THZ WRECK OF THE CALEB EMIGRANT SHIP. The following detailed Meant of the diseloontion by fire of the ship Caleb Orimabaw, with the loss of 101 passengers, has bola communicated to a morning contemporary by an eyewitness of the melancholy even', who Wroth, he sale, from notes taken at the time : The Caleb Orimehaw sailed from Liverpool on the 23rd of hat Cocteau. with a "soma eargo, besides 100 tone of opal, mid. 1 believe 600 or 700 tons ot bon. She corded 427 pas with ir chides, Oa in the whip ; the crew numbered 18, with four mates, there being oleo a steward and stewardess, the tomato, his wife gad child, a doctor, sad two sook•—in all, 467 souls. For nearly three weeks we experiewed no thing bet cm nary winds sad oasts. and the ant fair wind we mat with was en the day the fire was dissonred--flunday. Nov. 11. It was the first day we had our studding Wisest. Oar latitude the day before was 41 deg. 8 nen. 14. longit u de 36 deg. W. At the time the accident occuleed in longitude about 37 deg. 30 min. W. At 9 creicel p.m., the skip being wader all sail, wing about two knots, the alarm of are was Peen, smoke Whig observed to ascend from the fool hatchway. la a few minutes all was waft, sion ; th• steerage passeorres rusted up from their berths, and came aft at the quarter dick, lyleg and kneeling down in all directions, impeding the emetics" of the crew, and hardly anemias the commands of the captain to be Leard shove their cries. A large force-pump on the forecastle deck was immediately manned and a hoes fastened to it, which played down between decks. By this mew mid the emplopneat of the slip's bock ats, there was seem a wad devable pantity of water between dews, bat still substa mew of the smoke. It was now evident the fire was in the lower hold; the hatchway. which had bees can ked end pitched over whet leans' Liverpool, was therefore opened, whoa immediately thick whisaiss of smoke ascended. The hose wee now &rested down this hatchway, fresh hands were sammoised to the pump, and in about as hoar, the emoke se ageoring to decrease, Mr. liwie, the first mate, vothst to go down and try if he could eel the fire. A rope was accordingly tied round his I body, but he had hardly been lowered below the hatchway when he called out, and was immediately hauled up agsia quite insensible from the smoke. Ibis report when after several minutes he recovered, was very discouraging ; he said she wee all on fire below. The exestioas of chore at the pump were redoubled, and a colorant stream of water di rected below. Several of the passengers volunteered their services, but a great sassy had to be drives from among the owns and children, where they lay = i ttlg and toy ing. While the captain and mates were a number of the passer gen got into the larboard quarter boat, sad lowered her. She was immediately swamped, and about 12 were drowned. Shortly atter the alarm ot fire the an at the wheel deserted his poet, end he, the boatswain, the second cook, with one or two others of the crew, having placed two compasses and some provisions and water is the stern beat, got into her, lowered her, and remained in her astern of the vessel, to which they did sot return for several dap. As soon as the form pump and buckets were regularly at work most of the sail was taken in, and the ship hove aback. By this time it was about midnight, and quite calm, and had the veinal had a gun on board , it ought to have been fired ell the night through, but, strange to say, she wag totally unprovided with cannon, nor do I think she had rockets or blue lights either—at least, none were burnt. There were two large tanks of water on the main deck, each containing 1,100 gallons. These the pareagen stove in, in spite of the captain's exertions to prevent them. They said the fire must be put out at any cost. About 2 o'clock in the morn ing of Monday the 12th, as the smoke was not observed to increase, the first alarm subsided and the ere iest ceased, the people for t h e mostpart falling asleep. la the course of the nioht the starboard quarter boat was got down and veered astern, with throe of the crew he her ; the stern boat was already lowered, and the ether quarter boat, which had been sweimped, wee baled out by the first mate Ned one or two of the crew; she was also pitied astern, and three as placed in lo r, while all the boats also we been re provided with oars, provisions and wager having placed is each. Dawn disclosed a scene of contusion—the quarter deck covered with filth, in which were lying women and children in all directions, while up the foreaaoh the *make still continued to ascend, and it was penetrating slowly into the c abin. Some of the crew now preosred to launch the long-boat, while others emasienced makieg a raft, and the smoke being observed stealing act the pumps near the mainmast were set to work. The long boat was launched about 9 a.m. and pasted astern; the cayrain's wife and child were lowered tnt, out of his state room window, through which ware also passed some compass'', corn, am, and Una the whin presagers • ere lowered over the sorra of the vessel Whin this was going on the nor • became painful in the outwit.. • some rushed to the captain's -ate room beeeeehlag him ' to awe them ; numbers crowded tonal be *term where the emend mate was employed lower ing the ladies into the long boat ; When were to he seen at their proven, while mothers and Widths, husbands and wives, embraced each ether and mingled their tsars out door. At this trying period the cooduct of Rootlet and DM astmeted money. While the English generally wawa ea await their fate in silent resignatoin, the Irish Wage lewd is their lamentations, notwithstanding that a Mined MI bees employed giving them absolution ad the alskt sad wwwalag. A remarkable instance of their ezt them love of life was exhibited by t wo girls, who lowered selves by a rope hewing over the stela, although they were told that they would not be admitted into the boat ; they were, bolo Ter, token In, after being left Waging ia the water ustil they were nearly ezhawned. Four of to e snood cabin passengers, too, got is, and two Irishmen forced themselves on board, have Wisely deserted their wives in the burning vessel. When the writer left the ship for the lorgboat, the cabin floor was quite warm and smoke was coming up through the seams of the Aarck, so th et the fire was evidently extending to the after pert eif the reuti. In the afternoon the eaptais came off, and wee put on board the longbost. On his leaving the gene el's side, the poor . creatures oa board set p aal cry, " Oh, capt ain dear, save uS! one us!" He told them he was not going to leave them, and that he would stay by the vessel to the leas. Why he did not stay in the vessel remains to be explained. Before be left the crew had made two more ono of these was launched. and about 30 persons got ra p s, when, (wino It wbuld be overcrowded, they cut themselves mina, and so o n after hoisted a small sail and went off to the eastward before the wind. It is mot probable they ell perised in ada or two, AS, although they had a barrel of beef and one of p ork, they had very little water, and I believe no breed. All blonds? night and all Tuesda and Tuesday bight the ship lay to with the boats astern. On Tuesday raornmo the chief mate came off is one of the boats and brought some provisions and a swell tin veseel of water for the loos boat. Trey had passed a terrible night oar board. No sooner had the captain left than the steerage pistons rushed into the cabin, cut and broke open all the nooks sod bar: s they could lay hands on, and rifled them of their contents. They found two cases of brandy and a few bottles of wine, after having consumed which they bowie wh very radiot4, attaceiag the first mate and some of the crew, o h g ou reat difficulty in preserving their lives. They succeeded in taking vino two guns from them, and threw than overboard, and ha armed themselves with pistols and icon,' kept these in furiated savages at bay until the effects of the brandy wore riff, when they beams quiet enough. In the course of the day the beets brought us off a few mattresses, blankets, and loaves of the cabin table, which were laid along the bottom ot the boat, and which were very welcome, as she was leaky, mod shipped so meek water over her aides that two men were kept constantly baling her oat. Oa Wednesday morn ing, the 14:b, a cask of bread was bre-tight us; the crew had found a isask of flour the evening before, sod the cook was employed baking it the whole night, This was very acceptal as we had no s breed in the long boso and heed been eub-tetiag ... . loe coke and cheese. wiih • resit pickles. About 9 a.m. the ship washquared away Wore the wind, and ran on all day about nort by west, towing the boats after her. Why they did not run her fur the At ass the day before, when the w.nd was favourable, seems very strange. She had now nine feet of water in her hold, but still the smoke eseended from the hatches, though they had been covered down spin to smother the fire as much as poi- Obi". We observed a good deal of smoke also issuing from the cabin windows and from the ventilstors in the stern. On Wednesday night she ley to, the captain consideong it unsafe to carry on during the night, as the long boat was Aiming seas over her bows and sides, being mh too heavily laden. She had 25 or 26 peoons in Ler, an d. iood deal of useless lumber besides. which =WO, have been thrown overboard. In the evening they anted an old cover of a soil along the gunwale, and drew it over the boat, covering her like a tent ; this kept off a go d many heavy sav e and doubtless saved us from being swamped screwed times in the course of the night. As it w. a, b- lug quite wet through by the rain, which poured down in torrents,. and by tight. washing continually over us, we swat a miserable night. On Thursday Nothing, the lOh, the wind below fi vourahle, the mates and crew begged of the captain n. but the ship about god steer for the Azores. This he at last consented to do, and this day we made a run of s me 60N., or 90 miles. At noon we were in latitude 41 deg. 33 min. rather longitude 36 deg. 45 m in. W. All it MILS bit:ll6llg hard. we lay to again during the night. Friday, the 16th.--We made sail again this mor.ing at dawn, but by 9 a.m., it fell ne arly calm. Early g this morn t i ing some ot us went tack to the vessel, pi had lain fou l da y s ne rrio wythiag remaining in the long boat, where we cud tights, side by side, without being able to chat ge our position, and comple tel y wet through. were tak e n ou In the cour of her, se of the ((MOMS the rest of the passengers t the captain still remaining, doctor, steward, and stewardess, and mew of the boat. the While in the boat ell bon their offering. wiehout a mum mar, with the exception ot the catetaiii's wife ; eke, poor women never ceased to complain for four long date sod nights, 'thus rendering the position of the others still mire unpleasant then it otherwise would have beta. Be tween 9 sad 10 was the man on the look out sew a oil; the ship was immediately put about, and stood after her bat there being very little wind, the second mite, with five hands, went off is one of the boats to try and overtake her. In about two hours we made her oat a barque, standing west by north.

To add to our despair, about 3 o'clock in the massing we lost sight of the Sarah's light, and were thus left to ourselves, without satent, chro nometer, chart, or anything to guide us. At length morning broke, when, to our great joy, we discovered the Sarah five or six miles ahead of us. We carried on alter her for several hours, afraid she was going to leave us, when, about two o'clock p m. she shortened sail, and in an hoar we ease up with her.

While pasaisg her, the poor creatures on board called out for t t Warn ! water !" bet, as the MS was too high to risk • boot, nothing could be done to alleviate their sufferings. She followed us pretty well under her fore and main topsails, foresail, and foretop mast oared ; the crew were too weak to make more sail on her. She seemed much shaken this manliest ; the masts were all loose, the mainmast especially, which shook several feet from side to aide, as the vessel roiled. The fore topgal lant sail, too, was blown to ribbons. Tuesday, the 20th.—The era was still running too high to attempt removing the rest of the pamengers, but early this morning a boat was sent on board with the second mate and seven fresh hands, who soon made sail on her—settlag the mainsail, mein topgallant sail, and mina topsail. The boat brought off the five men who had been on board the wreck. They had a rad tale to tell. On Sunday night 20 cited, last night 16, and four more this morning. Though most of these perished from thirst, it is probable tome had poisoned Menteelves, as they had broken into the doctor's room, and drank laudanum and whatever other liquors they found there. At 11 a.m. we saw lend, about 40 miles distant, which proved to be Flores. By 8 p.m. we were under the lee of the island, and the boats were employed all night removing the people from the burning vessel, which task was safely completed by u o'clock in the morning of Widnes-' day, the 21st, when the first mate and men who had bees employed in it removed the hatches, and shortly after the flames burst out. The ship burnt from the stern forwaid, l the raison mast falling first, and thee the main mast, whisk fell before the limes =ached the main topgallant sail. The last we saw of her was about 10 a.m. ; she was then some we miles south-west of Flora. We made but little progress this day, the wind being against us. As there were but six small maks of water p u tord and all ow for one week, the people had t., bon short nce; all that could be afforded each person was half a pint of water and half a be. cult, morning and evening. Thursday, the 22nd.—Eight bodies were thrown over. 1 based this =eyeing, two women and six children, having died in the night. The pear people were all crowded to gather on the main deck, quite exposed to the weather, which fortunately was not cod, or no doubt many more would have perished in their then weak state, several not I having tasted water from the Sunday till the Wednesday morning. It fell nearly calm about nOOO, but in the after. moon a breeze sprang up, In tar favourable that we were 'just able to lay our tonne for Fayal. On the morning lof Friday the 23rd we found ourselves about 16 miles to 1 leeward of the island, with the wind right against as. We were all that day and night beating up to wmdward, when at length, on Sate:day, the 24th, about noon, we made the harbour of Fayal, at which time there were only two small mike of water remaining, and two hundredweight of bread. Shortly after we dropped anchor. We were now Worsted that we should have to ride quarantine for five days. The British consul immediately sent ns off bread and water, whilema et Sem the and w ide., Mr. Dabney, we received a pre- me ethers Nene Bey, Sunday, the 25th, was employed getting water and gtheisseea ore hod, and is taking off about 100 persona l eis ; and the ship was brought • little further is thharbour in the course of the day.

An elderly lady, a cabin passenger, intreated to be allowed to go ; but Captain Moil* gave the preference to his mates, and even to his servants. Oa Monday, the 26th, nearly 100 more were taken off to the Omelette ; and, owing to the repeated complaint of Cap. tab Cole about the state the people were in, lying exposed on the duke, we were informed that our quarantine would be over the next morning. It having came on to blow fresh from the south west, an additional anchor tied chain cable WWII brought from shore, which were let go la the atter sem The wind still increasing we let go mother anchor; but at dark the gale blowing still harder we began to drag all three anchors At 10 p.m. we parted our best chain cable, and, during the next hour and a half dragged our others about 600 yards. Our danger was now imminent, as the betaken could be seen almost under our stern, and we were driving right on a frightful lee shore. We thought it heed to pride thus, having escaped destruction so lately, to be sacrificed to those absurd quarantine laws: and, harder still, that Captain Cook should die a victim to his humanity in saving our lives. Just after he bad come down to tell the ladies to get up and dress themselves, and when fi ve minutes more would have seen us on the rocks, the w.nd suddenly chopped round to west, and the vessel was said. It was found nest morning, on weighing anchor for the pureose of getting the easel to safer marriage, further in the hat%our, that both the nukes of one of the two ranaining anchors were broken. On Tuesday, the 27th, the remainder of the parsengers were taken ashore, where we experienced every kindness and atteution trim the consuls. Nothin g could equal the tenants of Mr. Dabney in particular. Thus, after more than two weeks suffering and privations, and at the tisk of starvation, sad, as it afterwards prove:, of shipwreck to himself and crew, the lives of 3.36 human beings IMO saved by means of Captain Cook's noble and praiseworthy conduct. Ninety-two were missing when all were got on board the Sarah, eight died on the passage to Faysl, and one after we came to anchor. 01 the 92 about 30 went off on the rats the day after the accident, 40 perished from want of water and food, abut 12 were drowned by the swamping of the quarter b at, and the remainder were pro bably smothered in their berths.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN CORN TRADES DURING TEE PAST WEEK. (From the Meek Lase Express.) The weather has been very variable gime over last, and the changes which have taken place have had more or ism influence ea the tone of the trade. In the early pert of the week the temperature was high, and a pod deal of Tula fell, which natavally led to the belief that scam el ' the nearer contbsental ports, previmely hems ap, might perhaps be again set free, and allow shipments to lee mad*, or at all events enable the vessels already lads., bat caught in the lee, to prosecute their voyage. :he Why of larger supplier reaching us than bad bees deemed lately - , induced caption ; and Midges generally asked rather ashamed rates for wheat, boyars conducted their operations with such extreme cirmemapes. ties, as to render it no easy matter to establish any ad vance.

The sletlet advance which has hem demanded has, as we have already intimated t kiss paid 1 , with great reluctance ; still some improvement hill Meer DO. I tablished, prices of wheat having tallied ls. to 2s. per qr. from the lowest point of depression. The consumption of bread Is, perhaps, unpreeedentedly great This is not so much owing, we are Daffy to am, to any improvement in the general condition of the worlds, claw s, as to the feet that bread is now one of the cheapest articles of food. But, whatever the came, the fact is undo nights ; and enormous as have been our imports during the iast twelve months, the end of the year finds us with nom' partitively light stocks on hand. The quantity of foreign corn held at the different pets in I the coast is relatively smaller than that in the Leaden gra- ' narks ; but even hare the stock is by no means heavy. It is, however, difiloult to restore con fi dence after so long and severe a period of depression, 614 as yet there are bat very slight symptoms of recovered animation. At most of the large consuming towns in the north holders have attempted this week to realise a small enhancement OD previeus prices, which has had the .fleet of °kicking business, and the transactions appear, oa the whole, to have been of rather retail character.

The new crop of coffee came to market only in v ry small parcels, which were eagerly taken off at 10 dole. to 104 dole. for first, and 81 dole. to 94 dole. for second and third, for the United States. The coming crop, it is 'teed, will be exceedingly small. A cargo of Guernsey coal had been disposed of at 5 dole. per ton. In freights, namely anything was doing. One vessel for Cowes bad been chartered at 21. 2s. 6d. The ex- change on London had given way, and was quoted -- • - 113 to 12 per cent. prem . .' Letters from St. Jago de Cuba state that the heavy rains which have f.llen hive interfered with the gathering of the coffee crop. Fair lots of tobacco had found takers at 12 debt. to 121 dole. for two-third wrappers and one-third fillers. Exchange on London, 495 dole. 60e. Advice, from Bahia of the 7th November state that the progress of the crop during the last fort night had been retarded by rain. The market for sugar opened at 1,600 re. to 2,000 re., but the quantity offered at these rates was very limited, the large holders being unwilling to accept them. The receipts of cotton in October were 2,554 bags. The price had advanced to 4,800, equal to 4 65-100 d. per lb. Eo. b. The produce market not having fairly opened, very little was doing in freights. Exc ha nge on London, 27d. From Rio de Janeiro dates have been received to the 24 November via Franco. The advice. front Europe and America had given a fresh impulse to the market, and caused an advance in the price of coffee.

The exports in October were 112,075 bags, of which about 70,000 were for the United States, and 30,000 for Europe. Sugar, white, 2,400 re. to 2,700 re.; brown, 1,700 re. to 1,900 re. In hides not much was doing. Freight to the Channel was quoted 40e. Exchange on Lon don, 271 d. to 271 d. ; on Hamburg, 640. At Buenos Ayres, on the 15th October, the market continued without any alteration both for exports and imports; 165 vestals were in port. Exchange on London, 63 to 631; ounce', 282 to 2821. Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope to the 3rd November. Commerce at the Cape was at a complete standstill, and no exchange for government bills on this country was quoted.

MONEY MARKET. on Fitidiy as before. The accounts from Hull and Leeds, of Tuesday's date, de scribe the trade in wheat as firmer than it had previously been, but certainly not more animated ; fine samples were, however, quoted about la. per qr. higher than on that day *slush/lit, at each of the places named. At Birmingham, on Thursday, no advance could be esta blished ; and at Bristol, on the same day, a rise of Is. per qr. was with difficulty obtained on Engloh,whilst foreign moved off slowly at former rates. Wakefield, upwards, fFridaayt ne t an t so dec i dedly so of a im e d i I l a; char Th se e te a rt u h n e ta ten fr d om ency being b so as to warrant alteration in quotations. The somewhat firmer tone of the &deices from the south, and a falling off in the supplies of both home and foreign grown wheat, appear to have imparted more firming* , to business in the Scotch markets; still there was no actual rimel in the vales of the article, either at Bdieburgh or Glasgow, on Wednesday. The letters from Ireland genteelly obsene silenee in re spect to the state of the potatoes in the pits, which induces us to hope that they are keeping as well as was expected ; but this supposition is somewhat weakened by the gradual manner in which the value of Indian corn is advancing at some of the large markets on the other side ofo nly .boot th suf- Channel. The supplies of grain appear to have been ' ficient for the demand, and quotations of wheat had rather tended upwards. The arrivals of wheat coastwise into London have been small, only 3,005 qee. having been reported up to this (Sit , turda) evening ; nor has any increase taken place in the ' quantity brought forward by land ge samples from the home counties or the off. rs from the east coast. Trifling. however, u have been the supplies, they have kept puce with the demand ; the Lt tar having been very far team waive. On Wednesday the Essex, Hen& and Suffolk stands were quite bare, and there was little offering from Lincolnshire es Cambridgeshire, but the millers manifested nos ns of being in any immediate meat, mid prime remained lima., many the same as in the beginning of the week. Blau then ' there has been no addition to the supply, and salaams* et salinity position gars on }ri ds, as previously. Tee weddy average price for wheat for the kingdom, published es Thursday, 38s. Pd., is the lowest return we have had dace 1836. The boisterous weather in the early part of the week kept bath supplies, and but few cargoes of wheat have sr. rived from abroad at this port, the total quantity received amounting to only 12,338 qn. A large preportion of wheat previously came to hand has new been landed by the im porters, and there is consequently at present no particular pressure on the market. Meanwhile we are unable to notice any improvement in the country demand, nor have local buyers shown any disposition to add to their stocks. The transactions on Wedaesday, as well as on Friday, were on quite a retail scale, but there was no giving way in prices; indeed, suu rim parcels of old were held fur rather more money at the close than in the beginning of the work. The nominal top quotation for town-made flour has been steadily supported, and fresh ship marks have excited rather more attention. Norfolk and other country householi flour has met a better demand this week, and the best kinds of French have commanded fully former terms. Barley of home growth has come rather sparingly to hand, and the arrivals of foreign have been on a more moderate scale than we have lately been in the habit of receiving. Fine malting sorts have been in request, and have brought lull terms ; but we can notice no improvement either the value of or in the demand for the commoner descrip tions. Foreign barley has been taken to a moderate ex tent for grinding, at similar prices to thorns realised on !downy. The operatioas in malt have been of but little interest, and the value of the et tiele has undergone no variation requir:ug notice. The arrivals of oats have been altogether small ; but a good supply is known to be on pauses from Scotland, and tolerably large receipts may also be expiated from abroad. Under these circumstances, the dealers have an nd t deemed ss it advisable to follow up their late purchases, et he done, both on Wednesday and Friday, was of a compara tively retail character. tithe quantity on board ship at this port baying, however, been greatly . diminished of late, the one, and throughout the week as maintained a ecide any pre- TiAlll period. The moderate rates at which beans have been offered has failed to lead to a more active demand, and sales were as dif ficult to effect at the close of the week as oat Monday. Nothing of interest has transpired in Indian corn at this tiLt a. a t :t r diaiverPool, prices of this article have tended uu- The weather appears to have undergone a somewhat simi lar change on the continent to that experienced here abut the Itch ins , .

From the Upper Baltic ports our letters are not of such recent dates ;and up to the 15th lest. there sums to have been little prospect of shipaientsbeiog resumed.

The quantity of grn growers had, meanwhile, been moderate; and notwith standing the direouraging reports from the British markets, holders had refused to take lower rates fur fine els. qualities of w heat. The best high mixed (old) was then still quoted to 43'., and new from 355. to 38s. per qr., according to weight, condi.ion, &c.

Letters of the 14th from Naples mention that the price of oil had advanced considerably, owing to ex. i tenaive transactions which have been going on for I some time on speculation ; but without an incressedl export demand, it was generally thought the ruling prices could not be maintained. Gallipoli was quoted D. 25.58 per salon, equal to 281. Bs. 63. per ton, f. o.b. Exchange, 579.

Hamburg advice@ of the 21st state that the specu lative demand for coffee continued unabated, and that the transactions of the week amounted to 55,000 bags Brazil, at 43 for ordinary, to 6 schillings for fine ordinary, which is a slight advance over last week's prices ; and abut 10,000 bags of other descriptions at correspond ling rates. Holders were very firm, and the market wss still looking up. Au improvement was percepti ble in the sugar market, and business had been dune to the extent of about 1,600 packages of various kinds at full prices. In rice and cotton nothing was going forward of the least importance. About 4,000 serous of Cuba tobacco had exchanged' hands at market rate,. Pepper and pimeuto were very firm, with an upward tendency, although very little had been does in them during the week. Cocoa had again advanced in price. Train oil was held at 48 Intl kn. Business had been done in speller to the extent of 6,000 centners at a slight reduotion in price. The wool market had been rather active, and several parcels of Prussian and Mecklenburg fleeces were disposed of at 18; to 21 schillings hence. In grain nothing was going forward; the prices, nevertheless, were remarkably firm, and offers at a reduction of one to two dollars had been refused. The exchange on this country was a shade lower, 13.9 for 3 months ; gold, 436 marks. Public lands were firm. Money was in more request. St. Petersburg advice' of the 13th complain of the continued absence of snow, which prevented the opening of the communication with the interior, and, consequently, scarcely anything Misdoing in imports. In Russian products business was equally inactive. Something had been done in tallow at 114 R. with hand money for August, but since then the price was not so firm. In flax nothing had been done, and it was expected the pretensions of the holders would h ive to give way, in consequence of the lower prices which ruled in Riga. In hemp there was no change to notice. Clean on the spot might be had at 80 to 84 IL prompt. The exchange we. : On London, 37 11-16 to 370.; Amsterdam, 1883 to 189. The arrival of the steam-packet, Dee, at South ampton, puts us in potreestou of dates from Jamaica to the 22nd November, and from Mexico, to the 15th idem. She brings in specie from the Gulf 1,841 000 dollars, on merchants' account, 69,998 dolls. on account ot the Mexican dividend., and 339 serous of cochineal. Complaints are very gen. rat of the delay in the trans mission of the mails from Mexico by the \Vest Indio steam packets, and the present is another instance of the Justice w ith which these complaints are ma de. The dates now received from Vera Cruz extend only to the 17th November. Daplicates ot which were received in the City five days ago in New York. This requires amendment ; and it is to be hoped that ar rangements will speedily be made by the proper au thorities which will place the West India packet service on a more efficient food• g, and be satisfactory to the public generally, who have too much cause to be diseatiefied with the present system. At Barbados business was quite etagnent. " Oar has lowlas , (.a,. the L.., 1,...,/:,.•.) a,. ~,, l• mil but, . Ass y t j . ; scarcely a vessel to tell of et stir in mercantile busi ness ; no r busy hum of men' on our wharf—only persons pacing its dull path on their way to Commer cial Hall, the place at bend to relieve the tedium of an idle day, catching at the newspaper files and periodicals, which they take up merely pour passer le temps, having probably read them all be fore, and then back again to their dull counting-house or quiet parlour." It was hoped, however, that this stagnation of the wharf business would not last 1 ing, the tme being almost at hand when the wonted bustle and activity would revive, when the shies would he arriving in quick succession with the Citrietm •it supplies, and all would be cheerfulness and an'matton. Letters from Aguathita of the 22nd of November, mention that prices in the coffee market were on the rise; 84 dole. had been off red but refused, and fir a fine parcel 84 dole. had been maid. Little business has as yet been done, however, owing to the con tinuance of wet weather, which prevented the planters from drying the bean. At 'Mayaguez there was rill mire excitement in the coffee market, and 8} dollars were readily paid for ordinary quality. Betides corsiderable orders from the Mediterranean, a great 'timber have aho been lately received from the Celled States. The prospects of the next sugar crop were still very favourable. Small parcels are expected to arrive in the market at the end of December. With respect to prices, it was gist- I rally thought that they will rule low. 1 At St Thomas, exchange on Loudon was 470 dols. to 480 dole. per pound sterling. Havana advices of the 27th November state that the decline of about I real, which took place in the price of sugar, bad given ripe to large trans action,. in that article, and the shipments from the two ports for the month ending the 24th idem amounted to 41,284 boxes. Prices were fully maintained, and quotations were, for THIS DAY. This being Christmas-day, it is observed as a clomp holiday throughout the City. BAILWAYB. This being Christmas-day the Steck Exchange is, of course, closed. MANCRIaTER, Doc 24. Itroult-limeawou.—There was a dull, quiet market, and prime showed a further decline.

SIIOCRINO MURDER BY A BOY AT BRISTOL.—A shocking case of murder occurred at Bristol on Sunday afternoon, the perpetrator of the shocking outrage being • boy of little more than 14 years of age, and nu victim 6 youth of only 19. Toe fatal occurrence took place at Bed minster, in the neighbourhood of which • painful degree of "'citron nt haa been produced by the fatal occurre n ce: The deceased, William Braund, was a respectable young man, employed as a light porter by Mr. Gillett, spirit mer chant, of Itedcliff-street ; and his assailant, Alfred Dancey, an errand-boy, in the service of Mr. Prowse, surgeon, Guinea-street ; and th e murder was committed with a pistol loaded with ball. It would appear, from the particulars which have transpired, that 00 Sunday afternoon, at about halt-past four o'clock, Dance y and Cs,lline were amusing themselves near Bedminster iron bridge, jumping over an iron post, when Braund, with two companions, named Horgan and Coggan, who Were out taking • walk, named them, and ea they did so Horgan said " 0 •er it." Hol low e d is Ducey and Collins began call ing names, and them, wing atiwiso language. t.pon 11.nsam turuusg round to them they ran away; but as they continued to hewn him, he followed them, and catching Collins by the railings of Zion chapel, he struck him twice, then came behind him and ware him a blow on the face. Horgan tnen ran towards Dancey, who immedi ately pulled a pistol from his bosom and presented it at him, saying " Come on, I'm quite ready for you. Come on, and I'll have you." Horgan then lett them and followed hie companions to the er.d of Brown's-row, Redcliff-criacent, where they hated. Dancey and Collins continued to follow and abuse them, and at e end of Brown's-row the Pater pulled out a life-preserv th er, and shook it at them in a menacing way. The deceased Braund turned towards Cdlins, and said I will tell your mother and you'll catch it for having that thing," upon which Collins again shook it at him, using some threat. Braund immediately made a rush at him, and grasping bold of the life preserver, • struggle ensued, in the course of which they both tell down in the road. While the scuffle was going on Dancey more than once said he would shoot Braund. and went towards him for that purpose. Horgan tried all he could to prevent his getting towards the deceased, bat Dancey was very determined, and having deliberately:naiad his pistol, fired at Braund. The poor fellow staggered and tell forward, and on immense quantity of blood pawed from his mouth. Some bystanders, among whom was Mr. Brown, the magistrate, woo had witnesse I the munler from his: window, came to his help, but lite was extinct. Dance, ran away and was followed by several persona, at one of whom he threw the pistol. He was, however, secured and taken to the Bedminster police station, where he was searched, and a bullet mould, several bullets and p d', fercuou ssind on caps, 31. Is. lid. m y, and a pack of playing car in his pockets. On his way to the station-house be said, "I suppose I shall get 'cragged for this ;" but afterwards ho said Sae pistol w.ut off upon the halt-cock, and denied that it was loaded with ball. He has continued to show • good deal of hardihood . not appearing to be in the slightest de gree alive to t h e painful position in which he is placed. The body of the deceased was taken to the general hospital, and on an examination it was found that the bullet had entered the chest, passing through a rib, and thence obliquely and upwards to tke back . 01 the shoulder. It passed entirely through the substance of the lungs, through the wiedeipe, and divided the lags artery in its course, and carried with it a piece of the deceased young man's coat. The dreadful occurrence has given rise to the most painful feeling, and • coroner's inquest has been summoned to investigate the circumstances connected with it. • :L..- • yr a I ~ ~ , t .,
