MARKET NEWS.-(TMIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The arrivals of Wheat of home produce up to our market this
week, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples, have been
on a fair average scale, and of greatly improved quality. Although
the attendance of buyers here this morning was limited, the demand
for most descriptions was steady at fully the currencies obtained en
Monday, and at which a good clearance was effected. The show of
free Foreign Wheat was small. Fine dry qualities were in good
request at extreme prices. An kinds of Corn under bond
were a mere drug but not cheaper. The stocks are still increasing.
Not Withstanding the supplies of Barley and Malt were small, the
sales for those articles were in a very sluggish state, at barely late
rates. The Oat trade was very firm, arid good dry swat Corn pro-
duced a trifle more money. Beans, Peas, and Flour very dull, at
Monday's quotations.

STEAM NAvIGATIoN.—The Court of' the Iccorporated
Company of Watermen and Lightermen have issued a second notice.
which has been posted along shore, stating that they are ready to
grant licenses for steam and sailing boats navigated upon the river
Thames between Windsor and Gantlet Creek, regulating the number
of passengers to be carried therein. The notice also states that all
persons navigating such boats without having obtained such licenses
will subject themselves to the penalties mentioned in the bye-laws
made by the Court of Aldermen of [the City of London. Only one
license has been yet applied for, and we understand the steam-boat
companies intend to resist the new bye-laws which regulate the num-
ber of passengers to be carried .on board steamers, and also their
speed in the crowded parts of the river. The beadles of the Water-
men and Lightermen's Company have received directions to take
out summonses against the masters of steamers who refuse to com-
ply with the bye-laws. In the event of convictions, the steam-boat
companies not owly intend to appeal to the quarter sessions, but t•
question the validity of the bye-laws in the Court of Queen's Bench.
The Lord Mayor has expressed nix determination to convict in every
case that mt.eta nut. and to inflict the full penalty. Under
these circumstances there will probably be a rich crap at eurnmvazac.o.
ammonia, and write nf sneer tire steam-
ers navigated by freemen of the Watermen and Lightennen's Com-
pany. The large steamers, under the command of Cinque Ports men
and others, including those on the Margate and Ramsgate stations,
do not come within the range of the new laws.
VISIT OF THE HEREDITARY PRINCE OF SAXE-
MEININGEN TO WOOLWICH.—At a quarter past eleven o'clock yes-
terday his Serene Highness the Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Meiningen.
accompanied by Sir A. Barnard and Captain Taylor, arrived at
Woolwich. Having been received by Major-General Sir H. D. Ross,
K.C.8., and a numerous staff of officers of the Royal Artillery, his
Serene Highness proceeded from the garrison on horseback.
Three troops of the Royal Artillery, commanded by Colonel Wylde,
C. 8., were assembled in review order on the common, and imme-
diately upon the appearance of the distinguished visitor, went
through their evolutions with much precision and celerity. The
Prince subsequently proceeded to the Royal Military Academy, where
he remained a considerable time examining the hall, library, quar-
ters, and exercising ground of the gentlemen cadets. The Rotunda
and Repository grounds ; the barracks, and the square in which the
Royal Horse Artillery are quartered, were also honoured with
similar visits, his Serene Highness partaking of an elegant collation
in the mess-room. The Prince then witnessed the rocket practice
on the Marshes, and afterwards examined almost every department
in the Royal Arsenal. His Serene Highness entered the royal car-
riage opposite the boring establishment, and left Woolwich at a
quarter before five o'clock for London, accompanied by Sir Andrew
Barnard and Captain Taylor.

MAGDALEN COLLEGE ELECTION.—OXFORD, APRIL
21.—This day Mr. James Barney, 8.A., scholar of University Col-
lege, was elected fellow of Magdalen College.
THE " STAGS."—It is rumoured that a distinguished
West-end Club, of a strong political character, and which numbers
among its members numerous Parliamentarians, have had recently
within their walls some very active •• stags," collected for the pur-
pose of gathering information respecting the manner in which many
of the railway schemes were concocted, and the parties active
therein. Whether the information is desired for Parliamentary use
has not transpired. That some very extraordinary details might be
procured, supposing parties to be examined who could be believed,
few will doubt; and if they could only be obtained and published,
perhaps they would show that more unblushing efforts in the " art
of money-making" never was practised.

MARRIAGE DISAPPOINTMENT.—A curious scene oc-
curred at the parish church of St. Mary-le: Strand this morning,
between ten and eleven o'clock. Two young couple presented them-
selves at the altar for the purpose of being married, when the brother
of one of the bridegrooms made an objection to the affair, which was
overruled by the Rev.lir. Denham,the rector, and he was proceeding
to perform the ceremony when the objector said that the marriage of
his brother should not take place, and that lie had another objection
to make, which was that they could not be married at that church
as they did not belong to the parish, which was held to be fatal to
the parties offering themselves, as upon inquiry beingmade was found
to be true. The parties then left the church, declaring that they
would go to their own parish and have the affair finally settled.
