MARKET NEWS-(YESTERDAY)-

COnN-EXCELEINGE.
The present week's arrivals of English Wheat have been on a very
limited scale ; yet the stands were fairly supplied with :Monday's un-
sold samples. All descriptions met a very dull inquiry, and previous
rates were with difficulty supported. The show of foreign Wheat
was again large, owing to which the sale for that article wat exces-
sively heavy, at almost nominal figures. Grinding Barley, and the
best parcels of Malt moved off at late rates, but all other kinds were
quite neglected. Owing to the continued influx of foreign Oats, the
Oat trade was heavy, and the quotations had a downward tendefCY•
Beaus, Peas, and Flour as last advised.

LOSS OF THE MAIDEN CITY

STEAMER.
STRANRAER, TUESDAY NlGHT.—entisid3rable alarm WI:
created this morning by the receipt of a communication from
the coast-guard station at East Tarbert, distant about Ilftee2:
miles from this port. announcing the wreck of one of the
Irish packet steam-ships off that coast, with 110 passengel'
on board. Immediately Lloyd's agent and other persons con'
nected with shipping prneeded to Tarbert, and on arriving.
ascertained the report to be only too well founded. The ill-
fated vessel they found to be the Maiden City, a tbre:;
masted steamer, Captain Richard Crompton commander, a t!
that she had that morning driven ashore on the rocks under
the part of the coast called the Mull of Galloway. The vessels
it appears, had for some time been running between Liverposif
Portrush, and Londonderry, with passengers, &c. She left
Liverpool yesterday (Monday) at one o'clock, p.m., havie%
upwards of one hundred passengers on board. The weather
was as fine as could be anticipated, and so continued till
near eleven o'clock, when the atmosphere became hazy
The course of the steamer was then, as we are informed'
N.N.W., approaching the coast of Wigton, on the extreme
south-western part of Scotland, between 120 and 140 miles
from Liverpool. It appears almost certain that she was out
of her track—whether from neglect or the force of currents
it is impossible at present to state. Notwithstanding the'
dense state of the atmosphere, the engines were kept
going, as it is alleged, at full speed, when about one o'clons•
she struck violently the rocks before mentioned. A veil°
of the most painful character ensued amongst the par
sengers. Such was the force of the shock as to carry avraY"
part of her keel and hull, and the sea rapidly washing into
her, compelled the passengers who were ()dew to cons? 4TI
