MARK LANE.

Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with
home-grown wheat. The attendance of buyers was rather
limited ; nevertheless, about an average business was tran-
sacted in red and white qualities at Monday's decline iuthe
quotations.
The show of foreign wheat was tolerably good. Really
fine samples changed hands at full prices, but inferior kinds
woro a dull inquiry at late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain wore in some instancosheld for
more money. The demand for them was steady.
The show of both English and foreign barley was
again limited. The trade ruled firm, at full quotations.
Malt moved off slowly ; nevertheless prices were sup-
ported. The supply was seasonably good.
The sale for oats was inactive, at barely previous rates.
The imposts were good.
We have no change to notice in the value of either beans
Or peas.

Flour, seeds, and cakes moved off slowly, at late rates.

5, Wood-street, Millbank, Westminster,
October 5, 1867.
SlR,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling In the Throat, with other un-

most comforting in allaying the irritation, and giving
strength to the voice. ,

done. With many thanks from your obedient servant.

THE EARTHQUAKE AT S 7. THOMAS;

The following are extracts from letters viritttn on
the French mail steamer Panama _
" I have to report my arrival here (St. Naiidiel
French steamer Panama. Having had yellow' fever on
board, I expect we shall be quarantined for five 02- seven
days. On the 18th of November, at 3.50 p.m., St. Ti‘onas
was visited by a severe shock of earthquake, followed by
heavy rollers from the sea, the water rising over the
wharves and flooding the stores as far as the main stl met.
The first shock was succeeded by smaller ones up to the
21st, the day we sailed."
A letter dated St. Thomas, November 21, says :
" While suffering from the effects of the hurricanevws
have to report to-day a more melancholy event, expe-
rienced from a fearful earthquake, which commenced on
the 18th about 3 p.m., and the shocks have continued ,up
to the moment of our writing. The sea sank about 15 feet.
and came back in an inamen3o wave about 30 to 40 fee%
high. The whole population are now living on the
and nearly every store is destroyed."
I Another writer reports under the same date
:
"This town has been visited by a most fearful earth-
vake, which, although lasting one minute and twenty
seconds, was so severe as to destroy many houses, &e.
It caused the sea to recede half a mile, which returned
after the shock with such force and height that it swept
everything—sloops, schooners, &e., into the principal,
streets."

__
We have also received the following, of the same
date : _

" From the afternoon of November 18 there has been
a 'succession of earthquakes, the shocks estimated at be-
tween eighty and ninety, of which six or seven lasted for
some minutes. Of the buildings, scarcely one is left that is
not rendered useless and unsafe. On the 18th the sea rose
like a wall, and it was feared that the island would be
swept. The loss of life, as far as ascertained, does not
emceed fifty ; hut the destruction to property is immense,
and places the damages caused by the hurricane in insig-
nificance. The consulate office, store, &c., are fearfully
damaged, and there has been considerable injury to the
few ships in port."

Mr. Churchwarden NuNN supported the resolution.

Mr. HOLLANDS moved that the word " calamity
should be struck out of the resolution, and the words
" traitorous and murderous crime " be inserted in its
stead.
The Rev. Mr. MAauruE was of the same opinion, and
after some conversation the word " calamity" was altered
to " atrocious crime."
A person present, amid considerable confusion, argued
that it was quite unnecessary to raise subscriptions, seeing
that the Government was liberally supplying all the money
that the sufferers required.
The resolution being put was carried almost unani-
mously.

rue Rev. Mr. MAGUIRE then read lists of subscriptions
which had been handed in to the amount of nearly £l,OOO.
Mr. THOMPSON and Mr. ELLENWATER moved and
w.:conded the next resolution, appointing a committee,
consisting of Mr. Alderman Lusk, Mr. Torrens, the in-

Dr. SHEEHY supported the motion, which was carried.
The Rev. Mr. THORPE moved : " That the Clerkenwell
branch of the London and Co unty Bank should be the
bank for the subscriptions, and that Messrs. Nunn and
Wilcox should be the treasurers, and Mr. Paget (the

Mr. JONES seconded the resolution, which was carried.

THE EARTHQUAKE AT S 7. THOMAS;

The folloitink aie eztracts froin letters written on beard

" I have to report my arrival here Istaiaire) by the
French steamer Panama. Having had yellow fevei on
board, I expect we shall be quarantined for five or seven
days. On the 18th of November, at 3.50 p.m., St. Thomai
was visited by a severe shock of earthquake, followed by
heavy rollers from the sea, the water rising over the
wharves and flooding the stores as far as the main street.
The first shock was succeeded by smaller ones up to the
21st, the day we sailed."

A letter dated St. Thomas, November 21, says :
" While suffering from the effects of the hurricane, we
have to report to-day a more melancholy event, expe-
rienced from a fearful earthquake, which commenced on
the 18th about 3 p.m., and the shocks have continued up
to the moment of our writing. The sea sank about 15 feet,
and came back in an immense wave about 30 to 40 feet
high. The whole population are now living on the hills,
and nearly every store is destroyed."

Another writer reports under the same date :
" This town has been visited by a most fearful earth-
quake, which, although lasting one minute and twenty
seconds, was so severe as to destroy many houses, Scc.
It caused the sea to recede half a mile, which returned
after the shock with such force and height that it swept
everything—sloops, schooners, &c., into the principal
streets."

We have also received the following, of the same
date :

" From the afternoon of November 18 there has been
a succession of earthquakes, the shocks estimated at be-
tween eighty and ninety, of which six or seven lasted for
some minutes. Of the buildings, scarcely one is left that is
not rendered useless and unsafe. On the 18th the sea rose
like a wall, and it was feared that the island would be
swept. The loss of life, as far as ascertained, does not
exceed fifty ; but the destruction to property is immense,
and places the damages caused by the hurricane in insig-

CANDLES.—If you do not want your candles
exclusively for show, but with pleasantness of appearance
require excellence of burning, buy "PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL
PALMITIN E," or their " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," or their
good old-fashioned "BELMONT SPERM," or "BELMONT
WAX,"for their "BEST," "No. 2," " N 0.3," or "BATTERSEA "
COMPOSITE, in preference to the finest and most transparent
Paraffine candles. But if you must have the extreme trans-
parency of pure Paraffin, " PRICE'S PARAFFINE" or their
"BELMONTINE" will give it to you in perfection, and at a more
moderate price than is usually charged for any other really first-
class Paraffine Candles.
The new toilet soap "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE,"
containing half its weight of their concentrated distilled Glyce-
rine, should be in general use in every house before the winter
comes on, because of its admirable effects in preventing chap-
ping of the hands and face. In every house there ought also to
be one of the sealed bottles of their concentrated Distilled Gly-
cerine, known everywhere as "PRICE'S GLYCERINE," and
prescribed by the most eminent medical men abroad as well as at
home, as the one only Glycerine for medicinal use whether ex-
ternally or internally.
PRICE'S FANCY SOAPS of the different sorts usually made
are excellent, and command a constantly increasing sale. The
"Solidified Glycerine" spoken of above is, however, the one fancy
soap to use.

"PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights
made. "PRICE'S CHILDS' NIGHT LIGHTS," for burning
without glasses, and their different sorts of "CHAMBER CAN-
DLES" are so well known, and so generally used and appre-
ciated, as not to need any special notice here.

LEEDS CHRISTMAS SHOW.

The annual fat cattle, sheep, and pig show opened
in Leeds on Saturday, in the Smithfield Market. It
was more remarkable for quality than for numbers,
though there were 70 entries of stock. Some of
the prize animals from Birmingham and York
were there, and in one or two instances they were
excelled. The Mayor's cup and £2O for the best
animal was won by Mr. W. M'Combie, of Aber-
deen, with the brother to the famous Black Prince,
which is loin, less in girth than his relative, who
has been so conspicuous in London, but the dead
mean weight of which will be from 16 to 17 cwt.
The Innkeepers' Plate and £lO for the best animal
of the opposite sex fell to Sir Walter C. 'Trevelyan
for a heifer which was first in her class at York,
and will, when slaughtered, yield about 108 stone
of beef. In the opinion of some private judges
this heifer ought to have beaten everything else, CO
perfect was she in form, compact about the loins,
and fine to a nicety in quality, compared to any of
the oxen. The judges had evidently held substance
and quantity in higher esteem than beauty and re-
finement. The Tradesmen's Plate and £lO for the
best Irish cross-bred was carried off by Mr. Richard
11. Harris, of Forres, N.B. The Rev. T. Stan'',
forth, of Storrs, Windermere, obtained the first and
second prizes in the class of any aged oxen. They
had been unsurpassed at York for symmetry, and
were of the best style of the fashionable shorthorn.
Tke finest ox not exceeding three years old be-
longed to Mr. Pease, M.P., and lowered the colours
of Mr. G. Taylor, Bridlington Quay, who- won the
President's cup at York. Mr. Pease's ox was per-
fect in form, and though a year younger than gr•
M'Combie's was size enough without being at
all coarse. The best cow was Mr. Waintnan
of Harrogate, the Duke of Devonshire being second;
Mr. Granby, of Aberdeen, took the Royal Aga:*
cultural Society's cup with a beast in the same cuss
as Mr. M'Combie's. Sir W. Trevelyan showed 3
true model of a Highland ox ; and of the tenant
farmers, Mr. Wiley, Brandsby, was one of the most
honoured on account of an ox which had distin-
guished itself at York. There were more Scotch
specimens than any other in the exhibition, which
showed good frames and nice quality without being
patchy or obese in humps, and without regularity
The most remarkable specimens of sheep were those
of Captain Gunter, Wetherby. They stood veil
high from the ground, and would weigh from 401 b.
to 501 b. a quarter. They showed to what excel-
lence rough mountain-bred sheep can be brought
by good keep and careful tending. The largest
pigs in the show weighed respectively 101 and 14u
stone. The lighter beast won the first prize, but
both belonged to Mr. Lakeland, of Retford.
