THEATRE ROYAL, HAYMARKET.--Tho Walla this
nefit of Mr. Archer, the box-book-keeper of . ,
theatre, is fixed for Monday evening next, the r2trtol

se-
favour the occasion. Five first-rate pieces ar

Vestris and Mr. Charles Mathews perform i
characters, one being a comedietta, which having its
name still kept in secresy, is no doubt some extraor-
dinary delice. In addition to this expected surprisalt
the Sadgrove of Buckstone, the Felix Trimmer of
Farren, Mrs. Glover's Miss Bitterton, and Celes,te's
Suzanne, range severally among the attractions. The
Tarantella, by Mr. Charles Mathews is to be.dancedt
and Madame Vestris sings her charming song or
" Love is the Theme." , An over-crowded house will
of course be the result.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT NEWGATE MARKET.---This
morning, at about half-past four o'clock, as one of
the Sussex wagons was hurriedly unloading a very
heavy load of dead meat of all descriptions, near thp
end of Newgate-street, one of the heavy hampers, or
baskets, slipped from the top of the wagon and fell
directly upon the head tof. an Irish porter, named
Michael Donovan. lle was immediately crushed to
the earth, the weight of the hamper being upwards of
four hundred weight. On being taken up and car-
ried to the hospital, it was discovered that the verte-
brae of the neck were dislocated, and that death must
have been almost instantaneous. ,
NEW CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—It is reported
that a new Central Criminal Court is to be erected on
the site of the Fleet Prison. If this design be carried
out, it will be a material improvement upon the pre-
sent one, as the yard of the Fleet Prison extends s 3
far as to abut upon the houses in the Old Bailey,
nearly opposite the gaol of Newgate. A small tunnel
would at once afford the means of conveyance to and
from the CJourt.

MARKET NEWS.
DAY.)

C 0 VEXT-GanD YAM
Our market this morning Was, for the period of the
year, largely supplied with Vegetables, the quality of
which was very superior. Although the attendance
of dealers was rather numerous, the demand was in a
very sluggish state, at comparatively low rates of cur-
rency. Both English and Foreign Fruit was very
abundant, and cheap. Nearly 3,000 tons of Potatoes
have, we hear, zoached the Pool this week, from dis-
tant quarters, and we had .a heavy supply on offer
to-day. Potatoes, from 3s to 4s 2d per cwt. ; Tur-
nips, 2s to 2s 9d; Carrots, 3,6 d to 5s 6d; Coleworts,
or Greens, 2s to 3s ; and Leeks, is 2d to is 9d per •
dozen bunches; Onions, is 6d to 2s 6d; Apples, is 3d
to 3s; Pears, 4s to lOs 6d per half sieve; New
Oranges and Lemons, 8s to lOs ; and Walnuts, 10d to
ls 6d per hundred; Brocoli,- lOs to 18s ; and Celery,
12s to His per dozen bundles ; Endive, is 6d to
2s 3d per score ; Savoys, is 3d to 2s; and Red Cab-
bages, 2s to SA per dozen heads.
