CORN EXCHANGE.

The 'supply of wheat on sale in the leading country mar-
kets, held on Saturday, was very moderate. Really fine
samples were disposed of at full prices ; otherwise the trade
ruled dull, at bareley rates. Barley, oats, beans, and peas
were rather easier to buy. The flour trade was steady for
good and fine marks.

On the Continent very little has been doing in produce
:or export ; but in the United States a further advance has
occurred in the value of both wheat and flour.

The arrival of English grain up to our market last week
was , only moderate. From abroad, we received 32,555
quarters of wheat, 2,439 barley, 17,789 oats, 4,245 peas,
2,233 linseed, 5,154 rapeseed, 40 sundry seeds, :275 sacks
and 23,636 barrels of flour.
For' the time of year the show of old home-grown wheats
was rather extensive, and the trade for them ruled very
heavy, at barely last Monday's currency. The supply of
new samples amounted to about 1,100 quarters, for the most
part in 'good condition, and sales progressed steadily, at
from 565. to 665. per quarter. In consequence of the favour-
able weather for harvesting, a considerable amount of pro-
duce will will be " carried " to-day.
We were again well supplied with foreign wheat, and the
trade generally was in a sluggish state, at barely late rates.
There was a moderate but not to say extensive demand for
France.

Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a fair extent,
at full prices. . _

Old grinding and distilling barley sold heavily, on rather
easier terms. A few new samples of malting barley came to
hand in even finer condition than last week, the finest of
which were worth about 40s. per quarter.
For malt there was a limited demand, at late rates.
Good and fine oats freely supported previous currencies,
but inferior parcels were rather cheaper. A few new
samples were on offer.
Very few beans were on sale. In prices no change took
place.
New white peas commanded 40s, and new grey parcels
38s to 40s per quarter.
X Good and fine marks of flour sold steadily, at full quota-
tions ; otherwise the trade ruled slow, on former terms.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BOW-STREET.

ATTEMPTING TO PASS COUNTERFEIT COIN..—TWO
men, named Evans and Lennard, were charged with utter-
ing counterfeit coin.
The prosecutor, a publican, in Hart-street, said—Evans
came into my house this morning and asked for beer, and
threw down a counterfeit half-crown in payment of a pint.
The barmaid saw the coin was bad, and cut it to pieces and
returned it to the prisoners. I then recognised one of the
men as having pa`ssed a gilded sixpence at my shop.
watched them through Holborn, and then on getting near
home I told the police, and they were taken into cus-
tody. •
The Magistrate—The mistake made was giving the
counterfeit coin back to the utterer. The coin must be pro.
duced in evidence before the jury.

The Constable said they were both well known to Ser-
geant Holmes as utterers of base coin.
The Magistrate—Have they been in custody before P
The Constable—l don't know them, but Sergeant
Holmes knows them well.

This officer was sent for, but being absent from the sta-
tion-house,

The Magistrate said it would be useless to send the pri-
soners for trial, as there wotad net be the slightest chance
of a conviction.' •

The prisoners were discharged with a caution.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
AN AWKWARD MlSTAKE.—Catherine Moore, cook to
Mrs. Gwinner, of George-street, Hanover-square, was
charged with stealing a purse containing money, the pro-
perty of her mistress.

Mrs. Gwinner said that on Saturday afternoon she went
down into her kitchen to give her housemaid a letter to
post, and left her purse on the kitchen table. She charged
the prisoner with taking it as she could not find it, but sub-
sequently she found it in a hole in the carpet.
Mr. Mansfield—How long has the prisoner been with
you?

Prosecutrix—kbout six weeks. I had a character with
her.

Mr. Mansfield—lt's unfortunate you should have given
the accused into custody.
Prosecutrix—l am now sorry.
The accused crying, said—My character is gone now.

. -
Mr. MansfieldLYOUr character is not a bit worse than
it was before. The lady says she gave you into custody by
mistake. You are discharged.
The accused left the court crying.
