One of those tragic and unfortunate events which
once in while startles community, occurred in our

other reverses, produced melancholy, which has re-
suited thus sadly.
I enclose the me morandum you asked for descrp
tive OF the moneyed men Of Halifax. In every instance

perceive that the wealth which is concentrated among
some thirty three individuals amounts TO upwards

what is owned by Mr.. Cunard, might most Of it as
well be at the bottom of the ocean for all the benefit
it is to the community in the way Of enterprise.
Besides this class of persons, there from two to
three hundred traders and merchants-some Of whom
have retired from Understanding property worth
from twenty to forty thousand dollars each which
may be estimated at seven or eight millions more.

AUGUSTA MARKETS. Oct. 5.

TIE Crop.--The week just closed has been
of the growing crop, having been dry with cool
nights and warm days. The complaints, how.
ever, continue very general, from the disastrous
effects af the rains in August and September
GT'ocericS.-lhe transactions in the Grocery
market have been very fair for the season. The
stocks have been much Increased within the
two weeks and are now very complete in every
department. Coffee, notwithstanding the sli sht.
decline in northern market, remains firm at
our quotation. The supply is not large. The
stock of Sugars is very ample, and holders are
looking for higher prices, though we note no
change. SAY is held very firm, and as the stock
is small, holders anticipate a further advance
The supply of MOlasses is abundant and the
current rates correspond with our qutations.
Professions. The demand for choice article
of Bacon continues good, and prices are very
firm. Good hams are scarce and high. See
quotations, which afford fair index of the
market. In Flour we note no change. though
holders are very firm in their asking rates.
Grain. The transactions in Corn are con-
fined principally to the demand for City con-
sumption, and our quotations are barely sus-
tanned A large lot would not command over
65 cents. The demand for wheat continues
good at our quotations.
Bagging and Rope are in fair demand at our
