The private con tract market is firm, at very full prices. Last week's im ports were only 528 bales from Port Philip. CORN EXCHANGE. The supplies "of wheat on offer in the country markets held on Saturday were very moderate, and most kinds sold steadily at full prices. Fine barley was scarce, and quite as dear as in the previous week. Other articles ruled about stationary. Throughout the Continent wheat has rather given way in price. Spring corn, however, has continued to realise extreme rates. In the United States very little is doing for shipment to England. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 9,377 quarters of wheat, 4,351 barley, 23,575 oats, 10 beans, 40 peas, 101 tares, 50 mustard seed, 45 sundry seeds, and 2,683 sacks of flour. _ . Only a moderate supply of wheat came fresh to hand this morning from Essex, and, compared with Monday last, the receipts from Kent were very limited. Owing to the small show of samples the factors were very firm in their demands, and, on the whole, the trade ruled firm. A few very fine samples were considered the turn dearer, and the value of other kinds was well supported. The supply was disposed of without difficulty. Thero was rather an extensive supply of foreign wheat on the stands. Although the transactions in all kinds were only moderate, prici generally were supported. In floating cargoes of grain only limited transactions were reported. Fine barley—both English and foreign—was scarce, and in request, at very full prices. Low and damp parcels moved off slowly, at late rates. We had a fair inquiry for malt, at last week's quotations Although the supply of oats was seasonably large, the oat trade ruled firm, at very full prices, to a slight advance for fine samples. Beans were firm in price, but the business doing in them was only moderate. Peas realised full prices, with a fair demand. There was a fair inquiry for flour, the prices of which were well supported.

There. was a fair average supply of foreign stock here to-day, and we observed a slight improvement in its general quality. Compared with Monday last, there was a falling off in the show of English bA..4., was by no means first-rate. On the whole, the beef trade ruled steady, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. A few very superior lots realised ss; but the general top figure for beef was 4s 10d per Blbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received about 2,000 short horns ; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds; from Ireland, 1,050 oxen, &c. ; and from Scotland, 200 Scots. Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was only mode rate, and that the weather was favourable for slaughtering, the mutton trade was in a most inactive state, and in most transactions prices gave way 2d per Blbs. The top quota tion for Downs was 4s 10d per Blbs. We were but moderately supplied with calves ; neverthe less, the veal trade was in a sluggish state, at Thursday's currency.

ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT.-MARTIN V. ILYETT. This was a suit for obtaining a declaration of dissolution of a company formed by the plaintiff and defendant for carrying out what they considered a new invention and improvement in railway signals. The plaintiff considered the invention of great value and importance to the public, and the defendant now thought it worthless and of no value. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, declared the com pany dissolved from the date of notice by the plaintiff to the defendant, and recommended the parties to agree toge ther as to the value of their respective shares without taking a reference to chambers ; and in order to save ex pense of taxing the account, his Honour fixed the costs to be paid by the defendant to the plaintiff at £3O. COURT FOR DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES. (Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Special Jury.) MARCHMONT V. MARCHMONT. This extraordinary case which is a suit instituted by Mrs. Marchmont, a lady who at the time of her marriage was possessed of property to the extent of £.50,000 against her husband for a judicial separation on the ground of cruelty, which was partly heard on Saturday, was resumed this morning. A report of the opening and evidence on Saturday when Mrs. Marchmont was under an examination in chief for four hour•, appears in another portion of our columns. The plaintiff was cross-examined at great length as to constant petty annoyances towards her husband—such as refusing him candles to read by. The cross-examination was continuing at the time of going to press, and will occupy the greater portion of the day, and the case will not, it is expected, be over to-mor row. SHERIFFS' COURT. SECRETS OF TRADE-SAMPLES AND GOODS-PAVNE V. SMITII. Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, appeared for the defen dant. This was a now trial, plaintiff having obtained a verdict for an amount in consequence of defendant's ab sence. Mr. Beard stated that, on the occasion of the first trial, defended had pleaded a set-off, but thinking that he need not attend to prove it, the verdict went against him. He was now prepared to prove his set-off. Part of the set off was for commission. Defendant deposed that plaintiff, a perfumer. ao.r.oa ataench..c a commission or per cent. on all orders introduced by him (defendant). Defendant introduced a customer, whO gave an order for £9 worth of goods, and upon that defendant claimed 18s. commission. Plaintiff—But, your Honour must be told that this was not an order, but merely samples. Mr. Beard—No matter; were you not paid for the goods, whether samples or orders ? Plaintiff—But it is not usual to pay commission on sam ples. Besides, this was a most expensive affair, and this £9 worth of samples cost me nearly £4O. His Honour—What ! Mr. Beard—Oh, it's one of the secrets of trade, and a draw for orders. (Laughter.) . Evidence having been given that it was usual to pay commission when samples are charged for, his Honour gave defendant a verdict, with costs. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT (This Day.) The November sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor (D. W. Wire, Esq.), the Recorder, Aldermen Sir F. G Moon, Lawrence, Cubitt, Alderman and Sheriff Hale, Sheriff Conder, and the Undersheriffs, Messrs. Jones and Surr. The Recorder said, in charging the grand jury, A con siderable number of cases would be brought before them, but, when the length of time since they had last met was considered, there was not any extraordinary increase. There was one case of wilful murder to be tried, but, as the grand jury of last sessions had returned a true bill in that case, the present jury would not be troubled with it; and it was matter of gratification that the present calendar did not contain a single charge of wilful murder. There was a charge of manslaughter against a person named William Brown, who, according to the evidence to be laid before them, had, after some difference with a fellow-werkman taken up an iron instrument and struck him a blow, shortly offer which ho died. It appears that the prisoner, previous to striking the blow, had been subjected to great provocation, and this circumstance reduced the charge to one of manslaughter, so it would be for the grand jury to say whether the blow caused the death of the unfortunate man, and whether the prisoner struck that blow. If they were satisfied that such was the case, then it would be their duty to return a true bill against him. There were two other cases of offences against the person ; one was a charge of shooting, and the other stabbing with intent, &c. It was much to be regretted that this kind of offence prevailed even to the slightest extent ; but it was satisfactory to find that these cases were on the decrease. These were the worst charges in the calendar, and the evidence that would be laid before them would enable them to form a clear opinion as to the intention of the persons inflicting the injuries. There were other indictments of great im portance in this commercial country, one of which was that against a person named Goltz, who was charged with appropriating to his own purposes certain bills of lading, which had been entrusted to him for the purpose of sale, and two others against a William Oliver for forgery and for appropriating certain shares sent to him to invest. There were other cases to which he thought it his duty to refer, as they were not common here, namely the procuring the engraving of a certain plate representing a note current in a foreign country, and they would have to say whether the evidence that would be laid before them was sufficient to put the parties so charged on their trial. The last case he need refer to was that of William Roper, who was indicted for arson, and also for attempting to obtain money from a fire office by false pretences. The evidence was to the effect that after a fire had occurred at the premises occupied by the prisoner at Greenwich, during which two of his children lost their lives, he sent in his claim to the office in which his property was insured, for the value of his policy. In the claim so sent in, it would be proved that many articles were there charged for which were not destroyed, which the prisoner well knew, and others enumerated which were not on the premises. It ought to be generally known that a person making a false representation to a fire office not only voided all benefits to be derived, but rendered himself subject to the criminal law With respect to the charge of arson the Grand Jury would have to determine whether the fire was accidentally caused or not, and if they were satisfied there was evidence enough to put the prisoner on his trial, it would be their duty to return a true bill against him. He did not know that there was anything which would occasion the slightest difficulty, but in the event of the assistance of the court being required, it would 13,1 most willingly given. The grand jury then retired to their room. THE FATAL FIRE AT GREENWICH. Mr. Robertson applied, on the part of Richard Roper, for the postponement of the trial till next sessions. The de positions were of immense length, and he had had them in his possession so short a time that he had scarcely had time to read them through. Mr. Bodkin, said it was his du t y , appearing as he did for the prosecution, to prefer the bill this session, but he had no objection to the postponement of the bill till the 'text The Recorder said, such being the case the trial of the prisoner could stand over. OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES. A man, aged 33, named Reede, was indicted for obtaining two gold watches by false pretences. The prisoner made an application for the postponemnt of his trial till neat session, as he was suffering from severe illness. The Recorder—The trial was postpoued last seseion for the ooze owe. Is the surgeon of the gaol present; Mr. Gibson—l am here, my lord. The Recorder—Have you been attending the prisoner? Mr. Gibson—Yes, my lord. The Recorder—ls is illness real or assumed ? Mr. Gibson—l have no doubt a great deal of it is as- sum ed. Prisoner—l protest against the treatment of this person. He has treated we wrongly. I am afflicted with spitting blood, and he has been giving me aperient medicine. Mr. Gibson—Two other medical gentlemen have seen the prisoner, and it is their opinion, as well as that of th governor of Newgate (Mr. Weatherhead) that the prisoner is shamming a great deal. The prisoner—lt is untrue. The Recorder—l think the trial ought to be proceeded with. Mr. Robinson, who appeared for the prosecution, then called the following witnesses. Mr. William Gardener said—l am a jeweller ; I resided in Oxford-street. On the 14th of April the prisoner en tered my shop and said he wished to purchase a good watch, as it was of great importance that he, being a professor of chemistry to the university (pointing in the direction of the London Univeisity in Gower-street), should possess such an article. I showed him one, and he said it must be made to resist 110 degrees of heat. I told him I would make it to resist 96 degrees, and he then left the shop and kept calling up to May, when he asked me to let him carry the watch for a couple of hours, in order to see whether it per formed satisfactorily. Ilet him have it as he told me he bankeil at " Claude Scott's," and that he was a professor at the University. He never returned with it. He also had a chain with the watch. He threw me off my guard by pull ing out a cheque-book, and offering to write me a cheque for £36, which he said he would give me for a picture which was hanging up in the shop. I should not have let him leave the shop with my property, if I had not believed that he was the person he represented himself to be. A clerk in Sir C. Scott's bank proved that the prisoner had no funds deposited there. Police-constable 373 A stated that when he took the pri soner into custody, he said he had the watch, but he had sold it. The jury found the prisener guilty, and The Recorder sentenced him to 18 months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENVE.( This _Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN MONEY BY FALSE PRE TENCES AT ST. GEORGE'S BARRACKS.—DanieI Speer, a labouring man, was charged by Horaford, the chief con stable of the Mendicity Society, with attempting to obtain money by false pretences at St. George's Barracks, Char ing -cross. Thore were several charges against him, but only one was gone into. Sergeant John Burnett, of the Ist battalion of the Cold stream Guards, said that on Friday night last a letter was handed to him by a drummer. Ho read the letter, which purported to come from a person named Brown, formerly a corporal in the Bth company, Ist battalion of the Cold stream Gaards, stating that he was very ill, having met with an accident by hot metal, and that he was in great distress. He went out, saw the prisoner, who said he had brought the letter, and told him to call again the next night, while he then wrote to Brown, and on the prisoner coming again the next night, according to appointment, bringing with him another letter purporting to come from Brown, he put several questions to him, asked him how Brown was, to which he said " that he was a little better." While talking to him, Brown arrived in a perfect state of health. Vim. Brown, formerly a corporal of the Ist battalion of Coldtsream Guards, but now a pewterer in the Blackfriars road, and whose appearance was certainly not that of a sick man, or one in distress, said he knew nothing of the letters produced. They were not in his handwriting, and he knew nothing whatever of the prisoner. He had never seen him before. Horsford said he had obtained money from the quarter master and the sergeant-major also. Mr. Beadon said thero was no necessity to go into other cases, and committed the prisoner to three months with haul labour. frr.RONGS OF BRITISH SUBJECTS IN MEXICO. The following correspondence has passed between the Chamber of Commerce and the Earl of 31almes bury, Foreign Secretary : _ _ _ " Manchester Chamber of Commerce, Nov. 13. " My Loril,—in the month of July last, an ur gent representation was addressed to your lordship by this chamber, adverting to sertain grievous out rages which had been committed against th, , pci auns and property of British subjects residing in Mexico, and praying for the interference of her Majesty's Government in behalf of the sufferers. Those representations met with immediate atten tion at your lordship's hands, and I avail myself of this opportunity to convey to you the marked thanks of this chamber for the energetic course which you then adopted, and which has been at tended with the most satisfactory results—com plete restitution having since been made to those persons on whose behalf your lordship's aid was then specially invoked. " Unhappily, however, it again becomes my duty to direct your lordship's attention to the perilous condition of British interests in that destructive country, there being no longer any security for life or property for a single hour, the Republic of Mexico now, more than ever, having become the prey of conflicting factions to such an extent that anarchy . prevails on all sides, and exactions of the most grievous nature are levied upon British sub jects, without even the apparent sanction of any Government de facto or de jure ; in addition to which they are exposed to the greatest personal indignities, being cast into prison, or compelled to serve in the ranks of any military force which may happen to be in command at the place of their abode, until they have complied with the arbitrary demands made upon them. Several such cases have been brought to the notice of this chamber, and, I doubt not that similar details have already reached your lordship through other chan nels. I therefore, forbear to enter into the par ticulars of them. But I would earnestly entreat, on behalf of the members of this chamber, who are deeply interested, as well as for the sake of com mon justice, that your lordship will promptly ex ercise the influence of her Majesty's Government in procuring redress and restitution ; and I would further respectfully suggest that, inasmuch as in Mexico we are dealing with a lawless people, where force alone commands respect, the im mediate presence of a ship of war at Tampico, Vera Cruz, and Manzanillo, respectively, would have the effect of deterring the Mexicans from the perpetration of such outrages ; while, at the same time, it would go far to re-assure our fellow•sub jects located in that cuontry in the pursuit of their lawful occ apat ions. I" I have the honour to be, 8:c. " EDMUND POTTER, Vice-President. " To the Earl of Malmesbury." " Foreign-office, Nov. 170858. " Sir—l am directed by the Earl of Malmes bury to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 13th inst., calling attention, on behalf of the Man chester Chamber of Commerce, to the grievances inflicted on British subjects in Mexico, and lam to state to you in reply, that her Majesty's Go vernment have long witnessed with indignation and regret the violence and extortion of every kind of which British subjects in Mexico have so much reason to complain, and which they suffer indis criminately at the hands of all parties, whether acting in behalf of or against the Government established in the capital. "Her Majesty's Minister in Mexico is using the utmost exertions to obtain relief for her Majesty's subjects, and the attention of her Majesty's Govern ment is constantly directed to the same object. But the state of anarchy and the weakness of the Government in Mexico render it almost impossible to obtain redress for wrongs inflicted or to secure protection against the violence of the contending parties, the executive being powerless, though wil ling to afford it.—l am, sir, &c., "G.

DEsL,Nouday Algagn• Wind E, by S I moc* SPORTING NOTES. TRYING BACK. I do not regret that an unexpected visit, which I was compelled to pay to Paris, prevented my addressing the readers of The Sun prior to the Shrewsbury meeting. My anticipations of the sport would have been realised in one respect only —the comparative largeness of the fields and the abundance of the racing. So far as the "probable results" were concerned, I should have been egre giously mistaken, for animals which I deemed "well in" certain races were scratched, and alto gether I should have been at fault in nearly every instance. The candour with which I make this confession, will, perhaps, induce the reader to forget the disappointment which he experienced at not seeing my customary remarks. Mr. Frail achieved, as usual, a great success at Shrewsbury, and I perceive that he dealt rigorously with certain refractory jockeys. The fines, however, which he exacted, are, it is said, not to be contributed to the Bentinck Benevolent Fund, and this circumstance has created some annoyance amongst persons who wish prosperity to an insti tution which receives so little support from a class of people whom it is intended to assist. Many letters have been received by me relative to the time certain horses were struck out ; and in answer to my numerous correspondents I may state that, with regard to Mr. 'Merry's horses, no declara tion whatever was made, and I believe that many animals that were backed by the public were not scratched at all, but were allowed to " remain in" to the last. Mr. Frail is likely to have as many letters to answer relative to declarations of forfeit at his meeting as will give a week's employment to his amanuensis and secretary. All persons are agreed on the great success which attended the season, which was brought to a close with unquestionable eclat at Shrews bury. The good things of the year seem to have been equally distributed between the patrician and plebeian followers of the turf, and, as it has been elsewhere' remarked, the racing proceedings of 1858 have been more free from abuses and instances of chicanery than in any preceding years. All our great races have, with few exceptions, fallen to the " upper ten thousand." A French count won two important handicaps in the spring ; a baronet won the Two Thousand Derby ; a Sussex squire carried off the One Thousand and Oaks ; a viscount obtained the Liverpool Cup and Goodwood Stakes ; a northern baronet won the Chester Cup ; and a Scotch capitalist placed a Goodwood Cup upon his sideboard, and had a St. Leger Stakes to repay his training expenses. The racing sports of 1858 have therefore not fallen exclusively to professional betting men or those persons who enter into turf pursuits exclusively for the gain of lucre. America, France, and Russia have sent horses to take part in our races, and this fact, and the success which has attended them, indicates that foreigners, at least, are imbued with the 'idea that our sports are regulated by principles of fair play and honest dealing. This notion is un qestionably correct, for whatever its detractors may, in their ignorance, allege against the sport, no pastime, which at times really holds out induce ments for scheming adventurers to'act dishonestly, is conducted with such a scrupulous regard to the dictates of honour and fair dealing. The prompt ness with which betting liabilities,. are dis charged has no parallel—not even in that region of legitimate speculation, the Stock Exchange. Lord Derby, at the Mansion-house, preached a homily on reckless speculation, and those young men who have just come fresh on the turf, who are forming large studs and who, with caution, may render the turf a not unremunerativo amusempnt du well to Dnal _ der his - words, and reflect upon his arguments, for Lord Derby's advice may be appropriately re ceived by the sporting as by the commercial man. On reviewing the past season, the success which attended the New market meetings is at once appa rent, and it is evident that the metropolis of the turf, both as a training quarter and a place of sport, has regained that reputation and popularity of which competition had at one time deprived it. This reflection must be gratifying to the genuine turfits, for at Newmarket only can racing be seen to perfection, and at Newmarket only is the sport conducted with a studied regularity and pro moted for legitimate purposes. The Jockey Club, however, treat the reporters very scurvily ; they exclude them from the weighing-room, and deprive them of all facilities for obtaining information or for transacting business. "The reason why" is somewhat difficult to ascertain, for it cannot assuredly be a desire to keep the public in igno rance of the real character of the proceedings on the heath. Before bringing these desultory thoughts on the past season to an end, I shall be acquitted of all egotism, if I refer to the extraordinary suc cess which has, throughout the racing season, at tended my racing vaticinations, and to what I may call the " well-timedness " of my comments on abuses which required to be removed, or grievances which called for regress. I have the satisfaction of knowing that my remarks, dictated as they were by a desire to promote the well-being of the turf, and all classes of racing men, were always received with attention, and considered with favour in the quarters they were intended to influence. Steeplechases now occupy the attention of one sec tion of the racing community, whilst the other de votes itself to the hunting field or the coursing ground. A little meeting, which promises to afford at least a pleasant day's amusement, will take place at Croydon to-morrow. The principal event will bring out a goodly field, and those persons who require excitement and wish to have a pleasant day out, cannot do better than betake themselves to the West Croydon Railway station. The ground is in capital condition, Barnard's stand will be erected, and nothing that can promote the com fort of the visitors will be neglected. A FRESH MAN. Chester Spring Meeting, 1859, will take place on the 3d of May. Birmingham Steeplechases are fixed for the 23d of March. CROI Croydon Stoeplechasc.
