The supply of English Wheat here was but moderate.
Selected parcels commanded full rates of currency ; but sill
other kinds were a slow inquiry. Foreign Wheat was in
sluggish inquiry, yet we can notice very little variation in
prices. Barley and Malt were a slow inquiry; but Oats,

was made, by attention to costume, &c., to make it the few

Palace ball was performed at Vauxhall. The whole went off
admirably, and the Gardens were crowded.

visit to Germany by the Sovereign will take place soon after the

prospects of the adventurers are so exceedingly good as
to have induced parties of great respectability and
capital to join them, and the works are in consequence
now carried on with much spirit ; there is every expectation that a
source of great profit will arise to those who are embarked in the
undertaking, and also to the landlord. The proposed Welsh Mid-
land Railway will afford increased facility for taking the ore to the
market, and must, in other respects, prove beneficial to the re-
sources of that part of the country. The employment of many
people in the mines will also be a great benefit to the district.—

SOUTH-EASTERN' LINZ.
The consideration of the above line was resumed by the C 001"
mittee at the usual honr, when
Mr. CoorcßußN proceeded with the examination of Mr. Stephensonf
who was about to speak to an error in the plans of the North Keel
line, which would render it impossible for them to keep within the
limits of deviation, when it was objected, on the part of the Noetb
Kent line, that this error had been pointed out by the Standid
Orders Committee, and had been corrected. This, however, was
found to be an error, and Mr. Stephenson proceeded to state the
nature of the error. London
r. Stephenson now proceeded to describe the proposed
th
and Croydon (Atmospheric) Railway. The gradients on is flee
were very steep. In his opinion, the Croydon Company had chosen
a very bad line of country, and treated it without any judilmen4
as even there they might have shown much better gradients. The
country they passed through was not only bad in an engineerinS
point of view, but was very little populated. This line did not 0.0
through Rochester, but approached it on the south side. The wit'
ness then pointed out the difference of distance from London to
Gravesend, Sheerness, Fevershain, &c., from which it appeared
that the distance, by the South-Eastern line, from London to Graine;ves'
end, was 611/4 miles less than by the London and Croydon l
and from London to Chilham, V, miles less. If the WO!:
pheric principle should fail, the London and Croydon could

some attention to the proposed line of railway. He was made ac-

most objectionable line. Beginning at the Trent Valley, he
thought it left the population and the minerals, and failed

LYCEUM THEATRE.

On Monday evening a new ballet, in three tableaux, called
Les Fees, was produced at this theatre with the most triumph-
ant success. The Danseuses Anglaises, whose performance
in the grand burlesque of Cinderella met with se much suc-
cess and applause, appearing in a new and elegant pas. These
clever children, who may now equally divide honours with their
foreign rivals, executed this pretty dance with the utmost grace
and precision. The ballet is composed by Mr. Frampton, and he
deserves very great credit for so pleasing a production. The
tableaux and grouping of the children are exceedingly beau-
tiful, the last one more especially, le palais des Fees, was very
beautifully managed, and loudly applauded. Master Forrest
also danced very cleverly. At the conclusion of the ballet
Mr. Frampton and the children were called for, and received
the unbounded applause of a house crowded to the ceiling.

THE ORLANDO AND RUNNING REIN TRIAL

A general meeting of noblemen and gentlemen, interested in
the trial of Wood v. Peel, was held yesterday, when it was
unanimously resolved :-
Ist. " That the surplus expenses, after deducting the costs
allowed by law, of bringing the matter to a successful issue
—(amounting to 3,0651.) should not be allowed to fall ex-
clusively upon the owner of the horse, but should be borne
by other winners in common with him, in proportion to the
sums of money respectively secured or saved to each party by
the result of the law proceedings in the Court of Exchequer.
2nd. " It was further unanimously resolved :—That an ap-
peal should be made through the public press, to all those
who had benefited by the defeat of the Running Rein fraud,
either in the shape of direct winnings on Orlando, or by
being saved from loss through the establishment of Running
Rein's pretensions, to contribute a per tentage upon their
by-bets, sweeps, or lotteries, to the liquidation of the liabi-
lities hereinbefore mentioned."
The following mem. is appended to the resolutions :
" The winners, and those who have been saved from loss,
are respectfully and earnestly requested to communicate with-
out delay, the amount upon which they may be assessed, to
Messrs. Wetherby, No. 6, Old Burlington-street.

NEW ZEALAND.

Captain ROUS gave notice, that he would withdraw the

Zealand Company were a violation of the rights of the Crown.
PLAY-GROUND AT MILLBANK.

Lord R. GROSVENOR said that he wished to ask a
question of the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the
Home Department respecting the ground which had been
lying waste for a number of years near Millbank Penitentiary.
When he left London last year he had understood that this
piece of ground, which consisted of about five or six acres, in con-
formity with sanatory regulations recommended in the report of
the Health of Towns Commissioners, should be left unbuilt upon
for the recreation of the inhabitants. The banks at that spot
were washed by the tidal water, which had always been
considered greatly contributive to health. But he was
surprised at being subsequently informed that the Noble
Lord at the head of the Woods and Forests, and
the Secretary for the Home Department, had decided on
letting the land on budding leases. The whole less would be
not more than 1,0001. in the first instance, and about 3001.
a year afterwards. He wished to know whether it was still
determined to withhold this advantage from the inhabitants of
that populous neighbourhood?
Lord LINCOLN said that the circumstances were these
the land consisted of sixteen acres, and was let on lease about
five or six years ago. All this ground was let on build..
ing leases, and was now covered with buildings.

SANATORY REGULATIONS.

The Marquis of NORMANBY said that he had given notice
of a petition to be presented this evening on tl.ll6'subject of
sanatory regulations, but before he proceeded to present it he
might mention a statement which had been put into his hand
connected with the same subject, and coming from a particular
body of men—the journeymen tailors of the metropolis. The
subject, he might add, had been greatly discussed in Man-
chester and Liverpool. It appeared from that statement
four-fifths of the clothes made in London were made in the
lower classes of dwelling-houses in the East-end. He (Lord
Normanby) had himself seen in houses of that character clothes
which were evidently not intended for the classes of persons
who were likely to visit in those places, and he believed
that they were .made up for some of the West-end clothiers.
If the Noble Lord opposite would allow him, he should put
put a general question to the Noble Lord as to whether
the measure promised by her Majesty's Government was likely
to be brought on in the other House. He should also wish to
ask a question with respect to places of recreation, and parti-
cularly with reference to that piece of ground near the Peni-
tentiary—a place not far removed from their Lordships—
( Laughter)—and which he supposed might be applied to this
purpose.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH said that with respect to the
first question he believed it was the intention of his Noble
Friend in the other House (the Earl of Lincoln) to bring his
Bill forward that evening; and as regards the piece of ground
near the Penitentiary, it had been let some time
ago to Mr. Cubitt for 3001. a year, and according to the
provisions of the Act could not be diverted to another purpose.

This line of railway will form the continuation of that from Paris,
1 Creil, and St. Quentin, to the Belgian frontier, and when completed
will join the Charleroi and Erquilinnes Railway.
In offering this undertaking to the public, it is important to re-
mark that the Belgian Government ceded to the above-mentioned
Directors, by Royal Ordinance of the 28th May last, the branch line
of railway above referred to, from Charleroi to Erquilinnes (the
French frontier), and consequently this line from St. Quentin to
Maubeuge will give a direct communication by railway from the
Seine to the Rhine—from Paris to Boulogne.
These facts are sufficient of themselves to establish the importance
of the St. Quentin and Maubeuge line, which has been carefully sur-
veyed, and offering no engineering difficulty will be promptly exe-
cuted..
Prospectuses will be ready for distribution on Thursday, the 12th
instant • meantime applications for Shares can be addressed to
Messrs. Graham and Co., 20, King's Arms-yard, London;
Messrs. Hill, Fawcett, and Hill, 29, Threadneedle-street, London;
