SINGULAR METAMORPHOSIS.—There is now in the
p,ssession of Mr. W. Barr, cowfeeder, Cook-street,
Tradeston, Glasgow, a beautiful white hen, two years old,
which till a recent date was as black as a crow.—Edin-
burgh Weekly Register.
NEW COIN.—FIVE-SOVEREIGN PIECES.—Some
five-sovereign pieces have lately been struck at the Royal
Mint, by Mr. Wyon, the senior medallist, and though as
yet but in the hands of a few of the authorities, and not
const•quently in public circulation, they stand as portion
of the coin of the realm, but whether they will be called
out for general use immediately or otherwise, the Go-
vernment have not decided. This gold piece is con-
sidered, not only by
it, to
but all the eminent per-
eons who have seen tci. be the most perfect of coins, to
use the terms of an eminent artist. In point of size, it
bears resemblance
it to a crown-piece, but otherwise, irre-
spective of value,is much neater in detail. The ob-
verse displays a representation of her Majesty, and the
reverse the figure of her Majeity as Una, as so beau-
%dully described by Spenser, guarded by the lion
(standard of England), and holding the sceptre. It may
Le well, perhaps, to inform the public who must for some
time back have noticed an absence of the figure of St.
George from the new crown-pieces, that such emblem
liaa been entirely discontinued.

DEATH OF SIR GEO. W0M8WEL).7.,4
This, the second baronet of his line, whose name ia
many respects may be familiar to the reader, expired on.
the 28th instant, at the ancient family seat, Wombwell,
in Yorkshire, aged 70. For some months back the
Right Hon. Baronet's health, owing entirely to his ad-
vanced age, had been declining, and the event now an-
nounced was not in consequence altogether unexpected.
Sir George was born on the 14th of March, 1769, being
the son of the first baronet, an extensive merchant and
East India proprietor, and for a considerable period
chairman of the East India Company, by Susanah, only
daughter of Alderman Sir Thomas Rawlinso.T.,,' Knight,
of London. He had 'the misfortune to lose h.;s father
when not more than eleven years of age, and in ponse-
quence the estates were held in trust for upwards of ten
years. The deceased was twice married, viz.—first, tin
the 19th of July, 1791, to Lady Anne, daughter of the
second Earl of Fauconberg (title now extinct), by Char-
lotte, sister to Deniston Lambe, first Viscount Mel-
bourne, and by that lady he had issue George Womb-
well, so well known in fashionable circles, born in 1792;
Henry William, born in 1795, died in 1835 ; and Fre-
derick Richard, born 1797, died in 1807; and secondly,
he was united to Eliza, daughter of T. B. Little, Esq.,
of Hampstead, by whom, who survives, he had, amongst
other children, a son and daughter, both dead ; a son,
Charles, born in 1813.
The titles and estates are succeeded to by George,
eldest son above mentioned, who married, in 1824,
Georgiana, the youngest daughter of 0. Hunter, Esq.,
of Crowland Abbey, Lincolnshire - and an elder sister
of that lady is the wife of Charles irombwell, Esq., step-
brother to the present baronet.
This family is of ancient and honourable extraction,
and deduce their descent from Robert de Wombwell,
who lived in the time of King Stephen, and who derived
his surname from his place of residence, Wombwell,
county of York. The estates were out of the possession
of the family for some years, having been alienated by
an heiress, but were purchased and brought back by the
first baronet.

THE CORN 'TRADE.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY.—The duties on all kinds of fo-
reign grain and flour remain at the lowest points. The
imports from Ireland and coastwise continue on an ex-
tremely limited scale ; from Canada only 356 barrels of
flour are reported ; and from foreign ports, 9,052 quar-
ters of wheat, 941 quarters of Indian corn, and 9,328
barrels of flour. The trade since Tuesday has not been
lively, but a fair consumptive demand has been experi-
enced for every article in the trade, at the extreme prices
of that day. In bonded wheat or flour no transactions
of moment have transpired. Our market to-day was
thinly attended by millers and dealers, and the market
beingexcessively flat, scarcely any transactions took place.
Where any sales of wheat were made, lower prices had
to be submitted to; and flour, both free and bonded, was
offered at a decline of Is. 6d. per barrel. Oats, barley,
beans, peas, Indian corn and meal being scarce, were
held for former rates, but very few transactions occurred.

EDE'S CITY WEEKLY ALMANAC.

This little periodical almanac, which is now being
published from week to week, is the carrying out of
one of those excellent notions which cause amazement
at their never having been thought of before. For
mercantile men this will prove an admirable assist-
ance, and will materially simplify . their prospective
arrangements. Each almanac embraces one week;
and, in separate divisions, we have the day of the
week, the day of the month, blank tablets for en-
gagements, and a most copious list of memoranda.
We cannot afford a better notion of the completeness
of this very useful circular than by transcribing the
memoranda given for a single day. Here is the list
for Monday, November 2 :
Meetings of Creditors at Bankrupts' Court, Basing-
hall-street :—(2d meeting)—R. B. Bradley, at eleven
o'clock ; John Richards, jun., at one o'clock.

GROUP XXV,

The Select Committee on this group re-assembled at the usual
hour this morning, hi the Westminster Sessions-house ; the lion. Mr.
Lascelles in the chair.

DIALDON; VTITNEY, AND BRAINTREE,

The first business taken this morning was the landholders' opposi-
tion to this line. The line was opposed by only one landholder, and this
opposition was dig ected to be made by the Court of Chancery, the pro-
perty alleged to be injured by the railway being the subject of a Chan-
cery suit. It was contended that as all the traffic went from the interior
of' the county of Essex to a place called Collier's Reach, where the river
Biackwater was navigable at all times, and not to Maldon, i t was quite
impossible that the proposed railway could prove a profitable underta-
king. Theo water at Maldou was so precarious and shallow that vessels
of only a moderate towage evert could no, get up there, and supposing
therefore Parliament sanctioned the proposed railway, it would have
to be extended to Collier's Reach, while if h line going direct from
Brain:ree to Collier's Reach were adopted, it would prove more eco-
nomical, and do less injury to resAential and other valuable
property. It transpired in the course of the inquiry that
t ere was a cetnpany organised for making such a line,
from Braintree to Collier's Reach, but the scheme had been aban-
doned for the present session. It originated, it appeared, with the
Chelmer and Blackwater Navig tion Company.
The CnatemaN'objected to the 'opposition taking this course. It
ought to be confined to the injury which was likely to be done to the
petitioner's property in the parish of Langford.
Mr. GLassa contended that he had a right to show that there was
no public necessity for the line, and therefore his client's property
ought not to be injured in any way.
Mr. JAMES, on the contrary, submitted that his Learned Friend
had no tight to take any such course.

GROUP XIX.

The Committee assembled this day at twelve o'clock ; preseni
Lord 'Harry Vane (Chairman), Earl of March, Hon. F. Scott
Moirris, and Mr Phillip !tem-lett.

The consideration of the EXeter,TopTham, and Exmonth Railway
was proceeded with.
A preliminary application was made by Mr. Sergeant Munrar, on
behalf of the promoters to be permitted to examh.e the engineering
witnesses called for the other side, as witnesses for one Bill, and he
grounded his application on the fact of the impossibility of anticipat-
ing the engineering advantages of the opposite line.
2lr. COCKBURN objected to the application, contending that the
documents and forms which were exhibited and analysed were quite
sufficient to show the whole case of the proposed Bill.

The CHAIRMAN said that the Committee were unanimously of
opinion that after a winless had undergone his examination and
cross-examination, be could not be re-called by either party in

THE CORN TRADE.

- -
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—There is a fair quantity of dour
from Ireland this week ; but of other articles thence and
coastwise the arrivals are limited.
We have had a tolerably good demand for wheat, and more
particularly fur old, for which very full rates have been ob-
tained. The inferior descriptions of wheat have had little
attention.
Flour has had a steady sale, and both sacks sand barrels
maintain late prices.
Oats and oatmeal have each commanded a small advance.
Barley, beans, and peas, are without alteration in value.
TUESDAY.—At to-day's market there was a mode-
rate supply of wheat from the farmers, and Mark-lane ac-
counts being better, our millers were obliged to give rather
more money for good wheat; secondary sorts unsaleable.
In beans, peas, and barley, no alteration.
Several samples of oats showing, and rather more money
paid.
In Linseed the business passing is immaterial, and the
arrivals are not large. Linseed cakes have been selling at
lower rates, and more buyers have come forward in conse-
quence.
No rapeseed in the market. Rape cakes arrive more freely,
and sales are effected at full rates.

Bones are in good demand.
Guano moves off pretty freely at a shade more money.
WAKEFIELD, FRIDAY.—The supplies of all grain are MO-
derate. We had more business doing in wheat to-day, and
in some instances the finest qualities made rather more
money ; there was also a better inquiry for common sorts.
Fine barley was easy sale, other descriptions in slow re-
quest at previous rates.
Beans sold at a slight advance.
Oats I,d. per stone, and Shelling 6d. per load higher.
Malt as before.
WARRINGTON, WEDNESDAY.—At the market the supply
of wheat is rather short; prices were about last week's
quotation, with a slight tendency downwards, say 7s. to
7s. 6d., 7s. 9d. and Bs. per 701 b.
Oats (seed) 3s. Bd. to 4s. per 451 b.
Flour, best seconds, 365. to 38s.
Meal, 335. to 345. per 240 lb.
Of potatoes there were very few at the market, and all
were sold at 6d. per load more money; Pink-eyes, ils. 6d.;
Radicals, for seed, were dull sale at 6s. to Bs. per load of 25514

LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,0001., the Assured have
the security of the Company's rapidly increasing income, and an
accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other
available securities, of considerably larger amount than the esti-
mated liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible
with the security of the Assured and the stability of the Company,
thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an Immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.
