LIVERPOOL—Ocr. 7.
The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise since Tuesday
have been fair of eats and oatmeal, but light of other articles.
From foreign ports we have received 450 qrs of wheat,
890 qrs of beans, 5,166 qrs Indian corn, 500 qrs peas, and
768 sacks of flour. From Canada 915 qrs of peas and 449
barrels of flour. The exports since Tuesday comprise 260
qrs wheat, 255 loads of oatmeal, and 768 barrels of flour.
The weather has been exceedingly mild and warm of late.
There has been ranch firmness in the trade during the past
two days, and a fair business doing in wheat, flour, and
Indian corn. Our market this morning had a rather
small attendance of the town and country trade, and a ra-
ther limited sale was experienced for wheat and flour, but
prices were pretty well supported. Oats and oatmeal met
with a slow sale, but holders firm. Barley, beans, and
peas found buyers. Indian corn attracted more attention,
and prices the turn dearer.

WAKEFIELD—Ocr. 7.
The arrivals of wheat are pretty fair, and there being a
firm demand prices wore steady at about the rates of Friday
last. Fine heavy barley steady, at fully late rates, while
inferior qualities were dull, and prices \ rather tend down-
wards. Beans in good supply, and again in favour of the
buyer. Oats and shelling dull, and rather lower.
Wheat, per qr. of 8 bushels 601 b., Essex, Suffolk, and
Kent, white, old, 48s to 51s; new, 48s to 51s; ditto, red,

BRISTOL:SUGAR--OcT. 7.
We have but little improveinent to notice this week.
There is, perhaps, rather more inquiry from the refiners for
pan descriptions of West India, but which has not been re-
sponded to by importers, and the transactions are conse•
queutly unimportant. Refiners' produce sells to a fair ex-
tent, but prices are still very low. Rum meets with a mo-
derate demand at former prices.

Letters from Alexandria state that the project of
connecting Alexandria with Candia by electric tele-
graph has been abandoned, owing to the great depth of
water, and that instead a line will be laid from Alexandria
to the islands of Rhodes and Scio, which will place Egypt
in electric communication with the Turkish capital and the
European system of electric telegraphs. The steamers
Elba and Frank William were at Alexandria, and the
electric cable to be laid down between that place and the
above-mentioned islands was being paid out from the latter
vessel into the former.
'BITE FROM AN ADDER.—A singular accident
occurred in the village of Kingsley on Wednesday, to a
man, named Charles Chandler. It appears that three men
were digging potatoes on some ground the property of
Mr. Chas. Maybee, between ten and eleven a.m. ; two
girls were also there, and seeing a rabbit start from the
hedge and run into a hole, the girls called the men and
told them of it. Chandler went to the hole and put his
arm in, when an adder bit his forehead. A man by the
name of Colver, who was there, immediately killed the
reptile. The poor fellow's face commenced swelling to a
fearful extent. He was conveyed to Alton at once, and
on reaching Binsted he was nearly blind. Mr. Daniel
Inwood, on making inquiries what was the matter with
the man, and on being told the nature of the case, sup-
plied the poor fellow with some adder's fat, and applied
it to his face, which relieved him to a great extent. He
was takep. to a medical man, who gave him some medicine
and other remedies, which relieved him. We are happy to
say the man is now doing well.—West Sussex Gazette.
