CORN-EXCHANGE, MONDAY, Aran 17.

The supply of Wheat to this day's market was rather short, and them
being a tolerably brisk demand, an advance of I s. per quarter was obtained
on last week's prices. The arrivals of Barley ,puticulariv from Norfolk
and Suffolk; were very large, and far exceeded the demand, and even tine
•samples were dull sale, at a reduction of from Is. to 2s. per cowl*.
There was also, very little doing in the inferior sorts, as the di.tillers pv
chase very sparingly, and prices are quite nominal ; in foot, stud with le
wretched dull state of the Malt trade, and the advanced state of the
reason. Barley is at this time particularly any thing but that of .uperlor
quality`, a complete drug, and to effect sales great sacrifices in price mole
be ouhmitted to. Oats fully maintain last week's currency. Stalls are
full 2s. per quarter dearer. In other articles nu alteration.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.— Tuesday the I I th inst., between
' two and three in the afternoon, a poor woman named Aeries Coati:,
of Brisham, near Plymatock, haying an infant in her arils. fill he
way home, about half a mile from the Fly Bridge Inn, and si!hia
a much shorter distance of several houses, was attacked by a mail
dressed as a sailor. Ile demanded her money. which the woman
refusing to give, the miscreant caught her by the throat, and tom•
menced searching her person ; she resisted him with all her might.
but was prevented calling out, being deprived of the power of
speaking by the desperate hold of the villain on her throat; she
struggled with him for several minutes. during which her clothes
were nearly torn off; at last she dropped her child on the ground,
but still continued to protect herself. The wretch finding that be
was thus opposed, swore that, if she did not give or her money, lua
would stamp out the brains of the infant, following up this by
letting go her throat, and giving her a violent kick on the back I
the poor creature fearful for the lite of her child, being greatly in,
seeing noone to assist her, permitted the fellow:to tear her!
jured by the kick, exhausted from the length of the stniggle, and
pocketoff,
which contained 3s. ; with this he decamped. and she was so weak
that she could not follow him, 'nor for a considerable time could
she move from the spot to give alarm ; when she did, no traced
the miscreant could be found ; site says he was a middle.sisol
man, and must, she is assured, have several marks in his face from
her nails, as she repeatedly scratched hint.
