CORN EXCHANGE, Mity 4.

THE Imports of all description of Grain, for to-
day's Market, are very considerable, sales of -first
quality are is. lower, and other sorts 23. and p. per
quarter, with difficulty of sale at that reduction ;
having many buyers of Barley, it, has rather better
price ; Beans and Pease have litte variation ; and
from the plentiful supply, of Oats, they are like-
wise cheaper ; Flour also declines.

Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens had " all the
world a,nd his wife" yesterday. The beautiful day,
indeed, rendered both places a scene of delight to
every admirer of Nature ; and the scene was
heightened by a profusion. of female graces, in all
the elegance of fashi,m.
The comic Opera of The Cabinet brought INC L E.
DON back again to the Public on Saturday last at
Covent-Garden Theatre, with health sufficiently re-
covered for a due exercise of his public duties. He
displayed no marks of his recent illness in his sing-
ing, though there was something of languor in his
ashen. The public received him with the most flat-
tering marks of applause.
Let:, the new Singer of Drury.lane Theatre, per-
formed Belville, in Rosins, on Saturday night for the
second time, and with much better success. He gave
the airs with great skill, and is somewhat improved
in his aaing.--a.The Play was The School for Scan..
dal, which went off with great spirit.
A letter from Lisbon by the Britannia, BROWN,
arrived in the Downs from the Tagus, states, that
Bayonne has recently been nearly destroyed by fire.
The flames were not discovered till six o'clock in
the morning, when they burst forth with irresistible
violence ; the large stores filled with brandy, car,
&c. presented one sheet of fire, ascending into the
air upwards of zoo feet above the bui4,og. The
brandy, tar, oil, &c. formed a stream, and running
in flames into the Adour, presented the singular
and terrible spedaele of a river on fire.—The fire
continued burning violently for two days, during
which many lives, and
,property to the value of two
millions of francs, were lost. . _

Oti critically examining the line of the intended
Caledonian Cacti from Inverness to Fort William,
I found the ground, in its general appearance, un.
commonly favourable to the purpose ; and witha
few exceptions, the trials of the ground, by sinking
pits and boring through the whole length of the
fine, have confirmed the expetiation which the ap.
pearance had promised.
Jr seems probable that in some early age of the
world, the immense chasm (aim st two. thirds of
the length of which i, still occupied by water) has
been nearl77 open from sea to sea, and that the land
which now separates the Lochs has been formed
from the decay 'of the adjoining mountains, wasted
by time, and brought down by torrents from rain ;
this decay is remarkably apparent in the great
mountain B-n Nevis, which is evidently a part only
of a much greater mountain that seems to have-in.

lesser height, presenting now between them two
immense gullies, from whence the alluvial deposi-

Fort William. Impressed with this idea, I was
very apprehensive, after the alarming disappoint-

that many other parts would he found similar ra it;
the greatest part of flat land at Inverness being

Madame BONAPARTE has lately imported from Sr.
I)omingo two animals of the Lama species (a species
of animal indigenous in America, and resemhling
the camel). One of these animals is a male, and
the other a female. They are now at Malmaison,
where the female brought forth a young Lama, which
died a few days after. There is a regular report in
Moniteur, dated Malmaison, 4th Floreal, and
signed B. MIRBELLE, which States the anxions
cares both of Madame BONAPARTE and CUVIER,
the celebrated Anatomist, that the female may he
[nor• successful in her future accollthement:, and that
the Lama tribe may be propagated in Europe.•--
The description is perhaps not sufficiently delicate
for English Readers ; but after describing the ex-
celtlent qualities of ►he Lama, the report concludes
thus :—" Science owes to the enlightened proteetion
of Madame BONAPARTE the hater knowledge of
this interesting race uf animals. Society will,
doubtless, owe to her the naturalization of it in
these cliniates."
