Church together, yesterday (Sundae) evening, and the
deceased appeared to he then quite well. She rid nor.
complain of anytkng ailing her. During the sermon, the
deceased said to tee, " Oh, my heart is bird !" I asked
her if she would go out, but she did not answer rne, and
fell against my shoulder. with her head hanging down.
As she appeared to be in a fit, I grit her out with the
assistance of another lady ; nod a surgeon, who was pre-
sent, together with some other gentlemen, came to her,
but she never spoke after, and d.ed in about ten niit.wes.
A car was procured, and she was removed home to Pros-

PREPARED TilinFn.--Mre have been favoured by Mr.
Rea, with a practical ch"mist, some specimens oftmber
submitted to a process that renders it imperviEnts to dry-
rot, an object of the greatest importance to strip-builders.
Unlike previous inventions of the k.nd, it des nt.t de-
stroy the edges of the tools used in forming it to any re-
quired shape; and what is more peculiar. it in a great
measure resists combustion. anti even when withdrawn
from a fierce fire will •hecorne instantly black, and not
moulder as ordinary timber
would, proving its applica-
bility for the flooring of fi•e-proof warehottFes Mr. Rea
has offered to show his experiments to any one interested.
The mortality of Eng'and is lower than that of France,
Prussia, Austria, and Russia.

LAST NI6-HT'S MAIL,

EXECUTION —Yesterday morning, the convict Connor
suffered the extreme penalty of the 14vv at Newgate, for
the murder of Mary Brothers, in a brothel. He ackrr,vr-
!edged to having committed the murder, bet said that he
had done so in a moment of mental aberration, to whrcht
he asserted he was subject, through an injury tie received
some time ago in the head. The culprit ascended the
scaffold with much ficamcss. He died with little, if any.
struggling.

-YESTERDAY.

The duty on most of the foreign seeds, cake, &c., is now taken
off, and the importation tree. The ‘.:eather since our last report
has become most lavorzrabie for the growing crops and our
wheat market to-day with a short supply of English must be
noted Is. to 2s. lower for all but picked samples. which hardly
support the currency of this thy week. There was scarcely a
transaction reported in free foreign and bonded.
Grinding barley and peas fully as dear. Malt and beans the
turn cheaper.

•
We have had a liberal supply of oats during tie past week ; a
few additional cargoes o. torcign got up this tnorning. The
extreme fineness of the weather deprived the trade of that tone
which existed last w;ek, and the country buyers were or willing
purchasers at former prices, the result of which was, a dull sale,
at barely last week's terms.

In consequence, we presume, of the late advancement in the
quotations, the bullock droves fresh up for this. morning's
market were on the increase and large for the time of year,
while we may observe—notwithstandi the epidemic was much
complained of—the condition of the beasts, as to weight, was
good ; indeed, we have no: had a better display of beet on any
market day during nearl.• the whole of the present season.
These circumstances, together with the arrivals of slaughtered
meat from the north being on the increase, had a depressing
influence upon the beet trade, and the quotations suffered art
abatement of quite 2d per slb—the very highest figure for the
best Scots not exceeding 4s 4d per 81b.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re-
ceived 1800 Scots, homehreds, and shorthorns; while from the
I northern csunties, the receir s comprised tae shorthorns ; from
the western and midl umd distri, is, 2t.0 Herefords, runts, Devons,
&c.; from other parts of England, 10 of various breeds; and
from Scotland, 550 horned and polled Scots.
As we have anticipated the number of sheep for our market
continue small—there being here, to-day, TEN THOUSAND LE99
than were brought forward et the correspor.d ng period of 1844.
For nearly every breed—trt more particularly the prime old
Downs—the demand was somewhat active, at fully, but at
nothing quotable beyond, last week's currencies.
From the Isle of Wight 2.:0 lambs came fresh to hand, but
the general supply of that description of stock was small. The
lamb trade was steady, and previous rates w.-re well supported.
Calves and pigs, the snoplies of which were moderate, moved
off slowly, at unaltered figures.

There has been an immense amount f business done in the
Stock Exc!;ange this morning, accompanied with a general
advance in prices i.:(MSOIS have bCH last none for Money at
