THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MARCH 9.
Although the demand for all descriptions of Grain was not very
brisk this morning, Monday's prices were fully supported for fine
samples of each ; and Oats sell freely in the face of a large arrival.
Supplies since our last return-4,900 luatters.of Wheat; 9,1.65
quarters of Barley; 13,200 quarters of English, with 12,400 quar-
ters of Irish Oats; and 6,200 sacks of Flour.
Corron—The Market is not much affected by air panic at Li.
verpool, and the reduition of 2d. per lb. in the prices in that port.
About 1500 bogs Were sold on Monday, about id. to id. per lb.
lower than the extreme high prices of last week ; and the market
had a firm appearance.

opened yesterday morning at rather higher prices, and the depres-
sion of ls. per cwt. last week submitted to, is again recovered.—

others 675. to 68s. There is, however, little :business doing. In
refined or in foreign there are few p nrchasei reported. The price.
nominally support the currency of last week.

Last night, Mr. MATHEWS rehearsed his forthcoming
entertainment befOre a select but delighted audience,

variety of character, it seems equal, if not 'superior, to
the happiest of his former effarts.

Jour; flotsam Esq. the new High Bailiff, has com-
menced his office with a zeal, activi:y, and humanity;
that bid fair to render him highly popular with the in-
habitants of Southwark. In consequence of an intima-
tiOnfrops the Itzconmin, he attended on Monday at the
Borough Court of Record, and giving directions r the
attendance of the Flesh-tasters (an ancient office in this
borough), who, it appeared, were not all aware of the
extent of their powers and duties, read to them the oath
they had taken, viz "to observe the flesh-market, that
there be no unwholesome fleAt sold, or exposed to sale ;
and if any offend therein, to present them, that they,
may be punish Ed."

he spends the evening with a few friends. Inde-
pendent of the personal exertions of the Colonel in be-
half of the creeks, he his preser.td them with no
less than twenty thousand pounds in :lid Of their cause.
Some of the first establishments in the City hare
already announced their intention of reducing the
price on wines by 1.55. per dozen on French, and 10s.
on all other wines. Coffee-houses, in general, have
given an intimation of a reduction of Is. per bottle on
Portuguese and Spanish wines, as also have the larger •
taverns in the suburbs, at which public -
are given during the -summer.
