THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Thera have been moderate arrivals this week of both Corn
and Flour. The present indisposition of the millars to pur-
chase Wheat caused a very dull trade for this grain, and
though not much English is left for sale, yet Mondays prices
were sea; cely supported. Barley heavy at last quotations.
In other sorts of corn little done, but Monday's rates were
supported. Flour trade languid.

17, Wimp Ole-street, Wednesday Evening.

(Private.) Whitehall, Nov. 13, 1839.
DEAR SIII,--1 have hitherto abstained from address•
inn to you any beyond mere formal communication; on
subjects connected with your late office, from having
been informed that it was considered essential to the
safe progress of your recovery that you should be kept
as perfectly tranquil as possible ; but I need no longer
delay assuring you of the pleasure it gives me to state
that I have received her Majesty's gracious sanction
to offer you the honour of Knighthood, as a mark of
the high sense the Que( n entertains of the peculiar
merits of your individiv I exertions:in maintak n; her
Majesty's authority, and presermg the lives and proper-
ties of her subjects, within the borough committed to
your charge, upon the occasion of the late daring out•
break. I have marked this letter " private," in case,
from any personal or family circumstance, you might
wish to decline this particular mark of her Majesty's
favour ; but in the more probable event of our accept-
ing it as a record of your Sovereign's opinion of your
admirable conduct, when an opportunity, fortunately so
rare, occured of distinguishing yourself, there can be no
possible reason to prevent your at once mentioning the
receipt of a communication which it has given me the
most sincere grat:fication to make.
Trusting that your convalescence is proceeding as
your friends would wish, believe me, dear Sir, yours,
very faithfully.

NORMANBY.
To Thomas Phillips,jun., Esq.

Newport., Nov. 16, 1889.
My 1.,-)rd—ln conveying to your Lordship the de-
ternidnation to which I have come, to accept the honour
of Knighthood, which her Majesty has been graciously
pleased to sanction you in offering to me, I beg to ex-
press the deep feelings of gratitude I entertain to-
wards my Sovereign for the approb ition of my conduct
which she has been pleased to convey to me ; and as
soon as I shall be sufficiently recovered from my wounds,
which will probably confine me for soul,: weeks, it is
my intention personally to wait upon your Lordship, in
order to request that you will do me the honour to
present me to her Majesty.
I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obliged
and obedient servant, T. PHILLIPS, JUN.
DRUICY-LANE THEATRE.

Knowing. well that extravagant praise has spoiled
many a meritorious candidate for theatrical honours, we
are hut little disposed to speak more favourably of the
new prima donna at Drury, than bare justice demands,
but Miss Delcy extorts praise,
high praise,, even front
us. We saw her again last night I
in Cinderella, and
to learn before she can
e
liked her even better than before. eung as she is, and
muchae lthat as, of
heightcourse,in art of which she has yet
we believe her ca-
pable, we apprehend it would not be easy to name any na-
tive singer who could equal Miss Delcy in Cinderella—a
r
part in which to us she appears. all but perfect. She is
a complete mistress.
of its music, and performs all that
is required of Cinderella in the ablest and most scientific
manner. Her natural advantages are great. More
than once during the evening we were reminded of Ma-
libran, and Mr. Lacy we think may now safely enough
acknowledge his daughter, without
danger co his own
deservedly high reputation. Most men would be proud
of such a daughter. The audience last night were
rapturous, not to say uproarious, in their applause of the
young and love!y canealriee, throughout the whole per-
formance. Her •• Now with grief no longer Lending"
was encored amidst a tumult of applause. It was de-
lightfully sung, and deserved the compliment. At the
fall of the curtain she was loudix called fir, and, lad on
by Frazer, who, by the way, was in excellent voice,.
i
was greeted with bursts of applause from every part oi
tl,e house. We trust that Miss Lacy will see n iicli
demonstrations a powerful incentive only to go on vigor-
ously towards that perfection in her art which I`.. is
hoped she may reach.

PItIVILEGES OF THE COLLEGE OF JUSTICE.
—Notice has been given of an intention to bring in a
Bill into Parliament to abolish the privileges of the
College of Justice, so fir as they confer exemption from
the annuity tax and poors' rates. Four and a half per
cent, on the police rental (including in it the properties
occupied by the College of Justice, and taking into ac-
count the saving which would be effected by abolishing
the present establishment cf stentmasters), will yield
about the same net amount of revenue as six per cent.
on the properties now liable according to the present
survey. This would reduce the poor's money and an-
nuity from twelve to nine per cent. which would be a
great relief to the inhabitants.—Scolantan.
