MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE (WEDNESDAY)
Since Saturday the arrivals of English Wheat coast-
wise have been on the increase, they having consisted of
3,090 quarters; yet, as most of that supply was disposed
of on Monday, the show of samples of that grain here,
to-day, was very small. Fine dry qualities were in good
request, at fully the late advances in the quotations, and
the value of other kinds was well supported. The best
Foreign Wheat was held at a trifle more money. In the
inferior parcels very little business was transacted.
Malting Barley was in good request at late rates; grind-
ing and distilling sorts were quite as dear, Malt was a
slow sale, but not cheaper. Scarcely any Oats were on
ofler. All kinds were tine, and really fine corn was the
turn higher. Beans and Peas were very dull ; but In-
dian Corn and Meal commanded rather more attention.
Flour was in improved requess, and held at more Loney.

Tni WOOL TRADB.—Some surprise has. been oc-
casioned in this trade in consequence of the. large and
increasing importations of the raw material from Syria,
and that contracts should have been +entered into for
1848, amounting to twice those of 1'446 and 11147. It
would seem that such demand had been occasioned by
the sole consumption of one houses Itlone,—that of Messrs.
Swain and Co., of 379, Oxford -street, who make up a
registered paletot with this wool. The qualities of the
Syrian wool are said to be superior to others for its
softness, elasticity, the fine surface of its cloth, and the
fact that it does not require in its preparation the the
mical agents which serve both to rot and give an offen-
sive effluvium to other clothes.

SHOCKING DEATH. OF THE HON. MIBB RYDER.—
STAFFORD, TITESDAY,—A most painful sensation has
been created in this district by tho death of the Hon.
Miss Ryder, daughter of the lion. G. Ryder, and grand-
daughter of the Earl of Ilarrowby, which took place at

inmates were alarmed by violent screaming. The Earl
of Harrowby, Lord Sandon, and several of the domestics,
immediately hastened to ascertain the cause, when they
beheld the lion. Miss Ryder rushing down stairs from
one of the upper rooms enveloped in flames. Lord
Sandon caught her in his
arms, and endeavoured to ex-
tinguish the fire. Unhappily the fire had inflicted the
most dreadful injuries. When she was carried into one
of the adjacent apartments she was found to be shock-
ingly burnt about the face and body. Messen-
gers were immediately despatched for the attend-
ance of medical gentlemen in the neighbourhood, and
everything that could be suggested for the relief of the
unfortunate sufferer was applied. Lord Sandon was,
burnt about the face and hands in his attempt to save
Miss Ryder's
the life of his niece. During the night
and
sufferings were dreadful. She neverve warming
been rallied,
yesterday expired. She is said to 1

The accounts from Flushing of the
ous weather are very disastrous. In the night of Tuesday
a French brig was lost on the bank of Zetland, and the
captain and two of the sailors were drowned. The rest
of the crew succeeded in getting to Flushing in the ship's
boat. Fishermen who have returned to Antwerp give
a frightful account of the quantities of masts, spars,
planks, seamen's chests, and other fragments of wreck
with which the sea is covered, so. that it is feared that a
great many vessels have been lo et.
