HUNGERFORD MARKET.—This morning the
moment the clock of St. Martin's Church struck five, the
wholesale fish market opened for the first time since the com-
pletion of this noble establishment, which is replete with every
accommodation, convenience, and comfort, for the carrying on
a large trade in fish to supply the west-end of this immense
metropolis and the suburbs, with this delicious and wholesome
luxury. Fishing boats had arrived during the night with live
turbot, soles, salmon, haddock, John Dories, eels, crabs,
lobsters, whiting, and in fact every variety of fish ; the con-
servators of the market, having entered into regular contracts
with the proprietors of fishing boats, in Holland, in Scotland,
and in Ireland, exclusively for this market. The throng of
purchasers was immense. We never saw Billingsgate more
crowded, but the ingress and egress to the market, occasioned
by the number of approaches to it, prevented the slightest con-
fusion. The fishermen made a grand exhibition of their stock,
and the west-end dealers seemed pleased with their ample p4r-
chases. This noble market, suited to every purpose, will now be
brought fairly into play, and as a great public benefit, at the
same time breaking up a scandalous monopoly, we sincerely
wish it success. The market itself has been denominated a
it
giant asleep. The bustle and activity in all quarters ofthis
morning has destroyed the allusion. We hear that a capital of
60,0001. is absolutely invested for the regular and constant
supply of fish.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE..--011 Saturday, as
Ann Start, a servant of Mr. Tory, linen-draper, High-street,
Exeter, was engaged in cleaning a window in the third story,
the wood-work gave way, and she fell forward with it. She
first struck against the lead-work of a window on the second
floor, then against two open casements on the first floor, next
on a latticed sky-light, which was demolished, and thence into
the courtlage of the house, the total height being upwards of
36 feet. She was taken up senseless, but in half-an-hour had
so far revived, that she was enabled to walk into her master's
house ; no bones were broken, nor were the :bruises of any
great importance.—Bristol Mercury.
THE HARVEST.—The harvest commenced in se-
veral places yesterday, and, with the exception of the Barley,
promises a very abundant crop. The Wheats, in particular,
are very fine and forward. In a few days it will become ge-
neral.--Northampton Free Press.

HARVEST.—In several places in this neighbour-
hood the harvest has already commenced ; and from the pre-
sent auspicious weather, it will no doubt very soon become go..
neral. Wheat has been reaped in the parishes of Instow and
Westleigh.—Cornwall Gazette.

A sword fish, the Xiphias Gladius of Linnoeus, sup-
posed to be nearly 300 pounds weight, was caught in the river
Parrett, near Bridgwater, on Sunday last. This fish is found
in the Mediterranean and other seas, and is esteemed a high
delicacy and greatly prized by the Sicilians. The body is
long and rounded, the upper jaw is extremely long, terminat-
ing in a sharp point, something like a sword, whence its name,
but the under one is considerably shorter. It has a pair of
fins just above the gills, but no abdominal ones ; the dorsal
fin runs nearly the whole length of the body, and the tail is
forked something like a crescent. There is a representation
of this fish in Pennant's British Zoology, plate No. 68.
Bath Herald.

On Wednesday last four highly respectable inha-
bitants of this town, whose united ages amounted to two hun-
dred and ninety-three years, went to the top of King's Col-
lege Chapel. They performed the task with comparative
ease, and much enjoyed the splendid view from this lofty sum-
mit, the weather being remarkably fine.— Cambridge Chronicle.
An accident of a painful nature occurred to George
Courtenay, Esq., on board his yacht, the Dolphin, on Tuesday,
at Cove. The hawser had accidentally encircled one of his
legs near the ancle, and having received a sudden drag, it cut
through to the bone, tearing the flesh in a most frightful
manner. The agony which Mr. Courtenay suffered was in-
tense, but we hope the injury will hot be serious..—Limerick
Chronicle.

Mr. GILLON presented a petition from the Mercbants •
and Bankers of Lanark, in favour of the Scotch BankruPtel,

the claims of Dissenters--one who would keep them in tin?'
present degraded state—the other who would consent to -114
move their disabilities, but would not allow the "fabric of 11'
Church to be touched. From the first they 1444 nothing tl

troduced a measure with which he had nothing of all to
After a few words from Mr. A. JOHNSTONE, the peaty"-
were laid on the table.

Sir A. AGNEW had several petitions to present 11`;,,
Cromartie, Brecon, Linlithgow, Peumuir, Paisley, K°
Kilbraccan, Glasgow, and other places in Scotland, in•face,
of the Scotch Sabbath Bill. In consequence of what nuo.,
taken place in that House on Saturday morning, the fl°tbo
Baronet intimated that it was not his intention to press
Scotch Sabbath Observance Bill this Session.
Mr. A. JOHNSTONE deeply regretted the deterrninalt
to which the Hon. Bart. had come, but thought he could.%
have acted otherwise after the manner in which the other n,,
introduced by the Hon. Bart., for the same purpose, had r
treated.
Mr. HAWES presented 'a petition from Battersea, .agshlsV
the Common Fields' Inclosure Bill.
After a few words from Mr. BRISCOE, and Mr. Tverts°*
against the principle of the Bill,
Mr. E WART said, as the representatite of a largo tell'
he must protest against the principle of the Bill being
„i.e!..
tended to the large towns of England. If any of his 1117;
jesty's Ministers were present, he should take that °ppm-to-11'Z
of inquiring why the Regent's Park was not thrown open

h
the county of Buckingham, in support of the Clan'
and similar petitions from parishes in the county of Somerset;
also petitions from Chiffing Camden, upon the subject of ag",;,
cultural distress and from Twyford and other places in tt'l
county of Buckingham, to the satne effect, and similar Peg";
tions from the counties of Somerset and Hampshire. - t
could not help expressing his sorrow and dismay at the presej:e
session being allowed to close without something being d°-0 •
for the agriculturists. It was ridiculous to suppose that to
taking off the tax upon Shepherds' dogs ',was a relief W t
agricultural interest.
Mr. HAWES would like to know what the agriculture
really. desired. Why did not the Noble Marquis introduce
practical motion upon the subject.
Mr. F. O'CONNOR said that the House ought to re-ts
lect that they had refused to allow the Noble Marquis blO
submit a practical motion upon this subject. That 1"1
Lord (Chandos) had moved for a Committee of Inquiry, .
it was refused.
fro° Mr. E WART said that agricultural distress arose Ai
rents being too high ; the landlords, therefore, were the cw'
parties that could give relief.
Mr. SINCLAIR said he feared that House was call/
IJr away too much by the delusions of political economists. 2..
less something was done for the agricultural interest, the cow:
try would be involved in ruin and convulsion. tke
Mr. COBBETT said that the practical measures for
relief of the farmer had been introduced into that house, v
thrown out. What was the motion for the repeal of the 111:',-d '
tax but a practical measure, yet the Hon. Member for L'
beth voted against it. It was admitted on all hands, „*";
thata.;
ricultural distress existed from one end of the land to the other',
was it then unreasonable to submit some measure connect
with it to the House.
Mr. G. WOOD would ask the Hon. Member' for Garth.
ness (Mr. Sinclair), whether the Corn Laws were °o,‘
ing to political economists ?—( Hear, hear.) The *K.
cultural interest already possessed a monopoly of 'of
markets, and he did not know what further could be done
them.
Mr. ATT WOOD said that the present distress of agree w is 3;
ture arose from the alteration of the currency, whit o ;00, _
a most enormous fraud on the part of the political econo,9ltost
The Marquis of CHANDOS replied, and the peui/
were then laid on the table.
