TUE MARKETS.

COItN EXCHANGE, duo. 4.
The arrivals nearly of all sorts of Grain and Flour last week
' were again considerable. This morning there are moderate
quantities of Wheat fresh In from Essex, Kent, and Suit*,
and a few vessels from the North with Oats. The Flour trade
continues so very dull, that the millers purchased Wheat this
morning very sparingly, and the prices remain unaltered front
this clay sennight. Batley for grinding being scarce, is again
rather dearer. More money is asked for henna, and such as
are dry obtain rather higher prices. In Peas of both kinds
there is no alteration. There is rather more life in the Oat trade
at the prices of this day sennight.

Saturday morning, an alarming and destructive
fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Handy,

Wilderness-row and Sutton-street, which nt one
time threatened total destruction to the whole
range of houses on the right and left, and to
those in Sutton-street, tenanted by homblv
,viduals. The family of Mr. Handy were apprised
of the danger just in time to escape, which they
did in a state of nudity, and the next moment
the dwelling-house fell. The flames next caught
ra stable belonging to a Mr. Orme, a bricklayor,
in which were two horses, who were with dill zulty preserved. The houses an the right sod
left in Goswell-street caught at the
time. Several engines promptly arrived, and
their combined efforts succeeded in getting tho
flames ander by half-past six, hat not till tlio
whole of Mr. Handy's extens;ve prethises were
reduced to ruins. it is said that Mr. Handy,
who is part proprietor with, Mr. Green, the
aeronaut, in the balloon, was not insured ; his
loss alone is estimated at 9/)°, °/•'_

About ll o'clock last eight a tiro broke out in
the upper part of Messrs Beam anti Co.'s
shawl warehouse on Ludgate•hill ; but timely
assistance being obtained, by the prompt arrival
of the engines, it was extinguished without fur-
ther injury.
