The transactions in wheat in the leading country mar kets held on Saturday were limited, and inferior samples were again somewhat lower in price. Spring wheat and flour moved off slowly, and th e quo t a ti ons were with diffi culty supported. Throughout the Continent th e corn tra d e genera ll y ru l es heavy, but no change has taken place in the currencies. At the date of our last ad vices very- little business was doing in breadstuffs at New York on English account. Very small supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. From abroad we received 27,733 qrs • barley, 12,493 qrs oats, 5,000 qrs qrs linseed, 2,010 qrs rape seed, 5,251 qrs maze, and 720 sac k s an d 68,238 b r l s fl our . bgearsns wheat, 1,210 ea 1 qrs 73 08 tares, 17,749 To this morning's market the arrivals of English wheat, fresh up, were exceedingly small; consequently the total supply on offer was much restricted, and the condition of th e sam ples, owing to the continuance of damp weather, was very inferior. The few dry parcels on sale were dis posed of at last Monday's currency ; otherwise, the trade was in a sluggish state, yet, compared with this day se'en night no quotable change took place in prices. The whole of the supply was net disposed of at the close of business. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. In good and fine qualities a fair consumptive business was trans acted, and on the whole the quotations were steadily main tained. Inferior descriptions moved off slowly at the late decline in prices. Floasing cargoes of grain were in moderate demand, at late curriences. The supply of English b ar l ey was small ; of foreign, some what extensive. Malti ng qualities were scarce, and they sold readily at extreme rat es ; b ut ot h er descriptions were a dull inquiry, on former te rms . Malt slowly, yet no change t oo k pl ace i n its vlalute changed d o pa rmhands with Monday l as t. The show of oats, both Engli s h an d f ore i gn, was mode- c mode rately extensive. Good and fine corn met a steady sale, at full prices ; otherwise the oat trade was dull, and the quo tations were barely supported. Beans were in limited supply, but slow request, at last Monday's currency. The inquiries for peas were without improvement, yet prices ruled firm, i n consequenc e of the small supply on sale. r l e ar u g c e t lon in its va l ue . import last week, moved eff ß h a e rr av e i l ly fl , o a u t r, fu o l w ly in t g he to hlattee d Town-made qualities, as well as country marks, com manded very little attention, and in some instances prices ruled in favour of buyers.

Notwithstanding that there was a falling o ff i n the supply of beasts from our own grazing districts, the demand for all breeds was inaetive ; nevertheless, no quotable change took place in the currencies. The best Scots and crosses ware disposed of at from 4s 2d to 4s 4d per Sibs ; although there were some remarkable prime stock on offer, th e general quality of the beasts was rather inferior.

There was an increased supply of sheep on sale, in, for the most part, good condition. All breeds in the wool moved off somewhat freely, and prices were well supported ; prime Downs having sold at ds 6d per 81bs. Clipped sheep, however, were a dull inquiry, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81b. Prime Downs, out of the wool, realised 4s 10d per 81bs.' Lambs—the show of which was seasonably extensive— met a dull sale at from 68 to 7s per 81bs, being a decline in the value of inferior breeds of from 211 to 4d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight 210 head came to hand. Calves were in moderate request at Thursday's currency. The top price was 5s 3d per 81bs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) ♦PPLICATTON FOR RELEASE FROM PRISON.-IN RE WEBSTER. This bankrupt applied fir release from custody, and was opposed by Mr. England, on behalf of a creditor, on the ground that the bankrupt had committed a breach of trust as an executor, by not paying into court a sum of money which he had received as executor, and had been order ed to pay into court, and in default of doing so was in contempt. His Honour—That is not a fraud. Mr. England—He acknowledges that he has received the money and has not paid it over. His Honour—That may be a contempt, but no fraud. Mr. England—l did not say a fraul, but a breach of trust in not paying over the money when he receives it or account for it. His Honour—Do you mean to say that every executor who receives money, and does not account for it at the moment, is guilty of breach of trust. Mr. England—The bankrupt admits he received £194 as executor of one Norris, in February, 1860, and he asserts he has made payments to the amount of £94, and that he holds the remainder, although he has been written to over and over again to appropriate the money according to the will. His Honour—That is to pay certain legacies. Do you mean to say that the non-payment is a breach of trust? I do not think it is ? The order for discharge will issue, but the bankrupt's conduct will be tested on a future occasion. Order for release granted accordingly. IN RE G. STIFF—THE MORNING CHRONICLE.

Debts, £31,652; secured, £26,000; property held by cre. ditor, £61,500; book debts, £5,000. SIIERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) TELEGRAPH COMPANIES AND THE PUBLIC-IMPORTANT DECISION-LARA V. THE BRITISH AND IRISH MAGNE. TIC TELEGRAPII COMPANY. This was an action to recover damages for delay in the delivery of a certain telegraphic message and 6d. charge in excess as postage. Plaintiff, whe is a professional man, said that he had to send a message to an old servant. The message was not delivered in Portsmouth until nearly two o'clock, it having really reached the Portsmouth station by the return of the officer, at 40 minutes past eleven. Now, the plaintiff com plained that this delay was most excessive. The place to which the message was directed was only about a mile from the Portsmouth station, and plaintiff could walk the distance in less than a quarter of an hour. As to the over charge of 6d., that had been admitted. A person who attended for defendants, said that plaintiff had sued the wrong company, but the case would be de fended upon its merits. The real defendants were the London District Telegraph Company, whose lines did not proceed further than London, and this message went through no less than four companies. If the people would look at the conditions upon the back of the message paper, it would bo seen that plaintiff was out of court. His Honour (Mr. Serjeant 'Wheeler) pointed out to the plaintiff that the only means of ensuring punctuality was by ensuring the message, and therefore he could not recover damages. Defendants' representative explained the cause of the delay, by saying that the boy could not find the place; but plaintiff entirely contradicted this, and said that as to the sixpence, defendants had sent a cheque for the amount upon a station, but it Was not a legal tender, and plaintiff refused it. His Honour said he thought plaintiff might have taken it, but there was a little feeling on each side. Plaintiff would have a verdict for sixpence. Plaintiff—l should not have taken this step had a proper apology been made. CRIMINAL COURT-THIS DAY. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) The April session of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before tho Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and other civic authorities. The calendar contained the names of 124 prisoners for trial. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, aaid,although there was a very great number of prisoners for trial, owing to the long adjournment of the court, there was only one involving the loss of life, and this was one of rather a peculiar character. The person accused was a member of the medical profession, and the offence imputed to him was the causing the death of a woman whom he had attended for child birth. It would be for the grand jury to satisfy themselves whether death was caused by want of skill and neglect. He explained them, that of a surgeon, through his gross neglect or un skilfulness, caused the death of his patient, he was in law guilty of manslaughter. It was not, however, to be sup posed, that a mistake which he might make would render him amenable to law; but, if they were satisfied from evi dence that would be laid before them that death was caused by his gross neglect and want of skill, it would be their duty to find a true bill against the accused. His lordship then alluded to a charge of forgery and perjury against a person named Brown, which arose out of a charge which was tried last session, and the party who was then charged with forgery now charged the present person, who was then the prosecutor, with,forging the do cument which he was alleged to have forged. These were the only cases he thought he need refer to, and with the usual intimation that the assistance of the court would bo readily 'given in .the event of its being required, his lordship dismissed the jury from the performance of their duty. THE CHARGE OP BIGAMY AGAINST MRS. WILSON. Mr. Giffard, on the part of Mrs. Barbara Catharine 'Wil son, against whom a charge of marrying Captain Le Hunt Wilson, her first husband, Jonathan Gotobed, being then alive, applied for the postponement of the trial of the lady until the next session, or the session after, on the ground that owinglto the want of funds she had been unable up to the present time to procure the necessary witnesses from To ronto to prove that at the time of Gotobed's marriage with her, in 1848, he was then a married man. The learned gentleman then detailed the facts of the case to his lordship, which have already appeared in The Sun during the exa- mination of Wilson at Bow-street police-court. The Recorder said the trial had already been postponed, and he should like to know what had been done towards procuring the attendance of the necessary witnesses to prove the previous marriage of Jonathan Gotobed. Mr. Gitlard said they had been in communication with several parties in Canada, but it was very important that Mrs. Wilson should not disclose the names of the parties shs wished should be in attendance at her trial, as they might perhaps be induced not to appear. The Recorder asked when it was likely the parties would be in attendance Mr. Giffard was unable to say, but in the event of the present application being granted, Mrs. Wilson would send a person to Toronto to obtain the necessary evidence with the greatest possible expedition. Mr. Pollock on the part of the prosecution resisted the application on the ground that since the lady first knew that an indictment for bigamy was to be preferred against her she had had ample time to obtain the evidence she required to prove prior to the marriage of Jonathan Gotobed. The Recorder wanted to know what had been done since he postponed the trial on the sth of last March l Mr. Giffard said there was no affidavit. Tho Recorder observed that since March it appeared to him nothing had been done, although it had been stated that if the application was then granted a person would be at once despatched to Toronto to obtain the necessary evi dence. He would carefully look over the affidavits that had now been put in, and give the answer to the applicatiOU to-morrow. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. QUEEN ANNE'S BOUNTY.

Lord CAMPBELL rose to call attention to the subject of the military drill lately introduced into public schools, and also for the purpose of inquiring of the Government whether the commission on public schools had been instructed to report on this branch of their system. The noble lord referred to the meeting held some time ago at the Thatched House, at which the subject was fully discussed. Since that, so highly was the subject though that it was introduced into the public schools at Eton, Westminster, Harrow, Rugby, and other places. He thought it was of the highest importance that some thing should be done to render the practice permanent, as all that had been done up to the present moment had been purely voluntary, and might:at any time pass away. In deed, that.which he feared had already commenced, for at Westminster, notwithstanding the assistance of Captain Arbuckle, of the London Scottish Volunteers had been secured, it had entirely ceased. At Eton it had declined very much, for out of 400 who first began, the present number of those taking part in military drill only amoun ted to about 200. At Rugby there had yet been no sensible decline. He trusted that subject had not been lost sight of by those within whose province it came. The Earl of CLARENDON, as president of the public schools commission, said the instructions that had been issued had been so formed to embrace the subject of mili tary drill. They not only proposed to inquire into the time devoted to study, but also into the manner in which the boys employed their leisure time. He agreed that it was of the highest importance that the Volunteer movement should become permanent, and also that it was impossible to speak too highly of that splendid demonstra tion. The subject, he assured the noble lord, would be most carefully considered. COMMITTEES. The Declaration of Title Bill, the Security of Purchasers Bill, the Transfer of Land Bill, the Real Property (Title of Purchasers) Bill, the Industrial Schools Acts 1861 Amend ment Bill, and the Whipping mittee.

Lord PALMERSTON said that he hoped the hon. mem. ber would not consider him discourteous if he declined to give him a full answer, because it was not usual for Govern ment to give any information on a subject on which they were not prepared to make a specific proposal. When the Government had made up their minds on the subject they would submit the proposal to the house. REMOVAL OF IRISH POOR FROM SCOTLAND position of the country drawn by the Chancellor of the. Ex chequer. He denounced in strong terms the remarks of the Chancellor of the Exchequer relative to the income tax, .and contended that that tax should not be considered as a per. manent tax in a time of peace. He denied that the Chau_ calor of the Exchequer was entitled to the character of art economist. [LEFT SPEAKINGI. GRIMSBY ELECTION COM MITTEE. ---THIS DAY. This committee - assembled again thi s f orenoon. George Bancroft corroborated th e statement given In evidence by bis.brotker that they had been offered £2O for th,eir votes, and their refusal to take less than £BO between thew. He also confirmed the statement of his brother as to Kitk, the butcher, having offered them £5O between them to vote for Chapman, and Dr. Holland made them the same offer. In cross-exaimination by Sir F, Slade, he said he had nat made up his mind as to what he would get for his vote. His brother mamiged. He did not think it was a fair ques tion to ask him if he would have sold his vote. He did not, however, get a " ha'penny" for it. Samuel Wardle, a freeman of Grimsby, said he promised to vote for Heneage. He was asked by Newby before the election what he was going to do with his vote. He (Newby) asked him if £5 would be any good to him, and he said money was always of use to a poor man. He said he was astonished that Newby should vote for Chapman after all he had said against him, and he said he had beat about the bush long enough, and that an election was a pocket question. Newby also said Chapman had promised him the painting work at the docks should not bo taken away from the town. He went into a public-house and saw a small parcel lying on the table. Newby was in the room, and after he nodded he (witness) took it up. There were five sovereigns in the paper. He gave it to his wife. There was an y quantity of beer to be had for the asking. In cross examination, he said h e was one of the lucky pianrties to tell tal es London and th e o l a get r k " six' never w e e t k r i s e d ' t ‘ about Mr. Chapman. o l n sl e e s e w f h w o i h g a n d t. haHde Ellen Wardle corroborated the evidence of her husband and identified the piece of paper which had cont a i ned the five sovereigns. She marked it when she first got it. In answer to Sir F. Slade, she said she spent some of the money in getting clothes out of pledge, and sho had som e of it in her possession at that moment. After some further evidence, the committeee adjourned. POLICE---THIS DAY. TO IRELAND. General UPTON asked the Lord Advocate if he would fix a time for laying on the table of the house the bill he was about to introduce relating to the removal of Irish poor from Scotlard to Ireland ? The LORD ADVOCATE said that he would be able to lay the bill in question on the table very shortly before Easter. THE REVISED CODE. Sir W. HEATHCOTE asked the Vice-President of the Committee of Cluncil for Education whether he would be able to lay on the table of the house before the adjournment for Easter the provisions by which he proposed to carry into effect the proposed modifications of the Revised Code ? Mr. LO WE said that he had no doubt he should be able to lay on the table of the house the documents alluded to, and he hoped they would be shortly printed and in the hands of hon. members.

Mr. M. GIBSON said that the attention of the Board of Trade had been called to the transit of salt through the territory of the Zollverein, and it was thought desirable that steps should be adopted in reference to this subject, and they had entered into negotiations on the matter. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE FOR THE EASTER HOLIDAYS. In reply to Mr. HADFIELD, Lord PALMERSTON said that he could not at present state whether the house would adjourn for the Easter re cess on Friday, as it would be regulated by the state of public business. REGISTRY OF DEEDS OFFICE (DUBLIN). Sir E. GROGAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he intended to introduce any bill during the present ses sion to regulate the Registry of Deeds-office, Dublin F Sir R.

CAPTURE OF A NOTORIOUS CHARACTER.—A PUGILIST CHARGED WITH UTTERING A FORGED BANK NOTE.— David Hayes, a pugilist, living at Graham's Coffee-shop, Little White Lion-street, Seven Dials, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, by Sergeants Joy and Franklin, of the C and G Divisions, with uttering a forged £lO Bank of England note, with intent to defraud Mr. Gervase Bird, tailor, of 2, John-street, Grosvenor•-square. The prisoner has once been convicted of a highway rob bery, with another man named " CatTotty Davis," in Seven Dials, and has for some time been mixed up with thieves and utterers of counterfeit coin. Mr. Gervase Bird said—On the 6th of March, in the evening, the prisoner called on me and said, " Mr. Bird, do you know me." He then said, "Do you remember a per son named Tiney I°' I said, " Yes," and the prisoner then mentioned several circumstances that brought him back to my recollection. I then said, " Where have you been i?" and he replied, " I've been in the country with a gentle man, and he gave me a £lO note, and as you have made clothes for some persons I know, I thought I would get you to clothe me." As the prisoner told such a feasible story I measured him for some clothes, and he then took a £lO note out of his portemonnaie and laid it on the counter for me to take £1 out of it as a deposit. I did so, giving him a£s note and four sovereigns back. As the prisoner did not call on the day appointed, and my son felt some suspi cion of the note, I took it to a neighbour, who refused to change it, and I then went to the West-end Branch of the Bank of England in Burlington-street, and it was there pronounced a forgery, and was stamped so, the good one of the same number, " 49,037," being in the books. I have had the note in my possession ever since. Mr. John Bird, son of prosecutor, corroborated him, and also identified the prisoner. Sergeant Joy, 9C, said—l captured the prisoner, in company of Sergeant Franklin, at the Cheshire Cheese, Dean .street, Holborn, on Saturday night, in company with several other thieves. On telling him the charge, he said "Do as you like with me." While taking him from the house, noticing a suspicious movement of his hands, Ser geant Franklin observed him drop a counterfeit crown piece. Sergeant Franklin proved picking up the counterfeit coin. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner till to-niorrow week, it being stated that several other notes—all forged—of the same date aro in circulation. THAMES THIS DAY. JACK ON A LEE SHORE.—Stephen Rico, a sailor. was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being drunk and disorderly, and damaging a cab. George Castles, a cab driver wearing the badge 11,487,. stated that on Saturday night he was engaged by the pri soner and a landsman, hie friend, to drive them to the Eagle, in the Mile-end-road, and from there to St. George's in-the-East, where a host of loose women, finding the pri soner was a homeward bounder and had got money about him, would have plundered him if his friend had not protected him and got him away from them. The prisoner, who was getting drunk and noisy, was requested by his friend to go home with him out of harm's way, who informed him that the land sharks were about and would fleece bim. The prisoner was Yell , obstinate : got into the cab again, and after riding a few yards, he opened the door, swung upon it and broke it from its hinges. He stopped the cab, and the prisoner smashed the door, and rendered it useless. Mr. Woolrych—Did the prisoner and his friend pay the fare ? Witness—Yes, sir; the fair was paid—they paid me 4s. Mr, Woolrych—What is the amount of the damage done? Witness—£2 ss. Mr. Woolrych—What, is it a whole cab broken up ? Witness—Not a very old cab, nearly a new one. Mr. Woolrych—£ 2 a is a large sum for a cab-door. Witness—Hero is the coachmaker's 15s. for a new door, and 20s. for the hire of a cab for the week. I my day's work yesterday, and another day's work to-day. It will be a a job. Mr. Woolrych did not believe the bill. I won't believe a new cab door will cost 858. The prisoner said he was "by the head " on Saturday night, and he was very willing to make compensation. The parties were allowed to arrange the matter, and the cabman reduced his demand to 208, 2 find he wont home with the sailor to get the money. SPORTING NOTES. - - CITY AND SUBURBAN AND METROPOLITAN. - - --- I shall refer to the above races on Wednesday ; but my present impression is, that Dusat could repeat the Virago fide by winning the double event if his owner would let him. try ; but certain movements in the market on Saturday would indicate that he may be an absentee for the City and Suburban. However, by Wednesday, I will be able to express a more definite opinion, but would advise that no liberties be taken with him for either of his races. A FRESH MAN. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY• An attempt was made to- CleYtoback — several horses for the Metropolitan Stakes, but few were disposed to open their books on that event. 100 to 8, and afterwards 100 to 10, were taken about Ducat, which price (100 to 10) would have been taken about Panique. For the City and Subur ban Handicap, although Vancouver is the favourite, most money was put on Phantom. Judging from the business d, lie, the Vest colt, Ducat, and Suburban were not so firm. 100 to 8 was laid during the day against Ducat, but at the close no one seemed disposed to make an offer, and when the offer against Suburban reached 12 to 1 it was readily taken. Palestro and Limosina advanced to 20 to 1 each. Buckstone was freely supported for the Derby. F or the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, 100 to 9 was wanted about Caterer.
