There was n4ori firmness in tlt dP;mand for wheat in
mon "of the country markets on Saturday, and the
quotations had an upward t'.;odency. Barley was held at
full prices, whilst
rvs :ue of oats and flour was well sup-
Per'ced. AU other 'articles wcr3 very dull.
Our advice° irore4he continental ports state that a very
limited business is doing in grain on English account.
From New York we kayo recciired very high rates for both
wheat and flour.

This morning, at 8 o'clock, the erlignal Emanuel Bar-
thelemy, the murderer of Mr. Moore Id Mr. Collard,
underwent the extreme penalty of theilw upon the pubic
scaffold, in tlhe Old Bailey,' for the munier of the ex-
constable Charles Collard, of which offence he was con-
victed before Lord Chief Justice Campbell at the last
sittings-401e Central Criminal Court. . r
Thefe was nothing in the preparations outside the
jail for the execution differing froinc4he arrangements
upon previous occasions, save th;!t"pore than ordinary
precaution was taken in the erection of the barricades
with strength to bear an extra amount of pressure, as a
very large crowd was expected, and, as it subsequently
turned out, this was highly necessary, for, notwithstand-
ing the extremely inclement state of the weather, and
that it continued snowing fast far some time before and
after the execution, the whole area of the Old Bailey,
and from every point where a glimpse could be caught
of the scaffold, the crowd was extremely dense. With
the evception of some well-dressed foreigners, the mob
was, in general, one of the very lowest ever con-
gregated ; and a very great many women who were
there took a prominent part in the obscene jesting and
larking with scow-balls and otherwise, which was carried
on previous to the miserable man making his appearance
upon the scaffold, and during the hour that his lifeless
corpse hung before them. So much for the moral ex-
ample of an execution. A more than usual number of
the police were present, and it having; been rumoured
that an attempt would be made by some of the convict's
associates to shoot him whilst upon the scaffold, the
foreigners alluded to, who took up a prominent position
near the gibbet were placed under the more immediate
surveillance of a large body of constables, who kept
them as far back as possible, and took up their position
between them and the convict when he came out.

Up to our market last weak the receipts of English
grain were moderate. From abroad the supplies amounted
to 11,616 quarters:of wheat, 23,052 oats, 81 beans,!l,3os
peas, 1,193 tares, 3,286 linseed, 56 mustard seed, 130
sundry seeds, 2,246 sacks and 1,071 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of English
ern wheat, coastwise, and by land carriage, were on a very
moderate scale. Consequently, as a good clearance of the
stands was effected on Friday last, the show of samples
was small. Although the attendance of buyers was by no
means numerous, the demand for all kinds of wheat of
home produce was steady, at an advance in the prices ob-
tained on Monday last of from 2s to 4s per quarter. The
general quality of the supply was by no means first-rate.
The show of wheat was moderate. Nearly all kinds
sold somewhat fully, and the currencies ruled from 2s to
3s per gum '6er higher than on this day se'nnight.
gOting cargoes of grain wore held on higher terms.
We were well supplied with English barley, the sale for
which ruled steady, at is per qr. more money.
There was very little inquiry for malt, on former terms.
Oats—the supply of which was large—sold ;slowly, but
we have no change to potice in their value.
The demand for beans Ninii rather dull, at last week's
el
currency.

The unhappy man has ever since his conviction main-
tained an hardened indifference, and betrayed a callous.
nee' and blasphemous disposition almost unparalleled
in the annals of crime. Shortly after his conviction and
sentence, upon being informed by the sheriffs and other
officials that there was not the least hopes of his sen-
tence being mitigated, and told that he had but sixteen
days to live, he said he was glad, of that ; he thought
he should have been hanged next day; and that
if they did not de it, he should do execution upon
himself, and in consequence of that threat he has been
watched night and day. He refused to attend
divine service, and although the Rev. Mr. Davis, the
ordinary of the jail, and the Rev. Dr. Crowe, officiating
priest of St. Mary's, Chelsea, and thh Abbe Roux,
both gentlemen of the Roman Catholic' Church, have
been most unremitting in their attention and strcnnons
in their extittations to him to prepare his mind for the
awful change which was about taking place, it has been
fruitless, and the convict seemed to take a great pride in
his atheistical eiiinions. When spoken to upon the sub-
ject of religion, he said it was no use for them to talk to
him upon that subject, or hold any argument, as God
could not break the rope ; and, alluding toone of these
interviews, after the priest had gone, he said to his
gaoler, " The priest tells me tb think of my soul ; I tell
him to think of my body first, anti then think of my
soul." When asked to pray to God for forgiveness, he
said it was not any good to pray to God for forgiveness,
but to man to forgive him ; and, if they did so, they
would open those doors and let him out. When asked
if he thought there was a God, he said he hoped if Viere
was that he could speak good French, as it would be no
good to him (prisoner) if it was otherwise. Alluding to
his trial, he said that Lord Campbell had committed a
greater crime in sentencing Lim to death than he had in
killing Collard. He also said that Ledru Rollin was in
the gallery during his trial, and added, " Was not he glad
to hear me convicted and sentenced to death." In all
these communications, which took place during his in-
carceration in the condemned cell, he spoke in passably
good English, and with the utmost coolness.
On Saturday Mr. Herring, the solicitor, who had con-
ducted the defence of Barthelemy, now under sentence
of death for the murder of Mr. Ganrge Moore and Mr.
Charles Collard, Lad an interview in the En4vate rooms
of the Court of Queen's Bench with Lord Campbell, at,.
presided at the trial. The interview took place by the
appointment of his lordship, who had the assistance of
Mr. Justice Erle and Mr. Justice Crompton.
Mr. Herring represented that his lordship, in charging
the jury, had remarked upon a deadly weapon with
which it was supposed that Barthelemy had assaulted
Mr. Moore while they were in the back parlour toge-
ther, and before the quarrel between them was heard
by the servant who gave evidence on the trial, and
inquired whether, if he could satisfy his lordship that
that weapon was not taken to the house by Bar-
thelemy, but was an article used by Mr. Moore in
his business, he would hold out any hope that the
execution of the murderer, ordered for to-day, would
be stayed.

COURT CIRCULAR.

WINDSOR, Jew. 20.

The dinner party yesterday included her Royal High
ness the Duchess of Kent, the Saxon Minister (Count
Vitzthum), the Earl of Aberdeen, the Eariof Clarendon,
Lady Fanny Howard, the Hon. Mary Seymour, Sir
James and Lady Graham, Sir George Couper, and
Major-General Wetherall.
Her Majesty's private band was in attendance after

dinner.
Ti.. Quoon, with the rrintess _Royal, walked in the
Castle gardens and slopes this morning.
The Earl of Clarendon introduced the Saxon Minister,
(Count Vitzthum) to an audience of her Majesty last
evening.
Lord Rivers and Mr.Ormsby Gore were in attendance
as Lord and Groom in Waiting.
. __

The Saxon Minister, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Earl
of Clarendon, Sir James and Lady Graham, and Major-
General Wetherall took their departure this forenoon for
London.

Lord Campbell said that, under all the circumstances,
he felt bound to say that he must decline to interfere.
He did not see sufficient reason why the law should not
take its course.

JAN. 21.

The dinner party yesterday included the Duchess of
rent, Lady Fanny Howard, Baroness de Speth, and
Sir James Clark.

After some conversation between the judges and Mr.
Herring,

Her Majesty's private band attended after dinner.
The Queen and Prince, the Prince of Wales, the
Princess Royal, and Prince Alfred, the Ladies and
Gentlemen of the Court, and the domestic household,
attended divine service this morning in the priiate
chapel of the Castle. The Hon. and Very Rev. the
Dean of Windsor )fficiated.

Lord Campbell said that some female in France had
seat to him a letter, with a request that it might be
given to the prisoner. He thought he could not do bet-
ter than place the letter in Mr. Herring's hands.
After the interview with the learned judges at West-
minster, Mr. Herring proceeded to Newgato, where he
had an interview with the prisoner. Prior to visiting
him, however, he saw Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Mugge-
ridge, Mr. Sheriff Croaky, and Mr. Under Sheriff Far-
rar, to whom he communicated the fact that he had re-
ceived from Lord Campbell a letter, which be was de-
tirous of handing to the prisoner. Sheriff Muggeridge
and Sheriff Crosley were willing that Mr. Herring should
' give it to Barthelemy at once, but Mr. Under Sheriff
Farrar thought its contents should previously be known
to the sheriff's, being probably under the impression that
it might contain some clue to the woman who is repre-
sented to have been with Barthelemy at the time of the
murder, and who immediately afterwards made her
escape. While.this discussion was going on, the Catho-
lic priest who has been in attendance on Barthelemy
carne in, and the letter was read by him. It was writ-
ten in good French, and contained an earnest entreaty
that the prisoner should devote the short portion of time
that was left to him in this world in making his peace
with God, but made no reference to other matters.-
It was signed "Jeannette," and was posted at Poic—
tiem The priest having advised that the letter should
be at once given to the prisoner, as it might lead
him into a pious frame of mind, which he does not
appear to have much cultivated, Mr. Under Sheriff
Farrar accompanied Mr._ Herring to the prisoner's
cell. Mr. Herring handed him the letter, which
Barthelemy read apparently without the slightest
emotion. Mr. Herrring then informed bim that
there was no hope that there would be any change
in the sentence which had been passed upon him, and
asked him whether, under the circumstances, he wished
to make any communication to him ? Barthelemy said
that all he wished was that he might be provi,led with
pens; ink, and paper by the sheriff, in order that he might
write to his father, and also t•.) Mr. Herring, thanking
him for his exertions on his behalf.

Viscount Canning, Postmaster-General, has arrived
in town for the season.

The pay of the third•class constables of the Metropo-
litan police is ordered to be raised 2s. a-week ; and Lord
Palmerston hal given directions for a new arrangement
of night duty, by which the labours of the force will not
be so severe as now.

Baron Forth-Rouen, the French Minister at Athens,
was on the 10th preparing to quit Greece. He had an
audience of their Hellenic Majesties to take leave on the
9th, and on the 10th was invited to dine at the palace.
M. Do!fus, the first secretary of legation, will act as
chargé d'affaires until his successor arrives.
The funeral of the Queen Dowager of Sardinia was
celebrated on the 16th, at Turin, with great pomp. The
streets were crowded, and the windows hung with
mournirg drapery. The court has gone into mourning
for 180 days.

Thera is but little alteration in the prisoner's general
appearance, except that his beard and mowtachn have
been allowed to grow. Up to the present time be has
made no confession to the chaplain of the gaol or the
Sheriffs. At the interview which took place yesterday

morning, Mr. Herring informed Mr. Under-Slieriff
Far-
rar that Barthelemy had made a fell statement to him,
but that he did not, of course, fe6l himself justified in
divulging it. Thus much, however, he might say, that
until within a quarter of an hour of the time he visited
Mr. Moore's house he had no intention of going there.
The statement the prisoner has made to Mr. Herring is
represented to be most full and open.
On Saturday morning several workmen were employed
in erecting the various barriers in front of Newgate, in
preparation fir the execution this morning. Although
the morning was cold, severapersons were assembled to
witness the preparations.
Throughout the whole'of yesterday he maintained the
same careless indifference,
,and retired to rest at ten
o'clock, and slept soundly until seven o'clock, when he
arose and dressed himself with the most perfect calmness,
putting on his loose cloak shortly afterwards. The
sheriff, under•sheriff, the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Catholic
clergyman, and others, entered the cell and informed
him that the moment of his execution bad ar-
rived. Mr. Sheriff Crossley asked the miserable
man whether he bad made his peace with God
and acknowledged his existence. The prisoner
said lie had not. Mr. Sheriff Crossley said, lam sorry
for that; and they convict instantly answered, so am I,
but it is my belief, and I cannot help it. Upon seeing
'Calera he said I suppose you want my•hands. He
then very coolly submitted himself to be pinioned, and
having taken leave of those around him, he walked with
a firm step to the scaffold; previously to getting there,
he maid to Calera% get it over as soon as you can.
Arriving- upon the scaffold he made a bow, apparently
in acknowledgment of the loud cry which greeted him,
and then turned round and stood quite unmoved, whilst
the usual prelimmari ;8 were adjusted. He died appa-
rently without a s'rug;le.

LAW' INTELLIGENCE-(TIUS DAY).

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Befcra Lord Campbell and Justices Coleridge, Wigl2t-

man, and Crompton.)
The attention of the Court was this morning occupied
in the hearing of motions.

RE AN ATTORNEY.

Mr. Honeyinan, on behalf of a person name. Davis,
moved for a rule to show cause why an attorney (whose
name did not transpire) should, not be struck off the
rolls. The learned counsel stated as a ground of his ap-
plication that the attorney had refused to deliver up
certain monies which he had recovered at the suit of
Davis, although an order had been made by Mr. Baron
Platt, that ho should hand them over within a specified
time.

Lord Chmpbell enquired why, as the shorter and
nioro advisable course, an order of attachment had not
been applied for.

Mr. lioneyman replied that that course might cer-
tainly have been adopted, but that his client was afraid
that the attorney would take the benefit of Insolvent
Act and so escape.

Lord Campbell, however, held that the usual and
proper course ought to be adopted, namely, that an
order of attachment should issue.

LETTER FROM THE CRIMEA.

Extract from the letter of an officer in tb.e army at the
Crimea :

As I said in my last, " the sooner the assault is made
the better," for we are nearly worn out with incessant
and severe fatigue, and should be thankful to make it
to-morrow, if Lord Raglan would let us, as a means of
escaping from our present hardships and privations,
which threaten, ere long, to destroy the whole army.
Lord Raglan, is said, by those who are admitted to his
intimacy, to be averse to the assault, and. time will show
whether his extreme caution and humanity is justified sr
not. Of course, if Sebastopol can be taken without a
storm, he is quite right, and it will spare a, vast effusion of
blood, but every hour confirms the opinion which I have
held all along, that it will never be taken except in the
old fashion—at the point of the bayonet..
The Russians have 50 guns now moimted round the
White Tower alone, to challenge on eight or nine on the
right attack of Gordon's Battery, and vire daily adding
to their defensive preparations. However, a number of
10 and 13-inch mortars which we acre getting up
are expected to do great things, and I hope will justify
their expectations, though I have nay doubts on the sub-
ject, after the failure of our last attack, which never did
mere damage in the day than the Russians could repair
at night. The French have pushed theix lines so close
to the walls of the town that, as they say themselves,
they can almost see the white of each other's eyes !
Every street and house is fortified, so that it will be
hard work even after we get into the town, unless we
make it so hot for them. that they will be obliged to
capitulate. The Zouaves and Chasseurs de Vincennes
have been most useful in picking off the gunners at the
guns with their Minits rifles, which have a longer range
than any weapon yet invented. The way the rascals
do it is to creep out early in the morning, with a spade
and pickaxe, and erect little barricades in front of the
embrasures, behind which they ensconce themselves quite
securely, and direct their unerring aim upon the forts,
just as they did at Bomarsund. Our poor fellows are
nearly all in lags, and would rather astonish the British
public, who saw them depart looking so smart and
full of health and spirits, could they see them now.
Neither are the officers much better off for clothes, who
may be seen walking about in things which they would
ho ashamed to give their servants in England ; however,
we are promised a supply soon, which will be a real
God-send when they do arrive. As a sample of camp
prices, I may mention the case of an officer who bought
a saddle for 5/. 103., and then purchased a horse for a
shilling to carry it hi-me. All our baggage horses that
we had in Bulgaria are still at Vane, where they are
welcome to rewain, as we have no use for them here,
not kndwing how we should feed them. The cavalry
are nearly all dismounted, and had to bring up stores
the other day for the commissariat on their hcrses,
which are just like Pharaoh's lean kine," that Joseph had
in a vision." We are still living under tents—fancy that
in the month of December !—but we expect a supply of
wooden houses from England very soon, which will be a
great comfort, if the generals and staff do not convert
them into stalls for their horses. Our Brigadier-General
Buller has gone to the 1.2 d division, pro. tem., to relieve
General Pennefather. Two of the Russian ships con-
trived to creep out the other night and threw some shells
into the French line near the Quarantine Fort, but
were qtfickly chased back by the Furious, to which the
Admiral has shifted his flag from the Britannia, w, bi"
with +l, °thee. beet, to rue liospuorus
for the winter.

The sailors have a camp next to ours, which is full of
high-sounding and amusing names, such as the "Tiger's
Revenge," "Royal Sinop Militia," and " Albion's
Pets," inscribed in huge letters about three feet long
on the sides of their tents. I thought when they first
came up that they would have burst their tents asunder,
so tight were the cords drawn that it made one's head
positively ache to look at then). However, they soon
learnt to pitch them properly, and contrived to keep
theirs standing during the great storm, when all ours
were blown down. For the first week or two after they
landed, Jack was the whole life and soul of the camp,
and rendered morn service in dragging up great guns
from Ealaklava than a dozen artillery horses put together.
The only thing against him is that he is too strong, and
makes no allowance for other people not being as strong
and active as himself. For instance, he will think
nothing of heaping up ammunition in the waggons
until the wretched horses faint and die under the
weight, not being able to see the sense of the "ship
' starting until the hold is full." For all that, however,
he is a very good fellow, and is ever ready to lend a
helping band when he can be of any use.
One-half of Frenchman's-hill Battery is armed with
the guns of the Diamond, and nothing would please
Jack but to ca!l it the Koh-i-noor Battery, which he had
inscribed in white letters on a black board, and stuck
on the top of the parapet, until a round shot came one
day and carried it bodily away. Disease still runs its
fearful course, and thins down our ranks sadly. Well
might the Czar say, cholera and the cold were his most
faithful allies !
