MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

$l5. The body decayed so fast that it became neces-
sary to bury her yesterday.
She left the following poetry, and a postscript which
gives a clue to her state of mind :
" 0 Cyrus, dear Cyrus,
It was for loving you
That makes me so unhappy,
For you have proved to me untrue.
"How many times you have promised
That you would marry me,
But how little did I think
That ruined I should be.
I know you have tried to ruin me,
But now I'm far away,
And perhaps we ne'er shall meet again
Until the judgment day.
"I have strayed far from friends and home,
You for to forget,
But you are ever present,
And you I think of yet.
" Now you and I are parted,
Perhaps never in this world to meet,
Remember there is a meeting—
It will be at the judgment seat.
" Pray, think how you have wronged me,
And remember what you have said ;
And may it not escape your mind
When on your dying bed.
" And when our bodies they are laid
Beneath the cold, cold clod,
Our spirits will return unto
A just and holy God.
" And then to be judged.
By the God that rd es on high ;
The Judgment's fast approaching—
The Judge, he will not lie."
" Cyrus,—Several months have elapsed since I saw you,
and how many sad. hours I have seen within that time. I
often think—oh that I had never seen you, for you have
destroyed my happiness, I fear, for ever. Now, while you
are enjoying yourself in the gay world, remember that you
have been the destroyer ofione's happiness—one that loved
you sincerely. If you had treated me as you should, you
would have found in me a devoted friend. What is passed
eannot be recalled. lam now far from those that I once
prized as friends."
Miss Cotton was an intimate friend of a Miss Davis,
with whom she had conversed freely about these matters
for a year or two past, and with whom she was most of
the day (Sunday), and with whom she left all of her af-
fairs in charge, averring that she should drown herself.
Miss Davis did not believe that she was in earnest till
she saw her jump into that fatal stream.

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with En-
glish wheat. At the opening of the trade, factors gene-
rally demanded a rise on Monday's prices of fully is per
quarter; but, as the import of foreign flour was rather ex
tensive, millers operated cautiously. However, a full
average business was transacted, and prices were the turn
in favour of sellers.
From abroad, 15,520 quarters of wheat have arrived this
week. The trade ruled firm, and Monday's currencies were
rather exceeded.
Floating cargoes were mostly held on higher terms.
There was a good inquiry for barley, at extreme quo-
tation.
There was a good inquiry for malt, the value of which
had an upward tendency.
Oats moved off briskly, at is per quarter more money.
Beans, peas, and flour were firm, at the late advance.
The top price of the best town-made flour was 65s per
280 lbs

SMITHFIELD.

The supply of beasts on offer in to-day's market was but
moderate. The few prime breeds brought forward sold
steadily, at full prices. Otherwise, the beef trade was in
a very inactive state, at barely late figures. There was
only a limited inquiry for sheep —the number of which
was seasonably good—at unaltered quotations. The
primest old Downs sold at 5s 2d per 18 lbs. We had a
very dull inquiry for calves, at barely stationary prices.
Pigs moved off steadily, at the late advance.
Milch cows were dull, at from 15/ 15s to 19/ 5s each, in-
cludine their small calf.
