COLONIAL.
SUGAIL—The market for British Plantation is very heavy,
scarcely any business having been done; but for the few
small parcels disposed of lower prices have been accepted,
establishing a decline of 6d to is upon grocery descriptions.
The public sales have only offered 3,070 bags Mauritius,
and 832 bags Penang (subject to 18s 8d duty), nearly
all of which sold, but went off without spirit, and
at rather lower prices; they were, however, chiefly in small
lots, and of inferior quality, affording little guide to the
market generally. Low to good brown Mauritius brought
386 to 45s ; low to fine yellow 45s 6d to 52s ;
low to good brown Penang 403 to 425, and
low to fine yellow 46s to 53s per cwt. The quantity of
British Plantation landed last week at the East and West
India Docks was 2,176 hhds 174 tierces 572 barrels; there
were taken for home consumption 1,694 hhds 177 tierces
572 barrels. The stock in the same places is 12,540 hhds
1,230 tierces 2,381 barrels.
Rum.--The quantity landed last week, at the East and
West India Docks, was 123 puns I hhd. There were taken
for home consumption 145 puns 18 hhds, and exported 248
puns 135 hhds. The stock in the same places is 9,912 puns
1,097 hhds.
COFFLIE.—This article is quiet. There are very few sales
announced.
COTTON is steady.
TOBACCO.—There has been an improved demand lately
for most descriptions, and, for the period of the year, sales
have been made to some extent, and may be computed at
1,500 hhds last month, independent of two cargoes of ordinary
Kentucky, about 1,400 hhds taken for re sale. The market
has been tirm, with a: slight tendency to advance; and for
some sorts, namely, fine Kentucky strips and spinning quali-
ties of Virginia, our highest quotations have been obtained.
TEA.—There is not much doing, and prices are about the
same.
TALLOW.—P YC is 40s 9d to 41s per cwt on the spot for
old, and 41s 3d to 41s 6d for new. Town is 445.

SUICIDE INDUCED BY EXCESSIVE STUDY.--An
inquest was held yesterday, at the King's Head, Canterbury-
street, York-road, before Mr. Carter, on the body of Mr.
William Alfred Barker, aged twenty-three, late editor of a
Nottingham newspaper. Mr. W. A. Barker, also the editor
of a provincial newspaper, said that the deceased was his son,
and about three weeks ago came to his (witness's) residence
in Howley-street, York-road, to proceed from thence to
Southampton, for the benefit of his health. He returned
in three or four days completely altered. His memory was
entirely gone, and he was unable to exercise his mental facul-
ties. On Saturday last witness intended to obtain a certificate
as to the state of his mind, in order to place him under re-
straint, and went out telling the deceased to follow him, and
meet him on Waterloo-bridge, but after waiting a consider-
able time he became alarmed at his long absence, and
returned. He then searched all the rooms in the house for
him, and afterwards descended to the coal-cellar, where
he found him suspended by the neck by means of a rope
fastened to the iron grating, and his hands tied tightly
behind him. Witness immediately cut him down and sent
for surgical assistance, but if deceased was not already dead he
died in a few seconds. Witness believed the deranged state of
his mind to have been occasioned by illness brought on by ex-
cessive study. About fifteen months ago, when in London, he
used to devote so much of his mind to study, that he deprived
himself of necessary food and repose. He had made a pre-
vious attempt upon his life. Mr. J. E. Stahlsmidts, the editor
of a weekly journal, having corroborated the previous evidence
relative to the state of mind of the deceased, the jury returned
a verdict—" That the deceased committed suicide whilst in an
unsound state of mind."
IMPROVEMENTS, &C., OF PUBLIC EDIFICES.—
Workmen are at present engaged in painting the outer iron
gallery at the top of the cupola of St. Paul's Cathedral ; it is
done in stone colour, and has a very good effect. At the
British Museum workmen are employed in levelling the dead
wall and antique gateway,T&c. to throw the front open. The foun-
dation has been laid of tile new Money Order Office of the
General Post. It is situate in Aldersgate-street, between the
French Protestant church and that of St. Botolph, Aldersgate.
It is to be completed within six months.
WESLEYAN METHODISTS AND MATRIMONY.—At
the late conference the Wesleyan Methodists resolved not to
admit to the Theological Institution any married student, or
any person under engagement of marriage. The reason
assigned for this prohibition_is, that young men so circum-
stanced eagerly snatch at any means of !getting a livelihood.
At the same conference the Methodists determined for the first
time to avail themselves of the New Marriage Act, and to have
their marriages celebrated by their own ministers in their
chapels.
ACCIDENTS ON: THE LANCASHIRE AND CARLISLE
RA I LWA Ir. —On Wednesday last a dreadful accident occurred
on the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway line, at the cutting
through a large hill upon the Shap Fells, Westmoreland. A
portion of the rock had been charged with gunpowder, for the
purpose of blasting, when, from some cause or other, the charge
would not explode, and two of the workmen returned to it and
commenced drilling the stone, to draw out the powder. In
doing this they had unfortunately neglected to pour into the
hole a sufficient quantity of water to keep the stone moist, and
the consequence was that the jumper became heated from the
friction, and ignited the powder. One of the poor fellows was
blown into the air a height of thirty or forty feet, and came
down upon a heap of stones ; after which he rolled into a gullet
twelve feet in depth; and the other, by the force of the blast,
was driven to a considerable distance. The unfortunate men
did net exhibit any signs of life until medical assistance was ob-
tained, when they partly revived. The injuries, however, are
of such a description that there is not the least possible chance
of their recovery.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO A STEAMER.—On Sun-
day morning the Erith, a Gravesend and Erith steamer, Cap-
tain Warren, left Hungerford-marka with a large number of
persons. When opposite the Ferry House, the larboard paddle •
wheel suddenly broke, tearing up the boards on the top of the
paddle-box. Mr. Langton, one of the proprieto, s of the vessel,
and another gentleman, who were standing on the paddle-box
had a narrow escat e, being precipitated into the paddle-box,
but fortunately they clung to the railing that surrounds the
paddle-box. The alarm of the numerous passengers was great,
and the screams of the females were distinctly heard at the
piers at Woolwich. To make the matter worse, the Emerald,
Gravesend steamer, belonging to the Diamond Company,
which was close astern of the Erith, in coming alongside to
render assistance, came with some force against the Erith, re-
newing the alarm of the passengers. Some of them were em-
barked on board the Emerald ; others were taken off in the
watermen's boats, which crowded round as soon as the acci-
dent was known. A few remained on board the Erith, which
was towed to the Watermen's Pier by the steamer Waterman,
No. 4, where the proprietor of the vessel, Mr. Langton, re.
turned them their fares. Fortunately no person was injured.
DuvoriroßT, AUG. 30.—The port of Devonport,
after a long struggle, has obtained the
grant of sufferance
quays, which has passed the Lords of the Treasury. Foimerly
all foreign goods had to he landed at Plymouth, where the
Custom-house is situated, but these may now be unloaded at
Devor,p ert, and delivered to the consignees. The circum-
stance is looked upon by the inhabitants of the latter borough
as of great importance to its commercial progress.
A STRANGE Ersx —On Saturday, the fishermen
engaged at one of the stake-nets near the North Esk were sur-
prised to find a captive in their meshes of rather unwelcome
mien. It was a shark, about seven feet long, which they
killed, but not before the animal had destroyed a considerable
portion of the net.—Montrose Review.
It has been determined by the owner of Jarrow
Colliery, under the advice of his viewer, Mr. T. W. Jobling,
to work that pit for the future exclusively with Davy lamps,
convinced, by the late melancholy accident, that the utmost
skill and care, arid the greatest expense, are not alone sufficient
to prevent the recurrence of similar catastrophes.—Newcastle
