Rates close unsettled but with a downward tendency. Butter_—All descriptions have been moving very slowly and the market closes dull and uneettied. Early in the week some 1.000 kegs Glades cold at 43a44 cents in running lots, and at 44245 for prime and ehoice dairies. New York State we quote at 44045 cents, as to quali- ty.

Grain—Red Wheat and Rye have been main- tained at previous rates, but white Wheat, Corn and Oats have ruled lower, closing heavy.

Tobacco—A very fair business has been done in Maryland Leat at previous rates, sales com- rising some 350 hhds. common frosted to prime Town at $3 to $17 per 100 ibe. At the close ‘We notice more disposition on the part of hold- ers to meet the views of buyers. Transactions in Ohio Tobacco have been unimportant and the market closes dull and heavy.

T. G. Pratt and Daniel Clarke, Trustees for thesale of the Home Place, called “Pleasant Prospect,” and by Messrs. Richard B. B. Chew and Danie! Clarke, Trustees for the sale of the resi- due of the realestate of the deceased. The Home Place, “Pleasant Prospect,” supposed to contain 575 acres, was disposed of at $15 per acre, and was purchased by Thomas R. Wil- son, Esq., of Washington City. The other two tracts were withdrawn—only’812 for the wood and SIl per acre for the cleared land being offered. We learn that the ratification of the sale of the first named tract will be contested before the Court. Mr. Thomas Talbert, (of E.,) disposed of his farm, situated in Surratt’s District, on Friday, the 2th instant, for the sum of $19,000.

Manassas Gar RAILroap,—The Shenan- doah Herald speaking of the Manassas Gs Railroad, says that the President of the Com- pany, in a recent conversation, had no definite information on the subject. A good deal of difficulty had been realizs in getting the Proper authority to take suck action as would restore to the company the iron taken from the Toad, shortly after the commencement of the war, by the military authorities, and used upon other roads. If this iron could gotten back, itis probable that, in the course of a few months, the road would be repaired and the cars put upon it. This factand the additional circumstance, that there are heavy pecuniary liabilities hanging over the company, will ex- plain the reason why the road remains as it is Sale aT THE WaTERVLIET ARSENAL—On Tuesday a large quantity of war material was sold at the Watervliet Arsenal, at auction. The sale was tolerably well attended. Cannons and caisons, muskets, and pistols, old rifle barrels, and even screw-drivers, were disposed of to the highest bidder, upon terms that were little better than “dog cheap.” Buyers from New York took the largest amount of stock, Whether for the Fenians or tne Republic of Mexico, the: isely kept to themselyes.

The Standard speaks of Mr. Beecher “asa caution and even timid man, accustomed to keep well in the rear of advanced opinions, a weathercock rather than a polar star,” and by this description it hopes to be able to weaken his influence. In- = of effecting this, it may possibly impair its own. ee eee Noro Ki1LEp.—Mr. Joseph Parker, of Sus- sex county, while out huuting one day last Week, was forced to kill a colored man jn self defence. He was visiting some traps in the woods, had bent over one of them, when he heard a cap burst, and rising, saw a negro ap- pee with a pistol in his hand.
