LOSS OF LIFE IN TUB NORTII.---The John o' Groat Journal, of Friday last, contains a melancholy catalogue of the loss of life on the northern coast during the last month, the total number being 36—namely, in the county of Caithness, 14 ; in Orkney, 14 ; and in Zet , land, 8. Of these, 28 were drowned in consequence of - the wreck of boats in which they were either hands or passengers. STAMPS ON BELLS OF EXCLIANGE.—Mr. Wyld, M.P., has just procured a return (printed on Friday) of the amount of duties received in the several years be ' tween 1810 and 1846, both inclusive, fir stamps on bills of exchange, or promissory-notes, and bank-notes. The largest amount of duty was paid in the year 1818, when it amounted to 845,7491. 15s. ; and the smallest in 1832, when it was 545,8011. 3s. ld. In the last six years (from 1841 to 1846, inclusive) the duties amounted to 660,1531. 17c, 589,394/. 17s. 6d., 564,4431. 95., 576,729/. Bs. 41, 55 8, 5 3 61 . Bs. 9d., and in 1846, 571,8424 10s. I d. MYSTERIOUS DEATlL—Yesterday Mr. William Payne, the City Coroner, resumed, at the Bricklayers' Arms, Earl street, Blaekfriars, the adjourned inquiry respecting the death of Airs. Eupheme Scott, aged 72. Elizabeth Scott said that the deceased was her mother. She lived pith her son, who kept the above house. 0:1 Christmas -eve the house was closed at twelve o'clock, and about two o'clock the deceased left for the purpose of [going up stairs to bed. Witness noticed her until she got upon the first landing. Shortly after that time witness went to bed, and she neither heard or saw anything of the deeeased from that period until eight o'clock on Christmas morning, when she found her lying on her right side in the prssage at the foot of the stairs. She was dressed, and appeared to be in a fit. Witness tried to bring her round by sprinkling water upon her face, but she was unable. Informed her brother, who was in bed asleep, of the state her mother was in. He got up and sent for a surgeon. Robert Scott corro borated the above evidence. Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon, said that he Was called in to see the deceased on Christ mas-day. The cause of death was concussion of the brain, which must have been caused by some external violence, inflicted with a flat surface. The Coroner, having summed up, the jury, after consulting, returned a verdict, "That the deceased died from concussion of the brain, caused by a blow on the right temple, but how occasioned there was not sufficient evidence to prove." A CHRISTMAS BARGAIN.—Last week a labourer, after his hard week's toil, entered a hostelry at Wood ham Mortimer, and, warmed by a pint of XX, began in the pride of his heart to exhibit his wealth, which con sisted of two half-sovereigns, snugly secured in a tobacco box. The host, and a brother boniface who was there quaffing a neighbourly glass, eyed the treasure, snd having caught the complaint of joking—an epidemic that commits sad ravages about Christmas—bid him a sovereign for the lot, calculating upon the bird's-eye and box as their legal profit. The bid was at first refused, but pressed again later in the evening. The bargain was struck, the money paid, and the box handed over ; but lo! in the interval the gold had been transmuted into silver. John, with an adroitness for which his cus tomers gave him not credit, had substituted a shilling and a sixpence; and it is needless to say he enjoys the joke amazingly—for if there were returns in the box there were none in the bargain—while the merry laugh that goes round the vale is worth all the money in these dull times.—Essex Herald.

HOW TO BECOME A JUDGE OF PICTURES.-- N Sposin' its pictures that's on the carpet, wait till you hear the name of the painter. If its Rubens, or any o' them old boys, praise. for its agin the law to doubt them; but if its a new man, and the company ain't most especial judges, criticise. A leetle out o' keeping, says you, be don't use his grays enough nor glaze down well; that shudder wants depth; general effect is good, though parts ain't; those eyebrows are heavy enough for stucco, says you, and other unmeaning terms like those. It will pass, I tell you, your opinion will be t h ought g reat. Them that judged the cartoons !at Westminster Ball knew plagay little more nor that. But if this is a por trait of the lady of the house hangin' up, or its at all like enough to make it out, stop—gaze on it—walk back — close your fingers like a spy glass, and look through 'em amazed like—enchanted—chained to the spot. Then utter, unconscious like, That's a most beautiful pictur, by heavens! that's a speakin' portrait. It's well painted too; but whoever the artist is he is an unprincipled man.' Good gracious!' she'll say, how so?' Cause, madam, he has not done you justice.' "—Sam Slick. SHEFFIELD NEW BARRACKS.—We understand that the tender of Messrs. Harrison and Hoyle, of Chester, for the building of the new barracks in this town, has been accepted by the Board of Ordnance. It is rumoured that the amount of their tender was about 19,0001. We believe there were eleven tenders sent in, the lowest of 7,oool.—Sheffield Times. which was about 17,000/., whilst the highest was about 24,0001. —only correspondent of Douglas y lE a Lu d i t ff N e G r . ef A e o f Jerrold's Newspaper says:—" It may not be generally known to the public that, in an humble lodging in the western suburbs of London, obscure and unknown, re sides the grandson and legitimate offspring of the author of " Tom Jones."

His Serene Highness Prince Lowenstein, Via— count and Viscountess Palmerston, Lord and Lady Beauvale, the Marchioness of Clanricarde and Lady Emily de Burgh, and the Earl and Countess Granville closed their visit on Monday, and departed for town. . Lord Forester and Lord Edward Howard left on Satur day, the former for Leicestershire, and Lord Edward for Arundel Castle. Baroness de Clifford and the Hon. Miss Russell went on Monday to the family seat in Lei cestershire. Viscount and Viscountess Jocelyn, on Monday, left for East Lodge, Brighton. His Excellency the Prussian Minister and Madame Bunsen arrived from town on Monday; and a large party assembled there this week. Lord and Lady John Russell intend to pro long their visit at the Abbey about ten days longer. Lord Glenelg and the other members of the family are remaining until the close of the week. The Right Hon. the Speaker of the House of Commons has appointed the [lon. George Waldegrave, youngest son of Earl W aldegrave, assistant librarian of the House of Commons, in the room of Mr. T. Erskine May, who has accepted the office of - taxing master of private SUGAR.—The arrivals of colonial this year have been 34,000, and of Foreign 29,000 tons mere than in the previous one; of the former the stock is 23,700, and of the latter 6,500 greater. Of all kinds the quantity taken for home consumption exceeds that of 1846 up to this time by 11,700, whilst there is an excess in the export deliveries of 14,200 tons. Prices exhibit the following decline:—West India 9s to 10s, Bengal and Madras 108 to 12s, Mauritius 9s to 1 ls, Foreign East India 3s to Bs, and Foreign 5s to 8s per cwt., whilst the losses that merchants are yet sustaining upon the importation are heavy. On Wed nesday and Thursday last a good demand was experi enced for West India, stiffer rates were paid fur the 950 hhds and tierces that found buyers; brown realised 33s to 34s 6d, yellow 35s to 455. and grey 343 to 39s per cwt. The market has been closed since Thursday, and will remain so until Tuesday next. REFINED.—The town and country demand has been active for all descriptions of Refined goods since we last wrote, and quotations may be considered fully equal to those previously current, and in some eases above. For Wet Lumps there is an extensive demand, prices are firm at 51s to 51s 6d for low and middling, and at 52s to 63s per cwt for good and fine quality. There is a difference of not more than 19s per cwt between the value of standard lumps and fair working sugars. Pieces have been much inquired after--r Ls, ui mon at 35s t o 37 5, m id dling 38s to 40s, g ood 41s 11 t o and fine at 44 s t o 47 5. Th ere i s , however, " Liu but plen tiful supply.

Purchases to a fair extent were made in Wet Lumps at 28s to 295, and the stcck is yet small. In Dutch Crushed Sugar several sales have been made, but at moderate rates. Belgian has been in demand to a fair extent from 25, 6d to 29s for common to fine quality. The demand for loaves made here under bond has been good for exportation, acd prices tend upwards, the suppiits being small, whilbt there are several orders unexecuted. MTAIIRITIIIS.—There is firmness on thePaiTotholders, and they have refrained from submitting any to public competition. On the part of grocers and refiners more disposition has been shown to do business, and they have taken several parcels by private treaty. Prices com pared with those of this day week show a small advance. There are, however, further arriva!s of the new crop, and the stock is much larger than it was at this time in 1846; prices are. however, considerably under those of that period for every kind. . . ESL INDIA.—The low rates that prevail for Penang Sugar cause buyers to be more inclined to make pur chases, and on the part of holders less desire is shown to sell, whereas none has been submitted to public com petition. Privately the parcels sold were at prices rather above those previouslyeurrent, brown selling at 25s to 30s, and yellow 30s to 38s. In Bengal the operations are upon a more extended scale, whilst the supply is less plentiful; prices are on the advance. For Madras the demand is more active, holders are less inclined to sell and offered none at public sale; privately several parcels, however, have been disposed of. FOREIGN. —There is no inclination on the part of holders of Foreign Sugar to submit to any further de cline in the Value, and they have refraii ovi from submitting any to public sale, whilst there is only a moderate quan tity on offer in the private market. The export orders concluded are, however, trifling, and the demand has been limited from our refiners working under bond. The sales worth notv'ing are only 3,000 chests of Bahia at 15s 6 , 1 to 17s for low and m1(111:ng brown, and at 19s for common white. The market is, however, not ex pected to continue long in i;s present quiet state. COFFEE.—The home trade are little inclined to operate in any kind of West India by private treat . ), although holders are willing to accept lower rates. None has been offered at auction. Prices tire lover than by 3s to 9s for inferior, and lOs to 20s for the better sorts. Although the quantity of East India on sif t s- i s sma ll, y. t a tall took place in the value of both home trade and shipping kinds, a further diminution having occurred in the demand for :all purposes. Native Ceylon is little required, and prices are further depressed. None has been brought to public sale. The sales made in Planta tion are trifling, notwithstanding the low rates which holders are willing to take for all kinds, Mocha is little required, anti can be obtained upon lower terms. Buyers of East India kinds have been induced to operate rather more freely in consequence of holders submitting to easier rates privately. At auction 110 bags Singapore for cash on the 29th instant at 25s to 25s 6d for sound. Of Foreign Coffee none has been submitted to public sale, and pri vately the dealings have been of a limited nature, al though sellers are willing to make a slight concession in the value. TEL—Holders of Black and Green sorts manifest more firmness, and offer a less quantity for sale. In. Black the purchases made have been upon a more ex tended scale, and the rates obtained are rather above those previously quoted. Green is not risen in value; there is, however, a more active demand, and the quantity passing for sale is not so large as of late, whereas merchants are less inclined to realise. In Scented Teas the operations are upon a more ex tended scale; prices cannot be quoted higher, and there is yet a plentiful supply. Orange Pekoe of low and middling buality is only worth 7d to Is, good to fine scented is 2d to Is 6d, black leaf 9d to is Bd, and flowery is to 3s 6d per lb.

Payne held four inquests, in St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, on the bodies of four children whose deaths were caused under the following circumstances : —The first was respecting the death of Louisa Ann Hughes, aged eight years, whose parents reside at No. 1, Thomas-street, Shoreditch. The deceased, on Christmas-eve, was engaged lighting a fire, when, in lifting something from the mantel-piece, her clothes became ignited and she was speedily enveloped in flames. The fire was extinguished as quickly as pos sible, and the deceased was removed to the above hos pital, where she expired on Saturday last.—The second inquest was concerning the death of Timothy Bowen, aged five years. On Monday afternoon the deceased fell off the tender into the fire, which set his clothes in a blame. In this state he ran out into the street, with the flames mounting over his head. The fire having been extinguished, the deceased was removed to the above hospital, where he shortly afterwards died.—The third inquiry was touching the death of Emma Groves, aged ten years. Ellen Jones said, that the deceased on Sun day week was on a visit at a f r i en d' s h ouse, at No. 2, South-street, when, in reaching some sugar from the mantel-piece, her clothing took fire, and she was dread fully burnt over the whole of her body. She was taken to the hospital, where she expired on Saturday. The father of the child said, that the deceased had told hint since she had been in the hospital, that a girl, named Kitty Mitten, had placed a lighted squib' under ber clothing and thereby caused the accident, This was stoutly denied by the girl in question, and also by the other inmates of the house.—The fourth case was re specting the death of Georgiana Poole, aged five years. The deceased, during the temporary absence of her parents, by some means set her clothes on fire, on Mon day last. She was taken to the above institution, where she expired almost immediately after her admission.— _ Verdict in each case—Accidental Death. TnE CREAM OF THE Joss.—On Sunday evening last a can of milk was stolen from the shop of. a milk, egg, and butter dealer in St. Leonard's-street. The booty was subsequently placed in pawn for 3d. The theft, we may mention, was quickly detected; as also the circumstance of the milk being placed in pawn. The broker, on being questioned on the subject, stated that the woman who deposited the milk in pawn intimated that, being in want of .3d., she would leave the milk is pledge till the cream rose upon it. This is surely as curious a case of theft and pawning as has ever come under our notice. —Edinburgh News.
