HIS DAY•}

MARKET

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have bear-
tolerably good, viz., 5,350 quarters, and the stands were'
fairly supplied with samples. The weather being extreme
favourable for the growing crops, and the attendance of
buyers small, the demand was heavy, and, in some instances,
22,000
the prices had a downward tendency. Upwards o
quarters of foreign Wheat have come in this week.
That
article was in heavy request, and offered at a decline of from
Is to 2s per quarter. The amount of business doin
was very small. For export, no sales took place.g
The show of Barley was small, yet the trade was heavy, at .
barely late rates. In Malt next to nailing was doing ; at;
prices were mostly supported. With Oats we were scantilb
currenciey..
supplied. All kinds moved off slowly at late
Beans, Pea!, Indian Corn, and Flour, were exceedingly in--
active.

Comparatively speaking, the supply of Beasts on sale berg

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JA.11.103.)
WANT V. ATKINSON.
This was an action on a bill of exchange for 111. 51. The
plaintiff is a builder at St. Pancras, and the defendant is
tradesman at the same place. :n f
The defendant pleaded that he had accepted the N..
the accommodation of one Smith, who had endorsed it to w-

plaintiff without consideration.
Mr. Wallis, clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, was calledo
and proved having had a conversation with the defer
dany
who said that he had had a great many bill transactions
debt
Smith, Smith, and that the one in question wasp artly for a
and partly for accommodation. d
Mr. RYkAND, who appeared for the defendant, eases
defendant was in rather a difficult situation, in conseq ..„
ca the conduct of Smith, who had been instrument: .11.!
cusing this defence, as he had stated to defendant th, t _
had given it to the plaintiff by way of accommodatioi
that the latter was quite aware that it was an accommo_d

bill. Since then, however, he had altered his story;buL u:

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DA
Y.)
Catherine Moody, a well-dressed female, was brought el)
on a remand, charged with uttering a counterfeit coin.
Mr. William Russell, landlord of the Cambrian Tavernr
Castle-street, Leicester-square, stated that the prisoher came
to his house on the night of the 14th instant, and having
called for a glass of sherry, which he supplied vritho
tendered a half-crown in payment. Directly he felt
the
coin he detected it as being bad, and taxed th
prisoner with attempting to defraud him.
The pri".
Boner replied that she had just received the money ot
a gentleman, and would go and tell him of it.
Wit
however, would not let her off so easily, but sent for a
constable and gave her in charge.
Police-sergeant Wells C, said he received charge of the
prisoner and conveyed her to the station, where she WO
searched, and eight counterfeit half-crowns were found tied
up in one corner of her shawl.
The barmaid at Ben Caunt's proved taking a counterfeit
half-crown from the prisoner on the same evening, in par
meat for a biscuit.
The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the coin being
bad, was committed for trial.

It will be seen that her Majesty yesterday de'
clared Lord Clarendon Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. We
believe that for the present no appointment will be made to
the presidency of the Board of Trade. The rumour of gr.
Labouchere's eventual succession to the office appeal' Ind
highly probable. The vacancy thus created in the 0,17.

Secretaryship will be filled, it is said, by Sir Wm. Sow"
