NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET.—May (3. big
We had a small supply of Wheat from the country at i
day's market, but the samples offering from Norfolk and Saf•
folk were considerable, and the whole met a very limited de•
mand at a decline of 2s. per quarter on the rates of last SA.:
tarday. Maltingc, Burley is quite neglected, as the season I!
almost closed. Malt continues in a very languid state, wit'l,
out any further alteration in value. Our supply of Oats Waj
good, and prices were Is. per quarter lower. In Beans 81l
Pease there is no change. The arrivals of Flour are st
arge, and the sale is slow at a decline of full 2s. per sack.

Last Thursday Mr. Parsons, a.young man of great
promise, shot himself. His mild, kind, and gentlemanly de"
et
meanour—indeed, the whole course and tenor of his condo„
seemed to offer a contradiction to the bare idea of such an
act as characterized his end. The only cause that Can, ro
assigned is a misunderstanding with a young lady to wneti
he was attached—and which, though trivial in itself, IFtr,
brooded over by a sensitive mind, might have prompted Ind
to a deed which a moment's reflection would have induct'
him to shrink from with horror. Mr. Parsons was a remar:'
ably handsome young man, only IS years of age. Ile was
•
deed with considerable talents, and his virtues, which ea'
deared him to a numerous circle of friends, will cause his n",
timely fate to be deeply lamented.—Brigliton Herald.
One of those disgraceful exhibitions, the sale of
wife, took place on Monday. The husband is a blacksmith'
named Garth. Ile first sold her for a shilling, then bong°
her back again, and resold her to a married man for hal"'
crown. The wife of the purchaser came in on learnil
the fact, and amused a company of low fellows who wet r
present by mauling her faithleks spouse rather severeli.".

Mr. Thomas Travis, a mechanic employed in t

On Thursday morning, about half-past two o'cloc
as one of the large foreign steamers were coming up the riol;
when she arrived off Gravesend, it being extremely dark °
the time, she ran on board of a collier brig iiding
at allelic
there, heavily laden. Such was the force of the concussi%
that the collier went down almost instantaneously. No 1
were lost. The value of the brig and cargo is estimated atl
1,0001.
Harrison, of Easington, buried a hive of bees in 1).194
garden, on the 17th of October last, and on being taken neee-i
last week, they were found to be all alive, and withing tbre
hours commenced their busy labours. The most surpri4t)
circumstance is, that they were not supt;lied with any food
the time they were deposited in the earth, and having cast °osl
swarmed during the latter part of the summer, the owner
opinion is, there could not be any great quantity of honey.--.'
