ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.
DOME CIRCUI T.—Kingston, April 9.
(Before Lord Chief Justice WILDE and a Special
Jury.)
WHEELER V. THE BISHOP 07 WINCHESTER.

This case has been brought to a conclusion, after
having occupied the Court nearly four days.
The action was brought to try the right to certain
waste lands, and whether they belonged to the plain-
tiff, claiming as lord of the manor of Churt, or to the
defendant, who is lord of the manor of Farnham. A
great many witnesses were examined on both sides,
but it appeared to be very clearly made out on the
part of the Right Rev. defendant that no such manor
as Churt had ever existed, and that it was only one
of the tythings of the manor of Farnham.
The jury stopped his Lordship while he was in the
course of summing up the case, and said they had
made up their minds, and they at once returned a
verdict for the defendant.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, April 8.
CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PLATT.)
Sarah Peters, a respectable looking married woman►
with an infant at her breast, was indicted for wilful
and corrupt perjury.
Mr. Skinner was counsel for the prosecution and
Mr. W. H. Cooke for the prisoner.
It appeared that on the 25th of October, at a
Tolsey Court holden at Bristol, an action of debt for
goods sold and delivered was tried, in which the hus-
band of the prisoner was the plaintiff and a person
named Milward the defendant. On that occasion the
prisoner, who had been married to the plaintiff
since the cause of action arose, gave avidence as
a witness for the plaintiff, in the course of which
she swore, upon cross-examination, that she was not
related to the prosecutor; that she was a widow ;
that she was a perfectly disinterested witness; and
th4t she was not married to the plaintiff. The ver-
dict was upon her evidence given in favour of the
plaintiff, and it turning out that all her statements as
to her interest in the case were false the present pro-
secution was instituted against her. Notwithstand-
ing a very ingenious defence, in the course of which
the prisoner's counsel illustrated practically how
even experienced witnesses might state that which
was untrue, when confused by cross-examinations,
the prisoner was convicted, and sentenced to a fine of
On shilling, and to tvbelve months' imprisonment and
hard lAbour.

Mr. Baron PLATT then disposed of a City case,
which terminated the business of the circuit, and in
the course of the evening left for London.

fGLASGOW, APAIL 6. COTMN.—The nrrival of
the
I Canada this week bringing confirmation of the accounts
of a short crop has infused some spirit into the market, and a
1 considerable amount of business has boon done, both by the
trade and on speculation,
at an advance of from id. to Id.
per lb. The price off' the raw material now bears such a
large proportion to the finished article that manufacturers
are working principally to order, and look forward ere long
to an abridgment in production. A moderate business has
been done this week in goods and yarns, and stocks continue
light. Pig Iron.—There has been scarcely any business
doing in our market for pig iron during the week, and prices
have continued almost without change. The price of mixed
numbers may to-day be quoted 435. Gd. ; buyers at 435.,
with nothing doing. Bars may be quoted from 5/. Ws, to
5/, 12s. Gd.

CORN EXCIIANGE-WEDNESDAY.
The supply of English Wheat on offer in to-day's
market was larger than for some time past, and chiefly
composed of Monday's unsold parcels. Owing to the
dull accounts from the outports, and the large quantities
of foreign Flour pressing for eale, the demand for all
kinds of Wheat of home produce was exceedingly
heavy, at almost nominal currencies. Large parcels
might have been purchased on lower terms. Nearly
12,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have arrived since
Saturday. That article was dull in the extreme, and
the mildling and irferior kinds were is per quarter
lower to purchase. Barley was in moderate request, at
previous latLs; hut Malt commanded scarcely any atten-
tion. Very few Eng Hill Oats were in the market; but
the supply of foreign was immense, the arrivals this
Week having excee:led 30,000 quarters. All kinds ruled
dull, at barely stationary prices. Beans, Peas, aid In-
dian Corn were very dull. Low qualifies of Flour
were again a caper.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, April 9.
(Before Mr. Commissioner TloLuoyD.)
JOSEPLI JARDINE'S BANKRUPTCY.-DARTFORD SA-

The bankrupt had for many years carried on busi-
ness n 5 a draper at Dartford; he was also actuary of
the Dartford Savia,,,s' Bank, and had in that capacity
received and appropriated to his own use moneys of
the depositors, amounting, as was alleged, to upwards
of 2,0001.

This was a sitting for the last examination, but no
balance sheet having been filed an adjournment was
ordered until the 10th of May.
Mr. LAWRANCE, on behalf of tho trustees of the
savings bank, called the attention of the Court to his
former application, founded on the 28th section of the
3d William IV., whereby the assignees of any person
becoming bankrupt, who had been intrusted with the
moneys of a savings' bank, were bound to pay to the
trustees their claim in full before paying any of the
debts. Mr. Lawrance stated that the forty days'
notice required by the Act had been served upon the
assignees, but had not yet expired ; and as the depo-
sitors were complaining loudly of the delay and in-
convenience, the trustees were anxious to know
whether the assignees would at the expiration of the
notice be prepared to comply therewith.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, ATKIL 9.
With a more liberal supply of wheat than of late, the sale
was exceedingly heavy, and must be quoted fully t!s par
quarter below last week's prices. Barley was also a heavy
sale, at same prices as before quoted. The trade in general very
dull and languid.

HULL, Aran 9.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—During the
past ten days we have made rather extensive inquiries in dif-
ferent parts of the country, as to the stock of wheat held by
farmers at this season as compared with other years, and the
result is, that they hold fully their usual quantity; and in some
important districts even beyond it.. The growing crops are
everywhere well spoken of. Arrivals, with the prevailir.g
winds, have somewhat increased during the past week, spring
corn, and especially beans and barley predominating ; both
have been offered on low terms, but have gone off, generally
speaking, from ship, the low current rates having to some ex-
tent, attracted speculators. To-day we had a good supply of
wheat from sour own farmers, with a somewhat better show of
foreign ; the demand being slow last week's rates were with
difficulty maintained, and that only for picked samples. In
some instances is less money was taken. In foreign we find
no quotable alteration, but demand continues slow. A good
supply of barley, chiefly thin and light foreign, for which we
have had some sales lately to dealers desirous of being in stock
when the feeding season commences. Beans are rather at-
tracting attention at present rates, but buyers will not exceed
them. Peas are quite neglected ; oats go off at our quota-
tions. Although we have no arrivals of linseed the market is
fiat, and transactions on a small scale; cakes are saleable at
our currency. No rapeseed on the market; for rape cakes
we have a fair sale at the late reduction. Bones support their
value.

FIRES AND Loss OF LlFE.—Yesterday morning
the firemen were called to Ship-yard, Ttmple-bar, when
they found that the wearing, apparel of Mrs. ltachael Turner,
the occupier of No. 25, had become ignited, and that the
poor creature was burned in a most frightful manner. She
was forthwith removed to the hospital, where death soon put
an end to her sufferings.—Last evening, between six and
seven o'clock, the neighbourhood of Park-street, Bankeide,
Southwark, was thrown into alarm iu consequence of a firs
breaking out in the premises belonging to lir. Carpenter,
situate in Moss-alley. The firemen and inhabitants after
much trouble succeeded in getting the flames subdued, when
a most pitiable scene presented itself, for Mrs. Carpenter,
the wife of the owner of the property, was found so dreadfully
burned that the flesh when touched peeled off her body. A
medical gentleman was instantly sent for, who pronounced
life totally extinct.
FIRES IN CRURCIIES.—The destruction of St.
Anne's Church, at Limehouse, by fire, on Good Friday, sug-
gests a point or two for consideration, and ought to serve as
a warning and preventive. Examination, it appears, has
shown that the end of one of the girders supporting the
roof actually entered a flue, at the north-western corner of
the church, and it is unnecessary for us to say, if this be so,
the beam, too, being thoroughly dried by the continued
action of the fire, perhaps even decayed, that the cause of the
destruction of the church is tolerably obvious. The fires
which have been originated by timber being let into flues, ap-
parently too far from the fireplace to be dangerous are not
to be counted. In a sixteenth century building, wherein
works are going on under our direction, we found last week
a piece of timber in the face of the chimney-breast, put in to
relieve the lintel over the opening of the fireplace, and form-
ing, in part, one side of the flue. lt was black and charred,
and although it had led to no evil conequences during many
years, might next week have caused the destruction of the
building. In the case of Limehouse Church, if the statement
be correct, no blame attaches le the architect: the flue was
for ventilation, not for a furnace ; and the error was committed
by those who made the fire communicate with it, without
first taking proper precautions. The principal object we have
in view in noting this occurrence, is to induce a proper ex-
amination, by professional eyes, of the city churches
generally,with respect especially to the means used for warm•
ing them. Several of these churches are exposed to great
danger by the position of iron smokepipes, introduced to the
great disfigurement of the building, and passing close to
woodwork. We would exhort the authorities to be wise in
time—to remove the pcssibility of danger, so far as it can be
foreseen, and insure the building. —Bui der.

METROPOLITAN FREE HOSPITAL.—This excellent
institution held its anniversary meeting, last evening at the
London Tavern. In the absence of Lord Dudley Couto
Stuart, the duties of the chair were efficiently discharged by
John Gurney Hoare, In proposing the toast of " The
Patrons of the Charity," the Chairman adverted to the bene-
fits that had baen conferred upon the institution by their
Royal Highnesses Prince Albert and the Duke of Cambridge.
Mr. Nash read the report, front which it appeared that the
hospital, during its fourteen years' existence, had relieved no
less than 120,000 persons, or about 10,000 annually...e.
(Cheers.) It was one of the peculiar features of the hos-
pital, that it gave relief to every sick person that applied for
it.—(Cheers.) It had been considered desirable to open neW
premises in Devonshire. square ' and if the society with an
income of only 6001. a year had been able to do so much
gond, what might not be done when the institution was ra-
pidly advancing in public favour? Every shilling that was
subscribed to it contributed to the relief of some poor and
suffering fellow- creature. The claims of the hospital were
afterwards warmly advocated by the Chairman, Mr. Richard
Wingfield, Mr. Rogers, and Mr. John Gurney Fry. The re-
sult of the festival was announced to be nearly 1,0001., a stint
which considerably exceeded the expectations of its promo-
ters. It included the following sums : —The St. Clement
Danes, Holborn Charity, 1001. ; Mr. Samuel Gurney, 501.';
Baron Rothschild, 21/. ; Mr. Thomas Baring, 20/. ; Mr. Ed-
ward Gurney, 21/. ; Lord Dudley Stuart, 211.; Mr. W.
Evans, M.P., 101. 10s. The musical arrangements of the
evening were under the direction of Mr. Ransf rd, assisted
by Miss Ransford, Miss Ellen Lyon, Mr. Holmes, and Mr.
W. E. R,ansford. Messrs. Bathe and Breach catered with
their customary taste to the gratification of the guests, and
Mr. Hicks was an efficient toast-master.

Her Majesty the. Queen of the Belgians entered
on her 39th year on Wednesday last. Her Majesty was born
at Palermo on the 3d of April, 1812.

La Patrie of Bruges announces that it is probable
that Louis Philippe and his family will visit Bruges in the
month of May next.

INCENDIARY FIRES IN FRANCE.--The'departmEntal
journals still continue to give accounts of the progress of in-,
cendiarism. A part of the communal forest of Borderes, near
Tarbes, has just been destroyed. On Tuesday last four fires
took place in the neighbourhood of Soissons. The most con.
siderable was that on the farm Of a M. Fortville, at Pasly.
The stable, barns, and other outhouses, with all they con-
tained, were destroyed, the dwelling•house alone escaped.
So determined were the incendiaries to effect their purpoie
that a rivulet which ran before the house, and the water of
which would have served to extinguish the fire, was, on the
previous evening, turned from its course by the miscreants.
Dommiers, Ambleuy, and Juvigny have also suffered. At
Seurrc (Cote d'Or), on Sunday last, a fire broke out, and be-
fore it could be got under, two houses were destroyed. Soon
afterwards, when all the people who had been present had
returned to their homes, a second fire was discovered, which,
in a short spaco of time completely destroyed 17 cottages.
During the night several other fires were seen in different
parts of the country.—Galignani's Messenger.
