The arrivals of English Wheat for our market, this
week, have amount, d so nc.arly.3,ooo quarters, chicile
from Essex and Kent. By land carriage, the receipt's
have been on the inereAse ; and the show of sampt's,
this morning, was b,tter tnaii for some time past.
Selected qualities of both red and white mov,tl elf
steadily, at prices fully equal to those paid on Monday
last. In thu middling and inferior kinds only a moderate
business was d.Jing, at late rates. A large quantity of
foreign Wheat-13,980 quarters—has come in; but, as
most of it has been landed in bond, the supply
°fl offer, to-day, was not to say large.
There was a biir retail demand for most.
descriptions, at full rates of currency. The
finest making Barley was mostly taken off as it
came to hand, at very full price, but grinding and dis-
tilling parcels were very difficult to sell. The supply of
Malt was fully equal to the demand; only the finest
samples commanded any attention. Oats, the supply of
Which was moderate, were in steady request, at
prices. In all other grain, including Flour and Meal,
'Very little was doing.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
LITTLE AND OTHERS V. DAVIS.

The plaintiffs in this actionare clerks to the trustees
of the Stroud and Chelmsford (Gloucestershire) Turn-
Pike Roads, and the action was brought to recover da-
olages under a bond entered into by defendant, as lessee,
for the payment of the tolls.
The bond was put in, by which it appeared that the
defendant had agreed to pay an annual rental of 4281,
by twelve monthly instalments, four of which were
still due.

The defendant having suffered judgment to go by
default, the jury gave a verdict for 142/. 10s.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner GOITLBURN.)
IN RE SPENCER PARKER.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONTO.—COUNTY COURT
COSTS.—The agents to the solicitor to the assignees ap-
plied in this case for the allowance of (amongst other
bills) one for the recovery of debts, the suits having been
brought in the County Court of Dorking. The Taxing-
master considered the costs too heavy.
His HONOUR ascertained that one of the debts had
not been recovered, and in the other only 3/. 1 ls. Bd.,
and the costs charged amounted to 81. 13s. 6d. His
Honour considered that persons acting in a representa-
tive character ought to exercise even greater caution and
judgment than on their own accounts. He could not
allow sucitcharges.
The ATTORNEY said that the County Courts gave a
long day for payment, and no doubt that one debt for
201. would ultimately be recovered, but he was a com-
mercial traveller at present out of employ.
His HONOUR said he would not make any order at
Present, but must have a fuller explanation.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Alexander Robertson, a jobbing cabinet-maker, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with obtaining, under
false pretences, and unlawfully disposing of, a chest of
drawers, of the value of 2/. 25., the property of Mr.
George Smith, of the Bagnigge ells-road, upholsterer.
It appeared that the prisoner had made the drawers
for the complainant, and was paid for them ; but, upon
examination, Mr. Smith found the top and side of the
carcase defective, and required Robertson to make the
defects good on his premises, forbidding his fore-
„Tao to allow the drawers to be taken away.
This day three weeks the prisoner called at the
shop in Bagnigge Wells-road, and told the foreman
and carter that he had seen Mr. Smith, who bad
ordered him to take the chest away to repair it.
.They believed the representation, and the carter took
it to his workshop. They heard no more of it until
Monday last, when the prisoner being taxed about it by
Mrs, Smith, said he had sold it, but would make another
in its place. This morning the prosecutor gave him
into custody.
found it The prisoner said that upon examining the carcase he
would be cheaper to make a new one than to
repair it, and accordingly he disposed of it in a sale-
room, having first told Mrs. Smith and the two men, in
the prosecutor's absence, that he meant to do so, and to
replace the chest with a more perfect one.
The witnesses denied that he had ever told them any
such thing.
Mr. Tinwnirr said he feared that the only way in
which the prisoner could be punished, was through the
satisfy a
medium of the County Court, unless Mr. Smith could
jury that he had the intention of unlawfully
disposing of the furniture when be took it away. How-
ever, he would remand the prisoner, to give the prose-
cutor time to ascertain when the property was sold, as,
if he sold it immediately, it might be more clear that he
had obtained possession of it with that intent. In the
mean time, he would admit the prisoner to bail, on the
surety
of one housekeeper, to appear another day.

ALARMING FIRE AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER's.—
This morning (Friday) shortly before one o'clock, a fire
attended with great damage, broke out in the lower part
of the Bluc-coat Boy public-house, near Islington-
green. It originated in the cellar, and having been ob-
served by some persons who were passing, an alarm was
instantly raised. The police of the N division procured
the parochial engine from Islington green station, and
messengers were dispatched for other aid, when the
engines of the brigade from Farringdbn-street, White-
cross•street, the West of England, and County also ar-
rived. From the timely assistance tendered the fire was
condned to the cellars. The proprietor is believed to be
insUred,
