THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Last week's arrivals of English Wheat and Flour were tole-
rably good; of other Grain only moderate. There was little
Grain of any kind fresh up. The best English Wheat sold
readily at Is. per quarter advance, and other sorts fully sup-
ported last currency, with little doing in Foreign. Barley,
Beans, and Pease unvaried. Oats met a slack demand at last
week's terms. The Flour trade very heavy at former rates.
The weather is still remarkably fine for forwarding the crops.

3d. to 6d.

POTATOE MARKET.
The supplies of potatoes were moderate, but as there is an
abundant supply of other vegetation, and the quality of potatoes
not very good, the trade was dull, and prices for the most part
nominal, the sea'on being nearly over.
SMITHFIELD HAY MARKET.
Hay, 31. is 4/. Bs. ; Clover, 41. 10s. to 51. 10s. ; Straw,
1/. 165.2 d.

HOP MARKET.
No alteration to notice, except that more firmness was mani-
fested amongst the holders generally, and prices looking up, in
consequence of the bad accounts from the plantations, flies
having attacked the plant severely in many places.
TEA MARKET
Not much business done, but much firmness was displayed
by the holders, and it was impossible to purchase, except at full
prices, the accounts received from China being considered as
unfaYourable to a re-establishment of the trade.
TALLOW MARKET.
The market dull, and prices on the advance. P. V. C. was
493. 9d. per cwt.

blew up at old Calabar, about Feb. 20, as reported by a
boats' crew, of Kromen, who deserted the Albatross, and
arrived in Bonny River, about March 1, and that none of
the crew were saved. The Ant, Paing, from hence to
Chester and Carnarvon, is on shore on the Swilley Rocks,
Menai Straits, and not expected to be got off without con-
siderable damage.

The article on " Foundling Hospitals and their
Effects," which appeared in The Suit on Saturday, was
copied from the Abair:al Gazette.
Lord Stanley, after attending the obsequies of
the late much-lamented Lady Skelmorsdale to-morrow, will
leave immediately for the metropolis. his Lordship fully in-
tending to be in town by Wednesday night.—illyning Post.
Lord March met with an accident at Epsom, in
the stand, the consequences of which might have been serious.
As running was the order of the day, we believe his Lordship
was racing, somewhere as he knocked his head against a post,
cutting his nose and left eye to a very unbecoming extent.
INTERESTING LITERARY DISCOVERY.—
We are informed, on good authority, that our townsman,
Professor Lee, D. D. of Trinity College, Cambridge, Preben-
dary of Bristol, has recently discovered a work which will be
highly valued, not only by the general scholar, but especially
by the theological student. This indefatigable oriental scho-
lar has brought light, in a Syriac translation, one of the lost
works of the celebrated Eusebiu3, author of the Church
History.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
The amount subscribed to the Wellington testi-
monial in Scotland will be very great; the accounts from
Perthshire are upwards of 600/., for Midlothian 1,000, Ayr-
shire 6001., and Berwiek 400/. ; sums of equal amount are ad
tieivated from the other counties.— Scotsman.
