SOUTH LANCASHIRE ASSIZES,

CROWN
COURT.-YESTERDAY

His Lordship, Baron Martin, took his seat in this court
at nine o'clock yesterday, and proceeded with the criminal
business.

present action. After the case had proceeded some time, the
defendant consented to a verdict for the plaintiffs, for £2O,
and costs, over and above £4 13s, which had been paid into
court.

CorroN The Cotton market continues much in the
same position as noticed in our last ; the demand for
American continues fair, but the supply has been sufficient
for all requirements, particularly of the lower qualities,
prices of which are scarcely maintained, whilst the middling
and better classes remain firm. Brazil have been dull,
except Pernams (taken for export) which are Id per lb
dearer. Egyptian without change. Surat are again rather
easier. The sales are 41,710 bales, of which 7,340 are on
speculation, and 4,570 for export.

St. Lucia at 395, 2,500 mats Mauritius at 39s 3d, 300 bags
low yellow Dates at 395, and 50 hhds indirect foreign West

COFFEE : There was little disposition shown to purchase
the Singapore offered by auction, and only a few lots of
damaged found buyers ; 50 bales Mocha sold at 40s to 493,
also 125 bags Rio at 435, and 50 hhds Ceara at 41s to 48s
per cwt.

TEA : We have a very quiet market ; common Congou 91,d
per lb; there is a good assortment of Shanghai Greens
offering out of the late arrivals.

RICE : About 1,350 bags Bengal are reported at 9s 9d
to 10s, and 600 bags yellow cargo at 8s 6d to 8s 9d per

SALTPETRE

There is nothing to notice,

SAFFLOWER : 30 bales BengarhavebroUght 85s per cwt.
PnovisioN : The demand for beef this week is very slow.
which, with the heavy arrivals, has led to an increased
desire on the part of some holders to realize, and a decline
of 2s to 33 per tierce must be quoted on ordinary sorts; the
better descriptions are however firmly held at former rates.
Pork sells readily as landed, but, so far, the supply of
American is short of what is required ; the trade take Irish
as a substitute. The market for Bacon, whilst very firm, is
somewhat at a pause, the dealers wishing to see the effect of
the arrivals uow landing. This will be tested on Tuesday,
when between 2,000 and 3,000 boxes will be submitted to
auction. The sales of Lard for the week exceed 200 tons,
at full prices. The country demand for refined lard is
unusually active. There is a fair but not active demand for
Cheese. At the reduced quotations for Tallow there Is
somewhat more steadiness.

CORN. —This morning's market was tolerably well
attended, and we had several buyers from interior counties.
The wheat trade exhibited an improving tone, fine samples
have become quite scarce, and good qualities are far from
plentiful, so that with greater disposition to go into stock,
our prices of Tuesday have been strongly supported upon
a fair, though not large, extent of business. Prime flours
support their value, but inferior descriptions, comprising
the bulk of the American stock, are very difficult of sale at
6d per barrel reduction, and Spanish sells only in retail at
our extreme quotations. Egyptian beans find a considerable
inquiry, and rather more money paid, with a few parcels
left unsold. ()As and oatmeal dull, without change. In-
dian corn is in request and held firmly for Tuesday's rates;
a moderate business has transpired : scarcely any samples
of our present large arrivals have yet been obtained, and
the show at market is consequently limited. In other
articles no alteration. Arrivals from the 25th to the 27th
March, 1856, inclusive : From Ireland, 510 qrs wheat, 15
qua malt, 2,566 qrs oats, 382 sacks oatmeal, 40 sacks flour;
Coastwise, 290 qrs wheat, 565 qrs malt, 38 qrs oats; United
States, 8,970 qrs wheat, 21,0.36 qrs Indian corn, 26,741
brls flour ; Europe, &c., 600 qrs wheat, 350 qrs pease, 2,780
qrs Indian corn, 4,900 brls flour ; Egypt, 2,600 qrs wheat,
1,300 qrs beans. Total, 12,970 qrs wheat, 580 qrs malt,
2,604 qrs oats, 1,300 qrs beans, 350 qrs pease, 23,816 qrs
