THIS DAYS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were firm
for wheat, and prices had an upward tendency. Fine bar-
ley was scarce, and in fair request, at full prices ; but other
kinds were very dull. Beans, peas, and flour sold heavily,
on former terms.

• THE INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.
e

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw
steamer Ceylon, Captain R. W._Evans, with the

Throughout the continent, very little has been passing
in wheat for export, and the demand for all kinds of spring
corn has become less active. In the United States, the
markets are tolerably firm.

Leavy- portion of the mails from India and China,

The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week,
were only moderate. From abroad, we received 6,600
quarters of wheat, 26,800 barley, 27,655 oats, 9,565 beans,
317 tares, 7,110 linseed, 13,113 rapeseed, 130 mustard seed,
4,190 sundry, 275 sacks and 1,319 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day the arrivals of wheat from Kent, coast-
wise, and by land carriage, were limited. From Essex, &c.,
the receipts were on a very moderate scale, hence the show
of samples was small. The attendance of millers being on
the increase, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home
produce ruled steady, at an advance in the quotations rea-
lised on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. Good and fine samples were in improved request at
very full prices. All other kinds sold slowly, yet late rates
were well supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were held at extensive rates.
A large quantity of inferior foreign barley was on show,
and it met a dull inquiry, on rather easier terms. Fine
malting samples were quite as dear as last week.
We had a very dull sale for malt, at the late fall in value.
Oats, though in full average supply, changed hands
steadily, and in some instances, fine samples were 6d per
quarter dearer. _ _ _ _ _ •

in charge of Lieutenant Striven, Admi•
ralty agent, arrived at Southampton on Satur•
day, at 6 p.m. She left Alexandria on the 19t1
ult., Malta the 23d, and Gibraltar the. 27th. Be.

tween Alexandria and Malta the Ceylon experi-
enced very heavy north-westerly gales ; from Malta
to Gibraltar westerly winds, and north-easterly
winds along the coasts of Spain and Portugal and
across the Bay.
This steamer brought 60 passengers (36 first-
class, 17 second, and 7 children.) On freight she
had precious stones value 13,700 rupees, 1,542 bales
of silk, I,case of rough diamonds, 6 boxes of silk
piece goods, 2 boxes of specimens, 1 case of silver
ornaments, 1 case of shawls, 19 cases of machinery,
39 packages of elephants' tusks, 106 boxes of
oranges, and 173 packages of general merchandise.
At Alexandria on the 19th ult., were the French
war-steamer Chaptal, the usual Egyptian fleet, the
American sloop of-war, Macedonian, the Austrian
steamer Austria, and the English steamers Arcadia
and Lebanon.

Beans and peas moved off slowly, and last week's prices
barely supported.
The flour trade was firm, at full quotations.

Her Majesty's ships Marlborough, Conqueror,
Centurion, Euryalus, Caradoc, Recruit, Coquette,
and Tartarus were at Malta on the 23d.

schooner Admiral von Heemskirk on the 27th, 40
miles east of Gibraltar; and the steamer Thelistria,

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (This Day.)

OLD COURT.

The January sessions of the Central Criminal Court
commenced this morning, before the Lord Mayor the Right
Hon. D. W. Wire, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, &c.

The calender, owing to the shortness of the time since the
court last met, only contained the names of 54 prisoners for
trial.

The Recorder, in addressing the grand jury, said he had
to congratulate them on the lightness of the calendar, which
contained the smallest number of names of persons for trial
he ever remembered. There ware two cases of manslaughter,
but they were of such a nature that no difficulty would be
occasioned by them. In one case the deceased fell, after
having been struck, and received such other injuries that
death resulted, so the question the jury would have to con-
sider was the intent of the prisoner when the blow was
sti uck. The other case was that of a person who partici-
pated in the prize fight at Abbey Wood. One of the
offenders was tried last session; but he had to inform them
that a person who took part in such a transaction was as
amenable to the law as the principals. Those were the only
cases he need refer to, but if any unforeseen difficulty should
arise, the Court would render every assistance in its
power.

The grand jury then retired, and some true bills having
been returned, the trial of prisoners was proceeded with.
FORGERY ON TILE UNION BANK
Wm. Glendinning was indicted with forging and uttering
a cheque upon the Union Bank for the payment of £253,
with intent to defraud.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty.

Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ribton
defended the prisoner.

Mr. Hawke said—l am a clerk in the Union Bank, at the
Argyll-street branch. On the Ist of December the pri-
soner—at least I believe him to be the person--came to my
desk and asked for Mr. George Whitehead's pass-book and
cheques. It is not the practice of the bank to return the
cancelled cheques with the pass-book, unless specially re-
quired. We, however, used to return Mr. Whitehead's
cheques. On the book being given to the prisoner, he
opened it, and, having looked over the cheques it contained,
said it was all right, and left the place.
Mr. H. Glenny—l am a cashier at the Union Bank. On
the 3d of December a cheque (produced) was handed to me
for payment. It purported to be drawn by Mr. Whitehead
in favour of Colonel Tynte for £259. Having come doubts
about the signature, I consulted with Mr. Inkpen, manager
of the bank, and ultimately the prisoner was given into
custody.

Mr. G. %Vhitehead—l am a conveyancer. I keep an
account at the Union Bank. The cheque produced was not
written by me. I never gave any person authority to draw
a cheque for such an amount. The signature is a very good
imitation of my handwriting. I had money transactions
with Col. Tynte during the past year. I don't know the
prisoner. I never sent him to the bank for my pass-book.
I have unfortunately not yet obtained either it or the can-
celled cheque.

Mr. Inkpen—l am manager of the Argyle-street branch
of the Union Bank. On the 3d of December I saw the pri-
soner. I asked from whom he got the cheque I then held
in my hand. Ire said a person in Poland-street had pro-
mised to give him half-a-crown for getting it cashed. I
asked hi►n the man's name, and I think he said it was
" Whitehead." This person, he further stated, had em-
ployed him on a former occasion to get a pass-book from the
bank, which he had done. I asked him if he knew the per
son who had given -him the cheque, and he replied he did
not. In answer to other questions the prisoner said he was
a brassfitter, but out of employment. I told him I thought
it highly improbable that any person would employ a man
in the street to obtain so large a sum, without knowing
something about him. A constable was sent for, and he
was given into custody.

Police-constable 14 C said—When I took the prisoner
into custody I told him he was charged with forging a
cheque for £259. He said he was very sorry for it. He
gave his right name and address at the station.
Mr. Itibton, for the defence, contended that the prisoner
had been made the dupe of other persons. His whole bear-
ing throughout the transaction showed as clearly as it was
possible to do that he had, in the most innocent manner,
fallen into a trap.

A number of witnesses were called, who gave the prisoner
an excellent character for honesty. _

The Recorder, in summing up the case, said there was
no evidence that the prisoner had been guilty of forging
the cheque, and therefore the jury would not have to
trouble themselves with that part of the case ; but the ques-
tion they would have to decide was whether the prisoner
uttered the forged instrument with intent to defraud. The
fact that most told against the prisoner was, that when the
pass-book was given into his hand he opened it and
minutely examined its contents, and, after having done so,
said it was all right. A mere messenger would not be
likely to act in such a manner.
The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of
guilty of uttering the cheque knowing it was a forgery.

The Recorder sentenced the prisoner to twelve months'
imprisonment with hard labour.

THE BRIGHTON DIVIDEND.—It is estimated that
the half-year's dividend will be £3 10s. per cent., making,
with the previous half-year's dividend, 6 per cent. for the
year 1858, the same as for the previous year, 1857. Thus
the high dividend of this company keeps up, and the com-
pany substantially improves every year.—Herapath.
THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH BETWEEN MALTA
AND SAILDINIA.—A letter from Malta, under date of Christ-
mas-day, reports that telegraphic communication continued
totally suspended between the two islands since the 20th,
and that the superintending engineer at Malta had left for
Cagliari, in the Caradoc steamer, on the night of the 23d,
to underrun the cable on that side, where it is supposed the
damage has been sustained.
THE PULPIT AND THE PRESS.—On Sunday last
an Independent minister, while officiating in a Glasgow
West-end chapel, publicly prayed for the newspaper press
of the kingdom, And more especially of tkat city, that it
might be guided to take a correct view of all matters affect-
ing the public interest.
-NORFOLK TURKEYS.—It will perhaps excite some
astonishment when it is stated that last week 10,746 turkeys
were despatched as Christmas presents to the metropolis,
the greater part coming from Norfolk, and being placed on
the railway at Norwich. It is generally considered that a
turkey, with sausages, hamper, carriage, &c., costs £l, and
these presents, therefore represent an aggregate expenditure
of £lO,OOO. After this one may employ Afr. Punch's obser-
vation last week, " Not bad, for the eastern counties."
On Saturday evening Mr. James P..Peake, who
has held the office of assistant master shipwright at Wool-
wich since June 1843, received his appointment from the
Admiralty as master shipwright at Devonport Dockyard,
vice Mr. William, Edyp, who retires on a pension.
