ENLIGHTENED JUILYMEN.--A bout a week since, in
a neighbouring village, an inquest was held upon the
body.of a poor man. Now it often happens that after
the business has been ended and the coroner left, the
" gentlemen of the jury" discuss the " matters in ques-
tion," at the same time inhaling the contents of some
three or four glasses of foreign spirits, and metamor-
phosing a certain foreign weed into ashes. In this last
state of unalloyed happiness sat these verdictorians—
glorious sons of Bacchus--when we entered the room;
and having an interest in the cause of this man's death,
we asked their verdict. One Jolly.faced man, very con-
tentedly puffing away at his long tube, asked ,his lef t-
hand friend if he recollected what " the krunner caw'd
it," but he had forgotten. In succession each and all
were applied to, and in vain. But suddenly a light of
inspiration seemed to suffuse the face of the jolly gentle-
man aforesaid, and he instantly replied, " Aii know
neaw; it wur a Latin word the krunner caw'd it." T his
satisfied all present, ourselves Inclusive. Afterwards we
were passing through the village, and heard ono man
ask another what the verdict was. " Whah," he says,
" it's a quare word; ah think they cawn it crirn. con. or
else sine die."—tViiian Times.

APPLES.—In ICl"ormandy and Brittany the apples
used for cider are in extraordinary abundance. In the
memory of man the trees were never seen so abundant.
The farmers have been obliged to fix props repeatedly
under the branches to enable them to support the heavy
weight of fruit that bends them to the earth. The
cider crop will, in most places, be twice or three times
more abundant than in ordinary years.

Seiers.—To day at auction 21 cases of Clover were
sold at Is 5d to is 9d for Penang; 14 hoXes of Cayenne
Pepper 61 to 10id; 400 bees of Bengal Ginger, ship-
ping sort, 23s to 23s 64; and damaged 20s 6d to 225;
489 bags and 16 cases of rough Malabar 28s to 295; 730
bags Malabar Pepper 2id to 3/1d per lb.
SALTPETRE.—Former rates are supported for rough,
and sales to a fair extent have been made by private
treaty to supply the wants of shippers and home dealers.
On the part of holders there is firmness, and the
market moderately supplied. At public sale 2,000
bags Calcutta were sold-84 to 3 per cent. re-
fraction at 27s 63 to 28s, and 17-i per cent.
at 26s 64 to 27s per cwt. FOI: arrival come parcels have
been sold at 27s 64 for a' per Cent, and there are not free
sellers. British Refined meets with a steady sale at
30s 6d to 31s per cwt. Holders of Nitrate of Soda exhibit
firmness, and sales to a fair extent have been made at
12i to 12s 64 per cwt.
COCHINEAL.—AIthough the supply at market has
beau large this week, still fall rates have been obtained,
indeed the best sorts of silvers realised a small ad-
vance. There has been a good demand, especially
fur Russia, and at suction 550 bags of Hon-
duras silvers were nearly all sold; ordinary went
at 3s 64 to Sls Bd, middling and good middling 35 94
to 4s, good 4s Id to 4s 3d, fine 4s 44 to 4s 83; 37 bags of
black sold—low and mid at 3s 7d to 4s 3d, good 4s 54 to
4s lid, fine 5s to 5s 2d; 40 bees Mexican silvers went at
3s 6d to 3s 8d for ord and mid, and 40 bags of black at
3s 9d to 3s Ild per lb. Only small parcels have been
imported this week.
FRUlT.—Since our last a large business has been done
at an advance of is per cwt. The market is well sup-
plied with low and middling qualities, but the stock of
fine Vostizzt is reduced to about 30 butts,- being the
remainder of the cargo of the " Earl 'of Leicester,"
which are held for 425. The prices may now be quoted
at 36s for Upper Gulf and new growths, 36s to 37s
for Zante and Cephalonia, 38s for Patras, and 42s for
Vostizzt.
INbico.—The quantity declared for public competition
on the 91,h October is 19,691 chests East India. Only
small purchases have bran made this week by shippers
and home dealers, still the last quarterly sale's rates
are supported, but largo parcels could not be disposed of
upon those terms. The market is quiet for Spanish, and
a small parcel at public sale went at 3s 8d to 3s 104 for
good fibres.
SPIRITS.—A good business has been concluded in
East India Rana this week, but at the moderate rate of
Is 3d per gallon proof, and low quality at is 2id.
Holders of Leeward Island went up to is 4d to Is sd,
still only a moderate trade has been concluded, and there
is a fair supply. For Demerara the market is in a quiet
state,and sellers are ready to accept is 10d to 2s 2d ior2li
to 40 over, and a further fall in the value is expected to
take place. The business concluded in Jamaica has been
small for all purposes, still holders are not dis-
posed to make any further concession in the value.
In the Brandy market there has again been much
activity and prices keep on the advance. Sales of
Cognac best brands of the' vintage of 1848 have been
made at 4s 8d to 4s 104 per gallon; for arrival large
sales have been made at 4s 4d tO 4s 64. Geneva is
not much in demand, and sellers are willing to accept
is 93 to is 10d for ord, and 2s 3d to 3s 3d for fine.
British made spirit is not cheaper, but the sales made
have been of little moment.

TALLOW.—To-day prices were further depressed for
Tallow, and not more than 36s 6d could be obtained on
the spot for fine I'. Y. C. in large parcels. At auction
832 pkgs South American were in part sold at from 32s
3d to 36i; 70 chests East India 435, low 30s to 30s 3d;
93 caskS Nvw South Wales 34s to 365; 14 pkgs 363 6A.
Oft.s.—To-d2y at auction 105 tuns of Southern Oil
were sold at 301 to 331; 10 tuns Sperm 781, low, 74/ to
741 15s; 235 pkgs Cocoa Nut mostly taken in at 30s to
35s per cwt.

rately supplied with all kinds of grain, and prices a
shade lower, with little business doing. Wheat 5s 6d
to 6s 3q, beans 4s 6d to 5s per bushel, barley 26s to 30s,
cats 193 to 223 per quarter.
EXETER, SEPT. 28.—Cattle Market.—Thero was an
average supply of beasts, and a large one of sheep
driven in. Fat beef was rather less worth than last
week; beef, of very good quality, sold at 8s per score,
and 8s 61 was the highest price given for the test.
Good fresh barreners were worth 6s 6d per score, but
poor ones were a very drug sale at any price. About
20 pour Irish heifers and steers were driven in, for
which prices from 503 to_Bo3 each were asked. A few
North Devon yearlings were on sale at from 31 lOs to
41 iO5 each. Butchers' calves, 5d per lb. A great num-
ber of sheep were driven in—one jobber having upwards
of 300. Fat ewes were 4d to 44d per 1') ; wethers
to 4d, and in a few instances sd. Store wethers, 303
to 34s each. Pork carcases—The supply was very
much less than that of last week; but little more than
a third; prices nevertheless were but little affected, the
rise being only about 2d per score. Quotations sealed
from 7s to 8s 6d per score. Pannier—Turke3s, 5s to
6s; geese, 5s to 7s 6d each; ducks, 33 ad to ss;

each; hares, 2s Gd to 3s; butter lld to is per lb; eggs,
16 to 18 for Is; po'atoes, 8d per score; turnips 5d to
6d ditto. The supply of Michaelmas geese was very
heavy, but, as will be seen, they sold at a high price.
Corn Exchange—We have but little alteration to notice
to-day, nor has there been a large stroke of business
done, up to the time of our going to press. For good
samples of warranted English wheat, 5s 3d per bushel
has been obtained, and our farmers have bad the market
Pretty much to themselves, there being only a few sam-
ples of red French wheat on offer, at 39s to 403 the
quarter.; in malting barley scarcely anything is doing,
prices must be quoted 35 6d to 3s 9d per bushel. Oats
are rather cheaper, new selling at Is 10d to 2s per bushel,
and old at 2s 5d ditto. Fine flour 30s to 31s per sack
of 2801bs.— IVestern Times.

RUTHIN, SEPT. 24.--The market was rather thin to-
day, and business slack, with prices very little altered
since our. last quotations. Wheat, 14s to 14s 64; barleys
8s to 9s; oats, 53. to 6s per hobbet.
WnExassr CHEESE FAlR.—This fair was held on
Tuesday last, the 25th instant. The quantity pitched
was somewhat larger thau usual, and on the whole of
very good quality. The prices were from 40s to 50s for
good uselut dairies, while those of finer quality took
better prices, and much business was transacted. There
was not the least mend for skims.
S! PT.2s.—Considerable dullness was mani-
fested in our wheat market to-day. The few sales rife( ted
went off at 15s per hobbet of 1681 b. Barley was nominal.
Oats a :lade lower, and beans without alteration.
