Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate, and the condition of th• produce was but middling. The trade was dull for all qualities, and the amount of business transacted small. Prices were decidedly lower than on Monday, although in most cases factors declined to sell, except at Monday's quotations. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The trade was in a sluggish state, and prices had a droop ing tondency. In this department the transactions were also limited. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, and drooping in values. The trade for barley was in a sluggish state ; oven good and fine samples barely supported Monday's prioes, while inferior parcels sold at fully that day's decline. Malt was in slow request, at late rates. Oats were in good supply and slow request, at barely late rates. Beans sold heavily, at quite Monday's decline in their value. The market was fairly supplied. Peas met a slow sale, at late rates. The show of samples was tolerably large. The flour trade was dull, at Monday's currency. SKIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. .arle.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH". (Sittings in Error.) TARNER V. WALKEE.-THE CORNHILL BURGLARY. The hearing of the point of law reserved by the judge who tried the case at Guildhall was resumed this morning before the seven judges sitting in error. The plaintiff in the case was a tradesman, formerly carrying on the busi ness of a watchmaker in Wilderness-row, and the defen dant was the watchmaker whose premises were burgla riously broken open and robbed to an alarming extent by the gang of burglars, headed by two men named Scotty and Caseley. A large reward was offered by Walker for the discovery of the thieves and the restoration of the pro perty, and the plaintiff claimed to be the person who was entitled to the whole of the reward in consequence of certain informati o n given by him to the police. The defendant denied that the information given by the plaintiff was that which led to the apprehension of the thieves, whereupJu an action was brought by the plaintiff against the defendant for the amount of the re ward, and the per centage upon the value of the property recovered. At the trial which took place at Guildhall evi dence was given to show that the police acted on informa tion received from othot persons and not horn the plaintiff, but the plaintiff alleged that he was the first person who gave the police any positive information IN hich led to the apprehension, and therefore he was entitled to the reward. The plaintiff's case was that, some time after the robbery, a man named Roberts entered the plaintiff's shop, and producing a watch, asked the plaintiff to make certain repairs. The plaintiff, on a close examination of the watch, found marks on the name plate of the watch, which led him to believe that the name of Walker had been filed out, and, acting on that suspicion, he took the watch and told the man to call for it the next day. Im mediately after this tho plaintiff gave information to the police, and the next day the police attended and remained in waiting in the plaintiff's parlour until Roberts arrived, ;when he was apprehended,. and - two other watches, found to be a portion of the property stolen from Cornhill, found ou his person. Roberts was taken before the presiding magistrate at the Mansion-house, where, having undergone an examinatiou, he was removed to Newgate. ' Whilst there Roberts sent for the police,' and then gave more information; in fact, he what is vttlgarly termed "split," and very shortly afterwards the burglars_ were appre hended, with a largo quantity of the property on them, in the Whitechapel-road, in a house of one of themwas about to open as an eel-pie shop. They 'were tried, convicted, and sentenced to a long term of p3nal servitude, and then the plaintiff set up his claim to the reward. The defendant denied that the information given by Tamer was that which led to the apprehension of the thieves, but that the information given by Roberts to the police, whilst he was in prison, was the actual thing that enabled the offi cers to capture the burglars. The defendant did not ob ject to pay a small proportion of the reward to the plain tiff, but he refused such an arrangement, and brought his action. A 'verdict was given for the plaintiff on . ..the ground that his information " led to" according to the terms of the bill offering the reward, the apprehension of the thieves. A rule was afterwards moved for and obtained in the Court of Queen's Bench, sitting at Westminster, to set aside the verdict on the ground that the information given by the plaintiff was too remote, but ou the close of the arguments it was discharged, but leave was given to the defendant to raise the question in the Court of Error, as to whether or no the remoteness of the information disentitlod him to the reward. Mr. Mellish, at groat length, argued that the informa tion which enabled the police to apprehend the burglars was that given by Roberts, and not that received from Tamer. Roberts when in prison, thinkii.g that his punishment might be lessened by telling all that ho knew about the robbery, sent for the police, and had he not acted in the mannor be did the property would never have been discovered or the thieves apprehended. All the plaintiff did was to give the police certain information with respect to Roberts, and him alone. Chief Baron Kelly—The information given by the plaintiff led to the apprehension of Roberts, and the ap prehension of Roberts led the police to apprehend the burglars. _ Mr. Mellish—The information of Tamer was solely con fined to the apprehension of Roberts, and thorn it stopped, for had not Roberts chosen to open his mouth the matter might never have been discovered. Under such circum stances, he contended that plaintiff was not entitled to the reward, and that the verdict ought to be quashed. The Court, without calling on orgeant Parry, who appeared 'for the plaintiff, affirmed to the verdict of the jury given in favour of the plaintiff. COURT OF. BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Gaulburn.) IN RE THE REV. R. LEE, THE RECTOR OF STEPNEY.

CHINA AND COREA. (From the Correspondent of the Times.) SHANGHAI, Dec. 8. The French expedition to the Corea, undertaken to avenge the murder of French missionaries, which I mentioned a few weeks ago, has failed to attain the desired object. The mistake was, I suspect, committed by undervaluing the degree of resistance likely to be encountered. It was, of course, quite possible that the Coreans might be awed by the arrival of a French squldron into conceding what was demanded, but as Admiral Roze could only laud 600 men in the event of its becoming necessary to operate on shore, the risk of failure was rather imminent. It will, however, be intaesting to. detail the movements of the expedition from the time it left Uhefoo on the 11th of October till its, final depar 7 ture from the Seoul. The expedition consisted of the La Guerriere, flag ship, Pritnauguet sloop of w.tr, Tardif, Lo Brethon, and Desronledes gunboats, and Laplace despatch vessel. Apparently the Coreaus did not anticipate an attack this year, as the batteries defending the entrance to the river were not manned, and the fleet ascended to Kang-hoa without firing a shot. This, apparently the second city in the kingdom, was also abandoned after a very trifling resistance, and large quantities of warlike stores fell into the hands of the invaders. Muskets, swords, daggers, cui rasses, bows and arrows, helmets, cannon, and, it is alleged, no less than 250 tons of gunpowder were taken here, confirming appareritly the _report that Kang-hoa is one of three strongholds on which the King relies for a safe retreat in case of insurrection or invasion. The Royal domain here is described as exceedingly spacious and handsOme, comprising pa godas, pavilions, gardens, &c., which, however, afford a strong contrast to the wretched buildings of the inhabitants. After they had been here a few days, the French received a deputation from the 'Corean authorities, requesting that the Admiral would either go himself or depute some one to the capital to negotiate. But this was declined, from a very . well-founded apprehension of treachery, and an in timation given that a visit from a Corean Embassy at Kang-hoa would be preferred, and that what was required was the punishment of the Ministers who had instigated the massacre of the missionaries. The fact that no further overtures were made from Seoul and tire known rejection by the Government of the Chinese Emperor's advice to yield to the French demands, confirm the report that prepara tions had been made to entrap the Admiral and suite en route, if the invitation had been accepted. In the meantime, the French made various recon naissances in the neighbourhood of Kang-hoa, which they at first found denuded of troops. But, gra dually, Corean soldiers began to show themselves in villages which had, at first, been deserted ; one or two skirmishes took place in which the French were uniformly successful, and bodies of troops ' attempted to interpose between Kang-hoa and the sea, but were repelled by the ship's shell. Finding matters look thus threatening, the Admiral deter mined to destroy the stores and arms which he had found in Kang-hoa, and burnt a large fleet of junks which were lying in the river. The events which finally decided his retreat took place a few days subsequently. A body of 150 men were despatched to take a fortified post on the op posite side of the river. Spies had brought in word that troops were assembling in this neighbourhood with a design of attacking the French, and this force was sent out as a sort of reconnaissance en force, to ascertain their strength. In the words of a local correspondent, " the boats advanced to within 30 yards of the landing place, when the wall became alive with men, and a galling fire was poured down on the assailants, wounding 25 of their number be fore they could get on shore." As soon as they did so the remainder charged and drove off their adver saries. The next day another reconnaissance of equal strength was ordered in the direction of a fortified post where a number of troops were said to be lodged ; and here again a stubborn resistance was encountered. About 500 Coreans suddenly manned about 100 yards of the fort, ald poured in a volley which at once put 35 men hors de combat. Having no field pieces, tlie French could not perse vere in the attack against so heavy odds, and com menced a retreat, which tempted the Coreans to follow up their success by a sortie. In the open ground, however, they were, of course, repulsed, though they are said to have stood the French fire with much coolness. Thus, in two days, Admiral Rize had lost 60 men out of a disposable landing force of some GOO, and, as matters were evidently getting hotter, he adopted the wise resolution of abandoning the expedition for the winter, and retreating southwards. After the very unnecessary preliminary of burning the city, the destruction of the munitions of war was a pun ishment on the Government, but to burn the city was to inflict a useless injury on a number of poor wretches who, probably, were ignorant of the very existence of the priests whose massacre it was de sired to avenge. The carrying off the library of the city, too, as a present for the Paris Library was rather a harsh proceeding. However some allow ance must be made for the feeling of disappointment at having failed to attain their object. The destruc tion of Kang-hoa and its valUable stores will, no doubt, have impressed on tld Coreans that French subjects could not be killed with impunity. But the actual object of the expedition —to exact punish ment of those concerned and to place future relations on a more satisfactory footing—is further from at tainment than ever. If the French return in thespring to complete the task they have undertaken, they will find au enemy encouraged, by the impression that they have repelled one attack, to more vigorous re sistance ; and, what is more, they will, probably find them prepared. The batteries defending the passage of the Seoul will be manned, and the walls of Kang-hoa defended. Of course, the result is cer tain. Corea cannot resist France; but greater loss of life will inevitably be entailed on both sides, and a small war become necessary when more judicious action at first might, perhaps, have attained the de sired end. It cannot be held judicious to have un dertaken an expedition into the interior of a strange country, through an unknown river, so very near the cold season that little margin was left for any opera tions that might be necessary. Regarding the Coreans themselves not much ap pears to have been gleaned except that, judging from the arms, breast plates, helmets, &c., which were found in Kang-hoa, they are no mean artificers in metals. The houses of the inhabitants in this city are said to be very poor, but the King's residence strikingly handsome, and the grounds well laid out. Many articles of curiosity showing very ingenious workmanship were found ; among others an original breech-loading cannon of the most primitive descrip tion. The men are spoken of as much superior in point of courage to their neighbours the Chinese, and even to the inhabitants of the neighbouring kingdom, whom they much resemble. The viceroy has returned to Nankin, after a suc cessful campaign against the Shangtung-Nienfei, who, according to native accounts, are now com pletely crushed and dispersed. The arsenal which Macartney had established at Soochow has been re moved to Nankin, where it is likely to be carried out on a still larger scale. The preponderating in fluence in the ercpire exercised by Li-hung-Chang appears to have excited the jealousy, not only of the Court, but of his brother satraps. Whether prompted from Pekin or of their own initiative, the viceroys of the southern coast provinces have en tered into a coalition, evidently intended as a counterpoise to the power of Li and Tsen. Cheh ' keang and Foh-kieu, Kwangtung and Kwangsi have combined to establish an arsenal and dockyard at Foochow, which shall furnish them with muni tions of war that Li now exclusively derives from his arsenal at Nankin. Two Frenchmen—Messrs. Giguel and D'Aiguebelle, the former of whom has just resigned the post of Commissioner of Customs at Hankow, the latter late commandant of the Franco-Chinese troops who were instrumental in pacifying Chekiang, both lieutenants in the French navy—are to be intrusted with the execution of the scheme, to which about one million sterling is to be appropriated. It is hoped to construct an arsenal and to build several gunboats, which are at first to be officered and worked by foreigners, but which at the end of six years it is assumed the Chinese will be able to manage without their aid. There are one or two flaws in the scheme, which on the whole merits the support rather than the jealousy of foreigners. In the first place, the sum allotted will not suffice for the attainment of the desired result, and, in the second, it is improbable that the Chinese will find themselves able to shake off their instruc tors when they desire. But it is to our interest that the hands of the authorities should be strengthened, and in no part of the empire do they reauire this more than in the neighbourhood of Foochow, Swa tow, and Amoy. The popul ttion in this part of the country have a pleasant way of going out armed to till the fields ; villages being divided against villages, and district against district. A man going out to plough deposits his gun and sword in a corner of the field, and recreates himself between whiles by a pitched battle with the nun in the next plot, who belongs to another family with which his own is at feud. Naturally, the local authority amid such a turbulent class is next to powerless. Possibly the acquisition of sonic gm.al guns may enable the maintenance of something more nearly approach ing to order than has yet been attempted. The fear which haS sometimes been suggested lest we should be teaching the Chinese to make and use weapons against ourselves is very vain. Our supe riority lies in morale and physique, quite as much as iu materiel. One cannot help noticing, in connec tion with this subject, how the history of India is slowly and gradually being reproduced in China. Au Englishman has charge of an arsenal at Nan kin, and othor Englishmen are teaching the vice roy's troops the rudiments of drill. An English man commands a small disciplined corps at Ning po, and now Frenchmen are about to establish an arsenal and gunboats at Foochow, under the au spices of a coalition prompted by jealousy of the power of Li-hung. elan.; and Tsen-kwo-fan. Officers of the same two nations disciplined the troops and. officered the guns of rival satraps in India. Is the result to be the same ? SHIPPING- INTELLIGENCE—Ths Day. GRAVESEND, Friday Morning.

A 'A lATuIMONIALSPECULATION. --A charge brought by a railway inspector named Garroux against a matrimo nial agent named Angot, for detaining a security of the value of 300 francs, was heard on Tuesday at the Paris Tribunal of Correctional Police. The plaintiff had applied to the defendant for professional assistance, and the latter bad in consequence introduced him to a young lady possess ing a fortune of 33,000 to 40,000 francs, besides expecta tions from a rich uncle disposed to apoplexy. Garroux had lodged with Angot a railway bond of 300 f. as an earnest of the fee to be paid him for his services, but the match having fallen through in consequence of some indiscreet questions put by Garroux respecting the past history of his intended, he applied to Angot to return the property; this the latter declined to do, alleging that the marriage had only failed in consequence of the unusual susceptibility of the suitor. The Tribunal, considering the charge not sufficiently established, acquitted the accused, and con demned the plaintiff to pay costs. CONFESSION OF INC ENDIARISM. —At the Manches ter City Police-court, on Wednesday, a man named Michael MiGeo was charged, on his own confession, with having broken into, and set fire to, the premises of his employer, Mr. J. Snowden, cut-nail maker, Kenyon-street, Rochdale road, on Tuesday morning. The premises in Kenyon street, which is not a thoroughfare, consists of a range of shed buildings, two or three storeys in height, and form three sides of a square. They are in the occupation of five tenants, four of whom aro workers in metal. Tho entrance to Mr. Snowden's premises is on the 'ground floor. Mr. G. Snowden had locked up his premises a few minutes before 6 o'clock on the preceding evening, at which time there was no fire, and there had been no fires lighted in the pre mises during the day. The prisoner, who is in Mr. Snow den's employ, went to the Swan-street station, which is about 200 yards from the prosecutor's premises, about five minutes to 1 o'clock on Tuesday morning, and reported to Hudson, the inspector on duty, that there was a fire in a hay-cutting shop in Kenyon-street. Hudson sent two men to the place, but they returned to the station and said there was no fire. The prisoner, who had remained at the station, was asked by Hudson why he had brought the message which he had delivered, and he replied, " They told me it was on fire," and then left the office. He had scarcely gone when a policeman arrived with the information that Mr. Snowden's shop was on fire. A tele gram was therefore sent to the chief fire-station, and the engines were despatched thence. The prosecutor's pre mises are shut off from the street by a pair of large gates, in which there is a small wicket. The firemen, on arriving, found that wicket open; and, on going further, they found that the entrance to the workshops had also been forced open. It took more than two hours to put out the fire ; and the premises were considerably damaged. After the fire Mr. Geo. Snowden went to the premises, which he found had b:en partly burned down. On the previous night ho had left beneath a wooden staircase a quantity of canvas bags and paper, the whole of which was consumed. There was no suggestion of any t hreat b y the prisoner, of a b ny ill-feeling on his part tow ards his employer. Shorty 1000 fore the fire was discove red, he had been seen within yards of the premises ;wahne Swan -str eet. tarmeoetin about and went towards direction v() from o'clock them,o Tuesday evening the p risoner went he cons Alb table ert-street on duty, police a station.

The prisoner replied that he was. The superintendent asked for his name, and theyrisouer immediately stated it. Ile was thou asked if the statement on the paper which he had given to Rhodes was true, and whether it was in his own writing, to both of which questions the prisoner replied in the affirmative. At the superintendent's sug gestion, the prisoner consented to go rind point out the place which he set on fire: Mr. Geo and Mr. Tozer (the superintendent of the fire brigade) wont with the prisoner, who took them to the prosecutor's works, and pointed to a door which he said he had broken Open. He also took them to a place where ho said he had set fire to some paper. The prisoner, who was perfectly sober, was then taken back to Albert-street station, where he was locked up, and the charge entered against him. While the prisoner was in the dock, it was discovered that he was wearing an old overcoat which was the property of Mr. Snowden, and which had been stolen from the works, where it had been left on Monday night. The prisoner, who did not question any of the witnesses, was committed to take his trial at the spring assizes. TIIE OPENING OF THE PARIS EXHIBITION.—The exhibitors at the building in the Champ de Mars are begin ning to arrive in Paris, and aro flocking to the offices to claim the space allotted to them ; the distribution of sur face is not, however, yet terminated. An opinion is con seqUently prevalent that the date for opening, fixed for April 1, will have to be postponed, but the contrary affir , mation is firmly made by the Imperial Commission.
