OnEsse, MAY 14:7-Our market has not been so ani-
mated as could be desired since last week, owing in a
great measure to the want of vessels to bring up the
corn, as well as the enormous prices which dealers are
obliged to pay for those vessels. which can be procured,
and for which there is lin incessant demand.

DEATHS IN WESTMINSTER BRIDEWELL.--TIMM•
day Mr. Bedford held two inquests in the Westminster
Bridewell on the bodies of prisoners who had died
therein. The first was respecting the death of Ann
Nye, aged 43. The deceased was the wife of a gentle-
man's servant, living at the West-end, and had a family
of four children, but she had lately led such a dissipated
life that her husband was forced to live away from her.
She was convicted at the Bow-street Police-court on the
14th of the present month, and sentenced to one month's
imprisonment, with hard labour, for being an idle and
disorderly person. Her constitution was so broken up
by the life she had been leading that she died in the in-
firmary on Tuesday last. A post mortem examination
proved that the lungs were extensively diseased. Ver-
dict, " Natural death." The second inquiry was con-
cerning the death of Andrew Sandal, aged 64. The
deceased was convicted at the Clerkenvk ell Sessions of
larceny, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment
with hard labour. On Wednesday morning last deceased
was seized with a fit, which lasted some considerable

time. Mr. Livies, the prison surgeon, attended and did
that the nature of his case required, but without
success, and he died the same day from serus apoplexy.
Verdict in aecordauce with the medical testimony.

SUICIDE FROM MENTAL ANXIETY.—Last evening
Mr. Higgs held
an inquest at the Three Horse Shoes,
Water-lane, Strand, on William Robinson, aged 4i, late
clerk to Mr. Herbert, the eminent outfitter, corner of
Arundel-street, Strand. It appeared that deceased,
having suffered extreme mental anxiety in consequence
Of the death of a favourite son who perished in the late
fire in Guildford-street, Russell-square, and ofreverse
of circumstances, had resolved upon self-destruction.
On Thursday morning ho was found dying, and upon
a post-mortem examination by Mr. Dunn it was ascer-
tained that he had poisoned himself with laudanum.
The phial that contained the poison was found in his
writing desk. Verdict—" Deceased died from the
effects of laudanum, but whether he was insane or not
when he took the deadly potion there was no evidence to
prove."
TOLL ON BATTERSEA NEW BRIDGE.--I believe it
is intended to impose a toll on the bridge about to be
built from Battersea Park to Chelsea. Surely this
might be dispensed with ; and as it is to be built with
the public money the public ought not to be obliged to
pay for it again, particult,rly as it is to be formed for the
express purpose of affording access to a public park, and
the use of which will be virtually denied to many of the
poorer inhabitants of that vicinity if a toll is to levied
on the bridge.— The Builder.

TRADE OF DUNDEE.—We have shad very little
doing for some time past, the accounts of the money
market being so unfavourable, and the difficulty of pro-
curing
discounts of mercantile paper in England having
mainly contributed to check purchases, unless in cases of
absohate necessity. Prices of tow, cedilla, and jute are
Maintained, but yarns and linens are rather heavy.—. Dundee i
Advertiser.
