TIIE SUN LONDON, MONDAY

'unusually large number for a sailing vessel of limited dimer.-
eons, arrived in good condition and perfect safety.
The General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Att-
wood, from Schiedam, specially dispatched for the purpose,
brought 49 cows, 26 oxen, 3 bulls, and 370 sheep to the same
wharf, also the produce of Holland ; and the Giraffe steam-
ship, arrived later still from Rotterdam, brought nearly 4,000
cheeses, 400 packages of butter, 21 of poultry, 26 cows, 16
oxen, 160 packages of yeast, 380 of fish, and ether articles,
the produce of the same country.
The Company's steam-ships Belfast, from Calais; Harle-
quin, from Boulogne; and Wilberforce, from Havre, since
arrived, have brought large supplies of poultry, fruit, &c.
And the Augusta, a sailing vessel frompravelines, 87 pack-
ages of eggs, 100 of apples, tee., the produce of France ; and
two vessels arrived from Trieste, having on board conjointly,
2,254 bushels of wheat, 330 of peas, and 328 of beans, of
Austrian produce.
In closing the list of the enumerations of importations of
articles of food up to the present time, we may state that the
assertion which we advanced at the commencement of this
article, of the extent of the arrivals which have taken place,
has been fully borne out. The arrivals have evidently been
of a very extensive nature, and we are indebted to our con-
tinental neighbours for a continued and unceasing supply of
articles of general consumption.
It is not necessary to eater further into particulars with
respect to the several importations, as a glance at them will
show their extent, and the importance of the several coun-
tries in the matter, according to the amount and nature of
the supplies. We may, however, mention that since Chyist-
mas pouttry has been remarkably cheap in the metropolis,
and in consequence of the extensive arrivals from France,
Belgium, &c., turkeys of excellent quality and large size
have been obtainable in the markets at a very moderate
price.. -
We may be thankful that the weather has been and con-
tinues so mild, for, in addition to the vast importance of such
a state of things to the poor, no mean consideration in the
general estimation of matters, and the consequent total
absence of any stoppage of out-door manual emp!oyment, we
should not, had it been otherwise, and which was much
dreided at this time of assumed scarcity of provisions gene-
rally, have been supplied with so extensive a variety and
quantity of every kind of food from abroad as has been the
CAM

AGRICULTURAL MEETING AT
BRIDGEWATER.

- -
A large concourse of protectionists assembled on Friday, at
the Clarence Hotel, Bridgewater, for the purpose of discussing
the merits of the present taxation upon corn, and an excellent
dinner into the bargain.
Mr. Miles, M.P., presided on the occasion ; and after the
usual loyal and popular toasts had been given, a long array of
orators addressed the meeting in succession.
The Rev. Mr. Tnßlxcs maintained that on the abolition of
the duties in question "it was impossible the taxes could
be paid, and what then would become of public credit ?"
Mr. SEALEY, the Mayor, felt satisfied that the assembly
which he addressed " must have an influence throughout the
country."

TheCryan:max declared that the League were raising an
opposition power, which would ultimately defeat both them-
selves and Mr. Cobden ; and, after some similar observations
from Lord Waldegrave, Mr. Moody, and Mr. Popham, the
dinner terminated to the sathfaction of all present.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF J. UNWIN, 'ESQ., OF
BREMMINGTON HALL.—The exceedingly romantic but retired
village of Bremmington, about two miles north of Chester-
field, has, since Saturday last, been the scene of great excite-
ment, in consequence of a most fatal accident which occurred
to James Wheeler Unwin, Esq., of Bremmington: Hall, a
gentleman of independent fortune, the son of the Rev. Mr.
Unwin, of St. Aukmands, Derby. The deceased was pas-
sionately fond of hunting, and was remarkable for riding
high-spirited horses, and thought no price sufficiently remu
nerative for what he termed a magnificent hunter. On
Saturday afternoon Mr. Unwin, who had been to Chester-
field market, was returning home, and was riding ,a high-
spirited black horse, and which, in censequence of horse
having been ill, had not been ridden for two months.' When
Mr. Unwin had proceeded about .a mile from Chesterfield, the
horse took fright, and Mr. Unwin, who was riding at the
time in a very careless manner, with an exceedingly loose
rein, was thrown to the ground with such violence that his
skull was fractured, and he was taken up in a state of insen-
sibility, and conveyed to his residence in a cart, where he ex-
pired on Wednesday morning last. An inquest was held on
the body on Thursday, when the jury returned a verdict of—
Accith ntal Death.
SUICIDE INDUCED BY A FALSE ACCUSATION.—
On Friday, Mr. Payne, City coroner, held an inquest at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital, on the body of Mary Day, aged 26,
late a servant to Mr. Goodge, surgeon, of 105,-Cheapside.
Leopold Coben said that the deceased had been in the same
employ as witness for a period of three weeks. On Saturday
last she told witness that she was going to leave her situatio.
in consequence of a female named Hannah Snowswell having
told her mistress that she (the deceased) had been the worse
for liquor on two occasions. The allegation was stoutly de-
nied by the deceased. Mrs. Goodge gave the deceased warn-
ing to leave her service, and said sin: should not like to have
her in the house any longer, as she did not considerit safe.
Witness never saw the deceased the worse for drink, and
never suspected her of being so, but he thought her mind
affected. Elizabeth Marsh, of 40, Turnmill- street, said that
the deceased complained of being unwell on Wednesday last
She then went out, saying at the time that she was going to
purchase an ounce of Epsom salts. She returned shortly
afterwards, and after mixing something in a cup, swallowed
the mixture. She then took up a novel and started off, say-
ing that.she was going to her mother's. Witness never saw
her afterwards. Police-sergeant Haines found deceased in
company with another female on Wednesday night last; she
then said she had taken poison, and was dying. Witness
took her to the above hospital with all expedition. Mr. P. J.
Hurlock, senior medical officer of the hospital, said that de-
ceased, when admitted, was quite dead. He had: since
'examined-the Stomach, which was extensively inflamed, no
doubt caused by oxalic acid. Verdict," Temporary insanity."
-THE ROYAL STAGHOUNDS.—A field of upwards of
two hundred, including his Royal Highness Prince George
of Cambridge, the Earl- of Rossyln, Mr. George Wombwell,
Captain Seymour, and a sprinkling of military officers, were
at the meet on Friday morning at Stoke-common. The
turn-out was delayed until between twelve and one o'clock
on account of the heavy- fog which prevailed during the
earlier part of the day.. Upon the deer (Tom Thumb) being
uncarted in Farnham-lane, it took away to Two-mile Brook,
on to Burnham, crossing the Great Western Railway, to the
Mile House, on the Bath-road, down to Mr. Pocock's farm,
crossing the Thames at Bray. The hounds were taken over
Maidenhead-bridge into Berks, and laid on between Maiden-
head and Braywick ; Tom Thumb making away through
Mr. Briggenshaw's farm to White Waltham, and thence to
Laurence Waltham, where the deer was run into and
secured, after a good run, from first to last, of an hour anti
forty minutes. Prince George of Cambridge and a goodly
number were up at the finish. The meet on Monday will
be at Winkfield-row, and on Friday at Maidenhead. Wed-
nesday will be a by-day. The fixture has not yet been de-
termined upon.
HOUSE ROBBERY BY A SERYANT.—WeCIEESIIy
morning, on the return of Mr. Hardland to his residence, in
Seymour-street, Somers-town, from Brighton, he was unable
to gain admittance into his house, and; after waiting a con-
eideiable time, he at length effected an entrance ry climbing
over the garden wall of the adjoining house, and with a lad-
der got in at the first floor window, when he discovered that
the female servant, Mary Halls, whom he had left in charge,
had absconded, after completely stripping the place of every
portable article, including plate, wearing apparel, jewellery,
&c., and a valuable Turkey carpet that was in the drawing-
room. She had not been seen by any of the neighbours for
three days past.

SALE OF A CHURCH.—On Thursday, at one o'clock,
the ancient internal fittings of the Church of St. Benet Fink,
in Threadneedle-street which was erected from a design by
Sir Christopher Wren, were disposed of by auction, by Mr.
Pullon, the auctioneer, for the purpose of being removed, it
being intended to takedown the structure, in order to widen
the approaches to the New Royal Exchange. During the
previous day the sacred building was visited by hundreds of
persons, and yesterday the sale was most numerously at-
tended, there ,being present several gentlemen connected
with public institutions, among whom prevailed a most ac-
tive competition for various lots, many of which realised a
price much beyond their actual value, from the circumstance
that they were works of art of the above celebrated and
eminent architect. Lot 12, the carved oak poor-box, with
lock, &c. (date on the lock 1683), fetched 4 guineas, and
was bought by one of the City companies. No. 17, the
carved and panelled oak pulpit, with sounding-board, &c.,
the whole richly ornamented with fine carving, went for 15
guineas, intended for a church in Buckinghamshire. Lots
18, 19, 20, 21, arid 22—a valuable painting of " Moses bear-
ing the tables," with gold mouldings • a ditto of" Aaron the
Priest ;" the carved and pannelled oak fittings of the altar,
ornamented with gold mouldings and carved Corinthian
columns; two tablets, with inscriptions in gold; the marble
door of the altar, &c.—were purchased by one of the Royal
Hospitals for 50/. The greater part of the pannelled oak
inclosure of the pews was bought by a clergyman for a church
at Ramsgate. There were about 4,000 feet of oak pewing,
the whole of the carved oak front of the gallery. the bell (20
inches over), &c., cold, and which were knocked down at
good prices ; the entire of which is to be removed in a few
days. The sepulchral tablets have been removed &cm the
church to that of St. Peter le Poer, which is in union with
St. Benet Fink. The remains of those deposited in the
vaults under the church will be interred in the huriai-ground
adjoining, which will not be interfered with ill the intended
improvement.
