MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY-
Since this day se'rinight, up to Saturday evening, the
arrivals of all kinds of Grain, as well as Flour of homo
p,,
•odu^e were on a very limited scale, even the time of
year considered. From Ireland and Scotland, the re-
ceipts were again very small, and from abroad we re-
ceived only 6,029 quarters of Wheat ; 3,967 quarters of
Barley ; 478 quarters of Beaus ; 2,730 quarters of
Peas ; and 4,158 barrels of Flour ; being the smallest
importation in any one week during the whole of the
present year. Fresh up to-day, coastwise, the arrivals
of English Wheat from Kent were moderately good ;
those from Essex, Cambridgeshire, &c., small. By land
carriage very little Wheat came to hand from any
quarter. On the whole, the stands were rather scantily
filled with samples of both red and white : and
we have to report a steady, though not to say brisk, de-
mand for all descriptions, at prices fully equal to those
obtained on this day se'nnig,ht, and at which a good
clearance was effected. The supply of Foreign Wheat
on show was good, but a large portion of it was of very
inferior quality. The best parcels commanded a steady
sale, at the extreme rates paid on Monday last ; but the
middling and inferior kinds were a slow inquiry, at
barely stationary prices. Superfine Malting Barley
sold freely, at full currencies. All other
kinds of Barley were dull, but not cheaper.
Notwithstanding the supply of Malt was small, that
article, especially the secondary qualities, was a slow
sale, and the quotations were with difficulty supported.
The best parcels of Oats, which were very scarce, com-
manded a ready sale, at extreme figures; and the value
of other kinds was well supported. Beans were in short
supply and moderate request, at last week's prices.
Boiling Peas were quite as dear; but other kinds were
somewhat neglected. Indian Corn and Meal were in
moderate request, and prices were well supported. Rye
Meal was a slow sale, but not cheaper. Town-made
Flour supported late rates. A good business was doing
in barrelled qualities, at our quotations.

In the n )rthern ports aboui 1,200 head of each kind of
stock have been landed from Holland and Germany ;
and, at Southampton, 10 Oxen from Portugal. The
quality of the above imports has been very inferior.
The supply of foreign stock here, to-day, was again
large, viz., 894 Oxen and Cows, 3,040 Sheep and Lambs,
and 68 Calves, the general quality of which, especially
that of the Dutch Sheep, was very inferior. With home-
fed Beasts we were fairly supplied, though the number
was less than that exhibited on this day week. As the
quality of this description of stock was by no means first-
rate, and the attendance of both town and country
buyers was comparatively large, the Beef trade was
somewhat active, at an advance on last week's quota-
tions of quite 2d per 81bs. The primest Scots sold freely,
at from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per Bibs, and a total clearance
of the Bullock supply was effected without difficulty.
The droves from the northern grazing districts comprised
about 1,500 short horns ; from the eastern, western, and
midland districts, 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, Scots,
&c. ; from other parts of England, 750 of various breeds;
and, from Scotland, 190 horned and polled Scots. The
numbers of Sheep were about 2,000 less than those
offered on Monday last. On the whole, the Mutton
trade was firm, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond,
last week's currencies. The primest old Downs, which
were very scarce, readily produced from 4s 10d to 5s
per Bibs, and very few of any breed were turned out un-
sold. Although the supply of Calves was good, the
Veal trade was firm, at Friday's advanced rates of 2d
per Blbs. There was a steady sale for Pigs, at very full
prices. Prime small Porkers produced from 5s to 5s
2d per Sibs.

Fair average supplies of meat slaughtered in the
country have been received up to these markets during the
past week ; and those on offer, killed in the metropolis,
have been seasonably good, but of very middling quality.
Prime Beef has sold steadily, at full prices ; and Veal
has produced an advance of quite 2d per 81bs. All other
kinds of meat have met a very dull inquiry, on some-
what easier terms. Nearly 1,500 carcases of foreign
meat, in very inferior condition, have been on offer, and
partly disposed of at very low figures.

BURY TURN•OUT OF COLLlERS.—Yesterday (Fri-
day) morning, the proprietors of the Hopwood Colliery,
near Heap, reduced the prices of their coal one penny
per basket ; or 2s. 6d. per quarter ; and the wages of
the miners for getting coal 10d. per quarter. The col-
liers turned out, refusing to accept the reduction in
wages. We understand that about two years ago an
advance of wages of 10d. per quarter took place, and
coals were then advanced ld. per basket, or 2s. 6d. per
quarter.—Manchester Guardian.
EXPLOSIONS OF FIREWORRS AND PROBABLE LOSS
OF LlFE.—Saturday morning, between the hours of
twelve and one, a most tremendous explosion of fire-
works, which it is feared will be attended with fatal
consequences, occurred upon the premises in the occupa-
tion of Mr. J. Bartrope, a corn-chandler, carrying on
business at 1, Hendra-place, Old Kent-road. It appears
that a number of Mr. Bartrope's friends were amusing
themselves in the garden by discharging fireworks. Mrs.
Bartrope, in order to avoid a cracker that was flitting
along the ground, took refuge in the back wash-house,
when, from some unfortunate means, an ignited squib
fell through the ceiling, and alighting upon a box of
fireworks standing in the building, the whole exploded
with a fearful noise, knocking Mrs. Bartrope down, set-
ting fire to her dress, and forcing the windows out.
Several parties immediately ran to her assistance, and
with the help of the police the fire was extinguished.
The unfortunate lady was so frightfully burned over the
whole of her body, that not the least hopes can be enter-
tained of her recovery.—At a late hour on Friday, an
explosion of fireworks took place, at 1, Dorset-street,
Regent-street. Westminster, in the occupation of Mr.
James Haustrige, chandler's shop-keeper and dealer in
fireworks. Whilst the shop was full of customers, a
spark from a lighted candle fell upon a heap of fireworks
in the window, when the whole exploded, forcing the
window out, and doing considerable damage to the pre-
mises. Fortunately no one was injured.
LORD MAYOR'S DAY.—The Entertainment Com-
mittee, of which Mr. Deputy Goss is chairman, met, on
Saturday, at the Guildhall, and finally arranged the
route and order of the procession to be observed in the
progress and return of the Lord Mayor elect (John
Kindersle? Hooper, Esq., Alderman of Queenhithe
Ward), on the occasion of his inauguration as Lord
fol-
lowing is
Mayor

from the official programme :—The procession on being
formed will move from Guildhall at eleven o'clock, and
pass through Gresham-street, Prince's-street, Mansion
House-street, the Poultry, Cheapside, Queen-street,
Upper Thames-street, Earl-street, and Chatham-place,
to Blackfriars-bridge ; thence by water to Westminster,
and will return from Westminster to Blackfriars-bridge,
and pass through New Bridge-street, Ludgate-hill,
Ludgate-street, St. Paul's Churchyard, Cheapside, and
King-street, to Guildhall. Then follows the programme
of the procession, including the usual list of state car-
riages, banners, and standards, with the various City
companies, military bands, warriors in armour, and
other gorgeous exhibitions, in the same order In which
they have been annually described from time imme-
morial. On the return of the procession it will be
joined at the Obelisk, Bridge-street, by the Ambassa-
dors, her Majesty's Ministers of State, the nobility,
Judges, and Members of Parliament, and other persons
of distinction, invited to the banquet at Guildhall, which
will, it is understood, equal, if not surpass. in liberality
and magnificence, any preceding banquet given on a
similar occasion.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. PEARCE.—The sudden
death of Mr. Pt arce, the Chairman of the Stock Ex-
change Committee, was made known in the City on
Saturday. The respect in which he was held is shown
by the following communication from the committee to
the general members on the subject :—" The committee
have to perform the very painful duty of communicat-
ing to the house the melancholy and sudden decease of
their esteemed chairman, Mr. Charles Thomas Pearce,
who died this morning, after an illness of two days
only. In making this most distressing announcement,
the committee feel assured that every member of the
house will deeply sympathize with the bereaved family
of their departed friend, and will bear testimony to the
upright and dignified feelings by which that excellent
man was pre-eminently distinguished, and which tended
so effectually to elevate and sustain the character of the
Stock Exchange."

THE ROYAL STAGHOUNDS.—The " meets" during
the past week (with the exception of the " opening day")
have not proved of so sporting a character as usual, the
dense fog which prevailed on Wednesday, and the nature
of the country hunted over on Friday, tending to this
result. On Wednesday the meet was at Twy ford Sta-
tion, but, in consequence of the thick fog, the field was
more than usually select. The deer, which was not
disposed to take away, was secured near the village of
Shiplake, after a ringing run of more than an hour.
Another select field assembled at the Woking Station
on Friday. The deer, upon being uncarted;made away
towards Woking, leaving the village to the left, on to
Byfleet, and thence in the direction of Weybridge and
Oatlands, when it doubled to the right to East Moulsey,
and was taken, after a run of nearly three hours, between
that village and Esher. The line of country gone over
was so intersected by wide streams and deep ditches
filled with water, that the field was well weeded long
before the finish. Several spills took place, and " duck:.
ings" to a great extent were the order of the day. The
plan of giving publicity to the Wednesday's meets,
which had been discontinued during the past two seasons,
it is expected will be again revived by order of the Mas-
ter of the Buckhounds, highly to the satisfaction of the
gentlemen who regularly attend the hunt. Earl Gran-
ville has taken a house at Fern Hill, a short distance
from the kennel, where his Lordship will resEe during
the season.
SOUTHAMPTON, NOV. 7.—The Peninsula and Ori-
ental Company's steam-ship Erin, Captain Russell, ar-
rived here from Constantinople, via Alexandria, at ten
A.M., this day, and landed the East India and China
mails, which were forwarded to London by the four
o'clock r at. train. She left Trebisorid on Oct. 12th ;
Constantinople, 18th ; Alexandria, 22d ; Malta, 27th ;
and Gibraltar, Nov. 2. The Erin brings the following
passengers from Constantinople :—Lady Cowley and
three children; from India—Mrs. Rennie, Mrs. Robson,
Colonel Wyndham, Hon. Captain Stuart, Lieut. Archer,
Mr. Renwick, Mr. Hill, Mr. Wood, Mr. Dawson, and
Mr. Bloxam. Also the following cargo:-190 cases of
silk, 439 bales of goats, 6,000 drums of figs, raisins,
Lc., 384 bags of yellow berries, 14 tubs of leeches, 6
cases of otto, 5 ditto of opium, 40 packages of sundries.
The Gibraltar steam-packet Iberia, Captain Bowen, will
take her departure to-morrow, at three r. M. en route
for Gibraltar, with the Peninsular and other mails, also
a valuable cargo of bale goods, and above 26 passengers.
The Royal West India mail-packet Medway, Captain
Sharp, is hourly expected with mails. She was due yes-
terday.

Some alarming accounts of the state of New Zea-
land having appeared in the public papers a few days
back, we are happy to be able to relieve all anxiety upon
the subject, by informing our readers that the latest
authentic accounts, dated 7th July, represent our settle-
ments in that quarter to be in a most satisfactory and
tranquil state. This information will be received with
pleasure by the numerous parties at home, who are con-
nected by property with that most important colony, or
who have friends and relations amongst the settlers there.

INCENDIARY FIRE.—BRISTOL, Nov. 6.—Consi-
derable alarm has been created by the occurrence of a
fine on the farm of Mr. Jones, at liambrook, Glouces-
tershire (about six miles distant from this city), which
is evidently the work of some daring incendiary. The
intelligence of the occurrence was brought into Bristol
by a horse express at between one and two this morn-
ing, but previously to that the police had been alarmed
by the illuminated state of the atmosphere on the north-
east side of the city. As soon as the intelligence was
received here the fire engines of several of the fire
offices were honed and dispatched to the scene of the
conflagration. On arriving there the firemen found two
valuable corn stacks in flames. By the exertions of the
firemen and police the conflagration was got under
without further injury. That the ignition of the ricks
was neither spontaneous nor accidental is too evident,
the feaecat that an
trainold omanof
gunpowderempl oyed uponeon
communicating
theuni e
a t farmiug
forourend
with the rick, which had
the appearance of being re-
cently fired. The police authorities
are actively engaged
in endeavouring to trace
out the incendiaries.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.-Mr. Drummond, nephew of
Lord Auckland, has been appointed extra clerk in the
Admiralty, Whitehall,—Observer.
