noon the show of good Sugars is very limited; the ad.
vance of last week is, however, firmly maintained, tad
the holders still confident of a further improvement. The
inquiries rater refined goods, from Ireland, from Urn.
pool, and from Glasgow, have lately been very germ',
owing, no donb*, to the very low prices here, in coup,.
rison with other markets. Large Lamps are ie demand

HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.—The sudden ad.
ranee, last week, in Yellow Candle Tallow from 3ls
to 40s. and 41s. attracted mach attention: the occasions
of the rise was the aceoast from St. Petershsre, station,
that extensive purchases for the London speculators had
been made, sad that the price titer, had advanced treat
97 to 110 roubles. It was also mated that the Mom
houses had sold for delivery extensively, is antiripuies
of purchases being made for them at Petersburg, and
alma generally on the opeadation that the prices here
would declines these sales were reported to be far beyond
the expected supply of 1922 t the market since has re.
noised firm ; to-day. Us. Hemp is heavy and rather
lower. In Flax there is little alteration. This foreseen,

335. 6d.

NAVAL STORES.—There is little rough Term_
doe now in the country; parcels amuld sell readily st
about 165.; the market will, no doubt, be affected by the

A very singular species of fraud was detected here
'last week. Some persons in the character of tobacco
smugglers invited the attention of the retail dudes is
that commodity to the advantageous bargain side%
non-payment of hay enabled there to oder. The
temptation was too stroag to be resisted, and sales to
a considerable ameent were made at, of coarse, eery
reduced prices. The exterior part of the rolls were
composed of tobacco of the very best qoality, made sp
in the neatest manner to the eye, but on peeetrating a
little way the fraud became apparent, as the elmie
inner part was one solid lump of adhesive clay! As
soon as the boas was discovered, the gong wes se.
cured, along with the whole apparatus; bat as the
complainants themselves had knowingly participated
in se illegal act, the parties were ditahargel—(Eras

Cos cesza's INQuaar.—Yesterday morning so Mores*
was held at the Grove House, Camberwell, on the body
of Anne Fish. twenty-eight years of age. servant to 31r.
Preston, of No. 4, on the Terrace, Camberwell-grove.
Mary Webb, a servant living at N 0.3 on tlveTetvace,
deposed, that on Friday last, between eleven sod twelve
o'clock io the morning, else was cleaning the wisdom'
in the third Boor of her master's house; she saw the de-
emed also cleaning the windows of the second floosie
her own home, and in a few seconds after else beard a
scream; on looking down, she saw the deceased falling
from the wisdow, bat before she reached the beton
her head struck agaiest a dog kennel in the area. Wit-
ness instantly ran into the street, and sent some per-
sone to deceased's assistance.

Jobe Rub, living at No. 4, on the Terrace, stated
that he saw the last witness greatly agitated in the
streets. and having learned the canse, he went into Mr.
Preston's back area, where be found the deceased stretch-
ed senseless, bleeding profusely from the bead. He car-
ried her into the borne, and immediately went for medi-
cal assistance.

Mr. Beam, a surgeon, deposed that he was riding
down the Breve very shortly after the accident occur-
red, and was requested by the last witness to attend the
unfortunate woman. He did so, and on examining her,
he found she had received three desperate wounds on
the head; there was also a dreadful contusion on the
left arm. He did not, however, think her death was
immediately occasioned by these injuries, but by a eves
cession of the brain, produced by the fall; she died on
Sunday afternoon.
The Coroner observed that there could be so doubt
but that the deceased's death was accidental. The Jury
returned a verdict to that effect.
[This is another instance of the danger of employing
female servants to clean windows: the practice is dis-
graceful.]
