RUMOURS Or THE DAY.

A Canada paper states that a Colonel Wood, of
Natchez, is said to have sailed for England with docu-
ments in his possession which, he believes, will prove
that he is the rightful heir of the late James Wood, of
Gloucester.
The authorities of the Tower intend to have a bazaar
in the White Tower next week for the sale of relics, at
fixed prices. It is to be hoped the relic• worshippers
will be made to pay well for " their whistle."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS•
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 26.—There has
been au improved demand for American and East India
Cotton this week, but without any alteration in prices of
either descriptions, and we therefore adopt our last quo-
tations. For Brazil and Egyptian there is only a mode-
rate demand, and they are heavy at last week's prices.
There have been taken on speculation 2,900 American,
and for exportation 300 American and 700 Surat.

The state of the commercial markets this week does
not call for much remark. As Christmas approaches,
business in produce is narrowed. The heaviest sales have
been those of Tea, and we are promised more in
a few days. Although the holders; therefore, make a
show of firmness, they cannot abstain from realizing.
Coffee participates in the heaviness of Tea, but
Sugars keep up their price. Abroad mercantile mat-
ters, as the reported failures prove, are not in
a very satisfactory state, but the accounts to-day from
Hungary are cheering. The union of Austria with the
German Customs' League, is seriously adverted to in the
accounts from Hamburgh to-day.
Consols, Money, 894 ; Ditto, Account, 8942 ; Mexican,

HER MAJESTY.—We are rejoiced to state that
the Queen is in so satisfactory a state of convalesence
that her Majesty has signified her intention of quitting
Buckingham Palace, for Windsor Castle, on Wednesday,
the 15th of December ; and orders have been given to
the Household to make all necessary preparations, and
be in readiness for the removal of the Court on that day,
or as near the same as shall be the wish of her Majesty.
The Prince anti Princess continue in excellent health.
The christening of the Duke of Cornwall will take place
shortly after the arrival of the Court at Windsor.

DERBYSHIRE DIAMONDS.—Perhaps it may
not be generally known that the Peak of Derbyshire
produces what are termed Derbyshire diamonds. They
are small detached and perfect crystals of colourless
quartz, of an hexagonical prism terminated by pyramids,
and others of a lighter colour. They are often found at
Bakewell, Brassington-common, Buxton, Castleton, and
Darley-dale. They are greatly inquired after, and
much used by the lapidaries of Birmingham, Derby,
&c.—Derby Chronicle.
THE LINES ON THE DEATH OF SIR JOHN
MOORS.—A fragment of a letter addressed to Mr. Tay-
' lor, bearing the post Mark of ISeprember 6, 1816, and
written by the late Rev. Charles Wolfe, has been found,
containing a complete copy of the lines on the death of
Sir John Moore, and a sentence stating that his (Mr.
Taylor's) praise of the stanzas first written had led him
to complete the poem. This document will henceforth
remove all doubt on the subject of the authorship of
these beautiful lines.
ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN
RAILWAY.—We are informed that an accident occurred
on Friday to the up mail train, by which one of the
carriages was overturned, and the line stopped for seve-
ral hours. We have not received any particulars of the
accident, but we understand no lives were lost. The
Bath and Bristol letters and papers were not delivered ,
in consequence till some hours after the usual time.
