THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The smallness of supplies and continuance of changeable
weather occasions the factors to demand higher prices for most
articles. A few sales of good wheat have been made to needy
:buyers at is per advance on Monday's terms, but higher rates
bare not been obtained for any other description of corn.
Flour as last reported.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS•

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY. We have
again to note an improved demand for Cotton, and an ad-
vance of d. to -id. per lb. on yesterday's prices. The sales
are nearly 5,000 bags, 400 have been taken for export, and
200 for speculation.
We have received Launceston papers from Van Die-
men's Lath to the 2d of April.
A public meeting of Colonists inhabiting the northern
division of the island of Van Diemen's Land was held at
the Court-house at Launceston, on the 27th of March.
Moved by Capt. Wood and seconded by Henty, Esq.
" That a petition to her Majesty the Queen, from whcse
Councils it is most likely t ny measure for altering the existing
system of secondary punishment would proceed, presents
the most expedient course Er the colonists to adopt on
this occasion. That, in furtherance of the last resolution,
a petition to the Queen be adopted by this meeting. The
petition contains a very long string of resolntions, the
first stating that the petitioners have heard with concern
that the Sclect Committee of the House of Commoas, ap
pointed to inquire into the system of transportation, have
concluded their Report with certain resolutions, of which
the first is as follows :

" That transportation to New South \Vales and Van
Diemans Land should be discontinued as soon as prac-
ticable."

" Second—That the petitioners humbly beg to express
it as their conscientious opinion that the resolutions of the
Committee are, as respects this colony, founded on evi-
dence at once partial, incomplete, and in many instances
wholly unfounded on fact."
Markets.—Wheat at Sydney per bushel 123. 61., ditto
at Derwent 13s. to 143. ; Barley, English, 6s. 6d„ ditto,
Cape, 9s. ; Oats, New South Wales, ss. to 6d. ; Maze,

From Hobart Town Papers received to the 30th of

March :

SOUTH AUSTRALIA. —We have received South Au3tra-

Tian Papers to the 2d of March. Mr. Eyre had succeeded
in reaching Adelaide by a journey overland from New
Scuth Wales, with a flock of 1,000 sheep, the loss in the
route being no more than 1 per cent. Captain Hart had
also arrived over land from Portland Bay with a herd of

1,000 cattle. Other importations of sheep and cattle had
also reached the colony, and several more were expected.
We have received Sydney intelligence to the 12th
March. Apprehensions were entertained that the drought
that had existed for so long would be productive of the
most sei ions consequences.

The Bank Directors met sesterday, and bad long dis-
cussions, but upon what subject is still a secret, and on their
breaking up no notice was issued. All is yet surmise
as to their future operations.

Foreign Exchanges 3eiterday, although not to a great

The Batavier has arrived, bringing Dutch papers to the
23d initant. The prices are rather higher, Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. 55 ; Five per Cents. 102. There is no
political news of consequ:lice. Money was plentiful at
Amsterdam. Discounts at the rate of 21 to 21 per ann.
A report prevailed that an overland express had arrived
from India with accounts that the trade with the Chinese
has been stopped ; but upon inquiry we find it not true,
and that no overland express had arrived.
Fifty thousand Exchequer Bills were sold in the course
of the morning by the Government brokers ; they were
done at one period at 10s. premium.
Consols arc not quite so good as in the morning, and
may be quoted, 92k for the Account; Money, 91i 92;

THE CARDIGANSIIIRE BOROUGHS.—The
Tivy- Side " Medical Board" have been for some time
busy in endeavouring to get up a Conservative opposition
to Mr. Pryse Pryse, the sitting Member for these Boroughs.
We are informed, that having fruitlessly hawked the prof-
fered honour amongst the Cardiganshire Squires, they
hove at last succeeded in obtaining a patient who will bleed
freely, in the person of a Mr. Scandret (or Scandrett)
Harford. We have been endeavouring to find out who
this gentleman can be, and we learn that he is a Saxon
from Bristol, a partner, or in someway connected with the
firm of Miles and Company, in Corn-street, Bristol, and
that on the failure in trade of Mr. Hart Davies, a few
years ago, he somehow or other became possessed
of part of his estate at Lampeter. That he pro-
fesses Toryism is to be assumed, because otherwise the
medical gentlemen would not have been so eager to feel
his pulse ; but beyond this the sum total of his character
both public and private is—a blank I Then this is the
man who has been selected to sever the ties between the
head of the House of Gogerddan (the descendant of our
Princes) and his constituents and relatives—ties which
more than a quarter of a century have hallowed with a
sanctity which ought to know no change—indeed, because
no change is to be found in the man, save the greyness
which has silvered his locks. Year after year has added to
the debt of gratitude which the constituents of this
good old man owe to so faithful a servant. and is this the
way to repay it, now that he is almost spent in their ser-
vice ? Shame on you, burgesses of Cardigan ! Shame on
you, burgesses of Aberystwith, &c. 1— Welshman.
HAYMARKET THEATRE.—Tuesday night, after
the farce of My Wife's Dentist had paved the way to the
good humour of the audience of this theatre, a new comedy,
from the pen of " Buckstone the ever busy," was pro-
duced and acted with unqualified success. It is entitled
Single Life, and in it the author, who formerly illustrated
Married Life with equal whimsicality and effect, avows
his desire, " by pourtraying some of the vagaries of court-
ship, to prove that the democratic regions of celibacy have
their bickerings, as well as the most loyal of the United
States." The method he takes to effect this is by consti-
tuting five bachelors the lovers of five spinsters, and build-
ing equieoque and contrariety upon the peculiar characteris-
tics of all the attached parties. We have not room to go
into all the mysteries of the plot.
