MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The supply of English Wheat on offer in to•day's
market was but moderate. Although the attendance of
buyers was comparatively limited, the demand ruled
steady, and Monday's advance in the quotations was
well supported. For forward delivery very little was
doing. Rather over 6,000 quarters of foreign Wheat
have come in, chiefly from the westward. Really fine
qualities were held firmly, at extreme currencies, but
all other kinds commanded scarcely any attention. For
floating cargoes we had no inquiry. Malting Barley
was scarce, and quite as dear, but grinding and distil-
ling sorts met a slow sale. Malt, though in short
supply, commanded very little attention. We had a
fair consumptive inquiry for Oats at last week's cur-
rency. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were firm.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
----

OLD COURT.
Hannah Weir, alias Olivia Davidson, pleaded guilty to a
charge of feloniously uttering a forged bank note for 104
well knowing the same to be forged, with intent to defraud
the Bank of England.
Mr. Bonfurt, who had been retained for the prisoner, inti-
mated to the Court that there was reason to believe she had
been made an unconscious instrument :in carrying cut the
fraudu'ent practices of other persons ; and it was hoped, if the
Court wculd respite the judgment in this case, there would
be a chance of bringing those parties to justice.
Mr. CrAnksort, who appeared for the Bank, said he was
ignorant of the circumstances referred to by his Learned
Friend, but, looking at the youth and former respectability
of the prisoner, he should make no objection to this request.
The COURT accordingly directed the judgment to be re-
spited until next session.
Edward Charles Masterton was indicted for stealing two
Post-office letters containing money, value 2s. 6d. the pro-
perty of the Postmaster-General. The prisoner pleaded not
guilty.
Mr. Bodkin, with whom was Mr. Clarkson, appeared for
the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine defended the prisoner.
The prisoner had been a sorter in the General Post-office,
a situation which he had held for some time with credit to
himself and satisfaction to his superiors, but a circumstance
occurred a few weeks ago which induced the authorities of
the Post-office to set a watch upon him. On the morning of
the 31st of December last, while engaged in his duties of
sorting, he was observed to crumple up two letters, and after-
Wards transfer them to his pocket. Ile was then called out
by one of the detectives of the office and taken before the
President of the Inland Department, in whose presence he
Was searched. Two unopened letters containing coin were
found in his possession, and as he could give no satisfactory
account of how he came by them he was at once given into
Custody.
Mr. BALLANTINE addressed the jury for the defence, and
afterwards called several persons of the highest respectabi-
lity, who stated that the prisoner had hitherto been an irre-
prochable character.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, with a strong re-
commendation to mercy, on account of the prisoner's previous
good character.
The CoURT sentenced him to seven years' transportation.

NEW COURT.
Susan Ryan, 28, was indicted for stealing 51bs. weight of
pork, value 2s. lid., and slbs. weight of mutton, value
2s. 3d., the property of William Henry Clarke, butcher, at
Greenwich.
The prisoner was detected in the act of secreting the mut-
ton under her dress. The pork was missed on a previous
occasion when she was in the shop.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of stealing the mutton,
but acquitted her on the charge of stealing the pork.
Evidence was then given to show that she had been twice
convicted in this Court of misdemeanour, and several times
summarily convicted before the magistrates for stealing.
The RECORDER, sentenced her to be transported for seven
years. _ .

The prisoner became very violent and noisy on hearing the
sentence, and was with great difficulty removed from the
dock.

THIRD COUtiT.

- -
George Frazer and John Chapel, two young men, one a
sailor and the other a waterman, were indicted for stealing
a quantity of horse-hair.
The robbery was committed on board a steam-vessel,
called the Flora, while at anchor off Woolwich. The pri-
soners, it appeared, effected an entrance into the chief cabin,
tore up the stuffed horse-hair seats, and sold the material to
a marine-store dealer. Frazer had been previously convicted
at the Old Bailey, and the other prisoner was known as the
associate of bad characters.
They were both found Guilty. Frazer was transported for
seven years, and Chapel sentenced to nine months' impri-
sonment.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day,)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The quietness of the holi-
days is succeeded, in this the first market-day- of the
new year, by some increase of business ; and the
steadiness which then generally prevailed in prices is
certainly not diminished in any department, whilst in
many articles, we have rather more of firmness, and in
some a slight upward tendency. For India, qualities of
40's, .50's, and 60's twist, which have latterly betrayed a
little additional weakness, there arose an unexpected
demand in the course of this morning; a fair amount
of business was done; and the spinners are now
scarcely disposed to sell at the previous quotations.
The better sorts of 40's have also been in request;
' and bundles of this count, in both kinds, have
gained id. per lb., some spinnings id. In con-
sequence of a somewhat augmented inquiry, the
bias in 20's and 30's reeled vrater twist is in favour of
preducers, who are mostly under contract; and this
is likewise the case with some numbers of warps
for the home and foreign markets. Pin-eops
and other yarns remain steady. For the better
classes of printing cloths and 40-inch shirtings
a slight advance might be obtained, if the makers
were not too much under engagements to be able to
take orders. Domestics, T's, end long cloths are steady;
light printers, madapollams, and shirtings, are still
inanimate, but without change in value. The accounts
of business at the Leipsic fair are not very favourable.
The dealers in and the consumers of yarns, however, are
evidently supplied in the barest possible manner.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.— We have had very little doing
either in the piece or wool market to-day. Indeed, the
markets between Christmas-day and the new market are
always thinly attended, and a very limited amount of
business is generally transacted.

MACCLE;FIELD, TUESDAY.—our annual holidays hav-
ing intervened during the last week, we have little pro-
gress to report amongst the manufacturers. Much
complaint is still expressed at the low prices offered for
goods, which are in some instances below what they
actually cost; but as stocks are only light we think an
improvement must take place ere long. The year
Just passed has been ono of almost uninterrupted disap-
pointment in this respect, from a variety of causes ; but
there are now evident indications that the worst has
been passed, for with raw silk at a moderate rate—
say 10 to 12i per cent. below the prices of last
January—an easy state of the money market, and
the general healthy state of the country, added to the
very improved appearances of things in France, we
think there are the elements for a good trade amongst
our manufacturers for the year we have just entered
upon. Thrown silks continue in request, the conti-
nental markets absorbing surplus stock. Letters from
Lyons of Ist current report a very large business
doing, upwards of 3,000 bales (being the largest ever
recorded) having passed the condition during the
moth of December. Prices are reported to have ad-
vanced fully 15 per cent., diminished stocks favouring
the expectation of a further rise. Such being the case,
and our home consumption progessing favourably, it is
not improbable that an advance in prices for throwns
will be obtained here shortly. Raw Silks—There is au
active business still doing, the demand being chiefly di-
rected to the medium qualities of Chinas and the best
filature Bengals: the latter have been much sought after,
and Is. per lb. is now established on them. The great
rise in the prices of Italians, which in some instances
amount to 3s. per lb. will no doubt tempt our naanufac-
turcrs to avail themselves of the use of this silk.

HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY. With the first market
in the new year we have to report an improvement.
There has been abetter demand for goods of a higher
class for the home trade. Black doeskins and mixtures
have been inquired for. The shippers have done a little
during the week, but are expecting to be busy shortly
with American orders. In the wool market there has
been more demand, especially for wools of a combing
quality. Generally, every hope is held out for a good
trade this season; and there being an improvement in
the first market in the new year augurs well.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—AIthonh the attendance in
our p►ece-sall to-day has not been large, and the amount
of business tdone not extensive, yet there has been a
better inquiry for damasks and amens; and the general
tone of feeling is more cheerful. The demand for yarn
is improving, and the recent advance is firmly main-
tained. Wool is quiet, at the late quotations.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.

Mr. Davies, the Master-Attendant of the Royal Cla-
rence Victualling Establishment, Gosport, to-day superin-
tended the completion of the fitting of Grant's improved
cooking galley on board the Simoom iron troop steam-
ship, which is now coaling for a good trial. This galley
cooks and distils (one gallon of fresh aerated water
from salt water per minute) for /AO men. Such an
acquisition for ships of war, whether steam or sailing
vessels, cannot be too highly estimated.
The Diligence naval transport sailed to-day with
dockyard siores for Devonport.
DEVONPORT, JAN. 5. —Megsera screw steam-troop-
ship, Master-Commander Barlow, put into the Sound at
eleven A.m. this day, having on board troops for the
Cape of Good Rope. She has some defects to be made
good, and will be supplied with 100 tons of coals to fill
up her complement. She is expected to come into har-
bour to morrow to have her detects made good.

THE MASTER ENGINEERS AND THE
AMALGAMATED SOCIETY.
But small progress has as yet been made towards th e
amicable and satisfactory settlement of the question at
issue, which is so essential to the interests of both master s
and men, and which would be so agreeable to the public.
It has been intimated that the executive of the Amalga -
mated Society had determined to appoint a deputation of
the body to wait npon the Masters' Association, shoal,
they express any desire to receive them. On the saw e
day, the men, not content with the barren deelaratioa
that they would send a deputation, if it should be wished.,
communicated the intention at which they arrived to Mr.
Sidney Smith in the following terms:—
" Little Alie-street, Jan. 5, 1352.
"Sir,—The public newspapers having stated that the
executive committee of the Employers' Association were
desirous of seeing a deputation of the workmen, the
executive council of the Amalgamated Society beg to say'
that if the committee of employers are desirous of seeing;
us, we hold ourselves in readiness to wait on them in re-
lation to the question now in dispute.
(Signed) " Wm. ALLAN, Secretary.
"To Sidney Smith, Esq."
To that communication the following reply was re-.
ceived the same evening:—

" 60, Bucklorabury, Jan. 5.
" Sir,—l have received from you a letter of this date,
which will be laid before the executive committee of thin
association, at their ordinary meeting to-morrow, at two

At two o'clock yesterday a meeting of the executive
committee of employers referred to by Mr. Smith
was held, when Mr. Allan's letter was brought for-
ward and discussed. The meeting was a private one.
