rpt the Central Criminal Court, on the charge of having
destroyed her new-4).0m child, is not yet 16 yiars of 'age.
She had not attained her 17th year when she was seduced

by the man who vras for WOO,
under the bastardy clause of the New Poor-law, was not
liable to any part of the expenses of its maintenance.

MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.) 1

CORN EXCHANGE.
The supply of Wheat and F our this week has been mode-
rate, of all other articles very small, and of Foreign Wheat and
Oats middling. There has been very little disposition to do
business; old Wheat is held at Monday's rates, and new being
chiefly tender, was 2s. per quarter cheaper. In Barley, Beans,
and Pease no variation. Oats advanced Is. per quarter. Ihe
Flour trade was very dull. In consequence of the rejection of
some high fictitious averages the duty on Wheat remains un-
altered.

SMITHFIELD.
In consequence of the shortness of the supplies, the,trade has
improved since last day, the primest sorts of Beef meeting a
ready sale at an advance of 2d. per stone. Mutton, Lamb,

last. Beef, 3s. 6d. to 4s. 6d. ; Mutton, 4s. 2d. to ss. ; Veal,
4s. 4d. to ss. 4d. ; Pork, 4s, 6d. to ss. 4d. ; Lamb, 4s. 6d. to

BILLINGSGATE MARKET.

prices continued stationary. Turbot, ss. to 18s ; Cod, Is. 6d.
to Bs. ; Soles, 10d. to 33.6 d. per pair ; Lobsters, 10d. to 4s. ;

MONEY AND COMMERCIALNEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—We con-
tinue to experience a pool demand for Cotton to-day; the
sales are 6,000 bags at full prices, and a firm market.
Several vessels have put back ; among them is the
Levant packet, for Constantinople, 'with the loss of her
bowsprit.

We have received Cape of Good Hope Papers to the
231 June.

(From the Cape of Good Hope Papers.)
By the last post from the frontier we have no news of
any consequence, though the reports of Caffre depreda-
tions are as formidable as they ever were in time of peace.
That many of these reports are groundless, as in the re-
cent case of Mr. John Pringle's horses, we learn from the
formal contradictions that appear from time to time in the
Paper that first gave them publicity ; but a sufficient num-
ber are true to authorise additional force on the part of
Government, and the utmost watchfulness on the part of
the frontier farmers.

The drought in the central districts of the colony is said
to be extreme, in some places rain has not fallen for the
last three years,

The measles, we learn, still bear heavily on the midland
and frontier inhabitants.

In Cape Town something like influerza begins to pre.
vail ; this is certainly the most unhealthy season we recol-
lect at the Cape.
At length the long-looked for Hamburgh mail has
arrived, which was due on Monday last, of the 6th S, p-
tembar.

THE RECENT STORM—DREADFUL LOSS OF LIFE,-It is
with the utmost poignant sorrow we state that intelligence
has been received from Uitenbago, to the effect that durng
' the storm on Monday, the 21st inst. eight waggons, loaded
with merchandise were carried away by the Zwartkops
River, and lost. The loss of life is stated to be appalling,
Five waggons were " outspanned" at the lower drift, and
three at the upper ; they had been driven up for the night on
the flat banks of the river, where, by one of those sudden
overflows for which African rivers are remarkable, the
whole, including every body with the waggons were over-
whelmed and swept away by the force of the torrent. The
number of lives lost is not at present known, but cannot be
less than sixteen or eighteen, amongst whom are many
Europeans. The rivers in every direction have been
swollen to an extraordinary height.
PORT ELIZABETH, Mav 23 —This place and neighbour-
hood was visited on Monday last by one of the severest
storms which have happened for a long time pest, and more
rain fell than for the last eight bears, accompanied by high
wind, thunder, and lightning. Considerable damage has been
done to the buildings, several of which have fallen The
country is covered with water, Our old seasons seem to
have returned to us, it is to be hoped with our old pros-
perity.
