MARKETS.--~This day.

MARK LANE.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market
to-day from Essex and Kent was very moderate and in
but middling condition. Notwithstanding the limited
supply offered, the few millers in attendance were but
little disposed to operate, and no transactions of importance
took place. As regards prices the trade ruled firm.
The market was well, but not heavily supplied with
foreign wheat. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly
at the prices current on Monday.
In floating cargoes of grain very little business was
passing ; nevertheless prices were well supported.
Fine barley was disposed of et very full prices Grind-
ing and distilling sorts were dull, but not cheaper.
Malt moved off slowly, at late rates.
The oat trade ruled quiet, and the value of inferior par-
cels had a drooping tendency. Fine qualities were firm
in price.

Beans as well as peas were dull, on former terms.
The flour trade was very firm, and the value of town•
made qualities was advanced to 60s. per 2801bs.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A DAUGHTER OF VISCOTJNT
ST. VINCENT.—On Tuesday afternoon an accident, which
terminated fatally, befel Caroline, second daughter of
Viscount St. Vincent. Whilst skating on a pond in God-
mersham Park, with other members of the family, the
wyeituhngtholaidc yo. fell,
the back of her head coming in contact
Miss St. Vincent was carried into tho man-
sion in an insensible state, and the medical adviser of the
family was immediately sent for, who, on arrival, dis-
covered the patient had sustained a fracture of the skull.
Everything was done for the young lady that medical
skill could devise, but she expired from the injuries early
the following mornimg. The deceased was about 13 years
of age.

TILE CATASTROPHE OFF NORTHFLEET. —On
Saturday and Sunday a rumour prevailed throughout
Greenwich and the neighbourhood that one of the bodies
of the unfortunate crew of the Ross Winans, who are sup-
posed to have all perished on Christmas night, had been
washed on shore. The statement was to the effect that
some fishermen off the coast, near Whitstable, had lighted
upon the body of a drowned seaman, very much tallying
to the description given of James Earl, and on whose linen
there were the letters "J. E." The rumour was totally
unfounded. The mother of Earl—who was suffering from
ill health, and who had apparently, with a mother's love,
hoped on when all hope was over—was so affected by this
supposed confirmation of her son's death that she shortly
afterwards expired.

THE TESTIMONIAL FEVER IN A NEW LIGHT.--Un
the occasion of the annual dinner to the inmates of
the Metropolitan Benefit Societies Asylum, Balls-pond,
given on New Year's-day, the Rev. T. Slater, chaplain of
the almshouses, was presented with a testimonial consist-
ing of a purse of 10 guineas. The reverend gentleman has
earned this extremely liberal mark of esteem by conduct-
ing the religious services in the chapel of the asylum for
14 years without foe or reward. The munificence of the
gift cannot but strike home to the hearts of the present
testimonial-loving generation. The reverend recipient
considered the unexampled liberality of his friends and
patrons Worthy to be recorded in an original poem, which
he read to them on the auspicious occasion.---Hornsey
