THE SUN LONDON, ritifiAY, OCTOUP.II 10, 1834.

Belfast to Irvine, my vessel, the Robert of Whitehaven, struc
on a reef of rocks about a mile to the south of TurnberrY
Point, where she lay for seven hours, and where at low wate
she ebbed quite dry. Had the wind changed, the vessel to a
certainty must bare been lost ; but being from the S.E. and
calm, she got off without damage. This reef is called the
Briss Rocks, and as they are not laid down in any chart I have
seen, nor any beacon placed to point them out to the mariner,
they are extremely dangerous, espcially to strangers."—Ayr
Observer.

THE NEW MARKET.—Yesterday week the first
stone of the building intended for the York Union Bnnking
Establishment, was laid ,by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor.
This is the first erection commenced in the New Market Place.
—York Chronicle.

MA NU FACT URES.—In England
,the number of
lives dependant on a first rate manufacturing establishment may
be reckoned not by hundreds but by thousands. One leading
firm in Manchester is said to pay a million a year in wages.
One branch of manufacture (that of cotton) in England alone,
exclusive of North Britain, is calculated habitually to employ
in factories, exclusive of hand-loom weavers, printers, bleachers,
dyers, cotton thread lace makers (an important and increasing
branch of industry,) no less than 212,800 individuals, and
to distribute annually amongst them in weekly wages,

OIL TRADE.--A letter from Corfu dated August
26th has the following :--The quantity of oil obtained this
,year has exceeded all our expectations. Still the prices con-
tinue to rise, and from all appearances they have not yet
reached their height. This rise has been partly produced by
the announcement that the duty had been lessened in England,
but the market of Corfu has. been principally influenced
by the failure of the crop at Genoa. In fact, the Genoese
and the Venetians, who furnish Lombardy with oil, have been
forced to come here to obtain it. The growers, the specu-
lators, and all those concerned in the trade, seeing their advan-
tage, raised the prices. The immense number of buyers, and
the arrival of so many vessels, insured sales even at the most
exorbitant prices. The price of a barrel of oil (containing 18
gallons) is at this moment 10 talaris and a half (about 21. ss. 6d.
English money.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, OCT. B.—We
have no change in our Cotton Market to-play. The sales were
2,500 bales, at steady prices—viz., 20 Bahias, 111 d. ; 25
Sawginned Maranharns, 101-d. 100 L'iguayras, 10141. ; 80
Sea Islands, 19d. to 20-id. ; 100 Barbadoes, Ned. Remainder
in American, from Bd. to 91d.

CANADA.—The communications from Quebec
come down to the Bth of September. At that date cases of
cholera had nearly disappeared in that city and at Montreal,
but the few letters that are in London assert that they cannot
expect to be long free from cholera if the English emigrants
are allowed to come out in their present filthy condition. A
strong remonstrance we understand, will be made to the Go-
vernment for an alteration of the law bearing upon this point.
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.—There are fewer vessels
in Table Bay at present than we remember to have seen at
anchor there for some years at this season. The whole num-
ber is only six, and of these two will leave us in the course
of the week. The import trade however, has been super-
abundant for a considerable period. Many articles of Bri-
rish woollen and cotton fabric, notwithstanding the heavy rise
which has taken place in England on all staple articles, may
be purchased cheaper here than at the manufactory. —South
African of June 25.
BOULOGNE, OCT. 2.—The Government brig Sal-
mon has come into port, having on board the life-boat intended
for this station : it was built in England, and has served as a
model for those which have been built in the Government
dockyards. This boat seems admirably adapted for the object
it is intended for. It is now necessary to build a houses to
muster the crew, that it should practise and sail in her at the
very first foul weather, in order to acquire the requisite confi-
dence. Reliance may be placed for the accomplishment of
this in our Humane Society, and in the generosity of the in-
habitants, to supply them with the necessary funds.
BOMBAY.—We learn by the accounts received
from Bombay that it was reported that Bussorah had been oc-
cupied by a force in the pay of Mehemet Ali, Pacha of Egypt.
Several of the Company's cruisers had gone to Bahreim, a
flourishing island on the Arabian side of the Persian Gulf, in
order to blockade that place in event of redress being refused
for an outrage committed on the Company's agent there, who
it appears had been bastinadoed, and a considerable sum of
money extorted from him. These vessels had been despatched
by the Resident at Bushire. It is stated that Captain Wil-
cock, of the Royal Navy, who has been some years in the
East, had died in a native boat on his progress from Bushire
to Muscat, having caught the fever usually so fatal to Euro-

peans.
STUTGARD, SEPT. 27.—The vintage has been
exceedingly productive in the whole country, especially on the
banks of the Lake of Constance. The oldest inhabitants do
not remember such a year. In the valley of the Necka, the
fruit-trees, which border the road on both sides, are bent under
the weight of the fruit, and it grieves to the heart those who
pass by, to see the quantities of beautiful rosy apples that lie
spoiling in the ditches. But what avails it? Heaven sends
the fruit in such abundance, and man dares not eat it, for a
malignant dysentery is raging in our beautiful country. Ess-
lingen, in :particular, has suffered very severely, and it is
melancholy to see what a number of the inhabitants are in
mourning. In the capital there have hitherto been only a few
cases, and the general mortality is said to be even less than in
preceding years.
GLASGOW HARBOUR, &c.—There has been very.
little business doing at the quays during the past week. Three
vessels have arrived from foreign ports—one with another
cargo of hemp—which shows, by the number of vessels hay..
ing hemp cargoes arrived this season, the great increase in
the trade of rope-spinning at Glasgow ; part of the cargoes of
hemp have been re-shipped to Greenock. It will be observed
that a vessel from Cadiz has arrived with a part of her cargo
of wine for Liverpool, and which she goes round with after
the wines for Glasgow are discharged. By the steamers from
Ireland, a deal of new corn has been received in sacks. The
Irish are pushing in their corn to this market to catch the
first prices, while our farmers are thinking when they shall sell
theirs. We trust the intended new corn market will give the
small farmers a better chance, and that they will be as active
as the Irish farmers.—Glasgoto Reporter.
INVERNESS.—The weather is as warm, clear, and
genial as in the beginning of August. The bustle of the
harvest has, indeed, ceased; the farmer has gathered in his
latest sheaf, and though the produce has been less abundant
than in some years, the grain is of excellent quality, and it
has been all secured before the gloomy mists and rains have
descended to darken the prospect. Our woods, which last
year presented an unusual richness of autumnal foliage, have
scarcely yet lost a leaf, but here and there they have assumed
their sallow livery. The nut-gatherers arc at work on the
banks of Loch Ness, which promise to yield a good return of
this delicious wild fruit, as well as of brambles, both of which
are already hawked about in bags and baskets for sale. The
birch-tree is the peculiar pride and ornament of our Highland
mountains, and we can testify that it has lost none of its grace
and beauty by the slight tinting the leaf has undergone.—A-
verness Courier.

RAVAGES OF THE CHOLERA.—The Frankfort
.Journal of the 3d inst. remarks that " in no part of Europe
has the Asiatic cholera proved more destructive than in Sweden.
The disease has carried off one-tenth of the population of Got-
tenburgh. The capital has lost one.twenty-eighth, and as
great numbers are now lying ill, the proportion of deaths may
be much greater. In no part has the disease made such ter-
rific ravages as in Nikoping, a maritime town in Sweden,
about fifty miles from Stockholm. Official accounts give 15
deaths out of every 100 inhabitants, which constitutes more
than one-seventh of the population who have been carried off.
Entire families have been swept away. In one instance, in a
family of five persons every soul perished; in another family,
consisting of seven, only two survived. It does not appear
that any particular class of persons is affected more than an-
other. In the year 1831 the wet weather was generally sup-
posed to have occasioned this dire calamity, but we have bad
during the present epidemic hot days without a drop of rain ;
nevertheless, its ravages have been unparalleled."
NEW POOR LAW.—CURIOUS QUESTION OF
SETTLEMENT.—At the Maldon petty sessions on the 25th
ult., the overseers of Steeple applied for orders of removal
from their parish of a pauper, who had gained a clear settle-
ment at Beckingham, by renting a large estate some years
before. The 6Sth section of the Poor Laws' Amendment
Act says, that "no person shall be deemed, adjudged, or
taken to retain any settlement gained by virtue of any pos-
session of any estate or interest in any parish for any longer
or further time than such person shall inhabit within ten miles
thereof." The Magistrates doubted whether the welds "in-
terest in any parish" were to be understood as applying to the
occupiers as well as owners of estates ; and if there were, then
another question arose as to the distance. The overseers of
Steeple admitted that the distance from their parish to Beck-
ingham, by the nearest road or footpath, is considerably more
than ten miles; yet, by crossing the river Blackwater in a
boat (but there is no regular ferry-boat), it is certain that it
is much less than the ten miles. The Magistrates, under
these circumstances, doubted if they could remove the pauper
to Beckingham, and postponed the further consideration of
the case to the next petty sessions. Under the Reform Bill,
the revising barristers very generally decided that the distance
from one place to another was to be determined by the nearest
footpath.

AWFUL DEATII.—On Wednesday afternoon, an
inquisition was taken at Southall-green, at the Three Tuns,
near Hayes, before Mr. Stirling, on view of the body of
George Prickett, who was struck dead under the following
circumstances Robert Savage Hayes, salesman, de-
posed, that on Monday last, about six o'clock in the evening,
he was passing Southall-green, when he saw the deceased fling
a clod of dirt at a man in a waggon. Ile fell immediately as
it was out of his hand. Witness went up to him, and asked
him if he was subject to fits. He had just time to say
No !" when he expired. Witness then inquired of a man
in the cart, of the name c) Curtis, if he had flung a potato
at the deceased? He replied that he had, and that it had hit
him below the ear, when he instantly fell. The man then
came from the cart, and picked up the potato, which, after
showing- to witness, he flung away. The potato was produced.
Mr. Adam Sutherland, surgeon, sworn, said that lie saw the
deceased immediately after ke was seen to fall. He then saw
no external sign of the cause of death. In a short time he
heard that he had been struck with a potato. He examined
the parts injured, and found a little discolouration, but does
not believe the blow to have been the cause of death, but that
he died. in consequence of the rupture of some blood-vessel.

EPSOM OCTOBER MEETING—CONCLUDED
The following is a return of the running yesterday :
The. Nork Stakes of 5 sous. each, and 25 added; three yrs, 7st.
four, Set. 31b. ; five, Bst. IMb. ; six, and aged, 9st. Mares and
geldings allowed 31b. The winner to be sold for 120 sovs., &c.
New Craven Course. 7 subs.
Mr. Harrison's Denbies, 4 yrs N. Farrell 1
Mr. Dockeray's Trickery, 4 yrs
Mr. Saour's Raven, 4 yrs 3
Mr. Lambden's Revealer, 5 yrs
Mr. Gardnor's Myrrha, 4 yrs 6
Captain Skipwith's Lady Charlotte, 4 yrs 6
Betting—Even on Raven, 3 to 1 agst Trickery, and 4 to 1
agst Denbies. Trickery took the lead, and made play for a
quarter of a mile at a moderate speed • Denbies then ran by
her, increased the pace, and cut out the work to the roads.
where he was tackled by the others, excepting only Lady Char-
lotte, who was in a bad place throughout ; they ran abreast,
and it appeared to be anybody's race to within half a distance
from home, when, beaten by the pace, Trickery, Raven,
Myrrha, and Revealer, dropped off, and Denbies won very
cleverly by a length. It was a good race for second between
Trickery and Raven, but the other three, technically speaking,
were nowhere. The winner, who was claimed, was ridden
very neatly by young Farrell.
The Woodcote Stakes of 5 sows. each, and 25 added; three yrs,
7st. ; four, Bst. 31b. ; five, Bst. 101 b. ' • six, and aged, 9at. Mares
and geldings allowed 31b. Winner to be sold for 100, &c. Heats,
the New Mile. 6 subs.
Sir G. Heathcote's Figaro, 3 yrs. A lad 1 1
Mr. Pigott's Pincher, 3 yrs
Mr. Bishop's Jenny Wren, 4 yrs
Mr. Molony's Wassailer, aged
First Heat— 6 to 4 agat Pincher, 7 to 2 agst Jenny Wren
and sto 1 agst Wassailer. This was a very curious race ; the
riders of all but the Canopy filly waiting orders, and she, over-
powering the little fellow on her back, went sailing away fifty
or sixty yards in advance of them, arid never allowed them to
approach nearer till past the chair. In the second heat she
permitted them to run with her till half way up the straight
course, left them there, won in a canter, and was claimed ; the
odds after the first heat were 2 to 1 on her.
This terminated the meeting, which, however it may have
disappointed public expectation, was better than could have
been anticipated from the disadvantages under which the Com-
mittee laboured. Whether there will be any second meeting
next year will depend on the result of Mr. Briscoe's action.
The Grand Stand was opened and the victualling department
provided by Mr. Hare, of the Roebuck, at Richmond, and we
were happy to observe that the patronage bestowed on both was
quite as good as could be expected from a very thin company.
