PRICE OF CORN.

Wheat declined yesterday 2s. per quarter at ?Jerk lane.
en much for the faets of the smallness in quastity and
of the remarkable goodness of quality, of the crops just
harvested, haviag the effect of keeping sip Me price".
It has bees an expectation indulged by some persons
that this effect would be caused, In the first place, by the
usual operation of the first of these circumstances, and,
in the next place and principally, by the speculation
which would be the consequence of the second. Specu-
lation, however, we are informed, most rationally turn►
upon a continued fell of prices, notwithstanding such
circumstances, unless we can anticipate larger issues ot
paper; for which we can see no grounds while aware of
the reductions still making by the Bank.—As we ex-
ported (in our paper of Wednesday last)flour has fallen,
full Ss. a sack. Bread ha. fallen to ltd. per lb.

Tug ROLLIAD —•lt is much to be lamentel, that the
*others of the Reified have ceased from their labours
The recess marriage of the Here of that inimitable
piece would, by their means, have been fruitful, at
Wet, of wit sad humour. His noble bride, the sister
of Lord Clinton, is. we understand (tom the provin-
cial papers. in her 27th year ; Lord Rolle is said to be
seer 70.
The Rev. Dr. Chalmers. the celebrated preacher of
Glasgow, is at present in London, and on Sunday
meriting last, was invited to preach a seem an. in the
Oaledoniao Chapel, Hatton-garden. for a Charity be-
loughs to the Chapel. From the known popularity
of the preacher, apprehensions were entertained thew
muse accident might occur. in consequence of the
mrowd that would assemble. Application was made sr
Hatton-garden Office. when the chief constahlr,
William Read. Limbrick, and E !war la, were de-
sired to lend their assistance. Early in the morn-
big the numbers were so great, the officers fore-
goer, that if the doors were opened in the ordinary
way, the pressure would be such that the conseq
most be serious. Some who bad tickets were then let
Is by a private door, and the main entrance was pro-
tected. bars being placed across. The officers placed
themselves on both sides of the door, and the congre-
gation were let in one by one. An excellent sermon
wits preached by t►e eloquent Doctor, and a liberal
collection made for the charity.
It appears not to be generally known that by an Act
of Parliament (59 Gee. 111. c. 113.) shopkeepers and
ethers are wholly relieved from the tel of 2/. per son.
es all the apprentices who are bound to serve until
they arrive as the age of 21 years.
A gentleman of Buckinghamshire (a fire-work-
maker) has discovered a plan for letting off fire-works
lu water, which will prevent the danger attendant on
their exhibition on land. Being light' d, they are
thrown into the water, and sink to the bottom, however
deep ; after operating there some time. they rise to the
top, and display themselves in a touch more brilliant
manner than wises let off in the usual way.—(.4ples-

took place In Peckham-fields. between Mr. E—k.
a Gentleman from Hampshire, aad a Gentleman well
known In all the sporting circles. The Ceentry Gen-
tleman, who has not been above a week its tewa, lost
3001. at earde, of which the other 0.110103110 was toe
principal winner. A Mr. J.. a friend, who met Mr.
E. accidentally in the street, told him he had no doubt
thug be bed been made the dupe of sharpers, and mi-
-1 der this impression the challenge was given, and in-
stantly accepted. The parties fired two shots each,
and in the last Mr. E. wounded his opponent is the
thigh, receiving the latter's ball through his hat. A
Medical Gentleman was on the spot, and d d the
wound, which he pronounced to be only& flesh wound,
and not dangerous.
Yesterday a woman was conveyed to the Borough
Compter, charged with the wilful murder of Celia-
rine Scroggins. Yesterday two boys came to the
Town Hall. Southwark Police Office, and stated that
la woman had jest been murdered in It.hin Hood-
court, Ball-court, Tooleystreet. An offieer was de-
spatehed to inquire into the truth of the statement.
He was introduced to a house, in the garret of which
be found a woman lying on the floor covered with
blood; and to all appearance dead. There were
several wounds on her head ; on the ceiling of the
room, and on the mantic-piece were 'narks of blood
which bad gushed from the wounds. lo the room
was a poker spotted with blood, which appeared to be
'the instrument which indicted the wounds. A sur-
geon was sent for who examined the woman; Le had
dittls hopes of her recovery. The person stated to
have committed the act was secured. She was con-
voyed to the Compter, and ordered to be brought be-
fore the Alderman, at the Town Hall, to-morrow.
The surgeon found en the bead of Scroggins two des-
perate wounds. two inches and a half in length, and a
deep inscised wound which injured the brain. A Mrs.
liteeson was the only person who witnessed tie attack
upon Mrs. Scroggins. She stated that the prisoner
asked Mrs. Scroggins for 9J., which she owed her.
She said that she did not owe her a farthing, and
upon the prisoner saying that is was a falsehood, she
seised her by the hair of the head, and beat her with
a poker, till the blood poured along the door, arid af-
ter Scroggins bad fallen, she still contiaued to beat
her with the poker, and repeatedly kicked her on the
ribs. Mrs. (Beeson cried " Murder," and polled the
priesuer away as well as she was able. The officer,
after lodging her in the Compter, brought the poker
to the Town Hall. The Alderman directed the offi-
cer to obtain a certificate of the wonoded woman's
health, and produce it before hiss this day, when he
would give directions concerning the piisoner.
