With the exception of a large sale of Cheese, by auc-
tion, amounting to about 3,000 bales, which took place
last week, realising an advance of fully 2s. per cwt. upon
the previous sale, the AMERICAN PROVISION trade is very
barren of interest. Grease Butter is 2s. lower. The
present prices are :-

There is no change of moment to notice in the Woof,
market. Business continues as dull as it well can be. A
sale of 950 bales East India, held here on Thursday, was
but thinly attended, and only half of them were sold, in
consequence of the low prices offered. There will be a
sale of East India and other low Wools on the 27th inst. ;
a good portion of the East India is of the better class.
Scotch has been in moderate demand, without change in
. Imports for the week :—Foreign, from Bombay

As an exception to the general tenor of this day'sre-
port, the price of SILK has advanced Is. @ ls. Gd. per
lb, it being considered that the crop imehina will be small
this year. In the large business done latterly nearly
all the low and middle qualities have changed hands at an
advance of ls. per lb. The tr insactions have been con-
fined to the speculators. There has also been some im-
provement in the best qualities, which are Gd. to Is. per
lb. higher. The trade generally are waiting the result of
the public sale declared for 2nd of November, to see if the
advance is supported, as well as a confirination of the
former news of a short supply. In Bengals the prices are
Gd. to 9d. higher, and the stock very much reduced. In
Italian, Brussa, and Persian silk there is less disposition
on the part of the importers to sell, and the market is
firm, and but little offering. The deliveries at this port,
of China Silk, from 11th ult. to 19th inst., are 213 bales,
and our stock only 502 bales. In Silk Piece Goods,
during the month, there has been but little inquiry and
less disposition shewn by the importers to sell at present
rates.

MANSLAUGHTER.—On the 10th instant, an Irishman,
whose name is not known, and several others, were at an
inn in Oakhill, Somerset, where for some time they re-
millet.] drinking together, but nothing of any importance
was said by either party. The Irishman was very noisy,
but did not molest any one. Having left the home, he
was followed by a man named Sidney Bendall, a scuffle
ensued, the Irishman was thrown violently on_ the pave-

rnent, and received a severe blow on his head, which caused
his death on the following dad•. _

DEATH FROM F A BALF,-Ofl the 9th of
ne, while a man named Thomas •Threlfall, aged. 56
ars, a carter, was receiving in his cart a load of hemp,

from islessrs. Jackson and Co.'s warehouse, in St. James)
street, a bale of the article, weighing between two and
three cwt., fell upon him, from the door of the third
story, just as it was about to be lowered by the teagle,
and seriously injured him. It appeared, at the time, thai
the cane band .by which the hemp was slung had give!

to this, but to secure such package by a regular rope

string. The nn
