THY. I- tar OF THE MlTCHELL—Tee-
terday Mr. Hertford held an inquest at the Marquis of
Westashoter, Warwick-erect. Pimlico, on the body of
William Ward, a Nieman, late of the Ilamilla Mitchell.
trailing between China and Hartlepool. The hotly having
ben elesedifiel. Mr. Charles Traver. Mocking, surgeon,

nesday, the 11th instant, he was called in to attend de-
ceased, and he found him suffering (ruin scurvy, and in a
very low state. Ile expired in a few days after. A post
mote. examination had been made, and all the organs
were blond to be in a beaky n. It was has opinion
that death was the malt of exhaustion from diarrhcee,
cannel by the want of piper Moil. Edward ('onnor, 2,
Prince ss street, Minorite, labourer, and John Harley, 20,
Peter'.-court, Mint-street. Whiteehapel, gave evidence to
the affect that on Wednesda the 14th inst., the
Hamill*!Mitotic)]. Capteiu Holmes, arrived in the
St. Katharine's Duck. The witnesses Loth went or
board to ohtain employment, when they found all
the crew, with the exception of the officers and one fare-
the-mast man, in a very bad state of health and unable to
help themselves. The vessel had been worked up from
Erith by wine chalk choppers. Witnesses offered their
sesistanee to the crew, and assisted them ashore. On going
into the lower forecastle to fetch some of the poor fellows
out they found it in a most filthy condition. Deceased was
lying on his hack on the starboard side of the foremost
bunk of the lower forecastle, unable to move. He was em-
bedded in filth, end a part of his dress had actually rotted
away. Ile asked for some water, and said he had lain there
days and die. praying for watt r but without being able to
het any. WAncesee got the address of Ward's sister. 01-
aghsmotreet, Pimlico, and sent for her, and on her arri-
val they got deceased in a cab and had him conveyed to
her home. The only eatables they saw on board were some
salt junk and hard biscuit. Prerione to his death deceased
complained of the conduct of his officers. Witnesses got
the whole 01 the crew out and sent several of then, to the
Dreadnought, where one of them (Craveforil) died on
Saturday. and the others remain very ill. None of the !
oil-en seemed to take any notice of the state of the men.
There being no other witnesses present, the coroner stated
that this CAW had easunied so serious an aspect that it
would he necessary to have some of the crow to give web
denee as soon as they were sufficiently convaleecent, and he
would therefare adjourn the inquest till Thursday next for
that purpose.—Adjourned accordingly.
CUMNICNIC.tTION BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC AND
.—At 11 meeting of the Geographical Society last
might, sir R. Murchison in the chair, Captain Synge, R.K.,
read the second part of his paperoncoininunication between
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, sea British North America.
The mistimed proposed in the first instance is to take advan-
tage of the great natural chain of communication by lakes
and rivers, which for the greater portion of the distance is
alreadJ completed. The St. Lawrence and the great Canadian'
labs, Nilo the main features of this chain. Westward of Lake
Superior there exist numerous lakes and rivers, the waters
of which, though separated, it would he easy to connect, and
to reach the Pacific by the Like of the Woods, and the rivers
Awinihoya and Sask deliewan. The paper comprised many
extracts from the works of Mackenzie, Sir (1. Simpson, and !
other traveller,, sliewing the great natural advantages and
capabilities of the country. Sir It. 'Murchison !poke of the
proposal in terms of commendation, comparing it to the
achievement of Peter the Great in the Russian empire, in
connecting the Black Sea with the Baltic. Major Car-',
michael Smyth warmly supported it, urging that it was ne- !
cessary for the protection of British commerce and the eon- '
solielarion of our empire, and denouncing the monopoly. of
the Hudson's Bay Company a* unfavourable to colonisa-
tion. Mr. Crawford thought the scheme wanting in de-
finitenese and practical character, and cromplaim d that no
d. title were given either as to the quickness or the proba-
ble cost of conveyance by this route. He admitted that it
would be shorter than any now in use, but for half the year
many of the waters of the region in question were ice-
bound. Captain Synge, in answer, explained that he
wished to we an electric Dleteraph and railway establiabeel,
though his views were din eted in the brat place to water
communientinn. Defore the adjournment of the society,
Air It. Murchison announced that the subscriptions in aid
of Captain Beatiesn's expedition in search of Sir John
Frankliallf.Or prisceedieg favourably, and that Earl Fitz-
hardinite would contribute fiof. to it. 'Pm Russian autho-
rities hell also promised every facility and assistance in the
event of their hi ing required.

powd some time since by the Society of Arta for the estate

pidly geining ground in the manulartoring, and especially

IRELAND.

Dreux, JAN. 26.
The Dublin Daily Express bas the following par-
ticulars of the movements of troops and constabulary
to the districts infected with ribbonism :

A company of the 71st Regiment, under the command of
Captain Campbell, left Newry yesterday morning for Rm.
trevor, where the rihhunmen hare been showing themselves
in numbers by night. On Wednesday a detachment of the
31st Infantry, under the command of Captain Baldwin,
arrived in Armagh from Charlemont, and marched next
day for Newtownhamilton. A military station is about to
,be re established at Jontsborough. the detachments of
' constabulary which kit the I'M:anis-park, on Thursday,
for Dundalk, Newry, and Forkhill, arrived at their deed-
! nations same day; and the detachment of 2 constables, and
two sub-constables, despatched yesterday morning, wader
Read-constable Shannon, arrived last evening at Crass-
nuglen, where they will be stationed at the expense of the
district.
_ _

The latest accounts of the progress of Mr.Chambrk
are unfavourable. 'three eminent Dublin medical
men were sent for on Saturday evening to hold a
consultation on the state of the wounded man, Drs.
Adams, Mayne, and Cussack having left town for
that purpose.
The Northern Standard understands that four poor
law guardians this week sessivei thasatsaing
tices, warning them tkeill-Orywinexstaraissak
measure contrary to the wishes of the ruffianly
writers, the fate of the late victims to ribbonism
awaits them. _

A number of persons, amounting, it is said, to
about 100. entered, some nights since, the house of
Owen O'Rourke, farmer, of Ballincorry, barony of
Upper lveagh. county Down, and threatened to re-
turn to" finish" him, if he persisted in the purchase
of some land which he was about taking.
The Galway Mercury says that Mr. John Sadleir,
M.P., and Mr. John linens, an English solicitor,
were engaged during the last week in canvassing the
electors of the barony of Ballinahinch, and adds that
they were very successful in their canvass. Mr.
William Moore Drew, of Queenstown, is spoken of
as a candidate for the representation of the county of
Cark at the next election.

TRIIPiii WEEK.

Trees the Nast-Sam Ifairw.)
BRITISH.
By the official report of the importations into the
United Kingdom, it appean that during the month maim
bth hut we received from foreign countries 423,983 qrs. of
grain 11841 Pula, and 366,871 cwta. of flour and meal. The
principal items were 178,839 qrs. wheat, 126,183 ("Indian
corn, and 366,750 ewb. wheaten flour. The supply, though
considerably less than in the early months of last year, can.
not be considered an unimportant ; there are still consider-
able quantities of wheat and Indian corn on passage to this
country from ports east of Gibraltar, besides which we may
calculate so moderate importations of flour from time to
time from America. Meanwhile prices continue so high on
the continent of Europe, as to render it very improbable that
any arrivals will reach us from those anustries from
which in ordinary seasons wo are in the habit of drawing'
the greater portion of our foreign supplies. It is the
latter circumstance, and the fact that purchases of
wheat have Hr some time past bees making hen for
export that has led to the belief that the upward move-
ment la prism which we have lately had to miss will
evades& The low point to which the aloe of wheat

which his been t emme • imam rise of Is. to 2s. por qr.

The upward move•Mmt la the value of ileglith, and the
apparent certainty that me sapplies of moment can for a
considerable time to mese mash as, have tendered holders
of grsnaried parcels very Indiana' about realising, ex-
cept at enhanced terms, and penhaaers having paid the
advance asked with reluctaaeo, the triancomas have not
been extensive. On Frilay there was ewe dung than
earlier in the week, and higher prices were made than were
previously obtainable, but quotations were not ',generally
altered.

The rates demanded for Boating cargoes of wheat on
passage have been relatively higher than those at which
similar qualities might be bought on the spot, which has
naturally checked the inclination to buy, and so the offers
have not been by any means numerous,,the amount of busi-
ness dune in this branch of the trade has been less extensive
than would otherwise have been the case. For Polish
Odessa 394., and for (Mirka 40s. to 41s. per qr. cost, freight,
and insurance, has been asked.
The top quotation of town.manulactured Flour has not
varied, but for fresh country household rather enhanced
terms have been made. American barrels have, within the
last fortnight, crept up is. to Is. Bd. in value, and a corres-
ponding advance has taken place in prices for best qualities
of French.

Barley of home growth has come sparingly to hand, and
the greater part of the foreign received has consisted of low
quality from Egypt. The few lota of line English malting
barley brought forward have been readily placed at the ex-
treme terms of Monday last, and on Friday the supply was
scarcely adequate to meet the demand. Foreign has through-
out the week been in steady request, and has brought fuUy
es much money as previously.
Malt has moved off rather freely, at the terms of Monday.
Beans have not excited much attention. The upward
movement in mice' of other 'nicks has, however, had
some influence, and quite as much money was asked at the
close as in the beginning or the week.
I'eu have moved off steadily at about preview' terms.
There has been a lively inquire for Indian earn and
nearly all the cargoes which have arrived off the mast 'have
found takers at advanced rates. The latest prices paid have
been 295. 6d. for GaMtx, and 28s. lid. per quarter, Calk
freight, and insurance, fur lbraila, holders having subse-
quently raised their pretensions to 30e. 6d. and 295. 6d.
respectively.
FOREIGN.
The excitement which has for some time past prevailed in
the principal continental grain markets has been greatly ia-
creased by the somewhat mere encouraging reports from
hence; and extravagantly high rates 'geese to have been
paid for wheat and rye in the Baltic. Meanwhile the re-
ports generally agree in admitting that the wheat harvest
in Poland, Russia, and a large portion of Germany, has
given a large yield; and it is entirely to the deficiency of
the rye and potato crops that the continued advance in
prices is attributed. Some of our correspondents look upon
the existing state of affairs in the Baltic as hazardous; bat
the general feeling there seems to be in favour of a further
advance.

Danzig letters of the 20th instant state that purchuers
had visited that market from Konigsberg and Stettia, who
had bough: wheat of inferior quality, such aa would have
been wholly unlit for shipment, at relatively high rates,
equal to 40s. per qr. free on board in spring basing been
actually paid for soft ill-conditioned 571bs. new. Good
shipahle parcels had been held at 455. to 4Ga., and for really
fine high•mited samples of old, considerably higher terms
had been asked. Rye had been much sought ,after, and
equal to 40a. to 41s. per qr. bad been realised for the Litter
article.

At Konigsberg, on the 20th of January, wheat was in
active request ; but the almost total want of supplies had
prevented much business being done. The value of wheat
and prices of spring corn had nevertheless continued to sal-
sauce steadily. High-mixed wheat was quoted 465. 9i1.,
and red of ouly 601 lbs. weight, 43.. 9d. per qr. free on
board in spring.
At Stettin speculation appears to have been more ram-
pant that, almost any other place in the Baltic. and by
advices from thence of the 19th of J y we learn that a
further rise had occurred there. The stuck of wheat at
that port is described as good, and supplies were
expected to come forward io the spring on rather
a liberal scale. Our correspondent very sensibly re-
marks that, unless a foreign demand should spring up to
assist the speculators, there may be some difficulty in matting
re-sales of the purchases so anxiously entered into. For
Pomeranian wheat of 60 to 601 lbs. weight 41s. 9d., end for
Silesian 445. 3d. per qr. free on board bad been paid ; Pome-
ranian barley, 61i to 52 Ills., was quoted 275. 3d., and 37165.
oats 19s. 6d. per qr.
At Wismar, on the 19th instant, several purchases of
wheat were made on Hamburg account at enhanced terms,
and as much as 41s. per qr. free on board was paid
for fair Glib.. quality. Barley had come very sparingly
to hand, and had realised equal to 235. per qr. free on
board.

_
Hamburg letters of Tuesday inform us that the some-
what firm tone of the English advices had bad the effect
of causing further excitement in the grain trade, and a
large business is reported to have been done in wheat
and barley since the preceding post day, principally
from outports and for delivery in spring. Wheat from
the Lower Baltic ports had realised from 425. 6d. up to
445. 941., and barley from the Danish islands 24.. 9d. per qr.
free on board. At these rates, contracts to • considerable
extent had been dined. Fur inferior oats, weighing only
33Ibs. per bushel, equal to lh. 6d. per qr. free on board
had been paid.
In the Dutch markets a steady business appears to have
been done, and at Rotterdam, on Monday, flue Zealand
wheat was again rather dearer.
From Emden and Uronlngen we learn that an improved
demand had sprung up for oats, which had caused prices to
tend upwards, and consignments frointhenee would scarcely
pay at present.
In France, holders of wheat and flour have again raised
their pretensions, and shipments of flour and wheat from
thence to England could no longer bo made with advantage.
Letters from Marseilles, of the 19th January, inform us
that Polish wheat had risen to 365. per qr. free on board,
and that 34e. up to 375. per sack, cost and freight, had been
paid fur tine flour.
