_HALF-PAST OWL

The British Market is rather firmer than in the early
part of the morning, when Consols were done at 90i sel-
lers for Money, since which may be quoted at 90i for
the Account ; at present Oaf ; Money the same. Thurs-
day being settling day in the British Market, the brokers
and jobbers are arranging their accounts previous to the
settling; and we understand that the Hebrew party have a
large amount of Stock to take on the above day. Money
is not quite so easy this morning in the house as on the pre-
vious days, owing to the approaching settlement, which
also takes place en Friday in the Foreign Market. Ex-
chequer Bills improved two shillings, 4 7 prem. ; Bank
Stock, l78i; India Stock, 2481.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active improved, owing
to a general belief that Cabrera is dead—may be quoted 28;

INCENDIARISM.--, k correspondent at Driffiald,
February 19, communicees. the following distressing news :
We have just received, by the Sledmere post-boy, the
woful intelligence, that tbie whole of Sir T
Matton Sykes's
stacks of corn, and eight others belonging to r. Atkinson,
of Sledmere, were totall y .deetroyed by fire during last
night. The boy likewise asserts, that on his road to Drif-
field this morning, about five o'clock, he saw flames burst-
ing out from the stack-y and of Mr. Jeremiah Lamplough. _

TURN-OUT OF S'.FONEMASONS.—The stone-
masons engaged on the r a away near Lancaster have, during
the week, turned out for an: advance of wages. The men are
in the receipt of 4s. par day..--Preston Chronicle.
Francis Butt, Esq., Ivho fell from off his horse
while out hunting last week :, supposed to have been attacked
with a fit of apoplexy, expii .e d on Wednesday morning. Mr.
Butt was Mayor, and n 1‘ la gistrate of Stamford.—Lincoln
Chronicle.
REVIVAL OF EXP( )R1-S.—We hear with very
great pleasure that the ships cents' of goods to foreign ports are
increasing. The New ion :. paci_Vit ships have, of late, sailed
with fair freights. The 11 20920 C, which will sail to-morrow,
has even been compelled t,s shut out goods. To the East
Indies the shipments of mai mlactured goods are unusually ex-
tensive. We hope, therefor •e, that these may be taken as indi-
cations of a revived and real :vin; foreign export trade.—Liver-
tool Albion of Monday.
Loss OF AMER 11C.A.N STEAMERS.—Forty
steamers were lost on the Ix astern rivers last year ! Of these
28 re snagged, 5 burnt, 4 Ll.ccvn up, and the rest sunk ;45
persons killed.
