APPALLING SUICIDE BY A SER-
GEANT OF THE EIGHTY-SECOND FOOT.
An intense sensation of horror was created through-
out this town, on the afternoon of Friday last, by the in-
telligence that a sergeant of the S2d Regiment of Foot had
wilfully blo An out his brains with a musket, in the military
iufirmery or hospital at John's Town. Upon inquiry the
information was ascertained to be too correct, and it tran-
spired that the unfortunate man, whose name was Ro-
bert Dodd, had been sent to the infirmary on the 7th of
May instant, having been for some time past suffering
from delirium tremens. He continued in a dreadfully
excited state until within two or three days of the com-
mission of the fatal act, when he appeared to have im-
proved, so considerably as no longer to require careful
watching. The company to which he belonged being about
to embark for Pater, it was deemed proper that such
of the patients as were able to carry their arms and
ammunition to the place of embarkation, should do
so; and, accordingly, several firelocks and cartouch-
boxes were on Thursday and Friday transferred from
the barracks to the infirmary, where they were depo-
sited in a small store-room opening into the
passage, which was locked, and the key placed on a
shelf above the door. The deceased was sitting in the
kitchen, in company with another patient, about half-
past three o'clock in the afternoon, when he suddenly
rose, and, without speaking a word went into the
passage. His companion, almost immediately after-
wards, heard a rustling or rattling noise, as if some
one was moving the firelocks, and was pro-
ceeding to ascertain the cause, when he heard the dis-
charge of a shot, and on opening the door of the store-
room found that deceased had blown his brains out by
introducing the muzzle of a musket (which he must him-
self have loaded) into his mouth, and discharging the
trigger with the butt end of his ramrod. The body pre-
sented a frightful spectacle, the whole of the right aide of
the skull being blown away by the bullet, and a portion
of the scalp having been severed and attached by the
force of the explosion to the ceiling above.
It appeared from the evidence adduced at the inquest,
that the unfortunate man had akw days previously
attempted to cut his throat in the presence of some of
the other patients, who, very culpably, neglected to
report the circumstance to their superior officers or the
medical attendant. Had they don© so there can
be no doubt that proper precautionary measures would
have been adopted, and the poor fellow's life saved.
This will appear of the greater importance, when it is
stated that he leaves a widow and child to lament his
loss, and he had only to serve about four months to en-
title him to retirement upon the full sergeant's pension.

prices had an upward tendency. The transactions were as
follow : - Great Western, 87%—Midland, 6 per Cent., 133
South-Eastern and Dover, 25EA.
LIVERPOOL, JUNE 2.
STOCK EXCHANGE.—The share market was better to-day.
The failure announced on Saturday is likely to be arranged,
theref re the name of the defaulter has not been publi hed.
A good amount of stock has changed hands to-day, and the
late " bearing" tendency seems to be abolished. At the close
a slight drooping was observable, but not to any material ex-
tent. The transactions were as follow:—Birkenhead, Lan-
cashire, and Cheshire, 1034 die.—Lancashire and Yorkshire,

'From the London New Price Current, June 3.)
SUGAR.—TJ-day init;Orters of West India Sugar
were reluctant to sell under the rates of Friday; but
the market presented a dull aspect for both grocery and
refioing sorts, and there was a fair supply. The purchases
amounted to 562 hhds, &c., including at auction 175 finds;
182 brls and 14 trcs harbadoes which went off quietly,
at barely previou: rates; fine and g,,od yellow selling at
394 to 429, low to mid 36s to 38s 6d; and •rd to good
brown 33s 61 to 355; but the chief part realized 403 for
good bright yellow; of St. Kitts 40 brls sold at 36s to
37s 64 for ord and good mid yellow.
REFINED.—Today Refined Sugar was purchased with
much caution for home purposes, and brown lumps are
offered at 47s per cwt. In Dutch goods, however, a
with ,idle goodo business was done at former terms. E:r exporta-
tion there is a large demand for Crushed Sugar, and
former rates are well supported.

but deliveries for exportation are less by 9,500;
is,
there however, an increase for home trade

purposes of 2,500 tons. At present the
public sales declared are of little moment.
Since Friday an extensive demand has sprung up for
Foreign Sugar, and chiefly for exportation. Eight car-
goes have been sold, yellow Havannah at 21s 4id to 21s
9d equal to number 12, brown Bahia and Maroim 18s,
Java 235, and several parcels of Manilla, clayed at 36s
6d to 375, and unelayed 31s to 335, indeed at these rates
to-day there were few sellers, and several orders are in
the market.
Moistens.—Prices have given way, the market having
been more freely supplied. There has however been a
good demand and the private purchases are 250 puns of
West India, Dominica at 15s, St. Vincent* 14e 6d, St.
Kitts 13s Bd, Antigua 16s to 16s 6d, and 250 hhds Cuba
at 15s. At auction 87 puns St. Kitts realized 13e 6d.
The value of Bengal and Mauritius:is 12a to 12s 6d, with
12 few buyers. West India Honey from 25s to 50a per cwt.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there were sellers of Native
is Ceylon at a further reduction of 64 per cwt, yet dealers
operated with reluctance, and of 760 bags at auction a
1121 part oily sold, good ord at 87s 6d to 38s, real good ord
5 38s 6d to 395, and damaged 34a to 38s. Plan-
t tation Ceylon met with little attention and e
ras-
Cher lower rates were taken. At auction 232 casks
k.Sa and 813 bags were however chiefly sold, good went at
20 56s to 58s, mid 49s to 52s 9d, low mid 46s 6d to 481,
fine to fine fine ord 43s to 465, and good ord at 41s to
Sat. 425. The market has a dull aspect for all other sorts
riser ot Coffee, and at auction the sound of 1,564 bags Bahia
io was taken in at 84s to 36s for ordinary to good ordinary,
laß bat damaged sold at 30s to 325. Of Padang 42 bags
3
8 went at 36s for good ordinary, and damaged 33s 6d.
ConoA.—To-day the market for Cocoa was in a dull
3 state, and at section 402 bags of Trinidad were taken in
at 38s for good grey, and at 41s 6d for mid red.
TEA.—A reduction of id per lb. having taken place
2 for the lower qualities of Congou, occasioned large par-
ts eels to be taken for home consumption; and several
12 shipping orders were executed. The rates taken
12 for low ord have been 1014, good ord lld
(1 to 111 d ; and medians is rather strong blackish
leaf 1 lid to is Oid. Other qualities - are offering at
from is Id to is 4cl; but only limited purchases have
been made, and there is a plentiful supply. Few buyers
of Oolong are to be met with, and is to is 8d is the
value according to quality. Green has been pur-
chased with much caution, and can be obtained
rather under previous quotations; the better quali-
ties being the most difficult of sale, and there is
no decrease of supply. Former terms are required for
scented and Pekoe Teas, few buyers are, however to be
met with, and several parcels are in the market. No
public sale is at present declared.
braces.—To-day, at public sale, 1,614 bags Penang
Pepper were sold at 2id to 2id for ordinary and good
grey, and 21d to 24d for damaged; the chief part went
at 24d per lb for sound.
RlCE.—Holders of East India are less disposed to press
sales, and none has been offered at auction since this day
week, which is to be ascribed to the low rates prevailing.
Private operations are upon a more extended scale, both
for shipping and home consumption. Bengal has
realised 8s 6d to 103 6d for mid to fine white, broken
7s9d to 8. 3d, Madras 75 to Bs, Arracan 75 6d to Bs, and
cargo 7s to 7s 6d per cwt. The coasumption of Rice is
stilt under last season, and stock is greater by 100 tons.
Cleaned Rice has been purchased with caution, and there
are free sellers of town dressed Carolina at 21s to 255,10 w to
fine Patna 103 to 15s, and American 163 to 17e. For Sago
the market has a quiet appearance, and low to fine small
pearl is to be obtained at 175 6d to 22a. Sago Flour
has been purchased with caution at 14s to 14a 6d. Arrow-
root met a slow sale, Bermuda at is to Is Id, St. Vin-
cent's 3jd to 7d, and East India 2d to 2id. per lb. Only
small parcels of Tapioca have been sold at 2a to .41
pr lb.
SPlRX2.—Prioes have ceased to decline for East India
Rum, and several parcels found purchasers at le 3d to
Is aid per gallon proof. Leeward Island has been in
good demand, and the market is now firm at Is 4id to
Is sid proor. The home trade and shipping de-
mand is on the incre.e for Jamaca, and merchants
re:use to make any further concession. Since this
day week 300 puss have sold, and the rates ob-
tamed were for low to mid quality 30 to 34 per cent
over proof at 2a 3d to 2s 6d, good mid to good 2s 7d to
35 2d, fine and favourite marks 34 to 38 over proof 3s 34
to 4s. Demerara sells more freely at from Is 10d to
3s 2d for 30 to 40 per cent. over proof, and holders are
firm. The demand for Brandy is much better, and
deliveries are getting larger; on the part of
holders there is also more firmness. Cognac best brands
of the vintage of 1850 have been selling at 4s 4d to 4s
6d, 1849 ditto 4s 7d to 4s 9d, 1848 ditto 4s 94 to 44 I Id,
1847 ditto 5s 3d to 5s sd, interior sorts 2s 6ri to 4s, and
Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 4d per gallon. British made Spirit
is not cheaper; there is however only a moderate demand
at 9s 8d to 2. 9d, and for Gin at 8s 2d to 8s 3d for 22
per cent under proof. In Geneva sales are small at Is
7d to is Bd, and fine is 9d to 2s per gallon.
COCIIINEAL.—Prices have undergone no further de-
pression, and a less quantity is on offer. There is more
desire by shippers and home desh-rs to operate ; the
rates paid fur hew to good Honduras Silvers 3s to
3s Bd, black 3s 2d to 4s 3d, fine 4s 4d to 4s 8d ;
Mexican Silvers 3s to 3s 2d, black 3s 3d to 3s 10d; and
Teueriffe, from 3s 4d to 4s. At auction 13 boxes Java
of low quality w..re sold at 2s 7d to 25 8d per ib, al-
though arrivals have been light since this day week, arid
deliveries good.
SALIPETRE.—The good and fine qualities of Cal-
cutta have been purchased with caution since last week,
and prices tend downwards, ruling at from 26s 6d to
28s par cwt; but there is a good demand for ord mid
at 24a 6d to 265. Madras is held fur 24s to 25e, but
inquiries have been limited. British Refined is in good
request at 27s 64 to 28s 6d. Nitrate of Soda met with a
slow sale at 14a to 14s 6d per cwt; and cargoes can be
obtained rather under these rates.
Iststaio.—The amount of business concluded in East
India has been again small for home consumption or
shipping, and there are sellers of Bengal rather under the
rates ot the last quarterly sales, but Madras, Oudes,
and Kurpah aro held for the terms of that period.
Prices are rather lower for Spanish, and the public
sales oi 100 srns Guatemala went at 2s 2d to 4s 84 for
low Cortes to fine Sobres.
Taaa.ow.—Russian on the spot is held for an advance,
but only limited purchases have been made; 37s 9d to 381
per cwt. is the value of fine yellow Candle, and of old 36a
to 375. A good business has been concluded for delivery
in last three months of the year, and rates are firm at
38s 9d to 39s per cwt. for new. Prices are yet moderate
for home melted, ruling at 35s 6d to 365, net cash, still
only limited transactions have taken place. Of Aus-
tralian 466 casks at auction were chiefly sold; Sheep
at 35s to 36s 6d; Ox 33s 9d to 35s 3d; 240 pkgs South
American 34s to 36s 6d ; and 524 casks wrecked P. Y

~'ltndle 33a 6d to 3Gi 9cl per cwt. For auction 1,000 cks
of Tallow aro declared.

On.s.—Southern has been operatedin with more free-
dom, and rates rule firm at 281 to 291 per tan. There
is also a less quantity on offer. There is no farther re-
duction for Seal; the amount of business concluded,
however, has been small for all purposes; pale at
32i to 32/ 10s, and other sorts 291 to 31110,,. The stock

of Cod continues to increase, holders in consequence re-
quire 371 10s to 38c; few buyers are, however.
to be met with. For arrival there are sellers under
present rates. For Sperm the market has a dull
aspect; and stock is greater than it was a few
months back. There are sellers of good to fine at
8-I1 to 861; and of Headmatter 901 to 921, whilst loser
rates are looked for. Rape See Li Oil meet with little
attention, and the quantity on offer remains large;
there are, in consequence, sellers of pale at 32s 6d
to 33!, brawn 31s to 325, and Foreign Refined 33.3 6d
to 33s 9d. There is not the least improvement in the
home or export demand for Cocoa Nut, and sellers are
willing to accept 27,, to 31s for low to fine. Ginolly Oil
sells more freely at 30s to 325. The home and export
demand is much better for Linseed Oil, and rates have
become tirui at 30s 9d to 314 per cwt on the spat.

(From the Sussex Express.)
MAIDSTONE, MAY 29.—The fine and warm weather
of the past week has sent the bines up the poles apace,
and some of our crack grounds are now presenting a
respectable appearance. Where available, cousiderabl,,
work has been done with the spud and hoe, towards set-
ting the gardens in order; but the heavy and beating
rains that fell at the commencement of piling, followed
by a continuance of dry and parching weather, have
rendered the surface of the land harsh and arid; and
many are awaiting the assistance of some good soaking
showers before they again attempt to disturb the tough
and sullen clods that in the stiff soils now bid defiance to
the nidget and hoe. Some good warm showers would
now be very generally beneficial. Fly, though few and
tar between, may now be found in the gardens around
us, whether they are the precursors of a more numerous
flight to follow, another week or two will determine.
MEREWORTH, MAY 29.—The bines have now attained
a good height, and look strong; considerable progress
has been made within the past fortnight, owing to the
favourable change in the weather. The fly has been
seen, but not to any extent. No safe opinion can be
given as to the crop, but the general opinion is that it
will not be an average oue.
MAIDEN, MAY 28.—1 n this neighbourhood we are
rather backward, and the flea has been seen. Under the
influence of improving weather we expect to have a good
yield or produce.
