The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were 8,000 or
9,000 bales, at firm rates. Shares were extensively dealt in
again.
According to advices from the interior of Russia, very dif-
ferent weather must have been experienced there to that we
have had in this country, the drought having been excessive.
Grain in consequence had risen at Odessa. In Belgium rice,
and other farnaceous products, are to be admitted free of
duty until the harvest.
An instance of the injurious effect of excessive protection
upon the prosperity of a country is afforded by a comparison
made as to the cost of railway iron in France and Belgium,
and from which it appears that there is a difference of 914
per cent. against France. This is the effect of preventing
foreign supplies being brought into fair competition with
home products.
The necessity of repressing speculation in every mere
" bubble of the day" that courts the gaping multitude, be-
gins to be felt by those who, undoubtedly to some extent,
have profited by the furor—viz., the brokers; and it is be-
lieved that formal discountenance will be given by the Com-
mittee of the Stock Exchange to all dealings in scrip
not issued. Present profits, indeed, should not be the guiding
star of the brokers and jobbers, for the loss of a single day,
by the failure of clients, as we could illustrate by nume-
rous examples, would shear off the profits of many a
toilsome year.
There is an arrival from Sydney, but the accounts (to

MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of Wheat, co ,stsvise as well as
by land carriage and sample, have been seasonably large,
though not to say extensive, while they have principally
consisted of new parcels. Our advices from the most ifn pur-
tent grain districts being of a favourable character, ald the
show of samples being good, we have to report a very inac-
tive demand for English Wheat, at bareiy, but at nothing
quotable beneath, the depresion in va:ue noticed on last
market day. The imports of Foreign Wheat e-ritinue on a
moderate scale. To-day exceedingly little was doing, either
in free or bonded sorts, yet prices r.led ab ut stationary.
Very little Barley, either English or Foreign, was offering.
About 100 quarters of new so;d at from 28s to 30s per
quarter. The Malt trade was again very steady, and last
week's quotations were well supported. Oats, owing to the
abundance of foreign, sold heavily, at somewhat drooping
figures. Beans were more plentiful than of late, and the
turn lower. Nearly the whole of the Peas offering were
of the present year's growth. Their quality was very good.
White boilers sold at 38s to 40s ; Maples, 37s to 39s ; and

. .
Hog, 36 to 383 per quarter. The Flour trade was very
dull, and ships' marks were is per 2801bs lower.

TO THE EDITOR t.).F THE SUN.
founde,d my remarks upon the Leamington Stakes
from the list of ,'acceptances published in the Racing Calen-
dar. No declaration of Corranna, Yardley, or another horse
being scratched has been made.
This is my answer to the pompous, and, allow me to add,
almost unintelligible letter, signed " G.H.W.," which ap-
peared in your paper of yesterday.—Your obedient servant,
TELEGRAPH

P.S.—I suppose " G.H.W." alludes to the Leamington
Stakes, although he calls them the Wolverhampton Stakes,
seeing the latter have been run these three weeks past.
London, Sept. 3, 1845.

STATR or TRADF.—The woollen trade of Glou-
cestershire has not been so flourishing for a number of r ars as
it has bee.. of late, and is at t he presea time ; and the abundant
promise of fru is of the earth will tend to continue this happy
state of revived prosperity. A Forest of Dean Correspondent
informs us that" the coal trade is very brisk in the forest, not
an able-bodied man being out of work, and the prospect of next
winter is that coal will not be had for money, to furnish a supply
for the demand.'— Gloucester Journal.

A WOMAN ROASTED ALIVE BY A QUACK DOCTOR.
—The following horrible event is said to have occurred very
recently in the parish of Kinault, Flanders rh,,rt time
ago, a woman suffering from a rheumatic disorder consulted an
itinerant quack doctor, who found means to put an end to
her sufferings with all the forms which the most atrocious
barbarity could have imagined. '1 he following is, we be-
lieve, an exact report of his verbal prescription. " The part
affected must be covered with a mixture compounded of
brandy and gunpowder in a state of ignition ; two persons
must hold the woman till the perfect combustion and ex•
tinction of the mixture, and are to pay no attention to the
cries uttered by her, for if a radical cure is to be effected, it is
necessary that the action of the fire should take place on the
whole surface in a state of disease. Fear nothing ! All will
go well I Adieu 1" This ordonnance, made with that affecta-
tion of gesture and language familiar to this class of mounte-
banks, was executed to the letter, and even with a slight
addition, for in order to compel their victim to be silent, the
barbarous assistants brutally di,figured the face of the un-
happy woman in different places during the execution of the
prescription. After this operation, which only lasted cne hour,
there remained but an inenimate corpse. The skin of the
thighs and abdomen were completely peeled off, and the flesh
charred and blackened. The body was hastily buried, and en-
deavours made to stifle any reports of this act of inhuman
cruelty getting into circulation; but the Procureur du Roi
having been informed of the affair, sent a surgeon, who, after the
exhumation and inspection of the body, declared the woman
had been roasted to death.— Gazette Medicale Beige.
THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER.—On Monday many of
our friends of the barrel were up and doing in various parts of
this county, and we understand they found an average quan-
tity of birch, with the sporting qualities of wild and strong on
the wing. Of course the shoot►eg was not general, as Many

POWER-LOOM WEAVERS' STRIKE.—Fi iday, a large
body of !the female weavers connected with the power-loom
factory of Messrs. Martin and Cochran, in Bishnp.etreet, An-
derston, struck work for an advance of wages, or, as they say,
to endeavour to induce their employers to pay according to the
same ratio as other manufacturers of similar fabrics in and
around Glasgow. The strike occasioned considerable excite-
meet in the locality where it occurred ; and during the day
Captain 111`Kay and a party of the Anderston police patrolled
near to the work to prevent any breach of the peace. For-
tunately, however , the conduct of the females who had left the
work along with their tenters, was so peaceable and orderly,
that the services of the police were altogether unnecessary.
In the afternoon a numerous assemb'age of the weavers took
place on the banks of the Clyde, near to Govan, and the pro-
ceedeeas, io the fir in of a imbiic

THE ASYLUMS FOR THE HOUSE-

LESS POOR.

A special meeting of the Marylebene Board of Guardians was
field yesterday to take into consideration what course it would
be must advisable to adopt to resist the mandate of the Poor-law
Commissioners for fot ming Marylebone into a union with the
other parishes, under the title of the North-Western Metropo-
litan District. _ _

Mr. George Daniel, churchwarden, was unanimously called
to the chair ; and not only was there a full attendance of the
Board, but numbers of the rate-payers were present, who
seemed to take a very lively interest in the proceedings. A
very strong determination was expressed by all the speakers to
resist the proposed union, and the following resoluttoLs were
unanimously adopted

" That this Board do in the strongest terms protest against
the parish of Marylebone being combined with other parishes
in the formation of an asylum district, as submissive of the
unity and independence of the parish, destructive of the rights
and privileges of the rate .payers, end foreign to the general
spirit of the local Act, by which the self-government of the
parish has been hitherto preserved.
" That a communication be made to the vestry-clerk to call a
special meeting of the vestry, to co-operate with the directors
and guardians in preserving the independence of the parish."
Mr. BusHELL said it was his intention to have moved a re-
solution, calling on other parishes to co-operate with them in
resisting this order ; but, on second consideration, he thought
it would be impolitic, as the other parishes would be glad to
get Marylebone into union with them for the sake of their
funds.

Mr. MICHIE said he had intended testing the opinion of the
Board by calling on the churchwardens, directors, and guar-
dians, for each them to attsch his signature to a document,
declaring they would not form any part of the Committee of
Management for the proposed Asylum ; but he thought the
unanimous feeling of that. Board showed there was t.o mistake
in the matter. He would put the question verbally, com-
mencing with the Chairman.
The (11.afitsdase was delighted in having the opportunity of
answering the question. He begeed emphatically to say that
he would refuse in any way, either directly or indirectly, to
act under the au7ho:lty of the Poor-law Commissioners,
and no power they possessed should compel him to do so.
The directors amt guardians, severaily in succession, gave
expression to similar sentiments: and a requisition to the vestry
clerk having been drawn up and signed, calling on him to con-
vene a spec,al meeting on the subject forthwith, the Board hav-
ing sat several hours, separated.
.At a meeting of the Board of Directors and Guardians of
St. Pancras parish, held yesterday, to receive the order from
the Poor-law Commissioners for comprising that parish in the
" Central Metropolitan Asylum District," less determined
opposition to the order was manifested, though the measure was
strongly objected to. The following restitution was adopted:—
" That, considering the extent of the parish, the amount of its
rental, and the const quent sum of money it will have to con-
tribute to the Central Metropolitan Asylum District, as com-
pared with those of the other parishes in union comprised in
the district, this Board is of opinion that the parish is justly
entitled to be reprefented by five instead of three guardians, as
provided by the order of the Poor-law Commissioners, dated
August 21, 1845."
Mr. Citoucir observed, that if he thought it possible suc-
cessfully to resist the measure, he would be the first to afford his
assistance for that purpose ; but as there KM no means of
effecting that object, the only course they had was to obey a
bad law. He thought that a great many more paupers would
be induced to come to London, and believed that the act would
tend to offer a premium to the idle in the country.
Mr. DOUGLAS stated that he believed this measure was but
the first step to do away with boards of guardians altogether.
The Secretary was directed to forward a copy of the resolu-
tion to the Poor-Law Commissioners.

A VALUABLE RELIC—PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD'S
PLAID.-Between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning
the house of Mrs. M 1 Nish, on the Paisley-road, was entered by
thieves, and a number of.articles of wearing apparel, &c., were
taken away, including, it is said, the identical plaid which
Prince Charles Edward wore when he passed through Glas-

gow 100 tears age. A person named David Stuppart, since
apprehended with part of the stolen property in his possession,
amongst which was the plaid of the itoyal Stuart tartan, was on
Friday brought up at the Gerbals Police-court, and remitted
to the Sheriff for trial. The royal relic, which has been
handed down as an " heir-loom" from family to family, is
highly prized, and, we understand, its present owners would
not part with it for money.— Glasgow Argus.
ORNITHOLOGY.—THE GULL —The gull is well
known for its voracity, but we think the following proof of
its gormandising power, and gloat calibre of gullet, is not un-
worthy of being noticed; it occurred in Easnale, and may be
relied on .—Two of these birds were a few days ago seen in
fierce combat, when, by a desperate effort, one of them got
hold of its antagonist by the head, actually swallowing it so
far that it could not extricate itself. When in this plight
they were milled upon, taken, and actually pulled asunder

A letter ff mu Copenhagen, of the 23d ult., says:—
We have received intelligence from Reikeavik. the capital of
Iceland, which states that the session of the first Althing (States-
General) ever held in that island was opened on July 1, by
Count de Bardenfleth, Grand Bailly, the King's Commissioner.
The members afterwards gave a grand dinner to the Count,
and in the evening the town was illuminated."

" TRUTH WITHOUT hIYSTERY. '—A young buck of
the soap lock order, who wore an unshaven face, because, as
he said, it looked " foreign," lately accosted a Yankee at one,of
our hotels, as follows :—" I say, fellow, some individuals think
I am a Frenchman, and some take me for an Etabene—now,
what do you think I am ?"—" Why, I think you're a fool,"
replied Jonathan.

NOVEL FOOT RACE.—On Tuesday a running-
match, which from its novelty, attracted a good many persons,
came off on Waterloo-bridge. The contending parties were
Baker and Martin, the former to cover 100 yards forward, and
the latter to run 75 yards baekwards. The stakes were 2/.
The distance being measured, Martin took his position 25 yards
in advance of his opponent. When the signal was given Martin
made for the goal with extraordinary dexterity, while his op-
ponent strained every nerve to overtake him, but without suc-
cess, and Martin ran in the winner by several yards.
SUICIDE OF A LADY AT BRAINTREE-lIEATII.—On
Friday morning last, about eleven o'clock, the family of Mr.
James Trott was thrown into tie greatest excitement, in con-
sequence of discovering the body of Miss Sarah Trott, aged
fifty years, hanging by a silk handkerchic-f, in a stable upon
Mr. Trott's premises. The deceased was a respectable in-
habitant of the town of Romford, connected with her two
sisters in a scholastic establishment, which they have conducted
for many years. Deceased had been very unwell for a length
of time, and about a week back left her home upon a visit to
her brother at Braintree-heath, for the benefit of her health.
An inquest was held upon the body on Saturday afternoon,
before C. C. Lewis, Esq., and a respectable jury, at the
Travellers' Inn, Braintree-heath, to inquire into the cause of
her death. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased de-
stroyed herself, being at the tibiae labouring under insanity.—

Shooting on the Lammer Moors has been, on the
whole, good this season. Many of the birds are, however, in
a very diseased state, in fact, perfectly unfit to be used as food.
The cause is generally considered to be tapeworm ; but, judging
from the ulcerated appearance of the throat and lungs, it is
more likely to be a species of pulmonary consumption.—Ber-
wick Warder.
-HAMPTON CODET PALACE.—An inquest was held
on the 2d instant before Mr. F. J. Manning, the coroner of
the Queen's Household and of the verge, on the beady of an
elderly mhiden lad named Caroline Georgiana Fitzgerald,
who died tidddrerWiiernartinents in the palace on the 29th
ultimo. '1 he deceased had been in the enjoyment of perfect
health, ineil struck with apoplexy, which terminated her life.
'I he jury returned a verdict of " Natural death." The de-
ceased will be lamented not only by her friends, but also by the
poor of the neighbourhood, amongst whom, and for whose
benefit, she was actively engaged in works of ekarity.
CITY or LONDON REGISTRATION.—We are in-
formed that Mr. Thos. J. Arnold is appointed revising barrister
fur the London lists, and he intends to hold his court for the

FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last evening Mr. Payne held
an inquest at the Newcastle Coffee-house, St. Mary-at-Hill,
Upper Thames-street, on the body of Louisa Frisby, aged 23.
From the evidence of the witnesses, it appeared that on
Sun-
day night last, at about nine o clock, the deceased was standing
on one of th 3 lighters upon which steam-boat passengers reirch
the shore at Fresh-wharf, London- bridieer, when the Ruby,
Gravesend steam, b. at, arrived, ex eessi ve!y crowded. Deceased
appeared to endeavour to reach the shore to avoid the crowd
corning from the steamer, when she fell over the side into the
water. It was supposed she thought she was standing in the
rniti.d!e of the lighter, and that she might walk with safety.
Efforts were made to save her, but unsuccessfully, and her
body was not found until the foilowing day. Sc-,me of the wit-
nesses, passengers by tie Ruby, stated, in answer to questions
from the jury, that he boat was frightfully crowded, there being
from 1,600 to 1,700 persons on board. They had a dreadful
passage to London, and at Grehnhithe more wanted to get on
board, but the passengers pulled away the boards by which
they tried to embark, and prevented them. One of the men
employed at the wharf, and the superintendent and others,
stated that in order to protect the public, the lighters were
surrounded by a rope ; but this two of the passengers posi-
tively denied. The superintendent said there were no more
than 862 passengers on the Ruby. After a great deal of con-
tradictory evidence relative to the precautions taken to guard
against accidents, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
death."
ANGLING EXTRAORDINARY.—A brandling of an
unusual EiV3 ri as caught on Thursday, the 21st August, by
Mr. George Foster, innkeeper, of this town, in the river Eden,
a little above \Vetheral. It was full nine inches in length, and
weighed 4 ounces, and what is considered more truly astonish-
ing is, that the milt weighed, after the fish had been caught a
day or two, 2:3 grains. Mr. W. Elltet, of Wetherel, who has
been the most successful fisher on the Eden, and who has had an
experience among the " finny tribe" for 65 years, declares it to
be the largest he has ever seen in the course of his piseatory
rambles.— Car isle Patriot.

K WATER IVOR KS COMPANY.—A general
meeting of the .proi.rietcrs of this Company was held yester-
day, at twelve o'clock, at the George and Vulture Tavern,
St. Michael's-alley, Cornhill, .111 r. Sheriff Hunter in the
chair. The report read by the Secretary set forth that con-
siderable improvement had taken place in the affairs of the
Company during the past year, in consequence o which the
Directors were enabled to recommend an increase of 10s.
dividend on each share. It also stated that the works were
generally in good condition, but that as yet there was con-
siderable deficiency in pipes and other convenit nets to meet the
growing demandi made on the services of the Company for the
supplies of water. In order to meet this, without trenching on
the profits applicable to the payment of the dividenes, the
Directors recommended that 4,0001. be raised as additional
capital in the shape of a loan, at four per cent. interest. The
