INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-SATURDAY.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips was sufficiently recovered
from his late accident to take his seat on the bench.
IN THE MATTER OF TILE REV. THEODORE WILLIAMS
THE ELDER, THE VICAR Or HENDON.—GREAT DRIME-
CIATION or WIAT INDIA PROPERTT.

This insolvent, the Vicar of Hendon, applied to be dis-
charged from the Queen's Pri.on. The schedule filed
in this case is of a goodly sise, containing 158 creditors
and 70 debtors. The debts owing are 64,2441. in the ag-
gregate, and for 14,2872 no consideration had been received,
leaving the actual debts, beginning in 1812, at 39,8572 os. Bd.
The debts due to the insolvent are 6,5221. The income from
tithes is about 8001. a year as vicar of Hendon, besides
which he had bad considerable West India property, and
Mrs. Williams has a separate es ate of 4041. a year. The
insolvency was attributed to the great depreciation of West
India property, and to leases sustained on the purchase of
pictures.
Mr. Thnmpson anpeared as counsel for Mr. William
Daniels, and Mr. Dowse on the par! of a gentleman named
Dawson. A tailor in Regent-street, named Ender, ap•
peered in person. The application for discharge was sup-
ported by Mr. Cooke and Mr. Sargood.
Mr. Thompson informed the court that Mr. Daniels had,
in February last, discounted two 501. bills for Mr. Williams,
giving him 801. His complaint was that he had made cer-
tain statements to induce him to make the advance. Same
transactions had occurred between them two or three years
before, and in February last the insolvent told him he was
in some difficulty as to one of his curates, who had sued
him, and he required some money.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips remarked it was clear he knew
there were some difficulties.

Mr. Thomp,oa said he should have stated that he antici-
pated some difficulty. Further he told Mr. Daniels he wu
otherwise free.

Dlr. Cooke wished to have Mr. Denies called as a wit-
ness rather then have the eta[ement made.

Mr. Commissioner Phillips preferred the statement at
present.
Some objection was taken to the attendance of Mr.
Daniels in mutt while the statement was being made, on
which a discussion arose, and
Mr. Daniels said he dud not wish to oppose, bat only
wanted to know what had become of a chronometer worth
401.

It was explained by Mr. Lewis (Lewis and Lewis), at-
torney for the insolvent, that it had been taken in execu-
tion, and purchased by a Arm, in whose possession it or-
rosined.

Mr. Daniels said he did not wish vindictively to oppose,
and retired from the opposition.
Mr. Ender opposed in person. He had supplied the in-
solvent with goods, and took a bill, which he had paid
away, and had been obliged to take it up.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips said, if that was ell he bad to
state there was no point of opposition in his case.
Mr. Dowse had no opposition to offer.
Mr. Commissioner Phillips concluded the case by observ-
ing that there was a vast number of er. ditors on the sche-
dule, but only two, or nominally three, had appeared. One
case was only half open and the creditor withdrew. The
extreme case was a creditor for whom Mr. Dowse was in-
structed, and he had nothing to offer. The middle case was
a complaint that some goods had been obtained and not paid
i for. Under such circumstances, with no other creditor ap.
peering, it was not in his opinion the duty of the court to
usurp their place, and to turn itself into an opposition ere-
, ditor. His Honour regretted to see the gentleman before
him, filling as he did such a high position, and who had suf-
fered from the depreciation of West India property. They
all knew it had greatly depreciated. There was no fraud
or taint of any proceeding on the rev. gentleman, and no-
thing on which be could venture to take cognisance.
The insolvent was sworn to his schedule, and ordered to
be discharged forthwith.

looking creature, named Dennis Sullivan, No. ll,Cooper's-
court, Sergeant Price discovered 13 &Quits and one child
sleeping on the floor. There were no beds, no partitions
for the separation of the sexes, and the men and women,
some of whom wcre stark naked, were lying side by side
on dirty rags or straw, as a substitute for beds. There nu
no retiring place attached to the house, no water laid on,
and none of the wholesome regulations made by the Com-
missioners of Police were complied with. Only five persons
would have been allowed in the room if the place had been
registered. Proof was given that the defendant had been
served with notice to register and conform to the regula-
tions, which he had not done.
Mr. Ingham fined the defendant Is. and costa only, and,
in default of payment, six days' imprisonment, and said
that a repetition of the offence would be visited with a
severe penalty.
Mary Husky, who occupies a small and dirty room in
Cooper's-court, from which a nausroiri effluvium proceeded,
was found to have nine adults and one child, closely packed
together on the floor when Price visited the room. It was
a second offence, and Mr. Ingham fined the woman 40s.
and costs for not registering her place, and confurm.ng to
the smitary regulations of the commissioners, and, in de-
fault of payment, one month's imprisonment.
Gaiaan, of No. 6, Plough-court, whose house is
registered for 35 inmates, was summoned for not keeping
his beds and linen in a wholesome state.

Price said the sheets of the beds were black and dirty,
and required washing, and some of the beds were covered
with myriads of vermin, and were in a shocking state.
Mr. Ingham fined the prisoner 40i. and costs.

MARKETS.

COTTON.—LIVERPooL, Jusin 11.—The market closed
tamely, without change upon yesterday's quotations. The
sales amounted to 4,000 bales-500 for export and the rest
to spinners—and comprised 140 Perna= and Maranham.
64d. to NA ; 60 Bahia, did. to 61d. ' • 300 Surat, 4d. to
; 40 Sea islands, 2s. to 2s. 3d. per lb.
- • • -

Mitxcasierisit, Jesa 11.—We have • rather quiet mar-
ket for both yarns and cloths, but still there is now business
enough, when added to the last contracts, to account for
the tolerable degree of firmness manifested on all hands
amongst producers. The serious shock which confidence
has sustained by the position of affairs between Russia and
Turkey would probably have led to more serious rffecta on
prices but for the strikes taking place amongst the mill
hands, which, by reducing production, will encourage sel-
lers te hold back their goods for the chance of a more
favourable opportunity. In Stockport the turn-out is all
but general, and 20,000 operatives were on strike this
evening; and though some eight or ten of the employers
are reported to have ahead/ conceded the demand of t. n
per cent, rise in w•ges,whose workpeoplo will resume thi it
employment on Monday, yet a large proportion of the
people will still be nut of work. In Manchester a large
cotton spinner is reported to have conceded a rise of nine
per cent, to his operatives. A larger business is doing in
domcslics than for some time past, and shirting cloths and
printers command a fair share of attention. Spinners, ex•
cept in fine numbers, hardly show so much firmness es ma-
nufacturers of cloth, and in some few instances to-day
sellers might be met with on rather easier terms than
on Tuesday.

CORN.—BOSTON, June 11.—Our market has been scan-
tily supplied with Wheat to-day, and Wednesday's prices
fully supported; red, 495. to 515.; white, 535. No change
to note in the value of Beans.

CAMBRIDGE, June 11.—The Wheat trade was dull, at
lut week's prices. All spring corn in short supply and
d . The weather is very hot and dry. Wheat, red,
38s. to 425. ; white, 445. Barley, 28s. to 301. Beans, 38s.
to 40s. Peas, 365. to 40s. Oats, 18.. to 245.

CANTERBURY, June 11.—We had a moderate supply of
grain at market this week. Wheat was better in price, with
advances from la. to 2s. per qr. Wheat, brown, old, 505.;
new, 40s. to 475. 6d. • white, new, 475. to 625. Barley, new,
345. Beans, new, 365. Peas, 365.

CARtista, June 11.—There was again a limited supply
of Wheat in this day's market, with a better demacd than
last week, and prices were fully Gd. per bushel in advance.
Barley was dull, with a fair average supply, whilst for Oats
these was a fair demand ; the supply of the latter was small.
COLCIIISTER. June 11.—A fair supply of Wheat; the
sale free at an advance of 2s. per qr. Barley and Peas
almost nominal in supply and demand. Beans 2s. dearer,
and but few offered.

GUILDFORD, June 11.—Our market was moderately sup-
plied with Wheat, for which there was a brisk demand. at
an advance of 2s. per qr. on the best run., and Is. on the
lower qualities. Wheat, 365. to 560.. Barley, 265. to 325.
Oats, 19s. to 235. Beans, 365. to 425.
HERTFORD, June 11.—The supply of Wheat at our
market to-day fair ; the finest parcels made rather more
money, still the trade was extremely heavy. Barley sold
at last week's prices. Oats, Peas and Beans, fully support
former prices. Wheat, 235. to 365. per load. Barley, 241.
to 325. per qr. Oats, 16s. to 245. Peas, 225. to 245. per
load. Beans, 225. to 275. Tares, 20s. to 22,. ltye, 19s.
to 21s.

MANCHESTER, June ll.—ln the early part of the
week there was a good sale for flour at a further im-
provement on the rates current on the preceding market
day. Subsequently the trade has been less animated, but
the supplies continuing scanty, holders have not relaxed is
their pretensions as regards prices. Oats and °shwa' have
ruled steady, both in value and demand. About 2,000
quarters of oats constitute the chief arrivals from Ireland at
Liverpool this week, whilst from our own coast the supplies
are altogether unimporr.nt. From abroad the imports of
wheat are liberal, and fair of flour and Indian corn. Not-
withstanding some refreshing showers last night and this
morning our market to-day maintained a very buoyant tone,
and wheat must be noted 34. per 701bs. higher than on this
day se'nnight. On flour we likewise raise our quotations
fully Is. 01. per sack and 6d. per barrel. aits anu oatmeal
were firm at fully late rates, with better sale for fine cuts
of the latter article.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, June 11.—The trade during the
present week has shown a further tendency to improvement,
occasioned doubtless by the demand for the moment out.
stripping the supply. Wheat and Flour have each been
taken at an enhancement of 2s. per qr., and Is. per sack re-
spectively, with a fair consumptive business doing at the
advance. For superior new Uckermarke red Wheat 555.
per qr. has been obtained, and Mr. for Silesian white,
whereas our farmers' red has touched 565. per qr., a price
that has not been obtained since December last. Oats have
sold at rather more money, but with respect to other ar-
ticles no variation has occurred. At our market this morn-
ing we had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers,
but from the coast the arrivals are larger than of
late, but the demand proving corresponding, we have to
note an advance of fully 3s. per qr. upon farmers' samples,
choice red weighing Collbs. per bushel and upwards com-
manding 565. to 575. whilst choice New South Country found
buyers at 565., and ;est runs at 545. per qr., weighed Ms.
Upon foreign the rise mare be estimated above 2s. since
this day se'nnight, whilst the disposition to pinchese each
qualities was not so great as on Tuesday, arising, possibly,
from the fact that our millers have sufficient of such quali-
ties for mixing. For a choice lot of new Danish red, 51s.
was obtained, but 555. couli not be exceeded for red
Uckermarke. Flour sold tolerably freely, and although
365. was exceeded to-day for choice households, yet we du
not hold out a higher figure just now for such sorts, although
it is not improbable, with moderate receipts, better prices
will be made as the warehoused stocks and thoroughly
exhausted. Fine Rye is wanted. Grinding Barley the
turn dearer, with rather more inquiry, and the same may
be said of fine season-made Malt. Beans and Peas are also
pointing upwards. With Oats we were scantily supplied by
our growers, and all choice and fresh sorts found a quick
sale at the tarn in favour of the seller. The arrivals this
week are: Wheat, coastwise, 2,233 qrs.; foreign, 1,000;
Rye, coastwise, 37; Barley, foreign, 210; Flour, 3,491 sacks.
NORWICH, June 11.—Our market was this day scantily
supplied with Wheat by both farmers and merchants, and
prices advanced fully 2s. psi qr. on the currency of this
day week; these advanced prices brought out a good
many over-year parcels, and which, if fresh, commanded
2s. per qr. above the price of the yield oflaue harvest. The
growing crop looks remarkably healthy and well, the
Barley crop is feeling this long drought, but a few . genial
showers, we doubt not, will put all in a fair promise for a
good crop at harvest. Beans and Peas are a short supply,
and rather advanced prices were paid for really prime
qualities. Oats were a slow sale at a trifle over Is. per
stone. Fine household Flour was is demand at ls. 6d. per
sack over the price of this day ae'nnight, and 345. to 355. is
the current price, f.o.b.
PETERBOROUGH, June 11—We had a Ear quantity of
What offering hero to-day, and what little did change
hands was at an advance of Is. to N. per qr. Oats and
Beans each Is. per. qr.dearer.

&RADIX(/' Jane 11.—Wo had a fait supply of Wheat, and
for all prime samples there was a ready sale at Is. to 2s. per
qr advance; secondary qualities, with which a great part
of the market was supplied, were very heavy in disposal.
All other kinds of Corn without alteration. One lot of old
Wheat made 63a., and one lot of new, 62e. per qr.

WISHECII, Jane IL—We are pretty well supplied with
Wheat to-day; but little of other groin. Good fresh
Wheat meets a ready sale at Is. to 21. per qr. over last week's
prices. Oats, Beane, and Barley the turn in price in favour
of the seller. Weather beautifully fine, but rain wanted.

WORCESTIIIt, Jun. 11.—Our market was well attended
by the farmers, and they offered their Wheat at from 2s. to
43. per qr. over the currency of this day ee'nnight. Barley
unaltered. Oats fully as dear. The high relative price
checks the demand for Beans.
Tonic, June 11.—We have a very small show of Wheat
from our farmers, which has met a free sale at fully 2s.
per qr. above Lilt week's prices. Flour baa advanced 2s.
per suk. Is other articles no alteration. The following
are the present prices. Wheat, white, 535. to 565. per
qr. imperial ; red' 50s. to 525. ; Beans, 420. ; Malt, 58s. to
60s. ; Oats, 01d. to 10d. per stone of 14145.; Flour, 30s.
to 411. per rack of 2801 be.

CORK, June 10.—For the put week the weather has
been mut favourable for vegetation. The accounts fiom
the country districts are, in coesequence, most cheering.
We are scantily supplied this week with both native and
foreign grain. Prices of Wheat to-day are fully 2s. dearer
from the lowest point, whilst Indian Corn continues to re-
cede, and is fully Os. per ton lower on the week. Farmers'
Wheat so little to market that prices must be considered no-
minal. Foreign Wheat in better demand, at the advance
quoted above ; Marianople now brings 255. to 255. Oil. ;
Odessa, 225. to 22s Od.; Egyptian, 21s. for Snide ; 20s. for
Bahia. Barley maintains its previous value. Oats 3d. dearer.
Indian Corn dull, at Os. decline. We quote Galata and Odessa
71. Se. to 71. 7s. ed.; Ibrsil, 61. 12a. Bd. to 81. 171. 6d.
Several parcels of prepared Oats changed kends this week

at 3d. per barrel advance ; Blacks, are worth 10s. 9d. ; White,
Ils. f.o.b. ; at these pricts they are a free sale. Flour, firm
without change in value. Oatmeal as last noted. Indian
Meal 2s 6.1. dearer. The receipts of native produce to the
Corn Market during the week have been : Wheat. 95 bar-
rels, 21s. to 235. per brl. ; Barley, 68, 12s. to 12s. 9d. ; 0.010,
671, WS. to. 12s. 641. And the receipts to this day's mar-
ket have been, Barley, 140 barrels, 12s. 6si. to I'2s. 75. per
brl. ; Oats, 62, 11s. 4d. to 11s. 85.
_ _ _ _ _

WATZSPORD, June 11.—Our imports this week consist of
one cargo of Black Sea Wheat; and from farmers, supplies
arc confined to a few solitary load of Oats. The trade has
been tolerably active, with a tendency to further improve-
ment in prices. Wheat: The demand for this article con-
tinues good, and large sales have been effected during the
week at :I farther advance of 3d. to 6.1 per barrel on all qua-
lities. Oats commanded a brisk sale in the early part of the
week, at an improvement of 3d. to 4d. ps r barrel, but buyers
have since become cautious, anu the extreme advance
on the week does not exceed 2d. to 3.1. per barrel.
Barley, fur grinding, meets more inquiry, without bringing
fuward supplies. Indian Corn sells steadily, at the full
prices of last week ; gooks of this article have declined
rapidly of late. Flour, with an increased demand, must be
quoted dearer by Gd. per sack. Imports this week Wheat,
1,960 qrs. Exports this week: Wheat, 31 brls.; Oat., 6,554;
Flour, 632 sacks ; Oatmeal, 13 ewts.

Klukcahnv,June e have had fine summer weather
during the week, and, latterly, u much rain has fallen us
will secure the braird of Turnips. Potatoes come up well;
the breadth planted is greater than at one period of the
season we expected. At our country markets this week
farmers offered very little grain of soy kind, and, where
they did, asked extravagant prices, for Wheat particularly.
Little business resulted, although buyers offered 2.. per qr.
sovance on Wheat. lime to-day we had small supplies of
Wheat and Oats, and only one sack of Barley. Farmers
asked high prices fur Wheat, which checked bales; an ad-
vance, however, of 2.. per qr. was paid. Oats were 6.1. to Is.
per qr. dearer. Wheat, 455. to 535. per qr. Barley, 30..
Oatmeal, per bag of 2tolbs., 196. to 235.
