SOLICITATION OP CIIRISTMAB BOXES BY POST-
max.—The following notice, addressed to all postmasters,
sub-postmasters, clerks, letter-receivers, letter-carriers,
oost messengers, and others, employed in the service of the
Post-office, has been issued by the Pentameter-General :
The attention of the Postmaster-General having been
drawn to a practise, prevailing amongst some officers of the
department, of soliciting Christmas gifts from the public,
his lordship desires it to be known that be considers such •
practice as objectionable in the highest degree, and that he
is resolved to remote from the service any officer who, after
this notice, shall be proved to have solicited from the public
any Christmas gift or other gratuity whatever. The Post-
master will require every person attached to his office to
read and sign this instruction.•

BATIDI AND WASIIIIOUSEB.—From the return.
issued by the " Committee for promoting the Establish-
ment of Baths and Wathhonees for the Labouring Classes,"
it appears that during the month ended July, 18.52, the re-
ceipts at the air metropolitan establishments have amounted
to 2,7681. 6e. 6d., ag inst 1,608/. 3s. 4d in the same period
last year. The number of bathers was 199,034, against
104,856 in the corresponding month of 1851 ,• showing an
increase of 1,2621. 2s. Id. in money, and 96,079 bathers.
In the same month of 1848, the first year of the " model este.
lilishment" being opened, the number was 7,934 battlers
only. The country returns conticue to furnish similar ea-
tisfactory results. Whilst their bathing and washing have
increased, the increase, great as it is, is small compared
with the vast numbers of poor families to whom the benefits,
social and moral, of these estahlishments are of the greatest
importance, and who would gladly use the baths and wash
houses were they brought within their reach, or in other
words, if each district were supplied with one or more of
these useful institutions.

SOUTH DEVON AND TAVIATOCK lIRILWAY.—Tho
surveyors have been engaged for the last three months in
selecting and surveying the line of the proposed railway to
the Moor. This branch is intended to diverge from the
company's main line to Tavistock in the vicinity of Plym.
bridge, and will piss near the Boringdon mine to the Lee
Moor Clay Works in a course of four miles. The plans and
sections are completed, and Mr. Ilawkshaw, the engineer
to Lord Morley, will meet the engineer to the company this
week, to settle the details of construction, end arrange for
the immediate prosecution of the works. The engineer,
Mr. Bampton, has commenced the parliamentary surveys
of the main line,which will paas by Bickley, Yelverton, and
°moven to Tavistock, nearly in the route selected by Mr.
Brunel In 1848.

TILL AUSTRALIAN SWAYER STONEY did not Sail
front Plymouth until the 40t, instead of on the 2nd, in con-
sequence of some slight regain which she required.

MARK-LANE.—THIS DAY.
There was very little English Wheat at market this
morning, and the weather being unsettled factors bad no
difficulty in obtaining rather higher rates. Foreiga Wheat
was in more request, and an improvement of Is. per qr. wait
in many instances obtained.
Flour was more difficult to purchase, without any decided
advance.
Barley and Oats were both held with increased firmness,
and the turn in price was against the buyer.
Beans and Fees fully supported Monday's quotations.

Corn s.—The atrial order is now published prohibit-
ing the mixture of Chicory with Coffee, but no penalty at-
tached until after the expiration of three months, which is

may be quoted Is. dearer. Large public sales are now pro-
gressing, with a steady appearance.

prices are supported.
Currox.—The market has been firm but not so active as

ful trade. Monday's prices are fully supported, and in a
few instances exceeded. The number of Sheep and Lambs
is smaller than of late, and the weather being cooler buyers
are more pleutitul for Sheep, hut for Lambs trade is very
slow ; quotations for both remain unaltered. Although the
number of Calves is large, there is a demand for them, and
choicest descriptions are rather dearer. From Germany

Figs; 300 Beasts from Northern and Midland, and 116 lAilch
Cows from Home Counties.

DEATH OF MR. GRANGER, M.P. FOR DURHAM
CITY.—It is our melancholy duty to record the death of
Mr. Granger, the member for the city of Durham.
The melancholy event took place in York yesterday
(Thursday) very suddenly. The hon. member had been
on the northern circuit at the Durham amisee, and arrived
in York on Saturday evening. Feeling himself unwell, be
resolved to remain quiet in the ancient city of York for a
few days, hoping that a relaxation from the excitement of
business would be beneficial. Ho consulted Mr. B. Dods-
worth, a surgeon of considerable practice, and he continued
to improve under his treatment until Wednesday, when •
marked change for the worst presented itself. be. Simp-
son, an experienced physician, was called in, but the disease
baffled every effort, and yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock,
the hon. member breathed his last at Scawin's Hotel, near
the railway station, where he had taken apartments. Mr.
Granger was called to the bar in 1830. He was a Queen's
counsel, • bencher of the Inner Temple, and recorder for
the borough of Hull. He has represented Durham in three
parliaments, having been elected in 1841, and again in
1847, and a third time in 1852. He was an unsuccessful
candidate at the elections in 1835 and 1837. The remain/
of the hon. member will be removed from York this
(Friday) morning for interment in the vaults of the Temple
Church.

SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO RAISE TIIE DUCHESS
OP KENT S it. Yesterday a successful effort was
made to raise this vessel from the place where she lay in
midchannel, between Northfleet and Grays, and which hod
become a matter of the utmost necessity, in order to remove
the obstruction caused by her to the navigation of the river.
At low water yesterday morning, all the preliminary ar-
rangements having been completed, the chains were fas-
tened down and shortened as much as possible, and a fresh
chain secured to the mainshaft of the engine, in lieu of one
which had broken the preceding day. After the tide had
arisen to some height, the vessels were observed to move,
and the whole flotilla drifted slowly away with the tide and
wind. A distance of about three quarters of a mile
up the river towards Grays was thus made, and
having got into shallower water, the bottom f the
sunken vessel was found to touch the ground, and
no further progress tout(' be then accomplished.
On taking soundings, it was found that there was 10 fa-
thom of water where she lay, being 3 fathom lees than
where she had been moved from. The neat step will be to
bring her into still shallower water, and gradually towards
the shore ; and, when placed above low water mark, the
eked will be cleared out, and the wreck made water
tight, in order to be towed up the river into the repairing
dock. To aid in these further procted,ngs a government
lighter from Chatham is at hand, in addition to those
already engaged in the undertaking.
