EXSCUTIO.N OF TI7O3IAS JONES.

Thomas Jones, the murderer of Dr. Hope, the convict
surgeon at Portsmouth, was executed at Whinchester on
Saturday morning. Before he died he repented of his
crime, acknowledged the justico of his sentence, and
sought the all of religion to support him in the prospect
of an ignominious death. From his condemned cell he
Rent the following letter, viz. :
" Winchester March 18.

"To the friends and relatives of the late Dr. Hope.
"Tt is quite impossible for me to express the feelings
of deep sorrow and shame with which I reflect on the
wicked deed of mine which has deprived you of one so
near and dear to you. I feel I cannot depart this life
without this expres-ion of my sorrow, even though it
may be suspected or spurned, as I deserve it should be ;
but as it will be too late when this reaches you to ask
you to forgive me, I can only entertain the hope that
your Christian charity would have afforded me that com-
fort if there had. been an opportunity. May you be
found on the day of judgment amongst those who shJl
be saved. "THOMAS JONES.".

The parties to whom this was addressed, believing in
its sincerity, and conapassionating the unhappy miter,
sent a reply which consoled him in his last agonies.
Thomas Jones was a most extraordinary man, and
some particulars of his life are to be published at his own
request. He partook of the Holy Sacrament on the day
previous to his execution. He met his death with firm-
ness, but without bravado, and the drop fell a 9 he prayed
God through the Saviour of mankind to sustain and re-
ceive his soul. It will be recollected that Jones was a
convict on board the hulks at Portsmouth, and that he
murdered Dr. Hope, because he thought the latter
treated him harshly on the trial. Witnesses bore testi-
mony to Dr. Hope's tenderness and humanity, but the
attention of the Government has been drawn to the di.k.
cipline of the hulks in consequence of the murder, and
it is not improbable that the hulks will be abolished, as
the treatment of convicts on board them tends rather to
brutalise than to reform the man.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was very little business doing in wheat in the
le cling country markets held on Saturday, and prices were
rather in favanr of buyers. Fine barley appears to be
very scarce i❑ most quarters. The value of that article,
therefore, continues very firm. In other kinds of spring
sorn, including flour, only a limited business was trans -
aztcd.

Most of the continental markets continue dull for wheat
and other produce. Holders, however, are tolerably firm.
Our New York advices bring very little change in prices.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were limited. From abroad we received 7,788 qrs.
of wheat, 40 barley, 16,832 oats, 24 beans, 357 tares, 2,882
kaseed, 2,564 rapeseed, 10 sundry seeds, 150 sacks and
10,563 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to day a very moderate supply of English
wheat came to hand, coastwise and by land carriage. The
show of samples of both red and white was therefore
limited, though their quality was good. Owing to the
holidays the attendance of both town and country millers
was small, consequently the demand for all kinds of wheat
of home produce ruled heavy, and where sales took place
prices ruled from 4s toss per quarter lower than on Mon•
day last.

With foreign wheat we wero but moderately supplied.
The finest qualities were held somewhat firmly, at full
quotations ; but the business doing in all kinds was very
limited, at barely stationary prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were less active.
Fine barley was very scarce, and quite as dear al last
week. Inferior kinds moved off slowly, at late rates.
Malt was tolerably steady, at the late improvement in
value.

There was a fair show of oats, chiefly foreign. On_the
whole, the demand was steady, at last week's quotations.
We had a fair demand for beans, at late rates. The sup-
ply was moderate.

Peas changed hands slowly, yet prices were supported.
We had a dull sale for flour, and country marks were ra-
ther easier to purchase, the fall being fully 2s. per sack.

Nearly 200 seamen belonging to ber Majesty's ship
Russell, now stationed in Cork harbour, were on Friday
presented with medals for services in the Crimea and
B/sek Sea fl;et during the war. The quarter deck of
the Russell was tastefully fitted up f,r the occasion.
There were present Vice-Admiral Sir George Rose S,r-
toriu.s, Lady Sartorius, and family ; Major-General R.
C. Mensal. K.H., Mrs. Ma'ieel, and family ; and a
number of esptains iu the Royal navy resident in
Queenstown and neighbourhood, with their families ;
there wore also present several military officers who had
served in the Crimea. Captain Scott addressed the
men, telling them that h.•r Majesty had given sitni'a-
medlle to a large number of her gallant sailors and sol
Biers, of whom some were their own shipmates, then
present, but that it was impossible for her to do so Per-
sonally to all in the service. He was anxious, therefore,
to impress upon them the nature of the distinction con-
ferred upod them, which was a proof that their services
were known and acknowledged and valued by their
Queen and country. The names of the-men were then
called over, and the medals presented to each by Lady
Sartorius, Mrs. Manse!, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Fan►►bawe,
and Mis. Fiilforl, the band ofthe Rtissell playir,g the
national anthem and other appropriate music. After the
medals had been distributel the ship's- company gave

are steady, but not dearer. The supply in the market is
limited. Foreign and Colonial wools are held for more
money, and the market fox them is very firm. Last week's
imports were 97 bales from Genoa, 24 from Hambro', 12
from Havre, 21 from Copenhagen, and 1,074 from Sydney.

strong east wind ble N for several days last week on the
Norfolk coast, and several serious casualties occurred
among the shipping. The Grenett, a Hanoverian ves-

a schooner, from Rye for Newcastle, parted from both
anchors in Lowestoft roads, and was obliged to run
upon the main opposite the Royal Hotel. The Henry,

There was a very poor show of foroiga stick in to-day's
market. The supply of Irish stock was only 63 beasts and
120 pigs, via Liverpool.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were considerably on the decrease,
and mostly of very middling quality. For all breeds we
had a brisk demand, at an advance in the quotations
realized on Monday last of from 2d to 41 per Slb, and a
clearance was 'Motel The best Scots sold readily at
41101 per 81bs.

The arrivals of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire were 1,500 Scots and short horns ;
from other parts of England 300 of various breeds; and
from Scotland 30) horned and polled Scots.
With sheep we were very moderately supplied, and their
condition was by no means first rate. The mutton trade
was rather active at fully 2,1 per Sibs above the currencies
realized on this day se'nnight. TO best old Downs, in
the wool, changed hands at 5e 2d, out of the wool 4e fid
per Slbs.

There were very few lambs on sale, yet the inquiry for
all breels was heavy at 4d to 61 per Sibs bene.lth Friday's
currency. Very few lambs made more than 7s GI per
8113 s.

The supply of calves was short, and the veal trade ruled
steady, at full quota.tioss. The top figure was 6s per 81b3.
Pigs were in moderate supply, and slurgieh request, at
barely stationary prices.
The market will be held on Friday next as usual.
