THE MARKETS-4THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
There was a moderate supply of English Grain and Flour
la4t week, and a large quantity of Oats from Ireland. The
trade for good Wheat and Barley had an upward tendency,
but Oats were lower. This morning there has been a small
fresh supply of all kinds of Corn. The sales of Wheat to-
day were free, at an advance on all qualities of 2s. per quarter
since this day se'nnight. Barley, if fine, is rather dearer, but
the stained parcels are very difficult to sell. Beans, both old
and new, maintain the terms of last Monday. Boiling Peae
are again lower. Grey Pease also are somewhat declined.
In the Oat trade transactions have been limited, and this
article is Is. per quarter lower than Monday se'nnight. The
Flour trade remains slack, but late prices are supported.

OLIVER TWIST, BY " Boz."—" In the story of
" Oliver Twist,"(now in course of publication in Bentley's
Miscellany,' edited by the celebrated author of " The Pick-
wick Papers), there is a sustained power, a range of ob-
servation, and a continuity of interest. The popularity of
Mr. Dickens has been fairly earned without resorting to
any of the means' by which most other writers have suc-
ceeded in attracting the attention of their contemporaries.
He has flattered no popular prejudice, and profited by no
passing folly ; he has attempted no caricature sketches of
the manners or conversation of the aristocracy ; and there
are very few political allusions in his works. 'With the ex-
ception of occasional extracts in the newspapers, he has
received little or no assistance from the press ; het in a
very short time from the appearance of Mr. Dickens as a
writer, the whole reading public were talking about him.
This is only to be accounted for on the supposition that a
fresh vein of humour bad been opened ; that a new and de-
cidedly original genius had sprung up ; and the most cur-
sory reference to preceding English writers of the same
order, will show that, in his own peculiar walk, Mr. Dickens
is not simply the most distinguished, but the first. His
genius is, indeed, rich, vigorous, and versatile enough to en-
sure him a high and enduring reputation."—Quartedy Re-
view for November, 1837.
Mr. Gleig, _ the well-known author of " The
Subaltern" and other popular historical fictions, has just
produced a work called "Chelsea College and its Tradi-
tions." In this the annals of the hospital are traced from
its foundation in the reign of Charles H., to the present
day, including records of the adventures of its inmates, as
derived from the traditions of the place, or from the lips
of such of the veterans as are now living. In the former
three are graphic recitals of conflicts under the execrable
Colonel Kirke—of the wars of the Duke of Marlborough,
snd other famous Generals. And in the latter the reader
is presented with reminiscences by the private soldiers of
the Peninsular Campaign, the Battle of Waterloo, &c.
The early part of the history of the College itself em-
braces some original and curious anecdotes of the Courts
of Charles 11. and his successor James, in the former of
which Nell Gwynn is made to figure in a new and plea-
sant light.

FIRE.—On Saturday a fire took place in the farm-
yard of R. Thomas, farmer, of Culdicot, when, we regret
to say, all the bay and corn was consumed. The origin
of the tre is unknown, but it is supposed that it was caused
by the children of Thomas, he and his wife being from home
at the time.—Merlin.
