pretty active, at full prices; other descriptions dull eale,
at last week's currency. Malting barley quite as well
sold. Oits and shelling ready sale, and late rates rather
exceeded. In beans or other grain no material alteration.

LIVERPOOL, OCT 25.—The wheat trade was languid,
and all descriptions of foreign barley supported the rates
of Tuesday. Good fresh new wheat-was not plentiful,
and brought full prices.
EXETER, OCT. 25.—Cattle—The supply moderate; we
notice but little alteration in price, nor was there any
novel feature in the market. Best beef 7s 6d to 8s per
acme; barreners, 5s ditto; good steers, 91 103 to 11/ each.
Cows and calves about the same as last week. A fair
supply of sheep; fat wethers,4id to 5d per lb; ewes, ifid
to 4id ditto. Keeping hogs, on an average, 30s each.
Pannier—Turkeys, 4s 6d to 6s each ; geese, 4s to
5s Gd each; ducks, 3s 61 to 5s per couple; fowls, 2s 6d
to 3s 9d per couple; pheasants, 5s to 5s 6d; partridges,
2s 6d to 3s per brace; roasters, 4s to 5s 6d each; hares,
2s 6d to 3s ditto; rabbits, is 8d to 2s per couple; butter,
lOid to Ild per lb.; eggs, 14 to 15 for ls. Corn Ex-
change—As far as can be judged of the state of things
up to this hour, the market is firm, and holders do not
press their samples on the market. For the beat new
wheat 5s per bushel has been made, and it is probable
that 5s 3d will be given before the market closes. Old
wheat sells sparingly at 5s 6d to 5s 9d per bushel. The
quotation for foreign wheat is entirely nominal, nothing
being done at the prices asked, and the factors declining
to take lower prices; the nominal quotation is, for red
French, 42A; and for Belgian white, 46s per quarter.

bushel. Oats 2s to 2s 2d ditto; fine flour, 29s to 31s
per sack.

article,, for which the re cantinas a brisk demand.
MANCHESTER, OCT. 24.—A fair business was done .`ll
this market for the xport trade, principally for India'
Both cloth and yarns, suitable to the Calcutta and Bore"
bay markets, have been smight after, and where trans-
actions have been effected, they have generally beou at
full or slightly advanced quotations. Rather more MI.

turing purpose in the home trade.
NOTTINGHAM.—The condition of the hosiery trade

being in a worse state as regards employment than the •
English.

all kinds of hosiery except the better sorts, and the
mand for fancy kinds is so great that large orders are
obliged to wait their making. Yarns and wools are

MELANCHOLY SHIrWRECK. A most distressing
shipwreck was made known at Lloyd's by a letter received
from Cap,tain Chadwick, master of the ship Solway, dafad
Quebec, October 6. The pat ticulars are briefly as follow•
On the 13th of last month, about six o'clock in the eveairt
when the Solway was in lat. 45 90, long. 40 7, a wreck W.ll
observed on the lee bow, and the master perceiving a
being on board, bore up with all expedition to render soli,
ance. She proved to be the George Lockwood, of Scar'
borough, and had apparently lost all hands, except one man'
who was lashed to the tafrail, and a corpse of a seaman NViill
hanging to the lower part of the wreck. Immediately nn
the Solway getting within reach her boats were sent along'
side. Although the sea was running very high at the tinta
and making clear breach over the wreck, the boat contrive
to take off the unfortunate sufferer, whom they found alln°s
dead and insensible. They distinctly ascertained there was
no other living person on the wreck, and her hull and cabin:
were full of water. The survivor being carefully a'n
tended to and food judiciously administered, in a day or to
he sufficiently recovered to give the following account Nee
wreck. It appeared that on the morning of the Bth ibe
the vessel was lying to, and all hands up aloft, except
master and boy, stowing away a sail, a sea struck the shit
throwing her on her beam ends and sweeping away bowsPrl,,.:
bulwarks, stancheons, boats, galley, and part of her broa,
side. The mater and boy disappeared amongst the wrecife
and were never seen afterwards. Those who were aloft were
all immersed, and three only contrived to keep hold of therigging and get on board again, but on the 9th one of thetri
was again washed overboard and disappeared. The sl' 1
tatr..lo
vors then lashed themselves to the iron bar on the
where they remained till the 13th without food or water.
One of them named George Mookman then expired. .".1,
death took place about two hours before the Solway carneilio
sight. The survivor was the mate of the brig; nab
is George Jarvis.

WOOTTON BASS eTT.—FOOLISH go
young men, near this place, were on Monday amusing
selves by talking of the execution of Rush and other rit'
ate -
derers, and agreed that one of the party should peraen,, the
criminal on the scaffold, another Jack Ketch, a third
tragedy
clergyman, and the remainder spectators. A real Olt
might have been the consequence. The criminal was pia pd
on a chair, a hand-bell tolled, the cord properly fixed T„..„ 1
the criminal's neck, and to a staple in a beam. The s".'"aay
being given " to draw the bolt," the executioner took aw."-cti
the chair, and the man swung off, but the staple to Ivuldi
he was suspended having luckily given way, he fell violen„
on the floor. The young man, a carpenter, looked 74
queer, the cord having been made uneasily tight, *13.4 is
was some little time before he quite recovered himself. "..1,5
