UDDEN DEATH.—One of those melancholy events
occurred yesterday morning. about ten o'clock, in Judd-
street, Brunswick-square. W. Clayton, letter carrier in
the London district office, having left his home about five
minutes previously, to commence his duties in the Post-
office, was seized in the street with a violent fit of cough-
ing, which appears to have ruptured one of the blood-
vessels. The vital fluid poured from his mouth in tor-
rents, and, in less than three minutes from the attack,
he was so reduced from exhaustion, that it became appa-
rent ho could not survive. A surgeon was in immediate
attendance upon him, by whose desire he was conveyed
in a cab to the North London Hospital, but the skill add
practice of that valuable institution could not benefit
him. He was dead before he arrived.
IMPORTATION OF 0 TSTERg -- Some arrivals
.have
taken place, within this day or two, of oysterfrom
Jersey, by the screw stealw)ra.w oohhare,cr the first
t
the
Channel been placed on the station to run i
between e
Channel Islands and the metropolis. 'There have on
some occasions been importations of preserved oysters
from Jersey, but this is, we believe, the first introduc-
tion of the article in their native and fresh state from
that place. It is understood that they are of British
taking, and that, in consequence of the beds on our
coasts having been affected by the late inclement wen-
ther, the demand in the market fur these supplies from
Jersey is considerable.

MARLBOROUGH-HOUSE.—The sale of the late
Quee❑ Dowager's effects was recommenced yesterday,
and will be continued this day. There will be no sale
to-morrow, but the mansion will bo again thrown open
next week for the disposal of the remainder of the royal
property.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
BIRMINGHAM. FEB. 14.—At Gloucester and Worcester
markets, on the 9th, owing to a greatly decreased supply from
the farmers, the wheat trade ruled firm, with the turn in favour
of the seller. Barley as dull and difficult to dispose of as ever.
Oats maintained their value, with a fair retail sale. Beans
rather cheaper. Peas held for former prices, with few buyers.
During the present week we have had an improved feeling in

unaltered.
Limited parcels of oats have changed hands at former prices.
Only retail sales reported in beans and peas. At this day's
market, although there was again a short supply of wheat from
the farmers, the trade ruled dull, at the above advance. No
improvement in any description of barley. Very little doing
in oats. We had few inquiries for beans or peas.
LOUGHBOROUGH, F. 14.—The supply of wheat and
barley at our market to-day was small; fine qualities of both
were fully la dearer ; secondary more in demand at full prices.
No alteration in oats or beans.
