To . . conciliat e the ill-humour of the people of Madrid there , . are to he brilliant eorridus de Turas. Moutes, Sevilla, El Ariclanero, the most celebrated artists, are to display tleir courage and address. Fifty bulls are to be given lip to sl aug ht er , f or ty h o rses areto be emb ow elled, seven or eight picadores are to be wounded, arid some matadores will probably be killed on the arena, as hap pened once at Cape llillo, and then the fete will be complete. We have before us a curious ac . eOunt of the number of deaths which have occurred in the Circus at Madrid during the fourteen years from 1832 to . • 1845 inclusively. It comprises 2,257 bulls and 2,934 , - horses, sacrificed to the delight of the amateurs of the Tauromachial. In fact, in the item of bulls, 1840, was the least satisfactory year, as only 101 perished. This was scarcely worth the trouble. The palm of numbers may be claimed by 1833, in which year 233 bulls died in all the pride and happiness of having thus afforded pleasure to the inhabitants of the capital of Spain. In 1841 there were 161 horses killed, and this was con sidered a very bad year ; but 1840 was a truly brilliant one; 343 were laid d ea d on t h e fi e ld ; b eing six or seven each Corida, supposing that these innocent games Were renewed once a week. Last year (1845) the de struction was 173 bulls and 335 horses." , AN O RIGINAL L ETTER OF GRACE DARLING'S.— We (Sherbor ne J ourna l) have been favoured with the °,iginal of the following letter, written by the lamented Grace Darling to Mr. S.

The letter is written in a n eat and una ff ecte d handwriting, and emits evidently th at meek Ch r i st i an spirit for which the memory of Grace Darling is revered as much as for her heroism and self-devotion :—" Dear Sir,—l recd. yours Dated 9 th., Inst., for which I b egg to return my sincere thanks for the good advice Contained in the same.

THE GREAT BRITAIN. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.—We have no further intel ligence of moment to-day with regard to the Great Britain. We subjoin the closing letter from a correspon dent : . Ary commDuUnNicDatTtioUnAtlo-BdaAyYm, uTsutEnsencelsrsaAriFjEbneNmooeaNg.re from the absence of any occurrence of note since the dispatch of my last letter. One melancholy fact, how ever, it is my duty to state. 'there is now no hope left that the Great Britain can be rescued, at least for the present. To-day the spring tides reached their climax, but again the violence of the seaway in the bay pre vented the approach of assistance. Last night, at high water, it blew freshly from the cast ; but this morning the ship did not appear to have materially altered her position, though it is probable she had forged ahead in some degree. When the hour of high water arrived, the ship appeared to float to some ex tent. The steam-tugs, however, which at daylight had returned to the offing, could not near the vessel, and it was evident to all practical men that there was little or no chance of her Icing got off unle,s some extraordi nary power of fictath.n were brought into requisition. The ship's fore and aft rails were spreaa on her foremast during tite wonting, apparently with the view of keep ing the head from forging upon the ledge of rode which prOcti from the sank at the disteoce of some 70 yards from the stern. 1 ! e ft th e s p o t a t th e e bb of the tide. The steam-tugs left in the course of the day. The surf in the offing on their appearance this morning w.ts running very high, and (410 of them drew off towards Annaba)? Point, about S.W. from the ship, and we have since seen no more of her. The Dread nought, however, anchored a long way outside, and, though she got her steam well up, she did not venture to come in shore, although signals were several times hoisted on the Great Britain's mizen to bring to if possible. The surf, caused by the gale and the inset of the tide upon the rocky and dangerous coast, rendered the attempt unadvisable, and Captain Hosken was compelled early in the afternoon to signalise her departure. It had been intended to dispatch the crew and stores of the ship in her to Liverpool. The arduous duties of these two fine steamers have been well per formed, and their commanders have throughout acted with the greatest skill and energy. . LIVERPOOL, FRlDAY.—Disas . Gous accounts have been again received from Dundrum Bay; and these accounts, together with the fact made known by Captain Claxton, that the rivets in the ship's bottom started on Monday last, have tended to confirm the fears which, during the last few days, have gained ground in the public mind, that the ill-fated vessel' will never be rescued from her present position. there can be little question that the injuries announced in the managing director's letter have been materially increased by the gale and the heavy seas which had set in on Monday last upon the shores of Dundrum Bay. We subjoin a letter from a correspondent:— DUNDIUJM BAY, WEDNESDAY NOON, OCT. 7. My report to-day will be comparatively uninteresting. The springs have now passed, and the opportunity of getting the Great Britain off has been lost. Last night's tide was accompanied with a heavy gale, and the Great Britain this morning appears to have forged some fifteen yards further up the beach, with her head pointing N.N.W. She is not now afloat, but high tide will again make in about half an hour, and she may possibly then move. It cannot, however, be for the better. The wind is now blowing almost a gale from the south; the sea setting right into the bay lashes violently under the ship's stern, and the salt spray is bursting in clouds over half the length of her decks. The scene is grand and impressive in the extreme. The bight of the bay on the north and west from the coast-guard station house, where I now write, presents, from the rolling of a terrific and rapid succession of waves, a most sublime appearance, as, indeed, does the whole of this rocky and stony coast, extending from St. John's Point lighthouse to Annalong Point to the south, where the lofty Mourne Mountains terminate in the sea. The distance between these two points, forming the outer boundaries of the bay, is perhaps twenty miles. The rudder of the ship has disappeared for some days, and the screw-propeller appears to be considerably in jured. There can be no question that the vessel is thumping on the shore, and she has made from time to time during the last few days an immense quantity of water. The country people are still engaged in removing the discharged coals from the beach, but some still, I learn, remain on board. ONE O'CLOCK, P.M. The storm keeps increasing as the tide becomes nearly full, and it is now accompanied by a heavy beating rain and spendrift, which dashes against the look-out - win dows of the station-house. The surf continues to wash over the ship more and more violently, and she presents a truly saamde is specsttarcaed and h spectacle. The gr e e r a b t u p t r t o u b m ab in il j t u ty re i d s ; thatbut theher whole real facts cannot be ascertained until low water. She has still several chain cables and anchors out astern, but they appear to be slack; and as the ship has all the morning had her forward gaffsail or spanker set, I think it likely that all hopes of getting her off are abandoned, and that the object now is to forge her on as far as pos sible upon the beach, in order that her position may be rendered secure, or that if she be broken up the mate. rials may be better secured. The ship rolls slightly, and has apparently altered her position. Her bow lies to the north. Her larboard quarter is most exposed to the sc a. Foun O'CLOCK, p.m. The tide has fallen but little, if anything, from the ship. She has shifted her stern to about N.W. I fear she must have sustained deplorable damage; and should the gale continue, I cannot but apprehend that the tide will be forced beyond its proper bounds; and that the sea way may prove still more disastrous to the noble but ill fated vessel. We annex the following from the Noz thern Whig : WEDNESDAY MORNING, NINE O'CLOCK, A.M. Last night's weather has given a more severe trial to the unfortunate Great Britain than she has had to en counter since she came ashore here. The wind is now about due south, blowing stiffly, and the seaway in the bay is absolutely terrific. There is not, except the Great Britain herself, a single craft of any dimensions within view, nor is there the slightest chance that any can, during this, the last of the high tides, approach her. The war of the waves dashing themselves into minute particles of foam upon the rocks at the edge of the coast, borders on the sublime, and the spray which beats against the larboard side of the Great Britain, which lies to seaward, falls in a shower into the tide on the starboard side ; the waves, at intervals, rising over her stern, and washing her so far fore as her main- mast. _ _ . The country people are still engaged carting off the coals, a considerable heap of which lie on the beach yet. That she can never leave the spot she now occupies amounts to all but an absolute certainty. The captain is still in charge of her, and continues on board. One of the crew just now informed me that a number of the hands leave her to-day ; but Ido not pledge myself to the accuracy of the statement. I have heard rumours also respecting handing her over to the insurance com pany's agents, but as I had no opportunity of informing myself in authentic sources, I do not feel myself at liberty to state them. Two o'CLocK, lengthbetter than of f tthe nhour onGreat h ft it e nh d ge north-west, or in the Britain's t e a h b i e n b ,ts;i tide e o u h w t a.ist been not n r s n t o e w r r n e s c i o s e m d s e i e i d t i direction of the coast-guard station-house, from the window of which we have been taking observations for the" last two hours, as the rain is falling heavily. The water does not, from this, appear to have made any im pression on her works ; but, as I mentioned before, there is no point on shore whence one can see her larboard quarter, the part exposed, in the greatest degree, to the violence of the waves. A portion of the gangway, used for the purpose of getting on board at ebb tide, was loosened, and drifted on shore last night. This, of course, is not a fact of any great importance, inasmuch as it may not have been secured very strongly to its berth. She cannot, however, were she every inch of steel, stand much longer, in such a sea. The captain keeps up the foregaffsail still ; but it can not well be imagined that she can drift much nearer the beach than she is at present. It is blowing nearly a gale now, and the rain is falling in torrents. The only cir cumstance which could make any of the succeeding tides at all high enough for the purpose of floating her off, namely, a stiff breeze to the land, would render it a task of impossibility for any craft to come near her ; so that, viewed as it may be, there is not the slightest chance left for it. FOUR O'CLOCK, P.M. The tide has now receded about half-way, and leaves the Great Britain much the worse for the beating of the heavy sea to which she has been exposed. She is evi dently in a very bad and leaky condition ; some of the sailors stated to me to-day that water was nearly as high within her as it rose on her outside. One of the sails on her foremast has been set during the day, at least since ten o'clock ; and the effect of this has been to put her as far as she can be expected to come upon the shore. The wind has settled considerably ; but the idea of endea vouring to get her off seems to have been entirely given up. The only course now left is to get what she con tains as expeditiously ashore as possible. The following is an extract from a private letter with which we have been favoured by a gentleman residing in town. The letter was written at Dundrum, on Monday; and we may mention, that its author is an experienced seaman :—" The gale of the last two days has decided her fate ; all sail is now set to harden her higher up on the beach. She sprung a leak last night, and makes now two feet water per hour. I believe they intend to let her remain here until next summer." THE MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 2. The Madrid, Captain Bingham, arrived here at four P and landed the Peninsular and other mails. Her dates are—Gibraltar, Sept. 28, Cadiz, 29, Lisbon, Oct. 2. She has 24 passengers, and good cargo. The Madrid has experienced very bad weather, both out and home. The Royal Tar, Captain llamilton, with Peninsular and other mails, and 30 passengers, left the dock at three P.M on Wednesday, but, from the severity of the gale, she was compelled to anchor for the night in Yarmouth roads, in the course of which she broke from her moor ings, losing two anchors and cables. The Royal Tar returned to this port, and procured new anchors, &c., and proceeded at noon en route for Gibraltar. The storm of wind and rain with which this port has been visited without intermission since Friday last has been most tremendous, and at present does not seem likely to abate. The Lady de Saumarez, Guernsey mail-packet, left the pier on Tuesday evening, with the mails and 53 passengers, but was obliged, in consequence of the weather, to come-to off Calshot Castle. She returned to Southampton on Wednesday night, and left again at seven P.M. yesterday. The Achilles, Captain Wilson, is due to-morrow from Alexandria, with East India and' China mails. It can hardly be expected she can be here to time. The Transit steam-vessel, belonging to the New South-Western Company, is daily expected from Vigo, with a cargo of cattle. SAILTNGS. OCT. 8.

The Fob scription is not to exceed 101. from any one, nor less than 5". Thera are 150 members, and between 500 and 00 honorary members. It is expected that all the former, and a great number of the latter will subscribe ; that 2001. or 300/. will be voted from the club funds ; and, as it is proposed that the monument shall be a sea-mark to mariners, the Trinity, Admiralty, and other Government boards, will probably subscribe, there will be very little difficulty in obtaining 1,000!. to 1,500/. ; and if there is one man more than another that deserves to have his name and virtues handed down to posterity, it is the late Charles Anderson Pelham, Earl of Yarborough. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The unfavourable state of the weather prevented her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and the Royal Family, leaving the Castle this morning. Her Majesty and Prince Albert rode on horseback this afternoon in the ridincr'•E , chool. The Equerries in Wait ing on her Maje s ty and his Royal Highness were in at tendance.

The work will be commenced as soon as Mr. Brunel and Mr. Stephenson have agreed upon the manner in which the alteration shall be mace. The former, we believe, is not satisfied with the addition of a single new rail to those already in use; but wishes, for the sake of security, to have the whole re-laid, and the permanent way repaired where necessary. We under stand the only cause of delay is Mr. Stephenson's in ability to give the requisite attendance for adjusting this matter—a hindrance which we hope will soon be re moved.—Cheltenham Chronicle. LARGE ARRIVAL OF AMERICAN FLOUR.—The New York packet-ship, Northumberland, R. H. Gris wold, commander, arrived on Thursday in the London Dock with 5.000 barrels of flour, each weighing one hundred weight and three quarters, a large quantity of cheese, and 3,000 kegs of turpentine. THE SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOClETY.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the quarterly court of the Seamen's Hos pital Society for sick and diseased seamen on board the Dreadnought, was held at the office, No. 74, King William -street, at which were present the Earl of Wal &grave, Mr. J. Labouchere, Mr. A. Young, &c. Mr. Sanders read the report, which showed the receipts to amount to 2,180/. 10s. 4d., including 6301. Is. 2d. balance, 5111. 15s. donations, 114/. 6s. 6d. annual subscriptions, 5851. dividend, 1201. 16s. from the Merchant Fund, &c. ; and that after paying the expenses, there was in hand 4471. 14s. 11d. The total sick had been 750, the out patients being 474. There were now 149 sick. The report was unanimously received and adopted. Among the life governors is the Emperor of China.

WINDMILLS IN HOLLAND.—There are 13,000 engines of this description in Holland, averaging a force of 90,000 horses power, of which 60,000 are required to keep the country above water.— he Builder. THE NEW ROYAL MARINE BARRACKS AT WOOL wicn.—This splendid range of buildings, constructed on the site of the old Marine Barracks for the accom modation of 1,000, with excellent officers' and staff non commissioned officers' quarters, and offices for the re cords and transactions of the division, is now nearly completed, and partly occupied by the shoemakers and tailors of the corps. The buildings are constructed in the strongest manner and o f th e b est qua li ty o f mate rials, and perfectly fire-proof. The partly underground in front, and level ground in rear, or kitchen story, con tains large fire-places, with ranges, and every conve nience for cooking. The floors of the kitchens are laid with large freestone slabs, 12 feet by 6 feet, and the re maining portion with asphalte or a composition of a similar description. The water cisterns in the kitchens are formed of an excellent quality of slate, admirably joined together. The shelves are of cast metal, and the supports of the brick arches of the roof of the kitchens of the same material. The stairs are of wood, but covered entirely with sheet lead. The first and second stories in front, or sleeping rooms, are spacious and without one particle of wood in any of them, the roofs being formed of bricks supported on cast-iron beams, and the floor formed entirely of the asphalte composition. The mode in which they are warmed in winter, and ventilated or supplied with cold in sum mer, is by means of a revolving fan eight feet in dia meter, which will be wound up daily, and operate by weights, in the same manner as a church clock. The landing places are formed of the best Rockhill paving slabs, and the outer stairs consist of 10 steps of granite with granite balustrades, connected with light but sub stantial railings. On the south-west front of the prin cipal range of buildings on the first and second stories are numerous arches w i t h iron railings about three feet six inches high, and betwixt the arches and front of the rooms a spacious pathway cepable of allowing six men to walk abreast, and extending the whole length of the building, with the exception of the two wings. The detached buildings are also in a forward state, and when the whole of this extensive barrack i s completed it will be of a very superior description to the quarters for merly occupied by this corps. The Ilebe receiving ship, at the west end of Woolwich dockyard, is now nearly ready for the reception of 300 of the single men, and officers having the charge of them. A space extending the whole length of the vessel has been inclosed to avoid any connection with the dockyard, and a wick e t gate opened leading into the road to Charlton pier. Every rr ford she t heh aaccommodationbeenthoroughly o arrangement L g e e n m o e n n t board has the b e been made an cleaned and painted, and fittedwithc wookhinogwiali beppa trastua! for the comf o rt of the Royal Marines e ' tioned in her. THE POTATO DISEASE.—We are glad to hear that many persons at Ilucknall Torkard and the neighbour hood, who are digging the* potatoes, find them much better than they anticipated, both in quality and quan tity.—Nottingham Journal. By the will of the late Richard Simmons, M.D., of 3, Cumberland-place, Regent's Park, the National Gallery becomes possessed of pictures to the value of nearly 4,000 guineas (all originals); amongst them the " Idle Servant," " Blind Fiddlers," " Judgment of Pa ris," &c. This lamented gentleman's father was physi cian to George 111. ; and that Monarch left the late Mr. Simmons a pension of 5001. a year (which reverts to the Crown) and his gold watch. He is supposed to have died worth 80,0001., the principal part of which goes to his widow. The King of Prussia has conferred upon Miss lierschell the large gold medal of merit, as a reward for her scientific work. 1846.

Last night, shortly after nine o'clock, a fire of a most distressing character broke out upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. John Sharp, a printer and bookseller, carrying on business at 30, King-street, St. George's, Southwark. It appears that Mr. Sharp has lately been engaged in manufacturing fireworks, and some of the combustible matter must have exploded, occasioning a terrible dis aster. The alarm was given by the front of the shop being blown into the street with fearful violence, and at the same time the interior was seen enveloped in flames. Water was speedily procured, and thrown on the fire. Mr. Sharp, who had left the place barely five minutes, returned home, when his attention was attracted by hear ing violent screams proceeding from a back parlour. He forced his way through the dense smoke, and found two of his children almost suffocated. After considerable trouble he succeded in getting them out, but not before one was terribly injured. It was then believed that no person had perished, and the engines of the Brigade and the West of England Company coming up, the fire was got under. As soon as the shop could be entered, an examination was made, and the body of a female was found beneath the counter, life being quite extinct, which proved to be the eldest daughter of the proprietor, who had remained in the shop during her father's absence, and unfortunately perishedby the explosion. Mr. Sharp is wholly uninsured. FIRE IN THE BOROUGH. Last night, shortly before eleven o'clock, a d estruct i ve fire broke out upon the extensive premi ses o f M r. T . Cowper, me rcer and haberdasher, 144, Hi g h- street, Borough. Flames were first perceived in the l ower part of the premises, which are of considerable extent. In a very short time after the discovery of the outbreak the fire assumed an aspect of a most alar m i ng character, the entire premises exhibiting one body of fire. Information was received at the several stations, and in a very s h or t time an engine of the London Fire Establi s h ment, an d theWatling-street engine with Mr .Braidwood, were upon the spot, closely followed by others. The water from the Southwark mains was fortunately plentiful, and in a brief space of time several engines were got to work. By dint of perseverance and unflinching determination, and in the midst of great danger, the firemen continued their efforts until the fire began to yield. Notwithstand ing their efforts, the house was gutted, an d the whole of the valuable stock and furniture complet e ly d estroye d. How the parties on the premises escaped, or whether the adjoing buildings were injured, could not in the excite ment be gleaned, nor could any information be obtained as to whether the parties are insured. DEPRESSED STATE OF THE FRINTING BUSINESS.— The scarcity of employment which has prevailed for a considerable portion of the present year amongst the printers of the metropolis has scarcely ever b een equalled. During the last six months the compositors of London have disbursed towards the relief of their brethren out of work a sum exceeding 1,200/. Each person has received 6s. a week, the number of recipients ranging from 160 to 230. At this season of the year, when the trade is generally good, the number out of employ amounts to 210. A large prop or ti on o f t hi s use ful body of men have families dependent on their labour. The privations they must have undergone, and are still enduring, need no co mment.

SLIGAR.—Today there was a good business transacted in West India Sugar of all kinds for the scale and pan, in con sequence of merchants being sellers at previous moderate rates. The purchases amounted to GOO hhds, &c., including at auction 45 hhds 26 trcs of James, which went at 50s for good yellow, 48s to 48s 6d for middling, and 468 to 46s Gd for low yellow. R;LFINED.—The home trade have been induced to purchase Refined goods with more freedom this week, in consequence of rather lower rates having been taken; the supply of all qualities is, however, larger than it was, as the refiners are working freely, and likely so to keep, as they are ob taining satisfactory profits, and are getting 18s for working. Pieces have slightly declined in value, there being an in creased quantity on offer, but a good demand has been ex perienced. Bastards have met with little attention, and the supply being large there are ready sellers. For Treacle of every sort prices are rising, the demand being extensive and the supply small. Crushed Sugar for exportation has been purchased with caution, although there are sellers of first quality at 33s per cwt ; the refiners continue freely at work. Treacle is still wanted, and prices are firm. Dutch Crushed Sugar is.heavy of disposal. For Loaves manufactured here the export demand has been good. MA.uremus.—This afternoon at public sale 1,484 bags and 16 hhds were offered, and sold at the former worth, good yellow at 47s Gd to 50s, middling 45s to 475, low 43s to 445, fine brown 42s 6d, washed 42s to 475, and syruppy 42s per cwt. _ _ EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the public sales of Bengal Sugar consisted of 4,145 bags, nearly the whole sold, and at full rates. MOLASSILL—West India is wanted, and having but a mo derate supply prices are looking up. The private sales this week are 400 puns, Dominica at 225, and St. Vincents 225. Bally Khal Treacle has been in good request, and prices are firm at 225; the supply has again become small. FoREIGN.—There has been a larger supply of all descrip tions of Foreign Sugar at market this week.. For brown and the lower kinds of yellow, of which there is a heavy stock here, prices are generally lowering, but for white and the better kinds of yellow they rule firm, the home trade being inclined to get stocked with such. Porto Rico has been in excellent demand and brought advanced rates, more particularly the better sorts. At auc tion 198 hhds and 100 barrels were all sold. Manilla has met with little attention by private contract, and at auction 9,530 bags were mostly taken in at the former value. White China is wanted at previous rates, but little desire has been shown to buy the brown and yellow kinds, although they can be had upon easier terms. Java has been sold to a fair extent at the former currency, the better sorts being the most preferred. White Havannah is attracting less atten tion, but stiff rates have been obtained for the few parcels sold privately. Yellow in good request, and prices fully equal to those previously current, and several parcels have been little sold by private treaty. Brown, btoioed h a o t we atten tion, and can be owithor exportation Foreign has been sparingly dealt in by private contracts, er moderate h l .l aq e e t s. al though there are sellers at moderate rates, and several parcels are pressing for sale. COFFEE.—This afternoon 677 bags Plantation Ceylon were offered at auction, and partly sold at 52s for fine ordinary grey, and at 10s to 33s for triage, being about the former value, fine fine ordinary was taken in at 545. 10 bales Mocha sold at 40s for triage. 55 casks of Jamaica went at C9s 6d to 70s Cd for middling, at 33s Gd to 48s Gd for other sorts, and at 26s to 30s for triage, being the former value. 70 bags 71 barrels La Guayi a fetched 50s to 51s 6d for fine fine ordinary, and 41s 6d for good ordinary, and 80 bags Costa Rica 35s 6d for good ordinary. Cocon.—West India has been purchased with more free dom, but no improvement in prices has taken place. At public sale 162 bags of Trinidad were sold. For Foreign previous rates are asked, but few buyers are to be met with. TEA.—None has been offered at public sale since our last, still Congou has been dealt in sparingly, notwithstanding the low rates that prevail ; the trade only purchase sufficient for their present wants, and there is only a fair supply at market of all descriptions. In Pouchong a good business has been done, and the supply being small, prices rule firm. Of 5 0 = 1 491 1 g solue pantie have been disposed of, but at sly :LT •:•„. _ • rather lower rates. For Twankay the marint . iitts. du 7:' appearance, and prices are lower. Scented Caper has betel purchased with more freedom. For Scented Orange;Pelthe there are not many buyers. Hyson is little wsmtpcl - ; - prices are drooping. Cit I vy erial and Gunpowder several 'S AA parcels have been sold, owil:,; to merchants further reducing their prices. Of Green Tea there is a large quantity press ing for sale, and of Black there is a fair quantity at market. RICE.—To-day Bengal Rice was in dull demand, and 788 bags 84 pkts at auction were taken in at reduced rates, viz., good white at 19s, and ordinary 18s, but the damaged sold at 12s 6d to 17s 6d per cwt. FRUIT.—For new Valentias there has been a good inquiry —no arrivals this week up to this day, and the whole of the present stock being in speculators' hands who appear to he selling some at 465; several parcels are daily expected. For New Currants there continues a large demand. New Mus catels rating so low in price with the coalmen description attracts much attention. SPICES —Tc-dav at public sale 199 brls of Jamaica Ginger were sold at 1/ 19s to 9110 s; 6 cases of mouldy Singapore Nuttnegs 3s ; 80 bags of Pimento 34d to aid for damaged. Hops.—The demand has been less active, and having a large quantity at market, there are sellers rather under pre vious rates, New /did Kent pockets being obtainable at 61 1 to CI 15s, Weald of Kent 41 12s to 5/ss, Sussex pockets 412 s to 4/ 14s per cwt. The Duty for the Kingdom is backed at 200,0001 to 220,00/. At the Worcest.,r market a good busi ness has been done in Hops, but in some cases prices have sliittiy given way. Spirtti;.—To• day then: was a large busin.sq transacted in Jamaica Rum at from 3s 4d to 4s 6d. Calcutta was purchased v lilt freedom, and brought higher rates, 26 to 2s Id being paid for 200 casks proof strength. Of Leeward Island some parcels were sold at 2s 5d proof. winco.—To-day during the progress of the sale 105 chests were withdrawn, 727 chests have passed the sale. The bulk of this quanti.y was of ordinary quality, only fit for home consumption, and sold with rather more spirit than on the preceding days, at prices ranging from the last sale's prices to 3d advance. Proprietors have bought in '298 chests. The total quantity that has now passed the sale amounts to 7,065 chests, of which 3,436 were withdrawn, and 1,260 bought in, making the quantity actually sold 2,369 chests. The total quantity withdrawn now amounts to 4,065 chests. SALTPETRE.—To. day Ro ug h was mo r e sought after, but business of moment was prevented privately by stiffer rates being asked. For English Refined the demand has been active, and prices are firm. Nitrate of Soda is little wanted, and can be obtained at 16s to 16s 3d per cwt. WOOL—The arrivals continue to be large, the chief part Spanish, Cape, and Colonial. Prices rule firm for all descrip tions, but there has not been much business transacted since the termination of the public sales. Oils.—There was a lively demand for Seal Oil, and prices have risen 20s to 40s, the Lome trade are the principal operators; merchants are sanguine in their expectations as to the future position of the article; although there is a fair stock here, pale has been selling at 311 to 32/, straw 291 to 301, yellow 27/10s to 281 10s, and brown at 261 to 27/ per tun. In Cod a good business has been transacted, in conse quence of rather lower rates being taken. For Seathern the market has a firm appearance, all sorts have been sought after, and full rates are offered, but there is only a moderate quantity on offer. Sperm does not improve in value; the demand has been good, but the market is still well supplied. There are further arrivals of Fish Oils. Linseed has met with less attention, and prices have assumed a downward tendency: the market being well supplied, only a limited business has been transacted on the spot at 24s 6d to 24s 9d, and for forward delivery few contracts have been entered into, although there are sellers at 25s to 25s 3d per cwt. Rape Oil has been in good demand, and quo tations are firm at 34s for pale, and at 33s for brown. Although the stock of Palm Oil has been further increased, vet the demand has been brisk, and advanced rates are paid. - For Cocoa Nut the inquiries have been numerous, but not much is to be had, and prices are rising. Olive is wanted, but no further advance in the value LAS taken place ; the parcels sold were, however, at steady rates. American Lard Oil has been selling at 371 to 404 and the supply is small. TALLOW.—The arrivals continue to be upon a small scale, and are less than they were last season by 7,422 casks, and the stock is smaller by 4,474 casks; the deliveries, however, exhibit a falling off of 8,297 casks, but which may be ascribed to the immense quantity of home made Tallow used this sea son. Russian on the spot has been in active demand, and prices are still rising. A good deal has been done for forward delivery. Of home made the market been nearly cleared at 43s 6d to 44s per cwt nett cash, and the consumption of this sort is still the largest, it being the cheapest. Other kinds of Tallow have been much in request, and prices are advancing. STIRLING AND DUNFERMLINE BURGHS.—DEATH OF MR. GILLON. We regret to have to record the death of W. D. Gillon, Esq., of Wallhouse. Tbis melancholy and un expected event occurred on Wednesday morning; and the tidings have thrown a deep gloom over the extensive district in which the deceased's name was so prominently before the public as a candidate for the honour of serving them in Parliament. The lamented gentleman's poli tical opponents unite with his supporters in deploring a calamity which thus deprives society of an useful member and inflicts an irreparable loss on an amiable and highly esteemed family. As a public man, Mr. Gillon had long been admired for the liberality of his views and the manly independence of his character, whilst his private life, his extensive hospitalities, and generous social quali ties, justly endeared him to a large circle of neighbours and friends. It supposed that this painful event will prevent fur ther serious opposition to the election of Mr. J. B. Smith as representative of the Stirling Burghs. The personal esteem in which Mr. Gillon was held by a large circle of local connexions is believed to have been the only ob stacle to perfect unanimity among the Liberal electors of all classes in behalf of Mr. Smith, whose superior qualifications and p re-eminent claims to a seat in Parlia ment were frankly acknowledged by Mr. Gillon himself, and the great bcdy of his supporters. Opposition, in deed, in any other instance, we believe would be hope less. The Edinburgh Whig clique cannot possibly select another candidate whom the supporters of Mr. Gillon would prefer to the distinguished ex-Chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League, aed ex-President of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce ; nor do we think they will have the folly to betray their own weak ness by making such an attempt. The Whig ekctors of the Stirling and Dunfermline Burghs are numerous and powerful, but they are likewise staunch free-traders, and incapable, we trust, of succumbing to metropolitan dictation ; and we do not believe one of them was induced to withhold his support from Mr. Smith by any other consideration than that of personal attachment to Mr. Gillon. Indeed, it is scarcely possible that any of them could oppose Mr. Smith from other motives, inasmuch as the perfect unanimity of political sentiments displayed in the respective addresses of that gentleman and Mr. Gillon showed the two candidates to be without difference of political opinion. That Mr. Allison cannot succeed to the support afforded Mr. Gillon is clearly manifest. The gentlemen who were prepared to repose confidence in the latter, on account of his long experience and tried services, can scarcely be expected to repose similar confidence in a young, un tried, inexperienced man ; more especially when another long-tried candidate offers himself to their preference. Under these circumstances it may confidently be hoped that the harmony which it is so essential should exist among Liberals of all classes will no longer be disturbed in these burghs on occasion of Lord Dalmeny's retire ment; but, on the contrary, that the unanimity which pervades all parties in regretting Mr. Gillon's untimely death will be equally extended to the important event affected thereby. The political friends of Mr. Gillon cannot, on the occasion more suitably evince their re spect for his memory than by testifying that the " high respect" which he so recently proclaimed towards Mr. Smith operates as paramount inducement to them to transfer to Mr. Smith the political confidence and sup port they were prepared to have rendered to Mr. Gillon. —Edinburgh Chronicle of this day. RESCUE rxoir DROWNING.—On Thursday, the boatmen of the Royal Humane Society effected, at the Serpentine, the rescue of a female who had precipitated herself over the bridge in Kensington-gardens, and who did not once rise to the surface. It was at least four minutes before she was recovered, Mr. Charlier, the secretary, happening to 'be present. On the arrival of the boat (which takes nearly three minutes to man it and pull it from the boat-house to the bridge), the drag was thrown three or four times before she was found ; hence at least four minutes had expired before she could again breathe atmospheric air. She was placed in a warm bath, and Mr. Wo,,lley, on his arrival, bled h er, as she suffered much both from congestion of the brain and chest. She was conveyed to St. George's Hospital, where she is pronounced out of danger. She proves to be a servant out of place, lately come from Re igate, Surrey. DEATH OF A CONVICT BY DROWNING.-011 Thurs. day afternoon, about two o'clock, a convict of the War rior hulk, named Turner, while at work unloading timber from a London trading vessel, overbalanced himself and fell into the river. A waterman's boat was promptly on the spot, and every exertion made to save him, but he disappeared almost instantaneously at the stern of the vessel. The same convict fell into the river about twelvemonths ago in a nearly similar manner as the pre sent, which has proved fatal, and it was with the greatest difficulty he was saved the first time.

Such was the consternation and confusion of the whole party, that for a length of time doubts existed of the elder brother's fate, and nearly a quarter of an hour had elapsed before his mangled remains were dug out of the gravel. Dr. Gwynne of Fort Augustus was immediately summoned to the spot, and rende re d ever y ass i s t ance in his power to the survivor ; but hi s f r i en d s b e i ng d es irous to remove him to his father's ho use , near F or t William, a spring cart was procured, and he was conveyed to Letterfinlay, where he breath e d hi s last ea rly on Satur day morning. They were both young men of excellent character, and a third brother (the overseer of the part,Y) was within a few feet of the fatal spot at the time the accident happened.—lnverness Courier.
