THAMES.

SMUGGLING FOREIGN CD:ans.—Johannes Andersen, Ed-
ward Holenberg, and Andre Rosensen, Swedish seamen,
were brought before Mr. Paget charged with smuggling
91bs. of foreign cigars.
Last night, at 8 o'clock, Inspectors Major and Clarke, of
the Thames Police, were in Cable-street, Whitechapel, and
saw the prisoners, who appeared rather bulky. They fol-
lowed them into an earthenware shop in the same street,
where Rosensen went into a back room while his compa-
nions remained in the shop. Major went into the back
room and found Rosensen taking cigars from between his
clothes and his shirt and putting them on a table. He was
completely surrounded with cigars, and 51bs. were taken.
Inspector Clarke took Andersen and Rosenberg into cus-
tody in the shop, and found upon each of them 21bs. of
cigars secreted about their persons. There were also
a few more sewed up in the lining of their jackets. The
value of the cigars taken from Rosensen was 505., or 10s.
per pound. The cigars taken from each of the other pri-
soners were valued at 20s. only.

Mr. Paget—What are the piisoners?
An Interpreter—Ordinary seamen on board a Swedish
ship.

Mr. Paget convicted the prisoners, under the Customs
Act, in the single value and duty. He ordered Roseman
to pay a fine of 505., and the others 20s. each.

MARKETS.--This day.

MARK-LANE.

Our market, to-day, was very scantily supplied with
English wheat. The sale for all kinds, however, was very
inactive, at about Monday's currency.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stand. As the attendance of buyers was limited, sales
progressed slowly, at late rates. The imports are large.
Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inquiry.
Both English and foreign barley was a dull inquiry, at
about stationary prices.

Malt realised former terms, with a moderate inquiry. The
supply was good.
The show of foreign oats was large, and all kinds met a
dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices.
Beans and peas commanded extrome rates, owing to
their scarcity.
No change took place in the value of flour.

SUNDAY SCHOLARS' OFFERING ON 'BEHALF OF
THE HOMELESS BOYS OF LONDON AND THE ALBERT
ORPHAN ASYLUM.—Great preparations are in progress for
a large gathering of Sunday-school children to sing in the
Handel Orchestra of the Crystal Palace on some day
in the month of August next. The children who
will take part in the concert will be selected from
all the principal Sunday-schools in the metropolis,
who with their teachers will number about 6,000
singers. As so large a number of Sunday schools,
with the congregations to which they belong, will
be interested in this delightful movement, it is anticipated
that the attendance at the Crystal Palace will be one of
the largest of the season. The programme will be
selected by a committee of gentlemen, on whose judgment
every reliance can be placed,. and only that kiad of music
will be sung which can be introduced with propriety on
such an interesting occasion.

BANNS OF MATIUMONY.—The bill to fix the law
on this subject was issued yesterday morning. It
refers to the act George IV, directing banns of matrimony
to be published immediately after the Second Lesson,
and states that as marriages have been solemnised after
publication of banns at different times during the morning
service doubts as to the legality of the proceding have
been entertained. It therefore provides that—(l.) In
the interpretation of the said recited act the words " imme-
diately after the Second Lesson"in the second section of the
said act shall apply and be taken to apply to the time of
morning service as well as to the time of evening service.
(2.) No marriage solemnised before tho passing of this act
after any publication of banns during the time of morning
service shall ba or be held to be invalid by reason of any
irregularity in the time of publication. (3.) No clergyman
who before the passing of this act shall havo solemnised
matrimony after any publication of banns during the time
of morning service shall be punishable under the 21st sec-
tion of the said recited act, by reason of his having solem-
nised the same after any publication as aforesaid.

KINROSS.—SINGULAR MORTALITY AMONG SWAL-
Lows.—Yesterday morning large numbers of swallows
were found lying dead and dying in various places in this
neighbourhood. It is thought that the very cold weather
which has prevailed for several days has been the eause of
this singular mortality.
