THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of Grain this week are extremely small,
but we can do very well without, as abundance of every
kind remains in the market. The weather having been
fine since Monday, the trade in Wheat is, therefore, dull
to-day, and Monday's prices can hardly be supported.
Barley, Beans, and Pease, i.re unaltered. There is so
little doing in the Oat trade, that it is very difficult to
ascertain the value of that article. In Flour no alteration.

time will come when intrigues got up, and se'
crets Which are now kept, by some from motives
of interest, by others from ambition and thirst of
promotion, and by others from wounded pride
and personal feelings, will be known ; and then
only the page of history will be able to pass
judgment on numberless events which have taken
place under the eyes of thousands of witnesses,
wl'o actually did not understand or even see
what was going on. I commissioned a friend
at Constantinople some time ago to try and
out whether our friend --'s cousin, Lieutenant
—,—, was among the Russian prisoners there.
My obliging agent has been successful in ascer-
taining that the Lieutenant is not of the number
of captives in the capital. In giving me au ac-
count of his inquiries, my correspondent enters
into some details relative to the Russian
soners in general, which are not destitute of
terest. It appears that they were, on their fist
arrival at Constantinople, placed, by order of
the Porte, in the Baguio. They remained, how-
ever, but a short time there, the Danish Minis-
ter, Baron de Hubsch, who, though not one of
the representatives of one of the great Powers of
Europe, is held in high estimation both by tho
Sultan and his ministers, having exerted all
his interest to obtain their removal to a more
healthy and commodious spot. His humane
find
endeavours were crowned with every desirable
success, by the prisoners being all of them sent
to the great convent of the delightful island
of Halcki, where a salubrious air, and plenty 01
bodily exercise, soon restored them all to per"
feet health. The Baron also induced the Swe-
dish physician, Hedenborg, who is resident St
Constantinople, to give his medical attendance
to such of the prisoners as stood in need of it,
and the zeal and readine,,s with which he did so,
has met with a munificent acknowledgment on
the pa.t of the Emperor Nicholas. It appears
certain that Baron Hubsch has been privately
commissioned by the Russian Emperor to Ipol.
after these prisoners, which, owing to the favour
the Baron enjoys with the Sultan, is undoubt-
edly a fortunate circumstance for them. He

elusive use. My agent, in the pains he took t°
find out --'s cousin, saw and conversed °t
length with the most of the officers ; and he says
that language cannot express the gratitude they
seem to feel towards the Danish Minister.
" Here we are going on in the usual way'
doing a good deal of little business, and eel'
nay flattering ourselves that the crisis of
cal events is at hand. It is really wonderful
that this country should for so many years haye
withstood the influence of events which have
still
greatly organized it. Our exchanges are 6
high, and must continue so until things take
settled turn. This is the chief cause of injury
to European trade. Bills have been done 0°

THE REGATTA. —The regatta, the sec°n“
which has been held on the Mersey, took place on OOP
day and Friday last. it was, as might have been el- •
pected, much more interesting than the regatta of the pre'

London, which were desired to be sent by atesuP the

arrival of their parcel, but little dreamt by what mode
conveyance it was to reach its destination. Yesterday "ue
