THE MARKETS.

CORN-EXCHANGE, JAN. 21.--Tbe continued
obstruction to the Navigation of the River, owing
to the large quantity of floating ice, which renders
it dangerous for the vessels to haul off from the
wharfs, and the hopes of a regular resumption of
business by next Monday, caused our sales to be
very trilling this morning, as only necessitous
Buytrs appeared at Market, and the demand was
so small, that no alteration can be quoted in the
prices of any Grain.

SMITHFIELD MARKET, JAN. 21.—This morning's Market
was but a middling supply of Cattle, and although of
a scanty description, the prices are somewhat lower than last
Market day, and -bargains arc done with some difficulty, as
the Butchers are not very eager to purchase; Mutton, Veal,
and Pork is also reduced in price.—The Hay Market remains
as usual, and prices are much the same as per last Market
day ; Straw and Clover as per our last quotation.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 19 —The Marquess and Mar.
chioness of Cholmondeley, the Marquess and Mar-
chioness of Conyngham, tie Earl and Countess of
Warwick, and a select eitele of Nobility, had the
honour of dining with the Regent yesterday.—
The company was somewhat increased in the even-
Pig, when the Royal band were in harmonious at-
tendanee. This evening, the Lord Steward and
family, E. Vernon, and a small, party, will dine
with his Royal Highness.—This town, will agairi
have to regret ithe absence of the Illus'trious Pa-
tron, very shortly 3 his Royal Highness departs
for Carlton4louse on Friday.
ATTACK ON THE MAIL—The Coach from Dub-
lin to this City was attacked last night by a punt-
her of armed men, at a place called Five Mile
Bridge, between the hours of twelve and one
o'clock. A barrier of cars had been placed across
rhe road for the purpose of stopping the coach,
and on its arrival at this impediment, a fire com-
menced from behind the ditches against the
Mail. One of the Guards named M`Gowan, was
wounded in the arm in the act of raising his
blunderbuss to discharge it, but the other main-
tained a rapid fire on the assailants ; and its
the mean time the Coachman, Patrick Daly,
with great dexterity and resolution whipped
on his
.horses, and by the impetus of the Coach,
aided by the slippery nature of the roads,
succeeded in bursting through the cars, and
drove off without further injury. A Gentleman
of the name of Nugent is, however, snissing.—
He was an inside passenger, but having been
taken ill at Nine-mile house, about four miles
from the place of attach 'went outside ; and on
the commencement of the firing jumped off the
coach, and has not since been heard of. The
wounded Guard was left at Cloamel, and we
understand his arm must be amputated.—The
place where tie attack happened is five miles
to the north of Clonmel ; and the Water-
ford coach 'had been attacked near the same spot
a few hours betore, hut escaped without injury.
We have not heard whether any of the assailants
were hurt.—(Cork Advertiser, Jun. 15 )
ATTEMPT AT FIRE RAtsiNG.--Early on the
morning of Friday, the 7th inst., some incendia-
ries attempted to set tire to the storehouse at the
Shotts Iron-works, by breaking a pane of glass,
and throwing a burning peat into one of the
apartments fortunately the room was occupied
at the time by the clerk
.aed the baker, upon
whose bed it alighted, and who succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames before any thing was con.
sumed, excepting some loose straw,—(Edinburgh
Pappr.)
