MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
The present week's arrivals of English Wheat have been
but moderate, and the show of samples of that grain here was
small. The accounts respecting the potato cop
being still unfavourable, the demand was steady,
and in some instances selected parcels produced
a trifle more money, the value of other qualities
being firmly supported. Foreign Wheat, free as well as in
bond, moved off readily at an advance in the quotations of
quite Is per quarter. The show of Barley was by no means
large. Most kind were in good request at very full prices.
The quantity of Malt on show was not large, yet no advance
took place in the quotations. Fine parcels of Oats were In
good request, at a further advance in the currencies of 6d per
quarter. The middling and inferior kinds were quite as
dear. Beans, Peas, and Flour fully supported late rates.

SATITIZPIEIMO.
The supply of Beasts on sale here to-day being large, and
the weather somewhat unfavourable to slaughtering, the
Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at barely the late
decline in the quotations. There were in the market 500
foreign Beasts, 1,570 ditto Sheep, and 48 Lambs, in full
average condition. The numbers of Sheep were small, yet
the Mutton trade was rather dull, at Monday's prices. Lambs
were in short supply, and heavy inquiry, at late rates. In
Calves a full average amount of business was transacted, at
an advance in the currencies of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. Pigs
moved off slowly, without alteration in value. Mulch Cows
sold heavily, at from 161 to 18/10s,including their small Calf.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
The best new Hops continue in good request, at fully, in
some instances a trifle beyond, last week's prices. In the
middling and inferior qualities only a moderate business is
doing. Very few parties are inclined to back the duty

DISTRESSING Suicum—A Coroner's inquest was
held on Wednesday night, before Mr. Mills, on the body
of Mr. Allen, aged twenty-five, an architect and artist,
who resided with his mother, in Hunter-street, Bruns-
wick-square, in whose house the inquest took place. It
appeared that Mr. Allen had exhibited great depression
of spirits since the death of his sister, about six months
since, and that on Sunday last he went to see the tomb-
stone that was about to be placed over her grave. On
Tuesday afternoon he shut himself in his room, and
discharged a pistol into his mouth. He was found dead
by the servant who wont to call him to dinner. The
verdict of the jury was, "That the deceased destroyed
himself, but in what state of mind he was in at the time
he committed the act there is not sufficient evidence to
show."

Yesterday afternoon a bricklayer's labourer, named
O'Moye, whilst with a hod of bricks, ascending a ladder
placed against the house of Mr. Weston, No. 40, Bishops-
gate-street Without, one of the steps broke, and the
poor fellow was thrown with frightful violence to the
ground. His skull was dangerously faactured.
EMPLOYMENT ON RAILROADS.--It is computed
that there are 200,000 navigators employed on railroads.
WEST OF ENGLAND SOCIETY FOR THE EN-
COURAGEMENT OF AGRICULTURE, &C.—A meeting of
this society, the parent of all the agricultural societies
in England, was held on Wednesday last. It com-
menced with a ploughing match, and ended with a dinner
at the Gloucester Hotel, Hotwells, Clifton, near Bristol,
when the chair was taken by W. Miles, E,q., M.P.
After the usual loyal toasts had been duly honoured, the
chairman proposed the health of the president of the
society, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and in doing so ex-
pressed his regret that a prise offered by that nobleman,
for the best drained farm, had not been competed for,
notwithstanding the farmers in the several counties of
Gloucester, Wilts, and Somerset were e'igible. He re-
gretted it the more, because he was convinced that unless
they drained and availed themselves of all the means
now offered by science they would find it impossible
to compete with other countries—(Hear, hear)--and he
knew, and they all must be well aware, that there was
ample room for improvement in the system of cultiva-
tion pursued, both in that and the neighbouring counties.
The remainder of this and the other speeches possessed
only a local interest. The party broke up about nine
o'clock.
It appears that the Government is about to employ
the three steam-frigates of 450 horse-power each, lately
built for the Transatlantic service, by using them for car-
rying the mails between Havre and New'
York. The
Government does not intend to undertake Permanently
this line, but merely to try their powers as merchant
ships, and at the same time ascertain the expense of the
transit.—Galignani.
FIRE AND LOSS OF LlFE.—Yesterday afternoon the
inhabitants of Ann-street, Globe-fields 4 Mile-end, were
alarmed by hearing loud cries of " fire proceeding from
the house, No. 1, in that thoroughfare. Upon entering
the first floor, a most pitiable scene presented itself. A
young girl about five years of age, named Ann Elizabeth
Hollingdale, was perceived on the floor, with the whole
of her wearing apparel blazing away most furiously.
The fire was extinguished, and the unfortunate creature
was taken to the London Hospital, where she soon died
from the effects of the burns.
ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH, STEPNEY.—OH Tuesday
evening this very handsome Gothic edifice was re-
opened, its fine-toned organ being enlarged and repaired
by Holdich. A full choral service was performed.
BROMPTON nor HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday evening
the usual meeting of the committee of management took
place at the board room in the new building at Brolly-
ton. It appears that everything is progressing in the
most satisfactory manner ; the furnishing of the various
spacious wards is being pushed forward, and the system
of ventilation adopted from the designs of Dr. Arnott,
although elaborate and intricate, will unquestionably be
most effeetive.
OPENING OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOLS.—Yesterday
being the first day of October, several of the medical
schools of the metropolis commenced the business of the
session. Introductory lectures were delivered in the
course of the duy at Guy's Hospital, by Dr. Golding
Bird; at St. George's, by Sir Benjamin Brodie; at St.
Thomas's, by Dr. Barker; at University College, by
Dr. Murphy; and at the 'Theatre of Anatomy and Medi-
cine, Grosvenor-place, by Dr. Theophilus Thompson.
DISCOVERY OF HUMAN BONES.—Yesterday a
human skull, together with various portions of several
others, and a number of thigh bones and other smaller
ones, were found amongst some rubbish in front of a
house in Edward-street, Barnsbury-road, Islington, at
present in course of erection. The circumstance occa-
sioned much speculation in the neighbourhood, and it is
imagined that as the street is little frequented, persons
employed to remove fhe bones from some of the burying
places in the metropolis have dropped them there in
passing.
HAIL STORM.—We learn that her Majesty has
contributed 201., and his Royal Highness Prince Albert
101., to the subscription for the relief of the nurserymen
and others who suffered by the late hail storm. We
sinderstand that the losses are estimated at 15,0001., and
that the committee have only received at present about
1,500/.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE
TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
• The only bets laid by the 10 subscribers present were 8 to 1
against Torn Tullock to 25/. ; 10 to 1 agst The Baron to 55/.,
12 to 1 agst Sting to 10/. ; 20 to 1 agst Plaudit, 20 to 1 agst
Cranebrook, and 20 to 1 agst Giantess—the last three to
very small amounts.

THE GREAT METROPOLITAN STAKES, 1847.
This interesting stake, which made such a brilliant first
appearance this year, and to which MO/. was so li-
berally added by the inhabitants of this metropolis, has
undergone some alterations and improvements at the
hands of the authorities. The Stake is for the future to be 25,
15 forfeit, and fire if declared, and 100 for the second horse,
and 50 for the third ; the course to be lengthened to nearly
two miles and a quarter :—To start at the winning chair,
turning out at Tattenham Corner, and back, similar to the
Goodwood Cup Course, and in sight the whole way. We
hear the necessary alterations to the course are nearly com-
plete. The amount of the bonus for 1847 is not yet ascer-
tained, but we understand that there is already a consider-
able sum promised, or collected ; and, from the activity and
energy of the parties who have the matter in hand, we fancy
the bonus for 1847 must be very great.
