NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET.—March 15t.

Our farmers brought a large supply of Wheat to this ad'ay's
market, and the arrivals coastways were also considerable,
which caused inferior samples to be taken off slowly at a de-
cline of ls. per quarter on the prices of this day se'unight,
though the best qualities nearly supported similar rates. The
arrivals of Barley are also large, and all but the finest descrip-
tione Is. per quarter lower. Oats were is. per quarter
cheaper, with an abundant supply. In Rye there is no varia-
tion. Malt continues a slow sale, though offered at a decline
of ls. per quarter. White Pease firm. Beans and Grey
Pease remain without change. Flour supports our quotations,
but the arrivals from Norfolk and Suffolk are very large.

THE DEATH OF THE DEAN OF BRISTOL.—Dr.
Beoke was the son of the Rev. Christopher Beeke : he was
born at Kingsteinton, in Devonshire, Jan. 6, 1751 ; elected a
scholar of Corpus Christi College, May 5, 1769, and took the
degree of B.A. as a member of that society, Jan. 20, 1773.
He was elected to a fellowship at Oriel College (on Frank's
foundation) April 21, 1775, took his M.A. degree June 6,
1776, and was soon after appointed tutor of his college. He
was presented by Oriel College, to the rectory of Ufton Nor-
cot, Berkshire, October 17, 1789, and vacated his fellowship
in 1791. In 1800 he proceeded Doctor in Divinity; and the
following year, upon the death of Dr. Howell, was appointed
by the Crown to the Professorship of Modern History in this
University, and when the late Dr. Parsons was promoted
to the see of Peterborough, succeeded him in the deanery of
Bristol. Dr. Beeke was the author, we believe, of several
pamphlets on finance, and it has been said that the late
Mr. Pitt was indebted to him for the original suggestion
of an Income Tax ; and Mr. Vansittart (the present Lord
Bexley), it is well known, when Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, consulted him upon most of his financial pro-
jects, and derived much assistance from his calculations.—
The late Dean of Bristol was a person of very extensive
acquirements. He was not only an accurate scholar, an able
mathematician, and a sound divine, but a good antiquary, and
peculiarly well acquainted with most subjects connected
with political economy. The following anecdote is not un-
amusing, and we know it to be true :—Whilst the late Dean
was a fellow of Oriel, he was a member of a club that as-
sembled at the Angel Inn, and being there one day, waiting
the arrival of his brother members, a mercantile traveller en-
tered the room, and began a conversation with Mr. Beeke.
Intent upon commerce, and forgetting perhaps that he was in
an university, the traveller remarked that the opposite build-
ing ( Queen's College) was a noble exchange, and entering
into details of trade, &c. was so delighted with the observa-
tions and talents of his companion, that at parting he thanked
Mr. Beeke for his obliging information, adding, .4 I clearly
discover from your conversation, and the intimate knowledge
you have of the subject, that you arc in trade like myself.
Pray, Sir, may I ask if you are not in the carpet line ?
Oxford Herald.

EARL GREY.—His scholarship has left upon
him no taint of pedantry ; the matchless polish of his cha-
racter has neither attenuated its structure, nor corrupted its
simplicity ; and the agitation of long and strenuous opposition
has subsided without depositing the slightest residuum of as-
perity or petulance. His morals are pure, his honour is un •
spotted, and his heart is one of mingled nobleness and tender-
ness—one in which a throbbing patriotism swells and bursts
into universal pi ilanthropy.—Leicestersh;re Mercury.
The Reformers of Oldham have resolved to put
General Johnson, of Lincolnshire, in nomination as their can-
didate, with Mr. Fielden.

Never have we witnessed such a gross demoralisa-
tion of sentiment and public feeling as in the neighbouring
town of Berwick. Corrupt beyond measure, men—aye, re-
spectable men—calling themselves free men—have come for-
ward and avowed their hostility to the great, the salutary. the
all-saving measure of Ahnicipal Reform in England.—Kelso
Chronicle.

At the Middleton Petty Sessions, before Messrs.
Fletcher and Smith, magistrates, Messrs. John H;lton Kay,
and Co., of Heywood, pleaded guilty to five charges of the
Factory Act; Mr. Heathcote, informer, did not wish to press
for a full penalty for the first offence. Fined 61., and costs.
Messrs. S. Chadwick and Sons were fined 40s. and costs, for
two separate offences; and an overlooker at Mr. James Chad-
wick's mill, 40s. and costs, for endeavouring to conceal a girl
under 13 years of age from the factory inspector.—Manchester
Guardian.

On Saturday a Mr. Collier, residing at No. 59,
Hare-street, Edgeware-road, made application at the different
police offices and stations relative to the disappearance of his
two daughters, aged nine and twelve respectively, who, he
said, had been decoyed away, he knew not whither, by a wo_
man named Harriet Williams, fur some bad purposes, as he
apprehendel Williams is a young woman about 27 years of
age, of sallow complexion, with dark brown hair, grey eyes, a
piercing look, and a scar on her forehead. The applicant
stated that he had traced her to Old-street, where she has a
=inter who keeps a straw bonnet-shop, and he learned that she
had been there with the two girls on the 10th inst., (the day
of abduction) but he could obtain no further trace of them.
The elder of the girls, Harriet Collier, is about four feet in
height, with dark eyes and hair, and of delicate complexion;
and the other, Maria, is about 6 inches shorter than her sister,
with long pale features, light brown hair, and grey eyes.
Unusually large flights of wild fowl have passed
over the eastern coast, which is attributed to the prevalence of
severe north easterly winds during the past fortnight. In se-
veral parts of the country the ponds have been frozen over, and
the thermometer has suffered a greater depression than at any
time during the snow storms prevalent in this strange winter.
The daughter of an honest porter of a house in the
Rue Coquenard, being engaged to a ball on the evening of the
Mi- Caremea anticipated the pleasure of eclipsing her com-
panions by the style of her dress. At the proper hour she
ascended to her humble garret to adorn herself for conquest,
when great was the disappointment which awaited her. The
door of the room, it is true, was not broken open, nor was the
furniture apparently disturbed, but the drawers had been care-
fully emptied of all the gay paraphernalia destined for the
evening's display. No clue to the robbery was obtained till
about a week afterwards, when the mother of the young girl
was standing at her door, and repeating the disaster, for the
ninety-ninth time, to a neighbour. On a sudden she observed
a female, who had recently lived in the house, pass by, dressed
in a Fart of the sto!en property. Information having been im-
mediately given to the police, the female was followed to her
new residence and arrested, and, the remainder of the pro-
perty being found in her trunk, she was delivered over to the
hands of justice.
