[PRICE SD.

upward tendency at present is rather apparent than real,
and arises, wo, believe, chiefly from the actual course of
exchange. Up to the present there has been nothing
deserving the name of wholesale speeulation, which has
left the market to its natural course. No failures have
latterly taken place, and thi formidable liabilities
that ushered in 1851. have in a great measure dis-
appeared.

-In articles of daily consumption, as wine, sager, rice,
yerba, tobacco, &c., the market is very abundantly sup
plied, prices ',steady, and the demand languid. No one
seems to,entertain the idea that a blockade is at all pro
bable, and that is the only contingency that could war-
rant at present any movement, or advance of prices in
this department.
• EXPORTS.
The languor in the export market arises from a va-
riety of causes. The operations of the saladeros have
been so far deranged, that some of the articles most in
demand, as heavy hides for the continent and the Medi-
terranean, are not to be had in'sufficient quantities; and
while there' are considerable stocks on hand of the
lower weights; the demand for them has been limited,
chiefly owing to the late monetary crisis in the United
States, that has kept aloof our best customer in that de-
partment. The course of exchange and the rate of
freights, till, lately, aggravated the evil; the latter of
which has disappeared, and the former is fast tending to
its natural equilibrium: Of wool, owing to the difficulty
of adjusting, prices, a great proportion of the present clip'
remains in deposit, but will now doubtless be forwarded
either by the growers or speculators; at least the cur-
rent and probable rate of freights offers in obstacle.
Forth 'Moment there is no prospect of the saladeros
being able to continue their operations on the usual
scale.

SUSPECTED MURDER. IN ISLINGTON.—ON StifledSy
waidey,ll.l..P.,-at the Red Lion, Lower-road,
night an inquest of several hours' duration was held by Mr.
Islington,. upon
Samuel Wilkinson, carpenter, aged 45, who was found in the
cellar of his house with his head nearly severed from his
body.. The inquiry excited the deepest interest. Evidence
was given to show that the deceased and his wife lived un-
happily together, but there was nothing beyond that to im-
plicate her. The coroner, however, said that as some mys-
tery.hung over the melancholy case, he would adjourn the
inquiry to have the stomach analysed, and accordingly the
Learned Coroner adjourned the inquest, binding the jury and
witueesea to appear, under the usual penalty, on a future day.
