ALARMING FIRE.

WANTAGE, Nov. 14.—A most alarming fire broke out this
morning about one o'clock, upon the extensive farming
buildings occupied by Mr. Wm. Trinder, which were in a
very short time totally destroyed, together with a quantity
of seeds, &c.: Fortunately the very valuable cart-horses were
not at home, otherwise they would have inevitably perished.
By very great exertions a large rick of beans and poults was
saved, and further damage prevented. At present the origin
of this calamity is quite unknown, and the proprietor is so
very universally beloved and respected by all classes of so-
ciety, that it is difficult to imagine any one could be so base
as to wilfully injure him. The adjoining workshop and stores
of Mr. R. Southby, wheelwright, was also seriously damaged,
but we understand he is partially insured for the amount.
P.S. There is every reason to believe this has been the
diabolical act of some incendiary.—.(From a Correspondent.)

MONDAY MORNING, NOVE

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
It is now pretty generally understood that there will not
be any alteration in the corn duties until the meeting of the
next session of Parliament. Thus are the hopes of the mer-
cantile classes tampered with, and that, too, with the pros-
pects of a severe winter before us and a scarcity of food for
the great mass of the people. It may be said to have been
demi-officially announced that a Privy Council is to be held
next week, for the important topic of convening Parliament
in the month of January, "for the dispatch of business." As
there is an imperative necessity for immediate steps
being taken to provide for the deficiencies in the wheat
and potato crops, the sooner the Council assembles
th• better. It will not do for Ministers to heed
the usual vacation, and the prolongation of the
Christmas festivities, and indulging in " guttling and guz-
zling," as Hunt used to term city feasting, while the peo •
ple are enduring, quietly hitherto, all the evils of high-
priced provisions. If any remedial measure is in contem-
plation to stave off high-priced bread, let it be done " speedy
and soon," as that prompt man of business said in the panic
of 1825-6, the late Sir William Curtis.
At the periodical sale of Railway Shares, held at the Hall
of Commerce yesterday, there was a very good attendance.
An evident disposition was shown to hold bond fide lines

mail is in, but we have no private commercial accounts of
interest.

results, upon a comparison with the preceding statement :-

in the seven days bills.
A decrease is shown in the quantity of bullion held of
162,094/. ; viz., from 13,885,642/. to 13,722,948/.
Consols for Money and the Account have very f:rmly
maintained:their value this morning, in the absence too of any
material demand. For Money the price has been 9614 14,
and for the Account 96% and %. It is pretty evident from
the state of the market, as respects Consols for transfer and
for time, that the Bears have oversold themselves. The
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have reached 974. India
Stock has advanced to 263, Bank Stock 203, and the pre-
mium on Exchequer-bills has fluctuated from 245. to 275.
Not much business has been done in the Foreign Im-
vestments to-day. Spanish Actives opened at 291, and
have receded to 28%, The Three per Cents. are at 37%.
The Dutch Four per Cents. have improved from 93% to 94%,
the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 60 ; Mexican to 30%; and
Buenos Avres to 41, a fall of 7 to 8 per cent.
In the Railway Share Market a good deal of business has
been transacted this morning, and the prices look firm. The
official list is annexed.
