A serious accident, by which two lives were lost and several persons placed in great jeopardy, occurred. on Saturday night last on the River Thames, off the Hungerford Suspension-bridge, on the Surrey side. On the night in quastion, Mr. William Hawtrey, the elder son of one of the members of the Court of Corn , mon Council for Bread street ward, and four other gentlemen, hired a randan skiff of Mrs. Needham, • boatbuilder, at St. Paul's-wharf, for the purpose of proceeding up the river. The five persons having entered the vessel, they steered her some distance up without meeting with any accident, but on arriving near Bennett's-wharf, in the Belvidere-read, they perceived a steam-boat coming towards them at a rapid pace from - Hungerford-market. The persona in the skiff cried to the captain of the steamer to "ease" or "turn astern," but, as the speed of the larger vessel was not diminished, it was imagined that probably her crew were wing to moor her for the night in the roads. hard:by. Unfortunately, however, such was not the case, and the nose of the steamer came violently into col lision .vdth the skiff, so as to cut her gunwale in two, which caused her instantly to fill with water, and the five gentlemen, together with a lad named William Higton, a nephew of the owner of the boat, became immersed. Those who were on the steamboat, having witnesSeci the occurrence, cried out for assistance, but, owing. to the lateness of the night, none of the regular watermen at the various stairs were present to render:the sufferers any aid, The steamboat was stopped ,immediately after • the collision, and ropes with life-buoys were thrown out to those struggling in the water, but owing to the darkness of the night, they were unable to lay hold of them ; and, had it not been for the fortunate circumstance of a man named Mackaway, one of Mr. Tomlinson's, the boatbuilder's, men, passing in his wherry, and hearing the screams, the whole six persons must have pe rished. As it was, this man, at the risk of losing his life, by having his own boat pulled over, succeeded in rescuing two of the sufferers, who were in a very exhau , ted state. They were forthwith removed to the Swan 'Lavern, Hungerford-market, where every thing was done for them that the nature of their case required. Two others were also saved ; one by swimming to the shore, and the other by clinging to one of the buoys in the river. Mr. liewtrey aid Mrs. .Needham's nephew were both drowned. It is supposed that when the steamer struck the small boat they must have received serious injuries, as they were never seen to rise afterwards. The drags were instantly procured, and the river was searched for hours during the night, and also the greater portion of yesterday, but up to six o'clock last evening (Sun day) neither of the bodies had been found. The name of the steam-boat which caused the accident was the Dahlia, belonging to the London and West minster Penny Company. The captain denies that , he heard any one call, until it was too late to prevent the melancholy catastrophe. GAS-LIGET AND COKE COMPANIES. Dividend i Amount same of Company. per of Paid. Priee.

PeEcoczons CautE /IN Fn.ANc2.—The Journal de la Haute Loire relates a horrible act of cruelty committed by a child four years old on an infant of ten months. The little monster, being left alone with the infant, seized a knife, and, while it was sleeping in its cradle, cut off its nose, and inflicted several severe wounds upon its face; and, af•er thus mutilating it, covered it with a mask of wood-sshes mixed with water, in order to stanch the flow of blood and stifle the cries of the helpless little sufferer. Meanwhile the mothers of the two children, who were at work in front of their dwellings, attracted by the screams, ran to the spot, and beheld with horror the spetacle before them. The guilty urchin had made his escape, but was soon afterwards found, his hands dyed in the blood of his victim. EXHIBITION OF 1851.—The Apothecaries' Com pany of London and the Cutlers' Company of Sheffield have voted each the sum of 501. to the funds now raising for car rying into effect the Exhibition of 1831. Another English fishing-smack, the Richard Cobden, has been seized by the French cruisers for fishing out of her limits, and brought into Havre. BRITISH CLAIMS ON TUSCANY. AUSTRIAN NOTE. The Austrian Imperial Gazette publishes the fol lowing note, addressed by the President of the Council, Prince Schwartzsnbrg, to Boron Koller, the Austrian Minister in London. It is dated 14 , h of April last : " We havo been informed of the dead for in demnity which England has n.drirre4; -if to To ,• cant', relating to alleged damages stiE,:cs. by tish subjects in ciinsequenco of the repression or the revolt which brnite out in that town -in May, 1849. This demand deserves, on more than one ac count, th,. serious attention of the Imperial Govern ment. The damages are, in fact, attributed to the troops of his Majesty the Emperor, who acted as allies of the legitimate Sovereign of Tuscany. Besides, indepen deatly of this circumstance, it is natural that Austria, united as she is with Tuscany by so many intimate bonds, and by ancient and modern treaties, has a particular interest in all that concerns that country. Lastly, the pretension of Great Britain is calcu lated to raise a vestion of principles, the solution of which is of the highest importance for the independence and security of ad states which maintain friendly rela tions with Germany. The claims originate from the time is which the town of Leghorn was in full revolt against the legitimate Government. The Austrian troops, which had the mission to restore the au thority of the laws, were received with cannon-shots, and the fire against them continued from the win dows of the houses after they had carried the town. Our soldiers were obliged to penetrate by force into the houses and warehouses, in order to see whether there were arms, ammunition, or armed men concealed in them. If on this occasion, and notwithstanding the efforts of our officers to prevent disturbances, some have taken place, and if property belonging to British sub jects has been injured by the soldiers of his Majesty the Emperor while under the excitement of the combat, and of a blind and obstinate resistance, is that to be won dered at, and ought not one on the contrary to classify such misfortunes among the deplorable but inevitable consequences of war? It is upon this view, resting moreover upon generally recognised principles of right, that the Grand Ducal Government has declared that it was not bound to grant an indemnity to those of his subjects who had suffered losses during the attack upon Leghorn, when that town, which had obstinately rejected every offer of reconciliation, was coerced into making its submission. In consequence, the Tuscan Government was right in refusing to treat the English more favourably than its own subjects. It did not con sider it proper to create for English subjects a more advantageous position, in paying them sums under the name of indemnities which had not been accorded to the Tuscan subjects ; and that, so much the more, that if foreigners bad placed their property or persons in safety, they could easily have escaped the general misfortune which the inhabitants of a besieged city have to expect. The reasons which the Tuscan Government opposed to the demand of Lord Palmerston appear to us to rest on principles so elevated and so incontestable, that we beheld with pain that they had not sufficient weight to determine his Lord ship to desist from such a pretension. Far from that, the British Ambassador received orders to in sist with energy, and even to give it to be understood that if the demands were not admitted by the Tuscan si Government, ty of tdhwAet supportingohltißs heu E hro mig g as i l hlhtt a l hontaewAhdmseemmouabbuiffygparahsesi strong sea Ambassador fi tdeo of u d artlsh h aems e t bao r e eslra solution Florence, tui f it under roraenadsto. itopont oe o t bdaT h ie e iaue n n hsnt e coh c atpah : e ar s iydds: power. iroueoweepsetoori proposed en for, we cannot dissemble from ourselves that Look ing at several analagous facts, stilt more recent and generally known, the language of the English Cabinet merits the attention of ail the states which are accus tomed to accord an hospitable reception to the English. However disposed they might be to enlarge the limits of hospitality, the civilized nations of Europe would never extend them to such a point as that of granting to foreigners more favourable tie at ment than is authorised by the laws of the country to natives. To bring into question this principle of public right which we hew: re solved to maintain intact, and to claim for Englishmen established in foreign countries an exceptional and pri vileged principle, would be to force other states, al though reluctantly, to provide against pretensions so contrary to their independence. We should certainly be the first to deplore such a necessity, which it must be avowed would be in striking contrast to the tendency of our epoch, which is to multiply and animate commercial relations between nations, and to bring nearer the points of separation. Be that as it may, the first duty of every independent state is to secure its own preservation by all the means in its power. Whenever a Sovereign, in the exercise of this right, is compelled to have recourse to arms to put down a revolt, and in the civil war which ensues, the property of foreigners residing in the country is injured, it is, in my opinion, a public misfortune of which foreigners must bear their share as well as natives, and have no more claim to an exceptional indemnity than if it were founded on any other calamity. Such, reduced to the most simple expression, is the point in litiga tion as regards the Tuscan Government. We are too deeply penetrated with the gravity of the consequences attached to the question as to whether the principle shall be maintained or not, not to be convinced of the neces sity of submitting it to the British Government in the most frank manner. It is for that Government to ap preciate it in its wisdom and equity, and this apprecia tion will, we hope, bring about a speedy and satisfactory solution. You are charged, sir, to read this dispatch to the British Minister of Foreign Affairs." THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette.) THE QUEEN'S RUFFIAN ASSAILANT.—The daily papers state, as a proof of Lieutenant Pate's sanity that his pecuniary affairs are in order, and that he has always paid his rent, &c., regularly. We are in a position to disturb the inference arising from this statement. Mr. Pate was a member of the Army and Navy Club, but was expelled last year for non-payment of his subscrip tion. He was much disliked in his corps. On the em barkation of the Regiment for India he retired from the service by the sale of his commission. His age is about thirty-two. We are glad in being able to announce that Lieu tenant-General Sir Andrew Barnard, G.C.8., has quite recovered from his attack of severe indisposition. Captain Stoney, of the 28th Regiment, has been appointed Staff Officer of Pensioners for the Ballymena District. THE COMMAND-IN-CHIEF IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. —We hear froom good authority that Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., G.C.8., will very shortly retire from the Command-in-Chief in the Mediterranean. It is not certain who will be the Gallant Officer's successor, but with the name of Rear-Admiral Dundas we have heard that of Vice Admiral Sir Thea_las Cochrane, K.C.8., as one likely to be selected for this important and responsible command. THE GREER GOVERNMENT AND DON PACIFIC Is CLAIMS.—We understand that pending a reference to the Portuguese Government as to the validity of Don Paci fico's claims on that country, 20,000 dol!ars had beeu de posited on board H.M.S. Ganges, at Salamis Bay. COMMISSARIAT.— We are: extremely glad to find that Deputy Commissary-General William base Grieg, ho has been some length of time past suffering severely from cataract, was recently and successfully operated on by Dr. Geo. James Guthrie, and that the sight of the eye is com pletely restored. Mr. Greig has been upwards 0136 rears in the army; and in cou%iderution of his long and faithful services, received his promotion to Deputy Commissary- General at the commencement of the present year. We have heard so much of the active and business-like habits, as well as of the very gentlemanly tone in which this officer conducts the duties of the department, that we trust he may not be allowed long to remain upon halt pay, but that the services of so valuable a person wiil shortly be made available to the public. Mr. Greig un derwent an operation for cataract whilst recently serv ing in Canada, but the result of which was by no means successful. PORTSM )lITH, JUNE 28.—T0-day being the anniver sary of the coronation of her Majesty was celebrated at this port. Flags were hoisted on all the Government offices and many private establishments —at the King's Rooms, the pier-heads, Sac, At noon royal salutes were tired by her Majesty's ships in port and at the platfirm battery. The artisans in the dockyard had a holiday, as well as the public—all shops being closed, and busi ness entirely suspended in honour of the day. On the arrival of the daily journals announcing the dastardly attack upon the Queen, it is difficult to say whether pleasure or indignation most pervad,d the public mind —indignation at the cowardly attack and outrage, or pleasure at the escape of her Majesty from serious injury. THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTIONS. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 27.—A practical seaman on board one of the ships thus writes on the respective qualities of the squadron. Left Lisbon on the 29th of May, but did not get a fair trial until the 3d of June, when they started at 10 30 A.M. with a fine, but not a fresh breeze. While it continued the Arethusa in one hour weathered the Phaeton one mile, Thetis one and a half, and Leander two, the Indefatigable was an immense way behind; the rear was brought up by the Arrogant. At 1 P.M. bresza fell light and so continued until 2, Pheaton headed Aretbusa considerably, but did not weather her ; both coutined to head and weather the others till 3, when the breeze grew stronger, and . Arethusa began to head and weather Phae ton till 4 P.M., when trial ceased. Phaeton and Arethusa were two miles from Thetis, two and a half Leander, four and a half Indefatigable, six Arrogant. Had the (royal) breeze continued, Arethusa would have headed Phaeton considerably. The Indefatigable is far from a weatherly ship in a single reef down to a royal breeze; she is a noble looking vessel. The will best all except the Phaeton, and that only when the wind is very li:fht. The Indefatigable and the Arethusa are the most etlicient men-A . -war in the squadron; the Phaeton is more like a yacht than a man-of-war. On the Gth of June the rate of sailing was tried before the wine. After seven hours' trial Arethusa beat Phae ton 300 yards; Leander, 2,800; Indefatigable, 3,000; Thetis, 3,500. The Arethusa was going eight knots; and on the Bth of June, on a wind, with a stiff royal breeze, Phaeton fire t. Arethusa second; others so far astern could not be placed. The Commodore appears to havo a partiality far the Phaeton, which awls best in smooth water and light winds, when the trials are said to be principally made. The Arethusa Was not allowed to carry royals ur flying jib when she and the Indefatigable could have done se,. Phaeton won't carry canvas and Arethusa must not. Phs, ton contrary to orders, trims, has her guns in, un bends both bower and sheet cables, grid on the Bth of June, just as Arethusa was coming up to her, hand over fist, up goes a signal to cease trial two hours beture the usual time. It is not known when the cruise will be over; there is no hope of anything decisive taking place until all are allowed to carry what canvas they like and rvaat canvas they can; fur if the Phaeton won't carry it, no reason why others should not. The Strotanoli, with the Pike in tow, arrived in the Slan'l on Wednesday afternoon from Portsmouth. The royal yacht Victoria and Albert. in company t;i the Stromboli, sailed at 8 30 rji. on Wednesday fur and Gibraltar. f'ne Pike has gone up harbour as a reserved steamer.

CHATHAM, JUNE 28.—The Magicienne steam-sloop, fitting for Se 4, was put out of dock on the 25th inst., and the following day a new mainmast was put on board, and she is now proceeding with her internal fittings, &c. The Cumberland, 70 guns, was taken into dock on Thursday, the 27th inst., to be examined and reported upon, and the next spring-tides she will be floated out, as it is understood, for the purpose of being masted. The Aid naval lighter is having a complete refit and painting. The whole of the Royal Dockyard Brigade assembled on their parade-ground at the end of theyard on the even lag of the 24th instant, and were most minutely inspected by the Captain-Superintendent, Captain Peter Richards, C. 8., the Colonel of the Brigade, who expressed his en tire approbation of the general appearance and bearing of the men. After the inspection the brigade was played out of the yard in marching order by the band of the battalion. Detachments of invalids arrived yesterday at Fort Pitt for medical examination, previous to their discharge on pensions, viz., nine privates of the 3d Dragoon Guards, and five privates of the 90th Light Infan'ry, from Man chester, in charge of two sergeants. Five of the Dra goons and roar men of the 90th were ordered into hos pital. There also arrived eight privates and one ser geant of the 13th Light Dragoons from Edinburgh, and eight privates and one sergeant-major of the 21st Fusi li..rs from Glasgow, with five privates and one sergeant of the 26th Regiment. Very few of the latter corps were for hospital, the men being mostly for length of service. INSURANCE C same of Company. Albion .. .. •• .. • • •• • . Alliance Brit. and For.

Amongst the propositions established by the re cent inquiries of the Lords' Committee into the Supply and Consumption of Beer was the re markable fact, that warm weather did not so much quicken the draught within the beer-house as it in creased the demand for the liquor carried off the premises. Such seasons as we are now enjoying suggest very naturally to the artisan or the la bourer a little anticipation of his afternoon's allow ance, and men, while still foll Owing their occupa tions, are compelled to dispatch their orders for a little beer. This was precisely the portion of the trade which the Acts for the sale of beer were de signed to encourage, although it appears from the evidence received by the Committee not only that large provision is often made for gatherings on the premises, but that magistrates are now inclined even to exact some such accommodation in the house to be li censed. Some of the statistics disclosed by the examina tions are highly interesting. The calling of a beerseller has two branches, one administered at the bar of the house, and the other conducted in a lobby dedicated to the "bottle and jug department," as usually notified by a brass plate on the door. The utensil employed for the carriage of the beer typifies not only the peculiar wants of the purchaser, but his distance from the source of supply. If he lives close at hand he sends for his drink in a jug, if at some distance he uses a bottle, by which the beer is more readily carried, or, if need be, more securely stored away for the morrow. In " good neigh bourhoods," such as, in the estimation of the deponents, were the west end of the Com mercial-road and the streets converging upon Kennington-cross, business in this way is very brisk and creditable. "I do a grea t d ea l in bottles," said one witness, "it is a very respectable neigh bourhood. If I were to suffer anybody, to come into my house and smoke a pipe I should lose my custom." In fact, the deponent could have stood the established test of respectability, for he kept, not exactly a gig, but a light cart and horse, by which he " took out" to the " families" round. Few families living upon " floors" or in lodgings have accommodation for keeping their own beer, and they are necessarily, therefore, the regular cus tomers of some beerhou4e, besides which, the greater freshness of the article insured by the quick draught maintained in a popular house of call induces many people of easier circumstances to resort to the same quarters for supply. The question is therefore whether these very reasonable require ments have not been substantially satisfied by the establishment of beerhouses as distinguished from the old inns, and we are bound to confess that our opinions tend towards an affirmative reply. It seems clear that the majority of applicants in these cases do carry their eustom rather to beershops than public•houses, and, indeed, the latter establishments could never, under the con ditions at present affecting their licences, be main tained in sufficient numbers to bring a cheap and wholesome beverage to every man's door. In the next place, it is admitted by common consent that there are beershops which more than realise the utmost expectations of those who advocated their in stitution; in fact, it appears by the evidence that there is room for such a house in almost every dis trict. A "good neighbourhood" creates its own de mand for these supplies. The beer of the resident families is almost wholly brought from the shop, which keeps matters lively in the "jug department ;" and, besides this, the "refreshment-room" of the establishment serves as a local Athenosum to the social or inquiring spirits of the district. "All parties,' said a witness, "from the working men upwards, fre quent my house. Jo u r neymen wor k men come in, bringing their bread and cheese, and they sit down and take their beer; then the tradesmen come, and see the daily papers at eleven o'clock in the morning, and in the afternoon and evening. We take in three papers a day." This deponent emphatically. testified to the select ness an d respectability of his own and similar establishments, and, though doubtless an in terested witness, yet there was reason in his argu ment that his customers knew each other, and that if they were disturbed by any disorderly characters they , would infallibly carry their patronage elsewhere. Three or four specimens of such houses were intro duced to the notice of the Committee, and it seems to us that the accommodat i on thus suppl i ed is of a kind which could not have been readily furnished by the old public-houses. If, as the proverb goes, there are good and bad in all trades, it is, of course, not very likely that beerselling should command any favourable exemption from the rule ; but we are not quite disposed to conclude that the censures of their Lordships on these shops are entirely warranted either by the extent of the inquiries instituted, or by the tendency of the testimonies given. As Mr. Ben jamin Bouch observed in a touching appeal to the Peers of England—" If you was going to weed an onion bed you wouldn't sweep away everything." This argumentum ad komines had, perhaps, some weight, for their Lordships put on record th e c l a i ms to considerati on established by certain metropolitan houses, though the general impression of the Com mittee was clearly against the calling. We du not, however, well see how the accommodation to which the public is now habituated can ever be maintained if material restrictions are placed upon this trade, or if beer and spirits are included in the same category. At the same time, we have no desire to render ardent spirits as accessible as beer, though a competent wit ness suggested a little relaxation in this respect, on the ground that persons requiring both beer and spirits would carry t h e i r jugs to the spirit-shop or public-house, and provide themselves with both :articles at the same moment. Lord Ashley r will be pained to hear that " most people like a little drop of spirits ; in particular of a Sunday, because it is a leisure day." " Probably all our customers," continu'd the witness, drink spirits occasionally, and ao we lose the sale of our beer on a Sunday, because they go to come other house for it. They do not becalm! intoxicated. The rich like their wine, " and the poor their drop of gin." The reader mu-t understand that these retail beer licences exclude the privilege of selling the article by wholesale, though the limits, it must be owned, are calculated with con siderable liberality—four and a half gallons being the quantity which may be served in a retail way across the counter. That this is a handsome figure may be inferred from the testimony of Mr. Bouch, who once only, during the whole of his unparalleled experience, had a customer who demanded and earried off the full legal amount, whether in his jug or under his belt is not specified i❑ the depositions. On the whole subject, we must add, that though the suggestions of the report are not, in the main, unreasonably conceived, they indicate conclusions upon the general character of the trade which we hardly think are sustained by the evidence; and we repeat our hope that, in any legislation upon the subject, the wants of the population at large may be vigilantly cared for. No return to the monopolies of the old system will ever be endured. That abuses exist is probable enough, nor are we prepared to deny that some of the suggested regulations appear well calculated to check them ; but there is this difficulty in the case, that in proportion as the condi tions of beer licences are assimilated to those of regular publicans our steps are retraced towards that system which was, with such good reason, abandoned for ever. It is not, however, too much to expect that the wisdon and justice of the Legislature may find a means between the two extreme courses of laxity and restriction.—Times. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there were two public sales of Mauritius Sugar, consisting of 5,603 bags 25 casks; they went off with fair spirit at full terms, good yellow at 37s to 38s, low to good mid 34s 6d to 36s 6d, mid to fine brown 303 to 34s 6d, inferior 25s 6d to 295, one lot very low dark 225; refining kinds realised 35s to 38s. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon a good demand existed for Bengal sugar, and at publics sale 568 bags sold at full prices, white Benares 38s to 403 63, damp and washed, 37s 6d to 405. FORElGN.—Previous rates are supported for duty paid parcels, and none has been submitted to public sale this week. The export demand has been large for parcels in bond, and refiners have been buyers to a fair extent, whilst the rates paid are equal to this day week, with firmness on the part of holders, and supplies less plen tiful. By private treaty 10,000 chests Havannah have been sold at 18s to 22s per cwt, besides two cargoes of yellow the prices of which are not allowed to transpire, and 5,000 bags brown Manilla at 17s 3d to 17s 6d per cwt.

TEA.—A further increase has taken place in the de mand for Green, and large parcels have been sold by private treaty ; the rates obtained are Id to 2d per lb above those of last week for common Hyson, Imperial, and Gunpowder ; and the better kinds have rea lised a small advance. For other sorts of Green Tea the tendency is to advance. Scented and Pekoe kinds are more in request, and orders cannot generally be executed at late rates. Fer common Congou the home trade demand continues lively, and several export orders have:been completed; there is still only a limited supply, prices keep on the advance, and rule at lOid to 104 d per lb. The better sorts sell more freely, and at stiffer rates; medium realised 'lid to Is OP, and other sorts is ld to is 8d per lb.

Of Tois-les-Mois 140 pkgs were partly disposed of at 3d, and at 2d per lb for damaged. SPICES.—There is scarcely any variation to notice in the value of inferior sorts of Jamaica Ginger this week, but a further reduction has taken place for the better kinds.

Of Demerara several parcels have been sold at 2s to 2s 3d for 30 to 40 per cent over prod. Leeward Island has been in good de mand at is 44 to is 4id proof, and at these rates there are not generally sellers. East India is at is 3d to Is 3i-d proof. I❑ Brandy the sales made exceed those of last week, and the market has a firm aspect. The rates paid for Cognac b.-st brands of the vintaio of 1847 are 5s 2d to 5s 4d; 1848 ditto, 4s 6d t) 4a 84; 1849 ditto, 4s 54 to 4s 74, and inferior sorts 2s 8d to 4s 2d per gal lon, but the older sorts met with most attention.

LIVERPOOL, JUNE 29.—The Corn-Exchange yester day morning was thinly attended, and the business tr.nsacted was only limited. Holders of wheat and flour continue firm, and will not yield in price; the millers, however, take merely what suits their immediate wants. Prime mulling oats are scarce, and id per bushel delver than on Tuesday. Oatmeal was without alteration. Grinding barley, peas, and Egyptiaa beans brought full prices. Yellow Indian corn gave way 6d per quarter, but the value of white was supported. American yellow corn was sold at 27s 6d per 4801 b. The weather con tinues dry and hot, and some rain will soon be very welcome to the farmer. No change in prices to-day. MANCHESTER, JUNE 29.—We have to report another week of favourable weather for the growing crops, and during the same period the tone of the flour trade has not undergone the .slightest change, the demand for choice fresh qualities, although only moderate, having continued fully equal to the supply. For oatmeal there has been somewhat less inquiry; but for prime oats, which are s carc e,.the previous currency was maintained. Our market this morning was rather l angu id . In the value of wheat, however, no alteration was apparent, whilst for fresh made flour ho lders demand e d f ully pre vious rates, w hi c h were obtained in the sales effected. Oats must be noted the turn cheaper, and oatmeal, un less of prime quality, was only saleable on slightly lower term s. COLCHESTER, JUNE 29.—The markets of this district have been scantily supplied during th e wee k, ow i ng in a great degree to the farmers being engaged in the hay harvest, for which the weather is peculiarly favourable, and a large breadth of grass has already been hayed and carted in excellent order. Last week's prices of corn have, therefore, been well sustained, and in som e cases an advance has ' taken place. In this market to-day a slight advance was given for the best samples, and for other sorts the trade was firm. On Frida y , at Chelmsford, wheat o f good quality rea li se d Is per quarter more, arid the rate of the best white wheat was well established at 4‘,As ; red was 34s to 41s. Barley was quoted at 235 to 265; and white peas, at 26s to 28s. In the markets of Suffolk generally late rates have been well sustained throughout the week. Deasy-, JUNE 28.—Wheat--The supply was rat h er scanty, and the demand increased ; to purchase best qualiti es I s per quarter more money had to be submitted to, best white making 43s u p to 45e per quarter; flour, 30 s to 33 ' per sack. Barley was little asked for, and prices cannot be quoted dearer. Oats were of ready sale, at is more money, best reaching 21s per quarter; good farmers feed, 17s per quarter. Beans— Best for splitting, 28s per quarter; ordinary ditto, 245 per quarter. Peas—Boilers, 2Ss to 30s per quarter ; grays a maples, 2ss to 28s per quarter. Seeds as last week.

MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.) Although the share market has not appeared partice larly active during the week, still there has been 0 average amount of business transacted, and an inquill for shares in several of the leading mines is still maie:, tained. At the Trehane meeting a dividend of 141" share was declared, carrying to the credit of next i' count 4041. At the West Caradon meeting the email: for March ansl April showed a profit of 1,1204 whiel added to balance from last ac count, al l owed a dividee4 of 24 105. per share, carrying t o cre di t 2,0051.

At the G onamena meet i ng a balance of 44/, 10 agep~: found in favou r o f t h e a d venturers. From the report we find the mine has very considerably impro ve and is likely now to pay her way. At the TregorclT meeting the balan ce - s h eet s h owed 2724 against the IR: venturers, with other liabilities before the next accoUD amounting to 0061., when a call of 21. per share tg li f made.
