MARKETS--This Day.

The wheat trade in theMARK-LA cou
ntry markets, held on Satur-
day, was very quiet, and, in some instances, old wheats
changed hands at lower prices. All descriptions of spring
corn met a slow sale, but without loading to any material
change in the rates current on the previous week. Flour
sold heavily, at about recent quotations.
Advices from New York state that there Was less doing
in wheat and flour for export, but the quantity on passage
to Great Britain is moderately large. On the Continent,
the trade is dull.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad were
45,273 quarters of wheat ; 8,062 barley; 30,321 oats , 1,515
beans ; 4,559 peas ; 3,443 tares ; 7,275 rapeseed ; 6,2&
maize; 420 sundry seeds ; and 67,993 barrels of flour.
About three thousand quarters of new English wheat were
on sale at Mark-lane, to-day. A fair proportion was received
in excellent condition : but the state of several parcels
showed that the produce had not remained buflieiently lung
in the fields. The demand ruled far from active both for
red and white qualities ; Talavera realised 56s ; and the
business done in other kinds was chiefly at 46a to 51s per
quarter. There was very little 01l wheat on offer, yet the
trade was very slow, at barely last Monday's currency.
The show of American wheats on offer was large, and the
market was well supplied with produce from other coun-
tries. All descriptions met a dull inquiry, and in some
instances prices declined is per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain sold heavily, and previous quo-
tations were barely supported.
The supply of barley was very moderate. All qualities,
however, were in slow request, yet no change took place in
prices, compared with Monday last.
In malt a limited business was transacted on former
terms.

There was a moderately extensive supply of oats on offer.
The trade for all qualities ruled inactive, and in some in-
stances prices slightly declined.
Beans commanded very little attention, notwithstanding
that the supply on offer was but moderate. In the cur-
rency no charge took place.
Peas were unaltered in value, but the inquiry for them
was far from active. The supply on offer was very mode-
rate.

With barrel flour the market was extensively supplied,
and the aemand 1 b TII.e. ..o.kvy, on rathor oaoior terrno. Othor
descriptions or flour moved off slowly, at about stationary

prices.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr, Kerr.)
LOVE GIFTS NOT RECOVERABLE.-SINGULAR CASE-
RAPHAEL V. PHILLIPS.
This was an action to recover 205., the value of a certain
clock, alleged to be detained by Miss Julia Phillips.
Plaintiff said that the defendant (Miss Phillips) came to
his place and saw a clock. She said, " Oh, my father is a
clockmaker, and I will take this and show it to him. Per-
haps he will buy it." Plaintiff, however, had never seen
the clock again to this day.
Miss Phillips, a very pretty Jewess, said--Plaintiff was
courting me, and he made me a great many presents. We
had a quarrel, and he wants the things back.
His Honour—Then you do not feel disposed to return
them ?
Miss Phillips—Certainly not.
Plaintiff—l have a witness here who will prove that I
asked for the things bock.
His Honour—But she says they were presents, Was
that so ?
Plaintiff—l am entitled to have my presents back.
His Honour—Did any letters pass ?
(At this the defendant smiled, and said " No.")
Plaintiff's witnesses generally deposed to having heard
plaintiff demand the clock:
Alias Phillips—He bought the clock on Sunday morn-
ing and gave it to me as a present.
His Honour—Youshou:d not give clocks to young ladies,
Mr. Raphael. You must be nonsuited.
Nonsuited.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

GUILDHALL.

A young man named Atkinson was charged with obtain-
ing, by means of a forged order, a quantity of silk handker-
chiefs, the property of Messrs. Ellis and Hubbard.
From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had
previously been in the employ of Messrs. Leo, and in that
capacity he had become acquainted with the mode of busi-
ness of the house, and also the warehouses with which the
firm dealt. One day last week the prisoner presented an
order requesting that three pieces of silk handker-
chiefs might be supplied. No suspicion was enter-
tained, and the goods were supplied, and the prisoner
left. In a few days after Messrs. Ellis received a printed
g man was obtain-

Lee,
of forged orders. While the circular was being read in the
office the prisoner was seen to pass into the warehouse, and
a police-constable was sent for, and the prisoner given into
custody. After that the prisoner did not deny the charge
of falsely obtaining the goods.
A gentleman from the firm of Pawson, Son, and Com-
pany, said the prisoner came to their house a short time
ago and requested that a quantity of clothing might be
supplied him, as the agent of Messrs. Lee, of Teignraotth.
As the order produced was informal, and further that he could
not give a reference to any person in the city, he was not
supplied with the goods. _ _

A number of other witnesses gave evidence to prove
,hat various other houses had been victimieed.

Alderman Allen remanded the prisoner till Wednesday
next.

duplicate relating to the prosecutor's gold watch and chain
was found upon the prisoner.

Two respectable witnesses, neighbours of the parties, de-
posed to seeing the prisoner remove the gold watch and
chain from Mr. Rayner's neck on the 6th of July.
The prosecutor was recalled, and said ho valued his
watch and chain at £l6. The prisoner snatched his watch
and chain from his neck so very suddenly and rapidly that
he could not stop him.

John Good, assistant to Mr. Francis Cotter, of No. 10,
Shoreditch, produced Mr. Rayner's gold watch and chain,
which the prisoner had pawned for £3 10s. Mr. Good
said he had conscientious objections to the taking of an
oath, and claimed to make his solemn affirmation in the
terms of the Act of Parliament passed in the session of 1862.
He was questioned by'Mr. Woolrych, and said he was not
a Quaker, but a member of the Free English Church at
Hackney. He attended the services of that church. Scrip-
ture said—Swear not at all. He believed the usual oath
ordinarily administered to witnesses in our courts cf justice
was taking God's name in vain.
Mr. Woolrych permitted the witness to make his solemn
affirmation, in the terms of the act of Parliament.
James Barton, a constable of the K divisbn, said th 3 pri-
soner had not been in Limehouse, or any part of the dis-
trict since the robbery. He understood the prisoner had
been to Swansea, in North Wales.
The prisoner, in defence, said he saw Mr. Rayner play-
ing at skittles on the 6th of July, and he was so intoxicated
that he fell down. Mr. Rayner then came in front of the
bar, and he took his watch and chain away, with the inten-
tion of delivering both to Mrs. Rayner, but instead of doing
so, raised £3 10s. upon them.
Mr. Woolrych—l shall remand the prisoner until to-
morrow (Tuesday).
On the application of the City policeman, Saunders, the
duplicate of another gold watch, and the duplicate of two
silk handkerchiefs, taken from the prisoner, were restored
to him,
