THE MARCHIONESS OF SALISBURY.—`fie
regret to say that at a late hour last evening her Lady-
ship was in such a dangerous state that it was thought
she could not survive the night. We understand the

becoming a sincere Christian, and has prepared her
mind for any sudden change.

THE WEATHER.—The temperature in London
has been lower for the two or three last days, but the
weather continues dry, sunny, and beautiful.
PATENT SNUFFERS.—Mr. Shrapnel, of GOS-
port, sometime ago, obtained a patent for Snuffers on
a new and scientific principle. The candle is snuffed
in the usual manner, and the damper presses the snuff
against a series of projected spikes ; when full the
whole is detached from the snuffer, and the snuff can
be at once removed from the spikes with the utmost
ease : they effectually prevent the snuff from falling out
and injuring furniture.
DETERMINED SUICIDE.—On Sunday evening,
between seven and eight o'clock, the neighbourhood of
the Ship Tavern,
Millbank, was thrown into consider-
able alarm by it having been reported that Mrs. Hunt,
the wife of T. Hunt (who resides at Mr. Chandler's,
the Ship Tavern), the celebrated wager-boat builder,
had committed suicide, and which was found to be too
true. It appears that about the time mentioned the
deceased had just made tea, and having sent out her
nephew, a boy about fourteen years of age, on an
errand, she committed the rash act during his absence.
Mr. Pearse, surgeon, of Marsham-street, was immedi-
ately sent for, but he could not stop the ha3morhage,
and the deceased bled to death in a few minutes.
BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, OCT. 11.—Our
sugar-market has remained very quiet : the show of
samples has improved, but, in the present divided state
of opinion as to future prices, owing to the peculiar con-
dition of the money-market, the merchants are not will-
ing to give way ; nor do the buyers evince any disposi-
tion to purchase more than is requisite for their actual
wants.—Mercuu.
