MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY .

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Fur our markets coastwise and by land carriage the
arrivals of English Wheat, last week, were on a very
imited scale. Those of all other articles of home pro-
duce were trifling in the extreme. From Ireland and
Scotland scarcely any grain came to hand. The imports
from abroad were again liberal, viz., 17,161 quarters of
Wheat; 39,250 ditto of Barley; 16,426 ditto of Oats; 2,625
ditto of Rye, 786 ditto of Beans, 4,642 ditto of Peas,
2,267 ditto of Tares, 6,064 ditto of Linseed, 286 ditto
of Rapeseed, 5 ditto of Mustard-seed, 15 ditto of
sundry seeds ; 5,342 barrels, and 1,582 sacks of Flour.
Since the above returns were made up, several
foreign Grain vessels have come to hand, and
rather large imports, should the wind prove
favourable, may be expected this week. Fresh
up this morning the supply of English Wheat was
on a moderate scale, and chiefly from Essex. Generally
speaking, the condition of the samples was improved by
the prevailing somewhat cold weather. The stands
were again scantily filled with samples of Essex, Kent,
and Cambridgeshire Wheats; hence the demand
for most kinds was firm, at fully, but at
nothing quotable beyond the prices paid on this day
se'nnight, and at which a good clearance was effected
without difficulty. The quantity of free foreign Wheat
on show, as the majority of the importers are placing
their fresh arrived cargoes in bond, awaiting
the total abolition of the import duties, was
smaller than for some time past. As the attendance
of country millers (most of whom appeared short of
stock) was good, the demand for all foreign Wheats was
steady, and late rates were well supported in every in-•
stance. The duty is now 8s per quarter. Bonded par-
cels and floating cargoes were quite neglected, and,
consequently, nominal ix value. The immense imports of
foreign Barley had a depressing effect upon the trade
for that article, and prices gave way quite is per
quarter. In English Barley exceedingly little business
was doing, at the above decline. We were scantily sup-
plied with Malt, nevertheless the Malt trade was in a
very inactive state at barely last week's quotations. The
quantity of Oats on offer was by no means large. Se-
lected samples sold to a fair extent at full prices.
In the middling and inferior kinds exceedingly
little business was doing. All kinds of Beans were very
dull; in prices, however, we have no actual fall to
notice. Peas were heavy, and rather easier to purchase.
The transactions in Indian Corn and Meal were confined
to retail parcels. Flour was a slow sale, at late rates.

The arrivals at the northern outpoi ts have been confined
to about 600 head of beasts and sheep, almost wholly
from Holland. There were on sale in to-day's market
140 oxen from Spain, a very unusual addition to the
supply at this period of the year, in very inferior condi-
tion. With Beasts, Sheep, and Calves, from Holland
and Germany, we were very scantily supplied. From
our principal grazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably good as to num-
ber, and of fair average quality. Notwithstanding the
attendance of both town and country buyers was good,
and the weather decidedly favourable for slaughtering,
the Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at Friday's
deprt.s,ion in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, and at which
a total clearance was not effected. The highest llgure
for the best Scots was 4s 2d per 81bs. From Lincoln-
shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, including
Warwickshire, we received about 2,000 short-horns ;
from the eastern, western, and midland counties, 800
Herefords; runts, Devons, Scots, &c., from other parts
of England, 300 of various breeds; and from Scotland,
120 horned and polled Scots. There was a considerable
increase in the supply of Sheep, owing to which the de-
mand for that description of stock was heavy, at a de-
cline in the prices of Monday last of quite 2d per
81bs. The extreme currency for the best old
Downs was from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 81bs. Half-
breds and long wools were particularly dull. Al-
though the supply of Calves was limited, the Veal trade
ruled dull; bat we have no further decline to notice in
prices. We have to report a slight improvement in the
demand for the best Pigs, at full currencies. Otherwise
the Pork trade was dull. To show the extent of the
heaviness of the trade in to-day's market, we may ob-
serve that Beef was selling at from 2d to 10d, Mutton
6d, Veal 10d, and Pork 2d to 4d per Sibs lower than at
the corresponding period in 1848.

INTETATGILICZI AND ILEALDENICALT...
Since this day s,.fnnight the arrivals of country-killed
Bleat for these merkets have been on a very limited
scale, the time of year considered. The supplies on
offer, slaughtered in the metropolis, have been small.
Still, however, the general demand has ruled heavy, and
prices have nut been supported. Scarcely any carcases
of foreign meat have appeared on sale, and only four
baskets of Beef have come to hand from Hamburgh.
This morning there was a slight improvement in the
trade, on the following terms:—

nonouGn HOP MARKET.
There is a slight improvement to notice in the demand
for the best new Hops, in pockets, at fully last week's
quotations. The inferior kinds of new, as well as old,
Hops are very dull in sale. New Hops:—Sussex
pockets, 215 s to 2118 s; Weald of Kent ditto, 21 8s to
3/ 5s ; Mid and East ditto, 21 12s to Si 17s per cwt.

DOILOUGE. AND SPITALFXELDS.
These markets are heavily supplied with Potatoes
from our own coasts, as well as from Scotland and
abroad. Their quality, however, is not to say first rate.
The trade generally is dull, at drooping prices. The
Importations last week consisted of 36 tons from Corotoi,
380 ditto from Rouen, 300 ditto from .Antwerp, 82 ditto
from Ghent, 100 ditto from Calais, 232 backs from
Havre, 400 tons from Dunkirk, 124 ditto from Rotter-
dam, 156 ditto from llamburgh, 6 ditto from St. Valery,
and 50 ditto from Estebrugge. Yorkshire Regents,

Since ouf last report this market, from the heavy
stock of fureiga and homemade Tallow, has ruled ex-

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
CIRQUE NATIONAL DE PARIS.
The Olympic games, as instituted by the Greeks,
orisinating in their fine perception of all that was beau•
tiful in poetry, painting, sculpture, and music, together
with their love of beautiful form, became a principle in
their religion, end the result was their being enabled to
produce such extraordinary efforts in the various
branches of the fine arts. Whilst the more savage and
bloody amusements of the Romans outrage and shock
our feelings of humanity, we find the Greeks occupying
themselves by the innocent and delightful objects sought
after in their games. They contended for glory by the
peaceful arts, and chariot racing, running, wrestling,
throwing the discus, gymnastics, acts of strength and
feats of agility, were among the recreations of the peo-
ple; and if they were compelled, by less peacefully dis-
posed. neighbours, to war in defence, their peace was
celebrated by these games, which contributed so much
to domestic happiness and joy. These reflections have
been elicited by witnessing the truly excellent company
of equestrians of M. Dejean, and we wish to point out to
our readers that they behold in them the true spirit of
the Olympic games of Greece revived in modern days.
We must also observe that the perfect air of re-
spectability that pt reticles the entire establishment
of this gentleman, in dress and manner, leaves
nothing to be desired for the most fastidious
taste. All is elegant and unique in its way, and,
to crown the charm, a total absence of all that
vulgarity which is associated with our early recollections
of circus performances. The theatre has been converted,
with much skill and taste, into a perfect amphitheatre;
the entire performance taking place in the arena, which
was the true character of those ancient places of amuse-
ment. We have a vivid recollection of Ducrow's per-
formances (who received his education at Franconys),
and the dramatic power of feeling which he threw into
all his parts, must be in the remembrance of our readers.
There was genius in all he did, and it is no more than a
common act of justice to say, without any disparage.
ment, that although there is no one member of this com-
pany who can be said to be his superior or equal, yet,
as a whole, the troop of M. Dejean stands unrivalled in
power, excellence, variety, and the indescribable elegance
of the entire arrangement. The performances during
the past week have been well attended, and most warmly
received. We shall occasionally give notices of the va-
rious members and their exciting performances. Madlle.
Caroline and Madlle. Anato are the two female artistes
who merit the most attention from the public, and in
noticing them first, we are only guided by the voice of
the public. Madlle. Caroline exhibits in a style of riding
sitting in the saddle. She is a fine-looking woman, with
a beautiful figure, which she carries with much noble-
ness. She sits on the horse as if she were, centaur-like,
a part of the animal itself. Whether the steed rears,
plunges, capers, wheels suddenly round, leaps bars, gal-
!cps, or suddenly stops—there she sits as if it were pas-
time to her. Nay, such is her skill, that when you
think the horse, from his wildness of action,
must certainly throw her, you see her smile, and are
relieved from the anxiety by finding that it is the most
consummate skill of the rider. Jupiter, one of the horses
she generally appears upon, is a beautiful creature, white,
with a very intelligent head. He is an Irish animal, and
his action most extraordinarily stag•like, plunging
forward and striking out at the same time with his hind
legs, in fearful style. Ruse, another hcrse she rides,
is the most noble animal in the stud—a light grey in
colour, with dark touches in the main, tail, and legs—a
charger in figure with the bow neck of the war-horse.
He has a wildness of action which is very fine, and paws
the earth with his fore-feet. This fine animal was a
present from the Emperor of Russia, and was not to be
trained for the service of the army ; but Franconi has
succeeded in training him. Mademoiselle Caroline gene-
rally wears a handsome costume of black velvet and
crimson riding habit, which contrasts well with the
colour of the steeds. Her stele of riding exceeds anything
of the kind we ever beheld. She sits with peerless ma-
jesty upon the herse, with a dignity worthy of a Queen
of Amazons. Mademoiselle Palmyre Anato has a
style and genius peculiar to her alone. In her
is combined the true female artiste ecuyere
to perfection. She mounts on the saddle on tip-
toe, and becomes inspired, acting in the most
sylph-like style and ariel lightness. The perfectly ex-
quisite and finished manner in which she executes her
beauty ~u 1 poses, and the elegance of her celebrated pas,
has gained for her the title of the Taglioni of Eques-
trians. The unapproachable lightness of her spring—
the neatness, rapidity, and precision of her gazelle-like
bounds over the scarfs and through the hoops, never
fails to call forth the most enthusiastic applause of the
audience, and she is nightly recalled. To considerable
beauty of person she unites much elegance, and a mo-
desty of demeanour which wins the favour of the audi-
ence. Her manner of dressing her person (which is
little in need of ornament) is in the most chaste order of
fine taste, and embraces a pleasing variety—from the
pure white or the delicate pink, to the more dashing
crimson ribbons and boddice—a crimson rose, or an ele.
gant gold netting to tie her hair in the Grecian style.
She takes her rank as the first female equestrian in
Europe. The horse " Norma," on which she generally
appears, is of a handsome dun-colour, with fine dark
main, tail and legs, and is richly caparisoned; and his
steady-going pace is admirably adapted to the exquisite
finished riding of this fair Italian.
