PRICES OF SHARES-THI

(From Canton, to the 6th Jan.)

"The interruption to the trade was withdrawn on the
Ist inst., so far as concerns shipping off, and the discharge
of vessels which bad already commenced. The Hong
merchants, however, refuse to secure, any other vessel
pending their discussion with the authorities as to their
liabilities, and there are several vessels with full cargoes, and
as the Tea and Silk men will not come to terms, the trade

may still be considered virtually suspended, and it will re-
quire all the watchfulness and exertions of foreigners to
frustrate the attempts which the Hong merchants no doubt
are now making to fetter the commerce with further
restrictions "
The partial opening of the trade has had no effect upon
the Tea Market—it is quite inactive.
In the early part of the morning some purchases were
made of Consols, suppostd for en Irish Bank, which im-
proved the market to 93k for the Account, since which

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CHATHAM.—On
Thursday morning, ar three o'clock, a destruetiv fire broke
out in the extensive premises belonging to Messrs. Wall and
Godfrey, brewers, in the town of Chatham. Imme-
diately it was discovered, the utmost alarm prevailed
throughouut the town, and every exertion was used to
subdue the devouring element. The fire engines were
promptly brought into operation. and by seven o'clock all
danger was over. The premises were reduced to ruins,
and two valuable horses, with three pigs, were consumed
in the flames.

ABDUCTION OF A VOTER AT THE WIGAN
ELECTION.— A t the Preston Sessions on Saturday last, the
grand jury having found a true bill against five defendants
for an alleged riot, assault, and imprisonment of one
William Blomerley at ‘Vigan, they were tried on an indict.
ment for misdemeanour. The Manchester Guardian
states that the " jury thought proper to acquit the de-
fendants," in the face of the clearest evidence ever sub-
mitted to a criminal court ;" adding, " With respect to the
Composition of that jury (which ‘s as ineffectually challenged
by the counsel for the prosecution), and to the mode in which
it was summoned, we have heard some very extraor-
dinary statements, into which we shall make some inquiry
before we further allude to them. We b lieve 'here is no
di übt, that, with two exceptions, the jurors were well-
known Tory partisans "

MR. PAULTON'S LECTURES.—On Wechiesda
evening last Mr. Paulton delivered the first of two lectures
on the Corn-laws, in the Guildhall of Worcester, to a very
large and most attentive audience.
HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—One of the
mo.t perfect performances we e%er attended took place last
night at her Majesty's Theatre, for the benefit of Mdlle.
Herminie Elssler, We regret to add that, although the.
manager and his unrivalled company filled the cup of
pleasure to the brim, a numerous and distinguished au-
dience WA? wanting. We have seldom seen the theatre
le.s profitably attended, and so little ornamented with rank
and fashion. Yet it was the first performance this seasen
of one of the very best of Donizetti's operas, " Luci di
Lammermoor." ushered in by Persiani, Rubini, and Tam-
burini, with a fervour which led them to surpass themselves
in voice and execution. The second act of the .• Puritani"
succeeded, when we were happy to find Lablache restored
once more to his ordinary magnificence of voice. He and
Tamhurini obtained their usual encores. The audience of
the Opera would seem to have divided into two parties—
the Grisites and Persianites; and perhaps it is this that,
prevents our hearing exquisite talents of such different
styles combine their powers in the same pieces. Grisi, I
