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 war:
ket this -week, have Leen very small. The show of
Wheat of home preduce was small, yet the demand for
that article was in a sluggish state, at Monday's
tions. For the best fine foreign Wheat the inquiry `vas
somewhat active. In other parcels next to nothing' was
doing. So little Barley and Malt were offering that the
Peasrates were nominally unaltered. Oats, Beans, and Pe
were held at very high prices. -quota-

We had a very limited supply of Beasts, yet the Beef
trade was in a sluggish stete, at barely Monday's quo-
tations. There was no Foreign stock offering, While the
arrivals from Scotland did not exceed 40 Scots. Tbe
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 bad 5

STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TitArtiog
The hosiery trade, in every branch, is gradually ge;des

SECOND CHAMBER OF TILE STATES GENERAL,
Tai: llnorm, NOT. 11.—The Central Section brought
tIP the report on the propee a I address in answer to the
Ring'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 Ring 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
Feint 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-
heat 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
enange 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 death of fourteen human beings in 1643, no
similar calamity has occurred on the Thames that has
created so painful a sensation in the pubic 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.
Mr. Jacob Samuda was of the Jewish persuasion, and
his remains were removed yesterday from his father's
residence, in South-street, Finsbury, whither they had
been taken on Tuesday evening, to the Jewish burial-
ground, at the east end of the metropolis, for interment.
• It having been intimated to the Coroner on Tuesday
afternoon, that in all probability some competent engi-
neer would be directed by Government to examine the
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 the jury, many of whom, during the day,
went over her.
It is said that the cause of the sad disaster has been
ev elearly ascertained. It has been already stated in the
idence of Mr. Low, the engineer, that the pressure of
sham lifted the pipe out of the socket of the cylinder,
91cugh it was guarded, and caned in, in the usual way
with the gasket and hemp. How that could be effected
fuzzled many, but on the
pipe being examined it was
rud that it had no beading or flange to resist the
consequence was, that as soon as the steam
th 7 increased after the vessel was moored on her return,
di;Pressure was too great for the joint, and its imme-
displacing was the result.

TON RussELL.--It is
which haprene
our painful duty to record a most distressing accident
dil at Kingston Russell oil Friday last, the
Bth instant, and
which has suddenly plunged a respec-
and M
table famy into deep affliction. It appears that Mr.
rs. John Homer, of Martinstovvn, had been spend-
ing that day with her :mother, Mrs. Wood; her sister,
Mrs. T. Sansom;
her brother, Mr. George J. Wood,
of
Adininston; and a party of friends at the house of Mr.
Thomas Sansoin, at Kingston Russell; on departing
about eleven at night in their four-wheel carriage, the
night being dark, shortly after leaving the house, the
horse went too near the bank, and the vehicle was over-
turned, the splashing-board striking Mrs. Homer's chest,
and, melancholy to relate, in a few moments she breathed
her last. Mr. H. escaped uninjured. The servant man,
who had been sent on before with a lanthorn to open
the 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
"Accidental death" returned.--Sherburne Journal.
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 larger 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
hands of dealers. Inferior horses were selling at very
low prices. Of neat cattle also the supply was large,
of all descriptions. Much business was done in store
hews, at good prices, in consequence of the continued
absence of frosts. For fat cattle and incalvers there was
also a pretty good demand, at average prices ; but for
old and inferior beasts there was scarcely any demand,
and such were sold at very reduced prices. Many
dealers have told us that they never before saw so large
a supply at this fair. As usual, a number of desperate
characters were on the look out for prey, but we have
not heard of any extensive robbery or fraud ; the police,
both town and county, were on the alert, and probably
their presence may have prevented the commission of
erime.—NottinghaM Review.
We can state, from authority, that the anxiously
wished for Brevet will take place in January next.—
