MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.;

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
A very limited quantity of English Wheat has been
received fresh up to our market this week, coastwise as
Well as by land-carriage. To-day the show of samples
of both red and white was small. Selected qualities,
which were very scarce, moved off steadily, at prices
fully opal to those paid on Monday last. In the mid-
and inferior kinds a very moderate business was
mid-
doing at late rates. nyet the 11,410 uarters of Foreign
Wheat have come to hand; supplyy of that article
011 offer this morning was good. Prime samples were
in ready demand, at extreme rates of value. Otherwise
the trade was firm, at full prices. For most kinds of
Barley, especially malting, we had a firm inquiry,
at fully late rates. The show of all kinds was small.
Malt ready for delivery was firm, and prices were well
supported. The forward sales were triflieg. Although
the supply of Oats was small, that grain commanded
very
rlittle attention, yet the factors refused to accept
lowe prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Meal as
last advised. The top price of the best town-made Flour
Was 48s per 280Ibs.

Our market was heavily supplied with Beasts, owing
to Which, the unfavourable state of the weather for
slaughtering, and the thin attendance of buyers, the beef
trade ruled excessively heavy, at, in most instances, a
deoline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The show of
foreign stock was on the increase. There were 149
Beasts in the market from Spain. The supply of Sheep
was somewhat extensive, the time of year considered.
Ali breeds were a very dull inquiry, and prices were
from 2d to 4d per Sibs lower than on Monday. The
highest figure for Downs was 4s 10d per 81bs. Calves,
the supply of which was good, were a mere drug, and
quite 4d per 81bs lower. In Pigs next to nothing was
doing, at barely late rates. Mulch Cows were selling at
from 141 to 171 each, including their small calf.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Justice Maven and Mr. JusticeWronreesae.)
CHARTIST TRIALS.
The trial of Mullins, the Chartist, was resumed this
morning, at 10 o'clock.
The examination of George Davis, which was com-
menced yesterday evening, was proceeded with this
morning.--The prisoner was present at a meeting held
on the 11th of August, and made a motion that the
Chartists of Clerkenwell should turn out and take part
in the outbreak. The meeting was adjourned to a beer-
shop in the Edgeware-road, where thirty delegates met
the same evening, and among them the prisoner, who
was appointed treasurer of the sub-committee. That
meeting was adjourned to the Orange Tree on Monday,
the 14th, when the prisoner again attended. On that
occasion he moved that every delegate should return to
his locality, and select four men who were willing
to do anything. That motion was carried, and a
deputation was appointed to wait on the engine-
drivers of the North-Western Railway to as-
certain if they would join the Chartists. The
Meeting adjourned to the Lord Denman on the fol-
lowing evening. On the Monday they met accordingly,
and the prisoner was present, and was one of the sub-
committee appointed to consider the course to be pur-
sued. The sub-committee withdrew for about an hour,
and on their return Mullins addressed the delegates, and
said that the sub committee had determined that the
outbreak should take place on the following, (Wednes-
day) evening, and that he would takethebev
which
district. Tri-coloured bands were distributed,
were to be worn by the delegates. It was also a
deter-
mined hettere-
ruined that the firemen should meet Ritchie Orange Tree on the following evening at seven o'clock,
and the pass-word was to be " Justice. '
Cross-examined by Mr. PARRY—During the two or
three months previous to the 16th of August witness
had only sold two guns and one sword, but had
to m
neverake
istigated any one to insurrection or
/Is° of arms. Had never urged persons at
Greenwich to arm. Was a shoemaker, a dealer
ill old books. and a broker, and in the latter
capacity he bought and sold fire-arms. Witness joined
the Chartists for the purpose of protecting life and pro-
perty, and to defeat the views of the Chartists. Wit-
ness was in the pay of Government before he joined the
Chartists, and was ashamed of being called a spy. Wit-
ness had the pair of pistols he now produced for some
time by him, and had often offered them for mile, but could
not dispose of them. He had proposed to put them up
raffledtwoithbeas,he
for. Had never told a person of t
name of Ward, that he could furnish him and others
or attempted to get up a club for the purpose
of purchasing arms. He generally had pistols about
of loaded and capped. Had never told Ward that he
was going to London to look out for the points of at-
tack. Nor did he ever say to a person named Robin-
oon that he had been to a house in London that was full
of cartridges, and that any person could be supplied
with them. Never urged a person of the name of Shuddy
to
p ice purchase a musket, but Shuddy asked him the
r of one. Had never said to a person
*tuned Mundav that he should like to have the b—y
old Duke of Wellington before him to try a pair of
Pistols. Had never told any one that he was a Chartist,
and would wallow up to his knees in blood for his fellow-
creatures.
Mr. Justice MAULS—Do you, Mr. Parry, think it
necessary to pursue further the course of cross-exami-
nation you are now pursuing? These parts of the ques-
tions you are putting appear to me irrelevant to the sub-
ject, and only calculated to occupy time for no purpose.
Mr. PARRY observed that he had decided on the
course he was pursuing after great and deliberate cone
sideration, and he considered the questions he was put-
ting most material for the prisoner.
Mr. Justice MAtJLE was of a totally different opinion.
Mr. PARRY felt bound, in duty to the prisoner, to
ask the jury to take a very different view of the matter.
Mr.
and pursue
Just
course. owniyourM—You had better go on Mr. Parry,
Mr. PARRY felt bound to pursue the course he had
oi
ee
ddidfrom it
with reluctance after the intimation he had
chalked out for himself, although he confessed
r
the Learned Judge. He had pursued the
seinee
before Mr. Baron Platt and Mr. Justice
Williamswho
course
never intimated to him that he was
pursuing an im-
Rroper or unnecessary course, and both those Learned
Judges took down every question and answer.
Mr. Justice MAME said that the instructions to
counsel frequently contained matter that was wholly
immaterial, and therefore it was that he (Mr. Justice
(laule) thought that the Learned Counsel, on its being
intimated to him from the Bench that the course he was
pursuing was unnecessary, would at once not proceed
with it further. But he thought, after what the Learned
Counsel had stated, he had better pursue his own course.
Cross-examination continued—Never offered to sell a
Pike-head to any one. He was paid 21. a week by the
Police, and expected to be remunerated by the Govern-
ts4i/lnet
loe for what he had done, and the losses he had sus-
td. In answer to many other questions, the witness
