description of Foreign or Colonial produce. The principal
entries in this port for home consumption during the past
three months, consist of 2,200 qrs. Wheat, and 11,460 bar-
rels Flour from British Colonies; 2,038 qrs. Beans, 1,105
Pease, and 2,835 qrs. Barley from foreign imports, besides

only ;5

s. Foreign Wheat realised from our previous
bonded stock, and the recent arrivals from the Baltic and
other directions.

The fresh arrivals of the past few days are scarcely worth
naming, the vessels supposed to be near at hand being
kept back by unfavourable winds, in which, however, we
had a change last night, with fine mild showers, indicating
every prospect of spring culture being satisfactorily com-
pleted. _ .

In the interval since Tuesday last, we have:had no:percep-
tibly improved demand, though the symptoms of a better
state of things in London this week have had some slight
effect towards a restoration of confidence, which may induce
a better inqury fur consumption, or at least check the down-
ward tendency we have so often, of late, had occasion to
write : at the same time, many of the interior markets being
nearly on a par with our own, we cannot immediately expect
a much extended business.

Upon a fair attendance of buyers at our Corn Exchange
to-day, the Wheat trade assumed rather a firm aspect, with
a moderate demand for English, Irish, and good qualities of
Foreign, at the full rates of Tuesday, and at an advance of
]d. per ifilbs. upon the general runs of Odessa and Meditter-
ranean. Flour likewise, though not readily disposed of, was
a little more saleable, and home made, as well as Irish and
Foreign, maintained our last quotations.

Barley, Malt, Beans, and yease remained in the same
languid state as noted in our last circular, and at the prices
then specified.

Oats, attended with a moderate inquiry, steadily supported
their previous value; and Oatmeal, attracting a tolerable
degree of notice, commanded a slight improvement upon last
week's currency.

THE CHAPEL. ROYAL.—The ceremony of consecrating the
new Chapel Royal, Buckingham Palace, took place on Sa-
turday, the Archbishop of Canterbury officiating. At twelve
o'clock, the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent,
entered the royal closet. The pews in the aide aisles of the
chapel were filled by the lords and ladies in waiting. On her
Majesty's arrival, the Archbishop accompanied by the Bishop
of London, proceeded with the consecration. The chapel is
erected on the site of one of the conservatories. The interior
has a very light and elegant appearance; the side aisles are
divided from the centre by two rows of fluted composite
columns supporting a pointed ceiling, divided into compart-
ments, and ornamented in stucco. It is lighted by windows
at the sides, finished with architraves, and surmounted by
pediments. The Queen's closet is elevated on Doric columns
across the west end of the chapel ; the altar fronts the royal
closet at the opposite end. The communion table had a cover-
ing of crimson velvet embroidered with gold ; the back of the
altar, the seats, and the cushions were likewise of the same
rich materials. The front of the Queen's closet, the pulpit,
and the reading-desk were also covered with crimson velvet,
edged with bullion fringe, and bordered with gold lace. The
royal closet is lighted by a number of small, circular-headed
windows, and corresponding windows are also introduced at
the other end of the chapel over the altar. The pews in the
side aisles occupied by the Lords and Ladies of the House-
hold, and the seats in the middle aisle are covered with crim-
son. After the ceremony, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
the Bishops of London and Norwich. and the clergy, and
also the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Household present at
the consecration, partook of a dejeuner at the palace.
