For the time of year the supplies of Old Potatoes are
large. For all descriptions the demand is excessively heavy,
at prices varying from 20s to 70s per ton.
WOO 7. r:3A?2:'f•E'Z',
The imports of Wool during the past week have been
again extensive, they having amounted to nearly 3,000 bales.
The public sales, at which already about 12,000 bales have
been offered and nearly all disposed of, are going on ex-
tremely well, and prices are stealily supported. For English
Wool there is rather more inquiry, at very full currencies.
TALZIOW.
This market is very steady, and a fair moderate business
is doing on the spot for the season. In new Tallow there is
little passing ; the market price for the last three months is
40s 3d to 40s 6d, yet there are no buyers at above 40s.
Town Tallow is 40s net cash.

In consequence of the favourable accounts which have

LORD BROUGHAM AND MR. FITZ-

ROY KELLY.

The following letter stated to have been addressed by the Noble
and Learned Lord to a gentleman at Cambridge, is published in
the Cambridge thronick _ _

" Grafton-street, Thursday, July 3,

" My dear Sir,—You wish to know whether or not you are
likely to have a new election at Cambridge in consequence of
the death of my dear friend, Sir William Follett. I can
only say, I know not ; but I devoutly hope you may, for I
have known Fitzroy Kelly all his professional life, and I
certainly don't know a more worthy successor to him we have lost.
He (Kelly), with my valued friend, Sergeant Wilde, is indisputa-
bly at the head of our profession, and this, independently of my
personal regard, is enough to make me desire his promotion. He
Is destined for the highest places in the law, and his parliamentary
claims are proportionally high. Some one told me lately that his
vote on hfaynooth would hurt him. I fear you, my friend, are
also of that way of thinking, and that you may also deem me a
little heretical. All I have to say is, that no man in England hates
Popery more than I do, and in all its shapes and all its conse-
quences, secular as well as spiritual. But my support of the May_
nooth grant was quite consistent with that hatred which I express
on all occasions, as I did in giving that vote. You are one of
those with whom I wish to stand well ; therefore I have answered
your letter at large. Wishing you a Solicitor-General for your
Member, I am, yours sincerely,

" BROUGHAM."

FOOT-RACE ON WATERLOO-BRIDGE FOR 101.—
This morning the running match between Dodd and Munro for
V. aside came off on Waterloo-bridge. Thedistance was 200 yards.
After several efforts the start was made, Munro taking the lead for
fifty yards, when his adversary succeeded in coming up with him,
and at 100 yards the men were equidistant from the goal ; they
both exerted all their powers of celerity, and when within thirty
yards Munro had a lead of one yard of his opponent, who made the
last and ineffectual struggle, which concluded his defeat, and Munro
ran in the winner by two yards. Munro was the favourite.
The two Englishmen (Parker and Williams) in
whose possession four stolen Bank of England notes were found,
were tried and convicted in Paris, on Thursday, and sentenced—
Parker to be imprisoned for one, and Williams for eight months.
The bank notes were confiscated, but 240 sovereigns in gold, and
480 francs in silver, were returned to Williams, in whose posses.
lion they had been found.
THE LATE MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT WAL-
natl.—Up to Saturday night every effort to raise the body of the
late Mr. Harvey and that of poor Mr. Oakley, has been unavailing,
drags' having been used for two days without in the slightest
degree indicating the places where either of the bodies rest. It
was determined upon that a diver and bell should be sent for to
London, A messenger was accordingly dispatched on Friday, and
he returned the same evening with an expert diver, whe com-
menced his labours the following morning, but without success.
He descended twice or thrice in the day, and resumed the next
morning. The excitement still continues unabated; indeed it
would rather seem to increase in proportion to the difficulty of
procuring the bodies. The place is visited by thousands daily ;
and it is feared that the raising of the remains of the two much.
lamented gentlemen will be a work of great difficulty, only to be
effected by the lmmene.e labour o: pumping off the water.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT

The following account of one of theGIERS. most horridtlesl
ever committed is copied from the Akbar of .i

never yet submitted, as they live in immense caverns rbehreef

who did not partake of the savage fanaticism of the In°„"goa

of the 19th, when, losing all patience, and no longer hact"terl
hope of otherwise subduing these fanatics, who formed stPerAPere

wretches, who were being suffocated, were dreadful, an" pis
nothing was heard but the crackling of the faggots' dead
silence spoke volumes. The troops entered and found thi
