MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to
ammarket, this morning, was small; but we had a
largo number of Monday's unsold samples on offer. Really
'l?4, parcels moved off slowly, at previous rates; but the
middling and inferior kinds were somewhat lower to
purchase. The top price of the best White Essex new
Wheat was 51s per quarter. The imports of foreign
cheat have been confined to 2,390 quarters. For that
article, the demand was in a very depressed state, and
llonday's
.
quotations were with difficulty supported.
Scarcely any English Barley was on sale; but the quan-
titY of Foreign was tolerably good. All kinds met a
veryslow inquiry, at barely stationary prices. In Malt,
aolittle was doing that the currencies were almost n0n114611.
n114611. The inquiry for Oats was mostly confined to
retailr parcels, at previous quotations. Beans, Peas,
Indian Corn, and Flour were excessively dull.

SUPPOSED APPREHENSION OF

MANNING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

believe that Manning is apprehended. The
police at Landils took up a man who answered to the
description given of him in the Hue and Cry. I
atoPped at the White Hart, Taunton, twice whilst
tanning kept it. I saw this man, and I firmly
believe that it is Manning. I could not swear to him.

Yours respectfully,

METROPOLITAN COURT OF
SEWERS.—(THIS DAY.)
At half-past ten o'clock this morning an adjourned
11,Pecial Court of Sewers was held at the Court House,
aareek-street, Soho, when the following Commissioners
Lere present:—The Rev. Mr. Stone (in the chair), G.
lie, J. Buller, C. W. Johnston, A. Bane, Rev. John
hurray, M.A. E. Chadwick, Thomas Hawes, J. Bedwell,
J. Esq.
The SECRETARY having read the requisition calling
Vie former Court,
Mr. BoLnen stated that he had received a nom-
Inunication from Sir J. Burgoyne, in which that
:gentleman stated that he thought it injudicious
4.° mix up with the business of the Commission any per-
'nual altercations which might have arisen amongst the
4nerabers; and as, in the requisition calling the Court,
;personal allusions of an unpleasant nature were made to
zir. Chadwick, he (Sir John Burgoyne) suggested that
`the Court should not entertain the subject contained in
the requisition, but that a fresh Court should be called
Ito inquire into the expense of flushing without reference
t 0 individuals, and he therefore would propose a reso-
Ilution to that effect.
Mr. LESLIE objected to the resolution, and stated, to
%y the least of it, that it was not very good taste on the
Vert of Sir John Burgoyne, an absent member of the
Commission, to dictate the course which the members
?present should pursue. The Court had been sum-
oned for a specific purpose—that purpose being to
considerut the expenses of removing the soil by means of
hill& under the new Commission, as compared with
r nat under the old Westminster Commission, and he was
prepared at once to discuss the whole subject.
Teo consideration on lisrux observed that the Court was called to take
deration the expenses of flushing, but before
mat could be done he thought that the returns of the ex-
trees which both of the Commissions cost ought to be
I.ett,-i,le hands of every member. They had not these
Orns, and he would therefore suggest that the returns
rdered, and that the matter be discussed at a future
eeting of the Court.
csiafter some discussion, the resolution was agreed to.
HultE then proposed a resolution to the effect
the
officers of the Commission be requested to make
rru of the relative expenses of the two systems, to
forwarded to each member of the Commission.
,6,3841,r- LESLIE said he had sufficient returns in his pos
iiirs'un to enable him to proceed at once. Mr. Hume,
:pert Bedwell, Mr. Byng, and himself, represented pro-
-1,43' to the amount of two millions and a quarter that
14, annually rated, and it was their duty to protect the
tax,'PaYers. He was ready, and could prove, that the
,A tenses under the present Commission, as compared
ate,rgettlat of. the late, were most extravagant; that the
424 th.tucamatee had been, and were, spending the money
1,- rate-persgrossly extravagant manner.
rt ev • C ayHAIRMAN rose to order.
t r• LESLIE said there was no objection to his beingp
hard but when he attempted to return the blow, he
as called to order.
1).44 MEMBER observed that not a shilling of the rate-
e
ra' money was expended without the accounts going
ced„i?r the scrutiny of the finance committee.
Chnlr. LESLIE would call the attention of the Court to
o expenditure of 7571. on behalf of the Sewers Manure
,(ell?Pa nY, the return of which would only be 15s.—
es of " No, no.")
I,re_re Mr. JOHNSON rose and said such was not the fact.
• Hume and other members suggested that the
uej_ect had better be dropped.
„,..411r. LESLIE was surprised that Mr. Johnson should
each an assertion. The money had been grossly
""u improperly expended.
After a long and angry discussion of a personal nature,
the resolution of Mr. Hume was adopted, and the Court
adjourned.
