There was more firmness in the demand for wheat in
most of the country markets held on Saturday, and the
quotations had an upward tendency. Barley was held at
full prices, whilst the value of oats and flour was well sup-
ported. All other articles were very dull.
Our advices from the continental ports state that a very
limited business is doing in grain on English account.
From New York we have received very high rates for both
wheat and flour.

This morning, at 8 o'clock, the criminal Emanuel Bar-
thelemy, the murderer of Mr. Moore and Mr. Collard,
underwent the extreme penalty of the law upon the public
scaffold, in the Old Bailey, for the murder of the ex-
constable Charles Collard, of which offence he was con-
victed before Lord Chief Justice Campbell at the last
sittings of the Central Criminal Court.
There was nothing in the preparations outside the
jail for the execution differing from the arrangements
upon previous occasions, save that more 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 for se►ne 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 snow-balls and otherwise, which was carried

Up to our market last week the receipts of English
grain were moderate. From abroad the supplies amounted
to 11,616 quarters:of wheat, 28,052 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
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 n•
means numerous, the demand for all kinds of wheat of
home produce was steady, at au advance in the prices ob-
tained on Monday last of from 2s to 4s per quarter. The
general quality of the supply was lay 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 quarter higher than on this day se'nnight.
Floating 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 notice in their value.
The demand for beans was rather dull, at last week's
eurreacy.

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 as 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.
The unhappy man has ever since his conviction main-
tained an hardened indifference, and betrayed a callous-
ness and blasphemious disposition almost unparalleled
in the annals of crime. Shortly after his conviction and
sentenr•, 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 ;theta do execution upon
himself, and in consequence of that threat he has been
watched night and day. He refused to attend

both gentlemen of tke Roman Catholic Church, have
been roost unremitting in their attention and strenuous
in their exhortations 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 is
his atheistical opinions. When spoken to upon the sub-

ject of religion, he said it was ne use for them to talk to
him upon that subject, or hold any argument, as God
could not break the rope ; and, alluding to one of these
interviews, after the priest had gone, he said to his
gaoler, " The priest tells me to think of ray soul ; I tell
him to think of my body first, and 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 wa■ a God, he said he hoped if there
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 him to death than ho 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 Oat murder of Mr. George Moore and Mr.
Charles Collard, bad an interview in the private rooms
of the Court of Queen's Nench with Lord Campbell, who
presided at the trial. The interview took place by the
appointmert of his lordship, who had the assistance of
Mr. Justice Erle and Mr. Justice Crompton.

The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts ex-
hibited a considerable falling off compared with Monday
last; but the supply came to hand in full average condi-
tion. Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was
not to say numerous, the beef trade ruled brisk, at an ad-
vance in the prices obtained on Monday last of 4d per 81bs,
and a clearance was readily effected. The best Scots were
worth 5s per Bibs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,500 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts of
England 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland 290
horned and polled Scots.
The numbers of sheep, though several thousand■ less
than those exhibited on this day se'nnight, were moderately
good, the time of year considered. All brec is met a dull
sale, but we have no actual change to notice in the quota-
tions. The primest old Downs were worth 4s 10d to 5s
per 81bs.

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 ite 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

After some conversation between the judges and Mr.

Herring,
Lord Campbell said that some female in France had
sent to him a letter, with a request that it might be
given to the prisoner. He thought ho could not do bet-
ter than place the letter in Mr. Herring's hands.
.Ifter the interview with the learned judges at 'West-
minster, Mr. Herring proceeded to Newgate, where he
had an interview with the prisoner. Prior to visiting
him, however, he saw Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Mugge-
ridge, Mr. Sheriff Crosley, 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•
bi rous 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 sheriffs, 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
came 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-
tiers. The priest baying 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 him that
there was no hope that there would be any change
in the sentence which bad 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 provided with
pens, ink, and paper by the sheriff, in order that he might
write to his father, and also to Mr. Herring, tlmnking
him for his exertions on his behalf.

There is but little alteration in the prisoner's general
appearance, except that his beard and moustache have
been allowed to grow. Up to the present time he 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-Sheriff Far-
rar that Barthelemy had made a fall statement to him,
but that he did not, of course, feel 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 Nowgate, in
preparation for the execution this morning. Although
the morning was cold, several persons 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 had ar-
rived. Mr. Sheriff Crossley asked the miserable
man whether he had made his peace with God
and acknowledged his existence. The prisoner
said-he had not. Mr. Sheriff Crossley said, lam sorry
for that ; and the convict instantly answered, so am I,
but it is my belief, and I cannot help it. Upon seeing
Calcraft he said I suppose you want my hands. lie
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 said to Caleraft, get it over as soon as ycu can.
Arriving upon the scaffold lie male a bow, aprarently
in acknowledgment of the loud cry which greeted him,
and then turned round and stood quite unmoved, whilst
the usual preliminaries were adjusted. He died apra-
rently without a struggle.
