Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited business was transacted, on rather lower terms. All spring cons raoved off slowly, at about previous rates. _ _ The value of both wheat and flour has a downward ten dency in the French markets, which continue to be well supplied with all kinds of produce. The export trade in the United States continues heavy. About average supplies of home grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 13,564 quarters of wheat, 7,840 barley, 8,454 oats, 655 beans, about 22,000 of various sorts, 1,470 sacks and 700 barrels of flour. The sapply of English wheat received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, from Essex and Kent, was very moderate, and the receipts from the various other counties were small. Notwithstanding that the show of samples, both red and white, was limited, the demand for all kinds was in a depressed state, and prices were 2s. to Ss. per quarter lower than on Monday last. At that amount of depression millers purchased cautiously. There was a full average show of good and useful, as well cs saleable, foreign wheats. Even the finest samples met a very dull inquiry, and the quotations generally gave way is to 2s per quarter. In boating cargoes of grain very little was doing. Fine malting barley supported previous rates ; but other kinds were dull, on rather lower terms—viz., is to 2s per quarter. Ist malt very little was doing, on rather lower terms. There was an unusual supply of oats iu the market. Sound parcels sold at full prices, but damp qualities were 6d cheaper. Beans ruled heavy at le per quarter less money. Peas ruled heavy at barely late rates. Flour sold slowly, and country marks were rather cheaper. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL stEASURN.

The show of foreign stock here to-day was again very limited, and its general quality was rather inferior. Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts from oar own grazing distri cts were v er y mo d erate. Th e gene ral weight and condition of most breeds, however, were tolerably good. Although the attendance of butchers was rather on the increase, the beef trade was net very brisk; nevertheless prices were 2d per 81b s hi g h er th an on thi s day se'nnight, and at which a fair clearance was effected. The best Soots sold at 4s per 81bs. The arrivals from Norf olk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 1, 560 Soots and short horns; from other parts of England 950 of various breeds ; from Scot land 550 Scots ; and from Ireland 252 oxen. With sheep we were again very scantily supplied. The salesmen almost generally, demanded higher quotations, in consequence of the shortness of the supply. In 130030 few instances a slight advance wati obtained for good and prime sheep; but we have no actual change to notice in the quotations realised on Monday last. The primest Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs. The few calves in the market were disposed of at full prices, viz., 4s 2d to 5e 2d per Blbe. We have to report a very slow inquiry for pigs, the sup ply of which was limited, at the late decline in value. Th e top quotation was 44 6d per Blbs.

ELLIS ♦. ELLIS. This was an appeal from an order of Tice-Chancellor Sir 'John Stuart, affirming the certificate of his c'aief clerk in taking accounts between the parties in ale cause. The Lord Chancellor said that he had already disposed of a great number of the objections taken to the certificate of the chief clerk in the course of the argu ments in the cause. His lordship, since the hearing, bad carefully gone over and examined a great mass of affidavits, in order to see that nothing relevant was over looked. His lordship said that he could not disturb the findings in the Vice-Chancellor's decree either upon the accounts or costs of suit. The first item which the Vice-Chancellor allowed is a sum of 4161. for the maintenance and education of the plaintiff and the other children until he attained the age of 25. His lordship thought it a reasonable and sufficient sum to be allowed at the time it was before him, but his lordship allowed the Chief Clerk to investigate into the circum stances, and he was also of opinion that that was a suitable amount. His lordship would not set aside that finding. _ _ _ With regard to the sum of 633. 55., it might have been allowed to the widow if she had not remained in the house, but his Lordship was clearly of opinion that it was properly disallowed by the chief clerk, The next item objected to, a sum of 1211., being interest on a mortgage for 54501., his Lordship was of opinion te l t it was propeey allowed by the Vice- Chancellor. • The case e be spoken to as to costs is the cause (after the reeees) on the 20th current. IN RE. DODDS. Counsel applied to his Lordship upon affidavits to be filed in the course of the day, for habeas &opus, or an order to discharge Dodds, a debtor prisoner in Jersey jail upon grounds different from those upon which a similar former applioation was made. His Lordship thought that the application should have been made to a oourtof law—the Court of Common Pleas. The counsel for the prisoner stated that the courts of common law had no power to grant a commission to take affidavits in Jersey, and the authorities there would not take the affidavits themselves, nor allow any one else to take them in the island ; that the present affi davits were sworn in London. His Lordship consented to take the affidavits, and dispose of the case to-morrow, at 12 o'clock, at his resi dence, this being the last day of term. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) IN RE PINKERTON'S !RUSTS -•PETITION 808 SUDSIIENT.I His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, having examined the original will of the testator and compared it with the official copy in reference to the periodical fluctuation, was of opinion that although the intention of the testator was not definitely expressed, and the punctuation was defective ; yet it appeared that the intention of the testator was to impose an onerous obligation for the distribution of the residue of his estate, in the respective events happening as they occurred. His Honour was of opinion that the residue of the property must be disposed of partly for the purposes of education, as directed by the will, and that the remainder must stand over to be applied to the other purposes of the trust. Costs of all parties to be paid out of the estate. ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls Sir John Rawllly.) EYANS V. EVANS. Judgment poeponed. COURT FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF CROWN CASES RESERVED. THE EOLTON MURDER. THE *WIEN ♦. AARON MELLOR-JUDOMENT. In this case Aaron Mellor was tried at the last Liver pool winter assizes, before Mr. Justice Wight/nee, for the murd( r of his wife Alice Mellor, at Dolton, Lanca shire, found guilty, and left for execution. The day atter the trial it was discovered that by mistake a jury man on the panel, earned William Thornley, answered to the name of Joseph Henry Thorn, went into the box, was sworn, and acted with the others, and it was contended that the trial was void ; and as the prisoner bad been put in peril, he could not be tried again, and ought to be discharged. Mr. Justice Wightmaureepited the prisoner, and reserved the point for the considera tion of the Court. Oa Saturday week last the case was argued before Lord Campbell, Lord Chief Justice Cock burn, the Lord Chief Baron, and eleven puiiine judges. A. point was then raised that the Court had not jurisdic tion, the point reserved by the learned judge being one of fact after the trial, and not of law on the trial, the Court being constituted alone for the consideration of points of law raised on the trial of a prisoner. The point being an important one, the Court took time to consider their judgment. This morning the 14 learned judges reassembled to deliver their judgment, when a great difference of opinion appeared to prevail. Lord Campbell first delivered his judgment. He said that after a careful and attentive consideration of the act of Parliament, the 11 and 12 V►a., chap. 7E, under which the Court was constituted, he aansi lered the Court bad jurisdiction. The mistake having been die covered during the period of the commission, and the prisoner respited by the judge who tried the case, the point relative to the swearing the wrong juryman was a point of law, and might be said to have arisen on the trial. It was necessary that a wide significance should be given to that part of the aot, and be considered the case came properly before them on a point of law instead of being raised on a writ of error. The noble and learned lord then entered into the details of the case, the authorities that bad been quoted in the course of the argument, *end quoted from " Blackstone" in reference to the constitu tion of juries, and gave it as his opinion that is this case there bad been a mis-trial, and that a !venire de !novo should issue, becase the prisoner had suffered no njory and had not been prejudiced by the first trial. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn concurred i• the court having jurisdiction in the matter that there had been a mistrial, and that a emirs de nefo should issue. No injury had been inflicted in this case by the trial, but it might have happened, and it was essential to a fair and honest trial that a prisoner should have a right of chal lenge, which be was debarred from when a juryman answered to a wrong name. A prisoner or his friends might know by name a jaryman who was hostile to him, and had a prejudice against him, whilst they might know him personally, and so do hint a great injustice from his being deprived thereby of his right of challenge. For such a case he Gould see no remedy, and he wished our criminal procedure was each that the courts could ascer tain on facts brought before them that a prisoner, by such a mistake, had or had not been prejudioed on his trial. Two serious inconveniences arose under the pre sent law—either that a guilty man might escape with impunity or an innocent man be placed at the mercy of the advisers of the Crown. The only remedy that there appeared to him to be in this case was to hold that this was a mis-trial, so that the ends of justice might not be defeated, seeing that the prisoner had not been preju diced by the trial that had taken place. Lord Chief Baron Politick said that the Court had no jurisdiction in this case, and that the proceedings should have been by writ of error. The Court bad no right to order a new trial, and he very much doubted if they did whether the prisoner could not move for a habeas corpus for his discharge, and whether they could try him again. The Court was constituted to reverse, affirm, or amend points of law decided on the trial of prisoners, and to give to the provisions of this sot the construction laid down by the learned judges who bad preceded him was far exceeding their duties, and by so doing they were usurping the duties of legislators, which it was never intended they should do. Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Wiihtman, Mr. Barer. Martin, and Mr. Baron Watson held that there had been a mis-trial, and that a venire de novo ought to issue. Mr. Justice Erle, Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Justice Crowder, Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr. Justice Willes, Mr. Justice Byles, and Mr. Baron Channell held that the conviction was good. Eight judges being of opinion that the conviction was right, and six only that there was a mis-trial, the esonvic btieoncawrraised Par eeif:ll,ec.atnd the sentence will be dire cted to The Royal S.iciety has granted a sum of money to Mr. Robert Mallet, from the Government Grant Fund to dangerous itlllPUß il ia lnss, enable that gentleman to make researches into the phe nomena of the recent earthquake in Italy.

CRIMINAL COURT.—{This Day.) The February Sessions at the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning at the Sessions House, Old Bailey, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Sir G. Carroll, the Recorder, Alderman Wire, Alderman and Sheriff Lawrence, Mr. Sheriff Allen, the Under Sheriffs, and other civic authorities. The calendar contains a list of 70 prisoners for trial, with the exception of five cases of manslaughter and two of murder, they were of the ordinary description. A. number of jurymen were fined 10/. each for non attendance. The grand jury having been sworn, The RECORDER, in delivering his charge, said that although the calendar was not heavy, he was sorry to say that five of the cases extended to manslaughter, and one to murder ; in that case two men, named Jeremiah Calligan and Patrick Murphy, were charged with the wilful murder of Henry Morgan, a police constable, and it now appeared that the occurrence arose out of a drunken row ; a person bad given Calligan into custody for an assault, and a number of persons attempted a rescue when be was in the custody of the deceased, which resulted in his receiving a blow which terminated in his death. One of the questions will be, whether there is sufficient to identify the prisoner Calligan as having inflicted the blow ; if there was sufficient evidence, no doubt the prisoner was guilty of murder, and those who were identified as having taken part in the rescue were equally liable. There appeared to have been strong evidence of the identity, and if they were of that opinion, it would be their duty to return a true bill. The next case was one in which James O'Neal, a tailor, was ()barged with feloniously assaulting John Richardson, with intent to murder him. This case also arose out of a drunken squabble, in which the prisoner seised a pair of tcngs, and struck the prosecutor several violent blows. The next case is a charge against Sarah Bennett, a married woman, for feloniously killing and slaying Mary Bennett. It appeared from the depositions, that the prisoner had been quarreling with her husband, when the deceased seemed to have interfered to protect her mother, and re , nited in her receiviog a violent blow on the head with a hammer, which caused her death. The learned Recorder having britity adverted to the other cases which would come before the grand jury, in which the master of Newington Workhouse was charged with converting the bodies of paupers under his care for anato mical purposes, said that some time since an act vra,. passed for affording facilities to medical students and surgeons for the purposes of scientific anatomical pm.- poses, but the act required that they should be the bodies of persons who had died, and who either had no friend. or were not identified. The defendant, had, it would, he believed tern out, made use of his office as master of the workholve, and used the bodies of persons who had relatives, and a sort of mock funeral took place, which was followed by the relatives ; there was he believed, no e press statute ; the ordinary cases in the books were those where bodies had been disinterred, which was an offence at common law. The principal evidence was that of a person who was in the nature of an accompice ; and it they thought the defendant had used the bodies for gain and reward he would advise the jury to return a true bill, and then the case would be considered in that court. He did not think there were any other cases requiring observation. The jury then retired. The trial of Mr. Glover, the late member for Beverley, for making an aleged false declaration as to his qualifi cation to sit in the House of Commons, is postponed till the next session., with the consent uf the Crown. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day., BOW STREET. A respectable-looking young man named Alfred Weaver, was charged by his employers, Messrs. Holder and Co., of Great Queen-street, coach ironmongers, with having embezzled various sums of money. Mr. Holder stated that the prisoner was their shop man at a salary of 244. a•week. It was his duty to sell goods acd enter the monies in a day-book ; also to pay various arna'l sums and to account weekly for all that he had received. Until lately he (the prosecutor) had no suspicion that the prisoner was in the habit of Reding goods aad omitting to eater them, but keeping back the price. On Friday, the 22d inst., this suspicion was aroused by a person bringing back to exchange a lamp which he said he had purchased for Ss. a few weeks before. It was a very unusual circumstance for a carriage lamp to be sold singly, and he mt..; unable to recollect such an entry, which ho must have noticed if it bad appeared in the book. To make sure, he examined the book, and finding no each entry, spoke to the pri soner, who said he remembered the sale, but could not account for the fact that the entry was omitted—he thought he had entered it. Oa further inquiry ho found that the fellow-lamp bad been purchased by the Fame person, in Dec., for Ss. dd., and had not been entered. He mentioned this to the prisoner, who made the same reply—that he thought he had entered it. On this be gave him into custody. The case was adjourned for inquiry into other alleged defalcations.

DISEMBARKATION OF ELEPHANTS AT CALCUTTA FROM BURMAII. CALCU . TTA, DEC. 24. Two cargoes of elephants from Burrneh have been landed at Calcutta since the last mail left. One arrived in the ship Tubal Cain, consisting of 20 elephant s; th e other in the Belgravia, and numbered 50 elephants. The process of hoisting these most gigantic of existing quadrupeds from their berths on board ship, and gettin g them on shore, was a novel and curious eight. Th arrival of the elephants was mentioned in the newspapers, and many persops were attracted to witness their disembarkation. The Governor-General and Lady Canning were among the visitors, and many of the Government officials, officers of the garrison, and others, attended while the lauding was in progress. It took place at the Government dockyard, about half smile below Fort William. Strange to say, there is no wharf at this dockyard alongside of which the vessels could be brought, so that thei had to be moored about 50 yards off from the shore. They were, however brought near a jetty, at the extremity of which is a large crane, and by means of this crane, and the tackle on board ship, all the elephants veer safely landed. The first patty in the Tubal Cain were lauded in a somewhat different manner from the other in the Belgravia. When the animals were hoisted up from between decks, the hoisting tackle was connected with the crane chains, and the crane being then turned slowly round, each ele phant in succession was lowered and deposited on the bank of the river. This plan gave too much. liberty te the elephants alter reaching terra firma; for, as some of them chose to indulge in a roll an& bath in the shallow water after their voyage, time was lost before the drivers could manage to lead them away. It was therefore found more conve nient and expeditious to lower each el phant into a barge alongside the ship, and to land him afterwards by drawing the boat the short distance to the shore. The fifty elephants in the Belgravia were all brought between decks, part on the main deck, and the remainder iu the orlop deck below. Not many vessels would have the necessary height be tween decks—from eight to ten feet ; and there was only just space enough in the Belgravia for the larger animals to stand upright without touching the tint bore of the deck above. The elephants were ranged on each side of the ship, strong beams being placed so as to confine them from rolling towards the centre while the ship was in motion. Every thing was left as open as possible for purposes of ventilation, but yet the congregation of so many large animals caused the atmosphere to be very hot and oppressive. Some of the more mischievous were tethered by a chain attached to one or two of their legs, to prevent them from annoying their neighbours. When about to be removed from the ship, each animal was brought under the main hatch way, the opening of which had of course been lengthened and widened so as to admit of their descent when they were embarked at Moulmein. Each elephant on board had a mahout, or driver, aid a coolie, or servant, for feeding and cleaning him. To these men they had become accustomed, and were greatly subjected to their influence. The elephant's mahout, assisted by the sailors, arranged a strong canvas sling, or girth, edged with strong rope, round the animal's carcase, and, the tackle being adjusted, the huge fellow was slowly raised off his feet, and the ascent was commenced. One of the largest was said to weigh 3 tons 2i cwt, There was no opposition to the process of hoisting on the part of the animals, with one or two ex ceptions ; indeed, for the most part they appeared anxic us each to have his turn as soon as possibl2, foe .. they had sagacity enough to understand it wet means of quitting the ship, as it had t -ter of bringing them into it. There was greal7 :Ce ment among the crowd on shore whe4 ey swain's whistle was heatd-dirdetiiir .„ e e , the capstan to hoist away, a124110t f • -*:4li:* bit ing ropes, which were cony ctird with siy and wizen mass of the ship, became Sicitfil • n. tight ened, presently the rough, inet Clooldeig mass of the animal's spine and back was seen above the deck ; then part of the head, with which the animal from time to time prevented himself from - being struck against the sides of the hatchway as he swung round on either side ; the small sluggish eye, which seemed - ..to be calmly surveying rho surroundings , - scene ; the active probos cis, forming • by its constant movements a remarkaleleet:ontrast with the rest of the passive frame ; and, finally, after the crane tackle had been connected, the whole creature came into view, dangling in the air, and suspended by a couple of ropes which seemed like mere threads compared with the size of the animal which de pended from them. He was then swung over the bulwarks, and lowered into the barge alongside. It was amusing to observe the quiet way iu which the animal avoided the blow wheu his feet or legs were likely to strike against the side of the ship, and the way in which he assisted in taking off the strain of the ropes and raising himself when being passed over the bulwarks to make his descent into the lighter. One is hardly led to anticipate much adroit ness from such a bulky creature, not merely on ac count of its size, but also because its dull-looking loose hide conceals, in a great degree, that evidence of life and passion which, in the horse, and most other animals, is so strongly marked by starting veins and the rapid muscular movements of its whole body. As soon as the elephant was in the lighter, the mahout, who had got down before Min, at once jumped on his neck, and the animal immediately yielded himself to the direction of his accustomed master. Sometimes he would appear a little ner yetis, putting his trunk into the water to try its depth, with a view, perhaps, to ascertaining if it were possible to walk ashore ; but generally he began turning over some of the fresh grass placed in the bottom of the boat to divert attention, and remained quiet until the boat was brought as near the ground of the dock yard as possible. Then, at a signal from the maheut, after again leaning over and carefully testing the depth of water with his proboscis, he slowly raised one huge foot over the boat's side, then the other, and in a few miutes he was on his way to the place where the rest of his companions were picketed. No accident occurred during the disembarkation, hut two elephants were drowned at Moulmein in embarking them. The animals first landed were not picketed, and for want of this precaution one of them made off in the course of the evening for a stroll. Search was made for him during the night, but he was not discovered until the next morning. The police then notified that he was ina garden about seven miles from the' dockyard whence he started. A couple of his companions and some drivers were despatched to bring him back, but they were nut permitted to proceed, it being contrary to law for elephants to appear in the streets of Cal cutta, or within a space of 5 miles round the city, on account of the danger from frightening horses. A party of 10 men, armed with spears, were sent to tiring back the truant. The only mischief he had done during the night consisted in having entered several compounds, and helped himself to sundry cabbages and other succulent vegetables, All the elephants were of large size, and landed in excellent condition. It is expected that they will all suffer somewhat from fever after the confine ment and close atmosphere they were subjected to during the voyage, but a little medicine will soon remove this. While on board ship they were fed on rations of rice, with an allow ance of green fodder, a large proportion of which consisted of the stems and leaves of an immense species of pineapple found wild at Burmah. After landing, the flies in the dockyard annoyed them greatly. Looking at their tough hides, it was not easy to understand how such a surface could be so sensitive. The plan they adopted to rid themselves of the annoyance consisted in ga thering up in the hollow extremity of the proboscis a quantity of duet and small gravel, which was either thrown over the head so as to fall in a shower along the back, or projected with force between the fore legs so as to sweep away the intruders from the skin beneath. The captain of the Belgravia brought a young elephant, between four and five years old, and about the size of a pony, as a private speculation. It lived on the upper deck, near the captain's cabin, and was re markably tame. Four hundred rupees, or forty pounds sterling, was the price of this animal. The government elephants were marched up to Barrackpore at night, leaving Calcutta at 10 p.m., after the traffic of the day was over. It is strange that not only is the horse afraid of the elephant, a fear which is easily comprehended, but the elephant is equally timid with regard to the horse, and eon siderable training is required to get rid of this mutual distrust and alarm when the animals have been unaccustomed to each other's society. The use ' for which the elephants just landed are especially wanted is carrying commissariat stores. '1 hey can carry an enormous weight, and can go in places where a cart cannot move. One elephant take with ease on his back two large soldiers' tents complete, each made of double cloth, and capable of accommodating 16 men, and can march at the rate of four miles an hour with his load. The driver, sitting on his neck, guides and urges him on by means of a short iron instrument, painted at the end, with which h.. pricks him about the head, andliianginses n] sickle-like projection at the Bide, which a nd serves to into the pendulous flap of the ear, ann.
