produce of the East Indies is 29e. Md. per cwt. Tile average price of
the three foregMagdaseriptions, jointly, is 274.01 d per cwt.—Gazette.

SHEERNESS.—The Board of Health contemplate
extensive operations at this place, which has so long been
notorious for its agues, arising chiefly from the want of
drainage. It is rumoured that they intend to expend 10,0001.
in sanitary measures. A correspondent says: " Ito not im-
probable, however, that government will beat a portion of
this expense, as the population consists almost entirely of the
military artistica employed in the dockyard, and others in
government employ."
DEATH OF MR. JAMES SCOTT, OF THE "GREENOCK
ADVraTISEII "—This gentleman died at Greenock on the
Ist inst. Be hat been connected with the Advertiser since
1831, and from that time the editorial duties chiefly devolved
upon him till about four years ago, when heavy affiiction
laid him totally wide. Mr. Scott possessed a large amount
of information on the history, civil and ecclesiastical, of his
native country, and was deeply imbued with Whig princi-
ples. Mr. Scott's first connezion with the press was with the
Gla.gow Chronicle. Re subsequently joined the Montreal
Herald, which under tie charge gained much of the high
character it now possesses —Greenock Advertiser.
THE CHOLERA still lingers in Arbroath, several
eases, most of them fatal, having occurred last week.
SUICIDE IN EDINBUIGH.—Mr. George !iutherland,
reinter, or High-street, en Tuesday precipitated himself over
the parapet wall of the North Bridge. He was observed by
two or three individuals who were posing, first to lean owe r
the wall, and then to throw himself head foremost into the
Vegetable Market below—a hei,lit of about eighty feet. In
his descent he was noticed to turn completely round, so that
he alighted on his feet instead of his head. He fell, how-
ever, with such violence that both his legs were broken,
while his body was otherwise dreadfully mangled, and lice
quite extinct. The melancholy event is ascribed, by those
who knew him most intimately, to the grief in which he
has been silently indulging ever since the death of his wife,
about 18 months ago. He was an elder in South College-street
United Presbyterian Church, and for some years held the
office of police commissioner. lie was about 48 years of age.
—Scotsman.
AFFRAY WITH POACHEEL—Late on Saturday
night, the Earl of Lauderdale's gamekeepers having heard
several shots fired, apparently about a quarter of a mile east-
ward of the castle, and suspecting that a party of poachers
might bs abroad, proceeded in search of the depredators,
each armed with a strong stick. On reaching the part of the
roadway called the "high cross," they were immediately
oonfronted by three poachers, viz Redpath and Lillico, from
Cadres mill, and Lindsay, from Ozton, who levelled thell
guns at the keepers, and threatened them with instant death
if they dared to interfere with them. The upper keeper,
Barlow Scott, nothing daunted by such menacing language
and attitude, west boldly up to Redpath, who is a tall and
powerful man, and telling him " that none but cowardly
rascals w.,uld have presented their guns to an unarmed
fellow-creature," dealt him a blow across his forehead with
his stick that brought him instantly to the ground. The
other keeper, Richard Purees, closed with Lindsay, and
Lillie° took the advantage to run away. The three offen-
ders have been safely lodged in Greenlaw.
THE FLOODS which during the last two or three
days so imminently threatened great portions of the
railways :in the Midland Counties with destruction, are
fast subsiding, and all cause for tear is now past.
A DEAD CHILD SENT BT RAILWAY.—TheOphiIaS
Burton, of North Leverton, Notts, blacksmith, on Friday
last, received by post an anonymous letter, steting that
there was a box for him at Retford, and requesting him to
fetch it as soon as possible. Fetching the box from the
White Hart Inn, Retford, it was opened, and in it was
found a dead child, a boy, apparently about two years
old. On examination by Mr. BS lagg, surgeon, it appeared
to have been Wrangled an 4 beaten on the head, having a
braise on the left side of the forehead, and a ma:k round
the threat, such as would be produced by a ligature. Toe
box was enclosed in a wrapper and corded and locked, and
directed to "Mr. Theophilus Burton, North Leverton,
near Retford." It arrived at Newark by railway at 20
minutes past 4 p.m. on Thursday,and was thence conveyed by
coach to Raif on e flloing day, and left at the White
Hart lan. An ord
Inquest onw the body was commenced on
Monday last, several witnesses were examined, and the in-
quiry wee adjourned.
