MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
1 very limited quantity of English Wboat was re-
ceived fresh up to our market this morning, and
the stands were scantily fillrd with samples. Fine
dry qualities commanded a steady sale, at fully
Monday's quotations. In the middling and in•
ferior parcels, comparatively little business was doing.
Fine Foreign Wheat moved off readily, other kinds
!slowly, at late rates. The supply of Barley
being large, that article was heavy, and, in some
instances, the prices bad a downward tendency.
Malt was a slow sale, but not cheaper. Although
the quantity of Oats on offer was good, the
demand was firm, at previous quotations. In Beans
and Peas next to nothing was doing. Indian Corn and
Flour were in good request, at extreme currencies.

CLERKENWE DAY).
John Hawkins was charged with horse stealing.
Mr. William Watson said he was a greengrocer,
residing in Kingaland, and about a fortnight ago he
put his horse out to grass, in the evening, in a field
at the back of his house, and in the morning it was
gone. Information having been given to the police
the horse was eventually traced to the possession of a
Mrs. White, a horse-slaughterer in Whitechapel,
who gave such an accurate description of the prisoner
that the police, who knew him, soon had him in cus-
tody. He was arrested at the Victoria Theatre, and
seemed to be expending money very freely, and when
taken to Mrs. White she fully identified him as the
man who sold the horse to her.
A certifieate of a former conviction for felony
having been put in against him he was fully com-
mitted for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
William Rowland, Rober't Rowland, and Henry
Rowland, brothers, were charged with riotous and
disorderly conduct, and the latter with violently as-
saulting an officer in the execution of his duty, at the
Britannia Theatre, Hoxton Old-town.
William Butler, a constable at the theatre, stated
that his attention was last evening called to the pri-
soners, who had clambered from the gallery into the
boxes. Witness expostulated with them, but they
resolutely refused to go, and the prisoner Henry
Rowland fastened upon him, kicked him, and at-
tempted to bite him. Assistance came, and the pri-
soners, with a great deal of difficulty, were ejected
from the theatre and conveyed to the station-house.
William Leman, one of the cheque takers, corrobo-
rated what the last witness said.
The prisoners attempted to prove that they had paid
the box prices, although they had by mistake got into
the gallery, on finding which they certainly did make
the best of their way to the boxes.
Mr. HhadmiLL severely admonished William and
Robert Rowland, and discharged them, but said he
should fine the prisoner, Henry Rowland, in the sum
of 205., for the assault upon the officer, or 10 days im-
prisonment.

WAK

WAKEFIELD, MONDAY EVENING,
This exciting event, which came off this day, has
fully realised the anticipations of its active promoters,
both as to the character of the sport and the interest
manifested by the inhabitants of the locality. It is sup-
posed that there could not have been much less
than fifty thousand persons on the course. The
races were run over a fine country, in the vi-
cinity of the far-famed Sandal Castle Hill, whence the
Parliamentary army under Oliver Cromwell bid de-
fiance to the Royalists, some two centuries ago. The
sport was exceedingly good; the weather favourable for
the time of the year; and the course not to be com-
plained of. The "knowing ones" have been grievously
disappointed in the issue. The stewards were the Right
Hon.the Earl of Strathmore and W. 11. De Rodes, Esq.
