OPENING OF MONK'S FERRY TO THE PUBLIC.—The
Commissioners of Birkenhead. we understand, have given
notice that on and after the 25th of May, instant, boats
will run every half hour through the day, both ways, for
the conveyance of passengers, the contractors by the
Woodside ferry having tle privilege of using the Monk's
at their option.
THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, it will be seen by a refe-
rence to our advertising columns, open for the season on
Monday evening nest. We previously noticed the pro-
gress of the painting in commendatory terms; but as it
draws towards completion, it far exceeds the anticipations
sanguinely formed from the fame the artists have hitherto
enjoyed ; but es we shall, notice it more in detail next
week, we conclude by urging our readers to pay them a
visit the first opportunity after the opening.
WEEKLY STEAM MALLS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND
AMERICA.—The government have entered into a furber
contract with the British and North American Royal
Mail Company, the effect of which is to secure a weekly
communication by steam between Liverpool and the
United States of Amer;ca. A steamer of great power
and size will be dispatched direct from Liverpool to New
York every alternate Saturday, during eight months of
the year. These trips are to be performed as additional
voyages, and irrespective of the fortnightly voyages to
Halifax Ind Boston.

CORNS.—We feel very much pleasure in adding our
own testimony to Mr. Levi's proficiency as a chiropodist.
He has extracted corns from many gentlemen in this town,
and all whom he has operated upon state that the expedi-
tion, the freeness from pain, and Ills whole management,
of relieving them from this very troublesome annoyance
have far surpassed their expectation ; and that be may be
considered as without a rival in his profession. It is,
therefore, with the greatest confidence that we would
rec mmend all suffering from corns to profit by the pre-
sent opportunity, as the stay of this celebrated chiropo-
dist will be very• limited.—See adv.
THE ROYAL A &HI DIME ATRE.—A new piece, entitled
" The Carpenter of Rouen." was produced for the first
time at this theatre on Tuesday night. It possesses
scenes of much interest, into a description of which our
limited space precludes our entering. We may, however.
do so at a future period. In the meantime, we cannot
forbear expressing our approbation of the highly creditable
manner in which Mr. Hudson Kirby, Mr. George 'Wild,
Miss Williams, Miss Clara Bell, &c., enacted their
respective parts. The Ethiopian minstrels continue
favourites, as is testified by the plaudits with which they
are received.

LONDON CORN EXCII Na 8.--V_ xsTERDAy.

There has been alali supply of Wier t from the neighbottrior
counties' fresh up for this day's market, which met $ bealy
sale at a decline of 4s. to ss. per qr. from this day week, acad.
some quantity remained unsold at the close. Bonded supporta
its late value, and sells in small parcels to millers, to releasehy
certificates, which have declined to 9s. per qr., this. being the •
means resorted to for procuring it free, the stock, with very
few exceptions, being cleared off.
All descriptions of Barley must be written Is per quieter

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—YEsTEttnar.
The demand for the foreign stock was tolerably stellar, yet.
though offered at last Monday's quotations, the whole did :.et
find purchasers.

From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts free*
up this morning were tolerably extensive ; yet, as the ;Mena-
acre of buyers was somewhat numerous, the Beef trade vra.s
steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond. Friday's wives.
The numbers of Sheep were by no means extensive : while
the mutton trade was firm, and prev,ous rates were well sup.
ported.
From the Isle of Wight 300 lambs came to hand, while the
lamb trade was steady, at our quotations.
In calves and pigs—the suppl es of. which were rather
limited, exceedingly little business was done.
