MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREA.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about
12,000 bales, including 5,000 on speculation. With this
demand, prices were advancing. Mid American was %d. to
lAd. per lb. dearer, but the better qualities were much the
same.—Shares were firm, with a steady business doing.
The state of the Corn-market seems to be still indicative
of the action of the past not present weather, as the duty on
foreign wheat has receded to 17s. per quarter. Some parties
are of opinion, that the harvest has so far advanced as to in-
sure without the aid offoreign importations a full supply of food
for the whole nation, but this we doubt exceedingly, because
we believe it to be an admitted fact that, with a good crop,
we must import more or less corn from abroad. This
and next rear's • consumption is likely to increase, be-
cause rail Ways will give extensive employment, and
the manufacturing interest being called upon in turn for
larger supplies of clothing, will be more liberal in their ex-
penditure for food. Indeed, the effect must be felt on articles
of comparative luxury, besides mere necessaries.
The Tallow trade is reported just now as being particularly
firm, and there has been large demand for consumption. The
home supply is expected to be deficient at least one-
third, as compared with last year, while the quantity
used in 1845 will far exceed that of previous
years. By letters from St. Petersbugh, we find that a
large business had been doing in tallow, from 8,000 to 9,0(X)
casks having changed hands during the week, and 109 to
110 ro., being the latest prices, The shipments, according
to the accounts of 23d August, had been—to London 9,056
casks ; to the outports ; 12,484 casks ; and to the United
Kingdom ; 21,540 casks ; or, with the shipments to foreign
ports, 43,410 casks.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number
of deaths during the week ending Saturday, August 30, was
835, being 9 less than the preceding week, and 69 less than
the average of five summers. With the exception of
measles and vio lent deaths, there is a diminution or a very
trifling increase under all the different heads. The total
number of deaths from measles was 58, exceeding the aver.
age by. 34, and those caused by violence amounted to 36, of
which 22 were from fractures and contusions, 6 from drown-
ing, 2 from suffocation, and 6 from burns and scalds. We
find no cases of suicide. The deaths from small-pox were
only 10. Two men died at the respective ages of 95 and 96,
and two women at 90 and 91 years.

Two PERSONS POISONED BY FUNGI.--A poor
man and wife, named Walker, of St. Afartin's.lane, Norwich,
have during the last week been poisoned by eating fungi, in-
stead of mushrooms. The man had been after work into the
country, and, on his return, brought with him, as he thought,
some mushrooms. They stewed and ate them for supper, and
on the following morning were very ill. Mr. Firth, the
surgeon, being sent for, found that the sickness had been occa-
sioned by eating fungi. The poor woman died on Friday. The
husband was at that time so bad that scarcely a hope of life
could be entertained ; but on Sunday he was still living, and
some hopes are now entertained of his restoration. An inquest
was held on the body of the woman, on Saturday, before Mr.
Mendham, deputy-coroner, when the jury found a verdict of
Died from eating fungi." Mr. Firth stated that, since the
occurrence, he had walked through Norwich market, and had
found on the stalls poisonous fungi selling for mushrooms. He
told the sellers of the nature of them, and they readily allowed
them to be destroyed.—Ipswich Express.
SEED OILS. - The Commissioners of Customs
having had under consideration en application from certain
parties, requesting that seed oil may be allowed to be landed
at Butler's Wharf, and also the reports of the principal prac-
tical officers thereon, wherein they submit that seed oils gene-
rally may be permitted to be landed at the premises above-
mentioned, and that the indulgence may be extended to all
the first-class sufferance wharfs with the additional privileges
on the banks of the river—orders have been issued for the
request to be complied with, and the privilege extended to
all the wharfs mentioned, as recommended by the officers of
the revenue, which regulation is to take pace from the pre-
sent time, and of which the Ilevenue Departments generally
have been apprised, for their information and future govern-
:tent.

abound with deer, and although the gainetis,oll:
huilted, as in the Highlands of Scotland, °:Y011
there is every autumn a grand bathe, at whn't„il
sportsmen of the district assist, the object being for
down the number of the game, which incretigsrd
in the vast forests of Thuringia, some of the
being of enormous size. The chasse of th
whoele e
r
Coburg is the finest in Germany, arid the ir
establishments are maintained upon the mostrro
scale, and, in addition to the usual keepers and .
a large body of chasseurs are retained by his
Highness to superintend his hunting menage.
