THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT Itati.wwv.—Mr. C. J. Carttar, Coroner for Kent, held en ioquebt yesterday at the Castle Tavern, Woolwich, touchin g the death of Hannah Murphy, the wife of a lahoui ing man, who was killed at the Woolwich station on ttcr evening of Sunday last. From the evidence it aneare.l that the deceased, with her husband and three or f, , ur finis, all natives of the emerald isle, had been e; j themselves at Woolwich during the afternoon, aril after p tying visits to half-a diz , , , n different public hou s were returning to the railway station in order to proceed to Lon ion, when by some accident they got se parated. The deceased, imagining that her husband had taken his ticket and gone through the station, hastened after him, as she supposed, and finding a train alongside the plattoeni she grasped hold of one of the third class carriages in order to obtain a seat within it. The train was in motion at the time, and the deceased, continuing to hold on, was dragged along a few paces and then fell between two carriages in such a positien that a part of the train passed over her chest, and caused instant death. It appeared that the train de ceased attempted to get into was going to Gravesend from London, and just in the opposite direc tion to that in which deceased wanted to go. Evidence having been given to show that every proper precaution was tam for the preservation of the passengers from injury, the coroner remarked that the accident appeared to him to have arisen entirely through the woman's own negligence. The poor creature appeared to have missed her husband, and without knowing whether the carriage alongside the platform b'longed to the up or down train, she had run forward and attempted to get into one of them while it was in motion. No re gulation of any railway company could possibly avert acts of this kind on the part of headstrong passengers, and he felt it due to the South-Eastern Company to say that, as far as his experience went, he believed their regulations were equal to those of any company in the kingdom; they carried, he believed, over their Green wich branch, more passengers than any other railway in the kingdom, especially at Easter and Whitsuntide, and as far as he knew, he believed they had never before had a fatal aceirlent to a passenger upon their line. Mr. Finnigan, the superintendent of the company, who was in attendan-e, said it was quite true, they never had. The jury expressed themselves satisfied, and returned a vetict of Accidental Death. THE CROPS IN THE NORTH.--POTATO DISEASE. —ln the course of last week various rumours were in circulation here about the appearance of the potato dis ease in several districts of the county. We have made very minute and pretty extensive inquiries in the higher and lower ewer districts of the county, an d i n so me parts of 1 6 and Abe r d een shires; and the only safe conclusion at which w e can s, arrive,from us, the numerous communica tions now before is,that the disease had appeared among some of the earlier sorts in several quarters of the county. The reports which were in circulation ap pear to have been considerably magnified; i and in some cases where disease was reported, it is still doubtful whether the appearances which o the report or not. were really the product of the tell malady rise me vee r oa w fi e v pt elhroe,t plots lateno -f Throughout the lower part of Morayshir e lao cable symptoms have appeared in so s mi, fa k but at present it is not so extensive the white early kind, and also among white kidney sort; as to give rise to alarm. — Elgin Courier. THE LIVERPOOL TRAGEDIES. The unfortunate man Colkin, who murdered his two children in Oriel street, still lies at the Northern Hospital, and is favour ably progressing towards recovery. He is very peaceable and reserved in irs demeanour, and speaks but little. John Eager, the. person shot by his brother in Cueliffe st, et, also progresses well. Of course neither of the cases can be tried at the -present assizes.—Liverpool John Bristowe, of Broughton Furness, knew Mr. Edward Vicars well. He used to drink freely. In 1846 he was called to see Mr. E. Vicars, the servant telling him her master was going mad. Mrs. Vicars told him that Mr. Vicars had run down a steep place into the river. When witness saw Mr. Vicars he was in bed praying, and scratches were on his body. Mr. Atkinson, the surgeon, was sent for, and on his coming, he said, let him get out of bed. Mr. E. Vicars then got out of bed, and attempted to get out of the window, but witness and Mr. Atkinson prevented him. He then got into bed again, and began to pray, and he continued in that state for a week. On one occasion he told witness he had been ' to hell; that he had had a very pleasant journey; that he touched at a very nice island ; that they found the old hell was full, but there were two new ones which were very pleasant. On another occasion when witness called upon Mr. E. Vicars, he sAid he was very glad to see him, as he was going to die at six o'clock that evening, and he wanted to tell him what to do about his funeral. He took out his watch and said he had only an hour or two to live. Witness said he must go, when Mr. E. Vicars said he had better stop till he was dead. Witness went away, and when he returned he found Mr. E. Vicars making a good supper. The witness then alluded to other acts of singularity committed by Mr. E. Vicars, particularly his refusal to take food, which he perse vered in for upwards of a week, and reduced himself almost to a skeleton. On one occasion witness went with Mr. E. Vicars to Liverpool : he did not speak for the first 20 miles, but on the occasion of witness getting out of the carriage, Mr. Vicars said no earthly power should remove him from the carriage, and it was with the greatest difficulty he was got out. He was afterwards taken to a lunatic asylum, in the neighbourhood of Liverpool. On one occasion he told witness that a whole workhouse might be made mad by electricity. On another occasion he said he would fight for the lunatics as long as he lived, and I would spend all the money he had for them. Cross-examined by Mr. JAMES—After Mr. Vicars had been taken to the asylum witness sold all his furniture, by order of Mr. M. Vicars. Had refused to give an account to the attorney of Mr. E. Vicars of the sale of his furniture, stating that he was indemnified in what he did by Mr. M. Vicars. Witness considered electricity thunder and lightoing.—(Laughter.) The drinking habits of his wife witness believed had made Mr. E. Vicars unhappy. A few days before Mr. E. Vicars' illness he had been hunting and drinking. Witness had not said that Mr. E. Vicars was mad from drink. Mr. Atkinson had said in witness's presence that Mr. E. Vicars must be kept away from his wife, for her drunken habits made him mad. The place Mr. E. Vicars ran to in the river would not take him up to his knees. Mr. E. Vicars had never told him, to the best of his recollection, that he bad been shut up in a ward with a man who was mad upon the subject of electricity. Mr. W. Atkinson, was a surgeon, practising in Broughton Furness. Had known ; Mr. E. Vicars for more than twenty-seven years. Had often seen him too much excited by drink. This witness corroborated the evidence of the last witness with respect to the attempt of Mr. E. Vicars to throw himself out of the window. Witness thought it was right he should be removed to a lunatic asylum, and he appeared to him to have settled down into a species of monomania. The inquiry, which was commenced at eleven o'clock, was at six, by the wish of the jury, and by consent of counsel on both aides, adjourned till this day (Wednesday).

The value of youth by the old, the value of health by the diseased, the value of wealth I the needy.—Eii:u Cook's Journal, HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE.—The High Level Bridge over the Tyne at Newcastle was opened for the passage of trains on Wednesday last, the morning mail tram south being the first that passed. There is only one line of the permanent rails laid, but the other is in a forward state. The carriage way is also just approaching completion, and in a few months it is expected the entire structure will be made available for public use. The Government inspector visited and inspected the bridge on Saturday, when several weighty trains passed over, and he expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the nature and security of the work. The passenger trains, which previously passed along the temporary wooden stage erected alongside the bridge, now pass along the bridge itself. The general character of both the mason and metal work of this magnificent structure is of the most solid and substantial kind. The mason work was let by contract to Messrs. Rush and Lawton, the firm having been extensive contractors on various lines where the works had required strength and solidity in the mason work, dispatch in the execution, and a careful superintendence. These requisites have not been ne• glected with regard to this noble structure. The con tract for the metal and iron work was let to Messrs. Hawks, Crawshay, and Co., in which they were assisted by the firms of Messrs. Losh, Wilson, and Bell, and J. Abbot and Co. The bridge consists of six arches, each having a span of 125 feet, with two curved approaches of about sixty-six feet in length, formed of cast iron pillars and bearers, from the design of R. Stephenson, Esq. Messrs. Losh and Co. executed the castings for the approaches, and Messrs. Abbott and Co. the arches. The stipulated price was about 120,0001. The arches are circular, and made of cast iron, the whole weight of twhichi sis o i s f rri ed, b above 6,000 tons. The railway is carried over the banks of th e arc h es i n the usual manner, and b e l ow h y suspension, of a carriage and foot road for the convenience vehicles however, and willfoot u p u a t s passengers.

BOROUGH, AUGUST 20.—0 n Friday' evening the first pocket of new hops arrived at market, the growth of Mr. Henry Smith, of Etchingham, Sussex. On the following day another pocket arrived from Mr. Henham, of East Peckham, Kent. The Sussex pocket sold at 10/., and the Kent pocket at 111. 4s. per cwt. The picking will not generally commence before the 20th of September. The accounts from Mid Kent this morning come much worse. The mould is making sad havoc in many of the best grounds. During the past week there have been large sales of yearlings (1848) and old hops. We have a firm market to-day, and last week's prices fully supported. The duty estimated at 65,000/. to 70,0001. MAIDSTONE.—The mould is rapidly increasing, even in some of the best grounds, which are " platty, ' the small hops showing no disposition to grow. The cold nights are much against them. CRANBROOK.—The plant does not in general pre sent so promising an appearance as reported in our last. The high winds have beaten the bine severely, and the coldness of the atmosphere has very much retarded its growth. The whole of the plantation still remains in a state of fluctuation, with the chances against it. Those whose opinions we last week stated to be in favour of 80,0001. duty, do not now feel so sanguine on the matter. ROLVENDEN.—The hops are gone back for this last week. Our crop will be very short this year. The greater part of our ground will not do anything. In a few partial grounds we may get 110 cwt. per acre. Duty 65,000/. WEST MALLING.—Some few grounds have im proved in appearance, where the burr has come into hop and shows itself, while others look as black and drooping as blight can make them, and not having strength to force the burr. Mould is increasing. If they are not much better at other places, we cannot see how the present estimated duty is to be realised. EAST MALLINGL—We cannot report any percep tible improvement in the blighted grounds; but in the more favoured gardens there is decidedly an im provement. No mould to notice. WROTHAM.—The hops present a very unfavourable appearance in this part, and there is not so much as any appearance of burr on many of them. BRENCHLEY.—Our hops continue very bad, with the exception of a few favourite pieces. We shall not average two pockets per acre. YALDING.—Our hops are getting on favourably in the good grounds, but the bad are past all recovery. BIDDENDEN AND SMARDEN.—The hops are making but slow progress. The bine is very short, and but little burr. The hops come out slowly, the cold nights being much against them. A bet has been made that Smarden will not average cwt. per acre ; they have improved a little since the bet was made. EDENBRIDGE.—There is a slight improvement visible. The wind and cold nights are very much against them, but still the burr is getting into hop. H u RSTGREEN.—We can quote no genera l i mprove , ment in hops this week. Many seem to stand still, and not yet out into hop, while a few are improved and many get worse. FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICTS, AUG. 20.—The very best grounds are progressing pretty favourably, but the hot days and cold nights do not favour the blighted and backward plantations. Duty for the district supposed to be over-rated at 4,0001.; last year it realised 12,900/. WORCESTER, AUG. 15.--The Worcester Journal says the duty is laid at 7,000/. to 8,000/. PAYMENT OF THE HOP DUTY.—The day fixed for the payment of the first instalment of the postponed duty is the 15th October. The second instalment is payable on the 15th November.—Maidstone Gazette of this day. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22, 1849. EXTRAORDINARY COMBAT. ao Captain nmy ,sL os London, R rdeown o : c v b ae f ns o sd r e t of t l, reported Rose, he ha Britishhaving n i arrivedng a a to and Irish hubi slinp a Co lately passage o f fallen t l e h n e in L iz a ' i r t d h a morning,. a t whale Tthwiso of o'clock,l ar monster ge os ef d v i te m hne e nsious, on a Sun day deep miles wassouth-west suffer ing severely at the time in an encounter with two well-known enemies of his tribe—a sword-fish and a thresher. These formidable creatures generally go together through the waters, and are reputed to be joined in a league of unrelenting enmity against the cetaceous animals. Captain Rochfort and the crew saw the combat for about three-quarters of an hour, but being obliged to continue their voyage home wards, they had to forego the pleasure of witnessing the struggle to its close, and of taking in tow to Dublin the body of the vanquished whale, for of his being eventually worsted in the affray there was no doubt whatever. The sword-fish was seen once driving his tremendous weapon into the belly of his victim, as he turned on his side in agony. The thresher fastened on his back and gave him terrific blows, which were heard at a distance with great dis tinctness. The latter not having any power to strike in the water, it was the instinctive policy of the sword • fish to make the attack from below; this causing the whale to rise above the surface, which he did at times to a remarkable height, the other assailant, which was about 20 feet long, then dealt out his blows unsparingly, with all the force of his lengthy frame—between them their victim must have suffered extremely ; he spouted Wood to an immense height, and crimsoned the sea all around to a considerable distance. Being within 200 yards of the ship, to which the whale appeared to make for protection, the conflict was dis • tinctly visible to all on board, who regretted it was not permitted them to await the issue, and carry off the prize from epicurean whalers, whose palates are satisfied, notwithstanding all their labours, with the tongue of their unwieldy antagonist, upon whi c h alone they condescend to feast , leaving the carcass to some coarser appetite, or, as it may be hoped in this instance, to some lucky fishermen, i whose toil in se curing it will be well repaid. It s considered un usual for marine animals, such as were engaged in the struggle now narrated, to be seen in such a lati tude. But this point must be settled by naturalists. —Dublin Mail. EXTENSIVE BANK FORGERIES IN MANCHESTER. An extensive forgery on the Manchest er an d Liverpool District Bank has just been discovered. Two men implicated in the felony have been appre hended, and it is supposed that the investigations which are about to be commenced will lead to the discovery of a number of serious forgeries upon the same company. The circumstances connected with the present case are, that on the 20th ult., in conse quence of an advertisement which appeared in the Liverpool Mercury, a person named Lindley applied for a situation, and received an answer appointing a meeting with the writer (a Mr. Robinson, who at that time called himself Openshaw), at the Stork Hotel, in that town. After that meeting a further in terview took place at the Corn Exchange, in Manches ter, at which Robinson, after giving Lindley two letters, the one to post and the other to deliver, gave him a cheque upon the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank for 3371. 155., desiring him to get it cashed. This Lindley did, and returned with six 501. notes the re mainder of the amount being in gold. The notes, at Ro binson's request, were subsequently turned into gold at the Bank of England, and Robinson pocketed the money without taking the trouble to count it. At another interview, a few days afterwards, Robinson offered Lindley a situation, but requested him to re turn to Liverpool, promising to communicate with hi m upon the subject, and giving him money to de fray his expenses. On the Tuesday following Lind ley began to suspect from various circumstances that he had been duped, and, having called at the branch bank in Liverpool, he there related the above circum stances, and an investigation took place. The cheque purported to have been drawn by Messrs. Collinson and Simpson, brewers in Manchester, who have an account with the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank, and it has been pronounced by Mr. Simpson to be a forgery—and a remarkably clever one—of his handwriting. The circumstances were communi cated to the detective police, and on Friday last Robin son was apprehended by one of the Liverpool detec tive force in the shop of a man named Macauley, who was supposed to be an accomplice. They were taken into custody, and examined before the magis trates on the following (Saturday) morning. Ro binson was clearly identified, and a young man of the name of M'lntire related another instance of having been duped by the same individual. Macauley, however, did not seem to be implicated in the charge beyond having been seen in the hotel with Robinson and also at the bank when M'lntire was cashing another cheque, which Robinson had given to him under circumstances precisely similar to those detailed in the case of Lindley. We understand that the above is only one of a series of forgeries which have been recently committed, and from which the Manchester and Liverpool District Bank has been a sufferer to a considerable amount—pro bably not less than from 1,2001. to 1,5001. The prisoners have been remanded to afford time for insti tuting further inquiries into the subject. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, Aua. 20, 1849.

SUGAR.—To•day full rates were obtained for most sorts of West India Sugar; on the part of home dealers not much desire was evinced to make purchases. The public sales of 170 hhds and 6 tres Barbadoes went at steady prices; low yellow at 37s to 378 6d, middling 38s to 395, good to fine 39s 6d to 41s per cwt. The market for raw Sugor closes quiet. REFINED.—To•day Refined Sugar met with less de mand for home trade purposes, still refiners were firm, and good brown lumps could not be obtained under 49s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for full rates, and is wanted. MAIIRITIUS.—This afternoon the quantity of Mauritius Sugar submitted to public competition amounted to 1,640 bags. There was not much desire evinced to operate, and former rates were barely supported; good yellow went at 395, middling 37s 64 to 38s 6d, low 36s to 375, good and fine brown 34s 6d 43, 363, middling 33s 61 to 345, fair to good grey 365 to 38s 641, EAST INDIA.—This afternoon grocery sorts of Madras were in limited request only, and 2,000 bags at auction only partly found buyers at about the former value; good and fine strong white went at 43s to 44s 641, mid. 41s to 425, and fine soft yellow 39s to 39s 61. I,LOO bags of other sorts all sold, but at rather lower rates; ordinary and middling soft brown went at 30s to 325, good and fine 32s 6d to 33s 6d, ordinary yellow 33-4 6,1 to 345, and middling 34s 6d to 35s 61. 1.000 bags Bengal went at barely former terms; good and fine white Benares at 40s 6d to 42s 6d, damp 40s to 425, and strong white at 45s to 47s per cwt. FOREIGN.—To-day there was no public sale of Foreign Sugar, but several parcels are declared. By private treaty few buyers were to be met with, and sales can be made upon rather lower terms. MoLissEs.—Prices keep on the decline for West India, and buyers operate with caution; the stock also continues to get larger. The sales are confined to 150 puns, chiefly good Antigua, at 18s 63 per cwt. In East India Molasses few sales have been made, and sellers are willing to accept 15s to 16s per cwt. Honey has advanced in. value. Cocoa.—With West India the market is still well supplied, and prices contiue to recede, whilst the home trade demand is limited. The value of red Trinidad is from 393 to 475, and grey 38s to 425. The demand for Foreign has been limited, and Aellers are willing to acept 26s 6d to 28i per cwt, as there is still a large stock. COME.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee met with at tention. At public sale 126 casks 1,410 bags were offered, and nearly all sold at firm prices; Native, real good ordinary went at 36s 6d to 37.; Plantation, good 58s to 635, low middling and middling 50s to 57s 6d, fine fine ordinary 44s to 495, other sorts 36s 6d to 435, a few lots fine 70s to 71s, and pea berry 59s 6d to 65s per cwt. TEA.—Congou, large sales have been made, whilst holders display much firmness, and higher rates are likely to prevail. We quote ordinary and good common quality at 81d to 9d. mixed blackish leaf 9id to 100, blackish leaf Ild to is Oid, ditto strong is Id to is 31d, fine and Pekoe flavour is 4i to is 10d per lb. Green has realized full terms, and a good business was con cluded in all sorts, whilst an advance is likely to take place. Public sales of tea will be declared shortly, yet large parcels will not be brought forward. RICE.—To-day East India wet with less attention privately, and at auction 2,400 bags white Bengal were taken in at lOs for good mid white rather broken and dusty, being the full value. SPIRITS.—OnIy small purchases have been made in Leeward Island Rum, and a fall in the value has taken place; the price is 1 34id to is 5d proof, and on the part of holders a desire has been evinced to sell. East India is not much wanted, and prices are receding; only 250 puns have been sold at is 3d to Is 33d proof. A good demand has been experienced in Demerara, but at rather lower rates, and the sales are 300 puns at is lld to 2s 3d for 30 to 40 per cent over proof. The lower sorts of Jamaica have been dealt in with greater freedom by shippers and home dealers, still better rates are not to be obtained. About 250 puns have been sold at 2s 6d to 2s 9d for 30 to 36 per cent overproof. A fair business has been concluded in the better kinds at 2s 104 to 3s 4d, and choice marks at 33 6d to 4s, of the latter the supply continues to get smaller. Former advanced rates are well supported for Brandy, and the home trade demand has been active. A further rise is also expected to take place, and prices rule as follows; Cognac best brands of the vintage of 1848 at 3s 10d to 4s, 1847 ditto at 4s 4d to 4s 6d, 1846 ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1845 ditto 5s 8d to 5s 10d, inferior marks 2s 4d to 33 Bd, and Bordeaux 2s to 2s 2d. Geneva sells with more freedom at is 9d to Is 10d for exportation, and - fine for duty at 2s 31 to 3s 3d. The market for British made Spirit is firm at 9s Bd, and Gin at 8s to 8s 6d for 17 to 22 per cent under proof. INDIGO.—The market for East India is firm, and pur chases to a fair extent have been made by exporters and home dealers, while the rates paid are fully equal to the last quarterly auctions. For Spanish the demand is steady, at full rates. COCHINEAL.—For public sale this week large parcels are declarod, mostly Honduras. A good business has been concluded since our last report, and full rates are paid. At auction 127 bags were fur the most part sold —Honduras Silvers 3s 7d to 4s Id, black 3s 7d to 5s 2d; Mexican 3s 9:1 to 3s 10J, and Silvers at 3s 6d to 3s. 8d per lb. SPICES.—For Pimento former rates are readily offered, but few parcels are to be obtained by private treaty. The value is from 4d to 4i- I prr lb. For Casiia Lignea the market is firm, and there are several purchasers at 94s to 100 a per ewt, according to quality. The market remains firm for Cloves ; Bencoolen at Is 4d to 2s, Araboyna is to is 2d, Bourbon and Zanzibar lid to Bid per lb. For Cinamon the demand is better, and merchants display firmness; for Ceylon of first quality they obtain 3s 9d to 4s 3d; second ditto 2s 8d to 4s, and third ditto is to 2s 10d. Black Pepper realised full rates, and by private treaty opera tions have been upon a more extended scale; Malabar shot at 31d to 31d, heavy 3d to 311, inferior 2id to Sumatra clean 2id to 21, I, and inferior 2id to 41. White from 4d to 9d. Pod Pepper is further depressed in value, and at auction 184 bags went at 31s to 38s 61 p,r cwt for low and mid. For Ginger prices have varied little from this day week. Of African, 240 boxes and 1,192 bags at auction were sold at 36s to 37s 6.1 for mid and good mid; 30 pkts of shipping Bengal were taken in at 235; 22 boxes Barbadoes at 36s for mid small; but 134 pkgs of Jamaica were all sold at 41 17s to 81 5s for mid to good. Nutmegs are still wanted, and former rates are well supported. SALTPETRE —For British Refined the demand has been active at 30s 6d to 31s per cwt, and there are not free sellers. In Ni , rate of Soda several purchases have been made at lls 9d to 12i 6tl per cwt, and the market firm. TALLOW.—The purchases made in Russian on the spot have been limited, and there is a desire evinced to sell fine P. Y. Candle at 39s per cwt. Only limited saves have been made for delivery in last three months of the year, and sellers will accept 39s to 39s 3d per cwt. Home melted, however, finds a free sale at 37s 6d to 38s 6i nett cash, but the supply is not smaller. Of Sydney and South American 1,600 casks at auction were for the most part sold at from 34s to 38s 6d; 80 cks P. Y.

OaLs.—There are large arrivals of Cocoa Nut. At public sale 30 tons of Ceylon were taken in at 32/. to 331., and the best is not worth above 35/. per tun. Palm met with a much better demand, and an advar.ce in the value has taken place; sales of fine quality have been made at 31s to 32s per cwt. Rape Oil met with a good sale, and the market is firm—pale 375 6d to 38s, and brown at 375, but the market is better supplied. Olive Oil has been disposed of to a fair extent—Gallipoli 431 to 44/, and other sorts 39s to 42/. Linseed Oil finds a more active demand for home trade purposes, and an advance in the value has taken place, sales having been made at 2536 d to 25s 9d per cwt on the spot. For forward delivers the amount of business concluded has been small, and there are sellers at 25s to 25s 3d. Sperm is not much in demand, and fine quality is offered at 701 to 804 per tun. Seal 321 to 331. for pale. At public sale 40 tuns were only in part sold—straw at 301 lOs to 314 and brown 261 15s to 271105.

In Southern the sales made have been small at 271 to 28/ for low to middling, and at 28/ 108 to 301 lOs for good and fine. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. IPSWICH, AUG. 21. The weather continues very favourable for the har vest; we had to-day a small number of farmers at market. New wheat sold pretty readily at from 41s to 50s per quarter ; old was neglected. Spring corn sold upon much the same terms as last week. Malt rather lower. Flour steady. PER QUARTER. PER QUARTER.

Barley Oats Beans ... 38 „ 30s 9d. Peas lO2 „ 28s BJ. HULL, A ua. 21. Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states—" On the whole, we have had finer weather during the past week, although the temperature has ranged lower than usual or desirable at this season. Some early plots of wheat are cut, and in a week harvest work will be quite general. Arrivals are to a fair extent, chiefly from near small ports, and as re,ards wheat of inferior quality. Such is difficult to sell, and some concession has been neces sary on finer runs to make progress from the import vessel. Warehoused parcels are not generally offered, holders showing no disposition to throw away their pro perty. Hamburgh and Baltic letters advise a total disin clination to ship, at least to any extent, for this country; they report extension of disease in potatoes, and safes on speculation at prices very closely approximating to those lately taken on this side the channel. At this day's market there was a fair supply of wheat from the farmers, quality chiefly very fine, and such was ready sale at fully last week's rates For the little fine foreign on show there was a fair demand and sale at the reduced cur rency. The bulk of the import is inferior stale wheat, which is offered on low and attractive terms even for pig feed. Barley of all kinds must be written is. P er quarter lower, and spring corn generally may be V P chased on more f avoura b le terms than lately. One °` two nice parcels of sale barley were shown today ata moderate price. The market is nearly cleared of Indian corn, but further a rr i va l s are d a il y expected; the us e°f this artif,le is decid e dly on t h e i ncrease on this s id e the island. The more moderate arrival of linseed tends I' steady the trade, and the turn in sales is with the porters. Less business passes in cakes, and crushers al easier to deal with. We continue without imports rapeseed, and quotations are nominal; as may also be said of cakes.
