NEWBURY, Aram 29.—We have had a large supply of
wheat to-day, for which enhanced prices were generally de-
manded. For the best selected lots is per quarter advance
was obtained, but the largeness of the supply checked busi-
ness, and a considerable quantity remains unsold, farmers
being "reluctant to accept the rates of last week. Barley, but
little in offer, and readily obtained Is per quarter advance.
Oats, short supply, and is per quarter dearer. Beans and
peas also in request at is per quarter advance.
lavrarooL, Aran. 30.—A very favourable change in the
weather has come upon us since Tuesday, and we have had
nice rain. This ehange has exercised influence on the grain
trade, making the buyers cautious, and at our Corn Exchange
this morning the business effected was moderate in every ar-
ticle of grain, flour, and meal, and where any alteration of
priCe occurred, it was the turn in favour of the buyer.
BRlsror. SUGAR-MARKET, Aram 30.--The market

THE QUARTETT ASSOCIATION.
A violin quartett of the first class, end order the
highest patronage—no less than that of her Majesty the
Queen, Price° Albert, and the Duchess of Sent—has
been formed in the persons of the well-known and re-
nowned artistes, Messrs. Sainton, Cooper, Hill, and Piatti.
It is entitled the' quartett Association," and the first
performance took place on Wednesday at Willis's Rooms.
The first quartett chosen was No. 1. of Cberubini in E
flat, dedicated to Beillot, and it was the first public per-
formance in this country, although the quartett along
with two others has been published some years, and is not
unknown amongst certain amateurs. It was led most effi-
ciently by M. Sainton, and much applauded. The scherzo
and its trio presented a beautiful contrast of quaintness
and vivacity in the minor and major, and was unani-
mously encored. The quartett altogether was well reoeived.
The second piece in the programme was a new sonata
for pianoforte and violoncello by Mr. W. S. Bennett,
and executed to perfection by the author and Signor
Piatti, the greatest living violoncellist. The minuetto
characteristique is remarkably beautiful and very ori-

oiler, the t`'" aps a igerabundance of rapid pea-
-1 sages for the pianoforte, which seemed to require some
relief. The next quartett was No. sof Mendelssohn in
E flat, which was led in a masterly style by Mr. Cooper,
who maintained his acknowledged reputation as the
greatest English violinist. It was throughout played to
perfection. The peculiarly piquant scherzo produced
its accustomed telling effect upon the audience, and the
majestic and passionate adagio was magnificently ren-
dered. The matinee terminated with Beethoven's quar-
tett No. 8, in E minor, the second of the Rasu-
mowsky set, and which was capitally played by M.
Sainton, who has usually been accustomed to lead this
quartett at the Beethoven Society. The concert was
throughout warmly applauded by a very numerous and
appreciating audience, amongst whom were many dis-
tinguished amateurs and professors of high reputation.
The programme is enriched by a valuable analysis of
every movement from the skilful pen of Mr. G. A. Mac-
farren, and is worthy of being preserved as a musical
treasure, and should be hereafter published in a complete
form. Those performances, by such consummate
artistes, will greatly advance the cultivation of a pure
taste for classical instrumental chamber music, and every
one present at the opening concert must have felt that
music was in the ascendant in this country.
