MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, WEDNESDAY.—lnfluenced by
the expected capitulation of Paris, and by the cold weather,
the tone of the Corn Exchange was firm, although the business
doing, with the exception of flour, was not on an extensive
scale. There was a small show of English wheat on sale, but
the arrivals from abroad were more liberal. Sales in all de-
scriptions were effected at the extreme rates currant on Mon-
last. Barley was in fair supply, but malting qualities, owing to
their inferiority, were little inquired after, Grinding samples,
however, were purchased more freely, at full rates. Malt was
dull, and unchanged. There was a moderate show of oats on
the stands, which were taken off to a fair extent, at prices
tending upwards. Beans, peas, and maize were steady, both in
demand and value. The flour trade was considerably improved
in consequence of the news with reference to the Capitulation
of Pat is, and quotations advanced from 6d. to is., both in sacks
and barrels, but chiefly in the latter. Arrivals :—English and
Scotch : Wheat, 510 qrs. ; barley, 80 ; beans, 190 ; peas, 140.

The two houses that recently fell in Upper
Thames-street were built in the year following the great
fire of London in 1666, and the timbers had become "as
rotten as touchwood."
Anna Dickinson, the noted American lecturer in
a recent lecture demanded, "Why Has I born ?" There
was an emphatic pause, a repetition of the question, and
then a small boy in the gallery shrilly piped, " I givo it
up.'
Next Wednesday a banquet is take place at
Halifax, when an address congratulating Sir Henry
Edwards, Bart., on the defeat of the recent prosecution,
will be presented. Admiral Duncombe will preside,
and amongst those who have promised to attend are
several members of Parliament and other influential
gentlemen.
OCEAN PENNY POSTAGE.—Mr. Reverdy Johnson,
in a letter dated Baltimore, January 13, has written to Z_-,ir
Thomas Bazley, M.P., Mr. George Hadfield, M.P., and
Mr. Charles, Seely, M.P., thanking them for having sent
him some information in relation to the ocean penny
postage movement. He says that he is more than ever
persuaded that penny postage would prove even more
beneficial than the sum now fixed. Besides the individual
interest which cheap postage promotes, its effect in bring-
ing together in closer union the two countries, will be to
confirm these friendly relations which are so vital to our
common prosperity and happiness.
Booxs.—The " Garden Oracle," a yearly periodi-
cal, which appears for the thirteenth time, is enlarged and
improved. It is illustrated, and contains selections of
the most valuable garden vegetables and fruits, a series
of selections of " pictorial trees" for parks, gardens,
public promenades, and town enclosures, and a review in
detail of the progress of horticulture in every branch of
the art during the past year. It is odd to notice that the
war has affected gardening, for the " Oracle" contains no
announcement of new continental roses or gladioli, or
any other of the many flowering plants which our near
neighbours have been went to supply oar gardens with.—
" Tweedie's Temperance Year-book" supplies an excel-
lent review of the temperance doings during the year,
with original articles, and a list of temperance societies.
AN ECCENTRIC CAPTAIN AND HIS GARDENER.
—ln the Nisi Prins Exchequer Court, on Wednesday,
George Glover, gardener, sued his late master, Captain
T. G. Edwards, of Hyde Lodge, Hammersmith, for sub-
stantial damages for assault and wrongful imprisonment.
Plaintiff was recommended to defendant by Sir James
East, and shortl33 after he had entered on the service he
was found fault with by the defendant for giving
refuge in his lodge to Mrs. Newman, the housekeeper
whom Captain Edwards turned out of his house about
eleven o'clock at night. It was the practice of the Captain
to flourish a large four-in-hand whip among the shrubs
and flowers in the nursery, and threaten to " victimise "
plaintiff, whom he eventually gave in custody for remov-
ing gardening utensils, which, however, belonged to
plaintiff, who was acquitted by the Hammersmith magis-
trates, who considered it a groundless charge: The jury,
under the direction of Baron Bramwell, gave plaintiff a
verdict for £2OO damages.
