ROBBERY AND SELF-131PEACHMENT.--A young man
named Alexander Harrington was brought before
Mr. Paget charged with stealing a coat and a pair
of boots.

This morning the prisoner stopped Edward King,
a police-constable of the II division, and said I wish
to give myself up—l committed a robbery ; I stole
a pair of boots and a coat yesterday and pawned
them. He then gave the policeman two duplicates.
He was then taken into custody, and the owner of
the property was discovered.
Two pawnbrokers' assistants produced the coat
and boots which the prisoner had stolen. The coat
was pawned by himself, the boots by a man named
Warren.
Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week, and
directed inquiries to be made about Warren.

MARKETS.—(T his Day.)

CORN.

The trade continues quiet under the influence of the fine
weather, but without any appreciable depression in conse-
quence of light supplies.
The country markets are dull, buyers occasionally hav-
ing a slight advantage in terms.
At Mark-lane to-day the attendance was light, and the
trade quiet.
English wheat in small supply, and sold at Monday's
rates.
Foreign wheat purchased sparingly. For speculating
easier rates would be taken, but for the retail lots purchased
late terms have to be paid.
On the coast there are some twenty cargoes of wheat
offering, and the demand is dull. A large cargo of Odessa
wheat-7,000 quarters—sold at 355, late yesterday.
Flour is unaltered. _ _ _

Barley, beans, and peas in limited demand.
Oats in steady request, and the turn against buyers.
COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE.
Sugar—The market is steady, with a fair demand for
grocery and refined kinds.,
Coffee—For good qualities rates are well maintained.
Tea is firm, with a moderato inquiry for common and
Indian congous.
Rice is dull, and the several parcels brought to auction
this morning were bought in for want of demand.

Saltpetre is firm.
Oils.—Linseed oil is firm, at 33s 6d to 33s 9d; rape,
34s 6d ; fine palm, 40s to 40s 6d.

to 44s 6d last three months.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
The supplies have been moderate, and this morning the
trade opened wi h a fair demand, but the hot weather
had an adverse effect, and it finished up dull. Our top
quotations were realised currently at the opening, but
were hardly supported at the close. Beef, 3s 4d to 4s 4d ;
mutton, 3s 8d to 4s 4d ;
veal, 3s 8d to 4s 4d ; pork,
3s 8d to 4s 8d ; lamb, 5s 4d to 6s per atone of 81bs by the
carcase.
The poultry trade is quiet and indeed dull. The few
good qualities of the various descriptions of poultry at
market bring full prices, but for other sorts the demand is
very dull.
Eggs firm at late rates. English, Bs. ; French, Gs. 6d. to
is. per 120.

PROVISIONS.
BUTTER.—The demand is steady, but prices are de-
clining, in consequence of the increasing production, with
the fine weather, and advance of tho season. Fine Fries-
land this morning is quoted 903 to 948 per cwt.
In other provisions a moderato business is passing with-
out material change in prices.
BOROUGH HOP.
This market is healthy with a very limited supply. The
few fine lots, either English or foreign, that aro brought
forward are taken at full prices. In other descriptions,
although sales progress slowly, late quatations aro fully
maintained. The weather is all in favour of an increase of
fly, of which there is a general sprinkling. This day's

Kents, 90s to 120 s ; Sussex, 90s to 105 s ; Farnhams,
