THE FARMERS' COLUMN. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE. A favourable and inspiriting change took place in the weather at the beginning of last week, and the cheerless east wind, which has for some time been counteracting the influence of the sun, gave way to a more genial temperature. Some welcome showers of warm rain have also fallen, which have done much to soften the surface of the land and revive the almost dormant powers of vegetation. Nor has the wished-for change come a whit too soon, as farmers, both here and oil the Continent, were beginning to feel some uneasiness at the continu- ance of the cold, harsh weather, under which the natural products of both field and garden were making such slow and unsatisfactory progress. Although reports have of late been to some extent unfavourable as to the condition of the growing Wheat plant, especially on the heavy soils, it is doubtful whether any serious mischief has been done, of the growing Wheat plant, especially on the heavy soils, it is doubtful whether any serious mischief has been done, and it is probable that, with a continuance of warm spring weather, which may reasonably be expected in the middle of May, the disastrous surmises which have pre- vailed in some districts will undergo considerable modi- fication. Still, it is too early to speak with any certainty upon this point yet, as unhappily in our capricious climate May frosts are not unknown. Spring sowing, even in the late districts, may now be considered finished, and it is stated that in Cambridgeshire the acreage de- voted to Wheat is small. In Scotland the weather has been dry, but very cold, and Potato planting has been going on satisfactorily, as the land is now in fair work- ing order, but the pastures are in an almost hopelessly backward state, and warm rain is much needed to favour the growth of gass. Excitement having in a great mea- sure sudsided, business at the country markets has been quieter, and the principal noticeable feature has been the tenacity with which farmers have held their Wheat. This fact. coupled with unusually light offerings both at the provincial Exchanges and Mark Lane, leads inevitably to the conclusion that the qttantity of home-grown Wheat in farmers' hands is so small that they are determined to hold out for extreme prices for the attenuated stocks they possess. Since the blockade of the Black Sea ports by Turkey no political event has occurred directly affect- ing the interests of the grain trade, and to this absence of fresh extraneous support, coupled with the change to more seasonable weather, may be attributed the decline of Is. to 2s. per qr. which has taken place for the second time on the values of Wheat from the recent highest point. It may therefore be considered a fair inference that until our supplies show a marked increase the future course of price will be to a large extent dependent upon political influences. The only source from whence it is probable we shall receive increased imports is Russia, now at war with a neighbouring Power who has block- aded her southern ports. At present appearances do not favour the supposition that the exigencies of war will interfere with shipments from St. Petersburg, where the accumulated stocks of Wheat and Oats are undoubtedly large; still the situation is quite critical enough to warrant the exhibition of firmness on the part of holders now that the granary stock in London are certainly at a very low ebb.—Mark Lane Express.

A STRUGGLE FOR LIFE. The Cooktown Correspondent for the Brisbane Tele- graph, writing on the 26th of February, gives the fol- lowing narrative:— The Douglas schooner, belonging to a Melbourne firm, having landed a general cargo in Cairns, proceeded on the 8th of January to Chilcot Island, lyinp- about 2->0 miles due east, and worked for guano by thai? firm. ~To obtain a favourable wind, the Douglas went south as far as Hinders Passage anchoring on the way under Drink KI I N AR it1' VV'hile there a canoe with three blacks came off, and were invited on board, and consented rhfwrch tI,e ,vessel on her voyage. On arriving at Chiicot. a small detached island, they found the Alexan- dra, brió, belonging to the same firm, half-loaded. Mr. Leaver, one of the firm, who was on board the Douglas not having enough coloured labour to screen the guano last enough, determined to go back by the Alexandra, ^aJf-Jojiled M she was, and to fill up with cedar at the ,i ,r! Jf. accordingly left on the morning of +1,6 VTI' an to° lleavIy firemans of the Douglas; the blacks were present when the transfer was effected. Ko one suspected danger on that uninhabited island, ifi. Daiutree was known to swarm with Aboriginals and the teU white men on the Douglas could not dream that tiie three blacks 011 board would ever attempt to attack such a superior :1'1 cjoecially as they ap- peared quite cheerful and happy. That evening two and M'lntosh, were on shore in a T.ach had been erected, and which was stored with v.id rations; two of the blacks werewith them. In 11 tv part of the night, while the white men were sit- k*.i 0 II1 le ^Ut' t*le Slacks seemed to have killed them by •:aiaitaneous and treacherous strokes tli» nttifn.io the bodies irfdicating that they could hardly hare been aware of the death-stroke. Then, armed with the half- axes which had served for the murder, the two blacks swam off co the vessel. No oneon the schooner suspected KILI a'\ a, L !e wImus seem to have been asleep; pro- bably tne black was waiting for his comrades. Softly they stole about their murderous work. Two white men weie asleep on the deck, and both were struck so that they made no sound. One-Shaw—says that he knew flotnmg till he came to his senses two hours afterwards waking in a sort of dream, finding himself in one mass of clotted blood, and chopped all over the head and arm. YV hat saved him was that he had wrapped a rug and thick flour bag over his shoulders as he lay down and the bag was dinted with the blows of the blunt axes. Gradually the situation dawned upon him. Thanks to the darkness of the night he managed to crawl into the forecastle, although a black, spying him just as he went, »med a blow at lnm which missed. Thinking he was too Far wounded to be worth troubling about, the murderers an" "e managed to crawl aft through the hold and get into the cabin. But I must go back. After the blacks had left the two men, Troy and Shaw, for dead on the dec- they went down into the hold whore another fearf n 11 vpih T md attacke'1 hi™- He was fearfully chopped on the face, head, and arm, one fin-er Him'th!■ v°I fT^ a,hU?e .gapifg gash made in his back.

During this sti uggle .he captain, awakened by the noise, came up, Md as he laid his hand on the top of the companion it was chopped by a blow from at axe. He retreated into the cabin, where he remained with his son, and was sub- sequently found by the two sorely-wounued men, Shaw and Purcell. They vainly endeavoured to load a pistol striking matches, but not daring to light a lamp. But the flowing blood clogged the pistol and damped the powder, and they could do nothing. The steward had shut hiiaself up in the galley: three men were on the foreyard, Deasy, almost fainting, and lashed to prevent filing, and poor Troy lay on the deck near the galky. There was a sort of lull. The men on the foreyard thought that all hand., except themselves, the captain, and his ooy were dead; and the blacks, compelled to pause in their active attack, began to look for the bodies (If their vi.ums. Shaw had by this time crawled away, »fcd on searching the hold they found Purcell also gone; toere remained only Troy lying motionless near the i 7l ,°W J-(ma he had recovered his senses no one «»uld tell but he was not dead.

The gray light of morning made objects visible, and the blacks thought to finish .i their work. Picking up stones and pieces of coal from the hold, they began tc pûlt the men on the yard who iiodg^l the missiles as bast they could. Then two blacks ascended the riggings with their axes, while the third remained on deck pelting the whites. These, compelled lo 'X.,iegard the stones, confined themselves to keeping the axes at bay with their sling blocks. Then the blacks Jouau tne steward was in the galley.

Tne mate first on deck, picked up a handspike and staggered the third man with a blow on the head, and the others closed round him. The one who had gone to the dead guard left him, saw the game was up, and jumpècl overboard. Two of the blacks were now dead and the steward emptied his revolver at the third while he swam, but did not succeed iu hitting him, he was Dever seen again. Then the survivors went to the island, and found the bodies of their comrades in the hut, and made sail for Cairns with the wounded. Arrived there an inquiry was held, and the three worst wounded were sent to our hospital, where, under skilful treatment, they are progressing as well as could be expected. I have only to add that the tribe to which the murderers belonged are of well-known ferocity. It was they who murdered two men-Smith and his mate—on Gould Island four years ago. and it was they who met the crew of the cap- tain's boat from the shipwrecked brig Maria, near Tam (YShanter Point, ana killed four of them. No doubt, also, the same ferocious savages had a share in the mur- rier of Conn and his wife near Cardwell. But I think that such an onslaught by three blacks on ten whites, at a place divided by some hundreds of miles of sea from the country of their tribe is quite unexampled in the Aistory of Australia." c

MINKS REGULATION ACT. -At the Merthyr Police- tourt on Monday, Mr. Hedlington Kirkhouse, for many years manager of the Ironstone Mines of Mr. Robert Crawshay, of Cyfarthfa Ironworks, appeared to an ad- journed hearing of a summons issued against him by Mr. Wales, Inspector of Mines for South Wales, in which he ■was charged with contravening one of the General Rules raider the Mines Regulation Act, whereby an accident occurred, resulting in the loss of a miner's life. The magistrate held the charge to be proved and inflicted on defendant a fine of £ 5. On Monday, at Sedgley Police- eourt, Messrs. Woodhall and Xewey, of Barrow-hill Cop- pice and Tansey-green Collieries near Dudley, were fined for six offences under the Mines Regulation Act. Two explosions at their collieries in January and February resulted in the deaths of three men and injuries to others. For one offence a fine of £ 20 was imposed and 40s. for each of the others. Mr. Baker, the mines inspector, said he should recommend, with the Home Secretary's sanc- SJiof of the penalties among the widows of the deceased. «*«. ta.putto.to i? «- £ Sr0u° beauty.

The gold withdrawals have been more moderate, and the position of the Ban k- has been strengthened, the proportion of assets to liabilities have improved from 37j to 39§ per cent. With this the terms for the three months' bills, which were 2;¡ J, are now about 2.j$per 4 4 cent. There is now a fair 'inquiry, and the market is tolerably firm. MARK LANE, May 14. The arrivals during the past week have been English Wheat, 2,220 qrs. Foreign, 33,217 qrs. Exports, 3,367 qrs. There was again a very small supply of English Wheat fresh up to market this morning, and factors held for last Monday's prices, but to effect salef, a concession of Is. per qr. would have been necessary of foreign the arrivals were fair, and with a moderate attendance of millers a quiet consumptive demand was experienced at a decline of Is. to 2s. per qr. on the week. Country Flour, 18, 159 sacks Foreign, 15,026 sacks and 500 barrels. A slow sale at barely last week's currencies for both sacks and barrels. English Barley, 822 qrs.

The Cattle trade is entirely without feature. Supplies of stock are very short, but amply sufficient for require- ments. Beasts came to hand very sparingly, and ot the supply offered about one-half was foreign. In the home supply there was nothing special to notice beyond the shortness of the supply. Business continued very quiet, quotations ruling more or less nominal. The top price for the best Scots and Crosses was 5s. and (id. and occa- sionally 5s. Sd. per 8 lbs., but the latter was quite ex- ceptional. From Norfolk, Suffolk. Essex, and Cam- bridgeshire we received about 600, from other parts of England about 100, and from Scotland 34 head. Ou the foreign side of the market was a moderate supply of Beasts from Denmark, Spain, and Sweden. The demand was quiet, at about late rates. The Sheep pens were lc"s treely supplied.* Sales pro- gressed badly, butthematket was not devoid of steadi- ness so far as relates to the Dorset breeds.
