DONCASTER CORN MARKET.-APRIL 23.

There was an average show of wheat, but the probability
of war and the general election disturbs trade. White
wheat 6d per three bushels dearer, and better descriptions, of
red meet with a still readier sale, and oats and beans
unchanged. •
NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET.—APRIL 23.

Moderate supply of farmers' wheat, which finds ready
sale at an advance of is to 2s on the prices of this day
week. South country scarce, and held for 2s per quarter
more money, which checked sales. Foreign generally held
much above market value, and consequently nothing could
be done. Flour easier to sell, and is per sack dearer.
Malting barley : Not much done, and but last week's prices
obtained. Oats firm, but not brisk. Beans and peas met
more inquiry, and prices rather better.

GLASGOW IRON MARKET.—APRIL 23.
Nothing doing. No. 1,50 s 9d to 51s ' • warrants, 50s 9d
51s ; makers' iron, 50s 9d to 51s ; No. 3,50 s 9d to 51s.

THE TRANSATLANTIC BALLOON. - The arrangements
making ,by Mr. La Mountain for the manufacture of the
balloon with which he intends to cross the Atlantic are
rapidly progressing to completion. The twine from which
the network is to be 'made has been finished at the rope and
cordage manufactory at the Dam, and is the most complete
article of the kind ever made in this country. It had been
the intention Of Mr. La Mountain to build the balloon at
Lancaster, Pa., the home of Mr. Wise. Recently, however,
offers have been made to induce him to do the work here,
and he has it now in contemplation to procure a large room
at some convenient location, and proceed with the work.
He has not, as yet, fully determined upon this point. Mr.
0. P. Gager, of Boston, proprietor of the Bennington
Pottery, who has been connected with Mr. La Mountain in
this enterprise from' its inception, and who has the fullest
confidence in its success, has made a selection of a superior
quality of India silk, which will probably be employed in
the manufacture of the balloon. Mr. Elisha Waters, of
this city, is engaged in getting up an apparatus for main-
taining different degrees of altitude without wasting gas
or discharging ballast, which is to be attached to the car.
The enterprise begins to assume a tangible form.—Troy

AN UNNATURAL MOTHEL-At the court-house, Burnley,
on Tuesday, Margaret Blakey was brought up and charged
with having thrown her child, a girl two years of age, on to
the fire. The prisoner is a married woman, but did not
reside with her husband. On Monday night, about seven
o'clock, she went into the house where she and her child
lodged, in Finsley-gate, and inquired of the old man who
occupied the house what her husband had been saying about
her. He replied that her husband was for taking the child
from her. She swore he never should, she would put it on
the fire first. As soon as she had said this she seized the
child and put it on the fire. The old man rushed to the
fire, and rescued the child. In his evidence before the bench
he stated that he could not say whether the mother had hold
of the child when he dragged it from the fire, he thought
she might have, and his wife. had told him that she had.
The child is severely burnt on the back of its thighs, but not
dangerously. The mother was described as being in a very
excited state at the time, but whether she had been drinking
or not•did not appear. She had nothing to say in her
defence more than that she was quite "raging" at what her
husband proposed to do. The bench tentenced her to six
months' impi•lsonmcnt, with hard 14bour.
