Thb Kid Gix > ves at Lucknow . —Captain Winter Goode , of the 64 th , relates , in a letter to his father , which has been published , that he saw the ladies walking dot of Lucknow after the place had been relieved , looking quite well , dressed up with white kid gloves , and making him feel ashamed of bis dirty appearance ! Suicides—Mr . R . S . Barlow , of Snow-hill , manager and partner in the bank of Messrs . Hardcastle , Cross , and Co ., Bolton , has blown out his brains in the bathroom of his house . He had got involved in money difficulties , owing to lending a large sum of money , and his character was compromised at the bank , though his fellow partners appear to have acted towards him with great kindness . The coroner ' s jury returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity . —Lieutenant Colonel Stewart , who
has been for some time labouring under a belief that some one had a design to murder him , has shot himself . He bought a pistol at a gunsmith ' s at Charing Cross , and requested the vendor to load it for him . This was done , and in about an hour he returned , saying he had discharged the weapon , and requesting that it might be reloaded . His request being fulfilled , he again left . On the 3 rd inst ., a loud noise was heard coming from his room . The butler went there , and found his master holding on to the bedpost , groaning loudly , and bleeding from a wound over the right eye . The Colonel lingered till the 9 th , when he died : and it was afterwards found that the bullet had passed through the brain , reducing it to a pulp . The inquest has terminated in a verdict in accordance with these facts .
A Clever Yankbb Trick . —Captain Durham , of the Adriatic clipper ,-has got off from the harbour of Marseilles , where he was under embargo for sinking a French steamer . He was aided by Captain Smith , of the Thomas Meagher schooner , who stealthily raised the chain anchor . Durham , who was prepared to show fight if necessary , contrived to bamboozle the French authorities , and to bear off ; but a war steamer is after him . Health of London . —The total number of deaths in London in the week ended last Saturday was 1327 . In
the ten years 1848-57 , the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1230 , and , if this be raised by a tenth part , as a correction for i ncreased population , it will become 1353 . Hence it appears that the number returned last week is not much leBS than that which the average rate of mortality for the first week of the year would have produced . Last week , the births of 890 boys and 810 girls , in aU 1700 children , were registered in London . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1848-57 , the-average nnmber was 1529 .
Fire and Loss of Life . —South-hill Farm , in the parish of Withycombe , Somersetshire , has been burnt down during the night . Some of the i nmates escaped , though only with great difficulty ; but Mr . Hayes ( the master ) , a younger son , and the servant-girl , perished in the flames .

CORN MARKET . Mark-lane , Friday , January 15 . The tone of the Wheat trade this week is not so firm as last , and prices have generally given way from Is . to 2 s . per quarter . The reports from all the shipping ports in the Baltic mention that stocks are extremely light , because , owing to monetary disarrangements , tho producers in the interior had not sent forward their usual supplies of the new crops . This , of course , leaves a large quantity behind , which will come forward so soon as the market requires it . The same is the case in America . In the Black Sea and the Azoff there are stocks , and some accumulation will probably take place during winter , so that as spring advances , wo may expect considerable arrivals . In the meantime we shall not receive much from any quarter . Many of the cargoes now arriving off the coast have had only a six weeks' voyage from tho Danube and the Azoff , and tho ports in these quarters are now closed by ice . Prices at present current on our own market are : —good runs of red English , 46 s . to 50 s . ; fine Hamburg and Stralsund , 60 s . to 52 s ., Taganrog Ghirka . 45 s . to 4 iis ., Marianopoli , 4 Ss . to 49 s . per 492 lbs .
