MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

---...---.
CORN EXCHANGE WEDNESDAY.
The arrival' .3,'. English Wheat for our market, coast-
wise and by Am...carriage, have been on a very limited
scale; heDee, the supply on offer to-day was trilling.
Owing to yae large imports of foreign, the demand for
all kinds of Wheat of home produce was again exces-
sively heocY2 ar'cl, to have effected sales, a further decline
of from is to 2, per quarter must have been submitted
to. 11l foreien Wheat next to nothing was doing,
and the currencies were quite is per quarter
beneath those obtained on Monday. The imports
have amounted to nearly twenty thousand quarters.
We had a ffut average quantity of foreign Barley on

show, but that of English was miserably small. Th
trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. In
Malt next to nothing was doing, at barely late rates.
Oats, Beans, Peas, Tndian Corn, and Flour, were to be
purchased on easier terms.

SECONDARIES—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
JOSEPHS U. ENGLISH.
The plaintiff in this action is a marine store dealer in
Aldgate, and a well-known bill discounter; defendant
is a licensed victualler at Hammersmith. The action
was brought to recover the sum of 3/. for pewter pots
delivered.
The ease lasted a considerable time, but was of very
little general importance, the action evidently being
for " co:•ts." It appeared by the evidence that
the goods were taken to plaintiff, who dis-
puted the price, and refused to take them
Plaintiff then told a man named Bolton to
take the money and give a receipt; on a subsequent day,
he did so, but the writ had been issued. Defendant
wished the affair to be settled, and paid Bolton and took
his receipt. The question was, had Bolton, in taking
the money, acted as agent for plaintiff' or defendant. Ile
appeared to be now in the position of a stake-bolder•
The Learned SECONDARY said there had been a great
deal of legal acuteness in the affair, but the jury as
simply to say whether the money had been paid by de-
fendant to an authorised agent.
Verdict for defendant.

IVIARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Edward Cannan, a potboy, in the employ of Mr. C.
Payne, of the Feathers Tavern, Warren-street, Fitzroy-
square, was brought before Mr. Hardw icke, charged
with stealing a silver watch, gold chain, two coats, one
pair of trous:rs, one satin scarf, one silk handkerchief,
arid three sovereigns, the property of Mr. Thomas Big"
nell ; also a pair of boots, the property of his master.
The prosecutor stated that he was lodging in Idr,i
Payne's house. The prisoner was the potman, "'—
was in the habit of calling witness every morn-
ing. On Friday morning last witness was arouse('
trom his sleep by hearing a noise at his bed-
room door. He got out of bed and looked at his
watch, which was lying on the dressing table. At that
time it was about half-past four o'clock. Witness find-
ing that the noise was not repeated, retired to bed gait'.
and slept till about six o'clock, when he got up and pro-
ceeded to dress himself. On looking on the table for
his watch he was surprised to find that some person bad
entered his room and stole it. Witness then looked for
his clothes, which he had worn on the previous day, but
could not find them; on a further search he missed th°
articles named in the charge, the whole of which he ha"
seen safe when he awoke at four o'clock. From infor-
mation he subsequently received from the prisoner's
fellow-servant, witness was induced to give him into
custody.
Lucy Scarlett said she was housemaid in the servicS
of Mr. Payne. On Friday morning last, witness and
the prisoner were at breakfast in the kitchen. Witness„nell
said to the prisoner that she was sorry for Mr. Big
loss. The prisoner replied, " What's the odds, he kali
plenty more money, and can buy more clothes." i_N-Vtiv.
ness fancied by the prisoner's remarks that he f
something about the robbery, but did not tell any one 0_
her suspicions at the time. On Monday, the raid
told her that he would run away, only ho was Afraid
master would think he had committed the robbery.
He
subsequently told her that he could tell his master some'
thing more, if he would be civil to him. She then in-
formed Mr. Bignell of her suspicions against the prisoner.
Police-constable Read, 108 E, said he received cbarl
of the prisoner. He searched him at the station, but

the robbery. Witness bad since made
inniquiries, _
found that the prisoner had been seen conversation
with a man who is well known to be a notorious bad cha-
racter. This man was heard to say to the prisoner.;
" that he would make one for the robbery. Ile
also ascertained that the man was a companion of thee_
prisoner's, and that since the robbery
a new suit of clothes. Witness added that he traced the
man to a coffee-house, where he had of to leavebe
duplicate of a watch in payment for a breakfast. If tt_a
prisoner was remanded, he had no doubt but that

Robert Rayrnaur, a pot-boy in the service of mr:
Morgan, of the Plasterers' Arms, Little Claren%u__
street, Clarendon-square, was charged with em
beZzl
various sums of money, the property of his master.
It appeared that the prisoner had been some time m
the prosecutor's employment, and Mr. Morgan having
ascertained that the prisoner had embezzled several sons
of money, gave him into custody. At the present
ment he had only one case in readiness, that of Mr.
Wood, 84, Seymour-street,
Euston-square, from whomthe prisoner received seven shillings and three-

witnesses to attend before the closing of the court this
evening, their evidence would taken.

Saviour's Workhouse.
The porter stated that at ten o'clock last night, the
prisoners, with their children, applied for admission into
the house; the casual ward
and every portion of the
house being crowded, they were supplied with food, and
told to go elsewhere. They commenced abusing him, arid
created such disturbance that he was compelled to give
them into custody.
In reply to Mr. SECKER, the prisoners said they came
from Roscommon, and were compelled to quit their
homes owing to the fever which prevailed there.
Mr. SECKER—It appears you are married--what has
become of your husbands? They replied that their
husbands promised to meet them in London, but Oey
had not as yet come; and added that if they kill
so ul
what they would have had to undergo here they
have remained in Ireland, and run the risk of the fever..
Mr. SECKER said, the defendants were told the vrork-
house was full, and they ought to have gone elsetvb ere
instead of creating a disturbance there. He, to
how
should not punish them this time, but allow them
make the best of their way to the country, where ther
might be able to obtain some employment at haymaking,
The prisoners were accordingly discharged. ever,

the property of one of the opposing landowners.
A clause was, after some consultation, tendered to the.

the preamble of the Bill was delared to be inoved.•

FORD AND BRUTON.
The Committee met at the usual hour.
Mr.Cocanunx proceeded to reply on behalf of the wil°l°
of above-named schemes. The Learned Counsel, in intr;
e
ducing his address, stated that he felt great pleeser?„l,..
congratulating the Committee upon the speedy teriewhe
tion, upon this, the fiftieth day of the inquiry,
protracted proceedings which had taken place with
,„^„d
spect to those Bills. The arguments were arrenei„,
under three distinct heads, and were enforced witb tlO
Learned Counsel's usual clearness, ability, and n;
quence. Under the first head ho proceeded to coleoe
upon the evidence which had been adduced, to
show the absolute necessity which existed for mil!,
accommodation in and through the district betw.,„eell,Qrs-
lisbury and Exeter. The claims of the South-e 516
Railway to supply this district, on the grounds of its
superiority over, and the competition which it W"
the
afford, with the existing or proposed extensions of
Great Western Railway, were then mostforcibly brought
before the Committee. The attention of the Conunitten
was next drawn to the consideration of the questio
whether any of the collateral questions which had beene
raised by the competing companies in Me course of
,the
in order
inquiry were such as to induce the Committee to with,
hold its sanction to that scheme which, under the second
head, he had endeavoured to prove was the most
entitled to obtain that sanction ; and, relying
upon the weight of evidence which had bean
already adduced, the patience, the judgment, and the
impartiality of the Committee, he had not the least Wig-
giving as to the result of its decision.
