CORN EXCHANGE. Dec. 12.
The arrivals of nearly all sorts of Grain last week were mo-
derate, except of Barley, which was considerable—there was
also a large quantity of Flour. This morning the market is
tolerably
.well supplied with samples of Corn from the adjacent
counties, but not much from distant parts. Wheat is bad in
quality, and sells, very heavily at a reduction of 2s. per qr. from
the terms of this day se'nnight. Barley, both for malting and
grinding is declined in value full 2s. per quarter; Boiling
Peas arc scarce, and rather dearer; Grey Peas are unaltered ;
Oats find buyers slowly at the terms of this day sennight.—
The Flour trade is excessively dull.

We lament to state an unfortunate accident
occurred at a battu at Lulworth Castle on Thursday last. The
Hon. Captain Wm. Waldegrave, having quitted his place
whilst walking in covert, and being entirely concealed from
view, was struck in the eye by a shot from the gun of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Gloucester. We are happy to add, that
the last accounts were as favourable as possible.—(Southamp-
ton Herald.)

SUDDEN DEATII.—Mrs.MORTIMORE,Of Dar!.
street, Oxford-street, widow of the late miniature painter of that
name, rot having come down at her usual hour of eight o'clock
to breakfast, on Saturday, Miss Harrison, her niece, went to call
her, and was shocked to find her a corpse in bed. She had ate
a hearty supper of sprats, and went to bed in perfect health,
UNCERTAINTY OF HUMAN LlPE.—Anothor in-
stance of the uncertain tenure of human life happened at Bing_
ham on Tuesday morning. In our Paper of Sept. IfNI we an-
nounced the nuptials of Mr. Thomas Nirright and Miss Eliza-
beth Doncaster, both of that town ; our paper of the 14th of
October mentioned the death of the recently blooming and
youthful bride; and on Tuesday the 6th inst., Mr. Wright,
aged 25, not arising at his hour, was repeatedly called, and no
answer being given, his room was entered, and he was found
in bed a corpse, and had every appearance of having been so for
some time. He went to rest at an early hour on Monday
night, apparently as well as usual.--" So fades the glory of
this world ! " and an additional voice, with a loud and strong
emphasis, cries, " Be ye also ready."—(Lincoln Mercury.)
ATTEMPT TO ROD THE ALRESFORD BANK.—A
most daring attempt was made by some villains, on Sunday
morning last, about two o'clock, to break into the bank of
Messrs. Knapp and Company, at Airesford, by making a
hole in the front door, large enough to admit aman's arm, with
an instrument similar to a centre-bit. They had taken out the
key of the lock, and were making another hole to remove the
bolts, when the clerk that slept in the house fortunately dis-
turbed them, before they could accomplish their purpose, leav-
ing the instrument in the door, which was so well constructed,
that any person might make a hole with it through the mos
substantial door in a very short time. They made their escape
before any assistance could be procured.—(Harnpsizirc Tck-
