MARKET

HIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat, Malt, and Flour for
our market last week coastwise were on a full average
scale, even the time of year considered. Of all other
articles of home produce the receipts were very limited,
though of full average quality. From Ireland and Scot-
land very little Grain came to hand. Collectively the
receipts from abroad were good, viz., 4,602 quarters of
Wheat; 7,085 quarters of Barley; 18,122 quarters of
Oats; 1,167 quarters of Beans; 690 quarters of peas;
935 quarters of tares; 2,746 quarters of linseed; 41
quarters of rapeseed; 37 quarters of mustardseed; 114
quarters of sundry seeds, together with 130 sacks and
56 barrels of Flour. Since these returns were made up
several cargoes of Oats have come in from Germany.
Fresh up to-day rather an extensive supply of Wheat was
received from Essex; and a moderate one from Kent, Suf-
folk, and-Cambridgeshire. By land carriage the quantity
was on the increase, and the show of samples was larger
than on any previous market day during the whole of the
present year. This circumstance, together with the con-
tinued fine weather for the growing crops, and the com-
paratively small attendance of buyers, had a very de-
pressing influence on the demand for all kinds of English
Wheat, at a decline in the quotations of Monday last of
from 2s to, in some instances, 3s per quarter. The mar-
ket closed heavily, and a clearance of the stands was not
effected. The quantity of Foreign Wheat brought
forward was far from extensive; nevertheless, that ar-

ticle was a mere drug, and prices receded quite 2s per
quarter. In qualities under lock or on board we heard
of no transactions. several parcels of very find Aus-
tralianW heat were offering at from 55s to 56s per quarter.
The few samples of English Barley on the market were
quite neglected, consequently nominal in value. Foreign
Barleys, the supply of which was moderately good,
moved off heavily at Is. per quarter less money, with-
out any progress being mado in sales. For Malt there
was scarcely any inquiry. Chevalier parcels on the
spot ',fere mostly held at full prices, but the value of the
secondary qualities had a downward tendency. We were
very scantily supplied with English, Scotch, and Irish
Oats, but the show of foreign exceeded the wants of the
dealers, hence the trade ruled heavy, and prices suffered
an abatement of fully 6d. per quarter. For Beans, espe-
cially foreign samples, the demand was in a very in-
active state, and in some instances the rates were not
supported. Iu Peas next to nothing was doing, but we
have no actual decline to notice in the quotations. The
sale for Indian Corn and Meal was dull in the extreme.
Flour, both English and foreign, was heavy on somewhat
easier terms.

At the northern outports about 2,000 head of each kind
of stock have arrived, mostly from Rotterdam and Ham-
burgh, in very middling condition. With foreign Sheep
we were somewhat heavily supplied to-day; but the
numbers of Beasts and Calves on offer from abroad were
comparatively small, yet their general quality was tole-
rably good. For the time of year, the supply of Eng-
lish-fed Beasts on sale was tolerably good, while the
quality was a fair average. Notwithstanding the con-
tinued warm weather, the Beef trade, owing to the good
attendance of town and country buyers was steady at
fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the prices paid on
this day se'nnight; the primest Scots selling at 45 to
4s 2d per Sibs, and at which a clearance was effected
without difficulty. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,000 Scots and
short horns; from the western and midland counties,
800 short-horns, Devons, runts, &c.; from other parts
of England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland,
80 horned and polled Scots. With Sheep we were tole-
rably well, but not to say heavily supplied. For all
breeds the demand was steady, and last week's prices
were supported in every instance. The general quality
of the Sheep was good. The supply of Lambs was but
moderate. On the whole, the Lamb trade was firm, at
full rates of currency. There was a much better in-
quiry for Calves, but we have no improvement to notice
in value. Pigs were in short supply and heavy demand,
at barely late rates.

Since this day so'anight the arrivals of country-killed
meat fur these markets have been tolerably good, the
time of year considered, viz.' 160 carcases of Beef, 400
ditto of Mutton, 400 ditto of Lamb, 120 ditto of Veal,
and 930 ditto of Pork. With meat slaughtered in tho
metropolis we have been fairly supplied. Prime Beef,
Mutton, and Lamb have commanded a steady sale, at
full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior
kinds, as well as Veal and Pork, only a moderate busi-
ness has been doing, at barely late figures. About 900
carcases of foreign meat have been on offer, in very
middling condition.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Robert Young, a footman in the service of his Excel-
lency the Danish Ambassador, was brought before Mr.
Bingham, charged with having obstructed Police-con-
stable Lowe, A 81, in the execution of his duty.
The complainant stated that on Saturday night, about
twelve o'clock, he was on duty near her Majesty's
Theatre, in the Haymarket, on purpose to prevent
coachmen from driving out of their ranks, while the
company was leaving the house. While he was in the
act of keeping the rank clear, a carriage belonging to th,
Danish Ambassador was driven out of the ranks. Wit-
ness immediately went up to the coachman and ex-
plained to him that it was contrary to his orders to
allow him to pass, and that the order of the rank
must be preserved- The defendant, who was on the
box with the coachman incited the latter to flog his
horses and drive over him. Witness got hold of the
horses' heads, and detained the carriage till another
constable arrived, when ho took the prisoner to the
station.

Inspector Whale, C division, said he took the charge
on Saturday night, and having satisfied himself that the
defendant was in the service of the Danish Ambassador,
he let him (defendant) out on his own recognizances to
appear at this court this morning.
Mr. BlNGussi said he (Inspector Whale) had acted
perfectly right in so doing. He should now direct the
constable to take the defendant to the Danish Ambas
sador's, and explain the nature of the charge against the
defendant to his Excellency, who would deal with the
case accordingly.

THE WEATHER.—Since Sunday, the present week
has been uninterruptedly fine bright weather, and it has
consequently been most propitious for the hay, whether
cut or uncut. The former, where it had been wet by
the heavy rain of Sunday, has been turned; dried, carted
home, and stacked in good condition; and in this neigh-
bourhood, what hay had not been previously cut, has
been rapidly brought under the scythe, and safely
housed. Throughout this neighbourhood, the crop
generally has been more than an average one; in some
instances heavier than for many years. In the south, it
is said, to be quite otherwise. The barometer has been
totally steady during the last few days; its variation
being from 30'35 to 30'40. The temperature has been
gradually increasing till Thursday last ; yesterday it
was somewhat lower, and the barometer also declining
a little, it was not unlikely that we may have some rain
shortly. On Tuesday, the thermometer reached 70
degrees, on Wednesday it rose to 77 degrees, and
on Thursday, early in the afternoon, it reached 80
degrees in the sbade,—the highest point for some time
past. Yesterday, it was not higher than 74 or 75
degrees. The following is the telegraphic report of wind
and weather at the places named, at seven o'clock yes-
terday morning:—Glasgow, E.NE. very fine; Edinburgh,
N.E. hazy; Liverpool, N.W. fine; Manchester, N.N.W.
fine; Norwich. E.S.E. very fine; Yarmouth, N.E. very
fine; Lowestoffe, E.S.E. foggy; Birmingham, N.W. fine;
Gloucester, N. by E. very fine; Colchester, S.E. very
fine; Gosport, N.E. fine; Southampton, E. fine.—Man-
cheater Guardian.

MASTER ALEXANDER RANCHERAE'S CONCERT.—
This talented young musician, who is not yet nine years of
age, but whose performances have acquired for him a
high fame in Vienna, (his native place) and in the other
principal cities of Germany, gives a Matinee Musicale
on Wednesday next, at 3, Foley-place, Portland- place,
which will, no doubt, be fully attended.
ISLE OF MAN FISIIERY..—" The herring fishery for
three or four days last week," says Mona's Herald,
" was very successful around Port St. Mary and the
Peel side. Some of the boats on Thursday brought in
20 meaze each, and so ranging from that number to 12
meaze. The boats are not all out as yet, but all the old
fishermen are counting on a good season for their
business, judging from the signs. Considerable quan-
tities have been shipped by the fresh buyers, who pur-
chase wholesale at 4s. and as low as 3s. 6d. a hundred
The retail prices may be quoted at the rate of 24 for a
shilling.
ALARMING OCCURRENCE ON BOARD A STEAMBOAT.
—Much alarm was excited among the passengers on
board the Fire King, Gravesend steam-boat, last even-
ing, when between Woolwich and Greenwich, by a re-
port that the vessel had caught fire, occasioned by a
large quantity of steam and hot ashes bursting up the
hatchway. An immediate cry was raised for boats, and
several put off, but the captain refused to stop the.
vessel, lest in their hurry to escape, the passengers
might overcrowd the boats, and thus cause the inevit-
,A.Ac lesa_nf_e_nnenber of lives. On arriving at Green-
wich, however, the machinery broke down, and the
vessel was towed to the pier, where the passengers all
landed in safety. The accident is stated to have arisei
from the forcing of one of the stays of the boiler which
had become overheated, and thus allowing the steam
and water to escape into the furnace.
A military encampment has been ordered to be im-
mediately formed at Kersall-green, near Manchester, to
be composed of the entire of the 9th Regiment, to which
a detachment from another regiment of the line will be
added, to make up 1,000 men. It is in contemplation to
establish two other camps of a similar nature, the second
to be in Yorkshire, and the third near to some part of
the southern or western coast. The troops are to be
drilled in all sorts of field and camp exercise, and have
with them all the appliances and means for a campaign,
easily moveable at an hour's notice. It may not be
uninteresting to mention the very cheap terms on which
contracts for the provisioning of these troops have been
taken. From the 16th of July to the 30th of November
the 41b. loaf (now selling in London at 6id.) it to be
supplied under 5d., and the meat is to be furnished from
4d. to sd. a pound.—Observer.
LUCX. FOR THE SUGAR AIEILCIIANTS.—The duty
of 20s. on foreign muscovado sugar, under the old law,
fell on Thursday to 18s. 6d.; and the new law not hav-
ing come into operation, merchants have paid the duties
upon nearly all the stock of sugar in the port of London,
is order to avoid the discriminative duty between clayed
brown and muscovado of 13. 6d. The operation will put
somewhat about 20,0001. into the pockets of the mer-
chants, at the expense of the revenue.—Shipping Gazette
—[We hear that one of the principal brokers in this city
has paid duty, for the purpose above stated, to the ex-
tent of not less than 15,0001.—Bristol Mirror.]
The trustees of the Earl of Durham have com-
menced building freestone pillars for a suspension bridge
across the Rector's Gill, ut Bishopwearmouth, as a sub-
stitute for the ancient public road, which has been ap-
plied to railway purposes. The bridge will be a great
accommodation to the public. —Durham Advertiser.
On the 224 ult. a double murder was committed at
Vitry, near Choisy-le-Roi, and was afterwards followed
by the suicide of the murderer. A gardener of that com-
mune, named Bronx, had fur some time had a criminal
connexion with the wife of a day-labourer, named D6ie-
-42, although himself a married man. This being made
known to Broux's wife, she naturally reproached him
with it, and frequent quarrels arose between them, till,
on the 22d, he became so exasperated as to strike hie
wife a ith a hatchet and kill her. This deed done, he
quietly went to his barber and got shaved. After
this, he remained some time in conversation at the shop,
during which he contrived to secrete one of the razors.
With this weapon in his pocket, he went to his
adulterous mistress, and took-her with him to Maisons-
Alfort, where they entered a traiteur's, and diiird.
The dinner over, they went out to walk in the fields,
and from that time were heard no more of
till the murder of Bronx's wife was discovered, and
Wioriie became alarmed by the absence of his. In •
formation being laid before the magistrate, search
was made for the two absentees, and it ended in the
discovery of the body of the woman Daioree with her
throat cut, and several deep wounds in her arms,
received no doubt in defending herself: The razor
taken from the barber's shop was lying by her
lifeless corpse. As the insurrection in Paris had
in the meantime broken out, it was impossible for
the officers of justice to take any effectual steps for
the discovery and arrest of the murderer. It was after-
wards learnt that Brous was seen fighting on the side
of the insurgents, at a barricade in the Faubourg St.
Marceau, and two days ago his body was found in
the Seine, near the Port 4 la l'Anglais, with indications
that left no doubt of his having committed suicide.
Lord Glengall gave notice on Friday in the House

_ .
of Lords of a motion respecting the seditious clubs or.
ganized in Ireland, for Thursday next.
FEMALE VALOUR.—A daring attempt at burglary
was made about one o'clock on Tuesday morning. at the
house of Mr. William Scafe, relieving-officer. of PateleY-
bridge. The house is situate at a short distance from
the town, and we understand that Mr. Scale bad re-
ceived a considerable sum of money tho preceding day.
At the hour above named, while the family were all
asleep, three ruffians (navvies) effecte beann entrance
b at
the bedroom window, but the family, g aroused y
the noise, rushed from their beds, and while Mr. Scale
ran for assistance his wife and daughter, aged 21, and
a boy, had a most violent struggle with one of the
party, and acted a truly valiant part. They laid the
scoundrel prostrate on the floor, and the heroic daughter
knelt upon his body, and at the same time so firmly
grasped him by the collar, that he roared out she was
choking him. By the help of her mother and the little
boy she securely held him down until help arrived, when
they properly secured him. Ills two companions made
. their escape. The prisoner has given up their names,
