Mr. Belderbeek-Bbe says she thinks the Christian faith

Mr. Martin—lt will be very unfair to swear her upon

Mr. Taylor (the chief clerk)—The lost time she was hem

Mr. Dayman—Ask her what religion she professes.
Mr. Belderbeck—She scarcely knows what religion she is.
Mr. Hayman—l cannot swear her, as nothing would be
binding upon her. It I did there would be the statement of
the t against her.
Mr. Herring—There would be her oath against the dos
toadies statement. If she was sworn she would prove
that the defendant caught her by the throat very roughly,

Mr. Daymmt—lt is not usual to swear defendants in sash

MARICIIa

THR CORN TRADE.

BrlMerwonant, Dec. 2.-Daring the pest month the
weather has been remarkably dry, cad between the 7th and
24th we had a severe host ; this lasted longer than any pre-
vious November frost for many years past. la Birmingham
the thermometer was at one dm 12 degrees below freezing;
and in low damp situations we believe it sunk much lower.
Since the 25th the temperature has become quite warm, and
some rain has fallen. Upon the whole, the season has this
year bean again remarkably favourable for sowing wheat ;
and thus the foundation of mother good crop has been laid. '
The frost has been very serviceable in checking the early
planted wheat, which was in places becoming too luxuriant.
The wheat market has declined Is. to 2e. per quarter since
the commencement of the past month. Hitherto the supply
from the farmers has been about equal to the demand;
although latterly they have shown leas disposition to sell.
The easterly winds bat for some time kept out sup-
plies of foreign, excepting those from the North and
Baltic ports; but slum the change of the pest week
the arrivals at the ports of call from pieces beyond the
Straits of Gibraltar have been ocemiderable. The lest
accounts from the Baltio report some of the northern ports
as already closed, and the others expected to be so soon •
those of the Atoll wore interrupted, bat it wee considered
probable that with a change of wind further shipments might
be Slotted before they ware finally frozen up for the winter.
At Taganrog, and in the interior, considerable contracts bad
been made fur spring delivery at higher prices than the corn
would at present be worth for shipment to this country ; sad
the opinion seems general, that we shall, after Christmas,
have some advance oa the very reduced rates now current.
A rise of Is. to 2s. per qr. having taken place in the price in
France. imports from thence cannot continue, except at •
lose. The arrivals of wheat into Gloucester for the past
eleven months have exceeded those of the corresponding
period last year by 91,000 qrs. ; while the stock in bend
exceeds that of 12th month lay 1157, by only 11,000 qrs. Oor
present prices are, English red wheat, ss. to 6s. 6d. ; white,
6s. 3d. to 6s. ; foreign red, 5142 d. to 64.6 d. ; white, 66.6 d. to
fie. 10d. per 62 lbs., at Birmingham, at which than Is no
margin for profit from any foreign port. Wheat is now
largely need in this country for pig feeding; end It Is esti-
mated that in some of the eastern counties more is =sa!
to embed than they usually ship the consuming
The price of the better descriptions of barley has her fully
maintained, but that of esoondary matinee has gives way
nearly 2s. per quarter, and, alchomb there has bee • steady
end extensive demand, the stock at present in Gioncester of
all kinds la 48,812 quarters, whilst at the same period last
year It was 12,330 qua:tars. The imports have exesedsd
those of the same period last year by 123.000 quarter.. The
finest Odessa end Irish grinding sell at 265. to 27e.; heated
Danube down to 235. per 400 lbe. at Gloucester. The ar-
rivals of oats at Gloucester have been quite light doting
the last month; still they have given way in pries 2a,
• but es the enormous imports of foreign into

months, we think this grain must have reached the lowest

Although the imports of beans continue very smell prices

to the English crop proving on thrashing lager tea was
