WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—This week's
arrivals are large of wheat, and good of other articles. A
decline of ls. to 2s. per quarter is submitted to on wheat, at
which there is a healthy demand. For barley there is very
little inquiry, and prices are 2s. per quarter lower. Oats
and Shelling are unaltered in value, but meet a readier sale.
Beans remain same as last stated.
DEATH AFTER THE USE OF THE ETHER ANTIDOTE
're PAIN. —On Friday week, at the Essex and Colchester
Ho,pital, the operation of lithotomv was performed by Mr.
R. S. Nuon, upon Thomas Herbert, labourer, while under
the influence of the vapour of ether, in the presence of Mr.
Bransby Cooper, the well-known surgeon, and almost the
entire medical staff of the town and neighbourhood. In the
absence of pain, and its skilful execution, the operation was

THE GREAT BELL FO3. MONTREAL.—The casting
of this, the largest bell ever yet made in the country, was
successfully completed on Satarday last, at the foundry of
Messrs. Mears, in Whitechapel. The quantity of metal
fused was about twenty-five tons. The founders, it is stated,
intend to give the public an opportunity of inspecting the
work when perfectly finished, previous to its shipment for
Canada.
ROBBERY IN AN Ommuus.—Yesterday afternoon
information was received by the police that between the
hours of one and two o'clock, a lady of the name of Lindley,
of Brian Villas, Hammersmith, whilst in an omnibus in
Albany-street, Regent's Park, had her pocket picked of
a brown silk purse, containing two 5/. Bank of England
notes, four sovereigns and a half, and thirteen shillings in
silver.
VENTILATION OF STABLES.--Horses are liable to 1
consumption when kept in badly-ventilated stables; and we
are informed by Mr. Edwin Chadwick that a discovery was
only lately made as to the effect of defective ventilation on
the cavalry horses in some of the Government barracks in
England ; and it is stated that a saving of several thousand
pounds per annum was effected by an easy improvement of
the ventilation of the barracks near the metropolis.—The
Builder.
