CORN EXCHANGE.

There has been a moderate arrival of English ''heat this
week, coastwise, viz., 2,710 quarters ; but by land car.
riage, fresh up to-day, the receipts were very limited.
Consequently, the show of samples was small. Good and
fine qualities were held firmly, at Monday's currency, but
other kinds were a dull sale, at barely stationary prices.
About 5,000 quarters of foreign wheat have been re•
ported, and the show of granaried samples was large. For
all descriptions there was very little inquiry. Compared
with Monday, however, no change took place in the qua
tatione.

The show of barley was limited, and the trivia rules
steady, at very full prices. _ _

For malt the inquiry was far from motive, on former
terms.

Oats wero in modorate request, at previous currencies.
Beans and peas were very firm, but flour met a dull
inquiry. Over 15,000 barrels of the latter have come is
from the United States.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Although the supply of beasts here to-day was veil
limited the demand for all breeds ruled heavy, and Monday
prices were barely supported. There was scarcely any
quiry for sheep—the show of which was very moderate—
at unaltered quotations. Lambs were dull, and almost
nominal. From the Isle of Wight 50 head came to hand.
We had a very dull sale for calves, and prices gave way 44
per 81bs. Pigs and mulch cows were heavy.

BOROUGH HOP.
There is a fair inquiry for good and useful hops of last
year's growth, at full prices ; but all other kinds are a dull
sale, at barely late rates.
New Mid and East Kent Pockets, 70s to 120 a ; Weald of
Kent do., 56s to 70s ; New Sussex do., 52s to 62s ; Tear.

COLOL.
TR)...—At public sale there was NIA a
good attendance of the
trade, although the actual quantity sold was not large.
Former quotations were in most instances fully main-
tained.
SUGAR.---There was a very moderate business transacted
privately, and as holders still continue to demand full
rates, buyers are acting with caution. In the Refined
Market a farther reduction of 6d per cwt. may be quoted,
but there is little business doing. Good lumps sell for
54s to 55s ; and common, 53a 6d ; and good pieces, 464 per
c wt.
COFFEE. —The demand for Plantation Ceylon for home
consumption is still good,
and a few small parcels have
realised full prices. Bengal and Mocha descriptions are at
about previous quotations.
RICE.—A very limited business has been reported, and
at public sale the greater part of the quantity offered was
bought in at somewhat under previous rates.
Mix—There is a very good inquiry for the better quali-
ties, and previous values have been fully sustained.
Demerara sold for 2s 3d to 2s 4d and Jamaioa 4s Id per
gallon.
SPIcEs.----The market is dull for all descriptions, and
pimento, Coetia Vera, mace, nutmegs, and ginger all sold
at slightly reduced rates.
FRUIT. —There is a very limited demand for currants,
but prices remain firm, and the clearances are large.
SALTPETRE.—A very limited businos has been done, the
sales having been confined to a few lots of good qualities
at fully late rates.
TALLOW. —Tho market is strong; P. Y. C. on the spot rules
at 56s ; April to Juno, 54s ; and last three months, 52s
61 per cwt.
GREEN FZIIIT.—The change of weather has improved
the consumption. Three cargoes of St. Mickael oranges,
sold t,y Keeling and Hunt at public sale, were taken freely
by the trade. More inquiry for lemons, and a better de-
mand for nuts of all kinds. Seville sours scarce, and 51.
per chest higher.

DETERMINED SUICIDE IN LINCOLN'S-INN-FIELDS.%
Y sterday Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster;
received information of the death of Mr. Win. Carpenter,
a4.,+ 23 years, who resided in New Boswell-court, Lin-
coln's-inn-fields, under the following circumstances :--
It appears the deceased had been in a desponding state
of mind for some length of time, but it was not appre-
hended that he would attempt self-destruction. On on°
of the inmates going up stairs he was horrified at disco.
vering him suspended by a rope thrown over the door
on the first fluor back. An alarm wan instantly raised,
when Mr. Swain and Dr. Anstia, of King's College
Hospital, were in prompt attendance, and rendered
every assi,tauce, but life had been extinct some hours .
N cause is assigned for the rash act.
COUNTERFEIT OF THE HERRING BRAND.—SOI3IB time
ago it came to be known that a quantity of herrings of
inferior cure, which had been refused when offered for
the Crown brand (1 the Board of Fisheries in Scotland,
had been purchased by a German house and branded at
Harburg with a counterfeit iron. The Secretary of the
Board uf Fisheties communicated the fact to Lord Claren-
don, who' instructed the British Consul-General at Ham-
burg, Col. Hodge, to make inquiry into the case. The
Consul despatched Mr. Hargreaves to Magdeburg, wl.ter•
it was understood a parcel of 300 barrels of these herring/
were lying, but on arrival there he found that they
ad
been sent to Western Germany. Engaging a specil
engine, Mr. Hargreaves went in search of them, and at
Brunswick found that the herrings had just gone into
the goods station. Here he applied to the authoritiee,
and the herrings were arrested in the name of the Queen.
Wbat further steps remain to be taken is not yet known,
but the British Consul at Brunswick has been instructed
to spare no effort in order that the authors of the fraud
may be punished,
