CANTON REPORT FOR THE -3IONTH ENDING JUNE 20.

Cotton Yarn—ln consequence of its having become
known to the dealers }hat large supplies are on the way
out, they have taken alarm and been forcing their late
purchases upon the market at considerably lower rates,
say—

X 97 50 to 28 50 per pecul for Nos. 16 to 24
• 29 50 to 30 50 26 to 32
33 00 to 34 50 34 to 42
Importations since the 20th ultimo are 476 bales, de-
liveries 169, stock 2,954, ditto 240 at the same period
last year.
-At Amoy the market is bare. For a moderate sup-
ply 35 dolls. could be obtained for Nos. 16 to 24.
Higher numbers are not so well suited to that market.
Long-Cloths—We have again to report an exceed-
ingly dull market for these goods both in Canton and
Shanghai. Sales in this quarter have been almost en-
tirely monopolised by the dealers, who are said to have
moved off 30,000 pieces of greys at 2 dolls.2oc. to 2 dolls.
70c. and 15,1:100 of whites at 2 dolls. 40c. to 3 dolls. 05c.
per piece. On the arrival of new teas and silk at
market, however, some improvement was confidently
anticipated.
Long Ells—ln Canton have found purchasers to the
extent of 2,000 pieces at 7 dolls. 50c. to 8 dolls. 50c. for
assorted, and 10 dolls. to 11 dolls for scarlet, per piece,
which shows some slight advance on last month's quo-
tations. Stocks generally are at present said to be
moderate. We hear of no recent transactions at
Shanghai.
Opium—The market for Malwa has been exceedingly.
inactive since the date of our last, at our former quota-
tion of 530 dolls. per pecul for really good drug. At
Woosung not more than 535 dolls. Sycee can be obtained
for the very best new drug. Bengal Opium has been
somewhat firmer during the last few days in conse.
quence of the advice of higher rates ruling in Calcutta,
Patna may be quoted at 635 dolls., and Benares at
625 dolls. per chest. Turkey has been in rather more
favour of late at a slight advance, say 10 dolls. to 15 per
pecul.

Pepper—ls dull at 4,50 dolls, to 5 per pecul. Stock
with Importers 3,500 peculs.
Rice—Highly favourable weather for the native grow-
ing crop, which is expected to be an abundant One, has
produced a further decline in prices.
Saltpetre—ln consequence of recent heavy arrivals
prices have given way somewhat.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT FLADONG'S
On Saturday a robbery to a considerable amount was
discovered to have taken place at Fladong's
Oxford-street. It appears that on Friday evening a
very fashionably-dressed man, between 35 and 40 years
of age, and about five feet eight inches high, entered
the hotel in question, and after partaking of some re-
freshment requested to be accommodated with a bed.
He retired to rest at ten o'clock, and at an early hour in
the morning, upon one of the servants going down stairs
he found that the front door had been unchained and
unlocked. Being satisfied that some one must have
made his egress from the premises, it was ascertained on
examination that the " gentleman" who had engaged
the bed as before alluded to, had made his escape, having
left behihd a small carpet bag, containing a few
articles of but little, if any, value. Other apartments
were next searched, and it was found that from a box
in a sitting-room on the first floor had been stolen,
11 bank notes of 201. each, a gold watch, a gold
snuff-box, and two foreign notes, one of them for 1,000
francs, and the other for 500 francs. The whole of the
said property belongs to a gentleman named Marsh,
who, fur some days past, has been staying at the
hotel. The outer door of the room bore no marks of
violence, but from the appearance of the box, the lid of
it was beyond all doubt forced open with a chisel. In-
formation of the robbery was, in the course of the after-
noon, circulated throughout the whole of the divisions of
the police.
MELANCHOLY DEATH OF MR. WALTERS, OF THE
KING'S HEAD TAVERN, POULTRY. —On Saturday in-
formation was received in town of the sudden death of
Mr. Walters, of the King's Head Tavern, Poultry, under
the following most deplorable circumstances :—Mr.
Walters left town on Friday evening, about seven
o'clock, to proceed to his residence near Croydon, on
horseback. He does not appear to have been seen after-
wards until about nine o'clock, when, as one of the P
division of the Croydon police was on duty, within a
mile of that place he saw the body of a gentleman lying
in the road, but life was quite extinct. Upon subsequent
inquiries being made near the place, the body was iden-
tified as that of the unfortunate gentleman. It was im-
mediately removed to a house in the neighbourhood, and
information sent off to Croydon, where some of his
family are staying. The general opinion is that Mr.
Walters was seized with a tit, and fell off his horse, for
there is not the slightest reason to suppose his death was
the result of violence.

An order of the Prefect of Police has just been
issued, forbidding the circulation or stopping on the
public way of any carriage or vehicle whatever bearing
placards, bills, or other intimation of publicity.—French
paper.
THE LATE COL. SIODDART AND CAPT. CONOLLY.
—The Friend of India of the 29th of July, says, on the
subject of these two unfortunate gentlemen, " For some
time past there has been a rumour that the King of
Bokhara had put to death the infamous Abdool Sumud
Khan, who has been rendered so notorious by Dr.
Wolff's narrative. It has now been confirmed in a letter
of a merchant at Bokhara to his correspondent at Cabul.
The King struck him on the head himself with a small
axe, upbraiding him with having instigated him (the
King) to slay Stoddart and Conolly. This information
gives additional confirmation to that which was indeed
too erident previously—that those unfortunate officers
were positively put to death by the Commander of the
Faithful. Their relatives are, we fear, still buoyed up
with hopes of their existence, which it is natural for
92em to cherish, but the present intelligence places the
report of their death beyond all doubt.
On Saturday a long inquiry took place before W.
Carter, Esq., coroner for East Surrey, at the Shard's
Arms Tavern, Old Kent-road, as to the death of Sarah
Newby, aged twenty-three, which was alleged to have
taken place in consequence of eating a large quantity of
yellow soap. The deceased was not much snore than
two foot high, and though twenty-three years old, used
to sit in a common child's chair, and her age seemed not
more than ten. Mrs. Norris, of 1, Alpha-street, Old
Kent-road, stated that the deceased was quite an embe-
cile, and had been placed under her care by its father,
who paid six shillings a week for doing so. On Wed-
nesday morning Mr. Lodge, a surgeon, was to call and
see her children, and as she had seen him go into the
next house, she directed some soap which she was using
to be placed in the next room, where the deceased was
sitting. Soon after deceased was attacked with a fit,
and Mr. Lodge saw her. It was found she had eaten
some of the soap, she thought about an ounce, or an
ounce and a half. The deceased died the next morn-
ing. Mr. Lodge, of Rye-lane, Peckham, surgeon, gave
it as his opinion that the deceased died in consequence
of the fit, and the exhaustion brought on by her hav-
ing eaten the soap. The jury returned a verdict to
that effect.

On Saturday _ morning, at a quarter before three
o'clock, considerable alarm was created in the vicinity of
Portman-square, in consequence of loud cries of "Fire,"
proceeding from the house of Mrs. A. J. Pochin, a lady
of property, situate at No. 17, Lower Seymour street.
In a very brief period the police on duty in the neigh-
bourhood entered the house, when the whole of the bed-
ding and drapery in the second floor front were found
wrapped in a general blaze. The engines arrived in
quick succession, and the firemen having set to work,
they succeeded in getting the mastery over the flames,
but unfortunately not until Mrs. Pochin was most fright.
fully burned, so much so that the flesh upon some por-
tions of her body, when touched, peeled off: A medical
gentleman was promptly in attendance, who did every
thing that the nature of the case required, but so seri-
ously was she burned that not the least hopes were en-
tertained of her surviving through last night. The
premises and furniture were considerably damaged by
fire and heat. From the fact of a book and candlestick
being found in bed, it is supposed that Mrs. Pochin was
reading in bed, and that she must have fallen asleep, and
until she became surrounded with the flames was uncon-
scious of what had happened.
FUNERAL or MR. WESTON.—The remains of the
late lamented W. R. Weston, Esq., Surveyor-General
of her Majesty's Customs, who lost his life by the late
disastrous accident on the Manchester and Leeds Rail-
way, were interred on Saturday in a family vault at St.
Dunstan's-in-the-East, near the Custom-house, in the
pretelice of numbers of his brother officers.
