CITY OF LONDON THEATRE.

Messrs. Johnson and Nelson Lee have made ag°tls6!
triumphant hit, by the production of a nesi drama e
titled "Selfishness ; or, a Guilty Conscience,' which,"'
with Mr. Nelson Lee's pantomime of "The Fox and the
Grapes," is likely to fill the house for months to coule,;
The new drama is of a most novel construction, an
points a strong moral. A man's conscience apPoaril/rg.
to him whenever he is about to do a bad action is cee.
tainly new, and affords an opportunity to present nu,1,13,,,.
rous effec's never before attempted on any stage.
piece in itself being intrinsically good renders the succor:
so great. The management have spared no expense to
keep up their well-earned fame. The various appos,r;
ances and disappearances of the Spirit will tend to ado
to the reputation of the machinists employed. Tie age'
theosis at the conclusion of the drama is adusirabli
managed, and is greatly aided by Mr. Oswald Hugbd .
electric light. Of Mr. Searle's Wizard we cannot speak
too highly ; his changes to the Spirit were rapid in tO
extreme. Mr. N. T. Hicks played with skill and judr
ment, as did also Mr. W. Travers. Miss Marion LOY
acted admirably, as did Mrs. Hugh Campbell and Mrs'
Barnett. In fact the entire company exerted themselvi,
to insure its success. The reading public and old PitY:
goers will doubtless avail themselves of witnessing' t"`"
powerful novelty.
MARKET NEWS.—(his Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
We have had a very limited quantity of English wuell'a
on sale to-day in paor condition. There was an in:Troll
inquiry for fine dry qualities, and the best samples W°u,,,
have realised rather more money than of late. Other kill'
were quite as dear us on Monday.
Over 10,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh t'
hand. Most descriptions ruled steady, at very full prise..
Barley and malt changed hands slowly, at Monday's cl 4"
dine in value.

Oats were steady, but not dearer.
Beans, peas, and flour were in better request, at full car'
rencies. Over 8,000 barrels of the latter article W. sr.
rived from the 'United States.

' JAMAICA.---The New York Sun says the sugar crop
on the Island of Jamaica this season is 50,000 bill":
greater than ever before. This is attributed to A• 112,,,
mans having taken the management of several of tu":,
largest sugar estates. In working they employ: ",,
negroes at so much per day, paying in cash er'
week. The cash wakes up the best energies of the
sable labourers, and gives a new life, never before seen
or heard of, to the sugar-making business.
Tax WEST INDIA MAIL—The Parana, which left
Southampton on the 17th ult. with the West India 043
Pacific mails, experienced a succession of gales after 110

miles from the Island of Madeira, her commander,
finding that she bad but 600 tons left, which would W 4
be i=uffieitnt to take her to St. Thonaae, ran for Sl,'

on his voyage to St. Thomas on the evening of the
tBtb tlt.
