We have again to notice a verified import of Yoreigs Produce,
owing to the continuance of easterly winds.
Corrou Woor..—.The import is only 442 ; the salts amount to
9,410 bags, at a slight decline on every description.
&due, &c.—We have had a better demand for Sugar, and 700
hbds. have been disposed of at our last quotations. At ttie public
sale of 100 casks Jamaica Coffee, good and clean descriptions
brought full prices; 150 casks Demerara Molasses have been sold
at 275. 3d. to 28s. In Cocoa, nice, Ginger, and Pimento there have
been no sales worthy of notice.
Paousious.—Prime Butters continue to be in good demand. In
Beef and Pork there has been a fair business done; as also in
Bacon, at from 431. to 455. per cwt:
CORN RICHANGL.—At to.day's matter there was a good attend-
ance of dealers. For Oats there was a steady demand, and sales to
a moderate extent were effected at prices scarcely equal to our last
quotations. For Wheat the demand was confined to small par-
cels for town's consumption, and for which last week's prices may
'be repeated. Beans were rather more inquired for, but without
producing any advance. Barley and Peas were very dull, and
rather looking down. For sweet Rota, in bond, the demand last
week was good, and several parcels were taken for export at for-
mer quotations. Of Wheat, in bond, there have been no sales, nor
bas there been any inquiry for it.

FATAL EFFECTS OF GOING INTO TUE DEN OF A
LION.—On Thursday evening, the follow ing dreadful
occurrence took place:—At the Sur Inn, Bedminster,
was a caravan of wild beasts, and the keeper, being in
want of an attendant, a young rump of the name of
Josh. Peddle, a native of Sherborne, who had been ac-
customed to the business from his infancy, offered his
services on Wednesday, and was accepted. He was,
however, cautioned not to go within reach of any of the
►eaasts; this caution he unfottunately neglected. A
party came to see the animals, and as the lion was
asleep and did not appear willing to rise, the man im-
providently went into his den; the lion suddenly
awakened, and probably hungry, and alarmed at the
presence of a stranger, darted forward a paw, with
which he seized the showman by the shoulder, at the
same moment with the other he dreadfully lacerated the
face. The miserable man cried piteously, and strug-
gled to get loose, but all his efforts were in vain, and
the lion now infuriated, seized him by the throat with
his mouth, and held him in that situation till death put
an end to the too horrible sufferings of the victim. A
Gentleman instantly brought his pistols, and another
person called to a blacksmith, who had a piece of red
hot iron, to afford assistance, but it was twenty minutes
before the animal would quit its prey, although its mouth
was much burned; at length the head of the union°,
nate victim fell from his jaws, a spectacle too
for description, when the body was drawn
cage. An Inquest is to be held on the body
