THE WEATHER.—A delightful change has taken
place since yesterday. The temperature is much
warmer, the barometer has risen nearly half an inch,
and during the day we have had gentle breezes from
the south-west, with bright sunshine. The " Queen's
weather," in fact, has returned to the gratification of
her Majesty and her Royal visitor.

DEATH OF AN INDIAN CIIIEF.—Joc-o-sot, the loway
Indian Chief, who was presented to Queen Victoria and
her royal consort, a few weeks ago, (lied of consumption
on the 3d instant, in Cleveland, Ohio, far from home and
relatives, but kindly provided for by a benevolent family
residing on the pier at Cleveland. He was thirty-five
years of age, and died with great resignation. There is
every reason to believe that he died of consumption,
brought on by the dissipations of civilised life.—New

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat this week have been
only moderate, hence the show of samples of that grain
here was comparatively small. The demand, however,
was inactive, yet previous rates were supported. In Fo-
reign Wheat only a retail business was doing, at about
Monday's quotations. Fine Malting Barley was a ready
sale, but no advance was noticed in prices. Superfine
season-made Malt goes off as it comes to hand, on quite
as good terms, but other kinds, as well as Beans and
Peas, were inactive, at late rates.
