MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY)

CORN-EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
In consequence of the strong adverse gales the arrivals
of English, and, indeed all other grain, up to our mar-
ket this week, have been very small. The show of
Wheat of home produce was small, yet the demand for
that article was in a sluggish state, at Monday's quota-
tions. For the best fine foreign Wheat the inquiry was
somewhat active. In other parcels next to nothing was
doing. So little Barley and Malt were offering that the
rates were nominally unaltered. Oats, Beans, and Feas
were held at very high prices.

SMITHFIELD.
We had a very limited supply of Beasts, yet the Beef
trade was in a sluggish state, at barely Monday's quo-
tations. There was no Foreign stock offering, while the
arrivals from Scotland did not exceed 40 Scots. The
numbers of Sheep were very small, owing to which the
demand for them was firm, at very full prices. The
Veal trade was excessively dull, and the rates had a
downward tendency. In Pigs very little was doing, at
late rates. Mulch Cows were a mere drug, at from 161
to 191. each.

Although the supply of Hops continues rather exten-

quotations is well supported. The duty has not yet been
declared, but it is estimated at 140,000/. The following

SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL.
THE HAGUE, Nov. 11.—The Central Section brought
up the report on the proposal address in answer to the
King's speech.
There was a very great difference of opinion on the
course of which the Chamber should pursue ; various
resolutions were proposed, but nothing was decided. In
the evening sitting of the 12th, which lasted till mid-
night, several of the proposals made on the preceding
day were rejected, among them was one to present an
address from the Second Chamber alone.
Before the debate begun a letter from the Minister of
the Interior was read, stating that the Second Chamber
decided that it could not modify its proposed address, so
as to lead to an agreement between the two Chambers.
The King would not think it proper to accept an answer
from one Chamber separately. The King, says the
Minister, having; addressed his speech to the States
General, naturally desires that, conformably to
to the practice which has been invariably followed for
thirty years, the answer should be presented to him in
the name of the two Chambers, which, together form
the national representative. The presentation by each
Chamber separately of an answer, which on an important
Point should be in opposition to that of the other Cham-
ber, would lead to difficulties without any object, and
Without any satisfactory result for the public good. The
Second Chamber decided that it is incompetent to pre-
sent a separate address.
Another proposal having an equal number of votes
is to be discussed on Wednesday ; this proposal is to
Submit to the First Chamber an address in which a
change shall be made in the 15th paragraph.

THE LATE STEAM-BOAT ACCI-
DENT AT BLACKWALL.
Since the fearful explosion that happened on board
the Victoria, Hull steam-ship, and occasioned the almost
immediate us death of fourteen humbeings in 1843, no
similar calamity has occurred on the Thames that has
created so painful a sensation in the public mind, more
particularly in the engineering world, as the sad catas-
trophe that befel the Gipsy Queen steamer on Tuesday
evening. Of the five poor fellows not killed on the spot
two died on Wednesday in the London Hospital, named
William Riley, foreman to Messrs. Samuda,-- and John
Donovan, engineer. We have further to record the
death of Charles Mills, another of the engineers, who
expired in that establishment yesterday morning, making
the tenth individual who has lost his life by this ex-
plosion,

having been intimated to the Coroner on Tuesday
afternoon, that in all probability some competentneenNe-
neer would be directed by Government to extmi
construction of the pipe, the giving way of which at the
spikes and fossit joint led to the deplorable occurrence,
the vessel at an early hour yesterday morning, was
hauled into the import dock of the East India
.Docks,
and moored alongside the quay, ready to receive any
such party or went over her.thejury, many of whom, during the day,
It is said that the cause of the sad disaster has been
aelecuarlY ascertained. It has been already stated in thef
-I..'enee of Mr. Low, the engineer, that the pressure o
'teats lifted the pipe out of the socket of the cylinder,

found that it had no beading or flange to resist the

h "ue consequence was, that as soon as the steam
the increased after the vessel was moored on her return,e
`.tte pressure was too great for the joint, and its imm -
dia,te displacing was the result.

safferers, unless promptly attended to, is likely to be

%%paiFATAL ACCIDENT AT KINGS—TON RITSSELL.—It is
nful duty to record a most distressing accident
Which happened at Icingston Russell on Friday last, the
ott instant, and which has suddenly plunged a respec-
sble family into deep affliction. It appears that Mr.
!titlid Mrs. John Homer, of Martinstown had been spend-
-1...g that day with her
.mother, Mrs. Wood; her sister,
'sirs. T. Sansom; her brother, Mr. George J. Wood, of
A,v_dminstn; and a party of friends at the house of Mr.
,ucurlas Sansom, at Kingston Russell; on departing
;lighabout eleven at night in their four-wheel carriage, the
t being dark, shortly after leaving the house, the
Eorse went too near the bank, and the vehicle was over-
turned, the splashing-board striking Mrs. Homer's chest,
saud, melancholy to relate, in a few moments she breathed
her last. Mr. H. escaped uninjured. The servant
,W,ho had been sent on before with a 'anthem to Open
„Lae gate leading into the turnpike, hearing a loud crash
instantly ran back, and the lifeless corpse was conveyed
to the afflicted relatives, at Mr. Sansom's residence, so
suddenly turned into the house of mourning. The de-
ceased lady was in the prime of life, and has left a family
of young children. An inquest was held on the body the
following day, before John Wallis, Esq., coroner, and a
respectable jury of the neighbourhood, and a verdict of

LENTON CATTLE FAIR.—The annual fair, for the
sale of horses and neat cattle, was held at Lenton on
Monday last. There was a large supply of horses—
Much larer than usual—but they principally consisted
of hacks: only a few really good carriage horses and
carters were shown, but they fell invariably into the
11, ands of dealers. Inferior horses were selling at very
low prices. Of neat cattle also the supply was large,
.._43r all descriptions. Much business was done in store
wets, at good prices, in consequence of the continued
aihsence of frosts. For fat cattle and incalvers there was
also a pretty good demand, at average prices ; but for
Otcl and inferior beasts there was scarcely any demand,
situd such were sold at very reduced prices. Many
ucalers have told us that they never before saw so large
4 SuPPly at this fair. As usual, a number of desperate
charaeters were on the look out for prey, but we have
ti ot heard of any extensive robbery or fraud ; the police,
f,eth town and county, were on the alert, and probably
ere presence may have prevented the commission of
