LONDON MARKETS.

r I CORN EXCHANGE, AUG. 22.
The arrivals of Oats last week, both English and Irish, were
again considerable, but of all other descriptions of Grain the
quantities were moderate. This morning there is a tolerable
good fresh supply of Wheat, chiefly new, the quality of which
is not near so good as was expected ; some samples being
very faint and soft. Of Barley and' Pease the quantity
fresh in is small, there are however more Beans at market than
of late, and several mo-...c vessels fresh up with Osts. The trade
for New Wheat is at a reduction of 3s. to 4s. per quarter from
the extreme prices that were made last Monday. Old Wheat
of prime quality fully maintains last quotations, but other sorts
are rather lower. Malting Barley is Is. to 2s. per quarter
higher, but there is no alteration in grinding qualities. Beans
are Is. per quarter lower. Pease fully support last quotations.
Oats of good quality meet buyers readily at the terms of last
Monday, but other sorts are very dull in sale. The Flour
trade remains as last reported.

While public attention seems so much engaged
'by charges brought. before the police-olioes, and
by the spirit in which the Magistrates receive
them; we may take the opportunity of offering a
word or two upon an important, though very
odious and disgusting, branch of the same sub-
ject. Accusations have been, shameful to say,
frequently made at these :offices, against, indi-
viduals for attempts'at an abominable and un-
speakable crime. To such accusations we would
recommend 'the Magistrates to turn an ear pot
only of earnest attention, but of deep suspicion
and distrust. The accusing parties are in tuany,
we believe most, instances, soldiers of the Guards
—a fact of itself not very readily to be account-
ed for. What, is easier than to seize on any soli-
tary individual, threaten him with a charge and
consequent exposure, more terrible to 99 WI
sons out of an hundred than the most painful
death, and then, bOving gone too far to reced!,
and having failed to extort
,money. from the
intended victim, drag
.him before a police-magis,
trate, and trump up a story , that shall commit
him As this is the only stage of the business at
which a Magistrate has it in his power to avert
from an innocent man an imputation, though per-,
haps,but temporary, at which the mind revolts
and sickens, we repeat that it is impossible for
the sitting Justice, who swears the prosecutors,
and manages the preliminary investigation, to be
too suspicious, too keen abil cautious, in ascer.
taitting the truth or falsehood of such witnesses,
before he consigns on their evidence any sett-,
•tient being to gaol, and to the lasting infamy of
a trial. Although reason and humanity both
remind us that crimes are'rare, and therefore im-
probable, in the same proportion in which they
are atrocious, it is an unfortunate fact, that,
many people are disposed to credit a tale of
slander, not merely in spite of the blackness
of the imputed guilt, but because of it ; and
that, instead of yielding their assent to evidence •
with a degree of willingness which shall be in-
versely as the magnitude of the offence, the most
horrible calumny is too often that which they.ex•
hibit the greatest readiness to swallow. A misc..
rable man brought to a police-office on .a charge
of the above nature, if not a person of unassail-
able nerves, must be thrown into a depth of con-,
sternation, totally destructive of the use of his
facolties ; and would answer questions, apd
mean himself generally, with an awkwardness
and confusion which to heedless or unfeeling
spectators might indicate a consciousness of
guilt. If such a man be sent to. trial, he
is ruined irretrievably : no subsequent acquittal
can wholly purify or redeem him-the record
of the charge and of the prosecution remains,
and he languishes to the last hour of his
,exist,
ence "the man who was tried for offences not to ,
be named." • The ignorant part of the world
never think of asking how feebly the charge was
supported, or how triumphant were the grounds
of the acquittal. Let 'the Police Justices theta
take these arguments into consideration, and re- .
collect, how irrecoverable is the ignominy to
which they sentence, a fellow creature, by only
sending him to trial on' half-sifted evidence, acrd.
on accusations such as we have described.

[NEW TIMES.]
In one of old Jeremy Bentham's strange works
he thinks proper to inform us that Laid Co..-
chrane had the greatest claim possible to the af-
fection of the English aristocracy, in consequence
of his having derived his property from the tsyo
most glorious sources—blood and
,plunder. No
one we should imagine, will take old Bentham's
opinion as to the feelings which actuate our Eng_
lish aristocracy, and therefore we may suffer that,
part of his speculation to pass unnoticed ; but as he
isa friend of Lord Cochrane, and in the very see, •
tence in which this passage occurs was busily
panegyrizing him as a most suitable Represent-
ative for Westminster,. we may safely take his
word as to•the origin of his Lordship's wealth.
Whether the sage alluded, in his derivation of its
sources, to any specific scene at home or abroad we
do not pretend to divine. At all events we should
think that Mr. Bentham (who is a member of the
Greek Committee) must, in consequence of his .
knoWledge of Lord C.'spenchanrs, have acorn
mended his Lordship as a man in these particu,
tars qualified for embarking in the cause of
Greece. We must add, he is in many other respects
qualified, combining the advantages of other pa..
Irons of the same cause. Poor Leicester Stanhope .
went out with his head full 'of the gimcracks of
legislation which are so admirably adapted for
the prea6nt state and civilization of the Ilellenes;
but then the Colonel was no great soldier,
Trelawney was ready ellough to fight, but he
turned Turk. Mr. Bow ring is good only in the
financial department, as managed at Cornhill.
Blaquiere, good in many useful particulars, is not
generally employed about the' finances. Now'
here is Lord Cochrane—they have the legislator
who actually represented the enlightened and
liberal freeholders of Westminster—the warrior -• _
who has brought home the finances with him,
and who knows very well how to manage
them, and also, the steady partizan, who is •
not in the slightest (Imager of abandoning the
cause; for every body who knows his Lord-
ship must do him the justice of confessing
that he is a Greek—a real Eastern Greek—in
the very bottom of his heart. In short he is the
quintessence of Stanhope, Blaquiere, Be w ring,
and Trelawney himself, with this very useful
addition, that he knows his business us a sea-
man. How he resembles another distinguished
Philhellene—Lord Byron—might be Lard to con,
jecture, did we not recollect that; like his Lord,
ship, " he was bred a moderate Presbyterian:"
In the meanwhile we should be not a little sur-
prised, if on going on this pilgrimage to the East,
in the cause of Christianity, he forgot his scrip.
It would not be, like the conduct of this painter
from beyond the sea. We hear in the City that
the Greek Funds are rising, io consvquence of
the report that Lord Cochrane is going to depose
the Turkish Emperor; and clie:+ot for the We of
us forget that a report of the deposition of

Vreuch Emperor led to another rise of certain
/ands some eleven or twelve years ago, as perhaps
lord Cochrane can remember.

[MORNING POST.]
Paris Papers to the 20th instant, and the
Erode OUSaturday, 'arrived last night by ex-
press. They, have ',brought intelligence from
Madrid to the gth, 'Which positively states that"
a new Frehch'force is going to enter Spain. Its
amount it computed at eight thousand men, who
are to be' disposed of in the following manner.
7-ivo thousand are to occupy the Basque, Pro-
vinceS; 'which' have lately refused to receive the
‘COmthariders sent down from Madrid._
~'our thousand are to be stationed in Arragon,
3 ad. the last two thousand in the capital it-
self. The Government, .it is said, intended
to cause the Trappist to be removed from
Linder the protection of the Clergy to the
prisons of Madrid, and to make him take his
trial before the 'ciVil tribunals. This, which
'would show a character of sound decisicin and
-vigour hitherto absent frorri Ferdinand's councils,
is represented 'as being the more probable as the
rappist was a lay-brother, and not a regular
monk; and 'had been arrested as a disturber of
the public 'peace. On that ground, it was
thought that 'he might be easily taken out of
the hands of ecClesiastical justice or rather com-
plicitS, Which had *Seized, in order to shield
him at Parnpelufia, and placed 'at the, disposal
of the Civil Authority. There is no doubt,
ttowever, that -denunciations of vengeance will
rise from every Convent and Chapter in
Spain, if this just and decisive step be attempt-
ed, and that appeals 'will be made to the su-:
premacy of the Pope, which, we trust, will be
disregarded. The system of reform. and re-
duction, longin contemplation with respect to
the salaries of public officers, is at last beginning
to be carried into.effect. The first whose allow-
ances have been curtailed are the Spanish Ali-
-nisters at Foreign Courts. Not less than
21,500 francs are said to have been retrench-
ed from the sum alloWed to the Spanish Em-
bassy at the French Court, although it, is
justly considered as' one of the most important.
The Military COmmission 'sitting at Grenada
lately sentenced two .individuals to the galleys
for ten yearS because
,',they had cried—" Live
the Constitution!" Poi some., days, Madrid had
been visited by a rain of grasshoppers, thick
clouds of whitih obstructed the streets. Happily
the harvest had been gatheredin about the capi-
tal, and in the districts towards which that de-
structivescourge seemed to take its course.
