MARKET NE WS.-( THIS DAY.}

CORN EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
Notwithstanding that the arrivals of English Wheat,
this week, coastwise and by land carriage, have born some—
what on the increase, the show of samples of bath red and
white here to-day was very limited, but quite equal to the
wants of the millers. selected qualities sold at Monday's
prices ; but low and middling parcels were heavy, and a total
clearance of them was not effected. The imports off
Foreign Wheat have amounted to 3,230 quarters; but the
quantity on offer was comparatively small. The large
quantity of French Flour at hand had a depressing influence
upon the trade, and late rates were with difficulty supported.
Floating cargoes were much neglected, yet we cannot call
them lower. With both English and Foreign Barley we
were tolerably well, but not to say largely, supplied.
Picked samples fit for malting were steady at late rates.
In grinding and distilling sorts very little was doing. No
change took place in the value of malt, for which article the
inquiry ruled inactive. The show of Oats was limited,
whilst the demand for most kinds was steady, at full prices.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were very dull.

To. day's market was very moderately supplied with
Peasts ; nevertheless, as the attendance of buyers was
limited, the demand for that description of stock ruled
heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations. The number
of Sheep was slightly on the increase compared with Friday
last. Ail breeds met a very slow inquiry, but we have no
change to notice in prices. The extreme figure for the best
old Downs, in the wool, was 4s 2d per Blbs. In Lambs very
little business was transacted, yet Down qualities were
worth 5i 8d per 81bs. Calves moved off slowly, at barely
late rates. In Pigs next to nothing was doing. Mulch
Cows were quoted at from 141 to 18/ each, including their
small Calf.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
IN RE CUMMING—IN LUNACY.
Sir W. P. WOOD, this morning, presented s petition on
behalf of the daughters, coheiresses of Mrs. Cumming, pray-
ing for the confirmation of the Master's report, of the 2d of
February, 1852, appointing Louisa Baker the committee of
the person of Mrs. Cumming, and the appointment of Mr.
James Sharp as committee of the estate.
Lord Justice K. Basuca—Where is it proposed that she
should live.
Sir W. P. Woon—lt was proposed that she should re'
main where she is at present, under the care of Miss Baker,
who was an old friend of Mrs. Clamming and of her family.
The petitioner also asked for a grant of 2001., the amount to
be paid to Miss Baker for the maintenance of Mrs. Cumming;
that Mr. Sharp should be allowed to pass the same in
his accounts. It was also asked that the costs should be
taxed.
Lord Justice KNIGHT BRUCE—WhiIe a traverse is pod'

Sir W. P. Woor opposed the petition on behalf of his
client, the only thing which they desired was that Mrs.
Cumming
should be in the care of some perfectly impartial
person, which they did not consider Mrs. Moor to be.
The COURT was of opinion that the interest and comfort of
the alleged lunatic would be best consulted by not at all, or
at least very slightly,
. interfering with the present manage-
ment. They would, therefore, make an interim order ar
pointing committees of her person and estate provisionally,
on the understanding that no change would be made in the
arrangements which were now in force with regard to ber
personal superintendence and control. With regard to
access it would remain also as at present, subject to any fu-
ture direction which might be made as circumstances might
arise, on application to either of their Lordships out of court.
