This nwriting.—Vegetables are still sufficient for
the demand, hut Fruit is not over abundant. Pine Apples
of excellent quality are p'entiful, and may be bought at last
week's prices. Grapes, both English and foreign, are cheap
and plentiful, more especially the latter, large importations of
which continue to an ITO twice a week by the steam-
ships from Rotterdam they are well flavoured, and
teauveeranlloyt larrite'vrUninexpet;ilmlenstincocendoiutrioiLt Apples and
are scarce. Nuts arc sufficient for the dema.nd. Walnuts
are plentiful, and very good in crudity. There is little de-
mand for Filberts. Lemons are scarce, and so arc good
English Melons • some foreign ones are in the market. Of
Vegetables, Cabbages, Cauliflowers, &c., are good, but the
latter hardly sufficient for the demand. Carrots and Turnips
have altered but little in price. Peas are almost over for a
season. Beans remain nearly the same as last week. Celery
is good in quality. Potatoes are rather scarce, and very
much affected by the prevailing disease. Lettuces and other
Saladings are good and plentiful. Cut Flowers chiefly consist
of Heaths, Jasmine., Pinks, Camellias, Pelargoniums, Gar-
denias, Violets, Fuchsias, Azaleas, and Roses.

RUMOURED LOSS BY FIRE. OF ONE OF THE. HALIFAX
AND BOSTON STEAMERS.—The following is • letter received
at Lloyd's this morning, from their agent at Dublin, dated
16th :rut, the substance of which no doubt gave rise to the
rumour that one of the Halifax and Boston line of
steamers had been destroyed by fire: "Dublin, Oct.
15th, 1846.—Captain Roche, of the Torrance, reports that
en the 30th ult., at 10 o'clock p.m., steering E.S.E., he fell
In with a ship on fire to the northward : he immediately
altered his course, and ran down to her, going as close to her
as he could with prudence, in the crippled state of the Tor-
rence. As well as he could judge, she had been on fire for
some time, as her decks were all burnt, excepting the top-
gallant forecastle ; flames came issuing out of the stern wins
ffs. From the time that Capt. Roche made her out first,
he hoisted lights, in order that, should aay of the crew or
passengers happen to have taken to the boats, and be in the
neighbourhood, they might sec the position of the Torrence.
Daring the night, he ran dead before the wind, keeping a
good lookout ; a heavy sea being on at the time. Capt.
Reche's reasons for supposing the vessel to have been a
steamer, are, a short straight bowsprit, two tier cabin
windows aft, sharp bows, high out of the water ;
he could perceive irons in both sides amidships, where the
paddles of a steamer would be, hat from smoke and the
thickness of the weather he could not clearly ascertain
what she was ; on the larboard bow he saw a small air-
port open.
From Liverpool, Lloyds have received the following from
their agent : " The remains of a vessel of about 360 tons, that
had recently been burnt, with the Astrea from Weymouth
to Quebec lying by, was passed 25th ult., in lat. 46, long. 53,
by the Canabyses, arrived here." This is the only vessel re-
ported on fire, except the one noticed by the Torrence,
of Dublin, the latter of which was reported to be a steamer :
they were probably both dereleets set on fire by some passing
vessel, whose safety had been endangered by them.
