MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The supply of wheat on offer in to-day's market was
chiefly the refuse of Monday, very few parcels being re-
ceived fresh up. For all kinds, owing to the large arrivals
from abroad, the demand ruled heavy, and to effect sales
a decline of fully is per quarter must have been sub-
mitted to.
The imports of foreign wheat have amounted to 51,320
quarters. Good heavy parcels were held somewhat firmly,
at full quotations. In all other kinds very little was doing,
at barely late figures.
In floating cargoes next to nothing was doing.
Scarcely any English barley was brought forward, but
the show of foreign was tolerably good. The trade ruled
steady, at previous rates.
Malt moved off freely, at full currencies.
The imports of Archangel oats having been immense—
upwards of 90,000 quarters—the oat trade was dull, at 6d
to is per quarter less money.
Beans, peas, and flour were steady, at Monday's cur
rency.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.
Sole Lessee and Manager, Mr. W. Cooke.
Last Three Nights of the present Season.

The increasing popularity of the National Spectacle of the Battle of
Waterloo, which has now completed its 73d night, has by far ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the Lessee, who, anxious
to meet the public taste, has increased the attraction of that re-
nowned Spectacle of a Splendid Military Brass Band. In an-
nouncing the Grand Production for Five Nights more (when it
must be withdrawn to make room for the New Classical Burlesque,
conjointly with the Hippo Drama of Life on the Turf, which has
arrived at its 102 d night—a fact unprecedented), he feels confi-
dent that he is only meeting the wish of his patrons, who nightly
flock to this popular Establishment to witness their representa-
tion. To afford every possible Novelty, Mr. W. Cooke's Scenes in
the Circle are entirely changed each week. The return of Miss
EMILY COOKE from her Continental Tour was hailed with de-
monstrations of delight. She will repeat her matchless perform-
ance every evening. N.B.—Due Notice will be given of the
First Appearance in London of Miss KATE COOKE. The long-
promised Classical Burlesque will be produced on SATURDAY,
the 10th inst.

TRAVELS IN INDIA AND KASHMIR.
By Baron SCHONBERG.
" This account of a Journey through India and Kashmir will be
read with considerable interest. Whatever came in his way worthy
of record the author committed to writing, and the result is an
cittertaintng nod instructive miscellany of inrormation on the coun-
try, its climate, its natural productions, its history, and antiquities ;
and the character, the religion, and the social condition of its inha-
bitants. The remarks on these various topics possess additional
interest, as the author views India And our rule over that country
with the eye of an impartial observer."—John

BABONETAGE fo'r 1553.—The New and Improved Edition
of this important National Work, which has occupied the Author's
attention for a conSiderkble time. is now almost completed, and will

fidently hoped that the public will consider the delay more than com-
pensated for by the perfection of the forthcoming Edition.

The objects of this Corporation are the application of the powers
of the auxiliary screw to whaling vessels, and the establishment of a
fishing and mining colony in an inlet on the west side of Davis
Straits, known as Northumberland Inlet, or llogarth Sound, disco-
vered by Captain Penny, the Arctic Navigator, where the whales
hunted from the other fishing gro..nds and refuge, and especially
abound during the sprit g months, when the ice in Davis Straits
effectually prevents any vessel from approaching the coasts, and on
the adjacent shores of which there is greatmineral wealth, especially
plumbago (blacklead)
In this inlet, lying in latitude 65 deg., longitude 65 deg., on the
west coast of Davis Straits, and on the rich miner4l land adjacent,
her Majesty has been graciously pleased, under certain conditions, to
grant to Captain Penny and his co .adventurers a lease of land and a
right to trade, make settlements, work mines, and establish fisheries
within its limits.

The productiveness of the fishery in Northumberland Inlet was
tested by Captain Penny, in the years 1844, 46, 47 ; and in 1851,
twelve seamen, with only three boats, were landed from the Amer'.
can whaler " Maclellan" and killed no less than sixteen whales
during the spring months, when Davis Straits were closed by the ice.
Besides working the privileges conceded by the royal grant, which
are confined to the inlet and its adjacent shores, the Company pro-
pose to engage in the Nova Zembla fisheries, commencing with two
new screw steam whalers of 500 tons each, which the Company pro-
pose sending from Aberdeen in the spring months, the successful
prosecution of which is guaranteed by the superintendence of Captain
Penny, a successful whaling master of thirty-one years' standing,
who will go out to the colony, and pass the first winter in the inlet.
The whole of the expenses of Lease, Charter or Act of Parliament,
and Registration will be borne by the promoters, and no call will be
made vrii hout the consent of the Shareholders, or until a dividend
has been declared.

One-third of the capital having been already subscribed for (chiefly
in Scotland), applications for the remaining shares may be made to
the Secretary, William L. Hunt, Esq., 3. Cannon•street, City; or to
the brokers, Messrs. Carden and Whitehead, Royal Exchange-
buildings.
