twin it, and in ono of them he stated that he was .so
savage at being disappointed in getting the money that he
could hardly write. The letters were subscribed, You de-
voted and very humble servant."
Mr. Hawkins cross.eiamined the w Rams, and endea-
voured to show that there was some understanding that the
defendant was to invest the money for Mrs. Hawkins, and
that he did not receive it on his own account; but Mrs. Fry
positively denied that anything of the sort took place.
Mr. Justice Cresswell inquired of the learned counsel it
this was the only point he bad to raise.
Mr. Hawkins said it was the defence suggested on his
brief.
Mr. Justice Creaswell said it appeared to him, that for
the sake of his client it would be better not to press the in-
quiry any further.
The jury then, under his lordship's direction, returned a
verdict ter the plaintiff for the full amount claimed.

OXFORD CIRCUIT.—AuuioDox, JULY 8.
Mr. Justice Crompton arrived here yesterday afternoon,
a little before five o'clock, and opened the commission in
the Court-house, adjoining the county prison, after which
him lordship attended divine service at the parish churekof
St. Helen's.
The calendar presents about 16 prisoners for trial, but
some of the cases are of a serious character. The following
is an analysis of the calendar :—Perjury, 1; rape, 1; at-
tempt to murder by strangling, 1 ' • burglary, 6; arson, 1;
wounding a policeman, 1 ; obstructing a railway, 1 , petty
larcenies, 6. At the time of the commission being opened,
there was only one cause entered for trial—the cue of Pin-
node a. the Great Western Railway, to recover damages for
being detained on the line al hours by reason of an ac-
cident, has been withdrawn for the present.

MA RKETS.

SUGAR. —The average price of Sugar, the produce of
the British possessions in America, computed from the re-
turns made in the week ending the bth July, 15.53, is
235. lljd. Sugar, the produce of the Mauritius, 245. sp.
Sugar, the produce of the East Indies, 28s. bd. llbe
average price of the three foregoing descriptions of Sugar,
jointly, is 245. sp.

COTTON.—Livznsoor., 3 ttxx B.—Our cotton market is
still struggling between the strengthening influrnee of the
advices from the United States on the one hand, and the
discouragement growing out ot European politics and the
Russian-Turkish question on the other. Neither do we
lose sight of the turnout of the workpcople at Stockpr.rt.
Under these circumstances, and from the disturbance ot the
Liverpoos election, which comes off this day, our market
has hem rather quiet than otherwise throughout the whole
week, but at the same time perfectly firm and strong as to
prices. Perhaps we might also add that in some instances a
slight advance has been paid, especially so in the middling
and better qualities of American. Brazils are also firm,
Maceies being perhaps a point dearer, although the quote d
prices remain as before. Surat', too, are perfectly steady.
Egyptians without change—the low and midd'ing qualities
heavy end difficult to sell. Ihe committee of brokers quote
fair uplands at 631.; Mobile, at Gid. • and Orleans at 61,t1.,
being a partial advance on last ' week's quotations. 2,330
American, 1,170 Surat, and 80 Egyptian, are reported to
have been taken on speculation; 8,950 American, 1,030
Surat, 920 Bengal, .500 Maranham, 450 Bahia. and 200
Pernam, for export. Sales for she week, 55,730 bales.

WOOL.—LzEns, JCLY B.—The foreign wool market is
moderately supplied at present with German fleece wool ;
but the advance of 2d. to 31. per lb. at the last fairs tends
materially to diminish the demand. Colonial wools have
been less inquired after during the past week, probably
from a desire on the part of buyers to see how prices will
rule at the next London sales, fixed to commence on the
14th inst. The manufacturers never found less difficulty in
disposing of available goons than at present, and are almost
completely out of stock of wool. These, with other considera-
tions, such as the belief that peace will not be disturbed,
' and that the abundance of money and the general prospe-
rity will continue, induce us to come to the conclusion that
present prices will be well maintained throughout at the
ensuing sales. The quantity to be offered, about 55,000
bales, is about the same as is usually sold at this period of
the year. English wool has been slow of sale this week,
and prices have rather tended downwards.

CORN.—CIIELNSTOIID, July B.—We had a very thin
attendance of farmers at market to-day, consequently •
short supply; high prices were asked, which checked busi.
ness, still an advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter was established
over last week's rates ; the feeling, however, was not so
animated as last week ; red, 4Ss. to 625. ; white, 525. to
561. ; extra, 675. No Beans offering. Oats and other
spring corn rather dearer.
LINCOLN, July B.—We have had a good show of Wheat
at market to-day ; farmers asking 3s. to 4s. per qr. over
the rates of last week. Millers, however, bought very
cautiously, and the small amount of business done was at
3s. advance ; red, 675. to 58s. ; white, att. to 61s.

LIVERPOOL, July B.—A considerable quantity of rain has
fallen in this district since Tuesday last, but it is now fine,
though not, to sppearnce, quite settled. Apprehensions for
the safety of the crops in France and other near continental
countries are somewhat allayed by the return of more fa-
vourable weather, end, with this change for the bettor,
there has not been a continuance this week of the extreme
excitemeat previously experienced ; the rapid advance of
prices, caused even more by legitimate consumptive
demand than by speculative operations, has thus been
in some measure checked in its further movement; a good
extent of business has, however, been doing from day to
day both in Wheat and Flour, and, for choice
qualities in particular, full prices paid. The Irish sad Scotch
have responded to the improvement in the English markets,
and in no quarter does there appear to be any excess of
stock either in merchants' hands at the ports or those of
millers in the country ; there is a fair :washer of arrivals at
Cork and Falmouth ; many of the Wheat cargoes are
ordered to the continent. With the exception of foreign
Wheat, and a taw arrivals of Indian Corn and barrel Flour,
our imports of the past three days are very trifling ; the
export of Flour, chiefly coastwise, exceeds 4,000 brls., within
the same period. There is, at this day's market, a
limited number of country buyers, and the election interferes
with the attendance of the local trade. Most purchasers
having recently supplied their requirements pretty liberally,
the general business to-day proses of only moderate
amount. Wheats are held very firmly, at late quota-
tions. Flour has commanded buyers at a slight concession
in some cases. Oats and Oatmeal steady at the late im-
provement. Egyptian Beans a slow sale at 353. Indian
Corn is is moderate r, quest at Tuesday's rates; several car-
goes arrived, and on the passage, have found buyer., at Da.
to 295. 3d. for Ibraila ; 30s. 1.1. to 30s. 6d. Galatz. Arrivals
into Liverpool from the sth to the 7th July, inalusive
Wheat, 10,120 qrs.; Barley, 166; Malt, 137. Oats, 660;
Beans, 82; Indian C0ra,6,6.50 ; Oatmeal, 49 sacks;
Flour, 1,465 sacks, 4,370 barrels. Exports to Ireland:
Wheat, 63 qrs. ; Indian Coro, 805 ; Flour, 571 barrels.

WainriELD, July B.—Our markets have been mere qui°
this week, but in the agricultural districts, farmers are by
no means free sellers, and they report the Wheat crop as far
from promising, whilst the local demand—with general
small stocks of millers—tends to keep prices up, and at
present the nags are ahvve thou. current here. To-day we
report the trade very firm, and Is. per qr. advance is ob-
tained on fresh qualities, but other sorts are steady without
alteration. Barley as before. Oats rather dearer, and
Shelling fully 2s. per load higher. Beans do not alter.
Other articles keep stationary. Imperts during the week :
Wheat, 8,167 qrs. ; Barley, 104; Oats, 103; Beans, 641.
