Corn Exchange, Jdly 13. The -Wheat Trade...
CORN EXCHANGE , Jdly 13 . The -wheat trade has lost the slightly improved tone wbich _idistinsuisbeil Friday ' s market . The supply from the home counties this morning , though moderate , was larger than on Monday last , and a decline of fully 2 s per qu _' _-trteriipou the rates ' of tliat day had to be submitted to , before it . could be disposed _ofr . upon foreign wheat holders were not inclined to give wayio the same cxtent , _and consequently very little business was done in it : the few sales made were , ihoivever , rather under late prices than otherwise—For barrel flour there is still a fair demand . — Barley brought the full rates of this day se ' nnight—Oats , of which tins arrivals from abroad continue large , were heavy sale at _adecline of Gd per quarter , unless formally fine fresh corn , which was in request , and made extreme prices . —Beans aad Peas were quite as dear as on Monday last ; but there -was not much doing in either .

Buyers have not shown themselves much in the market , pret ' ering to wait tlie eftect of an early harvest , whioh is generally looked for . The weather during the week has been hot , until Sunday evening , when we had a severe storm ; and since then there has been a considerable fall of rain at
intervals ; the atmosphere is much cooler . At this day ' s market we had a very good supply o wheat f rom the farmers , but the most of it inferior quality ; millers tried hard to buy at less money , but the farmers were very unwilling sellers at even late rates * , Foreign held lirmly , but not much business done . In barley , beans , and pe ns we heard of no transactions , and the supply of any of the articles was unimportant ; beans , however , aro tho turn dearer . Oats were bought i > t a shade less money , but not many samples offering _. Linseed and rapeseed remain as last quoted ; the reports from thu continent of tlie hitter are very favourable , and a line quality nnd low prices aro looked for .

STATE OF TRADE . Bradford . —There was a rather increased demand for wooL Prices remain stationary . There is a good supply in the staplers' warehouses . There is improvement in the Yarn trade . The export houses are very busy , and also for home consumption . Trices are a shade higher . Much unemployed machinery is being brought into use again . Though the day was a rainy one , there was an excellent attendance of buyers in our market , and a great number of pieces were purchased , but we cannot hear that prices advanced . Altogether the market wears a more prosperous aspect _____[ . ' . lluDnERSPiEM _) There has been a numerous attendance of buyer . < in the market , and a better business lias been done than for some time passed . The general disposition was to buy , but these terms were only acceded to when something ' like remunerating prices could be obtained , or a great many more goods wo . Id have changed hands . There has been a numerous attendance of buyers in the town _during the week ; both from London and the provinces ; and also many from Scotland and Ireland , consequently business has been better in the warehouses . From what we can learn , the stocks in the hands of _cus tomcrs are very low , and also in tho warehouses , as the merchants have done very little on speculation of late . Thc factories are more regularly employed than for some titno past , and the demand for . labour is expected to become general . Halifax . —There is no decided improvement in the _general stale of this market , though there is certainly h bet . ter feeling pervading the trade , ¦ ¦ and . strong hopes that a little while longer , and we shall have a better businessi The demand for wool is slack , but no further reduction iii price since last week's report .

afternoon last a man named Thomas Kirkland , one ofthe workmen employed in erecting the telegraph on the Birmingham and Derby railway , was accidentally killed . It appears that the unfortunate man had occasion to cross the lines , and seeing a train coming up , he endeavoured to run actoss before it passed , but in the attempt he was thrown down with _^ reat violence by the buffer of the engine , and the wheels oi the waggons passed over bis body , nearly severing jt in two .

FeAkFUL ACCIDEKT AT THE LATE MR . SERJEANT SpANKiE _' s . _—On Sunday night , shortly before eleven o ' clock , a daughter ofthe late Serjeant , who resides with her mother in Russell-square , in _ascending the staircase , for the purpose of going to bed , set fire to her dress , in consequence of alighted caudle having been left by one of the servants on the middle landing . The young lady , on seeini : that her clothes had become ignited , shouted "Fire , " and then ran into the drawing room , the flames at the time mounting over
the poor creature ' s head . In ' passing round theroom _, the muslin curtains _hanging at the window also became ignited , and for some time it was feared that the building would he destroyed . The butler instantly rushed into the apartment , and having the presence of mind he threw his mistress down and rolled her in the hearth rug , and . by that means ho _ fortunately succeeded in extinguishing the fire . Miss Spankie was most severely burnt about the body . She was instantly put to bed , and a medical gentleman was sent for .
Sinking of a Ship is the London Docks . —Yesterday about six o ' clock , the barque Eureta , from Sydney , which was hauled into the London Dock at eight o ' clock the preceding night , sank in the svoat basin alongside the north quay and opposite No . 3 warehouse . This very serious disaster occasioned great alarm in the dock '' and also in the surrounding district , It appears that dome of the custom-house officers in other vessels saw the Eureta settling down , and they raised an alarm . The only persons on board were two apprentices aud a revenue officer , and thev had scarcely reached the quay in tlieir ni » ht clothes when the shin went down . Jnfonuation of the occurrence having been forwarded to the dockmaster and Mr . Chandler , the siip ' ei intendant of the
establishment , they immediately engaged upwards of 100 labourers , and in a few minutes afterwards they were busily engaged , some in getting- but the cargo , principally bales of wool , and others in pumping the water out . The labourers continued to work with alacrity until eight' ' o ' clock last nightj whon they were relieved by another set , who were taken oh for the night . A great portion of the wool was got out in a damaged state . 'Although the pumps never ceased working for an instant , there was no apparent dimhiinution of the leak up to ten o'clock last night . About tliree hours previously , nn expert diver , named Jones , went down to examine the ship ' s hottoni and found a large hole on the larboard side
forwards , on the garbel streak , close to the keelson . It appears that wheu the ship was coming up the Pool on Saturday afternoon , she was run foul of by a collier " near the Snrrey Canal Dock buoy , and was obliged to bring up and let go her anchor , There is no donbt she set upon one of tlie flakes of her anchor , which caused the mischief , but when the mates and crew of the vessel left her safely moored in the dock , there was no appearance of ber having sprung a leak , nor was it suspected that she had shipped any water .. Jones haB been directed to go down again at" six o ' clock in the morning , when he-will stop up the hole with felt and planking .- The Eureta has brought home a most valuable cargo of wool and oil , from Sydney / estimated to be worth £ 25 , 000 .
Numerous Fires . —Between the hours of 7 . p . m . on Saturday , anil 3 , a . m . on Sunday , not fewer than 5 fires occurred in . the metropolis , of which the following are the particulars : —One took place at No . 5 , Paradise-street , Rotherhithe , in the occupation of Mr . W . Sand will , a baker . The engines promptly attended , hut by the time they arriv « d the whole of the basement floor was enveloped in flame , and upwards of ten minutes elapsed before water could .. be obtained . The firemen at length succeeded in _extinguishing the fire , but not before the lower portion of the premises , together with Its contents , ; was nearly destroyed , and the remainder considerably damaged . The origin , of the disaster could not be ascertained . Another fire oceuvred almost ' _instate
taneously with the above , on the premises belonging to Mr . Henry iVIiers , a skin dryer , carrying on business at i . _fiiieen-atreeti Church-street , Mile-end New Town . It was caused from ( he overheating of the stove in the drying room on the first floor of the building . The firemen succeeded in confining the flames to that portion of the premises in which they begao , but not before a very considerable' deal of damage had been done . Unfortunately the occupier was not insured . The Brigade and West of-England engines were called to attend another fire that had broken out in Ilornsey-lane , Holloway , on the . property of Mr . William Duckworth , a farmer . It was
caused by some boys playing with some fire-works , which set a stack of hay in flames . Fortunately , they were soon extinguished . Mr . Duckworth was nut insured . A fourth lire happened at No . H , King street , St . ' James's , occupied by Mr . William Weston ' . ' Owing to the timely assistance the fire was extinguished before mush damage was done . The occupier is insured . The fifth outbreak happened at No . 13 , _Doi-chester-place , _"Blandford-square , occupied by Mrs . Mary Burry . It was caused by a spark coming in contact with some linen . The inmates fortunately succeeded in getting it subdued before the arrival oi the engines .
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE OFF _BaSKSIOE . — Oil Monday forenoon , shortly after one o ' clock , a distressing accident happened at _llankside , near _London-brid- _* e , by which two lives were lost ; and what renders it more painful is , that it was witnessed by a great crowd bf persons on - shore , - who were unable to render the least-assistance to the unfortunate parties . A number of'youths , varying from nine to sixteen years of age , had been bathing during the forenoon , when at the time mentioned n cry was raised ofa youth drowning , and . one was seen struggling hi the agonies of death , within loot-IOvacds
of thc bank . Another youth , whose name wehave ascertained to be Pry , 1 . 5 years of age , tbe son of . a labouring mau in Mint-street , and who happened to be also bathing , hastened , to the spot where this boy had been seen to go down and dived after , him , but when he rose it was seen that _ilie oilier had grasped some part of his body , and were both drown ing . A large number of persons being collected along Bankside , there being a Regatta going on , great confusion ensued ; but before a boat could be put off to their assistance they had disappeared , and were not seen afterwards .
Trkmknoous Fire at Salford . —By Saturday afternoon ' s mails , accounts were received at the several Fire Insurance Offices in the City , ofa most extensive conflagration , which happened on the previous evening at Salford , at tiie factory of Mr . Sibson Rigg , termed " -Blackfriars' Mills , " situate in the neighbourhood called Blackfriars , in that town _, lt appears that the _premise * comprised two capacious buildings , and ran by the side of the river . ' The fire broke at about hall-past six o'clock , in the blowing-room , on the thir'i floor , and while the hands were at work . An instant alarm was raised , but the flames having ignited a quantity of cotton and ' other inflammable articles in an adjoining apartment , the whole of the floor-of the building , the
north one , was alight , creating the greatest dismay and alarm for the safety of the warehouses in the vicinity . The _firc-enj-ines stationed in the town , and those in Manchester , were speedily brought to the spot , and vigorous efforts made to check its progress . All endeavours to preserve the factory were fruitless , as within half an hour it was completely iu flames . During the operations of the fircmen / nothing could exceed the fury of thc destructive element ; every aperture of the building emitted huge volumes of tire , and disabled the exertions of thc firemen . - "Shortly after seven o ' clock , the roof and flours gave way , and fell , as may be imagined , with a fearful crash . Thc flames seemed at _lirst to have
been stifled by the ruins , * but in a few minutes they burst forth with almost greater violence , and threatened further havoc . By ( he renewed efforts , how- | ever , ofthe firemen , their extension was prevented and by ten or eleven , all danger was removed . The loss must prove very heavy—hut we understand tlie faetory and its contents were insured in the lloyal Exchange and West of England Offices . Ofthe North factory nothing remains but thc bare and blackened walls . The _uascHMint stovy , boiler-house stowing-rooms , and all tlio upper floors are _dwstroyed . The origin is not as yet satisfactorily explained . It is supposed that something foreign to thomauulaeturc caused the ignition in the
blowingroom . Fatal Accidkst in the _Heobnt ' s Canal . —On Monday an inquest was held before Mr . W . Baker , jun .. Deputy Coroner , ai the Duke of York , _Salmoii's-lane , RateM _"* _, on thc body of John lludson . aged twenty , an apprentice on hoard a barque oalird the WiDbim of Scarborough , lying in the ; Regent ' s Canal Douk . It appeared from the evidence tha " . on Saturday afternoon last , the deceased was ordered by his mate to remove a lighter . whi * m was lying
alongside the vessel . The _deceased endeavoured to do so , and while stepping from enc barge to another lie slipped and fell into the water . A lighterman named Harris , recovered the _bo-ly close to the place where he disappeared , within ten minutes after the occurrence , but the deceased was quite dead , The jury returned a verdict of" Accidental death .

on the line , between tbe rails . lie-immediatel y slmf the steam off , reversed the engine , and blew th » whistle three or four times , as a signal to the gaa _, i to ' apply his break . The train was running about 3 « miles an hour , and though he checked the speed ye f he could not stop the train , and it passed , over a . child , cutting it completely in two in the middle The upper part of its body was severed from the lower , and the shoulders wrenched from their sockets The head and upper limbs lay in fragments near the rails , and the lower portions of the child had flown a distance of six or seven yards , when the engine driver shut off the steam he saw the child rise up out of a grip , and she appeared to be moving towards the
metal to step over it and get _ttway , but before she could do so the train passed over the body . The fireman and guard jumped off before the train had stopped _, and instantly took up the remnants of the child , which proved to be the infant daughter of Matthew Low « , ofthe Padge _, Ilouse , gamekeeper , who reside s within a short distance _froni the railway . The child , aged one year and ten months , had been placed in a chair in tlie garden whilst the mother got the tea ready , and had unp ? rceived strayed to the railroad , and laid down between the rails An inquest was held on the body at Beeston , on "Saturday , when a verdict was returned of "Accidentally kil ' ed by a railway engine and a train of carriages passing over the . body .

_Fibf . at _Beumondset _"WoRKnousE . —At an early hour on Monday morning , a fire broke out in the workhouse of Bermondsey parish , situate in Russell street , which at one period asnimed so an alarmingan ascendancy as to threaten the complete destruction ofthe : establishment , and the loss of many of the lives of inmates- The inmates retired to rest at the usual' hour on Sunday evening , when the building appeared perfectly safe . At about a quarter past four o ' clocic , the occupants of the * female infirm ward were roused by the apartment being filled with smoke , and on the nurse who had charge of it , geting no to ascertain the cause , she discovered thata large workshop on the ground floor , " and immediately beneath them waVoh fire , and the flames actually penetrating thc flooring under the beds of two or three of the paupers . There was some difficulty in extricating the inmates of the ward , owing to the doors beine locked . An alarm , however , having been given
hy the nurse , the doors were opened , and all the sick and infirm females got : out in safety . The fire ori . ginated in the shoemaker ' s worhahop on .-the basement of the north-east , angle of the _establishment , and termed the female side—the flames rising from its windows . spreading across the ansle to the adjoininff wine . ; whieh was chiefly occupied by infirm paimers' The exertions of tlie master and the ablebodied inmates were next directed to _i . thcir rescue . The flames up to this time , consequently ,. receiving not the slightest check , naturally assumed a dreadful appearance . Immediately on ' the afctrrii _bfirig raised , information was given 'to ' the police , who forwarded it to the engine stations , . from which several engines arrived , and ultimately succeeded in arresting the further progress of the flames . The building of the workhouse is insured in the Alliance Fire-office for £ 3 , 000 . A" full _investigation will be instituted respecting the origin of the fire by the Police Commissioners . - .. ' ;
Fkahfui , Accident on Board the Falcon . —At half-past ten o ' cloek on Sunday _hitsht , ' . as the Falcon steamer , heavily laden with passengers fore and aft , passed from under the centre arch of Blackfriars Bridge , on her return from Gravesend , her half chimney , which the men were raising , after sbe had passed the bridges , gave way with a great crash _. Fortunately , however it retained its horizontal position for a minute before it fell with another crash , over the side of the vessel . Tlie scene consequent upon the first crash was trulv frightful ; men , women , and ' children rushed , amidst the most frightful screams , to either end of tlie . vessel ,.. . while numbers were _knocked down bv the first rush . The
chimney hanging over and threatening them with instant death—the darkness of the night added not a little to the terrors nf tbe scene . A . few ladies fainted ; and others had thoir dresses tarnished by the soot and smoke , which , we are happy to say , constituted the result of an accident , which threatened _' _fe-ii-fiil consequences . The accident arose i ' rom tlie hinues of the chimney giving way . Charge of _MArvsLAUGurKit . —On Monday night , a lengthened inquiry was entered into and concluded at the King ' s Arms , New-road , St . Georgc ' s-in-the-East , before Mr .
