MARK-LANE.

Trade in the country markets held on Saturday was quiet
in the extreme. Both in wheat and spring corn the busi-
ness transacted was very moderate, and, with the excep-
tion of oats, which exhibited firmness, the tendency of
prices was decidedly in favour of buyers. There was a
limited demand for flour at late rates.
On the Continent the wheat trade is dull on rather easier
terms. Oats are in request for export, but other kinds of
spring corn are very inactive. At New York there has
been a fair demand for wheat, flour, and maize for ship-
ment.

Only moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
consisted of 3,389 quarters of wheat, 3,570 barley, 10,299
oats, 180 rye, 582 beans, 400 peas, 66 tares, 4,293 linseed,
7,574 rape seed, 2,700 maize, 200 sundry seeds, 1,598 sacks
and 107 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home-
grown wheat were but moderate. The condition of the
produce was very inferior. The trade for the finest samples
ruled inactive ; nevertheless, the supply:of good and dry
produce on the stands was disposed of at the prices of
Monday last. Damp produce was very unsalable, and a
considerable proportion was left unsold at the close of
business.

About an average supply of foreign wheat was on offer.
The demand for all descriptions ruled inactive, but with-
out any material change in value from Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request
at late rates.

The supply of barley on sale was moderate. The trade
for all descriptions ruled quiet on former terms.
Malt was dull at about stationary prices.
The supply of oats on sale was only moderate. The
trade in consequence was decidedly firm, and in some in-
stances rather higher prices were demanded.
With beans the market was less extensively supplied.
The trade was steadier than on Monday last; nevertheless,
the business done was at that day's decline in the quota-
tions.

Grey peas were dull at fully the late reduction in prices.
White peas moved off slowly at late rates. For other
kinds the trade was quiet.
The flour trade was very quiet ; the business done both
in English and foreign qualities was limited, at the rates
current on Monday last.

SHROPSHIRE.

The plague continues to range violently in the

WESTMINSTER.

A CONVICT AND HIS CAREER.—AIfred Pike, a man about
30 years of age, was charged under the following circum-
stances :

Police-constable Hunt, 261 A, said that on Saturday
night he was called to a public-house in Lupus-street,
Pimlico, to remove the prisoner, who was creating a dig-
turbance these. Prisoner declared ho would not go until
he had something to drink, when complainant informed
him that the landlord would not serve him as he was
drunk. Complainant got prisoner out once, but he re-
turned, and then, on complainant endeavouring to remove
him, he struck him violently. Complainant showed him
his truncheon, thinking that would deter him from further
violence, but ho only became worse than bcfore. Ho was
at last got to the station.
Prisoner said that he was so drunk that he did not re-
member anything that had occurred.

Mr. F. Matthews, the landlord of the house, said that
prisoner came in last Saturday night. He refused to serge
him because he was drunk, and he then became very out-
rageous and violent, and the constable was fetched.
Mr. Selfo—ls anything known of the prisoner?
Inspector Humphries—He is a convict on leave. I have
known him for years. He is doing his very best by honest
industry to retrieve his character. Ho works very hard
at his trade. The offence for which he was sent away was
maliciously wounding. There is only seven days unex-
pired of his term.

Mr. Selfe (to prisoner)—Your conduct is extremely
foolish as your penalty is still hanging over you. The
circumstance of refusing to leave the house when desired
renders you liable to a penalty of 40s. lam very glad to
hear you are working hard for your living, but I cannot
pass over this offence. You are committed for 14 days.
London, England, 1866-01-15

HILL V. FINNEY.

His lordship summed up in this case this morning
at half-past ten o'clock. He commenced by con-
gratulating the jury on this protracted inquiry
having come to its last stage. It was a case most
complicated in character, numerous in facts, and con-
flicting in evidence, and it was to be regretted that
the time of 12 gentlemen engaged in business should
have been occupied in hearing such a case, which
was better adapted to the atmosphere of the Divorce
Court than to the City of London. The importance
of the case to the parties it was impossible to exag-
gerate. The plaintiff was afforded the last oppor-
tunity by this trial of retrieving his character from
the dark stain resting on it, and restoring him to
his moral and professional position. To the de-
fendant it was of the greatest importance, and other
persons, not parties to the suit, were deeply
involved in the issues raised. In order to
establish his case the plaintiff had charged
his own wife with conspiracy, and as
great treachery as could be well conceived. The
plaintiff complained that in a suit promoted by his
wife in the Divorce Court he had a defence, and
that he had lost an opportunity of making that
defence by the advice of the defendant, who acted
as his legal adviser. That advice, as specifically
stated, was that if plaintiff would consent to his wife
obtaining a judicial separation, the judge would
make the decree without requiring the hearing of
any evidence that would affect his character as an
officer and a gentleman. On the faith of that statement
the plaintiff gave his consent to withdraw his defence,
but the Judge refused to make a decree without
hearing evidence. The plaintiff stated that he had
a good defence, and would have been able to deny
the charges of his wife in the witness-box. In con-
sequence of not having defended the case, his
honour was tarnished, his military position endan-
gered, his commission threatened and a career
which commenced in distinction, was likely to be
brought to an abrupt and disgraceful termination.
Te that complaint he made answer, in the first
place, that he had not given the advice
alleged, for what he said was, that if pos-
sible the plaintiff should submit to a decree, but
that if he would not consent to that course, as he
did not believe his statements, he (defendant)
thought there was no evidence to go to a jury,
but that he might get other advice, but that he
(defendant) must retire from the suit. In the
second place, he said he told the plaintiff that if he
went to trial he would lose. After some further
introductory observations, his lordship then went
though the evidence at great length.
The case had not concluded when we went to
press.

The total imports of foreign stock into London, last week,
amounted to 6,372 head. In the corresponding week in
1865, we received 4,081; in 1864, 2,032; in 1863,
4,650 ; in 1862, 1,667 ; in 1861, 306 ; and in 1860,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,200 Scots and crosses, and from Lincolnshire
1,000 short horns ; from other parts of England, 500 vari-
ous breeds ; from Scotland, 800 Scots and crosses ; and
from Ireland, 200 oxen and heifers.
There was about an average supply of sheep on offer,
and the quality of most breeds was prime. The demand
was rather heavy, and in some instances the quotations
had a drooping tendency. The best old Downs and the
best half-breds sold at 6s 4d to 6s 8d per 81b.

Calves, the show of which was limited, were in fair
request at late currencies—viz., from 4s to 5s per 81b.
There was a steady sale for pigs at last week's quotations.
The supply was moderately good.
The supply of foreign boasts on offer here to-day was
only moderate, of sheep tolerably good for the time of the
year. Some of the latter from Holland were out of the
wool. The show of foreign calves was rather limited.
The arrival of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts, as well as from Ireland, were only moderate, and in
but middling condition. From Scotland the supply was
good, and of ex3ellent quality. An official notice having
been issued to the.effect that all beasts purchased in this
market must in future be slaughtered within four miles of
the centre of London, the beef trade was very inactive at
last week's prices. Scots and crosses sold at 4s. 10d. to
ss. 2d. per 81b.

• would be enabled to open up a new world in that vast
field, the Hudson's Bay territory. The material resources
of Canada were boundless ; but let no one think that
there, any more than in the States, he was going to pick
up gold for the trouble of asking for it. A man might
perhaps amass a good fortune after thrift and care and
a life of toil, but he must have a pair of stout arms, a good
constitution, and a little capital to commence with. Skilled
artisans were in demand, but schoolmasters and gover-
nesses were at a discount, and nothing was more sad than
to see such poor people constantly performing the feats of
subtraction and division in what little money they had
instead of multiplying it. The noble lord then returned
to the States, and proceeded to speak of Concord, where
the first levying of troops by Massachusetts against the
English Government took place, and where the practice of
tarring and feathering was first introduced. It was said
it was first put in force by an English colonel on an Ame-
rican militiaman. The Americans were, however, in the
habit of declaring that every bad custom came from Eng-
land, and every good one from themselves. (Laughter.) His
lordship next referred to Lowell and its industry, remark-
ing that the famous shoddy cloth, which put such large
fortunes into the pockets of army contractors during the
late war, was first manufactured here. Touching next
upon Boston, his lordship referred to the monument
erected to commemorate the alleged American victory at
Bunker's Hill. The English, however, he said, remained
in possession of the battle-field, and, although it suited
American vanity to call the action an American victory,
no impartial historian had ever ventured to claim it as
such. Boston was a beautiful town, with a certain fresh-
ness about it very attractive to strangers. Referring in
complimentary terms to the hospitals in Boston, the noble
lord said American public establishments were distin-\
guished by greater economy than English, and the Ame-
ricans were also remarkable for the ready and ingenious
manner in which they turned everything to account. This
power of adapting themselves to circumstances, and mak-
ing the most of what they had, was one of the great
secrets of their national success. Lawyers, doctors,
traders, and mechanics, who took part in the late war, re-
turned, when it was brought to a close, to commerce and
their old occupations, just as if nothing had happened.
General Lee, whose campaigns might be mentioned among
those of the greatest generals, did not retire into private
life, but undertook the monotonous duties of president of
a military college ; whilst the Federal General Sherman,
who might almost have dictated the policy of the Republic,
returned to the drudgery of a lawyer's office in a small
country town. Conduct such as this reminded one of the
old Romans, who saved the State one day and wielded a
plough the next. (Chem s).
A cordial vote of thanks was accorded to the noble lord
for his interesting lecture.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

'Before Chief Justice Erie and Justices Willes,
Keating, and Smith.)
ACEBELL V. BESLEY.

The Solicitor-General moved in this case for a
rule for a new trail. The action was tried before
Chief Justice Earl at Guildhall, and a verdict given
for the plaintiff, with leave to move to enter it for
the defendant. The action was for the recovery of
the value of a certain vessel which was lost in con-
sequence, it was alleged, of the negligence of the
defendant, who was a wharfinger, at Chamber-
lain's-wharf. The ship was moored in the
river outside the wharf of the defendant, and he
told the plaintiff that the vessel could safely lie off
the wharf, not knowing there was an obstruction in
a mud-bank in the immediate spot. He also said he
had only come into the possession of the wharf a few
days previous to the accident, and therefore he could
not be said to be guilty of neglience. The jury
gave a verdict for the plaintiff, and he now moved
for a rule on the ground of misdirection, and also
on the point reserved at the trial.
The Court granted a rule to show cause.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Registrar Spring Rice.)
IN RE DUNSTAN-HEAVY FAILURE.
This bankrupt was described as of Mayday-road,
one of the directors of the Commercial Union Wine
Company (Limited), which is now being wound up
in the Court of Chancery, and he is the second
director who has appealed to this court for relief
from liabilities incurred " through becoming a
director of the company." The debts, secured and
unsecured, amount to about £15,000, the principal
creditors being the West of England Life and Fire
Office, £1,500 ; W. C. Falkner, Oxon (secured),
£4,500; European Bank (unsecured), £3OO, and
(secured) £1,100; E. Clowes, Manchester (unse-
cured), £320, and (secured) £1,370 ; the Conde
de Bolhao, £1,391; and Caldas Brothers, £1,330.
Mr. Miller appeared for various creditors who
proved debts, and a day was named for the next
hearing.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A REMORSEFUL TRlEF.—Thomas Stephen Chapman,
described as of "no home, a sweep," was charged before
Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a chimney-sweeping machine
and some tools, of the value of £3, the property of John
Jones, a master sweep, at 8, Peter-street, St. James's.
The prosecutor's wife said the prisoner was employed
by her husband to assist in the Christmas work, and he
went out with a machine, and other articles, and never

returned.
Kent, 191 C, said that on the previous afternoon the
prisoner gave himself up to him for stealing the property
of Mr. Jones, at the same timo stating that he had sold the
machine to a sweep at Dartford.
The prisoner said he had nothing to say, only that he
hoped the magistrate would give him a good journey, as
he had no friend in the world but God. Ho had been a
sweep ever since 1824, having come out of Whitechapel
workhouse to be one. He committed the robbery so that
