The laft week's importation of Wheat was con-
fined to 7523 quarters; of Oats there were 20,304
quarters; about moo quarters of Rye ; 4000 cwt.
of Rice ; and Soo of Wheat Flour.
Rice has rifen in price nearly 4s. per cwt. within
a few days; the bell new Carolina fells at 3os. A
few weeks will bring many thoufand cwt. to the
market, and there is, in fall, more in the country
at prefent than at any former period, -fo that the
dealers. who now flint the fopply, in order to en-
hance its price, will probably fuller by the (pecu-
lation.
Refined Sugars felt a general deprelflon during
the laft week, but raw articles held their prices,
though of heavy Pale. Teas, with the exception
of belt Souchong, are cheaper.
At the Coal Exchange, on Friday, the bell Coals
(Wall's End) ibld at 4ts. per chaldron.
The price of flour in America has, in .confe-
quence of the great demand, rites to 13 dollars
per barrel ; fo abundant Was the laR harvell, that
the farmers did not calculate to receive more than
five dollars per barrel.
The audience at the Opera were much alarmed
on Saturday night by an appearance of fire, which
had caught the drop curtain, as it was let down,
by its linking the fide lamps of the •fiage. The
lower part of the curtain was in flames, when one
of the Scene-fhifters, with great pretence of mind,
climbed up one of the ropes attached to the cur-
tain, and tort off the part on fire, vilhiels falling
an the Rage, was foon extinguifbed.
The audience were about to leave the Honfe in
the bell manner they could get away, when Mr.
KiLLY came forward to allure them that all was
fife, and the ballet then proceeded without inter.
!a ton.
Wednefday afternoon, during the tremencioni
thunder-Rorm, the lightning (truck the dwelling-
houfe of Mr. HtLi., of Markfbury (fie-miles from
Bath), and in a fhort time reduced it to allies.
Mrs. Hilt., with her infant, about three months
old, and her filler-in-law, were the only perfons
then in the houfe; and they had previoully bolted
the doors and doled the window-lhutters, through
fear of the lightning, when, in an inftant, fome
(tones fell down the chimney, attended with (parks
of fire, emitting a Rrong and fulphntous
The filler-in-law was buck lifelefs to the ground;
on examination of her body afterwards, the only
marks of injury that appeared, were fome livid
(pots on the neck and (boulders; the was Rending
with her back towards the fire-place at the time of
the accident. Mrs. HILL, who fat dole by her,
fled with her child into an adjoining room, and
remained in a Rate nearly of linperaetion, until
the neighbours, drawn by the cries of fire uttered
by a few who law it, *trembled in great numbers,
and having forced open the doors, relieved the
poor woman and her child, uninjured, from their
horrid fituatioc; both of whom, but for this
timely effort, mull in a (bort time have fallen a fa-
crifice to the flames. which were fo rapid in
their progrefs, norwithßanding a heavy fhower of
rain, that a fmall part only of the furniture could
be preferred. Mrs. HiLL has 101 l nearly all her
clothes, and we have farther to lament the lofs of
a confaderable rum in bank notes, which Mr. HILL
had depofited in one of the bed rooms, the fame
morning. The thatch of the houfe having been
mach dried by the late warm weather ferved to
accelerate the deftrullitin of the premifes. On the
eaR of the honfe, and at a diflance of not more than
twelve feet, there Rood a long building corLfilling
of a barn, liable, &c. and which, like the dwelling.
haute, was covered with thatch; this was preferv-
ed by the exertions of the people, though large
flakes of flaming Rraw were frequently carried
upon it from the honk. There was alto a large
hay-rick not more than five feet from the well end
of the book, which was alto fortunately preferred.
The premifes were not infored.
A man and boy were Bruck down by the light-
ning at Blofield, in Norfolk, on Wednefday laR,
hut foon recovered ; the rain fell in great torrents,
yet happily no injury WO doom $l.O teen.
