MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The show of English wheat in to-day's market was very
limited ; yet, owing to the large influx of wheat and flour
from abroad, the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish
state, at barely Monday's prices.
Upwards of 17,000 quarters of wheat having arrived
from abroad, the supply of that grain was on the increase.
Most descriptions met a dull inquiry, but we have no
actual change to notice in value. Floating cargoes were
steady.
Barley moved off slowly, on former terms. The malt
trade was steady, at late rates.
Oats moved off freely, on former terms.
Beans, peas, and flour were less active, at last week's
prices.

ComET. Captain J. H. Baillie, of the Queen of Eng-
land, arrived from Port Philip, reports that on the even-
ing of Friday, 29th April last, in lat. 57 S., long. 101
W., saw a comet in a straight line from Procyon,
through Orion's belt, and about 35 degrees from the
latter. The nucleus equal to a star of second magnitude,
and tail about 5 degrees long, pointing to E.N.E. Next
evening, it had moved in aN.N.E. direction, and was
then, about 8 S. of Rigel, a star of (say) fourth magni-
tude showing through the tail. May 1, evidently tra-
velling to N.E. being now 6 E.S.E. of Rigel, but less
clearly defined. May 2, 10 E.N.E. of Rigel, nucleus
now equal in lustre to a star of fourth magnitude. May

in same line, about 4tlegrees from Sirius, and very in-
I distinct, and not seen afterwards,
