MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
Since Monday scarcely any English Wheat has come
fresh to hand. The show of samples here was exceedingly
small, while the demand for all kinds was very firm, and in
some few instances a trifle more money was obtained for
selected qualities. Nearly 10,000 quarters of foreign Wheat
have come to hand, yet that article was firm, at fully Mon-
day's improvement in value. The show of Barley and Malt
was small. All descriptions were in moderate request, at
late rates. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn moved off
slowly, at previous quotations. The Flour trade was steady,
and the best town-made qualities produced 80s per 2801bs.

His Imperial T HIEiGriftam;DITICE CONSTANTINE OE RUSSIA.—
al Highness the Grand Duke Constantine, at-
tended by a numerous suite, visited the Regent's Park Bar-
racks on Monday morning, for the purpose of inspecting the
Marquis of Londonderry's Regiment, the 2d Life Guards.
The Grand Duke subsequently paid a visit to the Tower.
Returning through the City, his Imperial Highness visited
the Guildhall ; his intention was to have made a private in-
spection of the great hall only, but the identity of the Grand
Duke having been ascertained by some of the civil officials,
nisi imperial Highness was invited to inspect the library and
other apartments devoted to the purposes of the Corporation.
The,Grand Duke called at St. Paul's Cathedral on his re-
tam, .but could not obtain admission, the sacred edifice
Jaeing, :c.z it wo stated, under repair. Yesterday his Impe-
rial iiidetzeke-Lt4=led the Duke of Devonshire's day fete at
Chiswick..
The complaint with regard to the practice of pay-
ing double commission to the London brokers connected with
the hide trade was finally considered by the Court of Alder-
men yesterday, by whom a resolution was come to that it is
not expedient to proceed further in the matter. The present
custom, however, being at variance with the literal condi-
tions of the bond exacted from the brokers by the Corpora-
tion, the necessary and common sense step of appointing a
committee to consider what alteration should be made in the
existing bond, and in the regulations with regard to brokers
for the future, has been adopted. This committee, it is un-
derstood, are desirous to receive the advice and assistance of
ftliparties who may feel interested in the subject.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Railway Shares experienced a general decline, and with a
dull market.

We have no late ship arrivals to-day, but the news front
the continent is still of a favourable tenour, in respect tc.
the crops.
So many cases of hardship, connected with the obtainment
of places of trust, have come under our knowledge.
during an experience of some years, that we consider
there were scarcely any institutions more needed than such
as would afford to parties receiving appointments a ready
and equitable means of obtaining guarantees. In some re
marks by Mr. James Knight—" Private and Public
Guarantee for Persons Appointed to Places of Trust Con-
sidered"—the case is clearly stated, The writer ob-
serves :—" Until the year 1842, surety for the good
conduct and faithful discharge of the duties of persons
so engaged, was provided entirely by the bonds of
private individuals—viz., friends or relations. But
the subject of surety since that pet iod has, owing to the
ic-
crease and character of the institutions of almost every de-
scription which have come into existence, involved an extent
of national importance which has led to the adoption of
public guarantee, under the bonds of a public company, duly
authorised for that purpose.
" But the cases in which private bonds have been vitiated
have led to results which demand attention; and it unfor-
tunately, and not unfrequently happens, that the most *nes-
pected events will in one hour, destroy the private
bond of its value, Among these may be mentioned
death, bankruptcy, &c. In such cases the calamity not only
concerns the party whose misfortune may have rendered the
bond invalid, but the assured, who has to seek among his
friends for a substitute to succeed to this responsible trust.
"But there are other reasons why persons requiring surety
are inconvenienced, and their views impeded, if not frus-
trated. It has of late years become a customary stipulation
by persons of all profession and trades, upon entering into
partnership, that no member of the firm shall be permitted,
upon any pretence or consideration, to become security for
the fidelity of others."
It is gratifying to know, therefore, that in February last the
Lords Commissioners of the Treasury determined to accept
the security of public companies on behalf of parties engaged
in the service of the Crown, and that the system has been
extended so as to be available to parties receiving appoint-
ments abroad.
The Corn Market to-day is dull, at about previous rates.
In the English Funds business has been brisker to-day
Consols have realised 87% to 88% for present transfer, and
88% % for account; being improved rates. Exchequer-
bills are 3s. to 6s. premium; New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. are 881% to 88%. Bank Stock realises 195.
The Foreign Securities have been quite neglected. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been quoted 21, and the Three per
Cents. 33% %. Portuguese Fuur per Cents. have realised
29% to 30,A. Mexican Bonds are nominal. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half-per- Cents. have been 584. The inquiry becomes
now more frequent, Will the Portuguese dividend be paid ?
Railway Shares have been rather better.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster to-
day.

PERRY V. MIDDOWCROFT.

Our readers will recollect that this case was ordered to
stand over till to- day, in order to give the parties an oppor-
tunity of seeing if they could not come to some arrangement
as to the future course to be adopted.
Mr. BETMELL, this morning, at the sitting of the Court,
proposed the trial of certain issues, but these not being ac-
ceded to, after some discussion,
The oup CHANCELLOR ordered the judgment of the Mas-
ter of the Rolls, overruling the exceptions, to be reversed; the
matter of the exceptions to stand over, and gave liberty to
the parties to file a bill.

DOBSON V. LYALL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case,
dismissing the appeal with

THE DEAN OF ELY V. BLISS.
The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave ju.igment in this case,
directing tho same case that had been tried before the Court
of Exchequer to be brought before the Court of Common
Pleas.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

CROSS I. CROSS.

The arguments in this cause were concluded to-day.
His LORDSHIP delivered judgment. This was a will in
which nothing was clear, and he did not believe that any
two persons could be found who would come to the same
conclusion in reference to it. He considered that upon the
true construction of the will it must be considered that the
widow of the testator was entitled to both his real and per-
sonal estate. With respect to the argument that had been
raised that morning with respect to the construction of the
word " advancement" which occurred in the will, the
meaning of that word, in the acceptation of the Court, was a
gift beforehand of what a party was entitled to afterwards.
That being the case, it followed that it was a gift subject
to legacies. Then came another part of the question,
the concluding paragraph of the will commencing with the
words " And lastly." Ele considered that that was to be
construed with reference to the preceding clauses, and not
with respect to the whole will. The only exception to that
was what related to Mrs. Bush's three children, and that
created some doubt as to that interpretation. Upon that
point he thought he was not called on to deter-
mine then. He would, under all the circumstances of the
case, make a declaration on this point in the sense in which
he had just stated. There was no question arising about the
maintenance of the child of Mr. Cross, and he thought Mrs.
Cross must allow her aged parents 501. a year. He thought
she ought also, though not compelled to do so, to pay the
legacies of Mrs. Bush's children.
On the application of Mr. Turner, his LORDSHIP directed
that the cost of all parties should come out of the estate.

VICE-CHANCERY--(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
THE EXETER AND CREDITON RAILWAY COMPANY V. BULLER.
The arguments in this motion for dissolving the injunc-
tion were resumed and concluded to-day.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment, ordering the in-
junction to be continued, and refusing the motion fur its dis-
solution with costs.

BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.
)
THE QUEEN V. LEAMAN. —CERTIORA --ASSAULT UPON A
BOY BY A SCHOOLMASTER.
Sir J. BAYLEY applied to the Court on behalf of the Rev.
J. Iraman, the head master of the Grantham Grammar-
school, for a certiorari, to bring up an indictment preferred
against him at the Borough Sessions of Grantham, for an
assault upon a boy while in the act of punishing him for some
misconduct. It appeared that the schoolmaster, Dr. Iraman.
had been summoned by a gentleman named Payne, for an
assault upon his son, who happened to be one of Dr. Ira-
man's scholars. When the case came on to be heard, the
justices were of opinion, that as the parties stood in the rela-
tion of master and scholar, and as the assault mu-

plained of was made for the purposes of discipline,
that the case should go to same of the superior
courts, and an indictment was preferred at the
Borough Sessions. Great excitement prevailed in the bo-
rough, a committee had been appointed to inquire into the
rules established by the head master, and a petition had been
presented by the Bishop of Lincoln praying for inquiry into
the same subject. The applicant considered, that in conse-
quence of the strong feeling awakened with reference to the
case in the borough, he would not have a fair trial, so he
accordingly made an application to the Court
Rule granted.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
James Fisher, a ruffianly looking fellow, was charged by
Mr. John Harvey, landlord of the Phoenix Tavern, Stacey-
street, Soho, with obtaining four pots of porter, and refusing
to pay for them.
Complainant stated that on the previous afternoon, about
four o'clock, the prisoner, with four others, entered his house,
and called for four pots of porter. Not knowing the character
,f the men, the beer was supplied to them. Witness was
subsequently informed that the prisorer and his companions
belonged to a regular gang of what are termed " munches,"
that is fellows who are in the haoit of visiting various public
houses, and after partaking of refreshments, refused to pay,
end invariably assaulted the persons who obstructed them in
their nefarious proceedings. Witness, therefore, demanded
payment for the porter, when he was assailed with the
4rossest abuse imaginable. The prisoner's companions made
their escape, but witness detained the prisoner till a police
constable arrived and took charge of him,
Police constable 124 F, said he was on duty in Stacey-
street, on the previous afternoon, when he was called by last
witness to take charge of the prisoner, for refusing to pay for
some porter which he had partaken of. On their way to the
station-house the prisoner kicked him on the legs several
thm-s, and attempted to knock him down.
Lester, the deputy gaoler, recognised the prisoner as be-
longing to a gang who have long been in the habit of vic-
timising the various publicans and coffee-houses in the
metropolis.
The prisoner, who treated the charge with the greatest in-
difference, was committed to the House of Correction for
one month, and hard labour.

THAMES.—(THIS DAY.)
THE STEPNEY AILTaDER.—Henry Jones Harrison was
brought up for final examination, charged with a murderous
assault upon the person of Ann Ford.
It will be remembered that about a fortnight since Harri-
son, in a fit of intoxication, kicked and:beat the poor creature
in a most brutal manner, and although she was immediately
placed under the care of Dr. Cleland, from whom she received
every attention, she lingered till Sunday morning last, when
she expired.
The evidence this day merely corroborated the particulars
which have already appeared in The Sun of the 2d instant.
' Mr. BALLANTINK particularly questioned the principal
witness, Mrs. Ince, the landlady of the house where the pri-
goner and the deceased lodged, as to any cause of quarrel
that might huve existed, but she declared that she did not
know of any.
Dr. Cleland, in addition to his former evidence, stated that
on a post-mortem examination of the body he found the peri-
toneum very red and inflamed; this was immediately over
the part where it was stated in evidence that the prisoner had
kicked her. There were few external marks of violence.
The gall bladder was ruptured, and the body being otherwise
in a healthy condition, in his opinion, this was the primary
cause of death.

The prisoner made no defence, and
Mr. BALLANTINE said he should commit him to take his
trial on the capital charge, and directed Mr. Symons, the
chief clerk, to take the depositions.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve
o'clock.
Long's Estate Bill was read a second time and ordered
to be committed.
