THE CORN TRADE.
The grain trade remains much in the same position.
The wintry weather has excercised but small influence
upon the markets, which have continued inactive.
Transactions in wheat have been confined within
extremely moderate limits. Deliveries of home-grown
produce were again small, and generally of an indiffer-
ent condition, thereby ren•lering sales still more
difficult. Foreign wheat was in fair supply, and was
quietly moved on former terms. Millars are evidentally
indisposed to depart from their hand-to-mouth policy
until stocks in the granary are reduced and the supply
on the way to us is much less than at present, and no
important movement in the trade need therefore be
looked for. The quantity of British wheat disposed
of at Mark-lane during the week ending January 4
was 677 bra., and the average price 46s per quarter.
Barley, 382 quarters; average price, 335 id per qr.
Barley remained quiet and unaltered. Oats were held
for more money, which was not, however, obtainable
except in very kw instances. Maize, beans, and peas
quiet, at late rates. Flour in bad condition, and dull
of sale in consequence.
LIVERPOOL FRIDAY.—The tone of the market
continues quiet. The wheat trade was dull, and only
a limited business was dune, at a reduction of Id per
cental. Flour 6d per sack rower. 114mns and peas
unaltered. Indian corn was taken moderately, at 6d
per qr. under previous rates.
LONDON FRIDAY. —Wheat quiet, but firm.
Barley steady. Oats held for more money. Maize,
beans, and peas quiet. Flour unaltered. Arrivals :
—English: Wheat, 8,600 qrs. Foreign: Wheat,
24,6 to qrs. • barley, 8,340 qrs. ; oats, 45020 quarters;
maize, 4,86; qrs. ; flour, 8,520 sacks 82,420 barrels.
Close: Wheat closed quietly, without alteration,
Barley dull. Oats held for more money. Maize, beans,
and peas quiet. Flour in bad condition and dull of
sale.

A DELINQUENT CONSTABLE.
At the Yeovil Borough Bench on Tuesday, the Mayor,
addressing Supt. Smith, said they had been considering
the case of Police-constable Traves, of the Dorset Con-
stabulary, who was locked up for stealing some meat from
oafs of the butcher's shops in Yeovil, and whom he let out
of custody on his own responsibility, and they had come
to the conclusion that the Superintendent had exceeded
his duty in not bringing him before them, and they hoped
ha would not do such a thing again.

new system worked better, and the returns at the end of

number of 7,884 had taken place, while there was a
decrease of 1,411 in the non-efitoients. The returns for

"MAY AND DECEMBER"-
BARGAIN.

At the Woolwich police court on Saturday, Thomas
Brand, greengrocer, of 7, Church street, Woolwich,
was again summoned by his wife Ellen for assaulting
her. About three weeks since the same parties
appeared on a similar summons, and on account of ths
great disparity of their ages, the husband being 60
and the wife about 16, the case was adjourned for a
week, for some arrangement to be come to, and on
the case being called on that day neither parties
appeared, and it was hoped that matters had been
amicably arranged.—Complainant, said on Saturday
last he came home the worse for drink, and asked her
for the coppers, which she gave him ; he then asked
her for the silver, which she refused to give him. He
then followed her into the back-room, took the handle
off the door, and beat her about the body, and
succeeded in taking away her pocket, which wax tied
round her waist, with the silver in it -The money
was the takings of the shop. ('roes-examined. —She
never took LSO in gold in a boy and put it down a
well in her mothers garden. For the defence, there
was called Mrs. Charlotte Ward, who stated that on
the Saturday in question, she went to the shop for
some greengr,eery, when she saw the two parties
rowing, and heard the defendant crying out, "Give
me my money and go away." Witness then left the
shop, but the complainant overtook her with Imth
hands full of silver, and said that she only *creamed
out so as to make people believe the "old fool" was
beating her, and then offered her ss. to appear as a
witness for her. Mr. Balguy said it was quite clear
they could never live happily together, and he was
rather at a loss to know who was the most to blame;
but as it WM the second time that complaint had
been made agairust defendant, he must find one surety
in ten £lO to keep the peace for six months.

THE TURKISH ATROCITIES.
To tAe Editor of the Dorset County Express.
Dear Sir,—May I ask the inhabitants of Dorchester
through your widely circulated columns, whether the
county town is to raise no voice or protest against the
hideous cruelties now being inflicted upon Servian
Christians, by that filthy brute—the Turk. If we
are to nit quietly down, only to occasionally rise to the
height of a trumpery squabble about a dozen trees,
while other towns can evince an interest in the politics
of Europe, why then, I pity my fellow-towiunnen.
We have had indignation meetings, heralded by
gigantic specimens of the printers' art, presided over
by rev, gentlemen, addressed by the talent of the
town, and reported column after column in our papers,
but not one word have I as yet heard of any attempt
to obtain • public expresssion of the abhorrence and
horror which every man laying claim to the name of
Englishman must feel at the devilish attrocities com-
mitted day after day on woman and children by
Turkish fiends, and to the Ilingraoe of this country con.
uived at by a passive and a selfish Government.
Surely it behoves the Mayor at once to call a meet-
ing. The matter needs no " requisition"—a requisition
that should appeal to every heart is the cries of
outraged women and murdered children. There need
be no long resolutions or elaborate speeches, but I say
give the town the opportunity of joining in the
expression of disgust now emanating from the nation
for such cruelties, and the policy of Stateamen which
permits them.

THE ALLEGED DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN

MESSRS. MOODY AND SANKEY.
As we recently gave currency to the alleged split in
the camp of the Evangelists, we now as requested
inskej,ublic the contradiction. As the report has at-
tained
extensive circulation in this country, we think
it best to say once for all that there is no truth what-
ever in the statement.

In order to prove this beyond doubt, letters have
just been received by Mr. 1). Drummond, Treasurer
of the Dublin Committee in connection with Mesas.
Moody and Sankey's services in that city of which
we give extracts :

Saratoga Springs, August, 10th, 1878.—Permit me toes;
that it has not been our custom to answer or to deny the
many untruthful statements made and Published in
regard to us ; but from the vile character of this article, I
desire toss; that it is wholly devoid of truth. We com-
mence our work in Chicago on October 1; thence to
Boston, January 1, 1877.-1 remain, yours truly, Ira D,
&NM.

To the Editor of the Pot mare la our nal, Dublin, Ireland.
—Allow me to say that the assertions made have not even
the shadow of truth to commend them. I have never
even dreamed of the possibility of a quarrel between the
two great evangelists, and therefore could not, under any
circumstances, have been the authority for such • state-
ment. Allow me, through your columns, to dens' that I
have ever given rise to any rumour that would afflict the
two men whom I love and revere beyond all others. Will
you be kind enough to put this denial in its most
imperative form, and oblige yours sincerely George H.

BULGARIAN OUTRAGES.

Mr. Gladstone, on Saturday, addressed a meeting of
his constituents and others at Blackheath on the
subject of the Bulgarian outrages. His speech was made
while supporting a memorial to the Queen to adopt
measures- in concert with other powers to secure the
cenaation of the atrocities and the prevention of their
repetition, with the emallest possible amount of
c in the territorial political arrangement
otaatue rope. He was of opinion, on the presumption
that the atrocities by the Turks were still proceeding
that they should be promptly stopped, and that
the mildest measures of which the case admitted
should be adopted to prevent their recurrence:
but if mild measures did not produce the desired
result, then that effectual steps should be taken.
Again he repeated his recommendation that the most
means to achieve the future peace of
esniging provinces would The by forcing the Turks to
" walk out of them." In any measure towards secur-
ing their immediate object of humanity he felt Burs
they would have the co-operation of the principal
European States.

The Manor of Great Wymondiey, in the county of
Hertford, is held by the following tenure of Grand
Sergeantry :—At the coronation banquet, the lord of the
manor is bound to serve, kneeling, a cup of wine to the
Xing: the cup is to be of silver-gilt, and the King, having
drunk from it, returns it as the fee of the office. Ilene*,
says Salmon, in his ' History of Hertfordshire,' comes the
common 'Laying of ' Hertfordshire kindness,' and it is used
when a person drinks to one that bath drunk to him
bifore. This manor Wli held in Norman times by the
families of Fitz-Tecon and Argentine ; the latter family
bore, in allusion to this tenure, gu.—three covered cups.—
argent. From the Argentines the manor wan inherited by
the Alingtons, of Iforscheath, with whom it remained
until the death of Giles, Lord Alington, in Mai. iTp to
this time the manor had never changed hands except by
inheritance, and the tenure had been duly fulfilled by the
au,x:essive heads of the family or their deputies. On a suit
in Chancery, the manor was sold after the death of the
aforesaid Giles, Lord Alington„ ta raise fortunes for his
sisters, from one of whom, Mr. Henry Gerard Sturt, in
whose favour the title of Lord Alington has just been
revived, is descended. The manor, however, has palmed
through several hands, and is now unconnected in WV Way
with the Alington family."
