THERE was a very large market to-day— the largest for some months. Prices were tlower than heretofore, as follows :—Beef, small, from 8 to 15 cents ; de., by the quar- ter, from 7 to 10 cents ; mutton from 7 to 12 cents; lamb, per quarter, 50 cents to $100, veal, per lh:, 3 to 7. cents; perk, by the carcass, 5 to 5} cents; butter,. fresh, from 19 to-22 cents ; eggs, 84 to 9 cents ; potatoes, 20 to 25 cents; oats, 45 to 45 cents ; hay, 50 to 66, eents. A trespass case was trie? before Theoph. DesBrisay, Esq., this forenoon, between James MeCulloch’ vs. Patrick MeGuirk and James McGuirk, of Dromore Settlement. The nature of the trespass was: that the de- fendants, on the 26th ult., broke a road fence on the plaintiffs premises, and when the plaintiff remonstrated with them for doing so, they fired several longers at him, which struck and did him bodly harm. ‘The ss was proven, and ithe defendants were both fimed $1 and costs or 50 days imprisonment. Action will also be taken against them for assault. Wiwrer Rre.—We have in our sanctum several stalks of Winter Rye, which were handed to us yesterday by a gentleman of this city, who ‘says he plucked them in a field, on the Malpeque Road, belonging to Thomas Morris, Esq. The stalks measure about three feet long, and the ears, which are well formed, are some seven inches in length, and would likely ripen in about four or five weeks more. The seed which produced these stalks was probably mixed with other seed sown on the farm above re- ferred to about June last. Would it not be well for some of our farmers to try a small crop of Winter Rye, and see if it can- not be cultivated here with success and profit? Tue Concert last night im connection with the Baptist Sunday School of this city was in every way successful. The Chair was ozscupied by Mr. G. McLeod, Assistant Superintendent. A piece in which fifteen of the scholars recited in concert, was very well rendered. We have not space to men- tion the names of all these who took part in the Concert ; the number was large and the programme lengthy, but two who seemed to please the audience deserve special mention. Ada Hendly, a hitle child of about three or four years of age, sang and recited remarkably well for one so young. A recitation named ‘‘Now-a- days, or when I was young,” by Miss Glover, was very amusing and elicited ap- plause. Others, in our estimation, per- formed equally well, especially the younger children, whose artless simplicity gave an air of naturalness to what they uttered and sung. The singing by the whole school was fair. Miss Davics presided at the Organ and contributed largely to the sue- cess of the Concert. ‘The Church was crowded to its utmost capacity and ail pre- sent seemed to be exceedingly pleased and delighted with the evening’s entertainment. Concerts like the one of last night form one of the most pleasing features of Sabbath School work. They tend to draw into more ‘intimate connection teachers and acholars, parents and pastors, and we only regret that our Sunday Schools generally do not favor us more frequently with musical aud literary entertainments. They tend’ to develop the mental faculties of childie1 and piomot; happiness in connec- tion with religion. A collection was taken up at the Concert, the proceeds to be used for some charitable puapose. NEWS May 3U, y ba dail: reports of the ioy, formerly Secretary of the French Lega- tion in Berlin, and now Minister at Copen- hagen, is expected to draft the final pending the decision of the Congress. it is believed in Berlin that Greece will be invited to senda representative to the Con- gress.
