MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY,

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
Last week's arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, Oats, and
Flour up to our market were on -a very mo,terate scale—
those of Malt, Beans, and Peas trifling. From Scotland only
GO quarters of seeds reached us '; but, from Ireland, upwards
of 7,000 quarters of Oats came to hand. The imports of
foreign Wheat were comparatively small, but those of Barley
Were large—of Oats and Flour tolerably good. The receipts
of Wheat of home produce; fresh up to-day from Essex end
Kent, were considerably lees than those reported cn this day
se'nnight ;. while, by land carriage and sample, they were on
a very limited scale, consequently the bulk of the supply of
that article on offer was the remains cf Friday's unsold
qualities. Notwithstanding this circumstance we have
to report a very dull sale for all descriptions, and,
to effect sales, a decline on last week's quotations
of from Is to 2-, in some instances 3s p: r quarter,
was submitted to, and at which amount of depression a clear-
ance was not effected, This was certainly the heaviest mar-
ket for Wheat experienced during the last two months, and
most parties here are of opinion that lower rates may be
leaked forward to for most articles. For export we did not
hear of a high transaccion—scarcely a foreign buyer being in
attendance. We had very little Foreign Wheat on the
stands ; yet the supply was more than adequate
to meet the wants of the millers. All kinets
both, red and white met an unusually null
inquiry, at an abatement on last week's value of from is to
2s per quarter. At that decline some of the holders were
rather anxious sellers. With English Bariey we were
, AIWA 4,Blippliet*, of foreign, we s ex tens i Yee,
and • of fair b.Verage OWitig. to the large iiuporta
time, the Barley trade was exceedingly dub, and the prices
receded ls' to 2s per quarterleaving a large quantity un-
sold at the conclusion of business. Notwithstanding the
quantity of Malt on offer was small, that article ruled
dull, and, in some cases the prices hid a downward tendency.
The total supply of Oats, -including the foreign receipts, was
good; yet, as most of the dealers are short. of stock, a mode-
rate business was doing, at late rates. All kinds of I3eans
were dllir;Tlit sitrifisttee-- no material decline in value.
Peas, for seeds, were held at high rates; but the actual buei-
nest' doing -a as small, at barely stationary prices. In sack
Flour, so little was doing, that prices were almost nominal.
American parcels were is per bane lower. Indian Corn was
a mere drug, and might be purchased at Is to 3s per quarter
less money. There wit be no market held on Wednesday.

Total
Nearly 280 Oxen and Cows, together with 150 Sheep, have
been landed at Hull, and our (eller outpurts' from Holland.
A marked improvement has taken place in the condition of
the stock imported this year, compared with most former
seasons. We had on sale this morning about 180 Beasts, 90
Sheep, and 20 Calves from abroad, the demand for which was
excessively heavy, on easier terms. The supply of home-
fad Beasts on ofilr was, the time of year conshtered, by far
the most extensive as to number ever recollected by the
oldest frequenter of the market, while the quality has teen
seldom or never equalled during the month of March. This
circumstance, together with the prevailing fine weather, and
the large arrivals of country-killed Meat up to Newgate and
Leadenhall, produced extreme heaviness in the Beef trade,
at Friday's decline in the quotations of quite 2d par 8 lbs.,
and a large number of really prime Beasts left the market
un.-old. To show the state of the demand, we may intimate
that many good Oxen were with difficulty disposed of as low
as 3s 64 per 8 lbs., and, further, that nearly one thcusand
head of Beasts more were on show than at the corresponding
period in 1846. The prices of Beef now range fully 4d, Mut-
ton 4d to 64, Lamb 6d to ls,.Veal 84 to 104, and Pot k 2d to 4d
per 8 lha. lower than at the same time last season. From Nor-
folk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received nearly
1,800 Scots, home-breds, and short-horns; from the northern
districts 300 short-horns; from the western and midland
counties 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts
of England, 500 of various breeds; nod from Scotland, 220
horned and polled Scots. Although the supply of Sheep was
not to say extensive, it was more than adequate to meet the
wants of the butchers, who purchased very cautiously, at an
abatement in value of 21 per 8 lbs. The very highest price
for the best old Downs was only 4s 104 per 8 lbs., and a clear-
ance was not effected. Shorn Sheep were plentiful, and the
relative diff.-rence in the currencies between those in and out
of the wool was 84 per 81bs. That is to say, oid Dowu
shorn, were not worth more than 4s 2d per 8 lbs. From the
Isle of Wight, 35 Lambs came fresh to band per railway,
while the receipts from other quarters are by no means ex-
tensive. The Lamb trade was heavy, at from 5s to 6s per
81bs.; indeed, in many instances the currencies were almost
nominal. With Calves we were scantily supplied, yet the
Veal trade was dull, at an abatement in the quotations of
from 24 to 4d per Si lbs: The Pork trade was exceedingly
inactive, and the rates suffered a decline of 24 per 8 lbs.

Since Monday last the arrivals of Meat from Scotland have
consisted of about 100• carcases of Beef, E3W dittO of Mutton,
and 600 ditto ot Pork; while those from various parts of
England have comprised nearly 350 carcases if Beet; 2,800
ditto of Mutton, 30 ditto of Lamb, 120 ditto of Veal, and
3,100 ditto of Pork. The supplies of Meat on sale, killed in
the metropolis, have been t,lerably good; but the genera!
demand has ruled heavy, at drooping currencies. About 100
carcases of foreign Beef, 120 ditto of Mutton, and 10 ditto ot
Veal Lave appeared on sale.

BOROUGH AND SPZTALPIEL' ZS.
There is very little business doing here in Potatoes, the
supplies of which are extremely moderate, and last week's
prices are with difficulty supported.
BOROUGH NOP MARKET.
We have to report a very inactive inquiry for all kinds of
Hops, especially for the inferior qualities, but in prices no
alteration can be noticed. The supply on offer is seasonably
good. -

TALLOW.
There is rather less doing in this market than for some
time past, and prices are with difficulty supported. P. Y. C.
on the spot, is selling at 51s per cwt. For forward delivery
a fair business is doing at 46s 3d to 46s 6d per cwt. Town
Tallow is in fair supply, at 501 to 50s 6d net cash.

WOOX,
The imports of Wool, during the week, have been again
very limited, viz., about 600 bales. Fine combing Wools
(English) are in good request, and a trifle dearer. In all
(Aber qualities exceedingly little is doing at barely late ratce.
The future prospect of this tnarket is by no means cheering.

I)RURT-LANE.I4IIi. BENTON'S BENEFIT.—The
benefit of Mr. Benton, of the free list office, Drurl -lane, and
sub-treasurer of the theatre, takes place to-morrow, on
which occasion Miss Rainforth will make her first appear-
ance in the character of Maritana, in Wallace's favourite
opera of that name, and that promising young artiste, Miss
Rebecca Isaacs, will appear for the first time as Laza-
rillo. Spanish Gallantries will follow, with the fascinating
Marietta Baderna as the heroine. Such an attractive bill of
fare would alone be sufficient to secure a good house, but
when we recollect how many there are who, having benefited
by the civility of Mr. Benton, will be but too happy to be
civil to him on his benefit, we feel assured that the house
will be a bumper.
ST. JAMES'S TiIEATEE.-..-ETIIIOPIAN SERENADERS.

—The Ethiopian Serenaders—the original, the most uni-
mitated, because inimitable—still continue their performances
ct the St. James's 'theatre, on the off nights of the French
plays. and with undiminished attraction. We visited the
'theatre on Saturday .evening, and were delighted with the
performances of these sable minstrels,. who can command at
will" a smile or a tear" from their auditors. The house was,
as it always is, crowded.
