THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The supplies of all kinds of Grain last week were large, and of
Flour the return was considerable. This morning, the wind
being contrary, there is not much fresh up. The Wheat trade is
very dull ; and although there is some demand for su.
perfine parcels, the middling and inferior sorts do not support
their late rates, but to make sales the factors must submit to
lower prices. Barley for malting supports our quotations, other
sorts are unaltered. Beans as our last. In Pease of both kinds
we can note no change. Of Oats the supply was plentiful, and
this article is very dull, and last Monday's prices are reduced 6d.
to Is. per quarter. The Flour trade experiences extreme dull-
ness and prices unaltered.

CHOLERA IN EDINBURGH. - FRIDAY
Everrwo.—This city has hitherto been most miraculously
Spared from the ravages of this fearful pestilence, which is
literally " walking at noon-day" within six miles of its
centre. The official report from the Board of Health, up
to eight o'clock to-night, though meagre in details is satis-
Ifactory in substance—that the disease has not yet esta-
blished itself among us ; and it is well known that every
case that has occurred in this city has been traced to
the connection with Musselburgh and the infected region
of the individuals who were afflicted. Fur the general
state and progress of the disease we refer to the official
reports. There is no report at the Board of Health Office
of any death in town, although there is a rumour of one.
In Alusselburgh the progress of the calamity has been rapid
and appalling. Since our last publication on Wednesday,
the deaths have been 43 ; and the report which we have
got this evening from thence states, since the report of yes-
terday, 23 new cases and 18 deaths. Among the latter
- we understand that besides Mr. MITCHELL, whose death
_ was announced yesterday, his relict and son have perished,
and there is al.o a report that a daughter, too, is a victim.
It is satisfactory to learn that in Leith, where the most
_ prompt and careful measures were adopted, there has not
.s been a single case except the one which proceeded from
Mussilhurgh ;so that we trust the intercourse with that

port, of so much importance to itself and other parts of
the country, will not be interrupted, and that Leith may,
10' I to all intents and purposes, be reckoned clean in regard to
26
cholera. —New North Briton.

METALLURGY.—it is said that a Russian
tin Colonel has discovered a means of extracting ores by wood
15 fires, instead of charcoal, which would be a prodigious
saving of expense. We have heard of other great im-
provements in the art of smelting, which are likely to be
I speedily introduced.—Literary Gazette.
