LEEDS CORN MARKET.—Jut. 5.
To this day's market there Las been a fair supply of
Barley, but that of Wheat and other kinds of Grain has
been small. The best qualities of New and Old Wheat
have supported the price of last week, but other descrip-
tions of New and Old have been dull, and in hunted de-
mand. The best heavy Malting Barley has not varied
in price, but for other descriptions the demand has been
limited. No alteration c.tn be noted in the price of Oats.
Shelling 6d. to Is. per load lower. Good Old and dry
New Beans have been sold on about the same terms as
last week, but the inferior Old and damp New ones have
been very dull. In Pease not any alteration. Flour,
Malt, and Rapeseed have not varied in price. The river
below Leeds, and the canal above, are now so that vessels
can pass.

(From a Correspoudent of the Times.)
The Commission appointed to inquire into the
state of the Ecclesiastical Law, is understood to
consist of the Archbishop of Canterbury,the Bishop
of London, the Bishop of Lincoln, the Bishop of
Gloucester, the Bishop of Exeter, Lord Wynford,
Sir John Nichol], Dr. Luahington, Lord Stowell's
name was, we believe, originally inserted, but from
his age and infirmities he probably will not attend.
The object of this Commission is believed to be
limited. As the law now stands, the Ecclesias-
tical Courts have power over personal property,
wholly at variance with our present advanced and
complicated state of society. When these laws
were made, little respect was paid to personal
property, which, indeed, in the feudal times, could
hardly be said to have existence, and hence
the civil courts had not jurisdiction over it. A
reform in this matter the Commission are to hold in
view; also to suggest the means of punishing neg-
lect of duty, and delinquencies on the part of the
clergy, in their clerical character. Some alarm is
felt, lest, under this head, the Bishops should endea-
vow- to (-slitp an pi- ,:trary pctie7 over the
clergy, which, under the pretence of pruvu.ting
crimes against the church, might become a source of
the most odious tyranny,
No alteration ir. the liturgy is contemplated, nor
I any investigation Into the abuses complained of in
the unequal distribution of thcwealtli un4 enormous
revenue of the church. No correction of this coil
is within the scope of the powers given to the
Commission.

TIIE SPLENDID BRADWELL OX.

There is now exhibiting ender this name, at the
Horse Bazasr, Portman-square, an immense ox
weighing between 4,000 and 5,000 pounds, 17 hands
high, .and nearly 11 feet in length. And this is
called the greatest curiosity of the kind ever exhi-
bited in the metropolis. Perhaps it is; but in the
name of reason, what is .the object of making a mast
useful animal perfectly useless, by encouraging this
wholesome,excessivearidunnatural
_
ti growth ? The flesh cannot
-Waite of food in produeing
it is obviously culpable. When nature produces im-
mense quadrupeds like the elephant, we are struck
with wonder at the perfection of her stupendous
work, the strength suited to the proportions, and
the noble uses " even in camps and courts," tg
which such animas can be applied. But when
" nature's journeyman" sets to.work and produced
instead of strength and majesty,is a huge mass of de-
formity, disgust the sensation produced in a well-
regulated mind, by such a persevering attention to
show how time and food can be misapplied to create
a spectacle for a tribe of Smithfield graziers. It is
time that this practice of cramming poor animals
until they are suffoceted by repletion had ceased ; :it
has been abandoned by the older and better members
of the Smithfield Club. The agriculturist who can
economize in food, whocan bring sterile land cheaply
into tillage, who can practically add to the produce
tive powers of the soil, is a useful member of the
community; but vviv: benefit accrues (unless the
mere sensual gaping of a crowd be one) by over-
feeding cattle in till. manner, making them appa-
rently wretched to theniselyes.,,and worse; I..;!riuse..
.to the consurlio It is a silly fashion, and
has lasted beyond its day. This unhappy ox cer-
tainly looks better than his fellows, who sometimes
pass as prodigies at some of the annual Smithfield
exhibitions, because his frame appears to have been
naturally of large proportions, and therefore the de-
formity produced by his incessant feeding does not
look so repulsive ; nevertheless, his fore-legs totter
under him, and lie furnishes no exception to the just
objection to this expensive and absurd practice.—

THE SIAMESE TWINS.

We are indebted to a correspondent for the fol-
lowing parallel in the case of the Siamese youths.
Both the extracts, it is evident, refer to the same
instance :
(From Lindsay of Pitscottie's History of Scotland
—reign of James IV.)
' _,

" In this mean time there was a great marve,
seen in Scotland. A bairn was born reckoned to
be a man child ; but from the waist up, was two
fair persons, with all members and portraitures per-
taining to two bodies,—to wit, two heads, well
eyed, well eared, and well handed. The two bodies
the one's back was fast to the other's; but from the
waist down, they were but one personage, and
could not know, by the ingiue of man, from which
of the two bodies the legs and privy members pro-
ceeded. Notwithstanding the King's Majesty
caused take great care and diligence upon the up-
bringing of thir (these) two bodies in one person-
age, caused nourish them, and learn them to sing
and play upon instruments of music; who, within
a short time, became very ingenious and cunning
in the art of music, whereby they could play and
sing two parts, the one the treble, and the other the
tenor, which was very duke and melodious to hear,
The common people, who treated them also, won-
dered that they could speak diverse and sundry lan-
guages—that is to say, Latin, French, Italian,
Spanish, Dutch, Danish, English, and Irish. Their
two bodies long continued to the age of 28 years,
and the one departed long before the other, which
was dolorous and heavy to the other, for which
many required of the other to be merry. Ile an-
swered, How can Ibe merry, that have my true
marrow [compan'oa] as a dead carrion about my
back, which was wont to sing and play with me ?
When I was sad he would give me comfort, and I
would do the like to him. But now I have nothing
but dolour of the bearing so_heavy a burden, dead,
cold, and unsavoury, on my back, which taketh all
earthy pleasure from me in this present life. There-
fore I pray to Almighty God to deliver me out of
this present life, that we may be laid and dissolved
in the earth wherefrom we came.' "
(From Johnstone's Thaumatagrraphia Naturalia.)

" In Scotia autem alter inferiore parte maris
