MARKETS.---This Day.

MARK-LANE.
Tho trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled quiet, and in some instances prices were
somewhat easier. For spring corn the demand ruled
heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Flour sold
slowly, at late rates.
On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, without ma-
terial change in prices.
At New York very little business is doing for export to
Great Britain. Large shipments of oats have recently been
made from Canada to Europe.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
consisted of 17,414 quarters of wheat, 6,000 barley, 134,811
oats, 2,292 beans, 4,855 peas, 4,066 linseed, 10,824 rape-
seed, 23,310 maize, 1,030 sundry seeds, 117 sacks and 1,425
barrels of flour.
The demand for seeds ruled inactive, at last Monday's
currency. East India linseed and rapeseed were firm.
Cakes were in fair demand, and American descriptions
were rather firmer.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate. Tho trade for all qua-
lities was firm, and higher prices were demanded. Millers,
however, appeared indisposed to make extensive purchases,
and sales generally progressed slowly. Last Monday's
currency, however, was well supported, and in some in-
stances fine wheats showed a slight improvement in value.
The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. The
amount of business transacted was only moderate; never-
theless, prices ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of wheat were held at full prices.
Spring corn afloat were but little inquired for.
Tho supply of English barley on sale was small ; of
foreign, moderate. The trade was quiet, on former terms.
Malt sold slowly at late rates.
Oats were in large supply. Good and fine corn was firm
in price, but inferior qualities were dull, and 6d to is per
quarter cheaper than on Monday last.
Beans met a slow sale, at barely late rates.
Peas very dull and prices had a drooping tendency.
Flour met a slow sale, on former terms.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
The supply of foreign stock on sale hero to-day was
tolerably extensive, and in fair condition. Most of the
French beasts were very goad. Sales progressed slowly
on rather easier terms.
With home-fed beasts we were fairly supplied. The
grass-fed stock came to hand in prime condition. The
arrivals from Ireland and Scotland were very limited.
For all breeds the demand was in a sluggish state, at a
decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of
2d per Sibs. The extreme top prico was 5s Gd per Sibs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,200 short horns
from other parts of England, 600 various breeds from
Scotland, 43 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 50
oxen, &c.
The show of English sheep was tolerably good, and
most breeds were very prime. Downs and half-breds, in-
cluding prime Leicesters, &c., moved off freely, at fully
last week's currency ; but most other breeds were a slow
inquiry, on former terms.
We had a dull trade for lambs—the supply of which was
on the average—on easier terms, viz., from 6s 8d to 7s 8d
per 81bs.
Calves wore in fair average supply, and sluggish request,
at last week's prices.
In pigs, very little was doing ; nevertheless, the quota-
tions were supported.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

DOW-STREET.

THE NEW "JACK SILEPPARD."—John Norman, a pre-
cociously cunning-looking urchin of about ten years of
age, was charged with being found in a stable in Clare-
street, Clare-market, belonging to Mr. Mumford, flour and
corn dealer of Newcastle-street, Strand, supposed to be
there for an unlawful purpose.

Charles Walker, a carman in the serN:co of Mr. Mum-
ford, stated that on Saturday night he went to tho stable
to feed his horses and found the prisoner in a chaff-bin;
he was covered over with a sack. The prisoner said no-
thing.

In answer to the magistrate,
The prisoner said that a big boy employed at the .hop
gave him leave to sleep there.

Mr. Burnaby (the chief clerk)—l suppose thorn are lots
things about the stable that anybody might steal?
Witness—Oh, lots of things, sir.
Mr. Burnaby—ls he known ?

Police-constable Judman, F 81, who took the prisoner
in custody, said the prisoner was in custody in February,
1865, for being concerned, with two others, in stealing
20 books from a shop in Russell-court ; in October,
together with his sister, for breaking into a chandler's
shop at 5 o'clock in the morning. On each occasion he
was liberated after a short remand. He had on another
occasion been charged with stealing strawberries in Covent-
garden Market.
Another incident in the career of the prisoner, who is
known by tho soubriquet of " Jack Sheppard," is that
shortly before Christmas last he took upon himself to drive
a score of sheep from Shepherd's Bush to Great Queen-
street, Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, without the consent of the
owner. There he was stopped, and the sheep were re-
turned to their owner. On that occasion the prisoner
being asked what he was going to do with the sheep, re-
plied that he wanted to "kill one at a time, as he wanted
it."

The prisoner said he had been locked up by his mother
for a week, because ho had lost a pair of shoes worth 2s.
6d. belonging to his sister—the little ono now at home—
and having escaped from the window by means of a rope
attached to the bedstead, he thought he would stop away
till he could make up the half-crown. After being about
the streets all Friday night, he was going to stop out
Saturday night, too, but a boy opened the stable door
with a key, and said ho might sleep there till five o'c:ock
in the morning, promising to let him out at that hour.
The prisoner's mother here came forward and said the
prisoner was the "most unruliest boy as ever was," and
do what she would there was no keeping him at school.
Mr. Flowers—Do you think he would stay at school if I
sent him there ? _ _ _

The mother said she could not afford to pay for him, as
•ne of his sisters was "away" already.
Inspector Brannan said nearly all the family were away,
and the sister alluded to was as bad as the prisoner.
He was remanded, with a view to the necessary arrange-
ments for his committal to a reformatory.
