MARKET N kdWz —(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

During last week, the arrivals of all articles of home
produce for our market were on a very limited scale, and
of middling quality. By land carriage, scarcely any
samples of grain reached us; but the fresh supply of
Flour was good. From Ireland and Scotland, only about
4,000 quarters of Oats came to hand, and, as we antici-
pated on Monday last, there was a considerable falling
off in the imports from abroad, which consisted of 6,740
quarters of Wheat, 2,593 ditto of Barley, 600 ditto of
Oats, 2,235 ditto of Rye, 741 ditto of Beans, 624 ditto of
Peas, 29 ditto of Tares, 222 ditto of Linseed, 142 ditto
of Rapeseed, 44 ditto of sundry other seeds, 3.383
sacl-s and 829 barrels of Flcur—the former
chiefly from France, the latter from the United States.
From Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c., the receipts of
Wheat fresh up this morning were again small. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, and the various other counties, scarcely
any Wheat reached us. As very few parcels remained
unsold at the close or business on Friday, the show of
samples today was trifling in the extreme. The attend-
ance of buyers was not large, and nearly the whole of the
English Wheat samples were disposed of at prices quite
equal to those obtain, d on this day week, and at which
the market closed firmly. The question of the total
repeal of the corn-laws formed the topic of more than
unusual discussion amongst the farmers and others to-day.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign Wheat free of duty. Selected qualities of
both red and white were taken by the millers to a fair
extent at full rates of currency. In the middling and
inferior kinds only a limited business was doing, yet
prices were Mostly supported. The value of bonded
Wheats was nearly on a par with free qua-
lities. The sales were far from extensive, yet the
holders generally were firm, notwithstanding the
stock in London and at the outports is large.
Making Barley was in good request, at full prices.
There was rather more doing in grinding and distilling
parcels, at extreme currencies. The Malt trade was in
a rery sluggish state. In the quotations, however, we
have no actual decline to notice. The quantity on offer
was again small. The best feed and potato Oats were
quite as dear. Damp parcels of Irish were very dull.
Beans and Peas commanded very little attention, at the
late decline in value. In Indian Corn and Meal, next
to nothing was doing. Flour moved •off slowly, at un-
altered quotations.

At the northern ourports very few imports have taken
place. and none of consequence are rxpected for some
time hence. Very few foreign Boasts or Sheep were on
oiler in to-day's market, and their general quality was
inferior. The demand for theta was steady, at fully last
week's quotations. Calves sold briskly at high prices.
From our various grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts
fresh up this morning were limited, even the time of
year considered; but there was a great improvement in
their general quality and condition. The weather being
more favourable for slaughtering, and the attendance of
both town and country buyers on the increase, the beef
trade was firm at, in must transactions, an advance in
the prices of Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The primest
Scots sold without difficulty at from 4s to 4s 2d Fee 81bs,
and a good clearance was effected. The droves from
the Nerth consisted of about 900 short horns ; from
Norfolk, Suffolk, ESECX, and Cambridgeshire, 1,000
Scots and short-horns; from other parts of England, 750
Herefords, runts, Doyens, &c.; and from Scotland, 192
horned and polled Scots. There was a further decrease
in the numbers of- Sheep, and a great scarcity of really
prime Downs and half. breds was noticed. For all breeds
of Sheep the demand was very firm, and the extreme
prices of last week were realised in every instance, the
best Downs readily producing 4s 10J per Sibs. Prior to
the close of the market nearly the whole of the Sheep
had been disposed of. Although the supply of Calves
was tolerably extensive, the veal trade was brisk, at a
rise in value of quite G,l per 81bs. Prime small Calves
sold at from 5s to 5s 4d per Sibs. Prime small Pigs
moved off freely, at full prices. Otherwise the pork
trade was heavy.

NEIVIGATM AND LEAMENIIALL.

Very large supplies of Scotch and country-killed meat
have been received up to our mark, is since Monday
last, viz. 420 carcasses of Beef; 1,800 ditto of Mutton;
600 ditto of Vial; and 6,400 ditto of York. With meat
slaughtered in the metropolis we have been but mode-
rately supplied. Veal was sold freely, at an advance in
the quotations of quite 4rl per :81bs. All other kinds of
meat have met a very dull inquiry, at Larely stationary
prices, at which clearances have not been effected.
About 600 carcasses of foreign meat have appeared on
sale.

The Loup CHANcimr,oiri pve judgment in this case,
reversing the ek:Csion of the Vice-Chancellor Knight
Bruce, with costs.
THE ROYAL ETCHINGS.
PRINCE ALEERT V. STRANGE.

The SOLICITOR-bENERAL addressed the Court on the
part of Prince Albert, in support of the jud4ruent of
Vice-Chancelicr Knight Bruce. He contended that the
publication of the etchings was a wanton violation of the
rights of property, inasmuch as the mere possession of
the copy a plating or engraving, the original of
which belonged to another, (IA not entitle the person so
having possession of it to publish it to the world.
The argumeas it is expected will yet occupy two or
three days.

QUEEN'S BEN CH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
THE QUEEN C. HUDSON.
This action was brought by ‘Vi!liani Cobbett against
the Keeper of the Queen's Bench prison, for an alleged
false return to a writ of habeas corpus. The particu-
lars of the case having been so repeatedly Lefure the
Courti, are already familiar to the public. The plain-
tiff demurred to the plea of the defendant upon several
grounds, and the decision of the Court was deerred.
Lord DENMAN now stated that their Lordships were
of opinion that the defendant was entitled to the judg-
ment of the Court.
Judgment accordingly for the defendant.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
THE CHOLERA AT TOOTING.
THE QUEEN V. DROUET.
Mr. LUSH said, it would no doubt be in the recollec-
tion of the Court that his Learned Friend Mr. Ballan-
tine, a sew days ago, obtained a certiorari calling upon
Mr. Wakley, the Coroner for Middlesex, to bring up the
depositions taken in this case, in order that the de-
fendant might be admitted to bail, and he was instructed
by the Coroner, who acted upon public grounds alone,
and had no personal feeling in the matter, to object to
the course ot proceeding. The Coroner's jury, at ter full
deliberation, had found a verdict of manslaughter
against the defendant in respect of the deaths of four chil-
dren out of a large number, and a warrant was issued for
defendant's arrest immediately after the finding of the
jury, but defendant had concealed himself from the
officers, who up to this moment had been unable to take
him. I❑ the meantime the defendant came to the Court
to ask whether his Lordship would let him out on bail,
so that in the event of that application being refused he
might have the chance of escaping altogether from the
coast quences of this prosecution, and in that state of
things the Learned Counsel was instructed to move the
Court to quash the writ of certiorari, or to hear him in
the first instance against the rule to hold to bail. The
Court would perceive that it was important for the public
that this matter should be dealt with cautiously; for if the
bail were refused, the defendant not being in custody,
tin re was no security that he would ever be tried at all.
Mr. Justice ERLE said, sitting alone, it was quite clear
that it was his duty to abide by the established practice
of the Court, and he felt that he would not be justified
in altering a practice which had long been established.
Before the full Court Mr. Ballantine had made
a motion which had been established by a
series of precedents, and, therefore; he was entitled to
his certiorari to bring up the depositions, in order that
the Court might see if it were a fit case to hold the de-
fendant to bail. If it was a rule nisi would be granted,
requiring the Coroner to show cause why he should not
he admitted to bail upon his surrenderinc, to the war-
rant, and berme the rule could be argued the defendant
must have surrendered.
Mr. LUSH, after this intimation, would not press his
motion.
Mr. BALLANTINE must ask then whether Mr. Wakley
produced the depositions ?
Mr. LUSH was not instructed upon that point, but no
doubt they would be returned.
Mr. BALLANTINE reminded the Court that the writ
was made returnable peremptorily on Saturday,
and if any of the Coroner's clerks were present with the
depositions they ought at once to be produced, to enable
him to make an application connected with the liberty of
the subject.
Mr. Lusat said there was no objection to make the
return, but no one was present with the depositions.
Mr. BALLANTINE said they ought to have been there
to a ait the result of his Learned Fliend'a motion.
Mr. Justice ERLE remarked, that by law a writ of at-
tachment might is,ue against a party who disobeyed the
order of the Court upon the motion of the party ag-
grieved by the default.
Mr. BALLANTINE replied that the case presented
features of a somewhat unusual character, which might
induce the Court to act in the matter without the de-
positions.
Mr. Justice ERLE said he would not depart from the
established practice in matters of this kind.
Mr. BALLANTINE must move then for an attachment
against Mr. Wakley, and he moved upon the facts
within the knowledge of the Court.
Mr. Justice ERLE suggested to the Learned Counsel
that he had better consider awhile before he made this
motion. It was indispensable that the writ should
have been personally served before it could be granted,
and the rights of the defendant could only be enforced
according to law.
Mr. BALLANTINE said the writ had not been per-
sonally served, and he could not therefore press his mo-
tion fur an attachment.

CRIMINAL CO URT.-( THIS DAY.

OLD COURI'.

The second sessions of the present year were opened
this morning at the 0:d Bailey, before the Lord Mayor,
the _Record, r, Aldermen Farebrother and Challis, and
Sheriff Goodhart.

The grand jury having been sworn, and taken their
:eats in the box,

The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge. The
catnt?ar, he said, contained a list of 171 prisoners, which
number was not larger, he was bound to observe, than
the period that had elapsed since the last session would
account for. The number was rather below than above
the average, which was a very pleasing circumstance, since
the present was a season 01 great distress, from which
they might naturally anticipate an increase of ciiine. A
great proportion of the offences specified in the calen-
dar were simple larceny, stealing from dwelling-
houses, housebreaking, larceny from the person, arid
larceny committed by persons in the capacity of servants.
There were 13 cases of housebreaking, 66 of ordinary
larceny—from dwelling houses 24, 14 casts of stealing
from the person, and 23 committed by persons in the
capacity of servants, making a total of 122 cases of this
kind out of the entire number of 171. There
were seven cases of cutting and wounding, some
of a slight character, and others bearing evidence
of having originated in wilful malice. Having
ref( rred to cases of outrage upon young females,
the Learned Recorder proceeded to call attention to
the number of prisoners who bad passed through New-
gate in the course of last year. On the 18th of July,
1848, there were 151 males and 25 females within the
walls of New-gate, or a total of 180; between the Ist o!
January and the 31st of December last, 3,057 were com-
mitted to Newgate for trial, making a total during the
year of 3,237; of whom 396 here under 17 years of
age—namely, 261 males and 35 females, and above
that age, 2,219 males and 542 females. 377 out of this
number had been formerly in Newgate. How--
ever, as far as his memory served him,
the proportion was less than on former occasions,
which would lead to an inference, a well-grounded one,
he hoped, that the amount of crime was on the decrease.
The Learned Recorder then explained that the reason
he did not allude to a case which had attracted much of
the attention of the public, namely, Mr. Drouet's case,
was in consequence of the depositions not being in his
possession, the defendant not being in custody, and re-
mitted the jury to their duties.

MA RLBRO'-ST REET- (THIS DAY.)
Elicit Connor, a middle-aged woman, with a child in
her arms, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham,
charged on suspicion of having stolen a leathern reticule
from the carriage of Mrs. Kitchener, a lady residing at
W ton-place.

Mr. Matthew Henry Angle, 46, Castle-street, Oxford-
street, stated that on Thursday evening last he was
standing at the corner of Neuman-street, when he ob-
served the prisoner go up t.) three carriages which
were standing opposite Ilippon and Burton's, and look
into their interiors. She then walked past twice, and
on her retu► fling the last time she stood and looked at the
coachman who was on the box of one of the carriages.
Witness then saw her go round to the other side
of the carriage, and put her hand through the window.
Witness then went up to her, and saw that she had
taken the leathern reticule produced from the interior of
the vehicle. He immediately seized her with the pro-
perty in her possession, and gave her in charge.
Barnes, 130 E, proved receiving charge of the priso-
ner and the reticule produced. The prisoner denied
having robbed the carriage.
The prosecutrix's footman having identified the pro-
perty,
The prisoner said she was innocent of the charge, and
the witnesses had mistaken her for another woman.
Mr. BINGHAM committed her for a month for unlaw-
ful possession.

BARRISTERS AT LAW, MIDDLE TEMPLE.—The
undermentioned gentlemen, called to the degree of the
Utter Bar on Friday, were published in the Middle Tem-
ple Hall, on Saturday : Reginald Fowler, Esq.; George
Pearson Wilkinson, E•q , B A., Durham University;

mund Day, Esq.. b'.A., London University; Charles
Edward Hawkins, Esq.; and Francis Halhed, Esq.
DEATH OF LADY JULIANA 110 WARD.--This vene-
rable lady, who had attained the extreme ago of ninety-
nine years, died on the 22d instant, at her town resi-
dence. The deceased lady was youngest daughter of
rienry, lourth Earl of Carlisle, great aunt of the present
Earl by his second marriage with Isabella, daughter of
the fourth Lord Byron, and sister of the celebrated
Admiral John Byron, father of the poet.
REPRESENTATION OF BRIDGWATER.—Mr. Ke-
meys Tynte states that he has 1;o intention of resigning
his seat for Bridgwater, which had been currently re-
ported. Mr. Bruadwood is the other M.P., and it is
probable he contemplates resignation.—Exeter Gazette.
PLOUGHING MATCH.—A ploughing match came off
on Tuesday last in a field on the farm of Mr. David Rees
Parry, Llwyndwyfilltir, before a vest concourse of spec
tors. At the appointed hour 21 showed, and upon the
signal being given they went to work in first-rate style.
The judge awarded the premiums as follows:-1st, to
Mr. Richard Jones; 2d, to Thomas Protheroe; 3d, to
Daniel Davies. One of the horses that drew the first
plough is 16 years old, and has been engaged in 15
ploughing 'notches, of which he hll5 won 14 prizes.

ITHE STREET ORDENLIES.
TO THE EDITOR OF TEE, SUN.
Sin,—Your kindness in noticing in your valuable
columns the operations of tie poor men employed by
the National Philanthropic Association, as " street
order;ies," in cleansing the streets and improving the
health of the different localities in which they are
employed, call forth my best thanks. lam happy to
say this improved system his met with the cordial
approval of the inhabitants of the surrounding
patishcs. In proof of which, requisitions have been
signed by 325 of the rate-payers of the parish of
St. Paul, Covent garden ; TOO in the parish
of St. James's; 'TOO in the parish of St. Martin-
in•the-Fields ; and upwards of 200 in Regent-
street, Whitehall, &c., those streets being under
the control of the Commissioners of 'Woods and
Forests. The licensed, victuallers of the metropolis
have, for some time past, co-operated with the asso-
ciation, in order to extend the system to parishes,
and that a priority of right to such employment be
given to those parishioners who, through misfortune,
have become chargeable to the parish thereby
affording an opportunity for them to come forth and
earn their bread by their own industry, instead of
being pent up in unions, a burden to the
parish and themselves also. The committee of
licensed victuallers have commenced a series of
meetings in different districts, with a view of gene-
rally adopting the system, those already held in the
Haymarket and Soho having proved decidedly suc-
cessful. The licensed victuallers have taken the
matter in hand, much to their credit as a benevolent
body, and, within a short time, a liberal sum has
been obtained through the medium of penny sub-
scription boaces being placed in their parlours. A
meeting has been announced for each evening
this week, and from the ready manner in which the
press have advocated the cause of the poor the
energies of the committee are the more strengthened,
and the charitable object they have in view must in
a great measure depend on the liberality of those
gentlemen who would kindly publish an account of
their labours in behalf of the poor. Should you, Sir,
be pleased to insert this letter in your valuable paper,
you will confer a favour on
Sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN SMART, Acting Secretary.
Central Committee Room, 127, Fetter-lane,
Jan. 29, 1849.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN:
SlR,—Observing a paragraph in your paper of the
25th instant, stating that the works at the Plymouth
Great Western Docks had been stopped, in conse-
quence of the want of funds on the part of the com-
pany, I hasten to inform you that such statement is
without foundation, and that the whole of the contract
work has been paid for.
I shall feel obliged by your insertion of this letter,
and remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
E. FILDER, Secretary.

TIIB MORMON IMPOSTURE IN WALES.—On De-
cember 31 and New Year's Day, the "Latter Day
Saints" held their half-yearly association in the hall of
the White Lion, Merthyr. It was soon found that the
hall, then containing 1.500 persons, was inadequate for
many who were outside seeking for admission ; officers
were therefore sent to meet those who were not able to
get in at the Alfred's Arms Hall, George Town. The
platform contained from 60 to 100 " officers." The
chair was taken by " Captain Dan Jones," when the
following particulars relative to the society in \Vales
were stated :-10 conferences ; baptized during the last
six months, 1,001 ; total baptized in the year, 1,932
(very few excluded) ; 73 branches, 156 elders, 180
prie,ts, 147 teachers, 67 deacons—in all, 558 officers.
The Swansea Herald, which reports the meeting, adds—
" The thousands of Mormons in Wales appear to have
great affection for, and confidence in, Captain Dan Jones,
who intends returning in February to the valley of the
Salt Lake in California. About 350 saints intend emi-
grating with him. It appears that 300 large ships could
scarcely carry the hosts of saints who are now anxiously
desiring to emigrate from the island to (as they say
their future home.'
POACHING By STEAM. Yesterday week, as the
midday train from Br chin was passing through the
estate of Sir James Carnegie, Bart., a pheasant flying
across the line was struck by the funnel of the engine
and instantly killed. The bird fell between the rails,
when the train passed over it without so much as ruffling
any of its gaudy plumage.—Dundee Courier.
RECRUITING
PARTIES.The whole of the Infantry
Recruiting parties in London have been ordered to re-
join their respective Depots and Regiments, with the
exception of the Rifle Brigade. Recruiting for the
Cavalry is to continue. This measure is supposed to be
preparatory to some reduction ill the strength of the
Liue,-•Unitcd ,Scrcice ca,zette.

DENMARK.

In one of the late sittings of the Danish Diet, the
provisional discussion of financial affairs being on the
order of the day, the Minister of Finance declared
that the King was ready himself to reduce his civil
list, in consequence of the state of the treasury ; the
Minister, therefore, had to propose to have the propo•
sition withdrawn. He added that he did not think
it necessary to decree a forced loan as hrd been ru-
moured. In the sitting of the same Diet on the 17th,
the Ministry was authorised to contract a loan of
seven millions of thalers, and to issue four millions of
new notes.
