The dm lain
.quotations la all the principal cootinentel
markets, during the autumn and winter, in the face of dis-
couraging advice. from hence, must certainly he regarded
as affording proof of an unuseal state of affairs. For
months past, England has ceased to have any influence on
prices 'brood; sal during the time of the greatest depres-
sion here the value of wheat costumed to advance steadily
in the Baltic, in Holland, and Belgium. The causes as
signed are, in the first place, the exhaustion of stocks all
over Europe, in consequence of the Immense shipments
made for several consecutive years to Great Britain, and
the extensive failure of the rye and potato* crops in the
interior of Germany. That these causes should have ope
rated and prevented exports, so long asour prices remained
very low, was quite ustural ; but we are inclined to think
that the important rise which has already taken place here,
used the prospect of a further improvement in oar coo.
tatioas, will lead to shipments in the spring on • more
extensive scale than is now generally supposed. For
the present, however, matters wear a more promis-
ing aspect for our farmers than they have done at
any period during the last three years ; for some
months, at least, no overwhelming arrivals from abrond '
can reach us ; and during that time the home growers will
have the opportunity of disposing of that portion of their
produce they hays still on hand, at sontothinaglike re-
munerating rates. Good red wheat is now woe* 43a. to
1445., and white up to 60s. per qr., in most pare of the
kingdom, with the prospect of some further rise.
The wheat trade has not been quite so animated this as
lest week; which may, however, be readily accounted for
by the high pretensions of sellers, materially enhanced
terms having been insisted on, as well at the markets lathe
agricultural districts as at the large consuming towns.
Until recently the London market was one of the cheap-
est for wheat is the United Kingdom; and, notwithstand-
ing the late advance, prices are yet low at Mark-lane, corn-
pared to those current at some of the country markets ; and
to this circumstance may be attributed the moderate cha-
racter of the supplies into London.
The arrivals coastwise have again been small, °sly 1,977
qrs. having been reported duriog this week ending this
(Saturday) evening. The quantity brought forward by
land menage samples from the neighboaring counties has
meanwhile been quite trifling; and though purchasers
have manifested • disinclination to continue their opera-
' Lions at the comparatively high terms now asked, this has
foiled to produce any effect on the minds of sellers, who
have shown more disposition to raise than to lower their
pretensions; and the prices demanded on Friday were fully
as high as those cum rut in the beginning of the week. The
averages are moving sts adily upwards; the last return for
the kingdom being 395. 3d., and that (or London, published
on Friday, 435. per qr.
Scarcely any foreign wheat has been received at this port
since our last, the total supply having consisted of 1,449
qs., of which 840 qrs. are from Rostock, 400 qrs. from
Holland, and 200 qrs. from New York. The country de-
mand, though not at any period extensive, has certainly
increased of late, and stocks in granary are gradually
diminishing. We are, however, disposed to think that a
good many of the purchases lately made have been to hold
over, and that some quantity will after • time be offered for
resale. No change requiring notice has taken place in
prices since last Monday. Holders have displayed no
anxie to realise, but there was certainly lees doing
towards the close of the week.

The rise of ea. per sack in the top price of town-made
dour, in the space of them weeks, has had the effect of in-
ducing caution on the part of the bakers ; and the opera-
tions have been on a more restricted scale this week than for
some time past. Many of the millers, having considerable
contracts to fulfil, have not been anxious to sell ; and the
effect of this state of admire has been a decidedly quiet
week, In American dour a fair share of business has been
done at the recently enhanced buns; and fine French has
also brought full prices.
The receipts of barley of home-growth have been insig-
nificant, and we have had no supplies of this grain from
abroad since the close of last week. Choice malting par-
eels have been sought after, and have commanded very full
prices. Other descriptions ha.. not sold quite so freely,
bat prices were quite as high for the secondary sorts of Eng-
lish, u well as for foreign, on Friday as on Monday.
Malt has felt the influence of the continued advance in
the value of barley, and the turn hes certainly been in fa-
I you of the seller. _

FOREIGN.
The advieee from the Baltic are of ma animated cha-
racter, and though the extent of the advance which has
lately taken place here could not then have become known
there, prices had, it appears, undergone a further rise at
most of the principal ports.
Dantak letters, of the 27th of January, state that the
firmer tone of the English advice, had had the effect if
rendering holders of wheat unwilling to sell, except at
very high terms, and that the operations had consequently
been on quite a retail scale; indeed, since the previous pest
day, only 60 lasts, of 611h5., mixed wheat had changed
hands, at a price equal to 43e. per qr. free on board ; for
821 be. high mixed 475. per qr. had been asked. The news
from this side would, it was feared, render holders in
Poland (previously difficult to deal with), altogether unma-
nageable, and banner with the interior would, therefore,
it wee thought, be greatly circumscribed.
At ffia priest had got up so high as to cans specula-
tors to oalese, and the latent reports from these* are of •
eriorewliat subdued team, which is, however, net to be won-
dered at, when N consider the advance. Wheat of only
geed quality had been held, and was still, on
ebe l Ile gireted 475. to 48s. per qr., free on board in
Sew of the more prudent merchants were evi-
lieglaning to look upon the speculation with ap-
=Mkhet the news of the rise which has within the
t, ,ache taken place here will probably have the of
Act of a fresh impetus to the upward movement in
dm DalflAtt. The stock of wheat at Stettin is stated to be
boanY, age kegs purchams having been made from time
to time Malelivery in spring from the interior, further ad-
&ideas le same will be made, and unless an export
dement druid spring up, some of the Stettin Meie
chaste may find it difficult to effect resale, of what
gazitz. bought.
letters of the 26th quote 81 to 61ilbs. Wheat
471. per qr. free on board. There appears to have beet
Imes excitement at that place than at Stettin, &c. ; but it
was nevertheless the prevailing belief that England would
sooner or later require supplies, and the prices current were
therefore looked upon as tolerably safe. Burley of 621 be.
quality bad found takers at equal to 288.6 d per qr. fres
on board in spring —a pries which, as compared with those
demanded at the other Baltic ports, may be considered
moderate.
At Ancient the latter article was, on Jan. 27, held at
equal to 26e. Bd., wheat at 415., and rye at 40s. to 41s.
per qr. free on board.
The accounts from Stralsund of tho same date are of a
similar character, though quotations were not quite eo high
at the latter place.
At Wismar, on the 27th ult., the price of wheat of fillbe.
weight was 425. ; barley, 61 to 621b5., 24e. ; and oats, of 36
Ito Mrs., 17s. per qr free on born:.
Hamburg advice@ of Tuesday inform us that some fur•
ther purchases of wheat had been made at full terms, but
that specilators had in general meted with • greater degree
of caution than the week before. The contracts closed had
been at Us. to 445. 6* per qr. free on board in spring for
good 611 b.. Lower Baltic red wheat.
In the Dutch market., held in the early part of the week,
both wheat and rye sold slowly, tho high pretcnsions of
sellers having checked the demand.
This appears, ales, to have been the ease in France, and
the latest reports from thence are not quite so lively as
those previously received. At Pula, Nantes, At., the up-
ward movement appears to have received a check, and the
aceounts from the south are also quieter this week.
In the Medderninean the value of wheat seems to have
risen, and at Leghorn, on the 2ith of January, good Polish
was gaoted 37r. 4d., and fine 62111 m. to 63ibs. aiarianopoli
40s. per qr. free on board.
The advices from America arc still of a quiet tone, end
though considerable orders ter the purchase of flour had
been received at New York, price* had not riare mate-
rially. Comparatively few of the orders had been limited
sufficiently high to allow of their execution, and the ship-
meats to Great Britain had not bees very important.

AT LoRD DUDLIIT &MARVII.
JotepA Ihtselloorthi, 43, a Polish refitgee pleaded Guilty
to an indictment, in which he was chase with stealing •
hat and other article., value It. Ios., t property of the
Rev. Heinsund Mortiock, from the resideue• of Lord Dudley
Coutts Stuart, M.P., 0, Stratford-place, Gaford-street.
On the evening of the 6th of January, at about seven
o'clock, the prisoner went to the house with a letter ad-
dressed to his lordship. It was sent in, and the prisoner
was informed that an answer would be returned in the
morning. lie then went away, taking with hint the hat,
scarf, and gloves of Mr. Mortloek, a gentleman then dining
with hovel Dudley. Stuart, which were lying in the hall.
Information was given to Hertford, the officer of the Men-
dieity Society, and the prisoner was taken into custody in
the Strand. He then admitted he had taken the property.
The learned Judge said he found that the poisoner had
been summarily convicted in August, MO, and in August,
1841, on each of which occasions he was sentenced to three
months' imprisonment, and also that he had been committed
for three months for fraudulently obtaining money as a
charitable contribution.

The secretary to the Literary Amoeiation of the Friends
of Poland stated that in January, last year, the prisoner
had three months for stealing a coat from Lord Dudley
Stuart, and that he had suffered six years' imprisonment in
France fur forgery.
The court sentenced him to one year's imprisonment,
with hard labour.

THE POLICE COURTS
MANSION-HOUSE
• _

William Cochrane was brought before Alderman Cubitt,
charged with having obtained goods from several mercan-
tile houses under false pretences.
Mr. Joseph Bennet,uf the firm of Magnsy and Bennet,
stationers, of Thames street, stated that the prisoner ob-
tained stationery at the warehouse, and immediately after-
wads disposed of it to a party who happened to be a
customer to the firm, and that the goods were lyinc on the
counter of the customer when the witness went into the
shop te make inquiries about them.
The officer not having had time to collect the proper ma-
terials of each of the variety of eases, the prisoner was re-
manded fora week.

Brown and Smith, seamen, were charged by Mr. Pelham,
the solicitor, upon the part of the captains of two vessels,
with having deserted for heavy wages, and with having
thereby caused great expense and inconvenience to the
ships they had abandoned.
Capt. Black, of the Free Trader, trading to Callao,
proved that one of the prisoners had engaged with him to
go the voyage and return, and that the seaman had, with
others, abandoned the vessel in her great emergency in that
port.
Capt. Myers, of the Wallace, proved that the other
prisoner had played the same must injurious trick upon

Ihe expense occasioned by the defection of the two
prisoners, merely for the purchase of substitutes for
the voyage back, amounted, it was stated by Mr. Pel-
ham, to 62f. ; and that gentleman also mentioned that
the captains had lost, by the desertion of eight men
who had left them at Callao, the sum of 1971., indepen-
dently of the charge for demurrage and expenses necessarily
arising out of the conduct of those who had so basely
abendoned their duty.
Alderman Cubitt asked the prisoners whether they had
anything like a defence to offer. One of them said he ob-
jected to his captain on account of the disposition of that
' functionary to encourage fighting amongst the men ; and
the other said he was actually afraid of going to the bot-
tom, the captain was so desperately attached to strong
liquors.
Alderman Cubitt said the cases were both extremely bad,
and in his opinion the act did not give to the magistrate
the power of inflicting punishment commensurate with the
offence frequently committed by seamen engaged to work
vessels. As he had not heard that the prisoners had been
guilty of any former crime, he would limit their punish-
ment to sin weeks' imprisonment with hard labour.
Tho prisoners, upon leaving the bar, said they would not
be prevented by the sentence from repeating the conduct
which the alderman deprecated.
Mr. Pelham said, after the judgment was passed, that
one of the prisoners had had the impudence to arrest his
vessel for wages, under an Admiralty proem.
Elizabea Anna Caw wee summoned upon the part of
the Commissioners of &wen, " for that she, being the
owner of houses in Primrose-street, Sishopegate, after •
notice bearing date 14th of October, and stating that • cer-
tificate under :the hand of John Simon, Esq., officer of
health of the City of London, had been laid before the com-
missioner that the house was a common lodging• house
within the meaning of the City Sewers Act of ladl, and
was unfit for the reception of lodger., bad been duly given
to her by the commissioners, did, contrary to the provisions
of the act, accommodate and receive lgers in the said
houses, having theretofore refused and neglected to give
the information in writing, set forth in the said notice, for
the purpose of having the said houses registered in • book
kept by the commissioners, in pursuance of the act."
Mr. Payne, of the (Mice of Mr. 'Tyrrell, the solicitor to
the City Commissioners of Sowers, atteni.ed for the proie-
cution, and stated that the commimioners were determined,
in order to prevent the disease likely to arise from the over-
crowding of lodging-houses, and from inattention to the
necessary care of the public cleanliness, to bring every cam
of neglect as well as wilful misconduct before the Lord
Mayor.
Mr. Lantler, one of the inspectors of pavements for the
City of London, said—l produce three certificates, signed
" John Simon, medical officer of health of the City of Lon-
don," a separate certificate for each of three houses in
Primrose-street, belonging to the defendant. They were
given to me by Mr. llaw, on behalf of the Commissioners of
Sewers. I left notices, of which these are duplicates, at the
hoses. with Mrs. Case's daughter.
The defendant, who appeared as if she had jest risen from
a bed of sickness, declared that she had not received any in-
formation upon the subject, or she would at once have com-
a plied with the direction. In all probability her daughter
had, on account of her indisposition, concealed the matter
from her.

ir7lyne said the object of the oommisaioners was to
have the set of parliament for the pubiic safety carried out
is every respeet, but as the defendant's excuse appeared to
have soma foundation they would not, he was sure, wish
that in the present caw the penalties, which were very
heavy, should be rigidly enforced.
The defendant—l shall have everything done that may
be required.
The Lord Mayor—Very well. I shall not indict any
penalty. You must pay the costs and immediately set ac-
cording to the notices. AU the close districts of the City
shall be watched with the moat jealous care, and upon any
future occasion the utmost penalty shall be inflicted. The
commissioners shall end that their complaints shall meet
with immediate attention from my brother magistrates and
myself in everything that regards the health of the cession-
nity.

Mr. Jean Nottbeck, Imperial Commissioner of the Mi-
nistry of Domains in Russia, at present residing in Dover-
street, Piccadilly, stated that towards the latter part of last '
year be transmitted an order on behalf of the Russian go-
vernment to Mown. Garrett and Co.. agricultural imple-
ment makers, of Saamundham, in Suffolk, for a foar-horse
threshing machine, which he requested might be forwarded
to town by the Riterts Counties Railway, to the order of
their skipping agent, Mr. WCracken, of the Old Jewry.
Having subsequently received information that the order
had been duly eleasted, but that the prisoner had con-
trived, by means of a fictitious order, to obtain possession
of the machine' which he had converted into money,
witness hastened back from Paris, where he had been since
residing, and gave him into custody. The prisoner had
been in his amiss for about two months, in the capacity of
clerk, but his engagement terminated lot November, and
he had never authorised him to obtain** property in
question, or in any manner to dispose of it.
Mr. Samuel Saville, clerk at the goods station of the
Eastern Counties Railway, stated that on the Bth Decem-
ber the prisoner entered the bookintoMee at the Brick-
lama station, and inquired if a threshing machine had
arrived there from Mr. Garrett, of Sasmundham. On
telling him that it had. but that it was consigned to the
order of Afern. M.Cracken' of the Old Jewry, the prisoner
said that he had Jest come from that firm, and would at
once give him a written order for its delivery. The order
produced was then prepared and signed by the prisoner,
according to whose directions the machine was sent on the
following day to Mr. Kealy's, an agricultural machinist, in
Orford-street.

Mr. John Mealy, agricultural implement manufacturer,
stated that on the Bth of iteeember the prisoner called upon
him at his place of business in Oxford-greet, and, having
represented himself as an attaehi to the Huainan embassy,
and that hr had acted as secretary at the Great Exhihition,
proceeded to state that, having lately indulged in rather
improvident habits, which had reduced him to temporary
embarrassment, he wished to obtain a small advance of
money upon the security of a threshing-machine which he
had purehased on account of the Russian government, but
which he was unable to ship off in consequence of the late-
nes+ of the season. After some further conversation wit-
ness agreed to take the matter into consideration ; and,
having subsequently entered into communication with
Misses. Garrett of liaaroundharn, tram whom he received
a letter stating that they had rottotrueted a thrtehing-ma.
chine under the eiremustanceedemeribed, and had received
the purehtete-money from the pnenueroritneta ultimately ad-
vanced hint 251 upon it, the prisoner undertaking to be
answerable for warehouseroom until he was in a condition
to forward it to liassia.
