MARKET NEWS.-(TIIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE— ,URIDA Y.
An extremely small supply of Erhiglish Wheat has
been received up to our market coas.:twise during the
present week, it having amounted to atily 960 quarters,
mostly from Essex and Kent. By l wad carriage, the
receipts fresh up to-day were trilling, and of very
middling quality. The attendance of,buyers were small,
and the demand for all kinds of Wheat, of home produce
was heavy, at almost nominal currencies '.. Not less than
31,440 quarters of Foreign Wheat haw() come in this
week. This large arrival had a depressing influence
upon the demand, yet the few sales effected were at
about Monday's prices. Owing to the large supply of
Foreign Barley on offer, the sale for that article
was extremely heavy, and the inferiior parcels might
have been purchased on lower ternm. In Malt—the
supply of which ready for delivery VVB .5 small—next to
nothing was doing, at late rates. The Oat trade was
again heavy. In prices, no change took place. Beans,
Peas, Indian Corn and Meal were quite. neglected. The
top price of the best town-made Flour w a .3 42s per 2801bs.

SIKITIIFIELD.
Our market to-day was very scanC:ly supplied with
beasts, the general quality of which w;sf I tolerably good.
The few prime Scots on offer sold some ivhat freely, at
prices fully equal to those obtained ca i Monday last.
Otherwise the Beef trade was in a slug;;- ish state, at un-
altered quotations. The numbers of b':heep were 1,000
more than those exhibited on this day se'nnight. All
breeds moved off slowly, yet the cum fr cies were fairly
supported. The highest general top f 4 ;ure for Downs,
in the wool, was 4s 4d per 8 lbs. Lain b s were in mode-
rate request, at from 6s 4d to 6s 8d p er 8 lhs ; prime
small Calves were held at full prices; all other kinds of
Veal met a slow inquiry. Pigs dull ix' sale, but not
cheaper. Milch Cows were selling at :from 141. to 181.
each, including their small calf.

strong yellow.
COFFEE.—The dealings in this article have been ex.
tremely circumscribed, and in:West Indian samples there
has been no particular change. Good ord Native Cey-
lon has been sold privately at 32s 6d to 338 6d. The
accounts received by the overland mail report the crop
to be large. F. fine ord Plantation has realised 448

lar alteration in prices.

rivals, had improved the price of oranges. Two
cargoes ix Gipsey Queen and Neptune, from S.

at an advance of 2s per box; 600 barrels of chesnutgt
ex City of Rotterdam steamer, sold by the same parties
at a low figure, being landed in bad condition•
Lemons sustained the advanced price with every
prospect of a continuation. Barcelona Nuts are held
for a further improvement in price. A small parcel of
300 Black Spanish have arrived in time for the er
proaching Easter holidays. The Lisbon Oranges
arriving by sailing vessels are landing in bad conditioOf
owing to the length of vo)age. Dried Walnuts are
dull of sale. Brazil have advanced 2s. per barrel.

VICE-CHAN C.Elt Y.--(1 HIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
IN RE TOMLINSON.
Mr. RUSSELL said this was a petition on the part of A
mother, to be permitted to retain the custody of bee
child, of which it was sought to deprive her by her bus'
baud, Mr. Tomlinson, who is a shipowner residing is
Dublin. The petitioner and her husband were married
in June, 1845; but the conduct of the husband was such
that in July, 1846, they parted, not to meet again. The
child in question was not then born. It was born
.01
March, 1847, and had never been with its father from its
birth to the present time. The child is now two years
of age, and it is afflicted with a spinal complaint, and can
neither walk nor talk. Under the provisions of an AT'
of Parliament (usually called Mr. Sergeant Talfourci 0,
Act), the lather has recently sought the intervention or
a court of common law, by means of a habeas corpus, t°
obtain fur him the custody of his child; and on Monday intends to make a motion to Mr. Justice
Patteson for the custody of the child, and the
wife's brother has given a bond for 1,000/., to have the
child forthcoming on that day. The present petition
was made in anticipation of the intended proceedings
before Air. Justice Patteson on the habeas corpus by the
father, and it prayed that, for the reason of the child's
tender years, and of its weak and afflicted state, which
required the constant care of the mother, she might be
allowed to retain the custody of the child. The mother
is at the present time living with her brother, a wins
merchant, residing at Liverpool.
Mr. SWANSTON contended that the Court had no kale
diction in this case.
His HONOUR suggested to Mr. Swanston that the ctle
tody of the child should not be changed until after the
result of the application to Mr. Justice Patteson,
Monday next, be known, without prejudice to the rip'
of either party.
Mr. SWANSTON would agree to that suggestion, cpro-
vided the father was allowed to have access to the child
in the interim.
His HONOUR would: not consent to the father's
having access to the child there being proceeall3oi
%
going on in the Ecclesiastical Court at the present time
on the part of the husband to compel the restitution °
conjugal rights.
Mr. SWANSTON declined to act on his Honour's 811 r
gestion, except on the condition of the father having
cess to the child, and fell back upon the objection to the
Court's jurisdiction.
His HONOUR said—l think it right once more to ssf
that I wish particularly to be understood as not heir:
intimated any opinion upon the question, if it is a (I°.e,
tion, whether the Act of 1839 confers a new jurisdifti'nt,
upon this Court or adds to its powers. I give no oPlut
upon the question whether independent of that Act shtlis
-
Court would have exercised a jurisdiction upon this
if ' ntii
petition; but I do state my opinion thatlndepen .„0
of the Act this Court would have exercised jurist:halo
on this petition it may do so, although t;n
petition is entitled in the matter of the Act, as well as
the matter of the insolvent. I assume, for the presei,
purpose, that the petition is to be considered as a Pets,,
tion strictly under the Act, and under the Act
.010:r
and so viewing it, I am of opinion that in the partinal,„
circumstances of this case, although the child was at tt;i2
time when the petition was presented, and is now,
the custody of the mother, the Court has, upon the
equity of the statute, jurisdiction. The sense in
whl Ao
cll
I use the word equity will not be misunderstood. I "
not use it in the sense, or with the notion, that there
should be one construction of the statute in equity sad
another at law; but in that sense in which it hss
been long used by common as well as equity lawYerj-'
importing a liberal though not an improper
forced construction of the statute. So Yievvingt
this case, therefore, I consider a right order at
presebne
to make is, without prejudice to any question, that Itil
present custody of the infant shall not be changed na
after Wednesday next ; and let this petition stand ad.
journed till Wednesday, the mother and Mr. moot Frw•a;
(her brother) undertaking that the child shall rem
Liverpool, in the care of the mother, until a fuller
order, and undertaking, also, to provide in a proper
manner for the maintenance and care of the child.
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM ) •
His HONOUR was occupied during the morning bearing the further arguments of counsel in Kirwan v.
Daniel, which was part heard on a preceding day.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
George Thomas Green, was charged with obtaining
money under false pretences, from Mr. James Butler, of
the Strand.
It appeared that the prosecutor has in progress of
publication, in periodical numbers, a collection of archi-
tectural designs, under the title of the Architectural
Scrap-Book. The prisoner was employed as a canvasser,
upon the understanding that he should be allowed a com-
mission of twenty.four per cent. on all sales effected.
The prisoner gave in the names of Mr. Horace Jones,
of Newham, solicitor, and another gentleman, as sub-
scribers. He then received 4s. 6d. on account of the
commission. The numbers were accordingly sent to
those gentlemen, who refused to take the work, and
denied having given any authority to the prisoner to
enter their names in his subscription-list.
Mr. JARDINE thought the conduct of the prisoner
had been very improper, but he was of opinion that 0
jury would not convict him, under the statute for the
false pretences. Lie therefore felt it necessary to die'
charge him.

RAILWAYS IN INDIA.—It IS said that terms favour'
able to the two Indian railway companies were on Weit
nesday agreed to by the Court of Directors at the India
House.
