On Thursday the 2d inst. a sloop belonging to
Fiadhorn, passing through the Caledonian Canal with a
cargo of herrings and pease for Liverpool, was driven on
shore in a squall, near Lochend ; the cargo was saved, bat
the vessel is a wreck.—lnverness Journal.

On Wednesday last, as one of the men in the
employment of Mr. JOHN WOODIIEAD, of Lower Hagg,
near Holmfirth, dyer, was raking a blue vat on the premises,
to which additional heat had just been applied, he, shocking
to relate, brought to the surface of the vat the corpse of
one of his shopmates, who, by some accident, unknown to
any one on the premises, had fallen into it. The state of
the body may be better conceived than described. The
name of the unfortunate man is BENJAMIN SHAare ; he
resided at Lockwood, and was in the 52d year of his age.
We understand that the men had been drinking on the
Tuesday evening, when SHARPE beca.ne intoxicated, and
thus met a horrid death unnoticed by his companions.—

THE CORN MARKET.-tWe are sorry to
observe that the corn markets appear to be rapidly rising
in Mark-lane the advance is very extraordinary. Some
attribute this unexpected change to a reported failure in
the produce of the last harvest, whilst others allege that
the great corn-dealers, and particularly those who trade in
the foreign article, are speculating for its introduction into
the home market duty free. Among the different conjec-
tures, it is worth while to state one fact,—namely, that the
French Government have recently been large purchasers of
grain in the Dantzic market, and are said to have their
agents at this moment in London. Grain is known to be
scarce on the Continent, which has experienced as variable
a season as we have in this country. Its cultivators do not
now reckon on a market in England, and consequently
limit their growth much nearer lr their own d nd.—

The cotton trade in this district hag during
the last few weeks been rather unpromising. Scarcely
any sales have been made either in fine or coarse yarns;
and prices are consequently nominal. A considerable
quantity, both of yarn and power-loom cloth, has already
been stocked, and it is accumulating every day. The
principal yarn taken by the manufacturers at present is
from No. 60's to '7o's for some peculiar fabrics. A num-
ber of the warping-mills have been stopped both in cotton
works and warehouses. One person of experience states
that he has not seen us much yarn and cloth in the ware-
houses for four years. The power-loom manufacturers arc
working to great disadvantage ; besides few sales being
effected, grey goods are declined 3d. a piece. It isgenerally
pronounced a poor trade, and does little more than cover
prime cost, except in those cases where the proprietors
spin the yarn they manufacture, and save the intermediate
agency. Little improvement is expected before the spring
market; and were it not fur the heavy capital invested in
manufactories, and the damage that ensues to the machinery
from the cold and damp of winter, many proprietors assert
they would cease working for the remainder of the year.
Whatever vivacity may prevail in Lancashire, it is gene-
rally pronounced it has not extended to this quarter.—
