MARKETS—This Day.

MAIM-LANE.

The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Sa-
turday was very quiet, and in some instances prices de-
clined to the extent of is. per quarter. Barley and oats
moved off slowly, nevertheless the quotations were toler-
ably firm. Beans and peas changed hands at extreme rates.
The flour trade was quiet at full prices.
Advices from America report increased, but far from ex-
tensive, shipments of flour to this country. The exports
of wheat, however, had continued trifling. On the conti-
nent the corn trade generally is rather quiet.
Fresh up to our market to-day the receipts of English
wheat were decidedly on the increase from Essex and
Kent, but the condition of the produce was very middling.
The trade for all qualities was in a most inactive state.
The few dry samples moved off at about in some instances
the prices of Monday last. In damp samples sales pro-
gressed very slowly, and the quotations were is to 2s per
quarter lower than on this day se'nnight.
There was a fair supply of foreign wheat on the stands.
For all descriptions the trade was dull, and a decline of is
per quarter took place in prices.
Floating_ cargoes of wheat were very dull on easier terms.
Spring corn afloat was very firm.
There was a fair supply of barley on offer. Good and
fine malting qualities were firm in price, but inferior barley
met a slow sale at barely late rates.
The malt trade was quiet, and the quotations were some-
what easier.

Oats were a good supply. On the whole, the trade was
steady at last Monday's currency.
Beans were in very moderate supply, and the trade was
steady at late prices.

Peas fully support late rates. The market was scantily
supplied.
In flour only a moderate business was transacted on
former terms.

but the demand for nearly all other seeds was inactive.
Cakes were in steady'request, at enhanced quotations.

More Gold !

(From the New York Tribune)

The fact that gold was discovered some months
since, in that portion of Minnesota which adjoins the head
of Lake Superior, is sufficiently known. We now learn
that still larger and more promising discoveries have very
recently been made near Lake Vermillion, considerably
further north.

The gold is not found in its native state, as in California,
but in iron and copper pyrites, as in Idaho.
It is in bright sparkling quartz veins from three inches
to ten feet in width, and extends for miles ; the amount,
in fact, being almost unlimited. .
Surface quartz from theso veins has beon assayed at the
mint in Philadelphia, and by Professor Kent of New York,
and pronounced in both instances to average over $3O of
gold to the ton.
If these veins increase in richness as they descend—as
is almost invariably the case in Idaho and California—it is
reasonable to suppose that they will soon yield a profit of
$5O or $6O to the ton.
The yield of the quartz rock on the Pacific coast varies
from $1 to $3OO per ton, but the best paying mines aver-
age less than $25 per ton.
The lands in the vicinity of the mines are unsurveyed,
and can for the present only be secured by scrip; which
has had the effect of raising Chippewa from 85 cents to $4,
and Sioux from $2 50c. to $l2 per acre.

A frightful attack of neuralgia in the face and
mouth cured by a few doses of Monfsorrs PILLS, the vege-
table universal medicine of the British College of Health,
Euston-road, London, after other means had failed. Sold
by the hygeian agents and all medicine vendors.

HORRIBLE MUTILATION.—KING'S LYNN, ►Satur-
day.—A most horrible accident occurred last even-
ing on the Lynn and Wisbech branch of the Great Eastern
.railway, at a place called Wiggenhall St. Mary Magdalen,
about eight miles from this place, on the banks of the
Ouse. The 730 train at Lynch for Wisbech had left Mag-
dalen station but a short time when the driver of the
engine felt it go over something. The night being dark,
he had seen no obstruction on the line, but being alarmed
at what he had felt, he shut off steam, and, applytng the
break, brought the train to a standstill. On proceed-
ing back to the place where he felt the engine pass over
something, he saw a number of human remains fright-
fully mangled, and found they were the bodies of two per-
pons, one of whom was cut all to pieces, a leg lying here,
an arm there, and tho head and the heart elsewhere ; and the
other severely mangled, but not killed. Assistance being
obtained, it was fouud that the men belonged to the village,
the one so frightfully and fatally mangled being a married
man, named Gunton, the father of a family of 10_ children.
The other is an elderly man. It is said the latter was very
intoxicated, and the former was acting the charitable part
of taking the old man home. It is supposed that deceased
either did not hear the train which came behind him or else
was engaged in the laudable, but, as it turned out, fatally
unfortunate endeavour to get his companion away from the
line, when they both fell; deceased being foremost was cut
all to pieces, and death must have been instantaneous. The
old man, though dreadfully injured, is still alive, and hopes
are entertained of his ultimate recovery. No blame what-
ever is attached to the railway company's servants who had
charge of the train.
Captain Wilson and the party of explorers have
left England for Palestine. Capt. Wilson is to land at
Beyrout, and to go by way of Damascus, Banias, Bodes, to
Tell Hum, on the Lake of Galilee. Thence he will pro-
ceed, by way of Cana, to Beisan, and by Zerin to Nabalus
and Sebastiyeh. He will then visit Seilum, tho ancient
tombs at Tibuch, Beitin, and Jerusalem. At each of the
above spots he will make such explorations as he may find
feasible and desirable.

A GRACEFUL AND BENEFCENT ACT.-11113. ArttOtt,
widow of the well-known Dr. Arnott, author of "Physic,"
has signified her intention of endowing two scholarships
for the study of natural philosophy—the one at the Queen's
College, Harley-street, the other at the Ladies' College,
Bedford-square, to be called the Arnott scholarships, in
memory of her late husband.—Builder.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess
de Montpensier, family, and suite, arrived at Ply-
mouth per South Devon Railway, on Friday, from Exeter,
where they had remained on Thursday night. On Satur-
day they embarked in the Spanish steam-frigate Gorgona,
Captain Escalero, to proceed early on Sunday morning
for Ferrol, but were delayed to later in the day, through
the half-gale, with thick weather, that had set in.
MORE SHIPPING DISASTERS AND Loss OF LIFE.
—The late gales in the Atlantic have been most destruc:
tive to shipping. Advices received in Liverpool from New
York to November 4th announced tho following disaster :
—The ship Polar Star, Captain West, has arrived, after
a passage of 50 days from Liverpool. She experienced
very severe westerly gales, which split all her sails,
damaged the standing rigging very much, and carried away
her boats, &c. The ship Atmosphere, also from Liverpool,
had arrived. On the 13th October, Captain Eves reports
the prevalence of a fearful gale from the W.N.W., which
sprung the mainmast. On the 17th, in lat. 42.15, lon.
5442, carried away crossjackyard. The Atmosphere had
a continuation of heavy gales from the W.N.W. to W.S.W.
since October 6. The ship M. Nottebohn, Captain Lamb,
from the Mersey, had also arrived at New York, reports
on Oct. 16, in lat. 40.05, lon. 57.35, a seaman named T.
M'Glode, of Liverpool, fell from the jibboom overboard,
and was lost. This vessel also encountered heavy westerly
gales on the passage out ; lost some of her sails, and was
otherwise damaged. The ship Ocean Ranger, from Liver-
pool to Savannah, which went ashore on Monday morning
at Malahide, near Eowth, has become a total wreck. The
crew have been saved.

GEN. GRANT.—MiIes O'Reilly, formerly one
of Gen. Halleck's staff, but now editor of the New York
Citizen, intimates very strongly that Gen. Grant is doing
a little too much of the hand-shaking and starring busi-
ness. It says :—" Can we take his refusal to speak in
public as any evidence of excessive modesty when we find
him rushing frantically about in all directions to receive
the cheers, banners, bows, triumphal arches and compli-
ments which the public have not yet grown weary of
offering to his nodding but silent image ? That a public
man should not speak too often or make his views too
cheap, is very true; but when, as iu Gen. Grant's case, a
man never speaks at all, and leaves us in doubt whether
he has ary a red view about him,' the error is clearly on
the side of excessive reticence. If he be so painfully diffi-
dent that he cannot utter even ten words to the crowds he
sees kotooing and hullabalooing about his carriage, hotel
or railway car—why does he continue to have his very
eminent modesty toted all around from Dan to Beersheba,
as if with a hunger never to be satisfied for the shouts and
ovations of his fellow-citizens ? Some people say that
Tecumseh Sherman has done too much talking, and per-
haps this may be true. Is not Grant doing just a leetle
too much of the starring and hand-shaking business ?"
SHOOTING IN CALIFORNIA.—Shooting isn't as
popular in Nevada as it once was. A few years since they
used to have a dead man for breakfast every morning.
A reformed desperado told me that he supposed he had
killed men enough to stock a grave-yard. "A feeling of
remorse," he said, " sometimes comes over me! But I'm
an altered man now. I hadn't killed a man for over two
weeks ! What'll yer poison yourself with ?" he added,
dealing a resonant blow on the bar. There used to live
near Carson City a notorious desperado, who never visited
town without killing somebody. Ile would call for liquor
at some drinking-house, and if anybody declined joining
him he would at once commence shooting. But one day
he shot a man too many. Going into St. Nicholas drink-
ing-house, he asked the company present to join him in a
North American drink. One individual was rash enough
to refuse. With a look of sorrow rather than of anger,
the desperado revealed his revolver, and said, " Good God!
Must I kill a man every time I come to Carson ?" and so

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—Thus Day,

OLD COURT.

The November sessions of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning, before the Lord Mayor, the
Sheriffs, and the Common Sergeant.
In charging the grand jury, the Common Sergeant said
the session would perhaps be of longer duration than usual,
in consequence of the cases in the calendar being of more
thanusual seriouness. Tho learned gentlemanthen.referred
to thoprincipal indictments, one of which was the attempted
murder in Covent-garden by a young man named
Murphy. If they theught that the intention of the pri-
soner was to deprive the young woman of life, then they
would .of course return a true bill against him. There was
a charge against Dr. Hunter by a Married woman named
Merrick. It was a very serious charge, and one which it was
exceedingly difficult to disprove. Having detailed the facts,
which have already appeared, the learned gentleman said it
was undoubtedly aserious charge, but there was something
very extraordinary and peculiar in Mrs. Merrick's evidence,
as it appeared in the deposition. She raised no alarm, made
no complaint, and immediately of ter the alleged transaction
left the house. Probably the grand jury would think it
Well for both the public and Dr. Hunter to find a true bill,
because it was most necessary that the matter should be
fully investigated. The next reference that the learned
gentleman made was to the indictment against Mr. Hall, the
solicitor, and Mr. Lafoucade, which has been so many times
before the public in connection with the name of Madame
Valentin. The grand jury then returned to their room,
and in a short time the trials commenced.
At the conclusion of the Common Sergeant's charge Dr.
Hunter, in company with his solicitor, entered the court
and took his seat below the bar, but he did not remain for
more than five or six minutes in court.
