has not been experienced for years, and it is still blowing
fearfully.
Dovxn TUESDAT.—As anticipated, nothing further has
transpired respecting the loss of the timber-laden ship and
' her unfortunate crew, which met with her destruction on the
Goodwin, during the gale on Saturday night. That every
soul belonging A her were atcrificed with the ill-fated
vessel, there is no doubt. A quantity of wreck has been
washed up, but nothing has been found that could lead to
her Dame.
There terrible sands were the scene of another unfortu-
nate wreck on flisndey night. The wind was blowing
very strong, and the New Hollansi, Mr. Bradley, muter,
from Port-au-Prince, foe London, was driven upon them,
and the probability is that ere this she has been lost. The
crew were picked up by the Tartar lurger, and have been
safely landed. The loss in this instonce will no doubt prove
very considerable. A number of vends have run into
Ramsgate with loss of cables, anchors, An, and several lug-
ger* have also gone off with Inch to vessels signalizing for
them. NearlT4ill the bodies of the unfortunate fellows, ten,
who perished the loss of th it vessel, the Addolorata, of
and from Nap:es, in Pevensey-bey, near Hastings, have
been washed ashore. The surv.ving four of the crew were
saved by clinging to portions of the wreck. The catastrophe
ha. created much sensation in the neighbourhood.

PORTUGUESE AGENCY. —We understand that,
owing to the failure of the Horne Government at Lisbon in
making remittances, the Portuguese agency in London is
compelled to suspend its payments. The amount falling
due upon it is stated to be under 20,0001., and to consist
chiefly of the draughts of the various employei of the
government at foreign stations. It is assumed, how-
-1 ever, that there can be no daunt. of the whole hang paid,
with interest, immediately on the meeting of the Cortes, Ia
January, and thuds" prima& dello* whisk is ikaidifirraiii
fel to the Portlgnees seetborities as it is creel to them ser-
vants, will accelerate the downfall, net only of Sanhor
Franzini, the head if the finance department, but alto of the
ministry.—iforning paper.

COMMERCIAL c MARKETS.
MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Cloek.—We have rather more fluctuations in
the funds this morning, with a greater tendency to
speculative business. Consols have been in favour,
and for account advanced at one time to 861 to 1, and
money 851 to I ; but they have gradually given way,
and now arc quoted 851 to f 1 money, and for time
86 to 1. The decline is attributed to some intel-
ligence received from Paris, unfavourable to the
stability of the Guizot administration, and the lower
quotations of the rentes on the Bourse of that city.
Reduced Threes are 84 to 1. Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 851 to 1. Exchequer Bills, 4s. to 8.. pm.
We have no alterations to notice in foreign securi-
ties. Chilians are called widely 88 to 92. Mexican,
171 to 18. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 55 to
6; the Fours, 84 to 5. Danish, 80 to 3. Spanish
Fives, 171 to 18; the Threes, 29 to 1. Portuguese, 22
to 3. Buenos Ayres, 25 to 30. Brazilian, 78 to 80.
A novel method of raising the wind is reported in
the St. Petersburg Gazette, quoted from Berlin, under
date of Nov. 30. Three young merchants or shop-
keepers
of Mittau, wbo found themselves in embar-
rassed circumstances, projected en attempt to anima.
nate Baron de Stieglitz, the! wealthy Rusaian banker.
Their object was first to extort money, and then to
murder their victim. Fortunately the atrocious pro-
ject was discovered before it could be carried into
execution, and the criminals were arrested.
The governments of Saxe Weimar and Saxe Co-
burg, having engaged to advance jointly a million of
thalens to the Thuringian Hallway Company, propose
to raise the suns by an issue of paper money, which
is to be put into circulation on the Ist of May next.

TALLOW.—The market continue* firm, at 45e. 3d.
on the spot. There are now on the way from St. Peters-
burg 24,000 casks, but the greater part is for account of
affluent houses, who will not be forced to sell. Some may
be pressed on the market, and a decline of Gd. be the conse-
quence ; but much will depend upon the demand, which is
at present very good.

Heuterou' Dec. o.—The attendance at market to-day
was not largo for the season, owing, no doubt, to the heavy
rain in the early part of the day. We have no particular
alteration to remark. Dry Wheats and fine malting Bar-
leys maintained late prices, but other descriptions met dull
axle ; in Beans and Peas prices remain as l-ot week.

HtYLL, Dec. 7.-The transactions of the trade during the
past week have been very limited, but it closes with more
firmness than might have been expected from the business
of this day week. There was a good show of Wheat from
our farmers at this day's market, the condition of which was
somewhat affected by ths late soft weather; fine qualities ob-
tained fully last week'. rates. while anything inferior or
diuop was bad to sal. We had also a good supply of new
foreign Wheat, for which we had a decidedly hatter sale .11
last week's rates, except for low qualities, which were not so
good to quit. The prices made were 51s. to 533.; while for
1• choice lot of Upland wo made 635. 6d. More inqairy for
old foreign, without one being able to note any improvement '
in price. Barley has been much depressed, but the late low
prices attract attention: 28s. to 295. is the value of new
' Danish. Oats are Is. lower, and dull sale ; new arrivals
offering at 18s. to 20e. The market is pretty well cleared
of new Beans, which have been selling at 365. to 385.,
according to size and condition ; of Egyptians we have
a good supply. A good many Peas in the market, and the
article dull, at 40s. to 445., as in quality. The arrivals of
Linseed are small this week, and the market pretty well
cleared ; anything first-rate in quality is good to sell. For
Cakes we continue to have a brisk demand at full prices.
The quantity of foreign on sale is above the average of years.
Very little doing in Rapeseed ; a sale of Black Sea reported
at 164 per last. No inquiry for Rape Cakes. Rye Meal in
improved demand at late rates. Nothing doing in Guano,
but the article firmly held. Present prices: Wheat, red, 525.
te 61s. ; new, 645. to 665. ; white, 664 to 58s. ; new, 645. to
583.; Dantaie, 583. to 605.; Lower Baltic and Hamburg,
48.. to 543. Barley, malting, 30s. to 325.; grinding, 265.
to 28s. Oats, Danish, 17s. to DN. ; Raseien, 19s. to 21s.
Beans, 40e. to 428. ; foreign, 365. to 40s. Peas white and
yellow, 38.. to 425. Linseed, crushing, 40s. to Pea,
; feed-
ing, 50s. Rapeseed, per 10 qrs., 261. 10s. to 271. Linseed
Cakes, English, per ton, 111. 7s. 6d. ; foreign, 91. 10s. to
101. 10s. Rape Cakes, 120 s. Imports from the 27th Nov.
to the 3rd Dec., inclusive : Wheat, 1.396 qrs. Barley, 680 ;
Oats, 1,480 ; Beans, 2,884 ; Pens 631 • Tares, 68 ; Liu-
'seed, 906; Linseed Cakes, 285 ; Rape Cakes, 104.

Iratetun, Dee. 7.—The demand for both Wheat and Bar-
ley is to-day active, and the farmer may be noted 2s. per qr.
higher; the latter is. to 2.9. higher. The supply of Wheat
is little more than sufficient for the local millets. The sup-
ply of,,Barley is fair. But few &AE, offering; these are
'somewhat easier to buy.

LEEDS, Dec. 7.—We have fair snivels of Wheat, and part
samples from vessels below ; the show of Sac dry qualities is
small, and such readily fetch last Friday's rates, other de-
scriptions maintain their value. Barley scarce, and fully me
dear. Beans steady elle, without alteration in price. In
0 as, Shelling. and other articles very little variation. Ar-
rivals this week : Wheat, 8,712; Oats, 682; Barley, 1,062 ;
Beans, 661; Shelling, 22 ; Linseed, 142.
LEIGHTON BUZZARD, Dec. 7.—The supply of Wheat and
Barley wee shorter than of late; the former fully maintained
last week's rates, and in some instances an advance of le.
per load was obtained; the latter must be quoted Is. to 24.
per qr. dearer. Beans and Peas likewise maintain their
price. Wheat, per load of 5 bushels, 30s. to 33e. sd. Barley,
295. to 335. per imp. qr. Beans, old, 325. to 355. per 5 bush. ;
new, 255. to 28s. Peas, maple, 28s. to 30s.

LEWES, Dec. 7.—Wheat sold freely, as did also Barley
and Oats. Beans neglected. Peas were in fair demand, at
a reduction of 2s. per qr. Wheat, new, 121. to 131. ; red,
new, 111. 101. to 121. Barley, 309. to 33 Oats, 18s. to 20..
Beans, 365. to 423. Peas, 34,. to 365.

LIVERPOOI„ Dee. 7.-The arrivals into this port up to and
since Friday include for the week a moderate supply of
Wheat, Oats, end Flour, with a liberal quantity of Oatmeal
from Inland, and a few cargoes of Wheat, Beans, and In-
dim Corn from abrosd, so stated below. The country mar-
kets of last week, and that of London yesterday, having ex-
hibited a somewhat firmer tone than before, the decline hem
on Friday was fully recovered this morning, and superior
kinds of English, Irish, and foreign, meeting a fair demand,
rather exceeded the rates of Tuesday last. Choice fresh
brands of States and Canadian Flour find buyers, at late
prices, but such being scarce, and the parcels remaining un-
sold, chiefly composed of middling or stale qualities, sales
were not extensively made, and Irish receded Is.r sack.
Barley of all descriptions, and Malt continuedpe to rule
nearly the same as stated in the preceding repqrt. Beans,
upon a limited demand, must be noted ls. to 2.. per quarter
cheaper. In Peas no variation. Oats were again further
depressed in value, reducing our quotations ld. to 2d. per
451 b. under those of Tuesday last, but were rather more
saleable at the abatement. Oatmeal commanded a moderate
degree of attention, and sustained the decline above-men-
tioned. Although the arrivals of Indian Corn into Ireland
have decreased materially of late, the consumption is stated
to be proportionably diminished, and prices lower. To the
position of the trade for this article here, similar remarks are
applicable, the demand on both local and country account
having considerably abated; we hare to repeat, in conse-
quence of the decline of Friday, the best class samples scarcely
realising 365. • other kinds, 325. to 33e. per 4801 b., and
Corn Meal, f4s. fid. to 15s. 6d. per barrel. The fol-
lowing are the present prices: British: Wheat, per 701b5.,
