THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

27tonae Goode, described as • bricklayer, was brought
before the Lord Moyer and Sir It. Carden, sitting is petty
seesions, charged with stealing • silver watch, value aos.,
from the person of Robert Torrey, • private in the Royal
Marines, on the Old Swan Pier, on Sunday afternoon.
Mr. Wontner appeared for the prisoner.
The circumstances of the cue were of the usual character.
The prosecutor saw his gusrd hanging, sod on turning round
saw his watch in the prisoner's hand.
Two metropolitan officers proved two former convictions
against him, and the Lord Mayor was about to send the pri-
soner for trial, but as the prosecutor was about to leave
the country, he, after conferring with Sir Robert, sentenced
him to six mouths' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
(From the Mark-lant Express.)

The flour market at Paris, influenced by the fine weather,
scarcely maintained its firmness, rates for the finest qualities
being 70f. to 74f. per 157 kilns. (equal to 455. to 475. Bd. per
280Ibs. English). The four marks for the current month
wer.s dull, at 71f. 25e. to 71f. 50e. per 157 kilos. (45e. 10d.
to 46e. per Miss.) Inferior qualities were still more
difficult to quit. The wheat trade was of the same
character, sales being almost impossible without a re-
daction of 50 to 75 centimes per sack-say 9d. to le. 2d.
per qr. Ordinary descriptions were quoted 37f. 50e. to
381. 50e. (57e. 3d. to 58e. 9d.), fine to 401. (61e. per qr,),
choice 40f. 50e. to 41f. per sick of 14 beet. (61s. 9d. to
file. 6d. per qr.) Farmers were very averse to lower prices,
notwithstanding the dulness, and so diminished their offers.
Rye remained at M. per 115 kilos. (3.9 e. 6d.), and the best
barley at 21f. per 100 kilos. (32e. per quarter). Oats, though
not dearer, were still firm for the beet qualities, at 361. per
150 kilos. (Vs. 6d. per quarter). A contract for the army
would be taken oo the 22nd inst. The seed trade was over,
but prices for red cluverseed, in consequence of the small-
ness of stocks, remained at 110 f. to 130 f. per bale. The
market for rapeseed had calmed, in consequence of the im-
provement in the weather. There was more tendency to
lower rates for wheat in the country, the number of those
for a decline exceeding those for a rise. Havre, Nantes, and
Marseilles were all dull. Bordeaux more firm, at 25f. to
27f. per 80 kilos. (575. 3d. to 625. per quarter). In oats the
movement was still upwards.
With improved weather throughout Belgium, markets
were losing their firmness. Brussels, well supplied,
quoted wheat 53e. 6d. to 63e.' rye 34e. per quarter. With
fair arrivals of wheat from Denmark, Sweden, Hamburg,
and England, Antwerp found little doing. Liege being but
.cautily supplied, was steady in prices. Wheat 59e. 6d. to
61e. per quarter.
With but little difference noted in prices throughout
Holland, buyers were expecting lower rates, and business
was limited.
_ _

Improved weather made buyers at Cologne more re-
served ; but holders were reluctant to submit to much re-
duction, wheat on the spot being quoted 645. Gd. to :km,
for May Me. 9d., for November Ms. fid. per quarter.
The more favourable time has influenced prices at
Mayne*, though but slowly. Good wheat of Franconia
was quoted fCia. M., Bavarian, Ms. per quarter. It was,
however, confirmed that the late frosts bad so injured some
go e
piecesrLf
(Ts and rape plants that they were ploughed up.
nod Lucerne haul also suffered extensively.
Mach harm had also been done in the neighbourhood of
Mannheim, though it had lately become mild, with some
run. Wheat there was quoted Ms. per quarter.
A thirtv•hours' fall of rain had been experienced at Berlin,
with a mild temperature, and even some heat highly bene-
ficiaL Prices of cereals, which were previously rising, were
suddenly checked. The wheat had stood the season well,
and was promising ; and the fears for other grain were
much leaseued.

A perfect calm continued at Odessa, the only article show-
ing firmness being linseed. The financial crisis was a
great hindrsnee to affairs. A few sales of Odessa Ohirka
wheat were made at 45e, rye at 13 s., and barley at
20s. it per qr. 5,000 qrs. linseed were placed, at 46a. 6d.
to 495. Od. per qr.
Prices of wheat at Venice were much the same. A fine
rain had been very serviceable. Soft wheat bad been placed
at 42a. 3d. to 56e. 31., and 1,600 qrs. of the next mop for
October 48s. 3d. per qr.
Advice, from Marseilles and England bad discouraged
holders of wheat at Genoa. Some ordinary Obirka wheat
was placed 51s. per qr. ; but hard, for consumption, had
sohl well. The crops were backward, wanting both moisture
and heat ; and there were many complaints from Lombardy
and Piedmont of mis-plant.
There burl been frequent showers in Algeria, very favour-
able to the growing crops, which were considered to be safe.
Barley cutting would soon commence. Very little business
was doing, partly from the state of the money.market, and
partly from the smallness of stocks on hand. Hard wheat,
far consumption, sold at 26f. to 27f. per 100 kilos. (475. 6d.
to 495. 64. per qr ) Barley, 18f. to 19f. per 100 kilos.
Oats, 17f. to 18f. Flour, made of bard wheat, 36f. to 40f.
per 280111
Very little was doing in flour or wheat at Santander.
About 43a. per 280 lbs. was asked for good flour. The
granaries were fall, and prices of wheat almost nominaL

FEARrrL AecnoENT. —Yesterday about noon e
melancholy nacident occurred at Mr. Alderman flumphery's
wharf, London•bridge. Some men were engaged hoisting
bags of sugar, and whilst lifting them by means of a crane
and chein, the latter snapped sounder, and about ten of the
heavy log. fell to the ground, burying one of the labourers,
and fearfully crushing a boy about fourteen years of age,who
was otandiag at his side. The two were extricated as noon
as partible, placed in a cab, and removed to St. Thomas's
Hospital. The poor boy was found to have both his legs
broken, bin tongue bitten in two, and he was otherwise in.
torpidly injured to such an extent that but faint hope. can
be entertained of his recovery. The man, fortunately, was
not so seriously injured, and nothing fatal in his ease is ap-
prehended.
