CORN EXCHANGE.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

The country markets held on Faturday were but mode•
rately supplied with wheat, yet most kinds sold slowly at
about previous quotations. In barley—the supplies of
which were by no means extensive—only a limited busi-
ness passing, on former terms. Oats, beans, and peas
sold steadily at full prices, but flour was a dull inquiry.

Tho trade for wheat bas been far from active in the
continental markets. Prices, however, have beon sup-
ported. In spring corn a steady basiness has been trans-
actsl at full quotations.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of home-gr )wn
produce were limited. From abroad we received 5,647
qrs. of wheat, 2,033 barley, 31,714 oats, 1,183 beans, 5
peas, 885 tares, 3,230 linseed, 350 rapeseed, 20 sundry
seeds, and 2,288 sacks of flour.

Fresh up, to-day, from Essex, Kent, &c., by land car-
riage, very few samples came frdsh to hand, and the ar-
rivals by water carriage were on a limited scale. The
stands were, for the most part, scantily supplied, and the
demand was by no means brisk. However, a good demand
was effected at a somewhat earlier period than usual, at
prices qnito equal to those realised on Monday last. In
some instances, fine parcels were is par quarter advance.
We were well supplied with manly all kinds of foreign
wheat. For the most part the transactions wore on a re.
tail scale, yet late rates were well supported. Barley was
in short supply and moderato request, at full prices.
Good and line malt supported fernier terms, but the de-
mand for it was very inactive. Inferior qualities were
much neglected.

Although we have ha 4 a steady influx of foreign oats
the eat trade ruled steady at last Monday's quotations.
Both beans and peas were in short supply and mode-
rato request at fully last week's quotations.
The transactions in flour were only moderate ; neverthe-
less, late rates were steadily supported. The show of
foreign qualities was only moderate.

received 2,950 Scots and short-horns; from othor parts of
Englanfl, 210 of various breeds; from Scotland 100 Scots ;
and from Ireland, 29 oxen. ,

There was a good supply of sheep in the market, both
as to number and quality. Some breeds were in fair re-
quest, at full prices; otherwise, the demand was in a
sluggish state, and in some instances the quotations ruled
a shade lower. _

Lambs were in full average supply, and sluggish re-
quasi' at about stationary prices. About 320 lambs came
fresh to hand from the Isle of Wight.
Calves were in short supply and sluggish request, at
about stationary priced.
In pigs very little was doing, on former terms.

NEWGATB AND LEADENEIALL.
For the time of year the supplies of both town and

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

SUNDAY MoRNING IN THE HAYMARKET.—Ann Jahn
son, a prostitute, was charged with being drunk and
orderly on Sunday morning in the Haymarket, and Wil-
liam Jones, a fashionably-attired young man, was
charged with obstructing the police in the execution of
their duty.

Holder, 297 A, said that early on Sunday morning,
he saw the female prisoner drunk in the Haymarket,
and having told her to go away, and elle refusing, he
attempted to take her i..to custody, when the male pri
sorer came up and said, " Well, I3obbies, you need nut
treat the female so. You Peelers had better mind what
you are about." lla to:d him not to interfere, when he
commenced hissing and groaning, which the mob that
had assemble.' took up by groaning also.
Prisoner—You say I said Bobbies. Why, I never
heard the word before, hardly.
Another constable was called, and said he heard him
make use of the word "Bobby," and groan and
hiss at them while faking the woman into custody.
Prisoner—l never groaned or hissed at all. I merely
thought the police were too rougb, and told them to
" mind, for she was but a woman."
Mr. Bingham --Yen have no right to interfere at all.
If thieves and other low persons found a person like him
with a respectable coat on his back, acting as he did,
there was no knowing what might be the consequences.
The police were properly doing their duty in removing a
Oranken prostitute—one of that clan, against whom there
were so many complaints. He Lad no right to interfere
except in a case where there was extreme violence being
need, and as there was not any in this case, he must pay
a flue of 40a., and the female sa.
