There is as increased buoyancy of felling in the market,
as money is 111,TO plenty, sod offered at easier rates. There
is a considerable diminution in the amount of paper offer-
log at the note broken, and first class paper may now be
obtained at 10 to 12 per cent. The Bank statement is un-
usually favourable, showing an increase of nearly two mil-
, lions is specie: Tais of itself would bo sufficient to create
more confidecce, and give fresh animation to the masks',
with greater inducemente for capitalists to operate.
BREADSTOTII—There is a fair demand for filar, and in
the absence of any special demand, either for export or home
use, prices remain steady for the common and extra grades,
while the medium grades are heavy and lose firm. We
quote—Superfine No. 2, 8 doll. 25c. to 8 dole. 75c.; com-
mon to good state, 8 dole. 76e. to 8 dole. 93f ; favourite
elate, 9 dole. to 9 doll. 23e.; extra state, 9 dole. 620. to

proved, with sales of 600 bbls. at 9 dole. 25z. in bond ; and
200 bbla, sold at 10 dots. duty paid. Wheat is nearly inao-
titre, as there are but fete desirable lots offering, and those
are held above the views cf buyers. All prime lots are
quickly taken up by our city millers at more than remune-
rating rates, especially to the seller.
Corrog.—There is a good demand, and, with a short
supply, some holders have advanced their views ; but we do
not alter quotations. The receipts last year, up to this time,
were 1,135,000 tales against 978,000 bales to the present

not been remitted in the usual coarse.

Hr. Chilton, ilttorney for the prisoner, submitted that
his client did nut come under the denomination of a ser-
vast or agent to render him accountable at law, and fur-
ther that the chug, did not amount to embeislement,

count, which would appear from his own books.
Mr Mansfield said that, as the law now stood, there
was a prime facia case, established, although it might be
that the prisoner was a man of integrity, and had not acted
