About 1,952 quarters of wheat, 1,095 quarters of bar'
ley, and 110 quarters of peas reached Grangemouth
from abroad. There was little disposition to do busioess
in any article, beyond supplying immediate necessities;
the finer qualities of any description of either grain or
flour, however, maintained their value, whilst that of
inferior kinds was rather in favour of buyers. Thus
day's market was thinly attended. The better descrir
lions of wheat were a retail sale, at last Wednesday.

Mr. Waklay, M.P., instituted an inquiry respecting thel
death of Mr. Thomas Morton, surgeon, aged 36, at tbB
gentleman's residence, 7, Woburn-place, Russell square'
who commited suicide under very melancholy cireulni
stances. We have received a fully detailed accounl,?fl
:he proceedings, but as they are of no legitimate Putt
interest, and as their publication would be likely
wound the feelings of surviving relatives, we abs°,!"
from publishing anything beyond the event and D'S
verdict, which was to the effect that the " Deceased died
from the effects of prussic acid, and that he administered
it to himself while in an unsound state of mind."
