-tIARKET NEWS.- (T HIS DAY.)
CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDA Y
The present week's arrivals of English Wheat being mode-
rately good, viz., 3,220 quarters, the stands were fairly sup-
plied with samples. Although the attendance of buyers was
small, selected qualities of bath red and white sold steadily,
at fully Monday's quotations. In all other kinds exceedingly
little was doing at barely late rates. Foreign Wheat, the
show of which was by no means large, met a very slow in-
quiry, yet the holders would not sell except at very full
prices. The receipts of English Barley being on the increase,
the demand for all descriptions was heavy, at the late decline
in value. Very little Malt was on offer, yet the trade was
heavy at previous quotations. 'With Oats we' were scantily
supplied, while the trade was firm at extreme figures. Beans,
Peas, and Flour dull, at previous currencies. Upwards of
16,000 barrels of Flour have come in this week.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
William Smith alias Long was indicted for stealing a hand-
kerchief, the property of William Capol.
It appeared that the prisoner was observed by a constable
of the F division, named West, to whom he was known as a
thief, to pass along Pickett-street, Strand, with a black
handkerchief round his neck, and in about half an hour
afterwards return with one of a different colour, and of a far
snore valuable description. He then took him into custody,
and upon inquiries found that the prosecutor, who resided
at Hammond's Hotel, had had his pocket picked while pass-
ing through the Strand.
Mr. Capol identified the handkerchief, and
Mr. PAYNE, who appeared on behalf of the prisoner, called
a witness as to character, but his evidence appeared to the
Assistant-Judge of such a contradictory nature that he
ordered him to leave the witness-box with a reprimand.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and several previous
convictions having been recorded against the prisoner, he
was sentenced to ten years' transportation.
The next prisoner, who bore the same popular cognomen,
was indicted for stealing a pair of boots, the property of
Thomas Steel.
The prisoner was observed by the prosecutor to snatch a
Pair of boots, which hung near the shop-door, from a peg,
and run off with them.
A verdict of Guilty was returned, and the Learned As-
at94.l4T-JUDGE sentenced the prisoner to three months' im-
prisonment with hard labour.
George Henry Salmon was indicted for stealing a picture,
the property of Richard Lancaster Swallow.

The policeman who had the conduct of the ca produced
;Pie picture in court, the subject of which was the "Country
The treatment of it was original in the extreme, ad ."
indicated in the artist's mind no very high ideal of
Trorshipful grace or beauty. It was taken up and scanned
oy a very full bench of county magistrates with an apparent
curiosity, which, by some, perhaps, very remote analogy,
caused a titter in the body of the court.
The prosecutor was the proprietor of a public-house in
Stepney, called the York Minster, in which the prisoner was
seen on the morning of last Sunday week. On Monday the
Painting was missed, and the police succeeded in tracing it
t 6 a person who became possessed of it by purchasing the
duplicate from the prisoner.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was
sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour.
James Black, and his, wife Jane Black, were indicted
for stealing bed clothes from their ready furnished lodging,
under circumstances which showed that it was sheer dis-
tress which induced them to do so.
A verdict of Guilty was returned against James Black,
and of Acquittal in favour of his wife, who entreated in
piteous terms when the Learned Assistant-Judge was about
to pronounce sentence upon her husband, that " it might be
divided amongst the two."
He was sentenced to a month's imprisonment.
