MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
A limited supply of English Wheat has been received
up to our market since Monday. Tho show of samples
of both red and white was small, yet it was quite ade-
quate to the wants of the buyers. All kinds met a slow
inquiry. In prices, however, we have no change to
notice. Only 1,100 quarters of foreign Wheat have
come to hand since Saturday. Selected qualities sold
to a fair extent, at full currencies; but the middling and
inferior kinds were the turn in favour of the millers.
Scarcely any Barley was on offer. Malting samples were
held for more money. Grinding and distilling sorts
were quite as dear. There was only a moderate in-
quiry for Malt ; nevertheless last week's quotations were
fairly supported. Very few Oats were on the Market.
On the whole the trade was in a sluggish state, at un-
altered prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, as
on Monday.

MIDDLESEX SLSSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE.)
Elizabeth Munday, a married woman, 40 years of age,
was indicted for picking the pocket of John Frederick
Haynes, of a purse. The prosecutor, on the evening of
the Bth inst., was returning to town along the Bayswater-
road, on the Park side of the way, when he was accosted
by the prisoner, who, notwithstanding his indignant re-
pulses, persisted in clinging to him, until he pushed her
off by force ; and feeling his waistc3at pocket, he dis-
covered that his purse had been taken. He instantly
pursued the prisoner, and after a sharp run of seventy
yards, he overtook her and gave her into custody.
The prisoner's counsel severely cross-examined the
witness, to draw from him a corroboration of the pri-
soner's defence at the station-house' which implied a
charge of immorality against him. This be solemnly
repelled, and the Assistant-Judge gravely reproved the
counsel (afterwards) for repeating the imputation in his
address to the jury.
She was found Guilty, and the Judge, commenting
upon the additional criminality of the defence set up,
sente
nced her to six months' imprisonment and hard
labour.

MARLBRO'-STRE b.T—( THIS DAY.)
Margaret Callaghan and Maria Williams, two women
of repulsive appearance, were brought before Mr. Hard-
wick, charged with creating a disturbance, and breaking
three squares of glass, at the soup kitchen in Ham.
yard, Windmill-street.
Mr. James Ettershank, the superintendent of the in-
stitution in Ham-yard, stated, that last night, about half-
past nine o clock the prisoners applied for admission for
the night. As the place was full witness told them to go
to St. James's workhouse. They refnsed to leave the
place, and became so violent and abusive that witness
was obliged to send for a constable to take them away.
Just as the constable was coming down the yard the
prisoners broke three squares of glass. Witness then
gave them in charge.
The prisoners, who did not attempt to deny the charge,
were committed to the House of Correction for 21 days,
with hard labour.
Mr. George Ponsloe, a timber merchant, residing at
336, Oxford-street, was charged with a cowardly assault
upon a female named Elizabeth Baxter.
The assault having been proved, Mr. HARDWICK fined
him 4/.

The money was immediately paid.
A number of Irish vagrants were brought up, in cus-
tody of the mendicity officers, charged with begging in
Regent-street.

As it was proved that they were old offenders, Mr.
HARDwicx committed each of them for 21 days to the
House of Correction.

VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO THE LYCEUM.—Wre

and Prince Albert to honour the performances at

SPANNING THE GLOBE.—An American merchant
bound for Ceylon, left New York on the 4th instant, in
the Canada mail steamer, and arrived in Liverpool on the
morning of the 19th. After transacting some business in
Liverpool and London, he arrived at Southampton by the
day mail train on the 20th, and immedately embarked on
board the Ripon Steamer, which was preparing to start
for Alexandria with the Indian mail. This gentleman
will reach his destination on the 15th June. Thus
he will have travelled from the United States to
China, a distance of nearly 15,000 miles, in seventy..
two days! In a little more than two months he
will have travelled the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and
the Mediterranean, Red and China Seas, called It Eng_
land, Gibraltar, and Malta, in Europe; Alexandria and
Suez, in Africa ; and Aden, Ceylon, Penarg, Singa-
pore, and 11'.n; Kong, in Asia. With the exception of
passing through England and Egypt, the whole of his
Journey will have been performed by water, in British
ships. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's servants
never recollect a pa,senger for China who had been so
recently in America, and it will probably be, for length
and rapidity, the most extraordinary voyage ever per-
formed,
