WOOL.

Last week's imports of Wool into London were 3 bags
from Auckland, 512 bales from Sydney, 1,379 ditto from
Port Philip, and 68 ditto from the Cape. We under-
stand that supplies of fine Colonial qualities are much
wanted in'the manufacturing districts, and that further
public sales will take place on the arrival of several
vessels now on passage laden with Wool. The private
contract market is very firm, and prices are well sup-
ported in every instance.

TALLOW.
Our St. Petersburgh letter, dated the 22d ult., states
that the demand for Tallow for forward delivery was in
a very inactive state, yet prices were mostly supported.
Common shipping sorts were quoted at 107 to 109; and
tine Ukrane 113 to 114 roubles, with 10 down. The
estimated supply for 1850 was 140,000 casks, 30,000 of
which were left over from last year. The total imports
into London in 1849, were 97,132 casks, against
113,171 ditto in 1848, and 89,824 in 1847. Those from
Australia and South America increased 50 per cent.
The stock of Australian Tallow is now 4,000, and of
South American 7,500 casks.
Since our lost report the delivery of Tallow has some-
what increased, yet the ch mend for most kinds has ruled
inactive, and, in some instances, prices have had a down.
ward tendency. To-day P. Y. C. on the spot is quoted
at 38s to 38s 6d; and for forward delivery, 388 3d to
38s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow has declined ls, the net
cash price being 38s 6d per cwt. Bought Fat has fallen
to 2s 2d per 8113 s, with a very moderate supply on offer.

BANKRUPTCY.—(THIS DA
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE,
IN RE PIN.

Y).

City,
queen's

This bankrupt, described as of Broad-scree
merchant, and at present a prisoner in the _
Bench prison, came up on a renewed application for
discharge from custody, and for a choice of assignees
under a fiat sued out against him.
It may be remembered that the bankrupt had made
previous applications for discharge, but wsr refused
until ho rendered a full account or the expenditure of
2,3001. received by him for a share in a copper mine in
Cornwall, a considerable part of which he received
whilst ho was in prison. On his last application he
did not give a satisfactory account of the expenditure
of the money, and Mr. Commissioner Goulburn re-
manded the bankrupt until he furnished satisfactory
accounts, and a day was named for the renewed ap-
plication, which, however, he did not avail himself of,
but came up at the meeting.
Mr. ROXBURGH again opposed the bankrupt's dis-
charge.
His HONOUR considered the accounts very unsatisfac-
tory, and would not order the bankrupt's discharge until
be rendered accounts and paid the costs.
The bankrupt was then remanded to prison.
IN RE FERRIS—REFUSAL OF CERTIFICATE.

In this cafe Lis Honour gave judgment. The Tull
particulars of the case have been before the public within
a few days. The judgment of the. Court was that the
certificate should be refused.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.

This morning the January Session of the Central
Criminal Court was opened at the Old Bailey, by the
Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Mr. Alderman Gibbs, Mr.
Alderman Sidney, Mr. Sheriff Lawrence, and Mr.
Sheriff Nicoll.

The Grand Jury having been sworn,
The llEconDEn proceeded to deliver his charge. lie
said the calendar contained the names of ninety-five
prisoners, and the offences with which they stood
charged were, as it regarded many of them, of a serious
character. The crimes of violence against the person
were not nunerous, but they included two charges of the
greatest importance, one being a charge of murder and
the other a case of the violation of a child under ten
years of age. There was also a charge of arson, that was
to say, the setting fire to a house, and persons were
in the house at the time it was set fire to,
which was a statutable offence. The bulk of the cases
comprehended in the calendar were, as usual, crimes of
the felonious acquisition of property, of a nature, and
by the various stratagems to which persons of a dis-
honest character resorted. Out of the list of 95 names
in the calendar, no less than 50 were eases of larceny,
where the object was theft, and that number might be
still, further enlarged by charges of burglary turning
out, en investigation, to be only simple larceny. Cases
of burglary, though they did not necessarily involve
larceny, yet, as they necessarily involved the breaking
into a house with the intent to commit a felony, the in-
ention, ordinarily speaking, was the acquisition of
