MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY,)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
A very limited supply of Englirh Wheat having been
received up to our market this weak, the show of
samples of that grain to-day was extremely small. As
the quantity on offer was by no means equal to the
wants of the buyers, the business transacted was trifling,
at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last.
Selected qualities of Foreign Wheat were in steady re..
quest, at extreme currencies, but all ether kinds were a
slow inquiry, at late rates. Malting Barley was in short
supply. The demand was firm, at very full prices.
Grinding and distilling sorts produced previorAs curren-
cies without difficulty. Superfine Malt, 13.411 old and
new, was cleared off at is per quarter more money,
owing to the short quantity brought for ward. The sale
for Oats was by no means active, Set prices were sup-
ported. Beans, Peas, Indian Ccan, Meal, and Flour,
sold at prevkus quotations.

Compared with that exhibited on several preceding
Fridays, the supply of Beasts on sale to-day was small,
and a very great deficiency was again apparent in its
general quality. The few Prime Scots, &c., in the
market moved off steadily, at prices fully equal to those
obtained on Monday. Otherwise, the Beef trade was
exceedingly heavy, at barely late rates. There were on
offer 380 Oxen and Cows, 2,860 Sheep at.d Lambs, 143
Calves, 48 Pigs from Holland and Germany, 8 Oxen
from Oporto, via Southampton, and 90 Scots from Scot-
land. The numbers of Sheep were small, yet the de-
mand for that description of stock was in a sluggish
state, at but little, if any, alteration in the currencies.
For Calves, the numbers of which were seasonably ex-
tensive, we have to report a firm inquiry, at our quota-
tions. In Pigs, very few sales took place, at unaltered
figures. Mitch Cows were heavy, at from 151 to 181
each, including their Small Calf.

BOROUGH HOP PLA.RHET.
The supplies of new Hops received here during the
present week have been extensive, and those on offer
this morning were consequently larger. The great
pressure for money has, hitherto, kept the speculators.
and indeed many of the merchants, wholly Out of the
market : hence the few thousands we have to report are
for immediate use—the brewers purchasing with great
caution, although they are generally bare of stock—at a
further reduction in the quotations of from 2s to 4s per
cwt. With yearling and old Hops we are well supplied,
but so little is doing in them, that prices are almost
nominal— The duty is called 180 0001. New Sussex
pockets, 31 14s to 4/ per cwt ; new Weald of Kent ditto,
41 to 4/6s. ; new Mid and East Kent ditto, 41 103 to a
12s.

REGISTRATION.—(THIS DAY.)
MARYLEBONE.
The Revising Barr ist er, F. Bailey, Esq., sat in the
new vestry rooms attached to St. Pancras workhouse,
for the revision of the list of voters for the district of
St. Pancras.
The number of claimants were 50; of which 10
were from the Eastern division, 7 from the Southern,
6 from the Western, and 27 from the Northern divi-
sion of the district.
Not the slightest case of general interest came on
up to the time of our going to press.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY)
IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—John Smith, a shabby-
dressed fellow, was placed before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with stealing an antique China clock, the
property of Mr. Richard Woolcott, 40, Lisle-street,
Leicester-square.
John Russell, general dealer, 5, New-street, Co-
vent Garden, stated that between seven and eight
o'clock on the previous evening he was in Lisle-
street, when he saw two men enter the shop of Mr.
Woolcott, and look at some prints near the door.
The prisoner was outside, looking in at the window.
The two other men appeared to engage the attention
of the lad who was in the shop, and at that moment
the prisoner rushed into the shop and took from off
an ancient cabinet the china clock now produced.
As the prisoner was leaving the shop witness laid
hold of him, but he got away and ran as far as
Sidney's-alley, where he dropped the clock. Wit-
ness got hold of him again and detained him till a
constable came up, when he gave him in charge.
Richard Woolcott said he was a dealer in ancient
articles of furniture, &c., and resided at 40, Lisle-
street. The clock produced was his property, and
worth about 3/. He saw it safe in his shop at seven
o'clock last night, and could positively say that it had
not been sold to any one.
Police-constable 61 C said he was on duty in
Leicester-square on the preceding evening, when he
heard the cry of police proceed from Sidney's. alley.
On going there, he saw the prisoner struggling with
first witness, who gave the prisoner into custody for
stealing the clock.
The prisoner, who admitted the charge, was com.
mitted for trial.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
Edward Driscoll, a coalheaver, was charged with
assaulting and injuring Mary Donovan, a girl only
fourteen years of age.
The
mother of the unfortunate girl stated that the
injuries were inflicted on her daughter by the pri-
soner on Wednesday, the 22d of last month. She did
not witness it, but as far as she could gather from her
daughter's account, the prisoner, who lodged in the
house, came home rather intoxicated, and first beat
his own wife, and on her daughter remonstrating
with him, he knocked her down, kicked her dread-
fully, and almost broke her back over a stool, the
consequence of which was she was confined to her
pillow ever since, and gradually grew worse, till now
there was little hope of her recovery, and the prisoner
was accordingly
given into custody.
Mr. Henry _Ellison, surgeon, deposed that he was
called in to attend the prosecutrix's daughter on
Wednesday last. O n examining her there were no
discolourations visible, but as a week had elapsed
they might have disappeared.” There was a swelling
between the two " scapula, which might have been
caused by being knocked over a stool. She was also
suffering under intense mental excitement. She was
at present in great danger of her life, arising from
injured and diseased lungs.
Mr. YARDLEY inquired if there was any other
