MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday were firm for
wheat, and prices advanced ls per quarter. Barley, oats,
beans, and peas, supported previous rates, with a moderate
demand. In flour, sales progressed somewhat slowly, yet
the quotations ruled firm. _

Advices from New York state that the export demand
for wheat and flour was moderately active, and that con-
siderable quantities of produce were on passage to London
and Liverpool. The Continental markets are generally
flat.

Small supplies of English grain were received up to our
market last week. The imports from abroad were 15,629
quarters of wheat, 1,628 barley, 17,012 oats, 173 beans, 45
peas, 4,425 maize, 116 sacks and 11,140 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the receipts of home-
grown wheat were on a very moderate scale. Nothwith-
standing the increased firmness in the trade in the country
markets held at the close of last week, the demand both for
red and white samples was in a sluggish state. Compared
with Monday last no quotable change took place in the
currency, factors being indisposed t 3 press sates , but many
offers were made at a reduction of is per quarter from this
day se'nnight. The heaviness was caused by the favour-
able change in the weather for harvest operations.
The market was we:l supplied with most descriptions of
foreign wheat. Generally speaking, the demand ruled in-
active, and the amount of business transacted was on a very
moderate scale, at previous quotations.
In floating cargoes of grain a fair business was done on
former terms.

There was a parcel of new barley on the Kentish stands,
in but middling condition. With old and foreign produce
the market was scantily supplied, yet the inquiry was far
from active, at previous rates.

Malt changed hands slowly. The currency, however,
was unchanged from Monday last.
The supply of oats on offer was moderately good. No
change took place in the value of any description, but the
demand was decidedly inactive.
Beans were in limited supply but slow request at late
rates.

Peas were steady in price. All descriptions, however
met a slow sale, no►withstanding that the supply on offer
was very moderate. 'l here was a parcel of new hog peas

on sale.

The supply of American flour on the stands was tolerably
large, and the demand ruled inactive, at late rates. Town
and country made qualities met a slow sale, on former
elms.

SPORTING NOTES.

The races at Southampton, Winchester, and Notting-
ham last week had no effect on the betting for future events,
with the exception of the increased support awarded to
Anfield for the Goodwood Stakes. Ihe Nottingham Meet-
ing introduced us to nothing better than the Clown and
Garotter among the two year olds, but both these horses
showed a great improvement in looks, and the form of Lord
Hastings's youngster must be considered first-class, for be
got second in the Nottingham Nursery Plate with Bst 91b,
giving the winner (Inverness) 291 b, and the third (La Belle
Feronniere) 101 b, and as the latter managed at Stamford to
get close to Cceur de Lion at 61b, Garotter will be worth
watching for his future engagements, though the fact of his
being of the blood of West Australian will always stop him
over a long distance. Lord Hastings, who came of age on
Thursday last, was in luck a; the meeting, for he managed to
win a couple of races with Garotter,and the Brigadeßandicap
with Tippler, and the latter has proved to be a useful horse
to his lordship since he got him at Ascot. Lord Stamford's
luck, en the contrary, was dead out, for he was only credited
with one race, and that was by the aid of Revolver, who
seems to like the course, as he was also successful for the
Handicap in the Spring. Dulcibella's true form was at last
exposed, and like the mrjority of "bottled-up" horses, she
failed to fulfil the expectations formed respecting her, and
the race she tried for ended in the two three-year olds who
started getting first and second, the winning honour being
achieved by Erin- go -Bragg], who turned out to be the best
Cliff's stable could uroduce, and their non-estimation of his
chance is proved by the long price offered against him at the
start, though he luckily proved to be one of a lot against
whom his owner accepted " four monkeys" the previous
week, Had Blithfield, my selected, been better ridden round
the last turn he would have landed the prize to a certainty,
for he lost fully half-a-dozen lengths there, and to add to
his misfortune, one of his plates came off just within the
distance, and he was nearly thrown down, so that it is some-
thing wonderful that he should get within half a length of
the winner after all. At Wincheeter Molly Carew made
ber fifth appearance this year, and though she looked as if
she had done no work for a month, she managed to beat
Hengist, who bad been tried at home to give Becky Sharpe
10Ib, so that her form must still be looked upon
the best as that has been exhibited yet. She un-
fortunately met with an accident on returning from the
course, by which the fleshy part about half-way between
her shoulder and stifle was cut through to the bone, and
this will prevent her showing again in public for the re-
mainder of this year at least. Among the lot she beat last
Tuesday was Eastminster, a son of Newminster out of Cal-
cutta, who will do better whenever he runs thoroughly
prepared. The Goodwood meeting commences to-morrow
with one of the best programmes that has ever been issued.
The list extends to no fewer than thirty-three items, spread
over Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. There
are twenty-six horses nominated for the Levant Stakes, the
best amongst them being Durham and Crytheria. Lord
Zetland will have no difficulty with the Gratwicke Stakes
with his high-bred Zapateado, as also the Four Year Old
race with Piccador. There are 73 horses entered for the
Stewards Cup; but to analyse the merits of those likely to
take part in the affray would be a sheer waste of time. I
will only select a few, one of which may furnish the winner
—viz., Muezzin, Keane, Bionde la, Cheerful, and Dolphin.
The list for Wednesday also extends to eight races, includ
ing the Goodwood Stakes, the Findon Stakes, the Draw-
ing-room Stake-, and the Goodwood Derby, to all of which
great interest attaches.
The starters for the Goodwood Stakes will be selected
from the following :

Yrs. st. lb.
Maid of Masham filly .. 4 811 Alderoft.
Bellman .. 5 8 6 Challoner.
Loiterer
Knuteford
Grimston
Balham

Magnum Bonum 4 7 1 Daley.
Bandage 4 612 Drewe.
Evenhand

Anfield
Blondin
Zapateado
Blackdown 3 6 2 Mordan.
Brian Bent . 3 6 0 Crouch.
Wasp gelding
Can zonette.
Lord Glasgow's filly has far too much weight. Bellman,
if in anything like the same form when he beat Caller Ou
last year in Ireland, ought to have a great chance, but that
he can give Zetland 91b. Ido not believe. If the latter was
in here at 7st 1 lib it would be odds on him, as he is nearly
the equal of Buckstone, for in the Epsom Cup he beat the
latter at only a difference of 41b, Loiterer is doing good
steady work, but Ido not think him class enough. Knuts-
ford has been knocked about in the betting ; but if he comes
to the post in anything like his last year's form, I would
look no farther for the winner. Grimston, Balham,
Magnum Bonnm, and Bandage may help to swell
the field, but I do not think any of them will
receive honourable mention from the judge. Anfield
belongs to a dangerous party, and if he reaches the
post with winning orders, he will only have to fear Knuts -
ford to effect his overthrow. Blondin is the best of Mt.
Parr's pair, but I expect he .vill come to grief before he
finishes his journey. Zapateado belongs to one of the most
honourable noblemen on the turf. He has been highly
tried with Piccador, and as his lordship's horses always
run with winning orders, those who invest on him will have
an honest ran for their money. The only other with an
outside chance is Blackdown, who is in Drewitt's stable,
and ,s doing good work. I expect, when the numbers go
up, that the judge will place
ZAPATEADO 1
ANFIELD 2
KNUTSFORD 3

The Goodwood Cup will rest between Ls TOC4IIES and
ISOLINE, giving the preference to the former.

the charitable, on behalf of the voluntary teachers of the
school, for funds to enable them to take 500 poor children
attending the schools for a day's trip into the country, and
thus give them what they cannot find in the alleys and

Naval and Military Intelligence.

THE NAVY.

The Channel fleet arrived off Sunderland on Thurs-
day morning. The news of the arrival of the fleet
spread quickly throughout the town, and the piers
and docks were thronged with persons anxious to
view the squadron, Several steamboats freighted
with passengers left the harbour for the fleet. Steam-
boats from the Tyne and Blyth also paid the squa-
dron a visit soon after it had taken up its position.
In the course of the afternoon the Mayor of Sunder-
land, accompanied by several members of the cor-
poration and commissioners of the docks, proceeded
in a steamboat to pay their respects to Rear-Admi-
ral DacweF. On Friday Rear-Admiral Dacres, with
a staff of the superior officers, made a public land
ing. There was a public ball given in the evening.
There were present 200 officers from the fleet and
300 ladies and gentlemen from the town and neigh-
bourhood-500 in all. On Saturday a dinner was
given to Rear-Admiral Dacres and 100 officers of

A Child Starved to Death by a Maniac.
Strange Romance.

On Saturday Mr. William Payne, coroner fur
the City of London and Southwark, held an inquest
respecting the death of Jessie Jenner, aged five
months, who was alleged to have lost her life
through starvation under very strange circum-
stances.

Maria Shrine said that on Wednesday last she
was asked by the father of the deceased to assist
him in picking or forcing in a door in the house, No.
28, Lansdown-place, Southwark. Upon entering
the room the wife of the man took up a chopper and
a knife, and attempted to strike them. She ap-
peared to be out of her mind. In a corner of the
room, on a box, lay the dead body of the deceased,
with a piece of muslin over its face. A doctor was
sent for.

Dr. W. Babbage said that on the day in question
tie was called in to see the deceased. The body was
on the cover of a box, and was shockingly emaci-
ated. The mother lay on a sort of bed on the floor.
She kept her hands over her eyes, and would not
loot up or speak when he addressed her. He be-
iieved her not to be in her right mind. From in-
quiries he learned that the deceased had been fed
by the mother on pure cold water out of a bottle.
rhe bottle was the common medicine bottle pro-
duced. There was only a little undissolved sago,
in lumps, at the bottom. He ordered the woman
to the union infirmary because he considered she
was a lunatic. The post mortem examination showed
that there was no trace of food in the stomach or
intestines. There was not a particle of fat in the
system. There were some traces of mesenteric dis-
ease, but nothing to produce death. The cause of
death was want of food. The mother starved and
neglected the child through lunacy,
Henry Jenner said that his wife had become de-
ranged since January last, on account of the follow-
i❑g circumstances :—ln that month, his daughter,
who was 20 years of age, was a servant at the Sun
Hotel, Jersey. A colonel in the army took a fancy
to her, and married her. He made a settlement on
his wife, and also promised a small allowance to
witness's wife. The latter was of respectable
family, her brother being the editor of a newspaper
in the Channel Islands. Witness had been in a
better position in life than he was at present. He
had a legacy left him by his uncle, but it proved
his ruin, and he had to become a bargeman. The
colonel, after his marriage, went to France, and as
there had been no communication from either of
them his wife grieved and lost her mind. She used
to sit at the window, saying, " Here she comes.
She is coming down the street at last." She need
also to imagine that the doctors were walking in
at the window to trepan her. He often asked
her to give the child milk, but she neglected it. He
was out all day and could not see after it.

The coroner having summed up, the jury returned
a verdict of death from want of nourishment.

The Fatal Accident on the Monmouthshire

Railway.

evninnAz, Saturday.
This protracted inquiry, which has been four times
adjourned, was brought to a close last night. It will be
remembered that an accident of a fearful character occurred
on the Monmouthshire Railway at this place on the 3d inst.,
when an express train ran off the rails, smashed the car-
riages, and killed the driver, Robert Wighae, and seriously
injured other persons. Tho inquest on APGI hee was held

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

CRACOW, JULY 26.

Letters received here from Warsaw announce
that 200 persons were transported on the 20th to
