ELECTION EXPOSURES. IH FOURTH DAY. Yesterday morning . the select committee again met to carry on the iaquiry into the allegations contained in the petition against the return of Mr. liorefall at the last elec tion for the borough of Derby. The lint wits'ss called was Captain Clark, whose appearance created a good deal of interest, owing to his name having been frequently intro duced in this end other election committees as an active electioseeriag agent, as will as from the revelations ex pected front him shout the alleged attem..t to spirit away Mr. Fk wker, for the esiosideration of 1,0001, as stated by Flewker, oa the day previous. Those who have read the peoceediege before the Blackburn committee will remember it was stated by some of the witnesses that Clarke had ac quired the soubriyaet of " Punch," during his visit to Blackburn; and the " gallant captain's" physiognomy ea tautly does ezhibit • striking resemblance to the well-know* etfigy of "Mr. Punch." The "captain" is a men over whose whitened head some silty winters may have passed, " frosty hut kindly," short and thick-set, with the tree pipeclay shMnc» of cart; we, and a solemn manner of em• phssi•ing obeervations v. ry trifling in themselves. Capt Clark, examined by Mr. James—After the captain had been sworn, he was informed he might take a chair, but he said be "seldom or urver sat down." (Laughter.) He continued to stand all the time of giving his evidence. Ile said, in reply to questions put by Mr James—l am in the habit of tieing engaged in elections, and have been so for the last 10 years. 1 was never called before an election committee till to-day. I reside at No. 4, Stmez•plsee, Hammersmith. lam a freeholder of the county of Middle aez. I weft saw Mr. Flewker till last Friday evening. I saw him then at the King's Arms Hotel, and got into con versation with him. The fact is, I was invited to dine wish four or five gentlemen at the King's ATMS. I thought I was invited t hut they made me pay my there. (Laughter.) The whole of the gentlemen invited me to dine with them. I know a gentleman named Richard Thompson, who was one of the e .mpany. Mr. Jamee—Uid you say anything on that occasion to Flewker about giving him 1,0001. to get oat of the way ? Witness.—What I said was this, as near as I can reeol leet—" What do you suppose, Mr. Flewker, are the expen ses of the petition at the present moment ?" Flewker said, '• I don't exactly know, hut I should suppose they would be about 1,0001. up to this time." I said, • Would you, presided those ezpenses were paid, withdraw the petition against Mr. Horsfall ?" Flewker said, " I can't enter into anything of that sort, sal have been so ill-treated be fore." I said, " Provided a tory petition against a whig were withdrawn, would you withdraw your petition against Mr. Horsfall ?" I said this merely through some conversation I had with "a little gentleman " jest pre viously. I never saw that little gentleman since or before in my life. After giving sonic further evidence, which was merely an amplification of the forego rag , the witness said he had no recollection of a word being said at all in his conversations with Flewker about Boulogne, but he cer tainly thought this si,known friend, " the little gentle maii, • had gone off in a " balloon." (The captain scented to enjoy his own joke amazingly, though the pan appeared rather to puzzle the bystanders.) By the Commi tee—l swear most positively I did not name 1.0004, or any large sum, to Flewker to induce him to go out of the way. I can't Fe certain if anythiag was said about B iulogne. I won't swear there was not. The Chairman—And that is all you can tell about a truss action that took place last Friday ? Witness—lt is. The Chairman—Then I recommend you, when you next embark in such transactions, to be more careful in your memory. Witness—Yea, I will. I never was before an election committee before, but when I converse again with such people as Mr. Flewker. or "the little gentleman," on such a subject. I'll go directly and pencil down the conversation. (Laughter.) The captain thea withdrew. Richard Walkup was then called and examined—l'm • freeman of Derby. On the morning of the election 1 saw John Clark the elder, and went and polled a plumper he Mr. Honfall. My brother polled the same way. We went is a fly with Clark to the poll. We afterwards went with Clark to the County Tavern. My brother and I got out of the fly. Clark did not, but had been whis pers*( with a stranger. ll* is called Savage. Ile took us thaayl the house and up-stairs. There was an elderly man an landing. Savage went hate the room and put my Indt the door, and my hand behind my back, and some sae pa two sovereigns into my hand. My brother did the same, sad got two sovereigns also. We then went down stairs sad got into the fly, where Clark was still sitting. He asked if we were satisfied. aad we drove to the Northern Star. I mesa to Gwen I was talked to by Clark the night haw, or by anybody else, about my vote. I Mow what I get UM money for ; it was for my vote. Coneeesseakeeti by Mr. M.

Seven* ether wittiness gave similar testimony. At Ideals's of the proceedings, Mr. Montagu Smith informed the committee that the "litaileman," so often spoken of before, had come and discovered himself, and if tho committee ribbed Is (Mr. Smith) would examine him. This was erase Is, and Mr. Themes Signs was called in and sworn—He stated that be is editor of the Wakefield Examiner, and that be happened to be stopping at the King's Arms on Friday, and while talking to some gentlemen in the coffee-room Mr. Flewker same in. Some one said, "That's Mr. Flewker," sad witness eaid, " Have we the honour of seeing the famous Mr. Flewker ?" which was acknowledged by the individual so named • upon which witness observed, " ever any man deserved hanging it is you." Flewker njoisod—. You are very severe, sir, bat you don't know all." After some general conversation, they ill sat down to dinner together. The witness den detailed, with much gravity and self-rmesplaseasy, the conversations he bad with Clark and Flewker, stating that be had no authority whatever from any party to mike a preposition for inducing Flewker to withdraw the petition sedan Mr. Horsfall. He made no proposition to Flewker to keep out of the way, but said to Clark, if a pro. real was submitted to him for a compromise, he weds es. deserver to see some " gentlemen at the House of Camases" abbot it. Mr. K. Smith—And that is all you knew about any sulk r al taess—That is all. The Chairman—And you wished to make the moat of It. The witness then withdrew. John Seas said he is a saddler, sad was weeklong MA summer at Buxton. He was applied to by Mr. Isaiah Lewis, in *rating, to vote! for Mr. lionfall. Expenses wen mon timed in that letter; but he had destroyed it. He after wards received a letter from Mr. Thomas Walker, saki,' him to come to Derby, and he did so the evening before the election.

The day after the election witness went to the committee room, and there he saw Mr. Walker and another 'I man named Joseph Wilson, who took him into another room. Wilson gave him 21. in that room. No one else was in that room but Wilson and whom He then went to the nest room, and told him he should have had Si. or 41. for his vote, as he had closed his hoses he rem over to Derby from Boston. Walker replied that " they were not giving more than 27." Witness gave Wilson • receipt. As he came out el the room, he met Mr. Cos, of Spondon, but said nothing to him about it. He then went to Mr. Mouse ley, who asked hint if he had voted sad fee whom. Witness told him mid then Mr. Monseley pat his hand in his pocket, and pallid out some money, and gave witness a sovereign and &a in liver, and told him he would see him again ano ther day. That day has never aloes arrived.

The keit morning witness went to the Lord Nelson again, hut he wee not roe to the Golden Eagle. lie was called into the back yard. and Ackerman told him he wont' give him 31., but would sat give it all to him at once, but at the rate of 11. a week Witness agreed to take it out in auger, and Ackerman Paid he should have lf.'s worth neat day. and a little more. About a week after he went to Mr. Worthing'oe's dike (an attorney), and told him they bed not received either money or meney's wotth from Ackerman ; that Ackerman sent them home beastly drunk, and gave them nothing. Isle. Worthington said he thought they had got it, but that it was a drunken job altogether, and he'd "blow the whole vat over and begin afresh." When witness w e nt home, he found a lump of sugar about 3011,5. weight, which housed in his trade. In about a week after, he went again to Mr. Worthington, and toad him about the sag it. but said that was not all he wanted. On cross-examination. the witness said there never was en election at Derby but what he got a little money at. (Laughter.) Mr. Roe here informed the committee, that after making a most diligent search to find out the whereabouts of Mr. Robinson Cos (the attorney) and Mr. Lund. in order to serve them with the speaker's warrants, they had not suc ceeded in finding those gentlemen. The committee then adjourned until this morning. SOUTHAMPTON. Yesterday this committee resumed its inquiry, at 11 o'clock, Mr. H. A. Herbert in the chair, when Messrs. Alexander and Sewell, for the petitioner, adduced additional evidence as to alleged bribery by means of payment of ex travagant sums under the guise of travelling . expenses. In the course of the evidence it transpired in several eases, cot possessing features of sufficient public interest to justify a detailed report, that sums of money varying from • few shillings to a few sovereigns had been paid by Mr. Alderman Tucker in the name of travelling expenses, and Mat under certain circumstances a reasonable allrivrance lid been made to individuals for refreshment on the road and is Southampton. The great majority of the witnesses MOM th.t they were considerably out of pocket by the lesmeaction, and moat of them had received the exact sum they had upended. They all concurred in swearing that the sums they bad received were not intended to influence their votes. The committee then adjourned to this day at 11 o'clock. HUDDERSFIELD. Yesterday, on the re-assembling of the Committee, Mr. Walpole in the chair, Mr. Scarlctt, !newer, at Huddersfield, admitted that he had sent out nine 36-gallon cubs of ale, and three 24- gallon casks on the day of the election, and that au entry of 121. for that ale, from Stanstield's committee, in his books, was in the hsadwriting of one of his clerks. James Dent, one of Searlett's clerks, was examined on the same subject, and mentioned the circumstances under which the ale was sent out, and the parties to whom it was sent: also that he received the money for it from a Mr. T , on behalf of Mr. /Mansfield's committee. George Schoefield deposed to Soerlett sending a supply 'of ale to Hdlawell, when he told him his uncle would nut vote till he had "got ale, u well as other folk." Joshua Hallawell dep osed to 40 gallons of ale coming to him, and to 30 gallons remaining, which he sold. His uncle had long promised his vote fur Stanfield. The ale was called " Election ale." The next class of cases was those relating to what were called " discount" payments, for votes in 1817. William Radford, of the Fox and Grapes, Huddersfield, a voter, examined—Had a vote in 1847, and voted for Stansfield. Witness had an account against Mr. Booth, who was a supporter of Stansfield. Received about 81. in 1847, and the balance left was in the shape of 10 per cent., which was then taken off. Was canvassed by Willsn's party at the last election. Mr. J. Beaumont saw witness about his vote for Stansfield. Perhaps he might have asked Beaumont shout his old account and the payment of the discount, but Beaumont did not say he would pay it if witness voted for Stansfield. Beaumont said he would have nothing to do with it. Knew • number of beenhop keener*, but said he would not vote for Stanfield ' until the old amount was paid. Had an account at the last election for breakfasts. It had been paid by Mr. J. Beau mont, and witness put the old " diacount " on the new bill, which had been pail altogether. Had not seen Leech. Cross-examined—Put the "discount" down by charging I a little higher for the items. Had promised Stanfield a long time, and could not vote for a man who wanted to divide " Church and State." (Laughter.) Re-examined—Received the orders fur breakfast on the nonivation day from John Sykes, for 12 or 16 people. Thee came back. The amount of the bill sent in was 101 William Leech kept the Bull's Head, and voted for Stansfield, against whose party he had • bill in 1817, which was discharged, with the exception of the "discount." What witness put on, vie., 10 per cent., was unjustly put on ;he pat it on bec ause he knew it would be taken off again. Provided entertainment at his house at Ike last election, by order of Mr. John 'Oakes, and three or four days before the election he promised to vote for Stansfleld. Breakfast was provided for 20, and witness went to the George and saw Oakes, aad got en I 0 U for payment. Oakes gave it him, and on the faith of this his " !Riau*" provided the entertainment on the day of the election. The voters had tea and coffee, and the things in nese, to make a good breakfast. Charged 2a. 6d. each, and Mr. J. Oakes came for the bill and paid it. The amount of the bill was 21. 10s., but the whole bill that Oaks paid him was a little more than 51. The little something more was for beer to the band and several friends, non-electors. It was short of 61., but it was not part of the unjust demand or discount of 1847. Cross-examined—Voted for Stansfield at the last and pre vious elections, and should have voted for Stansfield if that party had not come to him. There were some old accounts owing to other parties, aad witness said let them , y those off, and be would tell them if he would vote f or Stens field. (Laughter.) Re-examined—Wished to see the others paid as he had been paid, viz., 20s. in the pound. Heard these parties had been satisfied, and he voted for Stansfield, when he heard these honest debts had been paid. John Oakes exassitsed—Knew Radford. Spoke to him a few minutes ago in the lobby. Witness took part in the last election as a canvasser. Went to the George commit tee-room and got a canvassing-book from Mr. Tom Robinson, one of the committee. Knew Mr. Leech and canvassed him. Could not say what passed. Asked Leech for his vote, but did not recollect anything being said about an old account. Leech did not say he should not vote until the old accounts were paid. Saw Leech at the George, who came to isquire how matters were going on. Witness signed a paper ordering breakfast, and making himself responsible for the money. The order was for 20 breakfasts, which witness along with the other parties was to pay out of their own pockets. John Brook, a member of the committee, also signed the paper. Witness would not swear he did not write the order in the committee room. Gave Leech some money when he paid the bill the Saturday after the day of election, and Mr. Frederick Turner repaid witness. The committee at 4 o'clock adjourned to this day. THE CAMBRIDGE ELECTION PErITI ON. It will:be recollected that towards the close of the inquiry on the late Cambridge election petition Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., as counsel for the petitioners, stated that it was merely the object of the petitioners to press the in quiry so far as would result in the declaration by the com mittee that the members had been unduly elected. The sitting members wore examined, and exculpated themselves from all personal knowledge of the proceedings proved, and Mr. James pressed his case by evidence until the com mittee declared themselves satisfied; but the recommenda tion to issue a commission of inquiry did not form part of the report of the committee to the house. A requisition, signed by 19 liberal members of the town council, MU got up im mediately, and presented to the mayor, calling upon him to appoint a *pedal meeting of the council to petition the house for the commission. The meeting took place on Monday, and the following form of petition was agreed to:: "That your petitioners are satisfied that corrupt prsetioes did extensively prevail at the said (last) election, and year petitioners submit to Tour honourable house that a more complete and thorough investigation into the manner in which the said election was conducted is imperatively re quired. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your honourable house to take such steps as to your honourable house may seem fit, with • view to the issuing of a com mission of into the *ahem, of corrupt practices at the said e • that yew baseerable house will adopt such other tissaasM with respeet b wash corrupt practices as your howessalill base may 4111118 ofigedient."

Yesterday the committee upon this company's bill met in committee-room No. 1; Lord Barrington in the chair. The other members were Earl of Mulgmve, Mr. Wyvill. Mr. Stephensoa, Mr. J. G. Smyth (local members), Sir J. Duke, Sir E. Falser, and Mr. Alcmk. The committee-room was rather crowded by the parties - bill - interested. The petitioners against the -... weie the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Beckenham ; and the churchwardens, overseers, and surveyors of high ways and other inhabitants of Penge. Mr. Alexander, Q.C., on behalf of the promoters of the bill, addressing the committee, said its object was for the purpose of purchasing the building of the Great Exhibition of 18.51, in Hyde I'ark, and for the construction of it, or of any addition thereto, on another site ; and also for the pur pose of forming and maintaining conservatories, parks, and museums, for the illustration and advancement of the arts, sciences, and manufactures. In pursuance of these objects the company had subscribed the sum of four hundred thou sand pounds and upwards, and have either purchased, or con tracted to purchase, an estate in Kent and Surrey, near Sydenhiun ; and are re-erecting thereon the said building, with mat additions thereto, and are laying cut considerable portions of land in gardens and pleasure-grounds. The estate was intersected by two roads, one • bridle-way called Thickets'-lane, in bad repair and little used, and the other, part of a public carriage road, called the Penge-road, leading' from Peng, to Dulwich, steep and inconvenient; and both interfering materially with the designs of the company for their gardens and pleasure grounds. The company were willing, at their own expense, to make and to dedicate to the public better and name commodious roads than the existing roads, upon power being granted to them to stop up the existing roads, and to purchase Dul wich Weed. Sir J. Paxton, Mr. Campbrll, and Mr. Francis Fuller having been examined upon the details of the undertaking, The eemmittee declared the preamble of the pored, slab( sat the proposed rating chasm Mr. John Brown, the testator in the cause, and late of Sudbury-hill House, near Harrow, by his will dated in May, 11146, among various legacies to chartable and publie insti tutions, bequeathed unto " the Society for Building Churches " such a sum of money as should be equal to the average market price or value of 6,6001. Three per Cent. Reduced Bank Annuities on the day next before that on which the executors of his will should pay the same ; and he expressly charged this legacy, as well as the others, upon such part of his personal estate as could by law be charge able with payment thereof, and exonerated all his other pro- perty from the payment of the same. The Master, by his report in the cause, found that by the " Church Building Satiety," the testator meant a society incorporated by the statute 9 Geo. IV., c. 42, by the name of " The Society fur promoting the Enlargement and Building of Churches and Chapels ;" and the question now raised upon the hearing was whether, having regard to the provisions of the statute under which it was founded, the society could take the be quest notwithstanding the statute of mortmain, or whether the legacy was void under the latter statute. Mr. Halt and Mr. Speed appeared for the society, and contended that, as the provisions of the statute incorporating the society did not enable it to purchase land, the bequest in question was a valid one. Mr. Walker and Mr. Bird, contra, argued that a be quest to build implied a bequest to buy land to build upon, and that there was nothing in the statute of incorporation to overrule such implication. The case, therefore, fell within the scope of the authorities deciding that bequests to charitable institutions, for the purposes of building, wets void under the Statute of Mortmain. Lard Justice Turner in delivering the judgment of the court, said that the act of incorporation of the society had nowhere given the society an express power to purchase land. No such power could, therefore, be implied, and moreover the statute expressly enacted that the committee who were to have the management of the affairs of the society were not to make regulations as to the dealings of the society which should be repugnant to the laws of the land. The consequence was that the legacy must be held to be valid, and that, as it still remained due, it must be paid to the society.

Mary Bailey, • girl about 17 years of age, was charged with an accomplice named Mary Clarke, • slovenly girl, of about the same age, with stealing a parcel containing • gold chain and seal, a gold pencil-die and toothpick, and a gold locket and cornelian heart, the property of Sarah Jackson, a young lady residing at Mr. Carter's, silversmith and jeweller, Matilda-street, Islington. From the eircumstanees ander which the robbery was effected thereon be no doubt that a scheme for plundering the prosecutor's premises to a mash greater extent had been for some time in contem plation. Mr. Alfred Carter, who stated that he took the prisoner Bailey into bin service from motives of charity, deposed that en Saturday evening last the girl was sent out on • few errands, but never returned. On the robbery being dis covered her absence gave rise to the opinion that she was the thief. He accordingly gave • description of her to the police authorities, and on Monday evening she and her companion were apprehended at a " penny gaff" in the neighbourhood of King's•cross. On being taken into cus tody. the prisoner Bailey informed witness that she was in duced by her companion to leave the street-door ajar, and to tell her where the property in question was placed. She did as requested, informing the other prisoner that the property was placed upon the stairs. She further stated an the presence of witness and others that her companion had frequently endeavoured, but without success, to per suade her to let thieves in during the night. Miss Julius and other witnesses corroborated the evi dence of Mr. Carter with reference to the statement made by the prisoner Bailey. The prisoners denied all knowledge of the robbery, and Clarke declared with the utmost of that she had ads any such confession as that deposed to by the several respectable witaemes. Scott, 390, informed the magistrate that when taken into custody, the prisoner Bailey stated that the property was pawned at a pawnbroker's near the Holloway-gate, but that no trace of the articles had as yet been discovered.

A Thames police-constable, named Major, No. 36, stated that he saw the prisoner take four large pieces out of a , barge moored near the Thames Tunnel, in Wapping, and after covering them with mud he put them in a baaket. Tho prisoner, in defence. said he was only 10 years old. Mr. Yardley—You are old enough to know better. The prisoner—l want to get a living for ra,pelt. I only take the bits of coal out of the barges. There's plenty more, sir. Mr. Yardley—What did you intend to do with the coals ?1 The prisoner—To sell them about the streets, as I have before. Mr. Yardley—Where do you live ? The prisoner—With Mrs. Driscoll, an Irish woman, like myself. She gives me a lodging free, and I have to find myself, quite how I can. My mother lives in the same house, in the back kitchen. Mr. Yardley—There is a fire there ? The prisoner—And a good one, yer banner. Mr. Yardley—And it is kept alive by stealing coals. Where is your father ? The Prisoner—ldes at home with a dead leg, sir. 'I be mother of the prisoner, a dirty and dissipated look ing Irishwomse got into the witness box, and M a whining tons said she brought up her main the paths of virtue end honesty, that lto was a good boy, that she always kept him at ham what be was sot at @shoal, that be wooer west MARKETS. COTTON.—LivntrooL, MaICII B.—The sales to-day are estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000 bales, and consi s t o f 110 Panora and Maranham, 53d. to 6fd.; 110 Bahia, 6.1. to 6fd. ; 200 Egyptian, 60. to I Id. ; 200 Surat, 3fd. to 41d. The market closed flatly. Compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds have a drooping tendency, but to-day's business does not establish a fair decline ; perhaps it is too small. blAxcitzsmia, Maucit B.—We have bad rather a flat market in cloths, and prices are a little more in favour of buyers than last week. lu yarns the general teadency is also to lower prices, but there is great irregularity, some of the producers making concessions which they . had refused lest week on seeing the accounts by the American steamer which had come into the Mersey, whilst in one instance a arm gave id. advance to buy bark what they had disposed of some days ago. There has been a good deal of yarn sold, the buyers including home trade houses and exporters to Germany, the Mediterranean, India, and Chiaa. WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Litzne, MARCH B.—We have no change to report in the etete of the woollen cloth market. About an average business baa bun done in the Cloth Hu la to-day at firm prices. WOOLS.—lltinomuirms ,March Wools of al most all sorts we have a tolerably brisk demand, and, though they are much higher in price than they have been fur same years, an impression prevails that they have not yet reached their height. MANUFACTURES.--HUDDIZMILD, March B.—We have no change worthy of notice to report of our market to day, tbo same activity prevailing as during the two months past. Trade, to all appearances, is very good, and certainly more remunerative now than during the latter end of last year. A few light•coloured goods in spring patterns was shown in the Hall this morning, and. although advanced prices was demanded, they soon changed hands, while of the usual aorta many are still making to order. CORR.—Run, March B.—We had to-day a moderate supply of Wheat from our own farmers, which for best runs of dry red meta fair sale at about the prices of last week, 461. to 47e. per qr. being the most current rates for 631bs. Wheata. Only a moderate retail sale for foreign and price unaltered. A slow sale for Barley, and other kinds of spring corn without animation. Linseed very firm, and full prices are paid ; but cakes are easier, both English and foreign. No transactions is Rapeseed, but cakes go off fee feeding at our quotation. A moderate sale for Cattle Bones. LORDS, Mandl B.—We have a (sir show of sam ples to-thy, the wheat trade is very inactive, really choice dry parcels are sold at Friday's rates, but all below this description are fully Is. per fir. lower. Barley steady in price. Oats and beans in limited demand, and these, with other articles, are unaltered in value. Arrivals this week. Wheat, 2.903 qrs.; Oats, 60; Barley, 368; Beau, 261; Malt, 63 ; Rapeseed, 261. Lxvituroot, March B.—Both English and Irish market' came generally dull by the reports stated at the close of the past week, and prices, where buyers have been inclined to operate, ruling rather in their favour ; yet the consump tive demand for Indian Corn in Ireland appears to be in creasing, sod a small concession by holders has assisted is extending transactions. In this immediate district the wea ther has been variable, but for the most part favourable to the land ; in many other parts of England, however, much wet has continued to prevail, and where the snow fell to any greet depth the progress of agricultural opera tions has been impracticable in regard to Wheat planting, obstructive causes to which have now existed fur a mon% past, and it is caltulated the deficiency in breadth to be sown will be quite as greet as was some time ago andel paced. Upon a change of wind we have had afa r supply of Oats and Oatmeal coastwise and from Ireland, with smaller parcels of other produce thence since Friday last; during the same time the imports from the United States have been increased to 10,735 qrs. of Indian Corn, and, with part in bags, nearly 50,01.0 barrels of Flour. From Europe we have also to note a few parcels of Beans and Maize, with 4,529 sacks of French Flour, and from Egypt a moderate quantity of Wheat and Beans. Many of the corn ships expected from the south of Europe having at length appeared at Cork and Falmouth, the pre cursors of further supplies from the same direction, have caused • very sluggish business for most articles in the trade at our corn exchange to-day, which was only mode rately attended • the sales of Wheat were chiefly in retail, and confined to local and neighbouring country millers, at a reduction of Id. per 70Ibs. from the currency of this day week, beyond which decline holders refused to concede. The large supply of Flour caused a depreesiin of Bd. to Is. per barrel, and little business could be done, but the bulk of what we have received thi. week is not offering on the market. Egyptian Beans, upon a retail trade, maintained the late advance. Oats and Oatmeal were neglected at a decline of 4d. per bushel and 6d. per load. For Indian Corn on the spot we had very few inquiries, aid reduce our quotations Is. per qr. for both white and yellow 'parcels ; there is still but little choice in arrived cargoes, and boyars consequently hold off. Arrivals from the Ist to the 7th March into Liverpool and Runcorn: Wheat, 12,797 qrs.; Barley, 657 ; Malt, 1,629 ; Oats, 6,121; Beans, 2, 88 7 ; In dian Coro, 6,531; Oatmeal, 5,860 sacks; Flour, 5,077 sacks, 49,905 barrels. Exports to Ireland : Wheat, 513 qrs.; In dian Cora, 1,668; Flour, 1,315 sacks, 1,603 bairels. LYNN, March B.—tt moderate supply of Wheat here to day, mostly in very bad condition, and dull sale at Is. to 28. per qr. decline. The little Barley offering is taken freely at fully last week's prices. Wheat, old, 621bs. to 631 M., 495. to 50s. per quarter to the growers; best, new, nibs. to 591 M, 42a. to 445.• ditto, runs, 651bs. to 681 M., 365. to 40s. Barley, selec ted fine, 621b5., 811. to 328.; selected best runs, 288. to 30a.; inferior, 28e. to 275. Beans, 328. to 38s. NEwcasTr,e, March B.—The weather continues open, and, should it remain fine, our farmers upon the dry and well drained soils will be enabled in a little time to proceed with field work, but, as formerly observed, a considerable breadth of land must remain unsown with spring Wheat. At our market this morning we had a moderas show of Wheat from the growers; bat the wind having become favourable, some few vessels have ;dropped in from the south. An impression, however, prevailing that the sup plies from the country will take off shortly, factors held very firmly, so that the amount of business passing was limited, at the full rates of Saturday. In Flour little stirring, and dealers generally offering prices which holders felt reluctant to accept. Rye is much wanted. Malting Barley was in steady request, fair runs, weighing bulbs. to 52 1 bs. per bushel, enmmanding attention at 31s to 328. per qr., whereas choice c , untry, weighing 661b5., could not be purehued under 33.. per qr. Grinding and distilling qualities met more inquiry, and may be written the turn dearer. Malt a slow sale, but no lower. Beans and Peas much the same, but whets the sale of Oats is pressed, lower rates must be submitted to. JAMAICA MARKETS. (hoe De Confines Mereentile Isteltignicer.) KINGSTON, JAMLICA, Fax. 12.—Business in the import market was more than usually dell during the fortnight ; and all the operations were confined to purchases for imme diate consumption. At the same time, supplies generally are not in excess of the ordinary inquiry, and it does not appear that holders ars disposed to realise at reduced prices. Produce continues firm, especially as regards sugar and rum, the deliveries of which are still on a very moderate scale, owing to the continuance of bad weather in the agri cultural parishes, and the impracticable condition of the roads. ALzerivis.—Prime large No. 1 are in good inquiry, and scarce. Other descriptions are very much neglected. Barran—The previous stock of Irish has been all dis posed of at 124., and holders of new recets are endeavour ing to establish an advance. 120. to 13 4. is now generally demanded, and in the absence of Halifax and American, it Is expected that the outside figure will be realised. Bea'.—The market has again been quiet, and no opera tions of any importance have transpired. BRANDY. — T he circumstances under which the moderate stock on hand is held, render prices quite nominal. BILEAD.—There have not been any arrivals of foreign since our last issue. Home made (V. and B.) is being placed at 17s. and 19s. respectively, for pilot bread and crackers. Consignor. continues in limited inquiry, at 225. The stock is still abundant. CSNDLIa.—We report a sale of 300 boxes Jackson's at W. per lb. The market is very lightly supplied. Corres.—The deliveries are yet unimportant. Ordinary' sells at 31s. to 325. per 1001bs. Some rather better samples err held for 345. Coax.—American may be quoted at 41. to 4.. 3d. pee bushel, in moderate parcels. The stock is very heavy, and demand languid. ConelSiv—A cargo from Halifax has been parcelled out ! at 14s. for tierce, and 18s. 6d. per box; but tierces alone would not realise the quotation, and it was only in conse quence of the good inquiry for other articles in the taiga, that that rate was obtained. There are now two cargoes unsold in the market, one from Halifax (which is held for advanced prices), and another from Newfoundland. Cneesz.—Prime English (D. O.) of suitable size com mands lld. per lb. not:R.—Dealers yet exhibit considerable reluctance to operate, but holders remain firm, and but few transactions have been tfected. Baltimore has been sold at 335. A large business could be done if holders would accept 325. to 32.. ed. Fuziours.—The crops are not sufficiently far advanced to revive the inquiry for tonnage. Oozn.—Colonial doubloons are scarcely procurable. We quote United State. Coin at Ito per cent. prem., valuing the dollar at 4s. IlEatilsos.—The market has been very buoyant during the fortnight, for this article, and all the late arrivals of No. 1 prime were placed at 19s. per barrel, in cargo. The in quiry is still active, and the last parcel is held for higher prices. HLYS.—Prices are falling under the recent free re• eeipts, and it is expected that holden of American, wlich were previously gelling at Ild. per lb, will have to submit to 10d. Lancashire are held for 13d. LoOWOOD.—No sales have transpired. Unix—Fifty kegs Baltimore wen moved at lOid., but an arrival of 34)0 kelp occurring aeon after, a decline has taken place in the value of the cuticle ; and 10d. would be accepted fur the last receipt. LtllBllllL—The stock of white pine is not abundant, but is sufficiently ample to meet the prevent restricted demand. Last salsa were effected at 90s. W. C. shingles are rather plentiful, and may pi quoted at 164. to 21s. ter m. as in quslity. A cargo of ptch pine 111,000 feet) has been sold at Si.. landed. MALT.—Bottled ale has been in moderate supply, and for a shipment of tho Sacell Brewery Company's 7s. Gd. was realized for pale, and 10s. 6d. for strong ale. Porter is plentiful and dull, at 7s 3d. We note the receipt of 60 hogsheads Lane's stout, which are held for an ad vanced rate. MACRERZL—Are in very limited inquiry at 341. to 35e. These high prices cheek consumption to a very consider able extent. Ott..—Cod sells readily at 2s. 9d. per gallon. Lard and cocoanut are very much wanted.' Puns.—Mess sells only by retail, at 168 s. to 110 s. per bares!. Rtes.—There has been no activity in the market. We quote Bengal at 17s. Gl. to 181. ; and Patna, at 19s. per 100Ibe. Rum continues very scarce. Some parcels to arrive have been sold at 21. to 2a. Id. per gallon, in bond, proof 21. Good brands would command 2s. 3d. very readily. SALlloX.—Halifax No. 1 is worth 7Gs. per barrel. SALT.-330 sacks Liverpool stored have changed hands at 71. per sack. SoAr.—No operations have transpired. St:GAL—The market continues moderately supplied. Prices range from 14.. to 20s. 3d. for dark to fine. TonAcco.—We have not heard anything of this article. Toreouss sell only by retail. Irish pigs' are very scarce. Proms tha LONDON GAZETTlL—Tuesday,MarchB.

TILE MACCLESFIELD ROBBERY.—The magistrates engaged in the examination of Edward Roberts, as leader of the banditti who robbed Mr. Dean's house. Macclesfield, tying all the inmates to their chairs, on Sunday evening, Feb. 20, after adjourning the court from four o'clock to seven on Monday evening at the request of the prisoner's legal adviser, to get two more witnesses telegraphed for from Manchester to establish an alibi, determined on com mitting the man to Chester Castle, for trial at the assizes. Only one of the two witnesses arrived in court at seven o'clock, and, on confronting the prisoner, could not swear that he had seen him on the Sunday in Manchester at all. As to the two first witnesses, considering their connexions, the magistrates did not think fit to rest the proof of an alibi on their evidence. It is worthy of remark, however, that judging from the conduct of the prisoner and his attorney in court, they felt certain of upsetting the evidence for the prosecution, and expected to have brought men into the witness box whose unbiassed testimisny must have strongly influenced the court. - DEATLI OF MR.
