CORN-EXCHANGU, AUG. 20.—We have had a
few fresh Arrivals since Monday, and the few sales
made in Fine Wheat and Oats were at our last
quoted prices ; but there was very little business
doing ; and the prices of other kinds of Grain
may be considered nominally the same as on that
IC was day.

CoFFEE.—Yesterday two public sales of Coffee,
consisting 315 casks and hags, went on with much
briskness ; in several instances an advance of 3s.

than last week. There is, however, au appear-

THE FISHER/ES. OIL, &c.—The following may
be stated to he the result of the fishing this
son :—Aboat 150 vessels were engaged, of these
Eve %vere lost, the remainder have from 750 to
FOO fish, which at a moderate computation may
yield 11,000 tuns of Oil. Last season the quail-
titrwas 12,500 tuns, the deficiency is therefore
eery great ; hut we knou• not it it will warrant
the great advance that has taken place in the
pi ices of Fish Oils. Greenland Oil, chiefly, it
not entirely by speculation, has advanced with
rapidity from 271. to 451. per tun. List
sear Ihe prices began about 281. arid were
cettainly soon run up much higher by the ex-
tensive export demand ; but the wear ad-
vance will io some measure check this request :
it is however to be observed, that as nearly the
whole quantity to London has been purchased at
various prices on arrival, the trade will ultimately
have to submit to the high prices demanded by
the speculators, if they do not receive a supply
from the out ports, uhich they now calculate
upon, and will nor purchase at the present pi ices:
they state the whole to be speculation, uncon-
nected with the trade, and that as soon as the
time necessary for the boiling, at the outports is
completed, they will receive a plentiful supply at
lower rates. In crinsequence of the advance Of
Whale Oil. evet y other description is quoted much
higher.—There is no Seal Oil at market.—Rape
and Linserd Oil are much higher ; the immer ad.
'aucing alfs on account of the rise in the rice's
of Seed.-. The holders of-Galipoli Oil are asking
greatly higher prices. but no extensive sales have
have yet been effected : there is however little
doubt of au advance.

ILI Is It PROVIS tONS , re is considerable
interest t xcitetl as to the prices at which the ett-
!,!..astm will open. A general opintiou is Am..
fertained that the prices will open at high rates,
and that the suppl will not be extensive : this
anticipation, and the extensive supplies required

WAR.EFIBLIT, AUG. 15.-We have again hid a
r.,!ry (hail n►arket tor WVl►ear, owing chiefly to the
great influx of American flour into the western
tnalketg, and only prime cpialitiee could be (hi--
posed of, at a reduction of 3s to 4*. per quarter

porting that the -iron trade, so toriportant to this
country, continues to improve : an advance of
nearly 10 per cent. has taken plus stinting the past

such, that the present contracts win employ the

Es:Gr.:sit OPERA.—A pleasant Dramatic Sketch,
of one Act, was brought forward at this; Theatre
last night, entitled Fire and Mater. If there was
not much novelty Fri the main plot, there was at
least something ludicrous, as well as new, in the
incidents. Thrifty (CuATTERIA), all old miser,
according to pi escriptive dotage it the dramatic
reg:ons, resolves to wed Fanny (Miss Lovx), at
agrecahle voting Lady, who is attached to Frede-
rick (Wittzrxn), who is equally uttached to her.
Captain Hurry (li.uiTLEY), Fanny's uncle, has
agreed to settle a fortune on his niece, and has had
the marriage settlements prepared, intending to be-
stow her hand on a lover whom he has never
seen (another of the usual probabilities- of the
Stave). While Thrifty, who concea.s troll] Fanny
his intention to m ory her himself, is gone to pre-
pare a serenade, Frederick arrives, and, on the re-
turn of the old man, at, all the ri.toms are locked
up (why, does not appear), Frederick is obliged to
hide,Dintself in the balcony, where he is exposed
to a dreadfulv tempestuous night, and is almost
drowned with rain; so much for h sagerscio from water.
On the second return of Thrifty, Frederick, to escape
detection, climbs up the chimney, and as the old
man had returned wet and c id, he desires to have
o fire. Fanny and Furbish (Miss SrEvenson)
het maid, do all they can to prevent the fire,
test time unfortunate lover should be suffocated.
At length the old man is dragged away, on
suspicion of having assaulted the musicians, aii
violence that had been committed by Hurry.
Hence poor Frederick is released front the dan-
ger of fire HS well as water. flurry fitriv,s,
takes Frederick for the Lover, of whom he only
knew that he had a good character, has the ma-
trimonial contract executed hvfore the ret urn of
Thrifty. and the piece concludes The shivering
state of Frederick in the storm, as ,e‘m through
the wind w, excites, as usual, the risible humanity
of the audience, who displayed the state risible
sympathy hen he was in danger of being suffo-
cated. though we nave commented more than
we are accustomed to do on tetuporary sketches,
we can assure our Readers, that if they wish for
a hearty laugh, they will be secure from disap-
pointment to attending this piece, which has the
additional sopport of much cosine bunion; in the
whole of the actin6. I'h,• house was crowded.

the vessel (lbeJoint clad Edward) .n which. he had
taken his passage was to sail the following day.
On Wednesday evening the Budget of
I Mavuews, the celebrated IriA Comedian, at-
tracted a crowded and fashionable audience to
our Town Halt : we diseoverea some of high
rank. Hemae patronised by sir J. littowrii, and
the Officers of tbe,Depot ; the great celebrity ac-
quired by Er. M. in Irish characters induced ns
to attend at the very opening of the Budget.
We CYpeeted a great deal, and were nut disap-
pointed. The talent of th,s Gentleman is of an
iginst and attractive nature, which we have cal-
culated from the very powerful impression made
upon his audience. He disphys more genuine
nature than we ever witnessed in any theatrical
etertions, and received the admirationiod ap-
