by private contract, although holders are willing to snake a
further reduction in prices, common for casts being ob-
tainable at Bd, and good common at 9d per lb cash.
Pouchong, however, has been sought after, and the
supply not being large, holders have obtained some-
what better prices. For green the market has a dull
appearance, and prices are lowering for all sorts, the supply
being large. Hyson of common quality has been sold at

good demand, also for old Red Smyrna Raisins at 30a to 325,
at which large sales have been made; the principal holder is
now demanding a further advance.
SPlRlTS.—Although there are sellers of Jamaica Rum upon
rather lower terms, still no increase has taken place in the
demand : shippers and the home trade buying all descrip-
tions with caution. For Leeward Island the nicket has a
flat appearance, and prices are lowering. Calcutta has met
with little attention, and has further declined in value.
Demerara has been sparingly dealt in and prices are looking
down. No further advance has taken place in the value of
Brandy, but the demand has been active for all descriptions.

has taken place. The business transacted has been
larger than for some time; merchants manifested much
firmness. Cod has been only in limited request, and
there are sellers at 27110 s; the tendency of prices is down-
wards. Southern of all qualities is wanted, chiefly by the
home trade, but the supply at market is small at the present
time. Sperm Oil has not risen in value, but the demand
has been brisker privately. There is, however, a fair
supply of all qualities at market. The arrivals of
Fish Oil have been upon rather a more extended scale, and
several parcels are near at hand. Cocoa Nut is still much
in request, and, owirg to the small supply at market, buyers
have been compelled to pay further advanced rates. No
further advance in prices can be quoted for Palm, but the
demand has been brisk.

TA LLCM—Russianlas been much in demand on the spot,
and in consequence of the arrivals being small for the period
of the year, buyers have been compelled to pay further ad-
vanced rates, numerous purchases having been made at
43s 3d to 43s 6d for fine Petersburg yellow Candle, and at
42s 6d to 43s for old, even at which prices there are not free
sellers, as stocks in the hands of soap makers and chandlers
are small. For forward delivery a good business has been
transacted, 43s to 43s 3d paid for new for the last three
months of the year, and 43s 6d to 43s 9d for the three first
months of next year.

DEATH FROM INTOXICATION.—On Thursday an
adjourned inquiry was concluded before Mr. W. Baker,
coroner, at the White Bart, Wapping Wall, on the body
of John Hubbard Brockwell, a marine store-dealer, aged
sixty. The deceased resided in Star-street, Lower Shad-
well, and was an habitual drunkard. In consequence of
his dissipated habits his wife left him seven weeks ago,
and he has been seldom or never sober since that period.
He complained of violent pains in the heart, and said he
should never get ever the anguish caused by the absence
of his wife. She paid a visit to the house on Sunday
morning, and singularly enough found him dead in bed.
This circumstance gave rise to a suspicion that she had
improperly dealt with her husband, and a post mortem
examination was ordered. It was conducted by Dr.
Letheby, a physician, and Mr. Ross, a surgeon, who
proved that death was caused by a disease of the heart
of long standing, caused by excessive drinking. There
was a little opium found in the intestines, but not suffi-
cient to cause death.—Verdict, " Natural death."
