MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.)
cOVNINT-GAZDZIV.
On the whole, the supplies of Vegetables were tolerably
good, while the demand for them was steady, at prices about
equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight. Fruit was in
sluggish request, but not cheaper. Potatoes, from 3s 6d to 5s
per cwt ; Turnips, 2s 6d to 35 6d ; Carrots, 5s 6d to
7s ; Coleworts, or Greens, 3s to 4s ; and Leeks,

bundle ; Oranges, 5e to lOs ; and Lemons, 8s to 12s ; and
French Beans, 25 6d to 3s per hundred.
lEUTZGIIMPORD.
We had a steady demand for most kinds of Vegetables,
at full prices ; otherwise, the trade was in a sluggish state,
at barely last week's quotations.
NEINGATZI AND I.EADDNZA.III.•
Prime Mutton, Veal, and Pork sold freely, other kinds of
Meat slowly, at the following precis: —Beef, from 2s 4d to
3s 4d ; Mutton, 2s 8d to 3s 8d ; V, 3s 10d to 5s ; and Perk,
2s 8d to 4s 2d per 81bs, by the carcass. The supplies of both
Game and Poultry offering were extensive, owing to which
the demand ruled heavy, at barely last week's prices. Fowls,
3s to is ; Chickens, 2s to 4s ; and Ducks, 2s 6d to 6s. per
couple ; Hares, 2s to 3s ; Rabbits, Od to 8d ; Partridges, 2s
to 3s; Turkeys, 3s to 7s; Pheasants, 48 to ss; and Geese, 5s
to 7s each.

reserve the discussion of a general question for a future
period. Lord Howtcx thought the question fair, intelli-
gible, and most important, and contended that it involved
a point which should be cleared up before they proceeded
farther. Sir R. PEEL, at last urged by the general feeling
of the House to make some reply, adopted one of his
usual modes of explanation when placed in a difficulty,
by putting another question not at all applicable. In
place of enabling the House to ascertain what the people
really were to pay the West India proprietors, in
addition to the twenty millions already taken out of
their pockets, he put an absurd question about corn.
He went off at a tangent to a different subject, and left
the House as much in the dark as ever. Dissatisfaction
still prevailed, :when Mr. GLADSTONE came to the
rescue of the two Right Hon. Gentlemen, but
neither could be answer the question. He had
recourse, therefore, to that mode of argument in which
the Jesuits and their disciples, the Puseyites, are well
skilled. In their usual style he imputed bad faith
to his opponents. He charged Mr. COBDEN with hav-
ing put a question, not for information, but for the sake
of argument, and laid that down as a fact for his special
pleading. His object was evidently two-fold—to shirk the
question, and throw ridicule on Mr. COBDEN. He suc-
ceeded in the first, but the discussion to which the ques-
tion of the Hon. Member gave rise, showed that he
failed in the second. The general feeling of the
House was in favour of Mr. COBDEN, and
against the ex-Minister—who, whatever may
be his abilities, and however skilled he may be in Jesui-
tical logic, will find it difficult to convince practical men
and men of honest intentions by any other arguments
than those founded on fact.

The Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have been re-
ceived, but, as usual, they are very barren of intelligence!
The Three per Cents. closed at 344, at 60 days; the
Fire per Cents. at 254, at 60 days; and the Debt without
interest at 7i, at 60 days.

The foreign mail, which had been delayed by stormy
weather, arrived at a late hour this afternoon. The
principal subject of interest noticed in the Paris papers,
is the proposed conversion of the Five per Cents., which
meets with much opposition. The Peers, it is said, will
decide against it ; and the Finance Minister has re-
quested M. MURET DE BORD, who brought in a Bill on
the subject, to withdraw it for the session, but he de-
clined. M. LACAVE LAPLA.GNE considers it a just and
expedient measure, but objects to the introduction of it
at present. " The Committee who recommended it," he
said, " had used its right ; but he would be wanting in
his duty if he concurred in the proposition until the
last instalment of the loan lately contracted was paid,
and the penal enactments, now submitted to the appro.,
bation of the Legislature, should have put a period to
the existing scandalous jobbing in railroad shares.
Should the contrary opinion prevail, be knew the course
that a Minister of Finance ought to adopt." In answer
to a question in the Chamber, M. LIPLIGNE said it was
his intention to bring in a Bill for the conversion of the
stock next session, if it appeared then opportune.
The discussion in the Chamber of Peers on the Secret
Service Money Bill was still going on, but after the
speeches of Count MOLE and M. GUIZOT there had been
no others of importance. The Duke of BROGLIE was
expected to speak.
The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on
Thursday at 85.20; the New Loan at 86.20; the Five
per Cents. at 120.55 ; the Orleans Shares, 1,322.20 ;

A FAIR OFFER.
(From The Struggle.)
Sir Robert, we will change with Sou, if you please. In-
stead of free trade in four hundred and thirty articles, let us
have free trade in four only, and we will not bother you any
more for a long time to come. These are corn, animal food,
butter, and cheese. We ask no more, and we beg to say, we
will take no less.—Yours truly,
TWENTY-SEVEN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

LOSS OF THE RLTNNYMEDE AND BRITON.
The following letter from Capt. Doulty, of the Runnymede,
referring to the loss of these vessels previously reported, ,
has been received by W. Dobson, Esq., the secretary to
Lloyd's ;
" Runnymede, South Island, off East Coast,
Andaman Islands, lat. 12, 1 N. lon., about
9 3. 14 E., Nov. 15, 1844.
" I beg to state for your information that on.the 10th,11th,
and 12th of this month one of the most terrific hurricanes
raged in this vicinity, perhaps ever experienc(!d by man—it
was totally beyond description—which, after did by
and
rendering the ship an unmanageable wreck, with only one
boat saved, threw us ashore on the above isand, at one
o'clock in the morning of the 12th, aid, tlnrough the provi-
dence of Almighty God, without the loss of life. At daybreak
we saw on shore a large barque up among the trees, which
proved to be the Briton, (4 the Clyde, from Sydney to Cal-
cutta, with 311 soldiers, 34 women, and 51 children, with a
crew of 36 men ; boats all gone. T tie carpenters of both
ships set to work on our boat, which has been raised two
streaks, false keeled and decked, and leaves this day for as-
sistance. We are here in all 630 people, short of provisions,
and those more or less damaged. The water flows in at every
tide, and everything is destroyed ;
in fact, epe-half of us have
no shoes, and without a change of linen. No lives have been
lost in either case, except one man who attempted to swim
ashore."

LOSS OF THE MELLISH, FROM CIIINA TO LONDON.
The following account of the loss of the above ship is ex-
tracted from advice received at Lloyd's from the Captain
(Fawcett) :—The Mellish was lost on October 5, on the
south side of the North Danger of the Paracels, in a severe
typhoon. The ship struck about sixty milee E.N.E., one
half of the crew perished at the time the vessel was
lost, the remainder of the crew and master took to
the boats, and arrived at Pandaran Bay, situated in lat.
11, 35 N. lon. On the 27th October, on being visited by the
authorities, the captain urged how much they wished to be
sent to Singapore, or to any place where they could get a
passage ; they were then informed that they should be sent
in fifteen days ; tbey were afterwards told thirty days, and
on the 16th November the captain states that they had
altered the time to three months, so
that without they ob-
tained assistance from Singapore, they would be detained
there longer. The survivors, amounting to eleven in num-
ber, were all well on the 16th of November, except two, but
received bad food and were scantily clothed. The Chi-
nese up the country were very hospitable and kind,
but the Cochin Chinese quite the reverse, and
dirty in the extreme. The authorities bad confined
them to a fishing village in Pandaran Bay, which is de-
scribed by the captain as being a filthy place. It was subse-
quently reported that they would leave about February last,
in a Chinese vessel, for Singapore : the reason of their depar-
ture being protracted, was stated by the Chinese to be occa-
sioned by the monsoon, which seta In during the interyeaug

REWARDS FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICES.—The
officers added to the list in the army estimates for the year
1845, are----Major-General Sir James Henry Reynett,
K.C.H., 2001. per annum ; Major-General Sir Frederick
Stovin, K.C. 8., 2001. per annum ; Lieutenant-General
Henry Monckton, 1771. per annum ; Major-General Alex-
ander Thompson,loo/. per annum; and Major-General W.
A. Gordon, 1001. per annum : we annex the official record
of their services. Major-General Sir James Henry Reynett,
K.C.H., served on the expedition against Ferrol, in the
Mediteranean, and in Sweden, and on the Quartermaster-
General's Staff in Spain and Portugal, from 1808 to 1811 ;
and was present at most of the battles and sieges during
that eventful period; also in the Duke of Cambridge's Staff
in Hanover. Major-General Sir Frederick, Stovin, K.C.B.
served at Ferrol in 1800 ; Germany, 1805 ; Copenhagen,
1807 ; Sweden, 1808 ; battles of Corunna, Walcheren,
in
the Peninsula, and at the battles of Salamanca, Vittoria,
Pvrennees, Nivelle, Orthes, and Toulouse, also at New
Orleans. Lieutenant-General Henry Monckton served on
the continent in Germany and Italy, in Ireland in 1798, in
India, Cape of Good Hope, and the Mauritius ; has been
fifty years in the army, and fourteen years in command of
the 72d Regiment. Major-General Alexander Thompson
served most zealously during the greatest part of the war in
the Peninsula, was present on seven general actions, and
three times wounded. Major- General W. A Gordon served
in Holland in 1799, and Walcheren in 1809, and during the
greatest part of the war in the Peninsula, and was three
times wounded.—Naval and Miitary Gozette.
NOVEL SYSTEM OF DOG STEALING.—For several
days past extensive robberies of valuable dogs have been
committed in the Regent's and Hyde Parks, also Regent-
street and Portland-place. It appears that, generally, two
well-attired elderly females, dressed in handsome cloaks,
walk in company in the interior of the parks, and are fol-
lowed by two men having the appearance of mechanics, each
carrying a market basket. When a lady passes, who has a
favourite dog running on the gravel walks, it is picked up by
one of the women and placed under her cloak, and though at
the moment close to the person they have stolen the dog
from, such is the respectable appearance of the females, that
no suspicion is attached to them. As soon as opportunity
offers, they carry the prize to one of the men, who quickly
walks off with the animal, which is kept until a handsome
reward is offered.
BISHOP PHILPOTTS' MR. COURTEN AT.—At the
Athenasum Club, last week, there was a ballet for a certain
Mr. Courtenay, and some mischievous wag spread the report,
just before the balls were distributed, that this was the
Bishop's Mr. Courtenay, whereby the candidate ran a risk of
being black-balled. To avert this dreaded calamity, an
anxious friend went round to each member, whispering, " It

isn't the Bishop's Mr. Courtenay 1" and coming upon
Bishop Phillpotts, who is a steady hand at the club, he
whispered, " It isn't the Bishop's Mr. Courtenay," whereupon
the Bishop's bowed gravely, and the gentleman seeing
whom he had come down upon, blushed and went on.—
Western Times. _ .

SUFFOCATION BY A SHIRT COLLAR.—Last evening
Mr. Joseph Payne held an inquest at the Blue Anchor,
Coleman-street, City, on the 'body of Mr. Harry Barrett,
aged fifty-eight, a stock-broker. It appeared from the evi-
dence of Thomas Day, the waiter, that the deceased lodged
in the above house, and on Wednesday night at about twelve
o'clock went to bed rather worse for what he had been
drinking. The next morning an acquaintance called upon
him, and being unable to gain any answer to his repeated
knocks, the door was forced open, and the deceased was
found lying by the side of the bed, :rolled up in the clothes,
quite dead.. Mr. Edinburgh, surgeon, said that, from
the tightness of the deceased's shirt collar, he had no doubt
fiat he had died from strangulation. The surgeon thought
the deceased had got his feet entangled in the bed clothes,
and had fallen whilst walking across the room towards the
bell rope. Verdict—" Died from apoplexy."
LEICESTER STATE OF TRADE.—Trade remains
much the same as last week. Wools are still reported firm,
and fine foreign wool is on the advance. The spring trade for
hosiery and fancy goods is flatter than usual, owing to the
prolonged winter, but hopes are entertained of a brisk demand

There are papers to day to the 13th ultimo, from New
York. The exchange was 1093/ to 11014. Cotton was
rather duller than it had been. Stocks generally were more
in favour. Neither the United States nor England packet-
ships, from Liverpool, had been heard of, though more than
two months on the voyage.
The Bank of England during the week to the Ist instant,
increased its circulation by 272,5851., and its bullion by
276,7611. The rest is also materially larger—viz., to the
amount of 322,8911. The public deposits have increased
by 238,9851.
The English Securities are altogether nominal. Consols
realised 100 to 99% for Money, being very firm. Exchequer-
bills are 635. to 655. premium.
The Foreign Bonds are all very buoyant. Spanish Actives
realise 30% to %—a further improvement ; but the Three
per Cents. are not higher than 41 to %. There is evidently
an impression that something is likely to be done for the
holders of the former. Portuguese Converted have risen to
67f4 and 68%. Mexican Bonds have been 3614 to 36%,
and Brazilian 90%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been marked 63% to 63%. Russian are 1161,x.
There is a good deal doing in Railway Shares, but in some
instances prices are lower. Hull and Selby have risen again,
and also Churnet Valleys, Eastern Counties, and one or two
others. The French lines are very firm for the present.
