n
DinihTantEhs47fouseholders was helyd
afternoon a meeting o
at the vestry, to make a poor 's rate for the current quarter,
and als to make a church-yard rate. Mr. J. Bewley, senior
churchwarden, who presided, explained the objects of the
meeting. Mr Ware, the vestry clerk, then proceeded to
read over the estimates, amongst which was one of 1,950/.
to defray the expense of enlarging the workhouse. Upon
this item a long and animated discussion took place. After
some discussion one of the trustee party proposed that the
vestry do now adjourn, which motion was secoaded amiist
vehement execrations from the ratepayers. The Church-
warden called for a poll on the question of the adjournment,
which was carried under a protest, and the vestry dispersed,
several of the parishioners declaring that they would appeal
against any rate made by the trustees.
INTREPID CONDUCT OF A FRENCH GENTLEMAN.--
DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE IN ST. JAMES'S PARK.—
Tuesday afternoon, about four o'clock, a respectably-dressed
female, apparently about thirty-eight years of age, leaped
into the ornamental water in the enclosure, immediately
facing the Horse Guards. Au alarm was raised by several
persons who witnessed the occurrence, and (me of them, a
French gentleman, divested himself of his coat, and dived in
after her; in a moment afterwards he appeared at the surface
of the water with the female in his arms. Both were evi-
dently in an exhausted state, and by this time a large num-
ber of persons were collected, and, with some difficulty, they
were brought ashore.- The female, who was quite insensible,
was conveyed with the greatest promptitude by the park-
keepers to Westminster Hospital. Some hopes are enter-
tained of her recovery. The gentleman was taken home
in a cab.
THE BOARD OF TRADE AND THE POTATO FAILURE.
—The Board of Trade is at present collecting information re-
lative to the potatoes, so far as that is known in the port of
London. Some of the merchants think the Government Is
thereby preparing to justify itself before Parliament in pro-
posing the abolition of the corn-law. Others think not,
from the limited and partial nature of the inquiry. It seems
to be confined, in most part, to persons not particularly well
acquainted with the subject. On Friday the Board selected
some of the fruit-meters for examination. They are also
meters of potatoes, and as such may know how many
have arrived by sea in the port of London. Whether
any other persons connected with the potato trade
are to be examined, does not yet appear. But
those who could best give evidence as to the quantity now In
existence, which is the question at issue, are, the agents of
the London dealers, who go into the country amongst the
farmers to buy, or the farmers who grow them. On Friday,
while a messenger from the Board of Trade was waiting at
one of the wharfs to conduct the meters to Westminster to
be examined, the said meters were running from one dealer
to another, from one agent to another, and from one
Goole captain to another, and among the York-
shire sailors, to inform themselves of what the probable
state of the potato crop in Yorkshire is. This was proper
conduct on their part, as it showed they were not willing to
speak of the potatoes actually in existence from what
had passed through their hands for measurement ; but it
also showed that they are not the persons best acquainted
with the subject.

MARKET NE WS.-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN-EXCHANGE.
The supply of English Wheat on show this morning was
small ; hence the demand for most descriptions was steady,
at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday. The best
parcels of free foreign Wheat were quite as dear. In other
qualities, as well as bonded sorts, next to nothing was doing;
Malting Barley was quite as dear. Grinding and distillinif
had a downward tendency. Malt and tats, Beans, VeaS,
and Flour, the supplies of which on offer were moderately
good, were held at full prices.

REFUGE FOR THE HOUSELESS.— Orders were re-

sequence of the continued warmth of the weather they have
been countermanded. On Tuesday night last the unfortu-

and amply regaled with hread and coir-ce, at the Whitecross-
