LEICESTER- SATURDAY.

We bad a fair quantity of wheat, and samples came to
hand in rather better condition. Business was firm, and
good qualities as dear as last week. The show of barley
was tolerable, and prices were rather lower than last week
for all but the finest samples. For oats there was a lair
demand, at rather more money than heretofore. Beans
met a steady'demand at remunerative rates.

YOLK—SATURDAY.
There was a moderato supply of wheat at our market
to-day, samples being mostly of the new crop. Of barley
there was a pretty fair show, and prices advanced about 10
per qr. for inferior sorts ; selected lots quite as dear. Oats
came to hand sparingly, and sold readily, at a slight
im-
provement on former rates. There were few samples of
beans on offer, for which the demand was firm at prices in
favour of the sellers.

The half-yearly inspection of the 3d battalion of
the Grenadier Guards took place on Saturday morn-
ing at the Tower. The regiment, consisting of
eight companies, of about 500 men of all ranks, al-
sembled on the parade-ground punctually at 10
o'clock, under the command of Col. Prince Edward
of Saxe-Weimar, the other officers present being
Capts. Crichton, Gaussen, Stanley, and Pennant,
Col. Keppel, Lieuts. Grosvenor, Garratt, Mont-
gomery, and Lord C. Hamilton ; Capt. and Adjut•
Johnstone, Cols. Bruce, Seymour, and Wydhani
(retired), were also present, with Capts. Smith and
West (aide-de-camps), and Col. Bathurst. The
inspecting officer, on his arrival, assisted by Col.
Seymour and his aides-de-camp, walked round the
ranks and closely inspected the arms and accoutre-
ments of the :men. The inspection of companies
having terminated, the regiment marched past ill
slow and quick time, the latter to the tune of the
British Grenadier, and subsequentty went through
a variety of movements, including the bayonet el-
ercise, the whole of which was admirably executed.
At the conclusion Lord Paulet addressed the NO'
meat in highly congratulatory terms, and after-
wards brought his inspection to a close by visiting
the barrack-rooms. The band, under the leader-_
ship of Mr. Godfrey, was present, to the number of
54 men, and performed a favourite selection of 010'
LORD JUSTICE KNIGHT BRUCE.—The retirement
of Lord Justice Knight Bruce has been often rumoured
it is now determined. His resignation is in the hands of the
Government. The profession will grieve to learn that
severe illness is the immediate cause of that stop being
taken which he has long contemplated, and Sir Jame°
Knight Bruce will take with him into his retirement the
respect and esteem of the lawyers. On the bench, as at the
bar, he was remarkable for the clearness and quickness vri
which he discerned, and the firm grasp with which he bel
to, the points at issue in the cases submitted to
and the rapidity with which, out of a maze of facts, he
could extract such as born upon the question to be
decided, and so marshal them that the dullest could per-
ceive their bearings upon it. He prided himself, not vlitfr.•
out reason, on terse, epigrammatic sentences, often win
and usually wise. These were thrown in among the usual
imperfections of extempore speech, as if they were the in:
spirations of the moment; but they were for the most par'
too neatly turned, and too much in contrast with that
which preceded and followed, to be other than well pre-
pared mots. As a lawyer, he was sharp rather than pre"
found, with a tendency to construe equity as lax JOY
rather than as a distinct branch of the law, and his ineb-
nation to do right sometimes led him to forget that he Well.
