MARKET NEWS—(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
An unusually small supplyof English wheat wagon sale in
to-day's market ; nevertheless, the demand was less active
than on Monday. In prices, however, no change took
place. For forward delivery, very little was doing.
Foreign wheat, the imports of which have amounted to
6,920 quarters, moved off steadily, at the late advance in
the quotations.
Floating cargoes sold freely, at full quotations, notwith-
standing that the arrivals off the coast have been large.
No 4nglish barley on offer. Foreign parcels changed
hands steadily, but no change took place in their value.
Malt sold freely at full currencies.
Oats were in good request, but not dearer. In the value
of beans and peas no change took place.
The top price of the best Town-made flour was 50s
per 2801bs.

SHOCKING SUICIDE WITH OIL OF VITRIOL.--Mr. W.
Baker, coroner, held an inquest at the Ship Tavern,
Catherine-street, St. George's-in-the-East, yesterday
afternoon, respecting the death of Ann Briffett, aged 23
years, lately residing at No. 3, Upper Chapman-street,
Commercial-road, who destroyed herself under the fol-
lowing shocking circumstances :—The deceased was a
single woman, and was much attached to a young man,
who had recently discarded her for another female, which
gave her great offence, and for several weeks her friend
had observed her sitting for hours in a desponding mood,
as if she was disturbed in her mind. On Tuesday, the 12th
inst., the deceased was seized with violent pains in her
stomach, and when her room was searched a bottle con-
taining oil of vitriol was found. She was questioned,
and acknowledged that she had drank a portion of the
liquid, which she had purchased at the shop of Mr.
Warne:-, the oilman, of No. 1, Cannon-street-road. A
surgeon was sent for, when antidotes were administered,
but the deceased gradually sunk, and died on Saturday.
Mr. Gatliff, surgeon, said the deceased died from the
effects of oil of vitriol, which was a deadly poison.
Witness questioned her as to the reason of her taking
the liquid, when she told him that some person had been
speaking disrespectfully of her, and she resolved upon
destroying herself. The Coroner having remarked on
the painful nature of the case, the jury returned a ver.
diet of if Temporary Insanity."
