COLONIAL.

&MAlL—There has been only a limited business done in
Britith Plantation, only 300 hhds having found buyers at
previous rates. The public sales have consisted chiefly of
10,114 bags Mauritius, 3,134 bags Bengal, and 1,592 bags 30
cases Pernambuco. The greater part of which sold (except-
ing the Pernambuco), but went off very irregular from former
prices for the good and fine descriptions, whilst the low and
mid sorts must be quoted fully 6d to is 6d cheaper, the
greatest reduction being upon the very lowest
qualities : very low dark to good strong brown Mauri-
tius brought 32s to 445, low to fine yellow ditto
44s Gd to 545, and low to fine white Benares Bengal 50s to
565. The Pernambuco was chiefly taken in at 41s to 46s for
low brown to mid yellow, being rather above the value, but
subsequently have been partly sold under the bought in
prices. Privately 1,500 boxes white Havannah have been
sold at 29s 6d. The quantity of British Plantation landed
last week at the East and West India Docks was 3,646 hhds,
436 tierces, 958 barrels ; there were taken for home con-
sumption 1,292 hhds, 130 tierces, 274 barrels. The stock

(From the London New Price Current of October 6.)

SUGAIL-To-day bright yellow qualities of West India
Muscovado Sugar were in excellent request for the scale, and
merchants were enabled to obtain previous rates ; although
there was a larger quantity on offer, inferior brown and grey
kinds were purchased with more freedom, in consequence of
a further reduction in prices of 6d per cwt. having been sub-
mitted to ; but these sorts are yet abundant.
REFINED.-To-day Refined goods were sparingly dealt in
by the home trade, and there were sellers of brown grocery
lumps at 635, and standard lumps at 645. Bonded crushed
Sugar is heavy of disposal-first quality at 33s per cwt.
MAURITIUS.-This afternoon 6,107 bags were offered at
public sale, the demand was limited, and not above half sold,
but former rates were sustained, fine yellow sold at 51s 6d,
good 48s to 50s, middling 45s to 475, low 43s to 445, fine

floating cargo of 500 cheats of yellow Havannah was sold at
325, deliverable at Bristol, in bond, for home consumption.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon three parcels Bengal Sugar,
amounting to 5,357 bags, were offered at auction, and all
sold at about former rates.

tion, and 62 casks 7 barrels 16 bags Jamaica at auction were

nary 43s to 49s 6d, good ordinary 38s to 41s, low ordinary

disposed of, good ordinary pale at 38s to 395, very
good ordinary 39s to 39s 6d, bulked 37s 6d, damaged in the

TEA.-Congou has been sparingly dealt in, notwithstand-
ing the low rates that prevailed ; the trade only purchase
sufficient for their present wants, and there is a fair
supply at market of all descriptions. There are sellers
of fine blackish leaf at is 8d to 2s, fair to good is to
Is 6d, and inferior' sorts 8d to lid. In Pouchong
a good business has been done, and the supply
being small, prices rule firm ; the parcels sold were at 7d to
10d for goad to fine, and Aid to bid for inferior sorts. Of
Souchong some parcels have been disposed of, but at rather
lower rates. For Twankay the market has a dull appear-
ance, and prices are lower. Scented Caper has been pur-
chased with more freedom. For Scented Orange Pekoe
there are not many buyers.
SPICES. -This afternoon Nutmegs were only in limited re-
quest, and 6 cases 2 bags at auction sold at barely former
rates-good middling brown Penang at 3s 3d, middling 3s
ld, mouldy 2s 10(1, wormy, Is 3d. Pimento was much in-

cases of Cinnamon were withdrawn.
RicE.,-This afternoon East India Rice was less asked for,
and at public sale 20 bags sold at 20s for good white Bengal,
which is the former value. 558 bags East India Paddy were
taken in at 12s 6d to 14s for good quality.
RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDB.-The arrivals of West
India Rum have been very large during the past week, and
of East India a fair quantity has been received. Holders
of Jamaica have been desirous to realise, but submitting
to a reduction on former rates of 2d to 3d per gallon,
occasioned an extensive business to be transacted
in all qualities, the quantity sold amounting to
800 puncheons. Calcutta has been purchased with
avidity, and better prices have been obtained: the quantity
sold has amounted to the large number of 1,400 casks.
Madras in small parcels sold at la 9d to is 9id proof. Deme-
rara is little wanted, and prices are lower, 3s to 3s 2d being
taken for limited quantities of strong. Leeward Islai.d is
not offered at any further reduction, but only a
limited business has been transacted at 2s 2d to
2s 3d proof strength. The deliveries of Rum for home
consumption, and exportation are smaller than they
were last year, and the stock is less, whilst prices
are higher for all sorts, but the dealers are only moderately
supplied. Brandy is not to be had upon lower terms, as the
deliveries are yet exceeding the arrivals, but only a limited
business has been transacted by either exporters or the home
trade. In Geneva several sales for exportation have been
made. In Corn Spirits an extensive business has been done,
speculators are operating. In English Gin a good business
has been transacted. To-day at public sale 20 hhds o
Madras Rum were taken in at 2s 6d per gallon.
Hors.-The demand has been less active, and having a
large quantity at market, there are sellers rather under pre-
vious rates, New Mid Kent pockets being obtainable at
5/ 14s to 61 15s, Weald of Kent 41 l2s to 51 ss, Sussex
pockets 412 s to 4/ 14s per cwt. The Duty for the Kingdom
is backed at 200,0001 to 220,000 L At the Worcester market
a good business has been done in Hops, but in some cases
prices have slightly given way.
INDIGO.-The quarterly sales of East India commenced to-
day, and were the largest ever known, the quantity advertised
reaching 21,393 chests, of which 13,000 were i
importers' hands, and 8,000 chests second-hand goods;
several parcels have not been examined by the
trade, owing to the want of time. Before the open-
ing and during the progress of the sale 1,310 chests
were withdrawn. 914 chests have passed the hammer this
day. We do not remember so small an attendance of foreign
and home buyers, and se uneven and flat a sale.
COCHINEAL.-The better qualities are still wanted, and
fetch full prices, but itt inferior of which there is yet a large
supply further declined in value ld to 21b per lb; at auction
101 bags were sold.

FRuii.—ln New Fatras Currants the demand has been
active, and prices are firm. In New Valentia Raisins there
has been an extensive business doing, and the price has
risen to 455, notwithstanding the numerous arrivals The
arrivals of new Muscatels have been very considerable, and
extensive sales made, the price being very low.
Cocoa.--The demand has fallen off for West India, and
the market having been more liberally supplied, a decline in
prices of is to 2s per cwt has taken place. Foreign has met
with little attention, and 243 bags Bahia at auction were
taken in at 32s 6d to 33s for good middling red, 33s 6d to 34s
for good, and at 31s for country damaged.
SAGO is wanted, but at present no advance in the value
has taken place; Sago flour is held for 16s to 17s, but there
are at present not many buyers to be met with. For Tapioca
prices remain low, and the supply yet exceeds the demand.
Ous.—lmporters of Cod Oil are desirous to realise, as the
stock is on the increase, but they accepting 261. 108. to
271. per tun, occasioned a good business to be trans-
acted by the home trade. For Seal the market has
an improving appearance, large purchases have been
made, and the rates paid exhibit an advance on those pre-
viously current for all descriptions; holders manifest much
firmness. All qualities of Southern are wanted, chiefly for
home consumption, but no further advance in the value has
taken place, although the supply at market is small. Holders
of Sperm are inclined to realise, as there is a fair stock here,
and they accept 771 to 78/for good to fine, and 751 lOs to 76/
lOs for fair to mid quality ; at these rates a good business has
be transacted. Of Fish Oils none have again been brought
to public sale; but several parcels have arrived since this day
week; the deliveries are, however, going on satisfactorily, and
all kinds are yet cheaper than they were last season. Lin-
seed Oil has been in excellent request on the spot by the home
trade ; but the crushers are more inclined to realise, in
consequence of the increasing supply, and they accept 25s
per cwt. For forward delivery several contracts have been
entered into at 25s 3d to 25s 6d per cwt., but for exportation
the demand his become limited. In Rapeseed Oil many
purchases have been made, and prices are firm. Of Cocoa
Nut Oil the quantity at market is not sufficient for the de-
mand, and prices are rising. In Palm a good deal has been
done, and at firm prices. Olive has been largely dealt in.
Lard Oil is wanted, and prices are firmer.
Tar.Low.—Prices have further advanced considerably for
Russian on the spot, the town and country demand having
been extensive, and arrivals continuing to be small; indeed,
the stock has nearly all passed into second hands, both of
new and old; the rates given have been 46s to 46s 6d for the
former, of first quality, and 45s 6d per cwt for the
latter; even at these high prices there are not
free sellers, as the supply and stock is much less than it
was last year For forward delivery a good deal has been dine
and at advanced rates. Home-made met with eager buyers,
and prices are rising, 44s having been paid nett cash; but
there is still a good supply; the consumption is, however,
very large, this being yet the cheapest sort of tallow. All
other sorts have met with much attention, and brought higher
prices, the supply being still small.
TURFENTINE.—Prices continue rapidly to advance; the
supply being small, and the demand extensive. For Spirits
the latest rates paid have been 58s to 60s. Of Rough the
market has been nearly cleared at higher prices. Tar is
much wanted, but not much is to be had.

RUNNING MATCH.--On Wandsworth-common was
decided on Monday the match between the celebrated run-
ner and walker, Chas. Westhall, of London, and Brook-
son, of Garratt. The distance was half a mile, Westhall
giving Brookson ten yards start, and the amount of the
stakes was 201. The odds were in favour of Westhall,
whose easy victories over some of the fastest runners in
England, although at short distances, gave him a de-
cided advantage, in the estimation or sporting men, over
Brookson, who is comparatively a novice. In the first
quarter of a mile Westhall had gained the ten yards'
start which he gave, and was by the side of Brookson,
apparently winning easy. Both exerted themselves to
gain a lead, but struggled nearly side by side until about
150 yards from home, when Westhall evidently ran wild
'and unsteady, as did also his opponent, who, however,
landed himself first by two yards.

NUMEROUS- -AND FATAL ACCI-

DENTS.
On Monday several accidents occurred, which, from the
serious nature of the injuries sustained, will, in all pro-
bability, terminate in loss of life. The first occurred to
a man named William Smith, aged twenty-nine years,
residing at No. 28, Upper Marsh, Lambeth, and a youth,
named John Wood, aged sixteen years, living in the
same neighbourhood. They were employed in painting
the front of a mansion at Balham-hill, Surrey, and whilst
so engaged the man Smith, who was standing on the top
of a ladder, missed his footing, and fell to the ground
with great violence, and in his descent some portion of
the scaffolding fell upon the youth. The former was
raised up, and was found to have received a fracture of
the right leg and severe internal injury, together with
fractured ribs. The other person was likewise most se-
riously injured, several ribs were fractured, and his body
much contused. They were removed to St. Thomas's
Hospital.—Another accident happened to a man named
John Trassall, aged forty-six, of Cherr,y-garden-street,
Rotherhithe. He was ostler at the Golden Ball Inn,
Bermondsey New-road, and while carrying a pail of
water from the yard to the front part of the house, he
slipped and fell down a flight of steps, whereby he sus-
tained a compound fracture of the left leg.—The third
accident occurred to William Frost, aged forty years, of
Friday-street, Cheapside. He was a carpenter, and
while engaged with several men in altering a shop front
in Watling-street, he fell off the cross planks placed be-
tween two ladders into the carriage way. When raised
from the ground he was found to have received a frac-
ture of the left leg and conbpsions. He was carried to
Guy's Hospital.—Another accident took place to a young
man named Frederick Belcher, aged twenty years. He
was in the employ of Mr. /ones, tallow-melter, &c.,
Kent-street, Borough, and while turning the handle of a
crane, it slipped from his grasp, and inflicted a frightful
wound on the scalp of great length. He was conveyed
to Guy's Hospital.—lnto the same hospital was carried
a man named John Whitehead, aged thirty-five years, of
Green Dragon-court, Tooley- street. He was assisting
in one of the hop warehouses in St. Saviour's Dock,
when one of the pockets fell from one of the loop-holes
and severely injured the spinal cord and other parts of
his body.—About seven o'clock on Mondayevening a boy
named E. Cooper, aged ten years, whose parents reside in
Isabella-street, Waterloo-road, was crossing the carriage
way facing St. George's Church, Southwark, when he
was knocked down by a cab, and before the driver had
time to stop the horse, the near wheel passed over his
body. He was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where
it was ascertained that he had received serious internal
injury.

DREADFUL MINE EXPLOSION.
THREE LIVES LOST.
On the morning of Saturday last the inhabitants of
West Bromwich were thrown into a state of great excite-
ment by the report that an explosion of sulphur had taken
place in one of the coal-pits of the late Mr. Horton, at
Lyttleton Hall. Great crowds of persons immediately
proceeded to the mouth of the pit, which is situated
about half a mile from West Bromwich, on the Old!pry
road. On arriving at the spot, it was found that the
rumour was but too well founded. The most intense
anxiety was entertained by the friends and relatives of
the miners in the pit, a great many of whom had de-
scended but a few minutes previously, aggravated by the
circumstance of the rush of air consequent on the ex-
plosion having forced two hats belonging to some of the
unfortunate men up the shaft of the pit, and to several
hundred yards' distance. Their fears for the safety of
the miners were unfortunately realised; and the whole
circumstances connected with the melancholy catastrophe
were speedily ascertained. It appears that Mr. John
Baylis, the " doggy," or manager of the pit, had gone
down, as usual, with the miners, to the number of
twenty-four men and boys. As was customary, he
tried the workings with the safety lamp; and in the first
side of the work he discovered an accumulation of sul-
phur. He set the colliers to disperse it, and shortly after
went to the other side of the work to ascertain whether
any sulphur had been forced into it out of the first. In
about ten minutes after the explosion took place. It is
impossible to tell how it occurred; but the probability is,
that it was through the carelessness or negligence of
some of the colliers, who are always anxious to get to
work as soon as the sulphur is dispersed, taking a lighted
candle into the workings—the reckless individual pro-
bably paying the penalty of his imprudence with his life.
Its effects were very afflicting. Seven of the unfortunate
men who were engaged dispersing the sulphur were
dreadfully burned, their bodies in some parts being
literally roasted by the flame and blackened by the
clouds of vapour. Suspended in the skip, about eighty
3 ards down the shaft, which is sunk to the depth of
three hundred yards, were John Robinson, the engineer,
and William Hadley, a workman engaged in repairing
the shaft when the explosion took place. The hot air,
which rushed up the shaft with irresistable violence,
carried the skip and the men for some distance upward,
when it became unhooked from the rope to which it was
attached, and these two unfortunate persons were pre-
cipitated to the bottom of the pit, a depth of nearly 800
feet. They were awfully mutilated; and, in their blackened,
shattered, and mangled remains, it would have been diffi-
cult even to trace the outline of humanity. Their remains,
as soon as possible, were gathered up and removed ;
and the sufferers by the burning were conveyed home.
A lad named Joshua Cash, about seventeen years of
age, was dreadfully scorched. He had been at the
bottom of the pit at the time, and was completely en-
veloped in flames. Mr. Baylis fortunately observed his
condition, ran to his assistance, and succeeded in extin-
guishing the burniug clothing, which hung about his body.
He was carried home, but his injuries were of such a
nature as to preclude all hope of recovery, and after
enduring intense agony, death terminated his sufferings
on Tuesday forenoon. The other men were also at-
tended to with the least possible delay. Their names
are John Watson, John Smith, Peter Brown, Levi
Fletcher, John Wilkinson, and James Waliett. With
the exception of Watson, who lies in a very dangerous
state, hopes are entertained of their ultimate recovery.
What adds to the poignancy of the infliction, is the cir-
cumstance that, with the exception of Wallett, they are
all married men, having families. On Monday an in-
quest was held at the Star ana Garter, West Bromwich,
beore George Hinchliffe, Esq., on the bodies of Hadley
and Robinson. All the evidence went to show that there
was no criminal negligence on the part of the managers
of the pit, and that the dreadful occurrence which had
deprived these men of life had been purely the result of
accident. A verdict to that effect was accordingly re-
turned. An inquest was also held on the body of Cash,
at the Rising Sun, West Bromwich, before Mr. Hinch,
liffe, when a precisely similar verdict was returned.,
Birmingham Journal.

LEAPING OFF A TRAIN.—A case was heard before
the magistrates on Saturday of much importance to all
travellers on railways. On the 17th ult. a passenger
booked from Allonby to Dalston, on the Maryport and
Carlisle line, but instead of alighting at that station, re-
mained upon the step of the carriage until the train
reached the holme near Cummersdale, when, while it
was in motion, leaped off 1 The engine was stopped, and
the young man picked up insensible, but he soon reco-
vered, and was found to have escaped with a scratch on
the face and a " shake." The train was delayed, in con-
sequence of the foolhardy "lark," and Mr. T. C. Hey-
sham, one of the directors of the company, hearing of
the circumstance, determined upon making an example
of the offender. The law awards a penalty not exceed-
ing 20s. to any one who shall ride in a railway carriage
without paying the usual fare, or without procuring a
ticket, and the passenger, tot having booked at Dalston,
rendered himself liable to conviction under this clause.
He pleaded guilty, and on the recommendation of the
directors, who wished to bring the case forward as a
caution to the public, the magistrates fined him is. and
costs.

DESTITUTION IN THE HIGHLANDS.--At Inverary,
on Wednesday last, the 30th ult., a meeting was held of
the county of Argyll, to take into consideration the pre-
sent critical state of the poor and labouring population,
in consequence of the failure of the potato crop. The
Marquis of Breadalbane was called to the chair. His
Lordship, after alluding to the bleak prospects before
the poorer classes, stated as his opinion that the proprie-
tors of land must in a great measure provide for the
exigency which had arisen; and until each of them in
the county had done his utmost to meet the urgency of
the case, they would only go to Government with little
chance of success. The present was, therefore, empha-
tically the time to commence improvements on their
property, and thus afford employment to the poor. The
Marquis of Lorne said the proprietors of Argyll would
not shirk the obligations which lay on them to attend to
the welfare of those on their estates. At the same time,
considering that the pressure would not fall equally on
all the proprietors, he did think they had grounds to call
the attention of Government to the question, with the
view of asking its assistance towards two or three im-
portant objects. Two of these were emigration and the
encouragement of the fisheries; and, as to the third, he
thought the attention of the Executive should be espe-
cially called to it. This was the providing a supply of
food for those who were able and willing to purchase it,
thereby affording the same justice and favour to the
people of the Highlands of Scotland—who, although less
unruly, were suffering as much from destitution—as to
the people of Ireland. A committee was then appointed
to draw out resolutions to meet the case; when, after a
brief delay, a string of resolutions was unanimously
agreed to, and a committee appointed to carrythem into
effect. The meeting then broke up.
DAVIS' STRAITS FlSHERY.—Advices . have been
received by the cod-fishing vessel Diligence, Captain
Straiten, from Captain Harrison, of the Lady Jane
whaler, belonging to Newcastle, dated August 14, stating
that the fishery has been an unsuccessful one, and giving
the following account of the ships :—Newcastle--Lady
Jane, 3 fish. Hull—Abram, 3 fish ; Truelove, 2 ditto ;
Princess of Wales, 2 ditto ; Lord Gambier, I ditto.
Boness—Alfred, 2 fish. Kirkcaldy—Chieftain, 2 fish ;
Caledonia, 2 ditto ; Regalia, clean. Dundee—Horn,
6 fish ; Princess Charlotte, 4 ditto ; Advice, 4 ditto ;
Alexander, 3 ditto. Aberdeen—St. Andrew, 3 fish ;
Pacific, 3 ditto. Peterhead—Traveller, 1 fish ; Joseph
Green, 1 ditto ; Resolution, clean ; Superior, ditto.

THE SALT MONOPOLY.—As illustrative of the
operations of the salt monopoly, it may be stated that
the cost of a cargo of salt in Liverpool is fifteen shil-
lings per ton. On this small sum the impost levied
by the East India Company is 81. 3s. 6d.—Liverpool

in London, the yearly election of Mayor
Is counted a very important affair;
PPort him right hearty,
Each man has his friends who au

But party is out of the question with us ;
We have nothing to do with the candidates thus.
We don't have a wish ('tisn't right that we should)
To meddle with Carroll, or Hooper, or Wood.
In fact, this selection of subject is made
With a view just to hint at the Lord Mayor of Trade,
'Tis MOSES, in this sense, that's Mayor of the City ;
Let's sing him a " Car-r-of-1," let's sing him a ditty.
While Lord Mayors in general only appear
As " Majesties" during the space of a year,
The Lord Mayor of Tra se, through the fame he has earn'd,
Is year after year to his office retuned.
When MOSES solicits the public support

BRTO THE INDEPENDENT LIVERY OF LONDON.
OTHER LIVERYMEN,—I have now the
Pleasure to thank you for supporting the show of hands on
Michaelmas day.
The two who were then nominated you have triumphantly chosen,
although a poll was demanded, expressly to test your confidence in
that return. To the result I advert with great satisfaction ; the nu-
merical difference merely creates a nominal distinction without
Weakening the force of your choice.
Many unfounded aspersions were cast upon me at the last moment,
at a time when contradiction was impossible; yet even on the hust-
ings I received spontaneously that evidence which completely esta-
bltshes the fact that the writer of the anonymous letter, signed
" Truth," asserted a gross falsehood.
To such misrepresentations I attribute the loss of some support, or
I might have stood higher on the poll. Another instance proving
how sednlously malignant have been the attacks on me.
Mr. Anderton's placard, with respect to the non-payment of the
Irish Society's Fees to Counsel, has been contradicted by the gent le-
mon who made the payments, M a declaration taken by the Lord
Mayor.
Between Sir George Carroll and myself there has been no contest.
The contest has been with the persons demanding a poll. Thus
leaving upon the point truly In issue a majority of 1321 in my favour
—a position which I have reason to be proud of, but more so—to
be grateful.
It was your general support of the accused —it was your manly
and hearty determination to aid the oppressed—and grateful indeed
am I that you have justified the opinion which has been made to you,
as it assures me that you are not unmindful of services faithfully
performed. _ _ _

Brother Liverymen,
I remain your faithful Servant,
THOS. WOOD.
