The advance, however, was not sustained. On the next market day at Mark-lane, London, prices had a downward tendency. Since that date large arrivals of foreign corn, and the depressed state of the money market, have thrown a gloom over the London and Liverpool Corn Exchange, and prices have fallen to and below the currency noted in our last. Yesterday, at Mark-lane, the previous prices of last week were asked, but before sales could be effected a decline of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter was subinitted to by thesellers.

The gentlemen form- ing the deputation arrived on Saturday evening, and on Wednesday were accorded an interview with Sir W. Somerville, having been written to previously by the Rev. Mr. Enright. The rev. gentleman stated that the district which the deputation represented contained a population of 21,000, three-fifths of which were in abso-. lute want, one-fifth in a struggling state between exist- ence and want, and only one-fifth really able to main- selves comfortably.
