THE CITY ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY.

THIS DAY.

This afternoon the Lord Mayor, aldermen, and
sheriffs, attended at Buckingham Palace to present
the address which had been unanimously voted to
her Majesty, congratulating her Majesty on the
happy escape of the Duke of Edinburgh from assas.
sination in Auszalia.

The civic procession was formed at Guildhall,
the members of the Corporation all wearing their
full official robes, andiron its arrival at the Palace
the deputation were conducted to the Royal pre-
sence. The address having, been read, her
Majesty graciously replied that she felt deeply
the sympathy her subjects have invariably
offered her iu times of painful anxiety, and the
address of the citizens of London on the present
occasion was one of the most welcome character.

The Lord Mayor, the mover and seconder of the
address, having had the honuur of kissing hands,
the deputation retired.

MARKETS.—(7 his Day.)

CORN.

This weather maintains prices, and with favourable ac-
counts of the growing crops, buyers operate with undimi-
nished caution. On the other hand, the farmers do not
offer any but scanty supplies, and prices of Eng-
lish produce aro consequently free from any appre-
ciable depression. Holders of foreign were also firm,
owing to the supplies to come forward between this and
harvest being regarded as by no means in excess of actual
requirements. Although, therefore, a slight decline is
occasionally observable, there is no general depression.
Al Mark-lane to-day the attendance was small, and the
trade slow. Scarcely any English wheat fresh up, and
rates firm.

SHOCKING DEATH.—A fatal accident occurred to
an artilleryman, named George Rowley, a private in the
B Battery, of the 4th Brigade, yesterday. The Battery
was on the march from Mansfield to Nottingham on Tues-
day morning, and having ridden on one of the waggons for
two or three miles, Rowleyattempted to get off for the put,
pose of walking. In doing this the spur caught the drag
chain, and threw him ou the ground, and before he could
recover himself the wheel passed over his chest. Medical
assistance was procured as speedily as possible, but the
poor fellow survived the accident only an hour and a half.
OPENING OF A NEW RAILWAY.—A new line of
railway, unimportant in a commercial aspect, but which
will be welcome to the tourist and the sportsman, was
opened yesterday. The line is that of the Tees Valley,
about nine or ten miles in length, which joins the Stockton
and Darlington Railway near Barnard Castle, and goes
to within a short distance of the celebrated High Force, a
magnificent waterfall. The scenery in the neighbourhood
is some of the most picturesque in England; while the
long stretches of moorland, on which grouse abound, which
extend into Westmoreland will afford ample pastime for
the sportsman.
THE POISON OF THE COBRA.—An extensive series
of experiments has recently been conducted in India by Dr.
Shortt to test the efficacy of a large number of reputed an-
tidotes to the poison of the cobra. These antidotes have
been brought forward by claimants for the prize of 1,750
rupees offered by the tlutrajah of Travancore for the dis-
covery of a specific, but not ono of them has boon found
to possess any counteracting influence over the rapid and
deadly action of the poison. In consoptence of communi-
cations which he has received from various parts of Europe,
Dr. Shortt has made arrangements with Dr. Tilbury Fox
to superintend any experiments which may be made in
England with the view of discovering any real antidote
which may be in the possession of any one in Europe.
Dr. Fox has boon supplied with an ample stock of active
poison, both in the liquid and crystalline form, for the
purpose. Dr. Shortt will finally test the virtues of any
specific which may possibly be discovered.
