THE MONEY MARKET

AND

OMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

(-ATI, Two O'CLOCK.

This being Whit Monday the Stock Exchange was
closed according to custom, and the City, generally, pre-
sented quite a holiday appearance. In the discount mar-
ket the supply of capital has been tolerably good. There
has been but little inquiry for accommodation, and three
months' paper has been easily negotiated at 2i to 3 per
cent.

_
Owing to the continued drought, and to the parched
appearance of the country, the grain trade at Mark-lane,
to-day, has been characterized by much firmness. Not
withstanding that in consequence of the thin attendance
business has been by no means brisk, wheat has been very
firm, and has reached an improvement of 2s. per quarter.
Spring corn shows an advance of is. per quarter.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—(Tins DAY.)

The June sessions commenced this morning before the
Lora Mayor, the Recorder, and the civic authorities.
The calendar is a very heavy one, and contains no less
than three charges of wilful murder, and six attempts to
commit the capital offence.
The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, remarked
upon the very many serious crimes of which the calendar
was composed, and then proceeded to rerer to the horrible
murder that had lately taken place at Chelsea.
The prisoner's name is Miller, and after they had heard
the evidence in support of the indictment it would be for
them to say whether there was a prima fade case against
him, in which case they would return a true MIL Ano-
ther lamentable case which they would have ,to consider
was that of a young man named Redhead, who
stood charged with the wilful murder of his
mother-in-law, and in their decision they would
have to be guided by the evidence that would
be laid before them. The other charge of murder
was that against a prisoner named _ Reeves, but
here it was alleged that death had been the result of ac-
cident, and it would be for them to say whether they were
of that opinion. There was a very serious indictment against
a young man, Shelly, who stood charged with attempting
to murder M. C. Buxton, M.P., shooting him, andanother
case of great public importance was that with which two
young men named Boulton and Park stood indicted. The
case had excited a very great deal of public attention,
and it was of the highest importance both to the public
and the prisoners that the real nature of the case should be
clearly proved. He felt sure they in the discharge of their
duty would be uninfluenced by anything whichthey might
either have read or heard. There was great difficulty in
the case, and some doubt with respect to the law applic-
able to it, but their duty would be to ascertain whether
there was sufficient evidence to put the prisoners on their
trial, and, if of that opinion, they would return atrue bill,
leaving the other matters to be disposed of by another
tribunal. After referring to other cases in the calendar,
some of which, he regretted to say, were of a very shocking
description, the Recorder said he was sure they would
discharge their duty in a way satisfactory to themselves
and the country. In the event of any assistance being re-
quired he need hardly tell them that the Court at all times
be ready to render them every assistance. The grand
jury then retired.
