Since Monday the arrives of English Wheat for our market have been moderate, viz , 4,590 quarters, and the show of first samples, as well as that of those left over from Mondav i was moderately good. For all descriptions of that articl,, the demand was in a very sluggish state, the millers refusing to purChase except on lower terms. The supply of fine Foreign Wheat on offer was small, yet the trade with it was heavy, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. In corn, under lock, we have no sales to report. The hest parcels of Barley moved off steadily; other kinds slowly, at late rates. The finest Malt went off in retail, at pry imis quotations; other kinds long on h an d. B eans an d i fens command e d a steady 1-ale, at very , full prices. The Oat ' trails was brisk, at a further rise in value of Is. per quarter. Flour comrn2ztded full currencies.

The Cambridgeshire betting was more than usually brisk, taking its character, however, from the number of horses backed rather than from the actual amount of business transacted.

Needful, Mongrel, Titmouse, Rowena, Everton, Lady Semiseria, Devil's Dust, Lyons, Secundus, Stamp, Ironmaster, Young Lochinvar, and Example. The "lions" were The Baron, Alarm, Wolf-dog, Chertsey,,Ould Ireland, Flattery, and Best Bower.- The Irish crack, notwithstarding his owner's declaration on Monday, was backed at 5 to 1,9 to 2, and finally at 4 to 1, eagerly ; Alarm at 10, 9, and 8 to I.in several quarters, but layers at the finish ; Ould Ireland at various prices, the highest 35 to 1, the closing one 18 Idl ; Flattery and Best Bower . came late in the day at 50 to I, an d left off " great pots" at 33 to 1.

SEIZURE OF Two ILLICIT STILLS, AT ENFIELD.— Yesterday, at a Petty Sessions, held before Mr. Williams, jun. (Chairman), and Mr. 'Williams, sen., at Enfield. James 'Wil lie, who described himself as a labourer, was brought up, in the custody of the police of the N division, on a charge of having been found in the possession of two illicit stills, which were at work at the time. The stills were erected in an old mill, at Turner's end, and which was nearly surrounded by several moats, being also in a very secluded spot. it ap peared from the evidence, that on Monday morning last, about seven o'clock,- in consequence of information received by Inspector Mellish, of the N division, from police-constab'e Hannant, N 325, he went to Turner's-end, accompanied by sergeants Harrison, Watkins, and Emery, with Peter Mann, an excise officer. He proceeded to a cottage, adjoining the mill, having first stationed his men in front and at the back of the premises. When finding that there was some one at work inside the mill, he burst open the door with a log of wood. He rushed in, followed by his assistant, and discovered the prisoner by a still, in which was a large quantity of mo lasses. They then proceeded to search the interior of the mill, upon which they discovered another still, both being able to contain 40 gallons each. They also found 500 gallons of wash, 150 gallons of yeast, between 5 and 6 cwt. of mo • lasses, 14 tubs, some of them capable of holding 100 gallons, a quantity of aquafortis, several casks, bladders, &c. ; and the prisoner stated that the profits from the stills were about 201 a day.

The stills were provided with water from the moat, and there was a running stream into which the wash was allowed to escape after distillation.

A great deal of grain still re mains in secure and uncut on high lands, and unless an early change in the weather occurs, a great quantity will be car ried in unfit for use. The fresh winds and cold state of the air, will, we think, prevent any sprouting in what has been stacked. Gathering of the stock of potatoes has com menced here, and every one is satisfied with the abund ance and quality. In Inverness they are now selling at 16s per boll, while here we can report no very material rise. We think, however, this advance in the price of potatoes is only temporary, and cannot be maintained unless the reports are realised of extensive shipments being made to those Holland in the south where they have proved a failure, or to Holland and Belgium.

SIIEFFIELD WEDNESDAY.—At the Town-hall yesterday afternoon, before Wilson Overend, E s q., Thomas Wheatl e y, one of the engine drivers en the 'entitled Railway, was charged under 13th section of Lerd Seymour's Act, 3 and 4 Victoria, c. 97, with having negligently driven his engine into the mail train, near the Barnsley station, on Monday morning, and thus endangered the lives of the passengers and the safety of the carriages. Mr. Henry Vickers appeared on behalf of the Company, and Mr. Palfreyman d. fended the prisoner. -. In opening the case. Mr. Vickers said, I am instructed by the Di ectors of the Midland Company to prefer a charge against Thomas Wheatley, engine driver, for having on Mon day morning last, the 20t II inst., about four o'clock, or be tween four and five, negligently driven his engine, called a pilot erigine, and run into the mail train, which he was going to overtake, at the parish of Royston, near Barnsley; and also with having endangered the lives of the passengers and injured the carriages of that train. The short history of the facts is this : —The mail-train from Lond,el to Leeds had reached Darfield and Wath about haf-past flair or five on Monday morning, when it was found that the engine was lamed from the breaking of one of the pistons. The lameness caused a stoppage of the train. At this time a goods train, on the opposite rails, was going towards Derby, and instructions were given to the parties in charge of that train to send a pilot engine from Normanton to follow the mall train, and to take it on to Leeds. After these instructions had been given, the engineof the mail trait: was enabled to work with ()beside or piston, and togoslonrlytowerds Leeds, reaching the Barns ley station, where instructi o ns w e re left with the persons on duty relative to the pilot engine. A short time elapsed be tween the departure of the mail train and the arrival of the pilot engine at the Barnsley station. However, the pilot arrived, and not finding the mail train at Darfield and W ath, instruction was given to the prisoner that the red lights of the mail train had been watched till they disappeared. Those lights . were visible from a position in front of the Barnsley station,. and remained visible for a mile or a mile and a half. Wheatley then proceeded— and I shell show, by two of the guards of the mail train, that the defendant's engine approached rapidly ; and while the mail train was going at the rate of about eight miles an hour, the pilot engine ran into it with great violence. The engine of the mail train was detached; the second carriage much injured ; two men connected with the Leeds police force were much hurt ; Mr. Commissioner Boteler had both his legs broken—and several other pariies more or less injured. The question, I apprehend, will be, how far the man has discharged his duty cautiously or in cautiously, in apprea hing the mail train. The Mieland Company have no vindictive feeling in the matter; and as I am instructed by Sir Isaac Morley, who is present, ate only anxious that the matter should be investigated, and the truth come out. Mr. Palfieyman said that if the Company proceeded under the clause quoted by Mr. Vickers, he might put them in jeopardy, but he should not take that advantage, although the man had been taken to Derby on the day before without any warrant. He was only anxious fur a fair investigation, notwithstanding the constable had acted illegally. . The following witnesses were then examined. John Porter, -sworn.—l am a railway guard to the Mid land. and was guard of the train that arrived at Masborough at four a.m. At the north of Masborough something betel the train between Wath and Darfield.. The engine fell lame, and we were detained 23 minutes. A goo. s train came in an opposite directi, ii, and I sent instructions for the pilot engine to follow us free h. We went on without the pilot. After being detained 20 minutes we went slowly on to Barnsley, where we took in water. We had instruc tions there as to the pilot engine, and left soon afterwards. We had three red lights, in a triangular fOrm, and side lights, and one at the tail, in good condition, and turning. We left about five o'clock. A person named. Blackmore was with-me as guard. vee had proceeded at an average speed of eight or ten miles an hour fom B a rn s l e y, w h en the pilot - engine ran into us about a mile and a half north of Barnsley.

Next to oer tender was my break, then a parcel van, then two second- class carriages, then two first-class carriages, six and seven, Post-office and tender; , ighth, a first-class, and the ninth, a second-class carriage. I found the second-class carriage driven into the hinder com partment of No. 8, and the carriage broken. The Post-office tender was broken also.
