LOSS of the ORION :and SYRIAN.
The following was received at Lloyd's yesterday
" Admiralty,llec. 27,.1844.

" am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty, to send you herewith, for the informa-
tion of the Committee for managing the affairs of
Lloyd's, an extract of a letter from Captain Sir John
Marshall, of her Majesty's ship Isis, dated Icbaboe,
16th October last, reporting the loss and rescue of the
crew of the barque Orion, Almond master, of Scar-
borough, bound to Ichaboe, wrecked on the 20th July,
150 miles north of lehaboe ; and also of the stores of the
Syrian brig, belonging to Peterhead, which vessel was
lost about twelve miles north of Ichaboe, on the 28th
September—crew saved.
(Signed) "JOHN BARROW.
" To W. Dobson, Esq., Lloyd's."
(Extract.)
"Lieutenant Trollope, whom I had dispatched in a
small cutter to the rescue of the crew of the Orion
barque, Caultas Almond master, of Scarborough, of.
315 tons, bound to lehaboe, and wrecked on the 20th
July, about 150 miles north of Ichaboe, returned to this
ship on the 13th instant, having happily succeeded,
though with great peril to himself and his little crew of
six men, in bringing away her entire crew of 16 persons,
after patiently and perseveringly hovering at the, back
of an exceedingly heavy surf during ten days, watching
for a smooth sea. I have, however, to lament the loss
of two excellent seamen of her Majesty's ship under my
command, who were unfortunately drowned by the up-
setting of the cutter's boat in the surf ; one of them, it
is feared, was bitten by a shark.
" Lieut. 'rrollope's conduct in carrying out my orders
amidst appalling difficulties claims my acknowledgments,
and I have much pleasure in deferentially submitting
this officer's merits to their Lordships' notice.
" The boats of the Isis also succeeded in saving the
stores of the Syrian brig, James Law master, of 184
tons, belonging to Peterhead, which vessel was wrecked
about 12 miles north of this on the 28th ult. ; crew
saved."

THE LATE FIRE IN GUILFORD-
STREET.
DISCOVERY OF ANOTHER BODY.
The firemen o' the London Brigade, under the direc-
tions of Morris, the foreman of the Holborn Station,
completed their task yesterday of turning over the
immense mass of burnt ruins, and on examining a pile of
embers, in the north-western corner of the back parlour,
they discovered the perfect skeleton of a human foot, and
in the course of the morning they fuand the shin and
part of the thigh-hone, as well as what spears to be an
arm-bone and part of a scalp. The finding of these re•
mains has strengthened the rumours that there had been
improper conduct on the part of some parties, who' had
been plundering Mr. Fairey's wine-cellar. The discovery
has also given rise to the supposition, that a fifth party
must have been in the house fir some improper purpose,
although at present it is impossible to conjecture who the
ill-fated person could have been.

INQUEST ON MR. MAY OW, SOLI-

CITOR OF EXCISE.

Yesterday morning, at eleven, Mr. Mills, the De-
puty Coroner, held an inquest at the Friend in Hand
public-house, Colonnade-mews, Russell-square, on the
bady of Mr. Philip Weynell Mayow, aged 73, the well-
known and respected solicitor of Excise, of No. 54, Guil-
ford-street.

The jury haring viewed the body,
Susan Guy stated that she was housemaid to the de-
ceased. On Monday week he had a cold, and had since
remained at home. He was attended by Dr. Latham.
On Friday evening, at nine o'clock, she last saw him
alive in his bed-room, and he k‘ as then more cheerful
than usual ; and on Saturday morning she entered the
room for the purpose of lighting the fire, and became
alarmed at her master not speaking to her. She went
.and looked at him, and thought he was dead, and im-
mediately alarmed the house, and sent for medical a-
siStance
Dr. Latham, of Grovenor-street, stated that lie at-
tended the deceased from . Monday week for influenza
Witness had examined the body this morning, and found
the heart of ;he deceased very small, and soft. He would
not say that the late fire did not make any impression
upon the mind of the deceased, as he was a kind-hearted
man, although possessing great force of character.—
Verdict, " Natural Death."

very little doing till next week.

is 10,61$ puns 1,218 hhds.
Tus.—The market is very firm, and for Pouchong

minished imports this year. The stock of Tea in the
Dotted Kingdom is estimated at 39,500,0001b5. against
37,500,0001b5. at this time last year • and the consump-
tion of the year is considered to be year;
41,000,0001b5.

Common Congou is about lid per lb.
TALLOW.--P.Y.C. is 40s 3d to 40s 6d per cwt on the

SUGIAII.—The importation of West India has as-
ceedcd that of the former year by 1,752 hhds and tierces

has been large, exceeding that of the former season by

has been very good, the deliveries exceeding those of
1843 by upwards of 50,000 bags and 800 casks. The
quantity of Bengal imported has been excessive, ex-
ceeding that of 1843 by 81,535 bags and 868 casks.
For home consumption the quantity taken was 2,850
bags less, but of casks 484 more than last season.
REFINED.—The m•trket has a firm appearance for
Refined Goods; the home trade are disposed to increase
their stocks, and the supply is small, especially of the
low and middling descriptions ; Brown Lumps are 72s to
72s 6d, Standard Lumps 73s to 73s 6d; Tittlers, ordinary
to middling 72s to 73s 6d, good 74s to 755, fine 76s to
83s; Hamburgh Loaves 73s to 82s, double 83a to 90s, and

worth 68s, whereas Standard Lumps are only fetching
73s to 73s 6d per cwt. Bastards are not much wanted.
Pieces are in good demand, and prices rule firm. Treacle
is wanted ; boiled from West India Molasses has been
fetching ltbi 6d to 20s, patent 21s to 22s 6d, and golden
syrup 23s to 27s per cwt. In bonded Crushed Sugar
many contracts have been entered into for forward de-
livery at 30s 3d to 30s fid per cwt, even at which rates
the refiners are not free sellers. The market has a firm
appearance for Loaves.
MAIIRITIUS.—There has not been much inquiry by
private contract, but previous rates are supported ; on
Thursday, however, price§ will be put to the test by

public sale of 5,000 bags. Arrivals are on the increase
The quality of the Sugar is superior to that of last year...
EAST. INDlA.—Former prices are supported for 1114
descriptions of Bengal, and several purchases have been
made by private treaty ; the cheapest descriptions are
middling yellow. For public competition 4,000 bags 11,11 e

by the home trade to purchase West India Coffee. fro !
East India little variation has occurred. 'CO' Ceylo_
previous improved rates are sustained, and by private
contract several purchases made in good ordinary at' t 425
to 53s per cwt. In Plantation kinds the operations are
upon a more extended scale, at former terms. Webs
has been little called for, but at present it cannot be nor;
chesed upon lower terms. In Java very little doing, o'3'
Company's prices are little better than nominal, Th:
business done in this kind of Coffee has been very'
for some weeks. The value of Singapore, according' ill,
quality, is 30s to 42s per cwt. Holders of other Do'
India sorts are not inclined to press sales, prices
very low, Sumatra being worth only 20s to 245, an"
Padang 24s to 29s per cwt.

fetching 21d to 21d, Penang 21d to 2-ad, and l'Slalelof
2ild to 3ed per lb. The market has a firm appearao
for Lignea, and the purchases made by priSrea°

fine 65s to 66s per cwt. In some cases there are gene
of Ciunamon rather under the rates of the last quarterly
sale, but few purchasers are to be met with.
SALTPETRE.—The market has a firm appearance fot
rough, and the parcels disposed off privately have been
very full prices, common fetching 24s to 24s 6d, mid VI
to 25s 6d, good 26s to 26s 6d, and fine 27s to Vs 61
per cwt. The consumption has not been so mat',
as it was last year, and which is to be attribUte,'
to the low rates that have prevailed for
trate of Soda. English Refined has secured a fair sale
at 29.esto 29s 6d ; prices at the end of December, 180'
were 30s to 30s Gd.
NITRATE OP S')DA.—Holders are firmer, and requir!
12s to 13s per cwt in bond, but at present there has bee
little doing. The market is in a dull state for Guall°
and prices for African are going down.
CocnlNEAL.—There has been a good demand by pr.ir:
vale contract for Honduras, and the rates paid are
some cases rather above those previously quoted for billet.,
and silvers ; low and mid kinds are
_the most in requeli
and speculators are still turning their attention towel'
the article.
Immoo.—Speculators are still turning their attenril
towards East India. There has been a good business
transacted in Bengal, in consequence of the Inerchally,
accepting prices 2d to 4d per lb under those of ,t'!l/
October sale ; low and mid qualities are, however, OA
the most preferred. Other kinds of East India sell nror;

a fair business has been transacted on the spot; 'r
Of
Candle of first quality has been selling currently
40s 3d to 40s Gd per cwt ; but for forward delivery theo
arc few purchasers. In Town Tallow there has beer
good deal doing, but at the moderate rates of 40s Gd
4is per cwt, nett cash ; the market has been well sot;
plied. In the value of other kinds of Tallow there'
scarcely any alteration to notice.

RISE TN THE PRICE OF TimßEß.,—We are infornle,'
that the advance in the price of AMerican timber
within the last twelve months, has been "nearly 50 P.igi
cent. This extraordinary rise is attributed, to the stetyll
demand and the diminished stocks, caused by the gre j$
amount of shipping employed in thee guano trade."

which induced his friends to believe that he had4e;

reward for discovery, and which had already beeP ec,;
tensively circulated in the district, was handed to tl
Magistrate. In this it was stated that Mr. May was lU
seen on the night of the 9th instant, between the 1"0,j,
of ten and eleven, near the police-station in Chapel-Y ",4,
Spitalfields, by some person who knew him, and the $
lowing morning his hat and handkerchief were foond 5j
geld near the Twig Folly-bridges near the Angel our,
Crown, at Twig Folly. From that time nothing
ther could be ascertained respecting him, and it
added, that he was therefore supposed to have teen Orel
