NEurGATZ LEAIIENHALL,
There was rather more doing here, and prices were well supported

COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—The demand has rather fallen off, owing to the
very large arrivals. The fact is, however, that the contrary
winds have for a long time kept out supplies, and now they
are all coming in together. West India sorts are rather cheap
this week; 100 hhds. Barbadoes went at 54s to 55s 6d for
fine yellow, and at 49s to 51s for mid. East India Mauritius
has been dull of sale, and rather lower, and Bengal does not
support previous rates, being at present in but limited
demand.

REFlNED.—Standard lumps have been 67s to 68s per cwt.,
and brown grocery lumps 66s to 66s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.— These samples have been quite neglected.
COFFEE.—British Plantation sorts are held for about pre-
vious rates, but there is very little doing. Low and mid
sell best; ord to fine fine ord Jamaica has been taken at
72s to 75s per cwt. Ceylon has been dull of sale at 47s to
49s for low to good ord pale, but at auction 635 bags were
taken in at 47s for low good ord. Mocha has been in
wane demand, but the supply is very limited. Fair and mid
clean garbled has been sold at 62s to 66s per cwt. Java, and
foreign sorts generally, have been dull.
COCOA.—Trinidad has been taken in at 42s 6d to 44s 6d
per cwt.

SPICES.—There has been a good inquiry for Pimento, and
full prices have been obtained. Low to fine is 3d to 33/4d per
lb. A good demand has been experienced privately for Black
Pepper. Sumatra has realised 2%d to 2%d, and Malabar
31/8d to 3%d. 2,512 bags Penang partly sold at '2l/td to 3d
for damaged. Cassia Lignea'has been quiet.
RUM.—There is not much doing.
SALTPETRE.—There is a full supply of this article, and
prices, therefore, are rather heavy.
RlCE.—Less animation has prevailed in the demand for
this article, and consequently prices are barely so high.
Bengal, low to fine white, has realised 19s to 23s per cwt.
Abroad the quotations keep up.
TALLOW.—There has been a firm market for P.Y. C., which
is in good demand at 41s 3d to 41s 6d per cwt on the spot
for new, and at 405 9d to 41s for old. Town has been
41s 6d to 42s per cwt nett.
TEA.—The market has been steady, but there is not an
extensive business doing.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—We are most gratified
to hear that every prospect presents itself of this establish-
ment being highly patronised during the ensuing season,
boxes and stalls being already secured by her Majesty and
her Majesty the Queen Dowager; by the Dukes of Devon-
shire, Leeds, and Beaufort; 'by the Lords Chesterfield, Shel-
burne, Seaham, Munster, Glamis, Suffield, Erroll, Dupplin,
Pembroke, &c.; Count De &milks, Count Kielmansegge ;
Sirs C. Shakerl,y, Henry Webb, John Gerard; Hon. D. Pul-
teney ; Col. and Mrs. Ditch; Major White; Messrs. Baring,
Spencer Cowper, Errington; F. Gower, De Bathe, C. Seymour,
Cunningham, Williams, Salomons, Gold,smid, Arcedeckne,
Twiss, Clayton, Hume, Beech, &c.
NEw SHELLS-AND GRENADES.—Captain Billette, of
the French navy, has recently invented new shells and
grenades, which are said to have greater destructive powers
than any hitherto known. These projectiles, when fired at a
ship, do not pass through her side, making a simple hole, but
explode in the act of striking, and cause a large rent, and
spread a combust.tble matter in every direction which it is
impossible to extinguish, and the ship struck cannot escape
from being burnt. Captain Billette has been appointed to the
command of the Meleager, in which he is to go into all the
ports of France to form depots of his shells and grenades,
and give instructions as to the mode of using them to the
Marine artillerymen.
WOOLWICH, SEPT. 25.—(From our Correspon-
dent.)—The Black Eagle steam-vessel, Mr. S. B. Cook, master
commander, left Woolwich at twelve o'clock today, with Rear-
Admiral William Bowles, one of the Lords Commissioners of the
Admiralty, for Sheerness and Chatham. The Monkey steam-
vessel, Mr. Bryant, master-commander, left Woolwich for Dover
and Plymouth, and conveyed the party that brought the Dragon
steam-frigate to the river back to Plymouth on their return home.
Vice-Admiral Richard Matson visited Woolwich Dockyard to-day,
to witness the progress of the works on the Grampus, 50 guns, and
the Terrible steam-vessel. The latter is having her masts put up.
CHERTSEY FAIR, SURREY.—Yesterday, this autumn
fair was held in the usual fair-field at Chertsey. Although not
large, this is considered a good market for the sale and purchase of
lean stock. The supply of cattle this year was tolerably good, and
made the following prices :—Cows (with small calf), 151. to 17!.;
ditto down calving, 12/. to 141.; heifers, from 71. to 91. ; beast,
grass-fatted, averaged 14/. ; lean stock, for stalling, from 61. to 10/. ;
good Southdown ewes (early lambing) worth 265. to 28s. a head ; old
ditto, 17s. to 20s. ; wethers, two guineas ; tags, 255. ; lambs, 16s.
There was a good sprinkling of horses, which, young and fit far
farming purroses, fetched 18 to 20 guineas; inferior ditto met with
a dull market.

ST. JAMES'S PAllK.—During the last few days a
large number of
_workmen have been busily engaged in laying
down new iron pipes in St. James's Park, for the purpose of fur.
nishing Buckingham Palace and several of the Government offices
with a more abundant supply of water.
MONUMENT TO LIEUTENANT WYLDE.—We under-
stand it is the intention of some of the friends of the late Lieu.
tenant Wylde, R.N., to erect a suitable monument In Dunbar
churchyard to his memory, and that of his gallant associates, who
lost their lives In the cause of humanity on the 20th ult.—Edinburgh
Witness.

One of the women employed in cutting rags in the
mills of Messrs. Tanner, at Cheddar, lately made the discovery of
a 101. note in ripping open an old pocket. It appears to have been
issued by Messrs. Cavenagh and Co., of Bath, who failed in 1825.
Bath Chronicle.

DEATH FROM EXCITEMENT.—Yesterday Mr. Baker,
held an inquest, at the Three Colts, Grove.street, Hackney.wick,
on the body of Mrs. Mary Harper, wife of a baker, residing in
Union-place, Bethnal.green. It appeared ftom the evidence of
the husband that the deceased had an interest in the above public.
house, which is to be pulled down for the formation of the Vic-
toria-park. A knowledge of that circumstance had unsettled her
mind, and kept her in suspense relative to the final disposition of
the property in question. On Sunday week last she was cupped
for pain in the head, and recovered sufficiently to attend to her
domestic avocations. On Monday morning she expressed a wish
to walk out with her husband, and just as he was ready, she was
seized with violent headache and pains in the eye. Her husband
immediately hastened for a surgeon, but she expired during his
absence. Verdict, " Natural death."
The Bishop of Exeter consecrated the new church
of Allhallows, Exeter, on Monday last.
DEATH OP TWO BROTHERS BY DROWNING.—On
Thursday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Duke of Sussex, Hag-
gerstone-bridge, on the bodies of Edwin William and William
Adolphus Payne, of the respective ages of eight and eleven years.
It appeared from the evidence, that about half. past one o'clock on
Wednesday morning, a man named Black was employed in paint-
ing and glazing at No. 9, Bridge.place, Haggerstone, when his
attention was suddenly drawn by observing the head and hand of
a boy in the waterstruggling beneath the arch of the bridge. A
lady who was also passing at the time gave an alarm. Several
persons immediately ran to the rescue, amongst whom was a young
man named John Devereux, employed in the East India Com-
pany's warehouses, at Poplar, who, seeing the danger of the chil.
dren, threw of his coat and plunged into the water. He dived
successively after the bodies for about two or three minutes, when
be was taken out in a most deplorable state of exhaustion. Both
bodies were ultimately taken out by a waterman by a boat-hook,
and conveyed to the Duke of Sussex, where several medical gen-
tlemen were promptly in attendance, who for upwards of two
hours ineffectually endeavoured to restore animation. How the
children came into the water was a matter of perfect conjecture,
and the jury, at the suggestion of the Coroner, returned an open
verdict in both eases of "Found drowned."

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 21.—Their Royal Hignesses
the Prince and Princess of Orange left the Hague the day before
yesterday for Stuttgard. The Goes Courant says the harvest of rye,
barley, wheat, peas, and oats, which was begun at a good time, and
in fine weather, has been almost wholly got in during three weeks,
in which the weather has been constantly fine. This is to be grate-
fully remarked, especially as we have now again much rain. The
quantity and quality are good. The Stoats Courant confirms the
melancholy accounts from Surinam. It says—" Billious fevers
have broken out among the new Colonists, of whom 30 are dead,
and several others are confined to their beds." Later accounts are
rather more favourable.
THE HAGUE, SEPT. 22.—We regret to say
acts th
of
that
the day before yesterday, and yesterday in the evening, some
violence took place against some mealmen. The :police and some
military were soon at hand. some persons, as we hear, were
arrested. Today the mealmen's shops were again opened.
DOVER (Extract of a lett?r.)—On I uesday last
an excursion-party, got up by several respectable tradesmen
of the town, started from Dover to Boulogne. The early
part of the morning being exceedingly fine, there were up-
wards of 200 passengers. At a quarter-past nine o'clock they
gi nfaces. Jenkins),but
left Dover harbour in one of the South-Eastern Railway
Company's fine vessels (the Princess Maanudde,sCmailpitah
with band playing, colours flying,
alas ! before they had been long at sea, it came on to' rain
hard and blow quite fresh; but that powerful vessel, with
wind right a-head, gallantly made her passing to Boulogne,'
with upwards of 200 persons on board, is two hours and a
half. Unfortunately, the gale increased, and the rain fell
in torrents the whole dayas it was arranged they
should return the same evanintg, at nine o'clock, many. of
them pulled uncommonly long ac scat the idea of crossing
the Channel upon such a •storin night ; but they were soon
happily relieved by the courtesy of the committee,. who de-
termined not to return till thernext morning, at half-past
nine o'clock, which gave them the greatest satisfaction, as it
enabled them to refresh themselves for the passage home,
and, as it turned out, in the morning the gale had not de-
creased ; but being assured by the committee that they had
crossed in worse weather, and that they had got one of the
finest vessels in the world, and a first-rate crew, to steam
them to Dover, we left Boulogne at the time appointed, and
arrived home in two hours and five minutes, through a tre-
mendous sea, many of them more dead than alive. The
charge was only 3s. each way.
NEW STREETS.—The continuation line of street
from Farringdon.street to Clerkenweli is named Victoria-street.

The street from Whitechapel to Spits!fields, to connect with the
I.ondou Docks, Is to bo called Christchurch street,

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Compared with those of the preceding week, the arrivals of Eng-
lish Wheat up to our market since '_Monday have been tolerably good,
though by no means large. The weather being fine for harvest work
in the north, and the stands better tilled than for some time past, the
demand to-day for Wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state.
The finest qualities of both Red and White, however, sold at the late
advance in the quotations; but the middling and inferior kinds must
be considered Is per quarter cheaper, and a clearance was not effected.
Of fine foreign Wheat the show was small, nevertheless, the sale for
it was heavy, at an abatement of is per quarter. The inquiry for
Wheat under lock w, s trifling, hence holders were more moderate in
their demands. No new Barley at Market. Grinding sorts were in
request at full prices, but other kinds hung on hand. The demand
for Malt was not so active as on Monday, but we can notice no alte-
ration in value. Nearly 30,000 quarters of foreign Oats having come
to hand, the Oat trade was dull, and the inferior parcels had a down-
ward tendency. Beans and Peas supported Monday's quotations, but
Flour hung on hand.

The supply of Beasts beily, seasonably large, and the attendance of
buyers small, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state, and Mon-
day's prices were with difficulty supported. From Holland and Ger-
many we received 110 Oxen and Cows, 400 Sheep, and 13 Calves.
Sheep—the number of which was small—sold briskly, and previous
rates were readily maintained. In Lambs a steady business was
transacted, at full prices. Calves moved off slowly, and the quota-
tions had in some instances a downward tendency. Pigs were quite
as dear. Mitch Cows were selling at from 16/ to 19/ each. Suckling
Calves, 18s to 30s ; and 'Quarter old Store Pigs, 16s to 21s sack.
Beasts, 713 ; Cows, 98 ; Sheep and Lambs, 6,620 ; Calves, 342;
Pigs, 291.
