MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
For our market last week the arrivals of all kinds of
grain, as well as flour, of home produce, were on a very
limited scale; while the receipts from Ireland and Scot-
land were trifling. From abroad the imports were on a
full average scale--they having principally amounted to
30,847 quarters of Wheat, 5,203 ditto of Barley,
12,435 ditto of Oats, 6,412 ditto of Indian Corn,
and 20,000 barrels of Flour, a large portion of
which was landed in warehouse. Fresh up this
morning there was a decided increase in the receipts of
Wheat from Essex and Kent, but those from all other
quarters were small. Notwithstanding the supply of
that article was larger than for many past weeks the
actual quantity of English Wheat on offer was small.
This fact, together with several somewhat unfavour-
able accounts having come to hand from our large
agricultural di,tricts respecting the appearance of the
growing wheats, and the inferior condition in which the
foreign supplies are now coming to hand, produced rather
more inquiry for Wheat of home produce, at an advance
in the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. In one
or two instances 3s per quarter more money was paid
for very superior parcels of Kentish Red of last year's
growai. There was a large supply of foreign Wheat
on offer. Selected qualities of both Red and White
were in steady request, at an improvement in the cur-
rencies paid ou Monday last of fully is per quarter. In
the middling and inferior kinds only a limited business
was doing, at late rates. The Sound list of to-day
shows that upwards of fifty sail of vessels passed the
Sound on Saturday. laden with Wheat and Meal.
No English Barley was at market. The show of foreign
was by no means extensive ; yet the demand for all

descriptions was in a very sluggish state, at but little,i
oily, alteration in value. The supply of Malt was very
trifling. Still, however, the trade was very dull, and it
some instances the rates were nominally unaltered.
Owing to the short arrival of Oats from all quarters. the
Oat trade was steady; but we can notice no itnprove-
ment in value, as large supplies are shortly expected•
Beans were ineffectually held at more money. The
transactions in them were small, at late rates. In Peas
scarcely a transaction was reported. The supply of
Indian Corn was good, and sales progressed slowly, at
late rates. Flour was dull, and the nominal price of the
best town-made was 65s per 2801bs. Barrelled Flour
commanded very little attention.

The arrivals at Hull, Newcastle, &c., have comprised
nearly 2,000 head of Beasts, Sheep, Lambs, and Calcite'
with a few Pigs, chiefly from Holland. There were on
offer this morning about 400 Oxen and Cows, 1,820
Sheep and Lambs, and 40 Calves, from abroad. Some
of the former were extremely well made up; but the
general condition of the foreign supply was inferior. -
Still, however, a total clearance was Effected, at fully
last week's quotations. With home-fed Beasts we were'
the time of year considered, scantily supplied, and we
have to report a great deficiency in their quality. Th,..e.
scarcity of really prime Beef, the favourable change in
the weather for slaughtering, and the increased attend
ance of country buyers—mostly from the west of Eef
land—produced a very steady, though not to say brie
inquiry for the best Scots, Herefords, runts, Devons, sea
short horns, at fully the currencies obtained on this day
se'nnight—the former breed selling freely at from 4s WI
to 5s per 81bs but the middling and inferior kinds el•
Bed met a slow sale, yet late rates were mostly ser
ported. Our advices from the large northern graziei
districts are to the effect that very moderate droves 0'
short horns will be received hither during the next three
or four weeks; hence the prices of Beef are likely to he
fully supported during that period. From Norfolk, Su!:
folk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about Suv
Scots, home-breds, and short-horns; from the northerl!
counties, 500 short-horns; from the western and midland
districts, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other
parts of England, 350 of various breeds; an from Sea-
land, 200 hcrned and polled Scots—the remainder of the
supply being derived from abroad, and the neighbour'
hood of the metropolis. On the whole, the supplY
Sheep was limited, owing to which, the Mutton use
was steady, at prices quite equal to those paid on Frieft
last—being 2d per Blbs higher than on Monday. 'l'l
best old Downs sold at 58 4d, and superior half-brel
quite 5s per 81bs, at which rates a clearance was effeete,,
without difficulty. The number of Lambs was tolerebl
good, but of very middling quality. Compared W 1
that experienced on some previous market days. 'l'
Lamb trade was very firm, at Friday's advance xn tbe
quotations of 2d per 81bs, the best Down valid°
realising 6s 4d per 81bs. With Calves we were but IVY
derately supplied, while the trade was heavy at late rates'
In Pigs next to nothing was doing.

NEWOATE AND LEADENBALL.
Scarcely any country-killed meat has come to bend,
for our markets since Monday last, owing to the Wee",
ingly hot weather; and as most of the butchers 110
been compelled to increase their purchases in Smithfie
from that cause, the supplies on offer killed in the Pihre
tropolis have been very small. Generally speaking,"a 0
demand has been steady, at, in most instances, fu
prices. About 500 carcases of foreign meat have lir
peered on sale, and been disposed of at late rates.

BOROUGH HOP IVIARIEET. i 0
With the exception of there being a slight increasep,o
the demand for the best yearlings in pockets, at It
prices, the Hop trade is in a very depressed state•j:l
barely late rates. The supply on offer is sessonou'
good ; and the duty is backed by some parties at 145 t, ins
Sussex pockets, 41 to 41 10s; Weald of Kent ditto, 4g

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELBS.
Very large supplies of new Potatoes have been (311
offer in these markets since Monday last; nevertbelenh
the demand is active, at from 7s to 16s per cwt. Fronl
all parts we continue to receive the most flattering
accounts respecting the new crop.
WOOL.
Last week the imports of Wool into London well
composed of 250 bales from Hamburgh, 82 ditto fr°l3l,,
St Petersburgh, 78 ditto from Monte Video, 700 ditt;
from Sydney, and 500 ditto from Algoa Bay. On s$
whole, there is more firmness in the demand by Priva „
contract, and in some few instances a trifle more nioneJ
has been realised for selected qualities of English.
TALLOW.
Our market still continues in a very inactive staff`and, when sales have been pressed, a further #l4 a
depression has been submitted to in the quotatio;
T.Y.C. on the spot is heavy above figures. The rid
for forward delivery is 47s 3d per cwt. The supPiLh
Town Tallow is by no means abundant, yet the Doti
price does not exceed 48s to 48s 3d per cwt.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE'
bi
Mr. Lumley is not one of those who are son,spoile
success, for, successful as has been his present se does
and it has been successful beyond all precedent, be
not relax one jot in his endeavours to render her 1;0
jesty's Theatre in every way worthy of the name 11-beti
it bears and of the high and distinge's
patronage with which it has been honoured. jog
less enterprising, a less conscientious, a less fareeeho
manager than Mr. Lumley, would have rested on 70,
oars for the remainder of the season, seeing that Jel3oe's
Lind draws to the house every night at least three itlgr,
as many persons as the house can hold; and had nuo
Lumley been the manager for this season only, it vivo:l
have been an useless waste of capital to have engeebe
any other talent, seeing that the house ea°, r •
but filled, but as Mr. Lumley is not only manager for
season, but proprietor for all time, we consider that
the
liberality which he is exhibiting in bringing fenleee
novelty after novelty is a judicious economy. tina
acts of liberality are remembered hereafter, 0
tend greatly to increase the subscription list for
ensuing year. The public know and appreeo
s,
liberality in a management, and Mr. Lumley L
during the course of the present season, had 11170.
gratifying proofs that not only does the public
preciate liberality but that it rewards also, and ee";
tainly never has public favour and patronage eitfrP"
more fully earned than it has been by
Lumley. On Saturday Taglioni— the Taglioes
La Deese, made her first appearance this season, in,
far famed Pas de Quasre, supported by Carlotta Gres
Cerito, and Rosati, who took the part formerly Sly„'
tained by poor Lucile Grahn, who is still it
capacitated from appearing by a complainL
the foot from which she has long been suffering. U;
lioni looks, and acts, and dances as well as ever, anu;:e,
the old enthusiasm was revived by the Pas de Clltere
Bouquets were showered on the stage, and ttea
was the same spirit of friendly partizanship exinulos
by the worshippers of the respective Deeses that b
wont of yore to be so exciting. It was a great triulto'
and Mr. Lumley may now boast that he has seeer_roth
her Majesty's Theatre the services of the prima, eelirui,
the primo buffo, and the premiere danseuse of thew °. •
There is no lyrical establishment that can prodoc;ro
rival to Jenny Lind, or Lablache, or Taglioni, who
all at this moment engaged at her Majesty's Theatre'
