[ADVERTISEMENT.]--An Extraordinary Case of
Bilious Attack, Indigestion, and Flatulency Cured by
Holloway's Pills.—Khairatee Khan, a native merchant
of Patna, in the East Indies, suffered for years from bile,
indigestion, and flatuency, and, although he consulted the
most eminent surgeons of the province, yet he derived no
benefit from their treatment, but gradually became more
debilitated. Having one day a severer attack than usual
of these dreaded maladies, he determined to try Holloway's
Pills, and this fine medicine which has obtained such
high repute throughout the world, very soon reinstated
him in perfect health, and, in gratitude, for the benefit, he
desires this wonderful curo to be made public. Sold by
all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment,
244, Strand, London.

LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR THOMAS ARBUTHNOT,
K.C.B.—We are sorry to learn that this gallant general,
who is in command of the northern and midland districts,
is now very seriously ill. Indeed, yesterday afternoon
he wns considered to be in danger.—Manchester Guardian.

THE COUNTIIY MAIRK.ETS

NEvcc.l-TI.E-trpoN- (' N

week lias be,„"), upon ih,• whiie, of a s,,Ji at%
yesterday, however, we had rain, wi ilst 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
cradle 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
etocks 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
soaall when taken in connexion with the stocks that are
to be released, the generality of holders preferring to
retain thtir grain in bond, and abide by the result of
their liberation en the Ist of February. At our market
this morning we had a less supply of wheat from the
growers, and having very little offering from the coast,
fresh-thrashed samples were taken off readily at 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 lit ar of a single
transaction being concluded. 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-
day, we look for more disposition being manifested by
our dealers to purchase next week. Rye nominally the
same. The best descriptions of malting barley 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. Beans and peas much the same.
Having a less supply of oats from the country, with
more moderate arrivals coastwise, sales were more rea-
dily effected upon the terms of this day se'nnight. We
have no change to note in the duties.

WORCESTER.—OR 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 fid
per quarter cheaper. Peas rather more inquired for.
GLOUCESTER.—There was no alteration, on 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 kinds; 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, 591 b to 621 b,
38s to 445; extra, 455; white, 594 b to 621 h, 39s to 455;

DUBLIN, JAN. 23.—The supply of Wheat continues
small, and in consequence of the London Standard
stating that a 55. perman nt 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 tor Irish flour of prime quaUties.
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 fin
accident occurred at Pemberton's pit, Monkweamoulbt
which resulted in the death of Mr. J. Elliot, overman.
-About five o'clock, A.M., Mr. Elliot and the deputy*
overman, Mr. J. Henderson, having occasion to descend
the shaft, entered the " cage," or descending apparatus,
for that purpose. The machine is worked up and down
by a steam-engine, which was in charge of a Hawn named
Currey. Unfortunately this person let the parties enter
without there being sufficient steam to work the engin!
—indeed, as transpired at the inquest, not even enough
to raise the valve and lever without the weights. ill
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 n`
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 ben'
happened, ran away, but was apprehended, and is 130°
in custody. An inquest was held on deceased on Mow
day, and adjourned till Thursday (this day).
ST. MARY'S, SCILLY.—Fears are entertained that
a vessel was lost on the Western Rocks. on the night 01
the 18th inst., and that all hands have perished ; a few
lemons and oranges having been picked up, and also
beam and a cabin ladder. Two pilot boats went at
yesterday, but could not discover any of the wreck,
which is supposed to have drifted to the northward...-.
