C AL MARKETS.
These Markets are now inLONI a state of great uncertainty as to prices,
and there is no knowing what a sale may bring forth—we are led to hope
that this is their turning point, but this remains to be seen. There was
yesterday and on Saturday a better disposition shown to purchase, and
the sales to-day were rather heavy. They consisted of a large public
sale of Barbadoes Sugar, 7,433 bags of Mauritius Sugar, some
Brazil and Berbice Coffee, Pimento, Pepper, and Saltpetre.
Sugar was selling at firm prices when we left, and there
appeared to be an impression that it would be higher.
Saltpetre was not lively. Spices remain much as before. There ap
pears to be no alternative left to the buyers but that they must come
into the market ; their stocks must be very low. Cinnamon fetches
at public sale rather more than it did at last public sale,
and sells with more spirit. Coffee to-day 1,213 bags Bra-
zil, 150 cks. Berbice, 18 els. and 42 brls. 8.P., and 100 bales Mocha
sold rather Bather flatly and but in part; prices were, however, firm.
The Tea that sells now fetches about sale prices, and so do the f..yiv sales
of Indigo that take place. Refined Sugar is firmer, and fine crushed is
345. On the whole we may say that there is a little more business doing
in Colonial produce than for some time past. The Imposts now are
not heavy.

)entiey's Miscellany" for May contains a mas-
,:erly piece of humour from Ingoldsby, called " The Lay of St.
Nicholas," which every body should read. Cruikshank's illustration of
it is worthy of this great artist.
It is not generally known that Lablache is the
present instructor of her Majesty in singing.
DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.--A girl named Eliza
Stephens was on Sunday evening discovered on the Sandling-road in a
state of insensibility, which is supposed to have been caused by having
taken some deleterious preparation. Picees of tobacco pipe had also
been thrust into her mouth, and when she was brought to the shop of
Mr. Allen, surgeon, of Maidstone, she remained an hour before she be-
came conscious of her situation. She then ejected from her stomach
two pieces of tobacco pipe, of the respective lengths of an inch and half
an inch. Other pieces remained in her throat, and were forced into
the stomach to prevent suffocation. We do not hear that any per-
son has been apprehended for this superlatively brutal outrage.—Kent
Herald.

THEATRICAL PROSPECTS IN AUSTRALIA
We are happy to find that• that industrious and meritorious artist, Mr.
Meredith, by his active management, has opened the present campaign
with every prospect of complete success. The arrangements made during
the recess" for the accommodation of the respectable inhabitants
enable them, with their families, to enjoy the intellectual entertainments
of the theatre with comfort and convenience. The company, which is
highly effective, work well together, and the orchestra, under the scion.
tific management of the veteran M'Cleod, affords to the lovers of har-
mony much gratification. We trust that the theatre, now that it is so
respectably conducted, will receive the patronage of a liberal public.—
Australian Review.
The adjourned discussion on the merits of the New
Poor-law, was resumed on Tuesday evening, in the theatre.—Bolton
Free Press.

A meeting is to be held in the Assembly-rooms,
Edinburgh, on Friday, to memorialise Government on the subject of
endowments for the religious destitution in large towns.
CANADA.—It is rumoured, under date of March
26, from Nova Scotia, that there are appearances within the Vermont
frontier of the United States which have given Sir John Colborne no
small uneasiness, and induced him to send for more troops—in fact, for
whatever could be spared from the provinces south-east of the St.
Lawrence. The 93d, just arrived out, was to proceed in the Pique
frigate as far as the ice would admit of, and then the regiment was to
be passed on in steamers towards Quebec. A considerable assemblage
of republicans on the Vermont side of the line, for the declared pur-
pose of attacking Lower Canada, is stated to have been the circumstance
which chiefly engaged the British General's attention; at the same time
it is necessary to add, that facts have transpired which impose upon the
Ministers of Queen Victoria the duty of requiring explanations from
the President of the United States more full and satisfactory than any
which have yet heal demanded or afforded.--Morning Paper.
