LONDON Coin; MARKET.—(Froin Kingsford and Lays
Circular.)—The show of English Wheat is small ; a few of the
best samples was taken at a decline of about Is. per qr., and
a larger reduction would have been accepted, to have cleared
the rest, but it remained unsold to a late hour. Foreign
Wheat neglected, and, holders do not press sales ; prices re-
main nominally unaltered. Barley, ls. to 25.; Beans an 4 trey
Peas, 25.; and White Peas, 4s. per qr. cheaper. Oats very

dull at rather lower prices. The top price of Town-made
Flour is reduced 3s. per sack, and Country Marks and Ameri-
can, Is. to 2s. lower.

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 28.—Beef has been in very limited request
this week, but this was to be looked for both from the Christmas
holidays and the unwillingness of the dealers to increase their
stocks at the close of the year. Since our last, over 1,100 tierces
of new have arrived. The very small stock of pork left is also
neglected. A few more small parcels of new bacon have arrived,
which meet with only a moderate demand. There is little to
report in lard ; some trifling sales have been made at our highest
quotation. Cheese is in very moderate request, and quotations
may be looked upon as in a great degree nominal.
DEC. 31.—The supply of butter from Ireland is falling off con-
siderably, still the market continues dull and depressed, only a
limited business was transacted last week. The finest qualities
are held for full prices, but lower descriptions might be bougnt at
a reduction of Is to Is per cwt; a better demand, however, is
calculated on shortly, which would prevent any further decline in
prices. Waterford and Dungarvan. 106 s to 108 s ; Kilkenny,
Carrick. Wexford, and Clonmer, 104 s to 106 s; Limerick and Sligo,
96s to 103 s per cwt. landed. Imported from the 22nd to the 28th
instant, both inclusive, 4812 firkins, 12 kegs, 263 crocks,3B6 boxes,
and 44 barrels butter; 92 bales bacon ; 4 hhds. and 5 tierces hams;

INCREASE OF THE DOCK RATES.

THE Dock Committee, at their meeting on Thurs.
day, resolved on an increase of the dock rates, both 011
tonnage and goods, the revised scale to come into

practicalaturda y n eexffte.
effects
ohfi mays
the
be
purchase the
Birkenhead dock property ; but as there are better
considered
e l
reasons for the alteration than the mere absence of
competition, it is but fair to the Dock Committee and
the important interests involved in the change to view
the question upon its own intrinsic merits. It will be
observed, by reference to the report of the proceedings
of the Dock Committee, that the advance upon the
present scale of rates will be about ten per cent., but
this is merely an approximation to the truth, as stated
by the Chairman of the Finance Committee, the rate
of increase varying in different items, but amounting
in the whole to about the sum named, and estimate"'
to produce an augmentation to the income of the Dock
Trust of about £37,000 a year. Should this estimate'
be realised, an ample fund will be provided for the
improvement of the dock property, without adding tf
the bonded debt, and, at the same time, an addl.
tional security be given to the bondholders whose
interests were supposed to be somewhat endangered'
by the great additional capital proposed to be raised
for the projected extension at the north end.

With reference, however, to the justice and pro"
priety of the proposed increase, the consideration of
the question is necessarily divided as it applies to
tonnage and to goods. Since the present scale of
rates was fixed, a new law has come into operation, by
which the mode of rating vessels for tonnage has been
considerably modified, and this more particularly with
respect to steam-ships, which now form so large 3
portion of the trade of the port. In adding, therefore,
ten per cent. to the present scale of dock rates, it iG
contended that vessels will not really pay more than

ga
n in
they did before the alteration of the mode of measure-
ment, and that consequently no hardship will be
inflicted.
thish o wr-oesypeore, t arises t
e a from
h i the
s,. factav
want of powers in the Dock Trustees to leg
differential scale of rates without a fresh applicati°
to Parliament. On the other hand, however, it Yogi
be argued, that if steam-ships occupy a comparative',
sr p
the
greater amount of dock space, it is generally for
much shorter period of time than sailing vessels, 5°
that the advantage is almost equal. As to the increase
upon goods, it was stated at the meeting alluded t°'
that the dock rates were lowered some years since/
owing to anticipated competition from the opening °f
the Birkenhead Docks, a danger which of course n°
longer exists, and that the reduction applied more
especioily to the charge upon bales of cotton, which is
now to be raised about forty-five per cent., but which

Middleton, of Smallburn, near Auchterless, dated March 15, 1855.
To Professor Holloway.— " Sir,—One of my children, about six
months old, was feariully afflicted with sores all over his head,
which spread so rapidly that we were feaaful he would lose his
sight. I persevered for some time in the treatment advised by a
medical practitioner, but the child's head coutinued to get worse.
I then determined to try your Ointment, which had the effect of
curing him in a few days, and his head remains as clean as if
nothing had affected it."

I'A.TAL ACCIDENT AT KILYEE.--We deeply regret to
rarn that a most melancholy accident occurred on Sunday
:ast at Kilkee, which has thrown respectable families into
Consolable grief, and which has caused wide-spread sym-
pathy. The sea on that day was literally mountains high,
,2th a violent gale. Mr. Pepper and Miss Smithwick, both,
Rbelieve, from the county of Tipperary, walked out and
P,oceeded in the direction of the cliffs. Having reached " the
anlPhitheatre" they proceeded down the cliffs, for the purpose
(3f obtaining a closer view of the billows as they broke in fury
the
the rocks ; but the had been a very short time looking on
angry waters when they were overtaken by a tremendous
ea, which completely overpowered them, and, on receding,
ii7led them into the ocean, where it was impossible that re-
lief be afforded. In fact, they were not seen afterwards,
up to this moment, their bodies have not been discovered.
to Is stated that Mr. Pepper and Miss Smithwick were about
t 1 be married immediately after Christmas. We understand
p at some ladies and gentlemen were in company with Mr.
tiel"'Per and Miss Smithwick on this mostsad occasion, and
t they had a narrow escape from a similar awful fate. NI, e
~'-09 heard that Mr. Pepper had been for many years an offi-
t.,rim. the East India Company's service, and had attained the
—IIK of colonel.—Limerick Reporter.
