CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.

The 43d session of the Central Criminal Court commenced this
morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Scholey,
Lainson, Sir Chapman Marshall, and Magnay, the Sheriffs, &c.
Mr. WILLIAMS'S TRIAL—At the opening of the Court the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, and the Aldermen present held a private con-
ference with Mr. Clarke, the Clerk of the Arraigns, relative to the ex-
penses attendant upon the late unsuccessful prosecution of Thos. Wil-
liams, Esq., of Brynbrass Castle, for the alleged forgery of a will.
At the termination of that conference,
The RECORDER stated, that as the last sessions was now continued by
adjournment, he wished to observe, that at that session a person of the
name of Williams was tried for forgery and acquitted. For that prose-
cution a bill of expenses had been presented for payment which was
deemed most exorbitant. A conference had been held with the
Learned Judge who tried the case, and the Court had come to
the determination, with the concurrence of that Learned Person, to
reduce the sum demanded for fees to Counsel, the preparing of briefs,
and the attendance of attornies, to 400 guineas, which order was to be
considered final; and the Court considered, even in its reduced form,
that the sum was a very large one. The expenses of subpcenaes and at-
tendance of witnesses were not to be included in this amount. This will
make the expense of the prosecution exceed 7001.
The Grand Jury having been empanelled and sworn,
The RECORDER proceeded to charge them at considerable length.
The Court then proceeded to swear in the Petty Jury.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).
CORN EXCHANGE.
There was a good arrival of Wheat and Flour last week, but of other
articles only moderate quantities. Wheat in the course of the week
was dull in sale, and other Grain maintained former prices. This morn.
lug there has been a good fresh supply of Wheat from Essex, but not
much from other parts; of other descriptions of Corn supplies are mo-
derate. There has been some heaviness in the Wheat trade to-day, yet
the best parcels nearly obtained last week's rates; but other qualities
are Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. Barley remains as last reported. There

is no change in the value of Beans and Pease. There continues a good
country demand for Oats, and this article has firmly maintained last
quoted prices. The Flour trade continues to be somewhat heavy, at
the terms formerly quoted. The weather is again cold for the season.

Barley, 325. to 365.; Grinding ditto, 30c; fine Oats, 245. to 27c;

MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, MAY 12.
The supplies of grain, Sze. from Ireland and the interior are moderate;
but at Wakefield there has been a fair arriral of Wheat. The continued
fine weather has had its influence on the trade, whieh has beers flat dur-
ing the week, with some tendency towards a decline in the value of
mist articles. Holders have, however, evinced considerable firmness ;
and with the exception of Beaus, for which there has been a fair in-
quiry, the business has been very trifling. This disinclination to take
the reduced rates offered by purchasers, existed at both Liverpool and
Wakefield yesterday, and the extent of business done was limited. At
our market of this day, although in some eases rather lower prices would
have been acceded to, especially for Flour, we do not see reason to alter
the quotations of our last.
