(Reportedeoclusively for "THE PEEEs.") 24 341 54 13 4 CORN-EXCHANGE—Since our last report the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, have been on a very moderate scale. The aemand, however, for moat kinds has ruled inactive, at last week's quotations. There has been a slow inquiry for foreign wheat—the imports of which have been small—yet prices have ruled firm. Floating cargoes have realised extreme rates, but the demand for them has been less active. Barley has come slowly to hand, yet, as numerous parcels have been offered for forward delivery, the trade has been heavy, ana all kinds except the finest malting parcels have given way from is to 2s per quarter. There has been an active inquiry for malt, on higher terms. The oat trade has been healthy, and prices have had an upward tendency. Several parcels have been taken by the French Government for ship ment to the Crimea. Beans, peas, and flour have been in mode rate supply and steady request, on former terms.

THE GRAND ELEUSIAIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in Twelve Acts, with ever-changing variety of inci dents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. MAGIC and MYSTERY is an entirely new entertainment, possessing distinctive characteristics and peculiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience themselves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others in front; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors, no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the company—a melodrama, replete with startling positions and unexpected denouements— a magnificent spectacle, with two thousand of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries—and an extravaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability.
