WHEAT AND FLOUR IN PARIS, COMPARED
WITH LONDON.

WHEAT.—The highest price of the best Wheat in Paris is
23-kf. per 11 hectolitre, which is equal to 365. per Eng-
lish quarter. The highest price of the best Essex and Kent
Wheat in London being 665. per quarter, the difference is
30s. per quarter dearer iijorLondon than in Paris, or 831 per
cent. and the same money which in London buys but eight
bushels of Wheat, is in Paris the value of upwards of fourteen
and a half bushels of the finest quality.
FLoun.—The highest price of flour of the " first mark" in
Paris is 48 francs per 139 kilogrammes, corresponding with
30s. 3d. per English sack of 2801bs. The highest price of the
best " town made" flour in London is 555. per sack, showing
fine Flour to be 245. 9d. per sack dearer in London than in
Paris, or 814 per cent. ; and that the 555. which in London
can procure but 2801b5., will in Paris purchase 510ibs. of the
finest Flour.

An alarming and destructive accident, involving the
lives of a number of people, took place a short time ago in the
house of a collier at Donnington Wood, near Wellington,
in this county. It is the custom of the colliers in that part
of the country to store considerable quantities of gunpowder
in their out-houses, to be used in blasting in the pits ; and
a young woman named Bayley was sent to bring away five
pounds from a heap of upwards of thirty pounds for immediate
use. The poor girl having put the powder into a bag, went
to the kitchen fire to warm herself, and had no sooner
placed her foot on the fender, than the powder-bag burst in
her hands-,the powder exploded—and communicating with
the heap in the out-house, the whole building was blown to
pieces, Mary and Jaue Bayley killed on the spot, and Jane
Davies so shockingly scorched, that she died en Friday.—
Shrewsbury chronicle.
On Wednesday, a young woman named Astin, had
one of her arms broken, in two places, at Mr. Baldwin's mill,
near Bailey Hall, in this town, through getting entangled with
the machinery. A man named Thomas Crossley, had one of
his fingers cut off by a throw, at which he was working, on
Tuesday, at Mr. Farrar's machine shop, Square-read, in this
town.—Halifax Express.
CHURCH-RATES.—The Mayor of this town has
called a meeting, to take place on Tuesday next, ie compliance
with a requisition presented to him, to address his Majesty,
and to petition both Houses of Parliament, in support of the
Government measure for the abolition of Clburch•rates.--

On Tuesday last the first stone of a new church was
laid at. Coalville, in the parish of Ibstock, by Mr. George Da-
venport, who has munificently endowed it with 1,0001. and
contributed 100/. towards the erection.—Salopian Journal.
We arc informed that seven signatures were obtained,
the other day, to petition Pro-Church-rate,—or rather to a
blank sheet without a heading, by the party saying that its object
was to prevent the guardians of the poor taking possession of
the pews in the parish church ! When will men take the pre-
caution to read petitions, before they affix their names? —Ha-
