MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
e t to our market lost week the arrivals of all articles
home produce, including Flour, were on a very mode-
rate scale, and those from Ireland and Scotland were
extremely small. From abroad the general imports
were on the increase; they having consisted of 21,172
quarters of Wheat, 1,420 ditto of Barley, 5,529 ditto of
Vats, 6,132 ditto of Beans, 4,636 ditto of Peas, and 375
ditto of Indian Corn. No Flour came to band from any
quarter. Fresh u p to-d ay
'the from Essex, the receipts of
.Wheat of home produce coastwise were somewhat on
e increase, but those from Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c.,
wtoere small. By land carriage very few samples came
hand; still, however, as a clearance was not effected
'52 Friday last, the show of samples, most of which
.were greatly out of condition, was moderately extensive.
~,xteally fine qualities of white, fit for grinding,
0.'," mostly disposed of at prices about equal to those
Obtained on Monday last. In all other kinds only a
limited business was transacted, at a decline in the quo-
tations of from Is to 2s per quarter. The market
closed somewhat heavily. and a total clearance was not
effected. With foreign Wheat, arising from the corn-
rlatively large arrivals reported last week, we were
e I supplied. The millers purchased with considerable
caution, and the currencies suffered an abatement of quite
s per quarter. The sales for export were on a very un-
portant scale. The show of English Barley
ys good—foreign trifling. Even the best malting
parcels were very dull, and quite is per quarter
er. Grinding and distilling sorts were a mere
"Eug, and la to 2s per quarter cheaper than on Monday

last. With Malt we were by no means heavily supplied;
nevertheless, the trade was very dull, and the prices re-
ceded quite is per quarter, without effecting a clearance.
NotwitL•standing the arrivals of Oats for several weeks
past have been small on a comparison with the wants of
the trade, and the actual supply- on show to-day was
by na means good, the Oat trade was in a
very sluggish state, at barely stationary prices.
With English Beans we were very scantily supplied, but
the show of foreign was large. All qualities met a
dull sale, and the quotations were with difficulty- sup-
ported. White Peas sold at full prices ; hut all other
kinds were is to 2s per quarter lower, with a dull sale.
Indian Corn, Meal, and Rye Flour were held at late
rates. Flour, both sack and barrelled, moved off slowly,
at last week's figures.

when he attempted to murder her. :In this case
there was little more for the grand jury qo consider
than the identity of the party presented be fore them.
There was another very serious case. It lo ias that of
a large quantity of property taken by a femaLle servant,
and there were two other persons charged. with re-
ceiving the stolen property ; one of them, -was th,e
father of the woman, and the other was a. perare in
a superior condition of life, with whom it., apneared
she was intimately connected. It would be .for the
jury to say whether there was sufficient evidence
of guilty knowledge on the part of this. -person to
put the case in train of further inquiry. All they
had to consider was whether there was a p rims facie
easeagainstthose twoindividuals. There wlas a case of
murder of a peculiar and melancholy charm cter. The
party accused was a boy, twelve years ix f age, who
was alleged to have caused the death e his grand-
father, by administering poison to him. It WAS ne-
cessary :or him (the Recorder) to tell tile jury that,
although they might think that such sal act could
not he committed by a boy of that tenth tr age, unless
his reasoning powers were defective, thrit was not a
matter for thir consideration. There was a tribunal
expressly appointed by statute to deter' nine that part
of the question. The grand jury had only to con-
sider
whether there was sufficient evidence as to the
act to send the matter for further i aquiry. The
Learned Judge concluded by expressing his regret
that they had the prospect of heavy duties.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
James Burns, a young Irishman, was placed.
before Mr. Bingham charged with fraudulently ob-
taining money under the following circumstances :
Sergeant-Major Parkinson, of the, East India
Company's recruiting service, Soho-square, stated
that for some length of time the recrrating officers of
the company have been imposed upon by such per-
sons as the prisoner. It had got to a regular system,
for young men to offer themselves as recruits, and
after getting the shilling from the party who enlisted
them, proceeded to another part of the town and, en.
listed with another sergeant, receiving the $.0.1.11e
amount from him. Thus they would go the round
of the recruiting houses, in many cases wetting as
much as eight or nine shillings, besides ibod and
other refreshments. Such cases had become so fre-
quent that he was directed to make an example of the
first person caught at such a system of fraud. he
had two witnesses present who would prove that the
prisoner received money from them at different
times.

ohn M'Donald said he was a sergeant in the East
Li lia Company's service. On Friday afternoon last,
about live o'clock, the prisoner enliqed with him iu
Southwark. lle gave him a shilling, refreshments,
arid a night's lodging, and the next morning took
him before the surgeon, who rejected him as. being
unfit for the service.
James Lambert, another sergeant in the Fast India
Company's service, said, on Saturday evening, about
six o'clock, the prisoner came to him rAt the One Tun
lsfkasedahriem-
Tavern, in the Strand, and offeredit hnieinss6e a
cruit for the Company's service.
if be had ever enlisted before, or was labouring
under any bodily ailment. I.Jrisoner replied that he
had never been enlisted, wad that he was not
labouring under any disea,se whatever. 'Witness
then gave him a shilling, and took him to the sur-
geon, who, on seeing the prisoner, recognised him as
the same man he had rejected some few hours pre-
vious.. Witness then gave him into custody. The
pri,ioner denied receiving any money from last witness.
Sergeant-Major Parkinson said the prisoner ad-
-1,6 tti:d to him that be had received- a shilling from
la, ,t and had cloth it all hut foorpenec. The
filet ',Vas the ptiioner had, ne rie,uht, ffilttla it a very
profitable getting mottcy ; and he had nut
the least doubt he had victimLeti tieAreral others in a
similar manner.

Mr. 131 Nonam remanded the prisoner till Wed.
nesday next.

CLERKENWEI.L.—( THIS DAY.)
Catherine Donovan was charged with stabbing
Mary M'Culloch, with intent to murder her.
It appeared that the prosecutrix and the prisoner had
fruit stands side by side, in the Pentonville-road, and
were continually quarrelling. Yesterday they were
together as usual, when they again quarrelled, and
fought. The prisoner found herself getting the-worst
of it, when she seized a knife, and made a plunge of it
at her opponent's throat; but she luckily bent her
head, and received the stab just at the angle of the
jaw-bone.

The prisoner, in her defence, said her husband had
some time ago been transported, and the prosecutor
was always taunting her with it, and yesterday even-
ing, as she was eating her dinner, the prosecutrix
struck her, and tore all her bonnet to pieces, when
she (prisoner), in the rage of the moment, made a
blow at her with the knife with which she was eating
her dinner.

One or two important -witnesses not being in
attendance, Mr. COMBX adjourned the case to
Wednesday next.

Edward' Ellice, a tall, respectable looking man,
was charged with stealing a coat, twenty shillings,
and a r,air of gloves, under the following singular
circumstances :

lleury
Cappell said, he went into a public-house
in St.. John's-street, when several persons at the bar,
amongst whom was the prisoner, began to bet about
the size of their chests and waists, and he (witness)
took off his coat to be measured amongst the rest.
Some of the parties present said his coat would be
too small for the prisoner, when the latter took it up
and put it on him, and walked off with it. There
were twenty shillings and a pair of gloves in the
pockets.

The prisoner said he had known the prosecutor a
long time, and frequently lent him money ; and in
confirmation produced several I 0 U.'s, signed by
the prisonet., who did not deny their validity, and
although he had applied for payment he never could
get a peimy. When the coat was put upon him
(Ellice) the prosecutor said he never saw a nicer fit.
He (Ellice) then said, why if it be such a nice fit as
that, I will keep it in payment of the little account
between. us, and you can have your I 0 U—
(Laug'nter.)
COMBE ordered, the coat to be restored to the
prosecutor, and advised the prisoner to try the
County Court as a safer mode of recovering his debts
in future.

recommended the appointment by the v t
the authorities of other parishes, of acreyr's
in
plain clothes, to be employed in apprehending
mendicants found begging in the streets. Mr. Stanford,
in moving the adoption of the report, alluded to the fact
that there were 30,000 men thrown out of employ in
Lancashire, and 40,000 more turned off their work on
the railways. He urged, therefore, that during the en-
suing winter the English public would have demands
upon their benevolence from honest and industrious
labourers out of employ, and they ought to have the pre-
ference to sturdy impostors and dishonest street beggars.
Mr. W. Williams seconded the motion. Mr. 11, C. Wil-
son, Mr. G. Daniell, and others, opposed the report, on
the ground that while the parish was called on to pay
23,0001. per annum for police, the latter ought to do the
work of suppressing meuclicity. The report xvas ulti-
mately, on a show of hands, negatived by a majority of
two.

DOVER, Nov. 21.—Her Majesty's packet the Gar-

Birmingham's Ship Hotel. After partaking of a
thjciincr is la fourchette his Excellency started by special
train to London. The Garland made the voyage in lh.
43m.—we believe the shortest passage from Boulogne on
record. His Excellency the Earl, with the Countess of
Westmoreland, sailed from the Ship Hotel yesterday
morning for Calais in the Garland.

DEATH OF ALEXANDER
GALLO WAY.
It is our melancholy duty to announce the death of
Alexander Galloway, Esq., in his 72d year ; he ex-
pired on Saturday. He was upwards of half a
century an uncompromising reformer, and an active
public man. He lived to see nearly all the measures
that he advocated and suffered for in early life recog-
nised, and made the law of the land. We know of
few public men in a private capacity who so well
earned high public esteem. He was ready to suffer,
and did endure, fifty years ago, lengthened impri-
sonment under William Pitt's Administration, with-
out having a trial, for opinions be believed to be
true and right. He Was ever foremost in support-
ing the oppressed, and rendering in person and
pocket aid to all men and measures, having for their
object the public benefit. Although he was a vigi-
lant politician, he did not allow that subject wholly
to engross his active and energetic mind. Ho was
engaged as i
a civil engineer in extensive works
this and other countries. We remember well one
essential service he did for the British artisan and for
British industry, that would alone be fame enough;
we mean his successful exertions to obtain a repeal of
the statute of the sth of Elizabeth, by
which Act no
man, however qualified, could follow a trade, who
had not been apprenticed to it for seven years. By
his great exertions this Act was repealed in 1814,
and we believe the greatness of the manufacturing
skill
of this country has to date its rapid advance to
this measure, which, in the true
principles of free-
dom, allows every man to follow that pursuit that is
most fitted to his talents, skill, and interest. In pri-
vate life Mr. Galloway Was a kind and generous
friend, and of extremely conciliatory manners.
H e was highly respected by an extensive
circle of friends, who severely deplore his
loss. Till 1841 he enjoyed uninterrupted good
health ; in that year he was attacked with
paralysis, which left-him much shaken; and, although
since that period he has lived in comparative retire-
ment, yet his early political
principles and associa-
tions made him an active inquirer of the progress of
events. Hia last public act was his attendance at the
dinner to commemorate the acquittal of his early
colleagues, Hardy, Tooke, and Thelwall, at which he
Made a short speech expressive of his pleasure at the
progress made of late years of his early opinions. We
hesitate not to declare, from long personal know-
ledge of Alexander Galloway, that he was a true
patriot and friend of mankind ; and that few men in
their sphere did more to aid the progress of rational
and practicable freedom. He was as honest in the
sacred cause of liberty as was Thomas Hardy ; he was
as intrepid as Horne Tooke ; and, having lived in times
that tried men's souls, let it be recorded in his epi•
taph, that he did his duty.—Advertiser.

OPENING of the SPANISH CORTES.
MADRID, Nov. 15.—The two Chambers met yes-
terday, the Senate publicly, and the Congress with
closed doors. Senor Pardo, as senior member, took
the chair in the former, until the communication
from the Government respecting the nomination of
tile Marquis Miraflores as President having been read,
the Marquis assumed the presidency. He then ad-
dressed the House ; and, touching on the topics de
ri gum-, his own unworthiness and inability to perform
the high duties he was called to, &c., he admitted
the delight he felt at being thus called to preside
over so distinguished a body. He proposed that the
commissioners for the reception of her Majesty, and
for the address, should be ballotted for. The follow-
ing persons were chosen to receive her Majesty in the
portico of the building :—The Count San Julian,
Count of Santa Olalla, Duke of A humada, Perez de
Castro, Sales Omana, Figueras, Villacampa, Valdes,
Marquis of San Felices, the Archbishop of Burgos,
Oudovilla, the Marquis of Zembrano.
Of what took place in the Congress, we only know
that the provisional Mesa is thus formed :—Senor
Barone, President ; Tussara, Puiz Descalzo, Lafuente
Alcantara, and Manso, Secretaries.
The commission to receive the Queen, conjointly
with that of the Senate, is thus composed :—Fontana,
Castilla, Barzanallame, Seijas, Ocana, Orense, Ra-
mirez Arellano, Count de Roche, Fuentes Torre y
Ossel, Ordoz, Penzoa. Supplementary—Pidal, Puiz,
Flores Puramo, Sagasti.

HALF-PAST 3 o'CLocx, P.M.
The Queen has left the Senate on her return to the
palace. The following is the Speech read by her
Majesty on opening the Cortes :
" Senores, Senators, and Deputies—
" With feelings of the most pleasing kind I behold
you again round the throne, ready, as ever, to co-
operate towards its greater splendour and stability, as
well as to the consolidation of order, and of the in-
stitutions which govern us, and on which repose the
peace and happiness of the people.
" Our diplomatic relations with friendly Powers
have undergone no alteration since the la. t session ;
and it is most satisfactory for me to announce to you
that the pending negotiations with the Court of
Rome—the presence of an apostolic delegate in Spain
powerfully contributing towards this result—are ap-
proaching a happy termination, such as becomes the
paternal solicitude, and the well-known enlightened
character of the common head of the Church, and the
piety and feelings of a people eminently Catholic.
" Under the protection and vigilance of the mother
country our faithful provinces beyond sea—each day
increasing in prosperity and wealth—enjoy unalter-
able tranquillity ; and if in the Peninsula there be
any point which does not possess such an advantage,
I entertain the firm hope that in a short time, by
means of prudent energy on the part of my Govern-
ment, the co-operation of the Cortes, and the never-
failing valour and loyalty of the army and navy, the
empire of the law will be established in every quarter
of the kingdom.
" My Government, persuaded that thus only can it
apply itself with due zeal and preference to the neces-
sary encouragement and development of the public
resources, ameliorating and reforming those branches
of general administration that require it, and firmly
resolved to observe a system of legality which shall
protect the peaceable citizen, and at the same time
restrain and repress those who in whatever manner
may attempt to be superior to the law, will forthwith
present to your examination and for your approval
such projects as it believes indispensable to conciliate
the due application of the principle of legality with
the unembarrassed action of Government, which is
as essential to the preservation of order as to the
tranquil development of rational and well understood
liberty.
" At the same time shall be presented to you the
estimates for the year 1848, if not accompanied with
the radical reforms my Government contemplates,
and will one day submit to the Cortes, with, however,
the ameliorations and savings permitted by the state
of the Administration, the circumstances of the
country, and the shortness of the time.
" Other projects of admitted imprtance and
urgency shall also be successively submitted to you ;
such as one by means of which a definitive and suitable
provision for the clergy and public worship has to be
regulated ; one which will determine the privileges
and rights of the press according to the safest princi-
ples and the best constitutional doctrines ;—cne rela-
tive to the judicial organization, with the ameliora-
tions and reforms that are possible as regards the ad-
ministration of justice; as well as others equally
demanded by the necessities of the country, which
the Cortes will examine with that zeal and activity
of which they have already given so many honourable
proofs.
"By those means the long wished-for moment will
arrive of the reconciliation of all Spaniards, in which
will be extinguished even to the very memory of past
discords —when there will be no longer seen round
the Throne but Spaniards become brothers, all equally
determined to co-operate in the consolidation of public
peace, under the shadow of which the institutions can
only take root and prosper, and in which only are
there guarantees for the citizen, and happiness and
liberty for the people.
" Senores, Senators, and Deputies,—Such is the
great work to which, for a long time past, the Cortes
are called with the Throne. You are aware of my
sentiments and wishes on this point, as well as of
those of my Government. Afford them, I pray you,
your firm and loyal support, and do not doubt that
Providence will bless our common efforts in the cause
of a people as deeply wounded by misfortune as they
are worthy of being happy."
Her Majesty read the above in rather a hurried
manner, though not indistinctly. As soon as the
reading was over she descended from the throne,
passed through the Chamber, acknowledging the
salutes of the assembly, and left the Senate.
On her Majesty passing through the streets every
one remarked how thin, careworn, and even haggard
she looked; and though, when she entered the Cham-
ber, a flush overspread her countenance, yet an ex-
pression of sadness was still observable.
The display was, as usual, brilliant. Stars, uni•
forms, embroideries, and ribbands were in great abun-
dance, and the lace on Narvaez' coat alone, with his
stars and diamonds, might have gone a good way to-
wards paying a half-year's dividend of the Three per
Cents.
The day was most beautiful, rather like summer than
one in the month of November, and the sun shone
from a cloudless sky • yet the whole wore an air of
sadness. Not a single viva or shout was heard from
the moment the Queen left the Palace till she reached
the Senate. En revanche, you heard now and then
murmurs not very respectful to the Duchess of Rian-
zares, as soon as the people caught a sight of her
rather bloated countenance.

OPENING OF THE HUNGARIAN

Lord and Lady Stanley arrived in St. James's-
square on Saturday evening from.linowsley-park, the
Earl of Derby's seat in Lancashire. The Noble Lord
has suffered so severe an attack of gout that he was un-
able to remove to London, but yesterday his Lordship
was considered much better.
In some of the English schools in Wales, when a
scholar is heard speaking Welsh, he is punished by being
obliged to carry about with him a wooden pin, until he
is lucky enough to catch one of his companions com-
mitting the same offence, when ho joyfully transfers the
detested pin to the fresh culprit.
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—Mr. Atkins, of
East Lulworth Farm, near Lulworth Castle, Dorsetshire,
whilst walking beside a hedge on'his farm, had his at-
tention drawn to a large bird's nest in a:bush in which,
as he thought were two stones, but on further inspection
it turned out to be the heads of two rats. Ile imme-
diately sent his man home for his gun, when he shot
at the nest, and to his astonishment killed four rats that
were in it.

noon, between three and four o'clock, an omnibus pro-
ceeding up Princes-street, Soho-square, heavily laden
with passengers, inside and out, from the breaking of
the hind axletree, was thrown upon its side, pitching
the outside passengers with frightful violence upon lie
stones. Two were dreadfully crushed between the top
of the vehicle and the road, and, after receiving surgical
assistance, were conveyed to the hospital. Several of

DIET.

PRESBURG, Nov. 12.—His Majesty the Emperor
of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia, accom-
panied by her: Majesty the Empress and a numerous
suite, having safely arrived here yesterday, the open-
ing of the Hungarian Diet took place this morning,
at about half -past ten o'clock, whereupon the election
of his Imperial and Royal Highness the Archduke
Stephen immediately followed by acclamation, and
without the usual form of candidature. The King
has graciously confirmed this choice of the States,
and the enthusirtm and demonstrations of loyalty and
devoted attachment to the persons of their Majesties,
and every member of the Imperial and Royal Family,
exceed all description. His Majesty the King of
Bohemia having addressed the assembled States in the
Hungarian language throughout the whole of these
ceremonies—a compliment which the Hungarians
have not experienced for the last 300 years—and
having also delivered the most liberal propositions for
the consideration of the assembled Diet, has added,
if possible, to his popularity, and to the fervent and
well-grounded hopes which are entertained with re-
tpect to the future administration of affairs under the
guidance of the new Palatine, than whom no man
could ever be more adored by a chivalrous and noble-
minde d nation.

FIRE AT THE ROYAL ASYLUM, GREENWICH.—
OH Saturday evening, shortly before seven o'clock, con-
siderable alarm was created at Greenwich by the circu-
lation of a report that the Royal Asylum was on fire.
A number of parties soon repaired to the spot to render
assistance, when it was ascertained that the flames had
originated in the second flow; front, occupied by Lieu-
tenant Rouse, the superintendent of the asylum. Their
origin has been traced to a spark flying from a lighted
candle, and alighting on the bed furniture, owing to the
easilytignitable character of which, the fire very speedily
assumed rather an alarming aspect. There being no
lack of assistance, the numerous inmates, with the aid of
buckets of water, succeeded in confining the flames to
the apartment in which they originateJ.

the black fever. Their bodies were both black several
hours previous to their death.—lllanchester Examiner.

medial provisions, amongst which a further grant of
money is contemplated.—herald.
