The supplies of wheat on offer in the leading country markets held on Saturday were only moderate ; yet the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, on lower terms. Barley and other spring corn, including flour, were lower to pur chase. Very little change has taken place in the value of flour in the French markets; but in the north of Europe, prices have continued to give way. Our American advice' state that the export trade was by no means active. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were only moderate. From abroad, we received 11,892 quarters of wheat ; 7,427 barley ; 19,318 oats ; 1,954 rye ; !,096 beans ; 2,020 peas ; 4,020 linseed ; 2,384 rapeseed; 15 mustard seed; 505 sundry seeds, 918 sacks and 4,108 barrels of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, from Essex, Kent, icc., coastwise, was unusually small, and the arrivals by land carriage were very mode rate; henoe the show of samples, of both red and white, was trifling. There was, however, no disposition shown on the part of the millers to operate, and the transactions were, consequently, wholly in retail, at about last Mon day's decline in the quotations. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the stands. The trade was certainly not quite so heavy as on Monday last, yet no improvement took place in the quo tations. _ . . Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. The show of barley was seasonably good. Fine dry samples were scarce, and in moderate request, at last week's quotations. Inferior qualities sold at irregular currencies. Malt moved off slowly, at the late decline in value. We have to notice a slight; improvement in the oat trade, at previous rates. The show of samples was less extensive. Beans were in moderate supply and heavy request, at last week's prices. There was only a limited inquiry for peas, on former terms. .... The flour trade was heavy. In some instances, American flour sold at a reduction of ls. per barrel. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The beasts came to hand in very middling condition, but the quality of the sheep and calves was good. The arrivals of beasts froth up from our own grazing districts were seasonably extensive, and we observed a decided improvement in their general weight and condi tion. Owing to the continued decline in the value of rough fat and raw hides, the beef trade ruled heavy. The primest breeds were 2d, other qualities 2d to 4d, per 81bs lower than on Monday last. The best Scots sold at 45 9d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 3,100 short horns; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds; from Scotland, 150 Scots; and from Ireland, SEO oxen. We were fairly with sheep, and their general condition was good, especially that portion of the supply derived from Lincolnshire. All breeds moved off slowly, at Fri day's decline in value of 2d per 8113 s. The top figure was 5s 2d per 81bs. From Ireland, via Liverpool, 300 sheep cane fresh to hand. We were moderately well supplied with calves, and the veal trade ruled heavy. at 2d to 4d per 81bs beneath last Monday's currency. The top price of veal was 5s per Blbs.

William Fitz, a well-known thief, was brought before Mr. Bea don, charged vtith being found in the house, No. 11, Great Newport-street, Newport-market, for the purpose of committing a felony. It appeared from the evidence that the house in ques tion is at present nneccupied, and that on Saturday night, about half-past seven, the complainant, George Brown, who has charge of the house, saw the prisoner go deliberately up to the front door, which witness had but a few minutes before secured by a Bramah lock, unlock it, and walk in. Witness, on recovering frern his surprise at such a circumstance, ran over, and having called the prisoner, asked him who he was and what he wanted there. The prisoner replied, " I want Mr. Walker." " Hookey," rejoined the prosecutor, "you must go with me to the station." The prisoner strongly objected to this, shook himself from his grasp, and ran away. Prosecutor followed, calling out " Stop thief," as far as St. Martin's-lane, where he was stopped by a constable, and taken into custody. Lees 199 C proved apprehending the prisoner, and found on him a paper of matches, a piece of ,was taper, and a knife. Constable 331 A said the prisoner was a well-known thief. In the month of September, 1855;he was pre sent when the prisoner was convicted and Sentenced to two years' imprisonment for a burglary in Cre,ribourne street. The prisoner then gave the name of Riker, which was his real name. The prisoner said that was a lie ; Baker was dead. Mr. Beadon, without any comment, committed pri soner for three months. WESTMINSTER. Dos STEALIN6.—John Baker, a flash looking fellow, was charged with stealing a valuable house-dog, the pro perty of William Henry Gore Langton, Esq., M.P. for Bristol. William Quick, of Ennicmore Mews, Prince's Gate, helper in the stables of Lady Hawken, said that at 10 minutes past eight this morning he was standing near Prince's Gate, when he observed the dog. Prisoner then came up and by some means enticed the dog to follow him to a rather secluded spot where he pat a chain and collar on the animal and led him away. As witness knew the dog to be Mr. Langton's, he followed the prisoner into Sloane-street, and meeting with a police constable gave bina into custody. Prisoner abused wit ness and asked him what he'd got to do with the dog. Henry Robertson, butler to Mr. Langton, identified the animal. Mr. Paynter—What is its value. Witness —Intrinsically it may not be worth more than a pound, but Mr. Langton would not take any money for it. It is a very old and faithful creature, and has been in the family many years. A police-constable said that when the prisoner found bitntelf about to be taken into custody, he whipped off the collar from the dog's neck, and put it in his coat pocket, after which he kicked the poor animal and made it run away. Witueas examined prisoners coat for the collar and chain for some time in vain, and at length discovered that one of his pockets had no bottom to it. Mr. Paynter—ls the prisoner known ? Inspector Craplin, of the B division--We believe be is, and wish a remand for a few days. Remanded according y. THAMES. CAUTION TO PEDESTRIANS. —Bridget Driscoll, a vulgar looking and dirty prostitute, living at No. 2, Bull's buildings, Brook-street, Ratcliff, was brought before Mr. Self", charged with stealing a purse containing a half sovereign and half a crown from the person of Mr. Charles Nicholls, residing No. 7, St. Andrew's-terrace, 1 - I,odes well-road, Limehouse. Mr. Nicholls said that he was on his way home at two o'clock yesterday (Sunday) morning, and was ac costed by the prisoner in Margaret-street, Limehouse. She asked him for 6d. to obtain a cup of coffee, and he took out a purse to give her one, and directly she re ceived it she snatched the puree from him. He demanded kis per-e and money, and she rclused to give it to him. He walked along; lie of her until hs wet with a police man, and then gave her into custody. Mr. SeUe—flow came you to give her a sixpence I Mr. Nicholls—To get rid of her. Mr. Selfe—Oh, nonsense. It was very foolish of you, indeed. You will have plenty of these women asking yon for sixpences if you are so free with your money. Mr. Nicholls—She was very importunate, indeed. I told her several times to get away from me, and she would not. Mr. Belie—Why not give her into custody imme diately I Mr, Nicholls—Because there were no police-constables near. George Croft, 241 S,said that the prisoner was given into his o:istody on Sunday morning, and that he found 2s. Bd, upon her, including the 6d. given to her by the prosecutor. Mr. Selfe—No puree or money was found 1 Croft—No, sir. Mr. Selfe—Was she sober I Croft—Yes, she was quite sober. Mr. Seffe —Was the prosecutor sober 3 Croft—Yes, he was quite sober. Mr. Selfe—There is no offence of which I con convict the prisoner ; and if I was to commit her for trial no jury would convict her. Men have no business to be entering into conversation with these infamous strumpets, or to be giving the sixpences ; if they do they must expect to be robbed. The prisoner is discharged.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Campbell, Justices Cole- r , ge, Wlghtman, and Erie.) THE QUEEN V. EOLLAND—BREACH OF THE Ilan TO COMMIT A DUEL. This was a case in which a criminal information was preferred by the Hon. C. S. Clements, 2, Grosvenor square, third eon of the late Earl of Leitrim, and late a captain in the army, and M.P. for Leitrim, agst the de fendant, of the Army and Navy Club, for endeavouring to excite the complainant to the committal of a breach of the peace. It appears that at the latter end of 1856 a difference existe I between Mr. D. Urquhart, of St. Anne's county of Cork, and Dr. Barter, of the same place, relative to two letters written by the latter, in which the former considered Dr. Barter had used statements of an objectionable character to wards himself and wife. Dr. Ross, of Downs, a friend of Mr. Urquhart's, had endeavoured to effect a settle meat but without success, and the complainant and de fondant were deputed, the former as the friend of Dr. Barter, and the latter as the friend of Mr. Urquhart, to settle the differences between them, and to communicate their views on the letters to each other in writing. It was in the course of arranging an amicable settlement in the matters of dispute between the above two gentlemen V-at led to the defendant's attempting to commit the breach of the peace complained of, by endeavouring to provoke him to a hostile meeting. The defendant came up to-day for the judgment of the Court. Mr. Hugh Hilt, Q.C., who appeared for the de fendant, expressed his regret at having used the language complained of by the complainant, and expressed a hope that it woul(1 be considered sati,factory. Sir F. Thesiger said that on the trial Lord Campbell suggested that a verdict of g uilt y should be taken by i consent and the defendant apoligise, which was agreed to between the parties. He regretted teat the defendant should have left till the last moment expressing regret ; but be (Sir F. Thesiger) was ready to accept the apology, on the defendant undertaking to pay the costs the com• plainant had been put to in vindicating his conduct. The judgment of the court was suspended accordingly. THE QUEEN V. SPENCE—JUDGMENT. This was a criminal information against the defendant tried at the last Liverpool assizes, for a nuisance arising from the defendant's :Ilium works. On the trial the jury by their verdict found that the works in question were not of that infalifous character to life which it was alleged, but they did find that they were of a very annoying character to the inhabitants iu their vicinity. It was on the trial pointed out how the nuisance com plained of might easily he remedied, and the defendant undertook to adopt those means, but there had not been as yet sufficient time to carry it out, and under the cir cumstances Sir F. Thesiger, who appeared for the defendant, applied to the Court for the postponement of the judgment till next term. Mr. Wilde, Q.C., for the prosecution cons.ented, and the judgment of the Court was accordingly poitponed till next term. THE BRITISH BANS—MR. STAPLETON'S CASE. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, on behalf of Mr. Stapleton, one of the defendanta in the Brai6ll Bank case, applied for a po,tponement of the trial, on the ground that if it should come on in the coure of three weeks, as intended, his client would not have an opportunity of preparing his defence. D.rd Campbell said it would be impossible at present to decide, or even sa'isfactorily to consider the case. The learned counsel might take a rule and the Attorney- General would show cause on Wednesday. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr..CoraluisAioner Goulburn.) IN RE POPPINEAU. This bankrupt was deAcribed as of Stratford, Essex, manufacturing chemist, and to-day came up for his certificate. The balance-sheet commenced July, 1854, with a deficiency of 1,3341, and he now owes to trade creditors 5,9331.; to creditors for c.. 141, 0,433/. ; to ditto, holding security, 1,7971. ; profit•, 3,545/. ; creditor by goods debts, 1361. ; property, 6521. ; ditto, on hands of credi tors, 1,7101. The losses on the realisation of plant and stock, 6,5861. —This latter item was explained to arise through the nature of the stock which could not easily bo removed and which wss only valuable to a person in the trade, or about to commerce. Mr. Nicholson, the official assignee, reported that the books had been well kept. Mr. Holiams, fur the assignees; did not oppose, but spoke rather favourably. His Honour, therefore, granted a certificate of the second class. IN RR LEAH MUGS. -- His Honour gave judgment in the case of this bank- \ rupt, who was described as of Piccadilly, cigar-manu facturer, and who applied a few days since for her certificate which was opposed on the ground that the bankrupt bad made false and fraudulent representations, and had concealed property. In the first place, when pressed by a creditor for money she had promised part payment ; and afterwards she said the firm, which was carried on under the style of Pickard and Co., be longed to her nephew ; and that her brother, who lived in the house, had fled with 6001. His Honour said this was one of those cases in which there was the positive oath of the bankrupt on one side and facts and circumstances on the other, and it was his duty to deckle on which side the truth 1-ty. His Honour then proceeded to read through the whcla of the evidence, and ultimately granted a certificate of the third class. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. The November session of the Central Criminal Court, the first under the mayoralty of the newly elected, ',it'd Mayer, Sir R. W. Ckrden, commenced this morning, and, although barely three weeks have elapsed since toe the grand jury were discharged at the last session, there are more than a hundred prisoners for trial already, and, in all probability, about twenty more will be committed before the session is brought to a close. The Recorder, in char4ing the grand jury, said although so short a time bad elapsed since the court last assembled, there was a large number of prisoners for trial. It was a satisfactory fact, however, that there was not a single case of murder or manslaughter in the calendar, and although there were some serious cases of burglary, wounding witb intent to do grievous bodily harm, there was an absence of the graver description of charges, which had unhappily been so numerous at some of the recent sessions of the court. There was one case of very considerable interest to the commercial world to be disposed of, was a charge against two persons named Marks and Simmons, of having obtaiatel goods to a very large amount in anticipation of bankruptcy, with a view to cheat their creditors ; aed there was also a second charge of the same character against a person named Skinner and some other defendants. Although the cases were to a certain degree complicated, be did net anticipate any difficulty would arise to the grand jury. If so, the Court would most readily lend them its assistance. The grand jury then retired to their room. The judges who will preside during the session are Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Baron Watson. It will be remembered that at the last session an indictment was preferred against Lord C. Clinton and a person named Jtffree for obtaining money from a stockbroker in the City by the deposit of shares, the transaction being alleged to be a fraudulent one, and to .: grand jury returned a true bill against both The trial was postponed at th e last session, parties. and daring the ;2_ terval application has been made to the Court of Queen ' s ;:nch for a writ of certiorari, to 'curt, and the application remove the case into that t 7... w ill therefore not having been acceded to, t he tria: take place at the Old Bailey. The Hon. Mr. and Mrs. 'Vernon have arrived at the St. George's Hotel. STEAM PA OSST..—A F ERRYBOA T RUN DOWN BY A fatal accident occurred on the river Ouse at about stirve o'clock on Friday ni g ht, by which four persons evens t lives and two others had an extremely narrow escape from drowning. The Empress steam packet, which plies between Hull and Thorne, started from the former place on her r eturn iturney at five o'clock on Friday evening, with about 50 passengers on board. The night was dark, roac biog Whitgif t-ferr y , on the river and the vn , sel cairied a li g ht at her stem and ano.her at h er stern.

THE CONVEYANCE OP THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—At this period of severe commercial pres sure, the unsatisfactory manner in which the Aus tralian postal service is conducted merits the serious attention of the Legislature, the more so when we remember that the contractors, under the pretence of securing unusual speed and certainty for the transit of the mails, have obtained from the Secre tary of the Treasury 44,0001. per annum in excess of the amount demanded by another company com peting with them for the same service. Notwith standing, however, the high subsidy accorded, it would hardly have been possible for the mails to have been conveyed in a manner more calculated to occasio❑ loss and inconvenience to our Australian merchants. I am far from desirous to hold the contractors responsible for accidents over which they have no control. This would be highly unreasonable; but what I desire to point out is that they have been wanting in common forethought, and are responsible for the results of their own wilful acs, as well as for the neglect of precautions which it is clear it was incumbent on them to take. In the first place, they are clearly responsible for the loss and inconvenience resulting to the public from the break down of the Oneida, for it is well known that the foundatien plate of the engines of thst vessel was cracked when sbe left Southampton; and Sir C. Wood admitted in the House of Com mons that the Admiralty surveyor had in conse quence reporeett the vessel unfit for the mail ser vice. Notwithstanding, however, this grave defect in her machint-ry, she was wilfully sent out, and mark the result—she broke down on her very first mail voyage ; all postal steam intercourse with Australis was-in consequence necessarily suspended for a month, and the homeward despatch of the mails for four succeeding months was disorganised. In the second instance, owing to the contractors omitting the prec tution of placing a rest ship at Suez—in short, owing to their having the temerity to.assume that no tic edents could possibly happen to their ships, the last mail to Australia, contain ing, perhaps, the most important commercial ad vices and warnings which ever left this country, will have been detained one entire mouth at Suez. As to the accident which has occurred to the Emeu, it is a casualty over which the directors themselves had no control, but it will not be denied that it is attributable to the unaccountable neglect of the servant of the contractors, the commander of the ship, in permit , itighis vrs , el to get among the reefs of the Nubian coast, instead of keeping to the beaten track of vessels—that is, to the central parts of a sea which is considered free from nearly all those difficulties of navigation which perplex the mariner in other oceans. Be the fault of the company's or their servant's, one of its immediate results is this, that while the entire correspondence of the Aus tralian colonies, to the expressible loss and harass ment of the merchants, will probably not be here for 14 days, in the interim 526,0001. in gold inca pable of identification must lie profitless in the hands of the mail contractors until the letters and bids of lading arrive, and permit it to be claimed by the owners, whose feelings on the subject may better be imagined than described. If the public here aro silent under these circum stances, rely upon it the colonists, who have to pay one-half of the subsidy, will not remain tongue tied. They will peremptorily demand that the con tractors should take those steps and precautions adopted by all the large companies to ensure the due conveyance of the mails,- or they will insist on her Majesty's Government forthwith cancelling a contract which has hitherto been carried out with so wauch loss and inconvenience to the public.— Yours, Sso., AN AUSTRALIAN. MR. MECHI ON AGRIOULTURI.—At a meeting of the Cozgtsbail A!,ricultural Sooiety on Thursday last Mr. l`acchi in the course of the evening rose and said an allu sion had been made to his year of office and his return among them. They had all great duties to perform, but he assured them his heart came back with delight to the pursuits of agriculture and the varied objects of interest which it presented to the observer. He could not help comparing his position 14 or 15 years ago with what it was now. He then was considered little less than an im postor, or the promoter of some wild and visionary schemes, but he knew that he had strong prejudices to encounter, and that the truth would prevail. For in stanee, when he put up a steam-engine, it was thought the most absurd act which he could perform ; and new ho had the gratification of seeing his neighbours possessed each of his steam-engine, and beard of one gentleman in Chelmsford having as many as 13. which he let out upon hire. The farmer had now flund it to his interest to oast away the flail, which cost is., as an instrument for thrashing his corn, and to use a machine which cost 3001., as, notwithstanding the enormous disparity in expense, the steam-engine would produce a cheaper result. The other day he went down to Wandsworth, with Mr. Caird and Mr. Morton, to see a scheme of railway adapted for agricultural purposes, patented by Mr. Halkett, by which he promises to plough land at a cost of is. 7d. per acre, hoe it at ls. 3d., and get in the harvest a: ls. per acre, carrying the manure, atc., of the farm at id. per ton per mile, leaving a margin for the interest of the cost of railway, which could be adapted to the farm at a cost of 241. per acre. By this scheme he might plough his land by night as well as by day if he pleased, and if it were necessary for the production of is good crop that the land should be brought in contact with the air they would see how important it was to have a long fallow. Mr. Mechi further described the nature of this implement, and expressed his opinion in favour of its practicability. With reference to the appropriation of sewage manure to the soil he said Professor Way had been sent to Milan for the purpose of examining drain a4e, so as to adopt some scheme for saving the sewage of London, which was of immense value, but which now ran into the Thames and was entirely lost. He believed the difficulty presented was merely a test of ecientifio skill, and that it only required some mechanical contri vance to accomplish the object. There were yet many things which might be done by agriculturists to great advantage, but he could not forget how much some had done, and that there was one gentleman present who every year burnt at least 1,000 tons of earth into ashes which, laid upon heavy clay land, greatly inoreased its fertility. His experience of French agriculturists con vinced him that they were not behind themselves in point of intelligence, but he was also convinced of the vast superiority of Englishmen in point of capital and m eans, the cry of France b ein g , •‘ Where is the money to come from I" Upon the question of thin sowing he was glad to find a great change of public opinion in favour of the adoption of such a plan ;an one . b t ush u el per . acre was enough seed upon his land, d, t h! gh e would not lay that down as a principle,.he would mom. h o:r p t e a d in th o a f t the his f r r e i s e u n l ds t.

Fifty years ago, a manufactory which employed 100 men was an esta blishment worthy of notice : now we may travel over this land and see it thickly studded with works where from 1,000 to 2,000 heads are busily employed. Whe ther this concentration of human power will be eventually better for the working classes, or otherwise, is • ques tion worthy of the most careful consideration, but which we will not now attempt to discuss.
