MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
This week's arrivals of English Wheat have been on
a moderate scale, and, for the most part, of very middling
quality, arising from the damp weather. To-day se-
lected parcels of both red and white were in fair request,
at fully Monday's quotations; but all other kinds were a
dull sale, at barely stationary prices. Upwards of
13,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand
since Saturday. For that article we had a very slow
inquiry, yet late rates were mostly supported. All kinds
of Barley were heavy. In value, however, we have no
further decline to notice. The Malt trade was in an
inactive state, at barely previous currencies. Oats,
Beans, and Peas were a dull inquiry. Indian Corn,
Meal and Flour, were quiARteRIVA as de

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOULBURN.)
IN RE COLUMBINE.
This was a meeting by adjournment for the last
examination of the bankrupt, who was solicitor to the
Direct London and Exeter Railway Company. The
case was adjourned on the last occasion, under an
order of the Lord Chancellor, until a petition then
pending before the Court had been heard.
Mr. Columbine now said that the petition had not
yet been heard, and it had been agreed on between
the solicitors on both sides that a further adjourn-
ment should take place, in order to complete some
arrangements to compromise all matters in dis-
pute, and to supersede the commission.
The SOLICITOR to the assignees said Mr. Colum-
bine was quite correct on the subject.
His HoNona inquired whether the accounts had
been now perfected, as those given in previously were
incorrect.
Mr. COLUMBINE said they had been deposited with
the official assignee ; they had been very carefully
prepared, and extended over a period of six years.
It was ultimately arranged that the meeting should
be adjourned until the 10th of March next.
In a former report, founded on the old accounts, an
error was made by which the Earl of Aylesbury and
Viscount Cantilupe were made debtors, they are in
fact creditors, the former for 1,2451. 7s , and the
latter 1,4901. The Duke of Buckingham is also a
creditor for 1,1001. On the other side the London
and Exeter Direct Railway Company are inserted
amongst the " good debts," for expenses and servioes,
2,8121. 10s., and for bill of costs 3501. Sir C.
Oxenden, Bart., 2,381/. The Earl of Mexborough,
5501. The Hon. A. Capel, 1,6001.; and railway
shares value 2,0001., &c. The total amounts of debts
to creditors amount to 17,3641.55. 6d. Profits 11,6001.
Losses, 13,6371. 17s. id.

In the case of this bankrupt, an auctioneer, in
Regent-street, Mr. Cooke applied for a day to be
named for the consideration of the certificate. The
case had been adjourned pending a suit between the
assignees of Messrs. Coutts and Co., bat it had not
yet been heard.
The case was adjourned for two months.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURt.
Before Mr. Justice PATTESON and Mr. Justice

MAULE.)
The second edition of the calendar was issued this
morning, by which it appears that 52 additional pri-
soners have been committed since the sessions com-
menced, namely, 12 from London, 33 from Middle-
sex, 1 from Essex, and 6 from Surrey.
John Jenkins, 29, a hair-dresser, and Joseph Wells,
a smith, were placed in the dock, charged with a
nameless and disgusting offence.
The two prisoners were very respectable in appear-
ance. The charge broke down during the examina-
tion of the first witness, a policeman, who, it appeared,
induced the prisoner Wells to make a statement which,
under the circumstances, the Court would not receive.
The jury, under the direction of the Learned
Judge, Acquitted both the prisoners on the capital
charge.
Mr. Ballantine appeared as counsel for the prose-
cution, and Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prisoner
Jenkins.
John Jenkins was then again indicted with an as-
sault in attempting to commit a nameless offence.
Two witnesses were examined in support of the
charge.
After some consultation with Mr. Clarkson
and Mr. Ballantine, it was agreed that the jury
should find the prisoner Guilty of a common as-
sault ; and
The COURT sentenced him to twelve months' im-
prisonment.
BURGLARY.—John Phillipson, alias Wilson, and
George Anderson, alias Alfred Fear, the former a
tailor, and the latter a shoemaker, were indicted with
breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Mr.
Oliver Bright, and stealing two dressing-cases, one
ring, two purses, one bracelet, two sovereigns, and
l other moneys of Major-General Fleming.
Mr. PAYNE conducted the prosecution, and stated
the case to the jury. From the statements of the
Learned Counsel, it appeared that on the 17th of last
month the two prisoners were discovered in the house
of Major-General Fleming, in Baker-street, by one of
the servants, of the name of Mary Fitzsimon. She
instantly alarmed the inmates, and the prisoners
ran off.
Mary Fitzsimon identified both the prisoners, as
did two other witnesses, as the parties in the house.
The policeman who took Phillips into custody dis-
covered upon him alarge black bag, a lucifer box and
other things.
The lady of Major-General Fleming having heard
her maid cry out, ran down stairs, upon which she
encountered the prisoner Anderson, who ran off. Was
certain of his identity. Knew nothing of the other
prisoner.
The policeman who took Anderson into custody at
a coffee-house, found upon him among other things, a
key that opened the area gate of the house in Baker-
street, where the robbery was committed. Witness
had known Anderson for two years as Alfred Fiar.
Several witnesses were called, all of whom swore to
the prisoners.
Major-General Fleming identified the property
produced as that of his lady.
Mary Bright, the wife of Mr. William Olive
Bright, the proprietor of the house No. 11, Baker-
street, corroborated the evidence that had been given
relative to the robbery. None of the persons in her
employ ever went up the stairs to the General's
apartments in an evening. Any person attempting
to get into the house by way of the area must have
passed through the kitchen, where there were two
servants, who must have seen them.
Both the prisoners strongly denied the robbery.
Phillipson said that he heard the cry of "Stop thief,"
and on going to see what was the matter, he was
taken into custody. He had been to take some things
home he had been repairing as a tailor.
Anderson said he had been in a coffee-house, kept
by a person named Rowbottom, in Portland-street,
Newport-market, on the 17th of December, from six
o'clock to twelve, and called the waiter at the coffee-
house to prove it, but on cross-examination he failed
to do so.
