I.dands at 1114. to 14d. ; 100 stained ditto, 6d. to lOid. ;
3.300 Boweds, 6+l. to 7i ; 1,760 New Orleans,

hams, 73d. to 9-1,1. ; 10 Demeraras, 91(1.; 130 Egyptians,

former in Pernams at 9id. to yd. ; Maranhama at 9.1. ;
and Bshias at 7i.1. to J. ; the latter at Sid. ; 50 Surat.
411. to 51d., and 1,500 in American descriptions from
64d. to 7)d.
CORN.-We have had a moderate supply of Irish Wheat
in since Tuesday, but the prevalence of adverse winds pre-
venting any extensive arrivals, those of other grain
are light, and of Flour and Oatmeal about 2,000
sacks each. The operations in the Coin trade from
Tuesday until to-day have been generally of a limited
character, without any material change in prices. At
our market this morning, having very few country buyer
in attendance, and the town millers being much on the
reserve, the demand fur Wheat was extremely languid; the
sellers at the same time, with very few exceptions, ad-
hering steadily to our last quotations, we have no decided
alteration to note in prices. Fine bright English malting
Barley remaining scarce may be considered full as dear as
last week, while all other kinds, upon a very dull sale,
are rather depressed in value. Prime Malt only is salea-
ble at former prices, the inferior qualities being wholly un-
noticed. Beans and old Pease with difficulty maintain our
last quotations, but good new builing Pease, if any at hand,
would readily command 465, to 48s. per quarter. Oats,
and Oatmeal, although not of brisk sale, were in rather
better demand, at the rates of Tuesday. Flour dull at
late prices.

LITERATURE OF LINCOLN.—A new pe-
riodical bas appeared, to illuminate the city, called the
Farthing Rushlight, price two-pence per quarter. It
has attacked the gentry.

HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.—At a time when
the public attention is so much directed to the affairs of
Holland, it may he interesting to know that Sir ARTHUR
BROOKE FAULKNER'S work, now on the eve of appear-
ance, will contain an account of his recent residence in
that country and Belgium. His journal, while at Antwerp.
will be found to include many particulars bearing on the
topics which have induced the present rupture with the
King of the NETHERLANDS. Sir ARTHUR is said to have
been much in the diplomatic circles abroad, and to have
had unusual opportunities for observing the political ma-
noeuvres of the States wherein he sojourned. These h•
has exhibited in colours which are likely to surprise the
few who imagine themselves to be solely is the secret,

The following is a copy of the Official Report made to
Sir Pulteney Malcolm of the accident which occurred to
the Southampton, by lightning, on the sth instant :
" His Majesty's ship Southampton, Downs, Nov. 6,1832.
" In a squall at 1 p.m. yesterday we were struck with
lightning, the electric matter first taking the heel of the
wizen top-gallant-mast (which was housed), vetting fire
to the paunch-mat on the mizen topsail yard, then run-
ning down the mizen-mast until checked by the sheet of
copper in wake of the boom, which partially dispersed
it, taking a considerable part nut of the mizen-mast; se-
riously injuring Stephen Elgar, and John Gibson, yeo-
man of the signals; starting the oak planks and copper
bolts about the wheel, it got on to the main deck, and
there took a copper bell-pull at the cabin door, which
conducted it through ten of the quarter-deck beams, four
of which are a good deal shook, and all the lining of the
skylight, mast, and other joiners' work in its course torn
down; the stream of electric matter appears to have di-
vided when it took the bell-pull ; part of it running acro,s
the deck, shivering a box of grape shot to atoms, and sin-
gular to say put a twenty-four pounder shot in a partial
state of fusion, it descended to the gun-room by a bolt in
the water-way, on tl:e larboard side, and then got hold
of the gun-room bell-pull, which carried it over to a cabin
on the opposite side, where it exploded, shivering to pieces
all shelves, boxes, &c. In my cabin the explosion was
like that of a large quantity of powder ; the after-part of
the ship was so filled with smoke that at first I was un-
der apprehension the ship was on fire, and took precau-
tions accordingly. We have hooped and fished the mizen-
mast with one of the iron fish plates for the fore or main
mast, and tie-bolted the beams, all of which I consider
now in a state of security. The men who were hurt are
doing well. Two waterspouts appear,-(1 in the squall."
