MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with
home-grown wheat. For selected parcels there was a steady
demand at full prices; otherwise, the trade was dull at
about Monday's currency.
With most descriptions of foreign wheAt the market was
well supplied. Generally speaking, sales proceeded slowly
at the rates current on Monday.
Floating cargoes of grain moved oil slowly at previous
quotations.
The market was seasonably well supplied with barley.
Good and fine malting.qualities were in steady request at full
prices, but for inferior produce the demand was very in-
active, at late rates.
In malt, a very moderate business was transacted, on
former terms.
There was a good supply of oats on the stands. Generally
speaking, the trade was firm, and Monday's prices wore
well supported.
Beans met a slow sale, at late rates. For peas, the trade
was quiet, at previous quotations.
In flour, only a moderate business was transacted, at late
prices.

TILE DANISH WOUNDED,—The committee which
at the outset of the Danish war was formed, under the pre-
sidency of the Marquis of Clanricarde, to collect funds for
the relief of the sick and wounded of the Danish army,
have just remitted a final sum of £124 15s Gd to the Danish
committee at Copenhagen, making a total of nearly £9,200
collected in England, and remittted to Denmark for this
benevolent object. The collection of such a sum for the
relief of the wounded of a foreign army is no slight evi-
dence of the sympathy felt in England for the Danes in
their gallant struggle against an overwhelming force.
Ea !LAMBERT.-"Mr Lambert will see company
at his house, Number Fifty-three, Piccadilly, next
Albany, nearly opposite St James's Church, from eleven to
five o'ci.ock. Tickets of admission. One Shilling each!' He
was one of the lions of London for a time. His exhibition
room (what a famous place Piccadilly has been for giants,
dwarfs, lean people, and fat people!) was visited by the
high born as well as by the vulgar; and he appears to have
been respected as well as looked at, for he was a kind and
sensible man, He was always shocked at the idea of any
personal indignity or insult being cast upon him on the
ground of his bulk by coarse minded persons; and
this known susceptibility was generally respected. Mr Lam-
bert was healthy in spite of his obesity. Some years earlier,
when he was thrice the weight of an ordinary man, he could
carry a weight of 5001 b. During the last fifteen years of
his life he drank nothing but water, and was usually cheer-
ful and good-humoured. His bulk increased year by year,
until, shortly before his death, in 1809, he attained the
unprecedented weight of 739. b. (nearly 53 stones). His
coffin was 76 inches long by 52 inches wide, and con-
tained 112 square feet of elm. The coffin was
regularly built upon axles and wheels ; and not
only-the window, but also the side of a room, had to be taken
down, to afford a passage for the bulky man. The wheeled
coffin was drawn to St. Martin's churchyard, where a gra-
dual descent was made to the grave by excavating the
ground. We remember seeing, a few years ago, at a boot-
maker's in the City, a pair of shoes, the counterpart of some
which had been made for the weighty Daniel by a former
proprietor of the shop; they were, as Thomas Hood said of
a stage-coachman's great coat,
Too broad to bo conceived by any narrow mind,
