LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner G-oulburn.)
IN BE C. VENABLES, JUNIOR-JUDGMENT.

This bankrupt was described ao of Clifton, Taplow,
paper manufacturer, and applied last week for his certi-
ficate, when arguments were urged at great length.
His Honour tow gave judgment, and said that on the
one hand it had been urged that the bankrupt was enti-
tled to the favourable consideration of the C ourt, and to
a certificate of the highest class. He had given it hiv
best consideration, and was sorry to say he could not
bring his mind to that conclusion. His Honour, how-
ever, said that as to the charge of fraud, by obtaining
goods from a Mr. Collins, just before his bankruptcy,
he considered it to have been hastily brought, and
there was not the slightest pretence for it. The only
question, therefore, was the class of certificate, and
looking at the conduct of the bankrupt since his
bankruptcy, and it had been exemplary, and there
was much to commend, as he had made overy exertion
for the benefit of his creditors ; he was therefore en-
tiled to an immediate certificate of the second class. His
books had been kept with great regularity and propriety,
but, unfortunately, when be became involved, be en-
deavoured to keep on by resorting to accommodation
bills, and it was this that prevented him receiving a
certificate of the first class.

CORN EXCHANGE

The country mar:ets held on Saturday were but mode-
rately supplied with wheat, the conditioz I of which was
by no means first-rate. All kinds move( 1 off slowly, and
prices were in favour of buyers. Barley ra oved off heavily ;
but most other grain supported previous rates.

The continental markets are rather d' all, yet very little
change has taken place in the quotat ions. From the
United States largo quantities of whea I and maize con-
tinue to be shipped to England.
Up to our market last week the ar rivals of English
produce were small. The imports from a broad were 23,714
quarters of wheat, 1,584 barley, 28,290 o ats, 145 beans,
279 peas, 1,512 linseed, 1,187 rapeseed, 90:.? sundry seeds,
481 sacks, and 3,752 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise, from Essex, Kent, &c., was
limited, but there was a decided improven tent in its gene-
ral condition. By land carriage the receip is were trifling,
and the show of samples of both red and white was small.
The attendance of town and country buyers was far more
numerous. Selected samples changed hands at last Mon-
prices, but there was no activity in the demand for
them. Inferior qualities moved off slowliy, at a decline in
the quotations of from is to 2s a quarter.
There was a full average display of for dgn wheat, fresh
as well as ex-granary. Importers were v ery firm in their
demands, and an average business was p Lasing in medium
qualities, at full quotations.
Floating cargoes were firm, but not dearer.

Fine barley ruled steady, and prices were firmly sup-
ported. In grinding and distilling sorts only moderate
sales took place? on former terms.

We had a fair inquiry for malt, at. very full prices.
The supplies of Irish and foreign oats being liberal, the
oat trade was dull, and prices were 6d. per quarter lower
than on Monday last.

Beans were in short supply, and steady request at fa

quotations.
Peas sold to a moderate extent at late rates.
Fine flour realised fall quotations. Country markets,
including American, were steady.
