The demand for wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday was in a very sluggish state, yet no mate rial change took place in the quotations. Barley and most other spring corn, including flour, met an inactive inquiry. Advices from New York, to the 16th inst., state that flour had declined 12i to 25 cents per barrel, and that grain was drooping in price. The continental markets continue firm The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 35,604 quarters of wheat, 12,057 barley, 40,733 oats, 6,790 beans, 1,049 peas, 1,262 tare; 15,383 linseed, 3,169 rapeseed, 777 sundry seeds, 2,700 sacks and 25 barrels of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market, this morning, coastwise, was very moderate, and the arrivals by land carriage were again small. Notwith standing that the show of samples was rather limited, the demand for all kinds of wheat, of home produce, arising chieflj from several large cargoes of foreign having gone direct into millers' hands, was very inactive, and some time elapsed ere any business took place. When sales took place prices were rather easier than on this day se'n night, the decline being in some instances about is. per quarter. We were well supplied with foreign wheat, but there was a deficiency of really fine samples. A very limited business was transacted in all descriptions, yet we have no change to notice in the quotations. Floating cargoes of grain were rather neglected. The supply of barley was considerably larger than on this day se'nnight, yet the trade ruled steady, and prices were well supported. There was a moderate sale for malt at last week's quota tions. The supply of oats was good, yet all kinds were in fair request, at full prices. ' . - We had a moderate inquiry for beans on former terms. Peas changed hands slowly at late rates. The flour trade was dull, yet the quotations were well maintained. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were moderate—the total supply amounting to 2,673 head.

There was rather a large supply of foreign beasts in to day's market ; but the show of foreign sheep was limited. The arrivals of beasts freoh up this morning from our own grazing districts were seasonably extensive, and in excellent condition. As the attendance of buyers was very moderate, the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of 2d. per Bibs. A few very superior lots realised 41. 6d. per 81bs. ; but the general top figure for beef was 4s. 4d. per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,490 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 700 horned and polled Scots. The show of sheep was tolerably good as to number, but the weight and condition of all breeds were inferior. For all kinds of sheep, however, no change took place. Lambs—the supply of which was moderate, and very deficient in quality—sold slowly, at last week's currency. The veal trade was heavy and the quotations gave way 2d. per Sibs. The top figure was ss. 2d. per 81b. The sale of pigs was in a very sluggish state, at last week's quotations. Per 81bs to sink the offals. s. d. s. d. i , s. d. s d.

SIIRTEES. The further arguments on this part-heard appeal were resumed and occupied his lordship the whole day. The case came before his lordship upon appeal from the judgment of Vice• Chancellor Stuart dismissing the plaintiff's bill, but without costs. The bill was filed by several of the directors of the Stockton and Darlington Railway Company against Mr. Surtees, who was the purchaser of certain lands in the county of Durham from a person named Ord, the object of the bill being to obtain the specific performance of an agreement alleged to have been entered into by Mr. Ord with the Derwent Iron Company, whose interest the plaintiff now had, to grant to the plaintiffs way leave over the lands in question, upon which a railway had been con structed, the defendants contending that no binding agreement had been entered into, and that before the completion of the possession the offer of Mr. Ord had been retracted. (Before the Lords Justices of Appeal.) LORD KENSINGTON V. BOUVERIE-JUDGMENT. The Lords Justices gave judgment to-day on the case, which was argued sometimes since. The case came be fore their lordships upon appeal from the decision of the M:ister of the Rolls, affirming the certificate of his chief clerk, finding that the property enjoyed by the present Lord Kensington was not chargeable with the arrears of interest of the sum of 20,0001. raised upon it by the late lord. The late Lord Kensington was entitled to considerable property in the neighbourhood of Kensing ton, called the Kensington Estate, subject to a mort gage of 6,0001. to Lord Braybrooke. By his marriage settlement he was entitled to charge the property to the extent of raising the sum of 20,0001. That sum had been raised by the late lord, and the benefits to be derived from it, together with the interest, had been assigned by him to the defendant. Upon the late lord's death there was a considerable arrear of interest which the defendant claimed from the present noble possessor of the property ; that claim was resisted by him on the ground that he could be only called upon to pay the in. terest since his father's death, and he filed the present bill for the purpose of redeeming the mortgage for the 20,0001. upon the payment of that sum and the interest since his father's death. The Master of the Rolls made a decree in favour of the, claim of the present Lord Kensington, and hence the present appeal. The Lords Justices, after going at some length into the case, stated their opinion to be that, although the income derived from the Kensington estate was not sufficient to pay the interest on the mortgage of Lord Braybrooke, and the 20,0001. raised by the late Lord Kensington, still that in the interest of the latter sum there was a charge upon the corpus of the estate, and must be paid by the present possessor. Their lordships therefore would make a decree for the redemption of the mortgage for 20,0001. upon the payment of the interest, elirecting at the same time an account to be taken of the interest due upon that sum at the time of the death of the late Lord Ken sington. Counsel were requested to draw up the decree and submit it to their lordships on the next day they sat. Their lordships will sit in the Privy Council to-morrow. In the Rolls and Vice-Chancellors Kindersley and Wood's Court nothing of interest occurred. The Vice-Chancellor Stuart did not sit to-day. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Alderson, Platt, and Martin.) The court was occupied to-day in hearings upon the special paper, but ,up to the time our report was des patched nothing of general interest transpired. _ Baron Parke sat at Nisi Prius in the Lords Justices Court. The case of Berchi v. Maple, which was partly heard on a previous day, being an action for trespass on trover, was resumed, and was expected to occupy the attention of the court during the whole of the day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. Sittings in Banco,_ before Lord Chief'Justice Campbell, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Crompton.) IN RE ---, AN ATTORNEY. Mr. Lush applied for a rule calling on an attorney, residing at Grinstead, to deliver his bill of costs, his receipts and payments, and pay over the balance relative to the following transaction —The applicant, an illiterate man, applied to the attorney to raise him 4001. to pay off a mortgage of 3001. and interest. The attorney raised the money, and paid off the amount and interest, and an application was made to him by applicant for the balance, which was at first met by a variety of excuses, but subsequently he was paid 20./., the attorney promising to render an account. After that applicant called on him and told him he must have 501., on which the attorney told him it he would accept a hill for 501. he would get it discounted. On the bill becoming due he applied to the attorney, and rem n strated with him for not having rendered him an account when he paid him 6/. Some time after applicant received a letter from the attorney appointing a time for the set tlement of the account, but instead of making out a pro per account, informed the applicant that with the 501. bill he was indebted to him 401., and obtained from him a promissory note for that amount. The 501 bill applicant considered was given in settlement of his account, but at the end of last year to his great surprise he had suddenly put in his house executions for the 501. and 401. bills, and the whole of his furniture sold. Rule granted. GILLESPY V. THOMPSON AND OTTERS. Mr. Watson Q.C., showed cause against a rule ob tained last term for a new trial on the ground of the verdict in this case being against the evidence. The action, which was tried-• at the last assizes at New castle-on-Tyne, before Mr. Baron Parke, wa an action upon a charter party. The vessel in question, about 460 tons burthen, was to load a cargo of coals at Sunderland, to proceed to Constantinople for orders, and deliver her cargo at Varna, or some other port in the Black Sea. The vessel being three masted was obliged to have her larboard shrouds and backstays loosened to take in her cargo, and was in that state taken into the roadstead to be put all atant, with a part of her crew and a number of lumpers on board, and a pilot, who at the time was intoxicated, when a gale came on, and she was driven on shore, every soul on board, except one, being drowned. The declaration stated that the defendant wrongly and improperly sent the vessel to sea, in an unseaworthy state as regarded the vessel and crew, whereby she was lost, which the de fendant by his pleas denied. Mr. Knowles, Q.C., having been heard in support of the rule, The Court directed its discharge. THO3IPSON AND OTHERS V. GILLESPY. This was a cross action for the freight, and the point reserved for their lordships' opinion was the sailing of the ship. Mr. Baron Parke, at the trial, held there had been no sailing within the meaning of the charter pasty, and it was contended by the defendant that the taking the vessel into the roadstead was not a sailing, but that she was removed there to get her all right, and procure a crew with which to sail. The bill of lad• ing had not been signed. The learned counsel had not concluded their argu ments when we went to press. GROVE V. DARER. 'Before Mr. Justice Wighttnan and a Common Jury This was an actidn'tet - Vecover possession of a horse hearse, mourning coach, and some harness, seized by the sheriff of Surrey under an execution. Mr. Chambers, Q.O , and Mr. Prentice were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Quail' for the defendant. • The plaintiff in this action carried on business in Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, and it appeal ed that he was acquainted with a person named Burridge, a tailor and undertaker, of Union-street, Borough, whom he used occasionally to assist with small loans of money. After advancing him certain sums, Burridge, pre vious to the last advance, sold to the plaintiff the articles in question, with another horse, which were removed from Burridge's premises to those of a person named Perry, the pgintiff paying the expenses on them up to the time of their seizure—Burridge, however, with the consent of the plaintiff, occasionally using them. In April last the Sheriff of Surrey had a writ from a person named Baker against Burridge, and the sheriff's officer seized all the goods, with the exception of a black mare, on which the plaintiff claimed them as his. The sheriff's officer then said he had seized the black mare also, when the plaintiff applied for permission to enlarge his claim, but as the expense of doing so would be more than the mare was worth he abandoned it. The ques tion for the jury was the validity of the plaintiff's claim. The case was not concluded when we went to press. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman.)

DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. HARVEST rROSPECTS. A week of almost continuous rain has already created a decided reaction in the agricultural world, and effec tually calmed the apprehensions of the alarmists, who, not altogether without reason, predicted a late and de ficient harvest as the consequence of the cold and arid weather which characterised the spring season from its opening to the close of the present month. Within a few days the whole face of the country has undergone a favourable transformation, and vegetation has progressed with a rapidity well-nigh marvellous, so that it may now be fairly anticipated that the poorer classes will shortly feel the benefit of the change in a reduction of the prices of the common necessaries of life. The following satis factory report appears in the Mail of Friday night : "The late seasonable change in the weather is attended by the most hopeful improvement in the aspect and promise of the country.
