COLONIAL.

TEA.—A fair amount of business has been transacted in
good black qualities, and full rates have been well sus-
tained.
SUGAR.—The market has been moderately active, and
previous prices have been well sustained for all descrip-
tions.
COFFEE.—Business has been languid, although late rates
ire well sustained, owing to the small quantities announced
for public competition.
RICE.—The demand has slightly increased, and previous
prices are u ell maintained for all qualities.
SALTPETRE.--Only a limited business has been done,
and quotations show no material variation.
TALLOW .—The market has been less active, and prices
have slightly given way. P.Y.0., on the spot, is quoted
475, and last three months' delivery, 47s 6d per cwt.

BARNET FAIR.—This great mart for cattle will
be held this year on the 4th, sth, and 6th of September. A.
large quantity of stock of all descriptions has already ar-
rived, and fresh herds and flocks announce themselves daily
in voices not to be mistaken. Among the human voices were
many which smacked of Gaelic or provincial Celtic, north
country brogue, or the rich full tone of the " West Coun-
tree." The cattle are depastured in fields adjacent to the fair
field, and many are within a mile or so of Barnet. There is
every reason to anticipate that the approaching fair will be
as extensive at least as last year. The cattle fair will be
held as usual on the fields on either side of Barnet-hill, and
the sheep fair near the Black Horse, Barnet-common. This
arrangement, which is a great convenience, was attempted
to be carried out last year, but owing to the obstinacy or
intractability of a "somebody" or other it was but partially
effected. The races will be on the last day, and from the
attractive programme issued by the stewards, will no doubt
be satisfactory to the gentlemen in "close fitting pants and
straight-brimmed hats, Newmarket-cut coats, and hands
sans genes." Great preparations are being made by the
inhabitants, to many of whom this fair is the nest-egg of
the year, for the accommodation of the throngs of dealers,
visitors, and idlers who attend it.—Hertford Mercury.
REGISTRATION FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.-L-Tho
forthcoming registration for the city promises to afford ample
work for the new barrister, who will be appointed in the
room of the late T. Y. M'Christie, Esq., to revise the list of
voters. The objections taken to the lists are unusually nu-
merous, particularly on the part of the Conservatives, who,
• d themselves with more earnestness to the work than
daunted by their defeat at the last election, have
napopthhieng
in any year since the reappearance of a Conservative agent
in the Registration Court. The following figures give the
objections taken and the claims made :

THE FIRE NEAR THE LONDON DOCKS.—Yester-
day Mr. John Humphreys, the coroner for East Middlesex,
held an inquest at the London Hospital respecting the
death of John Baddle, aged 52 years, who died from in-
juries received at the late great fire on the premises of
Messrs. Harrison and Co., the extensive sugar-refiners of
Dock-street, Whitechapel,
it appeared that the deceased
was a boiler-maker in the service of Mr. John Marshall,
the engineer of Colchester-street,
Whitechapel. The de-
ceased and a number of men, with their employer, were at
work on the roof', erecting a large cistern, and about
5 o'clock in the afternoon in question an alarm of fire was
raised at the lower part of the building. The men endea-
voured
to escape by descending- through the interior, but
they were compelled to retrace their steps. Several men
were lowered by means of a rope. The deceased endeavoured
to get down an iron waterspout, but it became much heated
by the flames from the windows. The deceased lowered
himself a few feet, when he was compelled to relinquish
his grasp, and fell about 30 feet, whereby he sustained very
extensive injuries. He was removed to the hospital, where
he d'ed on Sunday afternoon last. Mr. Marshall, who was
the last rescued from the roof, was examined at some
length, but could not tell hr.w the fire originated. The
Coroner here asked if there was any person in attendance
to show how the firo originated. The summoning officer
answered in the negative. The house surgeon said the de-
ceased died from the injuries to his legs, which were frac-
tured and lacerated. The inquiry WAS subsequently ad-
jouraccli
