The WRECK OF THE ROYAL ADELAIDE STEAMER.
—The robbery of the general post letter bop, belonging to
tie Leadeshalletreet walk, yesterday morale', deprived
Mr. Hanky, the mover of the City of Dublin Steen Na-
vigation Company, of all advice+ coacieraii g the loss of the
Dilated steamer, the whole of the couipsay's inters having
bees carried of by the thieves. From oilier sources we
learn that no lur.her bodies have been washed ashore, thoush
many have been picked up by wreckers, who have flocked
round the vicinity of the Tongue Bands site* the night of
the wreck, and having striped them of what property they
had on, nes eosaitted then to the deep. N,lted bodies of
nea and WOlllllll have been pared in the channel by the
vessels that have arrived in the river dating the last three or
four days. Two or three vessels have been wind by the
anus, hawks property mutinied on board, evidently
pluadered fro. the wreck of the Nryal Adelaide. At pre-
'eat the easepany have been usable to Neenah' the number
of (wadies kit destitute by this dreadful neat—they are
supposed to be ennediagly nuasrens. A sabseriptios his
bona opened at seammi banking satehiliehnients la the City,
to alleviate, in a asseare, the salt Hass of the helpless and
destitute creatures, and no doubt it will be immediately
isiaded to. Mr. Hartley, tie /manager of the einapany,
will also gladly receive essitributioiss, at the offices is Leaden-
ball street.

ACCIDENT.—A most distressing accident
essurred at Exmouth on Tunday last. Capt. H. C. Elwin,
late of the 12th Foot, was riding, scoompamW by his son, a
boy about nine years of age, when, on turning a corner, the
child's pony becks into a gallop end ma away, and wee im-
mediately followed by the other horse. The pony was pulled up
before going very far ; bat Capt. Him's, from frequent disks.
mions of the shoulder by fells while hantirg, had neatly lost
all strength in his left sun, sad was unable to restraia his
horse, which galloped on towards the town at a furious
rate. On coming to a comer house closely surrounded by as
Iron rail, the animal j.mmped ov. r the railing. knocking his
rider against the corner, who rebounded sad fell heavily ea
the spikes' one of which deeply penetrseed the right arm,
and soother the thigh ; some ribs a/so were broken. Capt.
Ellie., though quite sensible, was unable to move off the
spikes, but was quickly lifted from his perilous position, and
conveyed to • shop rime to the pace sad immediately
attended to by two medial men. Having been conveyed
home, he died at as early boar on Saturday morning.
THE MURDER NEAR NEWPORT.—Oa Sunday night
M. Murphy and P. Sullivan were apprehended in a low
lodging home in ChelNinham, charged with the murder of
Jess Lewis, the discovery of whose tedy was announced
in Saturday's Egprest The priboners, who seem very de.
tensiaed characters, left Cheltenham in custody of the police,
a' three o'clock yesterday morning, for Newport, where
they will be sneaked before the magistrates. Information
has alce been received that the same men have boss con-
tented fa an almost equally appalling transaction.

two ruffians, and severely beaten, the crown of his head

ceipt stamp, and other alleles which they found on hla per-

unable to speak since, and lies in a most precarious state.
BRUTAL CONDUCT.—Oa Monday last, two men
named Edward Crass sad Thomas 0,11, proceeded to a
hill side on the estate of Itenabb, parish of Maugbold, for
the purpose of preening a bundle of heather for the
making of brooms ; while thus engaged the proprietor of
the premises observed them, and remarked that
he should quickly maw them remove their quarters. IA
accordance with this determination, be at OWN it.,t fire to the

dry forts and heather, directly antler the plan where the
poor men were imago/ as above tamed. Taw fire spread
with great fury, and it was only by rolling himself down
the brow of the hill, and Islas, over the edge of the pricipioe
into the river underneath, that Gall escaped, whilst his un-
fortunate oompsaica, who was a pensioner, aged 80 years,
sad quit* a cripp/e, was left is his helpless stela a prey to

It will be observed that the differeece fa the supplies of
home grows wheat sad barley is sot material. In the
arrivals of English oats and fiber there is a considerable
Increase ; whilst the receipts of all kinds of foreign predate
hays been much smaller than in the correeponding quarter
last year, which has no doubt bola pertly seamed by*,
seventy of the winter.
Thoegh no material increase has taken place is the
deliveries of wheat from lour owe growers, end the supplies
of the settee from abroad have been 'oily nisderate the
trade has lout the arm time by whisk it was eliareeterisid the
last week or two la March : sad not only has the upward
movement is priers been sleeked, but a reaction to the
extent of about in. per qr. bee takes place at weevil of the
leading provincial markets held Mao. Monday. This has no
doubt been caused put', by the dull replete from Mark-
bee ; thottith we are inclined to attribute it more to the pre-
vailing bekef that the supplies from the farmers will,
stow that the towing of spring earn is .early completed,
bemuse Erre liberel. The clump fa die weather has also
had mere or less effect, the rise which has takes plea in the
temperature, sad the showers which have fallen within the
last few days having stimulated vegetation, sad imparted a
springlike appearance to the country. Inieed, there is
sobbing in the pretest p seition of affair., except the lowness
of prime, to entourage punka! ere to take mote than they
require for immediate use, and there is conseqaeutly a
mend unwillingnem to hold stocks. The importations,
kam abroad may, perhaps, sot be very large during the
newt swath sr two, but we are likely to have regular 1
arrivals from one qui/rinser the other ; sad as there is now
se inducement to store all that comes to band will probe-
bly be somewhat pea singly offered from on board ship ;a '
very small increase in the home supplies might thersicre
have the effect of still further reducing quotations.
Our Becton letters inform us that a similar change bad
takes place is the weather in that part of the country to
that experienced is the souls. All kinds of spring labour
ste described as well advanced, and the appearance of the
autumn-sowa Wheat is favourably spoken of. The trade in
gnia was dull as well at Edinburgh as at Glasgow, on Wed-
nesday, sad previous prier; were barely =detained.
In Ireland geed soppltes ears cod pensems Amor io
have been brought forward, which, with the dull ampules
from this side of the Channel, had caused a small decline in
prices. The planting of potatoes was being actively pro.
seeded with, sad a larger breadth will be cultivated than has
bees the case dace 1846.
The arrivals of wheat coastwise Into the port at London
hey. been very small during the week ; but this may have
been partly caused by the boisterous state of the weather,
having dining the last few days had heavy gales from the
westward, which mast have rendered it difficult for the boys
to work up the river. Mmuwlnle there have been few offers
free se board from the east ross_,•• and the *hos. at Meek-lane
by land carriage samples from E•ses and Kent having also
been trifling, needy buyers have had to pay former terms.
The transactions on Wednesday were of a strictly retell scale,
but the few lots exhibited were held at rates fully equal to
those carnet in the beginning of the week. On Friday the
miller seemed even less inclined to buy than Wore, and
with little or so increase in this arrivals, toles were made with

coneiderable difficulty at previous pilaw, and the market
closed very languidly.
The supply of wheat from abroad hu been moderate ; still
the quantity offered from on board ship halt proved more
than utile eat for the demand, the country inquiry having
been of the most retail character.

The nominal top quotation for flour has undergone so
change. Country flour, unless very fresh and good, hes
hung heavily on head, sad the sale far foreign has likewise
been slow.

The quantity of English barley brought forward hat been
trifling; and though the seed demand bes now in a great mea-
saes subsided, and some of the malsten begin to talk or discon-
tinuing work, still the 'ow lots of fine malting quality which
have appeared ►ave been plait Al at prices similar to those
current on Monday last.
The business dons is malt has bean of a retail character,
but holders have not premed sales ; and former tense have
been steadily supported.
The supplies of Gate from our own coast and Scotland bays
tales off, and the reeMpts from abroad have been lee • pleat!.
ful than before.

English beau have tome forward 'Daringly riace Monday,
sot. itt standing which they have sold with didieulty at the
rates then current

—P, as hays cached vanilla* attention, and have not varied
In vales.

The inquiry for fluting comes of Indian earn has rather
revived ; hat, owing to the high pretensions of holders, little
or Ito business Me bees dome.
