ANTI-MALT-TAX LEAGUE.—A :great meeting of
farmers and others in favour of the repeal- of the malt-tax, is
to be held for the purpose of forming an Anti-Malt Tax
League, at Warminster, in Wilts, early in the ensuing week.
Sir Henry Macleod. late governor of Trinidad, died
at Windsor, and not in Trinidad. lord Harris has adminisil
tared the governmentof the colony for nearly twelve months.

DR. DILLON.—This rev. gentleman died on Monday
morning, at one o'clock, in the cottage attached to the Re-
formed English Chapel, White's-row, Spitalfields, of whisk
he was the clergyman. He had been indisposed for a consi-
derable period, and had some time back ruptured a blood-
eessel. In consequence of domestic misfortuues, which have
more than once attracted considerable public attention, the
deceased was for some time very much depressed in his mind.
He had removed to Islington to enjoy a purer atmosphere
than that of Spitalfields, lout unfortunately without success.
Oa Saturday he returned to White'orow, where he expired.
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday even-
ing, during the dense fog, two young men, aged 17 and 16,
named Bowles, of Tollesbury, Essex, left their boat, in
which they had been employed during the day, and pro-1
ceeded to walk home. Unhappily, they lost their way in the
fog, and became fixed in the mud; from this situation they
strove for several hours to extricate themselves, but could
not succeed, and the advancing tide threatened them with
destruction. Their cries for help were distinctly heard by '
the villagers, but the fog prevented them from discovering
the spot where the poor youths were fixed, and therefore as-
sistance was impossible. Their shrieks became more heart-'
nutting as the tide continued to flow ; then the faintness of
their cries indicated di clining strength, and at length their
voices were bushel for ever by the overwhelming power of
the sea. Some hours elapsed from the time they lost their
way until they were suffocated by the tide; during all this
time their sufferings must have been extreme, from the eon.
seionsness of the fate that awaited them—so gradual, and yet
as certain; so slow, and yet so irresistible.—lpswich Express.
STRIKE OF WORKMEN AT BERWICK.—The opera-
tions at the railway bridge constructing across the Tweed
11 have been interrupted in consequence of a strike among the
workmen. The wages given throughout the summer have been
very high—higher, it is believed, than have ever been the case
in that district. The demand having now slackened, the con-
tractors reduced the amount of the wages. That reduction,
though not very great, was, however, resisted by the men,
and the consequence has been that the greater part of last
week has been spent in idleness by the majority, of them. It
is understood that the men have since returned to their em-
ployment at the reduced prices.
THE SUSPECTED POISONING AT TIVERTON. —On
Monday the magistrates were agsin occupied in investigating
the supposed murder of Richard Fisher, a farm labourer, at
the village of Morchard. Two other parties, Thomas Leach
and Mary Hodge, sister-in-law of the unfortunate deceased,
have been apprehended on suspicion, and with the widow,
Ann Fisher, have been committed to the county poi for trial
at the ensuing assizes.
IRELAND.—MEASURES FOR THE REPRESSION OF
CRIME.—The Dublin Evening Mail makes the following
announcement " His Excellency, we understand, is about
to issue a proclamation, warning the people against the com-
mission of crime, and admonishing them that those who
harbour criminals, and favour their evasion of justice, are, in
the eyes of the law, criminal themselves, and will hereafter
be dealt with accordingly. We have reason to believe that
an Arms Act of an extremely stringent character is in course
of preparation, and will be laid before parliament at as
early a period le possible. The suspension of the Habeas
Corpus Act is the only measure adequate to the crisis."

PRODUCE.—MINCINO-LANE, Half-past Two.—
There has not been a public sale of Sugar, as frequently
occurs on a Wednesday, but a fair amount of business has
been done by private contract, at full prices, and the
improvement quoted yesterday is fully supported. Refined is
better; brown lumps, 525.; to peas the standard,
ban—Coffee is progressing steadily, at yesterday's
prices.—Pepper gone off steadily. Malababar sold at
21 to 21 lb.— Nutmegs and Mace sold at a shade
lower prices.—Cotton remains dull, but prices are supported.
—Rice ha■ been very steany.—ln other articles no alteration,
but the markets generally wear a firm appearance.

HULL, Nov. 9.-There has been more &mats, in every
branch of the trade during the past week, but the weight of
business done by no means great. We continue to have 'no
derate arrivals of foreign grain, which meet a fair sale. New
Wheat et Is. to 2s. more money. New Beans 2s. decline.
We had, at to-day's market, a good supply of Wheat from
the farmers-quality and condition excellent. It met fair
sale at about the rates of last market day. We had no altera-
tion in foreign. There is little doing in Barley except for
grinding purposes; a good supply of this description is now
on the market, at more moderate rates than lately paid.
More business passing in Oats, and a trifle more money paid
for sealing qualities. A large shew of new foreign Beans,
which for the moment overdoes the market. Linseed dull
sale, and Cakes easier to buy. In Rapeseed and Cakes the
transactions are trifling. The consumption of Rye Meal
increases now the price is reduced ; as to-day's rates
extensive sales might ne made, no other food being so cheep
for cattle. The following are the prices: Wheat, red, 645.
to 58e. ; new, 565. to 58e. ; white, 58s. to 60s. ; new, Mo. to
605.; Dantzic, 584. to 603.; Lower Baltic and Hamburg,
50s. to 563. Barley, malting, 325. to 345.; grinding, 28s.
to 30s. Oats, Danish, 183. to 208. ; Russian, 19s. to 21s.
Beans, 424. to 465. ; foreign, 38s. to 425. Pea', white and
yellow, 425. to 455. Linseed, crushing. 40s. to 413.5. ; feed-
ing, 501. Rapeaeed, per 10 qrs., 271. 10s. to 281. Linseed
Cakes, English, per ton, 111. ss. ; foreign, 91. 105. to
101. 10s. Rape Cakes, 120 s. Imports from the 30th Oct.
to the sth Nov., kinclusive : Wheat, 634 qrs. ; Bari
3,170; Oats, 600; Beene, 1.432; Peas, 190; Tares, 100;
Linseed, 50; Linseed Cakes, 335.
Irswtcx, Nov. 9.-Wheat at to-day's market may be I
noted as selling at about the rates of this day week. The de-
mend is not lively, and but little change hands but for local
consumption. The supply ia fair. Barley sells slowly, at
