CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Wightman.)
THE MURDER IN FOLEY-PLACE.

Mr. Bodkin said he was instructed to make an appli-
cation to the court in the case of a person named Luigi
Baranelli, who was charged with murder, and also with
shooting with intent to murder, to postpone the trial to
the next session. The prisoner had been committed to
the gaol of Newgate by the coroner for Middlesex ; but
the Government thought it a proper case for them to
prosecute, and they had instructed the Treasury solicitor
to take the necessary steps for that purpose. The pri-
soner had been taken before a magistrate, and he was
at present remanded beyond the time the present session
was likely to last ; and as one of the witnesses, whose
evidence was most material, was very ill and unable to
attend and give evidence, he, upon this ground, re-
quested that the trial might be postponed.
Mr. Justice Wightman at once granted the applica-
tion.

MARKET NEWS---(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on offer in
to-day's market. There was more disposition shown on
the part of the millers to purchase most kinds, and Mon-
day's prices wore well supported.
Nearly all descriptions of foreign wheat moved off slowly,
yet we have no change to notice in their value.
The barley trade was very dull, at late rates ; whilst
malt was much neglected.
The oat trade was tolerably firm ; but beans and peas
were very dull.
The nominal top price of flour is now 70s. per 280 lb.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-TUESDAY.

In our last we announced that the Liverpool Spring
Meeting had been postponed till Friday, the 2d proximo.
Since then, however, it has been further postponed till
Wednesday, the 7th. There are parties who find fault
with the latter, and say the laws of betting have had
something to do with the arrangement ; at all events,
the frost cannot be said to have been the cause of the
latter alteration. Since the announcement no betting
has taken place on the event here. There has been no
change since our last, except a further improvement in
St. Hubert for the 2,000, and a greater decline in Lord
of the Isles. The following figures show the latest
betting :
