MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

SIVIITIIPIELD.
This being the great Lamb market for the season,
the supply of that description of stock on sale was sea-
sonably good, but not so extensive as at some corres-
ponding periods of the year, the number being about
3,500 head. As the attendance of buyers was
numerous, the Lamb trade ruled brisk, at an
advance in the quotations of (rite 2d per 81bs,
the currencies ruling from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per
81bs. We were but moderately supplied with Sheep;
nevertheless the mutton trade was heavy at barely
Monday's prices, the highest figure for the best old
Downs, in the wool, being 4s 4d per 81bs. The
supply of Beasts was large, while the sale for them
was in a very depressed state at almost nominal fi-
gures. Calves and pigs met a slow inquiry at late
rates. Milch Cows were held at from 141 to 181
each, including their small calf.

COLONIAL MARKETS.
SUGAR. —An improved business has been done in most
descriptions, and the market closed very firmly last
evening, to be re-opened on Wednesday next. Efoldei.s
of British Plantation are very firm, and have not brought
forward much. This has given support to the prices.

quotations, to 6d advance in some cases, fine yellow 40s
to 41s, mid and good 38s 64 to 40s , low at 37s to

to a slight advance. Benares, ord and mid white 40s

consumption takes place. Two cargoes Oranges ex
Onward and Galatea from St. Michael's, one, ex Helen,
from Oporto, and a cargo of Lemons, ex Farmer, from
Messina, sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale. The
two first cargoes went at an advance of 2s per box ; the
cargoes from Oporto were out of condition; and the Le-
mons of sound condition sustained the price obtained of
late. Barcelona Nuts were held firmly at a shilling per
bag advance. Black Spanish 2s per barrel cheaper.
Chesnuts cleared off the market. Brazil scarce, and 2s
per barrel higher.

Mrs. Nisbett and Miss Jane Mordaunt have just
concluded a most successful engagement at Edinburgh,
both these talented actresses having established them-
selves high in favour with the playgoers of our northern
capital. Mrs. Nisbett had a benefit last Thursday, play.
in.. (assisted by her sister) in the Love Chase and the
Soldier's Daughter, and the crowded state of the Theatre
Royal testified how many friends and admirers this ac-
complished artiste had won, even during this her brief
sojourn. Miss Jane Mordaunt took her benefit on Sa-
turday; and, with other entertainments, the pieces Clari
and the Dream at Sea were selected, both of which gave
great seope for the talents of both the sisters, each being
celebrated in her respective role. But we are sorry to
hear that Mrs. Nisbett was taken so seriously unwell on
Friday as to prevent her playing on that or the following
night. Notwithstandieg, however, this serious disap-
pointment, the fair beneficiare had a bumper to welcome
her. Mrs. Nisbett, by our last accounts, was fast re•
covering, and the sisters were to start immediately for
Newcastle-on-Tyne, being engaged to play there during
the Easter week. After fulfilling some few other en-
gagernents in the north, they will return to London, and,
it is said, both appear at one of our metropolitan theatres
in a new five-act play, expressly written for them by
one of our most successful dramatic authors.
Tn Om( FARM IRON WORKS.—BIRMINGHAM,
THURSDAY.—These extensive works, near Stourbridge,
were sold to day at Dee's Royal Hotel, in this town, to
the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone (through Mr. Fresh-
field, solicitor) for 36,000/. Mr. Gladstone has a lien
upon the nutchinery for 20,000/. ; but this does not form
any ingredient in the sale of the leasehold (eighteen
years) purchase.
WEITHER.—We have had one of the finest
sued titaLs Within the memory of the most '
farmers; the long-continued drought allowing all kinds
of grain to be put into the ground under the most
favourable circutestoces.—Derby Mercury.
