FISH-MARKET, BILLINGSGATE.

There was a plentiful supply of Fish at this morning's
market, which sold reasonable. The prices of Mackerel
were less than at our last quotations, from 325. to 60s. per
hundred (six score), were the prices. Fine Turbot sold
from Se. to 20s. each ; Mullets, from 24e. to 365. per
dozen. Salmon was rather higher, and sold from Is. Bd.
to 2e. per lb. ; Salmon Trout, Is. 3d. Fine large Hal-
libut, 21s. each. Good sized Brill, 4s. to ss. each.
Whitings, from 3s. 6d. to ss. 6d. per dozen ; Haddocks,
from Ss. 6d. to Bs. per doses ; large Soles, 35. 6d. per
three pair; Garnets, from Bd. to Is. 6d. each; Guards,
12s. per hundred ; Eels, 2s. to 3s. 6d. per five lb. Lob-
sters were very plentiful, they sold front 10s. to 20s. per
score ; Crabs Ss. 6d. to 15s. do. ; Prawns, Ss. 6d. to
4s. per lb. ; Shrimps, 2s. 6d. to 3s. per gallon. Oysters
were very scarce in the market, and those that were selling
arrived on Saturday, which was the last day of the Oyster
season ; consequently there will he no more arrivals till
August-the prices were much the same as our last.

PhIEON SHOOTING.

12 6

RED HOUSE au e.—The meeting was very strong last
Tuesday, and a great number of sweepstakes took place ;
the shooting on the whole was most excellent ; the betting
was only five to two on the birds, in consequence of the
matches being shot after Mr. Ross's new plan. The in-
terest excited by Mr. Osbaldeston's appearance was very
great. The match between him and Lord Kennedy will
take place early in June, at 300 birds each ; Mr. Osbaldes-
ton still continues the favourite.

whom the Royal Duke transacted official business.
The Duke of Clarence, the Duchess of Kent,
the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princesses Vic-
toria and Feodore, visited the Princess Augusta,

honoured the Marchioness of Hertford with their
company, to dinner, on Friday, at her residence
in Manchester-square.
The Princess Augusta attended divine service
yesterday morning, at the Chapel Royal, St.
James's Palace.—The Chapel was crowded by

cer, and Pomfret ; Lords Arden and Hill ; and

Palace, Kensington.
Yesterday, Mr. Canning had an audience of

It is said in the city, that twenty new Peers
are to be created, and that the Hon. Baronet,
the Member for Westminster, is to be one of

hem.

We are surprised to see the name of the Mar-
quis of Chandos at the head of a list of about
half a dozen persons, who are candidates for ad-
missionithis year into the Pitt Club. We thought
this folly had been at an end.
Charles Mathews gave his " Trip to America,"
at the Lyceum Theatre, on Saturday evening, to
a brilliant audience ; he was in high spirits, and
every point, from General Jackson to the affect-
ing scene at the Boston Post-office, told.
Miss Paton's retirement from Covent Garden
Theatre has, we perceive, enabled Mr. Wallack

to associate her unrivalled vocal talents with the
sweet strains of Miss Stephens, in the Opera of
Guy Manng.ring, which is to be acted at Drury-
lane Theatre next Friday. Brahaul, Liston,
Miss Paton, Miss Stephens,. and Mrs. Bunn
arc included in the powerful cast of this Opera
on that occasion.

We understand that Mr. 0. Smith is engaged
to superintend the Melo-dramatic department at
the English Opera House during the ensuing
season.

Yates closed a most successful season, with
his " Portraits and Sketches," and his admirable
monopolologue, called " Stop Thief," at the
Adelphi Theatre, on Saturday evening. The
Theatre was completely full, and the plaudits of
the audience at the conclusion of the entertain-
ment sufficiently indicated the popularity of Mr.
Yates, and a regret that, owing to a very im-
portant alteration connected with the interior
building of this house, Mr. Yates was compelled
to terminate his performances, for the present
season, before the usual period.
Since the retirement of Lord Eldon, and the
new Judicial appointments, many notices of ail;
peal for purposes of vexation or delay, have
been withdrawn,—the parties apprehending the
consequences of a hearing, from which, under
the Eldon system, they were perfectly secure.
This single circumstance speaks more to the
shame of the Ex-Chancellor than volumes of de-
clamation. It has indeed been his unhappy pe-
culiarity that dry facts have always been the se-
verest satires on his conduct.—Morn. Chronicle.
Two of the finest covers of the Melton Hunt
were last week set on fire by incendiaries.—
Stsford Advertiser.
Last week a servant girl at Perth, after hear-
ing her master and others talking seriously for
some time on the defection of his Majesty's Mi-
nisters, and the consequent dilemma in which
his Majesty was placed, with much naivete said,
" Can the King no just gang to another kirk ?"
Perth Courier.

A TALKING BLACKBIRD..---An Officer of
the Royal Navy, residing at Stonehouse, has in
his possession a blackbird, who has been taught
to sing " Hey the bonnie breast knots," and
snatches of " Darby Kelly," and other songs.
But the most curious is, that the very words of
the first song are distinguishable, and his tones
are rnort like the human voice than the usual
whistling of the blackbird. He commonly sings
by night, or in the fall of the evening !—Exeter
Paper.

At the last assizes held at Versailles, a female
residing in the neighbourhood was convicted of
a petty theft. " Marianne," began the Judge,
in passing sentence, " you have been found
guilty of stealing to the value of twenty sous."
" Vcry good," interrupted the young lady, put-
ting her hand, with infinite nonchalance, into
her pocket, " here is a thirty sous piece ; be so
obliging as to favour me with the change."

Doctor Hoadley Ashe, one of the guests
(lately dead), was nephew of Dr. Hoadley who
wrote the Suspicious Husband. I had the
pleasure of sitting next Dr. Ashe at dinner,
when he began a story with—" As eleven of
my daughters and I were crossing Piccadilly,—"
" Eleven of your daughters, doctor?" I rather
rudely interrupted. " Yes, Sir," rejoined the
Doctor. " I have nineteen daughters all living ;
never had a son ; and Mrs. Ashe, myself, li
and nineteen female Ashe plants, sit down
one-and-twenty to dinner every day. Sir, lam
smothered with petticoats."—Literary Gaz.

LIES OP THE DAY.

We understand that Mr. Peel has applied for a warrant
against an itinerant musician, for singing " Home sweet
Home" under his windows.

It is currently reported that Lord Londonderry said a
good thing in the House the other night.
We are credibly informed that Mr. Britton the anti-
quarian, is re-publishing a new edition of "Brown's Vulgar
Errors," with copious additions, extracted chiefly from the
speeches of Lord Londonderry and Mr. Dawson.
The Bishop of Chester, it is said, preached a sermon
last Wednesday, at St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate, on the du-
ties of Resignation. Mr. Peel, Lord Eldon, the Duke of
Wellington, and LeerWestmorland, were among the num-
ber of his audience, and appeared unusually affected.
It is whispered in the fashionable circles that Colonel
Berkeley has taken orders.
We hear that the Worshipful Company of Poachers have
transmitted a valuable piece of plate to Lord Elden, for
his having so handsomely acknowledged himself one of
their fraternity.

It is said that the Right Hon. R. Peel, goes a pleasuring
almost daily to Richmond, Turnham Green, or Brentford
Butts.

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.---Mr. Theodore nook, we
learn, has been suffocated beneath an immense quantity of
unsold copies of " John Bull," which fell upon his head
last Wednesday, from the shelves of the " John Bull"
office.

We understand that Ferdinand of Spain, has written an
autograph letter of condolence to Lord Eldon.
Sir Gregor M'Gregor, Cacique of Poyais, has entrusted
the Marquis of Londonderry, to draw up the Project of a
New Administration for that gifted country.
Mr. Murray, it is said, has offered Sir T. Lethbridge a
thousand pounds to write a political novel.
We understand that two cart-loads of sledge-hammers
have been sent down to the Rev. Mr. Cunningham, of
Harrow, for the purpose of knocking down the Catholic
religion in that neighbourhood.
