The country markets held on Saturday were very quiet for all descriptions of produce. Selected parcels of wheat were firm in price ; but, as regards inferior qualities, the tendency of prices was somewhat in favour of buyers. Good and fine barley and oats fully supported previous rates, whilst other articles changed hands at late quo tations. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, at full prices, and in the value of spring corn very little change has taken place. The export demand for breadstuffs at New York continues firm, Up to our market last week the arrivals of English pro duce wero but moderate. The inapor s from abroad amounted to 20,107 quarters of wheat, 3,500 barley, 24,258 oats, 5,484 beaus, 1,700 peas, 30 tares, 16 ; 733 linseed, 13,622 rapeseed, 16,372 maise, 41 sacks, and 7,726 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of home grown wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were less ex tensive than on Monday last. Although the show of samples on the stands was very moderate, the trade, both for red and white qualities was in a sluggish state; never theless a Lair clearance had, at the close of bu , iness, been effected, at the rates current o❑ Monday last. The condi tion of the produce exhibited for sale was but middling. The trade :for foreign wheat was very quiet, and the amount of business transacted both in Continental and American produce was small. In prices, compared with Monday last, no alteration took place. Floating cargoes of wheat, maize, and spring corn we re in slow request at late rates. The barley trade, with the exception of the finest malt ing produce, which sold readily at extreme quotations, was very inactive, but without leading to any quotable change in prices from Monday last. The show of samples on the stands was tolerably large. The demand for nearly all descriptions of malt ruled heavy, at about previous rates. Old malt of good and fine quality chiefly commanded attention. With oats the market was welt supplied. About an ave rage business was transacted in most descriptions, and prices ruled firm. Beans were in small supply, yot the trade was in a sluggish state, at about previous quotations. Yeas changed hands at the rates current on Monday last, but the inquiry both for English and foreign produce was somewhat restricted. The flour trade was quiet, on former terms. The supply of barrels on sale was small. for most descriptions of wool, Prices, however, are lower than at the close of last sales, owing to the fall ia the pri vate contract markets, the reduction being, on the average, ld per lb. Scoured Cape wool and grease wool from nearly all quarters is without material change in value from last series. The arrivals aro 79,269 bales, comprising 20,507 bales from Sydney ; 13,347, Victoria; 5,340, Adelaide; 248, Swan River ; 1,891, Tasmania ; 9,514, New Zealand ; and 28,422 bales from the Cape of Good Hope. The total quan tity of wool to be offered at these sales will approximate 90,000 bales. In English wool, privately , an increased amount of business is done, and prices have, in some in stances, slightly improved. Advices from Melbourne state that a few parcels of the new clip had been exhibited for sale, and that shearing in most districts was making rapid progress.

There is one charge of child murder. that of the unhappy young woman who destroyed her illegitimate child in Lambeth by cutting its throat, but the prisoner is not yet committed to Newgate• -- Among the more serious charges is one against a young woman, named Elizabeth Thomp son, of having attempted to murder her child while suffering under delirium tremens. Another is the case of the young man, Frederick Saunders, who stands charged with feloniously shooting . at his brother in-law with attempt to murder him ; and there are several cases of wounding with intent to murder and to do grievous bodily harm. There are also a rather unusual number of cases of bu-glary. The charges against Mr Hammond, the surgeon, and two females residing with him, of having assaulted and imprisoned his wife, under circumstances of a very extraordinary character, will also have to be dis pssed of at this session ; but at the same t me the applica- tion was made for a postponement at the October session, it was intimated that there was a probability that the parties might come to some arrangement. Among the other cases of interest is that of nary Horsiall, who, although a most illi erate persen. had managed to obtain admission to a highly respectable establishment at Blackheath, and, under the representation that she was the niece and heiress of Mr Horsfall, Succeeded in victimising the tradesmen in the neighbout hood to an enormous amcunt, and contrived CURRENCY rEn IMPERIAL MEASURE.

A full average supply of foreign stock was on sale in our market to-day, and its general quality was very middling. Sales progressed slowly at barely last week's prices. The show of English beasts was very moderate, of Scotoh limited, of Irish tolerably large; but the condition of most breeds was by no means first-rate, if we except the arrivals from Scotland. On the whole, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and in some instances prices had a drooping tendency. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s 4d per 81b. A total clearance of the supply was not effected, From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor hampton shire we received 2 , 200 shor t horns, ice.; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland, 140 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 500 oxen and heifers. With sheep we were fairly supplied as to number, and there was a slight improvement in the quality of most breeds. The mutton trade was somewhat heavy at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81b. The best Downs sold at 5s 83 per 81b. We have to report a slow sale for calves—the supply of which was limited—at late rates. There was a fair inquiry for pigs at full prices. . .

' KEEPER —ROBBERIES FROM RAILWAY VANS.—John Pickett, the keeper of a "dolly" or leaving shop in New-street, Golden-square, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with having in his possession a large quantity of valuable property believed to be stolen. About a cart load of property was produced in Court, consisting of wearing apparel, &c. Mr Henry Swan, of Knight Rider-street, Doctors Com mons, attended on the part of Messrs. Boxendale, carrying on business under the style of Pickford and Co„ the exten sive carriers, and Mr Wontner appeared for the prisoner. Mr Swan, in opening the case, said that for some time past Messrs Pickford had been seriously robbed of goods in transit from the country to London and from railway vans, and had had to pay something like £2OO a month for pro perty missing. They had endeavoured to trace the matter, but without success, till Saturday night, when Sergeant Cole, of the C division, succeeded in tracirg some of it to be in possession of the prisoner, and found that he had sold three cloaks, one a seal skin, of the value of £2l, which would be produced and identified. Mr Swan then called Sergeant Coles, 23 C, who deposed— On Saturday night I met the prisoner in Golden-square. I told him I should apprekend him for receiving a black-skin cloak, a quantity of umbrellas, and other articles. The prisoner made no reply, and I handed him over to a con stable, who took him to the station. I then proceeded to 14, New-street, Golden-square, where the prisoner keeps a "dolly" or "leaving" shop, and then commenced searching the place, when I found a large quantity of property in various parts of the shop and parlour, consisting of clothing all new concealed in a bag under the bed, 11 pairs of new boots, 33 yards of sage, 21 new books in a parcel under the drawers, some coats, and some other articles. I found a seal skin cloak and two other cloaks arthe house of a Mrs Foley, who said she had purchased them of the prisoner, and sold them again. Mrs Foley keeps a wardrobe shop. By Mr Wontner—l took most of the property I suspected of being stolen. The prisoner used to be a conductor of an omnibus. I also took £.lO 13s Gd from the prisoner. I found a number of articles in the window. Ido not sus pect some of the things to have been stolen, but I know they have been. Henry Skilliter, in the employ of Messrs Pickford and Co.—l produce a list of goods entrusted to Messrs Pick ford and Co., amongst them a sealskin cloak, produced, of the value of £2l; a second cloak, value £3; a black cloth jacket, braided, value £4; and a piece of ne A blue fl tnnel. The property was received on the 24th of October, and shortly after missed. Mr Swan handed the witness a ring, and the witness 'said—That is one of the rings stolen. It has engraved in side of it " You are one of might." Mr Swan—l have now proved that the things have been stolen frorn i Messrs Pickford and found in the prisoner's possession, and will therefore ask for a remand. Mr Tyrwhitt asked if Mrs Foley was present. Mrs Foley, of Little Pulteney-street. said—l keep a wardrobe shop. I purchased the three cloaks produced of the prisoner on the 28th of October. The parcel was left with a card of the prisoner attached to it. The prisoner afterwards called and said, on my telling him that ho had not left the price, that he wanted £lO for the three cloaks. I told him to call again, and I at first offered him £7, which he said he could not take, and that he wanted £9, but he afterwards took £3, and gave me a bill for them on my pay ing him. There is no date to the bill, but I remember it was on the 28th October. Mr Swan—That is all the evidence I propose to call to day. By Mr Wontner—l had the seal skin cloak lined and cleaned since. I thought I gave a fair price for it. Tho prisoner was then remanded. WESTMINSTER. FORTUNATI DETICTION OF BURGLARS,— Three fellows, who gave the names of Staubtack, Ryan, and Kersh, were placed at the bar, charged with burglariously breaking and entering a dwelling-house at Chelsea. Benjamin Brett, i 3 B, said that a little after two o'clock yesterday morning he Was in White Lion-street, Chelsea, when he saw the three prisoners and another man loitering about, and watched them. He concealed himself behind a wall and then lost sight of the men. The constable on the beat shortly afterwards returning from the station was coming down the middle of the road, when a man whistled, evidently to give somebody a warning, when the prisoners all suddenly rushed out of 3, Queen's-road East. They ran in the direction of the College, pursued by witness and an other constable, calling 44 s top thief," and, finding a man in front of them, they turned back and were taken in charge. Police-constable Case, 142 B, said ho heard the whistle as he approached, and saw the prisoners turn out of 3, queen',s•road East. Mr Partridge— What do you know of the prisonets ? Witness — I know two of thou as being the associates of bad characters and as having been convicted. The third never did any work, Sergeant Brett said that on examining the front of 3, Queen's road East, the shutter barswere found to be sprung, and there were two pieces cut out of the shutters. Mr James Curtis, proprietor of 3 Queen's-road East, said inquiry of the lodger who came in after him he learnt h that it was a coffee-house.

She stands committed upon three charges of obtaining jewelry and other valuables, and, no doubt, others will be brought forward. There is one very peculiar charge in the calendar, in which a person named Anderson, and a quack doctor who goes by the name of Dr Henery, are charged, under a recent statute, with misdemeanour in having threatened to publish a certain libellous matter concerning Mr Montagu Clark, a captain in the army,who had impudently got into the hands of the de fendant Henery, with a view to extort money. There is alto another peculiar charge of fratid against a prisoner named Augustine William Beauclerk, who describes him. self as a member of the Christian Church of Christ of Jeru salem, who is accused of obtaining money by the false re- presentation that he was under-secretary to the Bishop of London, and who also represented himself to bo "special messenger" to Cardinal Wiseman, Besides these charges of fraud there is one of the same description against two persons named De Witt and Wright, the charge against them being one of obtaining a very largo quantity of wine, of the value of many thousands of pounds, by means of fraud and forgery. The Recorder charged the grand jury, and in the course of his observations referred to some of the above cases, and very shortly after the trials commenced. Ed ward Fuller, engineer, was indicted for stealing two brushes and a piece of flannel, the property of the London and South Western Railway Company. There was also a charge against Thomas Smith of receiving the said pro perty, well knowing it to have been stolen,but did not sur render to his bail. The evidence to support the indictment having been heard, The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Mr ft.ibton , who appeared for the prosecution, said three were two other indictments against the prisoner, but a Smith bad not surrendered he had to ask that sentence might be postponed until next session. The Recorder said it had been stated that a quantity of property had been found at the prisoner's house, he should like to know of what that property consisted. Mr Itibton said the property consisted of a great many things, such as oil, grease, So., in weight exceeding a ton. It was discovered at Cudham, in Kent, where the prisoner occupied a small farm, under the nama of Fidler. The farm was managed for the prisoner by the man Smtth, to whom he paid X 1 a week, but as this person was not then in court he thought if the proceedings with respect to other indictments were postponed he had no doubt he would be in attendance. The Recorder asked if the man Smith was in an 3 way prevented at tending to-day. Mr Ribton said he was in custody on another charge. The learned gentleman engaged to defend Smith said, his client was out shooting, and some charge respecting the identity of a gun prevented his attendance that day. The Recorder, under the circumstances, postponed pass ing sentence this Session. ILLEGALLY OBTAINING A CHEQUE - BOOK.-Arthur Law a young man lately engaged as orderly clerk to the 3rd London Rifle Corps was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering a demand for a cheque-book for Colonel Alfred B. Richards, the commanding officer of the corps, with intent &a. The evidence showed that an order for a cheque-book from Colonel Richards was presented by the Agra and Masterman's Bank where tb3 funds of the corps were kept, and no doubt being entertained of the genuineness of the order. The book was delivered to him. In a short time after some cheques torn from the bank-book were presented, properly filled up and purporting to be signed by Colonel Richards, at the bank and paid. It was afterwards dis• covered that five forged cheques had been paid, and the handwriting of the order and signature " A. B. Richards," being believed to be the handwriting of the prisoner, he was given into custody and charged with the offence. Colonel Richards and other members of the corp having been examined, The prisoner, who conducted his own defence, made a long and rambling speech in which ho totally denied the charges brought against him. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press, University Intelligence. OXFORD, Nov. 18.

" TIIE WORLD OF MAGIC."—The Commercial Travellers' schoole, Pinner, boys and girls, as well as 700 other children belonging to the various metropolitan schools, were invited free by Professor Anderson to witness his eleventh matinee, on Saturday afternoon, at the St. James's The house was crowded in every part. The Tribunal of Correctional Police, on Friday last, condemned a 111„ de X, to a fine of 50f and costs for sending bank notes in a letter by the post without going through the formalities required by the law. The gentle man, in his defence, said that he had put on the letter the five seals, and had marked the amount oI the notes on the outside, tolling his cook to take it to the post and have it registered. '1 he woman doubtless mistook the word charganca for affranchiseincnt, and putting two postage stamps on the letter threw it into the box. The President recommended the gentleman on a future occasion not to trust to a servant what he could better do himself. _ _ --- The Court of Lyons has just given its decision on an appeal made by the proprietors of the Mouche steamboat against their recent condemnation for homicide through negligence. It will be remembered that the boat swayed on passing under a bridge, the passengers rushed on one side, the balustrade broke, and a good many fell into the water and were drowned. The sentence of imprisonment against 8.1. Chaize was reduced to two months, and the two partners were ordered to pay the costs between them. M. Plasson had been sentenced by the Court below to the pay ment of a fine only, but on an appeal by the Procureur• General, the Court decided that the punishment was not in proportion with the oflance, and ordered M. plaabon to to imprisoned for a month and a half also. CRYSTAL PALACE.—HALF-A=CROWN DAY.—On Saturday the admissions on payment were 924 i ditto by season tickets, 3,lo4—totql, 4,028, ASTRONOMY IN THE ELISENTH CENTURY. — M. last week presented to the Academy of Sciences the third volume of the astronomical works of Alphonse X., King of Castile, published by Don M. Rico y Sinobas. It consists of various treaties translated from the Arabic by order of that monarch, viz., a treatise on the universal luminary Astrolabe of Toledo ; the Azafeha of Seville, the Book of the Seven Planets. a treatise on a Universal Planetarium, and another on the astro nomical quadrant. All these were written in the eleventh century, that is, two hundred years before the reign of Alphonse, who caused them to be added to his "Great Book on the Knowledge of the Heavens." The treatises on the astrolabe were written by Azarquiel, a well-known astronomer of Toledo, remark for the simplicity of his style. his practical knowledge, and his rejection of tale thoories. Azarquiel improved the spherical astrolabe of Hipparchns by adding alidadas or sights, quadrants, and trigonometrical lines, dividing the radius into 60 parts instead of 60,000, the division adopted by Regiomontanus. His work also contains numerous rules and problems solved by his two ezafehas astro labes. The treatises on the planets are equally re markable, from the fact that they contain cer tain important data closely resembling thoss we owe to the period of Kepler. The instruments described in them con sisted of metallic circular plates provided with sights, and upon which the orbits of each of the planets were delineated. From these it appears that the Arabian astronomers endea voured to discover the real figure of the planetary orbits. The result at which Azarquiel and Aboulcacin arrived was an oval orbit for Mercury, while Kepler, several centuries later, found an elliptical one for Mars. Kepler followed up his immortal laws as the truth ful expression of the motion of the heavenly bodies, but Azarquiel, in his book written at so remote a period as the eleventh century, says in the simplest language that the curve described by Mercury, though difficult to find, owing to the many lines it reqt.tires, is the best for observing Mer cury in its irregular motion in the heavens, This opinion, though clearly expressed and geographically represented, remained barren and neglected from the 11th to the 17th century, when Kepler published his "Laws" and " Rudol phine Tables." FREEEIv G OF THE BLACK SEA.—In M. de Tehi • [ hatchet's interesting work, "Le Bosphore et Con stantinople," we find the following curious information concerning the Black Sea, and the possibility of its ever being frozen over. History records seventeen instances of the partial congelation of its vast surface since the beginning of the Christian era, viz , in 401, 753, 739, 755, 762, 928, 931, also about 950, and in the reign of the Emperor Basilius, and then in 1232, 1620, 1669, 1755, 1823, 1849, and 1862. The year 762 is positively men tioned by historians as having witnessed the all but total congelation of the Euxine. Ovid, indeed, who lived in exile on its shores between the years 7 at d 17 of our era, asserts that within that period the mouths of the Danube were frozen up ; but since the remarkable year 762 there is no positive evidence of their having ever been so. In speaking of that year the Patriarch Nicephorus states that the ice was 13 metres in thickness I M. Da Tchihat chef very justly remarks that at Brussels, which is about nino degrees more to the north than Constantinople, the ico has never, iu the severest winters, attained a thickness of more than half a metre. Reducing, therefore, the Byzantine historian's extraordinary statement even to half the amount, oar author is of opinion that there must have been at least 20 degrees contigrade of cold (four degrees below Fahrenheit's zero). He further remarks on the curious circumstance that the severe winters of the region of the Black Sea, above recorded, have very seldom coincided vi ith thoee remarked in other parts of Europe. Thus, for instance the Adriatic was nearly frozen over in 859 and 1234, dates which do not correspond with any of the years mentioned above. Hence he thinks it more than probable that the great frosts of the Enzine must have been owing to local causes, especially as the northern coasts are subject to much lower temperatures than the southern ones, and much more so than difference of latitude might warrant. SCENE IN MCSSELBURGI3 COURT.—A COUN ciLLon. AT BAR.--At this Court on Friday, Provost Lawrie presided, supported by his brother magistrates, Messrs Charles, Feerns, and Leitch. The first called was one of assault against Councillor A. Millar. Upon the complaint being read the defender was asked to plead, when he said ho was not guilty. Several witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that on a recent day, when the defender was carrying furniture from a cart into his shop a numb.rir of boys were playing on the footpath, when one of their number was kicked by the defender twice or thrice, The magistrates found the case proved, and sentenced the accused to pay a fine of 20e, or suffer twenty days' imprisonment. Councillor Millar paid the fine, and asked the Provost what ho was to do when annoyed in his business by boys playing about his shop-door. In addressing the Provost, the defender stood at the bar with his hands in his trousers pockets. The Pro vost said—Sir, take your hands out of your pockets, and stand in a respectful manner; if you don't, sir, I shall commit you for contempt of Court. Councillor Millar—l have paid my fine, and I think I have a right to stand how I like. Provost Lawrie—Sir, it' you say another word, I'll commit you, Councillor Millar remained quiet, but still in the same position, until the sentence was read by the clerk, when Mr Millar turned round saying, "Good-bye, gentle. men." The business of the Court was then proceeded with. —Scotsman. LONDON NCII3ES.—Oh! for the pen of Gay or honest Stow to chronicle all the noises that make the sublime hubbub of mighty London 1 The din is so perpetual, that we who live iu the city have learned to dis regard it. Seldom, indeed, do we reflect on all the consti tuents of the general uproar, the key-note of which seems to be the rattle of cabs and omnibuses over the granite, accompanied, now and then, with the labouring, crunching, heavy bass of Pickford's waggons grind ing all the stones to powder in their progress. Over these rise the resounding blows of the smith's hammer riveting iron bolts into girder bridges; the shrill screech of the railway whistle, the chiming of church bells, and, pre-eminently, the sonorous throat of old Paul's, with the grand swel of the melodious monster in the clock tower of Westminster, which may be heard with a fair wind, half over London; the rustle of autumn leaves, the patter of the descending rain, and the dolorous sighing of the east wind as it beats against the churches; anon, something more familiar strikes the ear—the cheerful chirrup of the sparrow among the house tops, the whistle of the errand boy going to his morning's work, or tho wild laugh of the wanton mocking at her own despair ; then the rifle bands break in with their stirring melody, and the tramp of martial footsteps vibrates down the lung street.

The following appeared in our Late Edition of Sa turday evening TOe Queen's Advocate commenced his summing up of the the evidence for the respondent. He dwelt with much force on the evidence of Miss Faith:ull—he could hardly reconcile manyof her statements, and least ci f all ceuld he under stand her feelings when, after the Admiral bad made an a tt ac k upon her virtue in his wife's bed, she should write to end address h!ria ae "Dear lie-;:,-," and conclude her letters "Yours affectionately." The canduct of Admiral Codrington, it must be admitted, in committing hims e lf i n the manner described, would naturally lead to the opinion that he at least was not entirely blameless, even at that particular period. He contended that no one act of adultery, elleged to hive be-n committed at Tilt Ita, had been proved by a single w:tness whose charaeger bed not been greatly damaged ; end then with respect to the charge at the Grosvenor Hotel, who was there to grove it? Not a single servaut from that establishment or from Eccleston.. square bad been placed in the box, and the charge therefore had resolved itself into mere vague assertion, which no men of the most limited intelligence would for one moment be. lieve. It was admitted that Mrs Codrington was a person given to indulgence in very inflated and extravagant lan guage, yet what had been the nee made of that knowledge ? Why, to torture and to twist her language to the worst purposmi, and that, tee, by the worst means. He trusted they would by their verdict in some measure put an end to the ctuel persecution to which she had been a victim. Mr Price summed up for Colonel .6 nderson. He said that Lieutenant Galway had entirely disposed of the eNI - of John Roe, and that in the most satisfactory man ner. •Lieut. Galway had offered himself for cross-examina tion, and yet his learned friend had not ventured to put a single question to him. Roe had slated that the gross act to which he had spoken was committed previews to the leaving of Mrs Codrington for Valetta. Yet what did the evidence of Lieut. Galway prove? Why, that he was with her and her friends the whole of the even ing until 10 minutes past 12, and that Mrs Codrington never for one minute left their company until she arrived at Mrs Adams's. Which, he would ask the jury, would they believe—a man who, according t 3 hie own statement, had some doubts about the matter, it a gentleman of character and position, end one holding her Majesty's commission. Roe, they must bear in mind, west one of those witnesses examined abroad; they had, there fore, no means of cross-examining him, or the probability was that he might even have been compelled to have given a different complexion to his statement. However, he felt certain the jury would come to a right and just conclusion, and he left his case with the greatest confidence in their hands. Mr Bovill asked whether it would not be better to adjourn at that point of the proceedings. He could not by any possibility oonclude his reply on the whole CEtt33 that day, The Jadge Ordinary said the learned counsel had bettor begin at all events; it was much to be desired that the case should be concludcl at the next sitting of the Court. If Mr Bovill could give any idea of the length of time he wes likely to occupy in his reply, it would be a matter of the greatest convenience. Mr Bovill said about two hours or two hours and a half. The Judge Ordinary, under the promise that Mr Bovill would not exceed the time he had mentioned in making hie reply, then adjourned the further hearing of the case until Wednesday next. Throughout the day the court was crowded elmost to suffocation. SHIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Nov. 21 —Wind this day at noon—South. West ; moderate breeze and foggy weather.
