LONDON MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE; OCT. 3. -
The favourable state of the wind last week brought in a large
arrival of neatly all sorts of Grain. This morning there is a
moderate supply of Wheat, Ilstrley, and Beans, from Essex and
Kent, but not atnch fresh in from SOPA and Norfolk ; there
are several more vessels arrived since Friday with Oats from the
North, but not many from Ireland. Superfine samples of Wheat
have obtained the terms of last Monday, but other qualities are
dull and rather lower. Barley for melting maintains last quo-
tations, other kinds are very dull in disposal. Beans sell on
the same terms as last repeated. Boiling Pease are plentiful,
and full 6s. per quarter lower. Grey Pease are unaltered. Oats
are more abundant than of late, and although last Monday's
terms are maintained, yet there is much difficulty in making
sales. The Four trade is unaltered.

Mr. GEORGE OVERTON, of 'Brigg, has a black-
bird in its 25th year ; the bird has got a white tail, and in a,
little time, as it seems, will be ornamented with a white head
and neck, through his advanced age.
VORACITY OP THE PlKE.—About two years
ago,' a large pike, pressed by hunger, struck at the fingers of a
poor girl while washing them in a pit upon the estate of Stanley
iVolferstan, Esq., or Statfold, near Tamworth ; and by the
sudden effort of the terrified girl to extricate her hand, was
drawn from the water. An account of the singular fact was
at that period inserted in the LiehfleM Mercury, and by many,
we have heard, has been discredited. FOr its perfect authen-
ticity we can, however, positively vouch. A circumstance,
not less extraordinary, and equally illustrative of the voracity
of the pike, occurred short time since at Tamworth., The
attention of some persons standing 'on Lady-bridge, was for-
cibly attracted by an unusual noise in the water, and two small
pikes were seen violently struggling together on the surface.—
A poor boy who was present Instantly rushed in and secured
the prize. On examination, it appeared that a small pike,
weighing about five ounces, had made an effort to gorge another
fish of the same species about three times his own siv. The
head and shoulders of the large pike had passed into the
mouth of the smaller one, and protruded through the left gill.
The little glutton had fallen a sacrifice to his audacity, and
was dead when taken from the water. The larger fish lived a
were purchased from the
o statess

of a professional gentleman
ccoanpstoidre,
of Tamworth.—( Lichfield Mercury.)
