The insolvent, known ;;iir. Pech," who had been mu-
sical director of the English Open ►t Drury-line Theatre,
was further heard. _ _ _ .

Mr. Dowse opposed for a creditor named Joseph Braham ;
and Mr. Cockerel', a creditor, appeared in person ; Mr. Sar-
good supported.
Fur one week at Faster the insolvent was the musical di-
rector of English Opera at Driny-lane Theatre. The rent
was 125/. a week, and he alleged that the speculation failed,
because a sufficient sum of money had not been advanced by
Henry Braham, who had promised, he isid, to make ad-
vances. _ _

-----
Several complaints were urged. Mr. Cockerel] had lent
2151. for ten days, on the insolvent saying he was not liable
in the theatre. The insolvent denied the allegation, and
said when he had the money he had not become liable. The
complaint of Joseph Braham was, that the insolvent had
allowed his mother.tt-law, Mrs. Noble, to obtain an execu-
tion and take his furniture for advances to his wife when
they were *operated. He denied that he had rendered any
assistance to hie mother-in-law.

The Coart was of opinion that there was nothing in the
awe to prevent the insolvent having his discharge, and it
was decreed.

iheTa;:was ant concluded till put 6 o'clock.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—BIUDFORD, JILT 211—The
wool market is very flat and quiet. Old stocks in the halide
of staplers have disappeared and have been sold at prices at
which they cannot be replik,rod. There is now nothing but
new wool to fall back upon, and of this an unusually large
quantity is now collected in the warehouses. In times like
the present there are always timid holders, and those who
sell have to take less money. Upon bright-haired sorts a
fall of 10a. from the highest point has been established ; but
those who are able to hold do so in the full couvictiou that
this depreciation will not be permanent. Down wools have
not given way to the same extent as bright-haired qualities.
Spinners generally are very heavy of stock, but they
are not willing buyers at current rates. In wile
and shorts trade keeps steady both in demand and
price. There is not much in worsted yarns. Spinners
are for the most part engaged to order. There is, however,
a fair demand for export. The home trade is rather quieter.
There is no alteration in prices. There is more doing in
pieces, but the manufacturers still complain of the want of
orders, which in former years have been more geeeral than
at present. The bad weather has so far had its influence in
keeping tack the merchants from ordering anything beyond
their absolute wants.

METALS.—There is very little of interest to note in
our market, operations of all kinds being much restricted.
Copper is unchanged in quotations, and prices of foreign
continue to be disproportionately high, which turns the
demand on English, and gives steadiness to the market for
the latter description. There have been no fresh arrivals of
consequence in London. Iron remains without improve-
ment, being dull in all branches. Scotch pig has recetbal
somewhat in price. Tin sells steadily, and prices are main-
tained. Spelter has changed hands to a mall extent only,
and there are few buyers at our quotations. Lead has had
rather more attention, buyers having come in to a fair ex-
tent, but priors are unchanged. Tin plates are a trifle
easier to buy.—From the Circular of Meaars. Truman and
Fry, dated Wednesday Evening.

CORN.—Briormottaa. JULY 26.—During the present
week, although the weather has been finer, wheat haa sold
at an advance of Is. to. 2s. per quarter ; and the millers
have risen the retail prices of flour: s. 4d. per sack. Barley
Bells fully at lest week's rates. Otte only find buyers in
limited quantities. Beans neglected. Less posing in peas.
At Wolverhampton yesterday the wheat trade ruled dull at
an advance of la. to 2s. per quarter. At this day's market
there was en increased supply of English wheat, for which
very high prices were asked, and the sales made were at Is.
to 2s. per quarter above the currency of this sennight ;
but this improvement did not extend to foreign . Barley
sold readily, but was rather lower. Oats foun buyers in
retail, at previous rates. Beans sold more freely. Yeas
rather cheaper.
Borrox, Jut 25.—We have had a small show of wheat
at market to-day, which met with a slow sale at Is. to 2s.
per qr. advance on but Wednesday's prices. Nothing doing
spring corn.

DEVIZES JOLT 26.—We had a good time-of-year supply
of wheat, for which, at the opening of the marker, the
fanners asked higher prices ; this checked business, but
ultimately a fair trade was done at last week's prices, and
in saute few instances at an advance of L. a qr. Beau
were in improved demand, and L. • qr. dearer. Wheat,
beat, fage. to 655.; middling, 51s. to 5&.; inferior, 40s. to
Ms. Barley, 345. to 445. Oats, El.. to Ss. Beaus, 46e. to
50s. Peas, 42a. to 465. Flour, fine, 495. to 52*. per sack ;
seconds, 445. to 475.
ILAZICHESTEIL, JELT 26.—Our market this morning
was well attended, but millers having supplied them-
selves freely of late, and the weather ding more
genial, only • moderate business was done in wheat at an
advance of Is. to 2s, per quarter upon fresh English, and
id. per 70Iba. on foreign. Flour was generally held for an
advance of Is. per sack, but the sale was slow. Oats and
oatmeal were without alteration. Indian corn was held for
• slight improvement, whilst Egyptian beans may be quoted
rather deem.

NgWARI, JULY 25.—The weather fair to-day. Factors
rafused to give the extreme prices required by farmers. A
small business only was doing in wheat at 21. advance on
last week's rates. In other grain no alteration. Wheat,
white, 60s. to 65e.; red, 555. to 60s. per 36 stone. Farley,

which there was a steady sale at an advance of from Is. to
2s. per qr. Merely a retail trade in barley. Oats, beans,
and peas firm at late rates.
UXBRIDGE, JULY 26.—The weather is again tine ; the
attendauce of farmers is small, and but few samples of grain
offering. The trade for wheat is at improved prices, la. to
2s. per qr. Beans are also 2s. per qr. higher.
WATERFORD. JULY 25.—With a continuance of fine
weather, and rather liberal arrivals of foreign grain, our
market is quiet for all articles of the trade at about late
rates, with the exception of oats, which, being very scarce,
command rather more money.
