COLONIAL.

TEL—There has been very little animation in tho
market, the trade having deferred their operations until
to-day, when a considerable quantity will be offered for
public competition.

SUGAR.—Business has been inactive, and the few deal-
ings entered into have been at about previous rates. In
the refined market dried goods have been in moderate de-
mand, and quotations have shown less firmness, common
lumps to fair being quoted 43s to 43s 6d per cwt.
COFFEE.—There has been a good demand for superior
qualities of colonial, and both plantation and native Ceylon
have realised full values. The stocks on hand, compared
with those of the corresponding period of last year, show a
falling off of nearly 2,000 tons.

RICE.—For soft grain descriptions there has been a more
active demand, but holders are firm and require rather
highez rates, which has in some measure checked business
operations.

TALLOW.—The market has been dull during the week,
and prices at one moment declined 16 per cwt. This
brought forward a few buyers, and a fair amount of busi-
ness was transacted for delivery in the last three months
of the year, most of the tallow awing at this decline
being cleared off. The last advices from St. Petersburg
quote prices flat at 48f silver roubles, with hand money, for
August delivery. The exchange was firmer at 32d 3-16ths
To-day the market is steady at 425. 9d. to 435. for March
and April to June, and 435. 9d. is offered for October to
December, on the spot 435. is paid for new yellow, and
425. 9d. for old. Australian beef, 525. 6d. to 625. 9d. ;
Odessa sheep, 445. 3d. ; Town tallow, 40s. nett cash.

Loss OF IIE EX-CONEEDERSTE CRUISER SUHTER.
—On Saturday the crew of this vessel, which for the
past six months has sailed from Hull as a merchant steamer,
under the name of the Gibraltar. -arrived at hull from
Grimsby, their vessel having foundered on the Dogger
Bank. The Gibraltar was on a voyage from Ilelsiugberg
for Hull with a cargo of grain, and shortly after putting to
sea she was found to be leaky. Ou Sunday, 10th inst., the
steam pumps wore sot agoing, but they did not reduce to
any appreciable extent the water which had accumulated
in her hold. Day after day the pumping went on, but still
the water gained, and by Wednesday all hope of getting
rid of it was abandoned, as the pumps had become choked
with the grain. On Thursday the water was up to the
engine-room floor and still increasing. The crew began to
make ready the boats to leave the ship, as there was no
vessel is sight. In the evening of that day the steamer
Warsaw, of Leith, hovo in sight, and, seeing the dis-
abled condition of the Gibraltar, ran up alongside, and
offered to take her in tow ; but it soon became evident
that she must sink. As the sea was smooth, and the
Gibraltar was on the Dogger Bank, where her crew was
likely to obtain assistance, the Warsaw loft them. At 11
o'clock on Thursday night the water had reached the
gauge pipes on the boilers, and it being then considered the
Gibraltar could not float much longer, the crew left her in
the boats. Fortunately the weather was very fine, the sea
being as calm as a pond. In about an hour from the time
the crew left her the Gibraltar heeled over and went down,
her decks at the same moment blowing up. It is supposed
the vessel leaked beneath her boilers, as every other part
of her appeared to be sound. Thus foundered Semmes'
cruiser, which wrought such great havoc among American
trading vessels during the struggle between the North and
South. About 5 o'clock on Friday morning the crew wore
picked up by a Grimsby fishing smack, and landed at that
port in the evening of the same day. The Gibraltar was
owned by Mr. T. H. Lyon, and she was insured. The
Gibraltar was a wooden-built vessel.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE AT CAMBERWELL.—A
suicide of a most frightful character was committel last
night by a man named Alfred Kenion. It appears that the
deceased had been living at Woolwich, but about a month
ago he saw an advertisement in one of the daily news-
papers'for a house and shop to let at 22, Wyndham-road,
Camberwell. He took this house and shop, and carried on
business as a barber and hair-dresser. On last Sunday
night ho said to his wife he wished that he had stopped
down at Woolwich, for that shop which he was in at pre-
sent would be the ruin of him. At midnight on Sunday
he got somepoison from tho chemist's in the neighbourhood
and asked his wife to take some of it and destroy her
life. She would not take it, and ho turned her out of
doors into the street. The poor thing, who had just got

over her confinement, slept in the streets the whole of that
night, and the next morning, when she went back to him,
ho was then shaving a gentleman in the shop. She thought

that ho was out of hi; miud at two o'clock. Yesterday

afternoon his wife went out to soo a Mend, nud rutin•uel

about half-past nine last night, when she found him lying
on the floor in the shop with his head-nearly cat off from
the body, and the place covered in blood, quito dead. lie

had a razor in his hand covered with blood. The polica
were at once called in, and the body was removed by Mr

Woodman, the coroner's officer, to the dead-house, so that

Mr. W. Carter, the East Surrey coroner, might hold an in-

quest as soon as possible. The deceased has left a largo
family.

RI FORK MEETING AT BRISTOL.—We learn by
telegraph that a great Reform Meeting was hold last night
in the Drill-hall, Bristol; the mayor in the chair. At

least 6,000 persons were present, and resolutions were

passed unanimously declaring that the Government pro-

position offered no hope of a satisfactory measure, and
that no bill would be satisfactory which does not admit

the working classes to the franchise, give the protection of
tho ballot, and provide for the equal distribution of seats.

A petition to the House of Commons was adopted, atitt
thanks were voted to the members for the borough.

positive it was after Gordon's. Gordon never asked
for a postponement of the trial in order that he
might produce Dr. Major. With reference to the
trial of Gordon, it was the general opinion in Mo-
rant Bay that he had a very fair and patient trial.
He merely reflected the general opinion in the Bay ;
he kept his own opinion to himself until the reign
of terror was over.

Mr. Poland—You attended the whole of the trial?

And do do you mean to say that you wrote idle
gossip and not your own opinion when you wrote
in your report that he had a fair trial ?—Yes. I
should have been very badly off if I had reflected
on the conduct of flit; judges.
Do you know the population of Jamaica ?
According to the census it is put down at 400,000.
He did not know that there were among them
15,000 or 16,000 Europeans.

MARLBORO UGLI-S TREE T.
PREFERRLNG A PRISON TO WORKING IN A WORKHOUSE.
—Mary Ann Martin and Elizabeth Davis, two young
women, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with refusing
to work while casual inmates of St. George's Workhouse,
Mount-street, Grosvenor-square.

Thomas Whetstone, superintendent of labour at St.
George's Workhouse, said that the prisoners wore last
night admitted to the ward of the workhouse, and that
morning he took them a pound of oakum each to pick. On
subsequently going to see how they were getting on with
their work he found that they had not touched it, and on
their refusing to pick it, and laughing at him, ho took
them to the master, who ordered them to be brought to
that Court, the practice now becoming rather frequent.
Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prisoners that they were bound to
do the work, and that they would be committed for 14 days
each unless they chose to go back and do the work.
The prisoners said they would prefer having 14 days to
doing the work.
They Were committed for 14 days each:
