MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The supply of English Wheat here was but moderate.
Selected parcels commanded full rates of currency; but all
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
Beans, and Peas were quite as dear.

WILSON'S ENTERTAINMENTS.--OH Monday even-
ing Mr. Wilson gave his favourite selection of songs at Store-
street, and was greeted by a numerous and fashionable assembly.
Many of the songs were those which Mr. Wilson has sung for
years, but which never lose their freshness and interest, when
given as he alone can give them, as was abundantly testified
on Monday night by the hearty plaudits of the audience. Next
Monday evening Mr. Wilson announced he should give his
famous Jacobite entertainments—The Adventures of Prince
Charles, for the last time, on which occasion, we hear, that the
boys of the Caledonian Asylum are to be present, in the garb
of old Gaul, and many gentlemen besides, in their National
costume. This cannot fail to throw an additional interest over
the spirit-stirring strains of the '45, and we anticipate a de-
lightful evening.
BRISTOL AND LIVERPOOL 'JUNCTION...O.AD impor-
tant scheme has attracted considerable attention in the City,
viz., the Bristol arid Liverpool Junction Railway, the principal
feature of which is a fixed bridge over the Severn at the Old
Passage. The evidence given in the South Wales Committee
on Friday has established the practicability of the undertaking.
A bridge over the estuary, twenty-eight miles below Glouces-
ter, would be a work of great national and local importance ;
commanding as it would the entire traffic between the south-
western portion of England and the whole of South Wales. To
Bristol it would be of great benefit. Any scheme of a direct
railway communication northward from Bristol would be in-
complete and comparatively useless without a bridge over the
Severn ; as not only would the passengers be still liable to the
dangers of the Ferry, but Bristol would be denied the advan-
tage of her conveying her produce into the great mineral dis-
tricts of Monmouthshire, South Wales, and the Forest of Dean,
by railway ; while Liverpool, the competing port, would have
no obstacle to contend with. The Admiralty has already de-
cided against the Hock Crib-bridge, as being an impediment to
the free navigation of the river ; and, we understand, it is in-
tended to obviate that difficulty by carrying the bridge at the
Old Passage from cliff to cliff, above the masts of passing yes-
sels.—Morning Paper.
