LIVERPOOL PRODUCE MARKET.—SATURDAY.
(Written expressly for the Northery Daily Times.)
As usual on Saturday, the produce markets have been par-
tially closed, but there continues a good demand for SUGA.R,
and although the sales are not generally reported, yet we
hear that 8.)0 bags of dates have been taken, at 32s to 32s 9d
and a cargo (13,000 mats) has been sold afloat, but the exact
terms have not transpired. Some sales have also been made
in SALTPETRE. With these exceptions little has been done.
CorroN—This has been a quiet day in the cotton market,
the sales not exceeding 5,000 bales, of which about 1,000 have
been taken for speculation and export. There was no
change in prices.

A child was burned to death in Belfast, on Thursday last,
having been left in a room without any guardian.
On Friday another collision occurred on the Great North-
ern Railway, at Crosby, near Carlisle. Damage was done
to the carriages, but no life lost. . _

THE EMIGRATION RAGE.-A young girl named Bridget
Conry was brought up at the Dublin police-office for having
stolen 81. from her uncle, in Roscommon. When taken, she
was en route to America.

A few days since, Thomas Wilson, a seaman on board the
Prince of Wales, at Belfast, had his foot injured by the
machinery, and it has in consequence been amputated in
port.
GLASGOW AND BRISTOL.—Steam communication is about
to be established between Clyde and Bristol. Two screw
steamers, the Brigand and Corsair, will be placed on the
station early in January.
AN INCORRIGIBLE.— A shoemaker, named Hugh Grant,
who has been fifteen times previously convicted of assaults,
was again convicted on Friday, at the Eastern police-court,
Glasgow.
THE " GLASGOW." —The accident to this steamer, which
occurred on Thursday evening last, as she left for New York,
at the tail of the Bank, Clyde, will not lead to serious de-
tention. A seaman, named Sloane, was dro.vned.
SCARCITY OF SEAMEN.—A letter from Qaebec to Glasgow,
dated Nov. 23d, says :—" There are now in this port, ready
to sail, at least 45 vessels, 40 of which are not yet loaded.
Sailors' wages are £22 10s., cash d,,wn in silver, the moment
the vessel's anchor is weighed."
SUSPICIOUS CASE.— On Saturday the body of a man with
part of his clothes and his hat on, was found buried within
a few inches of the surface of Saintfield church yard, near
Belfast. The inhabitants speak of a rich horse-dealer who
disappeared suddenly about 14 years ago, and was supposed
to have been murdered.

LAUNCH AT GREENOCIL—At twelve o'clock on Thursday,
a remarkably fine iron two-masted screw steamer was
launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Scott and Com-
pany, Cartsdyke. She was named the Amalfi, and is the
property of the Steam Navigation Company of the Two
Sicilies. The Amalfi is 620 tons, and will be driven by
two engines of 120 horse power : and she is intended to ply
between Naples and other Mediterranean ports.—North
British Mail.

Lloyd's agents have received information that a vessel is
on shore on Hartley Baits. The crew is saved. The bottom
of a vessel has come ashore among the rocks near South
Shields this morning, but there is every reason to believe it
belonged to a clipper vessel named the Admiral, which got
A
ashore near Marsden about a week ago, and which must have
been dislodged from the sand and driven north by the gale
of last night.

stench arising from the burning some time after led the in-
mates of the house to examine the room, where they found
the unfortunate man lying on the fire frightfully roasted.
He was removed on Sabbath to the hospital belonging to
the New Monkland poorhouse, where he lies in a hopeless
state.—N. B. Mail.

AWKWARD BLUNDER.—The parties interested in two
events, of which it was of importance to give notice to the
public as about to take place—one a sermon, and the other
the sale of a soda water machine—had placards duly pre-
pared last Saturday in Greenock, and entrusted to the same
hero of the paste brush for distribution, part of whose duty
it was to enclose one of the sermon bills to the ministers in
town, to be announced at the close of the afternoon service.
The bills being alike in size, he did not distinguish with suf-
ficient cuteness between them, and a sale bill was handed up
and duly opened by one of the ministers just before the bene-
diction, but he wisely glanced his eye over it before begin-
ning to read, and so avoided the awkwardness which must
have followed.—North British Mail.
SINGULAR AND SUDDEN DEATH OF A FARM LABORER.—
On Thursday evening, Mr. Rutter, one of the coroners for
the county, held an inquest, at Boothstown, near Worsley,
on view of the body of John Hall, a farm labourer, 30 years
of age, residing at Redford, whose death took pace under
the circumstances narrated below :—At two o'clock on
Tuesday afternoon, the deceased ascended a hay stack, in a
field at Boothstown, for the purpose of cutting some hay,
taking with him his cutting knife. On reaching the top, he
found that the hay was loose, and on trying to get up his
knife fell to the ground. ' Unfortunately, the knife fell with
the blade upwards, and immediately afterwards the deceased
also fell upon the knife, by which one of his thighs was
nearly severed. Blood flowed from the wound most pro-
fusely, and the poor man died in a few minutes afterwards.
Verdict—Accidental death. The deceased has left a widow
and one child.
THE EASTERLY GALE.—TYNESIOUTH, FRIDAY, NOON:
A fearful gale of wind from the east broke over the coast of
Northumberland yesterday afternoon, and the sea rose with
tremendous violence. The storm has raged all night. For-
tunately there were but few vessels on the coast, the prin-
cipal portion of the colliers that left here a week ago having
found a shelter either in Leith roads or the Humber two or
three days before. A little brig named the Sylph, in taking
Tynemouth bar, was overwhelmed in a tremendous sea, and
for a short time it was thought she was gone, with her crew,
to the bottom ; but shortly she reappeared, though evi-
dently in a disabled condition—she unshipped her rudder
and nearly filled her with water. The South Shields lifeboat
immediately put out to her assistance, and got to her just as
she was approaching the dangerous reef named the " Black
Middens,' the crew being in a helpless condition in the fore-
rigging, and in danger every moment of going down with
the sinking ship. The South Shields pilots in the lifeboat,
fortunately, grappled the forepart of the vessel, and her crew
ware enabled to drop from the bowsprit of the vessel into
the lifeboat, and were saved. The vessel drove in among the
reeks near the " Old Priory" shortly afterwards, and this
morning hardly a vestige of her remains.

MARRIAGE OF A YOUNG WOMAN TO HER SISTER.-11l
the small village of J—h, on the borders of this county,
there lives a young man, Mr. S—, who has, for the last
four or five years, been courting a young woman, Miss
F—, who teaches a school fur Miss C-- in that neigh-
bourhood. The two young people had agreed to get mar-
ried, but the young woman's father and the groom expec-
tant differed as to the amount of dowry she was to receive,
and the match was broken off. Previous to this, however,
an improper intimacy had been carried on between the
parties, from which Miss F— proved enciente, and was,
a few days since, delievered of a child, and from shame, or
fear of being expelled the school, she and her friends set
their wits to work, and with what effect you may imagine,
when I tell you that, a few weeks previous to her confine-
ment, an elder sister, disguised as a young man. and having
flannel round her jaws, with the heroine of the tale, started
off to the Registrar's office where the elder sister personi-
fied the absent lover—and the indissoluble knot was tied
Subsequently, W. S having heard it rumored through
the country, that at such a time and place he had been united
in the bonds of matrimony, with the object of his early affec-
tion, proceeded to make inquiry at the ttegistrar's office, and
found that a couple of the same name had been married at
the time stated.. Upo . further interrogating the Registrar,
he was informed that the young man had flannel round his
jaws, and that upon the Registrar having asked the groom
why he had so lung delayed getting married, he stated that
it was on account of his having had a sore throat. Miss
F , however, has since confessed the deception played
off upon the Registrar; and Mr. S having been ad-
vised to get married to Miss F in reality, replied with
a heartlessness that must be reprehended, that she, having
been irrevocably united already, he thought the sister had
the best right to her, and that he did not wish to commit
bigamy. The matter has caused considerable amusement
with gossips in the neighborhood, and is likely to afford em-
plByment to the gentry of the long robe. as Miss F
intends bringing an action of damages for seduction.—Nor-
thern Whim.
