COMMERCIAL AND MARKET&

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.)

The weather since last Monday, in London and in most
parte of the United Kingdom, continued wet and cold. Last
night the wind blew strongly from the west. This morning
the sky was cloudy, but without fresh rain. The amount'
from the interior of the country give generally a very
gloomy description of the growing grain crops. Not only are
they in • very backward state, but also the appearance
is sickly, the colour beginning to turn yellow even before
getting into ear. Of the wheat fields especially it is
moreover stated that the plants stand thin on the ground
and with many patches between, which are all indications
of a abort crop. The rains during the last eight days have
flooded all the low lands, and done great infnry to the crops.
The reports of most British corn market, held yester-
day advise a fresh rise in the price of wheat from 3s. to
es. per qr.
The attendance of the trade in Mark-lane to-day we
small, the tone very firm ; the course of prices was
steady, tending upwards. The supply of borne-grown grain
was moderate, and of country-made tour small. The im-
ports of foreign grain into London duos last Monday were
="this morning as fair of flour, fair of wheat, small
ivy, and large of OSSA

It is said that the insurance offices intend pre-
senting a petition to the Emperor, praying that a law may
be passed to prohibit the sale of matches made with white
ploiaphorus, and to allow none but those made of amor-
phuous phosphorus to be made for the future. Official
returns show that the average aminal number of accidental
Ares in France was about 2400 lip to 1838, before friction
matches came into use. In 1844 the number had risen to
4,000, which has constantly increased, till in 1857 there
were 10,000 area,

liam Clarke Driver, a clerk employed in the bank of
Meows. Oneneys and Birkbeck, of Norwich, was charged
before the magistrates of that city with arab:waling two
sums of 175/. and 1001. It appeared from the evidence that
ooe customer of the bank had paid in 175 L and another
5001., the prisoner acting as cashier at the bank counter.
Of the first rum there was no entry at all in tio book in
which the prisoner should have noted the amount, and as
authe maenad sum of 5001 credit was only given for
.dsThe prisoner was committed for trial. The 1751. mu
paid in so long since as July 10, 1858.
