MARKET NEWS.-(THIS

CORN-EXCHANGE—MON,DAYL .
The arrivals of all kinds of English Grain, as well as
Flour, for our market, last week, coastwise, as well as
by land carriage and sample, were on a very limited
scale. Those from Ireland and Scotland were trifling
in the extreme. The imports from abroad consisted of
4,705 quarters of Wheat ; 5,773 quarters of Barley ;
4,872 quarters of Oats ; 660 quarters of Beans ; 164
quarters of Peas ; 210 quarters of Tares ; 644 quarters
of Linseed ; 198 quarters of Rapeseed ; 125 quarters of
sundry Seeds; and 300 barrels of Flour. Fresh up, to-
day, from Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, as well as from
all other quarters, the receipts of English Wheat were
unusually small, but of excellent quality. As the show of
samples was trifling in the extreme, and the attendance of
Town and country buyers (most of whom were short of
stock) was good, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of
home produce was steady, at fully, but at nothing
quotable beyond, the prices obtained on this day
se'nnight, and at which a good clearance was effected.
There was a slight improvemont in the inquiry for the
best parcels of fine Foreign Wheat, at very full prices.
In the middling and inferior kinds—the supply of which
was tolerably extensive-- a moderate business was
doing at late rates. The quantity of Barley brought
forward was very limited; hence all descriptions moved
off steadily, and late currencies were well supported.
Scarcely any Malt was on show. Parcels on the spot,
as well as for forward delivery, were firm, but
without
any improvement in value. From all parts the fresh
arrival of Oats was small. Most kinds were held at is
per quarter more money, but the firmness of the holders
somewhat checked sales, as it is generally
expected the
blockade of the Elbe will be raised in a few days, and
that, consequently, the grain vessels will be cleared for
England. Dealers purchased cautiously, at, in some in-
stances, 6d per quarter more money. The sale for Beans
was somewhat firm, but we can notice no alteration in
the currencies. Peas, especially grey
was trifling. Indian Corn and Meal without animation.
In Flour exceedingly little was doing, at last Monday's
prices. and maple, were

The arrivals of slaughtered meat from Scotland and
all parts of England during the week have been on a
very limited scale; but the supplies on of killed in the
metropolis have been seasonably extensive. Mutton and
Lamb are in good request, at very full prices. Other-
wise the trade is in a sluggish state, at barely late figures.
About 500 carcases of foreign meat, slaughtered in
London, have been on offer.

COIIL'VION PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
'Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before the
CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.)
DROWN V. WRIGHT.

This action was brought to recover compensation in
damages for injury sustained by the plaintiff in conse-
quence of having been thrown from a scaffolding through
the alleged negligence of the defendant's servant.
It appeared that the plaintiff was a journeyman brick-
layer, and in January last year he was employed with
others in repairing a building in Bridle-lane, Golden-
square, in front of which a scaffolding had been erected
for the purpose of allowing the repairs to be made. A
quantity of rubbish, arising from the repairs, was de-
posited in a coach house adjoining the building, and the
builder who was carrying on the alterations directed
his men to allow any one to have the rubbish who
chose to cart it away. It appeared that a cart
belonging to the defendant was brought for this
purpose, but whether by the direction of the defendant
or not it did not appear, and as it was leaving
the premises the hinder part of it came in
contact with the upright poles of the scaffolding
and threw them outwards, and the supports of the other
portions of the scaffolding having given way, the work-
men were thrown to the ground. The plaintiff had his
left thigh fractured, and was otherwise severely injured,
and it was proved that he remained two months in the
hospital, and was unable to pursue his occupation for
three months afterwards.

for the
Mr. Sergeant Byles appeared plaintiff, and
Mr. Crowder for the defeant.

For the defendant it was contended that it had not
been shown that the carman who drove the cart was
acting at the time under the direction of the defendant,
and that the scaffolding was not properly and securely
fixed, as it ought to have been in a public thoroughfare.
The JUDGE summed up.
The jury retired, and after being absent some time
returned into court with a verdict for the defendant, but
they found that the scaffolding had been properly fixed.

Mr. COLE called the attention of the Learned Com-
missioner to the fact that it was not unlikely, in the
course of the proceedings, that a question might arise
with respect to joint debts—debts incurred by Messrs.
Jullien and Barry during the continuance of their part-
nership. It would no doubt be within the recollection
of the Commissioner that the business of Messrs. Jullien
and Barry, Regent-street, was sold by arrangement to
Messrs. Chappell and Co., the music-sellers, for 3,0001.
or 4,0001.
Mr. CritEIGSON, a solicitor, said he appeared for

executed by Messrs. Jullien and Barry, for the benefit
of their creditors, on the 3d of February,

.
Mr. Commissioner PANE said he should deal with the
matter when the first proof under the joint estate was
offered.:

Mr. WALWORTII, a bookbinder, then tendered a claim
for 681. 9s. 4d. He stated that the debt was contracted
by Messrs. Jullien and Barry, from July to December,
1847.

Mr. Commissioner PANE—Hare you any security for
the payment of that claim?
Mr. Walworth—None, except the deed. When I
went for my account I was referred. to Mr. Lewis, as the
affairs of the firm were under his management, but I
did not go to him.
Mr. Commissioner PANE inquired if he wished to
abandon the security which he possessed under the deed
referred to.

Mr. Walworth said he did not.
Mr. Commissioner PANE objected to receive the proof
unless he abandoned his interest in the deed.
The proof was then withdrawn.
Mr.ICoLE applied for a private meeting, in order that
ho might be enabled to examine Mr. Lewis on behalf of
the creditors. Ile had given notice to the sheriffs to re-
tain the proceeds of the sale of the furniture in Harley-
street, which had realized about 8001.
Thursday next week, at eleven o'clock, was fixed,
Mr. Commissioner FANS said creditors would never
receive justice until tke law was altered;
debtor might assign over his property to his brother, or
some other relative, to the serious injury of his creditors.
Mr. John Cole, house decorator, was then appointed
trade assignee.
Several small debts having been proved, the further
proceedings were adjourned.
REPORTERS ATTENDING TEE COURT OF DANERUPTCY.
Mr. Comaisssioner FANE took occasion, on taking his
seat this morning, to allude to a paragraph appended to
the report of the proceedings in the Court of Bank-
ruptcy in the imes of Saturday, to the effect that no
accommodation whatever was afforded to the reporters
who attend the court, and complaining that when the
counsels' box was uncccupied, they were not allowed to
pursue their arduous avocations in it. Now he (Mr.
Commissioner Fane) was no party to that prohibition,
as he had never issued any order that reporters should
not occupy the barristers' box when it was not filled by
counsel. He had not the slightest objection to the
presence of reporters ; in fact he believed that
great public good arose from their presence, because
reports of the proceedings showed that fraudulent
debtors were punished, that the rights of creditors
would be protected by the Court, and further reporters
promulgated the decision of the Commissioners ; but it
must be borne in mind that the Court was a small one.
It was also stated that eighteen or twenty cases were
set down for adjudication by one Commissioner in one
day fie had looked into his diary, and he found that
the statement could not apply to him, inasmuch as he
invariably never set down more cases for one day than
could be conveniently got through. It was true that Some-
times there were fourteen or fifteen audits in one day, but
they were frequently only attended by one solieitor, and
did not occupy more thaa two or three minutes. The
imputation was unjust, and he denied its truth. For
instance, thinking that the case of M. Jullion might oc-
cupy some time he had fixed his case alone for to-day.
Mr. Lawrence attending his Court, a gentleman for whom
ho
had the greatest respect, had complained through the columns of the Times, that the solicitors to the
fiats were chosen by the debtor. Ile (Mr. Commiss
Fane) had seen great inconvenience from this, andio hen
considered that the appointment of a solicitor should
not rest with the debtor, and that some person
ought to be appointed by the Commissioners, or by
somebody else on behalf of the creditors. After some
sfuormther observations, in which the Commissioner com-
plimented the solicitors attending the Court for the
great ability they invariably displayed in conducting the
business of their clients, the above case was proceeded with.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(TIIIS DAY.)
OLD CO OR
These sessions, the seventh of the present mayoralty,
commenced to-day, before the Lord Mayor, the Re-
corder, Aldermen Musgrove and Hunter, the Sheriffs,
&c. In consequence of six weeks having elapsed since
the last session, there is an unusually large number of
prisoners for trial, 261 being already iu the calendar,
and that number will probably be increased to 300 by
Wednesday.
The judges on the rota are Lord Chief Justice
Denman, Mr. Baron Alderson, and Mr. Justice Coltman.
The following summary is descriptive of the offences
with which the prisoners already committed severally
stand charged:—
Assault with intent to rob, 2; burglary, 6; unlawfully
uttering counterfeit coin, 16; cutting and wounding with
intent, 7; feloniously attempting to drown, 1; embezzle-
ment, 16; forgery, and uttering forged instruments, 3;
horse stealing, 1; house-breaking and larceny, 10; lar-
ceny in dwelling-houses, 11; larceny from the person,
42; larceny by servants, 35; general larceny, 76, mis-
demeanour, 12 ; murder, 1 ; unlawfully possessing
moulds for the making of counterfeit coin, 2; rape, 3;
receiving stolen goods, 9 ; robbery, 4 ; sheep stealing
and killing, 2; feloniously forging a bill, 2.
London committals, 50; Middlesex ditto, 140; Essex,
8; Kent, 19; Surrey, 35—total, 261.

The grand jury having been empannelled and sworn,
The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to
them. He observed that the calendar contained a list
of no less than 261 persons charged with various
offences, and that large number was doubtless partly
attributable to the length of time that elapsed between
the late session and the present, and partly to the very
large mass of the population over whom that Court
had jurisdiction. The calendar contained charges of
murder, of rape, of robbery, of cutting and wounding
with intent to do grievous bodily harm, with attempting
to drown, with forgery, and forty-two cases of larceny
from the person. Notwithstanding, however, the num-
ber and the seriousness of the charges, it would be neces-
sary only for him to refer to but a few of them particularly,
in order to assist the grand jury in the discharge of their
important duties. With regard to the serious charge of
murder, he would not anticipate any of the details, as
they were disclosed in the depositions, but would only
observe that they were of such a description as,
in his opinion, to render it the duty of the grand
jury to put the case in the course of further inquiry.
There was a melancholy case in which a woman was
charged with attempting to drown herself and her child.
With respect to that case the grand jury must be
governed by the facts that were brought before them,
and give their opinions according to them. If there was
any answer that could be given to them afterwards that
would be a ground for their putting the case in a train
for further inquiry, but anything relating to or bordering
on the plea of insanity,_ they had nothing to do with.

would leave it to them, after they had heard the
evidence, to adopt that course which they
thought would best meet the justice of the case.
There was another case to which he wished particularly
to allude, and that was of a person practising as a
medical man without being regularly educated for the
profession. The charge against him was of unskilful and
neglectful treatment of a woman he had attended in
childbirth. Questions like these were of considerable
difficulty and anxiety ; but it was right that be should
tell them that it had been distinctly laid down by
the first legal authority that, whether the party was
licensed or not, if he displayed gross ignorance, or
carelessness, or rashness, he was liable to criminal
punishment; and in one case it had been decided that
where a person had not properly treated a woman in
childbirth, he had been properly found guilty of man-
slaughter. One point in the case which would come
under the consideration of the grand jury was, whether,
after the delivery; of the woman, the person charged had
left her for a `considerable time without removing the

would or would not completely, Perform her work. The
Learned Judge, after shortly adverting to some of the
other cases in the calendar, remitted the grand jury to
the discharge of their duties.

_ARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Benjamin Beeston, a private soldier in the Coldstream
Guards, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with
assaulting George Hatherwell, coachman to the Lord
Chancellor.

The complainant said that about half-past nine o'clock
last night ho was walking in Hyde-park with his
daughter and another young woman, who were walking
a few yards before him, when the defendant and
another soldier rushed past him, and ran up against the
females, and tried to throw them down. Witness ran
up to them and told them not to interfere with the
females, but to pass on their way. The prisoner naked
witness what he had to do with it. Ile replied that he
bad a deal to do with it, the females were under his care,
and he would not allow them to be insulted. The pri-
soner then tried to strike him, and witness put out his
stick to keep the prisoner off. The prisoner then laid
hold of him and threw him down on the ground
and tried to get his stick away. The pri-
soner then ran away, and witness pursued
him. The prisoner, finding that he was followed,
turned round, and threatened to split his skull if he
dared to follow him. Witness, however, persisted in
following the prisoner till he saw a constable, when he
said he would give him in charge. The prisoner no sooner
heard this than he ran off, and bolted down a mews,
whore he was stopped by a police constable, who took
him into custody.
The prisoner said he did not intend to assault the
females, he was running fast at the time when he acci-
dently ran against them.
Mr. BINGHAM fined him 205., and in default committed
him to the House of Correction for a fortnight.
Richard Connor, an old man, 60 years of age, was
charged with having indecently assaulted Bridget
Cronen, a child seven years of age. The evidence ad-
duced is totally unfit for publication, but from the clear
manner in which the child gave her evidence, Mr.
Bingham decided in committing him for trial.

CLERKENWELL.—(THIS DAY.)
Three boys, of very decent appearance, named Hol-
loway, Hoskins, and Monslow, the eldest about twelve
years old, were placed at the bar before Mr. Combos,
charged with gambling in the streets on Sunday.
Policeman 131 N stated that yesterday, about three
o'clock, the prisoners were playing at "Heads and Tails"
with halfpence, en the Green-terrace, Clerkenwell,
Holloway, throwing up the half-pence, and the others
calling to the game. The inhabitants complained much
of the annoyance and the profanation of the Sabbath
every week at that spot, by groups of boys such as the
prisoners.
Another constable corroborated the evidence ; but the
boys protested that they had nothing to do with the
group who were gambling on the Green-terrace, as they
passed on their way to the bath. When the policeman
came towards the spot where they were, the other boys
ran away, and they (the prisoners) were taken.
The Magistrate said that he !should fine them five
shillings each, or send them to prison for ten days.
Two boys, under twelve years of age, charged also
with gambling in the streets (Old-street-road) yester-
day, and whose parents were respectable, and appeared
in their behalf, were ordered to be locked up until four
o'clock.

Poor Vernet, so well remembered by the fre-
quenters of the St. James's Theatre, was buried on
Tuesday last at the cemetery of Pire-Lachaise. The
funeral service was performed—performed! startling is
the accidental occurrence of the word in its present sense
and on such an occasion—at the church of St. Denis du
Saint Sacrament, in the Rue Saint Louis, but no dis-
course was pronounced at the grave. Among those who
attended at the interment'were his old comrades Odry,
Cazot, and Lefevre (Bouffe Was absent in consequence
of a slight indisposition), the director of the theatre of
which he was a member (Les Varietes), and the greater
part of the company; Klein, Perlet, and (as representa-
tives of the Theatre Francais) Samson and Guyon.
Several actresses of the different theatres, all in deep
mourning, and some dramatic authors and critics, were
also present. Vernet was of the best time of the
varieties, and -contemporary with Bruret, Tincelie,
Lepeintre, Bosquier Gavandon, and the never-equalled
Potier.—Post•
