CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
well supplied with wheat, in which only a limited business
was transacted, at 2s to 43 per quarter decline. Barley
sold slowly, at barely late rates ; but oats, beans, and peas
were firm. Flour was dull, and cheaper.
The continental markets have been dull for wheat, but
other grain has continued in request. In the United
States, prices of grain and flour aro giving way.
Full average supplies of English wheat were received up
to our market last week. The imports of foreign produce
were 12,140 quarters of wheat, 1,505 barley, 30,216 oats,
8 peas, 1,010 linseed, 25 mustard seed, 10 sacks and 1,653
barrels of flour.

During the past week, over 10.000 bales of low wool
have been sold at public sales, at high quotations. Thus,
the actual quantity disposed of during the series con-
chided is 92,000 bales-20,030 having been taken by foreign
homes. The private contract market isvery firm, and the
quotations are well supported in every instance. The im-•
ports have amounted to 440 bales from Alva Bay, 1,436.

The quantity of English wheat recerved fresh up to-day
from Essex, Kent, &c., was not to say extensive; yet, as
rather a large supply was on sale from Friday, the show
of samples both red and white was rather extensive
sor the time of year. The general condition of the samples
was good, and many of them weighed 641bs per bushel.
Although the attendance of millers was tolerably good,
the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat ruled
heavy, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday
last of 3s to 5s per quarter.
There was a large show of foreign wheat. Even the
finest qualities were neglected, and prices were next to
nominal. To have forced sales lower rates must have been
submitted to by the holders.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day).

MARYLEBONE.

THE MURDER IN THE HAMPeTEAD ROAD. Cor-
nelius Denny was placed at the bar; in accordance
with the remand, charged with the murder of Gallo
Benzonelli.
It will be recollected that on the night of Saturday,
the 22d inst., the prisoner, Cornelius Denny, went int)
the shop of Joseph Baretta, confec Toner, 17, Adam's-
row, Hampstead-road, in company with some other per-
sons, and requested to be served with some ginger beer.
This request was complied with, after which Donny lay
down on a form and went to sleep. At about three in
the morning the deceased, who was in the employ of
Mr. Biretta, woke him up, when an altercation ensued,
and in the struggle Denny stabbed the unfortunate man
in the abdomen with a clasp knife. The wounded man
was taken into the University College Hospital, where
be died. on Thursday last.
Francis Julian Hanley, 366 S, said he attended at
the hospital and took the depositions of the injured man,
as follows :
"My name is Gallo Benzonelli. I reside at 17,
Hampstead-road. The prisoner before me is the man
that stabbed me. He cause into the shop at twelve,
midnight, and ordered three bottles of ginger beer, and
then fell asleep. He slept till three in the morning.
I awoke him, and asked him to go out. On my doing
so he struck me in the face. I defended myself, and
struck him in return. He then took out a knife
and stabbed me. Immediately I discovered I was
stabbed I returned int) the shop. I told the boy, who is
called Cmsar, that I was stabbed, and that I should soon
die. Some one called a policeman, who placed me in a
cab, and I was conveyed here."
Witness said after taking the deposition in French, he
translated it to Denny, who said, "All I have to say is,
I am guilty ; but I did not stab him in the shop, I stabbed
him on the pavement." Denny asked deceased if he would
shake hands with him, as he was sorry. Deceased said,
",,Yes, but it is no good. You have brought me here,
I will shake hands with you, and forgive you, if God
will."
Mr. Vincent Jackson, a surgeon, said when deceased
was admitted into the hospital there was an incised
wound in the abdomen, inflicted by some sharp instru-
ment. Six inches of the gut were protruding, which he
replaced without making a further incision. Inflamma-
tion supervened, and he died on Tuesday from perito-
nitis, caused, as was proved by a post mortem examina-
tion, by injuries to the peritoneum, the effect of a

THE CROPS IN THE NO.RT.H OF IBELAIVD.

(From the Northern Whig.)

The weather of the past week has been highly
favourable for harvest operations, and a large por-
tion of the wheat crop has already been cut down.

Our accounts from various parts of the country speak
favourably of the general results of the harvest, if
we except the potato crop, with respect to the safety
of which considerable fears are entertained. With
respect to the. county Antrim, in the neighbourhood
of Crumlin, the sickle has been used so vigorously
during the past week that the whole of the winter-
sown wheat has been cut, and a great portion of it
p?aced in stack. Indeed, Mr. M'Connell, of Sea-
view,
one of the most extensive and intelligent
farmers in Kilhead, had his crop of wheat secured
in the early part of the week. The wheat crop has
everywhere in this locality turned out extremely
well, and farmers who have entered upon threshing
state that it gives evidence of yielding satisfactorily
in the barn. Even spring wheat promises better things
than were anticipated some weeks ago. The prq-
spects of the oat crop have also been greatly im-
proved, and the present delightful weather isbring-
ing it rapidly to maturity. There will be no diffi-
culty in getting the grain cut down ss it ripens, in
consequence of the wheat crop being generally se
cured befere the oats are ready. The farmers in the
neighbourhood of Crumlin complain of the progreits
the blight is making in the early kind of potatoes ;
but the general crop, consisting mostly of " white
rocks" and " M‘Mullans," can scarcely be said to
be affected yet. Meadow bay hag, also, all been
..saved ; and on the who!e, the past week has been
everything which the agriculturists in this neigh-
bourhood could wish—,even the potato-blight, al-
though it has made its appearance, is neither so ex-
tensive nor so vio!ent as in former years. In the
vicinity of Randals-town, the early-sown wheat wi'l
be all cut down during the ensuing week. A large
portion has alrf ady been placed in stack, and pro-
mises an abundant yield : but spring-sown will scar-
cely be an average crop, and is not expected to be
ripe for anotl.er fortnight. The reaping of oats has
partial), commenced in this neighourhood, and
will be general next week ; but the yield will not
be so large as that of last year. The blight
very generally appeared on potato leaves, but as
yet the tube; s are comparatively sound. Our com-
munications fLom various pacts of the county of
Antrim agree, in stating that, should the present
weather continue for three or four weeks, the great
bulk of this crop will be saved from the ravages cf
the disease.

The harvest in many parts of the County of
Down is now fairly set in, and in general, there are
complaints of the lightness of the corn. The whole
way from Banbridge to Lurgan there is a regular
harvest. In the townland of Lennaderg, a corres-
pondent particularly rewarked,one large and very
fine-looking field of corn, in which fifteen reapers
were employed. There are few districts in which
so much wheat is sown is between Basbridge
and Lurgau, and the farmers speak very highly
of the crop. Anaghanoon, a townland near War-
ringstown, seems to have almost half its cultivated
laud in wheat, and the appearance is excellent.
One fact, well worthy the attention of the farmers
in many parts of the country, is mentioned by a
correspondent, who states that in no instance did
he see the scythe used in cutting corn. He asked
several intelligent men the reason of their not using
the scythe ; and some pronounced it as " unagri-
cultural," £Olll3 as " destructive," and one rosy old
farmer said that the man that had the hardihood to
mow his cc.rn " gullantined 11:s best friend." In
all directions in this neighbourhood the potatoes
are infected, particularly the " Scotch whites " and
" we tvers ;" but indeed all bear evident marks of
the disease, yet• it is making but slow progress to
the roots.

le The continuation of drought has effected disas-
trous changes on the late potatoes in the. neigh-
bourhood of Saintfield. Two evils are at present
at work here destroying the prospects of this un-
fortunate root. What was looked upon as
meroy towards the e)rly kinds, with the blight
on the haulm—thl absence of rain, is death to
the growth of those late planted, as they want
moisture to carry them on. All kinds have now the
plague-spot on their leaves, while the roots are
only being found on thoss planted towards the
middle of May; so that the hopes of these latter
are blasted. The grain crops are fast ripening, not,
as in some late years, simultaneously, but afford-
ing some leisure to be cut down gradually, which is
more convenient for the employer, in the present
sca-city of hands. Turnips are said to be suffering
from want of rain in this negh nourhood.
The grain crop around Dromore is fast approach-
ing to maturity, and reaping of wheat and oats has
been pretty general, and both promises an abun-
dant harvest. The potato "blight" has greatly in-
creased here during the past week. The stalks of
e "white rocks" are greatly blackened, but the

tubers are very little affected as yet ; and it is the
opinion of farmeis that, so long as the dry weather
cont'nueq, the tubers will not be much affected.
Our accounts from the counties of ferry and
Tyrone statei that that part of the country has had
a week of intense.heat, which has brought on the
crops more rapidly than reapers can be had to cut
it down. The oat crop is much ligh+er than was an-
ticipated, and the straw will be deficient in quan-
tity, but the grain promises an average yield. The
wheat crop will be better than any they have had
in these counties for some years past. The blight
in the potatoes appears to have been checked by
the fine weather, and the only difficulty now felt is
to get men to secure the harvest.
