MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The present week's arrival of English Wheat for our
market, coastwise, has been confined to 1,830 quarters,
chiefly from Essex and Kent. By land carriage, the
receipts have been very small. The show of samples of
both red and white here this morning, was limited ;
nevertheless, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home
produce was excessively heavy, at barely Monday's
reduction in the quotations. The imports of Foreign
Wheat have amounted to 7,550 quarters, mostly from the
Black Sea. In this article, very few sales took place,
and the inferior qualities were is. per quarter lower to
purchase. In cargoes afloat, nothing doing. Grinding
barley ruled very dull, at drooping currencies. Malting
and distilling sorts commanded very litilo attention.
Although the show of Malt was not large, the sale for
that article was somewhat heavy, on somewhat lower
terms. Notwithstanding that the supply of Foreign
Oats was good, the oat trade was steady, and prices were
well supported. Beans were dull, and is per quarter
lower than last week. New Grey Peas went off slowly,
at is to 2s per quarter less money. Indian Corn, Meal,
and Flour, were offering freely, at Monday's decline.

SMITHFIELD.
Notwithstanding that our market, to-day, was very
moderately supplied with beasts, the demand for that
description of stock was extremely inactive, and, in some
instances, price's ruled 2d per 81bs lower than on Monday,
at which decline, a clearance was with difficulty effected.
The numbers of Sheep were seasonably large, and of
fair average quality. Most breeds moved off steadily,
at fully last week's prices—the primest old Downs pro-
ducing 4s per 81bs. There was a slight improvement in
the sale for Lambs—the supply of which was good—at
full rates of currency—the top figure being 5s per 81bs.
Prime small Calves moved off freely, at full prices. In
other kinds of Veal, next to nothing was doing. The
sale for Pigs ruled heavy, at our quotations. Milch
Cows were quoted at from 141 to 181 each, including
their small Calf.

On the whole the demand for such descriptions is
steady, at fully last week's quotations. In the middling

COLONIAL.

firmer, with a fairer business doing. Thirbadoes by auc-
tion realised 39s to 40s Gd for good and fine yellow,

fine chrystalized, and at 43s to 44s 6d for good. Refined

35s to 383 for mid soft yellow. Mauritius has

been bought in at 37s 6d to 41s 6d. Porto Rico,

EAST LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY.
(THIS DAY.)
The usual half-yearly general meeting of the pro-
prietors of the above line was held this morning at
the Great Northern-offices in Moorgate-street. Mr.
George Hussey I'acke, chairman of the board of
directors, in the chair.
The report of the directors stated that the Act of
Incorporation of the company requires ordinary
meetings of the shareholders to be held twice a year,
in the months of February and August ; but the
lease of the line to the Great Northern Railway Com-
pany having taken out of the hands of the directors
all share in the management of the working of
the railway, the business to be done at these half-
yearly meetings must necessarily be of the most
formal character. The directors congratulate the
shareholders in their having received last month the
first full half-year's dividend of the rent; and have
further the pleasure of reporting that the whole of the
works on the line continue in the most satisfactory
state. The capital of the company has been fully
paid up, and in the annexed statement of accounts,
the proprietors will find the various items of expen-
diture in the construction of the line.
The balance sheet represented the total receipts up
to the present time to amount to-643,3861. Bs. 9d.,
while the expenditure amounted to 646,045/. 16s. 7d.,
leaving a balance of 2,6591. 7s. 101 due to the
bankers.

The CHAIRMAN said he should be happy to answer
any questions if the proprietors present required any
information on the subject of the line. ut
—e might
add that within the last ten days he had been over
the line, and found it in a most efficient state, while
he was glad to inform the shareholders that the re-
ceipts were gradually increasing.
The report was then adopted, and thanks having
been voted to the Chairman and directors, the meet-
ing terminated.

We cannot refrain from calling the attention of the
public to the treat which awaits them at the Royal
Surrey Zoological Gardens on Monday next ; we can
fully assert, that so much excellence, at su3h a charge
was never before presented to them.
EGYPT.—SMYRNA, JULY 23.—Intelligence has been
received here from Alexandria, that a fearful fire which
took place there will occasion the State a loss of forty
millions of piastres. Abbees Pacha is still at Cairo,
whither his mother lately returned from Constantinople.
The sons of Mahound Ali, who is perhaps already dead,
since be was dangerously ill when the post quitted, are,
together with the sons of Ibrahim Pacha, now at Cairo;
they are the best hostages for Abbees Pacha.
Sir John Jervis, her Majesty's Attorney-General,
accompanied by his son, embarked at Blackwell yester-
day morning on board the General Steam Navigation
company's stoant-ship Soho, for Antwerp.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Last evening Donizetti's chef d'oeuvre, Don Pas-
quale, was performed with the same cast as on its
first performance this season, save that F. Lablache
appeared as Dr. Malatesta in the room of Beletti,
who had been taken suddenly ill. An apology was
made, and indulgence asked for F. Lablache, on the
score of the very short notice at which he had un-
dertaken the part; but certainly the indulgence was
not needed, for never have we heard the
music better sung, or seen the part better
performed than it was last evening by F. Lablache,
who is one of the most accomplished musicians and
one of the best barritones on the stage. The only
fault of F. Lablache is his excessive modesty, which
prevents him from putting himself forward—a fault
with which few of his contemporaries can be charged.
His Dr. Malatesta last evening was admirable.
Lablache, as the Don, was more full of rollicking,
rich, unctions humour than ever, and Alboni's
Nerissa was a most espiegle piece of acting.
She seemed thoroughly to enjoy the fun of
the part. She was in excellent voice, and sang
the music deliciously. She gave as the finale
Belle's finale to the Maid of Artois—" With rapture
dwelling." Her performance of this delightful air
was perfect, her fine rich tones told most effectively,
and she was rapturously encored. Calzolari,
who was the Ernesti, was also honoured
with an encore in his serenade, and the
fine quartette in the second act, which was magnifi-
cently rendered by Alboni, Calzolari, and the La-
blache's pere et fils, was also encored. We have
never heard this magnificent quartette more perfectly
given. The performers were all called on at the end
of the second act and again at the conclusion of the
opera. That most delightful and original
of ballets Les Plaisirs d Hiver, which seems
to increase in attraction every night of its
performance, concluded the evening's amusement.
Carolina Rosati danced her two pas with exquisite
grace and neatness, and M. Charles, the skaiter, was
most quaint and amusing. The Quadrille des
Pateneurs went off with great spirit. The greater por-
tion of the audience remained until the conclusion
of the ballet, a proof of its great attractions.

" If the Hungarians and the Hungarian constitu-
tion be crushed, what defenders of legality and
rational civil self-government will be left in Central
and Eastern Europe ? The tendencies of the mili-
tary despotism which is at present predominant, are
no less levelling than those of the most unbridled
ochlocracy; no ;less opposed to all free action of
individuals or of corporations. But how long can
this military despotism last ? It can only be sup-
ported by numerous armies of soldiers, and hardly
less numerous armies of paid civil functionaries.
In proportion as the number of unproductive con-
sumers increases, so do not merely the numbers but
the energies of the producers diminish; as the bur-
dens become heavier, the capacity of bearing them
becomes less. This state of things leads to a na-
tional bankruptcy (a consummation from which
Austria is not far distant for the third time within
the last forty years); to the most frightful social
convulsions; to a war of proletaires against those
who still possess property ; and to a scene of uni-
versal disorder, of which no man can tell the end.
The people of most continental countries have lost the
habits and traditions of self-government, together
with their chartered liberties ; the Hungarians have
maintained these habits and their prescriptive rights
through good and evil times. In their defence they
have poured out their blood like water, not merely
now, but in bygone ages. One Hungarian genera-
tion has handed down to another the torch of consti•
tutional liberty, for the benefit not merely of them-
selves, but of the world. Such a nation the real
Conservative must wish to see, not simply saved from
annihilation, but taking a prominent part in the
affairs of the Continent ; as a model of rational go-
vernment and a guarantee for the maintenance of
order and security to the east of Europe."
The following is a copy of the requisition :
"TO THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR Or THE BOROUGH

THE QUEEN IN DUBLIN.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNING.
I The weather is not exactly such as offers an assur-
ance of a fine day. Light rain has been falling this
morning, but it is not unlikely that it may he fair.
At ten o'clock her Majesty will in all probability be
at the review in the Phoenix Park, towards which
agreeable locality flocks of pedestrians from all parts
of Dublin are now wending their way. There is no
getting an outside car for love—no one ever got an
Irish car for that—and certainly more than double
the usual fares will tempt the drivers to confess they
are not " engaged." This is the way the Dublin
carmen manage to drive their act of parliament. The
moment you come up to their notion of the value of a
car on an occasion of this kind, your former "engage-
ments" are cancelled, with well-affected signs of
compunction—with a " Lord forgive us."

THE CORPORATION ADDRESS.
The following are copies of the corporation address
presented to her Majesty at the levee yesterday, with
the reply :

" TO HER MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY THE QUEEN.
"THE HUMBLE ♦ND DUTIFUL ADDRESS OF THE LORD

MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND BURGESSES OF DUBLIN.
" May it please your Majesty,—We the Lord Mayor,
aldermen, and burgesses of your ancient and loyal city
of Dublin approach your Majesty with feelings of un-
mingled joy and gratification at your Majesty's arrival
in this the second city of your Majesty's vast empire.
"Afflicted by Providence with a heavy ♦isitation, we
entertain the hope that our day of trial is passing away,
and that the auspicious visit of your Majesty may be the
harbinger of happiness and prosperity to Ireland, and
that a people faithful to a proverb, and conversant with
your Majesty's kind feelings towards them, may long
have an opportunity of admiring those exalted virtues,
which alike shed lustre on your throne and adorn your
private circle.
"It is a further source of gratification to us, that your
Majesty is on this occasion accompanied by your family,
and we feel assured that your Majesty will endue the
minds of the Prince of Wales and your Royal children
with those sentiments of affection and regard towards
this country which your Majesty has always entertained.
" That your Majesty may often repeat your visit; that
your domestic circle—joyful and happy as it is—may
long continue so, will be our anxious prayer; and, feel
assured, whether visited by disease and afflicted by
famine, or living in the prospect of a more happy future,
the Irish people (of a portion of whom we are the re-
presentatives) will alike ever cherish feelings of un-
bounded love, of ardent loyalty, and enthusiastic affec•
tion towards your Majesty's most sacred person and
throne."

HER MAJESTY'S REPLY.

"It affords me sincere pleasure to receive your ad-
dress in my ancient and loyal city of Dublin, and I gladly
avail myself of this occasion to express my grateful
acknowledgments for the ardent affection and loyalty
with which my arrival here has been hailed.
"It is a great gratification to me to have been accom-
panied by my children, as the scenes they have wit-
nessed within the last few days cannot fail to impress
them with sentiments of regard and attachment to the
generous and warm-hearted people by whom they have
been surrounded.

" I gladly share with you the hope, that the heavy
calamity with which Providence has recently visited
large numbers of my people in this country is passing
away. I have felt deeply for their sufferings, and it will
be a source of heartfelt satisfaction to me if lam per-
mitted to witness the future and laaing prosperity of
this portion of the United Kingdom."
THE CORPORATION ADDRESS TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
. _

ALBERT, PRINCE CONSORT.
" We, the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of
Dublin, beg permission to offer to your Royal Highness
our sincere congratulations on the present auspicious oc-
casion of your arrival in Ireland.
" We have already tendered to your Royal Highness
our assurance of the deep interest we have ever taken in
your Royal Highness's happiness and welfare.
"Always an object of deferential regard, as the con-
sort of our most Gracious Sovereign, we have observed
with feelings of pleasure the marked progress which
your Royal Highness has made in the confidence and
affection of all classes of her Majesty's subjects.
" Wisely abstaining from all courses which would sub-
ject your Royal Highness's actions to cavil or misrepre-
sentation, you have at all times been the ready and judi-
cious patron and promoter of every art, science, and un-
dertaking tending to advance the prosperity, elevate the
character, and enlarge the happiness of every class of the
people.
" In conclusion, and in the name of a warm-hearted
and loyal people, we humbly implore the Great Giver of
all good that He may endow with every blessing her
most Gracious Majesty, your Royal Highness, and the
youthful members of the Royal Family, and to grant that
the glorious event of her Majesty's vi,it may be the pre-
cursor of happier days and brighter prospects for our
native land."

CITY ILLUMINATIONS.
The gas illuminations at the College and several
public institutions and private establishments were con-
tinued last evening. The night was very mild and fine,
and the streets had the usual throng of spectators, all
partaking of the general joy so universally diffused
amongst all classes by the presence of Majesty.

REJOICINGS AT KINGSTOWN.
The fireworks at Kingstown harbour last evening at-
tracted groups of fashionables, and the Royal St. George
Yacht Club accommodated a great many of the elite of
the neighbourhood to witness the joyous display in ho.
nour of her Majesty's visit. At half-past nine o'clock
tha harbour was lit up with the brilliant blue and
crimson lights reflected on the water from the principal
yachts in the harbour, and from the lower esplanade of
the Club House, and also from the Commissioners'
Yard, rockets and the several varieties of artificial light
were freely supplied; and although the atmoqthere was
so heavy as to check the extreme upward progress of th&
fireworks, the whole passed off with eclat.

DEPARTURE OF THE QUEEN FOR

COUPAR-ANGUS.

We understand that a document; has been received
by the officials of the Scottish Midland Junction
Railway Company from Sir George Grey, Secntary
of State for the Home Department, announcing the
fact of the intention of her Majesty landing at the
terminus here; and making inquiry as to the extent
of accommodation which could be afforded for this
purpose at the station. Sir George has been in-
formed that ample accommodation will be
afforded. Her Majesty and suite will, on
their arrival, post on by way of Blairgow-
rie, Bridge of Cally, Spittal of Glenshee, and thence
to Balmoral. Considerable alterations are to be made
immediately at the terminus here, and we doubt not
but that everything will be done in a style befitting
the auspicious occasion. Arrangements are entered
into for the posting from the station here to Balmoral,
and vice versa, of the messengers in charge of the
official dispatches and correspondence of the Court,
on their arrival to and from London. The arrange.
ments are entered into by the parties of the posting
establishments on the line of road, viz., Mr. Ross,

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.
The still waters lay in their loveliness sleeping,
The last rose of sunset scarce rock'd into rest,
The stars on their bosom like restless eyes peeping,
Exchanging love looks with yon home of the blest,
The harbour watch kindled—the vesper chimes o'er,
And evening's soft shadows encircling the shore.
E'en the seethe of the wavelet that breaks on the sand,
Like a fountain of diamonds came hushed, as it were
Some watcher's lone lullaby faint from the strand,
Or a vestal voice chaunting in solitude there.
Not a leaf did the south wind awake in the grove,
So tranquil that eve were the precincts of Cove.
But see to the northward a signal light lifted,
Is tossed by the night-breeze on high Trabolgan,
And now from Fort Cambden and Fort Carlisle drifted,
The lightning-tongued answers like magic words ran.
Aroused are the sleepers—astir is the bay—
What stands in the offing where dusk streamers play?
0 joy for thee, Erin, old poet-sung isle!
Forgot be thy long night of sorrow and gloom,
Thy Sov'reign has sought thee to bless with her smile,
And leave on thy wan check some token of bloom.
'Tis she is approaching, the loved Island Queen.
Her name the bright spell-word that hallows the scene.
Like a glad resurrection al Erin rejoices
The noble in patience--now noble in love•,
Thru' her tears she is smiling, her children's hushed voices
Unloosed in glad music her lorn hills above.
Deep, deep, was her lament, yet deeper the cry
She lifts up exulting with happiness by.
The blue hills of Wicklow, the Dalkey, the Ilowth,
Are startled, and take up the song in surprise,
Tho " Cead mille failthe," that from every mouth
Floats up like an incense till lost in the skies.
They welcome her madly ! the Royal, the good—
They greet her with blessings, as Erin's suns should.
In the pride of her beauty, the pomp of her state,
While only her woman heart thrills to the core,
The Sovereign of Ireland, " oull Ireland," elate.
First plants her proud foot on the minstrel-famed
shore.
And auspicious as once shone the rainbow above
With her tread came the sunbeam—a guerdon of love!
0, joy to thee, Erin, no longer the singled,
The lone one lamenting in solitude there,
Thy sister isle's welfare ,sith thine now is mingled,
Forgot be thy hardships—forgot thy despair ;
As the summer fields fresh from the rain-cloud be thou,
With nerve in thy drooping arm—peace on thy brow.
Yes! joy to thee, Erin, old poet-sung isle.
Forgot be thy long night of sorrow and gloom;
Thy Sov'reign has sought thee to bless with her smile,
And leave on thy wan cheek some token of bloom.
And true to thyself, true to Erin's old glory,
Thy welcome shall live in the annals of story.
