supply at market of all sorts of Raw Sugar, and for all
purposest
the demand was greater; on the part of mei.-
Fsaets there is also much firmness. West India was
in excellent demand both for the pan and scale, whilst
in some cases the rates obtained were rather above those
of yesterday. The sales amounted to 720, making for
the week 1,902 hbds and trcs.
REFINED.—Te-day former rates were well supported
for Refined Goods, and home dealers were desirous to do
business. There were several orders executed for the
lower sorts. For Bonded Crushed Sugar the market is
dull, at former rates. Loaves are more wanted; 33s 6d
to 36s is the value of 6 to 141 b, and 30s to 306 Gil for
Lumps and Tittlers.

dling 38s to 395, fine brown 37s to 38s, middling and

RETURNING FROM EPSOM.-011 Wednesday even-
ing the following serious accidents took place on the line
of road from Epsom to London, one of which we regret
to state, terminated fatally:—lt appears that shortly
after eight o'clock a woman named Hannah Cronin, aged
sixty years, residing in Wilmot's-buildings, White-
street, Borough, was in the act of crossing the roadway
facing the Eli phant and Castle Tavern, St. Mary, New-
ington, just as the various vehicles were passing in rapid
succession, and before she could get to the kerb a car-
riage, which was beirz driven at a furious rate, knocked
her down, end passed over her body. She was imme-
diately raised up and carried into the nearest surgeon's,
where it was ascertained that she had received very ex-
tensive internal injuries. She was subsequently removed
to Guy's Hospital, where she expired shortly after her
admission. Information was forwarded on Thursday to
Mr. W. Payne, the Coroner, who will hold an inquest
on the deceased. Another accident happened to a boy
named George Reed, aged thirteen years, of Kensing-
ton-place, Westminster. The unfortunate lad was on
his way home from work, and whilst passing the car-
riageway near the Victoria Theatre he ran between the
legs of a gentleman's horse which was returning at a
fast rate from Epsom, and before the rider could stop
the animal the boy was dreadfully injured about the lace
and chest, by being trampled upon. He was seen by a
surgeon, and afterwards removed to the same hospital.

have been in:mined that Mr. Burrell, of Worksop Mill,
on gathering; some Holberry potato plants, gown in a
frame, dirc,..vered considerable appearance of this extra-
ordinary and incurable disease, which appeared to be

that we have received information from several other

that there has not been the slightest symptom of this
destructive pestilence.—.Nettirigharn Journal.
