MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAINuE.-(MONDAY

During last week the arrivals of English Wheat, Oats, Beaus,
Peas, and Flour, were on a very limited scale ; but those of Barley
and Malt were considerably on the increase. Of Irish and Scotch
grain the samples were unusually scanty ; but those of foreign Wheat
were full average ones for the time of year. Fresh up, a fait quantity
of Wheat came to hand, coastwise from Kent, but the supplies from
Essex, Cambridgeshire, and all other quarters were small, and of
very middling quality. The attendance of both town and country
buyers being large, and the supply of Wheat of home growth by no
means equal to their wants, the demand for that description of produce
was somewhat active, at an advance in the currencies paid this day
se'nnight, of from is to 2s per quarter, and at which a good clear-
ance was effected by the factors. Still, however, the market did
not close very finally. The show of free foreiga Wheat was by no
means large. Holders were very firm, and would not sell in many
instances, except at kigher prices. These were submitted to in but
few instances ; hence we cannot consider the quotations More than
is per quarter above those of last week. Bonded Wheat was very
steady, !yet we can make no alteration in the currencies. In
all other grain under lock next to nothing was doing,
yet we can notice no alteration in value. The supply of
English Barley being very large the Barley trade was ex-
tremely dull. The best malting qualities were held at ,late rates,
bat all other kinds suffered a decline of fully Is, and in some in-
stances 2s per quarter. We had a large quantity of Malt on offer,
owing to which, the sale was very heavy, and prices had a downward
tendency. Notwithstanding the limited supplies of Oats brought
forward, that article, arising from most of the dealers refusing to
purchase in the absence of the supplies now on their way
from Ireland met a very dull sale, at priees about equal to those
of last week. The show of Beans was not to say large, yet the de-
mand was slow, t.t late rates. White boiling Peas steady; but all
other kinds were a mere drug. Iu Flour exceedingly little was doing,
at last week's prices. The seed and cake markets were in a very inactive
state.

SMITHFIELD.

The past week's importations of foreign stock for our market have
consisted of 80 Cows, 51 Oxen, 446 Sheep, and 30 Pigs, from Rotter-
dam, together with 13 Oxen, 96 Cows, and 219 Sheep from Harlingen.
At the outports very few imports have taken place, while we had
on sale here to-day about 50 Beasts and 100 Sheep from Rotterdam.
Although this stock was by no means first-rate, the sale for it was
active at higher currencies, and at which the whole was disposed of.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this
morning were very limited, but of fair average quality. The at-
tendance of buyers being large the Beef trade was active, at an ad-
vance In the prices obtained on this day se'nnight, of from 2d to 4d per
81bs, the finest Scots readily producing 4s 6d per Sibs. The droves
from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, consisted of 500
Scots and Shorthorns. From the northern districts 600 Shorthorns ;
from the western and midland, 700 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ;
and from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds came to hand.
The numbers of Sheep were unusually small, or about nineteen
thousand less than were exhibited at the corresponding market day
last year. The Mutton trade was consequently brisk, at a further
improvement in the quotation of from 2d to 4d per Blbs. Lambs sold
freely, at 7s per, Bibs for the best qualities. Calves were in short
supply and ready inquiry, at very full prices. In Pigs a full average
business was doing, at late rates.

NZIV7GATE AND ZEIADENNALL.
For the time of year, very limited supplies of slaughtered meat
have been received up to our markets since this day se'nnight.
Those of meat killed in the metropolis having been small, the
general demand has ruled firm. The prices of beef, veal, and pork
are well supported; while those of mutton have advanced 2d per
181bs., and- good clearances have been effected. Several carcases of
foreign beasts and sheep have been again disposed of.

. DOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

During the past week the arrival of potatoes have been on a very
moderate scale, yet they have proved quite equal to the wants of the
dealers, who have purchased with caution, on the following terms :
York Reds, 80s to 120 s ; Ditto Regents, 90s to 115 s ; Lincohishlre
Kidneys, SOs to 90s ; Scotch Reds, 60s to 80s ; Jersey Blues, 75s to
80s per ton. _ _

BOItOUGIE MOP 11T.A.UXIM.
Selected parcels of Hops continue in fair request, at fully previous
quotations. In other kinds very little is doing, at late rates. The
supplies on offer are by no means large.
WOOL.

Although no public sales are yet declared, the demand for foreign
and colonial wool is inactive at barely late rates. In English wools,
rather more business is doing, and in some instarttes, a trifling im-
provement in the quotations. The imports during the week have
been small, viz., about 600 bales-315 being from Port Phillip.
TALLOW.

The prices have declined since our last, chiefly owing to the pro-
position by Sir It. Peel to reduce the duty ; but the quotations of
this morning are almost nominal. If parties have Y. C. already
duty paid, and are determined to realise, they must submit; while
fine Y. C. is selling to the trade at 42s 9d for cash, and 435. for good
bills. In new Tallow there is nothing doing. Town Tallow is firm,
at 43s net cash.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THISIDAY.)
(Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.)
THE MAYOR, ALDERMEN, AND BURGESSES OF LOUTH V. THE
WARDENS AND ASSISTANTS OF THE FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL
OF LOUTH.
His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND sat in
his Court, at Lincoln's Inn, to day, for the purpose of hearing
the further arguments in this case. The case has already oc-
cupied the Court for three days, and its further consideration
was postponed till to-day, partly for the convenience of coun •
sel, and also in order that the general business of the Court
during the term might not be delayed. We have already
given a short outline of the case, and shall enter more into its
detail when the arguments are concluded, which will pro-
bably be in three or fonr days.
Mr. BETHELL commenced his arguments to-day on behalf
of the defendants, and occupied the Court the whole morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH---(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN and a
Common Jury.
THE QUEEN V. CHAPEL.
In this case, which occupied the Court for some time, it
appeared that the traverser, who was a music-seller in Bond-
street, had been charged with perjury; but upon an investi-
gation of the case it appeared that the charge originated in a
mere mistake as to dates in swearing an affidavit in a case
before the Court of Chancery, and that no allegation of wilful
or corrupt perjury could be sustained, and the traverser was
therefore at once acquitted, the Crown having declined to
prosecute.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins after Term.)
Mr. Baron Platt sat at nisi prius, in 'Westminster, this
morning, but the cases which came before the Court were of
an ordinary character, and involved no matter calling for a
public report.
The cause list contains forty-five new cases, and seven
remenets, making in the whole fifty-two causes, but many
of these had been withdrawn before the close of the day,
leaving not more than forty for trial, thirteen of which are
special jury cases.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Justice ERLE).
This being the first day after terra, the Court, having
sworn a common jury, entered upon the new trial paper for
Middlesex, on which there are upwards of thirty cases, but
those disposed of presented no feature of interest except to
the parties concerned.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE WICKS.
This insolvent, who came up for his final order, is sexton
of St. Andrew's burialground, in Gray's Inn-lane, and was
opposed. On the previous occasion it was endeavoured to be
shown that the insolvent had been carrying on business as a
job master in conjunction with a Mrs. Goodall. The insol-
vent denied the assertion.
A person named Sedley now opposed, on the gronnd of a
debt due to him. On - cross- examination :he admitted that
he had himself been insolvent, and so badly off that he had
borrowed money of Mrs. Goodall on pawnbroker's dupli-
cates. He admitted that he had redeemed the property, but
had never made any declaration of the loss of the duplicate,
and how he contrived to obtain them without the ticket,
which was in Mrs. Goodall's possession, he could not tell.
Mr. Stmox, for the insolvent, submitted that no reliance
could be placed on Sedley's evidence after that.
The Learned COMMISSIONER assented, and the insolvent
passed.

IN RE HERBERT.
This insolvent, who was a clerk in the Customs, came up
for his interim order, and was opposed by Mr. Addison, a
solicitor, on his own behalf, on the ground that the insol-
vent had mixed himself up in accommodation bills.
Mr. Shaw said.that he had discounted the bill for 451. for
a Mr. Addison, a wholesale provision merchant in the City,
but on the bilibecoming due it was dishonoured. The in-
solvent had admitted that the bill was an accommodation
bill between him and a person named Rose. He (Mr. Shaw)
submitted that it was:a case requiring opposition ; it was
not to be borne that persons holding situations under Go-
vernment should traffic in accommodation bills.

The insolvent said that the present bill was given to meet
another, on which legal proceedings had been threatened.
He had only received 14/. on account of the bill. He had it
from a person named Bateman.
Mr. Bateman, on being examined, said he was applied to
as an agent to get the bill discounted, He went to a person
named Grey, who was clerk to Addison. Witness was to
have 1/, for his trouble, and Grey 1/. After some time, MI.
was :got by Grey, who at first said he obtained it from a
bakei in Thames-street, but afterwards admitted he bad in
fact received it from his master (Addison). Witness ac-
tualbi gave 354 21. more than he received, and never got the
