MARJUST NEWS.--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.)
Since this day se'nnight, up to Saturday evening, the receipts of
English Wheat for our market, coastwise as well as by land carriage
and sample, were on a very moderate scale—viz., about 4,503 guar-
ters,; while the receipts of Barley, Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were
also on a very moderate scale. Of Irish and Scotch grain the supply
was small, and by no means adequate to meet the wants of the
dealers. However, the imports of Foreign Wheat and Flour, as well
as most other articles (nearly, or quite, the whole of which have been
landed in bond), were on a full average scale, the time of year con-
sidered. Fresh up very little English Wheat came to hand from any
quarter, consequently the show of samples of that article was limited ;
owing to which, and the increased attendance of both town and
country millers—most of whom appeared short of stock—the trade
was firm, at higher prices. We quote the finest qualities of White
two shillings, and the secondary parcels one shilling, higher. As to
red Wheat, the sale for it was not quite so active, yet the currencies
improved Is per quarter, and very few parcels of any description re-
mained unsold at the close of business. The general condition of the
Wheats was tolerably good, though, of course, several weathered
parcels were on offer. As very little foreign Wheat has passed the
Customs for home consumption during the present year, there was a
great scarcity of that article here this morning, since the holders
were again firm, and would not sell, except at high prices ; as those
were submitted to in in very few instances, we can make no altera-
tion in our general figures ; yet the trade may be considered a steady
one. For Corn under ,lock there were several speculative inquiries, but
the high prices demanded by the importers prevented much business
from being transacted, yet the rates.were quite as high as last week.
We had a very large supply of English Barley on show. Malting
qualities were, therefore, in good request, and the turn dearer ; and
the value of grinding and distilling sorts was well supported. The
arrivals of Malt have been on a moderate scale since Monday last.
Ware parcels moved of freely, and prices were well sustained. In

other kinds of Malt comparatively little was doing. Only about
12,000 qua-ters of Oats—including the foreign supplies—have come
to hand. Nearly the whole of the late large supplies from Ireland
having been disposed of, the quantity on sale to-day, was
small, Superior sweet qualities .commanded a firm inquiry,
at a trifle more money ; while the middling and inferior kinds were
quite as dear, with a steady Inquiry. We understand the supplies
on their way hither from Ireland are comparatively small. Beans,
the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly, at late rates.
Although the quantity of Peas on offer was net to say large, the in-
quiry for them was heavy, at previous quotations. Flour dull, yet
prices were firmly maintained.

SNITIIPZELD.
The past week's imports of live stock into the metropolis have been
moderately good, viz., 30 Oxen and 119 sheep from Rotterdam, GO
Cows from Harlingen ; and 70 Oxen and Cows from other Dutch ports,
in, for the most part, fair average condition. We had on offer 220
Oxen and Cows, together with 190 Sheep, recently arrived• from the
Contixent. For most qualities of each discription of foreign stock
the demand was steady, and prices had an upward tendency. The
bullock droves from our own grazing districts, fresh up this morn-
ing, were very small, yet there was a great improvement in qnality,.
especially in that of the Short Horns from Norfolk. Ilse atten-
dance of buyers being somewhat numerous, the Beef
trade was steady, at, in most transactions, an advance
in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of 2d per
8 lbs., the very primest sorts producing 4s 6d per Sibs., and at which
a good clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex. and
Cambridgeshire we received 950 Scots, home-breds and short-horns ;
from the northern counties, 300 short-horns ; from the western and
midland districts, 500 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from other
parts of England, 250 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 80 Scots.
The numbers of Sheep were again limited, however the sale for
them was active, at Friday's enhanced quotations, the primest old
Downs selling readily at 5s 8d per Sibs. There were about 2,500 shorn
sheep in the market, which were disposed of at 8d per Ribs beneath
those in the wool. From the Isle of Wight 19 Lambs came to hand
per railway. The Lamb trade may be considered steady, at prices
varying from 5s 8d to 7s per 81bs. The supply of Calves was small,
while the Veal trade was firm, at Friday's .prices. Pigs moved off
freely, and last week's quotations were well supported.

Although the arrivals of, slaughtered ineaTtipTo these markets
during the past week have been somewhat on the increase, they
have proved by no means seasonably extensive. The supplies
of London•lEilled meat have been but moderate, owing to which
the general demand has ruled firm, and, in some instances, the quota-
tions have had an upward tendency. About 30 carcases of Dutch
Beasts and 60 ditto of Sheep have found buyers, at full prices. The
former carried a large quantity of infernal fat, but the latter were
somewhat different in that respect.

WOOL.

Since this day se'nnight the imports of Wool have consisted of 20
bags from Hamburgh, 328 ditto from Bilboa, 103 ditto from Smyrna,
and 149 ditto from Odessa. Privately, a fair average amount of busi-
ness is doing in most descriptions, and prices are generally supported.
TALLOW.
The price for yellow candle Tallow of fine quality is very firm at
435, and for ordinary quality on contract 42s 9d ; there is but little
on hand duty paid, and the holders are unwilling to pay the duty
until the question is bottled. In new Tallow there is very little doing,
there are buyers at 41s 9d in bend, but no sellers under 425. Town
Tallow 43s net cash. -

This Committee met again to-day, in Room No. 7; Mr.
Strutt, chairman.

LONDON, V7.11/LVt7=CE, LEAPIUSIGTON, ANn

7:IDDEIZMINSTER..

This case, which was part heard on Friday, was resumed.
Mr. COATES appeared for the promoters.
Mr, ELLICOMBE, jun., conducted the case for the opponents.
Several allegations against the plans and sections were
submitted. A. few of them were sustained, and others
abandoned.

The most important allegations against the line were to the
effect that the gfadients were not properly marked in figures,
in one case in a distance of 22 miles, and in another in a dis-
tance of 42 miles.

Mr. COATES argued against the allegations, but
The Committee decided the allegations to be sustained.
Mr. ELLICOMBE abandoned several similar allegations, in
consequence of their not having been properly stated in the
petition. Where the allegation was against public roads not
being shown, the petition merely said that "in the following
cases the P. R. is not properly marked on the plan."
The CHAIRMAN decided that such allegations were per-,
fectly unintelligible, inasmuch as P. R. might be read for
private roads.
A few other allegations were abandoned and some ad-
mitted.

The case was then gone throuh and
The CHAIRMAN said the standing orders had been complied
with, except in a few instances.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY')
(Before Mr. Commissioner Slizruzlllo
IN RE TOWNSEND.
This insolvent, who carried on business in
Hatton-garden, as a jeweller, came up for his final °lntel
He was opposed on the ground that he had been apP°
by the Court of Chancery as guardian to his childrenotheir
that he had applied the amount received by bun feercoo
benefit to his own use, and also hadnot rendered any

in his schedule. tbs
The insolvent said he was prepared to swear that sA bee
moneys he had received under the order of the Court ileurcieg
faithfully applied. The fact was, his wife had been I ate
apart with her children in different parts of the coustl'os
property being hers. On her death an order of cow .„,od
made, constituting him guardian, and he had to Or for
nearly all the money he first received in clothing they' to
some one in the country had taken away their clothes, Inds.
the hats and shoes. It cost 171. 10s. for carriage, and"-
for clothes. det
The Solicitor for the opposing creditor insisted that ,d to
the 24th section 7 and 8 Vict., an insolvent was bergaed
render an account:of all trust moneys, and that he Was
to pay all debts due before the time he took the trust*,,eocs
The Learned COMMISSIONER considered that in the °not
of a positive order to pay the back debts, a guardian sta'd as
bound to do so out of trust moneys like the present, °pea
the insolvent had distinctly sworn he had fairly dis

cbe, to
the money which had come to his hands, he was
his final order. It appeared that those debts were con trao

property. He considered it was not necessary to give 811
