By the most recent accounts from the principal Baltic
ports we learn that, under the belief that no immediate
alteration in the corn-laws was contemplated by our
Government, much of the excitement by which the grain
trade had been characterised in the early part of the
month of November had subsided ; and though the
smallness of the stocks had caused holders to remain
pretty firm, the tendency of prices had been decidedly
downwards.
Letters from Dantzic of the 29,h ult. state that,
though au abatement of 2s. to 5a per qr. had been sub-
mitted to, comparatively little business had been done
during the week ; the latest sales had been at from 545.
to 575. for fine high mixed qualities, and fair mixed had
sold at from 51s. to 53e. per qr., free on beard. It was
estimated that the stock in granary at that port con-
sisted of about 200,000 qrs., comprising all descriptions
of quality ; but it was nut expected that supplies of any
importance would come forward from Poland, as the
greatest scarcity was said to prevail both in the upper
and lower districts. At Warsaw prices were actually
higher than at Dantzic, wheat being worth 575., and rye
45s per qr. at that place.
The accounts from Konigsberg are of much the same
character as before, and there seems little chance of that
port having any grain to spare for shipment. The entire
stock of corn in granary there was, at the close of
November, estimated at 30,000 qrs., of which about
12,000 qrs. were wheat, held at from 525. to 60s. per qr.,
according to quality. Rye was equally high there, say
425., and prices of barley and oats relatively much
higher than in the British markets.
At the Lower Baltic ports fair supplies were, we are
informed, beginning to be brought forward by the
farmers, which, with the somewhat dull reports from
hence, had rendered sellers a little more reasonable in
their pretensions.
At Rostock, fine qualities of wheat might, on the Ist
inst., have been bought free on board, at 50s. to Ms.; the
quality of the last crop is described as very fine.
Letters from Stettin, of the 26th and 29th, state that
renewed activity had been imparted to the grain trade,
by orders from Silesia, ani that prices of wheat had
again rallied to 525. to 525. 6d. per qr.
At Harnburgh, on the 2d, the demand for wheat was
less active than the previous post day ; a few further
purchases had, however, been made for shipment. For
good 601 to 611bs. rod Saale, 525. 3d. per qr. free on
board had been paid, and corresponding rates for other
descriptions. For spring shipments little or nothing had
been done.
The advices from the Mediterranean are not so lively
this week, the news that no order in Council for the free
importation of grain had been, or was likely to be, issued
by the British Government, having greatly checked the
disposition to speculate.
At Marseilles, on the 29th of November, business was
decifiedly dull, and fine Polish Odessa, weighing 611 to
62Ibs , might have been bought at 433. 6d. to 445. per
qr, free on board. Freight to England was, however,
7s. 6d. to 7F. 93. per qr.
At Odessa, on the sth ult., great excitement contieued
to pael.ail, and the price of wheat had actually been
driven up there 40s. per qr. free on board.—lllat k-lane

MURDER OF MRS. .MUNDELL.—This case WaSbrought
before the Coroner's. Court last week, when a verdict
was given that deceased had committed suicide. Sus-
picions, however, fell upon a young woman, now in
custody, Maitha Rimming, who, it seems, had been
living with the deceased at the time of her death.
Further inquiry confirmed the suspicion of murder, and
the manner and language of the prisoner were of a
character such as allows little room for doubt who has
been guilty of the deed. The facts need not be detailed,
as they will appear in evidence. The prisoner was
brought up before Mr. Bond on Wednesday last, and
remanded till yesterday, when she was again brought into
Court. The prisoner is a good-looking young woman, of
poor condition. She seems to labour under the deepest
agony. She had to be lifted on both occasions into the
dock, where she was accommodated with a chair.
Throughout the examination yesterday she continued in
a reclining posture, her eyes shut, her features deadly
pale, seemingly unconscious of what was going on.
Her breast displayed marks such as might have been in-
flicted by herself in the agony of despair.
The first witness called to-day was Ann Gage, the
daughter of the deceased. Her evidence last week was
read over to her, which she again confirmed. She said
she live: at 11, Rochester-street, Rochester-row. She
knows the prisoner, who has lived with her mother for
the last three months. It was on Monday morning last
that she came to witness's room, and said her mother
had had a fit, and screamed out " Murder, mur-
der !" She (prisoner) said no person had gone
into the room, for the door was locked.
Witness rose from bed and went to deceased's lodgings.
When she went into the room she looked into the bed,
and found that empty, but afterwards saw deceased
lying on a box. A rope was fastened twice round the
throat of deceased, and her mother was then quite
dead. Since the inquest they had had reason, from the
prisoner's manner and conduct, to suspect her. On
Tuesday morning prisoner had asked her to go with her
to the corner of Bedford-street, Covent-garden, where
she expected to get some money. Witness went with
her to near the place, when she was left by the prisoner
for a time. Prisoner, when she came back, said she
had got a 5L note. Next morning prisoner went over
to the " Blue-coat Boy " public-house to get change of
the note, but when she returned to witness's house
she said the gentleman had played a trick upon
her by giving her a Bank of Blegane note. Wit-
ness's husband, on this, wished to see the note,

Marin'rms.—This afternoon none was offered at auction,
and the few parcels sold privately were at easier rates. A
vessel has arrived off the coast from the Mauritius, with
5,000 bags of Sugar.
LAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was little desire shown
to purchase Bengal Sugar; three parcels, amounting to 3,407
bags, were broug:at to public sale, and a small part only sold,
at a decline on former rates of fully Is.
FORElGN.—Although there are sellers of which Brazil, at

COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was purchased
with caution by private treaty, and 48s per cwt. is the
nearest price for good ordinary; cone has been offered at
auction. Other kinds met with little attention privately;
at auction 246 bags Costa Rica were, however, sold at good
market rates, and went at 60s for fine fine ordinary palish
blue, and at 49s 6d to 52s 6d for fine ordinary quality.
TEA.—Although' all descriptions of Congou are offered
at lower rates, still thel town and craintry trade
operate with caution and continue to take only sufficient
for the supply of their immediate wants. Pouchong has
slightly declined in value, and the trade have operated with
caution at 4d to 5d for common, and at Gd to 9d for middling
to good. Twankay is little wanted, and easier rates are
