MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat in to-day's market was
chiefly composed of Monday's unsold samples, the general
condition of which was very inferior. The tendance of
buyers was limited, whilst the demand was in a depressed
state, at almost nominal currencies. _

The imports of foreign wheat are 5,750 quarters, chiefly
from the lower Baltic ports. For all kinds we had a dull
inquiry, and in some instances, prices had a downward
tendency. Floating cargoes commanded scarcely any
attention.

Malting barley was held at full quotations ; but grinding
and distilling sorts were dull in the extreme. In malt,
very little was doing.
The oat trade was heavy, but we have no further decline
to notice in prices: _

Beans, pe;.s, and flour, were quite neglected.

STRANGE DEATH.—Two yOung men of the Nillage of
Brandes, in France, lately perished in a very
manner. They went out to shoot wild ducks, ainntiu ?i,nr
order to arrive at the marshy ground which the birds
frequented, they determined to proceed down the canal
in a boat, and then crossing over to the other side to
walk the rest of the way. The waters beg unusually
high in consequence of the ra-rs, the young men found
that they could scarcely pas: under Vie arch in their
boat. They thought, it is supoLed, that by lying down
in the boat they could pass. It so ha,ppe.ied that the
water was higher than they thought, end was risino-
every moment, so that when the boat h.a got under the
arch, it stuck fast, thus enclosing the young men com-
pletely without their having any means of extricating
themselvei. They were found two days after dead in
the boat and clasped in each other's arms.
