MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat, coast•
wise, as well as by land carriage and sample•, have been
on a very moderate scale ; hence the quantity on offer
was small. All kinds moved off slowly, at the late de-
cline in the quotations. Foreign Wheat, the supply of
which was somewhat on the increase, commanded very
little attention, yet previous rates were generally sup-
ported. For export we heard of no sales. The show of
foreign Barley. was good, owing to which the trade was
heavy, and prices were with difficulty supported. The
Malt trade was exceedingly dull ; but we can notice no
further depression in value. Oats, Beans, Peas and
Flour were very heavy, at barely late rates.

isen‘ve. appearance, and apparently about 27 years of
age, succeeded in obtaining 15s. for a counterfeit sove-

TUE LATE FATAL OCCURRENCE AT THE CAMDEN
STATION OF VIE LONDON AND NORTR-WESTERN RAlL-
WAY.—Yesterday forenoon Ar. Mills held an inquest
at the University College Hospital, on the body of Wil-
liam Edwards, a carpenter, aged 30, another of the un-
fortunate men who was buried beneath the arches which
recently fell on the premises of Messrs. Pickford and
Co., the carriers, at the Camden station of the London
and North-Westeru Railway. The evidence adduced
was a recapitulation of that which has already appeared
in the columns of this journal ; and Mr. Alfred Wil-
liams, the house surgeon to the hospital, having deposed
to the nature of the injuries of which the deceased died
on Saturday, the jury
returned a verdict of "Accidental
death."

We have authority to state that there is no foun-
dation whatever for a report which has been circulated
for the last day or two, to the effect that Mr. Labouchere
intends to retire from the office of Irish Secretary.
