HUNGERFORD MARKET.-A. meeting of
the proprietors of Hungerford-market was on Friday
held at the offices of the company in Villiers-street,
W. Courtenay, Esq., in the chair. The report of
the directors stated that the negotiation with the mar-
ket-gardeners having failed, the site of the western
side of -Hungerford-street, which had been intended
for their use, would now be covered with houses ; that
the directors had negotiated a loan of 13,0001., that
they had made advantageous arrangements for the
supply of salmon, and that they had succeeded in ob-
taining, in favour of the company, a bill which would
remove every obstruction to the supply of other fish,
which measure only awaited the Royal assent ; that
there was another bill in progress which contained a
provision favourable to the establishment of a hay-
market ; that the company's wharf was likely to be-
come a rendezvous for steam-boats, which would form
a new source of revenue ; that the affairs of the com-
pany were not in so prosperous a condition as to admit
of a dividend being proposed ; and, after other obser-
vations, assured the proprietors that the directors
would use every endeavour to bring the undertaking
to a profitable issue. An election of five new directors
then took place.and the statement of accounts was read
and carried. After the disposal of other pro forma
business the meeting separated.

On Tuesday morning last a fire took place
at Fenny Compton, under the following circum-
stances :—A young man was amusing himself with
shooting birds, when one alighted on a thatched cot-
tage, and he unthinkingly levelled his gun for the pur-
-puse of shooting it ; the contents of the gun-lodged-in
the thatch, the whole of which was rapidly in flames.
The cottage, with a barn and outbuildings, were burnt,
together with a part of the furniture.--Oxford
Journal.

MARCH OF ROGUERY.-There is in Liver-
pool a regular manufactory of cases of distress. For
a few shillings any man, if desirous of reaching the
pockets of the benevolent, by way of their sympathies,
may have drawn up and written in a legible hand, a
most pathetic account of every possible misfortune of
mind, body, or estate, which can render him an object
of pity and charitable relief to the public. If A man
chooses to figure as a ruined tradesman, he may, for a
moderate consideration, have his misfortunes described
in language which would melt the most obdurate
heart ; if he likes to be burnt out of house and home,
he may have an account of a conflagration, which
would make a penny-a-line man expire with envy ;
if he prefers an accident he may have both his thighs,
or even his neck broken, by a fall from a horse, for
half a crown ; if lie chooses to be a stranger and a
foreigner, he- may have his desolate condition- de-
scribed too touchingly to be resisted. He may also
have all the adjuncts equally cheap. An interesting
v$ ife will cost him far less than a wife ever cost before ;
and he may have ten small children for nothing.

LIVERPOOL CORN-MARKET, FRIDAY,
MAY 30.—Having a continuance of easterly winds, the
arrivals from Ireland have been unusually small, there
being only two vessels (grain laden) reported since
Tuesday. Of flour and oatmeal the quantity re-
ported is also small, being of the former 84, and of the
latter only 93 sacks. The trade in the meantime has
been uniformly dull, though late prices have beerifully
supported. This day's market being thinly attended,
the transactions in wheat were small ; but this may be
owing to the increase in price demanded by the
holders, who in some instances realized, on fine sam-
ples of red and white, an advance of 2d. per bushel,
and on the general runs of red Id. per bushel, on the
rates of Tuesday. Oats were in fair request at full
pr iicueds. iug There
