COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LutNIC.—(TBID3 DAY.)
Only a moderate supply of legllls wheat was received
fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land•ca s, whilst the
general quality of the samples was very middling Good
and fine qualities were disposed of at prices equal 'to Mon-
day but. All other kin& were very dull, at barely late
rates.
The show of foreign wheat was about an average. For
all kinds the demand was in a sluggish state ; nevertheless,
the rates current on this day se'nnight were supported.
Only a moderate supply of both English and foreign
barley was on sale ; yet all kihds moved off slowly, at last

week's currency.
We have to report a dull sale for malt, on former terms.
The supply was seasonably good. With oats we were but
moderately supplied. On the whole the oat trade was firm,

The arrivals of floating cargoes of grain off coast have bees

somewhat restricted. Prices, however, are without material
change from the previous weak. (Mirka, 41s. to 45e. ;

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
(THIS DAY.)
We have a much smaller supply of boast' than on
Monday last. The trade is slow owing to a large supply at the
dead markets, but choice qualities are readily disposed of at
fully late rates. The number of sheep is quite an average
for the time of year. Beat qualities realise full prices, but
inferior are with difficulty disposed of. Calve@ are very
scarce, and consequently dearer. From Germany and Hol-
land there are 990 bemire, 5,420 sheep, 65 calves, and 851
pigs. France, 105 beasts ; Scotland, 803 ; Ireland, 300 ;
Norfolk and Suffolk, 400 ; and 1,720 for the northern and
midland counties.

RESUMPTION OF BUILDING OPERATIONS.--(THIS
DAT.)—The works which were suspended in eOnnaqn•noB
of the severity of the weather, and by which some thou-
sands of mechanics and labourers were thrown out of
employment were resumed this morning. The large works
that have been re-commenced include those of the Thames
Embankment, Blaokfriers New Bridge, the new Govern-
ment Of end several private buildings in the City and
at the West-end. Some hundreds of workmen are engaged
in repairing the wires of the telegraph companies which
were damaged by the meet storm.
A SINGULAR MARRIAGE.—It in an old, and no
less a trite saying. that truth is stranger than fiction, and I
the maxim was illustrated by a somewhat ill-assorted
marriage which took place on Thursday last between a
widow, who his seen nearly three score summers. and a
stripling of about 24. The lady. who resides in a fashion.
able suburb at the south end of Liverpool, is a widow of
highly respectable connexions, and has nine children,
most of whom have arrived at the age of maturity.
As we have already stated, Thursday last was fixed
upon for the nuptials, but about half an hour before the
time when the parties were to repair to church, a hearse,
containing a coffin, together with three mourning coaches,
were driven up to the lady's residence. A knock at the
door was answered, when the parties in charge of the
hearse proceeded to deliver the coffin, which they stated
was for the dead body of Mrs. —. They were, however,
informed that she was not dead, sad the appearance of
Mrs. herself, who was then dressing, in order to pro-
osed to chunk for the wedding, testified to the feat
. that she was neither dead nor in artictdo mortis. The
parties, however, demanded the charges, amounting to 25d..
and, as a deagresable crowd was collecting, the money was
paid, and the coffin having been replaced in the beam, the
sombre conveyance moved off. In less than half an hoes
after their departure a train of gaily decorated wedding
carriages wart driven up to the door, sad the supposed dead
widow was driven off to church, in company with the juve-
I ails bridegroom, where the rnardes• ceremony was per-
r formed, ,in spite of the °hostiles whit* bad lees offered by
• the young members of the bride's famtly.Lieerpoof Attica.
