      Lomdon Corn Exchasoe, Mosdat, Dec. 29.— ...

      Lomdon Corn Exchasoe , Mosdat , Dec . 29 . — The past week ' s arrivals of wheat of home produce , coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample , have been unusually small , and of very middling quality . Of other kinds of English grain , including flour , the receipts were on a full average scale . The imports of foreign wheat and flour were seasonably good , while the fresh supply of Irish oats was , on the whole , extensive . Fresh up to-day very little ^ English wheat came to hand , either from Essex , Kent , or Cambridgeshire ; consequently the stands were scantily supplied with samples of that description of produce . The attendance of both London and country dealers , most of whom were very short of stock , being large , the best parcels of English wheat , both red and white , comTnsinueu a steady sale at an advance in the

      currencies obtained on this day se nnight of from is . to 2 s . per quarter , and at which a good clearance of such sorts was effected . - In the middling and inferior kinds of English wheat , which formed the bulk of the supply , a full average amount of business was doing , at very fall prices . The show of free foreign wheat samples was by no means large . For selected parcels the demand ruled steady at extreme figures ; but other descriptions commanded very little attention . The speculative demand for all kinds of grain under lock was unimportant ; yet the importers were firm , and , in some instances , owing to the advance in the value of English , would not sell their wheats , except at higher rates , say of Is . per quarter . We had rather an extensive supply of English barley on show . Very little of it was , however , fit for malting

      purposes . Selected parcels , therefore , commanded a ready sale , at full prices . In other kinds exceedingly little was doing , aud a clearance of such was not effected . Superfine season-made malt moved off freely , and prices were well supported , while all other kinds were quite as dear . Notwithstanding the large arrival of oats from Ireland last week , the quantity of that article here to-day was not to say extensive . This circumstance must be attributed to a large portion of the supply having been landed in granary -, the holders preferring holding forward rather than submitting to present prices . The oat trade must be considered firm , at very full prices . The supply of beans was moderately good . All descriptions moved off slowly at late prices . In peas a good business was doing , yet no advance in value was noticed . The flour trade was steady at full prices .

      I Losnoif Smithfield Cattle Market , Mosdav , Di ^ c . 29 . —For the time of year the importations of livt * stock into London , during the past week , have been extensive , viz ., 52 oxen , 45 cows , 630 sheep , and 89 pigs , by the Giraffe and Ocean steamers , from Rotterdam . Prom Jlaaiburgh the supplies have been about 20 oxen , while from ilarlingen § 0 cows and 58 aheep have come to hand . At Ilull 1 C 0 head of beasts and sheep have been received from Holland . To-day wc had an offer of 45 foreign beasts and 200 sheep , in , generally speaking , middling condition . The former were speedily disposed of at from . £ 14 10 s . to £ 21 , the latter 32 s . to 44 s . per head . From our own graaing districts the arrivals ot beasts fresh up to this morning's market were very limited , and of inferior quality , owing to which , and the increased attendance ot both town and country buyers , the be ef * trade was steady , at , in most transactionsan advance on the currencies ob-LoNnoff Smithfield Cattle Market , Mosdav .

The supply of sheep was unusually small ; hence the mutton trade ruled active , and the quotations improved 2 d . per 81 bs ., the primest old Downs selling readily at 5 s . 2 d . per 8 ibs . The general quality of the sheep was good . There were very few calves on offer ; yet the veal trade was by no means active , though prices were well supported .

      without alteration in value . Manchester Cors Market , Saturday , Dec . 27 . —In the early part of the week the trade assumed a more confident tone , which was further increased by the improvement noted in Mark-lane , and in flour a fair extent of business was done with consumers , whose stocks are light , at prices which were not previously obtainable . Oats and oatmeal were slowsale , and tho latter article rather easier to buy . There was not a numerous attendance at our market this morning , and only a moderate amount of business was transacted in wheat , at improving prices . A steady demand was experienced for flour , at 40 s . to 42 s . per 2 S 0 lba . for British , and 33 s . to 35 s . for Canadian . There was not much inquiry for oats , but no alteration in value can be noted . Oatmeal was in

      very limited request , and barley supported the currency of this day week . Birmingham Corn Market , Wednesday . —This week we have a good demand for wheat , at an improvement on all descriptions of Is . to 2 s . per quarter ; farmers' samples of fair quality realised 6 s . 3 d . per ( 12 His . There is more doing in barley , but no advance can be obtained . Oats are pressed for sale at a further decline of Cd . to Is . per quarter , without finding buyers to any extent .

Flour is 2 s . per sack cheaper .

      Hull Corn Market , Tuesday . —We have again to report a dull week in the corn trade ; there has been no demand whatever for either free foreign or bonded . This has been very much caused by the uncertain state of political matters . The return of Sir Robert Peel to office , and a probable early settlement of the Corn Law question , is not unlikely to restore confidence , A t to day ' s market there is a fair supply of old and new wheat ; the farmers are asking mora money than the millers are inclined to give , consequently the business passing is by no means large , at a shade more money than last week . In spring corn nothing doing ; several samples of oats showing . Linseed and linseed cakes , as well as rape seed and rape cakes , are very dull .

      Two Men Drowned. —On Saturdav Morning, A...

      Two Men Drowned . —On Saturdav morning , at Woolwich , an aged waterman , named John Davis , was engaged by a labourer named Airy , employed in clearing the mud bank on the Essex shore , to take him across the river . Davis ' s boat lay out in the river , opposite Ship Stairs , and , in order to reach it , it was necessary to get into a very small dingy , which was moored to the stairs . Accordingly , three persons , Davis , Airy , and a lad named Long , stepped into the dingy . The small craft , which was hardly adapted to convey one person , immediately upset , and all three were thrown into the river . Long clung to the boat , and held on till assistance arrived , when he was rescued . Unfortunately there was not a single waterman ' s boat at the stairs at the time , and tho two men , neither of whom could swim , at ' toc struggling a short time in the water , sank . Both , bodies were picked up soon after in the very spot where the accident

      occurred . Fatal Accident on the Richmond Railway . —On Monday afternoon an accident , which we regret waa attended with fatal consequences , occurred in that portion of the works of tho Richmond Railway , contiguous ( to the proposed junction of the South Western Railway , at Falcon-bridge , Battmea . About half-past four o ' clock on the above afternoon , a young man , named Giles , who was employed in driving trucks loaded with earth , had detached his horse from the truck at the usual distance from the " tip " ( the place where the load is shot ) , when , from soma unexplained cause he fell in front of the truck which at the time was descending an incline , and two wheels momentarily passed over his chest . The truck was laden with between three and four tons weight of earth . He was deprived of life almost instantaneously .

      Pio . ua Plant . —The proof of the efficacy and healthful effect of the Plant in preference to tea or coffee . Let a nervous or dyspeptic patient use two or threo cups of strong tea upon retiring to rest , and the effect will be night-mare , disturbed sleep , and other violent symptoms of indigestions , Ac . The Proof : —Let the most debilitated , dyspeptic , asthmatic , consumptive , and nervous patients use two , three , or more cups of a very strong infusion of the Piqua Plant , and in the morning they will awake refreshed with their repose . It is highly recommended by physicians to invalids and children , as a most invigorating and pleasant beverage . —Sec advertisement .

      Holloway ' s Ointment a . nd Pius . —Professor Ilolloway , the discoverer and sole proprietor of these wonderful and extraordinary medicines , has , in con « sequence of their infallible efficacy , in healing , in tho space of a very short time ( when they arc used togcher ) the most dangerous wounds , ulcers , anillikcwise , king's evil , or scrofula , instructed all his agents to return in future to persons whatever they may pay for these remedies , whenever they may fail in any of the cases , however desperate they may be , when properly tested , and iouud to fail ,
