MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE-FRIDAY.

A very limited quantity of English Wheat has been
received fresh up to our market this week, coastwise as
well as by land-carriage. To-day the show of samples
of both red and white was small. Selected qualities,
which were very scarco, moved off steadily, at prices
fully equal to those paid on Monday last. In the mid-
dling and inferior kinds a very moderate business was
doing, at late rates. Only 11,410 quarters of Foreign
Wheat have come to hand; yet the supply of that article
on offer this morning was good. Prime samples were
in ready demand, at extreme rates of value. Otherwise
the trade was firm, at full prices. For most kinds of
Barley, especially malting, we had a firm inquiry,
at fully late rates. The show of all kinds was small.
Malt ready for delivery was firm, and prices were well
supported. The forward sales were trifling. Although
the supply of Oats was small, that grain commanded
very little attention, yet the factors refused to accept
lower prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Meal as
last advised. The top price of the best town-made Flour
Was 48s per 2801ba.

SMITHFIELD.
Our market was heavily supplied with Beasts, owing
to which, the unfavourable state of the weather for
slaughtering, and the thin attendance of buyers, the beef
trade ruled excessively heavy, at, in most instances, a
decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The show of
foreign stock was on the increase. There were 149
Beasts in the market from Spain. The supply of Sheep
was somewhat extensive, the time of year considered.
All breeds were a very dull inquiry, and prices were
from 2d to 4d per Sibs lower than on Monday. The
highest figure for Downs was 4s 10d per 81bs. Calves,
the supply of which was good, were a mere drug, and
quite 4d per Sibs lower. In Pigs next to nothing was
doing, at barely late rates. Mile Cows were selling at
from 141 to 171 each, including their small calf.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT._

(Before Mr. Justice MAULE And Mr. JusticeNVlGEnum.)

CHARTIST TRIALS.
The trial of Mullins, the Chartist, was resumed this
morning, at 10 o'clock.
The examination of George Davis, which was com-
menced yesterday evening. was proceeded with this
morning.—The prisoner was present at a meeting held
on the 11th of August, and made a motion that the
Chartists of Clerkenwell should turn out and take part
in the ,outbreak. The meeting was adjourned to a beer-
shop in the Edgeware-road, where thirty delegates met
the same evening, and among them the prisoner, who
was appointed treasurer of the sub-committee. That
meeting was adjourned to the Orange Tree on Monday,
the 14th, when the prisoner again attended. On that
occasion he moved that every delegate should return to
his locality, and select four men who were willing
to do anything. 'That motion was carried, and a
deputation was appointed to wait on the engine-
drivers of the Notth-Western Railway to as-
certain if they would join the Chartists. The
meeting adjourned to the Lord Denman on the fol-
lowing evening. On the Monday they met accordingly,
and the prisoner was present, and was one of the sub-
committee appointed to consider the course to be pur-
suo,., The sub-committee withdrew for about an hour,
and on their return Mullins addressed the delegates, and
said that the sub•committee had determined that the
outbreak should take place on the following (Wednes-
day) evening, and that he would take the Seven Dials
district. Tri-coloured bands were distributed, which
were to be worn by the delegates. It was also deter-
mined that the firemen should meet Ritchie at the
Orange Tree on the following evening at seven o'clock,
and the pass-word was to be " Justice."
Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—During the two or
three months previous to the 16th of August witness
had only sold two guns and one sword, but had never
instigated any one to insurrection or to make
use of arms. Had never urged persons at
Greenwich to arm. Was a shoemaker, a dealer
in old books. and a broker, and in the latter
capacity he bought and sold fire-arms. Witness joined
the Chartists for the purpose of protecting life and pro-
perty, and to defeat the views of the Chartists. Wit-
nests:was in the pay of Government before he joined the
Chartists, and was ashamed of being called a spy. Wit-
nese had the pair of pistols he now produced for some
time by him, and had often offered them for sale, but could
not dispose of them. He had proposed to put them up
to be raffled for. Had never told a person of the
name 'of Ward, that he could furnish him and others
with arms, or attempted to get up a club for the purpose
of purchasing arms: He generally had pistols about
hint loaded and capped. Had Bever told Ward that he
was going to London to look out for the points of at-
tack. Nor did he ever say to a person named Robin-
son that he had been to a house in London that was full
of cartridges, and that any person could be supplied
with them. sever urged a person of the name of Shuddy
to purchase a musket, but Shuddy asked him the
price of one. ' Had paver said to a person
named Munday that he should like to have the b—y
old Duke of Wellington before him to try a pair of
pistols. Had never told any one that he was a Chartist,
and would wallow.bp-to his knees in blood for his fellow•
creatures.
Mr. Justice MAULS—Do you, Mr. Parry, think it
necessary to pursue further the course of cross-exami-
nation you are now pursuing? These parts of the ques-
tions -you are putting appear to me irrelevant to the sub-
ject; and only calculated to occupy time for no purpose.
Mr. PARRY observed that he had decided on the
coarse he .was pursuing after great and deliberate con-
sideration, and he considered the questions he was put-
ting most-material for the prisoner.
Mr.'Justice MAULE was of a totally different opinion.
Mr. PARRY felt bound, in duty to the prisoner, to
ask the jury to take a very different view, of the matter.
Mr. Justice MAULS—You had better go on Mr. Parry,
and pursue your own course.
Mr. PARRY felt bound to pursue the course he had
chalked out for himself, although he confessed he did it
with reluctance after the intimation he had recived from
the Learned Judge. He bad pursued the same course
before Mr. Baron Platt and Mr. Justice Williams, who
never intimated to him that he was pursuing an im-
proper or unnecessary course, and both those Learned
Judges took down every question and answer.
'Mr. Justice MAULE said that the instructions to
counsel frequently contained matter that was wholly
immaterial, and therefore it was that he (Mr. Justice
Maule) thought that the Learned Counsel, on its being
intimated to him from the Bench that the course he was
Pursuing was unnecessary, would at once not proceed
with it further. But he thought, after what the Learned
Counsel had stated, he had better pursue his own course.
Cross-examination continued—Never offered to sell a
Pike-head to any one. He was paid 21. a week by the
poliee,'and expected to be remunerated by the Govern-
ment for what he had done, and the losses he had sus-
tained. In answer to many other questions, the witness
gave precisely the same answers he gave on the trials of
Cuffey, Fay, &c.
Joseph Thompson, sergeant of police, had searched
the„r,r premises of a, person named Rose, in Clare-court,
ury-lane, on the 11th of August. Rose was present.
-Voned several plans there, and a receipt for making
combustible materials. Among the plans were those of
the Seven Dials, the City-road, Clerkenwell, and two
other localities. The witness produced the different
Papers he found at Rose's house, which were read, and
proved to be in
the hand-writing of the prisoner by a
witness of the name of Eagles and his son.
Superintendent Pearce—Had gone to the Orange Tree
public-house, in Red Lion-street, on the 16th of August,
where '
he arrested Ritchie and ton others, and found
quantity of combustible balls and other materials there,
Irilichhe produced.
