We are officially informed that a general court-

of tha 10th Hussars concerning rations. We are also in-

MARK-LANE.

MARKETS—This Day.

The trade for English wheat in the country markets held
on Saturday, was very dull, and prices declined from is to
2s per quarter. Fine malting barley was firm in price ;
but all other articles met a slow trade, and the quotations
had a downward tendency•

Advices from New York state that the export demand for
wheat and flour was very limited, and that prices had fur..
ther declined. On the Continent the corn trade generally
is dull, _ _

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were but moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to
14,026 quarters of wheat, 7,755 barley, 68,868 oats, 1,063
beans, 698 peas, 12 tares, 7,911 linseed, 544 oilseAs, 1,000
maize, 534 sundry seeds, 65 sacks, and 1,166 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were only moderate, but the quality and condition of
the produce were excellent. The demand both for red and
white qualities ruled heavy in the extreme, and the prices
realised were 2s per quarter lower than on Monday last.
The fall was equally great on Kent as on Essex produce.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. All descriptions sold heavily, and a decline of is
per quarter took place in the currency of this day se'nnight.

Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, and
the value both of wheat and spring corn had a downward

There was an increased supply of English barley on
offer, and several parcels of Scale produce were on the
stands, in fine condition. Grinding qualities moved off
steadily at quite previous rates, otherwise the barley trade
was less active, at a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter.

In malt a fair average business was transacted, and prices
ruled firm.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

The September session of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning.
The calendar contains the names of 101 persons for trial,
of whom no fewer than 21 are charged with uttering coun-
terfeit coin, 3 for firing stacks in Kent, 2 for forgery, 2 for
housebreaking, and 11 for misdemeanour. The other cases
are of the ordinary description, hut there is also a case of
child murder and attempted suicide in Marylebone.
The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said there
were, he was happy to say, but two or three cases upon
which he need address them. There was one case of a
painful character, a charge of wilful murder, in which
there was no question of the facts. Ou the contrary, it was
clear the murder had been committed, by the prisoner, and
the only question would be the state of mind of the prisoner
at the time. That, however, would not be for them to con-
sider, but it would very properly be taken into
consideration by the jury in that court. There
was also the case of a woman named Engleheart, who was
charged with causing the death of her child, of the age of
four years. The child, it would appear, was of unclean
habits, and some time apo the mother had medical advice;
she had placed the child in a cold bath, and kept it there 10
minutes. On taking it out the child appeared exhausted,
and she then put the child under the pump, and afterwards
took it upstairs. Finding the child insensible, she was
afraid she had kept it in the bath too long, and pre-
pared a warm bath, into which she placed deceased.
She told the neighbours she was afraid she had
kept the child too long in the cold water; but,
on examination, some bruises were discovered on the
body of the child, and she accounted for them by saying
she had let the child fall. A person who was in the house
at the time would prove that she heard no noise, and they
would have to say whether the case ought to be further
investigated. The next was the charge against a person of
the name of Styles, who was indicted under an Act of Parlia-
ment passed in tha reign of George 111., the Foreign En-
listment Act, which made it a misdemeanour for any person
to attempt to enlist persons for the service of a war with
a foreign power with whom this country was at peace. In
the present instance the defendant was indicted for enlist-
ing persons to serve in the war at present going
on between Poland and Russia. Two people were
attracted by advertisements inserted by Mr. Styles
for young men wishing employment, and on inquiry it
turned out that the employment was to assist the Poles
against the Russians. If those facts were proved before
them it would be their duty to return a true bill, and the
whole matter would undergo the fullest investigation. In
the event of any difficulty arising the court would most
readily give the grand jury every assistance.
The gentlemen forming the grand jury then retired to
their room,and in a few minutes after the trials commenced.
William Jackson, dealer, convicted last session with
William Storrs, a groom, for conspiring to defraud, was
brought up for judgment, the sentence having been post-
poned from last session, when his companion received 10
years' penal servitude, in order that certain inquiries might
be made. It was proved that the prisoner had been twice
convicted. On the first occasion he was sentenced to 12
months' imptisonment,and on the second to four years' penal
servitude.

The prisoner, on being asked in the usual form wby sen-
tence should not be passed upon him, said in a whining
tone that he knew he had broken the laws of his country
and ought to be punished, but he implored the mercy of the
Court on account of his wife and children.

The Recorder said he saw no reason why he should not
pass the same sentence as he had on his companion. The
sentenca of the court therefore was that he be kept in penal
servitude for 10 years.
