quently acting as the masts. He sew him there on the
12th July. He won to a nen on the GM door, where
there were about 30 other psions. They had before this.

Mr. Parry, on behalf of Mei defietleat, objected to this
evidence. The original dement shield be produced to
prove it was a betties let, bobs {hr Satiate were stated.
Mr. reams—You hays bad noise to produce them.

Mr. Parry said that this was a licensed house, which ray
sewn sail& war between certain hours, and could not be
turned out by the landlord unless a breach of the pesos
were committed. The question wee, therefore, whether the
defendant had knowingly and wilfully permitted betting to
go on in his how. Taking all that had been stated to be
true, ha submitted the defendant had not violated the set
If his worship should decide to the contrary there was
not a deb ce the eve of • great race but would he affected,
not omitting the Gresham, whine there was always to be
found a "sprinkling of aldermen." The intention of the
legislature, by the preamble of the act, was to put down sir
tam betting houses kept for the profit of the ostespien. The
act berm " Whereas kind of gaming." It did not refer to
all gambling, because the makers of the set were many of
them great gambler. themselves ; and the subsequent words
of the third section stated," that any person who, being the
owner or Sampler of i any house, *Mee, room, or
other pleas, should apse, keep, or use the same

and should knowingly, wilfully, and unlawfully
permit the same to be kept open, or used by any person,

casual using of the room, hat to a permanent use of it, and
it mast b• now, that the occupier kept the place open for
the purpose of betting himself, or " betting with the re•
sorters thereto." Mr. Cooper had n made a bet, or
derived an profit from betting, neither had he any lists of
horses la his room. He hoped the bench would dismiss the
csee, as not coming within the act.

There were several other similar cases for hearing.

THE CORN TRADE.

Brim the Mark Uwe Seprus.)
BRITISH.

With another week of face harvest weather in the
South of England, we regret to say that we have not been
equally favound in North Britain; while in Ireland, @am-
enity in the west, operations have been seriously obstructed
by heavy rains, sad some damage to the crops by laying has
been the esusequesee, though we hope not to such a serious
extent as some reports would have us to believe. In the
latter country also there are certain localities where the
potatoes ate namistakeably bad, with a more general account
as to injury in the leaves and stem, which is the case even
at Dubin, though the mischief, as in some former seasons,
seems to be soaked to the growth above ground. The
peculiar feature of the present crop is its simultaneous
ripening is almost all pare, east, west, north, and south—
occasioned, as we think, by the unusual quantity of warm
rain, putty to the damage of barley, which thins I.
the leading crop this meson, though the sample is thinner
than would have been the ease with ordinary weather.
This has produced an unusual call for labour; and we
cannot but applaud the measure of the government as ex.
andingly judicious, which permits able-bodied men, used to
harvest work, to quit their ranks for employment in the
fields. Yet we have seen that this senors, so advantage-
ous, has-hardly kept pan with the neemity of the times,
and there is • great deal of corn out in the south dead ripe,
which, as it is reaped or mown, should at once be carried to
the barn. Small deliveries of wheat have consequently
almost universally *Mined, and though the country
markets have, for the reasons last stated, responded to the
metropolis in the advance noted on Monday, there has been
evidently a difficulty to place bulks in quantity at the *a-
basement, then being no threatening weather in England
to give a further impulse to prices, while the probability
of a similar improvement in Gummy and France may lessen
the urgency of estatinental claims. The new samples, how-
ever, ease very various; and many maintain that we are not
reaping an average crop of wheat, complaints being louder.
especially is the Fes countries, as the sickle progresses and
samples appear. Bat in spring corn we believe the are is
raven ad; and thus America, with its reported abundance
in the south, is pretty use of an extends. European do-
' mind. The deliveries last week were 71.104 qrs. at 731.7 d.,
' against 58,555 qrs. last year. The week's arrival of foreign
to 22nd August, 27,468 qrs. Some red Stettin wheat bad
been sold afloat at 76a. per qr., cost, freight, and insurance.
The wheat trade on Monday commenced with a supply
for the week previous,_ amounting only to 4 665 qrs. foreign,
from Spain, and the Battle, and 6,000 qrs. English. There
' were 600 qn. exported. Another exceedingly scanty sup-
ply was furnished by /Cent and Essex. This circumstance,
with amen rim in the country markets and some demand
for Freese, produced quite an excitement, and old wheat
' was cleared off readily by mitten at an enhance of 3e. to 4s.
per qr.—the nee on new being only Is. lees. Sales of white
were made at from 665. to 80s. per qr. • red brought 65a. to
755. ;per qr. Foreign samples being held at very high rates,
and in some instant** being withdrawn, but little business
could be effected, and this was at an improvement
of 2s. to its. per qr. Floating cargoes were held for as.
advance. Oa Wednesday the arrivals per coast were only
320 qrs., and the foreign 3,710 qrs. Tne tone of Monday
was then well sustained. and sales were made in retail at
fully the prime of that day, both Englirb and foreign
qualities. On Friday there was still only a limited supply,
vim., per coast, 610 qn., without say more foreign. The
continuance, however, of britliant weather evidently then
occasioned a pews is business, and though in no instance
prim were quoted lower, there were no anxious buyers to
be found.
The supply of Spanish lour was large—the quantity of
foreign in all beteg 9.000 seeks, while the country fur-
nished 12,200 mks. The exports were 822 seeks. This
liberal arrival, however, found a free eels of Norfolk, at a
rise of foe. per sack, while sales of Spanish were made at 61e.
per ditto, there beteg still some demand for France. On
Wednesday, with 360 seeks per coast, 350 seeks foreign,
, and 2,120 barrels from America, the trade still re-
tained its teas as minds price, though there was less
freedom is Mee. On Friday. with the addition of only
340 sacks mem per mast and 1.600 sacks foreign, there was
a changed @smell is the market, and the same inactivity
prevalent is wheat characterised this trade.
t The trade in barley has also experieaced some revival
from the fallen of supplies—the whole week's arrival being
I but 300 qrs. of English. Malting dwriptions realised an
, admire of Is. per qr., end sweet heavy grinding panels
, were Is. 6d. per qr. dearer, with a tolerably brisk sale. Os
, Wednesday, a Mlle Irish barley was reported, which bad
t become quite some, via , 280 qrs., and this trifle Gonad-
t toting the sole supply, prices were well maintained. On
Friday, with only 470 qn. more, szelusively foreign, some
sleekness was perceptible, without however any noticeable
variation in pries.
Malt has oontinsed, as of late, to Rad • moderate sale at
unaltered rates.
. The oat supply exhibited a great falling off—there being
oely 11,230 qn. in all, of which 6,400 qrs. were forage,
I 4,300 qrs. Irish, the small remainder Scotch and English.
t Business was, eousequeutly, brisk is all sorts, at an ka-
t processes% of Is. per qr. on the best qualities, and those even
out of mediae* found beyen at an improvement of 6d.
per qr. Oa Wednesday there were 2,000 Irish reported
and 1,600 ye. foreign. A ready pleonasm was then found
for all sweet panda, at fully the pleviess prises. Oa Fri-

day, with the moderate addition .f 6,000 tyre. Men fOreiris
oinrlcet exhibited lees life— the eactinwthee of ethe
weather, and expected foreign supplies from a cheap in
the wind, evi..4ently producing caution on the part of bayers,
tkousrh no chanol of prices was quoted.
Beans and peas have intuited but little attention, and have
sot therefore partaken of the upward moven:sat in other
grais, though the arrivals hay. beet very moderate. There
were no foreign peas, and only 20 qrs. beans, and the Eng.
ash supply of the latter was but 436 qrs.: of the former,
180 qrs. The reported failure of peas in Germany ha
i
made holm rather more In request, aid Rae samples of

been Arse, very little bee been passing.

buyers in plenty. Rapeseed ho de its price, as well as

low. Mastardseed, cutaway, sad coriander, much as last
'rioted.
The country markets this week have presented very
similar features to those of Leaden, a general rise in prises
being noted in all the principal plum. At Liverpool, Man-
chester, Lyon, Leeds, Boston, Spalding, Gainsborougb, sad
Gull, there hea been an advance of 4s. to 64, with active
busisem ; at Louth, St. Ives, and Market Run, the ries
bas been 3e. to 4e. ; at Melton Mowbray, Lewis, Bristol,
Wakefield, sad Birmingham, 2.. to 35. At Newcastle, ou
Saturday, they were 1.. dearer only ; Norwieb unaltered.
An equal improvement has taken place in flour ; sad spring
corn generally has been In more favour, at a better price—
espeaally beans and Indira tors at Liverpool and Man-
chester, which were Is. to 2.. higher; but some decline was
toted on the Friday's report from Liverpool both in wheat
and maize, which latter closed at 39.. to 395. 6d. per quarter,
where there was a large arrival of Egyptian beans.
In Scotland it appears the weather has been lees favour-
able, though it is hoped little damage has been done by the
rains of the week. Both Glasgow and Edinburgh have
responded to London in the advance on what; but
potatoes us much better spoken of In the neighbour.
hdod of the former city. There continues a large exodus
of sgrieultural laboaren from th• north of Scotland to
Canada.

In Irelead, too, the rains have excited some apprehen-
sions; and though not much damage appears to have been
dose to the crops of grain—which are everywhere well
spoken of—they have served greatly to extend the potato
disease. Throughout Fermanagh and Cavan it is hared
nearly one-third of the early potatoes are literally
gone, and there are many fears for the late ones. Oats
and barley have she been a good deal laid. In'
the aeighbourbood of Viexford the potatoes are still
worse reported. At Galway barley and oats are a
good deal laid, but potatoes are less diseased. There
is also a great scarcity of hands for harvest work. In
Tipperary, Illowsre have obtalned 7s. to Bs. par day ;
while the general rate of wages is Is., with some appearance
of striking for more. At Stuff, 13s. to 161. per week, with
dist, had been paid. There had been a competition for
labourers, and Lord Gaillemore's steward had taken them
at 41. per day. At Dublin there are, as yet, but few com-
plaints respecting potatoes, which come in plentifully to
market, the smaller selling at 2d. per stone lees than others.
The markets generally experienced an atavisms on wheat in
the early part of the week, but towards the clew Dublin
showed symptom of decline. Foreign was dearer at Bel-
fast, and some new damp sold at 18e. per barrel. Similar
somata °omit from Cork and Waterford, where potatoes
are suffering extensively.
