MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)I

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our market
since Monday have been moderate, the show of samples here
was very small. Owing to a demand having sprung up for
France, the sale for wheat of home produce was active, at an
advance in the currencies obtained on Monday of quite 2s per
quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. The
imports of foreign Wheat have been small, via., 4.200 quar-
ters, nearly the whole of which were disposed of afloat for
the French markets at is to '2s per quarter more money.
Many of the holders refused to sell even at that amount of
improvement. Nearly 14,000 quarters of foreign Barley have
arrived this week, the finest qualities of which met a ready
inquiry for grinding and malting purposes at Is. per quarter
advance in the quotations. Malt was in fair request at very
full prices. The supply of foreign Oats was great; yet a
good business was passing in them at 6d per quarter more
money. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were quite as
dear.

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts here was large,
or upwards of 1,000 head, we have to report a steady though
not to say brisk demand for that description of stock, at fully
Monday's quoations. There were in the market 310 Oxen
and Cows, 630 Sneep, and 75 Calves, from Holland and Ger-
many. The numbers of sheep were comparatively small.
Most breeds moved off freely, but the highest figure for the
best old Downs, in the wool, did not exceed 5s 4d per 816 s.
From the Isle of Wight the arrivals were small, viz., 20
Sher:p and 18 Lambs. Although the total supply of the
latter was large, the trade was firm, and in some instances
the rates had an upward tendency, the best Down qualities
producing 6s 4d per 81bs. Calves were a slow inquiry, at
barely late rates; but Pigs were quite as dear, with a full
average number on offer. Milch Cows were dull at from 161
to 191 each, including their small calf.

ROL

'LS' COURT-(THIS DAY,

LADE V. BLAKE.
This was a petition of the trustees of the Leeds Free Gram-
mar School, praying for the approval of the Court to certain
alterations in the constitution of the charity, the disposal of
a portion of its funds, and directions to the Master to frame
a Bill to Parliament to enable the petitioners to carry out
their views. It appeared that in 1552 Sir Robert Sheffield
bequeathed certain lands to the sustentation of this school.
By several inquisitions of the Commissioners of Charitable
Uses, held in the reign of James 1., Charles 11., and George 11.,
it appeared that there were certain funds applicable to the
purposes of this charity. The case has been before the
Court for some time, and had been referred to the Master,
who found that the total funds of the charity amounted to
2,0771. 10s. 2d. per annum, which, after deducting 300/. for
necessary expenses per annum, lett a net annual sum of
1,7771. 103. 2d. for the purpo. s of the charity, and that
2,3001. Consols, &c, were in Contt to the credit of the trus-
tees of the charity. The Master further found that it would
be desirable to erect a new school-room, &c., the present
being too small to accommodate the increased number of
scholars.
Mr. TURNER was heard in support of the petition.
The prayer of the petition, with some modification, was
granted.
