      Affairs Of Switzerland. Press Of Matter ...

      AFFAIRS OF SWITZERLAND . Press of matter last week compelled us _towithhold _« i . r usual artiek * on foreign affiurs : wre now return tea consider ation ofthe present state of things in _^ We "ave ample details in our last of the invasion of Lucerne by thc liberal refugees belonging to that canton , aided by the _Tolunteers from Argau , Berne , * e Lucerne i « situated nearly in . the centre of Switzerland , and its position appeared to point out this canton as thc natural battle-field ofthe two great parties _v _hjch divide the Confederation . Lucerne is , iix fact , at onc of the extremities of the lake of the four cantons , on the borders of -which are situated

      tic p rimitive cantons of Unterwald , Uri , and Schwytz . To the north of these is the Catholic canton of Zug . lucerne , therefore , on the east touches ti _i" _c-anions most in -favour of the Jesuits , and the _late of the four cantons offers it a direct and easy _tonimunicatiou with them , enabling the Lucernese to obtain their aid at very short notice . On tie vest , Lucerne , ou the contrary , adjoins the cantons cioit strongly in favour ofthe liberal side , and -which he in the following order round her frontiers : — _Ar-mu , Basic ( country ) , Soleure , and Berne . Lastly bet ween the canton of Zug and that of Argau , to the north of Lucerne , is the dn _* ecting canton of Zurich . Thus placed between its allies on one side , and its adversaries on thc other , Lucerne became the

      necessa ry battle-field for both parties . The invasion of Lucerne is to be deplored for more _reasons than those associated with its sanguinaiy issue . By violating the territory of Lucerne , and attempting by violence to overthrow the Government of that canton , the Liberals of the neighbouring cantons clearly placed themselves in a wrong position , _afid took the most effective steps they conld have _taken'to gain for the attacked Lucernese the sympathies of neutral parties . The Government of Lucerne maybe a vile despotism * bnt to effect a reform thereof by the hostile action of the "free bands " of ' other states , -was only calculated to make Blatters worse , by risking thc involvmentof the entire confederation inthe horrors of civil war .

      Still , much may be urged in extenuation of the _wuduct ofthe Argovian and Bernese Radicals . For months past , the Jesuit party in lucerne have pursued the Liberals ivith a bigotted and cruel intolerance . Persecution has been tiie order of the day ; and hundreds of the Liberals were throwninto prison , or compelled to seek safety by flight . Sympathy fbr the unfortunate refugees , aided by a very natural [ di sgust at fhe worse than useless proceedings of the _JEstraordinaiyDiet , and the indignation necessarily [ eiigendered "by the insolent interference ofthe " great bowers , "" caused the explosion on the part of the [ _Sadicals of ihe neighbouring cantons , the fatal _jsaue [ of wliich our readers are already informed of . I Several causes combined to defeat the expedition .

      [ he refugees and volunteers numbered but from i _/ A to 5000 men , opposed to a force of not less than Q _. OOO men . The invaders had to march fourteen _eagues , and had to seize , by main force , all the ini-Kirtant passages to enable them to reach Lucerne . [ hey had to bivouack in the plains or upon hills OTered with snow daring two cold nights , -while the loops opposed to them were sheltered and supplied ritli all the resources of a capital city- The _cxpedijooary army knew that their friends in the city werc unnerons ; bnt these conld afford them no help , as _JifT were disarmed—martial law proclaimed—and lersons forbidden to appear in the streets , except _ins-ly ; under pain of death . Left to its own proper

      • > rces , the Lucerne Government must have suo ambed , bat they -were aided by immense forces ¦ om Uri , TJntenraldcn , and other Catholic cantons . n the arrival of the Radicals before Lucerne , they und these forces , all fresh troops , brought by the teamers to Lucerne , arrayed against them , inaddiion to - file forces they hadexpectcd to combat with _, _( or was this all , ' the expedition appears io have tf-ome disjointed in its march , or , perhaps , for the ccounfs are by no means clear , was never united _, iotwiihstanding these misfortunes the Liberals _perjnacd prodigies of valour . For three hours , it is aid , the victory-was balanced , and the Jesuits only ain . ed their dear-bought victory by the shedding of _oircnts of blood .

      It was stated that thc leader of the expedition , 1 . _Ochsexbetx , wa 3 lulled atthe commencement of se conflict ; this , however , has since been _eonaMed , and it is said that lie has -returned to _tojungen . _Kappas the the became separated from Lebiilk of his army , and re-crossed the frontier with rat few followers . The report that Dr . Siegiee Lad teen shot in cold blood by the government of -Kerne , has also been contradicted . Many acts of iiikrity have been imputed tothe Lucernese troops , ttich , for the sake of humanity , and ihe honour of jhe Swiss name , we grieve fo record . There appears j ftkve been a needless and highly criminal destruc-Effiof the lives of the unfortunate refugees , and femriecrs , when retreating towards the frontier .

      las been stated that a number of the prisoners " « _batchered in cold blood , and that , but for the _exfeflB ef General _Soxkebebo to theconfaary , a ge-* _ral massacre of these unfortunate men would have _teaplace . Wctrustthatthese alleged assassinations _ayyetljediisprovea : bnt , if true , -we are not sur-¦ isd at them . When men _Emulated by -religion 3 btry - fi ght under the inspiration of the priests , _k-re is no atrocity they will hesitate to perform . Lb instance of this " savageism "was lately given in thc ee Zurich _Gazzette , in which it was stated that at a _!* ieir of ihe landstnrm in a district of the Catholic _li-ton of Friburg , the head baLUie delivered an

      Mares in which he used the following sentences : — f " uiree who are not for the Jesuits are against them bd against our holy religion ; the faithful -who meet ah , rmght to rip them vp and finish them , and the feuit fathers accord to them _absduHonx _^ orehand !" " m accurately has the prediction of Colonel _Ltjviki , _fe- _^ byhimin Ihe Diet on the 28 th of February sen fulfilled : — " The Jesuits , " said he , "had been _nited to Lucerne : and if the vxty was deluged with _k-J , and coveredwiilt dead—if the cries of desolation vriued them in their course , still would they persevere des checked by the strong hand of power . " Alas " " -the human race , when Shellet ' s fearful _descripss of the past is but the faithful portraiture of the isent ?

      "Yes I Save seen God ' s worshippers unsheath li * sword of his revenge , when grace descended , _Wafirnung all unnatural impulses , ! sanctify their desolating deeds , _-iad frantic priests waved tiie ill-omened cross O ' trthe unhappy earth ; then shone the sun Oa showers of gore , from the upflashing steel , * # * And Wood-red rainbows canopied the land . " The unhappy contest in Switzerland has afforded the hired journalists of this country a fine oppor-; uity of lauding despotism , and denouncing repub _tainsiH . As a specimen of the falsehoods of these leudacious writers , we give the following extract ymtne Morning Herald . Tiie vrorld is just now receiving some valuable instruo a a ? to the comparative value of republican and _mo-• "ditcal institution * -. All Europe is , and has long been , _'ie-andistHrbed enjovment of a perfect freedomnot

      , 5 from international bat from civil war , one state only ¦ _tpiea , and that state happens to be the only state in Vl _* which has preserved the republican form of _go"Miest . In Switzerland only are men armed against : fi KUier ; but in Switzerland the fellow-citizens of the _^ npuhlic are slaughtering one another with a vigour J l » atinadty -worthy of the middle ages . It is unne-= _*"•*** io inquire which party is right or -wrong ; the _conisiafion that presses at the moment is this—Could the _wfioa of rip 7 _if be determined in any of the other states Europe only by an appeal to the law of homicide ? We _*¦ _*? that no one who considers the general advance _fe dming the last fifty years in a knowledge of the real _Crests ofmatdrind and of human rights , by the Eurou GovanHnents , i \ indeny that only in a "Republican >« -aaient could pass the scenes that are now passing _5-ntM-rla-aa .

      _itwl _J e of impudence can no further go !! pout to ji-ing the Mstorv of the last fifty years , a £ _Jl , last fifteen * wffl prove the utter false" 5- _^ above paragraph . Within that time f ? i l j a _sfflguinaiy revolution in France , in ie « hundreds were slaughtered , wholly caused by ; S _^ P _. wg lyrannv of the Monarch , and the in-: nes ol tie priests and Jesuits .

      _rLi _^ gs against the detestable Chbistlva ; then the intrigues of the same _CHiusim when exiled to France ; then the efforts of thc militaiy dictator , Espakiebo , to preserve the throne "intact : " then the butcheries perpetrated by Narvaez , the siege of Barcelona , and the other atrocities of the last two years . Spain is one of the oldest monarchies in Europe ; and all the atrocities of the last fifteen years—the slaughter of thousands in battle—the wholesale shooting of prisoners—the treacheries and peculations which have disgraced that country—have all been the work , or at least have been perpetrated in the name of monarchy . " In Switzerland only , " say 3 the writer in the Herald

      , " are men armed against each other ; " _knowing all the time , as he well does that the present Government of Spain only exists by brute force ; that that Government is divided Mo ' two parties , each plotting violence against the other ; and that there is every likelihood that a few months , perhaps weeks , will see that country plunged again into the horrors of a civil contest , caused by the accursed conspiracies of the enemies of liberty , of whom the monarchy is the representative . The writer in the Herald asks . "Gould the question of right be determined in any of the other states of Europe only by an appeal io the law of homicide ? " Why , the history ofthe world tells

      that" Through kings , and priests , and statesmen , wars arose . " " Alight makes right"' is the universal motto of kings . The " law of homicide" is the law b y which they rule ; blood cements their thrones ; and without the sword the sceptre-would lie powerless . The deplorable proceedings in the canton of Lucerne have caused a renewal of the newspaper talk respecting foreign intervention . Having already discussed this question in a previous article , we need not offer many additional remarks here . Most probably the " great powers" are waiting to see what steps will be taken by the Diet to restore tranquillity . Should the Diet be unable , as before , to agree to any effective measure to put an end to the existing troubles , or should the Diet prove itself unable to enforce

      its views , then there is too much reason to apprehend that France and Austria may attempt the fulfilment of their threats . The Times actually calls for tMs intervention , as fhe " sole means of restoring peace and preventing the effusion of blood . " A strange reason truly , when the act of intervention would necessarily cause the shedding of blood far beyond what could possibly be caused by the quarrels of the Swiss themselves . We say necessarily this would be the case ; for , as a matter of course , the inhabitants of Berne , Zurich , and the other Liberal cantons , would rise en _-wasse against the foreign invaders ; and , we hope , not behind hand , would also be found the mountaineers of the primitive cantons , whose bravery in the recent contest all must acknowledge . The appearance of a French army , or the still more

      hated forces of Austria , would , we doubt not , be the signal for a fraternisation of all the Swiss against the common enemy '; so that not peace , but war—a sanguinary and terrific war- —not the stoppage , but the effusion of blood , would be the natural results ofthe threatened intervention . But the limes pants for intervention , because it fears , otherwise , "the triumph ofthe most execrable revolutionary principles . " The re-organisation of the Swiss compact , and the formation of a " great republican state in the heart of Europe , " would be a consummation most hateful to the despots of the Continent . A triumphant democracy on the French frontier would be anything but welcome to Louis _Pmupse . On the other side , Switzerland is too

      closely allied to Italy not to cause alarm to the suspicious tyrants of Austria , Sardinia , _^ Naples , and Some . The Swiss democracy must be not the less hateful to the Prussian despot , for the protection afforded b y the cantons to the exiled German liberals . And of course , naturally and consistently , the Russian autocrat hates ail that beat's a semblance of freedom , and would only be too happy to assist in Polandising the land of Tell . The English Government affords its countenance to the intervention ofthe others , because it instinctively dreads thc progress of democratic principles . Moved by this spirit , the Times denounces in the same breath the Reformers of this country and those of the Continent : — "The Chartists of England , the Communists of France , the Socialists or llluminati of Germany , the Carbonari of Italy , or , in other words , the bad and disorderly

      spirits which exist only for the purposes of anarchy in all countries , have infected Switzerland with tins virus , and the evil has spread . " Thus bellows the Thunderer . "The evil has spread ! " Let it spread more and more , say we . Forward I ye friends of liberty and champions of man ' s rights , denounced as " anarchists" by the hired libellers of truth and justice . Forward to the fulfilment of your glorious mission—the rescuing of the nations from ignorance , error , and slavery . If kings combine , and priests confederate , to stay the march of liberty , and check the growth of free thought , do you also combine , you patriots of all nations , in sympathetic co-operation to render nugatory the efforts of the bloodstained chiefs of might and fraud . Yes , the good , the Times libeller has denounced as " evil , " has spread , is spreading , and will spread till the day of triumph for the right arrives : —

      a "For the heart and the mind ,. And the voice of mankind , Shall arise in communion—And who shall resist that proud union 1 The time is past when swords subdued—Mau may die—the soul's _renew'd : Even in this low world of care Freedom ne ' er shaU want an heir ; Millions breathe but to inherit Her unconquerable spirit—* _Wheu once more her hosts assemble , Tyrants shall believe and tremble .

      FIELD-GARDEN OPERATIONS , For the Week commencing Monday , April 2 Wt , 1844 . [ Extracted from a Diabt of Actual Operations on five smallfarms on the estates of Mrs . Dalies Gilbert , near Eastbourne , in Sussex ; and on several model farms on the estates of the Earl of Dartmouth at Slaithwaite , ia Yorkshire , published by Mr . Nowell , of Farnley Tvas , near Huddersfield , in order to guide other possessors of field gardens , by showing them what labours ought to be undertaken on their own lands . The farms selected as models are—First . Two school farms at WiUingdon and Eastdean , of

      five acreseach , conducted by G . Cruttenden and Jehn _Ilarris . Second . Two private farms , of five or six acres : onc worked by Jesse Piper , the other by John Dumbrell—the former at Eastdean , the latter at Jevington—all of them within a few miles of Eastbourne . Third . An industrial school farm at Slaithwaite . Fourth .

      NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS . Poiatoe Food . —Among other inorganic substances , the potatoe plant _appeai-s to be especially fond of potash , but soda being very much akin in many respects , it may become the substitute of potash . The plant , doubtless , would prefer _potosi , but , if absent , will content itself with soda . These substances are contained hi the artificial mixture below described ( No . 2 ) . Guaxo per Acre for Potatoes . —Guano also may be substituted , when really good , for the manure of the fawn-yard , in this crop . Mix well four or five ewt . of guano , after pounding it to the finest dust , with eight or ten times its bulk of wood-ash eharcoal ,

      peat charcoal , potash compost , or clay compost , ana apply the mixture above the seed , interposing a slight thickness of earth , and cover up as usual . No . 1 . —Professor JonxsToxE ' s used aloxe , fob oxe Acre of Potatoes . —Common salt 1 \ ewt . ; wet lime ( old ) 5 bushels ; mix them well together , and let them remain a week . Then add twenty bushels of wood-ash charcoal ; sulphate of soda * ewt . ; sulphate of magnesia , i c \ vt . ; sulphate of ammonia , 1 ewt . ; peat OV saw-dust 1 ton , * eoal tar , or aas Water , 20 gallons ; work all well together . Tliis mixture , No . 1 , as well as the guano , is placed above the seed , with only a thin layer of earth interposed , and covered with a moderate thickness of soil .

      No . 2 . —Saw dust 40 bushels ; potash , mixed with lime 14 months old , 10 bushels ; common salt 168 lbs . ; sulphate of ammonia lewt . ; sulphate of soda 56 lbs . ; sulphate of magneaia 56 lbs . ; coal tar or gas water 20 gallons . Turn the mixture well over , keep it dry , and allow it to ferment one month ; then strinkle it at the bottom of the drills ,. and place down the potato sets , covering as usual . In applying any of these artificial mixtures , expect them not to remain long in the soil to the promotion of following crops . The expense of the application is smallthey act with energy—they come back quickly , in the form of vegetables , and therefore a frequent renewal will be requisite .

      Lucerne . —( Seed sown , 20 to 24 lbs . to the acre . )—The best time of sowing is from the latter end of April to the middle of May . The soil ought to be light and dry , well tilled and mixed ; not strong , stony , or clayey ; neither inclined to be wet , nor spongy' ; with a chalk or sand y sub-soil , perfectly clean , and especially from couch grass . Fork thc land over , going two spits deep , with a carrot fork , its prongs 16 inches long , a little flattened . Dig in plenty of good farm vard manure . Open drills with the hoe , IB or 17 inehes apart , and two inches deep , not more , fit a quill into a hole , pierced through a cork , which , fix in the neck of a wine bottle , dry in the inside . Put your seed into the bottle and scatter it out through the quill in proper quantity , within

      and along the drills , whieh cover lightly . This crop ought to be well manured in January , February , or beginning , of March , avoiding the use of lime . The grand secret , however , in to cultivation , is in the cleaning of it , hy frequent hoeings between the rows . Treasure Trove , —Br Duep Digcixg ls a " _Vaj-jdet / , ok Bbacht Head . —The excessive wet of List winter prevented the best fanners under the Downs from Ere paring their stiff land for Belgium carrot-seed efore the succeeding continued dry weather prevented the seed from vegetating ; but as the chalk soil absorbs all the rain which falls on it , I was able to sow ten acres of white carrots on Birling , between the middle of March and the middle of April , which got root to stand the dry weather , and swelled into

      bulbs with the first rams , many of which exceeded 5 lbs . weight . This enabled eighty sheep , —whicli would according fo custom have been sold in the autumn to be fatted elsewhere , —to be kept and fatted at Birling on carrots and other farm produce only ; and a pen of these sheep being found the best at Hailsham market , January 22 nd , I am tempted to beg the favour of your printing this , to invite other farmers on the chalk soil to try early sowing in case di _* y weather should again check the growth of turnips on the Downs . I must add , it was not only early sowing wliich gave this usefhl crop of carrots for sheep and oxen , which they thrive on better than on turnips , but having Hie land well dug , two spits deep , one spit under the other , with forks fourteen inches long . This plan answered so well , that I am now

      employing six men digging the alluvial deposit in a valley for carrots . I think , whoever tries even halfan-aere of similar soil , from Salisbury Plain to Dover , will agree with me , that no crock of gold would be of equal value to being able to raise food on which to fat the sheep reared on the Downs . —Thos . Shorter , bailiff of Birling Farm , on Beachy Head . Seed . —The largest and most perfect grains of all corn should be selected for seed , they containing the most nutriment ( farina ) for the germ . A good method of obtaining such is to shovel from a heap ( previously well dressed ) , and tin-own from a shovel to a few yards distant : the most weighty will be sure to fall first , and are , therefore , the best . This practice is resorted to by intelligent grooms for horses of delicate appetites , to give them much nutriment in a small amount of food .

      Seed Sowing . — The common practice among fanners _^ even those that are termed intelligent , is to sow grain thicker upon poor soil than rich . This must he obviously wrong , and experience proves it so . About four years ago , a farmer gave instructions to the labourer that was to dibble a field for wheat , to insert two grains into each hole upon a richer portion of the field , and three where the ground was poorer . At thc request of a bystander , a few yards of the poorer ground was sowed with only one seed in each hole ; and the result was , that those few yards f ar outstripped the same quantity of the richer soil in quantity and quality of produce . Thc soil was all on an equal elevation , or nearly so ; was not too wet , or in want of either a free current of air or a congenial aspect . Where any of these defects occur , labour in all cases should be applied for their removal . It is useless and a waste to sow three grains for fear of slugs andmildew destroying two ; all run the same chance of destruction .

      Vermix . —Many _fanaew are at a considerable ex . pense in cleansing , their lands from vermin , driving away and killing crows , sparrows , & c . It would be more to their advantage to send upon freshly ploughed ground a quantity of fowls , ducks , or geese , who would consume the lawse of insects , worms , grubs , slugs , and the seed ' s of weeds . They would also spread a portion of the richest manure . The fear of damage may be obviated by the attention of boys , or by enclosing them in pens , or under a barred frame , raised about eighteen inches from the ground .

      Sheep-Washing . —At a recent meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society , a paper , on sheep-washing , with a description and model of a pond for washing sheep , by Mr . R . Boyd , Inverleithen , was read by Dr . Mercer . The author is of opinion that sheep in general are most imperfectly washed in this country , and that the process is less understood or attended to than almost any other subject connected with the management of live stock . In proof of this he affirms that it is no uncommon occurrence for fleeces in the process of scouring , for the use of the manufacturer , to suffer a reduction in weight of not less that one-half . The mode of washing sheep ought to be regulated , in no small degree , by the nature and properties of the composition with which they

      arc salved . Mr . Boyd found that sheep-iarmers never washed their sheep in a running stream , but in a pond , corresponding in siee to the number of sheep to be washed . After a few scores had been carefully hand-washeil , the water in the pond assumed the appearance of soap suds , when the r est of the sheep were made to run across , and were twice dipped in then * passage , by wliich it was found that the fleeces were completely freed from every kind of impurity , although still of a dusky hue : this also was removed by causing them subsequently to swim across a pool of clear water , b y which the fleece was rendered of a pure white colour . From repeated experience of the efficacy of this mode of washing , as _a-kuirably adapted for flocks which have been salved

      with the artificial yolk salve , the author strongly recommends that a similar method should * be practised in Scotland , instead of river washing , that is , merely swimming the sheep across amnning stream or gently flowing pool , which can have little or no effect on the wool which has been salved with tallow or oil of any kind . For this purpose , he advises that every store fanner should construct a pond of a size corresponding to the extent of his flock , in a situation not only convenient for collecting the flocks , but where it can be * easily filled from some adjoining stream . It sometimes happens that , owing to the nature of the soil in wliich the ponds are constructed , and when animal or vegetable oils have been used in salving without being previously saponified , thc

      alkaline earth in solution with the water , and also that raised from the bottom , is not found to possess sufficient power to saponify the greasy matter contained in the wool . The result in such a case is anything but satisfactory , but thc evil may be remedied by mixing a quantity of fullers' earth with thc water of the pond . During the operation of washing , itis necessary that a small quantity of water should be kept running into the pond , to supply the plape of what is carried off by the wool ofthe sheep which haye been washed . Having been collected on the margin , the sheep are seized one by one , pulled into the water , turned on their backs , drawn from side to side , & c , and , after being dipped over head and ears , are assisted un the _sloninn _hnnh :

      They ought then to be allowed to stand for some time till relieved , in a great measure , from the water taken up by the fleeces , and as soon as a slight'appearance of steam begins to issue from their bodies , they ought to be made to swim _thrbu' _- _'h a pool of clear water , as free from current as possible , so that the wool may float loosely around the animal , and allow any remaining impurities to escape . If the pond be filled with water several days , or rather weeks , before it is required , the change the -water undergoes by exposure to the air , will greatly facilitate the operation ; and if aquantity of urine , the larger the _uetter , be thrown into it the morning of the washing day , it will be found to form , along with the fullers' earth , an admirable solution for extri-

      cating such substances used in smearing as are of more than ordinary difficulty in getting discharged trem the fleece . From numerous experiments the author hnds , that a great advantage arises from the pond b _« _ingot small 8 izc , and the quantityof water consequently small-an effect owing to the increased tern- ; perature of the solution contained in the pond . He also recommends that a solution of soda-ash should be used , as that commoditv is now comparatively cheap . It may also , bethinks , bean advantage to have the pond lined with larch deals . By adopting this method of sheep washing , Mr . Boyd has obtained fleeces of great purity and beauty ; and he is of opinion tliat if generally followed , the Scottish fleece would obtain a character for purity , wliich , unfortunately , it has not hitherto attained .

      Lokdok Corn- Exchange, Monday, Apnil 41....

      Lokdok Corn- Exchange , Monday , ApniL 41 . — The arrivals of "English wheat , oats , beans , and peas were very small during the past week , but of barley a fair quautity , and of malt alarge supplvcameto hand coastwise . From Scotland a few parcels of barley and oats were received , and from Ireland a moderate quantity of the latter grain . The fovcism arrivals consisted of a cargo of barlev from Antwerp , about 8000 qrs . of oats , principally from Holland , and a . few beans and peas . At this morning ' s market there was a small show of wheat by land-carriage samples from the home counties ; only a moderate display of barley and oats , and very few beans or peas offering . The temperature has slightly risen of late , and during

      thc last few days frequent showers have fallen , which must prove very beneficial to the Lent crops just committed to the ground . There was a slightly improved demand for wheat to-day , factors were , however , unable to establish any advance , but at last Monday ' s currency a fair clearance was made . In free foreign wheat , the transactions were not very extensive , but the article could scarcely be bought on aa easy terms as on this day se ' nnight . Flour met with _, little attention and quotations underwent no change . The inquiry for barley was languid in the extreme , and to have made much progress in sales rather less monev must have been accepted . Malt was _likft-ffiw

      difficult of disposal , aud the turn cheaper . The principal oat buyers acted with great caution , in expectation of further foreign arrivals ; factors were nevertheless firm , and needy purchasers had to pay quite as much money for good corn as on this day week . Beans sold readily and realised fully previous terms . Peas of all descriptions were in request , and in partial instances more money was paid for hand-SOmeMaples . The season for sowing clover seed in drawing to a close , _andi'rices have sonic tunc tended downwards . The demand for tf & _'es is also falling off , and in other sorts of seeds , cakes , < fcc , there was not much passing to-day .

      LOSDOS SMITnFlELD CATTtK . MARKET , MOKDAY . ArniL 14 . —In the past week the imports of live stock from abroad have consisted of about fifty oxen and cows , by steamers , from Rotterdam . These arrivals having proved of very superior qualityalthough some of them were slightly affected with the prevailing _epidemi-3—they have commanded a steady inquiry , at improved currencies , some of them having changed hands at £ 29 . per head . To-day we had on sale only ten foreign beasts , the above importations being mostly disposed of on Friday last . Fresh up from our own counties , only moderate time-ofyear supplies of beasts came to hand to-day—there being about 200 lesson offer than on tliis day se ' nnight —while a decided falling off was apparent in their general Quality . The dead markets beine well cleared

      of tlieir late arrivals , and the attendance of both town and country buyers numerous , the beef trade was somewhat active , at an improvement in the currencies obtained on Monday last of 2 dper 81 b—the primest Scots readily producing 4 s to 4 s 2 d per 81 b , at which a good clearance was effected . From Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire we received about 1600 Scots , and homebreds ; while the receipts from the northern grazing districts amounted to 200 short-horns ; from the western and midland counties 400 Herefords , rants , Devons , «& c . ; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 90 horned and poled Scots ; the remainder ofthe bullock supply being chiefly derived from the neighbourhood ofthe metropolis . The numbers of sheep were moderately : extensire _, yet a scarcity of really

      prime old Uowns was noticed . The mutton trade was , on the whole _> active , at an enhancement on last week ' s figures of 2 d per 81 b , the primest old Downs realising 4 s Sd per 81 b . From the Isle of Wight , 76 lambs came fresh to hand per railway : while , from other quarters , the receipts were moderate . The Iamb trade was-firm , at prices fully equal to those obtained on Friday . The supply of calves was small , yet the veal trade was dull at barel y stationary prices .

      HEAD OF CATTLE ON SALE . ( From the Books ofthe Clerk ofthe Market . ) Beasts , 2 , _796-Sheep and Lambs , 27 , 730—Calves , 92—Pigs , 317 . British and Foreign Wool Market , April 14 . — The imports of wool into London , in the past week , have been gmall . In the private contract market only a limited business has been transacted in foreign wools , yet prices have been steadily supported . For English qualities there is more inquiry , at fully previous currencies ; no sales are yet announced . ' Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , April 12 . —The flour trade , since our last report , has continued in a state of inactivity , as previously noted , so little business having transpired in that article as to render quotations altogether nominal . A moderate

      consumptive demand has been experienced tor both oats and oatmeal , without change in prices . At our market this morning wheat was in extremely limited request , but we cannot vary our previous quotations . In flour there was very little passing , and we must again note prices nominal . With a stead y demand for oats and oatmeal , the value of each was fully maintained . Nochange can be reported in beans . Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , April 14 . - _~ There have been good supplies of British wheat , oats , flour , and oatmcaf this week , but of foreign produce only two cargoes of Egyptian beans and one of Dutch oats arc reported . We are yet unable to report any thing like activity in the corn trade . The demand for wheat has been quite limited , and all descriptions have given way in value Id to 2 d per bushel since this

      day se nnight . Sack hour , with a dull sale , has declined 6 d to Is per sack . Oats aiid oatmealhave each been held with more firmness ; 'fair Irish mealing _oata have _comma-flded 2 s lldj and fine Scotch 3 s 3 d to 3 s 4 d per 45 lbs . There is no alteration to observe in the . value of either barley , beans , or peas . Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , April 14 . — The supply of cattle at market to-day was smaller than last week , the greatest portion of which was sold at an advance iri price . Beef 5 _$ d . to 0 d . ; mutton Od . to Oid . per lb . —Cattle imported into Liverpool , from the 7 th " tothe 14 th April : —1584 cows , 6 calves , 3045 sheep , 242 lambs , 10 , 117 pigs , 16 horses . Leeds Cloth Markets . —Goods of a fine and middle quality continue in demand , but the manufacturers still complain that prices are scarcel y remunerative , owing to the high price of wool , which can scarcely be expected to be lower until a supply of new

      comes to market . On the whole , the markets can hardly ; be considered average ones for the season , but perhaps ' this may be partly attributable to the unsettled state ofthe weather . Leeds Corn Market , Tuesday , April 15 . —We have moderate arrivals of all grain this week , and there is an indifferent show of wheat for this day ' s market ; the trade is nevertheless very dull , the demand is quite inactive , aud last week ' s rates a » e barely supported . Barley continues exceedingly dull , but in prices there is not much variation . Oats come sparingly to hand , and make full prices . " Beans are also firni in value , and in fair request . York Corn Market , April 12 . —We have had a fair supply of all grain tb this day ' s market . Wheat met a dull sale , at last week ' s prices . Barley was in demand , at rather less money . Oats . and beans aa before . _"'* . _„' ¦ *'
