SuOAß.—Today there was a large business con-
cluded in both relining and grocery sorts of West India

export yellow and best refining kinds rather more
money was obt fined in some uses: At public sale 150

Sce., were disposed of to-day.

purchasers for home trade purposes, and prices keep ( n
the advance ; brown Lumps realised 483 Gd to 493, and
fair grocery 494 to 49s 6d per cwt. There is no varia-
tion in the value of Crushed Sugar.

some cases 61 above for better sorts, whilst the whole

good 37s to 395, inferior 35s 6d to 36s 6d, grey 34s Gd

23s for fine Florette. _ _ _

and most sorts can be obtained rather under last week's
terms. Scented Teas havo been dealt in with caution.

Yesterday afternoon news arrived at the Vice-
Chancedor's Court, of the discovery of the body of the
son of the Vice-Chancellor. On Sunday last he di7o d
with his father. Atter dinner he went out, and the, f, g
coming on, it is supposed he missed his way and fell into
a ditch. From appearances it would seem he had
struggled hard, but was unable to obtain a firm looti( g,
and perished in the attempt to extricate himself.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, DEC. 11.
The market was fully attended. Wheat sold at about
same prices as la4t week, and upon the whole the con-
dition, notwithstanding the lute continued wet weather,
was pretty good. Bailey again in gooll supply, the qua-
lity more various than for several market days, and sold
sluggishly at 26s to 273 per quarter. Beaus and peas
without much alteration, perhaps a little in favour of the
buyer. Malt dull, and a heavy trade.

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 disposed 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
little 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 qu,tations. Linseed fully as dear, but cakes are
easier to buy. No transactions to report in rapeseed,
and lower rates are again taken for cakes. Bones are
firm.

observations on this mishap appear to be well foe"iee'
and important: all who are acquainted with the site legit
versed by that viar.i.uct—the course of the old Ebbs
Ditch, Ditch, and the ill•drained flat that still engenders Ufeetil
and influenza—must be astonished at the small yi;eo
and substance of the foundations of the piers, as gad

with you, that in such cases an inquest ought to he pool
even when no life is lost on the occasion. In 05-boil
fire, such inquiry is sometimes made; and surelPn.t
an awful risk of human life is incurred, and the 10";eeto

judicious, and strict inquiry. On the sth of Nevemo °
