Day.

The supply of English barley was small, and of foreign
but moderate. The demand, however, for all qualities
ruled inactive, at last Monday's currency. Secondary
parcels, however, were in some instances rather drooping
in value.
Malt changed hands to a limited extent, on former
terms.

The supply of oats was less extensive, but more than
equal to the demand, which ruled heavy at fully the late
reduction in prices.
With English beans and peas the market was scantily
supplied, but the show of foreign qualities was moderate.
All descriptions were in slow request at previous rates.
Barrel flour, with which the market was well supplied,
sold heavily on rather easier terms. In the value of some
descriptions no alteration took place, but the inquiry was
much restricted.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
Our market, to-day, was well supplied with foreign
stock, but its general quality was inferior. Hambro sheep
were worth, on the average, about 255. each.

_ .
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably exten-
sive as to number, and the quality of most tolerably prime.
The receipts from Ireland were trifling, and in but middling
condition. Alt breeds moved off heavily, at a decline in the
quotations, compared with Monday last, of fully 2d per
61bs. The best Scots and crosses sold at from 4s 6d to 4,
£3d ; the best short horns, Devons, and Herefords, 48 4d
per Ms, at which a clearance was not effected. The Irish
stock was, unusually heavy, great difficulty being ex-
perienced in effecting sales at any figure.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,000 Scots, crosses, and short horns ; from other
parts of Engnnd, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 680
Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 70 oxen and heifers.
Both as to number and quality, the supply of sheep wa•
good. The demand for all breeds was heavy, at a furthez
di- cline in prices of fully 2d per 81bs. The best Downs and
half bred s in the wool, sold at 5s 10d, out of the wool, 48
10d per 81bs. Prime Lincolns and Leicesters, shorn,
changed hands at 4s 6d to 4s Ms.

Prime lambs were in request, at very full prices, viz.,
75 8d to 8s ; but inferior breeds were dull, and 4 per 8113
lower. About 400 came to hand from the Isle of Wight.
Calves— the supply of which was good—Bold heavily, at
2d per Blbs less money.

We had a dull sale for pigs, and prices had a drooping
tendency.

MARS-LANE.
The country markets held on Saturday were moderately
supplied with wheat, for which the demand ruled inactive,
at previous quotations. Malting barley was rather cheaper,
and other descriptions of spring corn sold heavily, at barely
stationary prime Flour changed hands to a limited ex-
tent, on former terms.
Advices from New York state that wheat, flour, and
maize were in improved request, and that prices had an
upward tendency. On the continent the trade continuos in
an inactive state.
Very moderate supplies of English grain we're received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
were :-20,975 quarters of wheat, 9,404 barley, 14,076 oats,
3 rye, 385 peas, 654 tares, 18,678 linseed, 5,246 rapeseed,
1,402 maize, 140 sac ks, and 32,378 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were very moderate; the condition of the pro-
duce, however, was tolerably good. The demand both for
red and white qualities was in a sluggish state, yet, com-
pared with Monday last, no quotable change took place is
prices. To have pressed sales, we may observe, factors
woald have been compelled to accept a reduotion of fully
Is per quarter.
The market was well supplied with wheat from America,
Dantzic, Alexandria, and Russia, both ex granary and ex
ship. In ell these descriptions a limited business was
transacted, and previous quotations were barely supp )rted.
Floating cargoes of grain sold heavily, at barely stationary
prices.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY BY ♦ CLERlC—William Trotman,
a copying clerk in the ser,si,, of Messrs. Edwards and Co.,
Delahay.street, Westminster, n-as charged wilh
stealing about ,30 worth of jewellery, the property of Mr.
Francis Edwards, one of the firm.
The prisoner was employed in Mr. Edwards's private
room at the offices in Delahay-street, his duty being to copy
letters. In that apartment Mr. Edwards kept a travelling
case, which he had used some weeks ago. The lock re-
quiring to be repaired, he placed the contents in a despatch
box, amongst which were some rings, a gold fuzee box, some
breast pins and other articles of jewellery, also a silver read-
ing lamp. A few days ago on proceeding to replace the ar-
ticles in the travelling case he found they had been removed
from the despatch box. Some information received from
another clerk, directed suspicions against the prisoner, who
had on a former occasion committed a trivial act of dis-
honesty by taking some of his master's cigars. Mr. Edward s
hen communicated with the police, and a search amongst
the neighbouring pawnbrokers' shops was made.
Mr. F. Edwards having deposed to the above facts in
the evidence, said he valued the articles he had missed at
at over £BO, but as he had been frequently travelling from
his country house and his town residence, he could not say
what amount of property he had been robbed of.
Mr. Henry asked the prosecutor whether the prisons
had means of access to the despatch box containing the
valuables.

Mr. Edwards replied in the affirmative. lie also recol-
lected one day leaving his keys on the office table, and on
his return for them he found them hanging from tho lock of
the despatch box.

George Brisk, another clerk in the same office, said he
had seen the prisoner take a cigar from Mr. Edwards's case.
Prisoner—So you have often.
Witness—Yes, and Mr. Edwards knows that.
Prisoner—Did not you have some ?
Witness—Some times you gave me half a one,
Prisoner—But y oupave taken whole ones.

Witness-1 swear I never took a whale one.
Mr. Henry thought the cigars quite immaterial; what the
prisoner had to answer was the charge of taking jewellery
from the despatch box.

Sergeant Russell of the A division said he took the pri-
soner into custody on the 28th of March, at his employer's
office. He told him the charge against him, to which he
replied it would have to be proved. He afterwards went to
pri-oner's lodging, Lut found nothing. The articles pro-
duced, a reading lamp, sit rtuer, a gold fusee-box, and some
rings, all Mr. Edwards's property, he found at different
pawnbrokers. Prisoner afterwards said as certain things
had been found out he did not intend to deny stealing the
others. He said another ring would be found at a pawn-
brokers in the Strand, a pin in York-streEt, and a brandy-
flask at Stratton-ground.

Mr. Henry asked the prisoner what he had to say to the
charge.

Prisoner admitted stealing the artic!es produced, and told
the officer where ho would find a gold pencil case which he
had secreted in Delahay -street offices.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
PICKING POCKETS AT THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION.
—Francis Collins and Mary Medin were charged with
picking pockets at this fashionable place of amusement.
A gentleman named Coalthorp saw the prisoners pursuing
their profession most industriously on Saturday afternoon
in the lobbies, and having satifi,d himself he gave the
female into custody, and then succeeded in capturing the
man in the street with a quAntity of the stolen property in
his possession, Remanded.
