THIS DAY'S MARK.E.TS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat. For nearly all kinds'
there was a fair demand, at, in most instances, full prices.
Barley changed hands freely, at extreme rates. All other
spring corn, including flour, realised previous currencies.
Throughout the Continent wheat has sold to a fair ex-
tent, on former terms. Barley and other produce have
ruled about stationary. Several large parcels of wheat and
flour have lately been shipped from America. to Liverpool.
[The arrivals of English barley last week were exten-
sive, of other produce very moderate. The imports from
abroad amounted to 5,837 quarters of wheat, 10,959 barley,
23,303 oits, 1,510 rye, 820 beans, 20 peas, 389 tares, 2,392
linscsd, 1,830 rapeseed, 1,30 sundry seeds, and 20 sacks of
flour.

The quantity cif English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was only
moderato, and, owing to the damp state of the weather, in
very middling condition. The few good and fine samples
on offer were disposed of at prices fully equal to Monday
last, but all other qualities moved off slowly. In the quo.
Cations, however, no change took place.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat. For the most part millers purchased
cautiously; nevertheless, late rates were well supported.

Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were a slow
inquiry.

Notwithstanding that large supplies of barley came to
hand last week, the barley trade ruled steady, and prices
were well maintained in every instance.
Most kinds of malt were a dull inquiry, but not cheaper.

blood and fine oats wore in fair request, at full quOta.
:ions. Low and damp parcels changed hands slowly, a
ate rates.

Beans were a dull inquiry; in prices, however, very little
change took place.
The sale for peas was slow, on format terms.
There was a fair demand for flour, at full quotations.

LAW INTELLIG.ENCE.-(7717S DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
(Before the Lords Justices.)
APPEAL.-JUDGMENT.-WALLIS V. WALLIS.

This was an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Sir
Richard Torin Kindersley, decreeing specific performance
of an oral agreement for the exchange of a coal-yard and
shed for other property by the parties.

Their lordships were of opinion that the evidence pro-
duced by the plaintiff clearly proved the agreement, and
dismissed the appeal with costs and coats of the action at
law, and granted an injunction restraining further pro.
ceedings at law.

ROLLS' count.
(Before tho Master of the Itolls, Sir John Romilly.)
JUDGMENT-CORPORATION OP THE SONS OF THE CLERGY

V. SUTTON.
This case came before his honour on a special case, and
the question raised was whether the consent of the Charity
Commissioners was requisite to the sale of the lands in
question. This question depended on the construction of
the Act of 1517, cap. 187. It appears that in June, 1658,
certain members of the Corporation of the Sons of the
Clergy entered into an agreement fur the purchase of the
lands of St. Laurence. As it was a valuable purchase they
allowed six-sevenths of the purchase-money (X 2,400) to lie
out on mortgage.

His Honour considered that, as the lands were originally
purchased for a valuable consideration by the corporation,
it was not necessary to obtain the consent of the Charity
Commissioners to the sale of the land.
