THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. JAN. 20.—. The neather this
week has been, upon the whole, of a stormy character;
yesterday, however, ae had rain, whilst to day it is dry,
with an appearance of frost. The trade during the pre-
sent week has ruled steady, but the business done in any
article has been purely of a retail character, our con-
sumers merely taking what they require for their weekly
wants, and we apprehend such will be the course gene-
rally adopted with respect to free corn, until the bonded
stocks shall have been released. We hear now and then
of a cargo of bonded being taken to hold over, but the
quantity which has changed hands is comparatively
small when taken in connexion with the stocks that are
to be released, the generality of holders -preferring to
retain their grain in bond, and abide hs,the result of
their liberation on the Ist of February. "At our market
this morning we had a less supply, of wheat froth the
growers, and having very little offering from the coast,
fresh-thrashed samples were taken off readily it last
week's prices, south country, as well as free foreign, at
the same time meeting rather more inquiry, at fully
former rates. In bonded we did not hear of a single
transaction being concltv!ed. Flour was held with more
firmness, but the sale was by no means free; still, how-
ever, from the firm tone pervading the wheat trade to 7.
day, we look for more disposition being manifested by
our dealers to purchase next week. Rye nominally the
same. The best descriptions of malting b,rley continu-
ing comparatively scarce, for such late prices were
amply sustained; but ordinary sorts were most difficult
of disposal, and could have been had on rather easier
terms. For malt we have little inquiry, and prices are
still downwards. Bi fins and peas much the same.
Having a less supply of eats from the country, with
more moderato arrivals coastwise, sales were more rea-
dily effected upon the terms of this day se'unight. We
have no change to note in the duties.

WORCESTER.—On Saturday there was a fair supply of
wheat, which was taken off slowly at the rates of this
day se'nnight. Barley nominally unaltered. Oats 6d
per quarter cheaper. Peas rather more inqnired for.
GLOUCESTER.—There was no alteration, o❑ Saturday
last, in the value of wheat of English growth, but sales
were very limited. A little concession was made in some
sales of free foreign wheat, but the price in bond was
fully maintained. The trade in barley is dull, but the
value unaltered. Oats and beans are somewhat lower in
price.
WISBECH, JAN. 20.—We are moderately supplied
with grain of all kind,; the condition very much affected
by the damp mild weather. Good dry wheat in fair
demand, at fully the rates of last week, whilst the raw
out•of-conditioned samples are bad to sell, at rather less
money. Oats and beans dull, but last week's,prices given.
Prices to the growers:—wheat, new red, 5911) to 621 b,
38s to 445; extra, 455; white, 591 b to 621 b, 39a to 455;

DUBLIN, JAN. 23.—The supply of Wheat continues
small, and in consequence of the London Standard
stating that a ss. permanent duty would be put on, caused
a little more life than heretofore, but no advance could
be obtained. Oats, barley, &c., remains as last noted;
there is more inquiry for Irish flour of prime qualities.
Foreign wheat, and Indian corn are as last noted.

BELFAST, JAN. 19.—This morning we have large sup•
plies of grain and oatmeal. Wheat, barley, and oat-
meal met a slow sale at a reduction of 3d, and oats sold

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.-011 Sunday last an
accident occurred at Pemberton's pit, Monkwearmouth,
which resulted in the death of Mr. J. Elliot, overman.
About five o'clock, A at., Mr. Elliot and the deputy-
overman, Mr. J. Henderson, having occasion to descend
the shaft, entered the "cage," or descending arparetus,
for that purpose. The machine is worked up and down
by a steam-engine, which was in charge of a man named
Currey. Unfut timately this person let the parties enter
without there being sufficient steam to work the engine
—indeed, as transpired at the inquest, not even enough
to raise the valve and lever without the weights. In
consequence of this, and the rope being 320 fathoms in
length and about five tons in weight, with a counter-
balance wheel and fourteen tons of chain (the pit being
1,800 feet deep, the deepest shaft in the district) the
cage was drawn up and down, entirely out of the engine
man's control, and at last, going upwards, sprang from
the grooves. Elliot was thrown upon the edge of the
pit, and fell thence down the shaft, at the bottom of
which he was afterwards .found literally dashed limb
from limb by the fall. Henderson was more fortu-
nate, having fallen on the bank of the pit. He escaped
with some bruises. Currey, ..frightened at what bad
happened, ran away, but was apprehended, and is now
in custody. An inquest was held on deceased on Mon-
day, and adjourned till Thursday (this day).
ST. MARY'S, SCILLY.—Fears are entertained that
a vessel was lost on the Western Rucks. on the night of
the 18th inst.,_and that all hands have perished ; a few
lemons and oranges having been picked up, and also a •
beam and a cabin ladder. Two pilot boats went out
yesterday, but could not discover any of the wreck,
which is supposed to have drifted to the northward.--
