COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE
(THIS DAY.)

We have French and Malta mails in town this morning.
The latter informs us that the cholera had sensibly declined,
and that commerce was reviving ; from the former we learn
that the markets for Colonial produce in France were not so
firm. Other markets much as last reported ; particulars below.
The imports at the port of London show not any East or
West India produce. The only articles worthy of no-
tice arc Speltcr and Foreign Butter. Of the for-
mer 35,234 plates have arrived, and of the latter
3.925 casks. There are but few vessels arrived off our coasts
that are not reported ; the shipping season is now advancing to
a close, and a great number more cannot be expected from
any quarter.
l'he sales of Colonial and other produce advertised for the
week are heavy, amongst which those of Sugar, Coffee, Co-
coa and Spices are the most prominent. There are also some
large sales of Saltpetre advertised.
In the face of these sales Saltpetre is flat, but not lower. The
loss of that fine packet ship Don Juan has created a great
sensation in all our Markets and places of resort to-day. The
money which the packet cost building is said to be immense :
some say 40,0001. That no specie or lives were lost has been
a matter of great congratulation. The vessel was insured for
25,000/. The letters are all preserved.
SUGAR, B. P.—The quiet of last week still continues in
this market, and prices are without variation. Refined Sugar
is 335. for fine Crushed ; and 745. for Lumps to pass the
standard—but little doing.
TEA is very firm in price. The stocks are light, and the
deliveries good.
Sricas.—There are numerous enquiries after Pepper,
Cassia, and Pimento. Speculations are attracted to them;
prices same as last week.
SILK.—The stock is light. A steady business is doing, at
firm prices.
COTTON in the London market is in fair demand, at firm
prices. The Liverpool accounts this morning are good.
INDIGO secures a steady demand both for Spanish and East
India, at the recently advanced prices. In Dyewoods nothing
doing of moment, either public or private.
PROVISION MARI-CIT.—In this great market the only varia
tion is in butter, which is 2s. per cwt. lower for Irish and
Foreign, in consequence of large arrivals.
TALLOW.—P. Y. C. is dull again to day at 895. 6d. to
395. 9d.

---
DRUG MARKET.—There is no business doing here but for
immediate consumption. Prices coatinue very uniform with
what they have been for some time.
FOREIGN COMMERCIAL.

The accounts received to-day from the Continent are of
very little commercial interest.
At Havre the Cotton-market was flat, and the sales insig-
nificant, although holders had given way. Coffee is reported
in less demand, and the quotations barely supported ; the
same with French Colonial Sugar, the stock of which is,
however, daily diminishing, being now only 6,700 hhds.
against 17,500 hhds. at the same time last year.
Seed Oils are still on the advance at the markets in the
North of France, and the trade is stated very lively.
From Bordeaux Rums are reported suddenly to have ad-
vanced, and considerable transactions had been effected at the
improvement. Brandy for forward delivery was on the de-
cline. Very large parcels of Gum Senegal have been taken
on speculation, but the prices are kept secret.
The accounts from Portugal arc without any mercantile
intelligence worth noticing.

The Don Juan steamer, from Gibraltar, was wrecked on
Tarifa Point, 16th inst. ; crew, passengers, and mails saved.

LOSS OF THE DON JUAN STEAMER.
British Consulate, Cadiz, Sept. 18.
I regret excessively to acquaint you that the Don Juan
steamer, with the mails on board for England, struck during
a dense fog, about four o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, the
15th, on a rock close to Tarifa Light-house. commonly called
Tarifa Point, and is now a complete wreck. Providentially
no lives were lost. Most of the passengers returned to Gi-
braltar, from whence you will receive further particulars.
P. S. The late commander of the Don Juan has come in
since in the Medea, from Gibraltar, and, I presume, is going
home.
The agent to Lloyds' at Gibraltar had sent assistance to the
wreck. I communicated the fate of the Don Juan as I learnt
it myself late last evening, to Captain St. John Mildmay,
commanding head officer in this Bay; and as her Mrjesty's
ship Trinculo, Captain Coffin, got under weigh this morning,
at clay-light, and is gone to the eastward, I presume she has
been ordered by Capt. Mildmay to Tarifa.

Farren opens at the Olympic in Squire Broad-
lands, in Dance's farce of The Country Squire, and will
afterwards appear as Mr. Oddbody, in a new burletta en-
titled Advice Gratis, in which also Mr. Stocker will make
his first appearance. Little Keely will make his re-
appearance in a new burletta called The New Servant, in
which he will play Inigo Mastic°, and his clever little wife
will make her first appearance here as Xarifa, in the same
entertainment. In the favourite vaudeville of The Loan

of a Lover, Keely resumes his character of Peter Spyk ;
James Vining, Captain Amersfort ; and Gertrude, Madame
Vestris. The house has been entirely renovated, and looks
as fresh as it did last season, when it was done up afresh.
The band is numerous and efficient, under the able direction
of Mr. W. Penson.
On Saturday an Inquest was held at the Court
House, Leeds, on view of the body of John Bailey, aged
22, who was in the employ of his father, Mr. James
Dailey, a hatter in Briggate. The unfortunate young man
had been married about a year to a respectable female from
Holbeck. It appeared that on Thursday afternoon last,

deceased had been thinking and card-playing with some
company at a public-house, both unknown, and that by
marking the cards and other stratagems and devices they
had cheated him out of a sovereign, and he having de-
tected the imposition, refused to pay the amount, left the
house, and was followed into the street by the parties,
who threatened to maltreat him if he did not pay the
sovereign. Two of the police having made their ap-
pearance, the impostors, fearing that they would get
into trouble, walked away, and the deceased afterwards met
a companion in the street, to whom he related the
above circumstances, being the worse for liquor at the
time. He requested his companion to wait in the street
until he went into two druggists' shops ; when he came out
of the latter he stated that he had purchased three-penny-
worth of mercury to poison some rats with at his mother-
in•law's, at Holbeck. In the evening they went to the
theatre, and the deceased ga%e his companion an apple,
which, on tasting, took the skin from his mouth, and he
desisted from eating any portion of it. The deceased left
him to go into another part of the house, and he saw no
more of him. Bailey shortly afterwards returned hone,
and began vomiting very violently, and medical aid was
promptly procured, but in the course of the night lie ex-
pired. Verdict—" That the deceased died in consequence
of having administered to himself poison, while labouring
under temporary insanity."
The Irish steamers are now daily arriving at the
BroomielaW, Glasgow, with their hold chock-full of new
grain and oatmeal, and their decks completely crowded
with tine young horned cattle, sheep, and lambs, and a great
deal of beef, which is retailed by the dealers at abco.",
