A.RK LANE.

Very little wheat was received up to this morning's mar-
ket. The trade, however, was in a very sluggish state, at
fully Monday's decline in the quotations. Really fine
samples changed hands somewhat more freely than on that

day.
There was a good show of foreign wheat on the stands. In
all descriptions sales progressed slowly, yet no further
change took place in the currencies.
Floating cargoes of grain met a dull sale, at late rates.
Good and fine malting barley was firm in price, other-
wise the barley trade was dull, on rather easier terms.
Malt was in slow request, at about previous rates.
With oats the market was very moderately supplied, and
the trade ruled flint, at full quotations.
Beans and peas, the supply of which was small, changed
hands at extreme currencies.

In all kinds of flour a limited business was transacted, at
the late decline in prices. Barrels, however, changed hands
more freely.

BOROUGH HOP.
Good and fine new hops move off steadily, at full prices,
and useful old qualities command extreme rates. Inferior
parcels, however, are much neglected.

WHITECHAPEL.

4s 4d ; lamb, Os Od to Os Od ; veal, 3s 6d to 48 8d ; and pork,

CRINOLINE AND MACHINERY..—DEATH.—On
Monday afterncon an inquest was held at the Grand Turk,
Ludgate-hill, Birmingham, on the body of Emma Smith,
aged 28, the wife of Fines Smith. The Evidence showed
that on the night of Friday last deceased was at work at the
papier-machie manufactory of Mr. Evans, in Dartmouth-
street, and was engaged with a girl in rolling panels. Whilst
she was standing before the machine, and placing a panel
between the rollers, her dress, which was expanded with
crinoline, was caught between them, and she was dragged
into the machine. Her husband, who was working near,
came to her assistance, and threw the machine out of gear,
thus stopping it. The poor woman when extricated was
found to have her clothes literally torn off, and to have
both her legs broken, in addition to other injuries. She
was at once taken to the General Hospital, where she re-
ceived every possible care, and where she died at half-past
one o'clock the next morning. It was stated at the inquest
that the other parts of the machinery were boxed off, but
that there nad never been thought to be any danger at this
part, and that the poor woman would have been perfectly
safe had she not indulged in the vanity of wearing crino-
line. The jury at once returned a verdict of " Accidental
death."
ALARMING FlRE.—Yesterday forenoon, about 10
o'clock, a mounted police-officer arrived at the Southwark
Bridge .road station with intelligence that a fire had broken
out in the recently launched ship Reigate, lying in Lang-
ley's dockyard, Deptford-green. Mr. Rend rson at once
ordered engines to be despatched to the spot, but whilst the
horses were being put to a telegraph despatch was received
to the effect that another ship had become ignited in the
same yard. That caused Captain Shaw to send off engines
from various London stations, including one of the land
steamers by Shand and Mason. The large floating engine
from her Majesty's dockyard, one belonging to the firm,
and others from Penn's factory, and another from the
General Steam Navigation works, had previously arrived,
but it was some time before the exact seat of the fire could
be ascertained. The ship was therefore battened down, and
the float and two other engines were set to work, and the
Are was eventually extinguished, the damage done baing
only the destruction of some shayings and wood in the
t after had.
