MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE_..WEDNESDAY
Since Monday scarcely any samples of English Wheat
have been received up to this market. To-day the
stands were very scantily supplied with Wheat of home
produce, the general quality of which was inferior, aris-
ing from the prevailing damp weather. The few fine
parcels on offer sold at full prices, but all other kinds
were much neglected. Fine foreign Wheats, though the
demand for them was by no means active, were quite as
dear. In °tilt r kinds so little was doing, that the rates
were almost nominal. All kinds of Barley moved off
slowly, but we san notice no alteration in value.
There were scarcely any buyers for Malt, the prices of
which article were barely maintained. Although the
supply of Oats was small, the Oat trade was heavy, at
last week's currencies. In all other Grain, as well as
Flour, scarcely any business was doing.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
This was the first seal after Miehaelmas term, but the
con tinned Indisposition of the Lord Chancellor prevented
his Lordship sitting in his Court in the Old Hall, Lin-
coln's Inn. We are happy, however, to state that the
answer to inquiries at his Lordship's residence this
morning was, that his Lordship was considerably better.
It is, however, generally supposed that his Lordship will
not sit before next term.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
His Honour the Vice• Chancellor of England beard
motions to day, it being the first seal after Michaelmas
term.

INJUNCTION.—BENTLEY V. ROGERSON.
Mr. BETHELL applied this morning at the sitting of
the Court ex parte on behalf of Mr. Bentley, the emi-
nent publisher, for an injunetion against the defendant
to restrain him from pirating a work, the property of
the plaintiff. _ _

From the statement of the Learned Counsel, it ap-
peared that in the work so well known to the public
under the title of Bentley's Miscellany, of which the
plaintiff was not only the proprietor, but under the
statute, had the copyright of several of the articles con-
tained in it, the plaintiff had published a tale by Mrs.
Romer, entitled "The Fête of Peterhoff." The defen-
dant, in a work of which he is the publisher, and which is
edited by Camilla Toulmin, called The New Montlly
Belle Assemblee, published the whole, word for word, of
the tale published by the plairtiff in his Miscellany,
stating it to be written by Mrs. Homer, instead of Mrs.
Romer. The piracy being of so glaring a nature, the
plaintiff was compelled, for the security of his own pro-
perty, to apply to the Court for an injunction to restrain
the publication of the work by the defendant.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Of course, under the cir•
cumstances stated, we must stop the work of Homer.
Injunction granted.
THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE BIR-
MINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY.

This case was specially appointed for this morning.
Oar readers will recollect that in the course of the last
term his Honour overruled the demurrer put in by the
defendants to the plaintiffs' bill, and in consequence of
that decision, the object of the bill being to obtain an
injunction to restrain the defendants from entering into
any agreement with the London and North-Western
Railway Company to sell their railway to that com-
pany, the case now came before the Court upon motion
for that injunction.
The case appears likely to occupy several days.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.)
The Court was engaged the whole morning in trying
an action (Ward v. Key), for the infringement of a
patent for the improvement of drums. The case, which
will probably last the whole day, is only of interest to
the parties concerned.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN RE WALKER..
This bankrupt had carried on business as a licensed
victualler, in Fitzroy-street, Fitzroy-square, and to-day
was appointed by adjournment for the bankrupt's iappli•
cation for his certificate.
The solicitor :to .the assignees applied for a further
adjournment on the ground that certain issues which
might affect the certificate had to be tried in the Com-
mon Pleas.

Mr. LAURENCE, who appeared for the bankrupt, did
not oppose the application, but the bankrupt considered
it a bard case that these frequent adjournments took
place; the certificate had been adjourned from time to
time, since March, solely for the trial of these issues
which might or might not affect the question.
His HONOUR further adjourned the hearing till the
10th instant.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the RECORDER and Mr. Alderman HUGHES.)
THE CASH OF GARDNER AND HOLLIDAY.—Henry
Gardner, aged 31, Thomas Holliday, aged 25, described
in the calendar as merchants, were indicted, with two
other persons named Loup and Seagur, with conspiring
to defraud several persons of a great quantity of cordage
and other property. The particulars of the case have
been already detailed fully in the Mansion House police
reports of 1 he Sun.

.
Mr.
Bodin& and Mr. Huddlestnne conducted the pro-
secution. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. Robinson appeared
for Gardner and Holliday. Mr. Clarkson defended
Loup, and Mr. Ballantine was the Counsel for Seagur.
Gardner and Holliday pleaded Guilty. The two other
prisoners, who had been at large upon bail, pleaded Not
Guilty.
The trial occupied the whole of the morning, and will
not be terminated until a late hour, there being forty
witnesses to examine. It will conclude the session.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
Adolphe Frezte, a young German, who has been twice
remanded on a charge of having been found in Os-
borne's Hotel, Adelphi, under very suspicious circum-
stances, was again brought before Mr. Henry this
morning.
Mr. HENRY, having no doubt that the prisoner was
an impostor, and entered the hotel for an unlawful pur-
pose, would commit him to prison for two months.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Edward Gough was placed before Mr. Hardwick,
charged with stealing from the residence of Lord Ash-
burton a damask table cloth, value two guineas.
Mitchell, 26 C, said, about half-past five o'clock yes-
terday afternoon he was on duty in Prince's-street, Soho,
when he was called into the shop of Mr. Young, the
pawnbroker, in that street. On entering the shop, one
of the young men informed him that the prisoner had
offered a valuable table cloth in pledge; but, seeing that
it was marked with a coronet, he refused to take it in,
and detained him until witness was sent for. Witness
asked the prisoner how he became possessed of thecloth?
He replied that he had had it in his possession for these
ten years, and that his wife would tell him the same.
On going with him to his wife, she denied all knowledge
of the cloth. Witness then made further inquiries, and
discovered that it had been stolen from Lord Ashburton.
lie then took the prisoner into custody.
One of his:Lordship's servants said the prisoner had
been employed to do the odd jobs in the house. He had
known him for several years, and always found him to
be honest up to the present transaction.
Inspector Whale, of the C division, said he had seen
his Lordship this morning, and his Lordship would de-
cline prosecuting the prisoner. His Lordship wished
him to state that he left it entirely in the magistrate's
hands.
Mr. Ihnnwicx told the prisoner that he ought to be
thankful for his Lordship's leniency, for if his Lordship
