firm at Monday's prices. Barley, Beans, and Pease, unaltered.

STATE OF TRADE.—The excitement in
the Cctton Market at Liverpool this week has been greater
than at any period since the memorable year 1825, and
the sales, as will be seen on reference to our cotton-letter,
amount to upwards of 71,000 bag., at a considerable ad-
vance on the prices of last week. The demand for yarn in
this town has also been exceedingly active; and a very
extensive business has been done at advanced prices,
though, we believe, on some counts the increase of price
has not been quite commensurate with that which has
taken place in cotton. A considerable advance has also
been obtained on some de,criotiona of manufactured goods ;
but generally, we believe, there has not been much brisk-
ness in the demand for them ; and they are, consequently,
lower in proportion than reeled yarns.—Manchester

THE SUICIDE IN GREENWICH PARK.-
Yesterday the adjourr.id inquest on the body of Mr. T.
CORFIELD, the F irveyor, of Park-street, was held at the
F ise and Crown, Greenwich. Miss ELIZABETH CDR-
FIELD, sister to the deceased, who appeared in deep
mourning, was the principal witness. She saw her
brother last about Ave o'clock on Saturday afternoon,
when he retied to lie down in his bed-room. He had
latterly been much disturbed in his mind, owing to the
multiplicity of business, and to some temporary difficulties.
It appeared, however, that there was no truth ;n the
statement made on the preced;ng day by LAMBERT, his
assistant, that he could not obtain payment of a large
debt from Mr. FLETCHER, of the highly respectable firm
of FLETCHER, ALEXANDER., and Co., of King's Arms.
yard. The extraordinary mistake about the failure of the
sum firm was also destitute of foundation; Messrs.
FLETCHER, ALEXANDER, and Co. never having contem-
plated stopping payment. It also appeared that Mr.
FLETCHER had even made advances to the deceased. The
Jury returned a verdict of temporary derangement.
SUICIDE BY TAKING PRUSSIC
On Sunday afternon, about two o'clock, a French Gentle-
man, of highly respectable appearance, went into the
house of Mr. J. Burr:A, the Red Lion Inn, Greenwich,
near the Hospital, and partook of some bread and cheese
and ale, and after remaining about half an hour went
away. Between eight and nine o'clock at night he re-
turned again, and inquired if be could sleep there that
night? He was answered in the affirmative, and Le re-
tired to bed about half-pist ten o'clock. The following
morning, finiiiog lie di, nut come down stairs, Mr. BUT-
TLE went to call him, but could receive no answer. Sus-
pecting that something had happened during the night, a
man named ALBEitz BURR got in at his bedroom window,
the door being f‘stened, when he found the unhappy man
lying on the floor, quite dead and cold. Mr. SHERWIN
and several other medical gentlemen were called in
im-
mediately, and they p. onounced that he had been dead
some hours. On looking about the room a small phial
was found which had contained prussic acid ; and, from
the odour which arose from the mouth of the unfortunate
man, there can he no doubt but that he had swallowed
the contents of the phial. The deceased is a total
stranger, but a piece of paper bearing the name of
Sparks" was sewn inside the collar of his coat. He was a
man about five feet four inches high, and was dressed in a
black surtout, moleskin trousers, yellow waistcoat (rolling
collar), boots made in Paris, linen marked C. S., and
wore blue steel spectacles, and a mourning ring on his
finger, He had a black snuffbox, and 7s. 3d. in money,
in his pocket.

It is not a little singular that the heirs to the
Thrones in England, Spain, and Portugal are all little
girls; and it is possible, nay, probable that at one and the
same time there will be Qleens reigning in these three
countries. It is also worthy of remark, that the aspirants
for the Thrones in those countries and in France (I mean
HENRY the Fifth) are all minors—and we have there.

Is called eternal, and perennial, and so forth, is giving to

SALE OF A WlFE.—Yesterday afternoon,
at two o'clock, about 1,000 persons assembled in the
neighbourhood of Portman market to witness an exhibition
of the above description. At the appointed time the hut
band, accompanied by his wife, entered the crowded arena,
the latter having been led to the ►pot in the tisu:ll manner,
with a halter round her neck. The business then cow-
mynced, amidst the hissings and hooting of the popul,ce,
who showered stones and other missiles on the pariies.
The fist bidding was Ss., and the next 4s. ; after which
an interval elapsed, amidst the call of " Going, going,"
from the auctioneer. At last a dustman stepped forward,
and exclaimed, " I wool give five bob" (55.) The woman
was " knocked down" for the sum, and the dustman
carried her off, nothing lotb,runidst the hisses of the crowd.
