wheat had be- come very scarce there, and that while secondary aorta had sold slowly at rates 2d. to 3d. per 701bs. below those current on that day se'nnight, the best samples had commanded previous prices. The quantity of American flour appears also to have beem reduced into a very narrow compass at that port, and during the week ending 15th inst. the shipments coastwise aud to Ireland had exceeded 1100 brll., whilst the imports barely amounted to 10,000 brls. Good brands were then held at 30s., and that price seems to have been maintained up to the close of the week, though wheat was quoted rather lower than on Friday. The accounts Irom the other large consuming markets in the north describe the wheat trade as very dull, but holders appear to have shown great unwillingness to accept lower terms and neither at Leeds nor Hull on Tuesday, or at Wakefield on Friday, was a greaterl decline than Is. to 2a. pet quarter sub- mitted to. The reports from Birmingham, Bristol, Gloucester, and other towns in that part of the country, are of a similar character. At the chief markets in the agricultural districts, whether on the coast or in the interior, very moderate supplies have bees brought forward; and so little anxiety has been manifested by farmers to sell, that in many cuestbey had preferred taking back their samples rather than accept the prices offered. By our Scotch letters it appears that rather more liberal sup- plies had been brought forward at the principal markets; and at Edinburgh, on Wednesday, farmers' wheat was quoted 2s. to 3s. per qr. cheaper than on that day se'nnight. 1 he advices from Glasgow are of a similar character. Wheat sowing ap- pears to have been nearly concluded in the southern parts of Scotland, and the work is said to have been finished in a highly satisfactory manner. The reports from Ireland on that subject are also favourable, and some increase in the supplies (particularly oats) bad, we are are informed, taken place. This, together with the dull reports from this side of tbe channel, had given a downward movement to prices at several of the principal Irish markela- Tbere has been very little increase in the arrivals of wheat. On Wednesday scarcely a bargain was closed, and in the ab- sence of business prices remained nominall y as in the beginning of the week subsequently the anxiety to realise increased, and on Friday terms ra:her below those previously current were in partial instances taken. The receipts of wheat from abroad have consisted of 21,172 qrs.; and u Bathing like that quan- tity has beea taken off the market during the week, stocks have further accumulated. There has been hardly any country de- mand, and the coarser kinds of wheat have been almost wholly neglected. St. Peteraburg and similar sorts have been offered at very low prices, without exciting the least attention; and unless something unforeseen should occur to give an impetus to the demand, much difficulty is likely to be experienced in dis- posing of the large quantity of low Russian wheat on the marlret. The inquiry for flour has been very slow throughout the week; and though the nominal top price of town-made has remained unchanged, other descriptions have been offered somewhat cheaper, without leading to much business. Really fine parcels of American having become very scarce, have been held at nearly previous rates and as our stock is small, and we are nearly 3s. per brl. below Liverpool, it is hardly probable that the best brands can go down in value. The supplies ot barley of home growth have been very small, and held pretty firmly. At the same time we cannot note any improvement either in the demand for, or value of, even the finest qualities, and the common sorts have hung very heavily on band. Foreign barley has sold slowly for grinding, at muck the same terms as before. The operations in malt have not been of much importance and its value has undergone no change requiring notice. The arrivals of oats have proved more than the market could stand, and the turn ha.s been decidedly in favour of the buyer. Superior old corn could not be bought cheaper either on Wed- nesday or Friday than in the beginning of the week; but new. particularly Irish, was certainly easier to buy. New Scotch oats were likewise more pressingly offered towards the close of the week, and lower terms were in some cases taken, rather than incur land charges. Very few English beans have come to market, and this article has maintained its previously bigh value. Egyptian beans being comparatively cheap, have met with a modeiate share of atten- tion. The alteration in the weather has given a slight impetus to the demand for white peas, which has, however, been freely met by sellers, and no portion of the late decline has been recovered. Indian corn and Indian-corn meal have been taken in retail at fully former terms, and some farther small purchases of rye flour have been made for cattle feeding, at our quotations.- Mark Lane Eipress.

Review of the Foreign Corn Trade. In the early part of the week the steamship Cambria arrived, bringing advices of recent date. from the principal ports of the United States. Stocks of bread stuffs appear to have been re- duced into a very narrow compass at the ports on the seaboard. and full prices had been paid for flour for local consumption. Wheat had become very scarce, and the millers had experienced considerable difficulty in securing sufficient to keep their mills going 50s. to 52s. per qr. was about the price of white, and 47s. to 48s. 6d. per qr. of 4801bs. of red wheat. The rate of freight to Great Britain had not varied, and veaseli were plen- tiful. From the north of Europe the accounts are of much the same character as before but, on the whole, the tendency of prices appears to have been downwards at the leading Baltic ports. Our Danzig letters are of the 13th inst.; the wheat trade waa then very depressed there, and it was the prevailing opinion that If no orders should be received from Great Britain, prices would recede materially during the winter months. The operations had since that day week been on quite a restricted scale, though sellers had shown a disposition to facilitate business by accept- ing somewhat reduced terms. At the Lower Baltic ports some further purchases of wheat seem to have been made on English account; and we leara from Rostock that a cargo or two had been sold at 51s. per qr., cost and freight. This appears to us a high price, and we can scarcely think that Brilish merchants will continue to buy at such rates. From Stettin we learn that a few cargoes of wheat were being dispatched to Scotland, but that business was not, on the whole, active, the orders received having generally bfeu limited, too low to allow of their execution. The price for fine red wheat was then 48s. per qr. free on board. At Hamburg, on 'I uesday, the trade was scarcely ao active as it had previously been, the latest advices from London having acted as a check on the disposition to speculate. Holders had, nevertheless, remained very firm, and for fins qualities of red wheat on the spot, weighing 631bs. per bush., 53s. 6d. per qr. free on board had been demanded. In the south of Europe wheat is relatively higher than in the north, and at present there does not appear to be the remotest possibility of imports into Great Britain from any of the Me- diterranean ports. At Leghorn, Trieste, &c., wheat is much dearer than in the Baltic; the quality not so suitable or markets, and freights to this country considerably hig w. at Marseilles, where there are good stocks of Black Sea wheat. prices are too high to admit of shipment to Log an
