MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.)

The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last week
were on a very limited scale, coastwise as well as by land
carriage and samples. Of all other kinds of Grain of home
produce the receipts were scanty, while from Ireland and
Scotland they were unimportant. Taking the foreign supplies
as a whole they were good, but no particular article came
heavily to hand. Fresh up, a fair average quantity of Eng-
lish Wheat was received, in good condition ; yet the actual
quantity on offer—owing to nearly the whole of the late un-
sold samples being previously disposed of—was compara-
tively small, owing to which the demand for most descrip-
tions was steady, at an improvement in the cur-
rencies obtained on Monday last of fully Is per
quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. The
show of free foreign Wheat was tolerably extensive, yet the
inquiry for that article was very firm, and a good business
was doing in it at prices a trifle over those paid last week,
at which the holders were by no means anxious sellers. Very
little Wheat, or, indeed, any other grain, was on offer in
bond; yet the supply proved, owing to the absence of spe-
culative buyers, fully adequate to meet the wants of the
dealers. In prices we have no alteration to notice. A
few hundred quarters of bonded Wheat sold for
the French markets at full prices. The quantity of Barley
was rather limited. Selected parcels of Malting moved
off readily, at extreme currencies, but the mid-
dling and inferior kinds commanded very little
attention, though we cannot call them cheaper.
There was rather more inquiry for Malt, but the high rates
demanded for that article, and the small quantity on show,
checked business. The trade, however, may be called steady,
at full prices. With Oats, we were very scantily supplied.
Fine parcels were held at a trifle more money, but all other
kinds were much neglected. The transactions were by no
means large. For Beans the inquiry was heavy, at previous
figures. The show of foreign Peas being large, the trade was
dull, at barely stationary prices. In b lour, comparatively
little was doing, at last week's figures.

At the outports the arrivals have been moderate-40 Heifers
having been landed at Plymouth from France; while
in the northern ports, such as Hull, &c., about 300
Beasts and 700 Sheep have been received in fair condition.
We had on offer to-day about 300 Beasts, 650 Sheep, and 10
Calves from abroad, in middling condition. With home-fed
Beasts we were but moderately supplied. The few prime
Scots on sale commanded a very ready sale, at prices fully
equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, but the mid-
dling and inferior breeds, which formed the bulk of the
supply, were very dull, and somewhat lower. From the
northern districts we received 800 Shorthorns, from the
western and midland counties 900 Herefords, 90 Devona, &c.,
and from other parts of England 500 of various breeds. The
numbers of Sheep were moderately extensive, and of prime
quality. The best old Downs sold at late rates, but all other
breeds were quite 2d. per 81bs. lower. In Calves only a
limited business was doing, at last week's prices. The Pork
trade was dull, at late figures. •

of other kinds of meat have been comparatively small. with
meat killed in the metropolis we have been well supplied, but
the quality has proved indifferent. Prime Beef, Mutton, and

CHANCERY.-(THIS` DAY.) .
The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster

IN RE ROBSON--PETITION OF RIGHT.
Our readers will recollect that this case, which came
before the Court upon an application for a commission
to inquire into the allegation of a petition of right, was
ordered to stand over till to-day, in order to give
the Attorney-General an opportunity of consi-
dering what course he would adopt on behalf
of the Crown. On the case being called on this morn-

course proposed to be pursued by the petitioner.

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL THOMAS WHITE.—
We have to record the demise of the above gallant naval
officer, at the age of 77 years. The venerable deceased
died on Wednesday last, at Buckfast Abbey, near Ash-
burton, after an illness of some months. The deceased
had only recently attained the rank of Rear-Admiral, by
the acceptance of the retirement in the navy, which took
place a few weeks back.

ministered poison to two pigs, belonging to Mr. Haw-

or proceeds sent in by the bankrupt. The
police had been after her for some time, but without
success and the bankrupt was taken by them in the act of
flight. Mitchell, to whom Mrs. Davis had made the
assignment, had been examined, end that was the only
account of the bankrupt's affair's which had come to the

The Learned COMMISSIONER asked whether they had
not succeeded in biking any property?
Mr. Hudson said, when the bankruptcy took place the
messenger went to the place he had been inhabiting with
his supposed wife, but all the property had been got
away; but, after the bankrupt's arrest they took advice,
and seized some of the property assigned by Mrs. Davis,
on the ground that if bankrupt was married to her she
could not assign the goods being sent in by bankrupt,
although the business was carried on in her name.
The bankrupt was then examined, but refused to say
whether he was married to Mrs. Davis or not. _

The Learned COMMISSIONEU said that the bankrupt
was not bound to answer, if the answer would criminate
him.

Mr. Hudson put his question in another form, and re-
quired to know whether his wife had told him of the
disposal of the property, either before or after his arrest?
The COMMISSIONER—You must not say " his wife,"
but ask whether it was Mrs. Davis, or the woman he culled
his wife.

Mr. Stammers objected that even such a question
might lead to a criminal inference, and be collateral
evidence of the bankrupt was indicted for bigamy, and,
on the authority of the case " Re Kirby," in Montagu's
Report, a bankrupt was not bound tc answer a question
to obtain indirectly that which could not be got in evi-
dence directly.
The Learned COMMISSIONER said that it might be
taken so far as the civil effect of the answer went, though
not to be used criminally.
The bankrupt was then examined as to the disposal of
his goods, and be declared, that although he had heard
where some goods were taken to within a fortnight, and
had the address written for him, he could not remember
it. His memory was " that bad," he could not remember,
and he was a bad scholar, and could not read without a
good light and plenty of time. He had given up the
address to his accountant. He could not say who had
given him the address.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said he was on that oc-
casion inclined to commit the bankrupt, but perhaps a
private examination would give him the opportunity to
refresh his memory.
The examination was adjourned for a fortnight.
Bankrupt admitted that he was daily supported in
prison from the proceeds of the sales by " his wife."

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The November general sessions for the trial of
offences committed within the district of Westminster,
commenced this day at twelve o'clock.
The grand jury having been sworn, the Assistant-
Judge charged them very briefly, and after the lapse of
a considerable time a true bill was sent in against
Thomas Jones, who was indicted for stealing half-a-
crown and three shillings, the property of Mr. J. Well-,
spring, chemist and druggist, of No. 3, Chandos-street,
Charing-cross._ _ _

It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor and
his apprentice, that on the 15th inst. the prisoner entered
the shop while there was no person there, and, leaning
over the counter, drew out the till, from which he took
the above sum, and then ran away. He was, however,
followed by the apprentice, who never lost sight of him
until he was taken into custody, at the corner of Hen-
, rietta-street, Covent- garden.
The prisoner was convicted, and sentenced to six
months' imprisonment, with hard labour, six weeks of
which were to be solitary.
Edward Bishop, a well-known pickpocket, was coa-
-1 victed of stealing a silk handkerchief from the person of
Thomas Lock, and was sentenced to six months' impri-
sonment, with hard labour. _ _ _

Margaret Macarthy was found Guilty of stealing three
shawls, the property of Charles Tomkins and another.
She was sentenced to four months' imprisonment.
Henry Williams pleaded Guilty to an indictment
charging him with stealing 10s., the property of Harriet
Evans, with whom he lodged, and was sentenced to
three months' imprisonment.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
T. M. Wheeler and John Whithorn were charged with
assaulting William Rogers, in Dean-street.
The complainant said he was passing the defendant
Wheeler's door, in Dean-street, this morning about one
o'clock, in company with his wife and a friend, when
Wheeler grossly insulted him, and then knocked him
down among some bricks and rubbish.
Police-constable C 57, saw a crowd of about 50 per-
sons come out of a public-house about one o'clock, and
the defendant Wheeler, after passing some way along
the street, knocked the complainant down. When he
had Wheeler in custody, the other defendant, Whit •
horn, attempted to rescue him. The constable said
there was a Chartist Society there, which met every
Sunday evening, the members of which, after their meet-
ing, adjourned to the public-house, and created a great
deal of disturbance in Dean-street every Sunday night
and Monday morning.
The defendant Wheeler said the prosecutor had
charged him with robbing the funds of the society, and
perhaps ho was irritated, but he denied striking him as
had been stated.

Mr. HARDWICK—What are you? Wheeler—Secre•
tary to a land society for the purchasing of allotments.
The prosecutor denied having charged him with
robbing the society.
After hearing various witnesses, whose evidence did
not seem to throw the least light on the subject,
Mr. HARDWICK said the violence made use of was not
justifiable. He fined the defendant Wheeler 41., or one
month in the House of Correction; and Whithorn, for
the assault on the :police, 21., or fourteen days in the
House of Correction.
