MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
Scarcely any English Wheat was on offer in to-day's
markets. The few parcels brought forward were mostly:ths.-
posed of at prices fully equal t.) those obtained on Monday
last. Very few offers came to hand from the east coast to
forward Wheats at present currencies. Nearly 12,000 quar-
ters of foreign Wheat have come fresh to hand this week.
The show of samples was by no means extensive. All kinds
were in but moderate request, yet the quotations were well
supported in cver7 instance. The supply of English Barley
was small, that of foreign large. Most kinds moved off
slowly at last week's prices. In Malt next to nothing doing
at late rates. We had a large quantity of foreign Oats on
the stands. A steady business was doing in that article,
but we !Tay() no improvement to notice in value. Beans
Yeas, Indian Corn, and Flour, as last advised. ,

THEATRE ROYAL DRURY-LANE.
Julius Casar was performed here last evening, and
attracted a crowded house. The cast was very strong.
Vandenhoff was Brutus, Cooper Cassius, Emery Cases,
and Anderson Mark Antony. He is the best Mark
Antony who has appeared since Charles Kemble lett the
stage, and declaimed the celebrated funeral oration with
great propriety and Effect. We were glad to find the
house was crowded, because it shows that the love tor
the drama is not extinct, and that to see a good play,
strongly cast and well acted, people will gather togetht-r
as they did in days of yore, ere the detestable " star"
system spoiled the drama by turning all our good plays
into huge monopologues fur the display of the peculiar
talent or charlatanism, as the case might be, of one par-
ticular actor.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—BENEFIT OF MESSRS.
PARKER AND BENTON.—These gentlemen take their benefit
at Drury-lane Theatre to-morrow evening. They have been
long connected with the house, and most of our play going
readers have, no doubt, been frequently indebted to the
civility and kindness of Mr. Parker, at the box-office, while
all who have ever had occasion to make inquiries at the
stage door can bear testimony to the urbanity with which
Mr. Benton performs his duties. These things will, we hope,
be held in remembrance, and, if so, these gentlemen will
have a bumper to-morrow night. The performance will
commence with Hamlet , and conclude with the .Devil's Ring.
ST. JAMES'S SCOTCH CHURCH, SWALLOW-STREET,
PICCADILLY.— Ou Sunday morning last the Rev. John Caird,
one of the most eloquent preachers of the Church of Scot-
land, preached in this church on behalf of the Scottish
Church Missions. There were present iv the church listening
to the admirable discourse the Duke and Duchess of Argyl,
the Duchess of Sutherland, the Earl of Carlisle, Lord and
Lady Blantyre, Mr. Fox Maule, and others of the Scottish
nobility.

EXHIBITION or 1851.—The Royal Commissioners
have informed the city of London committee that they are
prepared to take the greatest care in their power of all ob-
jects sent to the exhibition; but they are not prepared to
incur a degree of responsibility unusual with regard to public
exhibitions. F,:r this reason it has been already stated that
exhibitors must be at the charge of insuring their own goods,
and that the Commissioners cannot be responsible for any
losses that may be occasioned by fire, or any other accident
over which they have no control. They will spare no pains
in making such police and other arrangements as may ap-
pear adequate for the protection of the exhibition and the
security of articles exhibibited. They will of course give all
the aid in their power for the legal prosecution of all persons
guilty of robbery or wilful injury of any f the articles in the
exhibition, should such unfortunately occur in spite of the
precautions which will be taken.
