Connuissioner said that there seemed to be no pro w t o c harging the bankrupt with fraud. l.Aukrupt was examined. Shortly before his bank ,o,tev be had a contract with the Deptford Dockyard for boat'. The contract was with the captain imperia 1, irut. lie had also two contracts with the victualling de ment. He reoeived the last money in April, and was imokmpt until June. He had some furniture, which „Venn seized. The goods were bought in by Mr. Baldy, father-in-law. There was nothing due from Mr. Bally ,t the time of the bankruptcy. He had a shop in the !:•.,,-kheath.road. There was some property there which wonced to the crown, and it was removed by the store to victoria-yard. The goods were removed by his : the Sunday after the bankruptcy. Are Lewis said the bankrupt alleged that the property ie!..nged to the royal dockyard. The assignee was satisfied the bankrupt had not told the truth. 1.1.1 Commissioner said he could not put this man back ; 1. hut never failed before, and seemed to have told the lie might peas his examination, and have his order ,:::-charge.

RE HENRY DYSON BROOKE • _ This WAS a sitting for the proof of debts and choice of .:_•.:ars. The bankrupt was a poulterer, of Leadenhall . Mr. srlsby, of Fen-court, Graceehtuvh-street, appeared u atm' to the petitioning auditor, Mr. John Frank, of I..mlesball-market, poultry salesman, who presented this petit an on the 2al of November to recover a debt of 3581. zoo as sold and delivered, consisting el poultry, &c. ksiipees were chosen. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the Assistant-Judge.) THE POLICE AND Ticium-or-LzArs Y. Lunn, 30. and Mary Lane, 30, were indicted for w.rulun t ; Charles Percy. a constabie of the metropolitan I:ce force, in theszecntion of his duty. Mr. Cooper prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton defended the r.wuers. Appeared that on the 7th of this month the prosecutor sm+ on duty in Bloomfield-road, Paddington, and he scv the female prisoner, who was carrying a basket, enter three gardens in front of the houses, and then she came out s ithout knocking at either of the doors, which excited stiTicions and he watched her. When she came out he ...e,tl , l.ed her as to what she bad in her basket and she te.....ed to tell him, and he saw the male prisoner a little distance off. The male prisoner then came up and he took Lia into custody, and he afterwards was assaulted by him. TLe Assiataut•Judge said he had no right to take the r:Liu into custody, and if he bad any suspicions of the be might have at oboe put his hand into her basket and ,ern what she bad there. He had no wish to check the vigilance of police, but they must use proper disaetion in carrying out their duties. The jar . ; ed a ,erdiet of Not Guilty agsioet both the prisoners. _ Ribtoo said the real secret of thiscase was to be found in the fact that the prisoner was a ticket.of.leave man, but since his return from punishment he had used every means iu his power to earn an honest living. He bad been for months in the habit of buying bottles at gentlemen's houses, and he used to take them to a bottle dealer's in Scotland-yard, and there sold them. There was present a gentleman from the bottle ware house, who would prove that be had seen him so employed for a long time, and had bought bottles of him. There was to doubt that it was the intention of the legislature in 'noting these tickets.of.leave to give men an opportunity of gaining an helmet living, and thus enable them to regain their character, if they felt so disposed • but that could not he done if they were thus to be hunte d about by the police from place to place. Therefore, he hoped that the course which his lordship would take on the bench would have a good effect, and that the attention of the authorities would be drawn to the subject, so that they might give to the police ofßeets better instructions bow to act in such cases. Mr. Horton, from Deacon's bottle warehouse, Scotland yard, said he had been in the habit of buying bottles from the male prisoner for the lest Di months, which he collected from gentlemen's houses and clubs, and he believed he was a very honest man. icliviOWte;ens, secretary to the Working Men'. Club, Duck-lane, Westminster, said he bad ►nown the male pri soner for 12 months as a member of that club. He knew that he was ► ticket-of-leave man. During the whole of that time he had regularly attended the club, which was to elev►te them by lectures and reading dames, and he scarcely ever missed him for a day. He bad noticed his conduct, for, knowing he was a ticket-of-leave moo, he hoped at some future time to use his isdnence to get him some employment. The institution was established by an honourable lady, for the purpose of bettering the condition of the poor people in that neighbourhood. Mr. Foxail, *goat to the Disch►rged Yrisonete Aid Society, said it was a society under the superintendence of the Mar quis of Westminster, for the purpose of assisting men dis charged with a ticket of leave. He formed • good opinion of this man, and believed be was endeavouring to earn an honest living. Mr Cooper said be had on his brief several convictions against the woman. - 'Tlieliasistant•Judge said he bad no wish to discourage the polioe in being vigilant, but they must discharge their duties with discretion, but, at the same time, the male pri soner, knowing be waa doing no wrong. ought to bare relied on the protection of the law rattier than taking it into his own hands. He was then discharged, and he hoped he would act in a different way for the future. THE POLICE COURT& (THIS DAY.) CLERKE.NWELL. DIWIRACTITL OCTRAGM ON A 31AlIMMO WOMAN. /i) , A (;wit. No. 1. Lower Woodbridge-street, Clerken. well. labourer in an iron foundry, was summoned before Mr. Barker for assaulting Hannah Bolden, wife of George Bolden, 5.4, Yeertree-court, Clerkeowell. Mrs, Hannah Bolden, whorl.. her evidence in a very clear manner, said—On Saturday, IW. 3, between 5 and 6 in the evening, I was at home, when a knock came to the d'or, and I answered it, and found the defendant there. he said. " Has there been anyone here for me'" I answered, " No, I am not aware there has been anyone, but 1 will inquire further." I was about doing so when he said, " Never mind. I want you ; don't you know me, my name is Goss r He caught hold of me by the skirt.; of my dress. I tried to get away, when he released my dress, sod caught hold of me by the two vrriate and said, " I have been watching an opportunity to speak to you ever sines I left the house. I have sent my wife out of town for three days ; will you come to my house?" I said, " No, you villain ; bow dare you make such a reluest to me?" He then said, " I shall go mad ; for there is not a woman on earth I love as I love you." I begged and implored of him to let me go, and threatened to call my husband. He immediately exclaimed, " I know what Unto he comes home ;he is not in now. I have been watch. iag about for some time." He then kissed me and said, " Will you come to ray house" I did not know what to say or 40, and in my fright and eonfasioe 1 answered him, " Yes." He then let me go, and I abut the door. When my husband came home 1 told him all about it. On the Monday followirg he came again about the same time in the evening, and wetted to know if anyone had been there from the lihrary. I would not answer him. The defendant—Did 1 not say there wax not another woman in the world I loved so much as you Witeese—You did say so. 1 never gave you any canes for so doing. The defendant, in a speech to the mecietrate full of lo athing insolence to the oomplainant, endeavoured to blacken her character. Mr. Barker rid he WS/ unite satisfied with the truthful n.nw of complainaist's evidence. A more insulting impu dent vagabond than the defendant he never saw. He bad had the audacity to toll a married women in open court that hr loved her. For the present he should stop his proceed ings. He should indict a fine of 70. w., or a mouth with hard labour. The defendant begged that the fine might be mitigated. Mr. Rirger—Not a farthing. The defendant wee then removed. WORSHIP -STREET. A FLAGRANT CARE OF DESERTION. - - Wheder, shabby - genteelin ait:ir;, but bearing the impress of respectab.lity, was charged on a warrant "for th... Le did, on or about the let day of September last, neg- L , And refuse to support his three lawful children, and ttJ: he Both still do so." 3,r. Shorter, clerk to the ritardians of Hackney parish, r• warked that this was a very bad case. The defendant had • n what in termed " better days," had been clerk to au . ..i.....riter's at Lloyds', where be necessarily become tiuted with many City clerks, a fact that tenti.d % , :y to the accomplishmeot of subsequent frauds -• the public.

Meanwhile hie wife died !,• ; one of the children expired shortly afterwards, •:.1.4• three were left on the heads of the parish. At • I.ecamil known that he was walking about ' • •lreoied in an noexceptiocable snit of mourning • the appearance of a clerical or medical gen. tie (Mr. Shorter) had himself met him thus. A warrant was obtained at this office for his appre hension, sod Devitt, one of the warrant officers attached to it, sought for him far and wide, but in vain. Suddenly an active sergeant at the City detective force gave information that "man wanted " was suffering an imprison- ment of six months in the Holloway prison under the name of Thurston, and thus at length his apprehension was effected. So bad had been his conduct that not even his sister would come forward in his behalf. The warrant officer said that he took prisoner into custody on the sth inst., while leaving the prison at Holloway. lie admitted his name to be Wheeler, and that he had been convicted for selling coloured water for medicine. Prisoner declared that this was all false, but Theodore Foalger, detective sergeant of the City police, swore that on the 6th of June last prisoner was convicted at the Old Bailey Sessions for that very offence, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment on three eases beard at the Mansion-house, from whence he was committed for trial, and at the latter thirty or forty could have been proved against him in which he had obtained money by Übe pi:steams ; indeed, his suc cesses in that way were something out of the common. Com plaints poured in at Mr. Superintendent Hamilton's office so continually that men front different divisions were di rected to call at the various counting-houses in the City, and caution the housekeepers of the practice pursued, which was to ask after the clerks had left for the day if they were in, and mentioning them by name to represent that they had ordered a bottle of medicine from Dr. Marshall, of Bedford-street West, or Dr. Skeate, of Myddletomstreet, Clerkenwell. The housekeeper invariably fell into the trap, and the pretended physic was simply coloured water. While plying a thriving business in this manner the prisoner wee taken into custody at the door of No. 9, Mincing-lane. Mr. Joseph Driscoll, masterof Hackney workhouse, stated that from first to last the cost of the prisoner and his family had been to the parish above 100/. One of the children was now out at service. Prisoner entered into • leogthened aocount of his mis fortunes, and urged that he was allowed to leave the union unfettered by conditions, that he had only earned from Go. to Ts. per week since, that the evidence and aseertions made had prejudiced the real facts, and that he would sup port the children when able. The magistrate sentenced him to one month's hard labour, as just one of those persons who deserved to be severely punished, and at the same time cautioned him that at the expiration of the term the parish authorities could com mence proceedings against him de novo if he did not make satisfactory arrangements with them. THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY. OPENING OF THE LUDGATE-HILL RAILWAY STATION.—(THIS DAY.) This morning the new station at Ludgate-hill, in connexion with the Metropolitan Extension Lines woe opened for public traffic. The first train to enter the station wee that from Stewart's-lane, which arrived punctually at 7.45, being drawn by a powerful engine, the Vulcan. Mr. Bishop, the superintendent, Mr. Mortley, the locomo tive manager, and Mr. Thomas, the engineer, travelled by the train ; and the same gentlemen accompanied the first one out at 7.5.1, which was taken by the " Dia mond" to the Victoria station. Throughout the morning the traffic is reported to have been very good —no less than 24 departure trains having left up to 12 o'clock. The station, which is yet very incomplete, will be similar in construction to that at Blackfrisrs on the Surrey side ; and the lines and platforms will be covered in the same manner as the terminus at Charing-cross, with iron framework sod glazed roof. There will be four lines of rail, but at present only two are in working order—the temporary platforms civering those at the extremity on either side. The opening of this station completes what is called the "Metropolitan Extension" proper; and as there is much to be done to finish the work from this point to the Farringdon-road, and which is called the "City Extension," it is impassible to say when the entire length will admit of the traffic. It is, however, said that the bridge which crosses Ludgate-hill will soon be completed, and that the final opening of this remarkable undertaking will take place about March next. The Manchester Courier gives the following " ex:lonise" item of news :—" It is rumoured in political circles in London that ministers will make an application to parliament in the course of next session for an increase of the grant to the Prince of Wales. A very considerable BUM has been named as the amount by which it is found necessary that his royal highness's income should be increased, but it seems now to be generally understood that the demand will not exceed the sum of 30,00/. • year." MANCHESITH SFIAKTISPEARE COMMEMORATIO:C.— The apparent shandonmeut of the proposed national memorial at Stratford•oe-Avon, and the growth of the local food at their disposal &Moe last year, have induced the Man chester Shakespeare Commemoratiou Committee to reconsider their scheme for • permanent recognition of the tercentenary in Manchester. Instead of the one scholarship determined upon in April, to be held alternately by the Foss Grammar School and the Owens College, it was yesterday resolved to divide the existing fund (2,060 f. nit) into two equal sums, for the foundation of two or more scholarships for the studyliterature, of English one to be held by each of the localinstitutes above-named. lIIRTROPOLITAN AMOCIATION FOR PROMOTINO THE EPUCATION OF ADCLTK. —A :local committee has been formed in the parishes of St. George sod St. James, West minster, under the presidency of the Duke of Marlborough, for the purpose of strengthening and extending the efforts that are being made to promote the education of the tmploye's engaged in westend establishments. A public meeting to further this object has been convened for to morrow in the School of Mines, Jermyn-street. The chair man of the Council of the Society of Arts will preeide. Ar UNTORTCHRTE EXPEKIMENT.—A few days ago an incident occurred at Bothell, near Bildestoc, which reminds one forcibly of Riccabooea's experimental in vestigation of the nisehinery lot the per stocks, a. related in "My NoveL" Mr. John Gage, butcher, of Buxhall, who is also constable of the parish, ham a man in his employ who set about cleaning a pair of handcuffs, and havutir • mind to me how they would fit him he snapped them on his wrists. He then sought liberation, but dis covered that his master was goose to London, and had taken the key of the handcuffs with him, so that he was obliged to remain a prisoner until Mr. Gage returani.—Bury and Norwich Poe,. Me. DICKENS ON TEL BrETAL SERVICE.—SOIIIe of the Rev. Frank 3filvey's brethren had found themselves exceedingly uncomfortable in their minds, because they were required to bury the dead too hopefully. But the Reverend Frank, inclining to the belief that they were re mired to do one or two other things (say out of nine-and thirty) calculated to trouble their consciences rather more if they would think u much about them, held his peace. Indeed, the Reverend Frank Miles, was a forbearing men, who noticed many sad warps and blight, in the vine yard wherein be worked, and did not profess that they made him savagely wise. He only learned that the more he himself knew, in his little limited human way, the better he could distantly imagine what Omniscience might know. Wherefore, if the Reverend Frank had had to read the words that troubled some of his brethren, and profitably touched innumerable hearts, in a worse cue than Johnny's, he would have done so out of the pity and humility of his soul.—Our SCENE WITH A MAI/MAX.—The town of Bagnres de•Bigorre was thrown into • state of great excitement three dare since by a tragical some in which • madman, named Marcel Pambrun, aged 32, wee the principal actor. it appears that Pambrun, after remaining some time in the lunatic asylum at Pan, and, being apparently cured, was discharged ten days since at his mother's request. For • week be seemed perfectly rational, but on the eighth day be was seized with a tit of malneos. and tittered such ter rible threats against his mother that she was in fear of her life. and applied to the police for protection. The madman suspseted her design, and when she returned with °two police agents he was found to have barricaded himself a his room on the first door, and to bau armed himself with a dnable•barrelled gun and several pistols, with which he threatened to shoot anyone who should approach him. t of the agents then went to seek further aid, but on his leaving the house the madman fired at him from the window, and wounded him severely with small shot about the head and shoulders. Other messengers were seat to ob tain assistance. sad the madman meanwhile set fire to his bedding. and fired wrensl times at the people collected in the street, several of whom were struck by the shot. 1 The suleprefect, the procureurimperial, and the captain of the gendarmerie, soon arrived with a number of men. cod orders were given to forte an entrance into the chamber. Three gendermee immediately executed these oaten, and seized the poor maniac. bat not before be had fired three shots at them • by one of which • gendarme named Lidrix was dangerously wounded in the abdomen.

A NEW CHEIN-11 FOR COVENTRY.—MEXIFICENT BEiCEAT.—The late Mrs. Hill Morgan. of Cheltenham, we anderstthd, has bequeathed the munificent sum of 10,000/. for the erection of • new church at Coventry, and 2,C30f. as a fund. the interest of which is to be employed usually in the relief of the poor of the district in which such church is situate. The deceased lady, who was a native of the city of Coventry, has also left very large bequests to sundry charitable institutions in the neighbourhood of Cheltenham. aszetre. _ _ _ IL Si" Si WHALING News.—Honolulu dates of Nor. 9 have been received. Forty-five whalers had arrived, sad ten were expected there. The general result of the whaling season is not so favourable as last year. the catch having averaged about 1:00 barrels per vessel. The most of the fleet cruised in the Arctic, sod report whales scarce sod small.

The stock markets continue to show the dulness usual at this season. The funds are rather heavy, and have declined to per cent. A fractional reduction is also observable in a few of the chief railway stocks. As regards other securities, though the tone is dull, prices generally are fairly supported. A rise in the Montevidean Loan, the letters of allotment of which were distributed this morning, has formed the chief change in prices. There is a strong demand for money to day, and no transactions are reported under per cent. The supply of money has expe rienced a considerable diminution, bankers being engaged in strengthening their balances at the Bank of England, in addition to which the revenue pay ments are flowing into that establishment on a large scale. The rate for short loans in the Stock Ex change is 5i to 6 per cent., with less inquiry. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele gram, the Three per Cent. lientes opened at Orr. 17c., being about 1-16 per cent lower than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 89 to 1, ex div., for money, and 891 " sellers," ex div., for the account (January 10). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 891, 1, 89 ; ditto, for account, 89g, i ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 884, 1 ; New Three per Cents., 881, 1,1; and India Five per Cent. stock, 1021 1 1. Confederate Bonds have declined 4 per cent., while Greek have risen 1, and Turkish Con soluiw Most other foreign stocks are quoted the same as yesterday. Some of the present quotations are annexed,' viz. :—Greek Bonds, 23/ to 1 ; Mexican.' 29/ to 1 ; Confederate, 61 to 62 ; Spanish Passive, 311 to 1 ; the Certificates, 131 to 14; Turkish, of 1858, 701 to 1 ; ditto 1862, 711 to 721 ; and the Conaolid4s, 471 to 1. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Brazilian, 1852, 1858, 1860, 831, ex div. ; ditto 1863, ' 831 ; Buenos Ayres, for account, 931 ; Danish, 1864, 981 ; Equador, 12 ; Egyptian, 951 ; 1 ditto second issue, 954 ; Greek, for ac count, 234; Italian (Maremmana Railway), 715 ; New Granada, 275 ; ditto Two per Cents., 61, ex div. ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 84 ; Russian, 1850, 871 ; ditto, 1839, 531 ; ditto, 1864, 884 ; Spanish Certificates, 14 ; Turkish, 1854, for account, 89 ; ditto 1858, 70 ; ditto, for account, 701 ; ditto 1001.

Egyptian Loan scrip is now quoted to 1 prem.; Danubian, 1 dia. to prem. ; Monte Videan 21 to prem., after touching 21 to s ; and Atlantic and Great Western Railway Certificates of Deben ture, 4to prem. Internsticnal Financial shares are now quoted 1 21 to 4 prem. ; General Credit, 21 to 1 prem. ; London Financial, 9 to 5 prem. ; Imperial Mercantile, 3 5-16 to 7-16 prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 151 to 161 ; Anglo-Egyptian Bank, to 1 dis. ; and Ottoman Societe' G4ndrale, 2 to prem. The letters of allotment of the Monte Videan Loan were posted last evening. The applications are largely in excess of the amount required. Telegrams from Egypt state that the government "has formally denied the rumours current on the London and Paris Exchanges that it was about to issue Treasury Bonds to the amount of 2,500,000/:' No gold transactions were reported at the Bank yesterday. The demand for the ,Continent con tinues, and all the arrivals from America and Australia are expected to be taken for export as they come to hand. In all probability sovereigns will likewise continue to be require,' for Egypt. Owing to the decline in the Eastern exchanges, the market both for bar silver and Mexican dollars is dat, with very little business. The quotation for the former is ss. lid. to ss. lid. per ounce, and for the latter, se. Old. "sellers." The rate of insurance upon the J. E. H., from Melbourne, which has now been at sea 157 days, with 44,0001. iu gold, has advanced at Lloyd's to 50 guineas premium. The foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon were again flat, and in many cases the rates were quoted worse for this country. Subjoined is our usual list : Amsterdam, 3 mouths, 11.18* to I : ditto, S days' 11.14 to 1:1; Rotterdam, 3 mouths, 11.181 to f ; Ant. weep, S mouths, 25.52. to 71; Hamburg, ms. beam, 3 mouths, 13.7 to t ; Para, 3 days, 25.15 to 22S ; ditto, 3 months, 25.50 to 55 ; Franktort-on-the-Manie, 3 months, 1201 to I ; St. Petersburg (per rouble), 3 mouths, 22.1 to 30 ; Wien," eff. en., 3 months, 12.7 S to 12S ; Trieste, AL ao., 3 mouths, 12.74 to 12 ; Madrid, 3 mouths. 46 to I ; Cadiz. 3 mouths, 47 to t ; Leghorn, 3 months, 25.70 to 75; Genoa, 3 months, 25.70 to 75; Milan, 3 mouths, 23.70 to 75; Naples, 3 months, 25.70 to 75; Palermo, I months, 25.70 to 75 ; Means, 3 mouths, 25.70 to 75 ; Lisboa. 90 days, 51e to t ; Oporto, 20 dart. s lt to j. At • meeting held yesterday of the creditors of Mr. W. J. Morgan, East India merchant, of 15, Leadenhall-street, trading under the firm of W. J. Morgan and Co., who stopped payment on the 24th October, a statement of affairs wasj submitted by Mr. J. J. Saffery, accountant, showing liabilities to the amount of 14,7811., and assets 10,1881. ; the deficiency is thus 4,5931. Sympathy with Mr. Morgan's position was expressed, and it was re solved to accept his offer of an assignment. It ap pears that Mr. Morgan returned from India a year ago with a considerable impital. The engagements which led to the suspension were chiefly iu cotton. In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday a judg ment was pronounced which is calculated to have the salutary effect of discouraging the system of accommodation bills. In the case of a person named J. Harris, an envelope manu facturer, who has debts to the amount of 13,2001., and assets valued at only 1,2001., it was proved that the bankrupt had dealt largely in accommodation bills. He had got some of the bills accepted by persons receiving wages of only a few shillings a week, acceptances being even giro: by boys. A fee of 24. 6d. seems to have been the allowance in some instances on each acceptance. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd stigmatised the bank rupt's conduct in severe terms, remarking that "tt was quite clear that the bankrupt bad been guilty of carrying on trade by ficti- tious capital, and of contracting debts without reasonable expectation of being able to pay them." The order of discharge was refused, and the bank rupt was ordered to be imprisoned for six mouths, under the 159th section of the act of 1861. It was stated that this fictitious paper had been discounted lby various banks, including the City, Albion, Im perial, East London, and English and Irish. A meeting took place yesterday in the Stock Ex change of members of that establishment interested in the brokers' rent question, when a resolution was adopted to resist the claims of the City autho rities. 801 79 ; SRI ; Surrey Consumers.

Venezuela Bonds continue in demand, the loan of 1864 rising 1 t and that of 1862 per cent. There wax also an improvement of per cent. in Russian Old Five per Cents. Italian Stuck and Greek and Mexican Bonds declined about per cent. . - - The approach of the meetings has caused renewed inquiries for bank shares, which were consequently tires—in some cases at unproved quotations. An improvement was quoted in City Bank, London Bank of Scotland, Land Mortgage Bank of India, Loudon, Birmingham, and South Staffordshire, Standard Bank of Africa, Midland, and London and County Bank shares. A slight decline occurre d, however, in British and Californian Bank, and Commercial Bank of India (issued at 101. prem.)

MINES.- X 2'B!B DAY.) Two o'CLocc. There is no new feature in the mining market, which remains dull, with very little basinew. East Lovell shares are flatter, at 121 to 131, and Great Vur, at 33 to 34, while West Caradon are inquired for, at 71 to 81. Lady Berth* are quoted 15a. to Port Phillip shares are in request, other colonial, as well as foreign mines, being quiet. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. 3f A REC-LANE.L(THIS DAY.) The supply of home-grown wheat received fresh up to oar market to-day was very moderate. The coedition of the produce being unsatisfactory dry samples were taken off steadily, at full prices. whilst dump qualities were difficult of dispoml, though not cheaper than on Monday. There was a good supply of I 'reign wheat on the stands. Ili: American descriptions, a fair average bosinem wu trans acted, and priors ruled tolerably firm. For other kinds of foreign wheat the trade was slow, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, at late rate.. There was a good supple of barley on offer. The trade generally was dal, the demand even for malting domain tions being in a *Mush state. Prices, however, sided stationary. Malt minimd hands to ► limited extent on former terms. With oats the market was extensively supplied. Good and floe Russian qualities were in moderate request, at full pried; otherwise the oat trade was dull, and the quo tations bade drooping tendency. Nauman beans sold heavily, at drooping prices. Other kinds met a slow sale, at about previous rates. For peas the trade was in a sNaggish state, and prices, is some instances, were rather easier. In flour a very moderate business was transacted, yet no change took plane in prime compared wit% Mealay. Clove seed and trefoil ruled firm at full currencies. Foe other seeds the trade was quiet.

THE EtTLES COIN FINDER REWARDED.—We understud that James &itch, the poor man who found 6,000 silver pensive at Eccles in August last, has received from the bitchy of Lancaster O©. a Treasury warrant, authorising the payment to him at the Branch Bank of Eegl►nd at Manchester, of the sum of 731. 2s. 6d., being the metallic value of the coins as ascert►ined at the Royal Mint. We are glad that the poor fellow's honesty bas been thus fully rewarded, as he has been pretty generally blamed, even by many who ought to know better, for not keeping the coins and disposing of them secretly, though by that course be could cot have realised half the money, while be would have been liable to apprehension, trial, and imprisonment. it is still further satisfactory—when , taken together with acother recent reward of 551. 13a. 9d. paid by the Lords of the Treasury to the finder of 62 gold coins in Leicestershire, as their metallic value—as a pront that henceforth the practice of the crown authorities will I be to reward Enders of treasure-trove with the full value of the coins found. This will he the rarest means of preserving I gold and silver coin so found from secret appropriation and destruction. When Enders once feel armed that ee • honestly giving op the coins to the crown the► will receive full money value many numismatic treasures will be saved from the melting-pot. —M,,nehesft Geperclimi. _ GERMAN EMIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATIDI.—.
