SYDNEY, Dec. 14.—A Queensland paper of the
lOth
, of October states that it was reported at Wadi
-"ay that a number of blacks had come overland with an
account that a wreck was lying at Taguna (Moosa) Bay.
They had with them some sardine and salmon tins, dm,
Which they said were taken from a number of packages that
orate scattered on the beach. They also stated that large
blast
4 . "8 were lying on the north Head, and from the descrip-
tion given it was believed that the vessel must have been of
considerable; dimensions. October 22.—An extract from a
Laancestau paper, dated Oct. 17, states that while the party
Who prooaeded in the Freak to the Straits in search of evi-
dence of the loss of the Creole were at Swan Island, they
Were sb own by the lighthouse keeper the bowsprit, jibboom,
windlass end of a vessel of about 400 tons ; attached to
the jibboom was a wire stay. The inboard part of the bow-
sprit and the windlass end were painted blue, and from the
Ineecwhwoz.k attached being quite new she must have been a

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per
.£1 sterling. On
gold at Paris is about 3 per mine pm., and
comparing these rates With the English Mint price of £3
i7s. load. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is
nearly 2-10th rer cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices fromllanaburg the price of gold is 4254 per mark
and the short exchange on London .is 13.41 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mintprice is, therefore, about
3-10th per cent, dearer i:4l Hamburg than in London.

ACCIDENT TO THE DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND.—

Beasts ....

A very narrow escape from serious consequences oc•
curred to the Duchess of Sutherland on Friday evening
last, It appears that her Grace was returning from the
Rev. Dr. Cumming's Chapel to Stafford-house, when, a few
yards beyond Waterloo-place, a coal waggoner accidentally
touched the horse in the Duchess's brougham with his
whip. The high-spirited animal immediately started off at
ungovernable speed along Pall-mall, past the Palace into
Cleveland•square, and bolted by the narrow carriageway
up Cleveland-row. The footman was there thrown off
the box, and a few yards further on, opposite Sir James
Matheson's house, where there is a turn, the horse fell and
threw the driver off the box. The horse, however, in
stantly regained its feet and then bolted by the Earl Elles-
mere's house back to Pall-mall, and pursued its course as
far as the War Department, where by the courage of some
passers by it was stopped. The door of the brougham had
in therie meantime come
collision.n
‘n v itt hhe a
horse being lamp-post
secured,
the duchess, who had remained quietly in the carriage, left
the brougham, kindly inquired atter the safety of her ser •
%rants, and requested to be allowed to walk home to Stafford-
house. Her Grace was unhurt, but the coachman and
footman are severely contused.

THE SUN. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, DECHNIBER 21, 1863.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
In the country markets held on Saturday, dry samples of
English wheat were in moderate request, and prices ruled
tolerably firm. inferior qualities, however, barely sup-
ported previous rates. For all descriptions of spring corn,
the trade was in a sluggish state, and, with the exception
of fine malting barley, the quotations had a downward ten-
dency.
We learn from New York that the export demand for
wheat and flour bad improved, and that a moderate busi-
ness was doing on higher terms. On the Continent, wheat
commands more attention fur shipment.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were tolerably large. The imports from abroad
amounted to 19,449 quarters of wheat; 16,004, barley;
19,302, oats; 3,851, beans; 305, peas; 1,534, tares; 170,
linseed ; 208, rapeseed ; 5,200, maize ; and 610 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of home-grown
wheat were only moderate, but there was a slight improve-
ment in the general condition of the produce, when com-
pared with Monday last. The trade was in a sluggish state
for all qualities. Even good and fine dry parcels sold
heavily at a decline of is per quarter from this day se'nnight ;
and damp produce, although offered at a similar reduction
met with few inquiries. A total clearance of the supply,
consequently, was not effected at the close of business.
There was a somewhat increased supply of foreign wheat
on the stands. The demand for all descriptions ruled
heavy, and prices were in several instances ls. per quarter
heavier than on Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at barely
late rates.
The supply of barley, both English and foreign, was
moderately large. Good and fine malting parcels were in
fair request, and prices were steadily supported. Inferior
qualities, however, including grinding and distilling de-
scriptions sold heavily, at fully the recent decline in their
value.
The supplies of malt on sale was very large, and the
trade ruled heavy at the late reduction in the currency.
The market was moderately supplied with oats. Gene-
rally speaking the trade was dull, and ill-conditioned pro-
duce was rather cheaper.
Beans were in fair supply and moderate request, at late
rates.
Grey peas sold heavily, at a decline in prices of is to 2s
per quarter. Other kinds were unaltered in value from
Monday last. The show of samples was moderately good.
BarreLflour—the supply of which was very small—ruled
firm. Town and country made descriptions met a dull
sale, and inferior parcels of the latter were somewhat
cheaper.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
About an average Pupply of foreign stock was on sale
here to-day, and sales progressed slowly, at barely sta-
tionary prices. Some of the foreign sheep were exhibited in
prime condition.
Fresh up, this morning the receipts of beasts from our
grazing districts were seasonably good; whilst there were
about 500 on offer left over from Monday last. For all
breeds the demand was in a very inactive state, at Tues
day's decline in the quotations. The highest figure for the
best Scots was ss. per 81bs., and a total clearance was not
effected.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 1,500 short horns ; from Norfolk, 300
Scots and crosses ; from other parts of England, '2OO vari-
ous breeds; from Scotland, 80 Scots; and from Ireland,
150 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was only mode-
rate. Good and prime Downs and half-breeds met a slow
sale, but at full prices, the top figure being 6s. per 81bs.
Inferior breeds moved off heavily, at last Monday's decline.
The general quality of the sheep was good. Calves, the
supply of which was limited, were in slow request, at last
Nlonday's quotations, Thursday's advance not being sup-
ported. The top price was ss. per 81b.
The pork trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.

wool is to be obtained except at full quotations. In colo-
nial wool, by private contract, sales progress slowly, on
former terms. Advices from Sydney, Melbourne, and
Adelaide state that the new clip had commenced to arrive,
but there was in several quarters considerable disappoint-
ment as to the quality of the produce. The season was late,
owing to heavy rains and floods in the interior. The im-
port last week was 630 bales from Port Philip, and 107
bales Irono Bremen.

SEEDS.
Canary seed is very firm, at enhanced rates. All other
seeds, however, are a slow sale, at late currencies. Cakes
move off slowly, on former terms.
