MARKET NEWS ._(THis DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
This week's arrival of Wheat of home produce, coast.
wise and by land carriage, has been but moderate, via.,
2,190 quarters, To-day the show of samples was small,
the demand for most descriptions was steady, and Mon-
day's quotations were fairly supported. The
best parcels
of Foreign Wheat moved off steadily, at full prices;
but the middling and inferior kinds wero a slow inquiry.
The imports since Saturday evening have been 11,370
quarters. Very little English Barley was on offer,
but the show of foreign qualities was on the
increase. The trade was steady, at full prices.
The show of Wheat was small, and most kinds were in
fair request at previous quotations. The Oat trade was
firm; but we have no improvement to notice in value.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour as last advised.

The Vicc-Chancellor was of opinion, o❑ the admissions
made by Taylor in his answer, that there must be a❑
account of the sums received for freight. Those ac-
counts were taken, and three decrees were subsequently
made, with which both parties were dissatisfied, and
against which both appealed.
The Solicitor-General, Mr. Bethell, and Mr. Follett
are counsel for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Wood and Mr.
Hislop Clarke for the defendants.
The arguments of Mr. Wood occupied the Court the
whole morning.

SALOBIONS V. If ASENCLEVER.
llis IioNOUR gave judgment to-day in this case, the
question in which arose out of a settlement made at
Dusseldorf, on the marriage of the daughter of Peter
Salomona with th• defendant, Hasenclever, whereby the
father contracted to settle the third part of his estate,
according to the provisions of the Code Napoleon, for
the benefit of the husband and wife, and children of the
marriage. Mr. Salomons arterwards became domiciled
iu England, where he died in 1843. The remainder of
his estate came to be distributed according to the pro-
visions of a settlement made on the marriage of
another daughter, and under several voluntary deeds
subsequently made for the benefit of his family.
On the case ceiming on for argument, various accounts
of the estate of Mr. Salomons at the tirne of the Dusseldorf
settlement, and acquired subsequently, and the moneys
paid to Mr. Hasenclever, in satisfaction of the contract,
were directed, but the Court reserved its judgment on
the point of out of what fund the Dusseldorf contract
should be satisfied. His Honour this morning stated his
opinion to be that it should be made good out of the
general estate of the testator; and directed the minutes
to be drawn up accordingly, at the same time ordering
the case to be spoke to when the minutes were prepared.
COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.)
TURNER V. BIEREWETHER.
This was an action for the publication of a libel,
charging the plaintiff with forgery and perjury. The
action was tried before Lord Denman. in Surrey, and a
verdict found for the plaintiff for 1,000/.
Application was made tor a new trial, on the ground
of the absence of a material witness, named Harrison,
a surgeon, residing at Reading, in consequence of ill
health. Application was made to his Lordship to post-
pone the trial, but a commission had been issued two
days previously to take the evidence of that witness.
He refused to do so. Secondly, on the ground that the
damages were excessive. And, thirdly, on the ground
that the inuendos in the declaration were not supported
by the words of the libel.
The Court granted a rule on the first point but refused
to do so on the second, considering that damagesththeeseu m

were not excessive, taking into account

SECONDARIES
(THIS DAY.)
There was only
for hearing this
day. The jury weroenedectaasienesdelfodrowsonme time,

the parties being in attendance—at none of
sent word that the case was settled. The jury com-
plained of this. as forty-eght are summoned, and any
absentee is liable, not only to be fined, but to be called
upon to serve at the Central Criminal Gain. The
attorney gets his coats, but the jury and officers of the
Court are put to inconvenience without any remunera-
tion. The complaint has frequently been madebytftmhee
jury, who are all tradesmen in the city, to whom
is particularly valuable, but hitherto no remedy has
been found.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
(Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE arid several county
Magistrates.)
The Court was detained a considerable time, after its
sitting. in consequence of prosecutors and witnesses not
being in attendance. In all cases that were not ready
.at ten o'clock, the Court ordered the expenses to be re-
fused. Several policemen, however, applied in the
course of the morning to have their particular cases ex-
cepted from that order, on the ground that the prisoners
in their charge had only been committed yesterday.
The Court allowed these officers their expenses.
The remainder of the calendar was gone through, but
it contained only charges of petty larceny, which pre-
sented no feature of the slightest public interest.
