MARKET NE WS.—NTH; IS Day.

CORNEXCHANGE.--(FRIDAY.)
During the present week the arrivals of English
Wheat for our market, coastwise, have amounted to
2,260, quarters. Fresh up to-day the receipts of that
grain by land carriage were very moderate, and the
show of samples of both red and white was comparatively
small. Generally speaking the factors were firm, but
owing to the continued pressure of French Flour the
amount of business doing was trifling, at Monday's quo-
tations. The imports of foreign Wheat having been
confined to only 610 quarters, some of the importers,
notwithstanding that the show of granaried samples was
seasonably good, refused to sell except on higher terms,
but which were not submitted to, by the millers.
An unusually small supply of Barley being on offer, that
article moved off freely, at extreme en rreucies. In Malt, i
the receipts of which were moderate, c ,imparatively little
was doing, at late rates. Under 5,000 quarters of Oats
having come to hand, the Oat trade was active, at an
advance in the quotations of from 6d to is in some in-
stances per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Flour changed
hands steadily, at full prices.

TEA.—In this article there has been no movement.
TALLOW.—The market is quiet. P. Y. C. is 37s 9d
to 38s per cwt on the spot. During the six months end-
ing the 31st ult. the quantity imported into London has
been 17,540 casks, against 16,531 casks at the corre-
sponding period of 1850.
Rum.—The market is dull, though not so heavy as it
was a short time back. The stock in bond, as com•
pared with this time last year, shows a decrease of 1,850
puns and 1,034 hhds. The consumption this year has
been less than last.
GREEN FnutT.—The continued fine weather is fa-
vourable to the consumption of Oranges. 1,000 boxes
Palermo, and 500 boxes Lisbon, sold at public sale br
Keeling and Hunt, went freely at the prices obtainable
last week. More demand for Lemons, bat so many par-
cels) out of condition are being offered in the market
that the price is depressed in consequence. Nuts are
in better demand, but there is no improvement in value.

ANNIVERSARY AT ST. PAUL'S.—Yesterday the
great annual meeting of the charity schools of the metropolis
was held in the cathedral, when between 3,000 and 4,000
scholars attended. The nobility and gentry were presetat
in great numbers, with a good sprinkling of foreign visitors.
At the commencement of the service, when the whole of the
children were seated, the edifice presented a spectacle such
as might be sought in vain at any other time or place. Be-
fore the prayers the 100th Psalm was sun,: by the whole of
the children; after the first lesson, " rye Deum" was excel-
lently given by the gentlemen of the choir; "Jubilate Deo"
following the second lesson. Then before the prayer for the
Queen was the magnificent Coronation Anthem, "Zadok the
Priest," by the gentlemen of the choir, the children joining
in the grand chorus, the whole having a most imposing effet.tt.
The sermon was preached by the Archbishop of Canterbury,
who in impressive terms referred to the great blessings on
the junior members of the congregation who had been
brought together in that cathedral. The ceremonies closed
with the grand "Hallelujah Chorus" by the gentlemenof
the choir, and when the children joined their silvery voiLlai
told with remarkable effect.

Turbot, soles, crabs, and lobsters have been re-
markably plentiful and cheap in our markets of late. Pine

exertions of J. Dunbar, Esq.,judge of the Suddur Court, at

Australian specie; which are also entirely new to the collec-

THE SITE OF THE TIMES OFFICE: Our office
stands upon the foundation of Blackfriars, where for centu-
ries Plantagenists, Yorkists, Lancastrians, and Tudors held
court. We have reason to believe that just about where. We
sit was heard that famous case for annulling the marriage of

Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with
Beasts, both as to number and quality. For most breeds
the demand ruled steady, and a good clearance was ef-
fected at Monday's quotations. The top figure for the
best Scots was 3s 6d per 81bs. Although the supply of
Sheep was seasonably large, that description of stock
moved off steadily, at full currencies, the primest old
Downs selling at from 3s 8d to 3s 10d per 81bs. Lambe
came freely to hand; nevertheless the trade was firm, 8$
fully late rates. From the Isle of Wight 500 head
reached us by railway. We had a steady sale for
Calves, at previous quotations; but Pigs were very dull.
Milch Cows were quoted at from 14/ to 1815 s each,
eluding their small Calf.
