The leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat. Good and fine qualities moved off slowly at previous quotations ; otherwise, the wheat trade was dull on rather easier terms. Barley, oats, beans, and peas, as well as flour, were in slow request, yet no material change took place in prices. The continental corn markets continue dull, but at New York the trade for wheat and flour is steady, although the demand for export is by no means extensive. Small supplies of English produce were received up to our marr6t last week. The imports from abroad were 44,288 quarters of wheat, 12,482 barley, 30,769 oats, 7,612 beans, 1,808 peas, 2,372 tares, 17,932 ltnseed, 2,380 rape seed, 1,724 maize, 360 sundry seeds, 2,378 sacks, and 7,105 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of home grown wheat were small. Generally speaking, however, the samples were of fair quality, and for the most part they came to hand in tolerably dry condition. In consequence of the large quantity of foreign wheat imported last week, the demand, both for red and white qualities, was in an inactive state; good and fine produce changed hands, at prices about equal to those current on Monday last, but for inferior parcels, a slight reduction in the quotations was in some few in stances submitted to in order to transact business. The show of samples of foreign ,heat on the stands was large. As regards all descriptions, buyers acted with great caution, yet no quotable change took place in prices, com pared with Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at late currencies. The supply of barley was but moderate. Good and fine malting qualities were decidedly firm as to value; other wise, the trade was quiet, but without leading to any altera tion in the rates current this day se'nnight. At fully the late decline in prices, a moderate business was transacted in malt. With oats the market was well supplied, and the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely previous quotations. The supply of beans was very moderate. Even the best descriptions met with a slow sale, yet prices were fairly supported. Peas, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly on former terms. The business doing in flour was confined to actual wants, yet most transactions were at last Monday's currency.

The show of each kind of foreign stock here to-day was only moderate. There were some good Dutch sheep amongst it; but, generally speaking, the quality of the supply was inferior. Buyers operated cautiously; nevertheless, prices were supported, With home .fed 'pasts we were seasonably well supplied, both as to number and quality. The arrival of meat up to Newgate and Leadenhall markets being extensive, the beef trade was by no means active. However, the bulk of the supply was disposed of, at prices equal to Monday last. The general top price for beef was 58 per 81bs ; but a few very superior Scots and crosses realised a trifle over that quota tion. Tho arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire comprised 2,600 short-horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, including a few from Norfolk, 900 various breeds ; from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 600 oxen and hoifers. With sheep the market was scantily supplied, and we observed very little improvement in their quality. Prime Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, at full prices--the top figure being 5s 8d per Sibs; but long-woolled sheep were a 81,:w inquiry, at about last week's currency. The supply of calves was moderate, and the veal trade ruled heavy, at previous quotations. The top price was 4s 6d per 81bs. Pigs were a dull inquiry, and rather lower in price. nk the offal. s. d. s. d.

Mr. Maynard, of Broad-street, said that he was the assignee to the estate, and was appointed by the creditors, although he was not himself a creditor, but he had investi gated the accounts, and believed the bankrupt to be an honest man, his difficulties principally caused from a loss of £4,000, and he had been sued on account of his wife. The bankrupt said that he had been before the court in 1856 under the Arrangement Act, and paid 4s. 6d. in the pound, and obtained his certificate. His Honour sent for the proceedings, but they could not be found. His Honour said, although the bankrupt at first stated so, Mr. Brougb, on coming into court, said that the case had been called on in his absence, but he appeared for the assignee. _ _ His Honour said it was a very singular ease that the bankrupt, who appeared to understand the proceedings of the court, should have made such a statement. He (his Honour) would, therefore, pass the examination and ad journ the order of discharge to inquire as to the arrange ment. 88 90 96 97 55 57 126 128 116 117 1103 105 67 69 1136 138 11l 113 203 205 llf 12 22 24 81 64 66 112 117 E 8 0 102 104 106 108 P 11 1 101 103 ei 6 103 105 92 96 103 105 83 85 loi 10i 104 106 82 84 'TALS.

Mr. Pender's friends are very confident of success, while, on the other hand, Mr. Dent's supporters consider they have a good chance of securing the seat. It is to be hoped that the means used on both sides will be legitimate, as it is well known that there are always certain burgesses in Totnee who prefer to vote for " Mr. Most," that being the term given in another Devonshire borough to the candidates who will give the highest price for votes. One of the large 300-pounder muzzle-loading guns, weighing about 12 tons, arrived at 'Woolwich on Saturday from Elswick, to be forwarded to Shoe buryness for trial against an iron-plated target, sub stantially backed with wood and built expressly for the experiment. Twelve of the same species of guns are ordered to be manufactured--six at Elswick, by Sir W. Armstrong, and six at the Royal gun facto ries, Woolwich, by Mr. Anderson, the whole of which will be ready for proof during the present month. These guns, it is stated, are intended for out Posts and fortifications. A monster sling-wagon to be used in their removal has been made in the Royal carriage department of the arsenal, and mounted on four wheels of extraordinary breadth and solidity, each wheel being also supplied with a railway break for travelling with safety over an incline. A number of Armstrong 40-pounder and 100- pounder wedge guns are in course of manufacture in the Royal gun factories at Woolwich at present; and at Els w i c k, Si r W m . A rmstrong i s . engaged in testing a number of 100-pounder gurs in prepara tion for the forthcoming important competition between the two rival manufacturers, his own and Mr. Whitworth, to take place at Shoeburyness. The Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal have received instructions to attend the trials, and depu tations of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineer officers have been invited to be present. The result of the experiments will, doubtless, go far to decide the relative merits of each gunmaker, and they are, consequently, looked forward to with much inte rest, and are commented upon freely. TRIAL IN FRANCE FOR SLATE-DEALING.—The Court of Assizes of tho Seine-Inferieure was last week en gaged three days in trying 20 persons on a charge of ille gally engaging in the slave trade, but only 11 of the accused were present. They were Lemore, a merchant and ship owner; Castel, captain of a merchant vessel, and nine sailors. Among the accused who have absconded were Kraft, an American ; Francisco Aguilar, a Spaniard ; Pignon-Blanc, a mate ; and seven sailors. It appears from the indict ment that in July, 1860, Lemore purchased a Spanish vessel named the Etelvina, which had run ashore near Havre, and been sold as a wreck. It was got afloat, re paired, and fitted out at Fecamp by Lemore and Kraft, ostensibly for a voyage to the coast of Africa for the palm oil trade. However, from the fittings of the Etelvina and the immense quantity of water and biscuit put on board, there could be no doubt that the vessel was really intended for the slave-trade, but she got off from Fecamp before th e authorities were awar e o f th e f ac t. C as t e l went as captain, and Pignon-Blano as first mate, Aguilar was supernarg: e . The Etelvina called at Teneriffe and took on board t r m s e he water and a quantity of planks. Two months anchored at a Portuguese factory on the slave co t as t t l , a e e e n v d es t s h e e. crew were then informed by Pignon-Blanc t 2 he soof h each, if had been sold to Aguilar, and offered them they would go with him to Havana, to whic h i ' thpeyigncon sented. At the same time Castel left the yeas; , and Blanc took the command. Not fewer tha s n sa 7 g e of forty-five 5 n egroes were then promptly embarked, and after a days landed on an island near Cub t a .edpPaanwn d sank her. Of Blanc then took the vessel into the offi ng ti sc ß u lanc 'there could be no the guilt of Kraft and P i gs ' cli to - establish a guilty know doubt, but the evidence failed ledge on the part of Lemore tel • and as to the and Castel coast of Africa, they had no sailors, when once on . the there or accept the offer made to tive but to remain alterna eat number of witnesses and them. After hearing a g r cou nsel for all the prisoners pr esent, the jury retired an d remained absent about an hour , when th ey returned into court with a verdict of Not Guilty in favour of all th e pri eouers, who were accordingly Pet At liberty, 2.018 2.10.8 FOREIGN MI A ustralian BonAccord Copper, L im.

POLICE-THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. Hugh Morris was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with having caused the death of Edward Leigh. It will be recollected that the deceased and the defendant were partaking of refreshments together at the Somer set Hotel, when they commenced playing with knives which they had been using. Unfortunately, the defendant indicted a wound in the abdomen of his companion. Surgical aid had to be called in, Leigh lingered for a few days, and then died. A coroner's inquest had since been held, and a verdict of "Accidental Death" had been re turned. Inspector Brimbacombe having informed Mr. Corrie o the result of the coroner's inquest, Mr. Corrie said he could hardly see how such a verdict could be returned. Inspector Brimbacombe informed the magistrate that the surgeon who attended the deceased was not present, Mr. Corrie wished to know the exact cause of death. Mr. Dunn, the surgeon, said infl Animation of the bowels, brought on by a wound which he had received. Corrie—lnflammation of the bowels caused by stab bing. He thought it would be his duty to send the defen dant for trial. He could net see how h 3 could do other. wise. Two men in a drunken fit commence playing with knives, and although the unfortunate man whose death had been brought about by it was as much to blame as the pri soner, yet that did not acquit him of the blame. Under all the circumstances, he should send the case to the ses sions, but he would admit the defendant to bail. The depositions were then made out, and the defendant was fully committed to take his trial for manslaughter. Two men named Ayres and Conner were charged with passing counterfeit coin. The first mentioned prisoner went into a shop in Holborn to purchase a necktie, and tendered a half.crown, which was fortunately discovered, before he left the shop, to be bad. Ayres was afterwards seen in company with the other prisoner, and shortly after wards Ayres entered the shop of Mr. Hoare in Ring-street, Holborn, and having asked to be served with some shirt collars, he again tendered half-a-crown. Mr. Hoare saw at once the coin was bad, and told the prisoner so. Con ner, who was with him, said it was not, but having slightly bent the coin, Mr. Hoare returned it to Ayres, who left the shop ; but as Mr. Hoare saw them enter a public-house imme diately facing his house, and very shortly after rapidly retreat, therefore he ran across, and he then found they had succeeded in passing the bad. half-crown. He ran after them, and on coming up with a police-constable he gave both men into custody. _ _ Both prisoners denied all knowledge of the coin being a bad one. Mr. Corrie committed both prisoners for trial: WESTMINSTER. OUTRAGEOUS ATTACL UPON A PUBLICAN BY TRB MILITARY.—Herbert Pearce, James Lord, and Martin Wallis, three privates of the Grenadier Gmrds, the for mer wearing a good conduct stripe, and the two first-named with black eyes, were charged as follows : William Stockley, landlord of the Pakenham Arms, Knightsbridge-green, said on Saturday night the defend ants and two other soldiers came into his house, and coming upstairs wanted to enter his concert room. As they were drunk he directed his manager not to admit them, espe cially as he had forbidden two of them to enter the house before complainant told them he could not have them in his concert room, when they began to use wry bad lan guage, and forced their way in. They struggled with them and got them out, when Pearce struck complainant, and another man, who escaped, also struck him. These three then all attacked him, and tried to throw him over the banisters, but he got his back against the wall, and fought in self-defence, during which he gave the two soldiers black eyes. Complainant at length sent for the police, when they rushed down stairs, and Wallis and the two others went into the bar and caused damage to the extent of £3 2s. 2d. Samuel Geary, 267 A, said he was called into the public house, and found a crowd of 400 or 500 persons assembled. Hearing screams of murder inside, he got in after some difficulty, and saw Wallis and the two who have escaped breaking everything they could get at in the bar. He took Wallis into custody, when he struck him several times, and but for assistance he would have been roughly handled, as the mob incited the soldiers to attack the police. The defendants declared that they were assaulted by the landlord and his men. It having been intimated that Pearce and Lord bore a good character, but that Wallis was very irregular as a soldier, Mr. Paynter said he was sorry to see such men before him. Pearce and Lord, however, seemed to have got the worst of it, and he should only fine them ss. each. As to Wallis, he should fine him the amount of damage, and ss. in addition, or in default commit him for six weeks. They were locked up. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. HOUSEBREAKING.—WiIIiam Phillips, a shoemaker, who gave a false address, and Riwerd Pearse, a labourer, who refused his address, were charged with breaking and enter ing the house of Mr. Joseph Johnston, hosier, 323, Oxford street, and stealing some stockings. From the evidence of Sergeant Mullord, 28 C, it appeared that about 20 minutes past 6 this morning, while passing up Regent-circus, in company with Stevens, 27 C, he heard a smash of glass, and saw the prisoner Pearse run from the door of Mr. Johnston, 323, Oxford-street. Ile (Mullord) immediately pursued Pearse, thinking that there was some thing wrong, and and after a pursuit through several streets Pearse was stopped by Fairfax, 73 D. Stevens, who had gone up to the house from which Pearse was seen to run, found Phillips hanging by the arms from the frame of the fanlight, the glass of which had been smashed, and took Phillips into custody. On the premises being examined it 'as found that au entrance had been attempted to be gained by means of breaking a pane of glass in the fanlight to get at the fastening, and that a parcel of stockings had been removed from the place where they had been deposited. Prisoners were remanded. A DETERMINED STREET THlEF.—George Garvel, a shabby-looking fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with attempting to steal a gold watch from the person of Mr. Arthur Fitch, clerk, residing at 13, Ampton-street, Greys-inn-road. Mr. Fitch raid he was walking up Regent-street last night at half-past nine, when the prisoner came up to him and made a snatch at his watch-chain and pulled his watch out of his pocket. The prisoner then seized hold of the watch and tried to pull it from the chain, but the chain not breaking, ho let go the watch and then made off, but he pursued him and handed him over to a constable. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said the watch was of the value of £2O. A constable said that on searching the prisoner he found .4 duplicates relating to tools. The prisoner said he had no answer to make to the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed him for trial. THAMES, TEA ROESERY IN THE LONDON-DOCK.—Robert Allen, "head man" or foreman of a gang of labourers in the Lon don-dock, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing 11 ounces of tea, the property of the London-dock Company. John George, a constable in the service of the London dock Company, stated that on Saturday afternoon, soon after 4 o'clock, he stopped the prisoner as he was leaving the dock at the western gate and asked him if he had any tea about him, to which he replied that he had none. He told the prisoner he must search him. The prisoner, who was greatly agitated, immediately said," I am aruined man." He then searched the prisoner, and found in hiscoat pocket 3 ounces, and in each of his boots 4 ounces of tea, making in all 11 ounces. He asked the prisoner where he obtained the tea, and ho said it was given to his. The prisoner had been in the employ of the company 16 years, and was head man in one of the warehouses. That was a situation of trust and responsibility, and the prisoner was allowed to pass in and out of the dock without being searched, and would not have been searched at all if he had not receivod information of a robbery. Joseph Maddocks, a labourer, stated that he saw the pri- Boner put his hand into a chest of tea on Saturday after noon, and take out a handful with which he left the ware house. The prisoner, in defence, said that some of the tea was given to him. Mr Woolrych—You were seen to take the tea out of the chest. The prisoner—Not all that was found on me. There has not been a single blemish on my character for 15 years. It is the first time I was ever charged with dishonesty. Mr. Wookph said it was very unfortunate for the pri soner that in a single moment he had destroyed the good character without which he could not obtain employment again. The prisoner was engaged in reponsible duties, and his conduct could not be overlooked. He fined th e • 15s and in default of payment six days' 6 impri sonment for the unlawful possession of the tea found upo n ~ PLEASANT FOR CRINOLINE WEARERS.-At the Sunderland Police-court, on Thursday, Patrick M'Garvey, who keeps a beer-house at the low end of the town, in Silver-street, was brought up and fined for keeping a dis orderly house. The officers said they saw a small party of men leave the house to fight. Inside they found twenty men, most of them drunk and very noisy. In one room,' where fiddling and dancing were going on, there were about twenty young girls from sixteen to twenty years of age. In making his defence, Patrick said the girls had no crinolines on, and therefore he " didn't think they were bad lasses I" Newcastle Chronicle.

The Paris paper Le Temp, having opened EC subscription on behalf of Rosalie Doise, the late victim of an Imperial Court of Justice, M. Victor Hugo has written the following letter to the editor of that journal : sir,—Have the goodness to put down my name for 200. francs in the subscription Gardin. But we must not confine ourselves to money. Something worse perhaps than tho affair of Lesurques, the re-establishment of torture in France in the 19th century, confession extorted by suffoca tion, the strait waistcoat put on a pregnant woman, the prisoner urged to madness—l know not what frightful legal infanticide—the child murdered by torture in its mother's womb—the conduct of the examining magistrate, of the judges, and two procureurs-generaux—innocence con demned, and when afterwards acknowledged, insulted in open court in the name of that justice which should have fallen on its knees before her—all this is not an affair of money. No doubt the subscription is well, useful, and praise worthy, but a hi g h er i n d emn it y i s ca ll e d f or . S oc i e ty is more deeply Wounded than Rosalie Doise.

Six companies, 'completely equipped, will embark at Toulon one. the 15th on the large transport Japon, which will convey them to Alexandria. Four officers of the Ist Regiment of Marines, at:present in Cherbourg, have been selected for this expedition.

REPRESENTATION OF EAST KENT.—Mr. F. Wykeham Martin, the father of the member for Rochester, is spoken of as the candidate in the Liberal interest for the eastern division of the county of Kent, rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Deedes. The Conservatives are already at work to secure the return of Sir Norton Knatchbull. The name of Mr. Peresford Hope, who has estates in the county, has also been mentioned. ROYAL NAVAL RESERVE.-16,091 applications have been received and 14,166 volunteers enrolled :—Of the above 49 possess certificates of competency as masters ; 189 certificates of competency as mates; 19 certificates of ser vice as masters; 47 certificates of service as mates. The force also includes 2,240 petty officers in the merchant service. Considerable progress has been made in the work of plating the Royal Oak, at Chatham, the whole of the available shipwrights and mechanics not required on the iron frigate Achilles, 50, now working upon her. The last tier of armour plates, which will entirely encase hei' from stem to stern—rendering her, in fact, a complete maa3 of floating iron—was affixed to her sides on Friday, and the mechanics have commenced bolting the armour plates' to her stern. The theatrical company at Compiegne is very numerous, and its members are as hospitably treated as . • were at Versailles the comedians who performed MoHere's , plays before Louis Quatorze. They all travelled from Paris in a special train, consisting of first class carriages, no matter whether they were scene shifters, stage carpenters, mutes, or prompters. As they set out at about 3in th afternoon they reached their destination about 4, when a dinner, served on two tables, awaited them in an immense dining-hall. Around one table were placed the etat major of the company, such as the director, stage manager, actors, actresses, author or authors of the pieces they were to act in the course of the evening, and the principal inembers of the orchestra. The rest dined at the second table. But all were given the same dishes, the same wines, and ,Rerved with equally fine linen, porcelain, and silver, as well as provided with the same number of attendants. Cigars and coffee were handed round after the cloth was removed in two salons, where, after they had dined, the two sets retired. for half an hour, at the end of which they proceeded along a seemingly interminable passage to the theatre, where the play appointed for the same evening was rehearsed till half past 7. At half-past 8 the Emperor and Eznpress made their appearance, which was the signal for the performance to commence. When it was finished the theatric,il com pany were again conducted to the mile a manger in which they dined, where a champagne supper awaited them. AUSTRIAN GUNNERY EXPERIMENTS..-.-The Aus trians have been steadily pursuing a systematic course of experiments with gun-cotton, and not only have they per fected this material, so as to use it in field guns, but have also been led to investigate the properties of metals with the view of finding an alloy which would impart hardness to copper, and enable them to obtain a perfect, safe, strong, and durable gun. This they have nocF effected, and it is said that their gun-metal, by the addition pf a small quan tity of iron, has been made very ,hard, and als.' exceedingly tough and elastic. One great advantage possessbs,d by this gun-metal is, that it can be recast at small cost ii the guns become damaged, or the rifl!ng prove unsatisfactory. The field-pieces have been rifled with grooves, which help to support the projectile in centering upon a rounded bearingf The projectile is of iron only, indeed nothing else would withstand the force of the gun-cotton, which is more in stantaneous in its explosion than gunpowder:, and therefore a higher velocity can be obtained with a much shorter gun. The Austrian Government is now about to cast large ord nance, and if the reports gi ven t o us be cor r ect, they have certainly hit upon the right metal, as it withstands the blows of shot fired at it much better than any material which we have yet used in England.—..e/rmy and Navy Gazette. DR. NELATON'S REFUSAL OF PARLIAMENTARY HoNouss.—The follwing is given by some of the journals as the reply of Dr. Nelaton to a certain number of work men who offered to vote for him as deputy :—" Gentlemen, —I feel much gratified at the step you have taken, but I must confess that it astonishes me as much as it does net honour. Ido not well see how my knowledge of surgery can have made you imagine that I am qualified for the: mission with which you wish to invest me, or how I should: have become a political economist, a financier, and a legis lator, because I have discovered the presence of a ball in the foot of a wounded man. If the object in view were to appoint me surgeon to the Chamber, that would be a diffe rent affair; but the business of a deputy is what I have never learnt in Hippocrates, and for which, to speak frankly, I have no taste. lam even convinced that the affairs of the country would not go on better, and that ray patients being neglected would fare the worse. I must, therefore, while thanking you for what you have done, de clare that you propose to me an honour which it is impos sible for me to accept." We very much regret to hear that Sir Henry W.
