PRICE OF BRE AD LOWERED.

Yesterday the Master and Wardens of the Bakers'
Company waited on the LORD MAYOR at the Man-
sion House, to set the Assize of Bread, and it ap-
pearing upon examination of the Mealweighers' Re-
turns that Wheat and Flour had fallen considerably
since the last Returns, his Lordship immediately
ordered the price of Breid io be lowered three
Assizes, or sixpence in the Peck Loaf, to commence
to.morrow. The Quartern Loaf will then be sold
for is. 4d.

' There is at Salford, in -Bedfordshire, a fine field
of Wheat in full ear. •

The Ist Division of the North Hants has marched
for Tavistock, in their way to Taunton. The 2d
Division of the same Regiment were to march yes.
terday with 450. French Prisoners, for Bristol, from

this season of the year. It is settled by the‘Trans-
port Board, that when the number of prisoners -in
Mill Prison exceeds 3000, the overplus are to be
sent to different parts of the interior, to prevent
epidemic disorders.

EXTRA . SY° R TING.—Twi) St. James's-street
Bucks, 'the Hon. BUrLEa DANV E RS and Mr. PENN;
started ort Monday Horn Hyde-park Corner to de-
cide a bet of a rump and dozen, upon the question
of which making the best of his way on foot to the
five mile stone at Turnham Green, would return
with the most exoe.lition. The former being a well-
made man, not heavy, and much stronger than the
latter, the bets were two to one in his favour, and
considerable sums among sporting Gentlemen were
depending. They set on at ten minutes past one,
Mr. BUTLER DAN N! E RS at full speed, and Mr. PENN
also ran to keep up with him. After going a mile
they walked, then trotted, anti so on as they felt
inclined. The run at the outset winded both, but,
Mr. P. being mine in praffice of walking, though
neither live on dried biscuits, took the lead on the
return, and Mr. B. D. being seized with a pain in
his side at Kensington, the other came in easy, at
eleven minutes past three, having gone ten miles in
.two hours and a minute. Sir CHA. BAsIrrvLDE
was the umpire, and a number of men of fashion,
friends of the parties, were present.
Yesterday a party of the Bow-street Officers went
to a house in Milbank-street, Westminster, which
they had received information was inhabited by a
gang of miners. They found two men at work
with the complete apparatus for coining gold, silver,
and copper ; whom they conveyed to Bow.street
for examination.
