MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

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, 693 peas, 12 tares, 7,911 linseed, 544 oilseeds, 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 groat 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

tendeney.

There was an increased supply of English barley on
offer, and several parcels of Saale produce were on the
stands, in fine condition. Grinding qualities moved cff
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.

The supply of oats on sale was very large. The trade for
all qualities was in a sluggish state, and prices were 6d to Is
per quarter lower than on Monday last.

The show of beans was very moderate, yet the demand
ruled inactive, at about previous rates.
Peas met a slow sale, on former terms. The show of
samples was much restricted.

Flour changed hands to a limited extent, and both Eng-
lish and foreign qualities changed hands at somewhat re-
duced rates.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.

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, but 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. On 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 ago 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 chili 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 the 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
mouths' imprisonment,and on the second to four years' penal
servitude.

The prisoner, on being asked in the usual form why 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
sentence of the court therefore was that he be kept in penal
servitude for 10 years.

ABSCONDING FROM BANKRUPTCY.
Bernhard Behrenz, blush maker, was indicted under the
new Bankruptcy Act for misdemeanour, he, after being
adjudged a bankrupt, having concealed and disposed of a
part of his property with a view to defraud his creditors.
The defendant had k'pt a brushmaker's shop in Cam-
berwell, and also reported himself as a general dealer in
the habit of attending the faire held in Germany, and upon
these representations he obtained a large quantity of goods
from Messrs. Wilson, warehousemen, and paid various
sums of money from time to time. The defendant was
adjudicated a bankrupt on the 27th of May last, andon that
day he went to a shipping-agent at St. Katherine's
wharf, and represented that he wanted to forward
a number of packages to Cologne by the next
packet by way of Rotterdam, and it was of the utmost
importance that no delay should take place. In a short
time after a large quantity of cocoa nut matting, Dutch
carpeting, &c., &c., was sent to the wharf, and when he
next saw the defendant he said he had disposed of his busi-
ness to his brother, payment for which he had received in
bills of exchange, which he took away with him as well as
a gold chain, a large quantity of silk scarfs, and a number
of trunks and other travelling boxes. The defendant left
England for Cologne, and afterwards he was apprehended
on a warrant by Webb, of the City detective force, and on
their arrival in England the officer discovered the residence
of the defendant, and there he succeeded in recovering a
large quantity of property for the creditors.
The trial was proceeding when we went to press.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

COVENTRY.

The audden death of the Right Hon. Mr. Ellice,
M.P., has occasioned wide-spread grief throughout
the borough of Coventry, which the deeeased gen-
tleman has represented so long and so well. On
Saturday evening it is usual in Coventry for the
bellringers to practice at all the churches where
there are peals of bells. Last Saturday night, how-
ever, for the first time during a long period, the
custom was not observed. Instead of it, time bells,
or knells, sounded dolefully at stated intervals from
every church tower in the city. There can be little
doubt but that the seat which Mr. Ellice'd death
has rendered vacant will• be stoutly contested on
behalf both of the Conservative and the Liberal
interest. At present, however, no indecent haste is
being displayed by either side. The wardsmen—
a section of the electors who usually take
the initiative—are not expected to be called
together until after the funeral of their late re-
spected member. Until they have so assembled no
authoritative invitation will be conveyed to any
gentleman to allow himself to be put in nomination.

Christ's Hospital Speech Day.—This Day,

STATE VISIT OF THE CORPORATION.

To-clay being St. Matthew's Day, the Corporation of the
City of London paid their annual %isit to Christ's Hospital
this morning. They were received by the Rev. Dr. Jacob,
the head master, the Rev. R. South. the Rev. M. Gibbs,
the masters of the various departments in the school. and
the three Grecians who are about leaving for the Univer-
sities. In the first instance the Corporation attended Divine
Service in Christ Church, Newgate-street.
At the close of the service the Corporation and visitors
proceeded to the great hall, which was soon well filled. The
Corporation occupied raised seats at the western end of the
hall, and the orations were delivered from a dais in the
centre.

Mr. J. 11. WYLIE, first Grecian, Classical Medallist,
1863, Scholar of Pembroke College, Oxford, delivered the
English oration in praise of the founder. After some pre-
paratory remarks on the excellence of the institution, he
inquired what name in history was more honoured than

that of the royal founder of that house ? Was there an
Englishman who did not feel a pride at the mention of
Edward VI. It might be that his early and premature
removal from an earthly throne bad spared his reign from
infamy and his name from scandal, but the acts of his short
life were of so distinguishing a colour, and all his way sso
stamped with piety, that surely they did not give him
more than his duo who distinguished him with the name
of " The Good." His name should be graven on the hearts
of each and all of those who ever had experienced the
benefits of his royal hospitals. His memory stood in every
corner of those time-honoured foundations, and in those
monuments of piety he had built up for himself an impe.
rishable name, which no decay, nor time, zor age should
aver take away. From his day until this present hour,
through all the changes of 300 years, the star of that
house had been ever rising—her foundations had become
daily deep-rooted, and her head now towered amongst the
highest glories of the land, because she had dispensed her
blessings, hoping for nothing in return. She saw her sons
at home in every walk of life, mounting in the steps of ster-
ling industry to high and honourable positions—abroad, in
every profession or occupation in which a man could law-
fully engage, she had seen them struggling to approve
themselves good servants to their Queen and country.
(Cheers.) Well might that school be called the boast Of
Englishmen. In the gratuitous education of English youth
she took the lion's share—her interests were guarded by the
representatives of every class (as the armorial bearings on
those walls could well attest), her foundation was benevo-
lence, and her support a strict discharge of duty. He well
knew that there were those who were glad to attack and
ridicule her system, who were "utterly sceptical" as to her
advantages, but against them stood unanswerably the great
practical results that had been effected, and ware being
effected, by her means, and they did but think how different
might have been the case had her management been en-
trusted to less able and less scrupulous hands. It had been
usual on these occasions to enliven the course of the Eng-

lish speech by some marked allusions to the political events
of the past year, but he had purposely avoided all
notice of such topics that day, because he must
confess himself incapable of connecting the Confederate
cause or the insurrection in Poland with the benefits of the
Royal Hospital. Having conveyed the hearty congratu-
lations of the scheol of which the Prince of Wales is a
governor, to the Prince and Princess, Mr. Wylie remarked
that there were two subjects of home interest of which all
would be expecting some mention. This year had seen the
first very spirited attempt to establish among them a pub-
lic competition in English athletic sports; hitherto, how-
ever, no opportunity had occurred of thanking the movers
and promoters of these excellent games, so that he should
best express the feelings of every boy throughout the
school, when he offered their hearty thanks to those gen-
tlemen who originated and supported the athletic games of
1863. Their exertions were indefatigable, their rewards libe-
ral, their decisions impartial, and, as might be expected,
their success was complete. (Cheers.) The orator next
adverted to the sudden death of Mr. Chapman, the French
master, upon whose character he passed a high eulogium.
Mr. J. H. Nrwxum, second Grecian, mathematical me-
dallist, and limes scholar, 1863, scholar of Pembroke Col-
lege, Cambridge, delivered a Latin oration. He remarked
that King Edward had been praised at that commemoration
so assiduously for 300 years, that the ears and minds of the
audience had become wearied from the very excess of praise
lavished on them. He might be allowed, therefore, to dis-
miss King Edward and his good deeds, and to employ the
opportunity of bestowing his thanks upon the gentlemen
before him, who deserved them so well. He then briefly
touched on the loss they had sustained in the death of their
French master, M. Chapman, and turning to Dr. Brette,
his successor, bade him a most cordial and eloquent wel-
come. He briefly noticed what ho termed the spiteful
attack which had been made by Mr. Gladstone on Christ's
Hospital.
Mr. C. G. LOAD, third Grecian, who is proceeding to
Trinity College, Cambridge, delivered the Greek oration.
He expressed his opinion that the praises of King Edward
could never be exhausted. That religious, royal, and
ancient foundation had often been bitterly assailed with the
most malignant invectives, yet had they seen its grandeur
daily increasing, and its system, although maligned, conti-
nually trampling over its antagonists. That sacred foun-
dation, which the fell sword of civil war could not injure,
nor the scourge of pestilence molest, nor the storm of anni-
hilating fire blast, had stood for more than three centuries
—a loving foster mother, ever affording to the homeless an
abiding place and a home. (Cheers.)
The following were also recited : —Greek lambics, trans-
lated from "Richard the Second," by Mr. Lewis Le
Hardy Sharky, Fourth Grecian, Classical Medallist, and
Richard's Medallist 1862; Latin Elegiacs, Translation of
"The Soldiers Dream," by Mr, Arthur Bovell, Eighth
Grecian; Greek Hexameters, translation from " Paradise
Lost," by Mr. Charles Alan Tyffe, Fifth Grecian ; Latin
Hexameters, " Fodinee Carbonarise," Richard's Prize Com-
position, by Mr. George Frederick Warner, Sixth Grecian;
Greek Elegiacs, translation of "The Field of Gilboa," by
Mr. William Ferrer, Seventh Grecian; Latin Alcaics,
translation from "The Lady of the Lake," by Mr, Robert
Harry Hughes, Ninth Grecian ; English Poem, " The
Nile," by Mr. Charles Alan Tyffe, Fifth Grecian.
At the close of the recitations purses were handed round
and collections made for the Grecians, who are proceeding
to the Universities. The National Anthem was then sung
with great heartiness, and the proceedings closed.
