CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited
business was transacted, at about stationary prices. There
was a fair sale for barley, oats, beans, and peas ; but flour
met a dull inquiry.

The continental markets have continued somewhat heavy
for wheat. Spring corn, however, has commanded full
prices. In the United States, produce, generally, has ruled
steady.

Very moderate supplies of English grain arrived up to
our market last week. The imports from abroad were
seasonably good, viz., 5,677 qrs of wheat, 45,374 of barley,
13,956 oats, 80 beans, 5 peas, 200 tares, 1,1795 linseed, 2,680
rapeseed, 440 sundry seeds, and 511 sacks of flour.

_ .
An unusually small supply of English wheat came fresh
to hand this morning coastwise and by land carriage, but
its general condition was somewhat improved. Although
several of last week's unsold samples were on offer, the
stands were scantily filled. The attendance of both town
and country millers was by no means numerous, yet we had
a fair demand for nearly all kinds of wheat of home pro-
duce, at last Mondiy's currency.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Good and
fine qualities were held firmly, at full quotations. Low and
damp parcels moved off heavily, at barely late rates.
Floating cargoes of grain were at slow inquiry.
Fine English barley was scarce, and in request, at full
quotations ; but inferior foreign parcels were a slow inquiry .
The malt trade was heavy, at barely last week's quota-
tions.
Oats were in very moderate supply, and steady request, a
fully previous rates.
Their was a steady inquiry for beans, the prices of which
advanced is. per quarter.
Peas moved off steadily at late rates.
In the value of flour, no change took place. The demand
may be considered steady.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

The adjourned sessions at this court commenced this
morning, before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the
other civic authorities.
The Recorder, in charging the grand jury, congratulated
them -on the state of the calendar, which contained a fewer
number of prisoners for trial than usual. There was no
charge of wilful murder, and .only one of manslaughter,
and that was rather of a peculiar character. The facts were
to a certain extent involved in obscurity, and the deposi-
tions, as was frequently the case, were so badly written
that it was almost impossible to read them. The prisoner
ran against the•deceased and knocked him down. He was
taken to the hospital, but death eventually ensued, and
the question for the jury will be—first, whether the injury
was occasioned by the prisoner, and, next, whether that
injury was the cause of death ; and, if it should be
made out that the deceased was knocked down
accidentally, and that the prisoner had no intention of
causing any mishap, in that case the death would have
arisen from misadventure, and the prisoner would not be
liable to a criminal charge.• There was a charge against a
mother of throwing her child out of a window. It appeared
from the evidence that the woman was roused by an alarm
of fire, and that she seized her child and throw it out of the
window, at the same time crying out " Save my child." If
they should be of opinion that she really intended to endea-
vour to preserve her child from fire, then they would be jus-
tified in finding a bill of assault only. The other case alluded
to by the learned judge was that of Ann Collyer, charged
with setting fire to her master's house. 110 said, before the
jury could return a true bill against her they must be satis-
fied that the fire could not have taken place accidentally,
and that the evidence excluded the supposition that the act
could have been committed by any other person. If, in the
exercise of their duties, the jury should stand in need of
any assistance he would render the required aid imme-
diately.
The grand jury then retired, and after a short time the
trial of the prisoners was proceeded with.
Reuben Michael, a respectably-attired man, was in-
dicted for perjury, which it was alleged was committed
before Mr. Justice Willes, at the sittings at Guildhall, at a
trial in which the prisoner was the plaintiff.
Mr. Orrige, in stating the case against the prisoner, was
stopped by the Recorder observing that he did not see in
the depositions any corroborative evidence of the charge
• against the prisoner. It was a well-known fact that a
charge of perjury could nut rest on the evidence of one
person. Mr. Orrige said all the evidence ho had to offer
appeared on the depositions.
The Recorder said it was insufficient, when a verdict of
not guilty was immediately returned, and the prisoner was
discharged.
Daniel Chilvers was indicted for stealing, at West
Ham, 221bs. of brass fittings, the property of the Eastern
Counties Railway, also with feloniously receiving the
same, well knowing it to be stolen, and also with having
been previously convicted of felony.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
The Recorder, before passing sentence, called for the -
certificate of the former conviction. The document set forth
that Chilvers had been convicted in 1844, 1855, and 1856.
An inspector of the Metropolitan Police then informed
the Court that the prisoner, after the three conviction* ust
mentioned, was also confined for 12 months in Maidstone
Gaol for a very daring robbery. The police had for some
time been on the look-out for him, as he was considered one
of the most expert thieves in London.
The Recorder said it appeared that lenient punishment
had no effect on the prisoner, who would, however, for
some time to come, be well looked after, as the sentence of
the Court was that he be kept in penal servitude for four
years.

Mary Sloman pleaded guilty to an indictment charging
her with feloniously concealing the body of her dead child
in a cellar.
Sentence deferred.

POLICE IN2'ELLIGENCE.-(7IIIS DAT.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

AN INCORRIGIBLE SON.—Joseph Benjamin, 17, who
has been at this court twice before on similar charges, was
brought before Mr. Beadon, charged with robbing his
father, Samuel Benjamin, general dealer, of 28, Little
Pulteney-street, of a cap and 17s.

Mr. Benjamin said the prisoner, his son, had only been
out of the House of Correction ono month, during which
time he had robbed him four times. On the night of
Thursday last, he having absented himself for eight days
previously, he managed to secrete himself in tho house just
before midnight, and the next morning he found that his
two other sons had been robbed of .17s. On his being met
with on Sunday morning, and taxed with stealing the cap
ho wore, and the money, he admitted he had stolen 14s.
He did not know what to do with him.

Mr. Beadon asked the prisoner, if he could get him into
a reformatory, whether he would go.
The prisoner said he would.

Mr. Beadon then remanded the prisoner for a week.
A BEGGING PICKPOCKET. —Ann Selaney, a female with
an infant in her arms, was charged with picking the pocket
of Mr. Arthur Wheeler, of 15, George-street, Grosvenor-
square.

The prisoner followed the prosecutor in the Haymarket
on the previous evening, and, on his feeling a tug at his
pocket and turning round, she asked him for a penny. He
then put his hand to his pocket, and at once taxed her
with stealing hs silk handkerchief. This she denied, and
said he could convince himself by going to her lodgings,
but, on a constable coming up, she handed from her bosom
the handkerchief.

Mr. Inspector 'Webb said she had been charged once
before with an exactly similar offence.
Committed for four months.
