Good and fine samples were in fair request at full price; but other kinds met a dull in quiry. There was less activity in the barley trade; never theless malting parcels were quite as dear as in the previous weds. Other articles were a slow sale. The value of produce continues to be well supported both on the continent and in the United States. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were only moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 7,008 qrs. of wheat, 11,459 barley, 12,592 oats, 142 beans, 1,614 peas, 92:tares, 690 1in5eed,17,677 rapeseed, 277 sundry, and 185 barrels and 50 sacks of flour. Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of wheat from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very mo derato scale, and the general quality of the samples was by no means prime. Good and fine wheats were disposed of without difficulty at last Monday's currency ; but low and damp parcels :met a dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices. Millers generally purchased with extreme caution. We were again well supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat. The transactions were on a restricted scale; never theless, compared with Monday last, no change took place in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry, but not cheaper. Fine malting barley was scarce, and in request at full prices, and distilling sorts were less active at barely late rates. We had a moderate inquiry for malt at last week's quo- • 1855. 1856. 1857. 1858. 1859. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock.

The settlement of accounts on the Houghton engaged all attention until quite late in the afternoon. Although in the earlier portion of the afternoon some complaints of " tightness" were heard relative to the adjustment of ac counts, yet on the whole the settling was pronounced toler ably satisfactory. Speculation was almost entirely confined to the Liverpool Cup, for which Meg Merrilies has been made the favourite at 7 to 1, but the quotations given below were for the most part to small sums only, The Brewer, perhaps, being backed for the most money at the odds re turned. tations. The oat trade was steady ; bat, compared with last week, no change took place in prices. Both beans and peas were scarce, and in fair request at full currencies. An average business was transacted in flour, at full prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 8,537 head. In the corresponding week in 1858 we received 5,767 ; in 1857, 5,915 ; in 1856, 7,037 ; in 1855 7,885 ; in 1854, 7,721 ; in 1853,.7,012 ; and in 1852, head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LIST WEEX. From.

A full average number of beasts was received fresh up from our own grazing districts, but the general condition!of most breeds was inferior. Although the attendance ofboth town and country buyers was rather numerous, the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,560 short horns and crosses; from other parts of England 500 of various breeds ; from Scotland. 150 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 700 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep wai again on the increase. For all breeds we had a heavy demand, and the quotations gave way from 2d to 41b per Sibs. The top figure for the best Downs and half-breds was 5s 2d per Slobs. The general condition of the sheep was very middling. Notwithstanding that tho supply of calves was limited, the veal trade ruled heavy at 2d per Blbs less money. There was very little inquiry for pigs, the show of which was good, and prices were barely supported. Per 81bs. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. N. d. a. d.

UTTERING A BAD HALF-SOVEREIGN BY NOTORIOUS CHARACTERS.—John Brown and Henry Scares, two well dressed fellows, both of whom have been convicts—the one having received four years' penal servitude, the other a term of imprisonment—were charged with uttering a coun terfeit half-sovereign at the shop of Mrs. Mary Jane Wil cox, tobacconist, of 15, Mortimer-street, Cavendish-square. Mr. E. Lewis appeared for the prisoners. The prosecutrix said on Saturday night Brown entered the shop and asked for two of the best cigars, a second per son then entered, and immediately after the prisoner Scares. She gave. Brown two cigars, and he put down a half sove reign on a cigar case, but directly after said ho wanted scented cigars, and that he would wait till the next gentle man was served. She afterwards asked Brown if ho had any small change, but he made no reply. She then went into the parlour, and asked a friend to give it to her, and he did so. She then handed it to Brown, and he at once left the shop. Scares asked for half an ounce of tobacco, which she served him with. She at that moment discovered the half-sovereign was bad, but not thinking he was connected with Brown she allowed him to go. A neighbour then called in, and she having told him sho had taken a bad half-sovereign, he asked her if she would be able to iden • tify the prisoners, and sho said she should, and four hours after she did so. Mr. George Parrott, of 20, Mortimer-street, proved seeing the prisoners walking together in front of the prosecutrix's shop, and seeing them some hours after near the Caledonian road, where ho gave them into custody. Lambert, 68, proved handing Scares over to a constable, and taking Brown into custody in a coffee-shop in the Cale donian. road, and seeing him put a gilt medal strongly resembling a half-sovereign on the seat where he was sitting. Brown had just come from four years' transporta tion, and the other had been convicted. Sergeant Franklin asked for a remand, which was granted. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

The Simoom, 8, screw, Commander Cook, will embark from the Portsmouth Dockyard, on Friday next, Capt. Blakiston and 275 non-commissioned officers and men belonging to the Royal Artillery, for supplementary service in China. The detach ment will proceed from Shoeburyness, where they have been stationed, to undergo field practice with Sir W. Armstrong's rifled cannon. The screw steam frigate Mersey, 40, Captain Henry Caldwell, C. 8., was preparing to follow the flagship. Admiralty orders have unexpectedly arrived at Chatham dockyard, directing a considerable aug mentation to be made in the number of shipwrights and mechanics belonging to the various depart , ments connected with that establishment by the immediate entry of 60 additional shipwrights, 30 joiners, and 60 labourers, together with extra hands for the other departments, the details of which have not been promulgated. In order to hasten forward the necessary works connected with the construc tion of the squadron of line-of-battle ships now in progress at Chatham dockyard, orders were on Saturday issued for the mechanics employed in the smitheries to work extra hours, at increased wages, from 7 o'clock in the morning until 8 in the even ing; and the workmen attached to the millwright's department and the saw mills, together with the plumbers and braziers, to be employed from 6 o'clock in the morning until 8 in the evening. The following appointments were made on Sa turday at the Admiralty :—W. B. Trenwith, acting 3d-class assistant-engineer to the Wellington as supernumerary ; David Francis, 3d-class assistant engineer to the Snap; and Albert Jolliffe, acting 3d-class assistant•engineer to the Asia as super numerary. TILE BURNING OF A COOLIE SHIP. THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FIVE LIVES LOST. The following is the report of Capt. John Ben • tham, the commander of the coolie ship Shah Jehan, which was burnt when on a voyage from Calcutta to Mauritius, and 365 lives were lost : "I was master of the late ship Shah Jehan. She was 852 tons. 1 commanded her for five years, since she was built. I have commanded vessels for seven years. I brought coolies to the Mauritius five times, and took back return coolies three times. With coolies I have always prohibited smoking in the 'tween decks. I have no reason for supposing that the rule was broken in the present instance. There were two "lights in the 'tween decks at night in glared lanterns. The lanterns were always locked. It was the duty of the doctor and third officer to see that they were locked. The coolies' stores were stowed in the forehold. They were issued daily. No lights were ever taken down into the hold, the hatchway affording sufficient to see by. There was a standing order to that effect—it was a verbal order. There were two coolie-galleys; they were placed one on each side in the waist just before the gangway ; they must have been from 20 to 25 feet from the fore hatchway. The Shah Jehan had four boats —long-boat, which might contain from 70 to 75 people ; cutter, 25 men •, jolly-boat, 20 men ; there was no life-boat; the boats were all hoisted up outside with the exception of the launch, which ' was on board. Stock was kept in the long-boat ; a2l the boats were fitted with masts, sails , and oars , which were' kept in them. There was a fire-engine on board ; it was used every day, and it was in go od w erkine. order. The Indian regulations oblige coolie ships to carry fire-engines, but not life-boats ; there is nothing for extinguishing fire, but the engine. The cargo consisted pri nci p all y of g rain. Thre was also 100 cases of mustard-oil, which was stowed near the afterhold. The fire broke out abreast the forehatchway. In the fore hold there were cases of merchandise, bales of blankets, and grain. I am not aware if the cases contained anything of a combustible character. I am not aware if the native merchants send articles of a combustible nature from India to the Mauritius. I never heard of any such being declared. I am not aware if there be any clause in the Indian Act prohibiting such articles from being shipped on board coolie vessels. I can form no opinion as to the origin of the fire. The fire broke out about noon on the 27th of June, in ]at. 12 S., and long. 75 E. I had been in the 'tween decks at half-past 10 o'clock. The forehatch was then open for the issue of provisions. The chief officer went be low at the same time for a piece of rope. There was no light taken down then. I musthave seen it if there had been one. Some of the lascars seated forward near the forehatchway were first aware of the fire, they saw smoke coming up. I went below immediatelv,and had one of the forehatches taken off, but the dense smoke that rose obliged us to replace it immedi ately. Shortly afterwards the flames made their appearance in the opening above the 'tween deck stringer. All hands then went on deck, and every opening was closed as much as possible with wet sails and blankets, and from the time the fire was first discovered the courses were hauled up, and the vessel put before the wind ; holes were bored in the waterways, and covered with wet blankets to pre vent draft. The openings for the ventilation were covered iu the same manner, and day and night water was poured down without intermission. On the evening of the 29th got the long-boat out and veered her astern ; there was a bag of rice, two-thirds of a bag of grain, and about 50 gallons of water placed in her; water wasplaced in two of the other boats, but the leaden pipes hav ing melted, all communication with the tanks was cut off. No provisions were procurable on account of the fire and smoke. There were three rafts pre pared of the spare spars, of which we had many on board, some of the studdingsail booms were taken / down for the same purpose, the hen-coops were lashed together; in fact, everything that was buoyant was made use of, I think, that would have supported together 320 people. When it was evident that there was no chance of saving the people's lives any other way, I encouraged the coolies to get on the rafts which were towing alongside. I should think that quite 300 of them succeeded in doing so. This was on the 29th of June. When I left the ship there was nothing remaining but the poop-deck where the people could stand, the fore mast had fallen early in the morning of that day. The mainmast and mizenmast fell about half-past ten a.m. I had just left the ship with the major part of the drew. I jumped overboard, and so did they. I think that from 40 to 50 men and women remained on board. The poop-deck fell in almost immediately, and they perished. We were about 800 miles from the Mauritius on the 30th. The rafts were cast adrift oneby one as they were loaded. Two were out of sight when I abandoned the ship, and a third a great distance off. The cutter and jolly-boat were swamped by the numbers of people that rushed into them . I was in the long-boat with 67 people. She drifted away from the ship after she was cast off. I saw the ship burning till sunset. I consider that my officers and crew behaved admirably. They only left the ship when it was impossible to remain on board. The people on the rafts had no provisions . or water whatever. When I left I was obliged to jump overboard and swim to the long boat. The chief officer and those of the crew that were saved did the same, also one coolie. There were many per sons hanging by ropes alongside the vessel at that time, but they would not venture to let go; the long-boat could not get near the vessel crowded as she was with men and only two oars. The doctor and third officer were both drowned when the cutter swamped. We were five days in the boats and were picked up by the French ship Vasco de Gama, Captain Maureau, and conveyed to Bourbon. Captain Maureau, his officers and crew, treated us with the utmost kindness and attention. Three men died from exhaustion before we were picked up; the daily ration in the boat was a few ounces of raw grain and half a tumbler of water ; there was a mast-head look-out the whole time. One of the rafts was composed of topmast, topsail yard, two topgallant yards, and a number of studdingsail yards ; a second was made of a jibboom, two spare topgallant masts, studdingsail yards, driver-gaff and boom, small spars, and hencoops ; a third conshted of flying jibboom, topmast and studdingsail booms, poop, hencoops, small spars, and cover of longboat After the fire broke out, the people, both coolies and crew, were supported by eating the live stock and a quantity of onions, pumpkins, &e., which were on the poop. A number of women and children were placed in the cutter and jolly-boat before lowering them. I and my officers assisted the people to get on the rafts—there were many of the women on them. The cargo, fore and aft the vessel, was covered with mats and powdered charcoal placed above them to the depth of two or three inches. The crew behaved admirably throughout ; they all did their best, so did all the officers. The coolies commenced plundering; the day the ship took fire my cabin was entered and all my clothes and pri vate trade taken ; they dressed themselves with my. shirts, &c., and their wives with some things be longing to Mrs. Bentham. JESSIE THE FLOWER 0' DUNBLANE. The following letter, which it will be seen is the production of a correspondent of Tannehill, and addressed to Mr. J. Porteous, of the Glasgow Post office, throws some light upon the early history of a song which has long established itself in all Scot tish homes and hearts. The particulars regarding some of Tannahill's other songs will also prove in teresting to the lovers of Scottish melodies : Friend Porteous,—Respecting " Jessie the flower o' Dunblane," in my correspondence with Robert Tannehill, I do not recollect of her being mentioned. I have heard it said that an interesting young lady at or belonging to that place (Dunblane) had caught his fancy, and inspired to set a spark to the muse. Be it as it may, I can, however, give you a little information concerning Jessie's coining out (as Yankees say), or being brought out, or introduced to the admiring public. About the time that R A, Smith composed the music for Jessie, there was a theatrical party performing in Paisley, and in that company there was a come dian cognomenised Jack Shaw. Jack had also a musical propensity, with a good commanding voice, and qualified for reading music by the voice. He sang on the stage several of our old Scotch songs quite in their true character, and having heard of the new song he found means (Jack was enterprising) to be introduced to Mr. Smith, and solicited a copy that he might refresh his old songs by something new. Smith very obligingly gave him the song, with an accompaniment for two violins and bass. Jack of course set it a •going in Paisley; but merrily as things might be going on, Jack left them, came to Glasgow, and was a short time with the circus company. In the meantime the cel e b r ated Braham had made his first appearance in the 'Theatre Royal, Queen street. Jack again found his way to an engage ment in the Glasgow Company, taking his manu script with him of course. Ho was not long there till he made bold with Braham for an engagement on the boards in London. Braham considering on it, thought he might be a good set off in different ways, as being a good native Scotch comedian (a rarish article), and to take part in duets and glees he might be useful. Mr. Shaw being now installed on the London boards lie hoisted up Jessie, and when the Lununers had taken a good view, he thought she might travel a little farther ; so he (enterprisingly) applied to a music publisher with the copyright in the author's own handwriting, to have her shown off on a broad sheet, which was accordingly done. But it so happened that, previous to this, Mr. Steven in Glasgow had his sheet in motion, with an accompaniment for the pianoforte by Mr. Smith, and the full authority of Mr. Steven's holding the copyright as established at Stationers' Hall. Mr. Shaw supporting the London publisher by boasting of the copy being in the handwriting of the author, threatened a tug at law, which Mr. Smith decided by declaring that although he obligingly gave a copy to Mr. Shaw for his individual singing, he gave no authority for him otherwise to publish it. The London publisher now looking at pro and con, and discomfit, gave up to Mr. Steven the plates, &c., rather than go to law war with the Glasgowites. Jessie was, however, by this time doing for herself. " The flower o'Dun blane" consequently got popular, and became a fa vourite principally by this introduction to the public. Were the other songs of Smith's composition to Tannahill's verses sufficiently heard in public as semblies—such as concerts, theatres, &c.—they would become favourites also. His music is of a smooth flowing style, within moderate compass of voice, and suitably combined with the sentiment of the poetry. I shall finish by pointing out a few of his songs, viz.: The old seaman, " 'Mongst life's many cares," &c.; the Harper of Mull, " When Rosie was faithfu," &c. ; the Lass of Arrenteenie, " Far lone amang yon Highland hills," &c.—music by Ross of Aberdeen ; "Langsyne, beside the wood land burn;" the Maniac,"Hark, 'tis the poor maniac's song." This, though' last, not least, was the first attempt at vocal composition by R. A. Smith, fol lowed, about the same time, by his music to Burns, Jun.'s, "Cahn dewy morning." 'rho music for the Afaniac is quite characteristic of the song; and to show Smith's enthusiasm he illustrated the senti ment in China ink. The stormy sea, the rugged perpendidular rock, and the wild maniac on the brink of the precipice beating the storm were so well delineated as to appear almost actual life. Had Smith exercised his talent in painting as much as he did in music he would have attained eminence. The Maniac, I believe, was never (the music) printed. The others abo ve were published by the late Mr. Steven, then the late Mr. Broun, followed by Mitchison •, but I am afraid the music copies will not be easily got now. The only gentlemen I think likely to give informa tion respecting the plates, or finding copies, are Mr. Lithgow or Mr. Barr, both professors of music in Glasgow, as I understand they were concerned iu winding up the affairs of Mr. Mitchison, who pro bably possessed the plates.—l remain, dear sir, your old friend, JAS. BARR. Sept., 1859. THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN DURI.IIOI.-Mr. F avell, the coroner for North Durham, held a lengthened inquiry at Washington, on Thursday, into the circum stance 6 of the deaths of the four men, .John Richardson Cuthbert Mould, William Mould, and William Eltringham: killed by the explosion that occurred in the Maudlin seam of Wallington Old Pit, on Saturday, as already reported In The Saar. Lengthened evidence of the circumstances of the explosion was taken by the coroner. The most material was that of the viewer, Mr. James Crowdice, who produced a plan of the workings, which he explained, stating that 14,000 feet of the air which entered the pit was forced into the place where the men were working. The witness then gave a minute account of the explosion, and, in answer to the coroner, said it was his opinion that the gas came from the sixth board at the fall, and either fired on the candle of the boy Eltringham,. or was carried down to where the men were working. This view of the cause of the explosion was confirmed by other viewers who inspected the colliery after the explosion, and by two miners who had gone into the pit to examine the workings, in company with the Government inspector. Mr. Dunn, the Government inspector, said that his opinion was that there had been a fall in the sixth board, from which there had been a con ike n of n e stant supply of gas; that the gas b ad accumulated in the bthoeardfurnouateee hftad the range ge o t t o theinc increase the furnace bad become mor e active th e gas had gradually been drawn into the air-conrso, coming down upon the men's candles and fi rin g .
