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 varters, 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 WooNicld
h
Local Board of Health, held last evening, Mr. Tuffie
brought under the consideration of tho 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
f. Tuound drowned having d
cited
two recent cases—the one a boy ,an
other that of a new-born child
re found on
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 he signed by the chairman (Mr. Morgan), and for-
warded to her Majcsty':4 Principal !Secretary of State for
the Home Department." Mr. Ruegg secomica tl.c resolu-
tion, observing that not only in Kent, but in other couti-
