in some inbtartces an advance of la per quarter is ob-
tained, particularly on the best new English. The
demand for taalting and grinding barley is good, at
slightly enhanced rates. Oats attract rather more at-
tention, and old Irish are 6d per quarter dearer. Beans
command very full prices. Lentils are saleable at 12s
6d per 1961b5..
GLAsanw, OcT. 13.—A partial change of wind has
permitted sore e further arivals of oats and meal from
Ireland, and the supplies of wheat and barley coastwise
are to a fair extent; 4,289 barrels ofiflour have also ar-
rived from Ca:nada. During the week there has been a
good demand for wheat, and sales to some extent have
been made at an advance of 6d per boll. Flour has
also sold freely, and at better prices. Barley and beans
are very firm, but at no fresh advance. Having expe-
rienced an imp roved demand for oats prices have latterly
advanced quite 3d per boll for new, and old are held
with firmness at a similar advance. Oatmeal is Is per
load dearer. At this day's market there was an active
demand for wheat and flour, at a further advance of 3d
per boll and la per sack and barrel. New oats, being in
limited supply, sold freely at an advance of 3d to 6d on
last week's rates. Barley, beans, and peas brought full
prices. _ _

LEITH, OCT. 13.—We are still without foreign ar-
rivals. We were very liberally supplied with all grain
by our own fanners for this day's market. Wheat was
again is per quarter dearer for all dry parcels, and
what were suitable for seed, secondary samples were the
turn in favour of sellers; holders of foreign in the ab-
sence of:arrivals were very firm in their demands, which
we estimate to be fully is per qr beyond our late cur-
rency. Barley found buyers at a further advance of 6d
to is per quarter, still country markets are dearer for the
article than we are, counting usual charges; no foreign
on sale. Oats were difficult of disposal at a decline of
6,1 to is per quarter. Beans barely maintained their
value. White peas scarce and quite as dear.
NANTES, OCT. B.—The weather has been very unfa-
vourable during the week ; since Sunday up to yester-
day it was exceedingly stormy, and almost continuous
rain. The cloverseed is reported to have have suffered
se►erely by the wet. There is little change to note in
the market. None of the new crop is in good enough
condition for shipment. The demand still continues for
good old wheat, which is rather dearer. The stocks of
Flour are rapidly increasing; and the millers seem more
disposed to sell tha❑ for some time back, but their pre-
tensions are still too high to admit of purchases for the

English market, At to-day's market there was very
little grain off. red, and. pzioes were firm at our quotations.
Freights continue low.
_PRICES CURRENT METALS.—The upward tendency of
the iron market has been firmly maintained this week,
and very extensive operations have taken piece in pig
iron at improving prices. The Into succoseive advances
in the price of English iron have excited the surprise of
parties who have not watched this market and its sur-
rounding influences with sufficient attention, and who
le,se perhaps paid the penalty of their inattention;
although there is, and
i always has been, a certain amount
of speculation in the iron trade, there cannot be a doubt
hthaastartisL'te present moment is perfectly legitimate ; it
li
from the fact, that the Americans kept back
their ord. rs:(with the view of coming in at the lowest
point) umi l their immense Railway wants callad for
immense supply; we have witnessed the natural re-
sults—an merwhelmin,g demand for rails has filled up
the books of our makers for months to come, while
cargoes of the iron are being dispatched for consump-
tion from all the shipping ports as fast as shiproom
can be procured: the orders for America alone, now on
hand, extend considerably into next year, leaving our
own wants and those of Europe and India totally
nnsupplied. The demand for our own consumption is
i
daily increasing n magnitude, while the stocks of all
the dealers in manufactured iron have nearly run out.
The season of low prices and depression in the iron trade
has extended over a long period—workmen and masters
have alike suffered from the pressure with patient forti-
tude and perseverance; and while we :congratulate the
trade on its improved condition and prospects, we do so
with full confidence in the solid reality of those causes
which nothing but the most unforeseen events can now
put aside. The advance has not been so sudden—
its approach has been evinced in this in-
creased inquiry of the last six months, gradu-
ally stiffening prices, until one by one every maker
throughout the country has been filled up, and the value
as a natural consequence has swollen in proportion.
Scotch pig iron has been very much excited during the
week, and large transactions have taken place, ad-
vancing the quotations to 56s 6d cash, and 57s 6d three
months open, The market is a trifle easier to-day from
the efforts of parties over-sold at low rates, holders
however entertain a good opinion, and there are very
few sellers at the quotations, viz., 553 6d cash, and 56s
6d three months open. Rails are very steady
without alteration in price, orders continue
to arrive by every mail from the United States.
Bars have been in more demand—in Staffordshire,
:Makers are not desirous of taihg orders for Sheets,
Hoops, and Rods, unless at high rates, end these only in
very small quantities, being so largely engaged upon
rails. Spelter steadily increases in value, tho stocks are
held firmly in expectation of higher rates, which !Ail
uo doubt be realised, the market is firm at 191 10s on
the spot, and 20/ 103 spring shipments. Tin very firm.
Tin Plates—A good business is doing, and prices are
better, 6d to Is per box.

REWARDS FOR SAVING LIFE FROM

WRECKS.

Yesterday a meeting of the general committee of
the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of
Life from Shipwreck was held in the Adelphi ; Mr.
George Palmer, the vice-chairman, presided.
The committee, after having heard the announce-
ment of the death of their late much valued and la-
mented chairman, Mr. Thomas Wilson, late M.P. for
London, who wes the founder of the institution,
passed a resolution of condolence to his bereaved
family.

The committee then proceeded to vote a number of
rewards.

The silver medal of the institution was voted both
to Captain Devereux and to Mr. Costello, tide sur-
veyor of Wexford ; and a grant of 541. to the crews
of several other boats who so lau lably exerted them-
selves in saving about 420 of the crew and passen-
gers of the emigrant ship Bhurtpoor, which was
wrecked on the 18;11 ult., on the Long Bank, off the
coast of Wexford. At daybreak, when the perilous
situation of the vessel was described, boats imme-
diately put off to the rescue of the unfortunate people,
who, as they were successively landed, destitute of
everything except what they had on, ware kindly and
humanely treated by the inhabitants of Wexford. It
is gratifying to add that the life-boat placed by
the institution at Kilmore was instrumental in saving
about thirty people.
The silver medal was also voted to each of the two
commissioned Coast Guard boatmen, named Howe
and Peirson, of Ballygrany station. They observed
a boat in a disabled state, and drifting with the sea,
and having
two men in her waving their hats for as-
sistance. A large number of the people bad assem-
bled on the point, but no one, on account of the
heavy sad running, would venture to go to the aid of
the distressed boat ; but the above men, without
delay, gallantly put off in a small punt, which was
capable of carrying conveniently only two persons,
and with great personal risk succeeded in boarding
the boat sad bringing her and the two men on shore,
who, it appeared, had their boat disabled in going to
the assistance of the ship Bhurtpoor.
A reward of 2/. 10s. was granted to the crew of

A reward of 21. was made to a poor fisherman and

consideration cf their promptitude in saving seven
out of fifteen persons who had been wrecked from a
boat, which bad struck on a sunken rock near the
above island. The other eight persons perished before
assistance could be rendered to them.

The silver medal of the society was ordered to
be presented to Mr. M. H. Daud, and Si. to several
others who had Raved the lives of the crew of the brig
Pedestrian of Shields, which was wrecked, some time
since, near Waritworth, on the coast of Northumber-
land. The people at first were rather backward to

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SOUTHWARK.

George Minns, costermonger, Thomas Kelly, com-
positor, William Fisher, carpenter, Sophia Field,
shoebinder, and Mary Ann Brown, bracewaker, were
placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, charged with
being found in a home in Unicorn-court, Kent-
street, engaged in the manufacture of counterfeit
coin.

Sergeant Richards, 10 M, stated that on the pre-
vious afternoon, between five and six o'clock, he went
accompanied by Sergeant Woodhouse, and also a boy
to the house, No. 1, in the above court, the door of
which, leading to the court, was open. The boy then
walked up stairs, and knocked at the door of a back
room on the first floor, and a voice from within called
out, "Who's there ?" The boy answered, "It's all
right," upon which the door, which was barred and
bolted, was undone, and the two sergeants, who were
standing outside, rushed into the room, and saw the
five prisoners, three men and two women, all sitting
round the fireplace busily engaged, some attending to
a pipkin filled with hot metal, while others were
employed in arranging plaster of Paris moulds for
the reception of metal to strike off counterfeit half-
crowns, shillings, and sixpences. Before, however, ;he
officers bad time to make a seizure of the whole of
the implements used in the manufacture of base coin,
the prisoners, on finding theiy were discovered, dashed
down on the hearth several plaster of Paris moulds,
and smashed them to pieces; but enough were saved
to exhibit the unlawful nature of the business in
which they were engaged. In Kelly's possession was
found a mould with a genuine half-crown in it, and
several counterfeit half-crowns and shillings were
picked up off the floor, all of which were quite hot,
showing that they had been recently manufactured.
" Amongst the various articles used by the prisoners,
several bottles containing spirits of wine and other
liquids, together with pounded plaster of Paris, files,
small hammers, moulds for making different coins to
imitate the current coin of the realm, were discovered
in the room, and now produced in court for the ma-
gistrate's inspection. Some broken spoons were also
discovered, made of metal of a white description.
Fisher made an attempt to escape, but he was over-
taken and secured. The woman Field, who had her
bonnet and shawl on when the officers entered the
room, asserted her innocence, said that
she lived in
Shoreditch, and that she only came from

I Mr. SECKER asked the prisoners if they had any
questions to put, but they all replied in the negative,
saying that they had nothing to ask.
Mr. SECKIIII said that he should commit them all
for trial, but that they should be brought up there
again on that day week, in order to have the autho-
rities of the Mint present.
THAMES.

A poor woman, named Miry Ann Hewitt, who ap-
peared in a very weak condition, was brought before
Mr. Ingham, charged with attempting self-destruction.
James White Davis, a labourer, said he was stand-
ing on a wharf on the banks of the River Lea Cut at
Limehouse on Tuesday evening, when a gentleman
from the opposite side called to him, and said that a
female had just thrown herself into the stream. He
looked about, and suddenly the head of a woman ap-
peared above the water, and her clothes were blown
up by the wind. He pulled off his hat and jacket,
and went into the water and caught hold of her. The
bank was perpendicular, and he, had great difficulty
in keeping her up until he reached the edge of the
wharf, when a man laid down and held his band out
He caught hold of the hand, and others then knelt.
down and profered their hands, and he put the woman
on share, and then climbed the bank and saved him-
self. The prisoner was the woman he saved. She
was apparently dead when he took hold of her. Means
were used to restore animation ; but it was a long
time before she exhibited any signs of life, and she
was then removed to Ratcliff workhouse, where she
had since been under medical treatment.

The prisoner, who stared wildly, and appeared
almost unconscious of what was going on, was called
upon by the MAGISTRATE for her defence, and the
words having been repeated by Roche, the gaoler, she
said, in a low tone, that she had no recollection of
what had taken place, and could not tell how she got
into the water.

Mr. INGHAM asked if the prisoner was sober when
she was taken out of the water, to which the witness
replied in the affirmative.
A poor man, who appeared to have endured great
anxiety and privations, here got into the witness-box
and said, " Please your Worship, its trouble that has
brought my poor wife to this."
Mr. INGuAM-Oh, you are the husband. Tell me
all about it.

The Husband--I am a Spitalfields weaver, and I
was out of employment some time, but have got a
little work lately. Last week my poor wife was
troubled in her mind in consequence of her daughter,
who is married, having lost her first child. About
two months ago her mother died, and that preyed
very much on her mind. We could not bury her
without applying to the parish, and that distressed her
more than anything else. She has looked very wild
and haggard ever since. From conversation I have
had with my wife, I know she is very sorry for what
she has done, but distress and a broken heart caused
her to do it.
Mr. INGHAM said there was no doubt this was a
case of distress, and that the woman was an object of
pity. He would allow the unfortunate woman to
depart with her husband, and ordered that Davis
should be remunerated for his good conduct and
bravery from the poor-box fund.

THE SUICIDE AT ST. ALBAIV'S HOTEL.
An inquest was held at the St. James's workhouse,
Poland-street, yesterday, by Mr. Langharn, the de-
puty coroner for Westminster, and a jury, to inquire
into the cause of the death of Henry Joseph Brad-
field, who committed suicide three days ego, in the
coffee-room of the St. Alban's Hotel, Charles-street,
St. James's.
The following witnesses were called :
William Frindley, Peckham—l have been in the
army, and WAS a magistrate in the West Indies. I
knew the deceased Henry Joseph Bradfield. I don't
know where he was living of late. He had, some
time ago,
a lodging in toe Waterloo-road. He had
been educated as a medical men—he told me so ; and
was a surgeon with Lord Cochrane in Greece. After
that he was in the Belgian service, in the Hussars ;
but I knew nothing of him till 1835, when he went
out with me to Trinidad; we went in the seine ship,
and I have known him since. I left him, at the time the
magistrates were dismissedata moment's warning, in
Trinidad. He was not a magistrate then, but he was a
magistrate up to that time. I don't know on what
ground he was dismissed. We were all dismissed by
the Governor, Sir George Hill, at a moment's notice.
I did not see or hear of him for some
years after-
wards. I understood he went to Barbadoes after-
wards as colonial secretary. I saw him
afterwards in
London. He was not pursuing any profession, but I
understood he wanted to be restored as a magistrate
in the colonies. He then had an appointment in St.
Dominica, under the Governor, Colonel M'Donald.
I saw nothing of him from that time till this time
twelve months. He called on me at my house. He
was then doing nothing, and I understood he had
been very ill, and was trying to do the best he could.
He was then in distressed circumstances, and living
on his friends. His wife and child followed him to
Trinidad. I saw him frequently within the last
twelve months. He generally came to me on a Sun-
day, more than once a month on the average. I saw
him last on Monday morning, about half-past
one ; nothing particular took place on that occasion,
but he was very much depressed in consequence of
the injustice done to him by the Colonial-office, and
he always laboured under that impression. He
dined and slept at my house on Sunday, and he ap-
peared much depressed. When he lived in the Wa-
terloo-road his effects were there, and they were kept
for rent which he owed. He told me so himself.
• He never made any observations to me to indicate
that he was likely to commit suicide. He was mainly
supported by a friend, and he went out for four
months to Belgium, to see the King of the Belgians,
who know him well. Upon his return I saw him
for a few Sundays, and I learnt afterwards that he
had been to Osborne, endeavouring to see the Queen,
who had some knowledge of him. [A. packet of
papers was here produced and opened. In the packet
were several poems and other works of the deceased.
One of the books had on the cover,
" To her Majesty
Queen Victoria," and on another, "To H. M. the
King of the Belgians."] The gentleman who was in
the habit of assisting him, Mr. Winstanley, put an
end to himself on the .Friday previous. Several pa-
pers were identified as in the handwriting of the de-
ceased. I know that the deceased had published se-
veral works. I have seen the paper with the name of
Lord John Russell in his possession. I do not know
that he had lived in Park-street, Grosvenor-square.
I have never before seen the letter dated from
Downing-street produced. I think that is all I
have to state. I did not see the deceased after
Monday last. On Monday, October 11, he wrote
to me a letter from the Junior United Service
Club. In the letter he accused the Colonial-office of
murdering himself and me. This paper contains a
statement of his case, drawn up by another person.
h
(The packet of papers was addressed to the coroner,
to Mr. Charles Dickens,
Colonel M'Donald and Captainand Griis gallant friends
ndley.) I cannot
answer whether he had any means of support but
from the gentleman who destroyed himself. On
Monday I recommended him to go out to Australia,
and to go to Westminster with the view of obtaining
a passage. When he left me on Monday I bad no
notion that he was going to destroy himself. For
some time he was not himself; in fact, he was
insane, and had been at one of the hospitals, as I un-
derstood.
The CORONER said it was right that the documents
should be laid before the jury. One of them was
from Lord John Russell, and dated 28th August,
1841, to the Governor of Trinidad, stating that the
deceased had made charges against the authorities
in Trinidad, and that an inquiry into the charges
should immediately be instituted; and saying that
if injustice had been committed, the deceased should
be reinstated in his office. The coroner read to the
jury a long statement published by the deceased of
his case, containing a correspondence with Lord
John Russell, the Earl of Derby, Sir John Faking-
ton, and a number of other distinguished men, and an
article in a weekly paper setting forth his case.
Mr. George Godwin, 24, Alexander-square,
Brompton, architect—l did not see the deceased, and
never saw him. I received from the summoning
officer a letter addressed to me, on Tuesday evening
last. [The letter was in the handwriting of the de-
ceased.] The letter was written at my house, and
addresses me as an intimate friend, and refers to the
cruelties perpetrated against him, and the desertion
of his wife. He wishes to be buried by the side of
his mother, in St. Margaret's Churchyard. He dis-
poses of his works—mentions the names of gentlemen
who assisted him—and states that he bad two boxes
containing MSS., one at Mr. Mayhall's, in the
Waterloo-road. He came to see me to offer an in-
terior view of the church at Waterloo. Hew e
ap-
peared very feint when he called—he got some
in
and half-a-crown, and he called on the Saturday and
had some more wine and water.

Alfred Hammond, St. Alban's Hotel, Charles-
street—l am a waiter. I did not know the deceased.
I first saw him last week at the hotel. He came into
the retail department. He did not stop long.
.1 did
not speak to him. He had something, but I did not
serve him. I next saw him on Monday evening
about half-past ten. He came into the coffee-room
and had sixpenny-worth of brandy and water, and he
asked for pen and ink, and sat writing for about an
hour and a half. He ordered a sausage-roll and a
glass of ale after. I left the room, and when I re-
turned I found him on the floor. There was no one
else in the room at the time. There was a phial on
the table. I sent for assistance immediately. There
was a glass on the table, which he toikfronthe side-
board. It was a small glass. There wa • nothing in

but did not read it. This is the card which was on

th 3 top of the parcel. There was writing on tLe
card. I picked him up. In less then five minutes a
in,:dicull man came ih. 11, told me that if be shouhi
fall asleep, or anything should happen, to send him
next door to the Junior United Service. 0017 five
inimees elapsed between my leaving him and finding
him deer.

Mr. Frederick Tothill, Charles•street, St. James's-
square, surgeon—l did not know the deceased. I
was called into the St. Alban's Hotel o❑ Monday,
betwee❑ eleven and twelve o'clock at night. He was
quite deed. Tbere were no marks of external vio-
lence. I saw the glasa, which smelt of prussic acid.
Ile general appearance of the body was healthy. On
opening the body there was a strong smell of prussic
acid.

Captain Grindley—l have no idea of his age ; but
he has a father and wife and daughter in London, but
Ido not know where they are. Ido not know whe-
ther he deserted his wife or she deserted him.
Mr. Tothill said—l removed the stomach, which
contained about half a pint of fluid, two-thirds of
which were subjected to analysis, which left no doubt
that poison had been swallowed. I analysed the
contents of the stomach, with the assistance of Mr.
Taylor. I made three analyses, from all of which
the presence of prussic acid discovered would be
enough to cause the death of fifty persons. I did
not examine the brain. The prussic acid was the
cause of death.

The Coroner then summed up the evidence to the
jury, and left it to them to say whether the death
was the result of his own act, and whether, if he
committed the act, he was at the time in a sound
state of mind•

The jury, after a short consultation, returned their
verdict to the effect that the deceased had died by
his own hand, while in a state of temporary insanity.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
Ajax, 56, screw guard-ship, Captain Quin, hauled
off from the jetty at Portsmouth, yesterday morning,
to the Camperdown, where she will complete her
fitting.
Bittern, 12, Commander Vansittart, and Daring,
12, Commander Napier, sailed from Spithead on
Wednesday evening, with a fine breeze down Chan-
nel, for their respective destinations.
Inflexible, 6, steam sloop, went out of Portsmouth
harbour 3 esterday morning, and hove to at Spithead,
to take in her powder and shells. She sailed in the
afternoon for the Mediterranean, calling at Lisbon.
SHOALING OF THE DOGGEREANK —The Lightning,
steam-tender, Master. Commander Allen, with Capt,
Washington, on Monday left the Tyne, having taken
in a supply of coals, and proceeded on a second survey
on the North Sea. Much alarm has been felt at the
shoaling on the Doggerbank, which lies some 60
miles off the north coast of England, and the Admi-
ralty have given instructions for the bank to be
sounded. On the last occasion the Lightning was
out surveying, those on board succeeded in carrying
a line of soundings across the North Sea to the coast
of Denmark, in the parallel of 55 deg. north, return-
ing in the latitude of 54 deg. north to Flamborough
Head, sounding every quarter of an hour, night and
day. We believe as small a depth as 7 fathoms was
found, but information was received from several
fishermen that they have struck bottom at 5f fathoms
on the tail of the Doggerbank, and this within 60 or
70 miles of our own coast—a depth that might be
fatal to a deeply laden vessel crossing from the Baltic.
PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Fairy Royal yacht,
Captain Crispin, embarked the younger members of
the Queen's family, who have been sojoureing at Os-
borne during her Majesty's visit to the Highlands,

nesses disembarked at about a quarter to ten at the
Royal Clarence yard, where Admiral Sir Thomas
Briggs, G.C.M.G., the Commansier-in- Chief, and
Flag-Lieutenant Pasley, Captain-Superintendent
Johnson, Mr. John Davies, R.N., Master-Attendant ;
Mr. Pinhorn, R.N., and Mr. R, W. Stevens, of the
South-Western Railway Company, were waiting to
receive them and see them safely into the train, which
left for London shortly before ten o'clock.
The Daring, 12, Commander Napier, and the Bit-
tern, 12, Commander Vansittart, sailed from Spit-
head, the former for the West, and the latter for the
East Indies, last night.
The Termagant, 24, screw-frigate, Captain Gifford,
hauled into the stream, and commenced swinging for
the adjustment of her compasses this morning.
PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY.—This morning the First
Lord of the Admiralty (his Grace the Duke of Nor-
thumberland), accompanied by Sir Thomas Herbert,
M.P., Mr. Secretary Stafford, M.P., Captain Pelham,
R.N., M.P. (private secretary), and Colonel Greene,
went direct from Devonport to the Royal Marine
Barracks at Stonehouse, where the Marines, under
their commanding officer (Colonel Coryton), were
drawn up in line to receive their Lordships. After
making a close inspection of the men they proceeded
to their rooms, every one of which was minutely ex-
amined, and then visited the infirmary and the boys'
and girls' schools. They subsequently went to Bun-
ker's-hill, behind the barracks, and saw the Marine
Artillerymen exercise at the great gun practice-
gallery. Their Lordships expressed their satisfac-
tion at the good discipline and excellent condition
of the Plymouth division of this able arm of the
naval service. From the barracks they went to the
Royal Naval Hospital, and then returned to the dock-
yard, where the First Lord held a levee, from 1 to 3
o'clock,in the office of Commodore Superintendent Sey-
mour. At half-past three o'clock the Duke of Nor-
' thumberland, Sir Thomas Herbert, the Hon. Captain
Duncombe, M.P., Mr. Stafford, Captain Pelham,
Colonel Greene, and Colonel Williams entered the
Admiral's barge, and proceeded to the Royal William
Victualling-yard, where, about four o'clock, they
were received on landing by Captain-Superintendent
Rich, R.N., Mr. Samuel Triscott, Storekeeper, and
Mr. Armstrong, Master-Attendant. Their Lord-
ships at once visited the bakehouse and mills, which
they inspected most minutely, and then went
irough
the provision and slop-stores and the other branches
of this fine establishment, expressing their approval
as they proceeded. The workmen were not mustered.
At half-past five o'clock the Board returned in the
barge to Devonport.
In the course of the day the Duke of Northumber-
land accompanied Mr. L. Tripe, Honorary Secretary,
to the Royal British Orphan Asylum, and examined
the children as to their education, clothing, comfort,
&c. His Grace then made a similar examination of
the Military School. Each of these valuable institu-
tions received the munificent donation of 1001. from
the First Lord, who also gave 2001. to the New
Sailors' Home at Devonport, of which Lieutenant
Sumpter, R.N., is the honorary secretary.
All the members of the Board left by the express
train for London.
