MINING INTELLIGENCE. VALE OF TOWY.—A. Waters, T. Harvey, Feb. 4: In the 110, south of Clay's engine-shaft, we have intersected the great cross-course, and commenced driving towards the intersection of main lode, south of the heave. In the 100, driving north of the said shaft, the lode is 20 inches wide, composed of barytes and blende, but not to value. In the 100, driving south of same shaft, the lode is 2 ft. wide, and unproductive; the ground is a little mfee favourable than for some time past. In the 90, south of Field's shaft, the lode is 6 ft. to 7 ft. wide, yielding paying quantities of blende and lead ore. In the new adit, driving south of Nant's shaft the lode is 4 ft. wide, composed of gossan, quartz, and decomposed elvan. The barytes is entirely cut out for the present, and we hope soon to have a run of ore ground. The tribute department is without change to notice, and has been for some time past. At the Vigra and Cloall meeting, on January 24 (to which we have already referred), the suin of £100 was awarded to the directors for their services to the end of last year, and it was resolved that 95 5s should be allowed as attendance fees for each future board meeting; the sum of £50 was voted to Mr. Gillman for past services, and his future salary as secretary was fixed at Y,100 per annum Mr. Goodman was awarded L20 for past services and advice, and his fee as auditor for the present year was fixed at LIO 10s. The shafts suggested by Capt. Paull in 1860, and subsequently by Captain Pascoe, for facilitating the pro- fitable working of the copper lodes have, from serious im- pediments, been abandoned, and two deep adits, under the advice and to meet the views of the Government surveyor, have been opened, one at Vigra and the other at Clogau Mountain, and negociations are pending for effecting these cuttings by machinery. Daring the past year only 25 or 30 tons of copper ore had been dressed, and, as it does not pay to raise the ore by the present mode, the prosecution of the same has been suspended. The gold is obtained from the St. David's lode. worked under a license from the Crown, distinct from the Vigra and Clogan. Capt. John Parry reports that during the year 374 fathoms of ground have been removed. The quantity of auriferous ore carted down from St. David's lode and passed through the large maohines was 449 tons 18 cwts., yielding 580 ozs. 10 dwts. 7 gre. of fine gold, and the visible gold passed through the small machines was 6 tons 2 cwts. 32 lbs. yielding 2303 ozs. 11 dwts. Capt. Pascoe thinks there is plenty of auriferous quartz above the level for the present machines for many years. CWM BR.VNE. This mine, situated near Llangaiock, Carmarthenshire, and formerly worked under the title of Casara, has been purchased by Mr J. P. Thomas and several influential gentlemen, some of whom were previously con- nected with the property. During the last two or three years there has been some division amongst the share- holders, in consequence of which the mine has not been worked with the vigour that its indications would justify. Although imperfect operations have been carried on, in a little more than 12 months this mine has produced, chiefly on tribute, more than £ 3,000 worth of ore. From the character of the course of ore, the length of ore ground, and the manner in which it improves in depth, the bottom level —the 30, below adit-being the richest in the mine, a general confidence is expressed that upon sinking the shaft another 10 fathoms, and extending the levels north and south, sufficient ore will be discovered to make permanent returns and profits. In addition to what is known as the Blue Lode," from whioh returns have been made, a Red Vein" has been discovered, so named because of the rich gossan it contains: A course of ore has been discovered in the adit. The intention of the present parties is to sink the shaft upon the underlie of the lode, and cross-cut at the different levels to intersect the Red Vein." The ground is very easy. being soft slate-clay. The lode is at presant producing rich lead, mixed throughout with con- genial carbonate of lime. The company is divided into 1.800 shares of £3 each, j62 of which has been oalled. This will be the purchase money of the property, leaving £ 1,000 towards the future working, which it is considered will, with the returns, be ample to bring it into a paying condition. The machinery is equal to returning 100 tons per month.

AGRICULTURAL INTELLIGENCE. BRUISED GRAIN V. OILCAKE.—Would you inform me as to the relative feeding qualities of bruised oats or barley at 9a 4d per cwt., and oilcake at lis 6d ?-P.H. [Something will depend upon the quality of the oats and barley. If these are inferior the oilcake will prove the cheapest feeding substance. But a mixture of the three substances should return the highest profit for the value of the food consumed.] SALT.—Can you inform me if there is any truth in the as- sertion that the application of salt will prevent or mitigate the severity of finger-and-toe in the turnip crop. If so, at what period would it be advisable to apply it, and in what quantity per acre ? [Salt mixed with lime ii known to miti- gate, and in some cases to prevent finger-and-toe. The quan- tity of salt must be regulated by the situation of the land in reference to the sea. Lands situated ten or twenty miles from the sea may require salt at the rate of 5 cwts per acre. The salt should be mixed with lime two or three raontns previ. ous to the period of applying the compost. The salt can be diuolved in water previous to adding it to the lime, or it can be mixed in a dry 9t4te The compost can he applied in August or September, and at least one year prior to the growing of a turnip crop.] WHEAT AFTER Bt. -I have taken for a course of crop- ping three fields that have lain out in grass for the last 4 or 5 years, and which I am now having ploughed up. One of them I should like to crop with wheat, but aID told that it will not grow oats, since it has been heavily marled about 15 years ago. Do you think I am safe to try it with wheat, by giving 3 cwt. of Poruvian guano ? and what kind of wheat would be most suitable for me to sow in lea at this sea- son? I was thinking of trying a bearded variety, as I understand, like barley, it does not burn up. Your opinion r y o. may sow the will greatly oblige.—H G., Inverness. [Yo-i may sow the variety known as April Wheat, which is an awny variety. The land may be seeded by the middle or end of March. Obtain the seed from the Lothians. It is not improbable, however, that wireworm may cause considerable damage to the wheat plants, and should the season prove oold and wet, you will not reap an abundant crop of grain in a climate so cold and moist at that of Invernessshire. Under the circum- stances, would it not be advisable to sow beans or to plant potatoes ? Beans almost invariably succeed well after lea, and we feel confident that the bean crop, taking grain and straw into account, will yield you more money per acre, and leave the land in a much better state for succeeding crop,. If you intend to take a leguminous crop, grow a mixture of beans and peas. The mixture may be about I bushel of peas to 3 of beans.]

FARM CALENDAR FOR FEBRUARY. I THE FARV. -As soon as the land is in a suitable state for I)eing stirred, ploughing and seeding should be pro- ceeded with. All operations should now be rigorously prose. cuted, so that there may be no delay when the period ar- rives for sowing wheat, beans, oats, and barley. WHEAT SOWING.-Embrace every favourable opportunity for seeding land with wheat select a clean, dry sample of an established variety, and which has fully ripened in a sunny district. For early districts select Hunter or Fenton for later districts, Brodie, Red Chaff, or Oxford prize. Talavera can be sown up to the end of March and April wheat up to the middle of April. To prevent black-heads, and ball, dress the seed. By dissolving the sulphate of copper, or the sulphate of soda, or still better the nitrate of soda in water, a steep can be prepared into which the seed can be dipped. Place a bushel of the wheat in a guano bag, and dip into a vessel containing the liquid. As the grain is wetted empty it out on the floor. A little hot lime may be riddled over the heap, or dry guano. I lb. of the sulphate of copper is sufficient for 4 bushels of wheat. If the sul- phate of soda or the nitrate of soda is used, allow at least 1 lb. of the substance for each bushel of wheat. Allow a liberal quantity of seed. If a drill is used, eight or nine pecks will be an ample quantity if sown broadcast, eleven to twelve pecks wil f be sumcient Avoid o'erharrowing, as the tred. ing of the horses.injure all damp loams. The frosts which may be expected during the next six weeks will meliorate the surface soil, and tend to foster the young wheat plants. Previous to purchasing seed wheat calculate whether a crop of wheat or barley will yield most money per acre. As a rule when the situation of the land admits of the culti- vation of wheat, all thin soils, particularly those resting on the boulder clay, will yield a higher return from a whoat than from a barley crop, while deep friable soils, if in high condition, will usually give more money per acre from a barley than from a wheat crop. It has been frequently as- certained that certain soils will yield nearly as many bushels of wheat as of barley per acre. MANURE should be liberally applied previous to sowing the seed except the manurial condition of the land is such as to endanger the safety of the crop should the season prove moist or hot during the period the plants are develop- iing the seeds in the ears. By applying one or more of the portable manures to the land previous to seeding it, the period of growth is usually shortened by several days. The following mixture is suitable for wheat-2 cwts of Peruvian guano and 2 cwts of superphosphate per acre If the field has a tendency to produce a rank growth of straw substitute for the Peruvian guano 2 cwts of a phosphatio guano, to which add 3 cwts. of salt. In applying manures to the soil study to have it equally itpread over the field. To asist this equal distribution, past the manure through a screen or wire riddle, and those lumps which remain should be broken, or kept until the period of potato planting or turnip sowing, when these lumps should be broken and mixed with the other portable manures. TARES.—Seed an aore or two with a mixture of tares and oats, so as to furnish a sufficient quantity of green forage during July. Two bushels of tares and one of late Angus oats is an ample allowance for the acre. The seed should be deposited in rows this will admit of the use of the hoe to destroy any weeds which appear. Previous to sawing, the land should be freed of all root-weeds, and should be libe- rally manured. A mixture of guanos and superphosphates may be applied at the rate of 6 to 8 cwts per acre. BEANS.—In early districts February is a very suitable period for the sowing of the legumes, provided the land is properly drained, and the weather such as to admit of seed- ing the land without poaching it. Even in late districts beans can be sown by the end of the month with advantage, pro- vided the seed is deposited in drills, and the harrowing down of the drills delayed until the end of March. The plan of sowing beans in drills of 28 inches should, however, be abandoned for the more improved system of depositing the seed in rows of 16 inches apart. Machines for depositing the seed on the flat are in co-amon use in the south-eastern counties of England, and such machines should be obtained by all extensive growers of the legumes. On those farms where the breadth is restricted to one field, rows can be formed by paring ploughs, each drawn by one horse, the distance of these ridges being 16 inches. The seed can be sown broadcast, and in covering the seed the harrows should be drawn only along the line of ridgps. If the harrows are drawn across the line of the ridges the seed is partially dis- placed out of the rows, and the plants will appear as if they had been sown broadcast on land not ridged. OATS.—Where the circumstances are favourable, oats can be sown by the end of the month. Sowing can be performed by hand or machine. Broadcast sowing machines are to be preferred; as, except the land is infested with the seeds of annual weeds so as to render hoeing imperative, depositing the seed by drill? is not conducive to the luxuriant growth of the oat plant. For sowing this month, select the late va- rieties, such as Late Ansjus, Duno, Oat, &c. On deep fri- able soils, favourably situated as to climate, the Potato variety can be sown this month. Study to abtain clean and sound samples for sowing. If it is deemed advisable to grow a mixture in preference to one distinct variety, select two or more kinds which ripen about the same period. The quantity of seed should be regulated by thewariety,situation, condition of the land, previous cropping, and with reference to the manner in which the seed is deposited. If by a drill eleven pecks per acre, by a broadcast machine fourteen pecks per acre, should be the maximum quantities. The most common mistake is in sowing a greater quantity of seed than is requisite to secure a sufficiency of plants. See that the surfaoe is partially reduced before sowing, and render the soil so manurially rich as that the plants will tiller rapidly. It is almost impossible to render land too rich for an oat crop. Therefore expend money freely on portable manures for applying to land to be seeded with oats. BARLEY.—In the South of England, barley is sown during the month, particularly on soils which have a tendency to produce an over-luxuriance of straw. In Scotland occasion- ally a field has been seeded with barley during the last week in February, and the result has been generally satisfactory. But the conditions require to be very favourable for such early sowing. Of all the varieties in cultivation, Chevalier is the best for early sowing, and except the climate is not very suitable for the growth of barley, it is the best kind to cultivate except when sowing requires to be delayed until May or June. Under such circumstances, select an early va, iety such as Scottish. GRASS SEEDS can be sown by the middle or end of the month, either on land seeded in autumn or seeding during this month with wheat. Select clean ryegrass of medium weight, and of a bright colour Obtain clovers of good quality and free of the seeds of the dock, thistle, &c. Restrict the quantity of ryegrass, except the land is to remain in pasture for more than one year; 1 peck of Italian and 1 peck of common ryegrass is an ample allowance. Mix with this clover at the following rates. For outting green 6 lbs ) com- mon red, 2 lbs cow grass, 2 lbs. alsyke, and 2 lbs. yellow. For pasture, mix 2 lbs. Timothy, 8 lbs. red clover, 2 lbs. alsyke, 4 lbs. white, and 2 lbs. yellow, with 1 peck Italian and 2 pecks common ryegrass. Sow if possible by a machine and cover the seeds lightly. Plough stubbles and ley land. If the stubble land is too damp for stirring, delay ploughing until the season is far- ther advanced, particularly if the soil is argillaceous. Clay soils are usually easily reduced in spring if they have been undisturbed until the beginning of April. The fur- row should be of ordinary depth all deep stirring should be delayed until summer or autumn. Ley land should be turned well over. The furrow being rough rather than smooth, the action of the weather will tend to close the furrows. Those who believe that it is an advantage to the oat crop that the furrows should be placed at an angle of 45 degs.. and pressed, should undertake experiments. TURNIPS.-The turnips still remaining on the land should, when the weather is favourable, be pulled, and the tops removed. By allowing the roots to remain the bulbs retain more of their juices. The bulbs can be stored in pits in the field if it is intended to consume them with sheep on the land. The fold can be gradually increased as the pits are removed. Those turnips intended for sheep kept in a ley field should be carted from the field in which they grow. If required for cattle the turnips should be carted dircJt to the steading and stored in pits. The covering should be light Study to econnmise all kinds of feeding substances, as, should the spring prove backward, there may be a large consumptive demand for turnips, mangold, hay, and straw TURNIP LAND should be ploughed as soon as the condition of the land as to dryness admits of storing. The furrow should be neat and of medium depth. STOCK — Stsdy the comfort of all the animals on the farm by so doing health will be maintained, and food will be economised. All changes in feeding should be gradual. CATTLE being fattened should receive a variety of feeding substances. If the turnips are cut and pulped, and mixed with cut straw, the cattle will make more rapid progress, while the consumption of turnips will be economised. The cut chaff might be moistened with gruel made from dissolved rapecake or meals of any of the grains. A mixture of cikes add Wflla io to Wo preferred tn oithor tjinglj*. TK- rule should be always carefully observed to feed regularly, and to increaae the allowance of concentrated feeding sub- stances, oleaginous cakes. CATTLE intended for grazing should be allowed cake at the rate of from 4 lbs. to 8 lbs. daily. Yearlings thrive better upon straw with a certain allowance of cake, than upon straw with full turnips. The allowance of cake, may vary from 3 to 6 lbs. daily according to the age, condition, and size of the animals. Rapecake of good quality should be selected in preference to linseed cakes, being fully fifty per cent cheaper. DAIRY STOCK.—Cows in full milk should be fed on semi-liquid food, given moderately hot. The cut turnips should be mixed with chopped straw. Kapecake is one of the best substances for inducing a flow of rich milk. Be- sides being cheaper than linseed cakes, it is believed by some dairymen to be superior weight for weight. The quantity of cake should be restricted, except the cow is to be fattened for the shambles. Cows in a dry state, but which are expected to be in full milk in spring should be kept in a thriving state. The food given being principally CUt Straw, 2 to 4-lbs. of rapecake may be allowed along with the straw. If turnips are given, the quantity should be re- stricted to say 40 lbs. daily. During frosty weather the al- lowance of turnips should be diminished, and only those given which are entirely free of frost. HEIFERS in calf should be kept in a growing state, but all overfeeding should be avoided. SHEEP being fattened on turnips should be supplied with cake and a small allowance of fodder. If the fodder is cut and mixed with pulped turnips and placed in troughs, the consumption of turnips will be considerably diminished. I Sheep folded on turnips should have the fold changed fre- quently. If hay or straw is accessible in hecks, the sheep will fatten rapidly, and there will be fewer deaths among the flooks. Hoggets will now begin to shed their teeth. It is therefore important that the turnips or mangold should be out. Mix cut straw and hay with the pulped or sliced t irnip. Cake or corn can be given at the rate of 1 lo. daily. Bran is very suitible food if given mixed with finely-broke cake, or with linseed. Barley is cheaper than beans, bitt the latter is more suitable for sheep fed on turnips. EWES should be kept quiet, and should not be disturbed with dogs. The shepherd who uses his dog to gather the ewes together, or to drive them from one field to another, will have more deaths among the ewes, and a smaller per- centage of lambs than the shepherd who carefully keeps the dog from disturbing the ewes. Those ewes expected to lamb during the month should be liberally treated, and should be housed during the night. Thoie having dropped their lambs should be confined in a warm place and fed on turnips, cake, corn, and hay. They should be kept housed until the weather becomes mild and settled. By the middle 01 March the ewes and lambs may he turned out aauy into a grass field, but brought under cover before night. With ordinary attention to housing and feeding, the number of deaths can be reduced to about one per cent. HILL STOCK requires to be carefully watched during the month. A sudden fall of snow may occur, which, if accom- panied with wind, will speedily drift, and envelop some of the sheep. By studying the movements of the mercury in the barometer, the approach of a storm can be foretold. A sudden fall is usually followed by a snow storm or gale. The ewes and hoggets should be kept on the best pasture on the hill. If turnips o*n be taken on moderate terms, a portion, if not the whole, of the hoggets should be removed to the turnips. During hard weather hay should be supplied without stint to the whole of the flock. PIGS intended for sale should be kept on nutritiousifood. A mixture of boiled potatoes or Swede with meals of any of the grains is a very suitable diet for those pigs which are being prepared for the shambles. The food should be given of a moderate consistency. Pure water should be supplied at least once in the twenty-four hours. Breeding sows can be kept in condition 011 mangolds and Swedes If the Swedes are given cooked, the swine will thrive better than when the Swedes are given uncooked. Distillery offals are very suitable food for sows and pigs. POULTRY.—All kinds of poultry not required for keeping up tne stock should be fattened and sold. A mixture of boiled potatoes mixed with barley meal is very suitable food. Boiled rioe is held in high estimation by the feeders of turkeys. Milk is very suitable for all kinds of poultry. To induce hens to lay eggs, keep them warm and olean; supply food moderately hot; lime or chalk should be placed con- venient for them, also a heap of sand. HOUSES will now be in the yoke nine hours daily, therefore the allowance of corn should be increased. Keep the horses dry and comfortable. When they return to the stable wet, they should be rubbed dry the feet and legs should be kept as dry as possible, and all washing in ponds avoided. Mares in foal should be kept in the plough, as it is seldom advisable to use them in the cart. Colts to be yoked in spring should be handled and led about daily. If they are now accustomed to the bridle, they will be more tractable when required to supply the place of the mares in foal. FENCES. -Thorn and beech plants may now ba planted in gaps. The soil should be dug deep and fresh earth placed at the roots. Road scrapings are suitable. The earth at the roots of thorn fences may be stirred with the spade or steel grape. ODDS AND ENDS.—See that all water courses are clear of obstructions. Keep the stackyard, steading, and roads, clean and tidy. Remove all collected mud to the compost heap, and see that all the implements and machines re- quired in spring are in a state of repair.

I SHEEP FARMING. Having heard that on the Sutherland's Creek, in the Geelong district, a system of mixed farming, combining sheep and tillage, had been initiated, we have visited the locality for the purpose of getting reliable information and seeing what had been done. Mr.J.M. Hall is the gentleman who has ventured to enter on this untrodden track, and to chalk out for himself a system of reproductive farming and to him the agricultural community is deeply indebted, not only for setting the example, but also for affording to in- quirers information on the matter at issue, i t; whether, and how it will pay. For ourselves we acknowledge with pleasure the cordiality with which we were met, and the unusual and enlightened liberality which induces Mr. flail to place at our disposal every fact and item of cost and return which a farmer about to commence would be likely to require, and which we have his fullest permission to publish. The extent of the farm in question is 465 acres, 130 acres of which are in cultivation, and the remainder in the natu- ral pasture, 200 acres of which last have been oocasionally used as a day run for the sheep. The fertility of the cul- tivated portion having become seriously impaired by re- peated cropping for eight years, a breeding flock of 260 good roomy ewes was purchased, and were entered on the farm on the 8th November last year they have thus had a year's trial; the figures, therefore, will have reference to that period of time. Though good sizeable sheep, they were well bought, costing but nine shillings a head three rams were als) purchased at seventy shillings each, which were immediately put with the ewes. Notwithstanding the want of experience in the management of that kind of stock on arable land, and the consequent loss of several lambs during inclement weather, the produce reared was equal to 95 per cent, or 245 lambs from the 210 ewes; and these lambs have been all sold for the butcher, except eleven that have been kept to replace in equal number of barren ewes partly killed for the use of the farm, and including two or three losses. The lambs realised prices varying from nine and sixpence to fourteen shillings each, the average being as nearly as possibly eleven shillings. The clip of wool, which was sold in the grease at the low price of 9d per lb., real- ized, after paying expenses of marketing, &c., in round figures X50. The above therefore are the principal direot items to the credit of the sheep of their indirect profit we shall have occasion to speak hereafter. The cost of atttendance is the only direct item of expense, and this is of a most trivial nature, and would not have been needed bad the farm been conveniently subdivided with suitable fences. The young urchin who tends them, and who is scarcely as heavy as the smallest of his charges, gets at present 5s per week and his board, though a former attendant had been getting less. A few hurdles also had to be purchased, which coat 3s a pieoe; we omitted to ascertain the number, but 50 would have been more than were needed. The direct item of profit and loss then will stand th us Capital account. 260 ewes at 9s £ 117 0 0 50 hurdles, at 3s 7 10 0 124 10 0 The year's returns will be 245 lambs at lis 134 15 0 12 cwt. wool, net produce 50 0 0 184 15 0 The year's cost- Boy, say 10s per week £ 26 0 0 Wear and tearofhurdtes. 1 10 0 Ewes lost, say 2 per cent, 5 at 9s 2 5 0 29 15 0 Balance of profit. 155 0 0 Ur 125 per cent per annum on the outlay. We now come to crops consumed by the sheep. Six acres of mangolds were fed off by them, and were all the feed they had besides the natural pasture, of which a paddock of 200 acres was occupied by them ju..t whenever it was conve- nient; they were usually in the latter by day, and folded by night on the mangolds. They were folded also over about 12 acres of land, since sown partly with wheat and part mangolds, the dry weather at a certain season having prevented other land being appropriated to the mangold crop. But the excessive manuring the land got through the 1 .I: f. ç O {\ luiuiug uu 11/ ui ewes, naving caused the wheat to be what is termed winter proud, it became necessiry to feed it off no less than three times, in which not only the sheep, but the horse stock also assisted, and the wheat now just in bloom, 18 as fine a crop as could be wished for. Ad- joining this is other wheat manured by the dung cart, the sheep yard, the milking yard, and the stable contributing the materials. Below, and adjoining the preceding crop of wheat, is a wide breadth exhibiting a very different appear- ance. Though ploughed and sown at the same time as that which had been dunged and folded over, there will certainly not be one-fourth of the crop. Ten bushels to the acre, indeed, will be as much as it can possibly yield. The soil of this farm and of the neighbourhood generally is of a very superior character. It is strong and dark, sometimes black, and all of it nearly so. We were never more struck with the effect of continued cropping with cereals than in this natu- rally fertile district, where an inspection of the soil would lead one to anything but the conclusion that the state of the crop discloses. There is a wide breadth of land under oats on this farm, again evincing that the soil is tired of them we also observed a paddock partly laid down with Engligh grasses, in which red clover was predominant, and for the most part looking well, but better by far than that sown by itself, an unusal circumstance, and therefore worth noting. There was also a piece of self-sown oats being cut for hay, and the sheep were being folded on the stubbles A second piece of mangolds was soon met with these were later sown, and without manure, except one cwt. of Peruvian guano per acre scattered in the drills, in which the seed was sown. A few acres of rape have been tried this season, the blight, however has proved too much for it, and the sheep will have to clear it at their leisure. The process of subsoiling the land is being proceeded with annually to as great an extent as can be compassed. Some rwfn 1.1 "hnro "rorl f. 4-t. -_4 r 1 marked contrast to others less favourably situated. The formation of reservoirs of water has been attended to. In addition to the creek, there is always a two-years' supply of this indispensable fluid for the use of live stock. Some of the oat land of last season is receiving a summer fallow, and a subsoiling, after which, if it gets the invaluable aid of the sheep, a good return may be anticipated. A small dairy is kept and some useful brood mares and foals tenanted the pastures, but to no greater extent than required for the working of the farm.— Victorian Farmer's Journal.

THE CORN TRADE.. MARK-LANE, Monday. We have had another week of fine weather, most of it being very mild but on Friday the temperature was greatly reduced, with a sharp east wind. Field work has, therefore, proceeded at a rapid rate, and the soil has turned up well, though in low places there was still too much wet. Nothing could exceed the beautiful appearance of the young Wheat, which, however, began to grow too fast, and a bright green was rapidly overspreading the meadows. This will now be beneficially checked, as well as all vegetation, which was getting much too forward. The samples of Wheat, should the sharp wind last, will s ion be in improved condition, and, the general complaints of mugginess and damp give place to an active demand and a healthier tone of trade. Sufficient time, however, not having yet elapsed, the Wheat markets have continued their lanquid reports, and here and there an occasional reduction of Is per qr. has been submitted to on the best sa nplea. Foreign supplies falling off, with less chance of a speedy opening of the Baltic, the week closed firmer for all good-conditioned sorts. There seems, how- evar, but little disposition to speculate at present rates, the general averages being 60s per qr., and nothing but a re- newed French demand would be likely to materially enhance prices. As yet there are no general signs of this, the heavy imports hitherto having had a disastrous result, from their prematureness but the country markets in France have already risen, and the shipping ports, unless they continue overdone, must eventually follow. The late frost has ceased from Holland to Harabro' but the Baltic markets remain heavy for Wheat, and rather cheaper. As also does New York but Odessa is only dull. With the exception of a heavy supply o Amencan flour, our arrivals last week were moderate. The only exports were 75 qrs of pe1s. Of British wheat there were 2.796 qr. of foreign 25,681 qrs. But few additional samples of English wheat appeared this rooming. Those samples which were improved in condition went off more readily, at the previous rates, but the damp lots were still neglected. There was a firmer feeling in the foreign trade, with some inqvjry for France at Is per qr. below holders' views and dry parcels found a limited sale for consumption. Of coun- try flour there were 14,886 sacks, of foreign 374 sacks 43,011 barrels. Very little doing in Norfolks, and former rates were hardly sustained. American barrels were dull, and 6d to Is cheaper; but town rates were unaltered. Of Bri- tish barley there were 3,991 qrs of foreign 2,861 qrs., with 120 qrs. from Ireland. Malting barley was a slow sale at previous rates, and all other descriptions were rather in buyer's favour. The malt trade was heavy, and rather lower to make sales readily. Of oats there were 21,667 qrs. -namely, 5,266 qrs. English, 5,464 qrs. Scotch, 12,289 qrs. Irish, and 8,654 qrs. of foreign. Business was calm for all sorts, and rates rather easier for Scotch and Irish de- scriptions. Of English beans there were 1,246 qrs., of foreign 1,370 qrs. The trade remained heavy, and Egyptian were rather lower. Of native peas there were 317 qri. of foreign none. White boilers were down fully lsperqr., and other sorts dull. Of Linseed there were 26,564 qrs. The exports were 2,4CO qrs. The heavy supply from India lowered prices Is per qr.; but there was more demand. In seeds generally not much was doing, though there was an improved attendance, and fine English red oloverseed was held for more money, this quality being scarce. There was, however, plenty of low sorts and foreign, which were a slow sale. Canary still heavy. Tares and other seeds much the same. LIVERPOOL, Tuesday.-The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since this day week have been light. From foreign ports we have received 14,957 qrs. wheat, 8,296 qrs. Indian corn, 14,931 barrels flour and from Canada 4,233 qrs. wheat, and 2,421 barrels flour. The exports in the :same time comprise 4,525 qrs. wheat, 5,735 qrs. Indian corn, 1,967 sacks and 832 barrels flour. The trade has been ex- tremely languid during the past week, and in the absence of demand prices of all articles have shown a downward ten- dency. The weather has been changeable, and it is now mild and open again after two days of bard frnst. At this day's market there was a fair attendance of the town and country trade, and rather a better consumptive demand was experienced for wheat, but at a decline of Id per 100 lb. on common descriptions, and 2d on the finer qualities. Flour was difficult to move, although offered at 6d per barrel and sack under the prices of this day week. Oats may be quoted jd to Id per 45 lb. and oatmeal 6d to Is per load lower, and very slow sale. Barley and beans were without alteration in value, but peas were again rather lower. Indian corn was inquired for, and a fair quantity was disposed of at 30s 6d per 4801b. ex quay and in store. ROCHESTER, Tuesday.—For the season, the supply of wheat at this exchange to-day was fully an average one, but the trade continues to be depressed. Most of the samples exhibited were in improved condition, the late severe frosts having produced a marked improvement on the quality of the grain. Inferior and secondary kinds of wheat were scarcely looked at. Best lots of white wheat ranged from 60s to 66s; and secondary, from 54s to 60s per qr. for best parcels of red the rates were 563 to 60s and inferior, 488 to 563. The demand for barley waa steady, but in several instances a decline of 6c1 to 11 per qr, was submitted to. Best malting lots were done at 36s to 43s and grinding, 28s to 33s; but the demand was generally quiet. The business done in oats was to a moderate extent, and for good qualities the demand still keeps active. Best Polands were quoted at 2Gs to 293, and other kinds at 23s to 26s per qr. The demand for beans continues quiet, and prices are about the same as those of list week. Peas dull. Little doing in fluur. The frost still continues very severe. LONDON, Wednesday.— The arrivals of Euglish oat3 and foreign barley are large, of English Barley good, and of other grain very small. There were but few millers at market this morning, and very little business was transacted. Wheat, either English or foreign, prices are nominally as on Monday; the same may be said of spring corn.

The Flour trade of Paris during the week has remained very dull, though prices have continued unaltered, millers finding a difficulty in the purchase of Wheat at former prices. Quotations for the first quality were 71 to 75 francs per 157 kilos. (46s to 48s 6d per 2801bs. Eng.) For the four and six marks the price was 74f 50c per 157 kilos. (48s per 2801bs.) for the current month,'for April 77f (50s per 280lbs) Wheat, with less offering, has been held at 50c to 75c per 120 kilos, advance-say 9d to Is 2d per qr. White English and Californian samples were held at 45f per 120 kilos. (69s per qr.), red to 44f (67s 6d per qr.), with buyers for both qualities at 9d below these quotations. Danzig and Stettin sorts were quoted 44f (67s 6d per qr.), mixed American 39f to 41f (60s to 628 6d per qr.) Rye remained firm at 24f 50c per 115 kilos. (37s 6d per qr.) For extra fine malting Bar- ley 20f per 100 kilos, was asked. The best Oats were still held at 29f 50c per 150 kilos. inferior were as low as 26f 50c per 15 ) kilos. Red Cloverseed had given way 2f to 3f per bale. Trefoil was steady. The country Wheat markets were generally dearer, say from 25o to 80c per hec. (7d to Is lOd per qr.) but Houdan was 35c lower, say lOd per qr. Bordeaux, Havre, and Marseilles were unaltered at the latter port, however, there was more briskness in sales in consequence of the rise in the country. A moderate business in Wheat had been transacted at Antwerp, both for home consumption and France, at rather lower rates, say 6d to Is per qr. Rye was a better sale at full prices. Fine Pomeranian Wheat brought 62a 6d, Danish to 61s 6d, Milwaukie to 58s 6d. native to 63s 6d per qr. American Flour to 32s per brl. Liege was in calm for cereals, to which the inundations of the Meuse had contri. buted, several of the mills being under water. At Amsterdam Polish Wheat had given way Is to 6d per qr., but not other descriptions. The mills at Maestricht were overflowed, the Meuse not having risen so high since 1850. Rotterdam notes a better demand for Wheat at former prices. Navigation was re-opened for steamers at Hambro' on the 1st inst. Wheat had declined about 2s per qr,, with scarcely anything doing b-it stocks not being great, some reaction was expected. Kye was also rather in buyers favour, and Barley was fully Is per qr; lower. Fine white upper country Wheat to 63s, red Saale and Wahren to 61s, Danzig in the outports to 588 6d, fine red Pomeranian to 59s per qr. Wheat prices had rather given way at Berlin, and Rye was less sought for. Oats also were rather cheaper, as well as Barley and Peas, which were offered in plenty. The market for Wheat at Danzig had been declining in consequence of discouraging accounts from France and England, the reduction being about 2s per qr. A week's sales comprised about 3.300 qrs. Wheat, half of which was old. For the last three weeks very little business had been done in Wheat at Mayence, the prices in Franconia and Bavaria being too high. But, on the oher hand, the sup- plies from the country were below what was usual, and the "pinion was gaining ground that stocks were running out. Bavarian Wheat, on the spot, was quoted 58s per qr. 0 Though a complete stagnation obtained at Odessa, such confidence was felt in the future that holders di i not give way in the prices of good-conditioned Wheat. Freights were dull, the port yet being closed by ice. Business had been rather animated lately at Trieste, but less favourable advices from the west brought on a dulness, which rendered prices nominal. Rye had not, however, given way, the demand still being good and Maize was not cheaper. The same calm lately ruling at Constantinople still ob- tained in cereals, especially as regards exports, but prices were firm. With a good fall of rain throughout Algeria, the Arabs were busily engaged in sowing their corn. There was, therefore, scarcely any attendance at the markets, and the little trade passing consisted of purchases for consumption. 100 kilos. (47a 6d per qr.), fine Dellys to 28f 75c (53s per qr.)

Fazelle Flour, of soft Wheat, 5711 to 58s per sack of 2801bs. The dull reports brought by the Arabia to New York pro- duced a complete stagnation there, with prices lower for all hreadstuffa. Notwithstanding diminished receipts, Flour was down 5 to 10 cents per brl., and Wheat 2 to 3 cents per bush. Maize was cheaper 9d per qr., with nothing doing in the way of export.

TRADE REPORT. MINCINO-LANE, MONDAY. TALLOW.—Subjoined is the weekly circular of Messrs. Colchesters and Woolner" The tallow-market has ex- hibited considerable firmness during the past week, and an advance of Is per cwt. has been established in all positions. This must be attributed mainly to a reaction after the late heavy fall. The demand from the trade has been only moderate, but the deliveries have b!eIl good, several parcels having been shipped to the continent; at present our ad- vanced quotation, prevent the f°re*5n orders  being executed. The price is steady at St. P?ersburg-48 to Tq?i silver roubles with hand money for August, and 46 to 4G silver roubles all money down, at which business has been done. To day the market is steady, at 47s on the spot and for March this price is paid for April to June, and 48s 6d for the last three months.

COFFEE, fhere were no auctions to-day, and the only sale to report is 3,180 bags St. Domingo afloat, for a near port, at 69s per cwt. TEA.-The sales to-day comprised 4,809 packages, of which 1,761 (including 690 boxes) fjund buyers, 794 being offered without reserve." China teas have passed without any alteration, but Japan teas in jars have sold in some cases fully Id per lb. lower. RICE.-At public sale to-day 3,616 bags Bengal were sold at 10& 3d to lis 3d, low middling broken to good middling broken, being 3d to 6d per cwt cheaper.

INDIGO,—The quarterly sales (4,853 chests) °^'a commenced this morning. There was very modera?e coo' erj petition for Bengal and Madras, but Kurpahs, beingyary scarce, sold freely.
