MARKET NEWS.--(This Dly.)

CORN EXCHANGE. •

About an average supply of English wheat has come to
hand this week, coastwise, viz., 3,950 quarter. Fresh up,
to-day, however, the receipts of that grain by land carriage
were limited, and the show of samples was, consequently,
small. The attendance of millers was far from numerous,
and we had only a moderate inquiry for all kinds of wheat
of home produce. Prices, however, were well supported.
Only 2,410 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand
this week ; but the supply hero, to-day, was extensive.
Sales of all kinds progressed slowly, yet prices generally
were supported.
Floating cargoes of foreign .grain were held at fall quo-
tations.
Fine malting barley was scarce, and quite as dear as last
week. Inferior parcels met a slow inquiry.
No change took place in the value of malt, for which,
the demand ruled heavy.
Oats, beans, and peas moved off steadily, at very full
prices. In the value of flour, no change took place.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
The supply of beasts in to-day's'market was only mode-
rate. Most breeds moved off slowly, at Monday's decline
in the quotations. We were fairly supplied with sheep, in
which a steady business was doing, at full prices. There
was a moderate inquiry for lambs, the supply of which
was not extensive, at fully previous rates. As the supply
of calves was large the veal trade ruled heavy, at a decline
in value of 2d per Sibs. Pigs were dull; but mulch cows
were in improved request.

MxncRANT TAILORS' ScßooL.—Yesterday, being the
feast of St. Barnabas, the annual election of fellows to
St. John's College, Oxford, and to the other prefer-
ments connected with this foundation; took place ac-
cording to its time-honoured statutes. Four fellowships
had fallen vacant during the past year, and after a viva
rote examination, which had been preceded by five days'
paper work, Messrs. Williams, Johnstone, Neale, and
Vernon, the first four monitors, were elected proba-
tionary fellows of St. John's ; Mr. J. H. Smith, the
fifth monitor, was offered an c xhibition on Dr. Andrew's
foundation, but declined it, having gained an open scho-
larship at Merton : and Mr. H. J. Sharpe, as the beat
mathematidian now leaving the school, was preferred
to an exhibition at Cambridge. After this ceremony,
which took place in the' old chapel of the school,
was concluded; the Master of the company (slr.
Bonus), the President of St. John's College, Oxlord, the
Examiners, and other electors repaired to the school-
room, where the usual speeches were delivered. The
dramatic, in Latin, English, and French, elicted much
approbation. The head master. the Rev. Dr. Hessey,
then distributed the prizes : Hebrew medal, T. K.
Cheyne ; Latin verse and Greek prizes, G. S. Williams;
History and Latin prose prizes, W. E. Neale ' • chief
mathematical prize, P. T. Main ; chief French prize,
J. Johnstone. A multitude of minor honours for
Hebrew, classics, mathematics, French, arithmetic,
writing, and writing from dictation, which we have no
room to enumerate, were then distributed. The school
was then dismissed with the customary week's holiday
In the evening the master and wardens of the company
gave a sumptuous entertainment to a numerous and
distinguished party in the hall of the corporation.
THE GLASGOW POISONING CASE.--By the 18th of this
month Miss Smith must be served with her indictment,
as having "run her letters," as the phrase goes, the 40
days allowed to the Crown will by that time have ex-
pired. After this indictment is served, however, the
Crown may see reason subsequently to withdraw it, and
within, we believe, another 20 days, may serve a second
indictment, on which the Crown officials must go to
trial, if there is to be a trial at all. Thero is no denying
that in tbis case the public prosecutor has experienced
much difficulty in obtaining sufficient evidence with
which to go into court with any chancre of obtaining a
conviction. The servant girl, who admitted the odor-
tunate M. L'Angellier into the house at Blythwood-
equare, on the night of Sunday, 22d March, ie out of
the way, and supposing she was really paced in the wit-
ness-box, there is an hour unaccounted for betwixt the
time when L'Angellier left Miss Smith's company and his
arrival at his lodgings, Franklin-plaoe, Great Western-
road. That Miss Smith's state of health has something to
do with the protracted delay in bringing the case to trial
is very freely stated ,and credited in quarters which we
should suppose likely to be well informed. On a former
occasion we stated that M. L'Angellier had a diary, in
which were chronicled the varied incidents in his some-
what eventful life, and. we believe that when the day of
trial comes such an entry as the following will be oftener
than once disclosed :—" Became ill shortly after seeing
my dear Madeline." That the poison purchased in dif-
ferent places by Miss Smith was coloured with some
other ingredient, and that the poison detected in the
body of L'Angellier was similarly coloured, will, we be-
lieve, also be testified in the witness.,bux: Miss Smith
is still in Glasgow, and, in the solemn circumstances, is
wonderfully composed.-7-4UorG daverriar.
