IiARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
Up to our market, last week, coastwise, the arrivals of
all articles of home produce was on et limited scale, and of
very middling quality. By land carriage the supply of
Malt and Flour was good, but that of Wheat, Barley, and
Oats, was small, especially from the near counties. Up-
wards of 16,000 quarters of Oats came to hand from
Ireland, being the largest quantity in any one week
during the whole of the present year. The receipts of
other articles from Ireland, as well as Scotland, were
bu moderate. The principal feature in the foreign im-
portations, and which had a most depressing influence
tivon the Wheat trade here to-day, was the arrivals of
upwards of twelve thousand sacks of Flour from France !
the quality of which is proving exceedingly fine, conse-
qaently fit for first-rate consumption. In addition to
that large supply, 6,937 barn. la carne to hand chiefly
Irom New York. The imports of Grain comprised
18.757 quarters of Wheat, 2,536 ditto of Barley, 6,159
ditto of Oats, 493 ditto of Itye, 1,092 ditto of Beans,
761 ditto of Peas, 525 ditto of Tares, 3,240 ditto
of linseed, 200 ditto of Rareseed, 37 ditto of Mustard
seed; and 597 ditto of sundry other seeds, including
about 500 quarters of Indian corn. Fresh up this morn-
ing from Essex the supply of English Wheat was very
moderate; that from Kent, Cambridgeshire &c., small
for the time of year. The quality and condition of the
parcels were tolerably good. Notwithstanding the at-
tundance of both town and country buyers was large,
and that the stands exhibited a very poor show of sam-
ples, the English Wheat trade, owing to the immense
quantity of French Flour pressed for sale at low prices,
considering its intrinsic value, was excessively dull, at a
decline in the quotations paid on this day se'nnight of
from 2s to, in some instances, 3s per quarter, without
any progress being made in sales, the market closing
heavily, with the bulk of the supply unsold.
The quality of free foreign Wheat on show was
extensive, but a large portion of it was in very
middling condition; even the best parcels ruled heavy,
at a fall in value of is per quarter cheaper. The
secondary and inferior parcels were offered ineffectually
at 2s per quarter decline. With Barley—both English
and .Foreign—we were rather scantily supplied ; never-
theless, the Barley trade was heavy, and the quotations
were a shade lower than last week. For all kinds of
Malt, the supply of which was small, there was scarcely
any demand, either for present or future delivery. In
prices, however, we have no change to notice. Tho total
supply of Oats, including the arrivals from Ireland, was
extensive, and more than equal to the wants of the
buyers ; hence, the Oat trade was heavy, and the
quotations must be considered from 6d to
Is per quarter lower than on Monday last.
A large quantity of foreign Rye was °a offer at
2s per quarter less money. Indian Corn and Meal,
though slow in sale, were held at full prices. For Beans
the inquiry was restricted to small parcels at the late
decline. The sale for Peas was in a very inactive state,
but we have no further decline to notice in the curren-
cies. The top price of flour receded 2s per 2801bs.
Country marks and barrelled qualities were also lower in
the same proportion.

Tim FRENCH REVOLUTION.--JOEFON V. CHURTON.
This was 'an action brought by al literary gentleman,
named Jobson, against Mr. Churton, the well-known
publi.•ber, to recover compensation in damages fur an
assault end false. imprisonment.
Mr. PETERSDORFF. in stating the case of the plain-
tiff, said he was a writer of considerable aptitude,
since he could pro ince writings on passing events of
importance in a brief period. The plaintiff had done a
good deal in this way ; and during the progress of the
French revolution Mr. Churton applied to him to write
a popular treat iie, se•ting forth in a striking manner the
prominent features of that remarkable event; but the
oiler was accompanied by this condition—that the work
should be delivered in forty. e;ght hours. The defendant
undi'r ook to do so, and delivered the manuscript
within the stipulated period. The defendant engaged
these terms for the first 1,000 copies sold, 54
for the second, and 5/. for the third. The work
took, 1,500 copies having been sold in the course of a few
days. Though the work continued to sell well, the
plaintiff refused to pay the 51. for the second thousand.
Being in much need of money, he went to the de-
fendant's shop; but the defendant refused to pay him,
referring him to the County Court. The plaintiff said
he should not do so, but that he should take the matter
before a magistrate, and would see whether he should be
allowed to defraud him of his property. Mr. Churton
said he should save him the trouble, and gave him into
the custody of his shopman, on his using some heated
language. The shopman was a special constable. The
case was taken before Mr. Broughton, who discharged the
plaintiff.
Mr. Wicks said his sister kept a lodging-house, and
that the plaintiff resided in her • stablishment. He went
to the defendant's shop with the plaintiff, and deposed to
what took place. The defendant took the plaintiff by the

In cross-examination by Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS,
the witness stated that the plaintiff accused the defen-
dant in the street at his shop door with having obtained
possession of his property by false pretences. It was
then that the defendant gave him into the custody of his
shopman. They all walked to the Marylebone Police-
court, the defendant walking arm in arm with his shop-
man. When the case was called on the plaintiff charged
the defendant with having obtained his property by un-
fair means. The defendant said he owed him 201. Mr.
Broughton dismissed the case. The plaintiff, when
before the magistrate, accused the defendant with fabri-
cating royal pedigrees.
Mr. Fell, clerk of the Marylebone Police-court, pro-
duced the notes he had taken of the case.

Mr. M. CHAMBERS justified the course the defendant i
had adopted. He asked the jury if a respectable trades-
man, who was maligned in the public street, at his shop
door, in the hearing of customers of a public library,
would not have acted as the defendant had done. The de-
fendant paid.the plaintiff 5/. on account, and had distinctly
declined to pay him any more until 2,000 copies had
been got off. Instead of the defendant being the com-
plainant, could there be any doubt that the plaintiff put
himself, from first to last, in that position. He played
first card, or trump card, from the beginning to the end.
It was true a third thousand edition was printed ;
but it did not, therefore, follow that three thousand
copies were sold. Copies were sent out to book-
sellers on " sale or return," and though a large
number of copies of a work were printed, it did not
follow that all were sold, though they bore the impress
of having passed through several editions. Ile had often
regretted, i❑ cases of this kind, that they had no coin
less than a farthing, but when they bore in mind the
whole of the circumstances, he thought they could not
fail to be of opinion that a farthing damages would be
amply sufficient. _ _

W. Justice ERIK said a special constable had no right
to take a person into custody except in the case of a
public riot. If they believed the facts they must find for
the plaintiff, giving such damages as they thought proper.
They must look at the whole of the circumstances,
taking into consideration the amount of provocation.
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,
ono farthing.

Somewhat liberal imports of foreig❑ stock have taken
place into London during Ulla past week, as will Le seen

WEST RIDING ELECTION.

MEETING OF TIIE FRIENDS OF AIR. DENISON.
An adjourned meeting of gentlemen who are in fa-
vour of Mr. Edmund (Beck, tt) Denison was held at the
Nornanton Hotel, cu Saturday afternoon.
There was a numerous attendance of men of constitu-
tional principles from ♦arious parts of the riding, in-
cluding some of the Liberal party, and the proceedings
were of a unanimous and enthusiastic character, all pre-
sent being confident that Mr. Denison will receive the
support of the moderate men of all parties in the riding.
On the motion of Colonel TEMPEST,

HENRY HALL, Esq., was called to preside. The ve-
nerable chairman briefly pointed out the importance of
the riding being represented by some man of good sense,
of sound judgment, and business habits—one who would
not sap the constitution and the best institutions of the
country, but maintain them in their integrity. Such a
man, and one connected with the county, would, he (the
chairman) felt confident, receive the support not only of
the Conservatives, but of all men who were opposed to
violent changes in national institutions.
Mr. JOSEPH DENT, in a temperate and conciliatory
spit eh, proposed the following resolution:—'` That Ed-
mund Denison, Esq., from his know❑ habits of business
and his great experience of local interests, is eminently
qualified to servo the riding in Parliament, and that he
seems also fitted to unite the support of moderate men of
all political parties; that he be requested to offer himself
as a candidate; and that this meeting, in case of his com-
pliance, pledges itself to give him its utmost aid, and as-
sures him that his acquiescence will be hailed with gene-
ral satisliction."
Mr. JOHN GoTT seconded the motion.
Mr. J. W. SCARLETT (of the firm of McIST'S. James
Brown and Co., Leeds), addressed the meeting in favour
of Mr. Denison, w ho, ho believed, was eminently qua-
lified to represent the riding. Hi (Mr. Scarlett) 11A
had some conversation with his brother-in-law, Mr. Jas.
Brown, who, it had been reported, was to be brought out
by the Whigs, and he declared that he would not allow
himself to be put in nomination.
The motion in favour of Mr. Denison was adopted
unanimously amidst much applause.
A deputation:— consisting of J. Gott, Esq., J. W.
Scarlett, Esq., John Rand, Esq., H. W. Wickham,
Esq., Hon. Arthur Lascellcs, and H. Edwards, Esq.,
M.P.—were appointed to proceed to Doncaster to wait
upon Mr. Denison, and request ,him to
,allow himself
to be put in nomination.
From the conversation which took 'place there ap-
peared to be no doubt that Mr. Denison would comply
with the requisition of the meeting; and, in all probabi-
lity, his address to the electors will be issued on Mon-
day (this day).
Some efficient measures were then adapted for se-
curing the election of Mr. Denison ; the deputation de-
parted for the residence of that gentleman ; sad the
meeting was then adjourned.
