MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The demand for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday was in a sluggish state. Good and fine qualities
fairly supported previous rates; otherwise, the quotations
were rather drooping. Barley, oats, beans, and peas ruled
firm ; and in the value of flour no alteration took place.

On the Continent the trade is steady for most descriptions
of produce. The leading feature in our American advices
is a somewhat improved inquiry for wheat for export.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small. The imports from abroad amounted to 18,149
quarters of wheat, 11,532 barley, 35,985 oats, 2,401 beans,
1,514 peas, 30 tares, 1,480 linseed, 18,258 oilseeds, 375 sun-
dry seeds, 70 sacks, and 8,663 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of English
wheat were very mod rate, and most samples came to hand
in but middling condition. Good and fine parcels, both red
and white, were in fair demand, and last Monday's cur-
rency was steadily suppoeted. Inferior and ill-conditioned
produce, however, met a dull inquiry ; nevertheless, in ni at
transactions, the rates current this day se'nnight were ob-
tained.

MadHe, Caroline Valentin's Concert.

This accomplished pianiste gave a matinee
musicale on Friday, at the Hanover square Rooms,
which was fashionably attended. The vocalists
were all ladies, and the instrumentalists consisted of
the eoncert-giver herself, Mons. Sainton on the
violin, and Mons. Pique on the violoncello. The
performance of these two gentlemen is too well
known to need any cr:ticism ; and Madlle. Valentin
displayed her powers to advantage in playing with
them some concerted pieces. The character of the
music selected was throughout highly classical, and
the concert was certain to gratify an audience of
refinel and cultivated taste.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

The rifle match between 30 members—viz., five
officers, 10 non-commissioned officers, and 15
privates from each of the West Midellesex and Vic-
toria Rifle Corps, was shot off on Friday last at the
Stanmore range, near Harrow. The conditions of
the rcatea were five shots each at 200, 500, and 600
yards ; Wimbledon scoring and Enfield Rifles. The
weather proved most unfavourable. The total
scores made by the West Middlesex were 903 marks;
by the Victorias, 856 marks. The four highest scores
on the winning side were Captain Dear, 43 ; Lieu-
tenant Marriner, 43 ; Sergeant Barber, 41, and
Private J. W. Smith, 40. The four highest on the
Victoria side were Corporal Somervaile, 40; Private
J. Dawe, 38 ; Private J. G. Davey, 38 ; Corporal
Mortleek, 35. The three highest scores on the
winning side are entitled to three tankards, paid for
by the losers. The tie for first place was shot off by
Captain Dear and Lieutenant Marriner, and resulted
in favour of the former.

There is to be a Volunteer field-day at Harwich
on the 29th inst., when the brigade assembled will
be under the direction of Lord Ranelagh. It is not
yet positively decided what corps will attend, but
several companies from the metropolis and also from
Suffolk are expected to be present, and in addition
to local Essex corps. The redoubt at Harwich will
be manned for a mimic fight.
On Saturday the Bristol Rifle Corps, in honour
of her Majesty's birthday, marched to Kingsweston-
common, a distance of about four miles from the city,
where, after a short battalion drill, they bivouacked.
They afterwards engaged in athletic sports for
prizes given by the Mayor of Bristol, who by virtue
of his office is honorary colonel of the regiment, and
others. A cooking detachment was told off, and
under the command of Lieutenant Burges, the
quartermaster, they proceeded to the ground some
hours before the corps. By the aid of a pontoon
cooking apparatus, presented to the regiment by
Mr. Thomas Proctor, they prepared dinner for the
regiment. There were about 500 of all ranks on
parade, and they were served with excellent stew,
ad libitum, a loaf of bread, and half a pint of beer,
at 6d. per man. The athletic sports consisted of
high jump, hurdle race, flat race, quoits, throwing
weights, &c., and a very pleasant afternoon was
spent, the corps returning to head-quarters about
10 o'clock.

On Thursday the Taff battalion of the Glamor-
ganshire Volunteer corps was inspected by Lieute-
nant-Colonel Clarke on the practice ground at
Aberdare. The men were under arms for several
hours, and they went through the evolutions in a
highly creditable manner. The battalion mustered
500 strong.

similar object. In drawing up this new bill, his lordship
said that he had been aided by the valuable assistance of
31r. Kerr, of the Sheriffs' Court. The noble lord commented

that his object in bringing it before their lordships was to

_

been in vain if he succeeded in carrying this bill.

MEXICO.

The following proclamation was issued by the
Mexican inhabitants of Tampico on receiving the
news of the fall of Puebla :

" Glory to the army of the East. Eternal re-
poach to the French Army;
"By the extraordinary express which arrived
last night from the capital of the Republic, we have
received the latest news relative to the heroic de-
fenders of Puebla.

The Mexicans resident in this city, full of pride
by reason cf the glorious conduct followed by our
general chiefs and officers, prisoners in Puebla, have
resolved to publish this interesting news in
order that it may be brought to the knowledge of
our brothers, and that the whole world may admire
the greatness of our heroes.

The news to which we refer is the following :
Between 10 and 11 o'clock on the morning of the
18th our generals, chiefs, and officers who were all
assembled in the governmental palace of Puebla had
a document communicated to them for their signa-
ture, the terms of which were nothing more nor less
than the following :
" EXPEDITIONARY CORPS OF MEXICO.
"General in Chief—
" We, the undersigned officers of the army of the
East, declare upon our word of honour :

" let. We will never again take any part in the
politics of the country, and will be neutral in the
present struggle.

" 2d. We 'will not quit the place assigned to us by
the General-in-Chiet of the French army.

"3d. We will not communicate with our families,
nor with any person without his present consent."

PUEBLA, MAY 18.
This document having been read by Genera:
Llave, and the question being put to thosb present.
the whole assembly replied with one voice :

" Viva Mexico ! Death to Napoleon ! Death to
the Traitors !"

The citizen generals, chiefs, and officers, more-
over, signed the following reply :—"Neither the
laws of the country, military honour, nor our pri-
vate convictions allow of our signing the declara-
tion which has been presented to us. We protest
against it by signing the present.
" Puebla, May 18, 1863."

In view of this honourable reply, the French
commander ordered that the Generals should be
conducted, in the quality of prisoners, to the Casa de
Insunza, in Victoria-street, the chiefs to the Con-
vent of La Soledad, and the subalterns to the Cus-
toms-house, all being wanted, and not: allowed to
quit their respective quorters.
" Tampico, May 28, 1863."

AFFAIRS OF TURKEY.

Constantinople letters and journals to the 18th
have arrived, bat, their contents are not of much
importance. The following are a few items of in-
telligence taken from the Levant Herald :—" The
Sultan returned two days back to Dolmabaktehe
from the Kiosk at the Sweet Waters. The same
day Adele Sultana removed from Ali-Bey to
her summer residence at Komou-chesme. Con-
siderable activity prevails in the arsenal at
present. Four sets of engines are now in course of
coestrunion for the new corvettes. The 6,000 torn
iron clad frigate, recently laid down by Mr. Hen-
wood, the master shipwright, is advancing, and will,
it is expected, be ready for launching within two
years; her engines of 1,000 horse power have been
ordered. Mr. Isaacs, the assistant master ship-
wright, ha:, laid down a small sailing yacht for
the Sultan, after a very handsome model. This craft
is intended for the lake at Kutcuk-chekmedje.
The squadron is not, as had been intended, and as
we recently mentioned, to go on a cruise to the
Archipelago under the command of Mustapha
Paella. This officer has instead applied for leave
of absence to make a tour to Europe for the
benefit of his health. Au instance of the admis-
sion of Christian evidence lately took place be-
fore the military tribunal of Tophaneh, which
deserves report. Some weeks ago Mr. Holyhead,
a clerk:in the British Consulate, was riding through
Pere, when his horse happened to splash a sergeant
of Zouaves near the Texim. The man was irritated
by the incid.2nt, and—whether or not further pro-
voked by the words or action of the horseman we
know not—struck at the latter, and would have
handled him roughly but for the accidental passing
of another Englishman, who interfered. Complaint
was made of tht. " assault," and the sergeant was
sent to the military lock-up at Tophaneh, where
he remained under arrest till last week, when he
was brought to trial in presence of Mr. Hoyland.
The evidence of the latter and of his rescuing
friend, Mr. Buck, was freely received by the
tribunal, and the misconduct of the sergeant
being thereby proved, the prisoner, after having
been called on for his defence—which was mainly
a protest that he had been the injured party, and
not the injurer—was pronounced guilty of the
offence and sentenced to three months' impri-
sonment in irons. The man loudly protested
against Christian evidence being received against
him, but the president said that this rather ag-
gravated his offence.—Mr. Charnaud of Smyrna
has obtained a concession for establishing mills
for the preparation of madder for the English
market, A letter from Tarsous (Caramania) says
that the estimated cotton crop in that district will
this year be upwards of 60,000 bales, but that
there is so great a want of gins that it is much to
be feared that a large quantity of the staple will be
seriously damaged in the cleaning.

COUNTRY MARKETS.
