AFFAIRS OF SWITZERLAND . "^ matter las t week compelled us to withhold Press w . on fo-eign affairs : we now return our " ^ i & on of the present state of things in S ^ ^ ample details in our last of the invasion - 7 iSaie by the liberal refugees belonging to that Ann anted by the volunteers from Argau , Berne , ^ Lucerne is situated nearly in the centre of c-taerland , and its position appeared to point out * ^» canton asthe natural battle-field of the two great rfips which divide the Confederation . Lucerne is , * fect at one of the extremities of the lake of the / nr cantons , on the borders of which , are situated rte nrimitiTc cantons of TJnterwald , Hri , and « £ fcWriz . To the north of these is the Catholic
cann on of 2 ng . Lucerne , therefore , on the east touches die canto 03 most in favour of the Jesuits , and the jafce of the four cantons offers it a direct and easy "ommnnication with them , enabling the Lucernese * o obtain their aid at very short notice . On the * e = i , Lucerne , on the contrary , adjoins the cantons Bost strongly in favour of the liberal side , and which ne ~ ' w the " following order round her frontiers : — jb _&» , Bssfe { country ) , Soienre , and Berne . Lastly , Mween the canton of Zng and that of Argau , to the ror of Lucerne , is the directing canton of Zurich lavs placed between its allies on one side , and its - >_ 7 ersaries on the other , Lucerne became the necesrv battle-field for both parties .
^ The invasion of Lneerne is to be deplored for more reasons than those associated with its sanguinary 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 , and took the most effective steps they could have taken to gain for the attacked Lucernese the sympathies of neutral parties . The Government of Lucerne may be a vile despotism : but to effect a reform thereof by the hostile action of the "free hands " of other states , was only calculated to make matters worse , by risking tie involvment of the entire confederation in the horrors of civil war .
Still , much may be nrgedm extenuation of the wmdnctofiieAi ^ viaj i and lkmeseBadicals . For { awtflS past , ihe Jesuit party in Lucerne have pursued the Liberals with a bigotted and cruel intolerance . Persecution has been the order of the day ; aid hnndredsof the Liberals werethrowninto prison , or compelled to seek safety by flight . Sympathy for ihe nnfortnnate refugees , aided by a very natural disgust at the worse than useless proceedings of the iatraordmary Diet , and the indignation necessarily engendered by the insolent interference of the " great uowers , " caused the explosion on the part of the ' Radicals of the neighbouring cantons , the fatalissue m which our readers are already informed of .
Several causes combined to defeat the expedition . The refugees and volunteers numbered but from 4000 to -5000 men , opposed to a force of not less than 20 , 000 men . The invaders had to march fourteen leagues , and had to seize , by main force , all the important passages to enable them to reach Lucerne . They had to bivouack in the plains or upon hills covered with snow during two cold nights , while the troops opposed to them were sheltered and supplied with all the resources of a capital city . The expeditionary army knewthat their friends in the city were numerous ; but these could afford them no help , as they were disarmed—martial law proclaimed—and persons forbidden to appear in the streets , except singly , under pain of death . Left to its own proper
f ences , the Lucerne Government must have suctmnbed , hut they were aided by immense forces from Hri , Unterwalden , and other Catholic cantons . On the arrival of the Radicals before Lucerne , they found these forces , all fresh troops , brought by the steamers io Lucerne , arrayed against them , in addition to the forces they had expected to combat with . For was this all ; the expedition appears to liave become disjointed in its march , or , perhaps , for the accounts are by no means clear , was never runted . Notwithstanding these misfortunes the Liberals performed prodigies of valour . For three hours , it is arid , the victory was balanced , and the Jesuits only gained their dear-bought victory by the shedding of torrents of blood .
It was stated that the leader of the expedition , yi . OcnsENBEXN , was killed at the commencement of tie conflict ; thiS j however , has since been contradicted , and it is said that he has returned to Zopingen . It appears that he became separated from the bulk of his army , and re-crossed the frontier with bat few followers . The report that Br . Stegieh had been shot in cold blood by the government of Lucerne , has also been contradicted . Many acta of barbarity have been imputed to the Lucernese troops , which , for the sake of humanity , and the honour of ihe Swiss name , we grieve to record . Thereappears to have been a needless and highly criminal destruction of the lives of the unfortunate refugees , and
volunteers , when retreating towards the frontier . It has been stated that a number of the prisoners vrere butchered in cold blood , and that , but for the exertions of General Soskkbero to the contrary , a general massacre of these unfortunate men would have taken place . We trust tbatthese allegedassassinations may yet be disproved z but , if true , we are not surprised at them . When men stimulated by religious bigotry fight under the inspiration of the priests , there is no atrocity they will hesitate to perform . An instance of this savageism was lately given in the & w Zurich Gaszette , in which it was stated that at a . review of the landsturm in a district of the Catholic Canton of Fribnrs . the head baillie delivered an
address in which , he used the following sentences ;—" Those who are not for the Jesuits are against them Slid against our holy relig ion ; the faithful who meet inch , ought to rip them , up and finish them , and the Jesuit fathers accord to them absolution beforehand . !" Too accurately has the prediction of Colonel Luvihi , delivered by him in the Diet on the 28 th of February , been fulfilled : — "The Jesuits , " said he , " hadfeeen invited to Lucerne : and if the way was deluged with blood , and covered with dead—i j ihe cries of desolation pursued tfean w . their eourse , s _ dl would they persevere unless checked by the strong hand of power . " Alas for the human race , when Shelley ' s fearful description of thepast is but the faithful portraiture « f the present !
"Yes 1 have seen God ' s worshippers unsheatii The sword of his revenge , when grace descended , C-onfinning-all unnatural impulses , To sanctify their desolating deeds , And frantic priests wared the ill-omened cross O ' er the unhappy earth ; then shone the sun On showers of gore , from the upflasbing steel , * # # And Wood-red rainbows canopied the land . " The unhappy contest in Switzerland has afforded to the hired journalists of this country a fine opportunity of lauding despotism , and denouncing renub iicanism . As . a specimen of the falsehoods of these mendacious writers , we give the following extract ircmthe Juonana Herald .
The world is just now receiving some valuable instruc-= oa as to the comparative value of republican and mo-^ lrical institutions . All Europeis , and has long been , i = ihe undisturbed enjoyment-of a perfect freedom , . not < ah from international but from civil war , one state only « cepted , and that state happens to be the only state in iUro P which has preserved the republican form of go-• trnnient In Switzerland only are men armed against * = * other ; cutis Switzerland ihe fellow-citizens of the r siae republic are slaughtering one another with a vigour

nsings against , thedetestable , GHaiairsAithen the intriguesof "the" same ~ CmHSTmA ~ wheh ~ exiled ~ to France ; then the efforts of the rxdlitary dictator , EsPAMERo , to preserve the throne "intact ; " then tie butcheries perpetrated by Narvam , tae 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 ; conntry—have all been the work , or at . least have been perpetrated in the name of monarchy ; "In Switzerland only , " says 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 onl y exists by brute force ; that that Government is divided into 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 , "Could the question of right be determined in any of the other states of Europe only by an appeal to ike law of homicide ? " Why , the history of the world tells
that" Hitou ^ IC-S ? , SSd priests , and statesmen , wars arose . " "Wight makes rig ht'" is tue universal motto of kings . The " law of homicide" is the law" ty which they ride ; blood cements their thrones ; and without the sword the sceptre would be 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 , tnen there is too much reason to apprehend that France and Austria may attempt the fulfilment of their threats . The Tinies actually calls for this intervention , as the " 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 necessardy this would be the case ; for , as a matter of course , the inhabitants of Berne , Zurich , and the other Liberal can * tons , would rise en masse 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 Wood , would be the natural results of the threatened intervention . But the Times pants for intervention , because it fears , otherwise , "thetriumph of the 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
rinxippE . On the other side , Switzerland is too closely allied to Italy not to cause alarm to the suspicious tyrants of Austria , Sardinia , Naples , and Rome . The Swiss democracy must be not the less hateful to the Prussian despot ,, for the protection afforded by the cantons to ihe exiled German liberals . And of course , naturally and consistently , the Russian autocrat hates all that bears 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 of the others , because it instinctively dreads the progress of democratic principles . Moved by this spirit , the -tmesdenounces 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 this 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 cheek 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 : —
" For the heart and the mind , And the voice of mankind , Shall arise in communion—And who shall resist that proud union ? The time is past when swords subdued-3 Ian may die—the soul's renewM : Even in this low world of care Freedom ne ' er shaU want an heir ; Millions breathe but to inherit Her unconquerable spirit—Wben once more her bests assemble , Tyrants shall believe and tremble .

Field-Garden Operations, For The Week Co...
FIELD-GARDEN OPERATIONS , For the Week commencing Monday , April 2 dfft , 18 . 4 . [ Extracted from a Diaev of Actual Operations on five small farms on theestates of Mrs . Davies 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 Tyas , 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 Willingdon and Eastdean , « f
five acreseach , conducted byG . Cruttenden and Jehn Harris . Second . Two private farms , of five or six acres : one worked by Jesse Piper , the other by John Dumbrell—the former at -. astdean , the latter -at Jevington—all of them within a few miles of Eastbourne . Third . An industrial school farm at Slaithwaite . Fourth . Several private model farms near the sameplace . The consecutive operations in these reports will enable the curious reader : to compare the climate and agricultural value of the-south with the north « f England . The Diart is aided by "Notes and Obser vations" from the pen of Mr . Nowell , calculated fer the time and season , which we subjoin .
" The joy of these little ones -shall be continually in the hoped-for success of then ? labours ; their thoughts shall he turned away from what is evil te . that which is good . " Note . —TJie ^ cTiool farms ar & 'Cultivated by boys , who in return for three hours teaching in the morning give three hours of their labour in the afternoon for the master ' s benefit , xvhich renders the schools SE & F-- suppHnnxG . We believe that at Farnly Tyas sixsevenths ofithe produce of the school farm will he assigned to the boys , and on & seventh to the master , who - will wceiuc the usual school fees , help the hoys to cultivate their land , and teach ihem , in addition to reading , writing , & c to convert their produce into bacon , by attending to pig-keeping , which at Christmas may be divided , after paying rent and levy , ¦ amongst ihem . in proportion , to itlieir services , and be made thus indirectly to reach their parents ia < x way . the most grateful to tlieirfeelings . ]

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS . - Potatoe Pood . — Among other inorganic substances , the potatoe plant appears to be especially fond of potash , but soda being very much akin in many respecte , it may become the substitute of potash . ' The plant , doubtless , would prefer potash / but , if absent , will content itself with soda . These substances are contained in the artificial mixture below described ( No . 2 ) . Guano per Ache for Potatoes . —Guano also may be substituted , when really good , for -the manure of the farm-yard , in this crop . Mix well four or five cwt . of guano , after pounding it to the finest dust , with eight or ten times its bulk of wood-ash charcoal , peat charcoal , potash compost , or clay compost , and apply the mixture above the seed , interposing a slight thickness of earth , and coyer tip as usual . ;

Then add twenty bushels of wood-ash charcoal ; sulphate of soda * cwt . ; sulphate of magnesia , 4 cwt . ; sulphate of ammonia , 1 cwt . ; peat or saw-dust 1 ton ; coal tar , or gas ivater , 20 gallons ; work all well together . Thismixture , No . 1 , as well asthe guano , is placed above the seed , with only a thin layer of earth interposed , and covered with a moderate thickness of soil .

Turn the mixture well over , keep it drjr , 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 211 bs . 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 sandy sub-soil , Perfectly clean , and especially from couch grass . Fork the land over , going two spits deep , with a carrot fork , its prongs 16 inches long , a little flattened . Dig in plenty of good farm yard manure . Open drills with the hoe , 16 or 17 inches 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 tattle ;' . 'dry ' . in the inside . Put yonr seed into the bottle and scatter it out through the quill in proper quantity , within
and along the drills , which 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 its cultivation , is in the cleaning of it , by frequent hoeings between the rows . Treasure Trove , —bv Deep Dioorso in a Valley , on Beachy Head . —The excessive wet . of last whiter prevented the best farmers under , the Downs from preparing them stiff land , for Belgium carrot-seed befere 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 rains , many of which exceeded 5 lbs . weight . This enabled eighty sheep , —which would according to custom have , been sold , in the autumn to be fatted elsewhere , —to be kept . and
fatted at Biding on carrots and . other farm produce only ; and a pen of these sheep being- found the best at Hailshara 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 dry weather should again check the growth of turnips on the Downs . I must add , it was not only early sowing which gave this useful crop of carrots for sheep and oxen , which they thrive on better than on turnips , but having the 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-acre 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 io shovel from a heap ( previously well dressed ) , and thrown 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 farmers , even those that are termed intelligent , is to sow grain thicker upon poor ; soil than rich . This must be 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 the 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 far outstripped the same quantity of the richer soil in quantity and quality of produce . The soil was all on ah equal elevation , or nearly so ; was not too wet , or inwant of either a free current of air or acongenial 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 and mildew destroying two ; all run the same chance of destruction .
Vermin . —Many farmers are at a considerable expense in cleansing their lands from vermin , driving away and lulling crows , sparrows , < fec . It would be more to their advantage to send upon freshly ploughed ground a quantity of fowls , ducks , -or geese , who would consume the lame of insects , worms , grubs , slugs , and the seeds 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-wash ing , with a description and model of a bond for washing sheep , by Afr . '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
are salved . Mr . Boyd feund that sheep-farmers never washed theirsheep 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-washed , the water in the pond assumed the appearance of soap suds , when the rest of the rsheep were made to run across , and were twice dipped in their passage , by which it was found that the fleeces were completely freed from every kind of impurity , although stilLof a dusky hue ; this also was removed by causing them subsequently to swim across . a pool of Clearwater , by which the fleece was rendered of a pure white dolour . From repeated experience of the efficacy of this mode of washing , as admirably adapted for iflocks which have been salved
with the artificial yolk salve , the author strongly reoommends that a similar method should-be practised in . Seotland , instead of river washing , that is , merely swimming the sheep across a running stream or . gently flowing pool , which can shave little or no effect on the OTOol which has been salved with tallow or oil of any kind . For this purpose , he advises that every store farmer should construct a pond of a size corresponding to the extent of his flock , in a situation riot only « oavenient for collecting the flocks , but where it can she ] easily filled from some adjoining stream . It ^ metimes happens that , . owing to the nature of the soil in which the . ponds are constructed , and when animal or vegetable oils have been ased in salvine without being previously saponified , the
alkaline earth in solution with the water , and also that raised from the bottom , is hot 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 the evil may be remedied by mixing a quantity of fullers' earth with the water of the pond . During the operation of washing , it is necessary that a small Quantity of water should be kept running into the pond ^ to supply the place of what is carried off by the wo ' olofthe sheep which have 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 , « fcc ., and , after being dipped over head and ears , are assisted up the sloping ; bank .
They ought then to be allowed to stand Tor some time tiU 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 through 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 facilir tate the operation ; ' and if a quantity of urine ; ' the larger the better , . be thrown into it'theVmorniiig of the washing day ; it wilibe found toTforniy along with the fullers ' earth , ah admirable- solution : for extri-

catmg ^ u- snbstances-nsed 'in ? . smearing : ns-are ; of more than ordinary difficulty in getting discharged i * a j " 6606 - From numerous experiments the author finds , that a great advantage arises from the pond beingof small size , and the quantity of water consequently small—an effect owing to the increased temperature of the solution contained in the pond . He also recommends that a solution of soda-ash should be used as that commodit y 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 that if generally followed , the Scottish fleece would obtain a character for purity ; which , unfortunatelyi it-has not hitherto attained .

The mreigh . ' amvals consisted of a cargo of barlev from Ahtv ( ' ci , 'p , about 8000 qrs . of oats , ^ principally from Holland , laii'd a few beans and peas . At th is 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 otterinK .
The temperature has slightly risen of late , and during the last few days frequent showers have fallen , which " must prove very beneficial to tho 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 oh as 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
money must have been accepted . Malt was likewise difficult of disposal , and the turn cheaper . . The principal oat buyers acted with great caution , in ex-Dectation of further foreign arrivals ; factors we ' re - ¦ „ /"—lflSB firm , and needy purchasers had to pay neyeii „» .- — „ f 0 ( j COrn as onthisday quite as much monej » - -aliaed fully previous week .

London SMmiFrELD Cattle Market , Moxdav . ApkIl 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 epidemic—they have commanded a steady inquiry , at improved currencies , some of them haying changed hands at £ 20 . 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 less on offer than on this day , se ' nhight —while a decided falling off was apparent in ' . their general quality . The dead markets being well cleared
of their late arrivals , and the attendimceof hothtown and country buyers numerous , the beef trade "\ vaa somewhat active , at an improvement in the currencies obtained on Monday last of 2 dperSlb—the primest Scots readily producing 4 s to 4 s 2 d per . Slbi at which a good clearance was effected . : From Norr folk , Suffolk , Esseix , and Cambridgeshire we r eceived 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 , runts , Devons , &> c . ; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 90 horned and poled Scots ; the remainder of the
bullock supply being chiefly derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis . The numbers of sheep were moderately extensive , yet a scarcity of really prime old Downs was noticed .

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 consump * tive demand has been experienced for 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 quotation . ; ' In flour there was very little passing , and wc must againnote prices nominal . With a stead y demand for oats and oatmeal , ' the value of each was fully maintained . No change can be reported in beans . "¦ ' ¦' ¦ ¦ *' ' ' ¦' . Liverpool Corn Market , Mosuay , April . 14 . — There have been good supplies of British wheat , oats , flour , and oatmeal this week , but of foreign produce only two cargoes of Egyptian beans and one of Dutch oats are reported . We are yet unable to report anything like activity in the com trade . The demand for wheat has been quite limited , and all descriptlona have given way iu value Id to 2 d per bushel since this day se nnight . Sack flour , with a dull sale , has
declined Od to lsper sack , Oats and oatmeal have each been hekv-with more firmness ; fair Irish mealing ' oats have commanded 2 s lid , 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 , ' !

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 of the weather .,, . .
