" On account of the prices of all kinds of corn in the kinz-

of the crops in 1845, the Council of Administration has re-
solved that the exportation of the following articles shall be
prohibited till the Ist of July, 1846, viz. :—Rye, barley, flour,
Muck-wheat, pease, oats, potatos, hay, and straw, along the

CURRENTS OF THE OCEAN.
The following has been picked up on the French coast,
and been forwarded to Lloyd's, by the French Consul :
" Jtalr 27, 1845.—Brig Bravo, of London, from Ham-
bound to Jamaica, lat. 46 15 N., lon. 9 15 W.
My object for trying this experiment is with the hope
I may some dz:y learn when it is picked up. For the past
tw,. days I have bad the wind varying from N.W. to W.,
squally weather; have found tremendous strong currcnts—
in fact, similar to those in. the Cut of Gibraltar. This
»igbt, at 12h. P.m., to 12h. 30m., we passed through a cur-
rent just like a race. By observations both for lat. and
chronometer, I have found myself difkr thirty miles each
day, so that will account fhr the past two drys. I have often
been told of the existence of a N.W. current, and which
is stated in the' Chart,' and Directory.' I have found it
going to the S.E. •
" Whoever picks this up, I hope will duly report it.
" JAMES PAIN,
'4 Master of the Bravo.

"All well on board."

MURDERS AND SUICIDE AT CAMBERWELL.—Wednes-
day an inquiry took place before Mr. W. Carter, at the
Bricklayers' Arms Tavern, Southampton-street, Camberwell,
as to the deaths of Mr. P. lloreau, and H. and W. Horeau,
his sons, murdered by him on Monday morning, previous to
his own suicide. The three bodies were lying aide by side,
on. a mattress in the room where the dreadful acts were com-
mitted. The father and eldeet son presented a ghastly spec-
tacle, from the tremendous wounds on the threats, while the
infant seemed but in a sleep. Mrs. W. A. C. Horeau, the
widow, produced the folloWing. letter which she found in her
husband's pocket-hook after his death. It was addressed
"Mrs. Smith, 2, Duke's-court, Bow-street, London," but
had no date My dear Eliza—l gratefully thank you for
what you have done for me and my poor family. When my little
ones are grown up, explain to them that the sight of their
suffering was too much for me. Perhaps when you go the
long journey whence no traveller returns, my family may do
something for them, as they have done for poor Jules (another
son who went abroad), who perhaps is no more alive by this
time. As for you, my good girl, prosper in life as you de-
serve, is the most earnest wish of Piet.." After the produc-
tion of some further evidence, the jury returned the following
verdict :—" We find a verdict of evilfhtinurder against Philaret
Horeau, as regards the death of Helvetius and Wm. Horeau,
and we find that the said I'hilaret Horeau destroyed himself
while in a state of temporary insanity, produced by extreme
privet ien and want." The inquiry lasted nearly six houre,
and the room was much crowded.
MORE RAILWAY DISTURDANCES.—The lehenrers em-
ployed on the Kendal and Windermere Railway, following
the example of the labourers on the Lancaster and Carlisle
line, at Penrith, mustered together on Saturday for the pur-
pose of expelling six Irishmen from the works. Towards
one o'clock, the English, to the number of about 120, col-
lected near Birklanda from different parts of the line, armed
with weapons of various descriptions, and, after using menac-
ing language, compelled the Irish to cease work, which they
did withcut orefing any retistance. -
It is said that some of the law officers of the City differ
from the legal opinions on which the Lord Mayor has acted In the
dispute between the Corporation and the watermen.
