HEART-RENDING CARE.

The 53d Regiment sailed from this port (Liverpool)
on Saturday, for Calcutta. There is one circumstance
connected with that sailing, most painful in its de-
tails, which we have deemed it right to bring thus
particularly under the notice of the public, in the
hope that it may meet the eyes, and bespeak the
sympathy, of the commanding officer of that gallant
corps. It appears that, about a fortnight since, one
of the privates, who left for Calcutta on Saturday,
obtained liberty from the commanding officer, at
Manchester, for himself and his wife, a fine young
woman, only nineteen years of age, to whom he had
been married only about a year and a-half, to pay a
short visit to their friends in Ireland, previous to leaving
the country. The private returned to Manchester at
the expiration of his furlough, but the wife remained
in Ireland a few days longer, not expecting the de-
tachment to sail until the end of the present month,
or the beginning of the next. On Wednesday last,
however, she received a letter from her husband,
stating, that they were under orders to leave Liver-
pool for their destination on Saturday, and that it
was absolutely necessary for her to be in Man-
chester on. Friday, in order that, as she was one of
the women selected to go to Calcutta, there might be
no difficulty in getting her passed with the detach-
ment by the commanding officer. She immediately
proceeded to Dublin, where she arrived on Thurs-
day, but, to her inexpressible regret, found that the
Liverpool steamer had just left the quay, and that
she must remain for the night. She was, therefore,
unable to reach Liverpool before Saturday morning ;
and, on coming here, she found the detachment in
the act of shipping on board the Nith, at the Prince's
Dock, and learned from her husband that, as she
was not in Manchester on the previous day, the wife
of one of the other privates had been seleced in
her stead by the commanding officer. A most heart-
rending scene succeeded. The parties burst into
floods of tears ; embraced each other several times, in
the belief that the period of their last parting had
arrived; and the soldier, a fine, atheletic youngfellow,
took his child, an infant about five months old, re-
peatedly out of its mother's arms, and kissed it with
all the fervour of an attached and most affectionate
father. After this affecting interview, one that was
witnessed with lively feelings of sympathy by a crowd
of spectators on the quay, had lasted for some time,
the afflicted mother, in a paroxysm of grief and de-
spair, ran, with the infant in her arms, to the railway
station, in Lime-street, with the view of going on to
Manchester and entreating the commanding officer to
allow her to proceed with the detachment. She
had been informed that the Nith, after having
aken the companies on board, would lie in the
iver until yesterday, and she hoped to be able to re-
turn in time for the sailing, and with the joyful intel-
ligence that she had achieved her object. On reaching
the station, however, she discovered, what she had
been too much grieved to think of before, that she
was all but penniless, and wholly unable to pay her
fare. She was, therefore, compelled to return to the
dock, where she arrived just in time to see the vessel
sailing out of the harbour for Calcutta. Hope now
forsook her, and the poignant anguish she felt may be
much more easily conceived than described. Inspector '
Bibby found her on the Prince's Pierhead soon after,
and, ascertaining that she was without money, friends,
or even acquaintance in the town, he, much to his
credit, took her to his house, provided her with food,
and is interesting himself to get her on to Manchester,
to see whether the commanding officer will allow her
to proceed to Calcutta with the next detachment.—

RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Friday afternoon, as one of
the Paisley trains, drawn by the Hecate, one of the
Greenock Company's engines, was on its way to Glas-
gow, and when about two miles from Paisley, the axle
of the tender broke, when both tender and engine were
thrown off the line. None of the passengers or serval*
were seriously hurt ; three of the former were slightly

MARKET NEWS. (YESTERDAY)
CORN-EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of all kinds of Grain, of home produce,
during the past week have been only moderate for the
I time of year ; but the imports of Ferign Wheat, Barley,
and Oats have been extensive. Fresh up to-day we received
a full average supply of Wheat, coastwise:as well as by
land carriage and sample, at least three-fourths of which
were of the present year's growth, and of very superior
quality. There was rather an extensive number of
buyers in attendance, while the sale for new English
Wheat was steady at fully last week's prices,
or from 53s to 589 per quarter : but, with other
kinds of wheat the trade ruled heavy, at, in most
transactions, a decline in the quotations of Is. per
quarter, and a clearance of such was not effected. There
was a very large quantity of' free Foreign Wheat offer
ing. The demand for that description of grain was in A
very slugg4h state, and prices had, in some instances,
downward tendency. There was scarcely a sample of
YkAtlish Barley at market ; but the supply of free Fo-
reign was good. The Barley trade ruled inactive, het
we have nu variation to notice in the quotations. The
best Ware Malt was quite as dear. In other kinds the
supply a Wheat was good ; next to nothing was doing-
Tha display of Oat samples was not large ; yet, the sale
ior that article was inactive, at late rates. Old Beans
were in demand at 2s per quarter more money. In other
kinds very little was doing. The sale for Peas was,
steady, at Is per quarter advance on last ,week's rater.
Tito Flour trade was heavy, at barely late rates. Ia
Seeds very little was doing,

Compared with that exhibited on this day se'nnights
the supply of Beasts was somewhat numerous. Tbe
weather being rather favourable for slaughtering, and
the attendance of buyers good, the Beef trade, partico:
larly with the primest Scots, runts, &c., was steady, s*
prices quite equal to those obtained last week. 1101 v:
ever, a total clearance was not effected till a late 11°,11V,

arrrival of Beasts from our northern grazing districts
consisted of about 1,000 short-horns. Those from Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, comprised 500 Scot,
and homebreds; from the western and midland counties,.
500 Herefords, Devons, runts, &c., from other parts of
England, 300 of various breeds, and from Scotland, 150
horned and polled Scots. The numbers of sheep wet+
again extensive. Prime old Downs, which were rather
scarce, produced full prices ; but the value of other
breeds arising from a heavy demand was with difficulty
supported. Very little business was transacted in Lamb-Ts
the supply of which was tolerably good, at about sta.
tionary prices. Calves met a heavy inquiry at befell
late rates. In Pigs very little was doing.

Difference since our.last

WOOL IVIALIMMT.,
One of the principal features we have to notice in this
market is a considerable improvement in the demand for
all descriptions of British Wool, and a trifling advance in
the quotations of that article. This improvement has
been principally caused by the increased activity everr
where apparent in the manufacturing districts, as well as
to the improvement in our export trade. Although many
of the large flock-masters have withheld the bulk of the
present year's clip from the market for the present, under
the impression that prices will, ere long, rule higher thansi
present, the supplies in London are quite as extensive ss
has been observed at the corresponding periods oftiost
past seasons. From this it is evident that the growth ot.
Wool this year has been extremely large, and 01
very superior quality. It is estimated that, during
the past week not less than 28,000 fleeces have been sod
in London, and transmited to Manchester and other
places. About 10,000 of this was flannel and blanks:
wool; the remainder combing and Down Hoggits.
far as the future value of wool is concerned we are quite
of opinion that, though a slight advance may be el)"
tained in it, the improvement will not, for the Jae
supplies, exceed that at present noticed. South Down,
Hoggits may now be quoted at is ld to is 2d; Half-bred
ditto, is 24d to is 3d; Kent Fleeces, 1 lid to 15 1d:
Flannel Wool, lOicl to is Id; Blanket ditto, 6id to 1s;
Swinton Fleeces, llid to ls id per lb. The effect of the,
abolition of the duty is clearly exemplified by the increased
importations of wool. It will be remembered that, sopil
weeks since, the largest public sales of colonial Wo,°l
ever held in this country took place, yet nearly 00
whole of the parcels brought forward, amounting t;
about 25,000 bales, were disposed of at full prices; al
this, this, too, with the prospect of other auctions equal
large. The importations of wool from our Australasill
Colonies during the present year, have exceeded those of
last by about 17,000 packages, while those of foreign
have somewhat declined. It is gratifying to observe
that the Colonial Wool now comes to hand in a greatly
improved condition. Formerly, great complaints w.
made as to false packing, but now scarcely a single Wu'
comes to hand in that state; hence all classes of buyers
are exhibiting more confidence in effecting purchase?'
During the past week, about 2,000 bales have been age°
imported from New South Wales, which, added to the
previous arrivals undisposed of, causes the stock in ware:
house to exceed 24,600 bales, a large portion of wiluis
will be submitted to public competition about the middle
of September. Of Foreign Wool the imports hi:eel:Wl
exceeded 700 bales. The quotations of Austrian W 0
now range from 9d to 2s 10d ; of Cape, 7d to 2s ;
Spanish, is 4d to is 10d ; of German, is 9d to 4s 9d per
pound.

Although the Hops have made some little progre,

THE LATE DISTRESSING
SUICIDE.
Yesterday morning an inquest was held before Mr.
C. J. Carttar, pursuant to adjournment from Friday
last, at the Trinity Arms, Church-street, Deptford,
touching the death of Eliza Kendall, aged 18, whose
body was found in the water of the Grand Surrey
Canal.
The first witness called was police- constable Gat( s,
144 R, and officer of the police-court, who said that
he remembered deceased being ordered to pay Is. for
damage done to a bonnet, and 2s, costs. The Magis-
trate allowed her a fortnight to pay it in on account
of her poverty. The time Lad expired, when he called
and asked her why she had not paid the money. De-
ceased replied that it had not been in her power,
having had n.) work. Witness told her she must pay,
it by the following Wednesday, or take the conse-
quence. She was to have been committed to prison
for three days if not paid. Should not have taken her
into custody unless by an order from the Magistrate.
Wanes; held out no threat; he was ordered to call
for the money.
John Cohen, a shipwright, deposed that _he saw a
woman on the bank of the canal throwing her arms
about and crying loudly, " Oh, my sister ! oh, my
sister !" several times. He was in his cottage, and
ran out, and, with a neighbour, followed on to the
canal. Witness saw her jump in, and having cleared
the ditch, he plunged in after her. 3elieves she
jumped in to save her sister. She was breast high out
of the water when he saw her. She sank and he
caught hold of her clothes when nearly three feet
under water, and with great difficulty got her ashore
in a state of insensibility. Did not see anything of
the deceased. Witness was much exhausted from the
exertion. It was at half-past six o'clock on Wednes-
day morning, and many persons were then on the
bank. A friend took him by the hand and pulled both
ashore together.
Joseph Arthur, surgeon, deposed, that he had made
a post mortent examination of the body. Deceased
was not in the family way. Observed a few scratches
on her face. Thinks they were done before death.
Christopher Kendall, aged 55, father of deceased,
saw her last on Tuesday night. He had not made
any complaint to the deceased. His daughters were
in the habit of. going out on their own affairs. The
landlord called on Tuesday for the rent. Two weeks
at 2s. a-week were to be paid, and is. off the arrear.
Witness had left ss. with his eldest daughter to pay
it. The landlord came at half-past 8, and he told
him he had no money for him, and that he feared his
daughters had made away with it. Jane had not
then told him so. On her return home, she said the
money would be returned that day ; but they were
unable to borrow it. She had lent it to her two
sisters. He said very little to Jane, as she appeared
to be in such trouble. He went out in search of them
to the Broadway, but could not meet with them. He
returned home and went to bed soon after 9 o'clock.
He saw one of the girls leave the house about 6
o'clock on Wednesday morning. They lived by slop-
shirt-making, addded to which he could earn ave-
raging about Bs. per week. He was sorry to say they
had no chance of making a living at slopwork ; had
suffered great distress lately ; never thought of more
than two meals a day, sometimes not that. They
worked for Mrs. Norman, Union-bridge, Bermond-
sey. She takes contracts to do the work for large
shops in town. The deceased had much altered
lately. The girls could not go to service for want of
clothes, they being in pledge. It was quite unusual
for them to be out at night. Witness was left with
four daughters and one son. The latter was ship-
wrecked two years ago, and had not since been
heard of.
Jane Kendall deposed, that they worked for Mrs.
Norman, in Keating's-lane, Bermondsey, who em-
ploys upwards of 100 hands, and contracts with
Messrs. Bousfield and Sons, of loundsditch.
Mary Ann Kendall, the surviving sister, was then
brought into the inquest-room in a helpless state,
and after many attempts by the Coroner to take her
evidence it was found absolutely necessary to remove
her into an adjoining room, where the surgeon and
Coroner followed. In about half an hour, having
taken something to soothe her, she was again led up
to the table and seated by the side of the Coroner,
and deposed in a low tone as follows :—She went out
with me on Tuesday, at three o'clock, as they did
not want to see their father, in- consequence of not
having the rent money, which had been borrowed of
Jane. They returned about twelve that night, and
climbed over the wall and slept in the yard all night,
the door of the house being fast. They went away
about five next morning, meaning to return at seven,
when their father would be gone out. They went
through Deptford and along the canal side. Her
sister said she wished to go that way to see a young
man. She stopped on the bank to wipe her face, and,
having done so, turned, and in a moment after, giv-
ing witness the handkerchief, deceased was in the
water. Witness was alarmed and screamed, and
and thought she could catch hold of her frock, she was
so near her. Deceased had previously said she would
go and give herself up to the police, not being able to
get either the lent money or the 3s. demanded by the
police-constable. Deceased proposed to go by the
canal side. Believes it was only an excuse about
going to meet a young man. Could_ not say whether
it was an accident or not.
The CORONER. said, that it was a question for the
jury to consider whether the act was the result of ac-
cident or that of wilfully taking her own life. -With
respect to the witness Mary Ann, the evidence of
Cohen showed that she was screaming " Oh, my sis-
ter ! oh, my sister !" which indicated that affection
and desperation induced her to jump into the water
after her sister. There could be no doubt that the
sad catastrophe had been brought on by excitement,
through great distress at home and threatened impri-
sonment, with the dread of meeting her father ; the
circumstances taken altogether led him (the Coroner)
to think that it was not the result of accident.
The room was then cleared of strangers, and in
about half an hour the jury returned a verdict of
"Temporary insanity," and the jury further begged
to state their detestation and abhorrence of the miser-
able manner in which labour was rewarded in all such
cases as the present.

HORNCASTLE.—The great horse fair terminated on
Wednesday, which is the largest for horses in England.
Some days previously to the opening of the fair on the
9th, several eminent dealers arrived, and visited the va-
rious stables in the neighbourhood, making extensive
purchases. On Saturday the fair began to assume a very
lively aspect, many strings of horses arriving, and
dealers dropping in from all parts, including about thirty
foreigners, principally from France and Germany, being
more than we have noticed for several years past. First-
rate animals quickly exchanged hands, at very high
prices. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, a' great
and
deal of business was transacted in hunters and park
carriage horses ; numbers of strings were leaving the
fair daily. Most of the business was done in the stables,
and a great number of horses have fetched from 150 to
250 guineas each. Mr. Loft, of Healing, sold a steeple-
chase horse for 300 guineas ; Mr. Quartermaine, of
Oxford, purchased a horse of Lord Worsley for 250
guineas a pair from Mr. Brookes, of Croxby, near
Caistor,for 400 guineas, and several others for 150 to
200 guineas each. Mr. Smart, of Coventry, Messrs .
Elmore, Dyson, Anderson, Collins, and Tawney, of Lon-
don, and Mr. Archer, from Suffolk, were extensive pur-
chasers of high-priced horses. The French and German
dealers bought largely—principally young mares. For
several years past, good horses have not been known to
fetch such high prices as at this fair. Of carriage horses

DEVIZES.--With the exception of a few drops of
rain on Tuesday we have a week had of uninterrupted
fine weather, and harvest work has made great progress.
Should the remainder of the week • continue dry the wheat
crop throughout the country
will generally be secured on
Saturday night. That the crop will be most abundant
is now beyond a doubt • the quality also is very tine,
but the colour of the wheat has been slightly injured by
the rain.—Wiltshire Independent.
GERMAN MANNERS, &c.—The Germans do not
address each other with the plural you, as is our custom :
thou denotes affection and familiarity. The common
mode of speaking to friends, acquaintances, servants,
shopkeepers, to everybody, indeed, is the third person
plural, sic, they : your own dog you treat with the du,
thou; the dog of your enemy with er, o r he. The Ger I
-
mans have a habit of staring, quite inconceivable.
speak, of course, of the people one chances to Meet tra-
velling as we do ; they will fix their eyes on you, and
never take them of for an hour Tr more. There is no-
thing rude in their gaze, nothing particularly inquiring,
though you suppose it must result from curiosity ; per-
haps it does; but their eyes follow you with pertinacity,
without any change of expression. At Rabenau, and
other country places, the little urchins would congregate,
from the neighbour lag cottages, follow us about, up
the hills and beside the waterfall, form a ring, and stare.
A magic word to git rid of them is very desirable ; here
it is : ask one of there, " Was will Cr?" " What does
he want ?" The er is irresistible : the little wretches
feel the insult to the very back-bone, an 4 make
off at
once.—Mrs. Shelley's Rambles in Germany and Italy.
