The demand for English wheat was very dull, and as many of the samples arrived in bad condition, owing to the bad weather, a decline of is had to bo sub mitted to in order to efftct sales. Foreign was only in retail demand at a similar decline. Wheat could be bought for Cd per qr. less money. Barley, owing to heavy arrivals of foreign, was also cheaper.

LOWESTOFT, Jan. 29. Mr. John Henderson, the chief officer of Coast guard at Lowestoft, reports that the brig Queen of the Tyne was wrecked early this mottling on the Corton Sand, off the Suffolk coast. The crew of eight men were, happily, saved from the wreck, through the instrumentality of the lifeboat Letitia, stationed at Lowestoft. When the boat reached the sand before daylight the vessel was found on her beam ends ; and, as far as can be ascertained from the men's bailing, the crew had taken refuge in the weather main rigging. From the posit ion in which the vessel lay it was a work of great risk to board her, she being on the most dangerous part of the sand, and the sea being very heavy. However, the rescue was safely and nobly accomplished, the men being taken into the boat from the maintop gallant yard, which at times it was feared would have gone through the boat, as she and the vessel rose and fell together. It was a most narrow escape for the poor shipwrecked men, for they would pro bably all have been lost as the flood tide made had not the lifeboat gone out to them so promptly. The cost of this valuable lifeboat was presented a short time ago to the National Lifeboat Institu tion by a lady, through Mrs. Pilgrim and Miss Prince, of Brixham. The vessel belonged to Shields, and was bound from that Fort to London with casks. The Bank Returns.

This case Cams on to-day before Mr. Claude, the chief clerk, on a very novel application made on the part of Lord Brougham. It was to the effect that his lordship might be permitted to "break up" the manuscript on which the defendant claimed a lien for literary assistance with the view to th 3 publication of "The Life and Timas of the Late Lord Brougham." The chief clerk referred the matter to the Master of the There is also an application referred to Lord Romilly as to the mode of o,timating the remuneration to he given to Dr. C.luvin, and both will probably come in Chambers before his lordship on Wednesday next. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Hia}•os.) IN ILE lIAYNES-MADANIE RACHEL. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Hance, said—l appear on behalf of Mr. Haynes, an attorney of this court to show cause against a rule which was made re turnable peremptorily on Saturday, calling upon that geneeman to show cause why he should not answer the matters contained in an affidavit filed by a person named Leverson, who was tried and convicted two or three sessions agp at the Old Bailey of having obtained large sums of money by false and fraudulent pretences. Mr. Justice Blackburn—Yon cannot show cause why you should not show cause. The rule is that you must answer.—Mr. Hawkins: The reason why ' I commenced my statement -in that way is that I submit in the first place that tho statements made in the affi davit by this woman, who has been for a considerable Ohne trading under the name of Madame Rachel are false, and that she is not to be be lieved upon her oath. lam able to show by the state ments contained in Mr. Haynes's affidavit that he has a perfect answer to the unfounded charges that have been made against him. Mr. Justice Blackburn : That may be so. But by the practice of this court—the court hav ing thought fit to grant the rule—he must answer the matters of the affidavit, and not show cause why he should not answer them. This is not showing cause. —Mr. Hawkins: The answer I give on behalf of Mr. Haynes to Madame Rachel's affidavit is that it is untrue. It le false upon the face of it ; and with regard to the other parts which affect Mr. Haynes, and which are within his knowledge, he has a perfect answer to them, subject to any statement your lordship may be pleased to make with reference to the lengthy accounts in volved in the matter.— Mr.Justiceßlackburn : The best way will be to refer the matters to the Master of this court, with the fullest powers to take evidence. He can have the accounts laid before the Court of Chancery, and supple ment them with any evidence he might think it right to call. Mr. Hawkins—l cheerfully assent to that on behalf of Mr. Haynes. Referred to the Master accordingly. CRIMLVAL COUR7—(This day). The sessions commenced this morning. The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, referred at length to the Overend and Gurney indictment, and said he was quite sure they would fully and calmly consider the matter, in deciding whether there was a pinta facie case made out against the defendants. Berbert Mortimer p!eaded guilty to an indictment charg ing km with burglary. 'rho Recorder asked if anything was known relative to the prisoner. The Inspector sail the prisoner gave himself up for the burglary, stating as his reason that he whited to be taken out of the streets. lie had formerly been in prison, but whilu he was undergoing,his sentence he Irtd to work on the treadmill, when au accident caused the maell'ne by which the prisoner was thrown down on it, and before he could be rescued both his legs were broken. Ile was taken to thu infirmary, and on his recovery ho was sent to Harwich for about nine weeks, receiving also £5 as compensation for the injury received. The money had been spent and the burglary was committed. The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' im prisonment with hard labour. Josiah Sharp, a " swell," pleaded guilty to a charge of bigamy. The counsel for the prosecution said the prisoner had acted with greatest cruelty towards his fir:t wife. After having squandered the money she brought him on their marriage ho increased his ill-treatment, and ultimately left her because she could neither play, sing, nor dance. (Laughter.) Ho had not conducted himself well even to his second wife, and the learned gentleman said ho had letters from both wives describing the prisoner as a con summate scoundrel. (Laughter.) The Recorder—lt appears that he was lhiug with the first wife after he had married the second. It was a most profligate case, and he therefore sentenced the prisoner to 18 mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGEIVCE—This Day. COJIREBYONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNDAY, January 31. Six chamberlains figured in M. Rouher's unhappy ma jority in the division on the interpellatiou respecting the Interior. But for the aid of these functionaries, and the absence of one or two of the Opposition, the Government would have been absolutely defeated. I have every reason to believe that this unfortunate affair is regarded by the Emperor as M. Rouher's greatest blunder. The Minister of State is something more than able man—he is, in his way a man of genius, but the genius is not of the highest order. He does not always estimate his own power at its proper worth, and he is especially liable to the fatal vice in a Minister of attempting too much. He does not practise to a sufficient ex tent the invaluable art of allowing the Cpposition to win in small matters, that the Government may always come off triumphant in great ones. In this case there was not the slightest ground for his interference. Every inter pellation must be submitted to one of the standing com mittees or bureaux, of which four must approve the " question" or it cannot be put. Now, in this case three bureaux decided in favour of the iuterpellation, four against it, and in two the votes were equally divided. How were the divided committees to be ranked, for or against the interpellation? No distinct provision is made for these cases, but, as I have before said, the pre sumption is very greatly in favour of the view that the two divided committees ought to have decided in favour of acceptance. Estimating the question on the most liberal basis, and taking a divided vote as equivalent to half a confirmatory one, it is clear that two divided com mittees are equal to one committee in favour of the interpellation. This is a very mathematical way of determining the difficulty, but there is really none other. The Opposition have quite as much right to claim a divided bureau as the Government. In any event, there was nothing to justify M. Rouher's violent opposition or his forced interpretation of the law. His assertion that the interpellation must be confirmed by the majority, and that equal voting is therefore a mino rity, cuts both ways. Divorce cases in high life are very common in France just now. M. Pinard, the late Minister of the Interior, is about to plead in a suit brought by the Baronne Duport against her husband. Baron Duport is an Italian gentleman, and his wife, a handsome lady, belongs to one of the richest families in France. After twelve years of domestic happiness, some Mephistopheles has contrived to raise a scandal which has destroyed the peace of both, and which will end in a mournful drama of private life being unfolded in the Divorce Court. The French often rail at English newspaper reports ; but it does not seem to me that they have any ground forboasting; rather the reverse. An Overend, Gurney, and Co. case on a small scale— very small compared with your stupendous trial, has been decided in the Imperial Coart. Three shareholders, hold ing stock to the amount of from £1,200 to £2,300, brought an action against the directors of th Madrid and Sara gossa Railway, with the view of having their shares de clared null and void. Their fundamental plea was that they bad been induced to take the shares by the false repre sentations made in the annual repoq of the board, and by the payment of a fictitious dividend, which for several years amounted to as much as 9 per cent, on the price of issue. The consequence of this flagitious but by no means uncommon proceeding was, that the shares of the company rose during the golden period to a price nearly double that at which they were issued. The usual result followed : the directors of the company availed themselves of this high price to sell out all their own shares before inevitable exposure came. The fact that they had so sold out became known, and the collapse came at once. The quotations fell to less than one-tenth of the figure to which they had been fraudulently puffed up, and the shares became wholly unsaleable. The defendants urged, iu the first place, that a French court could not try the case, as the scat of the company was at Madrid—though the directors were half of them Frenchmen. But the Imperial Court determined that it could be tried in France, before the Tribunal of Commerce. It was next pleaded that the indictment was laid against only five directors, whereas the board consisted of twenty, but this point also was given in favour of the prosecution. The actual trial will commence in a few days. A racy story, involving matters of less magnitude, but not less curious than your great trial, may be expected. THE WEATHER TABLE.-THIS DAY. _-.____ BILTLOL 01.0 Cie). L PT TORTS. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SIIOEBLACKS AND THE PUBLIC.—Four dirty-looking fellows, named Flynn, Haddock, Cummins, and Ryan, were charged before Blansti,ld with cattAng an obAruc tion with th , irboxes in Compton-street, Soho. Sergeant Jeffrey, 21 C, proved seeing the prisoners in Compton-street yesterday morning. along with several others, causing such au obstruction with their boxes that persons passing had to walk in the road to avoid them, and he then took the prisoners into custody, the others running away. Some of the persons connected with the parish were here to speak of the nuisance they suffered from the prisoners and their companions. Mr. Joseph Purkes, publisher, of No. 60, Dean-street, Soho, said that he experienced great annoyance every Sun day from the shooblacks, who collected in front of his shop —there generally being about ten of them there, with their boxes, every Sunday morning. Ile had cautioned them several times, but they took no notice, and were in the habit of placing their boxes close against his shop, and the persons who had their boots cleaned bumped against his shutters. In answer to Mr. Mansfield, Mr. Purkes said that he had frequently seen the pri soners engaged there. _ _ Mr. Mao field told the prisoners that they wero charged with blocking up the footpath and compelling persons to go into the road. Mr. Purkes said he endured the nusiance for two years. Mr. Mansfield asked if all the lads were as dirty rs the prisoner, and on being answered in the affirmative, said that that was a nuies.uce in itself to have to go along the footpath and push against such persons. Mr. Aylett, of the Admiral Duncan Tavern, Compton street, was also present to speak of the nuisance. Mr. Mansfield said the prisoners had been locked up 20 hours, which served them right. If the prisoners came again they would be severely punished. Ho hoped the imprisonment they had undergone would have the effect of teaching them to have some little consideration for per sons walking along the footpath, and compel them to go into the road. WESTMINSTER. A PAUPER'S WARDROBE. —John Day, a young man, was charged with destroying bis clothes in St. Margaret's and St...fohn's Workhouse, Westminster. Thomas Waterman, labour -master at the workhouse, said that the defendant was admitted on Saturday night, and had supper, bed, and breakfast. He found him yester day morning in bed, and enquired what he was doing there and why he did not get up, when he replied that he could not get up because he had no clothes. He said he had torn them up. Defendant, whose style of dress was not of the most fashionable order, complainel that he did not like it. Mr. Selfe--What don't you like? Defendant—My boots. Mr. Selfe—What's the matter with them? . Defendant—Look here, your worship (exhibiting one of them), is this the proper pair of boots for a man? Mr. Selfe—Not good enough for you ? Defendant—No ; and don't fit. Mr. Selfe—You would like the parish to supply you with new boots ? Defendant—l don't think these are good enough. Mr. Selfe—You would like them made of the best leather, with spring sides ? Waterman—He and another man both destroyed their boots and other clothing. They were found others, but the difficulty was to suit their taste. He could " fit their feet, but not their eyes." Mr. Selfe—Well, eyes are rather odd things to fit with boots. Defendant, if you levy contributions in this way upon the public you must pay for it. You are committed for 14 days' to hard labour. Another man had the same punishment. THAMES. SUNDAY GAMBLING IN TILE PUBLIC STKERTS.—Six boys, named John Rimers, Michael Freeman, Cornelius Shea, Samuel Burke, William Bury, and James Callaghan, the sons of Irish parents, wore brought before Mr. Benson charged with gambling with halfpence yesterday, along side the Rev. Mr. Black's Chapa (Particular Baptists), in Mill-yard, Whitechapel, and in St. George's-court and NV illiatn-street, St. George -in-the-East. Rimers, a tall fellow, is about 18 years of age, and the others were from nine to 15 years:of age. Rimers came out as well with a capital, for there was a florin, a sixpence, and Did. iu halfpence found upon him by Polico-sergeaut Dougan, No. 2 II 11, who said " the youth" was ono of the greatest blackguards he ever met with, aid that his language was disgusting and ruffianly. All the ether prisoners were very wicked boys, and they managed to pass the halfpence they had tipeat tht in to their various parents on the way to the station-house. Inspector Holloway of the 1t division, said that a peti tion had been sent to the Commissioners of Police by the inhabitants of the district complaining of the pitch-and toss nuisance on Sundays. Mr. Benson said the Legislature enacted that every per son playing at pitch and toss should be ituplisoned and kept to hard labour for aLy period nut exceeding three calendar months. Re had been warning youths for the last two mouths without effect. Ile should now begin to put the law in force. Ile sentenced the prisoners to seven days' imprisonment with hard labour, and if that did not succeed in stopping the rest he should Mei ease the punish ment. E streme Sea hfontlay, 1 t Feb. 1, B.

Temperature had increased considerably on Sunday since which time not much change has occurred. During Saturday hard south-wesetrly gales blew on all our coasts, being heaviest in the S. and W. Yesterday the wind subsided in the north, where it is still calm ; but at southern stations and in the west of France a hard S.W. ga'e is still blowing. Rain has been very general, with thunder and hail at some southern stations. The sky this morning's cloudy, with rain in places, and the weather very unsettled. The sea is rather high in the Channel. Warnings repeated. THE GALE. -~- GREAT DISASTERS IN THE WEST OF ENGLAND. CENTRAL PRESS, Monday Morning. The Western Morning Dees of this morning contains accounts of terrible disasters caused by the great gale of yesterday morning. There was a fearful deluge of rain, accompanied by the most appalling lightning and thunder. The tide in Plymouth and other ports of Devon and Cornwall was the highest known for thirty years. A considerable portion of Plymouth - which especially through Union-street, the long street connecting the three towns of Plymouth, Stonehouse, and Devonport, lies low—was com pletely inundated, and one of the Royal Marines was unhappily drowned. In other towns the streets were con verted into deep rivers by the unparalleled rain. The inmates bad to leave their houses in boats, and there were some most exciting scenes owing to the narrow escapes from drowning. The shipping in Plymouth Sound rode out the gale in safety, thanks to the Breakwater, although at the latter end of last week a portion of the wall of the Great Western Docks was washed away. At Falmouth several collisions took place among the large fleet of merchant vessels which crowded the harbour. The French brig Charles Emma sank ; the crew were, fortu nately, saved. The barque Aldivalloch, of Sunderland, also foundered, and the crew in this instance, too, were saved. At Penzance, noted for its tremendous seas, the scene was terrific, the great rollers from the Channel charging up over the sands of Mount's Bay in a manner frightfully grand. The ship Choice, of South Shields, went ashore on the Praa Sands at one o'clock in the morning. The master; the second mate, and one seaman Were drowned ; eight men were saved by the use of rocket lines brought from Porthleven and Prussia Cove. The lifeboat was brought from a distance of ten miles in an hour and three quarters after the news of the wreck had been received at the station. The boat put off again at seven a.m, after having been out all night. The schooner Padaran, of Abersthirsk, went down off the Start, and all hands were lost. The railways and telegraphs have suffered severely. Two hundred yards of the long wooden viaduct of the West Cornwall Railway, which skirts Mount's Bay between Marazion and Penzance, have been washed away, and the trains are unable to enter the town. This same viaduct was destroyed several y ears ago. The South Devon Railway has been greatly injured, and for a long where it runs across the di s t anc e near Dawlish, alds at the foot of the lofty red-sandstone cliffs, the line has been washel away, as it was during the " Royal Charter" gale. Traffic between Exeter and Plymouth is thus completely cut off. At Daw:ish, un- happily, one man has been killed. The Electric and Inter national Telegraph which follows the lino of railway has been either blown down by the hurricane or washed away by the sea. The United Kingdom Telegraph line, which is inland, is, however, still open, The tempest still continues 111:s 11.oril . ng„ and there is not a seaport in the two counties n' l'evou and Cornwall which has nyt sauna 6CM:CIy.

The Palmer, now the top weight of the accept ances for the Chester Cup, is likely to become a great favourite, acd his chance does not seem a forlorn one judged by his running in the Liverpool Autumn Cup. Vagabond, the feathered 3-year old, may possess abil.ties sufficient to justify the support he receive I in t he Mai len Plate at Ascot, and in that case the 3-year old will carry the cherry jac ket.. Of the top weights left in Mandrake, Goodwood, and TaLouret appear to deserve some notice, the fix st named especially being such a game, good horse, that it is always dangerous to overlook, or glance slightingly at his claims for support when opposed by handicap company. his near neighbour, King's Cross, is another animal likely to stay, and hold his own tolerably well in the company he will be called upon to encounter at Chester, but still we fancy he will be compelled to succumb to the class of two or three of those left in. IVarrington is a colt whose career has hitherto been very disappointing to his backers, but it does not follow of necessity that he will never improve on previous form, and it may be that his day has yet to come. The chances of the residue remain, Lto my fancy, unaltered. The chosen bearer of the " Kentish cherry," Paul Jones, Fairwind, Birdseeker, and Robespierre appear to possess claims superior to those of the remainder of their opponents. Sycee and Typhceus are the most trustworthy investments at present for the Lincoln shire Handicap, and the Liverpool Grand Annual Steeplechase, for the present, h a d b e tt er b e l el t alone, as there is no genuine commission in the market at present, only flash betting.
