MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-W EDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to
°tit market, this morning, was small; but we had a
llarge number of Monday's unsold samples on offer. Really
Bn°° 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
heat was 51s per quarter. The imports of foreign
Wheat have been confined to 2,390 quarters. For that
article, the demand was in a very depressed state, and
Monday', quotations were with difficulty supported.
ttcarcely
any English Barley was on kale; but the quan-
y of
Foreign was tolerably good. All kinds met a
very slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices. In Malt,
so. little was doing that the currencies were almost no-
minal. The inquiry for Oats was mostly confined to
retail parcels, at previous quotations. Beans, Peas,
Indian. Corn, and Flour were excessively dull.

SUPPOSED APPREHENSION OF

MANNING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIRI—I 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
stopped
IRat the White Hart, Taunton, twice whilst
auanning kept it. I saw this man, and I firmly
believe that it is Manning. I could not swear to him.

Yours respectfully,
A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.

METROPOLITAN COURT OF
SEWERS.—(THIS DAY.)
At half
aped , 'past ten o'clock this morning an adjourned
a' Court of Sewers was held at the Court House,
_er Greek-street, Soho, when the following Commissioners
;141.1-I;e:rPPayre,smen.At:.—, The Rev. Mr. Stone (in the chair), G.
1,611 , Bullar, C. W. Johnston, A. Bane, Rev. John
~EE.sq. Chadwick, Thomas Hawes, J. Bedwell,
flume m p
The SECRETARY having read the requisition calling
the f
ormer Court,
BULLAR stated that he had received a nom-
Munication from Sir J. Burgoyne, in which that
centlernan stated that he thought it injudicious
to mix up with the business of the Commission any per-
sonal altercations which might have arisen amongst the
Members; and as, in the requisition calling the Court,
personal allusions of an unpleasant nature were made to
Mr. 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
to inquire into the expense of flushing without reference
to individuals, and he therefore would propose a reso-
lution to that effect. _ _

Mr. LESLIE objected to the resolution, and stated, to
say the least of it, that it was not very good taste on the
part 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-
moned for a specific purpose—that purpose being to
consider the expenses of removing the soil by means of
flushing, under the new Commission, as compared with
that under the old Westminster Commission, and he was
prepared at once to discuss the whole subject.
Mr. HUME observed that the Court was called to take
into consideration the expenses of flushing, but before
that could be done be thought that the returns of the ex-
penses which both of the Commissions cost ought to be
In the hands of every member. They had not these
returns, and he would therefore suggest that the returns
ordered, and that the matter be discussed at a future
meeting
of the Court.
!k_fter some discussion, the resolution was agreed to.
re
limslE then proposed a resolution to the effect
the officers of the Commission be requested to make
turn
ot the relative expenses of the two systems, to
beforwarded to each member of the Commission.
11r- LESLIE said he bad sufficient returns in his pos
Sessioni_ to enable him to proceed at once. Mr. Hume,
• Bedwell Mr. Byng, and himself; represented pro-
Va
tY to the amount of two millions and a quarter that
rit ,a annually rated, and it was their duty to protect the
e, :Payers. He was ready, and could prove, that the
'eaaee under the present Commission, as compared
with
that of the late, were most extravagant; that the
8(7,7t committee had been, and were; spending the money
rate-payers in a grossly extravagant manner. a
Rev. CHAIRMAN rose to order.
hit ,r• LESLIE said there was no objection to his being
4"ci, but when he attempted to return the blow, he
Was called
caued to order.
." MEMBER observed that not a shilling of the rate-
Vera' money was expended without the accounts going
under the scrutiny
of the finance committee.
th Mr. LESLIE would call the attention of the Court to
Compa penture of 757/. on behalf of the Sewers Manure
anY, the return of which would only be 15s.—
(Cr.ea of "No, no.")
Here Mr. Jonissort rose and said such was not the fact.
r• HumE and other members suggested that the
11°.leet had better be dropped.
Mr. LESLIE was surprised that Mr. Johnson should
make such an assertion. The money had been grossly
and improperly expended.
the
a long and angry discussion of a personal nature,
,ce resolution of Mr. Hume was adopted, and the Court
adjourned.
