CLERK EN W ELL.

Waliam Furdhgn:, a ;iyli;hly-aMired young mac, 'iglus
and colour manufacturer, of fib, Haim-garden, was sum-
moned before Mr. Harker, to show cause why he should not
contribute towards the support of an illegitimate child, of
which he was alleged to be the father.
Mr. Ricketts, solicitor for the complainant, in opening the
case, said the parties had known each other for some time,
and at the solicitation of the defendant the complainant
con/doted to walk out with him, and he wan accepted and
known by her friends es her intended. When they had
been out together for some time the defendant took the
complainant to his lodgings, and there he seduced her.
The intimacy continued for some time, and the resell
was that on the 12th September of last rat the COM•
plainant gave birth to a male child, and the defendant
ts the father of the child. After the birth of the
child the defendant went to see the complainant, and then
paid her money, and had done so eines. He had continued
to send the complainant money for the support of the child,
but bathe child now was nearly 12 moothe old it was thought
advisable to take these proceedings. He (Mr. Ricketts) would,
in leaving the can with his worship, just call the attention
of the court to the cunning displayed by the defendant io
sending the complainant money. He did not send it in his
own mime, but pretended it was seat by another party, as
the following letter—of which he had many more in his
ponsesion— would show :
Dear Emma,-1 hand you • Poet-office order, value 11.,
sent by William Maynard. It would have been seat before,
but em very poor just now.—Yours, ho., " W. F.
He (Mr. Ricketts) hoped the magistrate would make the
order for the full amount, with costa.
The defendant said be did not with, and had Dever
wished. to disown that he was the father of the child, an
it would be wicked of him to do es. He thought it wan
hard that he should be brought here on this charge, for he
could assure the court that he had not seduced the com-
plainant. When she was ill he paid all her expenses, and
mat hie own medical man to her.

THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.

These was too little trade to foreign for peons to alter, but
had sales been pressed lee money must have been accepted.
There was but a molerate supply of country dour ou
llooday, but the American arrivals wens good. All
sorts were • very heavy sale. Norfolk' and other
eolustry marks, though eaainelly se before. could only
be placed by accepting lower rates. There was no
pressure of Lowman barrels, and very little demand.
Town rates remained unaltered, 40.. being still the top
prim. On Wednesday then were 370 sacks per coast, Fiji

There was but a small supply of British barley on Mon-
day, and only moderate arrivals of foreign. Though the
fresh show of malting samples was by no means abundant,
end the colder weather was more favourable for maltsters,
there was very little demand, though rates were about
Is. to 2a per quarter lower. In foreign qualities there
was also • reduction of 6d. to Is. per quarter. On Wednes-
day there were 270 quarter" per toast, 1,420 quarters
foreign. Notwithstaadine the 'manses" of the supplies,

is money must have been accepted, and the prices of
foreign were rather in favour of buyers. Friday's returns
were 610 quarters coastwise, 5,260 quarters foreign. The
market remained Tag much deputised ; sales of malting
aorta were reported at low rates in the country, and buyers
held back in expectation al inore favourable terms.

but ear were slow. The week clawed without any new
baton.

Though the supplies of oats on Monday were not so heavy
as of late, there was more than enough for the demand.
Russian were less plentiful, bet Swedish and Irish more
abundant. Large dealers having well stocked themselves,
there was, but a feeble demand, sod factors were obliged to
make some commie= to buyers; it was however tnlling or
Russian sorts, and did not exceed 6d. per qr. oe others. On
Wednesday there were 30 qrs. per °oast. 2,460 qrs. Irish,
12,630 qrs. foreign. Homiest sorts obtained rather more

good qualities, bat all other descriptions were • very heavy

champ occurred at the close it the week.
There was a good arrival of bossed from India. with no
expiate. The whole, however, being much wanted, there
was no giving way in crashing seed, and cakes continued to
sell freely. The sale of these latter suddenly ceased at the
week's close, very probably from the fine rains.
The seed trade was v firm, without much paring in it.
Mustardseed was held higher, but sales were hindered.
Winter tares were is. per bushel lower front a better
