MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY,

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been small,
yet we had a fair average quantity on offer. Selected parcels moved
off at pull prices, but all other kinds were much neglected. The im-
ports of Foreign Wheat continue liberal. Holders of fine qualities
were firm, and would not sell, except at previous currencies. We
had a limited supply of Barley on show, still, however, the trade was
in a sluggish st..te, at late figures. The supply of Malt was not dis-
posed of, and prices were with difficulty supported. There was a
large quantity of Foreign Oats on show. Selected parcels of English
were held at full prices, but other kinds were a mere drug. Beans,
Peas, and Flour commat:ded very little attention.

gister, taken from the Royal Humane Society's Receiving

The number of bathers in the Serpentine on Monday was
not more than 300, but they increased with the heat, and on
Thursday were 1,800, and on Friday and Saturday to nearly
4,000 each day, while on Sunday they reached 7,000. The
total number during the week in the Serpentine alone was
15,700.
REPRODUCTIVE LOAN FUND INSTITUTION IN IRE-
LAND.—The second annual report of the corporation of the
Irish Reproductive Loan Fund Institution, presented to Par-
liament, was yesterday issued as a Parliamentary paper.
From the general statement, it seems that the aggregate
fund for 1845, in trust of the ten county boards of trustees
in Connaught and Munster, was 66,786/. Bs. 7id. The
doubtful debts on the 31st of December, 1845, were 1,585/.
3s. 7d., leaving the available fund in 1845, 65,2011. ss. Old.
The stated good debts on loans on the st of December
last were 58,897/. 16s. ad., and there was in hand in
savings' banks, and tunded by trustees, on the 31st of De-
cember, 1845, 6,303/. Bs. 1011€1. By the remarks it appears
that sums have been advanced contrary to the conditions
of trust. It is shown by an account with the trustees in
Ireland and the Governors of the Corporation of the Irish
Reproductive Loan Fund Institution, on the 31st of De-
cember, 1845, that three sums amounted to 67,5861.8 s 70.,
which three sums are accounted for on the credit side by
the good debts—money in savings' banks—doubtful debts,
and 8001. as balance of the late trustees for eounty Leitrim.
The report for the year 1845 bears the signature of Mr.
John Abel Smith as chairman.
WINDSOR, TUESDAY.—It is a curious fact, that durroiunz
the time the storm was raging most furiously for many
of the
Windsor, especially on the south side of it,
Great Park, also on the south side, escaped it a soWthel;. Whilst for
many miles around, the rain was pouring
altin torrents," as the
good.nslzed horse-beans, were
phrase goes, and hailstones, as largeatas loads of them might, in
rattling down in such quant—ies they had fallen—not a single
some places, be taken up an hour a.
light shower of rain, so slight as not to
—ter
hailstone, and only a very
ms
ore than couple of inches, descended
penetrate newly dug 'ro
,undx commencing at a lined rawn from Cran-
' on that portion of the
t accross the middle of Queen Anne's
bourn Lodge, from
Ride, and ending west to
,eas ,
at Hudson s.gateot the top of the Sheet-street-road
space of little more than a mile either way.
terd ay W alc ley, M.P., held an inquest at the
Yes Elephant and Castle, King's-road, Camden-town, on the body of
William Dorset, aged eight years. It appeared that on Saturday
afternoon the deceased, who resided with his parents in Cambridge-
street, Agar-town, was playing with some timber, piled up in a
grossly unsafe manlier, hi the immediate neighbourhood, when sud-
denly the upper log, several tons in weight, slipped, and fell upon the
child's head and upper pa) t of the body, crushing the poor little
fellow perfectly flat. It is needless to add that death was all but
instantakeous, and that on the removal of the log a frighttbl spec-
tacle presented itself. The coroner and jury hail some discussion as
to the question of deodand, but it being ascertained that the spot
where the occurrence took place was private property, Mr. Wakle
expressed his conviction that there would be great difculty lit en-
forcing Y
one. The jury ultimately, under the coroner's direction, re-
turned a verdict of "Accidental death."

A letter from Ems, of the 29th ult., describes the
shock of the earthquake experienced there as of a very decided and
alarming character. It took place about half-past nine o'clock in the
evening, when many families, from the early hours usually observed
there, were retiring to rest. Under the general terror it caused, there
was a general rush into the street; and at a concert which was then
going on at the principal hotel of the place, the confusion was ex-
treme, owing to the efforts of the audience to escape from the build-
big. Fortunately no serious *Jury or ions of life occurred.
