HORXi 9 DIONEY 111A_RKET AND CITY .IVETI'S. CITY, Two o'CLocx. There has not been much animation in the mar ket 4 for Foreign and Colonial Produce during the last few days, and prices generally have shown a downward tendency. At the public sales of tea a decline of ld. to 2d. per lb. has taken place on the superior kinds, and sugars have receded 3d. to 6d. per cwt. for the better descriptions. For coffee there has been a very moderate inquiry, the deal ings having been confined to immediate require ments. Rice has continued in good demand, and at full values. The dealings in fruit and spices have been on a limited scale, and have consisted chiefly of low and inferior kinds, which have rea lised about previous rates. The inquiries for salt petre were to a limited extent, and in tallow no material change can be recorded. The public sales of foreign and colonial wool will commence on the 3d proximo. The money market continues to exhibit symp toms of improvement. A full explanation was given in Parliament last evening with regard to the recent locking-up of bank notes, and the ques tion, it is hoped, will now cease to occupy attention. The public, having ascertained the cause of the late disturbance, are very eager to borrow in anticipa tion of future events ; the bankers and brokers, for the same reason, are now inclined to employ their means. The result is, that the market is decidedly easier. Competition, in fact, has been actively resumed, and bills are discounted in consequence at lower rates. The Bourse, indeed, is no longer the cheapest place of resort for the negotiation of choice bills, securities of that description exciting no demand elsewhere on terms varying i• to per cent. under the 5 per cent. minimum. But for these heavy payments, due in connexion with loans, &c., it is probable that the authorities would shortly be enabled to lower their quotations, and, notwith standing an occasional revival of activity, it is ex• pected that the tendency will still be in that direction. At the Bank of England, yesterday, there were no bullion operations of importance. Notice has been given that the sum of X 46,137 5s has been empldyed in the redemption of 348 Peru vian 3 per cent. Bonds of 1853. Advices have been received of the arrival at Aden, of the 4th April, of the steamer Malta, with the London mail of the 19th March, en route to Australia; The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed moderately active, and prices were firm. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market business continued quiet, and quo tations tended downwards. There has not been much activity to-day in the market for Public Securities, but a moderate amount of business was recorded during the morn ing at previous rates. Some heaviness, however, prevailed yesterday afternoon, and the market has not yet regained its buoyant tone, the state of foreign politics being spoken of in unfavour able terms by the principal dealers and speculators. Consols have been 94t ; for money, and 94; 95 for the account. They are now 94! and 94; " sellers" respectively. The New Three per Cents. are steady at NIL and the Reduced at 931 India Loan is firm at 1061 /-; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper remains at 981 2 ; ditto 51 per Cent. ditto at 104 ; but the Bonds are heavy at 143. dis. ; and Exchequer Bills are Bs. to l le. prem. The Foreign Stock Market has been moderately active, but prices are depressed. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 761 ; ditto New, 611 1. Brazilian 41 per Cents. (1858) have receded to 90; Chilian 41 per Cents. to 851; and Portuguese to 4311,. Spanish is firm at 47, and Dutch 21 per Cents. at 611 i. The Osean Marine Insurance Shares are prem. ; the Universal ditto, t d prem. ; the Vic toria Loan, 1051 1. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been on a very limited scale, and prices have shown a downward tendency. Caledonian, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-Western, Mid land, North-Eastern (Berwick), and South-Eastern have each declined about 5s ; and Great Northern A. Stock, £l. Bristol and Exeter have im proved £l. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have have shown very little variation. Buenos Ayres and San Francisco have improved to 51; Grand Trunk of Canada have declined to MI ; and Great Western of Canada to 13*. East Indian are steady at 1011 102 ; and Great Indian Peninsula, at 991 1. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares are inactive, but prices tend upwards. London and County have improved 10s. ; London Joint-Stock, ; and Union of Australia, 55. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 93/ I B 3 per Cent.

The TOWN CLERIC read a communication which had been addressed to him by Mr. Cobden, as follows : " Paris, March 31, 1860. " Mr. Cobden presents his compliments to the Town Clerk, and begs to thank him for the copy of the resolution of the Court of Common Council of the 22d inst., voting to Mr. Cobden the freedom of the City of London." Mr. FULLER moved thut the communication should be entered on the journals of the Court. Mr. Ross seconded the motion. Mr. W. Cox—ls that the whole of the contents of the letter The Town Clerk—That is all. Mr. Deputy BARNARD—And enough, too, Mr. Cobden is a man of business. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then agreed to. THE SITE OF SMITHFIELD. In answer to an inquiry from Mr. Lawley, as to whether any decisive answer had been received from the Home Secretary respecting the appropria tion of a portion of Smithfield for a dead-meat market. Mr. TAYLOR said no answer had yet been re ceived, but that he expected one in a day or two, and he hoped it would be of a satisfactory cha racter. WEEKS'S HOT HOUSES.—There are several im provements recently introduced into the ingenious system of heating by hot water apparatus—pits, green houses, and conservatories—a system con trived some time back by the Messrs. Weeks and Company, of Chelsea, the eminent horticultural builders, engineers, ieonfounders, and manufac turers. These improvements, which are clearly defined by the inventors themselves in an octavo pamphlet of 48 pages, profusely illustrated with explanatory wood-engravings, may be inspected any day by the curious in such matters at the establishment of the firm, lying between the King's read and the Fulham-road, and extending the Whole distance (at the point indicated) between these two great thoroughfares.

The excitement occasioned by the horrible mur der of Miss Elizabeth Pulley was yesterday brought to a climax by its becoming known that Henry Corby, the man charged with the foul crime, had committed suicide in his cell at the gaol at Stam ford. It appears that the conduct of the prisoner, whilst in custody, had been such as to disarm sus picion that he was likely to make any attempt upon his life ; he was therefore allowed to sleep alone. Corby was visited by the Governor (Mr. Hewer dine) several times in the course of Wednesday, and was last seen alive in the evening, when he was locked up for the night. Yesterday morning it was discovered that the prisoner had hung himself; he had improvised a halter by tearing up one of the sheets of his bed, and with this he had sus pended himself to an iron stancheon in the windows of his cell. When found the body was not quite cold, but it was supposed by Mr. Howard, the gaol surgeon, that life had been extinct about six hours. On a slate the deceased had written, in a tolerably bold hand, the following letter to his family : "My dear Wife and Children,—l hope the Lord will pre • serve you through these trials and troubles, and pray to him to assist you. I hope you will all of you be friendly one with another. Joe, be sure you stop with Mr. B. as long as he wishes for you. You maybe a help to your mother, and she to you. I hope you will all look to your mother. Tell her I think she had better go to the board and see if they will allow her anything to assist her. Now, above all, try to forget me as soon as you can. Sell all that I wore, so that it may not put me in remembrance. If any one mentions me, say you de not wish to hear anything. Ask the mayor if Mr. Ward (superintendent of police) should not give up the money and things he took from me. Joe, my dear boy, keep from public-houses. Ask Mr. Law (solicitor) if he has got any money in for you. May the Lord preserve you all from sin and Satan. " Adieu, my dear wife, from your unfortunate husband. " Adieu, my dear children, from your unfortunate father, " HENRY COREY. "! May the Lord rest my soul. Amen." The other side of the slate the prisoner had covered with particulars of work by him and of money due to him. An inquest was at once held on the body before Mr. John Torkington, the borough coroner, when the jury returned a verdict of felo de se. Although the wretched man made no admission of his guilt, little doubt exists from the evidence that was to be brought forward at the adjourned examination, but that he was the perpetrator of the dreadful crime. TILE LATE FIGHT FOR THE CIIAM- PIONSIIIP. Mr. George Wilkes, in a letter to the Times, says :—Sir —I am desired to state, on the part of Mr. Jchn C. Heenan , in answer to your report of this morning, that neither ho nor any person authorised to act for him requested the referee at the late encounter between Sayers and himself to stop the fight when the ring was broken into. On the con trary, ho and his friends, nearly all of whom were grouped in a little handful at his corner, repeatedly protested against the invasion of the ropes, and demanded that the fight should not be interrupted. In proof of this, Heenan breasted his way three times through the crowd of persons who poured into the arena from the side of Sayers to renew the combat 9,fter, that outrage had taken place, and who refused to leave the ring, and did not do so until Sayers had been withdrawn. He wishes me to say, moreover, that he feels sure that, had not that occurrence taken place, he would soon have made his victory manifest to the most prejudiced person on the ground. As to the suggestion which has been kindly made by the editor of Bell's Life, that Sayers and he should have a Belt a-piece, he begs to say that, while he will cheerfully subscribe to a new testimonial for his brave and honourable adversary, he will have none other that the one he came 9,000 miles to get, and which he honestly feels he has already won. He believes, however, he can win it again, if required to do so, and, if it be really amenable to conquest by a stranger, he will not leave your shores until he brings his late contest to a new and due conclusion. On the part of many ♦mericans in London who have called upon me, we repudiate entirely the idea expressed at the conclusion of your article—namely, that Heenan's American supporters " consent to the contest being consi dered a drawn battle." They, on the contrary, insist that the fight, if not decided to be already won by Heenan, shall be considered as still pending, and subject to renewal at the earliest possible day. Through a note from the referee, which now lies before me, I learn he refuses a new arbitra ment this week (according to the usual custom), "on the ground of humanity ;" but, while the friends of Mr. Heenan cannot object to such a highly creditable motive, they dis claim for him the requirement of any such consideration, he being quite capable of responding to the orders of the referee, and will so respond at an hour's notice. The friends of Heenan, while they acquit the upright and gallant Sayers and his immediate backers from any participation in the violent interruption of the contest, wish to declare the clearness of Heenan's supporters from any complicity with that outrage ; and in this connection desire me to say that when a man in our country who has engaged to subdue an other requires outside aid to help him, as was given to Sayers in the 39th rouad, he is considered to be beaten. In short, whenever " humanity" justifies such interference, the verdiet is g iven against the man whose conquered and hrip.l.se oonaition roquiroa tho prsotiodra iaborposit , ion, of such a sentiment. In conclusion, I wish to say fur myself that in the haste of writing my long report, the battle part of which has been published here in an illustrated extra, a few errors crept in which could not be corrected for that edition, as I had no time allowed me to either revise my manuscript or road its proof. One of those errors was the omission of the word " at" in the last line of one of the closing rounds, when, in speaking of the conduct of the persons who broke into the ring, it should read " they kicked at and struck at him," instead of " kicked and struck him." I send with this a corrected copy of that report, and if you will lay it before the gentleman who prepared your ably written account of Wednesday, and he will point out any errors I may have made therein, I will cheerfully correct it for perusal in America. We are requested to state that arrangements in the Education-office will render it unnecessary to fill up the Inspectorship which has become vacant by the death of the late Mr. Jellinger Symonds. MR. ERNEST JONES.—We understand that Mr. Ernest Jones is about to follow his profession as a barrister, and intends to practise in the Old Bailey and on the Northern Circuit. Mr. Jones was called to the bar in 1844. TRIBUTE TO THE CHAMPION.—Seventy pounds were collected for Sayers on 'Change at Liverpool yester day. EARLIER DEPARTURE OF THE DAY MAIL TO FRANCE.—On the Ist May next, and thenceforward, the day mail to France will be despatched from the London bridge Station at 6.65 a.m., instead of 1.30 p.m. as at pre sent, and it will arrive in Paris in time for the letters ad dressed to that city to be delivered the same evening, and for the correspondence for places beyond Paris to be for • warded by the night mails. The following are the regu lations under which letters, newspapers, and other printed papers addressed to France, or intended to be forwarded through France, may . be posted on and after the date men tioned, for transmission by the day mail :—At any of the ordinary receiving offices, up to 9 o'clock the previous evening ; at the district offices, and at the branch offices at Charing-cross and Lombard-street, as well as at the pillar letter boxes in the town districts, up to 5 o' clock on the morning of despatch; at the chief office, Saint Martin's-le- Grand, up to 6.30 a.m. ; at the Foreign Post-office (adjoin ing the Continental Parcels Office) at the South-Eastern Railway Station, London-bridge, up to 6.50 a.m. A corre sponding alteration will be made in the arrangement for despatching the day mail from Paris ; and this mail will be due in time for paid letters to be delivered in London the same evening, and for both paid and unpaid letters to be forwarded to the country by the night mails. - - - THE MURDER AT PENRITII.—Thomas Sowerby was re-examined before the Penrith magistrates on Wed nesday, charged with the wilful murder of a Jew named Simon Maeassa. The preliminary examination appeared in The Sun of Friday last. Dr. Pearson, who made the post mortena examination, described the wounds, and gave his opinion that they might have been produced by the stick which was found near the place where the deceased was lying. From the evidence it appeared that the pri • soner, on his way home to his lodging, had to pass along the same roa3 as the deceased. The prisoner was again re • mended_ for a week. STEEPLECHASING IN FRANCE.—A correspondent from Pau writes on the 14th inst. :—" An amateur steeple chase and a couple of flat races, open to all horses ridden last season with our ;drag,' came off this afternoon in the presence of an unusually large number of spectators. Nine horses started for the first-named event, but, not withstanding the short distance, the moderate pace, never equal to that of our English hounds when running the drag,' and the small fences, only three passed the winning pest; the others were either down or completely pumped out long before the finish. Better things were certainly expected of them. A thoroughbred horse, Tra veller, the property of and ridden by Mr. It. L. Power, came in first, anything but an easy winner, closely pressed by Canalotti, a half-bred mars of the country, and a coarse bred horse from the Emerald Isle. The flat race was a hollow thing, being won easily in two heats by Mr. Law son's Sansfacon, with his owner up. The hunting season , having been thus brilliantly closed a fresh series of out door pastimes will have to console us for the absenee of its excitements until the heats of the approaching sum mer shall force us to fly to cooler latitudes. The annual steeple well contested race among chase wall won last Wednesday by M. Borda's tbheeatwiningntehrroef t e o t ia he y rs . , nigh distancin g T rave ll er , the first three horses in.

The running was made by Romsey to the road, where he was beaten, and 'Weatherbound came on, attended by Precise and Fravola. Precise dropped back at the distance, and Avalanche joined Weatherbound and Fravola half-way up; the three running a most exciting race home, the fa vourite winning by a head ; a " short head" only separated the second from the third ; Precise a bad fourth ; Ryton fifth; the other three beaten off.

The start was much delayed. At the last moment, J. Adams was substituted for Sadler, who had weighed for Confectioner, and Perry did not mount Mazzini until long after the horses had arrived at the starting post. The break ings away were frequent and vexatious, and the many fail ures sorely tried the patience of the spectators. The most prominently refractory lot comprised The Nun, Bentinck, Ariadne, Tocher, Regius Professor, and Yoicks ; and on the complaint of the starter, the respective riders of those horses were ordered to appear before the stewards to-mor row (Friday) at one o'clock. When the signal was given, the 36 competitors quitted the post in very straggling order, Bentinck, Ariadne, Confectioner, Tocher, Theodora, and Remunerator getting away in front, with Comforter in the centre of the ruck, Birdbolt, who, with three or four others, lost much start, being several lengths in the rear. On going through the furze Bentinck, Confectioner, and Re munerator were nearly side by side, separated by a clear in terval from their pursuers, and they ran with little material alteration in their position to the bend, where Chere Amie and Narcissus showed well up, Comforter and Lord Nelson being in their wake. After crossing the road Apollyon be gan to draw forward, and Bentinck dropped back, and Con fectioner soon after swerving to the left on the lower ground, Comforter went on with the running, closely pur sued by Lord Nelson, Apollyon, and Tocher. Wells went vigorously to work with Lord Nelson, and by his exertions lost his cap. A very fine race with the first two ensued, Lord Nelson getting up in the last few strides, and making a dead heat. Apollyon was beaten a length and a half, having the advantage of a head over Tocher. Chore Arnie was fifth, Regius Professor, Brown Holland, Confectioner, and Drog heda next. The last lot comprised Curlew, Narcissus, Bird bolt, and Odo. Deciding heat :—Betting, 6to 4on Com forter.

The adjourned Quarter Sessions for the County of Mid dlesex was held this morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, for the purpose of considering the appeals of Nathaniel Laugh= and Benjamin Caunt against the decisions of the Licencing Magistrates, refusing the renewal of their licences. The bench was very fully attended, and amongst the magistrates were the Assistant Judge, Mr. Bodkin, and Messrs. Burslem, Pence, Antrobus, Woolsey, Parbury, D. Fletcher, Harwood, Rankine, Sir R. W. Carden, Baylis, Uzielli, Griffiths, Hogarth, Healy, Garford, R. Ballantine, Major Lyon, E. Coz Wyatt, and, during the sitting, a number of other county magistrates. On the case of Nat Langham's being called on, Mr. Sleigh said he, with his learned friend, Mr. Le Breton, appeared for the vestry of St. Martin's, who had opposed the license before the magistrates in the case of Ben Caunt, and he thought it right at once to say that the vestry had no locus standi in this case, and therefore he could merely watch the case. His learned friends, Mr. D. Keane and Mr. Tindal Atkisson; would represent the respondent magistrates, and Mr. Edwin James, Q.C. and Mr. Poland the appellant. Mr. D. Keane thin opened the case on the part of the respondents, and briefly referred to the cause of the refusal of the license to Langham's house, the Cambrian Stores, it being on account of the frequent complaints of the inhabi tants of the annoyance that was created by the frequent as semblage of a vast crowd of persons in front of, and inside the house, and to such an extent had it gone on, that the business of the neighbourhood was materially injured and the peace of the inhabitants disturbed by the nightly noises of dancing, rough music, and language of the most disgusting character. The learned counsel called a number of witnesses to prove the facts he had briefly referred to. Mr. E. James then addressed the bench en the part of the appellant, and said that this was a case which must be dealt with in a plain and straightforward manner, and must not be considered in a critical point of view, which ought not to be listened to in a court of justice. It was well known that all persons connected with pugilism looked forward to a public-house as a harbour of refuge, and they must all recollect the days when Lord Byron and Mr. Hob house went to Tom Cribb's ; when magistrates granted licences to pugilists it would be consummate hypocrisy to say they did not know the class of persons who would frequent the house ; all that the magistrates had to con sider was that the applicant conducted his house properly, and having invested a large amount of capital, the license ought not to be refused except from personal misconduct, and not because crowds assembled when a prize fight cams off. They all knew that the late fight had created great interest throughout the country, and was as much talked of in the House of Commons as in every person's house from the highest to the lowest. After some further obser vations the learned counsel submitted there was no grounds for withholding the license. The Assistant-Judge said he did not purpose to offer any observations, further than the magistrates ought to decide upon the evidence, and not from any prejudice arising out of what they had hoard. The magistrates then divided, when the numbers wero— For the renewal Against it .. . • Majority 4 The licence is accordingly lost. .. .. .. .. .. 19 THE COACH AND HORSES.--BEN CAUNT. The appeal of Mr. Caunt against the refusal of his license to sell exciseable liquors was next taken: Mr. D. Keane and Mr. Tindal Atkinson appeared for the respondent magistrate, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. Metcalfe appeared for Caunt. Mr. Keane, in supporting the refusal, said that the ma gistrates were governed in the decision to which they had come by the most careful consideration. The license was refused on three grounds; first, that Caunt permitted gam bling in his house; next, that he was in the habit of getting drunk, and, therefore, a very unfit person to conduct a pub • lic-house ; and, thirdly, that it was a house of the same description—viz., a "fighting house," and, consequently, a nuisance to the neighbourhood. In addition to these ob jections, he had to inform the bench that Caunt had been fined no less than four times by the magistrates. Once in 1856 he was fined £3 ; _ _ next, in 1857, when he was fined 20s. for permitting dis orderly persons in his house ; then in 1858, for permitting drunkenness ; and lastly, in 1859, for again permitting dis orderly persons tc, assemble at his house. He felt he should be able to prove all that he had stated, and that being so, he thought the refusal of the magistrates would be affirmed. He then called James Cooke, police constable F 161, who said—On the 16th of Dec. I was on duty near the Coach and Horses, and I heard a cry of police, and a female told me I was wanted at Mr. Count's. I went to the house, and I was directed to stand at the door to see that no one left the house. I was relieved by constable 30 F. He and Sergeant Davis went in. I know nothing of what took place inside. The records of the convictions ;were here tendered as evidence, but the Court ruled that they were not admissible. Constable F 30, said I went into the house on that °ea alma. A. gentlennut named ciarrett said, in tho pronenoo of Caunt, that ho had been robbed and assaulted, but the man had gone away and that Caunt knew where he was. This Caunt denied, and said the money had been lost fair enough. Garrett said he had lost about £l4. This was in the bar parlour. Caunt was drunk. He had a pint pot in his hand, but I don't know what was in it. Sergeantßallantine —A policeman never does. (Laughter.) Witness continued—A person named Page was also there. He said the money had been fairly lost. Cross-examined by Sergeant Ballantine—Caunt never said he had been in the club-room. Sergeant Lambert was present. He heard all that was said. Policeman 14 C—l was inside the house on the occa sion referred to. Caunt said that Garrett and several others had been playing cards all day, and that the money was fairly lost. Caunt was drunk. I have been in very frequently, and I have sometimes seen Caunt drunk. In December, on the occasion of a prize-fight coming off, I have aeon great numbers of bad characters outside. I have seen pictures of Heenan and Sayers exhibited in the win • dews. Cross .examined —I have seen such pictures as those I have named in other public house windows. I have been told sparring has been permitted in the house, but I cannot swear that it was. Alderman Salomons—How many times have you been in Caunt's house l' Witness —About 18 times. Alderman Salomons_And how many times out of those have you seen Caunt drunk ? Witness—About 10 or 12 times. Sergeant Ballantine asked the bench to ask the witness if he did not swear, when the magistrates below refused the licences, that it was only six times ? Witness—l said that six times out of those I had seen Caunt intoxicated, he was very drunk. Police-constable 4 F said that on the 16th of December I went into Caunt's house, at 12 o'clock at night. Garrett said he had been drugged and " bested" of about £l4. Caunt said he had lost the money fairly, that he (Garrett) had been dining there, and had drank 14 bottles of cham pagne. Tom Paddock then came in and took the pint pot from Caunt's hand, which he said contained champagne. Ile drank some of it, and then handed it to me. I refused to drink. Garrett complained that he was ill from the effects of the champagne, but not drunk. Caunt was very drunk. Inspector Webb gave evidence to the effect that card playing had been allowed i n th e house. Caunt, however, told him that if they had been played with the parties must have brought them in with them as he had never supplied them. Caunt has been very frequently cautioned about the way he had conducted his house. On the occasion of the tight by Tom Sayers and Bob Brettle it took six police constables to keep the street clear before Caunt's house. Superintendent Hannant said he had seen a bill in the window of Caunt's house announcing that "sparring" took place there every evening, and he had received complaints of the manner in which Caunt conducted his house. Mr. John Groom, beadle of St. Martin's Parish, said he had been sent by the churchwardens on Sunday, the 16th January, to ask Caunt to take the pictures of Sayers and Heenan out of his window, as a crowd of persons collected in front of it in consequence of them being there during divine service. Mr. W. Lock, residing next door to Caunt's house—Said ho was frequently, during the last two years, disturbed by the noises from Caunt's house. He had frequently been awoke in the middle of the night by bumps against the walls, banjo playing, clog dancing, and such like noises. During the last week he had lest entirely three days business in con sequence of the crowds congregated outside Caunt's house discussing the fight for the championship. He was com • gelled to shut up the shop at seven o'clock in the evening instead of nine, owing to the crowds in front of Caunt's house. The nuisance was altogether intolerable. Mr. Marshall, churchwarden of St. Martin's, said he re sided opposite Caunt's house for nearly 14 years in St. Martin's-lane. His business suffered greatly in conse quence of the crowds who frequently collected at Caunt's house. He had frequently to sand to Vine-street Police Station to ask for the assistance of the police to enable his customers to either enter or leave his shop. This was the case for the respondent. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then proceeded to address the jury on behalf of Caunt. Ho contended that the case for the refusal of the license had not been made out. The ma gistrates by their:decision were not simply fining a'man five or ten pounds for some offence against the licensing laws, but their decision was, in fact, a yes or no to a question which involved his utter ruin. It was well-known that men of the position of Can't, by the assistance of friends, and the hard-earned savings of their own, took public-houses aid after having done so it would be absolute ruin if that license was taken away from them without a fair warning. He had conducted the house well for about 18 years, during which there had in fact been but one conviction proved against him. The magi strates well knew that a few years ago Caunt had had the misfortune to loose two of his children by fire, and that calamity had been increased by the loss of his! wife. He had, to s certain extent, had recourse to a method which destroyed recollection for a time • but he was not what was imputed an habitual drunk ard. He trusted the bench would reverse the decision of the magis trates below, and the expense and anxiety of the present proceedings would act as a final warning to his client. Mr. Bodkin then put the question to the bench, when there appeared— For the renewal Against it Majority against renewal The decision of therm rgi,;:t - iates below was affirmea, and the licenze was refused.

Fresh up, to-day, very little English wheat came to hand coastwise or by land carriage ; hence the show of samples was limited. For all kinds there was a steady de• mend, at fully Monday's improvement in the quotations. Owing to a large influx, amounting to nearly 23,000 qjtarters, foreign wheat was less active ; nevertheless prices were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain commanded previous rates. There was a steady inquiry for barley, at full currencies. The supply of English was limited. Fine samples of malt sold steadily, other kinds slowly. In prices no change took place. There was a good conaumptive demand for oats, at ex treme quotations. Beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday. The flour trade was healthy, at full prices. ARRIVALS THIS WHEY. Wheat.
