MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

' CORN EXCHANGE—.IIIONDAY.
Miring last week, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of
English Wheat wet e, the time of Near co,,sidered, moderate;
but tbese of all other kinds of grain of Inure pr. duce, includ-
ing flour, were exceedingly small. The receipts front Ire-
land and Scotland were quite unimportant. From abroad
the receipts of Wheat, Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas were
on a much more limited scale than we have had to report on,
many previous occasions, but the imports of flour exceeded
10,000 barrels, mostly front America. Fresh up to-(ray a
very limited quantity of English Wheat came to hand, either
coastwise or by land carriage ; hence the show of
samples of that deseriptions of produce was trifling. This
circumstance, together with the presence of several buyers
from France, caused the. English Wheat trade to rule very: •
brisk, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday las'
of from 5s to, in some instances, Gs per quarter, and at that
amount of improvement the whole of the supply was sPeedilY
cleared off without the slightest difficulty ; and we may ob-
serve that we never witnessed more excitement in the
market than was the case to-day. The quantity of foreign
Wheat on offer was very trifling ; hence the sale was ex-
tremely brisk at arise in the currencies of last week of from 43 to
os per quarter. The transactions for shipment were-extremely
confined, owing to the home buyers outbidding the foreigners.
With Barley, both English and foreign, we were scantily
supplied, and the sale was active, at '2 per quarter mo re
money for all description,. In Malt an improved business
was doing, at a rise of Is to 2s per quarter. The quantity
on show was small. There was a very brisk sale for all kin
of Oats, at an advance of quite 2s per quarter, and at
at
a good clearance was effected. Beans moved off readily', at
a rise of from Is to 2s per quarter. Peas were very firm'
and is to 2s per quarter dearer. The Flour trade was active,
at. 7s per sack more money, the best town-made producing
7as per 2801bs. Barrelled qualities were is to 2s per barrel
dearer. Indian Corn, 2s per quarter above previous rates.

The arrival of country killed meat for our markets since
Monday last have been on a very limited scale, while the sup-
plies on sale slaughtered in London have been comparatively
small. The attendance of buyers having been large, the
general demand has ruled active, and the quotations have ad-
vanced from 2d to 4d per 81b, at which good clearances have
been effected. About 2.00 carcases of foreign meat have ar
peared on sale.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Coastwise, as well as from abroad, the arrivals of Potatoes
have been on the increase during the past week. All kinds
are in heavy request, at barely stationary prices.

BOROUGH HOP IMARKEiT.
A few speculative purchases have been made in the best
Hops, at full prices; but for immediate consumption the
demand is in a sluggish state, at last week's quotations.

TALLOW.
Exceedingly little business is doing in this market,*
although the stocks are small, and the late depression in the
quotations is barely supported.

WOOL.
Rather extensive arrivals of Wool have taken place in the
port of London since Monday last; viz., 700 bales from Ho-
bart Town, 600 ditto from Sydney, $OO ditto from Adelaide,
500 ditto from Algoa Bay, 71 ditto from the Cape, 300
ditto from Hamburgh, 42 ditto from Monte Video, and 400
ditto from various other quarters. On the whole, a Lair
amount of business is pass►ng in most kinds of Wool, the
prices of which are generally supported.

THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH
COMPANY.

This company have completed satisfactory arrangements
in the northern and midland counties, by which all the
towns situated in those parts of the kingdom will receive the
benefit of a telegraphic and instantaneous communication
with each other. As far as we can judge, the system appears
to be to connect the different exchanges together by the ex-
tension of the wires from the railway station, by means of
pipes laid under the ground. This principle has been
adopted in London, from the Nine Elms station of the
South-Western Railway to the Telegraphic Company's
Offices in the Strand, and from thence to the Admiral*?
in Whitehall, so that the authorities are enabled to trans-
mit messages and receive intelligence from Portsmouth
instantaneously. We regret to say that at present WO
shall be denied the benefit of this rapid means of com-
munication with the metropolis, on account of the extra-
ordinary apathy of the North-Western Railway ComPa!V,
who, we should have thought, would have been amongstw:
first to have adopted a plan of no less advantage to them-
selves era
selves than the public at large. In fact, till the telegraphl
erected between London and Rugby, the whole of the com-
munication to and from the north will have to be sent that
distance by train, thus causing, as a contemporary says,
months
great and vexatious delay." We understood

IRELAND.
THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAY I.—Of the recovery of the Lord-Lieutenant
there is not, we regret to learn, any reasonable ground of
hope, but his Excellency continues free from pain, and enjoys
tranquil rest.
The following bulletin was issued this morning :
" Hi% Excellency passed a perfectly tranquil night, and his
breathing is much relieved this morning."
The Evening Post of this afternoon contains the follow-
ing

-•-` The crisis of his Excellency's illness may be prolonged
to a period into which it is impossible for human skill to
penetrate with any degree of accuracy; and be the event
near or distant, or be the causes proximate or remote, by
which a chasm shall be created in the Besborough family
which nor time nor circumstance can ever fill, we feel assured
that the sympathetic interest dictated by this painful subject
will hardly be repaired. The painful sympathy excited in
the public mind is one of the most remarkable incidents of
the kind we remember. One thing, however, is certain; his
Excellency is not worse to-day than he was yesterday or
the day before, and much as we should be desirous to delude
ourselves with hopes of his recovery, the sad reality dills
physical depression forbids the indulgence. Every profes-
sional and mechanical means of alleviation, every conceivable
stratagem and contrivance' which could have their spring in
feminine tenderness and filial affection, have been devised
and skilfully applied by the members of his Excellency's
family, with all the solicitude of childhood, in worship of a
beloved and devoted father."

The Commander-in-Chief has presented a cornetcy -
without purchase in the 14th Light Dragoons to the Hon.
R. W. Chetwynd, brother to the Lieutenant the Honourable
W. G. Chetwynd, of the 73d Foot, who, our readers may or
collect, was killed in June last during a skirmish with the
Kafirs.
The Hon. Rev. Robert Eden, vicar of Battersea, is
appointed Bishop of Sodor and Man.--Observer.
Saturday last, being the birthday of his Grace the
Duke of Wellington, the tradesmen employed by his Grecs
assembled at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgats-streett where
an. elegant entertainment was provided for the OCC/111013 by
Messrs. Staples. Dir. Glues t'Sciatecl se clieitinfa.

JERRY LIND. —During Jenny Lind's last perform-

Itthrer habitually sold at two florins, rose to fifty, and still
th:o thousand persons had their names put down tor
them, and were disappointed. The last night, not con-
tent with calling her forward innumerable times with
r„lthdita, cheers, and deafening shouts, when she returned
olme the spectators within joined the crowd without, and
CrWed her to her house. Thirty times she was called to
I,i'mwindow ; the crowd kept constantly rereating "Jenny
p ,saY you will come again." Every means wasem-
A:;" to extract a promie; which, however, we believe,
not given. At last Jenny Lind was moved to tears,
hot knowing how to express her feelings, she broke
se,inhtcherless bouquets of ovation lying on her table
scattered them over the crowd, eves-) individual of
Je l'e4 eagerly snatched at a fl.,aer, taking it away as
