THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
A liberal supply of English whet,
a 2,540 quarters, has
come to hand, this week, coastwise but the receipts fresh
up, to-day, by land carriage, were very moderate. A few
samples left over from Monday were on offer, and the de-
mand for all kinds ruled heavy, at that day's decline in O.
quotations.
Over 13,000 quarters of foreign wheat have, arrived this
week, and the supply was, consequently, on the increase.
Even the finest parcels were very dull ; indeed, so little
business was transacted that prices were also nominal.
Fine malting barley supported previous rates ; but low
qualities were very dull, and the turn cheaper.
Malt sold wholly in retail quantities, at barely Monday's
currency.
We were heavily supplied with foreign oats, which sold
slowly, at 6d per quarter less money.
Beans, peas, and flour were a slow sale, but not cheaper.

COLONIAL.
TEA.—The market is dull, but prices are steady. Common
Congou is quoted 10d to 101-d per lb.
SUGAR.—The demand for home consumption continues
very limited, but for export there is a moderate inquiry for
the inferior descriptions. Prices of all descripons are
firm. In the refined market there has been a fair inquiry
for export and late rates are current. Pure goods for home
consumption are in steady request and at about former
values.
COPFEE.—At public sale, Plantation Ceylon realised
high rates. Other descriptions were well supported, and
the market generally exceedingly firm.
RicE.—There is very little alteration to report
heavily,
in the
value of this article. The p
and lower rates were in some instances current.
RUM.--The demand for the common descriptions still
continues active. Jamaica sold at 3s. 10d. and Leward
Island at Is. Bd. to is. 9d. per proof gallon.
FRUlT.—There has been only a moderate amount of
business doing, and new fruit, owing to recent large
arrivals, has slightly declined.
SALTPETRE.—The market is steady at about previous
quotations.
TALLOW.--A very limited business has been done both
for home use and on speculative account, and prices re-
main steady at about previous quotations. P.Y.C. on the
spot is 49s 6d ; last three months, 498 to 49s 3d ; and
spring delivery, 49s 3d to 49s 6d per cwt.

SCENE IN A CHIJRCII.—On Sunday last a remark-
able scene occurred in the parochial church of Rivingtun.
During the sermon the clergyman was annoyed by the con-
versation of two of his congregation, a man and his wife ;
and having noticed it before, the rev. gentleman stopped, and
addressing them said " I will thank you to cease talking in
that pew." The effect of this rebuke was instantaneous—
complete silence followed ; all eyes were directed to the per-
sons offending, and they evidently felt astounded at the
rebuke thus publicly directed to them. The husband holds
a public office in the parish, and the event has caused con-
siderable excitement in the neighbourhood.—Manchester
