this day.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets heldo; Saturday were moderately
supplied with wheat, in which only a limited business was
transacted on lower terms. There was very little doing in
barley, and the quotations had a downward tendency. All
other articles met a dull inquiry.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool-
sack at 12 o'clock.

ROUSE OF LORDS' COURT OF APPEAL.

99 - 101
102 - 104

Lord ST. LEONARDS moved, for a return of the
number of appeals heard and disposed of by their lord-
ships during the past five years, distinguishing
those from England, Ireland, and Scotland, with
the decisions in each case. His lordship pro-
ceeded to state that he was induced to do so in
consequence of remarks that bad been made by the
Solicitor-General, tending to lower this Court of Appeal
in the estimation of the public, from justice not being
properly administered, and defended at some length the
jurisdiction of this house and those who took part in it.
He had always paid the utmost attention to appeals
brought before their lordship, and felt satisfied other
noble lord. had dune the same.
Lord CAMPBELL said he had seen with indignation
the attack said to have been made on their lordships by
her Majesty's Solicitor-General, which had a direct ten•
dency of bringing the jurisdiction of that house into dis-
repute. He considei ed the attack, which was an attack
more especially on the Lord Chancellor, entirely un-
founded—(hear, hear)—and if the words reported to
have been said by the learned Solicitor-General
were true, the learned gentleman supposed justice was
not satisfactorily dealt out by their lordships. Nothing
could be more unfounded than such an assertion, and he
gave it a positive denial from the experience he had had
in that house. He (Lord Campbell) gave as much at-
tention to the cases brought before their lordships'
house as lie did the cases brought before him when sitting
in the Court of Queem'a Bench. (Hear, hear.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR said he concurred in
all that had been said by their lordships on the necessity
of their retaining the judicial functions of that house
unimpaired. The judicial business of their lordships'
house—of which he spoke with diffidence, from being at
its head—but putting that aside, it had been very satis-
factory and well conducted. (Hear.) The attack was
divided into two heads, one arising from the nature of
the tribunal, and the other the manner in which their
lordships performed their functions. With regard to
the latter charge, as he understood it, the Solicitor-Ge-
neral had stated in another place that the proceed-
ings were conducted by persons performing the
function of judges who some times heard but part
of a case, yet decided it as if they had heard
the whole ; which, he summed up by stating, was
more discreditable than any thing done by the
judges of the interior courts of justice. He (the Lord
Chancellor) denied that noble lords took part in judicial
decisions without having first heard the causes. The
charge, if well-founded, was one of the utmost impor-
tance, and deserved immediate remedy ; but, happily, it
did not require it from being unfounded. (Hear,
hear.) It was essentially important this tribunal
should be kept in its present form, for practically
their were no deficiencies in it. As to the constitution
of the tribunal, he could say that politics had no influ-
ence with the noble lords in their decision.
The motion was agreed to.
The Consolidated Fund Appropriation bill, the Ex-
chequer Bills (7,000,0001.) bid, and the Militia Pay bill
were read a third time and passed.
The Commons' amendments to the School Grants! (se-
curity for application) bill were considered and agreed to.

Our advices from Now York state that the supplies of
grain and flour were on the increase, and that the demand
for them ruled heavy. In' tho continental markets very
little is doing on English account.

135 -

The arrivals of English grain up to or market, last week.
w•re very moderate. The imports of foreign were 10,790
quarters ofwheat, 6,804 barley, 29,869 oats, 2,020 beans,
271 peas, 4 tares, 6,792 linseed, 3,035 rapeseed, 9 mustard
seed, 1,570 sundry seeds, and 3,568 sack of flour.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was but
moderate ; nevertheless, the show of samples of both red
and white was tolerably good, the time of year considered.
Owing to the prevailing fine weather for harvest work, and
the thin attendance of both town and country millers, the
demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat was excessively
heavy, at a fall in the prices obtained on Monday last of
2s per quarter. In some instances damp qualities were
3s per quarter cheaper than on that day.
With foreign wheat—fresh as well as ex-granary—we
were well supplied. Dealers generally purchased with ex-
treme caution, and the trade was heavy in the extreme,
at prices fully 2s per quarter beneath those paid on this
day sennight.

Floating cargoes off the coast, the arrivals of which are
good, were much neglected, and lower to purchase.
The show of barley was good. All kinds moved off
slowly, and the quotations were the turn in favour of
buyers.

Malt sold slowly, but no change took place in prices.

Good sound oats moved off steadily, at full quotations.
Low and damp samples were dill, and rather easier to pur-
chase.

Beans changed hands slowly, at late rates.
A. few samples of new grey and white peas were in the
market. The former realised 40s to 42e, the latter 48s to
50s per quarter.

The flour trade was very dull, and prices had a down-
ward tendency.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
Lord MON rEAGLE presented a petition from
Sir Culling Eardley on the subject of a new regulation
made at Oxford, with respect to the admission to the
degree of master of arts, whereby the petititioner bad
been prevented from being admitted to the degree.
The LORD CHANCELLOR regretted that such a
regulation should have been made, as that complained
of by the petitioner, and which, if carried out stringeutly,
would have the effect of makinglthe last enactment, with
reference to this university, a dead letter and inoperative
The Earl of HARROWBY expressed himself op-
posed to the regu:ations complained of, which w,:.re
adopted by the heads of the University in too narrow a
point.
The subject then dropped.

The house adjourned at 20 minutes past 1 o'clock, till
to-morrow at half-past 1.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOME CIRCUIT.—CROYDON.
(Before Mr. Justice Wightins.n.),
BOYLE ♦. CARDINAL WISEMAN.

This important case, the question in which has been
tried twice—once at Kingston, and again at Guildford— '
was specially appointed for trial to-day, and the greatest
interest and excitement prevailed among the ladies,
clergy, and gentry of the neighbourhood to be present.
The learned judge did not take his seat on the bench
till nearly eleven o'clock, at which hour the court was
crowded to excess by well•dressed ladies, and almost all
the clergy of the neighbourhood. On the learned judge
taking his seat, disappointment was depicted on the
countenance of all present on the next case being called
on, an arrangement having been made between the
counsel and solicitors, and plaintiff and defen-
-1 tin t, which rendered it unnecessary to bring the
matter before the court. The arrangement entered into
did not transpire, but it is generally understood to be
satisfactory to all parties ; and that it is much to be
regretted that an amicable course had not been adopted
an earlier stage of the proceedings.

(Before Mr. Justice Creswell.)
His Lordship dd not take his seat in court till half-
past eleveu o'clock. He was occupied the whole day
with Common Jury cases of no interest whatever except
to the parties concerned.
