THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

IP CORN EXCHANGE

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat ; nevertheless, all kinds
moved off slowly, and previous rates were barely supported.
Barley, oats, andbeans were in steady request, at full prices.
In other produce very little was doing.
Throughout the continent wheat and other articles have
been held at full quotations, but the business doing for
export has not increased. In the United States both wheat
and flour have been held at full prices.
Only limited supplies of home-grown produce arrived up
to our market last week. The imports arammted to 10,498
quarters of wheat, 6,910 barley, 4,230 oats, 790 rye, 1,655
beans, 240 tares, 10,105 linseed, 4,329 rapeseed, 50 mustard-
seed, 3,583 sundry seeds, 1,459 hogsheads and 1,683 barrels
of flour.

The supply of wheat received fresh up, to-day, from
Essex and Kent, was very moderate, and the arrivals from
all other quarters were limited. Notwithstanding that the
show of samples of bo.th red and white was small, the de-
mand for all kinds, owing to a thin attendance of both town
and country millers, ruled very inactive, and, in some
instances, prices were is per quarter lower than on Monday
last.

The show of foreign wheat was seasonably extensive, and
the business done in all kinds was limited. In prices, how •
ever, no change took place.

The demand for floating cargoes was less active, at late
rates.

We had a good consumptive demand for barley, and, in
some instances, medium qualities of malting were is per
quarter dearer.

There was very little doing in malt, at the late decline

in value.

The oat trade was firm, arising from short arrivals, and
prices advanced 6d to is per quarter.
Beans changed hands steadily, at is per quarter more
money.

For peas there was an improved inquiry, at fully late rates.
The flour trade was less active. In prices, however, no
change took place.

LAW'INTELLIGENCE.-,-( THIS DAY.)

COURT OF CHANCERY.
• (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Jiistices.)
APPEAL.-HAVILAND T. MORTIBOY.
This is an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir
John Steuart.

Mr. Maims, Q.C., and another appeared for the appellant ;
Mr. Rolt, Q.C., and another appeared for the respondent,
trustee or executor under a marriage settlement.
The contention depends on the validity of the marriage
of the late John Shepherd, George-street, Euston-square,
London, and Mary Shepherd. The allegation: is that Mary
Shepherd was previously married at St. Pancras Church,
in 1824, to James Masters, pianoforte maker, then alive,
but since dead. All the parties are now dead.
At the sitting of the Court this morning Mr. Haviland,
one of tho plaintiffs in the case, was orally examined on
oath, in court, by Mr. Malins, and cross-examined by Mr.
Rolt. From her evidence, it appeared that she
did not 'know of the previous marriage of Mrs.
Shepherd with, Mr. Masters, and that she was
only informed of it after the death of all the parties by
the respondent, Mr. Montiboy, jeweller, sending her a num-
ber of old love letters, 40 years old, some bills, and a certi-
ficate of Mrs. Shepherd's marriage with Mr. Masters at St.
Pancras Church.

Anne Hawkins, servant to Mrs. Shepherd, then a widow,
deposed that she remembers Mrs. Shepherd telling her
that before she married Mr. Shepherd she had been previ-
ously married to Mr. Masters ; that she loved and lived
better with Masters than Shepherd; that she only married
Shepherd for his property.
Mary Shepherd, servant to the late Mrs. Mary Shepherd,
at present servant to Dr. Phillimore, was under examina-
tion when our reporter left.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romily.)
CASE V. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.
The argument in this part-heard motion for decree was
resumed this morning.

Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., and Mr. Speed appeared for the
plaintiff.

-
The Solicitor-General (Sir Hugh MacAlmot Cairns,
Q.C.) and Mr. Pearson were for the defendants.
The contention, is, whether the plaintiff is entitled to
navigate the Coventry Canal by patent steamboats of a
new construction, of Mr. Renshaw's invention, 70 feet
long from stem to stern, 3 feet 11 inches from gunwale to
keel—rate of speed from 2 to 3, 3 to 4, and 5 miles an hour,
to carry coal from Moreley Colliery to London by the
Coventry, Ashley, and Regent's-canals, free of wave,
surge, or wash, more than an ordinary canal-boat or barge,
and which does no injury whatever to the banks of the
canal. It is probable that the arguments will continue all
day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

(Before Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice Crompton, and Mr.

Justice Hill.) _
lIUGHES V. LADY DINORBEN-LIBEL.

In this case an action was brought by the plaintiff, a
nephew of the late Lord Dinorben, to recover compensation
in damages against Lady Dinorben, for libellous letters
alleged to have been written by her ladyship, and com-
plained of by the plaintiff as calculated to prove prejudicial
to his prospects and interests in life. The case was tried
before Lord Campbell and a special jury, at Guildhall, and
resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, costs being taken, by
consent of the learned counsel on both sides, at 40s. The
libels were contained in two letters, dated in July, 1852,
and alleged by the plaintiff to have been written by
Lady Dinorben, the first being- addressed and sent to the
lath Lord Ravensworth, and the second to the present pos-
sessor of the title. At the time the letters were written
Mr. Hughes was paying his addresses to the daughter of the
present Lord Ravensworth, whom he had since married.
During the last term a rule, calling upon the plaintiff to
show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a
new trial granted, having been obtained by Mr. Macaulay,
on behalf of Lady Dinorben, and the Attorney-General
Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., Mr. Bovill, and Mr. Honeyman,
now showed cause against the rule, and contended that
there was no ground, in their opinion, for disturbing
the verdict.
