THE iMARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN .EXCHANGE.
In the past week there were moderate arrivals of both Grain and
Fbiur, and the trade experienced no variation. This morning there has
been a fair fresh supply of Wheat, and of other Grain moderate. The
weather continuing favourable, causes the dex and for every article to
be slack. The best parcels of ‘V heat obtained the rates of this day
se'smight ; for other qualities there was a dull sale, and rather lower
prices were taken. _Barley, Beans, and Pease met little demand, and are
unchanged in value. The business doing in Oats is to a moderate ex
tent, and prices remain the same as last quoted. The bakers purchas
Flour with much hesitation, at the present prices.

NEWCASTLE COIL'S MARKET.-July 21.

We had again a very small supply of Wheat at this day's Market
from the farmers, as well as moderate coasting arrivals, and our millers
being needy buyers, the trade ruled brisk at an alvanee of 1 s. per quarter
on the prices of last Saturday. We had very little Barley offering, and
higher ra'es were obtained. Though the supply of Oats was small
from the country, the arrivals continue unusually large from the coast,
and the sale dull at our quotations Rye sold on rather better terms,
without

but the demand was by no means brisk. Other Grain remained
change. Flour met a free sale at late prices.

ATrORNEY.GENARAL V. WILSON-JUDGMENT.

The object of this informatiOn was to carry into execution certain
charitable trusts, founded by the Will of Thomas Whitehead. By the
decree it was referred to the Master to settle and approve of the proper
scheme for the management of the charity estates arid the enlargement
of the charity ; for the application of the rents of the estates ; and the
proper regulation of the schools and hospitals; and the Master was to
state such scheme, with his opinion, to the Court, whethdr for the
purpose of effecting such scheme, it might or might not be
' necessary to apply for the aid Of Parliament. By the report
it appeared the relators had propo.-ed us part of their scheme,
that five cottages and certain land should be purchased for any
sum not exe,e,ling 6001. and that on the sic thereof, a schoiol house and'
residence for the master's family should be erected, at; an expense not
exceeding 500/. ; and it was proposed that that report, should be
confirm: d. •
The MASTER of the Ilocta was of opinion that such a purchase would
be contrary to the policy attic stature of George the Second, and the
usual practise of tire Court; therefore it must he referred back to the
Master to provide for those objects in some other manlier.

passes to Ilindostan, at a period when that region was in the height

finally returns to Ilindostan. Thus the author has been able to

the admiration of age and youth in every land, he has succeeded in

FUNERAL OF MR. RIDGWAY.

This morning, the mortal remains of Mr. Ridgway, the
well-known publisher, were conveyed to their last resting-
place. Mr. Ridgway might be termed the patriarch of the
London publishers—for he had reached the advanced age of
84—the greater part of which long period he had been engaged
in the publishing business. He commenced., we believe, as a
news agent, and his operations in this line of business were
at his death very extensive: He entered the trade at that
most interesting era of our history, the closing p art of the
last century, when the light of the succeeding age was but
just glimmering through the darkened political horizon—
when the rising waves of that mighty ocean of knowledge,
which is now overspreading the land, were but beginning
to floe', and the vast power which the press has since ac-
quired was yet in its infancy. The contemporary of Pitt
and Fox, of Burke and Wyndham, and of Wilberforce—Mr.
Ridgway might be considered the last link which con-
nected the literature of the past and present centuries.
During the stormy period of the French Revolution, when
party spirit ra❑ high,"Mr. Ridgway suffered—not for his
own opinions—but for that manly independence which
characterised his life—by holding sacred the trust reposed
in him by others. Rather than divulge the name of
an author, he suffered imprisonment in his own person
for several years. This honourable conduct ensured Mr.
Ridgway the confidence of the most eminent Whigs
through life. In fact, his devotion to th cause of freedom
'and of truth could only be exceeded by his exemplary
private character. •
These circumstances invested his decease with more than
ordinary interest. At one o'clock the hearse left
the residence in Piccadilly, and proceeded towards Chelsea,
the interment being to take place at the Moravian burial-
ground, King's-road. Six mourning coaches followed,
containing the relatives and friends of the deceased
gentleman, who was much esteemed, both for his

HER MAJESTY'S BALL.

The first state ball given by her Majesty, tinCe her accession took
plate last evening, at Buckingham Palace, and was a magnificent fete.
The preparations for the entertainment were of the most extensive des-
cription. A temporary orchestra for Strauss's waltz band was fitted up
on the south side of the ball.room, the regular orchestra affording accom-
modation for only eighteen musicians, and at the cast end a platform,
covered with crimson cloth, was raised across the entire width, for the
reception of her Majesty and the members of her royal family. The
front of the two orchestras, the second being filled by Weippert's qua-
drille band, were hung with similar draperies, with magnificent gold
fringe. The company began setting down shortly before ten, and the
arrivals continued without intermission for more than an hour and a half.
At a quarter-past ten her Majesty entered the first Ball Room,
Weippert's band striking up upon the Queen's entrance " God save the
Queen." Her Majesty was received by the Duke of Sussex, the
Duchess of Gloucester, and other Royal relatives. About twenty
minutes afterwards her Majesty, attended by the Lord Chamberlain and
the Members of the Royal Household, proceeded through the suite of
rooms, receiving the homage of the numerous and distinguished guests,
which her Majesty acknowledged with her customary grace and affability.
Her Majesty opened the ball, and honoured his Royal Highness
Prince George of Cambridge with her hand in the first set of quad-
rilles, the music of which was from Le Domino Noir. Her Majesty
danced with infinite grace and animation. Her Majesty subsequently
proceeded to the north drawing-room, where the Queen's own quadrille
band, under the direction of Mr. Weippert, were stationed in the
orchestra, and performed in admirable style the Royal Serenade Quad-
rilles. Her Majesty danced this set of quadrilles with Viscount Jocelyn,
the eldest son of the Earl of Roden, who was attired in the uniform of
the Rifle Brigade. Most of the company appeared in splendid military
or naval uniforms, and the Ladies in rich Court costumes.

was attired in a magnificent white satin slip, over which was a silver
lama tunic, trimmed with siver white blonde lace ; an agraiffe on either
side with maiden blush roses, studded in the centre with brilliants.
Her Majesty wore on her left arm the insignia of the Order of the
Garter, also the star in brilliants, and the ribbon of the Order. Head-
dress of roses (maiden blush), the centre formed of brilliants, and a
small bandalette confined the whole; diamond drop earrings.
About one o'clock supper was served in the banqueting room. On
each side of this elegant apartment extended a range of tables, set out
with every delicacy and rarity that could be procured. The ornamen-
tal confectionary In the centre of the tables displayed great ingenuity, and
was most admirably executed. The appearance of this room when the
distinguished party were seated, was splendid in the extreme.
The circle, which comprised the Members of the Royal Family, the
Foreign Ambassadors, the Ministers and their Ladies, and 400 of the
leading nobility, seemed to include all that was most lovely and brilliant
in the land. We speak more especially of the ladies, who have never,
perhaps, at any previous first ball, been outnumbered or outshone.
Their dresses, remarkable for their richness and elegance, were all new
for the occasion. The eye of taste could never tire of following the
graceful waving of feathers, and the lustre of countless diamonds.

suffering from an attack of the gout.

edness of the belief spread among them by the agents Of:
Russia and Mehemet Ali as to Great Britain's hostility;

bellious vassal, the Sultan has deemed it prudent not"to
add fresh motives to the Emperor's growing displeasure un-
til he has acquired more valid proofs than those afforded
by these mere demonstrations of England's readiness and
ability to screen him from the consequences of Muscovite:
resentment. The British Admiral has, it is reported,
received an invitation from the Sultan to pay a visit to his
capital.
The French Ambassador had, on the 20th inst., an au-
dience of the Sultan. After presenting the autograph
letter whereby the King of the French announced the birth
of the Comte de Paris, Admiral Roussin explained to his
Highness the reasons which had prevented him from signing
the commercial convention lately concluded between the
Ottoman and the British Governments. The clause in-
serted in that treaty to render its stipulations applicable to
Egypt appeared objectionable to the French Cabinet,
which, ever anxious for the preservation of peace in the
East, saw in the faculty granted to England, depriving the
Governor of that province of the principal source of his
revenues, the unavoidable cause of fresh hostilities between
him and the Sultan.—Times.
