MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate. The trade, both for red and
white qualities, ruled heavy, at, Monday's decline in the
quotations. Some of the new wheats were received in fair
condition.

With foreign wheat the market was well supplied.
Most descriptions were in slow request, at the recent de-
cline in prices.

Floating cargoes of wheat were dull, at Monday's cur-
rency. Spring corn, afloat, fairly supported previous
rates.

Barley was in short supply. The trade, however, was
very quiet, on former terms.

The malt trade was quiet, at about stationary prices.
The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. For
most qualities there was a fair demand, at full quotations.
Beans were in slow request, at late rates. For peas tho
trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency.
Most descriptions of flour moved off slowly, at about
Monday's currency.

BOY'S PLAY SIXTY YEARS AGO.—The school was
not without its recommendations, but the teaching
was carried on at one house, while we were domiciled and
were fed (under contract) at another. But unfortunately
our master fell in love with the daughter of the Apiarian.
She was no favourite, and the rude rustics sometimes in-
quired of the enamcured minister, "How's Miss Saucer-
eyes ?" I remember a dreadful burst of indignation when
one of his own congregation put to him the question ;
but the "love-affair" did undoubtedly tend to the neglect
of the duties of the school. The boys were hypercritical ;
on one occasion, when the master did not make his ap-
pearance at the proper time, they blackened all the desks
with ink, and when he entered and inquired what it
meant, a boy had the boldness, the effrontery, to say_
" They have gone into mourning for your absence, sir ! "
Another time a still graver practical joke gave a more
emphatic lessen to the teacher. He was, as usual, non
iwabiecbourytoinug. "

cellar,‘
flight of stairs. In the centre was a pump, used to sup-
ply the wants of the house, and in one corner a heap
of coals for winter use. To the cellar the boys re-
treated. They cut off the two bottom steps, and pumped
and pumped till there was a foot or two of water
in the cellar. They then ensconced themselves on the
coal-heap, and waited for the master's return. Re
came at last : it was night ; found the school vacant,
and, hearing a noise below, seized a candle and dashed
down the staircase ; he of course fell face foremost into
the water, which was thoroughly saturated with coal-
dust. The candle was extinguished ; the boys escaped
in the darkness, and left their drenched, disordered, and
dismayed master to recover himself and reach the upper
regions as best he could. He had his revenge, as far as a
good flogging of the whole school could give it, but I
thought the boys almost enjoyed the castigation, and con-
soled themselves with having had the best of the sport—.
