CHILDREN.-(THIS DAY.)

An Extraordinary- General Court of the Governors and
Subscribers of this Charity, of which his Majesty is the
Patron, was this morning convened, for the purpose of
moving a vote of thanks to his Royal Highness the Duke
of Clarence, for his having graciously consented to -Iceept
the office of Vice Patron, rendered vacant by the decease
of his lamented brother, and also for the purpose of con-
sidering a communication which had been received from
the Executors of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York.
The Chair was taken by Mr. Alderman GARRETT.
The CHAIRMA,N stated, that in consequence of the la-
mented death of his Royal Highness the Duke of York,
the Committee, in their zeal for the prosperity of the
Charity, had determined on soliciting his Royal Highness
the Duke of Clarence to accept the office of Vice Patron,
and had deputed him to communicate their wish. to his
Royal Highness. He, in consequence, by appointment,
had an interview with his Royal Highness, at Bushy Park,
at which his Royal Highness observed, that he would
gladly accept the office of Vice Patron.
THoltas Moutmze, Esq. begged to move a resolution
expressive of their lively and deep sense of gratitude to his
Royal Highness, for his patronage and support.
CHAS. FRANCIS, Esq. seconded the motion, which was
tarried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN next called their attention to a commu-
nication received from Sir Herbert Taylor, the friend and
executor of his late Royal Highness the Duke of York. It
would be read to them by the Secretary, after which they
would consider what was proper to be done upon the
mournful occasion.
The letter was as follows :-.
" The executers of his late Royal Highness the Duke of
York present their compliments to Mr. Carter, and have
been honoured with his Majesty's gracious commands to
forward to him, for the purpose of being presented to the
Royal Universal Infirmary for Children, the trowel used
by his Royal Highness in laying the first stone of that In-
stitution, as an interesting memorial which it is conceived
the Institution would be desirous of preserving.
" Horse Guards, April 14, 1827.
" P. S. The trowel is at the Horse Guards, and will be
delivered to the order of Mr. Carter."
The trowel was here produced by Mr. Carter, and hand-
ed round the room : it was a handsome silver one.
A Resolution of Thanks to his Majesty for his gracious
condescension having been proposed by Mr. J. Deason, was
carried by acclamation.
Thanks ware then voted to the Chairman, after which
the Meeting separated.

THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.)
CORN-EXCUANGE.
There were unusually short arrivals of all kinds of English
Grain last week, but a good quantity of Foreign Oats. This morn-
ing the supplies fresh up are scanty, and there is agood attendance
of buyers. Wheat of good quality has obtained Is. to 2s. per
quarter advance on the terms quoted last Monday. Barley fully
supports last quotations. Beans are more in demand, and Is.
per quarter higher. Pease of both kinds sell more freely than
of late. There is a fair demand for good stout Oats at the
rates of this day se'nnight. Tares are again considerably lower.
Linseed and Rapeseed also meet a very heavy trade.
