MARK LANE. In most of the country markets held on Saturday only moderate supplies of wheat were brought forward. The trade was by no means active—nevertheless, in some in stances, prices advanced is to 2s per quarter. All kinds of spring corn moved off freely, at full quotations. Flour ruled about stationary. On the Continent wheat has become less active. In the United States both wheat and flour continue to fluctuate in prices. The imports of foreign and colonial produce into Lon don last week amounted to 33,'•50 qrs wheat, 3,719 barley, 40,992 oats, 40 beaus, 7,610 lins%;ed, 6,529 rapeseed, 5,746 Indian corn, 377 sundries; 3,912 sacks, and 9,243 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up this morning, coastwise, and by land carriage, were only moderato. At the commencement of business factors demanded an ad vance in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of is to 2s per quarter. The demand, however, was inactive, and the actual rise in prices was about is per quarter for picked samples. There was a fair inquiry for most descriptions of foreign wheat at an improvement in value of is per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow sa!o at the late azlvance. The supply of both English and foreign barley was limited. Sales progressed slowly, nevertheless late rates were well supported. Wo have to report a slow inquiry for most descriptions of malt at about stationary prices. The supply was sea sonably good. Although the supply was good oats moved off freely, and the quotations had an upward tendency. There was only a moderate supply for beans, yet prices were well supported. Peas wero quito as dear as last week, with a very Limited quantity on offer. Rye and Indian corn were very firm. The supply of the former was trifling ; of the latter, tolerably good. Both English and foreign flour was inactive, at last week's currency. Seeds and cakes supported former terms. CURRENCY PER DIP.

Our market to-day was seasonably woll supplied with foreign stock, which change hands steadily at full quota tions to a slight advance. . .. . . Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts wore less extensive than on this day fortnight ; but their general quality was tolerably good. For nearly all kinds the demand ruled steady at an advance in the quota tions of 2d per 81bs. The top figure was 5s per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received about 1,700 short horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 570 various breeds ; and from Ireland, 230 oxen, cows, &c. Tho condition of the latter portion of the supply was very inferior. The supply of English sheep was very moderate, both as regards number and quality. On the whole there was a fair average business doing in all breeds, at an improve ment in value of 2d per 81bs. The best Downs and half breds changed hands at from 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 81bs. The sale for calves was steady, at about last week's currency—viz., from 4s ld to 55 4d per 81bs. The supply was very moderate. There was a fair inquiry for pigs ; at previous quotations.

WOOL. The transactions in colonial wool by private contract have been very moderate, at about late rates. The next series of public sales are announced for the 14th proximo. Up to the present moment the arrivals comprise about 70,000 bales. In English wool very little has boon doing, at our quotations. Last week's imports consisted of 1,306 bales from Algoa Bay, 341 Melbourne, 1,255 Port Philip, and 776 bales from Brisbane.

THIS DAY. s d 1 4 1 4 1 1 2; 1 1 81 The October session of the Central Criminal Court commenced to-day. The calendar contains the names of 108 persons for trial. There is only one case of wilful murder, that of Rose Matthews, a girl only 19 years, who is accused of destroying the life of her child by cutting its throat, and whose trial was postponed from the September session on the ground that evidence could be brought forward to show that the accused was in such a state of mind at the time the act was committed as not to be re sponsible for her actions. There is a serious charge against a married woman named Sarah Raeburn, of having attempted to murder her child by throwing it into a quantity of lime and water, with the in tention of suffocating it ; and there is another charge of a similar nature against a prisoner named James Green, who was formerly a police-constable, the charge being that of attempting to murder his wife by shooting her. There are three very important commercial cases that were specially postponed to this session that will have to be disposed of. The first is the case of Mr. Thos. Edgeley, who for many years carried on business as a merchant in the City of London, and who is charged with having obtained more than £lOO,OOO from the late Leeds Bank by means of forgery and false pretences. This case, from the former position of the accused, and the large amount of money which he is alleged to have fraudulently obtained, which is stated to hays been theimmediate cause of the stoppage of the bank in question, creates a great deal of interest in commer cial circles, and the trial is expected to occupy a con siderable time, special counsel having been retained both for the prosecution and the defence. Another case, of the same character, is that of a prisoner named John William Hurst, who was clerk to a stockbroking firm in the City, and who is accused of robbing his employers to the amount of £13,000. The third case of this kind is the charge against two gentlemen named Grubb and Robinson, who formerly carried on an extensive business as ship brokers, and who are accused of having unlawfully appropriated to their own use the sum of £2,000 which they had received on account of insurances effected upon a vessel. Among the other cases of public interest that will have to be disposed of at this session is that of Thomas Ellis, alias Morgan, the sham detective, who appears to have carried on a most extraordinary syst,ma of fraud. There is also the case of the fashionable swindler, who re presented herself as the lion. Geraldine Meurice, and also as Lady Meurice, and who contrived by her specious representations to plunder some of the principal West-end tradesmen of valuable property to an enormous amount.

The Special Commission for the trial of the Fenian prisoners charged with the murder of Police sergeant Brett, at Manchester, on the 18th of September last, was opened on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Justice Mellor drove up to the Assize Courts in the carriage of the High Sheriff a few minutes before four o'clock. Mr. Justice Blackburn had not reached Manchester, but was expected by an early train. A crowd of people had assembled in the vicinity of the court, but the attendance inside was not large. Mr. Justice Mellor came upon the bench fully robed, and not in civilian attire as on ordinary occasions. There were some of the magistrates of the visiting committee present, in cluding Mr. William Rayner Wood and Mr. Hib bert, with a rather stronger force of county police than usual, but in no other respect was there a de parture from the course adopted at the opening of other assizes. . The reading of the Commission occupied only a few minutes, and the Court then adjourned till Monday (this day). Mr. W. P. Roberts received a final answer from the Home-office on Saturday evening. After his latest published letter to Mr. Secretary Hardy he telegraphed to the press on Saturday morning as follows : This morning brings me letter from the Trea sury Solicitor, with list of 25 additional witnesses, none of whom were ever heard of before, to give evidence against Allen and others. It is altogether impossible that proper defence can be made without time for inquiry and consultation with prisoners, no two of whom can be seen at the same time. The supposed evidence, corresponding with what these new witnesses would have add before the magis trates, should have been sent to me at least a fort night ago —as, indeed, was promised when the case was before the magistrates. This course is always adopted in such cases. I have telegraphed the Home Secretary that the prisoners oily not Le tried till as long after Monday as can be given, and that the supposed evidence may be sent me directly." The answer from the Home Secretary, received by telegram on Saturday evening, was as follows : , 4 I cannot interfere in any way with the opening of the Commission. lam informed that it is not necessary, but common as a matter of fairness, to give the names of new witnesses who may possibly be called. This has been done as soon as was prac ticable. Your application by letter that the Go vernment should bear the expenses of the defence cannot be entertained." The following is the list of counsel actually retained by the Government to conduct the prosecution : The Attorney-General, Sir J. B. Karslake ; Mr. Pickering, Q.C., Mr. Sowler, Q.C., Mr. Hannen, and Mr. Higgin. During Saturday Mr. Sergeant O'Brien and Mr. Digby Seymour were communi cated with on behalf of the prisoners, and an answer was received ou behalf of those gentlemen that one of them would reach Manchester on Saturday night, and the other yesterday. Mr. Ernest Jones and Mr. Cottingham will also hold briefs for the defence. DEATH OF MR. CHARLES W. PACKE, M.P.- Last evening, shortly before 9 o'clock, Mr. O. W. Packe, M.P. for South Leicestershire, died at his residence, Rich mond-terrace, Whitehall. For some months past his ill ness—dropsy—was such that his nearest family connec tions had no hope of his ultimate recovery, and latterly he had been in a weak and hopeless condition. The late hon. member was a Conservative in politics, and for the 30 years ho had been in the House of Commons (he was elected member for the southern division of Leicester in 1836) he generally supported the present leader of the House of Commons, but occasionally supported the late Lord Pal merston, like other members of his party. He was a ma gistrate and deputy-lieutenant for the county of * Leicester, and colonel of the Leicestershire Yeomanry. Ho was the eldest son of the late Mr. Charles James Packe, of Prost wold-hall, Leicestershire, by Penelope, eldest daughter of the Into Mr. Richard Dugdale, of Blyth-hall, Warwickshire, and married Kitty Jenkyn, only daughter of Mr. Thomas Host, and heiress of Mr. Jenkyn, Reading. It is said that one of the Siamese Ambassadors, on going home from his European visit, made au elaborate report on all he had seen, including the music ho had heard in the West. He was very little impressed by the music, savo and except that which he said was "produced by a great trunk sot upon legs." "A woman," ho wrote, " sits in front of this, and, tickling a sort of tail it has with her toe, produces a variety of sounds by boating rapidly with her fingers on a number of little bits of ivory in front of it !" Such is a Siamese description of our piano forte!—Musical Standard. . " I ADVERTISEMENTI HOLLOWAY'S PILLS—PREVISION.— As autumn treads on winter, slender, delicate, and pale-faced youths become listless, languid, and debilitated, unless an alterative combined with some tonic be administered to quicken their enfeebled organs. This precise requirement is supplied in these noted pills, which Call and will accom plish all that is wanted, provided the printed instructions surrounding them meet with scrupulous attention. Hollo way's Pills are specially adapted to supply the medical wants of youth, because his medicine acts gently though surely as a purifier, regulator, alterative, tonic, and mild aperient. A very few doses of these Pills will convince any discouraged invalid that his cure lies in his own hands, and 4 little perNyoKancu only is demanded for its completion. BRITISM 1111N11:5. efun.

What may be appropriately termed the last legitimate meeting of the season has just been concluded at Now market, and never under more disastrous circumstances to backers, in fact the reverses they must have mot with during the last three days have been sufficient to break the Bank of England. In half a dozen instances ' at least the winners turned up in those animals against whom tho longest odds wore quoted. The Cambridgeshire Stakes was not in exact accordance with my anticipations, selecting Laneret I was not disgraced. The Chelmsford Autumn Handicap, decided to-morrow, reads like a certainty for SACCIIAROMETER, and the NurserY Handicap appears to be an equally good thing for CATER, unl• ss Mr. Bevill should send a commission into the market to back BENEVOLENCE, and then I should fancy her chance. LADY SOPHIE ought to give a good account of herself in the Betting Handicap Plate. On Wednesday the County Members' Handicap will :nost likely be won by LAURA, and I see nothing to beat COURT CARD for the Innkeepers' Handicap Plate. • The Worcester Autumn gandicap also takes place on Tuesday, and I think Musketeer and Goojerat aro most . favourably handicapped. For the Nursery Plato Handicap my choice is BROADROLM, and if defeated, it may be by lIELtom. The handicap Plato will go to Ummus ; but as regards the hurdle Race or any other "jumping" events throughout the week, I must decline giving an opinion. The Grand Stand Plate, amongst Wednesday's events, looks in favour of ULPlius or DUET, and it is any odds on THE STAR if he should be sent for the Autumn Flying Stakes. The Lincoln Autumn Handicap has sixteen acceptances, and of these we may anticipate seeing a moiety at the post, viz., Regalia or Caithness, Breadalbane. Treasure Trove, Silenus, Roquefort, Montgubert, ana Aggravator. Aggravator or Roquefort will most likely furnish the winner. The Blankaey Stakes will go to SPECULUM or VEDA. The Johnstone Plate to REINDEEn or ASNSLEY, and the Burton Stakes to Bloss's representative, probably VESPASIAN. Mr. Saville will certainly win the Hainton Stakes, run on Tuesday, if he starts MoLESKIN for it, and as Bloss has five youngsters engaged in the Aveland Nursery Handi cap, none of whom aro unfavourably weighted, he ought to make a certainty of that stake, but for my own part I should be content to select VEDA to represent my interests, as she is a first-class two-year-old. The weights for the Liverpool Autumn Handicap are now before me, but, as the acceptances come out on Tues day, it is useless my going into any analysis of the weights until your next publication. Those which attract my at tention as best in are The Peer, Pirate Chief, and Primate. A FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. THE LONDON 3IAUKET.-SATURDAY. This being the last day of the Newmarket Houghton Meeting, the majority of speculators stay to " play the game out," and the clubs were in consequence, but meagrely attended. A few small bets were now and then made on the Liverpool Autumn Cup ; but these are not worth recording, seeing that the acceptances are due to morrow, and also that, as yet, no genuine commission has been thrown into the market.

John Skates was charged before Mr. Vaughan, this afternoon, with having committed a violent assault upon police-constable Saunders, E division, who, it will be remembered, was brutally ill-used on Sunday morning, the 20th inst., at the entrance to a mews leading out of Burton-crescent, and who still lies in a very precarious state in the Hunter street police-s t ation. Mr. Superintendent Searle said that this was the case of a man in his division who was stabbed and shot on Sunday morning, the 20th inst. The con stable was too unwell to appear or to take any evi dence from him, and this fact the divisional surgeon was there to prove. Several suspicious circum stances had come to his knowledge which bad in duced him to have this man searched for ; and after some difficulty he was taken last night. lie should, after a little evidence, ask the magistrate to grant a remand. Edward Bennett, No. 20, North-crescent-mews, said that he was a labourer at the gasworks. On the morning of the 20th inst.; about half-past two or three o'clock, he saw the reflection of a police man's lamp pass his first floor, and some minutes elapsed after that when he heard the report of a pistol. He could not tell where it came from, but he looked out of the window and saw a policeman in a slanting position against the railings. He went down stairs with only one leg in his trousers. When he went to the policeman he was crying out bitterly, and he said, " What have I done to be shot." Witness said " I cannot tell." Some person came behind and said, " Are you shot, cocky." He then took him down the mews, and found a police-officer. Ile left the man with him ; and he took him to the arch way, and then two officers came up and they took him to the station in Hunter-street. Prisoner—Did not say to you " shall I spring the rattle for you ?" Witness—l never saw you at all. You did not catch hold of the policeman's: left arm and lead him with you. lie did not hear this man say that the policeman had been shot. You did not catch hold of the policeman's leg. I had hold of his left arm. The rattle was sprung before I came down. Mr. Vaughan—Did you see any blood coming from the policeman ? Witness—No, I only saw the mark on the helmet. It was a cut. Jane Bennett said she was the daughter of last witness. She heard the report of the pistol, and ran into the mews. When she got there she saw the prisoner jump from a van. She ran over to the policeman, and said, " Holloa, cockey, where have they shot you ?" She did not hear the constable answer, but he said to her father, " What have I done to be shot ?" The prisoner followed her down the mews, and then some policemen came down, and she went to put some more things on, and when she came down again there were several policemen in the mews, and prisoner standing there. She caught hold of his arm and said, " Holloal what are you doing here ?'? He said, " You can shut your - mouth, you need not make a song about it ; if a policeman hears you he might take me up on suspicion." Ile then pulled a bag out of his pocked, and said, " This will show where I have been." It looked like a brown paper bag. He also added, "If you were turned out, you would be glad to go anywhere" " Go: in doors, you know nothing; about it. I should think you were a Coppers mark." My brother told me to go indoors, as it was no busines of mine. My mother called, me and I went in. She left the pri-: Boner going to Burton -crescent. At the time this conversation took place no police constables were in view. The prisoner was remanded till Friday, but ad mitted to bail. THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. (RE UTER'S EXPRESS.)
