MARKET NEWS.-(T lIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The present week's arrival of English ;Wheat, coact-
wise as well as by land carriage, has I:ren considerably
on the increase, but cf very middling qu'tlity. To day
the stsn:ls were well filled with samples t;tl both red and
-white. Selected parcels were in moderato request,
at
about Monday's prices. In all other kinds scarcely any
business was transacted, at, in seine instance', a slight
decline in the quotations—say of is per quarter, and at
which a clearance was not effeceil. A considerable
quantity of foreign Wheat has come in, the de:nand for
which was heavy, at Is per quarter less mlney. Bonded
parcels, as well as floating cargoes, were neglected.
Grinding and distilling Barley was very dull, and prices
were the turn in favour of the buyer:. There was
scarcely any inquiry for Malt, and to effct sales quite
Is per quarter less money must have been accepted.
Alt other articles of Grain, as well as Flour, is,ved off
slowly, at barely the late advance in the Tiota:i.)llS.

SMITHFIELD

A full average time-of-year supply of Gas's was on
sale in our market of to-day; but its general pality
was by no means prime. For all hr. eds, the demand
was in a sluggish state, at prices barely cq la! to those
paid on M9n,lay. The highest figure tor the best Scots
was 4.3 2.1 per 8113 s Amongst the Beas!s, we noticed 82

land. Although the numbers of Sheep w. re on the in-
crease—thera being upwards of 2,000 more in the mar-
ket than on this day se'nnight, the Mutton trade was
very firm, and late rates were readily supported.
Lambs—the supply of which was moderate—were in
fair request, at full currencies. The Veal trade, owing
to the large supply of Calves brought forward, was
heavy, at a decline of quite 4d per Ms. Pigs were
very dull, but not cheaper. Milch Cows were selling at
from 151 to 18/ each.

SECONDARIES'.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary PoTTRR.)
BROWN v. ROW.
This was en action brought to recover the sum of
3/. 15s. for mney paid on bhalf of the defendant.
The plaintioff's case was that he had become joint
surety to the Phoenix Loan and Discount Society in
Newington, with defendant, who is a widow in Dulvvich
Hospital, for a loan of 101. Bs. to defendant's son, who
married plaintiff's daughter. The greater portion of
the loan had been paid, but on default being made plain-
tiff was sued, and sought to recover one-half ofowever,
the
balance and one-half of the costs, the latter, h
of which he now abandoned, on the ground that he
could not recover for costs, as he ought (having made
himself liable for the loan) to have paid without incur-
ring costs.
For the defendant it was contended that the money
could not be recovered as money paid on her account,
and an objection was taken that there was a variance
between the writ and the declaration, the first describ-
ing plaintiff as "John" Brown, and the latter as
" Charles " Brown ; but it was contended that the iden-
tity of the plaintiff would be sufficient.
After a long discussion, the Learned SECONDARY held
that the plaintiff must be nonsuited.
Nonsuit entered accordingly.

CRICK ET.

THE ELEVEN O 1 ALL ENGLAND v. SIXTEEN OF

SIIEFFIELD.

Oa Tuesday and Wednesday this great match was re-
sumed, and, as will b 3 found, oa the latter day was
brought to a conclusion by the defeat of the eleven by
55 runs. This result will cause much of the " metropo-
litan and southern" money to change into the north; for
although in Sheffield the odds from the commencement
were in favour of their own sixteen, yet in L-Nndon and
amongst some of the eleven the odds had been laid the
other way. With respect to some of the losers, we have
heat d it said that those who are ignorant ot the Sheffield
play and the Sheffield strength ought to have applied to
wiser quarters for information on the subject than those
from which they gained it; and that those who were
cognizant of the fact should be somewhat less " sweet"
upon their own powers. Tho progress and termination
ot the match will show that, powerful as are " the eleven,"
they ought not in future to allow Sheffield " bixteen"
men. The first innings of Sheffield amounted to 118,
whilst that of the Eleven did not exceed 58, or 60 fewer
than the score of their opponents. Then, in the second,
Sheffield marked 77, by which they put in the Eleven
for 137 to tie. Of that total, however, they failed by
55, the sum of runs by which they were beaten and
vanquished, much to the chagrin of themselves and their
backers.

EFFECTS OT THE THUNDER STORM.—The awfu
thunder storm that passed over the metropolis last night
was felt at Kingsland, Stoke Newington, Tottenham,
Clapton, and the surrounding neighbourhood with the
most fearful effect, and caused the _greatest alarm and
consternation to the inhabitants. So jar-in-go were the
discharges of the electric fluid, and the concussion of the
rapid and continued peals of thunder, that the houses
were shook to the foundation, the furniture in the rooms
being moved from their position, and the inhabitants ex-
periencing a rocking and uneasy sensation: in many
instances the inhabitants running out of their habita-
tions in the greatest terror and alarm. At the Beauvoir
Arms, kept by Wilson, at Kingsland, the bottles and
glasses were displaced from the shelves, and the chairs
moved from their position; and at one time Mr. Wilson
supposed, from the violence of the concussion and the
loud report, that the back part of his premises had bees
blown down. The rain, too, fell in torrents, and the roads
at Kingsland, Stoke Newington, Tottenham, and Shackle-
well, and the lower parts of Islington, were rendered im-
passable except for carriages, and presented the appear-
ance of rivers more than the roadway. A house in the
Wharf-road, City-road, was struck by the lightning, and
partly set on fire, but it was soon extinguished. All
along the Bagnigge Wells-road, nearest the hill was
literally swamped, the lower parts of the houses being
tia ler water to the depth of some two or three feet. In
Pearl-crescent, which is about three or four feet below
the level of the road, great damage was done by hasty
removal of goods, &e., the inhabitants of houses being
obliged to get in the upper apartments for safety. Great
injury has been done to the stock of one of the bakers in
the road, the water running in with such force into the
bakehouse as to upset several sacks of flour. It is
greatly feared the destruction will be found to be very
great iu the lower parts of Essex, where the storm, as it
advanced, appeared to gain strength. So fearful a
storm, with such rapid discharges of lightning and
thunder, has not been experienced in these neighbour-
hoods for years past.
A PARisit DEFAULTER.—Yesterday large hand-
bills were posted up on the Surry site of the river, of-
fering a reward of 201. for the apprehension of Mc.
Thomas Woodward, of the Wandsworth road, who has
been for many years a collector of the poor-rate for a
large district of the parish of Lambeth, and who has ab-
sconded sinco Wednesday morning. The defalcations
of Mr. Woodward are said to be considerable, and its
occurrence at a time when the rates are so difficult to be
got in, and the money so much required for the mainte-
nance of the numerous poor in the workhouse, has caused
a considerable sensation throught the parish. The
affairs of this extensive parish, in so far as the rates are
concerned, have been a good deal disarranged. In soma
cases the poor rates were allowed to go in arrears for
as many as five or six years; but the present defalcation
a ill, it is believed, lead to a general change in the parish
government. Woodward has given security to the parish
to the amount of 2,0001., it is said, but it will be some
time before the sureties can be made to pay the amount
of their respective bail bond, and in the interim the
parish will be put to very great inconvenience.
BOLTON.—Mr. William Bolling, M.P., died on
Wednesday morning last, between the hours of seven
and eight, at his residence Darcy Lever, near Bolton.
The lion. Gentleman, who was 64 years of age, had,
for a week previous to his death, been labouring under
the effects of a severe stroke of paralysis, after a hich
affliction no hopes of recovery were entertained by his
medical attendants. Mr. Bolling had svrv( d in four
Parliaments as representative for Bolton, his native
town. Ile was returned in 1832, at the first election
after the passing of the Reform Bill, with Colonel Tor-
rens. In 1835 Mr. Bolling and Mr. Ainsworth were
elected, both of whom were re-elected in 1837. At the
general election of 1841 Mr. Ainsworth and Dr. Bow-
ring
ring were returned, Mr. Bolling being unsuccessful.
1847 Mr. Bolling and Dr. BOA ring were re-elected. In
politics the deceased gentleman was a Conservative, aAnld-
a supporter of Sir R. Peel's flee-trade measures. _.s.
