sugar, belonging to the Dutch government, have arrived
off the coast ; and one, consisting of 450 tons, had already
been sold in London) at 335. afloat. The other cargo still
remains unsold, though an offer of 545. has been made for
it, duty paid. This offer was refused, and the rate of 33a
afloat, was damanded, which is somewhat higher than 54s
duty-paid, as the landing charges and interest upon the
duty must be added.

A COZPORATION INTEnmniz:—The fondness of cor-
porate functionaries for good feeding, generally, has pas-
sed into a proverb. The Leeds corporation illustrate the
characteristic in a way peculiarly their own, for
informed by the Leeds papers, that the council

town, during a meeting last week, " adjourned-for twenty
minutes, and partook of the hospitality of the mayor,
who had kindly provided turtle soup- and sherry, ad
libitum." They returned from the feast to discuss the
state of the Leeds burial ground.

Food rioting has temporarily revived in the north.
Shippit, grain was, as before, the exciting cause, and
again the women figured as leading instigators. At Beau-
ly the rioters twice deforced and assaulted the authorities,
and threw.a cart over the quay, but seventy: soldiers from
Fnrt, f

oon restored order. Five men and one wo-
man were also carried off to Inverness jail. At Bailin-
traid, the mob, principally females, turned back the grain

is feared thaf there the civil

arm will require assistance.
On Tuesday evening, a respectable man applied at th
Lambeth police-court, for the magistrate's advice and
sistance to obtain possession of his son, a lad 15-,
age. who had been seduced from home by the widow of a

'ears of

distinguished officer, recently deceased. She was GO. The
first intimation the parents received of an improper inti-
macy, was by the lad giving up an excellent situation in a
merchant's office. The lady had made him rich presents,
and his parents had discovered that they were going.off to
Guernsey, to be married, Mr. Elliott, the magiStrate,
said the only course was; to get the lad away, give him a

good flogging, and keep him at home.
DREADFUL SHITIVRECK.—NINE LIVES LOST.—A large
brig, laden with iron, was wrecked on Sunday, at twelve
o'clock, mid-day, on the Nass Sands, and we are sorry•to
say that nine lives were lostrone man only saving himself
by swimming. Five "bodies are already picked up. It is
a melancholy fact to.relate, that the wretched crew were

assistance bein,

the time. The brig, no doubt, will settle doWn in the
sand and be entirely lost. There was a very thick fog in
the channel, and hence this deplorable disaster.—BrioN.

the sitting magistrate, said that it was no use committing
them, for he well knew they acted disorderly in order that
they might be sent to prison. He should therefore dis-
miss them. Some time after, they were again brought
up on a similar charge: Findingthat leniency failed, the
worthy magistrate tried the other recourse, and committed
them to Brixton Gaol for twenty-one days. At this sen-
tence the unfortunate wretches seemed rejoiced.
ROBBERY OF •C10,000.--A robbery of no less a sum
than £lO,OOO, in Bank of England notes, was on Tuesday,
about one o'clock, effected in the vicinity of the Royal
Exchange. A clerk in the service of Strahan, Paul, and
Bates, bankers in the Strand, had been collecting in the
course of the morning at several of the city banks, and
the last place he called at was Deacon's bank, in Birchin-
lane. On leaving, he carelessly deposited his leather case,

got clear off. A reward of 4;500 is offered for the restitu-
tion of the notes.

ABUNDANCE OF CORN IN THE NOBTH OF ENGLAND.
—Letters from Northumberland, Durham, and parts of
Westmoreland and Cumberland, advise that never were
corn stacks so abundant, and that even stocks of old
corn (1845) were yet on hand, waiting the highest prices
to be obtained, the limit of which was supposed not to be
then attained. The banks had been• liberal in their ad-
s upon improving prices, and the farmers, there•
were enabled to hold, and, if accommodation were
