THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of most kinds of (irain this week are fair, and
of Flour good. The continuation of fine weather keeps the
Wheat trade very dull, and prices are declined 2s. to 3s. per
quarter since Monday. In other Grain there is little doing,
and last quoted rates are barely supported. The demand for
Flour has this week been very limited, as a reduction is ex-
pected next week. Should the weekly average published
next week be not more than 2s. 3d. below the last, the duty
on Foreign will then be Is. The London average is only
2s. Id. below the week previous.

COLONIAL MARKETS.

Great quiet pervades these markets, and the transactions are
very slender; indeed, the market is without interest. Sugar,
B. P., sells languidly, and prices are not firm ; we can scarcely
quote them so high as we did yesterday. In Refined Sugar
there is no variation in price, but the market is very dull.
To-day, by public sale, we had 1,000 bags Saltpetre, which
fetched former prices of 225. to 265., according to quality.
Rice 1,300 bags, which sold, according to kind, at prices
between 14s. and 17s. Ginger, 2,000 bags Bengal, sold at
much their previous value. Coffee, 198 cks. and bags B. P. sold
at the last quotations, which are marked at 925. to 106 s. for
good and fine ord. 108 s. to 115 s. for low mid. and mid., and
1165. to 131 s. for good middling to fine. Cocoa, 155 bags
Trinidad, sold at 395. 6d. to 525., according to quality. These
were all the public sales of any interest or importance to-day
in the Colonial market. During the week there has been
but a very circumscribed business done, and under such cir-
cumstances prices have undergone very little variation indeed.
The Imports continue heavy.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Atto. 30.
Buyers of American common qualities had a slight advan-
tage to-day, there being more of these sorts offering; other
descriptions, however, remain firm. The sales consist of
2,000 bags only. 250 Pernam and Ocara Bd. to sid. ; 50
Surat 4id. to sd. ; 150 Bahia 70. to Bid. ; 1,550 American
54d. to Bd.

Yesterday morning a fine girl about fourteen years
of age, the daughter of Mr. Winstanley, tailor, of Portland-
street, Portland-place, was warming some turpentine in an
earthen pot, on the fire, when it suddenly boiled over, and
here clothes happened to catch the blaze, she shrieked out
for assistance, but before any one came she was so dread-
fully burned that not the slightest hopes are entertained for
her recovery.
