CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

- -
Coastwise the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market during the present week have been tolerably
good, while those by land carriage have proved somewhat
; :tteu'ive. About 500 quarters of new were rec.-ive d
resit up to-day, and the show of both red and white was
considet ably in excess of she demand, which ruled heavy.
at in some instanc,s a fur:her sd,ht decline in the tito-
f4tiulls, without effecting a clearance. The total imports of
'reign Wheat have not exceeded 3,520 quarters. Selected
samples moved off slowly, at about stationary pi ic,s.
'lost other kinds were somewhat easier to purchase.
Put Barley, the show of whielt was not large, we hld a
sluw '
- Inquiry at barely last week's currencie,. In Mali
next
10 no, hip was doing, and prices were alrri,st
aorninal. Very few English Oafs vit,:,re on the market,
and the show of foreign was but moderate. The Oat
trade ruled heavy, at Monday's decline. Bans, Peas,

Although the supply of Beasts in to-day's market was
1t moderate as to number, and of very middling qua-
-I!tYe the Beef trade ruled inactive, at barely Monday's
decline in the quotation. The top figure for the best
sorts was 3s 8,1 per Blbs. Amongst the stock were 10
xen from Spain. The number of Sheep was somewhat
on the decrease ; yet the inquiry for that description of
stock was heavy. In prices, however, we have no change
to notice. With Lambs, we were seasonably well sup-
Plkd- All bre els met a very slow sale, and last week's
currencies were with difficulty supported. Calves, the
suPPly of which was good, were a mere drug, at from 3s
t° 3s 61 per Sibs. Tee Pork trade was heavy at late
rates. Mikh Cows were quoted at from 141 to 181 each,
including their small Calf.

EARFUL ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPB.
Yesterday morning it appears that Mr. R. Webb, o,
Covent-garden, was trying a fine animal with another
gentleman, in his dog-cart. when they had not pro-
ceeded further than Mr. John Kirby's, of Great Russell-
street, Blo,,mahury, on business; the moment Mr. Webb
got into the gig the horse darted off at a terrific speed
until it reached Museum-street, when a fearful collision
took place. A large dust• cart was standing in the
road, which no doubt alarmed the horse more, until he
earne madly onward in the front, running the thick shaft
of the cart above sixteen inches deep into the animal's
stomach. The occurrence was so sudden that it is
Miraculous how the gentlemen escaped with their lives.
Mr. Webb had presence of mind to spring out on the
Pavement, fortunately without sustaining more injuries
than a few bruises. The other gentleman was not hurt
',ll the least, nor the dog-cart or harness. The animal
(lied immediately. An immense concourse of people
Were assembled, who expressed their surprise that dust-
?arts should be allowed to stand loitering about •so late
hithe morning. The man was putting the nose-bag on
8 horse at the time, and fortunately escaped from harm.
0 blame can be attached to any one, as the horse was
it furious one and only, just up from grass.

Private vkw took place of the above elegant piece of
Piste, which will be competed for at the eusuicg War-
wick races, and which will this day and Saturday be
