CORN EXCHANGE.

The whole of the country markets, held on Saturday,
were but moderately supplied with wheat ; nevertheless, all
kinds met a dull inquiry, and prices exhibited a drooping
tendency. Barley and all other Spring corn moved off
slowly, at barely late rates.
Throughout the Continent wheat has come forward
somewhat freely, and the quotations have ruled in favour
of buyers. A steady business has been transacted in Spring
corn. In the United States, both wheat and flour have been

drooping.
The imports of foreign produce into London, last week
were very large, viz., 61,479 qrs of wheat, 12,246 barley,
53,284 oats, 420 rye, 175 beans, 1,213 peas, 1,175 linseed,
5,850 rapeseed, 800 maize, 15,431 sacks and 25 barrels of
flour.

The arrivals of English wheat up to our market this
morning, coastwise and by land carriage, were only mode-
rate, but we had. several of last week's unsold sam-
ples-on. offer. Millers generally showed no disposition to
operate ; owing to the continued influx of produce from
abroad, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce
was heavy in the extreme, and prices were nominally 2s to
3s per quarter lower than on Monday last.
As most of the wheat now arriving from abroad is going
direct to the millers, the show of foreign wheat exhibited
only a trifling increase, compared with last week. The
trade, however, was excessively heavy, at nominally lower
prices.
There was scarcely any inquiry for floating cargoes of
grain off Falmouth.
Most kinds of barley sold on former terms, but the
demand was in a sluggish state.
All kinds of malt changed hands slowly at about last
week's quotations.
Oats were very dull, and 6d to is per qr. lower than on
Monday last.

Both beans and peas were in short supply and moderate
request at late rates.
• Flour sold heavily, and country marks gave way fully is

LATY INTBLZIGENCE.-(THIS _DAE)

(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.)
ATTORNEY'-GENERAL V. PA.YNE.-JUDGMENT.
His Honour, the master of the Rolls, said—l do not
think it desirable in this case to enter into the question
which has 'been argued before me, in which they seencti)
advert to the whole of the points which were then recited
and referred to by Lord Langdale. In judging of the dicta
of his lordship laid down in the decision of that case, re(
ferred to in the sixth vol. of Bevon, whether it is correct or
not it is not necessary that I should consider it in disposing
of the question with respect to the validity of these leases ;
besides, there are very serious doubts entertained on the
points referred to in the opinion of Vice-Chancellor Sir R.
Kindersley, in the case of Vansittart, sixth vol. Vessey ;
but I do not require to go any further into that mat-
ter than I :have hitherto done. His Honour observed
that there was a difference between this case and the case
of Morland College, but the principles of decision were the
same. In the case of Morland College the alienation was
in fee simple, and the House of Lords held that it was
barred—that it was barredby the statute against alienation
'—besides, there were persons in distance who were then
entitled to enter upon the property conveyed, and that
there was a right to recover the rents and profits vested in
those persons. His Honour said—l have considered the
case, and I awn of opinion that the leases granted by the
Master of this Hospital, for a rent of £l5 per annum, is as
much an alienation of the property of the hospital pro
tanto, as the alienation in fee simple by the Morland Col-
lege. Besides, there were persons since 1822 entitled to
enter on these lands. I cannot support such leases.
His Honour dismissed the information, without costs,
except costs of the trustees.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY,
IN RE SLATER.

This bankrupt was described as -of Bagnigg,e-wells-road
and Maida-hill, grocer, and this was a meeting for con-
sideration of his certificate.

This bankrupt came before the court on his own petition,
and was opposed on the ground that he had fraudulently
contracted a debt with a Mr. Marchant, from whom he had
borrowed a sum of £lOO to take up a bill coming due, and
to induce him to do so, made several false statements.
Evidence had been taken at very great length, and Mr.
Merchant's statement was contradicted by the bankrupt.
His Honour, after going through the whole of the
evidence, said—He 'could not come to any other
conclusion than that Mr. Merchant had stated
the truth, all that he had said being perfectly con-
sistent, and that of the bankrupt quite inconsistent, who,
no doubt, in order to escape severe penalties, strained his
conscience. His Honour said that there could be no ques-
tion that in establishing a business in a new neighbour-
hood, the middle class of tradesmen might require tempo-
rary assistance, and if rendered by one neighbour to
another, it was of the greatest importance 'that the strictest
truth should be preserved; otherwise assistance might, in
another case, be refused to a deserving man. He considered
the debt had been contracted by fraudulent misrepresenta-
tion, and he should therefore suspend the certificate (3d
class) for six months, without protection, if objected to by
the opposing creditors, and reserved this question for a week. li

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

The June Sessions of the Central Criminal Court com-
menced this morning. Although only the ordinary period
has elapsed since the last session there are 111 prisoners for
trial, which is a larger number than usual. Among the
charges are three of murder, viz., Henry Adams, charged
with the murder of his sister-in-law; Jeremiah Coghlan,
charged with the murder of a fellow-labourer; and Dr.
Smethurst, charged with the murder of Miss Bankes, by
administering to her doses of arsenic. Since the committal
it is said that additional important evidence has been ob-
tained, and it is supposed that, in the event of the bills of
indictment being found by the grand jury, an application
will be made to postpone the trial till next sessions. Be-
sides these cases there are several charges of manslaughter
—one arising out of the death of a young man who was
drowned in the River Lea, his death being alleged to have
been caused by the leaking of the boat which had been hired
on the occasion, and was in an unfit condition. The charge
against Mr. Newton for alleged libel respecting the trial of
" Gardner v. Godfrey," is also on the list.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(7711S DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A SCENE IN THE STREETS.—Frances Thompson, who
stated she was the wife of a Captain Thompson, was placed
before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and riotous
in front of a public supper-room, in Princes-street, St.
Anne's, Soho. .

It appeared from the evidence that at about twelve on
Saturday night, police-constable 145 C, saw the defendant,
who was very fashicnably attired, lying at full length on
the pavement at the above spot, with another female by her
side. The constable and female tried to raise her up.
After she was on her feet she complained of being thrown
out from the supper room, but as she was drunk he told her
to go away, when she became very riotous and he was com-
pelled to spring his rattle and send for assistance. Upon
arriving at the station the inspector offered to let her go,
but she again became very violent and consequently was
kept in charge.

Catherine Douglas said she lived, along with her "lady
friend," at 8, Brompton-square. They left home about
four in the afternoon, and went to the Baker-street Bazaar,
and remained out till 11, when they had two glasses of port
wine each with some "lady friends," after which they
drove round, when it was proposed that they should go to
the supper-rooms in Princes-street to supper. Upon going
up a long passage in the house they were met by a "rough
man," who refused them admittance, and upon her friend
expostulating, the man took her by the shoulder and pushed
her violently on the ground, which caused her to be there
when the policeman came up.
A solicitor who attended cross-examined the policeman at
some length, but failed to prove the prisoner was not drunk.
The inspector who took the charge proved her being
drunk.

Miss Douglas said thby could not be drunk, as they only
had two glasses of port, and that would not make them

Mr. Bingham—That all depends. Two-thirds of that
port of which you partook might be composed of logwood
and brandy and the other third sloe -juice, which might
have an effect on any modest woman, as it would also if you
took it on an ompty stomach. I believe the prisoner was
drunk, and I shall fine her ss.

TATTERS4LLS'-( THIS E VEXING.)

The betting on the Ascot Stakes was not over brisk;
Roman Candle receded from 6 to 1 to 12 to '1 offered,
and Compromise was 'first favourite at the close. Lea-
mington was firm for the Cup, and North Lincoln was in
some demand at 4to 1. The other quotations call for no
especial remark.
