CORN EXCHANGE.
The supply of English wheat on offer in to-day's market
was limited, and chiefly composed of Monday's unsold
samples. For all kinds we had a slow inquiry, but no
further change took place in the quotations.
Upwards of 9,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come
just to hand. Even the finest qualities met a dull enquiry,
at barely Saturday's prices.
Both barley and malt moved off slowly, at Monday's
currency.
Oats were in moderate supply, and a slow sale, at late
rates.

Beans and peas were almost nominal.
Theibs. nominal top price of torn made flour was 43s per
28

WHITECHAPEL.
Each kind of meat was in good supply, and sluggish
request, as follows : —Beef, from 2s lOd to •4s 2d ; mutton,
3s 2d to 4s 6d ; lamb, Os Od to Os Od ; veal, 38 10d to
4s 101 ; pork, 3s 2d to 4s 6d per Sibs by the carcase.

BOROUGH HOP.
Fine hops support the recent advance, but the demand
for th©m is by no means active. All other qualities are
dull.

A MARRIED WOMAN'S RIGHTS OF PROPERTY.-4
must yet give you some information about the rights of
property in married women. Both real and personal
estate may be settled upon a woman for her separate
use, so as wholly to exclude any right of the husband,
and such a provision generally enables the woman,
although married, to dispose of it by alienation ; but
this may be, and frequently is guarded against by
an express clause against anticipation, which, during
the marriage, effectually prevents any alienation of
the fund. A wife having a separate estate cannot
be compelled to contribute to the family wants or to
maintain her children. Although a married woman
with her husband can convey or transfer all her in-
terests in real property, yet neither she nor her hus-
band can deprive her of any interest provided for her out
of mere personal estate—funded property for example—
to take effect on her husband's death. S that if you
provide a portion for your daughter on her marriage,
and settle it on her husband for life, and then on your
daughter for life, and then to the children, you may f•-el
assured that your daughter will benefit by your bounty
on her husband's death. Many attempts have been
made in Parliament to take away this security,
and to enable the husband and wife ti sell her life
interest, and se strip the woman of the provision
made fur her. These attempts have hitherto been
successfully resisted, but a partial measure has
just been carried, providing that married women
may, by deed, acknowledge in manner required by the
act, with their husband's concurrence, dispose of every
future or reversionary interest to which the woman, or
her husband in her right, shall be entitled in any personal
estate under any instrument made after the 31st Decem-
ber, 1F57, or r-!incrii,,b or r-len-e al:y power she bas,
her i ig4t of equity to a settlement out of any personal
estate ; but this power does not extend to any rever-
sionary interest which is restricted from alienating, nor
does it enable her to dispose of any interest in personal
estate settled upon her by any settlement, or agreement
for a settlement, made on the occasion of her marriage.
