TUE NEW COAL EXCILANGE. Tho very early day fixed for the Royal visit to celebrate toe opening of the Coal .Exctioiancogme has occa plete the sioned the greatest stir awl activ . i h ty decorative and wher works whic must be finished before that interesting ceremonial takes . place. At present the painters and artists are still engaged at their wosk, but front the numbers employed there is o reas on to fe that the work will not in a few days be sufficiently advanced to welcome the notice of the Royal visitors and of the public, whose admiration it cannot fail to call forth. As it is, in consequence of the clearing away of the scaffolding and the various apparatus of the workmen, it is now practicable to form a much higher idea than could have been well formed of the effect of the whole when this most ele gant edifice was last made the subject of notice. A very casual observer of the whole structure must regard it as a new illustration of the progress of architectural and decorative art in our country, . and a very clear promise of rapid improvement in the character and style of ,our public buildings. It seems as if it has been the d esi g n of the architect, and the artists who have co - oper ated with him, to erect a monu ment to the coal tra de of our country, a nd on the banks of that river whose pools are filled with those mineral treasures, to celebrate the worth of this great staple of English merchandise, the mining pro cesses by which it is obtelined, and the good shipping by which it is conveyed to its destination. • The style of this edifice is decidedly Italian, with some peculiar and original features in the structure and decorations. I f it were designed to giv prominence to another material of vast importance among the mineral resources of England, the architect has accomplished his plan, by the liberal introduction of iron, cast and wrought, in the most original and agreeable forms. - The exterior, with its two facades, its tower, and principal entrance, forms an imposing ensemble. The principal entrance is still occupied by the artists, who are just finishing a beautiful piece of decorative art by which this entrance is surmounted, and which present§ the figure of Plenty pouring her treasures out of the cornucopice, and surrounded by figurini. The planning of the interior strikes the observer by its originality, and by the excellent manner in which every superficial foot of ground has been ap propriated to its best use. The chief space consists of a magnificent rotunda, being the Bourse of the gentlemen who trade in the black diamond. Looking upwards, the spectator observes three galleries pro jecting from the piers, and connecting the numerous offices surrounding the circular area. The whole is surmounted by a fine dome, through which a profusion of yellow and white light descends into the rotunda. The rotunda is. constructed chiefly of iron, and dis plays great ingenuity on the part of Mr. Bunning, the arcnitect, for his original application of this most useful material to the ribs and framework of the dome and circular galleries. The prevalence of cane and • twisted ropes, formed out of this material, is calculated to give the idea that it has laid aside the intractable and stubborn character it has hitherto sustained. The whole of this rotunda is covered with encaustic painting, of high artist excellence, by Slr. Sang, the distinguished artist whose works in the clubs, the mansions of the nobility, and the Royal Exchange, have earned for him the most distinguished reputation. The twenty• four pilasters or decorated piers represent the process by which the coals are brought from the beds in which they are found to the furnaces and stoves where they are consumed„ The lower range of panels in the dome contain, on a turquoise blue ground, the nio:t remarkable fossil coal plants with their botanical Lames superscribed. The spaces above the piers in the dome are filled up with well-executed representa tions of the apparatus employed by the miners at their work, such as the shovel, pickaxe, the rake, and the Davy lamp, most ingeniously arranged in the form of troohies. The pilasters in the galleries are essentially ltail'aele!,que, consisting of beautifully painted scrolls, medallions, and geological specimens, sigillaria, ferns, and calamites found in the coal beds. There are views of the various coal-pits of the north, also of thekniners in their working dresses, and in the various depart ments of their labour. On the lowest range of pilasters are allegorical representations of the attributes which are essential to success in mercantile industry, with the designa tions appropriately given in English, such as Wisdom, Justice, Fortitude, Perseverance, and W atchfulness. At the base of these eight pilasters are given emble matical figures of the eight principal rivers in the kingdom. No one can view this beautiful erection without admiring the ingenuity and skill by which all persons eoncerned in the plan and its execution have united the utile with the dulce, at the same time securing the conveniences necessary for trade, and doing much to encourage and cultivate the fine arts; and for the liberal manner in which the whole has been conceived, the corporation of London deserves the highest honour. The principal public offices surrounding the rotunda are those appropriated to the corporation officers who have to collect the coal dues, and who are, we under st ind, appointed by the corporation ; the factors' hoard-room, the weighers' society, and the merchants and factors, among whom the present Lord Mayor of London holds a very prominent position. On Thursday afternoon a gentleman's carriage came in contact with a phaeton on the King's-road, opposite Mr. Booty's shop, at the bottom of West-street. o.le of the wheels of the phaeton was knocked off by the concussion, and in consequence the vehicle was thrown violently to the ground, when a lady and gentleman, its inmates, were thrown out, but happily escaped with a slieht scratch or two. The footman jumped from the dickey to secure the horses, and in doing so sprained his ankle rather severely.—Brigliton Gazette. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT MILLPORT.— On Thursday afternoon last a very distressing accident occurred to a sun of Mr. James Begg, formerly of this city, but who has been for some time past residing in Millport. On that day the boy had attended school as usual, : and in the afternoon he, with two of his school fellows, proceeded along the cliffs to gather bramble berries, little dreaming of the sad fate which awaited him, and the anguish his parents and friends were so soon to be plunged into. He was an only son, an inte resting little boy of nine or ten years of age. Ho had not been long engaged at what he thought innocent and safe amusement, when by some treacherous step he was hurled over the precipice to the depth of 108 feet, un• noticed by his comrades, for they had left him a little way. The distance from the top to the bottom of the cliff is 172 feet, but he fell on a projecting rock 64 feet from the base. How long the poor little fellow might have remained in that place is not known, it being a spot very little traversed; but a gamekeeper happened to see him fulling, and proceeded to the spot, where a woful st.ectacle met . his eye. The poor boy was lying with his skull dreadfully fractured, and otherwise severely bruised. Ho was conveyed home. still in life, but it was only to add to the grief of the family, for the agony of the boy showed but too plainly that he could not sur yin,. He lived till Sunday morning. We can easily imagine the feelings of the bereaved family, and sympa thise with them in their grief. Mr. Begg lost an inte resting and accomplished daughter but a short time ago, which adds to the present affliction.—Glasgow Constitu tional. Wheat sowing goes on slowly. On Wednesday and Thursday last a good breadth was got in; but after this nothing was done, owing to the rain, until the be ginning of the week. The rains have done good, as they hive "closened " the ground, which was before too light, and. being full of insects, not in a fit state to receive the seed. There is a complaint ameng the potato growers of the tubers being affected; and although they come up bri,eht and sound they are fast changing, and it is feared will not keep during the winter. Turnips continue to grow, and thgre is a good quantity of feed in the grass lands.—Brighton Gazette. Loss OF THE COMMODORE isTAPIER.—The following letter regarding the loss of this vessel has been received from Captain Thompson:— " Barque Harbinger, Archangel, Sept. 26, 1849. " Sir,—l am sorry to inform you of the loss of your brig, Commodore Napier, on the 21st inst., in the White Bee, on the Lapland shore, about six miles above Cross Island. The . weather being very foggy, she ran three _ or four feet out or 'the water forward. Mr. thy says he would have got her off by heaving ballast, if the weather had kept moderate; but it came on to blow on the shore, and the rock went through her. Being a great declivity on the rock she slipped off it, and sank in four fathoms water, with nothing standing above the deck. The crew are all saved, but have not saved any thing belonging to the vessel. The consul has got the log-book to note the protest, and `he crew are put on board different ships—two of the boys on board the Harbinger—aed Mr. Hay expects to come home with me also. My cargo is all down, and I shall be loaded on the 28th, and leave this as soon thereafter as possible. "I am, sir, yours respectfully, (Sigrked) "PETER THOMPSON. "Thomas Neish, Esq., Dundee." The Commodore Napier was one of the finest brigs be loneing to this port-291 tons register—but was, we understand, insured.—Dundee Advertiser. Lpuuay.—CHARGE OF SHOOTING Two BOYS.— At,the Petty Sessions on Wednesday, Thomas Bean, of Berrow, was charged with shooting with a gun at two boys, named. Richard Su mmers an d J o h n Baldwin, withintent to do them some gr i evous b o d i l y h arm. M r . R e ece, solicitor, who attrndod on behalf of the prisoner, hoped the bench would treat the case as a common as sault only. He stated that the defendant had merely discharged the gun to frighten the two complainants, whom ho caught steali▪ ng his walnuts, and had no inten tion of doing them an y harm. After consultation, the bench agreed to take the i case asnna i ssaul only. Richard Summers deposed: I li▪ ve at the oi yb . usb t in ,the parish of FAstoor. I was in com p an y with John Baldwin throwing at Bunn's walnut-trees, on Sunday evening, the 7th of October, when B unn came within thirty yards of us and presented a gun at drew the trigger, and the cap snapped, but us. He the gun did not go off. We then ran up a lane, and he followed us, and when about sixty yards from us, as we turned round to look at him, he fired, and a shot went underneath one of my eyes, where it now remains. John Baldwin gave similar evidence, and deposed that some of the shots from the gun struck his hand. No defence was offered further than that above stated. The magis trate fined the defendant 2/. for the assault upon Sum mers, and the like penalty for the assault upon Baldwin, including costs.— Worcester Chronicle. THE SUN. LONDON, FRANCE. The Sii'2,cle has the following on the Turkish ques tion :—" In spite of the et - fors of M. Mule and M. Thiers, who are become the directors of the Legiti mist party, the President of the Republic and the majority of his Council have rangid themselves, on the Eastern question, on the side of civilization, against the sanguinary pretensions cf the Czar, that Sovereign Pontiff of the soi-disant Divine right of Kings. Thus, as we have announced, the Mediter ranean fleet has received orders to repair to Smyrna, where it will join that of Admiral Parker, to act in concert in case of need, according to ulterior instructions ; and advice has been sent to the French Ambassador at Constantinople of the order that has been given. The Republic has now fourteen sail of the line armed at Toulon, and three frigates. All these vessels do not form part of the Mediterranean fleet, but they could join it before their services could be required. The steam fleet in the Mediter ranean is not less respectable, being composed of twelve frigates ; and if it should become necessary to embark a force of 25,000 men, the means of transport would not be wanting. We do not believe that Russia would attempt the risk of a war with Turkey allied to France and Great Britain, but that is for us only an additional reason for ap proving of a demonstration which will consolidate European peace by showing tho se whose ambition would lead them to disturb it with whom they would have to deal. It is, moreover, importait to inflict a striking humiliation on Russia,the auxiliary of all who threaten either directly or indirectly the principle of national sovereignty and of progress. An end will thus be put, by a single blow, to the Conservative boastings of the Czar, and to the policy of that party which, in the name of the faith, lean with one hand on the Catholic Pope of Rome, and with the othsr on the schismatic Pope of Moscow, to arrest the progress of human reason. M. Coralli has given notice in the National As imbly of the following motion :--" In presence of the difficulties which menace the independence of the Sultan and the integrity of the Ottoman empire, the Assembly, animated with a desire of maintaining the balance of power and peace of Europe, and to impart greater authority to the word of France and unity to her action, invites the Ministry to demand from all the Powers, parties to the Convention of the 15th July, 1840, the strict execution of that convention, to which France became a contracting party by the treaty of the 15th July, 1841." eiti(;Es 4 )F SHARES IN BANK S, ASSURA;IJCE, AND OTHER COM PANLEti' STOCK.

One half hour later and all the workmen would have been on the building.—Kent Herald.

I am sad of heart in addressing you for the last time. You, who are bound to me by so many ties of grief and joy; sharers in glory, though erne,- eating from the blood of our brethren. It is but a short time since we entered upon our glorious and contentious career. We have striven to reach the goal, and we have striven, too, with the most generous 'devotion. We did all that mortal men could do, . and we can calmly face God's judgment .eat and that of the world. But our efforts availed not, And we quit the scene of our combats, the grave of so many patriotic hopes; for though we might still have shed our blood on it, it was decreed that our death could not be of service to our poor country. That country demands this last sacrifice; it wants our lives for a future day. We quit the field of battle, because we owe a sacred duty to Hungary, for in the stauuchn-s3 of our devotion lies all its hopes of future salvation. " Comrades! continue to be what you are—the pil. tars and the hope of Hungary. Your late task has been executed with a manly and intrepid spirit. You fielded, but it was to fate—you bent before the irrosisti b!e impetus of the late events. This consciousness ought to be your comfort. You saved your honour. Comrades! receive the warmest thanks of the country for) our bravery end devotion, and with it my sincere heartfelt adieus. God bless you all. " GEORGE KLAPRA." TURKEY. Accounts have been received from Constantinople to the 3d inst. They affirm the accounts which had been previously received of the adoption by Bern of the Mussalman faith. His real religion, as he himself expressed it, is hostility to Russia. On the 2d 60,000 men were reviewed at San Ste faro, on the coast of the Marmora, by the Sultan. Sir Stratford Canning and General Aupick were pre sent. After the review both Ambassadors were honoured with an audience by the Sultan. Sir Stratford Canning presented the Hon. Mr. Jerning ham, Secretary of Embassy, and Lord Mandeville, to his Majesty ; and the Vicomte de Gabriac, First Secretary of the French Legation, was presented by G(neral Aupick. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Odin arrived on the 3d from Corfu and Athens, with dispatches for Sir Stratford Canning. It is understood that the Odin is to remain for some time under the orders of the Ambassador. Her arrival caused a great sensation. She brought the news that the English and French fleets were shortly expected at Vourla-bay, near the mouth of the Dardanelles. ITALY. The Prefect of Police of Rome issued the following ordonnance on the 9th : "For some days past certain individuals have tra versed the streets of the capitsl singing, and crowds have collected and accompanied them. Although those assemblages have not hitherto disturbed public tran• quillity, they are, nevenheles, contrary to the ordon ances of police, and may servo as a pretext for culpable manifestations. " The Prefect has consequently ordered the following: —Art. 1. All assemblages of people, stationed on the public squares, or traversing the streets, singing or not, are forbidden. 2. Singing is also forbidden in coffee house and other public places without a licence from the Administration. 3. The police agents and public force are charged, under their responsibility, with the execution of the present ordonnance. The military com mander shall lend them assistance when required, to disperse such assemblages. 4th. All infractions shall be punished according to the laws on tu.nultuous meetings. " LE ROUXEAU, the Prefect of Police. " Rome, Oct. 8, 1849." The Constitutionale of Florence states, on the au thority of private correspondence, that at Naples all the functionaries who formerly held offices under Del Carretto were being re-installed. The Jesuits were omnipotent at Naples. A letter from Venice states that an immense num ber of passports had been applied for by inhabitants of Venice and of the Venetian provinces, but that the Austrian Government generally refused to give any. Although the city is not openly subjected to a war-contribution, the richest families are privately forced to pay large sums. The port and city are deserted, misery is at its height, and commerce at a stand. The writer adds, that if the free port of Venice is abolished, the city will be ruined for ever. BEDMINSTER —A RAILWAY RIDE FREE OF CHARCE.—A curious and amusing accident occurred tc one of the lads belonging to the national school of this town. It appears that the young gentleman was idling for a day, when his saunterings took him to the neigh bourhood of the railway as the luggage train was passing. As the part of the line at Bedminster which he was then on is not far from the terminus, the engine had not got up its speed, and was then, with the vans, moving at a comparatively slow rate, a circumstance which induced the youthful truant to lay on behind by the buffer of the last waggon for a short run. Gradually, however, the pace quickened, until at length the rapid rate at which he flew along convinced the young shaver that it would be dangerous to descend frog. his perch, and not perhaps quite safe to continue there, so he crept up the back of the waggon and under the tarpaulin, crouched up snugly in a corner amongst the goods. Here he remained, afraid to show himself at any of the intermediate stations, until they reached Exeter at four o'clock, when, on the porters coming to unpack the waggons, he was found in his hiding place. " I'm very hungry," was his first cry on being detected, which was probably the case, as he had been six hours travelling; so the porters very kindly gave him some food, and ou telling his story, the people at the station sent him back by another train; thus the youth had a good ride and dinner for nothing.— Somerset County Herald. PLYMOUTH, OcT.l7.—An inquest was held yesterday at Burt's Ordnance Arms Inn, Devonport, before A. B. Bone, Esq., the coroner, on the body of Jane Bell, a re sident in Andrew's-lane, who was found in her bed on Monday evening in a state of stupor, from the effects of which she never recovered. The unfortunate woman is the widow of a surgeon in the navy, who died eighteen months since. Since his death, it appears :he had con • tracted dissolute habits, and was often intoxicated. On one of these occasions, some six months since, she had a quarrel with a naval officer who was in the house, and nearly broke his head with a poker, which was seized by the police, who were called in upon the occasion. In her fits of intoxication the deceased used to rave violently upon this subject, which, it appears, alwa) s remained on r mind. She was the sole occupant of the house where she was found ; and this circumstance, added to the fact of its being known that she was possessed of considerable property, led at first to the supposition that some foul play might have taken place. It was quite clear, however, from the evidence, that the deceased roust have poisoned herself—adding another to the list of those who have caused their own death from a too free in dulgence in intoxicating liquors. She had upwards of 2004 in the savings' bank, and, besides the property pro• duced in the evidence, it is said she has a chest of plate of considerable value. The jury returned a verdict that de ceased died from the effects of a peiscn called morphia, taken when in a state of temporary insanity. SHIPSTON-ON-STOUR. BALLOON A •CENT. -On Thursday last, Mr. Green, Rhe well known aeronaut, made a splendid ascent from the delightful garden oF the Blisworth Hotel, adjoining the North-Western Railway station, at the Northampton junction. On this occasion Mr. Green was accompanied by Mr. Rash, of Elsenharn hill, Essex, for the purpose of again testing the merits and action of the newly invented aneroid barometer, which performed well during the ascent arid descent, indication the elevation and depression of the balloon to 11.000 feet, the greatest altitude attained. The descent was effected in Tredingham Field, near Shipston-on- Stour.— Worcester .Journal. A man may be great by chance ; but never wise nor good, without taking pains for it.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, com puted from the returns made in the week ending October 16, 1849, is 245. 4d. per cwt. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, Oct. 19.) SUGAR.—To-day West India Sugar was in excellent request for home trade purposes, and in some cases the rates obtained were 6d per cwt above those of Friday last. The purchases amounted to 730, making for the week 3,000 hhds, &c; and the market for all sorts of Colonial Sugar closes with a healthy appearance. REFINED.—To-day Refined sugar was in good demand for home trade purposes, and prices ruled firmer, brown Lumps felling at 47s to 47s 6d, and fair grocery 48s to 48s 6sl per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar continues to be dealt in with caution at 27s 6d to 28a 6d per cwt. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was d€ alt in with greater freedom, and the public sales of 3,938 bags went at rather higher rates; fine yellow realised 39s 6d to 40s 61, low to good 35s to 395, mid dling to fine brown 33s to 355, inferior 28s to 325, grainy white 453 to 465, and yellow ditto at 41s to 42s per cwt. EAST INDIA..—To-day Bengal Sugar was operated in with more readiness, and at public sale 2,800 tags were sold at full rates for white Benares, whilst other sorts continue rather higher; Benares fine white realised 39s 6(1 to 404, middling to good 38s to 393, damp and washed 37s Gd to 40s, ordinary and middling soft yellow 343 to 365, superior yellow like Mauritius 401 to 41s, ordinary to fine 36s to 39s per cwt. FORElGN.—Elolders have displayed more firmness this week, and the supply has diminished of all sorts, whilst none was submitted to public competition, and the quantity declared is small. Bonded parcels are held for previous terms, yet shippers are not more disposed to operate, and the purchases concluded by private treaty have been of little moment. The sales made by Refiners working under bond have also been small. Previous terms are required for duty-paid parcels, still home dealers continue to do business with caution, although Foreign Sugar is as cheap as Colonial. An impression exists that for most descriptions prices have arrived at their lowest point. Some holders are not disposed to sell at present rates, and have withdrawn their samples from the market. MOLASSES.—For West India there is still a firm mar ket, and sales to a fair extent have been made at 15s 6d to 18s per cwt. There is also a further decrease in the supply at market, especially for fine sorts. In Bengal rather more business has been concluded at 14s 6d to 153 per cwt, and there are not free sellers. Coco.—There is still little desire to operate in Foreign, and a parcel of 1,169 bags of Para at public sale was taken in at 28s per cwt for good dark red, being above the value.—The market for West India has a dull appearance, and there are sellers upon rather lower terms. At public sale 293 bags of Trinidad were taken in at 39s 6d to 41s for ordinary and middling, and 24 bags of Grenada were withdrawn at 37s per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was much activity in the Coffee market; shippers and home dealers were anxious to do business, and paid higher terms for most sorts. The public sales of 48 casks 2,706 bags Ceylon went at an advance on former rates of 64 for Native, and is to 2s for Plantation. Native, good and real good ordinary realised 40s to 413; Plantation, fine, 655, middling 54s to 58s, low middling 49s to 52a, fine to fine ffie ordinary 44s to 48s, triage 37s to 395, and pea berry 53s 64 to 60s. Of Mocha 100 bales went at 54s to 56s for middling, and at 508 to 53s fur low middling. The public sales of Coffee declared for the ensuing week are small, consisting of only 73 casks 500 bags Planta tion Ceylon,__ and 500 bags Rio.

WAKEFIELD, OCT. 19.—The arrival of wheat is less than for the last few weeks, but there is a good show of samples ; millers require little to•day, and prices are rather easier. Barley is now more wanted, and finest qualities arc higher. Oats and shelling go off slowly at declining prices. The value of beaus is fully supported No change iu other articles. New.

NEWBURY, OCT. 18.—To-day being the large hiring fair has very much interfered with the trade in corn, of which the supply is moderate. Wheat, most of which is rather affected by the weather, has sold freely at an ad vance of Is to 2s per quarter from the rates of last week. Barley, of malting quality, in fair request at rather advancing rates ; grinding also firmly maintained late rates. Beans, oats, and peas exceedingly difficult to sell, at barely as good prices as last week. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 19.—At this day's market there was a small attendance of the town and country trade, and only a limited business was done in wheat and flour at the full quotations of Tuesday. Oats and oat meal were in fair request, but without change in price. In barley, beans, and peas there was scarcely anything doing. Indian corn was held with great firmness, which tended to check sales. VV BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 19.—The offices are Still sa badly supplied with samples of West Indian that the transactions since our last report are necessarily in significant in amount, but the few sales made are about former prices. The tone of the market is, hower, cer tainly firmer. Refined goods are without attention. EXETER, OCT. 19.—Cattle--The market was not so largely supplied as last week, but there was driven in quite enough to meet the demand. But little alteration has taken place in prices, although there appears some signs of improvement, the probability being that we have seen the lowest markets for some time to come. Prime fat beef was not very plentiful, somo of tho very best made 8s 63 per score, but the general figure was from is to Bs. Cows and calves, 71 to 131 each; barreners 4s 6d to 55 per score; butchers calves, 4d to 5d per lb. There was a moderato supply of sheep—best wethers for the butcher, were generally worth 41d per Ib; ewes, 4d to 41. One lot of very large fat wethers were bought at 34s each, or about 41 per lb. There was a good supply of store pigs. Pork Caroases—There was a very large supply to day, at a considerable reduction, prices rang ing from 63 to 75 63 per score. Pannier—Turkeys, 5s ed each; geese, 4s 6d to 63 ditto; ducks, 43 to 5s per couple; fowls, 2s 6d to 4s ditto; pheasants, 63 per brace; partridges 23 93 to 3s ditto; woodcocks, 63 to 7s per brace; snipes, Is ed ditto; hares, 2: Gd to 2s 9d each; roasters, 4s to 53 ditto. Butter, lld to is per lb; eggs 14 for 1 , . Corn Exchange—One o'clock —Although the Ex change has been well attended, but little business has been transacted. The growers generally seemed disin clined to sell the best samples of wheat (warranted) under es per bushel, whilst the millers would have been ready buyers could they have purchased at 5s 6d. At this latter figure some business was transacted, and some fair samples of wheat have also sold at 5a Gd. Foreign wheat of equal quality with our native produce, still continues relatively dearer. Inferior samples of French red were on offer, at 383 per quarter; good samples, 40s to 41a, whilst for good sound foreign white wheat 47s per quarter was asked, 60lbs to the bushel. Barley must still be quotei at 3s 61 to about 3s 93 per bushel; oats were a trifle dearer and were worth 2s to 2s 3d per bushel. Fine flour is also worth more, and must be quoted at 30s to 32s per sack of 2801bs. We are glad to see that an effort is being made to commence business more generally at the time appointed for that purpose. The Exchange is open from eleven until two, but hitherto the bulk of the business has been done with the last half hour. It is proposed by the factors to be in the market punctually at twelve o'clock for the future. If the agriculturists would do the same, the whole business of the market might be finished in an hour, and our agricultural friends would have ample time to discuss all mstters pertaining to agriculture afterwards. BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 18.—During the present week more money has been asked for wheat, but only paid in a very few instances, buyers preferring to reduce their stocks. We continue to experience a good consumptive demand for barley. Less doing in oats. Beans and peas inquired for, and somewhat dearer. At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat, and the trade ruled dull, at Is per quarter over the currency of this day so'nnight. Barley unaltered. Very little doing in oats. Bean and Peas were both held fors ome advance. wheat and SCARBOROUGH, OCT. 18.—The quantity of t our quo barley is good, and each article sells freel yicaes without Cations.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.—Yesterday afternoon summonses were sent out from the office of Mr. Maule, the Solicitor to the Treasury. to all the witnesses en gaged in this case, requesting their attendance at the Central Criminal Court on Tuesday next, the-23d inst., at ten o'clock, on which day a bill will be preferred be fore the grand jury against the Mannings for the murder of the late Patrick O'Connor. It was originally ev• pected—indeed it was the intention of the Attorney: - General to fix Thursday next for the trial of the pi's' Boners, but in consequence of a letter which was received yesterday morning from Mr. William Massey, one of the principal witnesses, it is extremely doubtful whether the trial of the prisoners will take place this session. Mr. Massey, in his letter to Mr. Bodkin, one of the counsel engaged by the Crown on behalf of the prosecution, state° that he is labouring under severe indisposition, and that he is advised by his medical attendant that it will not be prudent for him to leave his house for several days 0 , come, if at all during the ensuing session of the Centre!, Criminal Court. Should Mr. Massey not be able to tend, it will be impossible for the Crown safe l y to go to trial, as from the fact of Mr. Massey having O f some time lodged in the house of the Manninge , Minver-p lace, and having on several occasions been asked by the Mannings what was the most deadly poison , and also what was the best and safest method of destroy?' ing life, it is presumed that his evidence will tend in a great measure t 9 fix the crime upon the prisoners. IA order that there may be no mistake about the matter an officer and a medical gentleman will this day be dig' patched to Derbyshire to ascertain the real facts of Mr Massey's indisposition, and should it be found that be in a fit state to undertake a journey to London, he w il l be brought up on Monday morning. The counsel en' gaged by the Crown to conduct the prosecution are di' Attorney-General, Mr. Bodkin, Mr. Walesby, and Mr . Clark. Up to last night the prisoners had not definitive l y engaged any Learned Gentlemen to conduct their ese, eg ; but it is expected that funds will be produced to e nsu i, Mrs. Manning to engage Mr. Wilkins, whom she P erl ,l, cularly wishes to be retained. The male prisoner , it 't stated, wishes to retain Mr. Clarkson. Should the tr."; take place on Thursday next, it will in all probabili t y last till Saturday. EGLINTON IRoN WORK/S.—The ancient town a ls' Kilwinning has been greatly improved, and its por e 0 tion augmented, by the establishment of the Eglint_.o ironworks in its immediate vicinity. The 111059 .7 8 Baird, to whom these works belong, by their enterp ri 7A have quite changed its appearance, and greatly incre ase ; the comforts of the inhabitants. It must, therefore, b e , subject of gratification to all to find their works eu,,, ducted with such spirit, and it is to be hoped proat eb : 7 o to themselves. Three furnaces are in blast, and a foe o f one built will be so in a low weeks. The quantiti 0 , iron manufactured daily amounts to about 100 te," The hands employed about these works, including log miners at Dairy, number about 600; so that, recke!: rc e those depending on them, not less than 2,000 del:Pau / 01. their daily bread on the prosperity of the compenY%ool winning is a great resort of those engaged in ornate' il needlework, and the agents for this species of fan u p s embroidery give employment to a great many i° aG girls from the neighbouring towns.—Ki/mareaekJelor JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.—A few days ago, es "_.° at Kewarth, ostler at the Red Lion Inn, Thorne, ee' iy ai work in his master's garden in the South Field, ' be 00- attracted by the cries of a child at a distance, or ibol ceeding to the place, he there found a poor lit tl e and named Rimmington sitting on the grass, coverea, ao rl dirt and mud, his face running down with Wee' et ti• with nothing upon him except his shirt and flsnue l P spy coat.
