MARKET NE W S.- (T

'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
F articles of home produce the receipts were very limited,
though of full average quality. From Ireland and Scot-
lend very little Grain carne 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 peal;
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 seeelts 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 qtiantity
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, aed prices receded quite 2s per
quarter. In qualities under lock or on board we heard
of no transactions. Several parcels of very fine Aus-
tralian Wheat 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 made in sales. For Malt there
was scarcely any inquiry. Chevalier parcels on the
spot were 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 Beaus, espee
cially foreign samples, the demand was in a very in-
active state, and in some instances the rates were not
supported. In 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 If sin-
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 4s to
4s 2d per Sibs, aad 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, Sc.; from other parts
of England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland,
SO horned and polled Scots. With Sheep we were tole-
rably well, but not to say heavily supplied. For all
breads 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 se'nnight the arrivals of country-killed
meat for 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 230 ditto of Pork. With meat slaughtered in the
metropolis we have been fairly supplied. Prime Beef,
Mutton, and Lamb have commanded a steady sale, at
full rates of currency. In the middling anti 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. •

These markets continue to be heavily supplied vtith
new Potatoes, the sale for which is steady, at from
41 10s to 6/ 6s per ton. The imports during the week
have consisted of 710 baskets from Rotterdam, 100 bags
from ilamburgbo and 400 baskets from Antwerp.

WOOL.
The public sales have at length been brought to a
conclusion. Out of the 32,000 bales brought forward,
about 20,000 were actually disposed of, at a decline in
the quotations of from ld to 2id per lb. Privately, so
little business has been doing that prices have ruled
almost nominal. The imports during last week were
353 bales from New Zealand; 2,500 ditto from Sydney;
417 ditto from Odessa; 310 ditto from Hamburgh; and
418 ditto from the Cape.

MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
Robert hump, a footman in the service of his Excel-
lency the Danish Ambassador, was brought before Mr.
Birwharu, charged with having obstructed Police-con-
stable Lowe, A gl, 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 i,riving out of their ranks, while the
company was leaving the house. While he vras in the
act of keeping the rank clear, a carriage belonging to the
Danish Ambassador was driven out of the raukF. Wit-
ness imrnediatoly 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 he 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' heath, and detained the carriage till another
constable arrived, when he tool: the prisoner to the
station.

Inspector Whale, C division, said ho took tho charge
on Saturday night, and having satisfied himself that the
defendant was in the service of the Danish Ambassador,
he Ist him (defendant) ,ait on his own recognizances to
appear at this coc"t this morning.
Mr. BINGHAM 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 WEATHEIL—Since Sunday, the present week
has been uninterruptedly fine bright weather, and it has
consequently been most propitious for the bay, whether
cut or uncut. The former, where it had been wet by
the heavy rain of Sunday, has been turned, dried, carted
home, and st:leked in good condition; and in this neigh-
bourhood, what hay had not been previoully cut, has
been rapidly brought under the scythe, and safely
housed. Throughout this neighbourhood, the crop
generally has been more than au average one; in some
instances heavier than for many years. In the south, it
is said, to be quite otherwise. The barometer has en
totally steady during the last few days; its variation
being from 30.35 to 30,10. 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 shade,—the highest point for some time
past. Yesterday, it was not higher than 74 or 75
degrees. The following is the telegraphic report nf wind
and weather at the places named, at seven o'clock yes-
terdsy 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; Lowestofre, 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-
chester Guardian.

isms; or MAN FISHERY.--"The herring fishery for
three or four days lust weel4," says Mona's Herald,
*‘ was very successful around Port St. Mary and the
Peel side. Seine of the boats on Thursday brought in
20 meaze each, and so ranging from that number to 12
113CaZr. The boats are not all out as yet, but all the old
fishermen are counting on a goad 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 11;.l caught ire, 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-
able loss of a number 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 Aided to have arisen
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 Orb 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 fur 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 Mlle; in London at 6,1,-d.) is to be
supplied under 5d., and tiro meat is to be furnished from
4d. to sd. a pound.—Observer.
L'UCK. FOR THE SUGAR MERCHANTS.—The duty
of 20s. on foreign muscovado sugar, under the old law,
fell on Thursday to 18s. ad.; 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,
in order to avoid the discriminative duty between clayed
brown and muscovado of Is. GI 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, at Ilishopwearmouth, as a sub-
stitute for the ancient public road, which has been ap-
plied to railway purpose:. The. bridge will be a great
accommodation to the public. —Durham Advertiser.
On the 22d ult. a double murder was committed at
Vitry, near Choisy-10-Roi, and was afterwards followed
by the suicide of the murderer. A gardener of that com-
mune, named Broux, had for some thin) had a criminal
connexion with the wife of a day-labourer, named Di".!io-
re:, although himself a married man. This being made
known to Broux's rife, she naturally reproached him
with it, and frequent quarrels arose between them, till,
en the 22d, he became so exasperated as to strike his
wife with 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.
IVith 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 dined.
The dinner over, they went out to walk in the fields,
and from that time were heard no more of
till the murder of Broux's wife was discovered, and
Di:dore 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 Diiiorde 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 Bronx 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 a la l'Anglais, with indications
that loft 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
house of Mr. William Scafe, relieving-officer, of Paterleoyn-
rnornieg, at the
bridge. The house is situate at a short
_distance
_f 1
the town, and we understand that Mr. Scare had re-
ceived a considerable sum of money the preceding day.
At the hour above named, while the family were all
asleep, three ruffians (navvies) effected au entrance at
the bedroom window, but the family, being aroused by
the noise, rushed from their beds, and while Mr. Scafe
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 cellar, 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. H made
