MARK-LANE.
The trade for wheat in the country markets, held on
Saturday, ruled heavy, and the prices realised were, in
most instances, about 6d per quarter beneath the late
highest point. Spring corn of all descriptions sold heavily,
at barely late rates. The flour trade was dull, at drooping
prices.

On the Continent the trade for wheat is in a very inac-
tive state, at drooping quotations. For spring corn the
trade is very quiet. At New York the export demand for
wheat and flour has not increased.

Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
were large—viz., 54,682 quarters of wheat, 12,860 barley,
71,082 oats, 500 rye, 113 beans, 1,986 peas, 280 linseed,
5,815 rape and oil seeds, 5,380 maize, 70 sundry seeds, and
835 sacks of flour.

The transactions in seeds wore to a very moderate ex-
tent. East India aniseed and rapeseed are firm in price.
In the value of other seeds there is no change.
There was only a moderate demand for cakes, at barely
late rates.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate. Owing to the large
importation and the fine weather, the trade for all qualities
was very dull. Even the few samples on offer was diffi-
cult of disposal, and prices were quite 3s. per quarter lower
than on Monday last.
The supply of foreign wheat on sale was tolerably large.
In all descriptions sales progressed very slowly, and a de-
cline of 2s. to 3s. per quarter took place in the quotations.
Floating cargoes of wheat gave way in price 2s. per
quarter. Spring corn, afloat, declined Is. per quarter.
Very little English barley was on sale, but the show of
foreign produce was good. The trade was dull, and prices
declined is per quarter.
Malt sold slowly, at bare ly late rates.

Oats were in good supply, and the trade was very inac-
tive. at is per quarter less money.
Beans were in short supply, yet the trade was dull, at is
per, quarter less money.
Peas declined in value to the extent of is per quarter
The market was very moderately supplied.
Flour was dull, and prices declined 2s per 280 lbs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day

MANSION HOUSE.
ROBBERY.—John Dixon, a cigar manufacturer, and John
Smith, a gunmaker, who described themselves as being
resident at Birmingham, were brought before Mr. Alder-
mmaonrrniseosnleoyf £
charged with being concerned in robbing John

From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor was
in the neighbourhood of Bishopsgate-streot the evening
before, and that he had met the prisoners at a public-
house when he treated them to some drink. They all
left together, and when they got to St. Helen's-place,
St. Mary-axe, ono of the prisoners put his hand into his
pocket, and took out the money in question. He iden-
tified the sovereign produced as being the one of which ho
was robbed. _

Smith said that he had met the prosecutor in a public-
house, and that he and the other prisoner treated him to
some ale. He (prosecuto4 had been previously drinking,
and when they left the public-house became so stupid that
he was obliged to lie down on the road. They remained
with him until he recovered himself partially, and on his
coming to his senses he accused them of having robbed
him. He considered they were all the worse for drink.
It appeared that the prisoners wero known to the police,
and the magistrate sentenced them to three months' impri-
sonment and hard labour.

Wimbledon.

GRAND VOLUNTEER REVIEW.
The Wimbledon meeting of 1866, from first to
last the most successful held by the National Rifle
Association, closed on Saturday with corresponding
eclat. The great central marquee, which in its
time plays many parts—a giant sun-shade for re-
posing marksmen, an orchestra for the musicians,
a church on Sundays—by judicious internal adap-
tation of seats, becomes a gallery for spectators ;
with other flanking marquees and enclosures less
costly in their admission fees.
In front of this great central tent a special mar-
quee was erected for the accommodation of the
Royal party, furnished with chairs, some of State
and some for comfort, the turf being covered with
crimson cloth and Turkey carpeting. Right and
left of the Royal marquee were tables, or wings, on
which the more massive and costly of the prizes in
the gift of the Association were displayed. In rear
of the marquee a guard of honour, furnished by
contingentq from all the battalions in the regimental
camp—viz., the Civil Service, Ist Surrey, London
Rifle Brigade, Queen's Westminster, Victorias,
19th Middlesex, and London Scottish, was com-
manded by the senior Lieutenant-Colonel present.
The winners of tho principal prizes, whose names
from day to-day it has been the business of the
statistical department to elicit, were drawn up by
Captain Mildreay in proper order of precedence on
the right of the marquee ; and during the interval
preceding the arrival of the Royal party these
favourites of fortune were the objects of close atten-
tion on the part of the spectators. The ranks in-
cluded many faces familiar at former meetings, but
also a fair proportion of entirely new men.
Shortly after half-past 4 o'clock a distinguished
party, consisting of his Royal Highness the Duke of
Edinburgh; Lord and Lady Elcho, Lord Lichfield,
Lord and Lady Spencer, Lord and Lady Constance
Grosvenor took up their positions under the mar-
quee. A little before 5 o'clock a movement at the
lower or carriage entrance, with the accompanying
cheers, betokened the approach of the Royal party.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of
Wales drove upon the ground in an open carriage
and four, with outriders, and were received with
presented arms by the guard of honour, the band
playing the National Anthem, and the spectators
rising from their seats. Having acknowledged the
respectful greetings of the distinguished company
assembled in the marquee, her Royal Highness,
who wore a blue transparent dress over blue silk,
trimmed with white, and a bonnet to match, was
conducted to the seat of honour. The ceremony
commenced with a short introductory statement on
the part of Lord Elcho, who apprised the assembly
of the great success of the meeting, of the presence
of the different members of the Royal family, and
of the signal honour which her Royal Highness was
about to confer on the Association by presenting the
prizes in person to the successful competitors.
These gentlemen were accordingly called forward
in turn, Captain Mildmay, the secretary of the
Association, presenting the objects of value succes-
sively to her Royal Highness, by whom they were
then placed in the hands of the proper recipients.
In some cases, such, for instance, as the Enfield In-
ternational Trophy, the size and massiveness of the
prize prevented the Princess from doing more than
gracefully pointing to them ; but in every case
where manual delivery was possible her Royal
Highness exerted herself to enhance the value o

the distinction. Mr. Fletcher, of Liverpool, in
plain clothes, but with the badge of the English
Eight upon his arm, led the procession, which was
closed by Private Cameron, in the kilted uniform of
6th Inverness-shire, the winner of the Queen's
Prize. ObNiously none but the more con-

spicuous prizes could be presented, or the ceremony
would have been too protracted. The limitation in
particular cases, however, was not without its at-

tendant hardships. Major Leech, for instance, as
captain of the Irish Twenty, passed in front of the
Royal marquee to receive, on the part of Ireland,
the beautiful international trophy to which the
shooting of his countryman, Mr. Hopkins, entitled
the country ; but for himself he obtained nothing.
Had the money prizes been distributed at the same
time, he would have received from the Princess of
Wales the value of one of the principal carton prizes.
A deputation attended from Harrow to receive the
Ashburton Shield and Spencer Cup ; another from
Oxford to carry off the Chencellor's Plate; but an
incident which gave rise to much laughter and cheer-
ing was when the members of the Scottish Eight,
having had delivered over to them the Elcho Chal-
lenge Shield, shouldered it in business-like fashion,
and set out with a steady pace, as if about to carry
it straight to Scotland. Lord Bury, quitting the
guard of honour for a moment, cantered up on horse-
back and dismounted to receive the first prize which
he had gained in the Albert competition, and then
returned at once to his post. Mr. E. Ross is never
content with a single place in the prize-list ;he made
no less than three appearances in front of the mar-
quee. The China Challenge Cup, value £525, has
not reached this country yet, and could not there-
fore be delivered to the Staffordshire battalion ;
but, judging from the specimen of Chinese work
already in the hands of one Volunteer corps, when
it does arrive it will be, perhaps, the richest trophy
in the gift of the Association. Colonel Lindsay,
of the St. George's Corps, to whom belongs the
credit of providing a popular and productive prize
competition, came forward as usual to place in the
hands of the Association the proceeds of the entries,
handing over this year a purse containing 177
dragon sovereigns." The last of the prize win-
ners, as already stated, was Private Angus Came-
ron, an active little Highlander, aged 19, who re-
ceived with capital bearing and self-composure
the gift and congratulations of the Princess, to
which were added the coral cheering of the spec-
tators and a hearty and fatherly reception by Cap-
tain Horatio Ross on the part of his fellow-country-
men.

The d;stribution of prizes ended, the spectators,
at the invitation of Lord Elcho, united in cheering
the Princess of Wales I%ith unmistakable earnest-
ness and satisfaction. Loud cheers were also given
for the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh,
for Lord Elcho himself, and, finally, for the Queen.
Mounting their carriages, the royal party drove to
the Cottage, where, for about an hour, they re-
mained the guests of Lord Spencer and Lord Elcho,
while the preparations for the review were going
forward.
Before the prizes had been all conferred the com-
mon presented a scene of much animation. Not
merely was there i gathering inside the enclosure at
eves y point where it might be supposed that a favour-
able view of the proceedings could be obtained, but
cavalry, artillery, and infantry were actually march-
ing over the plain before the Royal party quitted
the marquee. It was necessarily late before the
review commenced. The brigades were formed up
much in the order of their arrival, so that a very
accurate list was not obtainable. The names, how-
ever, of the different regiments have already been
published, and the total force present was estimated
at about 7,000. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief, arrived shortly
after 6 o'clock, and was accompanied by Genera
Sir Hope Grant, Major-General Lord W. Paulet,
Major-General Sir David Russell, C. 8., Colonel
Tyrwhitt, Colonel Erskine, Inspector-General of
Volunteers ; Colonel Wright, Metropolitan Inspec-
tor, and Staff. Lord Cardigan, Colonel M'Murdo,
vnd other officers were also on the ground. Lord
Elcho, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Bury, Lieutenant-
Colonel M'Leod of M'Leod, Lieutenant-Colonel
the Hon. C. H. Lindsay, the Marquis of Done-
gan, Lord Grosvenor, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Bigge acted as brigadiers, and no time was lost
in commencing operations, firing having begun
some time before the last of the corps toofk
theup
the position assigned to it. The plan
operations differed from that adoptedonforer
occasions, the volunteers acting as a single force
instead of in opposing divisions. The ground
was kept on this occasion by a squadron of cavalry,
and the mounted police, under Superintendent
Brett, being thus reinforced there was none of that
crowding forward of spectators, interfering so sadly
with the evolutions, and spoiling the effect of the
really admirable review ground at Wimbledon. In
