DEATII UNDER EZTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.
—A remarkable case of sudden death occurred on Sato—
day last. A gentleman named Keane, who had been
attending a funeral in St. Ann's churchyard, and wh,°
appeared to be in the enjoyment of perfect health, while
walking through the ground, called a friend's attention
to a grave, which he said was that of his wife's, where be
added he Expected very soon himself to be. A fell'
minutes afterwards the unfortunate man dropped SOW
denly down on the grave, and when lifted up was diso-
vered to k.)e quite dead,—Cork Examiner.

LLOYD'S SHIPPIN G.—(THIS DAY.) THE PENINSULAR MAILS.
LONDON. JAN.. 10.—Wind S.W., light breeze and fine. I SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY, 7. P.M.—The Peninsu-
STATE OF %\ IND AND WEATHER AT THE PROVINCIAL liar and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship
I Euxine, Captain R. W. Evans, has just arrived with
ship letter bags from Constantinople Dec. 20, Smyrna
Dec. 24, Malta Dec. 29, Gibraltar Jan. 4, which were
her dates of sailing.
Tire Euxine brings 11 passengers, and the follow-
ing on freight :-100 packages specie, value about
70,0001. sterling, 160 cases silk, 600 packages goats'.
wool, 20 cases opium, 2,500 drums figs, '2O tubs
leeches, eight packages scamony, 60 cases licorice
paste, 600 drums raisins, 10 cases sponge, 30 bags
galls, 9 cases otto roses, 50 boxes oranges, and 32
packages of sundries.
Captain Evans reports that very bad weather has
been experienced in the Mediterranean, causing in
various places considerable damage to shipping. On
the night of the 20th ult , at Constantinople, a heavy
gale came on from the northward, which lasted
several days. It was accompanied by snow and hazy
weather. A number of ships of all nations, include
ing fourteen British vessels, were reported by the
British Vice- Consul at the Dardanelles to be on
shore between Gallipoli (eastern entrance of the Dar-
danelles) and the island of Tenedos. Many of them
sustained severe damage, others would be total
wrecks. Much anxiety was occasioned by the non-
appearance of the steamer Austria, belonging to the
Austrian Lloyd's Company, employed on the station
between Constantinople and the ports on the Black
Sea. She was six days over-due when the Euxine left.
Her Majesty's steamer Tartarus was at Constan-
tinople.
At Malta, on the 26th ult., a heavy northerly gale
commenced, and on the 28th had increased to a per-
fect hurricane, of such violence that it is stated to
have been without parallel since 1825. The sea
made a clean breach over some of the batteries, and
washed away portions of the stone work of the em-
brasures. Several vessels in the Grand Harbour
were greatly injured, and the brig Creole, laden with
grain, sunk at her anchors; the crew were, however,
providentially saved. The Euxine was detained a
day at Malta by the bad weather.
At Malta, on 29th, her Majesty's ships Vengeance
and Vologe—steamers Sidon, Oberon, and Merlin ;
the latter had arrived from Alexandria, and reported
having spoken on the 21st ult., the barque Jane and
Barbara entering the port of Alexandria.
The American war-steamer Alleghany sailed from
Gibraltar to the eastward on the 3d inst. The Poly-
phemus was in the Bay.

The Euxine brings no tidings of Sir Charles Na-
pier's squadron. She did not speak any vessel of war
during her passage across the Bay. On the 29th
December she exchanged colours with the screw-
steamer Levantine, off the west end of Gozo. The
Ripon, with the Indian mail of the 20th, left Gib-
raltar on the 26th, and was seen on the 30th off the
Cane rocks.
The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Sultan, from
Southampton, bound to Constantinople, was entering
Gibraltar Bay on the 4th instant.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DA Y

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
A very limited supply of Euglish Wheat having been
received up to our market this week, the show of sam-
ples of that grain to-day was trifling, and of very mid-
dling quality. On the whole, the demand for most de-
scriptions was steady, at prices fully equal to those of
Monday last. The imports of foreign Wheat since Sa-
turday have been confined to 5,870 quarters, the whole
of which have gone into bond. Fine dry qualities
moved off freely, at full rates of currency. In the mid-
dling and inferior kinds only a limited business was
doing at late rates. In Barley, the supply of which
lwas very extensive, next to nothing was doing, at the
ate decline in value. So little business was transacted
In Malt that the quotations were almost nominal. The
best parcels of Oats moved off steadily; all other kinds
isen.vly at last week's quotations. Beans, Peas. Indian

PRINCE Louis NAPOLEON AND THE DUCHESSZ
D'ORLEANS.—The Frankfort Journal, in a letter from
Eisenach says—" It is stated with certainty here that
Louis Napoleon has offered the Duchess of Orleans,
who is resident here, the pin money to which she was
entitled while resident in France. This bas been ac-
cepted by the Duchess, on condition that half of last
year's amount shall be given to the wounded and to the
families of those who were killed in the revolution of
February. The Duchess continues to live in complete
retirement, devoting herself to the education of her
son, and to acts of benevolence among the neigh-
bouring poor.

The Duchess Dowager of Northumberland, with
that truly noble liberality which has always distinguished
her, has purchased the beautiful mansion and grounds of
Croft House, Alnwick, as a parsonage for St. Paul's
Church, to which it adjoins. How affectingly does this
generous gift harmonise with the pious munificence of
the late venerated Duke, whose building and endow-
ment of St. Paul's Church was about the last act of his
beneficent life! It has touched the deepest and ten-
derest chord in the universal heart of the parish.—New-
castle Journal
