      MEETING OF PARLIAMENT . Thb early how at which we are obliged to go to press with our first-edition , to enable us to get the Scotch papers to the respective agentB on Saturday morning , will prevent us from giving the Queen s speech in that fd-fcion . We have to print oa Thursday night , about the time the Queen wm be engaged in readiag the Ministerial lesson . Were we to wait till a report of the sayings and doings arrived at Leeds , we should miss the Scotch posts ,

      and our readers in that quarter would not reorave their papers till Monday morning . We regret this ; but have no alternative . Had we the ordering and timing of the mails , we fancy wo could manage to get to Glasgow in something less than a day and a half . This , however , does not come within onr province ; and we are obliged to 6 ubmit to the arrangements of others . Of course , we snail insert the proceedings connected with this " opening of Parliament" in our second and subsequent editions .

      XiEEDS . Oddpellowship . —Db . Hook . —It will be in the recollection of many of our readers , that in November last , the Rev . Dr . Hook was solicited by the members of the Leeds district of Independent Order of Odd Fellows , to preach a sermon in behalf of the General Infirmary and Dispensary . He willingly consented , appropriating the church for the admission of Oddfellows' only , when a collection was made for the above object , amounting to nearly £ 70 . So favourably impressed

      was the Rev . Doetor with the principles which govern and the motives wfcieh actuate thi 3 influential body , by perusing the rules , magazines , reports , fcc ., that on Monday evening last , he was duly initiated a . member of this Society , at one of the largest lodges in Leeds , held at the Brown Cow Inn , Meadow-lane . The number of members enrolled in this order in England , is about 200 , 000 , amongst which are upwards of 40 Members of Parliament , and numerous Clergymen and Dissenting ministers of ever / persuasion . The order is equally flourishing in America .

      LEED 3 IMPROVEMENT COMMISSIONERS . —An &djonrned special meeting of this body was held on Wednesday last , at which were present Justices Nell , Grace . Clapham , Hebden , Smith , and Stanafeld ; and Messrs . Hartley , Hobson , Ardill , Horatio Wood , Holroyd , Woodhead , Otiey , Dufton , Wilks , Pickard , Sellers , aad King . The only business of public importance was the presentation of a report from a select committee appointed to inquire into the steps taken by the late Board of Commissioners , in conjunction with the Magistrates and Town Council , in respect to a new Improvement Bill , the expenses incurred , the position of the newly elected Commissioners with respect 10 the same , and their power of expending the monies which accrue to them as Commissioners for any such purpose . The Committee , through their Chairman , gave in a lengthened and excellent report , in v / nich they went to the root of the matter , and

      plainly showed that the Commissioners had no right to exj > end ono singlo penny of the funds coming into their tand 3 as Commissioners , for any other purpose ihan those specifically set fwrth and named in the Act After the report bad been formaly received , and the Committee thanked for their able labours , the meeting was adjourned till four o ' clock on Friday afternoon , . to consider the game . Of course , it is impos £ sible to judga . what the decision of the Board may bo upon ; his matter , but we opine that if ihey take any other course than ihat pointed out and recommended by the committee , they will place themselves in the wrong . Bills to the amount of upwardsof £ 500 , have already been dtliveredin to the n- " : w commissioners by solicitors audsurreyors for services connected with the preparation of tbe new bill . These parties acted under orders given by the old Hoard of Commissioner ? , and if tbe law be such as is set forth in the report above named , these expences n » u ? t devolve individuals upon thosa who incurred

      them . Several of the old commissioners complain very londJy of tbe amount of the bills , and represent that several of the professional men employed were thrust upon them , as it were , by other parties , on the understanding that their services might be had for a mere bagatelle . It turned out , however , that more than £ 500 were charged for less than sixty days' work . Picking Pockets . On Monday last , John Turner , a travelling conveyancer , who said he came from Sheffield in eearch of employment , was charged before the magistrates at the Court Hou 3 e , wiih having picked the pocket ef Mrs . Isabella Sand ? , of St . James ' s-street , of a purse containing two halfcrowns , eleven shillings , and two sixpences . Mrs .

      Sands stated that on Saturday evening , she left her honse to mske markets , and whilst looking at some rabbits at tho top of Kirkgate , she felt somebody at her pocket ; she turned round , when the prisoner" was just drawing her puree with which he made off . She gave an alarm , and he was 6 cen to throw the purse away , and being pursued was apprehended by a policeman who was near . The purse , with its contents , was found all safe . He wished to make it out that there must be some mistake , but nnfortunately for him , the knowledge in possession of the police respecting him , rendered it very difficnlt for him tj establish anything like a character for ihonesty ; and he was committed to take bis trial .

      Dab . ij . -g Highway Robbery . —On Thursday evening week , a little before ten o ' clock , a most daring highway robbery , accompanied by violence , was committed on the Burley road , near this town . At the time above stated , Mr . William Thackray , an aged man , who besides in Burley Terrace , was returning home , after attending a meeting at Oxford Place Chapel ; he had arrived whhin two hundred yards of his own house , and was walking in the middle of the road , when ke was suddenly met by a man who knocked him down , and he fell with such terrible vio ' ence on his nead a 3 to render him totally insensible , and . unconscious of any subsequent proceedings towards him . He reached home some short time after , but it was nearly

      twelve o ' clock before he bo far regained his consciousness as to be aware of his real situation . His watch fob , which was turned out , attracted the attention of his danghter , who at first thought thai he had had a fit , and by degrees the pour old man was able to remember the manner in which he had been knocked down . He then discovered that in addition to his watch , he had been to ? bed of a pair of silver spectacles and case , a sovereign , 8 s . 6 d in silver , his keys , pencil , & . c . He is unabie to gain any description 01 the party who attacked him ; two men were apprehended on suspicion , but when they were before the magistrates , oa Monday , there was no evidence to connect them with the robbery , further than that they were seen within half a mile of the place on toe same night , they were consequently discharged .

      SHEFFIELD . ( From our own Correspondent . ^ Mr . Deas Taylor . —This talented advocate of Chartism visited Sheffield , agreeable to invitation , on Sunday last , and preached two sermons the same day in the National Charter Association room , Fig Tree-lane . Mr . T . gave universal satisfaction . In the afternoon a numerous audience was present , but in the evening the room was crowded to excess . Home Colonization . —On Sunday evening last , a crowded meetiDg assembled at the Hall of Science to liear , from Mr . G . A . Fleming , one of the deputation from the Short Time Committee , that lately waited upon the present Administration in behalf of the factory slaves of this country , a leciura on free trade , machinery , emigration , and home colonization . Mr . Fiemmg began by replying to an attack

      on the Short Time Deputation , which appeared in the Sheffield Independent , of Saturday , the 15 th day of January . After administering a caustic dose to thi 3 miserable organ of fallen Whiggery , he proceeded to descant with great force on machinery , its nature , use , and tffects . He next powerfully refuted the ridicmou 3 errors of Emigrationists —the absurd fallacies of Free Traders , and strange mistakes of Corn Law Repealers . A development of the principles and plans of Home Colonization , together with a defence of the Short Time Reports , were subjects which formed the concluding parte . The matter of many lectures was condensed into one of more than usual force and effect , which occupied more than two hours in delivery , so that it would be difficult to give even a brief sketch . A short discussion followed .

      Chabtist Lectdbe . —Mr . Dean Taylor delivered a lecture on Chartism , in the Chartist Room , Figtree-lane , on Monday evening .

      PUBLIC MEETING FOK THE RELIEF OF THE POOR . —ASSEKTION fOF CHABTIST PRINCIPLES . Ltst week large placards announced a public meeting , to be held at the Town Hall , at twelve o ' clock on Tuesday last , to consider the propriety of making a public subscription for the relief of the poor of the town , the meeting being called by the Cutlers'Company , tbe Town Trustees , and Church burgesses . The placards also intimated that in anticipation of the said subscription , one thousand shilling loaves would be given to all poor women above forty years of age , applying for the same . Tuesday arrived , and instead of ' one thousand , some three or four thou&rnd applicants thronged the

      Untitled Article

      neighbourhood of the Cutlers' Hall , seeking the " big loaves . " Of course , two-thirds at Least of the starving unfortunates returned to their homes unblessed by the miserable fraction of so-called charity doled out to their more fortunate neighbours . Some time after twelve o ' clock , the public were admitted into the Hall . On the platform were the Master Cutler , Thomas Asline Ward , Esq ., Mr . Moatgomery , the poet , the Rev . Thomas Sutton , Vieaar of Sheffield , the Rev . Thomas Best , the Rev , — - € ibaon , the Rev . John M'Lean . Senior , Master ofthe W « sleyan College ; — Fisher , Esq ., fce ., &e ., & . o .

      On the motion of T . A , Ward , Esq ., the Master Cutler was called to the chair . The Chaibman read the placard calling the meeting ; and , after a few common-place observations , made way for Thomas AsLims Wah » , Esq ., who moved the first resolution , which was in substance to the rffeot —That , instead of the usual rejoicings , a public subscription be entered into for the relief of the poor of the town , upon this , the occasion of the christening of the infant prince . In support of his resolution , Mr . Ward delivered a brief addreBs , feeling and sensible , deploring the distress existing in the town , and dwelling upon the propriety of the course recommended . Far better was it that the rich should give up some of their superfluities for the benefit of their poorer brethren , than that money should be wasted in useless and idle follies .

      Mr . Ward , who is a gentleman warmly respected by the working classes , was listened to with silence and attention throughout his address . The Rev . Thomas Best seconded the resolution . The resolution was carried unanimously . The Rev . Thomas Sotton moved the second resolution , which set forth that a subscription be now entered into , and that certain parties named in the resolution be appointed to receive the same . The Rev . Gentleman read some lengthy extracts from Hume , the historian , commendatory of the character of Edward the Sixth . His prayer was that the infant Prince might be as great a blessing to this country as his predecessor Edward the Sixth . ( Laughter . )

      Mr . Montgomebt seconded the resolution . This was a day the Lord had made . His prayer was that the infant Prince mi ^ ht become the most illustrious of monarchs . ( Laughter . ) The speaker went on to say that he trusted the character of the young Prince would in future years be that given by the psalmist—** He shall judge the poor of the people , he shall save the children of the needy , and shall break in pieces the oppressor . " ( Loud cheers from the people . ) The resolution was carried unanimously . The Rev . J . M'Lean moved the 3 rd resolution , which simply named the committee . Ha gave £ 3 as the contribution of his scholars , and favoured the meeting with a short address , showing his exuberant loyalty . The resolution was seconded and about beiDg put , when

      Mr . Babker who spoke from the gallery , paid he had a few remarks to offer before the resolution was put . ( Cheers . ) If thcra was any mode more unexceptionable than another , by which to celebrate the birth of a prince , he considered the mode adopted to-day was that one : still ho must question the propriety of at all celebrating such event in the present state of < ho country , when thousands of tho toiling people of this land are absolutely famishing and perishing of hunger—such a time he considered no time to rejoice at the birth of a new burden . ( Groat uproar from the parsons and loud cheers from the people . ) A scene of confusion now ensued , several of the black-coats , " rising to order . " Mr . Barker , however , wai not to bo put down and endeavoured to continue his address—the parsons stamped and shouted , the people by turns gryanes the parsons and cheered Mr . Barker .

      In the the midst of the confusiou , M'Lean exclaimed , Wo have not come here to hear the principles of— " the termination of the sentence was lost amidst the fearful volley of groans that greeted his interference . The storm having lulled for a moment , The Rev . T . Best with great pomposity , asked Mr . Barker if he thought they would sit thereto hear the Government and state insulted ? ( Groans . ) Mr . Babkeb , said he spoke not of the state or the Government , what he was about to say , was , that in the present deplorable state of the country to talk of celebrating the birth of another royal cormorant , appeared to him to be the climax ofabsurdity . This was followed by great confusion , in the midst of

      which the Master Cutler , tho parsons , and the greater part of tha" respectables" made a hasty retreat , followed by a tremendous storm of groans and hisses . Cries of " a chairman" noiv resounded through the hail , and Mr . Otley was called to the chair , which he took amidst the cheers ofthe meeting . Mr . Otley said when he entered the hall that day he had no thought he would be calledup \ n to fill the chair , bo unceremoniously vacated by the Master Cutler ; the proceedings of this meeting showed that the day of mummery was gone by in this country ; what a mockery it was for tho parties who called this meeting to profe . s charity , and show it by ^ ivinK the people a shilling ' s worth back of the plunder they took from them . ( Cheers . ) The Vicar hail dwelt largely upon the virtues of Edward the 6 th . he forgot to narrate the hideous vices of those monsters of iniquity , Henry the 8 lh , and George the 4 : h .

      After some other remarks , Mr . Otley made way for Mr . Barker , who resumed ; he regretted the n glu ofthe parsons and gentlemen , because he wished to have told them a few truths they are not in the habit of hearing . What was the use , he would ask , of what service to the state , was a Queen Victoria , . ** Prince Albert , or their two infants ? ( Cheers . ) True the Prince had laid the first atone of tlie Royal Exchange a few days back , the first useful thing he had done in his life , though even the usefulness of that might be questioned . Mr . Barker went on to quote , from tho old history of England , some of tho doings of our monarchs and aristocrats in by-gone days ; coming to our own times , Mr . B . showed up the profligacy of tjhe fourth George , and concluded with an eloquent defence of the principles of democracy . Mr . Barker concluded by moving the adoption ofthe following resolution : —

      " That it is the opinion of this meeting , that the best way to honour the Prince is by relieving the wants of the people , yet they will not see principle sacrificed under any pretence of charity , nor sanction the acts of her Majesty or her Ministers until the wrongs of the people are redressed , and the franchise extended to the whole of the male adult population . " Mr . Gill , in a few remarks , seconded the resolution . Mr . Harney who was loudly cheered oncoming forward , said , he too regretted the retreat of the black-coated loyalists—what a , farce was it to be giving a shilling loaf to a thousand of the poor aud destitute , while these same poor had been robbed of

      three-fourths of the wealth produced by theai every year of their existence that they had laboured ; out of every pound produced by the working man , it had been shown that he was plundered of 15 s . 6 d . ; what h-ypocrisy then was it to come before the people and making a parade of their benevolence give to some of tho most destitute a paltry Is . in the shape of a loaf . Ha would just show them how many shilling loaves were swailowed per day by a few of the royal and o-her cormorants of the state : —Our mobt gracious Queen appropriated to her own use per day £ 164 7 s lOd ; that is , she swallowed every day nearly three thousand , two hundred , and eighty-eight shilling loaves per day ; prince Albert Bwallowed two thousand and eghty-two shilling loaves per

      day ; the King of Hanover swallowed one thousand , one hundred and fifty shilling loaves per day ; the King of Belgium , two thousand , one hundred and furty shilling loaves per day ; the Duch 83 of Kent , one thousand , seven hundred and fifty-three shilling loaves ; the head ofthe Christian Church , his Grace , the Archbishop of Canterbury , swallowed one thousand and fifty shilling loaves per day ; while so capacious was the stomach of her Majecty , Queen Adelaide , that she swallowed five , thousand , four hundred , aud eighty shilling loaves per day . ( Roars of laughter . ) But the present accursed system was fast comiDg to a close . ( Cheers . ) One word of warning he would whisper

      in the ears of the loyalists ; tha people were bent upon having tneir rights—the people were no longer to be gulled by the pretended charity of those plunderers—it was not charity they wanted , is was justice ; and that justice they were determined to obtain ; they had set their hands to the plough , aud would not turnback ; no , they wtre resolved , despite Whig humbug , and Tory cajolery , to make the Charter tbe law of the land . ( Great cheering . ) Whatever difference might exiit among themselves , happy was he to see that when the oommon enemy appeared , they met them to a man . ( Enthusiastic cheering . )

      The resolution was then put , and unanimously carried . Thanks having been voted to the Chairman , the meeting dissolved . ¦

      - " ¦^ ' ' ^ ————BRIGHTON . —The work goes on bravely ; accounts of the most pleasing nature are daily being received . Chichester has at length come out , ana most manfully . A meeting waa recently called to consider the best way of celebrating the christening ofthe Prince of Wales . Things went on in true aristocratic style until Mr , Gray , clothier , made his appearance ; he proposed an amendment to the resolution of * he aristocrats , to the effect that a petition should be sent to tfce House of Commons , praying them "to take into consideration the state of the

      country , and to pass a law for enfranchising the whole people of the United Kingdom . " Mr . Gray was supported by a numerous body of working men , and , after a great deal of manoeuvring , the mayor , finding that at least six to one of the meeting were in favour of Mr . Gray ' s amendment , to his great discredit and disgrace , advised by a Mr . Freelaad , steward to the Duke of Richmond , dissolved the meeting . The working men gave three heartycheers for Mr . Gray , which were repeated again for toe Chtxter . and quietly dispersed to their homes .

      HUDDBRSFJEliD .- —Daring Robbbrt . — Last week a small butcher's shop , adjoining the Dog Inn , Kirkgate , waa forcibly opened , and one half of a sheep taken therefrom . Several suspicious characters were seen lurking about the place early in the evening ; yet , no one thought they were intend- ' ing to commit an outrage in so public a thoroughfare however , they broke into the above shop at the early hoar of nine o ' clock , and got clear off with their booty . The alarm was given nearly on the instant ; the wateh and police were immediately on the look

      out ; shortly after , information was received that some mutton was tying under a wall , near to the canal , inclining to Folly HalL The police re ^ paired to the spot and secreted themselves ; shortly after three men approached , one took the mutton , and was Boon secured , the other two escaped for the night , bat being known were captured next morning , and on the premises were found a quantity of picklocks , that are supposed to have been lately stolen from a locksmith ; also a pistol and a quantity of lucifer matohes . They were brought before the magistrates on Saturday , and committed to Wakefield for trial .

      BRIGHTON . —Who Stopped the Ciocki—The good people of Brighton have recently been amused by an affair of no very creditable character to their reverend Vicar and his tools , the churchwardens . Some three months since , a vestry meeting of the inhabitants was held to pass the accounts of the church wardens ; but the vestry , finding thai the accounts were kept in a most slovenly mannerfinding that out of rates collected for the repairs of the church a sum of £ 20 was charged for grog ! and , finding , on further investigating the accounts that some seven or eight hundred pounds were unaccounted foT y the meeting adopted without one dissentient voice strong and detemined resolutions not to paaa tho accounts . Matters did not end here .

      Tiie churchwardens , backed by the Vicar , called another vestry meeting , to pass the accounts , and to make another church rate . The parish were up in arms . Polling of the rate-payers was carried on for three days for and against passing the accounts , and for and against making any further rate A majority was declared against passing the accounts and against making any turtbor rate to the number of upwards of 300 . Thus things stood . But it was aot over . They were determined to be revenged on the parish , and to do that they hit upon the scheme of stopping the parish clock of St . Peters . Soon were they met by cries both far and near of ' . " Who stopped the clock ! " This cry has gone through the parish for these two months past , and last week it

      was brought to an issue , by this very reverend lowly follower of Jesus , this charitable Vicar , having beea brought before a Court of Magistrates for horsewhippinK a child seven ye ars of age ; It appears that as the Reverend Vicar was passing on horseback , the Cry was raised by some one in the street . " Who stopped the clock 1 " This hid such an effect upon the Reverend Gentleman , that he knew not whither to go—the Cry was continued by many , The . child , child-like , took up the cry , and mimicked out , " Who stopped the clock V' and rah off home . The Vicar pursues this child home , dismounts from his horse , bursts open the door of a room in which the little boy had fastened himself , and then in the presence of the child's mother , who

      was completely frightened , with his riding whip , cut the poor lUtle fellow over face aud eyes , by repeated blows ; Not . joontent , ^ he took the child to the door to show tho the crowd . But herein he seems to have made a mistake , for if he had not speedily mounted his horse , the people who had congregated together would have inflicted summary punishment upon him , which he deserved . When the boy ' s fath' -r camehome he took him to the vicarage , but was denied admittance ; he then appealed to theruagistratea , who granted a summons , after a great deal of reluctance , against the Rev . Gentleman , which came on for hearing on Thursday , Jan . 20 th , at the Town Hall , Brighton ; and after examination and cross-examination , with the assistance of two of the big wig tribe to boot

      the very Reverend Gentleman was convicted , and fined 40 a . and costs . -Such is the end of the clock tale , but not the end of the vicar ; for , on Sunday afternoon , after preaching at St . Peter ' e , in passing homewards through Regent-street , he was unfortunately- recogniaed—a crowd collected—the cry was again raised , " Who stopped the clock ?" This time he had to ftyV followed by the crowd , shouting their war cry , " Who stopped the clock ?" mud fly ing in all directions , the steam was up , when luckily for the vicar , a policeman appeared , the crowd dispersed ; the ' blue bottle' vanished : again they came up with the Rev . Gentleman , and again they raised their cry , . ' ¦ * Who stopped the clock ? " The vicar made a bolt through the New Road , and up North-street to the vicarage , covered with mud as well as the execrations and detestations of kis flock . The Vicar and churchwardens , considering the ill-dozen they have got into , hoping ,

      doubtless , to allay a little of the feeling that exists— -to calm a little the disturbed waters of Brighton ; and a regular " nor-wester" blew oh Monday sight , in celebration of the christening of the young Pnnce , decided to " set the dock agoing , "' and on Tuesday morning the people of Brighton were gratified again to hear the sound of that clock , on which so much of their money had been expeuded . A lesson , we trust , has been taught to Vicars and ignorant conceited Churchwarden , that there are bounds to which they may play with the feelings of neighbours friends—that the pit they dig for others they may fall into themselves . The parish has triumphed over the toadies ol an overbearing priest ; and we urge on the rate-payers to be prepared for a great moral contest at taster next , when they may , if they choose , appoint officers of their parisn who will treat the opinions of the rate-payers With deference and respect , and prove that they are servants and not masters of the parish .

      We have just received the following from Mr . O'Connor , for our second edition : — I had this moment sat down in the Golden Cross , Charing-cross , to say a word or two in time for your second edition , and had no sooner taken up my pen than I was surprised by a treinendous peal of bells from St ; Martin ' s Chuiroh , which was followed by a general rush to doors and windows . Upon enquiring the cause , I learned that the Lord Mayor and Council were : on their way to pay their respects the King of Prussia . ; I thought at first that the joyous sound' was in consequence of some new light having flashed across our " tiedven-bdrn Minister " and by which all the naked were to be olad and all the hungry fed .

      Well , I rah out just to see the pomp which thus mocked honest poverty aud pandered to monarchy , and such a set of carriages I never saw , some gingerbread , some very handsome , and tho pick and choice of all the stands , and such a set of tallowfaced idlers as they contained hd mortal eye ever beheld—the outpouring of the Stock Exchangethe swarming of the lice on the poor beetle ' s back ; but what was most strange of all was , that a policeman held the handle of each carriage , and in order to give a good MORAL effect to the pageant , the whole tribe of blue-bottles was picked , for certainly I never saw so many men above six feet high together , coming from the working classes . They formed a great contrast for colour , stature , bone , aud sinew , when compared with the idl «

      Hull Corn Market , Tuesday , Feb . 1 . —The same dullness—the same want of demand that we have had to report so many previous weeks , continued to hang over the corn trader indeed so tr . fling have been the business transactions during the past week , that the quotations may be considered aa almost nominal . There is a total absence of speculation , and the consumptive demand for wheat here is confined to- so narrow a compass , that it is fully met by the weekly supply from' the farmers round this neighbourhood ; tke same remarks apply to . all spring corn . In bonded grain nothing doing . The market to-day has been fairly supplied with farmere ' wheat , the best dry samples of which were

      taken b y the millers at fully last week ' s prices , any descrip \ ion below this quality bad to quit ; a many of the samples offerini ? are only in middling conditioni owing to the change in the weather , tne frost having again disappeared , For . old foreign no demand . ; There is a good suppl y of oats to-day , for which last week's prices are paid . In beans or peas bo alteration in value or demand . The best runs of malting barley are rather dearer , and are offered plentifully ; second and grinding are very dull , although low prices are submitted to . London Corn Market , Jan . 31 . —There was a limited supply of Wheat from Essex and Suffolk this morniug , but a fair quancity of Barley from

      these counties , and of beaus and Peas from Essex and Kent , with five cargoes of Irish Oats in since Friday , but riot many vessels with any grain from more distaiic parts of our own coast . Tiierehave been good imports of foreign Wneat , but those of other articles were of trifling extent . Since this day week , the weather has been very variable , rain , snow , frost , and thaw , accompanied with gales of wind , but mow it is more moderate and mild for the season . Although the supply of Eaglish Wheat was so limited , yet the trade was very dull , and only the best dry inferior parcels must be quoted rather cheaper again . The business transacted in Foreign Wheat was of a retail nature , without any

      material change in the value of this description . Tne Flour trade was dull , and good marks ex-ship purchaseable on lower terms . Fine Malting Barley realised the rates of last Monday , and such met a fair demand * but all other qualities were taken slowly , " without , howaver , any material variation in priije . Bean 3 and Peas met a limited sale , good samples cannot , hoWever , be quoted loweir , ^ here was a slow demaftd tot Oats , the large dealers waiting for the expecied Irish supplies , for although these , the greater part of the season , have lost

      money , etill , from a fear that the article will not continue to be so well protected with new as under the present laws , they are disposed to ship freely , and it is reported many are on passage for this port ; the demand was therefore mostly confined to the consumers , who bought good English on easier terms , whilst Irish were o'd to Is per quarter cheaper .
