THE COUISITIi:Y MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, APRIL s.—The arrivals 01
English and foreign wheat at this day's market are large ; the
demand, however, is limited, and prices in favour of the buyer.
Fine barley supports previous rates; inferior parcels difficult
to sell. Other articles as before.
ARRIVALS.
Wheat, 20,136 qrs. ; barley, 6,503 qrs. • oats, 915 qrs. ;
peas, 95 qrs. ; and beans, 2,26'3 qrs.
BIRMINGLIA3I, APRIL 4.—At Gloucester market on the
31st wheat ruled dull, with the turn in favour of the buyer, on
foreign ; whilst English, being comparatively scarce, was not
lower. At Worcester, no alteration took place in the value of
any description. Barley rather cheaper. Fine oats as dear.
Secondary neglected. A few speculative sales of beans and
peas were reported. During the present week a fair business
has been done in wheat at former p: ices. Barley of all kinds
neglected. Oats can only be disposed of by submitting to a
reducticn, with which holders will not comply. Beans held
for previous rates, which prevents anything being done, except
in retail. Some considerable parcels of peas have changed
hands at from 103 6d to lis per 196 b. This day's market was
well supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled dull for all kinds,
except white, but lower prices were not submitted to. The
better qualities of barley were rather more inquired for. Oats
sold slowly at about former currency. Beans again rather
cheaper. Afore doing in peas.
GLASOGW, APRIL 4.—We have had fair supplies during
the week, consisting (with the exception of about 1,137 quar-
ters of oats, 532 sacks of flour, and 1,640 loads of oatmeal from
Ireland) of about 6,000 quarters of wheat, 1,000 quarters of
barley, 2,260 quarters of beans, 664 quarters of peas, 5,100
sacks and 5,516 barrels of flour, 3,183 quarters of Indian corn,
500 barrels of Indian meal, and 101 quarters of rye, all from
abroad. The foreign arrivals at Grangemouth amounted to
11,837 quarters of wheat, 5,069 quarters of barley, 2,95 quar-
ters of beans, 1,105 quarters of peas, and 7,492 sacks of flour.
Under the influx of such liberal importations. some of which
go direct into the hands of consumers, and others being pressed
for sale ex ship, trade ruled flat, and prices were easier for all
foreign articles, Indian corn excepted, which maintained its
value. Home-grown wheat being in very small supply, com-
manded a slight advance ; and home-grown oats and meal
thereof were a somewhat better sale. This day's market was
well attended by town and country buyers, who, however,
evinced little disposition to act, and the few sales effected were
of—wheat at a decline of 6d. per 2401 b. for the inferior de-
scriptions of foreign of the last crop, the better kinds being held
at the currency of this day week. Barley and rye unaltered.
Oats, for feeding, a fair sale ; grinding sorts neglected. Beans
and peas in moderate retail demand, without change in value.
Indian corn in good inquiry, and the market nearly cleared
thereof, at fully last Wednesday's terms.

good, yet the demand was very flat. The show of fat and store

reach
Lincoln at one o clock : he will be there re-
ceived
Corporation, and conducted in a carriage
by
to th Cornthe Exchange, where he will receive the ad-
dress of the Municipality, and then proceed to see the
Cathedral and the other interesting antiquiti.2s of the
city. Probably the Prince will be thus occupied for an
hour and a half. He will then go on to Brccklesby sta-
tion by special train, and at Brocklesby he will receive the
address of the Boston Corporation. On the 18th his Royal
Highness will leave Brocklesby, and proceed by rail to
Grimsby; and atter receiving an address from the Cor-
poration of that borough, he will inspect the vast works
at the docks, and then perform the ci remony of laying
the first stone. This done, he will partake of lunch in a
large building calculated to hold 700 to 800 people. At
four o'clock he will leave Grimsby by a special train,
and go by way of the East Lincolnshire, the Great
Northern, and the North-Western railways, to Euston-
square. As ho will not stop anywhere on his return,
parties thsirous of seeing his Royal Highness will do
well to visit Grimsby, where, we hear, there will be
accomodation for many thousands of spectators.—Stam-
ford Mercury.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] - Holloway's Ointment and
Pitts again Triumphant in the Cure of a Bad Leg of
Ten Years' Duration.—Extract of a letter froth Mr.
Harris, Alne llill, Alcestor, March 14, 1849, to Pro-
fessor Holloway. Sir: I suffered for upwards of ten years
with a bad leg, in which were five running sores, and
although I tried various methods of treatment as pre-
scribed by different medical men, still it got worse.
Seeing in the newspapers notices of the cures your va-
luable medicines have performed, I determined on trying
them, and by their use, and the blessing of God, a per-
fect cure of my leg was effected six months ago. Sold
by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

QUEEN'S THEATRE.—HULL, APRIL s.—The per-
formances last evening were under the patronage of the
tradesmen of hull, when Bulwer's celebrated play of
Money brought out Miss Goddard as Clara and Mr. E.
Graham as Evelyn, both of whom were loudly called
for at the close of the play, and received well-merited
applause. After which, was performed a Ballet Diver-
tisement of the seasons, introducing a grand allegorical
pageant of the " Restoration of Charles the Second,"
which had a magnificent effect. Crouch's operatta of
Jeannette and Jeannot concluded the evening's entertain-
ments : this piece, which has often received the plaudits
of a Hull audience, did not on this occasion suffer froi32
any lack of applause. Macbeth, which was produee' xt
this theatre on Monday lust in a style hitherto uaknown
in the provinces, is announced for repetition next week.
BILLINGIIAL—Six months since, a reading-room
was temporarily opened here, to try how such an inno-
vation would be received in the fens of Lincolcshire, once

(though happily long ago) the abode only of a reckless,
half-amphibious population. The attempt has met with
encouragement and support, and an institution has now
become permanently established, under the title of
" The Billinghay Reading-rooms and Public Library,"
Already the
members have had the advantage of twol, •c-
tures—one, with interesting experiments, on eleetrid ty,
by the Rev. E. dw. Jenkins; the second, delivered;.
cu
Thursday evening, the 29th ult., by Mr. W. Anders
on the history of literature and literary instituti'oonns.'
During the ensuing winter, a regular course of lcr:tures
will be given.—Astatrifyrd Mercury-.
