SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1822. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. During this week the arrivals in Grain in the port of London amount to 6,200 quarters of Wheat, 3,()00 quarters of Barley, 6,000 quarters of Oats, with 8,700 sacks of Flour; for Wheat there is scarcely any demand. The millers buy a few picked samples at Monday's prices, but sales of any other description cannot be effected, except at a farther depression in price. There is little Malting Barley on sale, and such is worth 30s. perhaps 31s. per qr. ; only needy Maltsters, how Over, submit to such high prices. The Distillers do not increase their stocks, and none of the opulent Maltsters are yet at work. The town de mand for Oats is equal to the very scanty supply, and their late prices are fully maintained. Flour is exceedingly heavy, and a farther decline ought to take place in this article, if no advance occurs in Wheat. The price,of Bread is maintained by the Bakers at 2d. a pound, being at the rate of upwards of 455. a sack for the average price of flour. In Mincing-lane, the Plantation Sugar Market this week has been very firm, and the prices are rather dearer. The sales exceed 3,000 hhds. about 800 of which have been taken on spe culation. The certainty that this year's importation will be considerably under that of last season, is already - sensibly felt in the market, and prices have the appearance of at least main taining their present rates, if an advance does not take place. The latter, however, is generally expected. Fine this week has been sold at 70s. a 765.; good at 64. a 685.; middling at 58s. to 635.; and brdwn at 51s. a 565. per cwt. Foreign Sugars are very steady, but the supplies at market are extremely small. The Government Contract for Rtm has made the holders rather more firm, but no sales of any consequence have been effected. Coffees are rather dearer. Considerable parcels of good and fine middling Jamaicas have been brought forward, And sold readily at 133 a 140. Good . and fine ordinary descriptions may safely be reckoned 2s. a 3s. dearer than last week. Pimento is rather lower.' Pine quality, howevez, is still worth 94d. a 941. per - lb. _ _ Consols for the Settlement this month opened at Bla. and be cdming more in demand, they advanced to 81i, and finally closed at this latter price. So little business is now however done at the Stock Exchange, that souse of the great jobbers and - brokers in the .EngliSh funds have applied to the Com mittee of that establishment to appropnate a part of their Exchange, hlready too much crowded, for transacting the business of the Foreign Securities. Thus the importance of the transactions in the Foreign Loans has at length forced itself on the attention of Gentlemen who did not perceive at first the immense benefits which they would bestow on the British nation. In a country where the most perfect freedom should be given to commerce, it is impossible to perceive what benefit the Foreign 'Brokers could receive from removing the transactions in the Foreign Funds from the Royal to the Stock ExChange. On the former their operations attract the universal attention of the public, whilst the transfers in- the English Funds-are only known by repl?rt; On the Royal Exchange, any person may do his own business in them, but if they be re moved to the Stock Exchange, brokers must be eniployed, and those chiefly interested would know • little of ' their opera tions. By this removal it would be no difficult matter, as in the case of the English funds, to , form Juntos of Bulls and Bears in the different descriptions of Foreign Stocks, and to play on the public as might best suit the views of either party. Indeed the facility which the smallness of the amount of the foreign securities would afford to the capitalist of raising or depressing any of them, as it might suit his speculation, were the business in them confined to the Stock Exchange, would deter any, except subscribers, from .having any transac= tions in them.. The proprietors of the. Stock Exchange". have made a monopoly of the. British Funds, for nobody can respec tably deal in them unless he be admitted a subscriber. The Gentlemen who deal in the Foreign Securities have on the Royal Exchange made all their transactions public, and consequently challenged inquiry into the correctness of their conduct. A. great increase of public patronage has been bestowed on them, which they never would have enjoyed - had they been confined to' a building into which the public had no admission. Very few improprieties have yet taken place in any of their transactions ; but by, a proper understanding with the Gresham Committee, the names of those who have dishonoured their' characters might be posted on a black pillar on the Royal Exchange, and being thus held up, the public would beware of dealing with them. This evil is, however, more fanciful than real. Few will sell without knowing something of the' buyer, and to avoid even the appearance of secresy will be far more important to the general interest, than any minor grievances which can possibly result from the admission of a few improper characters to their trans actions. Besides, the Bonds themselves are handed over, and not transferred into a book, as in the case of the business of the English Funds, and it would consequently be very difficult to carry on' the transactions in the Foreign Securities in any private .building. • An immense deal of business has been done this day in every description of Foreign Securities, amounting to many millions,—The Spanish Old Bonds for Cash have again ad vanced to 79, and for time they have been done at NI. The New Bonds have also risen fully Three per Cent. having been done at 691 for the 15th current. The increasing confidence which Capitalists repose in the stability of the Liberal Govern ment of Spain, and a credited rumour that the New - Spanish 'Loan is to be under the powerful patronage of illr. ROTHS. tkILD, create the idea,of a still further advance. The New RUssian Loan is also much inquired after, and the prices dearer. Colombian Bonds_ have risen Three per Cent. The CongreSs of this rising State has been summoned to assemble next Janu ary, at Santa F 6 de Bogota, and their approval of the PRESI DENT'S Contract of this Loan cannot be doubted. The general prices of Foreign Stocks are as follow : . French * Five per Cents. Dividend from 22d March, 92 50. Spanish * Five per Cent. of 1820, Dividend from Ist May, 9 . Ditto Five per Cent. Bonds of 1321 (sterling), Dividend from Ist May, 661 4 3 -a 68 9 84. Russian * Six per Cents. Dividend from Ist July, 82. Ditto * Five per Cents. (metal].) Div. from Ist Sept. 82.

TIIE CHILTERN HUNDREDS.—The Chiltern Hundreds, so frequently ►mentioned as being ac cepted by Members of the House of Commons, when they 'wish to vacate their seats, are divi sions of counties made by King ALFRED, and now annexed to the Crown, although they still retain their peculiar Courts. The stewards of these Courts are appointed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, and their salaries are twenty shil lings per annum. This sum, however, small as it is, being derived .from an office under the Crown, is sufficient to disqualify any person who accepts it, from retaining his, seat, unless re-elected. Accepting the stewardship of the Chiltern Hun. dreds, is, therefore, merely a formal manne r of resigning a seat when a Mernher wishes to retire from Parliament, FOR SCOTLAND.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, an in quisition was taken before Join; WRIGHT UNWIN, Esq. one of the Coroners for Middlesex, at the sign of the Rose an'd Crown, in Goswell-street, on view of George Clifford, aged 13, who destroyed himself under the following singular circum stances : The first witness, Mr. Bonnel Williams, a surgeon, deposed to the cause of the boy's death, which he said was evidently oc casioned by hanging. All the means of resuscitation were used for nearly two hours without effect. He had no previous knowledge of the deceased. Mrs. Ann Bocock sworn.—l am a housekeeper to Mr. W. Wase. On Wednesday last between one and two o'clock, I had occasion to go into the cellar for some water, when I saw the deceased twisted tight in the jack towel, and in a kneeling, posture ; 1 was terribly alarmed, and shrieked out for assist ance, when my master and one of his men came down stairs. The deceased was released from the towel by ,my master after much difficulty. I then went up stairs and tan for medical as sistance. 'The deceased was between 13 and 14 years of age. I have heard he had often before put his head in the towel, and twisted himself round till he was quite giddy, but I cannot state this on my own authority. CORONER.—Have you any reason to suspect that the de ceased intended his destruction ? Witness.—Certainly I have not, I think it was done acci. dentally. lle must have twisted himself round till he was senseless, and so lost his life. Mr. W. Wase sworn.—l am a butcher carrying on business at No. <149, Goswell-street ; the deceased was my servant, and had been in my employ about 18 months. On hearing the screams of the last witness I ran down stairs, and found the deceased in the cellar with his head in the towel, which was twisted very tight round his neck. He was lying with his face towards the ground. He was'quite dead and cold. The deceased was often in the habit of twisting his head in the towel, and had often been warned against it. CORONER.—Had you any reason to believe that he meant to commit suicide ?—Witness replied in the negative. John Kinnard, servant to last witness, sworn.—l went into the cellar with my master, who took the deceased out of the towel. He was on his knees, with his hands hanging down. His head was in the towel, which was twisted very, tight round his neck. My master could not release him without taking the towel off the-rail. The deceased had been missing about half an hour. lie was quite . dead when he was found. The de ceased had been in the habit of twisting his head in the towel before in a playful manner, and I had often told him he would do it once too often. _ . The CORONER, in addressing the Jury, observed, that it plainly appeared the deceased was in the habit of trying experi ments of this description, and it was quite evident that he did not contemplate suicide. The Jury consulted for some time, and returned a verdict— " That the dec t eased strangled himself by accident, and not with the intent to commit suicide. r for his i s trate ehigh, l Y rO`fi prisoner fiftefn se ce r f,, own. r. 3dWd,: la "" ma tter, ogether, Was de' t choose ,Ir• V' but to , so t to ortunitY y SVOtila to the 1. o f tile e l 3t C" $teWAY' 15 -1 ,,y 111:94 09 1.0 li n e 0' 00 13al 01- 044 5 1 )°" t ,1 o r , co e to seri‘'et, I , u agoe" rli" ' th e oidO P te t O e I ' t zachoi 700 t. or f 1 0, 1 5 114 o,Yoior* pf a Al - oce ,,actoc t he ti)l - . v 4 _ t , - lk:; -.lr „,,, , ,, tti.z.ti 4 1 ; N..* A ... ~ • , -- • Ne ,ft y ' j. ...16. ir . \ :s. THE ARMY. The 15th (or York East Riding) Regiment of. Pout (Lieutenant-General Sir M. DISNEY, ICC:I3. Colonel) has received orders, on its. arrival at Manchester, to continue its march in two divi-. sions to Liverpool, and embark for Dublin, as follows, viz.:— The first division, consisting of four companies and head quarters, is ordered to arrive at Warrington on the 12th,.t0 halt the 13t14 and to proCeed to Liverpool and embark, on the 14th instant. The second division, Comprising four companies, is ordered to arrive at Warrington on the 19th, to halt on the 20th, and to march to Liverpool and embark, on the 21st instant. A detachment belonging to the 75th (the Royal Tiger, super scribed India—Seringapatam) Regiment of Foot (General Sir R. Abercromby, G.C.8., Colonel), consisting of Brigade Major Stewart and sixteen men, are ordered to embark in the John Richard transport, on her arrival at Cowes, for Gibraltar, toge ther with a detachment from the 01th (or 2dStaffordshire) Regi ment of Foot (Major-General Sir W.

Great reductions are taking place in the military departments of Scotland. The clerks in the Adjutant-General's Office are reduced, and we understand that it is expected that Lord Ro bert Ker, with the assistance of one clerk, with a salary of half-a-crown a day, will be able to undertake the business of this department. A Cavalry Corps, under the command of a distinguished Nobleman, is in contemplation to be raised on a similar plin to the Light Horse 'Volunteers, to be composed of Gentlemen residing at the West-end of the town, the Officers to be chosen by ballot, to be called the West London Light Horse. Several Gentlemen have expressed their intention of joining ; and a meeting i will be held shortly, for the signatures of such Gentle men as intend becoming members, &c. TRIAL FOR MUTINY IN THE WEST INDIES. At a Regimental Court Martial, holden at Chapelton, Ja maica, on the sth of July last, by order of Colonel Howell, private Frederic Miller, of the 4th battalion company pf the Clarendon regiment, was tried on the following charges, pre ferred against him by Captain Charles Ayrey, of the same company :- Ist. For disobedience of orders at muster of the Bth of June la , t, at Lime Savannah, in violation of the 23d clause of the Militia Law. 2d. For treating in a rude contemptuous mannerhis superior officers at the muster of the Bth of June last, at Lime Savan nah, in violation of the 29th clause of the Militia Law. 3d.

For being drunk at the roll-call of the said company, at Muster on the Bth of June last, at Lime Savannah, in violation of the 29th clause of the militia law. - The Court being duly sworn,, and the charges read, the pri soner pleaded guilty, threw himself on the mercy of the Court, and handed the following letter to the President : • " Clarendon, July 5, 1822. " Mr. President, and Members of this Honourable Court -1 am extremely sorry, sorry beyond expression, for having in an unguarded moment, *hen liquor was operating in my head, and overcome by passion, acted rash and inconsistently ; and I must beg to say, that with respect to my striking Lieutenant Benger, it is a circumstance entirely out of myrecollection, Lieut. Benger being a . gentleman I have always had the greatest respect for, both in his public as well as private capacity : but if such was the case, 1 humbly entreat his forgiveness. I thefefore setup no defence, but throw - myself on your mercy and clemency. " I remain, Mr. President, and Members of this " Honourable Court, your very obedient servant, " FREDLRICK MILLER. " To the President and Members of the Court Martial, Chapelton." The PREAID - ENT, after some consultation, addressed the prisoner as " Ftpderick Miller—The Court, after due consideration, and fully weighing the charges exhibited against you, and in con sequence of your having pleaded guilty, and thrown yourself on the mercy of the Court, do sentence you to pay the mitigated fine of twenty-six pounds, and to be and stand committed till such fine he paid."
