CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat, which moved of freely, at a
rise in price of fully 2s per quarter. MI descriptions of
spring corn were the turn dearer, with a good consumptive
demand. Flour was rather higher.

The continental markets have been somewhat active for
wheat, especially for good and fine parcels, at enhanced
rates. Barley and other produce have commanded more
money. In the United States prices still rule moderate,
with a good export demand.

The arrivals of English , produce up :o our market last
week were rather limited. The imports from abroad
amounted to 39,198 quarters of wheat, 16,507 barley,
29,914 oats, 10 rye, 1,760 beans, 552 peas, 106 tares, 505
linseed, 5,880 rapeseed, 180 maize, 804 sundry seeds, 6,036
sacks and 11,550 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day from Essex the arrivals of wheat coast-
wise, and by land-carriage, were very limited. From Kent
the receipts were only moderate, and the general condition
of the samples was very inferior. For good and fine
samples there was a good consumptive demand, at an ad-
vance in the quotations realised on Monday last of from 2s
to 3s per quarter. Low and damp parcels moved al some-
what slowly ; nevertheless, prices were well supported.
We were again well supplied with foreign wheat, never-
theless, all things were in good request, and the currencies
advanced 2s to 3s per quarter compared with this day
se'nnight.

Floating cargoes of grain were active, and 23 per quarter
dearer.

All kinds of barley were in demand, at an improvement
in ♦alue of is per quarter.
There was more business doing in the malt trade, at very
full prices. The supply of malt was only moderate.
We had a fair quantity of oats on the stands : neverthe-
less the oat trade was firm, at 8d to is per quarter more
money.
There was a good demand for beans, at a rise in value of
Is per quarter.
The few peas on offer were disposed of at is per quarter
advance.

There was a good demand for flour, at is to 3s per sack
more money. American advanced 2s. per quarter.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL)

BOW STREET.

STEALING A WATCH.—A young man named Walsh
was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with stealing a
watch.

The prosecutrix said, she was standing near St. Martin's
Church talking to her daughter, when the prisoner rushed
by, making a snatch at her watch, which he succeeded in
tearing from her side and ran off with it. She was quite
sure the prisoner was the young man who took the watch,
which had not been found.

This evidence having been confirmed,
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six
months' imprisonment with hard labour.

A JAIL BIRD.—A woman named Wood was placed at
the bar charged with stealing n and some silver from a
young man who accompanied her to a brothel.

The prosecutor said he was foolish enough, while under
the influence of drink, to accompany the prisoner to a house
of ill-fame, and after they had been in the house a few
minutes, be discovered his loss and accused her of the rob-
bery. She denied it, but within a shilling of the amount
stolen from him was found on her person.
The prisoner did not deny the robbery.
A police-constable proved a number of former convic-
tions in the years 185 E, 1859, and 18G0.
The magistrate thought it was a case that ought to go to
the sessions.

The prosecutor said he hoped the case would be disposed
of summarily.

The rsag,istrate was disinclined to do so. It was, he
said, a case that ought to be punished more severely than
he had the power of inflicting. As the prosecutor stated
his inability to attend at the sessions, because by doing so
his absence would entail 'upon him the loss of his situation,
he should therefore send her again to prison for six months
with hard labour.

Prisoner, as she was leaving the dock, said—That's all
right, luck again.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

RUFFIANLY CONDUCT OF A BOMBARDIER OF THE
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—George Aldridge, a bombardier of
the Royal Artillery, Ist brigade, No. 859, was charged
before Mr. Beadon, as follows :

Crutch, 180 D, said that on Saturday night at a late
hour he was 'called by Mr. Follet, tobacconist, of 219,
Oxford-street, to remove the prisoner from his shop door.
Mr. Follet told him that the prisoner had entered his shop
and asked for half an ounce of tobacco, and on leaving the
shop took up a fancy pipe and a gutta percha ring, and on
the shoptnan asking for payment, the soldier struck him
in the face. He (the constable) advised him to go away
quietly, telling him that he could not be allowed to re-
main there, when the prisoner, with the exclamation,
" Take that you -," gave him a violent blow on the
chest, knocking him away from him. The prisoner after-
wards closed with him and they both fell, and on getting up
and again advising the prisoner:to go away quietly he struck
him several blows, and he was obliged to call on a hackney
carriage'attendant to assist him in taking the prisoner to
the station.

The prisoner, while the officer was giving his evidence,
behaved himself in such a manner as to elicit from the
Chief Clerk the remark that he had better keep quiet, as he
was doing himself no good.

Parker, the hackney carriage attendant, said, after con-
firming a portion of the officer's statement, and stating that
the prisoner was very violent, that he heard him say that
he would not leave the shop till he had two cigars, and
that it required two more constables to get him to the
station. He also knocked him (witness) over.
The prisoner, in a bullying tone, said he knew he was
drunk, and he only struck the constable when the con-
stable struck him, but the latter part of his assertion was
denied by the constable and the hackney carriage at-
tendant.

Mr. Beadon, after rebuking the prisoner for his conduct
in the dock, said it was a very bad case, and he should fine
him 505., or one month.

The prisoner, in an impudent manner, said, as he was
leaving the dock, " Then I'll do the month."
