MAIsK-LANE.

The country markets, held on Saturday, were firm for
wheat, and prices advanced is per quarter. Limited sup-
plies of spring corn were on sale, and the quotations had an
upward tendency. Flour somewhat improved in value.
At New York good and prime wheat continue in demand
for export to Great Britain, at further enhanced rates. On
the Continent the trade generally is firm.
Limited supplies of home-grown produce were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
amounted to 17,649 quarters of wheat, 5.459 barley, 31,825
oats, 1,191 peas, 2,491 linseed, 4,981 oilseeds, 2,300 maize,
50 backs, and 2,631 barrels of fi ,ur.

Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of home
grown produce, both from Essex and Kent, were very
moderate. 0 wing to the dissolution of the Conference on
Saturday, factors demanded 2s per quarter money for
all qualities. Millers, however, appeared disposed
to abstain from making purchases till after the
course intended to be pursued by Government is made pub-
lic; consequently, very little business has been transacted,
and at the close of business only a small portion of the sup-
ply had been disposed of, at an advance in prices, compared
with Monday last, of is per quarter.
The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was very mo-
derate. Both continental and American qualities were held
at considerably enhanced rates. Millers, however, operated to
a limited extent in all descriptions, and prices ruled in
several instances nominal. The small amount of business
done was at an advance of is per quarter from Monday
last.

Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm. Wheat and oats
were decidedly higher in price, the former to the extent of
Is per quarter.

The flour trade was firm, an 3 both English and foreign
qualities commanded rattier more money.
The supply of English barley on sale was small—of
foreign moderate. On the whole the trade was firm, at
fully late rates.

Beans—the supply of which on sale was small—changed
hands at extreme rates.

Peas fully supported last Monday's quotations, with a
moderate demand. The market w,a scantily supplied.
The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Beth for
home-grown and foreign descriptions there was a steady
demand, and prices were 6,1, in some instances is, per
quarter higher than on Monday last.
Malt was in fair avec age request,at late rates.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This ray,

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

SYSTEMATIC ROBBEItIts AT LICENSED VIC MALLERS.
—George Lloyd, a well dressed man, wearing a black
moustache and beard, and who gave the address 23,
Northumberland-street, Marylebone, and described himself
as a painter and plumber, Was charged before Mr. Knox
with stealing a half•pint measure, the property of Mr. Geo.
Osborne, of the Adam's Arms, Hampstead-street, Fitzroy-
square, other measures being found in his possession.
Burgess, 83 E, said that on Friday evening he wont to
the prisoner's lodgings in Buckingham-street, Marylebone,
and there saw a pint measure, a half-pint, and several
pieces of metal, the remains of pewter pots. On the floor
there was a large iron ladle, which had evidently been
thrown on the floor off the fire, metal being scattered all
about the room, the carpet where it had been thrown, but
on which some water had been poured, was also smoking,
being partly on fire. The prisoner had made his escape,
and, altLough he had tried his utmost, he was not success-
ful in finding him until yesterday (Sunday), when he went
to No. 23, Northumberland-street, Marylebone, and
having waited a short time, the prisoner walked
in. He told the prisoner that he should charge
him with stealing a pint pot from the Adam's
Arms. The prisoner said " Wait a bit," and then took two
pewter measures from his pocket, at the same time stating
they were pots he had hi-J1 beer in. He then took the pri-
soner into custody when he offered him (the constable) Gs.,
telling hint that he would also get £2 from his brother,
which he would also give him to let him go. At the room
the prisoner was also occupying in Northumberland-street,
he found a frying-pan with the remains of pewter in it. On
the way to the station the prisoner said the ladle was his
property, and on his telling him that he had been to his
other lodging in Buckingham-street, he said that he had
left that place because it was getting too warm for him.
He found on the prisoner some silver money and some
pieces of pewter,

Mr George Osborn, of the Adam's Arms, Hampstead-
street, Fitzroy-square, identified one of the measures as his
property, and said the prisoner was in his house en Friday
afternoon.

Mr Thomas Harris, of the "Warwick Arms, Lisson-
grove, also identified a measure. The prisoner was at his
house yesterday, and in the evening the measure was
missed.

John Whiting, barman to Mr Woods, of the Pitt's Head,
corner of Paddington-street, identified a measure as the
property of his employer. The prisoner was at the house
yesterday at one o'clock, and in the evening the measure
was missed.

Mr F. Davey, of the Lord Nelson, Upper Charlotte-
street, said the prisoner called at his house and took away
his metal water jug, went to the Adam's Arms, and there
dropped it sad on picking it up said he had it to repair, and
that he should be happy to repair any of the landlord's.
Mr Knox having cautioned tie prisoner, he said that
all the measures he had from the different houses with
beer in them, and that as for melting lead, he did that on
his premises as a plumber.

Mr Knox committed him for trial on all the charges.

THAMES.

A SILLY CAMIN.—Mary Miller, a Ratcliff-highway
girl, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with steal-
ing a silver watch, valued at £6, and 30s in silver, from the
person of John Perfect, the master of the sloop Ebenezer,
lying in the London dock. She was also charged with
biting Alfred Herbert, No 210 H.
It appeared that Captain Perfect was out on a cruise a
few days since, and met with the prisoner, who took him in
tow, and he accompanied her to a public-house in Ratcliff-
highway, where he treated her with lots of grog. A couple
of darkeys, as Ethiopian serenaders (white men with
their faces blackened) indulged the couple with music,
and Captain Perfect, who was quits delighted with
their strains, took from his pocket 13 or 14 half-crowns
and gave them some money. He fell asleep directly after-
wards, and when he was aroused by the landlotd, his sweet-
heart was gone, the musicians had vanished, and his silver
watch, valued at £6, and all his money had disappeared,
His go'd chain was hanging loose in front of him. The
prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. She resisted
being searched by NI rs Crosier, the female searcher, and
assaulted her. Herbert, a constable, No. 210 H, went to
the assistance of Mrs Crosier, and the prisoner attacked
him and bit his hand,

Mr Joseph Levy, the landlord of the Kettle Drum,
Ratcliff-highway, said the captain of the Ebenezer was
only in his house a few moments. He was informed the
two darkeys took Captain Perfect's watch, and the prisoner
took his money.
_ _ _

Mr Partridge said the captain was a silly fellow to go to
sleep in a public -house with money and a silver watch with
gold chain about him. Ile was only surprised that the
gold chain was not stolen. It would be useless to send this
case for trial. He discharged the prisoner as far as the
felony was concerned, and committed her to prison for a
month for the assault.

MY SISTER'S GOLD Waact3.—Amelia Harwood, a well-
known thief, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with
stealing a gold watch, value £lO, a silk neckerchief, and a
silk pocket-handkerchief from the person of Thos. Croxon,
a seaman, of No. 3, Forest-vale, Sydenham.
The prosecutor said he had been at sea seven years. He
lived with his sister in Forest-vale. On Friday he came to
Ratcliff-highway to see the fun and the girls. He borrowed
his sister's gold watch to wear and look smart. He met
the prisoner, and she took him home to 3, Elbow-lane,
Shadwell. He soon fell asleep, and when he awoke his
sister's gold watch, his neckerchief, his handkerchief, his
i c
purse and 25s in silver were missing. He accused the

THE FEDERAL AND CoN/FED!RATE LOSSES IN
VIRGINIA. —The -Richmond Dispatch of June 9
gives the following comparative estimate of the losses in the
two armies.--" Wre think it may be safely
asserted that, since
war first became known to mankind, no General ever sacri,
heed his men so recklessly, so remorselessly, and to so little
purpose as Gen. Grant. He started from his camp on the
north side e t the Rappahannock Hula more than a month
ago with 130,000 men. Hs has been reinforced, according to
the staterneuts of his friends, by more than 80,000 eince that
time—viz , Stanton says he sent him 25,000 veterans after
the battle of the 12th of May; Butler has sent him 20,000,
and prisoners say he has received 40,000 from Ooio and other
sources, making a total of 85,000. Yet his army at this
dttuyr,cienslhe qinien of those best qualified to judge, does not
ignetexceed 100,000 men, and is certainly greatly inferior
inaumybers to what it was when he started on his crusade.
He lost 75,000 in Spottsylvania, and his losses in Hanover
cannot have fallen very far short of 25,000, Thus he has
sacrificed 100,000 men, the flower not only of his own troops,
but of the whole United States army. In return he has
effected nothing, absolutely nothing. Lee's entire loss since
the campaign opened does not amount to 17,000, all told,
killed, wounded, and missing. He bas never once been
forced from a position, and has only fallen back when his
enemy, despairing of victory, btu attempted to slide off to
his left, and get in his rear, without fut ther fighting. Grant
in the meantime has been brought up before M'Clellan's old
lines beyond the Chickahonainy, and is not able to take a
tingle step in advance. He has thrown away 100,000 men
to obtain what he could have hadior nothing."
