MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this moraine.;
market, coastwise and by land carriage, being small, the
show of samples was limited ; nevertheless the demand for
all descriptions ruled very inactive, at barely Monday's
prices.

- We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. The sale
for all kinds was heavy, and in some instances the curren-
cies were a shade easier.
Barley was in fair supply, and sluggish request, at late
rates. No change in malt, the sale of which was heavy.
._ The stpply of foreign oats being upwards of 44,000 qrs.,
the sale for that grain was less active, yet prices were
sup Ported.
In beans and peas very little was doing, on former
terms.
The flour trade was rather inactive.

cross. The discovery was made by a police-officer of' the
G division, who, on passing the premises, perceived fire
issuing from the warehouse at the rear of the premises.
He immediately gave an alarm, and having succeeded in
arousing the inmates, he sent for the engines and escapes,
but in spite of all exertion the work of devastation con«
tinned, and the workshop and drying-rooms were de-
stroyed. Cause unknown. Contents insured in the
Phcenix Fire-office.
FIRE AT Bow.—On Wednesday afternoon a fire oc-
curred on the capacious premises of Messrs. Waterlow
and Co., carpenters and builders at Bow, Middlesex.
Nearly 20 hours elapsed before the fire could be extin-
guished, and the loss of property is estimated at several
thousand pounds, there being 14 lofty piles of deals and
other woods consumed, and two factories, each 75 feet
long and two floors high. Fortunately, the firm wail
insured.

THE DOG-CART NUISANCE. HENLEY-ON-THAMES,
APRIL 20.—At the magistrates' chamber, this day, Mr.
Henry Wilson, of Gillette, presiding, William Smith,
hawker, was charged, at the instance of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, With
having wantonly tortured a dog. From the evidence of
a local police constable, it appeared that the prisoner
was seen on the previous afternoon on the Caversham•
road, near Reading, cruelly beating a dog attached to a
cart in which were three cwt. of old iron. The dog was
in an exhausted state, scarcely able to move, and having
at length sunk under the weight of its load, the pri-
soner kicked the poor .brute with great violence, and
afterwards; attaching it by a ropo to the back of his
cart, dragged it along by main force. When appro.
hended he- offered to drown the dog if the officer would
allow him to escape. The prisoner had nothing to say in
reply to the charge, but began blubbering, and implored
forgiveness. The magistrate considered that anaocnte.
orf
great brutality had been proved against the prisoner.
The dog-cart nuisance had become an intolerable. pest
throughout the country districts, and he was convinced
that the dreadfal malady of hydrophobia Was frequently

on account of

public generally, he felt it his duty to tui.ke an ()ample
