MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
Notwithstanding that the show of English Wheat in
to-day's market was limited, the demand for that article,
owing to the large arrivals of Wheat from abroad, and
the pressure of toreign Flour, was in a very depressed
state, at barely Monday's reductio❑ in the quotations.
This week's imports of foreign Wheat have amounted to
nearly 13,000 quarters. Fine dry qualities were mostly
held at full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds
so little was doing that the currencies were almost no-
minal. Very little English Barley was offering, but the
supply of foreign was on the increase. On the whole
the inquiry ruled heavy at late rates. Although the in-
quiry for Malt ruled heavy, no chsnge took place in its
value. We had a steady sale for Oats, but all other ar-
ticles, especially flour, were very dull.

samples is tolerably good.

We aro authorised to state that the doors of the Ex-
hibition will positively not be opened for the admission
of visitors earlier than nine o'clock on Thursday morn-
ing, and the Park gates will be opened at seven o'clock.
We aro requested to state that all persons intending
to be present at the opening of the Exhibition to-morrow
(Thursday) will be in morning dress, with the excep-
tion of those who will be in immediate attendance on
her Majesty.
Her Majesty has been pleased to give directions that
private carriages should be permitted to pass through
the Buckingham and Stableyard gates of St.
James's-park during the next four months, beginning
from the Ist of May. We understand that the privilege
will not be extended to any public carriages; and that
they will be closed at such hours as may be found neces-
sary on those days on which her Majesty holds draw-
ing. rooms and levees.

ROYAL GARDENS, VAUXIIALL.—These time-
honoured gardens are announced to open with the " world's
fair," to-morrow night (Thursday), with a grand Lai masque,
on a scale of extended splendour, and in celebration of the
inauguration of the Cr.), stal Palace by her Majesty in person.
All that art could design, or capital accomplish, has this year
been effected by Mr. Robert Wardell, the director, to render
Vauxhall worthy not only of the patronage of our foreign
visitors, but of the public in general. On Friday the regular
season will commence, and on Sal urday Mr. Green will make
an ascent in that "mammoth" aerial machine, the great
" Nassau balloon."
LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY.—The Com-
mittee on this company's Bill report the preamble for this
company's extension to Tilbury proved; that the proposed
capital is 280,000/. ; proposed loan, 93,0001. ; amount of
shares subscribed for new works, 231,45 I. ; and deposit
paid, 28,9311. ; the greater proportion of parties to the con-
tract being shareholders in the London and Blackwall.
The length of the extension is 19 miles, and branch to
Eastern Counties 1 mile. The Committee report that the
Bill authorises the company to purchase and use steam..
boats between Tilbury and Gravesend, and as the efficiency
of the railway as regarded the Gravesend traffic was neces-
sarily dependent on the working of the steam communica-
tion between that town and the railway terminus it was de-
sirable such steam-boats should be under the management of
the railway company, and the Committee were of opinion
that the restriction contained in 124th standing order ought
not to be enforced.
CAUTION TO HOUSEKEEPERS.—The inhabitants of
the neighbourhood of the " Crystal Palace" have latterly
been seriously annoyed by gangs of young thieves who infest
the localities of Brompton, Chelsea, and Knightsbridge, com-
mitting every description of petty depredation, their principal
object being apparently the contents of the larders, to which
easy access can be obtained by means of the areas. On Sa-
turday night the houses of Mr. G. Reeves and Margraves, in
George-place, Chelsea, together with several others in the
immediate vicinity, were favoured with a visit by these
hungry gentry, and large quantities of the "good things" in-
tended for the Sunday's repast were carried off, to the great
loss and inconvenience of the provident housewives.

PROTECTIONIST DISSENSIONS.—We are assured
that notwithstanding the seeming harmony which exi<ts
among the Protection party, their more recent councils
have been, on some points, characterised by a plentiful lack
of accord. We are indebted to one of themselves for the in-
formation that they are subdivided into two sections— one
section acknowledging, and the other repudiating, the out-
of- door leadership of Mr. George Frederick Young. We
have thus a George Frederick Young party, and an Anti-
George Frederick Young party, in the Protectionist ranks.
To such an extent, we are told, is the feeling carried by the
antagonistic parties, that the Anti-Youngites made a bold
effort to prevent their hero's name being entered on the list
of speakers at yesterday's Pro ectionist demonstrations. Nor
were they altogether unsuccessful, for the pro-Youngites
were obliged to agree to a compromise—the terms being,
that they would
.acquiesce in their leader's exclusion from
the boards of Drury-lane, provided he was permitted to ex-
hibit on the platform at St. Martin's Hall, and to preside
at the dinner in the Freemasons' Tavern. The Anti-
George Frederick Young party assented, and so the matter
has, for the moment, ended.—Advertiser.

REPRESENTATION OF BELFAST.—The Belfast
Chronicle announces, on authority, that Sir James Emerson
Tennent intends becoming a candidate for the representation
of Belfast on the dissolution of the present Parliament.
MR. HAWES, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—The
Cork Examiner states that a requisition from the electors of
Kinsale has been forwarded to Mr. Hawes, calling upon him
to resign his seat in consequence of his vote in favour of the
second reading of the Papal Aggression Bill.
ROYAL ITALIAN OPFRA.—His Royal Highness
Prince Frederick William of Prussia honoured the perform-
ances at the Royal Italian Opera with his presence last even-
ing, occupying the Queen's box. In the suite of his Royal
Highness were Captain Count Goeltz, aide-de-camp to the
Prince of Prussia • Colonel Fischer, military governor to
Prince Frederick William ; Lieut. de Heinz, aide-de-camp to
his Royal Highness; and Captain the, Hon. Alexander Hood,
equerry in waiting on the Prince. The house was crowded.

CHICORY IN COFFEE.—In Belgium, where chicory
is cultivated to a considerable extent, and used with coffee,
with which it is mixed by the consumer, and not by the
retailer of coffee, the poorest person winds his own coffee,
and thus effectually prevents the possibility of having an
adulterated article. The chicory is usually gold by the
vender of coffee, and is used by the consumer in the propor-
tion to suit his own taste; and in the opinion of many toffee
drinkers a moderate quantity of chicory with coffee is an
improvement, though its general use in Belgium is from
motives of economy.
