MARK.ET NEW .—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Great heaviness prevailed in the wheat trade in the
whole of the country markets held on Saturday, and a con-
siderable fall took place in the quotations. Most kinds of
spring corn were in fair request, at full prices, but flour
was very dull.
Tha French markets have been rather drooping, and the
supplies of produce have increased. Largo quantities of
wheat and flour continue to be shipped from America.•
Increased supplies of English wheat came fresh to our
market last week. The imports of foreign produce were
12,317 quarters of wheat, '2,784 barley, 19,118 oats, 10
beans, 450 peas, 3,575 seeds, 40 sacks, and 31,473 barrels
of flour.

The fresh arrivals of English wheat up to our market
this morning was only moderate, and we observed a great
difference in the quality of the samples. Some portion of
last week's supply was again brought forward, and the
stands were, consequently, fairly supplied. The attend-
ance of millers was tolerably good, and the demand for
all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled inactive, at a
decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of from
ss. to Os. per quarter.

There was a tolerably extensive show of foreign wheat.
Even the finest parcels were much neglected, and the busi•
ness doing in all kinds was so trifling that the quotations
were almost nominal.

Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten•

tion.

There was a moderate demand for the beat barley at last
week's currency. Inferior kinds, however, were rather
dull, and the turn in favour of buyers by ls. to 2s. per
quarter.

Malt was in moderate supply, and fair request at late
rates.

We were but moderately supplied with oats, in which
a steady business was transacted, at late rates.
Beans and peas—the supply of which were limited—
were steady, at full prices. .

COURT 0 F BANKRUPTCY,
IN RE THE: ROYAL BRITISH BANK.

The flour trade ruled heavy, and the quotations were
drooping. The show of American was extensive. Town
made fell to 60s. per 2801bs.

To-day being appoit ,ted for hearing arguments on the
petition for adjudicatit in in bankruptcy in this case the
o )urt was crowded by persons interested, in the hope
that his Honour would depart from the usual rule in
this case, as the math r has been so publicly and fully
discussed elsewhere. To ey were, however, disappointed,
as his Honour determined' on hearing the case in private.

The result WAS looked for with great anxiety by many,
as it appeared that if the petition ,7•ould not be supported,
there was little hope of bringing the case within the
Windiog-up Act; but i nuch depends on the shareholders,
who, according to the official return in the London
Gazette of February l ast, amounted to 287, amongst
whom are 14 widows, 24 maiden ladies, and 17 servants,
on whom the loss will fall heavily.
The number of creditors are st ated at about 5,000.

ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—EmiIy Davies, an elderly
female, who has been in custody r aore than a month for
attempting to destroy herself bx taking a quantity of
laudanum, was brought up for further examination.
The prisoner was seen by Thomas Curtis, 78 L, lying
near Christchurch, in the Blackfriars-road, about two
o'clock in the morning, in a stato of insensibility, and,
believing her to be drunk, he attempted to raise her up.
She was, however, powerless, and on lifting her up he
saw fall from her an empty phial labelled outside
" poison." He immediately procured assistance and
conveyed her to the hospital, where the stomach pump
was used, and it was then ascertained she had taken
laudanum. After considerable difficulty animation
was restored, and after remaining in the hos-
pital a week she was brought before Mr. Combe
and charged with attempting to destroy her-
self. She refused to give any account of herself or rela
tires, which induced his worship to remand her several
times. Through a report of the circumstance appearing
in the newspapers, a letter wa3 received from her rela-
tives in the country, when it was ascertained that her
late husband had been under groom in a branch of the
Royal family, and since then she had been living in dif-
ferent parts of the country, but was missed by her
friends about two years ago. One of her friends came
forward and promised to take her back to the country,
if she promised to remain there.

The prisoner said she was extremely sorry for having
attempted to commit such a rash act, and on her pro-
mising not to repeat it, she was discharged and
up to her friends.
