HALF-PAST ONE.

CANTON, DEC. S.—COTTON PIECE GOODS.—There is
a movement in these, something beyond a slight manifesta-
tion to improve, and which, from the recent destruction
among them by the fire, may lead to a durable demand, and
some enhancement in prices.
LONG ELLS.--It has been clearly ascertained that the
greatest havoc committed by the late fire was among the
woollens, and there are reports of sales as high as 84 to 10
dollars for assorted colours, but we have not tracedthem.

Nv
BROAD CLOTH.—The improvement anticipated from the
same cause in this article has not been experienced, and
the market continues quite as inactive as previous to the fire.
COTTON.—Several sales have been reported to us at the
advanced prices at which the market has lately continued
stationary.
OPIUM.—The market has been supported with a further
advance both in Bengal and Malwa, the former being now
held at 7.50 for Patna, 710 for Benares, and Malwa at 620.
Consols for Account and for Money may be quoted at
91.1, little doing in them ; Exchequer Bills, 23 21, lower ;
India Bonds, 6, lower.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active had reached in
the early part of the morning 458, since which they have
receded to 451 4; Deferred, 141; Passive, 21i -8- ; Por-
tuguese, 801 ; Three per Cents. 501- ; Columbian, 314 ;
Mexican, 35 ; Dutch Two and a half per Cents., 568.
At present we do not hear of any further arrivals from
the Peninsula.
SHARES.—Great Western rather higher to-day, having
been sold at 29i prem. ; Brighton lower, 151 prem. ; Lon-
don and Birmingham rose to 72, now 71 ; in other shares
not much variation.
Consols for the Account, 91,

THREE O'CLOCK.

INCENDIARISM.—SOOII after midnight on Sunday
last a fire was perceived by an inhabitant, who was going for
coals, at Brearton, near Knaresborough, which turned out to
be on the form of Mr. Thomas Fletcher, of Scotton, about
one mile-distant ; two wheat stacks, value 2001., n ere con-
sumed before any assistance could be rendered. As the stacks
were at a distance from all buildings there is no doubt it is the
work of an incendiary. Thomas Rawson, Esq., of Nidd Flail,
attended on the spot during Monday, and in the evening of
that day received some examinations igainst an individual
who had been taken into custody, but the evidence not being
sufficient he was discharged. The constables of Knaresbo-
rough and Scriven attended to investigate this diabolical act,
and to render every assistance in their power. —Leeds Litchi-
gencer.
DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL AT YORK.—This
dinner is appointed to take place on Thursday, the 7th of
April next. It is likely to be well attended, .not only by citi-
zens, but by gentlemen from various parts of the county.
EXTENSIVE ItOrßEßY.—Saturday information of
the following robbery was given at the different police-offices,
that during the night the house of Charles Blicke, Esq.,
No. 2, Park-crescent, Regent's Park, was broken into and
plundered of 1,0001. in gold, five 101. Bank of England notes,
and a quantity of jewellery, &c. 'rho robbery is involved in
much mystery.
The precise amount paid on account of American
indemnity is 18,460,666 f. 52c. There remain yet two instal-
ments to be paid, which will fall due respectively on February
2, 1837, and February 2, 1838. The payment of these instal-
ments will entirely liquidate, with its interest, the debt of 25
millions, which had well nigh given rise to a collision between
France and America.

It is rumoured that there are at present two can-
didates for the office of Professor of Moral Philosophy, vacant
since the promotion of Dr. Hampden to the Divinity chair—
viz., Mr. Sewell, Fellow of Exeter, and Mr. Cox, late Michel
Fellow of Queen's College. The election, we apprehend,
will take place early in the next Term.—Oxford Herald.
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.---A few days ago a per-
son, of the name of Moses Simpson, was excavating in an
iron-stone mine at Cuthorpe, near Chesterfield. In the
course of the work, he set what is called a shot to blast part
of the rock asunder ; he set fire to it, which failed through the
dampness of the weather to explode. He went down again to
ignite the fuse, but had not landed from the mouth of the pit
a moment, when it blew up, and large fragments of the stone
were hurled up the shaft with such dreadful force, as to break
in pieces the machinery at the top, and the man thus escaped
from being dashed to pieces.—Doncaster Gazette.
PALM SUNDAY.—We find, in reference to an an-
cient black letter Chronicle, that " Anno Dni. 1530, Cardinal
Wolsey, at Peterborough Abbey, upon Palme Sunday, did
beare his palm, and wente in procession with ye monks setting
forth the DIVINE Service ryght honourablie, wyth such singing
menne as he did then have there of his owne."
We find the following striking evidence of the
march of intellect in the Sydney Herald of October 29,
1835 :—" A child, not more than three years old, was taken
into custody on Monday last, for stealing 31., in a house in
Sussex-street, of which she was left for a short period in
charge." The stealing 31. at three years old is a mark of
precocity so curious that unless it bad happened at Sydney,
where we suppose children are trained up in the way they
should go, we could scarcely have believed it ; but when we
find that the same active-minded baby was " left in charge of a
house" we can have no doubt whatever of the supremacy of the
enlighteners in those parts. —John Bull.
Rossini was summoned on Friday to appear before
the Juge de Paix, of the second arrondissement of Paris, for
payment of 52 francs, being the price of conveying from
Toulouse to Paris a barrel of wine, which had been sent to
him by the waggon. The Advocate of the inimitable Maestro
grounded his refusal to pay the same from his ignorance of the
origin of the wine. " Is it a present ?" said he,—" even
then, before he could accept it, he must know the name of the
donor ; or, might it not be the trick of some merchant, who,
speculating on his name, endeavoured thus to dispose of his
merchandise, with the intention of calling on him hereafter for
the price of the wine ?" The Commissioners of the waggon-
office being unable to give the name of the sender, the Tribu-
nal acquitted M. Rossini.
The storms of snow, hail, and rain which prevailed
during the early part of the month, have occasioned great loss
to the hill farmers in Wales, a vast lioniber of laulbs having
perished, owing to the inclement weather,

THE MARKETS—(THIS PAYE

The past week's arrivals of both Grain and Flour were cm.-
siderable, and the trade experienced a fair demazidtith no'

other qualities being much affected by the weather, met a.
heavy sale at last quotations. Barley sells at the terms las-
stated. Beans are unvaried. Boiling Pease there-
