NEW('ASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN NIARKET.—Aug. 5.
Our supply of Wheat at this day's Market was large from
the farmers, but the coasting arrivals still continue very li-
mited, and the whole was cleared off at similar rates to last
Saturday. Oats were in good supply, and a very dull sale at
the prices of last week, particularly inferior samples, for which
there were no buyers. Rye is is fair request at our quota-
tions. Malt remains without alteration in value. We cars
note no change in Barley, Beans, or Pease. Fresh Flour is
enquired after, and a ready sale at our quotations.

Upon the request of the Queen the boys at the
Charter House arc to enjoy an additional week's yholidays to
celebrate her Majesty's accession to the throne. A similar
indulgence has been granted to Harrow, Westminster, and
Eton.

A " FISHY" COINCIDENCE.—About the middle
of Fenchurch-street the following names appear over the shop-
doors of three tradesmen, who live next door to each other—
" Roach," " Salmon," " Herring."

Since St. Swithiu's, or St. Martin's day, Saturday,
the 15th July, we have had more or less rain daily, sometimes
accompanied with thunder and lightning; so that the watery
Saint has this season kept his character. The rain has come
very seasonably for turnips and potatoes, which were much in
want of it, and has greatly refreshed and benefitted the grain
crops. Every species of produce—." herb, tree, fruit, and
flower"—is looking admirably ; and a continuance of favour.
able weather is only wanting to render the harvest one of the
most abundant ever known.—Dundee Advertiser.

Thursday afternoon was buried in the church of Bt.
Margaret's, Pentonville, Mrs. Margaret Lawson, aged 112
years, better known in -the neighbourhood by the namo of
Lady Lawson, from her very eccentric manner of dress.
Mrs. Margaret Lawson was born in the year 1725, during
the commencement- of the reign of George 11. in Cecil-
street, in the Strand, of most respectab!e parents, named
Anon, and was married at an early age to a wealthy gentle-
man named Lawson, then residing in the house which she
occupied. At the early age of 26 she became a widow,
having only one daughter living at the time. Mrs. Lawson
being left by her husband in affluent circumstances, preferred
to continue single, and notwithstanding she
iat] many
suitors, remained so. When her daughter married, being
left atone, she became fond of retirement, and seldom went
out or admitted the visits of any person. For the last 40
years she had kept no servants, except one old female, who
died ten years ago, she was succeeded by her grand-daughter,
who married a few years since, and she was succeeded in her
turn by an old man who attended at the different houses of
the square in which she lived, to go of errands, clean shoes,

with
the exception of two old lap dogs and a cat, was her only
cmiparlion. The house she occupied, No. 8, Eceleston-
square, was large and elegantly furnished, but very ancient.
The beds were constantly kept made, a!though they had not
been slept in for about 50 years. Her apartments being only
swept out, but never washed, the windows were so incrusted
with dirt that they hardly admitted a ray of light. She was
so partial to the fashions that prevailed in her youthful days
that she never altered the manner of her dress from that worn
is the reign
large toupee of George I. She always wore powder with a
, made of horsehair on her head, nearly half a
foot hig
under h, over which her hair was turned up, and a cap tied
the chin, but suflicientiy loose to allow three or four
stray curls to hang over her neck. She was generally attired
in a silk gown, the train long, with a very deep flounce, a long •
waist, tightly laced up to her neck, round which was a ruff
or frill. A large straw bonnet quite flat, high-heeled shoes, ,
a large black silk cloak, trimmed round with lace, and a
eolden-headed cane, completed her everyday costume for the '
last 90 years. and procured for her the Appellation of Lady
Lawson. Her manner of living was so methodical that she
would not drink her tea out of any other than a favourite cup,
and she was equally particular as to her knives, forks, plates,
&c. At breakfast she arranged in a particular manner the
paraphernalia of the table; at dinner she always observed a
general rule, and would never sit in any other than her favourite
chair. She had enjoyed an excellent state of health, and
never had, until a little previous to her death, an hour's ill-
ness, She entertained the greatest aversion to medicine ;
and what is remarkable, she cut two new teeth at the age of
85, and never lost one in her life. She lived in five reigrlf.,
and was supposed to be the mo;t faithful h tyrian ef the
time, the events of the year 173 q gein fetish in her recollec-
tion. A few data previous to tier death an old lady, who. was
bee that she frequently eecleimed her twit v 7.44 4tiM eckme,
tedtlenly died, which had such an, effect
and
that she should soon follow. She enjoyed all her faculties
until the peviOd preceding her dissolution, when she became
wcele eo refused medical aid. The funeral was eetreinnlY

CORN EXCHANGE.
There was a good arrival of Wheat last week, and mode-
-1 rate of other Grain ;of Flour tha quantity was fair. In con-
sequence of the showery weather, Wheat obtained more money
in the course of the week, but other grain experienced no al-
teration. This morning the fresh supplies of all sorts of Corn
are middling, and the weather being favourable, the buyers in
general purchased slowly. Wheat has supported an advance
of full Is. per qr. on last Monday's terms, and there is little
left unsold. Barley firmly maintains its last quotations.
Beans are not much in demand, and prices are unvaried.
Boil-
ing Peas are unaltered. Some new White Pease appeared,
but they remain unsold. Grey Peas continue as last reported.
The Oat trade is slack, but the rates cf this day se'nnight
have been maintained. In Flour there is no change in value,
but ship parcels find an improved sale. Very little new Rape
Seed appeared to-day, and last quotations remain.
