MARKETS—This Day.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to this morning's market, The attendance of
buyers was small, and the demand both for red and white
qualities ruled inactive. Nevertheless, good and fine par-
cels steadily supported previous rates.
The show of samples of foreign wheat was moderately
large. All descriptions were in limited request, yet no
ohange took place in prices compared with Monday.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate demand
on former terms.

The supply of barley was very moderate. All descrip-
tions, however, met a slow sale, yet prices were supported.
Malt changed bands to a fair average extent, at late rates.
The supply of oats was moderately large, Goad and fine
corn moved off slowly, at previous quotations; otherwise,
the trade was dull, at drooping prices.

Both beans and peas were very firm, and the currency
had an upward tendency.

Barrel flour, the supply of which was moderate, met a
slow sale, on former terms. 0 her descriptions ruled in-
active, but no alteration took place in their value.

Newsvenders' Benevolent and Provident

Institution.

The twenty-fourth annual meeting of this society
was held yesterday at the News Exchange, Black
Horse-court, Fleet-street, Mr. Kennedy in the chair.
Mr. MILES, the hon. secretary, read the report,
which congratulated the members on the increasing
prosperity of the society, and the fact that during
the past year many members of the trade who had
hitherto stood aloof had come forward and joined
the society. By a wise rule of the society the elec•
tion of its pensioners was limited to the amount of
dividend received upon its invested stock, and this,
now amounting to .£1,925, enabled the committee to
receive another pensioner on the fund, whose elec-
tion would take place at the close of the meeting,
making a total of five pensioners, one at £l6 and
four at £lO per annum each. The committee were
enabled to announce a large addition to their funds
by many donations receiv. d at the late anniversary
dinner, presided over by Mr. Charles Dickens, to
whom the thanks of the members are due. The total
income of the society for the year bad been £342 9s.
7d., and the expenditure £337 6s. 5d., being a balance
on the year of £25 3s. 2d. The office of secretary
being vacant consequent on the sudden retirement
of Mr. Hoskins, the committee recommended Mr.
W. Jones, of the Lambeth Savings Bank, for the
office.

Mr. Kelly moved, and Mr. Stevens seconded the
adoption of the report, which was agreed to.
Votes of thanks having been given to the com-
mittee and officers, the retiring directors and audi-
tors were re-elected,

On the motion of Mr. Wood, seconded by Mr.
Standfast, Mr. W. Jones was unanimously elected
as secretary, and the proceedings closed.
The successful candidate was Mrs. Rose Wild,
widow of the late Mr. Wild, of Catherine-street,
Strand, who polled 289 votes against 91 given for
Mrs. Livett.

REPRESENTATION OF LONDON.—Mr. D. Kirk-
man Hodgson, Governor of the Bank of England, and Mr.
Alderman and Sheriff Laurence are spoken of as candi-
dates for the representation of the city of London.
SCARCELY CREDIBLE !—Tne oddest idea (says
the Court Journal) that mad fashion has had of late
[Where we venture to ask] is that of making gentlemen
wear coloured coats and breeches at balls. They must be
either of silk or velvet, and owing to the " softness" and
consequent appropriateness, velvet is the chosen.
RE - POSTED NEWSPAPERS. Mr. Gran tley
charge an extra
Berkeley has lately written that--" Postmasters cannot
news penny for the transmission of a stamped
paper, on the ground that its re •direction, if on the
paper itself, and not on a fresh cover, is 'writing' prohibited
by law. I have just had the ease decided by the Post-
master- General, and the two pennies which were charged
on a paper re-sent to me from Wycombe to London, and
thence to.,Winkton, returned."
