ILLNESS OF MR. BERWICK.—The Cork registry
was postponed on Friday, in consequence of the serious
illness of Mr. Berwick, Q.C., chairman of the east riding
of that county.
THE OUTWARD INDIA AND CHINA MAILS OF THE
24TR NOVEIDIER.—A letter from Malta, dated 2d inst„
received in London yesterday, contains the following :
"The Peninsular and Oriental Company's ship Indus
arrived here at seven p.m., on the 30th ult., from South-
ampton and Gibraltar. She has been ready for sea since
two p.m. yesterday, but is detained waiting tor the Mar-
seilles portion of the mails, which ought to have bee❑
here on the evening of the 30th. N.B. As the French
steamer Leonidas, which was engaged by the British
Government to take these mails to Malta, in con
s( quence of an accident to the Admiralty packet, did
not leave Marseilles until the lit inst., and is known to
be a very slow vessel, there is great reason to fear that
the mails would not reach Malta until after the de.
parture of the Indus (which could not be detained
beyond the 3d inst.), and that consequently the mails
would most likely have to wait at Malta until next
month's steamer.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A dreadful Abscess under the
Chin Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Robert
Davidson, shoemaker, of Anstruther, had suffered for more
than five years with a very dreadful abscess under his chin ;
during this time he had been under the care of two surgeons in
Anstruther and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect
of a cure. In this miserable condition he began to use Hollo-
way's Ointment and Pills, which, in the short space of two
months, soundly healed the wound ; and he is now enjoying the
best of health. These fine medicines are admirable remedies
for king's evil, wounds of all kinds, burns, scalds, piles, fistula,
and bearings down. Sold by all Druggists, and at Professor
Holloway's Eatabliihment, 244, Strand, London.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, DEC. 11.
The market was fully attended. Wheat sold at about
same prices as last week, and upon the whole the COll.
clition, notwithstanding the lute continued wet weather,
was pretty good. Barley again in good supply, the qua-
lity more various than for several market days, and sold
sluggishly at 26s to 27s per quarter. Beans and peas
without much alteration, perhaps a little in favour of the
buyer. Malt dull, and a heavy trade.

HULL, DEC. 11.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states: —Ar-
rivals have been moderate during the week, and but for
the unexpected change from severe frost to compara-
tively mild weather, we should probably have had more
firmness in our market; as it is, the same hand-to mouth
system is pursued that has so long characterised the trade,
and no one seems diiposed to buy beyond his apparent
immediate wants. The supply of farmers' wheat for this
day's market was moderate, and we are unable to note
any change in the value of good conditioned samples, but
less disposition was manifested to take late prices. Very
Hole passing in foreign, with only a small quantity
offering from shipboard. Barley goes off for grinding
at about the late low rates, while malting is exceedingly
dull. For other descriptions of grain we do not alter
our quotations. Linseed fully as (Isar, but cakes are
easier to buy. No transactions to report iu rapeseed,
aed lower rates are again taken for cakes. Bones aro
firm.

THE FOREIGN AND COLONIAL MAILS.—In COIL'
sequence of the numerous representations which have
been made by the merchants of the city of Londoe,,
Liverpool, &c., to the Right Honourable the Marquis 01
Clanricarde, the Postmaster-General, of the inoni
venience and less they sustain by the dispatch of
the outgoing mails to the Mediterranean, India,
&c., via Marseilles, and those to the West Indies
America, &c., before the arrival of the incoming packets
or mails at Southampton, Liverpool, and Londnr,
arrangements are making which will come into
_
operation, it is expected, with the commencemen6
of the new year, which will obviate the inconvenience
complained of. When a mail has been overdue
(the same as the last overland mail from India
when the letters were only delivered on Saturday
ing), and the outgoing mail not detained—the merchant'
and the public have no opportunity of answering their
correspondence for a fortnight or a month—whereas'
if the packet had been detained twenty-four hotivit
or only twelve hours, after the arrival of the in-
mail, they would have the opportunity
of answer
ing the letters. The mails for the Mediterranean'
India, &c., vies Marseilles, are at present made 111) on
the evenings of the 7th and 24th of the month (and
that date falls on a Sunday, the next evening), 11°
due in London on or about the 3rd and 23rd
those for Gibraltar, Malta, Greece, the lonian,
Islands, Egypt, Aden, Ceylon, Mauritius, Ind's.
Hong Kong, and China, on the morning of the 20th l//
the month by the packet from Southampton, due at
Southampton• on the 27th or 28th. The British 911 a
foreign coloni, s in the West Indies (except Bernulani
Nassau, New Orleans, Mexico, Honduras, a°
Havannah), Venezaeia, and Jame!, on tke wort"
lags of the 2,1 and 17th of the month, which are for'
warded by the packets from Southampton, Bermud's?

Nicaragua) New Granada, Chili, and Peru, on the

due on the 7:11 and 22d. Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cad td
and Gibraltar, on the mornings of the 7th, 17th, 10
27th of the month, via Southampton, due on ith

America and the United States every Friday eve
(except in December, January, February, and bittrlc„,;
the winter months, and then only every alternate Friday
evening) by steam packets, via Liverpool, Halifax,flosto'
or New York. It will be seen from the above how imt
portant such a measure will be to the mercantile inter°
and the public at large, without causing any particular,
delay in the outgoing mails.
y Or
THE FALLEN ARCHES AT ICENTICE•TOWN.--"--°j
observations on this mishap appear to be well foan"',
and important: all nho are acquainted with the site trs
versed by that viadect—the course of the old Flee!
D ritch, and the ill.drained flat that still engenders tyo,
and idluenza—must be astonished at the small deP
and substance of the foundations of the piers, as give°
in the Milder of last Saturday; and they must ogre
with you, that in such cases an inquest ought to be held'i
even when no life is lost on the occasion. In cases n
fire, such inquiry is sometimes made; and surely, wherie
an awful ri,k of human lite, is incurred, and the interest
of science and of the public are at stake, as in this fieer3t,
the expense and inconvenience would be nothing in
parison with the advantages to be derived from a ler
judicious, and strict inquiry. On the sth of Novegn
last, passing under this cry bridge, I observed Ocii
friend that I never felt satisfied with a bridge or al a
made of several rims of bricks of the same aiv, and. e 8
bonded, and I pointed to several instances of the brich
all running into each other, instead of overlaying 4:10
other's joints, and reminded him of various examfue-fil,
the Richmond and South-Western lines, where thero,
tration of water is consequently increasing to an altioll
ing degree. Before a coroner's jury such hints
lea to improvements.—Correspondent of the 8L.....•
