CuiZ,N EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
fl.:e arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last week
were on a very moderate scale, while the receipts of all other,
articles of home produce were scanty, especially those 01
i%lalt and Peas. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any
Grain came to hand. The imports of Foreign Wheat were.,
unusually small, those of Barley and Oats tolerably goo'.
Fresh up a fair average quantity of Wheat reached us from
Kent, but that from Essex, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshirei
&c., was rather limited. On the whole, the dibploi °
sampl,s —a portion of which came to hand by land car'
riage—was seasonably good, and of full average 9,.";
lity. The favourable change in the weather, toger;
with the unwillingness evinced by the French buyers to
the asking prices, caused the demand for all descriptions t_u
b less active than was generally expected prior to the.
mencement of business. Still, 'however, the trade most ,1..

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT GRAVESEDnto
GRAVESEND, SATURDAY EYENING.--Shortly after twelve to.
morning the town was again aroused to a state of alarm the
the outbreak of a fire in Harmer-street, in a line with 00
Terrace-pier, originating on the premises, No. 13, situstele,

It was discovered by a person who ebeerved a great Ugh' 0d
the front shop. He lost no time in giving the alarm,
arousing the inmates, who effected their escape by jump 'f,
out of the windows at the back. On the arrival of the towl
corporation engines no one seemed to have any knowledge f,
their proper management, and the greatest contention
vailed among the firemen as to who should have priont.Y.
At one period there was a fight to obtain possession of 0..:
branch pipes. To render the confusion worse, no water IT.

exerted themselves most energetically. The inhabitante!

the assistance of the brigade forces and engines, which Slice

they were preserved from injury. The fate of Mr. Pan
premises was very different—the whole were destroyed, au_t
the contents consumed. The fire was not finally got un?!..i
till near four o'clock. As to the cause, not the slightest In
formation could be gleaned.
