in Paris. Mr. Strahan told him that Mr. Bates was in
Paris making arrangements, as the bank had lately sus-
tained serious losses.

Mr. Ballantine said he did not intend to make any ob-
servations on the day's proceedings. Whatever was the
situation of numerous parties owing to the unfor-
tunate circumstances of the bankrupts, he felt
bound to state that Mr. Strahan entered the bank
with 180,0001., all of which had been lost. With
respect to Sir John Paul he was not authorised
to make any observations. He had been in cus-
tody so short a period that sufficient time had not yet
elapsed since the arrest to arrange the answer to the charge
as far as be was concerned. His friend Mr. Parry ap-
peared for Mr. Bates ; and although there was a techni-
cal difference as far as he was concerned, yet they were
all actuated by one common object—the benefit of the
sufferers by the bankruptcy. He could not defend the
gentlemen from the censure that was now freely passed
upon them. It was a circumstance they deserved—it was
an ordeal they were prepared to go through. It was the
only way in which repentance could be obtained for the
misery and suffering created amongst those who had
placed the most implicit reliance in their integrity.
Mr. Parry made a few observations on behalf of Mr.
Bates, who, he said, was in a position to show be was
engaged in the business of the bank in Paris at the time
these securities were removed.

Mr. Jardine then ordered the prisoners to be re-
manded unt►l next Wednesday.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Very moderate supplies of English wheat have come to
hand since Monday, and the show of samples here to-day
was small. For most kinds, we had only a moderate in-
quiry nevertheless prices were supported.
We have had a good import of wheat from abroad-
-20,450 quarters. Selected quantities were held firmly at
full quotations. Inferior parcels were a dull inquiry.
Barley—the show of which was moderate, sold steadily
atfull prices. Malt was dull but not cheaper.
The supply of foreign oats was considerably on the in-
crease, yet the demand for most kinds was steady at full
prices. .

Beans and peas realised former terms. Flour was
tolerably firm. The imports are 1,550 sacks, chiefly from
Spain.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts in to-day's market was bit mode-
rate, yet the demand for all breeds ruled heavy, at a de-
cline in the prices of Monday of 4d per 81bs. Sheep, the
show of which was by no means extensive, were very dull
in sale, and 4d per 81bs lower than on Monday. The top
figure was 5s per 81bs. We had a very dull sale for lambs,
at 4d per Sibs less money. Calves moved off heavily, at a
fall of from 2d to 4d per Sibs. In pigs scarcely any busi-
ness was doing.

Mulch cows sold slowly at from 141. to 19/. oacb, inclad.
ing their small calf.
