CORN EXCHANGE.

There was rather more firmness in the demand for good
and fine samples of wheat in the various country markets
held on Saturday, and prices were well supported. Infe-
rior qualities, however, were a dull inquiry. Most kinds of
spring corn moved off steadily, at full currencies. In flour
very little was doing.
The continental markets come less active for wheat, in
the value of which, however, very little change has taken
place. Spring corn has moved off freely, at full quotations.
In the United States prices have tended upwards, owing to
the continued activity in the export demand.
Only limited supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. Tho imports from
abroad were liberal—viz., 25,983 quarters of wheat, 2,882
barley, 23,243 oats, 1,010 beans, 630 peas, 90 tares, 5,080
linseed, 1,030 rape-seed, 106 seeds, 4,304 sacks and 77
barrels of flour.

The supply of wheat from Essex in to-day's market was
limited; from Kent, moderately extensive. Nearly the
whole of it was of the present year's growth, and in very
middling and inferior condition. The few fine samples on
offer wero disposed of at last Monday's currency; all other
kinds sold at irregular quotations, but we may call the
decline in them fully 2s per quarter. Many of the samples
sold on Monstay last have since been refused by the millers,
awing to their damp condition.

There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on offer ;
selected samples valued previous rates rates ; but the value
of other qualities had a drooping tendency.
Floating cargos of grain were very dull, and lower to
purchase.

Fine new barler realised 44s per quarter. Foreign par-
cels supported previous rates.

We have to report a slow inquiry for most kinds of malt
—the show of which was moderate—at last week's cur-
rency.

We were fairly supplied with oats; nevertheless, the oat
trade ruled steady, at full prices.
Beans were in moderate request, at last week's currency.
Peas commanded previous rates, with a fair demand.
The flour trade was very inactive, at last week's decline
in the quotations.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY)

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE FRANK BOYCE.

This was an application fur certificate by the bankrupt,
who is well known in the sporting world, and who had
carried OR business as a livery-stable keeper at Epsom, and
sutsequently at Melton Mowbray.

Mr. Linklater appeared for Mr. Reynolds, the assignee,
and did not oppose the bankrupt having an immediate
certificate of the second class. The debts amount to £550,
and the assets are very small, but the bankrupt had in Jan.
1859, a surplus of £532. The profits had been only £65 ;
whilst the trade expenses had been £339 ; rent, £7O; tra-
velling expenses, £372 ; house and personal, £536 ; and
losses, £197.

His HonAur granted an immediate certificate of the
second class.

CENTRAL cIuorINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

The eleventh session of the Central Criminal Court cora-
n.enced to-day. The calendar contained 107 cases. There
were 3 charges of arson, 20 of burglary, 1 of child -stealing,
15 of uttering counterfeit coin, 2 of embezzlement,4 of for-
gery, lof horse stealing, 1 of housebreaking, 12 of larceny,
12 of larceny by servants, 8 of larceny from the person, 1
stealing a post letter, 2 manslauehter, 11 misdemeanour, 1
rape, 3 receiving stolen goods, 3 robbery, and 7 feloniously
wounding.

The grand jury having been sworn,
The Common Sergeant addressed them as follows :—Al-
though the calendar contained a very long list of cases
there were none which involved a capital charge, There
were truly two cases of loss of life, but it had not been
thought necessary to charge the parties with murder ; one
arose from a street accident, namely, a collision between
a pianoforte van and a cab, by which the cab driver was
killed. Evidence would go before them (the grand jury),
to show the driver of the pianoforte van was intoxicated at
the time of the occurrence, and evidence to the contrary
effect was also to be heard. If they found there was any
want of skill on the part of the driver of the van, then he
must take his trial for manslaughter. The other case was
one of loss of life arising out of what was called a fair
fight. The parties agreed to have a combat, and their
standing up to fight being an illegal act, death resulting from
it was manslaughter. There was a curious case of stealing
a child under ton years of age, which was a misdemeanour.
There was no doubt they had decoyed the child away, but
the motive for it was not very clear, but whatever it was,
if the persons did decoy the child a true bill must be found
against them. There was a charge of conspiracy to ob-
tain silk by false pretences for illegal purposes. If it was
shown that the men had acted in concert to obtain these
goods by misrepresentations, and had divided the proceeds,
they were guilty of conspiracy. There was a charge of in-
ducing a girl under 16 years of ago to leave her parents.
The girl was 14} years old, and had appointed to meet the
prisoner, and gone away with him for some days without
her father's consent. If they found this was so, they
would return a true bill. The next case was one against
a medical man who was prosecuted with the sanction of the
—a— mu a rauautent l rus-
tees Act. It was only necessary for them to see if a prima
facie case was made out, and if so send the matter for in-
vestigation by tho common jury.
The grand jury then retired.

STEALING BOOTS.—Amolia Smith, on bail, surrendered
to take her trial on the charge of stealing, on the 4th of
August last, two pair of boots, value 7s. 6d., the property
of Henry Carter, general dealer, at Woodford, in Essex.
Mr. Metcalfe appeared to prolecuto, and Mr. Sleigh de-
fended.

It appeared that the prisoner went to the complainant's
shop and asked to see a pair of boots, and whilst inspecting
them secreted the property, alleged to be stolen, under her

shawl.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DA]'.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SINGULAR CASE—A FEMALE IN MALE ATTIRE.—
James Thomas Shirley, 11, Foundling-terrace, a cab driver,
badge 14,343, and Emily Franklin, a young female, resid-
ing at 24, Dean-street, Soho, were charged as follows :
The female was brought to the court in a cab, where
there was a number of persons to greet her. She was in
male attire, having on a dress coat, black trousers, light
waistcoat, and stand-up collar, with neat neck-tie and a
black hat, and from her make-up and youthful appearance
looked like a young swell.

From the evidence of Butcher, 137 C, it appeared that on
Saturday afternoon he saw the defendants in Vine-street,
Shirley driving up and down and stopping at every public
house, into which the defendants went, and had something
to drink. Knowing Franklin was not a man, and as a large
crowd was collecting, he took them to the station.
Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said, in answer to Mr. Beadon, that
Shirley had only been a cabman two months, having pre-
viously been a carman.
Shirley said he was sorry he had had the accident. The
female and another got in, and told him to drive to Swallow-
street.

The female defendant said she had nothing to say. She
had dressed herself and come out for a foolish lark, and
gave the cabman ls. 6d to drive her.
Mr. Beadon said if she was over brought before him
again for such a foolish lark as appearing in moo's clothes,
she might depend upon it he would punish her very
severely. He should fine them 10s. each, or seven days.
The fines were paid, and the female left the court in a
cab amidst the salutes of a large assembly of people.
