MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
Its consequence of the severity of the weather the
arrivals of all kinds of Grain, as well as Flour, ap to our
market, coastwise and by land carriage, last week, were
en a limited scale; while those from Ireland and Scot-
land were small in the extreme. From abroad no Wheat
or Fleur came to band, indeed the only foreign imports
were 175 quarters of Oats and 58 ditto of Linseed.
Fresh up this morning the supply of English Wheat
from Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c., was very small,
and the stands were scantily filled with samples of both
red and white. By land carriage very little grain
reached us. Although the attendance of both town
and coantry millers was by no meaas large,
and the weather unfavourable for effecting pur-
chases, the demand for most kinds of Wheat of home
produce, especially for selected qualities, was tolerably
steady, and a fair clearance was effected at prices about
oval to those obtained on Monday last. At the close of
business a fair clearance was effected. The quantity of
foreign Wheat brought forward was quite equal to the
wants of the dealers. selected parcels of Riga, ltos-
tock, and Stettin moved off at fully last week's quota
lions. In all other qualities comparatively little business
was transacted; yet the importers were firm, and would
not sell except at full prices. The actual quantity of
foreign Grain and Flour now on its way hither is small.
Notwithstanding the supply of Barley brought forward
was moderately good, that grain was very steady, and in
some instances rather more money was paid fur fine
Chevalier qualities. The Oat samples of Malt moved
off freely, all other kinds slowly, at unaltered currencies.
Scarcely any Oats were in the market, nevertheless most
descriptions met a slow inquiry at previous rates.
The sale for Beans was very inactive. In prices, how-
ever, we have no change to notice. Maple Peas were in
good request, at an advance of fully is per quarter.
Other kinds were quite as dear. Indian Corn and Meal
were very dull. Fine Flour was in steady request,
otherwise the trade was heavy. In prices we have no
change to report.

Owing to the severity of the weather, scarcely any
stock has been landed at the outports. On the opening
Of the navigation in Holland, very large importations
they be expected. There was an unusually small supply
of foreign stock on sale this morning, but its quality was
tolerably prime, especially the Beasts, most of which
Were turned out last and in the previous week. We
regret to state that extensive losses of both Beasts and
Sheep have been reported at sea during the week, arising
from the boisterous and severe state of the weather.
This morning the Dundee steamer arrived with eighty
Soots, fifty of which were found smothered in the hold.
The Aberdeen boat had not been reported at the usual
hour. Owing, doubtless, to the activity in the Beet
trade on Monday last, and the consequent high prices
obtained by the salesmen, a great inducement was
held out to the graziers to forward more liberal supplies
of stock for to-day's market. As, however, the atmo-
sphere had become mild, the Beef trade was in a very
sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations of fully 2d
per Blbs. The highest general figure for Beasts did not
exceed 4s 8d per 81bs, and a total clearance was not
effected. The. supply of Beasts, in the quality of which
a decided improvement was noticed, was a full average
one for the time of year. From the southern grazing
districts we received about 500 short horns; from the
eastern, western, and midland counties, 1,300 Herefords,
runts, Devon% Scots, short horns, and Irish Beasts;
from ether parts of England, 900 of various breeds; and
from Scotland, 50 horned and polled Scots. The num-
ber of Sheep were considerably in excess of those exhi-
bited on this day se'nnight, and of improved quality.
The mildness of the weather operated against the
Mutton trade, which was decidedly heavy, at a fall in
value of quite 2d per Sibs. The top figure fur the old
Downs was 5s per 81bs. Calves were in short supply and
Pigs exceedingly little business was doing at barely
stationary price's.

Since our last report these Insrk,?ts have been heavily
supplied with each kind of meat slaughtered in London
and the provinces. Prime Beef and Veal, from their
Icarcity, have commanded a rca ly sale, at, in some
instances, a trifle more money. Otherwise, the trade
h►s ruled firm, at fully previous quotations. Scarcely
►ny Foreign meat has been on offer.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The arrivals of Potatoes at the water side having been
very limited in the past week, the trade has ruled
brisk, at a further advance in the quotations of
from ss. to 10s. per ton. Tee supplies in dealers'
hands are comparatively small.—York Regent's, 130 s to
160 s ; Scotch Reds, 120 s to 130 s ; ditto, Buffs and
Blues, 110 s to 120 s ; Kent and Essex Regent's, 120 s
to 150 s; ditto, Shaw's, 100 s. to 140 s; ditto, Kidneys,
120 s to 140 s ; IVisbeach Regent's, 110 s to 140 s.

BOROUGH ROP MARKET.
We have again to report a stesdy, though by no
means brisk, demand for the best New Hops, at fully
the late advance in the quotations. In most other kinds,
Very little is doing, at analtered figures. New _Hops—
Sussex pockets. 2115 s t• 816 i; Weald of Kent ditto,

WOOL.
The reduction in the rate of discount by the Bank of
England has given a firmer tone to this market ; never-
theless, the actual business doing—as most of the dealers
are looking forward to the approaching public sales—is
small. In prices, we have no change to notice. Scarcely
is single bale was imported last week from any quarter.

TALLOW.
The demand for Tallow has fallen off, and prices have
declined quite ad per cwt. The stock has been consi-
derably reduced; but most of the chandlers are well
supplied. I'. Y. C. on the spot, is 47s ad, and for de-
"T.erY, 47s per cwt. Town Tallow steady, at full
prices. Rough Fat, 2s lod per sibs.

CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
This was the last day'of Hilary Term, and it was
expected that the Lord Chancellor would sit pursuant
to notice to give several judgments and hear motions
at eleven o'clock. Shortly before that hour a notice
Was put up in his Lordship's Court, stating that he
would not sit before the first seal, which is fixed for
the Bth of February. It is generally reported that
the cause of his Lordship aot sitting is a slight cold,
which he is fearful might bring on a relapse of his
late severs indisposition if he ventured to sit in
Court.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before the VICI-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.)
Hie Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took
motions to-day, it being the last day of Hilary Term.
Nothing of interest except to the parties concerned
came before the Court during the whole morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
No cases of public interest were heard during the
morning.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COUNT.
These sessions, being the fourth of the present
mayoralty, were commenced this morning in the Old
Court before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the
Common Sergeant, and Aldermen Gibbs, Sidney,
Salomans, and Finnis, Mr. Sheriff Cubitt, and Mr.
Sheriff Hill, accompanied by the Under-Sheriffs, and
other civic functionaries were in attendance.
The grand jury having been sworn,
• The Commute- SaitGesrer addressed them. He said,
in "nsequence of the sudden indisposition of the
Recorder, be had been unexpectedly sent for this
morning to charge them, but the notice he had re-
ceived had necessarily been so short, that it was quite
out of his power to perform the duty so satisfac-
torily as his Learned Colleague could have done. Of
course he had no opportunity of examining
the de:positions in the cases that would be
brought before them, and, therefore, all that
he could do was to refer them to the calendar.
There were, he observed, seven cases of burglary, but
none of them appeared to him to present any features
of difficulty, and it was only necessary for him to
remind them that the crime of burglary, in the eye of
the law, was the breaking into a dwelling-house
during the night time. The Legislature had defined
the night time to comprise the period between six
o'clock in the evening and six o'clock in the morning,
and it was necessary, therefore, that the offences
should have been committed between those hours.
The next case in the calendar calling for remark was
one of a rather serious nature. It was a case of
