GLASGOW CATTLE .MARKET, MAT 24.-The numbers
534 at our market to-day were-oxen, 565 ; sheep, 521; lambs, 197•
We had an ordinary supply of cattle. The sale was ready'at
234 fully last week's prices. Best aged bullocks 503 per cwt, second
234 quality 45s to 47s 6d per cwt, cows and inferior 37. to 441 per
scwt, sinking the offal, and all sold early. We had rather more
5 sheep, which sold readily at last week's prices. Best aged
8 wethers 61d per lb, second from sid to Gd per lb, sinking Ike
23¢ offal. Lambs more plentiful, and sold at from 13s to 22. per
- head. Nearly all sold.
BxtrAsT, MAY 24.-Wheat sells at about former rates, and
Os. is in fair demand for starch making and mixing. Foreign
sells at low prices, which keeps the demand off our home store
lots-say, Petersburgh, 9/ 55.; Odessa, 9/ 155 to 101; French
and Rhine, 9/ 10s to 10/ lOs ; Baltic and American, 101 to 111
% per ton. Flour-Home made of all sorts sell slowly, and, al-
though millers and dealers nominally hold at former prices, Yet
a reduction of 6d in one shape or other has been, except in top
marks, pretty generally conceded. American-say, Philadel-
x phia, Baltimore, and Ohio, in moderate demand, at 24s to 245
- 6d; Western and Canadas, 6d less per barrel. Barley sells at
former prices. Oats at 2d lower, but sell freely. Oatmeal
• continues to sell slowly, at rather under the currency of last
week. Indian Corn is scarce, and sells freely at the full rates
quoted last week for general runs, and some prime lots of white
and yellow bring an advance of 2s 6d per ton. Yellow, 81 51
to 81 12s 6d ; white, 81 to 8l 7s 6d per ton.
CORY, MAY 25.-Notwithstanding the large arrivals no-
ticed in our last, and even some considerable additional ones
this week, the market for Indian corn has not been affected
to the extent which many persons calculated on. This is
owing to the causes which we lately adverted to as being
likely to occur, namely, that far the larger portion of the res•
sels arriving having only called for orders but few compara-
tively would remain here. The fact is as we anticipated, and
consumption is keeping pace so steadily with supply, that the
article is rather firmer and has rather advanced in value. In
other articles of produce we have had rather a dull trade,
with a tendency to lower prices for some. This however
arises principally from the depressed advises from the London
market. Our receipts of home grown grain are very trifling.
the receipts of wheat from the 18th to the 24th instant
_ s- amounting only to 65 barrels ! Owing to the paucity of the
234 supply quotations are altogether nominal. In prepared Irisk
- wheat we have no transactions to notice. Of foreign a few'
- sales have been made at prices rather in favour of the pur-
chaser. In Oats but little business has been done, and -we
must quote the trade dull, without however any actual altera-
tion in the value of the article. We have a moderate consume'
'rice. tive demand for flour. Approved brands of prime firsts, with
seconds and good households are in fair demand, but other
descriptions are neglected. We have a good business doing
172 in Indian corn, at for some qualities an advance of 2s 6d per
81 ton. We cannot however make any material alteration in our
77 quotations the top price of th article being the same as that
99 quoted last week, namely 8/ lTs per ton. A large consumption
100 is going on at present in Indian corn, and we incline to the,
120 opinion that, the recent importations to the contrary, stocks or
the article in this quarter have not been materially added to.

Sysl4 SUDDEN DEATH OF A LADY AT THE BRIGHTON.
S 6
RAILWAY TERMINUS.—On Saturday afternoon, Mr. lir•
o, Payne, the coroner, received information of the sudden
death of a respectably-attired female, under the follow"
ing circumstances:—lt appears that about six o'clock on
. Friday evening the deceased arrived at the London'
ilg, bridge terminus, from Brighton, apparently in perfect
health, and as she proceeded along the platform she was
72 seen to stagger and fall. Several persons who witnessed
34
the sad occurrence ran to her aid, and found, upon
- raising her, that she was quite insensible. One of the
Od porters accordingly ran with all speed to Guy's Hospital
(which is immediately adjoining) and procured the aid
. of the house surgeon, who attended with promptitude;
but, although el/try means were used to restore life, their
id. efforts were useless. The body was subsequently taken
to St. Olave's dead house to await an inquest. The name
of the deceased could not be ascertained.
EMILY SANDFORD.,—ThiS unfortunate young era-
-6d ture, towards whom so much public sympathy has been
14 expressed, and for whose aid a subscription has been
collected, amounting to many hundred pounds, left
Gravesend on Saturday with her child, the result of her
is intercourse with Rush, in the barque Caspar. The
i
Caspar will remain at Plymouth for a few days, and
thence proceed to Port Adelaide. Emily Sandford looked
careworn and haggard, and evidently wished to avoid
the gaze of parties who had visited the vessel for the
purpose of taking a farewell of their relatives and friends.
