WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET.-FRIDAY.

The arrival of grain to this day's market is exceed-
ingly small for the season of the year, and an advance of
from Is. to 2s. per quarter on new wheat was confidently
asked at the opening of the market. The arrival of
samples of a few cargoes near at hand, however, sup-
plied the demand, and prices closed about the same as
last week. Barley nominal. In Beans and Oats a little
business done without alteration in value.

LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday even-
ing, Mr. Newman, a young gentleman who a few weeks
since returned from India, where his father holds a high
situation, with Mr. Carter, the second mate of an India-
man, and Miss Bull, were on the river Lea in a wherry.
When off a place called the Sally Island, Mr. Newman
made an effort to kiss Miss Bull, which the letter resisted,
and the exertion on both their parts caused the boat to
upset, and all were precipitated into the water, and each
at first sunk to the bottom. Mr. Carter was the first
to ascend to the surface, but, owing to the extreme cold
of the water, he felt nearly paralysed. By great exer-
tion, however, he caught hold of Mr. Newman, when
about to sink a second time, and brought him on shore.
Unfortunately, Miss Bull had not been seen by either
after she had first fallen in, and she has lost her life.
Mr. Carter gave an immediate alarm, and the drags
being procured, every exertion was used to find the body
of the deceased, but two hours had elapsed before it was
discovered. In the meantime Mr. Newman had been
removed to the house of Mr. Weeks, the Jolly Anglers,
and put to bed, and all day yesterday he remained in a
very weakly state. He says that upon first dropping
into the water he was seized with cramp, and was,
therefore, incapable of using any exertion to save him-
self or others.

RATING OF OWNERS OF COTTAGES.—The overseer
of St. Mary's, Newmarket, having stated to the Poor-
law Commissioners that it had been resolved in vestry to
assess the owners of certain cottages in the parish to the
poor-rate instead of the occupiers : and inquired whether
the 59th Geo. 111., c. 12, sec. 19, applied to cottages let
weekly or quarterly for sums between 51. and 201. a
year, the Commissioners gave the following answer :
" The provision of the 59th Geo. 111., c. 12, sec. 19,
applies to rents, the rate of which, when estimated for
the whole year, would not be less than 61., nor more than
20/. a year—and to no other rents. As regards the let-
ting, if it be by the week, month, or quarter, or for any
other term less than a year, and the rent is within the
described limit, the provision of the Act applies. Or if
the letting is for a whole year, or any longer term, and
the rent being within the limit described is made pay-
able at periods shorter than three months, the provision
likewise applies."—Essex Standard.
THE FLOATING PIER AT BLACKFRIARS.—The free
watermen belonging to the steam-boat pier on the north
east side of Black friars-bridge, have just completed the
re-construction of that concern on a more safe and per-
manent plan, and it is now one of the most convenient
landing places on the river. The City authorities having
given the watermen leave to drive piles, to which the
pier is secured, there is no danger of its shifting, or of
the strongest tides altering its position. The new barge,
which is partially covered over as a protection from the
rain, is 80 feet in length and 14 feet in width, and cost
250/.

INSANITY AND PHRENOLOGICAL SCIENCE.—The
new work on mental diseases of the celebrated Pinel—
the new views in which have excited so much notice in
France—is to be translated in the Medical Times, with
notes by Dr. Costello, the friend of Gall.
BRIGHTON, SEPT. 27.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel
the Monkey, arrived off the pier this morning, from
Portsmouth, and having taken on board a large quantity
of bedding and furniture from the Pavilion, left in the
afternoon for Osborne House, Isle of Wight, where her
Majesty and Prince Albert will pass some time imme-
diately after the visit of Louis Phillippe to England.
The Royal children were taken to Kemp-town this
morning, and amused themselves on the beach there for
an hour, returning to the Pavilion at eleven o'clock. Sir
Robert Peel walked on the pier this morning, and in the
afternoon went out in a small boat, for a few miles' sail.
The sea was as still as a mill-pond. Accounts have been
received this morning of the continued improvement of
the health of Miss Peel, who will join her parents at
Brighton as soon as she has regained sufficient strength
to bear the journey.
DEPARTURE or MR. O'ColoiELL.—At seven o'clock
this morning Mr. O'Connell, accompanied by Mr. and
Mrs. John O'Connell, left Merrion-square, on their way
to Derrynane Abbey. They proceed to Limerick this
day, and to-morrow are to resume their journey. Mr.
D. O'Connell, jun., leaves town this evening, by the mail,
for the Abbey.—Dublin Evening Post of Thursday.
THE MARQUIS or DONEGAL.—We regret to learn
that very unfavourable accounts have been received in
regard to the state of health of the above Noble Marquis.
On Saturday his Lordship was removed to Ormian from
Calbra, where he has been residing during the summer,
and the worst fears are entertained as to the Noble Mar-
quis's ultimate recovery.
WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The first public meet this
season of his Royal Highness Prince Albert's pack of
hariers took place this morning, at Salt Hill. A goodly
number mustered on the "opening day," amongst whom
were Major-General Wcmyss and his son, Captain Sey-
mour, Charles Seymour, Esq., Sir John Barker, Edward
Jesse, Esq., and about 20 gentlemen and farmers of the
neighbourhood. The pack now consists of 28 couples,
in beautiful condition.
LORD Moararn.—This Nobleman, who is at pre-
sent on a tour in Scotland, visited Glasgow on Monday.
On Saturday his Lordship, accompanied by his sister, the
Duchess of Sutherland, and Lord and Lady Blantyre,
left Erskine House, on a visit to Lady Shaw Stuart, at
Ardgowan, and were to be at Inverary Castle yesterday
to join in welcoming home the Marquis of Lorn and his
noble bride. After the festivities at Inverary Castle
are concluded, Lord Morpeth intends, we believe, to ac-
company the Duchess of Sutherland to Dunrobin Castle.
