MARKETS —This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The arrivals of English wheat up to our market to-day
were very moderate. The condition of the produce being
poor, good and fine samples were held at fully Monday's
currency, and changed hands at that day's prices, not-
withstanding that the demand ruled far from active. For
damp qualities the trade was heavy at late rates.
With foreign wheat the market was but moderately
supplied. For all descriptions the market was very quiet,
but without leading to any quotable change in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain wore in fair request at full
quotations.

The supply of barley on sale was tolerably large. For
all qualities the trade was dull, at about previous rates.
Malt moved off slowly, at late rates.
Oats were in moderate supply, and the demand for them
ruled heavy, at drooping prices.
Beans met a slow -sale, at late rates. Peas were firm
• •

in price.
In flour there was a moderate demand, and prices ruled
firm.

A WALKING MATCH IN A SEWER.—A pedestrian
match of a remarkable character came off at Brad-
ford,` on Saturday, between two men who were matched to
walk, the one through the new main sewer, from its com-
mencement in Bridge-street to its termination at Bolton-
bridge, Manningham, and the other over its surface, one of
the conditions being that the latter should, before reaching
the goal, give his rival the advantage of a 10 minutes' halt.
The length of course was one mile and a quarter. The vic-
tory was won by the man in the sewer, and whose name
was Hamlin, who emerged from the outlet a little before
the arrival of his competitor.

4.- ..
The Prince and Princess of Wales

Yesterday morning his Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales, attended by Lieut.-Colonel Keppel, left
Marlborough House and travelled by the Great
Western Railway to the Taplow station, which is
situated about a mile from Maidenhead, in Berkshire'
His royal highness reached Taplow at half-past 11,
and having mounted his horse rode off with his suite
by way of Maidenhead to Shottesbrook Park, the
residence of Capt. Robson, where a large and select
company had assembled to greet the Prince. On his
arrival his royal highness rode rapidly up the drive to
Shottesbrook House, politely lifting his hat in acknow-
ledgment of the numerous loyal salutations which be
received from the knots of spectators near the house-
The Prince was received by Capt. and Mrs. Robson
and invited to partake of some refreshment before
commencing the hunt. Among the company assem-
bled to meet his royal highness were Mr. and Mrs.
Seymour Grenfell, Captain and Mrs. Hamilton, Dies.
Denne, Mr. and Mrs. Scrocold, Capt. and Mrs. Gor
don Watson, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, and Mr. and
Mrs. Bullock Webster, while the field included Maj or-
General the Hon. A. N. Hood, the noble master of the
harriers, Mr. J. J. Pocock, and most of the lauded
gentry of that part of Berks. His royal highness
made but a short stay in the mansion, and having re-
mounted opposite the house; the sportsmen alll
hounds drew off from the park to one of Mr., Sharp
(the agent's) fields, where a hare was soon found, and
gave a very pretty chase, doubling round throng°,
the park in front of Shottesbrook House, and
offering a good view of the Hunt to the ladies clus-
tered near the mansion, as the dogs and huntsmen
crossed the green sward beneath the trees in n
cry. Puss was, however, cunning, and quietly
turned up in the park, half a mile in the rear of the
field, the members of which had neared the railway
before the scent was lost, a bitterly cold wind blob''
ing at the time. The hare was then perceived to
some boys, and, startled by their shouts, ran
in
a thicket almost in the mouths of the pack, but wat;
eventually lost. Sport was then again found, 311 r
this carried the field away in the face of the hitte,
wind towards Twyford. The Prince continued
rode
the field till about half-past 3 o'clock, and then rouce
to Windsor. The Prince of Wales and Frill 5
Albert Victor reached the Castle at a quarter t°
o'clock.
