The following table (says the Precurseur) seems calculated
to interest our readers respecting the imports during the nine
months ending Sept. 30. The following imports bave been
entered at the Custom-house of Antwerp. We warrant the
correctness of the figures, which have been taken from
official sources :

Wheat 51,210,804 kilogrammes
Rye . . 5,003,888
Barley
Oats
Buck wheat
Beans 179,275 1
Vetches
Potatoes
We must observe that importations imported before the 80th
of Sept. are not included in the above table, which contains
only what was entered at the Custom-house. The table
seems calculated to allay the alarms of the country with
respect to the articles of subsistence. If potatoes are not so
plentiful as might be desired, there is a compensation in other
articles. Besides, the imports continue, and will be more
considerable in October and November than in the preceding
months. _ __

BANK OF CEYLON-(THIS DAY.)
The fourth General Meeting of this banking company, in-
corporated by royal charter, was held to-day in the Com-
pany's officlit Broad-street; Thomas Young, Esq., the
Chairman of the Board of Directors, presided on the occasion.
The report, read by the secretary, gave a very flattering ac-
count of the corporation. It stated that the bank had been
of the greatest benefit to the trade and commerce of the
colony, as well as profit to the shareholders. The business,
however, had increased so much that the directors recom-
mended the doubling of the capital by issuing cne new share,
of 251. each, for every one at present held by the proprietors.
The report concluded by recommending a dividend of 3i per
cent. for the half-year, out of the undivided profits in hand on
the 30th June last; payable on the 15th of November ensuing.
After some brief remarks from the Chairman, who stated
that the bank from the beginning had been so well managed,
that not a single-bad debt had been incurred, the report was
adopted, and resolutions founded on its recommendations
unanimously agreed to.
The Court having passed a vote of thanks to the Chairman
and Board of Directors, broke up.

SUDDEN DEATH OF COLONEL ADEY, LATE OF THE
30 Gu Amos. —On Wednesday an inquest was held before William
Carter, Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, at the Lord Nelson, Old
Kent-rood, on the body of Thomas Adey, Esq., aged 69, late of
the 3d Guards, who died under very melancholy circumstances. Mr.
W.. G. Acley,of No. 2, Claremont.place, Old Kcnt.road, stated that
the deceased was his father, and resided in the same house. On
Friday last he dined with his family at three o'clock, and ate very
sparingly of fish. He had been subject to paralytic attacks, and
at five o'clock said he would go and lie down. He got up from his
seat and went to the bedroom, when he took off his
coat and waistcoat. He then requested his wife to unbuckle his
stock, but before she could get to him he fell down on the floor in
a powerless state, and upon witness going to him discovered he
was black in the face. A medical friend was sent for, but before
his arrival the deceased was dead, having lived but five minutes
after the first attack, and witness had no doubt it was caused by
apoplex.y, and not by anything ,he bad taken. Verdict—" Died
from natural causes." Previous to the commencement of this in-
quiry the coroner fined a Mr. Harrison, who had been summoned
on the jury, 40s. for not attending, and said that in all cases it
would be necessary to adopt a similar course; persons so fined
must also be aware that having once inflicted the fine he had no
power to remit it, and it would certainly be enforced.
FREEMAN, THE AMERICAN GIANT.—This well-
known pugilist and performer is no more. He expired in Win-
chester Hospital on Saturday last. His complaint was consump-
tion—we might almost say atrophy. He was wasted to a complete
skeleton.
COUPAR ANGUS.—" THE HONEST AUCTIONEER."
—The well-known John Macfarlane, formerly auctioneer at Bur-
relton—who was outlawed about ten years ago for failing to ap-
pear to stand trial before the High Court of Justiciary, for for-
( gery, perjury, &c., and who then fled into Holland—made a dash
last week, under the guise of a foreigner, into the district in which
he formerly resided, and proceeded to purchase quantities of po-

to endeavour to apprehend him. He had taken the alarm, how..
ever, and bolted for the continent the previous day, so that instead
of the outlaw, the officers merely secured his calling card, of
which the following is a• copy —" J. Tortolon, shipbroker,
