Itspicio.—The Quarterly sale of East India commenced to-
day, and during the progress 132 chests were withdrawn, and
9813 chests have passed the sale. The attendance of foreign
and home buyers was exceedingly small, and the biddings
throughout the day have been very languid. Pro-
prietors, in order to support prices, hare bought in a
considerable proportion ; the quantity which was sold,
however, went off very unevenly at the following
rates as compared with the October sale's prices. Bengal,
ordinary to good consuming qualities 2d to 4d discount, ordi-
nary to middling shipping ditto 2d to 3d ditto, a few lots of
good ditto par to 2d ditto. Kurpahs, middling about par,
ordinary and low 2d to 3d discount ; Madras, middling 2d to'
3d ditto, ordinary and low 3d to 4d ditto. Proprietors have
bought in 483 chests, leaving 590 sold. The Bengal went
from 2s 8d to 4s Ild, and the Madras is 6d to 2s 8d per lb.
The total quantity declared for sale was 7,705 chests.
Otts.—The market having keen more liberally supplied
with Southern previous rates have not been supported; a
good demand, however, has prevailed. Seal has been pur-
chased with caution, and holders experience difficulty in
keeping up prices. Holders of Sperm are unwilling to fur-
ther reduce their prices; but there has been little passing.
The Stock of Cod and Seal is large, but of Southern it is
rather small. There has. been a falling off in the demand for
Cocoa Nut, and prices are not so firm. Rape-seed Oil has
been sparingly dealt in. and can be obtained on easier terms.
In Olive only a moderate business has been transacted, and
prices are not so firm. No further decline has occurred in the
value of Linseed Oil, the crushers heinz less inclined to rea-
lise. Palm has met with less attention, and must be quoted
a little cheaper. Lard Oil is still dull of sale, and may be
had at easier rates.
TALLOW. —The rates paid for Russian have been fully
equal to those of this day week, and on the spot there has
been a good business transacted, fine P. Y. candle bringing
43s 3d per cwt, for delivery in the next two months several
contracts have been entered into at 43s 6d. Home mule
has been much in request, and advance in the value has taken
place. The business transacted in all other descriptions of
of Tallow has been at firm rates.

MILITIA BALLOT.—On Thursday evening a large
meeting was held at Mr. J. J. Homer's, Dolphin Tavern,
Hackney, to form a Militia Substitute Society. Mr. C.
Green presided, and addressed the meeting on the necessity
of providing, by mutual assistance, against the unenviable
honour of acquiring fame in the militia service. He was a
loyal subject, but his love for her Majesty would not tempt
him to leave home for military glories. He felt great
pleasure in enrolling himself a member of the society, under
the auspices of Mr. Homer, whose character guaranteed his
respectability. Mr. Homer was a lover of peace, and
earnestly hoped that the exertions of the press, aided by the
laudable efforts of the Peace Society, would be successful in
averting the horrors of threatened war. No reflective poli-
tician, however, could shut his eyes to the fact that our
friendly relation with America was likely to be disturbed;
in which case, the Government contemplated the formation
of the militia troops. To retain husbands, brothers, sons,
and lovers in fatherland, their society was farmed; and he
was sure that its rules were founded on a basis that would
ensure general approbation. The rules were then read from
the chair, and agreed to; and after the appointment of a
treasurer (Mr. Homer), and secretary, a large number of in-
habitants, comprising many licensed victuallers of Hackney
and its vicinity, were enrolled. A vote of thanks was given
to the chairman, and the meeting separated.
MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.—SUSPICIOUS CASE.—
On Wednesday evening, er early on Thursday morning, a
murder is supposed to have been committed, in a barn be-
longing to Mr. Charlesworth, at Longnor. On some of the
servants going into the barn on Thursday morning, they dis-
covered a female's cap upon the ground, saturated with blood.
The cap was trimmed with pink ribbon, and appeared to
be one that had belonged to a respectable person. We do
not hear that there were any indications of a struggle having
taken place in the barn, but there were considerable quan-
tities of blood on different parts of the floor, and near to the
cap an open razor was found likewise deeply stained with
blood. A long track of blood was traced for a considerable
distance on the road which leads from the barn. Diligent
search has been made by the police and the inhabitants of
the district, without success. What renders the affair most
mysterious is, the fact that no female or ether person in the
neighbourhood is missing.—,3facclelfiel4 Chronicle.
