I Flour I'ares NEWBURY, FEB. 14.—Our supply of wheat to-day is very moderate, and a better feeling was experienced in the trade, most of the supply being early cleared off at an advance of full is per quarter. Barley, large supply, and difficult of sale, except for the best descriptions, at late rates. Beans and peas, with a moderate supply, quite a drug, and late prices barely supported. Oats, good supply, and in better request, at a trifling improvement in value. LivEaroor, FEB. 15.—At this day's market there was a very thin attendance of the trade, and so little business was transacted as to render it unnecessary to alter the quotations of any article, with the exception of oatmeal and Indian corn, which were easier to buy ; 20s Gd per load having been taken for a good parcel of the former article, and 28s per quarter for the latter. Emma, FEB. 15.—Pork Carcases--The supply was mode rate, not more than last week, and prices were hardly so firm. Large cearse pork sold at 6s per score ; ditto of better quality, Gs Gd ; prime bacon pork, 7s ; and small dairy-fed pork 7s 3d to 7s 4d per score. Tallow or Rough Fat—The price of this article to-day is 3d per lb., or 2s per stone.

Corn Ex change, ene o'clock—Up to this hour we note but very little actual besitiest. The gro wers have stood nut for higher p rices than the millers seem disposed to give, but we have not heard that 5s per bushel has been exceeded for the very best war ranted wheat, and good wheat has been sold at from 4s 9d up to this figure. We have again to repeat that in this Market at least the farmers have no competition with the foreigner, inasmuch as there is no foreign wheat on offer. Malting barley is 3s and in some cares a trifle higher 1 oats, Is 9d to 2s per bushel ; fine flour, 27s to 29s per sack of 26.01b5. BaISTOL, FEB. 14.—There was only a very moderate sup ply of English and foreign wh eat, thou g h with an ianproved: inquiry, and previous rates maintained. English wheat sold at 365 to 42s per imperial quarter. Foreign white sold at 44s to 48s ; foreign red, fine, 40s to 435; ditto, ordinary, 37s to 40s; ditto, hard, 35s to 3Ss per 480114. Malting barley was fully Is per quarter lower, and grinding ditto was without alteration. English malting barley sold at 24s to 28s per ins perial quarter; English and foreign grinding sold at 18s 6d to 20s per 4001bs. In the oat trade there was no alteration : Devon and Welsh oats sold at 15s to 16s per imperial quarter ; Irish white 17s to 18s per 3201bs ; Irish black,. 15s 6d to 16s er imperial qearter. Foreign oats none. The bears trade was without improvement. English Beans sold at 28s to 35s per imperial quarter; foreign ditto, 25s to 28s per 406:. 1 2 3 . Flour was a languid trade, at barely previous rates ; English seconds sold at 275 to 2 9 s per s ack ; American sweet, 23s to 24s per barrel. tRiSiOL gUGAN MARKET, FEB.

Joseph Cash was brought before Alderman Humphery upon the charge of having fraudulently obtained, on the 7th instant, from Mr. James W. Benson, jeweller and watchmaker, of No. 16, Cornhill, a gold watch,' value 18 guineas. Mr. Humphreys appeared fir the prosecu tor; a solicitor also appeared for the defence. Mr. Benson said—About three or four weeks ago the prisoner called upon me in my shop, and said he wanted to purchase a watch. I showed him some watches, and he selected one, the price of which was 18/. 18s. Ile then pre tented to me two or three bills, which he took out of his p oc k e t, an d asked me to take one of them in •pyment. I said that whatever business I did I did for ready money, and declined taking toe bill. He then put it in his pocket and went away. Some days afterwards he called again, looked at the watch, and asked me if I would take some of the money, and give him credit fur the rest ? I declined to deal upon such terms; and then he suid he was an agent for a friend of hip, whom ho would bring to see the witch; and he departed. On the 7th instant he called a third time, between Live and six in the evening, and said he cause thee prepared to purchase, and pay for the watch, and I honed it to him. He asked to look at some °bailie, and I showed him gestic, ono of which, a gold gaurd chain, he selected. Thf price of the watch and chain eas agreed upon at 2'2/., and I was going to make out the bill to him, but he said he wished me to put 251. down, as he was desirous to get something by the pur chase. I believed that he was an agent, anti made out the bill for that amount. Ho then - took a cheque-hook from his pocket, and wrote the cheque I produce for 21L 1 ss. , and gave it to me, together with two half crowns, which made the sum 221. I believed.it was a valikipcheque, and asked if it was all right; man then delivered the 'Welch and chain to hire and ho went away. Neat morning I presented the cheqae, and was informed that fhere wereano effects; and they said et the bank that lie had beck there previously, and they 4014 him his account wad closed. . The same evening he called upon me, end :I explained to 'him that I had presented the clieque, and that I should nrosepute him if he did not give the 'goods or the money. He then said if I would not •prodeed against him that he would bring the witch or the ruoney next day; but he brought neither, and I accordingly applied for a warrant and had him apprehended. Upon his cross-examin a ti on by t h e pr i soner ' s solicitor, the witness, said the prisoner had had a trantaction, to a trifling amount, with him previguily. He would have proceeded against the prisoner before,' but he expected that he should get back the watch. - Hayden, the officer, apprehended the prisoner, and found upon him a policy of insurance and some papers. In a diary found in the pAsoner's'pocket was the follow ing notice, under the head of the Bth of February Mr. Thoinas, lent on a watch, 17/." Witness told him 'he had soon "d4oied of the watch after. he had obtained possession of it,• and he replied, "`I borrowed 171. upon it," . - The prisoner's solicitor submitted-that.the prosecutor had given credit to the prisoner in the transaction, as was evident from the slowness of the process Of the pro secution, and that there was no satisfactory proof that be had no money at his banker's. Alderman HIMPHERY said it was quite clear that the property had been fraudulently obtained. The prisoner's solicitor Said the 'fact was, his client was, at the time of his apprehension, going to. raise money to pay for the watch upon his, policy of assurance. Alderman HIII!dPIIERY examined the policy, and said that nobody in his senses would lend 408. upon such a document. - The prisoner was then 'remanded. GUILDHALL. , . BRUTAL, TREATMENT OF A CHILD.—OR Wednesday last Mr. •Inspector Howard presented himself before the sitting. Alderman with a child (an intelligent boy, 'bi-.. tween five and six years of age), and stated that he had been fmnd in Skinueritreet, Snow-hill. •On examining the child's person it was found that he bad been most cruelly beaten from held to foot, and over the hand, army, and isa Borne parts of the face. The sitting 'Alderman directed it to be taken to.the West London, Union, and Mr. Chamberlain, the relieving officer, who happened to be prezent,'instantly said that *per at tention should be,paid to the child, and a rewatd olered for the appreliansien of its parents. This was done, and yesterday Mr. Inspector Howard stated that there was a female in court who claimed the child. A young woman who gave her name as Elizabeth Summer scud she had made applicationfor the child, and that she lived at No. 4, Gray's Inn. Alde'rman HUNTER— What are you ? Summers —I am houtelesper to the gentlenian who says he is the father of the child. Alderman IlwrEtt—Whqta3 his name? Summers—l shall act tell. 44 4 .-4Alderrean HugtErt--ralliitC'aution yOu that if you do not answer I must commit you to prison, for this is a very serious case, and the ends of justice shall not be de feated. After considerable evasion and hesitation the female said that the person to whom she acted as houseiterper was Mr. Kenealy, barrister, of 4, South-square, Gray's inn, and asserted that ho h the person who represents himself to be the father of the child, .I.le was in the habit of dressing and undresiing it. Th e c hild was seen last on Wedlesday, about half-past twelve o'clock, and his father was out. Alderman IluNTEß—When did you last see the father? Summers—He went to Ireland on Monday. Alderman lluNmen—Were you or his father in the habit of beating the child? Summers—Never. Ho is a very good boy, and when I washed him on Wednesday I saw no marks about hitt,. The child was here confronted with Summers, and al though she tried by a coaxing gentle tone cf voice to induce the child to return with her, he said he would not, for she would take him to the gentleman who beat him so cruelly. The case was allowed to stand over, and Inspector Howard went off to Mr. Kenealy's chambers. On his return he stated that he found the offices locked. A girl said that he could not bo out of town, for she had seen him that morning, and that he kept no clerk. Alderman HUNTER said this was so serious a case, that, however sorry he might be, he must detain the female who had come to claim the child. It had re ceived most horrible treatment, and for the sake of the ends of justice, as she seemed so unwilling to .give evidence, he should detain her until Wednesday next, unless she could find two sureties in 50/., and herself in 1004 The sureties not being forthcoming she was taken to the Compter, and the further investigation was postponed until Wednesday. BOW-STREET. FORGERY UPON THE ADMlRALTY.—Yesterday liam John R. Smith, of St. Thomas-terrace, Newcastle upon-Tyne, formerly a clerk in the Admiralty, and an other individual, were brought up in the custody of Inspector Field, detective officer, and placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with obtaining money to the amount of 531. 12e. 10d. by means of forged documents purporting to be signed by the authorities in the colonies for the passage and sustenance of distressed British sea men to this country. Mr. Sweinson, assistant-solicitor to the Admiralty, in briefly stating the case, said that the prisoners were charged with two distinct cffences under the 11th Geo. IV., cap. 20, s. 82, the attention of the authorities being drawn to the circumstance of several forgeries having been committed and large sums obtained by such means. When seamen became distressed at a distance from this country, upon obtaining an order from the proper authorities a free passage and sus tenance to this country were granted them, the captain of the vessel in which they were conveyed being entitled, upon making the neces sary declaration, to ls. per head. The prisoner Smith had been employed as a clerk in the Accountant-general's department, from which he was discharged, and he had the means of knowing the manner in which such claims were established, one of which having been made by an assumed agent, and signing the name " Walter Bevis," for the amount in question, an investigation took place, and there being no doubt that such signature and the bodies of the documents bore a strong resemblance to Smith's handwriting, suspicion naturally fell upon him. The:other prisoner was found in his company, but he was not aware that any charge could be distinctly proved against him, although the constables were induced to take him also into custody, on the presumption that he was concerned in the forgeries. Mr. Antonio Brady, a clerk in the Accountant-Gene rel's office in the Admiralty, at Somerset House, said that Smith had formerly been employed under him, and being reported for misconduct, he was discharged in the month of April, 1847. The documents produced, pur portieg to be signed by the secretary to the Governor of Ceylon, who happened at present to be in town, were received at the office for the expenses incurred in bring ing home distressed seamen, and to the best of his belief wore all in the handwriting of the prisoner Smith. The declaration in support of such payments was an entire fabrication, there never havin g b een suc h s hi ps, nor was the name of the agent or captain mentioned in it known, in eddition to which a memorandum was found in the prisoner's possession relating to the several documents. The Inspector said that he was at the Admiralty on the morning when a young man came in and asked to for the papers bel o n g in g t o M r . Bevis, and being told_ call again he went away, followed by Sergeant Thorn t a'iother detective officer. Thornton proved that he followed cery-lane, where he was joined b b 5 th m e i p tb e , rs t 7 d to a C ft h er an a short conversation be went away;- into Fleet-street, he went with the yu o t t S h e m r t p h r h i s n o v n e .11 ; , gore who t where Smith was identi fiedand they drove . to a publie 170ausswe ainitii3nguefkoirp.gh by the h iln am in -street, officials belonging to the Admiralty after ho attempted to escape.

The sale con tinues to proceed very satisfactorily, and but for the fact that large quantities of property arrive daily from Bushey, the mansion would have been cleared of its con• tents long since. It is intended to proceed with the sale this day, but the mamion will not be open to the public until 12 o'clock on Monday next; this arrangement being necessary in consequence of the wings of the building and servants' offices being thrown open for the first time on that day. BeiIGHTON, LEWES, AND TONBRIDGE-WELLS RAlLWAY.—Yesterday, upwards of 500 out of the 1,800 shareholders liable as contributories to pay off the out standing claims of this concern, amounting to upwards of 5,0001., were summoned before the Master in Chan cery, Sir William Horne, to show cause why they should not be held liable as contributories. The court was in sufferably full. It was contended on the part of several shareholders, that the allotment of shares was illegal, the shares having been allotted by one or two only out of the seven persons constituting the committee for that purpose, no entry of whose appointment appeared on the books; and that the shares were allotted precipitately after the panic, and by two persons only, who had neither of them taken their qualification as directors, nor paid the deposit on their shares. Nalder, the secretary, was called to show that these persons were delegated by the larger body to allot. The Master decided that the allot ment was good; that ali who were simple allottees were liable, and that the company came judicially within the jurisdiction of be Act. The Newmarket Protectionist Society held their annual meeting at the Rutland Arms Inn, in that town, on Tuesday, where a dinner was provided. The chair was occupied by Mr. R. D. Fysou, president of the society. When the cloth was drawn a report was read, which contained a quantity of figures designed to show that, during the past year, ninety millions have been taken f soma the pockets of the home producers by free trade legislation A number of speeches containing statements of a like veracious character were delivered; long list of toasts having been disposed of, the across —_ setting to the soul,- _ " Thursday, 23—Weather . westward; no apparent change to be observeu tee trum tho top of highest mount, in Barrow's Strait or auu --- Regent's Inlet; ice extending from point to point across meetiug b - roke ut , muuth.

Bamford, from the o ffi ce of kr. Maule, the Tree. Bury solicitor, attended to conduct the prosecution. It may be recollected that, at the fordier examination, evidence was adduced of a conversation which had taken place between the prisoner and a woman named Bartho lomew, whose husband, then recently deceased, had been a member of the same benefit society to which the mitt Merritt belonged; in the course of which the prisoner, in reference to a complaint from the former, that she had only received 71. 10s. from the funds of the society, in wend of a sum of 101., to which those who are termed " full members" are entitled, expressed her confident belief that she herself would receive the maximum al lowance in the event of anything happening to her own husband. Inspector Coward now said that, in consequence of ail observation which had fallen from the prisoner on a pre vious occasion, to the effect that she knew where bey husband': benefit society's book was kept, he had since visited the house, and on examining the place discovered the book produced in one of the drawers of a table in the sitting room; and James Hurry, secretary to the burial club in question, deposed to his having received a message from the prison er on t h e very morning of her husband's death, in pursuance of which he proceeded to her house, and intimated that ho would leave an order with the steward for the immediate payment of lislf the amount she was entitled to receive, but at the same time expressed his regret at the premature death of her hut- Lad, as she would have received the full amount of IW. instead of 71 10 to which she was then only entitled; had ho survived but five days longer. Alderman, the gaoler, was then examined, and Meted, that of.er the removal of the prisoner to one of the coil s at the conclusion of the former bearing, she urgently en tiered him to listen to her for atew moments, as she had no one to speak to her, and wishedtomekeadisclosure o f eitcuaistances she was anxious the cottgiatrate should be apprised of. She den adverted to the feet of her havine surieetitiously pledged a lar g e qu a ntity of pro-• perty ' be!onging to a lodger in her home, the duplicates for which had been produced in court, and proceeded to say that everything she had stated relative to the un happy transaction was perfectly correct, with the excep tion of a declaration she had made to Inspector Coward, that she had not purchased the poison, whereas the truth was that she had done so, and that she subsea ; quf.ntirtook it out of the papers, labelled " Poison," in which it had been served to her by the druggist, which she'at once destroyed, and having screwed the poison up in-another paper, placed it in the cupboard amongst' notree packets of tartaric acid and sods, which her hus band was in the h a bi t o f ta ki ng. She stated further that she had _purchased the poison in a sudden pet, but , without any serious intention of. taking it herself, or ' giving it to her husband, who, if he had takea it at all, roust have done so in mistake, and that she bad subse quently removed the whole of the packets, and thrown - them into the fire; but whetser this occurred Were or after her husband's death she did not specify. The - prisoner's snn, an intelligent little boy, eight . years of age, who was erroneously stated, at the conclu sion of the coroner's inquest, to have suddeely died since the apprehension of his mother, .was now present in the clothing of the Haekney Union workhouse, of which he has since been an inmate; and it was understood that he would be able to give very material evidence in support of the charge; but-the Crown solicitor, after subjecting --„ him to an examination in the Magistrate's private room, deemed it inexpedient at present to place him in the witness box. Mr. ARNOLD thou asked the.prisoner if she wished to• make any observations in answer to the charge,_after the usual caution that she was not bound to say anything, but that what she did say would be taken down in writ in; and used as evidence against her at the trial. The prisoner, in a low monotonous tone, then said—l have nothing more to sa y th an t h a t I never intended my husband to take the poison. At the time I bought it I intent:ed to have taken it myself, if_ he had come home as he had . - dOne . for several nights before, as I could not live any longer such a life as he had led me. He came home afterwards very comfortable, and I thought no more of it till the Saturday following, when I burnt the' whole of it, as it came into my mind that he might have taken it himself, instead ofthe soda he was fn the hibit of using. As for giving it to him, I never thought of such a thing, and as to doing anything to harm him, God forbid ! I had always don© the contrary. This statement of the prisoner was reduced ha writing and handed to her, who subscribed it with her signature without the slightest tremour or itesitsticin, as main tained the acme collected detnennour and remarkable self-possession that she had manifested throughout the proceedings. - The vola' minouq &positions of the witnesses were then read over by Mr. Johnstoue, the second clerk, and the prisoner Was fully committed to Newgate for trial upon the charge of " Wilful Murder."

THE BOARD OF HEALTH. A very numerous deputation from the Metropolitan Sanitary Association waited, by appointment, upon the General Board of Health, at Gwydyr House, yesterday, for the purpose of presenting the memorial agreed to at the public meeting held at the Free masons' Hall on Wednesday week. One of the main objects of the memorial, it will be remembered, was to impress upon the board the necessity of including the metropolis within the provisions of the Public Health Act. The deputation was h ea d e d b y L ord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., Mr. Sl aney , M.P., Sir William Cloy, M.P., and Mr. Wyld, M.P. Mr. Slaney, Mr. W:eld, and Dr. Gavin, briefly ad dressed the board in reference to the necessity which existed for a constant supply of water to all parts of the metropolis, and to the increasing mortality during the last four years. The Earl of CARLISLE, on behalf cf the board, agreed with th e d e p u t a ti on that it would be very dis astrous if no further attempt. were made to remedy the sanitary condition of London. The time of the Board of Health had been given incessantly to the objects they bad before them during the past year, and it was now specially devoted to matters con nected with the improvement o f the sanitary condi tion of London. It wa s not in his power now, as a me mber of the Government , to s tate the exact time or order in which it may be found possible to sub mit legislative procee din g s to the cognizance of Par liament ; but he trusted that very littl e t ime would be lost before a beginning in that course is made. ame of amending gpoo ther , and Nuisances Re moval The Rev.
