MARKET .NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.--(FRIDAY.)
Somewhat increased supplies of English Wheat have
arrived for our markets this week, viz., 3,210 quarters,
partly of the present year's growth, and in but middling
condition. Fresh up to-day, by land-carriage, a few
parcels came to hand, but the show of samples, of both
red and white, was very moderate. Owing to the unfa-
vourable reports respecting the new crop, holders in ge-
neral were very firm, but the amount of business passing
was by no means extensive. Really fine parcels were is
per quarter dearer, and the value of other kinds was
well supported. There was more doing for forward
delivery. Upwards of 17,000 quarters of foreign
Wheat have come in. For most descriptions we
had a steady consumptive demand, at extreme curren-
cies. Floating cargoes were held for more money. The
show of English Barley was trifling, that of foreign up-
wards of 6,000 quarters. The demand was far from
active at late rates. Most kinds of new Malt wore con-
sidered the turn higher. The Oat trade was in a sluggish
state, owing to the large imports, which amounted to
32,110 quarters. In the value of Beans, Peas, and Flour
we have no change to notice.

of age, and formerly resided at Stamford, in Lincoln-
shire, but for the last twelve months had carried oo
business in copartnership with his brother as iron-

bus he had occasion to stop at the urinal at the
back of the National Gallery. He went into one of the
compartments, and left without seeing the prisoner or
speaking to any person, and proceeded direct towards
Oxford-street, by the Baths and Washhouses,_to o°'
