MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week,
coastwise as well as by land-carriage and sample, have been
on a very moderate scale ; hence the show of samples of
that grain here to-day was small. Although the attendance
of buyers was by no means large, the demand was very
steady, and Monday's advanced quotations were readily sup-
ported. In Foreign Wheat, the supply of which on offer
was small, very little business was transacted, yet the holders
were very firm, and would not sell, except at extreme cur-
rencies. Barley was in short supply and ready inquiry, at
fully late rates. The Malt trade was firm, but we can notice
no improvement in the value of that article. Oats, Beans,
Peas, and Flour moved off slowly, at unaltered currencies.

Captain Bucklaud, No. 41, Upper Park-street, Euston-square,
saying that they bad been emplyed to remove the Captain's
luggage to the railway. The servant at once allowed them
to take away two heavy trunks and a portmanteau that
were standing in the hall ready for removal, containing a
quantity of valuable property. On the Captain's return with
the garter he had engaged the robbery was detected, and is
supposed to have been committed by two men whom the
Captain refused to employ in its removal.
