COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—'PHIS LAY.
The weather haying changed for the better in th is neigh-
bourhood the town millers were not disposed to increase
their stocks, and having very few country buyers at market
this morning, and a rather Large supply of foreign Wheat
and Flour, the value of both articles was barely supported ;
at the same time holders did not evince any disposition to
force sales, well knowing that a few day's sunshine
will not repair the mischief already done in the southern
counties. The samples of new Wheat at market this morn-
ing were, if anything, in worse condition and quality than
on Monday last.
English Barley continues scarce, and its value was fully
supported. Foreign, (or grinding and distilling, sold on
much the same as before.
The tineneu of the weather has also affected the Oat
trade, and the dealers found no difficulty in supplying
themselves at rather easier rates than in the beginning of
the week.
Beene and Peas supported the advance noted on Monday.
In floating and free on board cargoes but little business
passed this morning.
Seeds underwent no change of importance.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.—THIS DAY.
The supply of Beasts continues to be tolerably good ;
there is no greater demand, consequently we have no ad-
vanes on Monday's quotations. The number of Sheep and
Lambe is very much less than of late. They are very
quickly disposed of at an advance of fully 2d. per 8 lbs. on
all descriptions. Although the number of Calves is still
large, the scarcity of Sheep has an evident effect on the sale
of them, and pries have advanced, especially for choicest
kinds, which are comparatively scare*. Our foreign supply
consists of about 500 Beasts, 2,000 Sheep, and 440 Calves.
We have 200 Beasts from the Northern and Midland, and
97 Mild* Cows from the Home Counties.

Gus AM')Ext—On Stmday morning last, Chas.
Attewell, • labourer in the employment of ,de. Wm. Shaw,
farmer, of Newbury, Berke, was welking through the fields
with a loaded gun, when he incautiously used it is endea-
vouring to obtain some nuts from one of the hedges. The
trigger having become entangled in the branches, the gun
exploded, end the charge was lodged in the poor fellow's
arm. Although greatly enfeebled by the excessive hem-
orrhage, he succeeded in reaching his home, when he
immediately received medical asaistance, which was, how-
ever, iling, and he expired within en hour. The
deceased was 23 years old, and has left a wife and two children.
STRANGE AFFAIR.—On Wednesday afternoon a
man, apparently an engineer, brought a boy of about 14
yearn old, M a state of insensibility, to King's College Hos-
pital, where, after placMg him on a table, and telling the
porter that he bed fallen down stairs, he instantlydeeamised.
The latter hurried into one of the wards for Mr. Bridge-
water, the house surgeon. On that gentleman examining
the boy, who appeared in a dying state, there was no per-
son present to say who he was, where he came from, or
how his hurt wu occasioned. The medical gentleman being
guided by appearances, treated him for a concusaion of the
brain, but was unable to say if he laboured under any other
injuries at the same time.
