MARK-LANE.

Trade for wheat in Ihe country markets held on Satur-
day was quiet, but previous quotations were in most
instances supported. Spring corn changed hands to a
moderate extent at late rates. The flour trade was steady
on former terms. Advises from New York state that
although the arrival of produce had hcreased, both wheat
and fl ,ur were in steady request at enhanced quotations,
and that rather more business was doing for export to Great
Britain. On the continent the trade generally is quiet.
Limited supplies of English grain were received up to our
market last week. The imports from abroad were on a more
liberal liberal scale. They amounted to 16,248 quarters of
wheat, 6,959 barley, 16,382 oats, 6 beans, 265 peas, 1,476
linseed, 25,255 oilseeds, 5,329 maize, 45 sundry seeds, 410
sacks and 4,355 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat on stle here, to-day, was
small, and the demand, both for Kent and Essex produce
ru ed steady, at an advance in prices, compared with Mon-
day last, of Is. per quarter. The quality of the produce on
offer was good. _

With most descriptions of foreign wheat the market was
moderately supplied. Generally speaking, however, the
trade was slow; but last Monday's currency was well
supported. . .

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request, at
late rates. The supply of barley on the stands was season-
ably large. Compared with Monday last, no quotable
change took place in the value, either of grinding or dis-
tilling qualities, but the trade ruled quiet
Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at previous
quotations.
With oats, the market was moderately supplied. On
the whole the trade ruled steady at late rates.
The few English beans offered were taken readily at late
rates.

Peas, the supply of which on sale was small, ruled firm,
at full currencies.

In flour about an average business was transacted, at
previous quotations.

" ANY ORNAMENTS FOR YOUR FIRE STOVES!'—
CAUTION TO FAMlLlES.—Elizabeth Moore, axed 32, was
brought before Mr. Paget, on remand, charged with being
in the house of Mr. Charles Butterworth, tailor, of No. 12,
Hereford-terrace, Oxtord-street, Whitechapel, fur an un-
lawful purpose. . _

A few days since the prosecutor, who had been out on
business, returned to his home and went into his bedroom
to put a coat away, when he was astonished at seeing the
legs and feet of a woman under his bed. His astonishment
was, in fact, so great that he could not meddle with her,
and called to his wife, who exclaimed, "A woman under
our bed, I will soon have her out," and dragged the raj-
secer from under the bed, and also took from under the
same bed a basket containing ornamental paper shavings.
The prisoner robed her eyes and called:out in a shrill clear
voice, " any ornament for your fire stoves." Mrs Butter-
worth gave the prisoner into custody. She was searched at
the station house, and five skeletCT- keys for street doors
were found upon her.
William Church, 304 K, said the prisoner p,:•tended to be
very drunk when he was taken into custody, but Was of
opinion she knew perfectly well what she was about. She
was a vendor of ornaments for fire stoves, or pretended to
be so. Her stock in trade consisted of one basket of paper
shavings. The skeleton keys would open half the street
doors in London. Some of the women who called out any
ornaments for your fire stoves were thieves who got into
houses under cover of their ostensible occupation. The
prisoner first gave her address in Back-church-lane, White-
chapel, and afterwards at 1, George .street, Spitalfields. She
had lived in York-street, which contained a nest of thieves.

The prisoner, in defence, said that she was intoxicated
when she went into the tailor's house. She went under the
bed to lie down and have a sleep.

Mr Paget said if that had been the intention of the pri-
soner she would have laid down on the top of the bed, and
not concealed herself under it. He believed the prisoner
went into the house for the purpose of committing a felony.
She had called no witnesses, and had given a very unsatis-
factory account of herself. He sentenced her to be impri•
soned for one month and kept to hard labour.

Its BANERMAN.

This bankrupt was a merchant in Clock-lane, and this
was an application by Mr Lawrence for his Honour to re-
scind an order by Mr Commis inner Pane for the sale of
certain portions of the bankrupt's property. Mr Lawrence
contended that the order had been obtained unfairly behind
the back of his Honour; and he contended that there was
now a general rule to sell the property at once at a great
sacrifice to the injury of creditors. In this case the pro-
perty consisted of pictures which bad cost the bankrupt
£150; and, although the bankruptcy only tock place on the
12:1 May, the order was applied for on the 13th May, and
the property seized by Messrs Cutten and Davies, but for-
tunately had not been yet sold. He consithred that the
eptern which now prevailed of seiz ng and selling off pro-
party immediately u as a scandalous abuse.
Mr Graham, the official assignee, said he was not aware
any pictures had been taken.

His Honour thought that the application ought to be
made to Mr Commissioner Fane. lie was, hlwever, of
opinion that the Court ought, in the circumstances, to grant
the application.

The Volunteer Review.

On Saturday the Volunteers were reviewed 'in
Hyde Park in the presence of such a concourse, of
spectators as has seldom before assembled w ithi❑
its precincts. As a military demonstration it was,
of its kind, one of the most important, as '4 pageant
it was one of the most brilliant it is possible to
imagine. With the single slight and necessary
omission of the Royal salute at the close of the pro-
ceedings—a salute which it was impossible to give
line with such a number of men in such a limited
area of ground, the programme was rigidly adhered
to, even as to time, and the whole display reflects
the greatest credit both on Colonel M'Murdo and
the War-office, who had its management, end the
corps of Volunteers, who so perfectly carried out
their instructions.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The" London anciVenezuela Bank" has for its proposed
operations a ground unoccupied, and is most urgently re-
quired. Preliminary negotiations have been in progress ior
re-
some months, and the project has been sub flitted to the
judgment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and
has met with their univalified approval. Suppers is promised
in highly influential quarters, and the Dirpotol3 are assured
that the privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by
the Government.
The banking facilities which Caracas has hitherto pos-
sessed have been very limited, but the feet that the Bank
of Caracas, which will now merge ii,to this establishment,
has - despite its restricted means—earned a net profit exceed-
ing 30 percent. per annum, leaves no doubt that the present
undertaking will result in complete success.
The following, published by Messrs. Matheson and Cn.,
while inviting tenders forth !Venezuelan Loan in June last,
will confirm the above statements :
" At present there is almost an entire absence of banking
accommodation in Venezuela. Possessed of every advantage
of clim.te and soil, within sixteen days' sail of Englanl, the
exis'ing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the com-
merce of the country, and to the increasing production and
rapidly extending exports of its coffee, cocoa, cotton, hides,
&c. The advantages of this
Institution will be obvious to all, and as the rat .s of interest
range from 10 to 15 per cent, per annum, the profits may be
expected to be considerable,"
It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in-
creased and increasing demand for cap tal for the cultivation
of cotton, which is now being exported to England in large
quantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much
higher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson.
The want of an Exchange Bank in Venezuela ()elisions
the utmost inconvenience in buying and selling foreign
bills ; this Bank will supply the want, and as returns can be
made with far greater r.pidity from Venezuela than from
India, where banking facilities of a like nature have been
found extremely profitable, it is certain this branch must be
still more remunerative.
The principal control of the London and Venezuela
Bank will be vested in the Board of Directors in England.
They will select a manager of known qualifications, who,
on his arrival, wi 1 have he assistance and advice of the
Directors in Caracas and La Guayra, who are Europeans of
high standing in the country, and well known in connection
with Venezuelan trade and finance.

sociation may be inspected, and every information obtained.

R?, EANERMAN,

This bankrupt was a merchant in Clock-lane, and this
was an apDlication by Mr Lawrence for his Honour to re-
scind an order by Mr Commissioner Fane for the sale of
certain portions of the bankrupt's property. Mr Lawrence
contended that the order had been obtained unfairly behind
the back of his Honour ; and he contended that there was
now a general rule to sell the property at once at a great
sacrifice to the injury of creditors. In this case the pro-
perty consisted of pictures which bad cost the bankrupt
£150; and, although the bankruptcy only took place on the
12th May, the order was applied for on the 13th May, and
the property seized by Messrs Cutten and Davies, but for-
tunately had not been yet sold. He considered that the
system which now prevailed of seiz ng and selling off pro-
perty immediately was a scandalous abuse.
Mr Graham, the official assignee, said he was not aware
any pictures had been taken.
His Honour thought that the application ought to be
made to Mr Commissioner Fane. He was, however, of
opinion that the Court ought, in the circumstances, to grant
the application.

An Ancient Bucket Engine.

M. Deligny, now engaged in working the copper
mines of San Domingos, in' the provence of Alem-
tejo, Portugal, has just sent a bucket-wheel, dating
from the Roman period, to the Conservatories des
Arts-et-Metiers, and a paper on the subject to the
Academy of Sciences. The above-mentioned mines,
where this wheel was found, were worked in the
earliest ages by the first nations that peopled the
Iberian Peninsula. The chief mines in Portugal
were Setubal and Troya ; in Spain, the mountains
of Tharsis and Zalamen, or Soloman, whither So•
lomon and Hiram sent their fleets to procure the
copper required for the decoration of the Temple.
The great importance of these ,mines is shown by
the masses of scoria) still visible around, and.
which are estimated at 20 millions of tons, ac-
cumulated in the course of several ages; the
copper extracted is thence calculated at 800,000
tons. These scoriae also reveal two different sys-
tems of treatment of the ore, pertaining, one to
the Phoenicians, the other to the Roman period,
there having been an interruption between the
two, caused by the wars between Carthage and
Rome, and the conquest of the country by the
latter. It would appear that the Romans re-
sumed the working of these mines under Caesar,
coins bearing his Effigy and that of Augustus
having been found in them ; the working was not
discontinued until the invasion of the barbarians
under Honorius. An inscription preserved in the
Mining School at Madrid shows that, under
Nerve, the working of the mines of Thartesis
Bcetica was regularly organised. The Romans
worked them systematically; the waters were
drained off through galleries, which in many cases
attained a considerable length, as much sometimes
as 1,400 metres. The ore was extracted through
shafts at distances of from 26 to 40 metres. When
the shafts were very deep, an additional shaft for
ventilation was sunk close to the main ones; they
sometimes were 80 metres in depth. But as the hard-
ness of the rock sometimes prevented the miners
from continuing their galleries below the level of
the waters, these would accumulate in certain
places, and then a bucket engine was used to pump
them out. The one Fell!' to the Conservatoire, and
discovered at San Doutingos, is 6.66 metres in
diameter. The spokes are of fir, the axle and its
supports of oak. The buckets, 25 in number, are 16
centimetres in width, by 50 in length and 13 in
height. All the pieces of the wheel are joined with-
out any metallic fittings. The wheel was set in
motion by men in the manner a treadmill is
worked. *ll.- quantity of water thrown out per
second was 1 84 hectolitres. This wheel dates
from the year 412 of our era, and his therefore
existed 1,452 years ; it is certainly the oldest relic
of its kind.— GaUgnani.

FORGERY ♦ND ROBBERY BY A CLERK.—Alfred Morley,
aged fourteen, lately a clerk to Mr. Clennell, solicitor,
South-square, Gray's-inn, was ',laced befo-e Mr. Vaughan
charged with forging the name of Mr. Clennell, in whose
service he was a short time ago, to a post office order for
£2, and also for stealing a cheque for the payment of £4O.
Mr. Clennell, solicitor, of 7, South-square, Gray's Inn-
road, said the prisoner acted as his clerk oa the 17th inst.
On the 23d he received the letter produced signed, " J.
Fraser," from a place in Monmouthshire, but he had not
received an order for £2 from that gentleman. The signa-
ture " W. Clennell " to the receipt for the £2 from the
Holborn Post-office for the money was not in his
(witness's) hand-writing, but he believed it to be that
of the prisoner. He had no authority to receive the money
and sign the receipt. The prisoner attended at the dike
early in the -morning, and by that means he had oppor-
tunities of getting possession of the letters. He
had no doubt a large number of letters had been
stolen, as he had discovered many that had
been written to him which he had not received.
In consequence of information he had received he wrote to
Mr Fraser and told him he had neither received the post-
office order for £2 or the cheque for £4O, which had also
been forwarded to him.

The police constable who apprehended the prisoner said
that when he took him into custody he told him he was
charged with stealing the post-office order. He admitted
stealing, it, and further stated that after the robbery he
went to the Crystal Palace and spent one sovereign, and
lost the other. The prisoner was then fully committed for
trial.
Mr. Lewis, who prosecuted, said he now intended to
proceed with a charge against the prisoner for stealing a
cheque for £4O. He admitted having destroyed the docu-
ment

An Ancient Bucket Engine.

M. Deligny, now engaged in working the copper
mines of San Domingos, in the provence of Alem-
tejo, Portugal,lirtilast sent a bucket-wheel, dating
from the Roman period, to the Conservatories des
Arts-et-Metiers, and a paper on the subject to the
Academy of Sciences. The above-mentioned mines,
where this wheel was found, were worked in the
earliest ages by the first nations that peopled the
Iberian Peninsula. The chief mines in Portugal
were Setubal and Troya ; in Spain, the mountains
of Tharsis and Zalamen, or Soloman, whither So•
lomon and Hiram sent their fleets to procure the
copper required for the decoration of the Temple.
The great importance of these :mines is shown by
the masses of scoriae still visible around, and
which are estimated at 20 millions of tons, ac-
cumulated in the course of several ages; the
copper extracted is thence calculated at 800,000
tons. These scoriae also reveal two different sys-
tems of treatment of the ore, pertaining, one to
the Phoenicians, the other to the Roman period,
there having been an interruption between the
two, caused by the wars between Carthage and
Rome, and the conquest of the eountry by the
latter. It would appear that the Romans re-
sumed the working of these mines under Caesar,
coins bearing his effigy and that of Augustus
having been found in them ; the working was not
discontinued until the invasion of the barbarians
under Honorius. An inscription preserved in the
Mining School at Madrid shows that, under
Nerve, the working of the mines of Thartesis
Boetica was regularly organised. The Romans
worked them systematically; the waters were
drained off through galleries, which in many cases
attained a considerable length, as much sometimes
as 1,400 metres. The ore was extracted through
shafts at distances of from 26 to 40 metres. When
the shafts were very deep, an additional shaft for
ventilation was sunk close to the main ones; they
sometimes were 80 metres in depth. But as the hard-
ness of the rock sometimes prevented the miners
from continuing their galleries below the level of
the waters, these would accumulate in certain
places, and then a bucket engine was used to pump
them out. The one sent to the Conservatoire, and
discovered at San Domingos, is 6.66 metres in
diameter. The spokes are of fir, the axle and its
supports of oak. The buckets, 25 in number, are 16
centimetres in width, by 50 in length and 13 in
height. Allthe pieces of the wheel are joined with-
out any metallic fittings. The wheel was set in
motion by men in the manner a treadmill is
worked. The quantity of water thrown out per
second was 1 84 hectolitres. This wheel dates
from the year 412 of our era, and has therefore
existed 1,452 years; it is certainly the oldest relict
of its kind.—Galignani.
