THIS D.IF'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very moderate supply of English wheat was on sale in
to-day's market, coastwise and by land carriage, and the
general quality of the samples was by no means first-rate.
For most kinds we had a fair inquiry, and a good clearance
of the stands was effected, at Monday's currency.
The imports of foreign wheat this week amount to only
3,850 quarters, but the show of samples was extensive.
Even the finest qualities were dull in sale, but we have no
actual change to notice in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain off the West coast sold to a fair
extent, at fully late rates.
For all descriptions of barley, both English and foreign,
there was a good demand, at very full prices.
Malt changed hands steadily, at extreme rates. The best
coarse qualities were worth 70s to 72s per quarter.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with oats, in which a full average business was transacted,
at late rates.
Beans and peas were firm in price, but the flour trade
was very quiet.

THE KENT COUNTY MAGISTRATES AND THEIR
CORONER.—At a meeting of the members of the Woolwich
Local Board of Health, held last evening, Mr. Tuffield
brought under the consideration of the Board the repeated
refusals of Mr. Carttar, the coroner for West Kent, to hold
inquests upon bodies found dead, owing to the county
justices having determined upon disallowing the usual fees
for such inquiries unless there should appear to have been
violence used to cause death. Mr. Tuffield, having cited
two recent cases—the oue a boy found drowned, and the
other that of .a new-born child found on a door-step at
Deptford—moved the following resolution :—" It having
come to the knowledge of the Woolwich Local Board of
Health that persons found dead in this parish have been
buried without any coroner's inquest or other official in-
vestigation (one case fourteen days since, a boy unknown,
found drowned, after being certified to the coroner by the
churchwardens as a proper case for inquiry), this board
requests that her Majesty's Secretary of State will cause
inquiry to be made, that a practice so encouraging to crime
and so unsatisfactory to the inhabitants of this town may
be speedily ended ; and that a letter embodying this resolu-
tion be signed by the chairman (Mr. Morgan), and for-
warded to her Majesty's Principal .Secretary of State for
the Home Department." Mr. Ruegg seconded the resolu-
tion, observing that not only in Kent, but in other coun-
ties throughout England, attempts wereibeing made by the
magistracy to destroy the protection hitherto afforded by
the ancient institution of the coroner's office. The resolu-
tion was unanimously agreed to.
MIGRATION OF HOP-PICKERS.—During the
greeter portion of the past week the high roads of the
county have swarmed with heavily-laden pedestrians, of
both sexes and of all ages, wending wearily to the various
hopg,rowing districts. The Parliamentary trains on the
South-Eastern railway have also been unusually crowded
with passengers bound to " the hoping ;" but Sunday last
crowned the immigration, and showed in a stronger light,
perhaps, that it has appeared at any former time, the nu-
mense quantity of extra labour employed in the ingathermg
of the hop-harvest. In the morning the Parliamen y

THE LATE CAPTAIN PILKINGTON.—We
in the Cape journals. He distinguished himself in the
Royal Engineers, and his name is associated as civil engi-
neer with various works in Europe, at Sierra Leone, Trini-
dad, and the Cape, but he will be best 'remembered by his
travels in the 13razils on behalf of the slaves. Ile was their
champion for nearly two years, as a pamphleteer in the
Portuguese Language. His principal letters were printed
in one volume, and dedicated to the Emperor. During his
stay in the Brazils, no less than 240 cargoes of slaves were,
in spite of British cruisers, landed in the neighbourhood of
Rio alone : now their importation is prohibited. He may
' be in sonic degree instrumental in founding the present
anti-slavery feeling in that empire. He only escaped
assamination at the time through the interposition of
British merchants and the British ambassador ; upon their
security and assurance, the usual necessity for three weeks'
notice in the public papers previous to his departure was
waived
