MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up for
this morning's market was very moderate ; but there
were several of Monday's unsold samples offering. Very
few buyers were in attendance, while the demand for all
desriptions of Wheat of home produce was heavy, at
barely stationary prices. Nearly 15,000 quarters of
foreign Wheat have come to had in fair average condi-
tion. Really fine parcels were mostly held at full cur-
rencies, at which, however, very few transac-
tions were reported ; but the middling and in-
ferior kinds ruled the town in favour of the
buyers. In floating cargoes next to nothing doing.
No English Barley at market, and the supply of foreign
was small. The demand for most kinds ruled steady, at
full pricer. In Malt, the supply of which was good,
next to nothing doing. We were very scantily supplied
with Oats, which moved off readily, at last week's ad-
vances. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Flour dull.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.)
The August General Sessions commenced this morn•
ing at the Court-house, Clerkenwell-green. There are
but sixty names in the calendar.
William Jennings was indicted for stealing six neck..
laces of the value of 21. 55., the property of Harsch
Eisenberg, from his person.
The prosecutor, a Prussian, is an itinerant dealer
in jewellery, and on the 17th of last month,
in passing by the prisoner's house, he was invited
in to show his goods ; and a bargain was made
for the sale of a mosaic-gold chain. When he left the
house ho missed from his pocket a paper parcel, which
had contained the necklace in question. He returned
and tamed the prisoner with having robbed him. There
were three other persons in the room, but his sus'
picion fell upon the prisoner, because he wile
the nearest to him. A woman who was present
said that Jennings had the property, and told him to gtre
it up to the prosecutor. But the prisoner denied having
it, and Eisenberg went for the police. The woman
called after him to come back, and showed him a feW
of the beads, loose, in her hand. He brought three
policemen, who took the prisoner into custody, and
found in his pocket only three beads, and these were
loose. The prosecutor said they were of the same kind
as his, and to the best of his belief they were some of
them.

The ASSISTANT JUDGE was of opinion that, under the
cireums!ances, the safest course for the jury would be to
acquit the prisoner.
Acquitted accordingly.

A woman's heart is the true place for a man's like'
ness; Daguerreotype-like, an instant gives the impres4
sion, but an age of sorrow and change cannot efface it.--"

A MOTHER STABBED BY HER DAUGHTER,-00
Saturday an inquest was held at Ramsey, at the house
of William Pyman, a farmer, on the body of his wife,
Anne Spencer Pyman, aged 74. Mary Ann Pymans
single woman, stated that the deceased was her mother.
On Tuesday, the 10th inst., about one o'clock in the af"
ternoon, her mother and her sister, Eliza Pyman, were
in the sitting-room together, when her sister called to
her to bring a lily leaf to put on her mother's knee. She
got a leaf, and went into the room with it, when her
mother said to her, " She (meaning her sister Eliza)
has cut a hole in my knee, only because I said there
should be some more cabbage for dinner." She placed
a lily leaf steeped in brandy upon the wound, and tied
handkerchief over it. She had forgotten before to state
that as soon as she came into the room her mother said
to her, "Eliza has thrown a knife at my knee." Her sister
Eliza said nothing. The wound was continued to he
dressed by them until the Tuesday following (the 17th)'
when Mr. Smith, the surgeon of Manningtree, was sent
for, who came that morning, and who attended her 11P
to the time of her death, which took place on Thursdays,
the 26th inst. Her mother did not say whether any
blows had passed between her and her sister. Her sister
_
had been for some time past labouring under aberratiot:
of intellect. This witness gave her evidence in a soeon.

given, and the coroner having summed up, the jury.,,L
turned a verdict of " Manslaughter against al.—
Pyman," and she was committed for trial. The daughter
who has been committed to take her trial is Shiehtli t
e
twenty-four years old, and was up-stairs during
inquiry; and when the coroner and jury went to view'
the body she was extremely violent, and was breaking
things in her bedroom.
How little we know what is in the bosoms of those
around us! How natural it is, however, to feel and 06
as if we knew how to account for all that appears on the
surface by the limited acquaintance we have with cir-
cumstances and feelings—to resent an indifference of
which we know not the cause—to approve or condemn.
without allowance for chagrin, or despair, or love, or
hope, or distress—any of the deep under•currents for
ever at work in the depths of human bosoms. The
young man at your side at a dinner-party may have ez
duel on his hands for the morning, a disgrace imminent
in credit or honour, or a refused heart or an accepted
one, newly crushed or newly made happy; or (more`
common still and less allowed for), he may feel the first
impression of disease, or the consequences of an indi-
gestion; and for his agreeableness or disagreeablenelr
you try to account by something in yourself, some feel'
ing toward yourself, as if you, and you only, could affect
his spirits or give a colour to his mood or manners. The
old man's thought of death, the mother's overwhelming
interest in her child, the woman's up-spring of emotion
or love, are visitors to the soul that come unbidden and
out of time; and you can neither feast nor mourn secure
against their interruption. We would explain many 51
coldness could we look into the heart concealed from Of
we should often pity when we hate, love when we think
we cannot ever forgive, admire when we curl the lip
with scorn and indignation. To judge without reserve
of any human action is a culpable temerity, of all oar
sins the most unfeeling and frequent.—Eliza Coo,"

A BUFFALO HUNT IN LONDON.—Yesterday three
buffaloes, a grown bull, and two calves, one of theta
about the size of a small donkey, and the other of
sheep, landed at the docks, were being driven along
Holborn to the Euston-square terminus, for transit to
Birmingham, when, frightened by the strange noise and
clamour at the foot of Holborn-hill, the bull darted away
followed by the calves. The animals proceeded at e
very rapid rate along Fleet-street and the Strand to
Charing-cross. Here the bull gored some horses dray,'
ing a coal waggon, dashed across Trafalgar and St•
James's-squares, along Jertnyn street, up Bond-street.
through Grosvenor-square, into Park .lane, upsetting
Captain English and his horse at the moment coming
out of the park, having accomplished which he fell in
behind a load of hay being driven up Park-lane. The
keepers, who had followed in a chaise-cart, attended by
an immense crowd, now came up, and ropes being passed
round his horns he was secured to the tail of the cart.
He kicked and plunged furiously, and from his great
strength threatened to upset both horse and cart, and
broke one of his horns, which bled profusely. He wag
at length drawn to a neighbouring stable and deposited
for safety. The bull and calves are very handsome
animals, of a greyish slat© colour. No serious accident
occurred in this long chase, though numbers were exces-
sively frightened.

BOSTON ELECTION.—BOCTON, JULY 31.—The
general opinion here is that Mr. Wire must win. Fresh-
field is the only candidate against him who has any
chance whatever. Mr. Pelham will be disgracefully
beaten, and the Yarborough interest materially injured
by the opposition to the popular candidate. A worse
result still will be the division of the Liberal interest for
the future, and thereby the strengthening of the Tory
chances at a general election. The meetings at the
theatre, to hear Mr. Wire and his friends, are nightly
crowded to suffocation, hundreds being unable to find
room. The enthusiasm in his favour is quite extraor-
dinary.

TESTIMONIAL TO L. C. lIERTSLET, Esq., LATE
CLERK TO THE METROPOLITAN CoMMISsIoN or SEwEns.
—Yesterday afternoon, at the close of office hours, the
whole of the gentlemen engaged in the clerk's depart-
ment of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers, assem-
bled in the large room of the office, Greek-street, for
the purpose of presenting their late chief clerk, Mr.
Hertslet, with some mark of their approbation of his
services, on his retirement from the commission. The
testimonial, we believe, was truly a genuine expression
of feeling on the part of every person engaged in that
department, and their regret at his loss. The testimonial
consisted of a massive chased silver inkstand tray, with
some very chaste and tasteful appendages, and bore the
following inscription:—" Presented to Lewis Cooke
Hertslet, Esq., as a tribute of respect and esteem, from
the officers of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers,
on his retirement from office. July 31, 1849." On Mr.
Hertsiet entering the room, the Chief Surveyor addressed
him and said, he had great pleasure in presenting him
with a small token of the regard entertained by the
whole of the persons engaged in the office, and with
their bEst wishes towards him on his retirement. Mr.
Hertsiet returned thanks, and afterwards received the
individual acknowledgments of every person present.
We understand that the friends and admirers of
the character of the late Sir John Barrow, Bart., our
distinguished townsmen, have it in contemplation to
erect a momument to the memory of their deceased
friend, somewhere in the vicinity of his birth-place.
The pillar or tower is to be seventy feet high, and will
be erected at an estimated cost of 1,200/. Among those
who have already given their sanction to the project we
may mention—Her
Majesty the Queen Dowager, Earl
Howe, of
Burlington, the Earl of Haddington,
Lordle the
l Earlville, the Marquis of Northampton, the Bishop
or Norwich, Sir Robert Peel, Bart., Sir George Staun-
ton, Bart., Admiral Sir George Cockburn, Bart., Admiral
Sir Wm. Gage, Captain W. A. B. Hamilton, the Right
Hon. J. Wilson Croker, and many otherB of the nObilitY
and gentry.—(fiverston Advertiser.
