A MAN SHOT IN STEPNEY.— A great many persons
attended the court and its avenues this morning in con-
sequence ;of a report that a man had been shot in
Stepney, and that the attempted murderer would
be brought before the magistrate. It appeared, how-
ever, that no person was in custody for such an offence,
and that the rumour bad its origin in the following cir-
cumstances :--Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock a
woman dropped a silver fourpenny piece in John-street,
Stepney-causeway, and a labouring man named John
Daly, who was passing, assisted her in looking for it.
While he was so engaged, a mischievous boy, who had
beau playing with a pistol loaded with powder and ball,
either by accident or design fired it on the opposite
Bide of the road, and the ball lodged in the leg of
the man who was looking for the fourpenny
piece. The man fell, and es.elaimed, "I am shot !" He
was immediately taken to the surgery of Mr. Monks, in
the Commercial-road, who dressed the wound, and
directed that the unfortunate man should be removed to
the London Hospital, where the ball was extracted. On
making inquiries at the hospital this morning our re-
porter was informed that the man was going on favour.
ably. The author of the mischief ran away directly he ,
had fired the pistol, and notwithstanding the exertions
of the police no trace of him has been discovered. Two
detectives of the K Division have been in t;search of the
boy all day.

CORN h'XCHANGE.

This week's arrivals of English wheat, coastwise, and
by land carriage, have been very moderate, and the show
of samples here, to-day, was rather limited. There was a
slight improvement in the demand for fine qualities, at
Monday's currency ; but other kinds moved off heavily,
at that day's decline in value.
The imports of foreign wheat are rather over 10,000
quarters. That grain was dull in the extreme, at almost
nominal quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain were very dull.
Fine barley maintained its price; but other qualities
were very dull.
In the value of malt no change took place.
There was a moderate demand for oats, at Monday's
quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts in.to-day's market was by no means
extensive, yet the demand for all breeds ruled heavy, at a
decline in the quotations realised on Monday of 2d per Blbs.
With sheep we were rather scantily supplied, yet the
mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at barely stationary
prices. Calves were in short supply, and heavy request,
on former terms. In pigs very little was doing, at late
rates.
Mitch cows moved off slowly, at from 14/, to 19/. each,
including their small calf.
