STATE OF TRADE.

formably with • desire expressedilong mince by Mr. Timor, that the I
animal should be destroyed at his decease.
Snocittico ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon an inquiry was'
held at the Rose and Rim public-house, ‘Vhiteeross-street, South-
wark, before K. Colter, Esq. and a respectable Jury, touching the
death of John Wilton, who was unfortunately killed by the machi-
nery at the emery and black lead manufactory of Messrs. Taylor
and Sadler.

Previous to the evilence !being gone into, the Jury went to view
the body of the deceased, whose shattered remains presented an ap-
pall.ng spectacle. His heed was literally crushed to pieces, his
body was squeezed fist, and the round head of the right thigh-bone
MPS completely torn away from the ntytenlitm.
Mr. Taylor attended, and explained to tins Jury the manner in
which the deceased became entangled, and was much affected when
describing the occurrence. _ _

hours of five and sire on Tuesday afternoon. A leather strap con-
nected with that part of the engine canal a drum, having got im-
properly crossed, the deceased endeavoured to rectify it ; in doing
which havh.g placed his hand under, instead of above the stray. he
was int-faintly ilragved by the machinery to the drum and killed.
lEs right ann was first caught. and that his body. The engine was
lining at a great rate, and in a moment the deceased we carried
from the floor to the top of the apartment. Ile was focal round
nt least twenty times before the engine could be stopped. The
engine was stopped in about half a minute. The right thigh and
leg attached to it tell en the gerund es the machinery was going.
When the engine was stopped the remainder of the body fell down.
The head of the deceased was dreadfully crushed. Witness bad
frequently charged the strap. Ile never apprehended any danger
in rectifying the strap. Ile had seen the deceased al:er it Won:
the present accident.
ily the.lury—l have been about live years in the employ of
3lessrs. Taylor and Sadler. Several accidents have Grcurred by
the machinery ',ince that time. One woman lind her hard crushed,
and others were seriously injured. I never heard of any one losing
his life before.

farmer sum would be sufficient.

A Juror said that he was of opinion the larger turn would bi- of
more public benefit than the smaller, and it was the ibiav of a jury
to mark their sense of an injury sustained. like that of the deceased,
by imposing a considerable tine. The object of a deodand was, he
was inclined to believe originally, to induce caution.
The Coroner remarked that it was not nezcsrary to discuss the
latter proposition there. hut it would he foithel. it the inquiry were
pursued, that a deodand was intended, in t:mrs of monkish super-
stition, as a recompense to the pr:esta for praying the souls of
the deceased who had been suddenly deprived of life out of purga-
tory.

MARKETS.

(From the London e•x. Clarcut, Sept. 29.]
OlL—The Oil Market continues in a very agitated state, and
from the late highest pica a dcelme has taken placc. Southern
Oil, which bcen 38., sold a; public sale, on Wednesday. at
3s/. ; Greenland Oil, which had reached 381.„ was offered at 311/..
for arrival from the present Northern Fisheric. ; (lallipoli tram Mt/.
decline,i to 481. ; Spermaceti is still notoinaliy 62/., but that price
is not now offered.

SUGAR.—The Sugar Market has peen exceedingly heavy ; the
purchases train Titeslay till yesterday, inclusive, are not Lint
hhels.; and there appeara such a stagnation in the trade, that the
Prices, from the late highest rates. may he stated at a decline of
Is. 6d. a 2s. per rwt.; coloury Sugars. which formerly sold a:
a7s. 6d. and ogs. lu;v:ng been disposed of at ass. lid. ; the reduc-
tion is chiefly in the soft efigara ; the ()theta are from is. to ls. 6d.
lower. The stagnation in the sugar trade continues. The !tales at
the close of the day arc estimated not to exceed 300 casks. Ja.
maica and St. Lucia are ()tiered arum. lowest quotations. Though
the stock of relined goods is so verk much reduced, yet the trade is
languid ; and, Imm the late highen r oint, the reduction of price is
1.. and la. f,d. on the low goods, and :Is. 1/(1' cwt. on the fitter de-
scriptions; brown !mama have been slid at 78s. Int. in parcels,
but the general currency is still ; lintr
.coods arc !ewer in pro.
portion ; Wieser% are 261. a 2Gs. fal. The Refined M.,thet eon.
tinues in a very depressed state, and, with the exception of some
purchases of crushed, for the Mediterranean (rt;ther extensive), the
business is trivial. Lumps 765. thl.; fine good: neglected. Mo-
!steel heavy at 261. Foreign Sugars could be ptire•aved lower, but
there are few on sale, and generally they are held wit') firmness.
fIOPS.--Hops are again lower to-day ; Sussex, 701. to COs.;
Kent, ttOn. a 905.: duty 263,000/.
II E3IP, FLAX, end TALLOW.—The Tallow AlarlN is tdill
subject to great fluctuation ; the yellow Candle Tallow had reachml
395. Cl.. and this afternoon 394.; in one instance, we believe,
385.9 d. In Hemp or FI3X there was no material alteration.
C000.1.--By public sale yesterday Mimeo Brazil. Cocoa said ;
the nod quality 425. and 425. 6d.
IRISH PROVISIONS.—The Government Contract was taken
on Tuesday last by one eminent Irish house, 9,1100 casks Provi.
sions, Peel and Pork, all at 6/. I2s. 6d. as at first reported, the
other efrers were Cl. 15a. Cd. up to 7/. Zs. It has since been ru-
moured that the price is still lower than at tint represented ; but, as
it rests with one house, the actual price can with difficulty be
traced. The market has since been exceudingly heavy. The that
delivery for the contract is in February next. Bacon is without
alteration ; Butters continue heavy on account of the favourable
weather.

fia:—There is no alteration in the prices of Tea.
_ _

SPICES.—East India Spices treliiaey and lower. Pimer,to
maintains the late prices, Nil. a Ild. 377 hags Barbadoes
by public sale yesterday, 56:. a fils. At a late hour to-day the best
Nutmegs were forced off st 3s. Ithi. per lb.
TOBACCO.—The purchresei of '1 are confined to small
parcels to the trade and for export ; some good black Virginia 64d.;
Maryland Scrubs 31d. At n late hour to-day a parcel of middling
Virginia was taken for export at dld.
INDIC/O.—The demand for Indigo continues considerable; on
Wednesday 400 chests, chiefly of tile middling quality, were re-
ported to he dispoted of; the prices were little varied. The ac-
counts from India yesterday still state a great deficiency in the
Indigo crop.

CoFFDE.—The Coffee Market on Tuesday last gave way Is. a
2s. per cwt.. and the reduction facilitated tu.lett to a considerable
extent, but the market yesterday appeared to become very heavy at
the reduction, and a considerable proportion of the Coffee was taken
in, there being few buyers. The two public sales to-day, 574 casks
Jamaica and Dutch, went off heavily, and graerally la. a 2s. lower;
middling Jamaica 74k. and
73..; tow middling Ws. a 705.; tine
tine ord. 03a. a Qs. Dutch good ordinary 60s. a fi3s. By private
contract lair quality St. Domingo .10s.

E.AST INDIA TRADE.—The panic in the iloney Market
in England appears to have had a corresponding effect in India.--
The advices received from Calcutta to the middle of slay, and
from Bombay to the 17th June, state that the bowies of the first se.
spixtability were borrowing money at the rate of 15 to 20 per cent.
per annum, and money was so scarce that with Company's paper
lodged it was taken 10 up to 15 per cent. The crep of Indigo had
idled to a very serious extent.

•
RUM, BRANDY, and HOLLAND F.—The Rum Market has
been very heavy all the week, the sales reported are Jamaica 30 over
at 3s. lid., Leewards 7 over at 2s. tel., 6 over at 2s. 4d., roof's at
2s. 3d.. and one parc.:l at 2s. 20.; Brandy sold in smalparcels at
a small reduction ; the stock of Geneva is so inconsiderable that
we cannot quote any regular Market prices. There is rather more
demand for Runt to-May, particularly for wolf qualities.
FRUIT.—The demand continues very limited ; the first cargo
of New Muscatels, Jordan Almonds, and Grapes, arrived on Wed.
neqr,v, and was ;IA to public sale this forenoon.
COTTON.—The advance we stated at the India house Sale on
this day week appears to pare checked the demand; the Market
elm, has been heavy, though the prices hare been nearly maintained.
It is probable the prices here would have given way had not the
accounts from Liverpool and from the manufacturing districts been
so very fmrourahle. The Cotton trade has greatly changed this
morning; the Market, which had been previously heavy, became
brisk, on account of the favourable accounts from Liverpool and
Manchester ; the prices are this morning id. to id. per lb. higher,
and Cottons of the late India Mime sale have been disposed of at
this advance; the sales to-dayup to a late hour were about 1000
bags, chiefly Egyptian.

CORN-EXCIIA NOE, SEPT. 29.
Our suppli” this week consist of 3,070 Sacks of Flour, 2,840
Quarters of Wheat, 1170 Quarters of Barley. 274 Quarters of Eng-
lish and 13,800 Quarters of foreign Oath. The Wheat trade ruled
very heavy tmelay. though not cheaper for fine samples than on
Monday. What fine Maiting Barley was 'at Market fully sup-
ported Monday's prices. We had a tolerably brisk sale for Oats
this morning, and In some instaners an advance of lid. per quarter
was obtained on the currency of Monday. Beans fully maintained
Monday's l r:ccs, anti Pease may be noted rather dearer.

SMITHFIELD, FRIDAY/ REPT. 29.
The market is but scantily supplied with Beef this morning;
and the quantity continuing to he very inferior, the greater part of
it will remain unsold. The price for the hest Beasts is Ls. per
stone, but the value of the other sons can scarcely be named.
Mutton is also short in supply, and meets a heavy sale at 4s. 4d.
The Lamb season being so near its close, there is little or no the-
mend for it. There is a good supply of Veal, but the trade is
heavy at 40. Bd. for the very bat. Pork keeps its former quota-
tion.

surely improving. Our commercial market, on Ttles:lJ%
confirmed all we said in the last Thtrstlay's
gcod tidings are echoed from tile press in every
manufacturing district. Wages, it is true, continue, ie
many trades. very low indeed ; but low wages have rah,

disturbance has taken place amongst the turn-out spinner,
from Messrs. lluglus's factory, who not only rtiseted ti..

who thought half a loaf was better than nones viral eon-
victions for assaults, &c. have taken place of these people be-
fore the magistrates, and we understand the remainder are
more peaceable. Trade here continues steadily though s!owls

MONTHLY REPORT OF eitErai.rxr DISEASES.—Ca.v.
of diarrhoea, which were very frequent during the Iv
three months, began to disappear in proportion as the hear
of the weather atiatcd, and few casts are now to be met
with. Continued fevers have, however, become so freouent
as almost to constitute an epidemic, and in numerous in-
stances the disease has assumed a severe form. The prin-
cipal circumstance worthy of notice is the occurrence el
gangrene or slow,hing in a considerable proportion of cases.
We have seen this in the upper part of the air-passages, in
the posterior fauces and pharynx, and in the bowels; while
in onc instance a large carbuncle formed on the face. It is
:tiniest unnecessary to observe that these occurrences have
been extremely unfavourable: in most cases, indeed, their
existence has only been discovered by rsbauortt'm exsmi-
nation. The comparatively greater prevalence of contittuet:
fever at present than during the preceding part of the sea-
' eon cannot be viewed without some anxiety, when taken
' in conjunction with tile epidemic which has made its aps
pearance in Dublin. The only other charge in the pre-
vailing diseases, which is of su(cient importance to merit
attention, is the increasing number of chronic rheumatic
affections ; the weather having been wet during a cnnsider-
eile portion of the present month, and the nights cote.
The frequency of scarlatina and measles is on the decrease:
hut we have seen a considerable number of cases of tinail-
pox.—Londoi Mee/keel Journal for Ori.
CORONRR'S INQUESTS IN LANCAStfillf.—ln the course
of twelve months, namely, from June, 1823. to dime in the
