MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
To-day's market was very scantily
supplied with
home-grown,Wheats; nevertheless, as the attendance of
buyers was limited, the demand for all kinds ruled
heavy, at barely Monday's prices, at which a total
clearance was not effected. Scarcely a single transaction
s week. Selected sam-
ples depressed. Low and middling kinds moved off

slowly, at previous quotations. In floating cargoes no
transactions were reported, Although the show of both
English and foreign Barley was limited, malsters and
others purchased with extreme caution. No change in
Malt, the supply of which was trifling. Oats, Beans,
Peas, and Flour sold slowly, yet the quotations were
well supported.

better.

TUE GREAT BRITAIN.—This splendid screw-
steamer still lies in the Nelson Dock, Liverpool, where she
remains until the Ist of May, when she will clear out for the
United States with a large number of passengers and an ex-
tensive cargo. She will have no steerage passengers. Her first
and second class cabins are replete with every accommoda-
tion ; her cuisine arrangements are most excellent : and the pro-
visions for second-class passengers will not be inferior to those
of a mail steam-ship. Her owners made an application to
the Dock Committee, on Thursday, to be allowed to work
her screw in dock; but, it being the opinion of the surveyor
that it might not be unattended with danger, the application
was refused.

11,,DLLE. AUGUSTE D'ARBLAT.—This lady's con-
cert is announced to take place on Saturday evening next,
the 17th inst., at the Whittington Club ; she is the authoress
of several compositions in verse and song, and is, as a vocalist,
a veryfinished artist. The entertainment is a very attrac-
tive one, including the names of Madame F. Lablache, Miss
L. Tyne, Miss Birch, Mr. W. Harrison, Signor Fedor, Herr
Jonghmanno, Signor F. Lablache, Henry Smith, Geo. Buck-
land, and others. We earnertly hope she will meet with the
success she deserves.

DROWNING OF TWO DRAGOONS, AND DEATH OF
ONE OF THEIR SWEETMEARTS.--LaSt evening Mr. Wakley,
M.P., held an inquest at the London Apprentice, Isleworth,
on Charles Irvine, aged 22, and Hardy Moorhouse, aged 23,
privates of the 4th Light Dragoons, quartered at Hampton
I Court, who were drowned opposite sleworth Church, under
the melancholy circumstagces mentioned in yesterday's
paper. Evidence having been heard, the Coroner summed
up, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death."
At the close of the inquest the Coroner was informed that
Mary Love, the daughter of the summoning officer, to whom
Irvine was betrothed, was so affected by the news of his
death, that, being of a naturally delicate constitution, she
was so overwhelmed with grief that she sank under it, and
died on Monday.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AY COLNEY-HATCH
RAILWAY HOTEL.—A singular scene of riot and confusion
occurred at this village on Monday last, on the opening of
the Railway Hotel by Mr. Davis, on which occasion a ge-
neral feast was to have been given to the inhabitants, in the
old Homeric style, of roasting a whole sheep and an entire
ox ! As it was considered that the invitation to the good
cheer was general, so, as soon as the feast was ready and the
guests prepared, a strong party of excavators, mustering be-
tween thirty and forty, rushed like the " band of fierce
with athtetmheossttacthioonice(
bar-
barians," in Home's tragedy of Douglas, not from the Gram-
pion Hills, but from the railway works, and pounced upon the
roasted cattle, carrying riot and devastation all before them.
The di: jointed roasted ox was seized, the booths upset, and
a universal melee commenced. As there WAS but one police-
man

all their own way, and made a regular clearance of the viands

and other good cheer, and then departed, without any Norval
to follow. This disgraceful affair, tbe motives of which may
evidently be ascribed to other parties than the excavators,
