MARK-LANE CORN EXCHANGE.

During the pint week rather an extensive supply of Eng'ish
Wheat came to hand from Lincolnshire, but from Essex and
Kent the receipts of that article of grain were only to a mode-
rate extent. Of other kinds of grain the arrivals were by no
means large. Fresh up the supplies of Wheat coastwise, as well
as by land carriage and sample, were only moderate, yet we had
rather an extensive show of parcels of both red and white, ow-
ing to which the demand for all kinds cf Wheat of home pro-
duce was in a very sluggish stag. However, the finest quali-
ties were mostly disposed of at fully last week's quotations, but
all other kinds were a mere drag at barely late rates. The ge-
neral condition of the samples was inferior.
The imports of foreign Wheat have been small, and we had very
few samples here to-day. Generally speaking, holders were firm.
The finest qualities commanded a fair inquiry, at very full prices.
in other kinds next to nothing was doing.
A few speculative sales took place in bonded Barley; but
other Corn, under lock, was almost nominal in value. The
show of Barley was tolerably extensive. Fine parcels so dat a
decline of Is. ; other kinds Is. to 2s. per qr., and a large portion
remained over for Wednesday. The Malt trade was very dull,
and, in some instances, the rates were somewhat easier. The
show of Oats was good, while all descriptions met a slow in-
quiry, at barely last week's quotations. In Beans very little
was doing, at an abatement of is. per quarter. Gray and Ma-
ple Peas were Is. per quarter cheaper, Flour, and all other ar-
ticles, were very dull.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.

Compared with that exhibited on many previous Monday's,
the supply of Beasts on sale was but moderate, while its gene-
ral quality was very interior. The Beef trade this morning was
active, at an advance in the currencies obtained on this day
se'nnight of quite 2d. per 81bs. ; the best Scots, &c. readily pro-
ducing 4s 2d per Sibs.. and at which improvement a clearance
was effected without difficulty.
During the week the imports of live stock at Hull have amounted
to 96 Beasts and 40 Sheep; in London 72 Oxen and Cows, exclu-
sive of 40 Sheep. To-day we had only five Beasts and 20 Sheep of
fering from Holland. The whole found buyers at a trifle more
money. The arrival of Beasts from Lincolnshire, I.eicestershire,
and Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,400 Short Horns.
From Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, 300 Scots, &c.
from the Western and Midland Counties, 600 Devons, Herefords,
Bunts, Irish Beasts, &c ; from other parts of England, NO of va-
rious breeds, and from Scotland 200 Horned and Polled Scots.
The supply of Sheep was only moderate, hut quite equal to
meet the wants of tile buyers.- Prime old Downs commanded a
steady inquiry, at an advance in the quotations of 2d. per Sibs.,
the highest figure being 4S. 2d. ; but in the value of other qua-
lities no var]ation was noticed. The Veal trade was extremely
inactive. There was a steady business doing in the primest
Pigs, but other qualities were a mere drug.

DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.—Perhaps one of the most ar-
Lcting suicidal tragedies that has happened in the metro-
polis for many years occurred yesterday at a very early
hour, a' tce dwelling of a Mr. Duckett, an accountant.
No. 9, Haven-row, Mile •end, viz „the self destruction of
Charles Win. Duckett, aged 21, son, and Elizabeth Wil
hams, aged 22, lovers, from the effects of prussic acid.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—During Sunday last a robbery
took place at the bank of Messrs. Rogers, Olding, and
Co., St. Clement's-lane, and notes and gold to the amount
of £40,000 were stolen. It appears that the money was
deposited in the iron safe ; and, as usual, a clerk was ap-
pointed to watch ouer its safety during the day, and ano-
ther clerk to perform the like duty during the night. One
of the partners remaining at home on Sunday, the day
clerk asked permission to go out for a few hours, which
was granted. At the accustomed hour in the evening the
other clerk came, and remained during the night ; but
when business was resumed yesterday, and the iron safe
opened with the ordinary key, it was found entirely empty;
and yet no force whatever had been used to rid the chest
of its valuable contents. Of course, all is conjecture
upon the subject. Notes to the amount of £35,000 have
been stopped at the Bank.
