DZAD BODY POUND IN A SEWER AT

BRIGHTON.

A man, named Thomas Young, a servant, accom-
panied by another man, named William Pruden, about a
quarter to seven on Thursday morning, were on their way
to the beach, from the Marine-parade, when, at the bottom
of Burlington-street, their attention was directed to •
brown paper parcel lying in a drain under the cliff, which
conveys the surplus water into the sea. Young proceeded
to get the parcel out of the drain, when, ea it appeared that all
was not quite right, • police-constable was alled to the spot.
The brown paper was removed, then came • piece of cane
calico, and then • blue check apron, and then—a mast hoe,
riblesight —the naked body of a male child in a frightfully
emaciated conditioo. The policeman, with the &mutants of
another constable, immediately pro ceded with the
body to the town-hall, from whence It was re-
moved to the dead-house in Little East-street. The
poor boy was apparently about six years of ap ;
he had light brown hair and was bald on the top of his
head ; on the left hip was • large sore completely raw,
which appeared to have been caused by continually lying on
one place ; the back from the 'boulders to the loins was
also raw, the bone protruding in several places ; several
teeth in the front part of the lower jaw were gone ' • on the
back was • portion of • bandage ; and the limbs and the
body itself were nothing but skin and bone. The body bad
not been laid out in soy way, the limbs were in • cramped
state, and the body altogether was in • dirty, filthy condi-
tion, and covered with vermin. The police have made
the must strenuous exertions to ascertain the family to
which the deceased child belonged, but at pre-
sent they have been unsuccessful. A man named
Thomas Crossfield, living at 31, Emir-street, was in
the drain in question on Tuesday, and he positively
asserts that the body was not there then ; he was also near
the spot on Wedneaday, but he cannot state on oath that it
was not there thee. The general impression in the town is
that the deceased came by his death by foul means, and that
the. persons who canoed it made use of this means of dis-
posing of the body, fearing, if they applied to the parish to
bury him, an inquiry would be made into the circumstances
attending the death.

MARKETS.

TALLOW.

(Prom the Circular of Messrs. erw ell, Brooks, and Co.,
dated Friday Evening.)
The tallow market has continued very firm, with an
upward tendency, during the week, and we have to note a
further improvement of 6d. to 9d. per cwt. for Y.C. in all
positions, hence to the end of March, when compared with
rates current last Friday. We have, for some time pail,
anticipated the 'present position of the market, and in our
report of the 17th August we ascribed the dulness that then
'listed, to " an evident desire in some quarters to unduly
depress prices for the time;" we also stMed that " there
was no new feature of a bona tide character to warrant an
expectation that lower prices would permanently rule," at
the same time we ventured to draw the attention of con-
sumers to certain influence@ that we regarded as being
in favour of higher priors. The sequel has since
proved that the view we thou took was correct,
paces, in the interim, having steadily and we may my, un-
interruptedly advanced, present quotations being A. 6d. to
34. higher than were then current. We are deposed to
think that those persons who have anticipated lower prices
based their views in the expectation that the large stock on
band, and the certainty that supplies from St. Petersburg
would be much *love on average, and produce that result.
Past experience has shown us, however, that the market is
not always governed by supply and demand. The Moscow
speculators, we should observe, have continued to he the
principal holder's (it is stated that they hold about 29,000
casks of the present stock) and it is reported that they
have been buying in this market for forward delivery ; home
the available stock may continue to be, as it
hem been for some time pest, comparatively small.
To-day the neaket lee been very firm, mad the following
are current quotations for Y. C., via.:-535. 9d. for tine
tallow on the spot ; 535. trd. for delivery in all the your ;
545. to Ste. Sd. for December only i and 545. 6d. per owt.
forJaisuary to March. The imports since Monday up to
last evening have been 1,847 casks. The deliveries have
been 1,465 Leaks, and the present stock of all kinds is
45,080 casks, being au increase of 418 casks, when compered
with the quantity on hand this day week Town melted
has bees held with much firmness during the week. To-day
" the letter price" advanced Is. &L making tho present
quotation 565. Od.—or say 545. per cwt. net.
In the absence of public Islas this week we have merely
to entitle to what hes been passing privately:
South American of fine quality uu the spot has been sold
at 53a. W. to 545. 3d. Early in the week 50 pipes were
sold for arrival, at 535. &L, but more recently 54a. per cwt.
is reported to have been refused for about 450 pipes.
Australian has been in request, but in the absence of
stock landed we have no sales to report. Fine mutton
may be quoted 54e. 6d. ; and fine beef tallow, 525.
per cwt.
Cocoa nut 01l continues very firm. Fine Cochin sells
at 50e. to 50e. CkL ; and Ceylon, at 48a. to 484. CA per
out

Aden oil Is far from active, and quotations are unaltered.
South American horse pease has Leen sold for arrival ;
my 50 pipes at 42a. and 200 to MO pipes (not expected to
arrive until December), at a price that has not transpired.
Siam the amval of the River Plate Mail, there have been
sellers, but no buyers, et 41s. per cwt.

SUGAR.—The average pica of brown or Mureovado

exclusive of the duties of customs. —N., return of brown
or Muscovado suer the piodure of the Mauritius.—No
return of Buser the produce of the Feet 181185.
Baum., OCT. s.—We have bad rsther more business
doing this week, and parcels suitable to the righters have
been taken off freely at full rata to .l. advance on the
latest sales ; grocery parcels sell slowly ut fiXllllof ClUOillo-
tiOOL Reamers' produce in greater demand, and sales
resclily effected at 6d. to ls. on List week's pikes. Rum—
Demerara, ls. 111. proof pillow

COTTON.—Livertrooi, OCr. s.—The business transacted
daily during the week has been of a very extensive clm•
carter' but upon the whole the supply has continued equal
to the demand ; in cousesiuence however of the great drain
upon the market, buyers find it difficult to operate except
at a tribe higher prices, more especially in the goodordinary
and low middlintiliwees of AflidtlCllll. There is more die.
to panties buy ptian with increased firmness. Brasil
has partaken t • activity, and prices exhibit • alight
adv:mce ; all classes of buyer have operated Wan tinnly
bale extent in Hunt; the elm prove the larlest upon
record in any one week, and mast qualities are to 4d.
per lb. higher. flpeculittors have taken 17,030 American,
90 Egyptian, and 15,520 flunit ; and there are reported for
export, 2,1120 American, 30 Bo ptian, and 7,0110 Burst.
The business to-day is likely to reach 10,000 bake, including
2,000 ou speculation and export, closing at firm prices.

COTTON 000 DR. —MANcnorrsit, OR. 6.—The &n-
-esse of the Liverpool cotton market and the heavy demand
for cloths at the does of List week bare tended very mach

to strengthen the market There is not touch business in
India goods at present, but stacks are reduced iir cleared
olt with orders in advance, and they are steady at the ad-
vance of lid. reported on Tuesday. In T cloths the prin-
cipal demand is for weights of edb. and upwards, but there
is a firm market far all kinds ofd omestics, including beavy
makes. Printers command very fall rates, but there is leas
business than last week. Yana gc, off freely, and buyers
for home consumption and for shipping to the Continent
have purchased with lees hesitation, at the advance of
per lb. obtained on Tuesday. India yarns are rather
slow of sale.

TlMBER.—Lrvatroot., Ocr. s.—Means. A. P. and D.
Mackay, of Liverpool, in their timber circular of
this d►te, remark :—Within the laid fortnight a
large import, of wood has arrived, many of the deck-
loaded fleet having come into port, sod consequent on this
a slight slackness in the market has beau occasioned by the
appearance of an exams of stock, although in reality there
hes been no such influx as to give reasonable ground for
believing that this state of matters will be more than tem-
porary. The demand from cousunicra is of such a cluiracter
as to induce the belief that good timber of most kinds
will meet with remunerative wile. if the quantities landed
be not so extensive as to muse glut. Parties in the colo-
nies therefore will consult their own interest by keeping •
moderately tight rein upon shipments, as, if these continuo
moderate, a fair amount of legitimate business may be rein.
notably expected : if, on the other hand, the quantities
placed on the market be excessive, sad sales forced, a de-
pression of prices must inevitably follow, to the detriment
of thaw who have yielded to the temptation of • too easily
excited hope of affecting large sales and good prim by
being early in the market.

CORN.--CHELMSFORD, OCT. s.—There was a better
show of wheat at market today, and all the best qualities
were taken at an advance of ls. per qr., red making 545. to
645. ; cant, 665. • white, 60s. to Eris. Barley—but little
offering, as malting has scarcely commenced ; greit coin.
plants arise of it. glowing very unkindly for malting pur
poses ; what was sold feed 38n to 455.

LINCOLN, Ocr. s.—We have hid a rather larger supply
of wheat offering to-day, a great portion of which, however,
was of low quality, and of such wretched condition as to
be quite unfit for milling purposes. The better class of
samples met ready sale at last week's prices. A fair supply
of barley. Wheat, red, new, 565. to 645. ; old, 675. ;
new, 565. to 70s. ; old, 71s. Barley, 345. to 430.

Lrviirooi, Ocr. s.—We have had a fair attendance of
millers and dealers at our Corn Exchange title morning, and
a moderate consumptive business has been done in wheat at
the late advance. Flour attracted rather more at-
attention, and many parcels were held for a further 6d.,
maktniprices about Is. per sack and banal over this day
se'nn' t. Indian corn was in good request, and closed
fully . per qr. over Friday last. Old oats and oatmeal
are without alteration, but new being more plentifully
offered are rather lower. Beans have improved 6d., and
peas and barley each le. per qr. ou tI or week. The market
closed very firm, but scarcely so act re as of late.
Weimar.% Ocr. s.—There was not much grain in
supply, but the wheat trade was quiet, sellers demanding
is. to 2s. advance. Good dry barley at last week's rates ;
inferior rather cheaper and difficult of sale. Beans fully as
dear. In oats and shelling no material change. Averages
of the week ending Oct. 1 :—Wheat, 2,106 qrs., at 61s. 5d.;
barley, 263, at 44. 50.
