MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNES.I3AY
The supply of English Wheat was but moderate, yet the
demand fin it was in a depressed state, at barely Monday's
quotations. So little was doing in Foreign Wheat that
prices were almost nominal. Malting Barley was quite as
dear; but grinding and distilling sorts-were a mere drug.
Malt, and all other grain were unaltered.

HUNTINGDON ELECTION.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) of
From the enclosed you will perceive the hopeless Etate
pl
the Liberal cause here, in consequence of Mr. Martin's refus
to stand as the free-trade candidate. If he would have 0315
sented, it is believed, notwithstanding the venal, corrupt, lut'id
dependent state of the major part of the constituency, he 11`°1,1
have been pretty well supported, as he is highly esteemed
all parties here.
Mr. Thomas Baring. the " rejected of London," the COs
servative candidate, is likely to be unopposed now.

Hunting-don, April 16.
[Our Correspondent encloses, in the letter, a requisitiolil
to Mr. Martin, signet; by forty-five electors, calling tit),.
him to suffer himself to be put in nomination as a candida:i
which he respectfully declines, on the ground that his eonse,
to the requisition would involve such sacrifices of per3ollf:
comfort, as, at his advanced age, cannot be reasonably
pected.]

MILITARY AFFRAY AT WINCIIESTER.—A sere oUg
affray, which caused great alarm amongst the inhabitse
took place at Winchester on Sunday evening last, 13Qu ‘of
eight o'clock, between the privates of the Ist nth
Grenadier Guards (recently from Windsor) and the
-
Regiment of Foot. A quarrel having occurred at a ttuti,
To 0
house between two men belonging to each regiment, the
affair was taken up by their respective comrades, to o
number of between 300 and 400 on either side, and, fr°;
the severe blows which were exchanged, fatal consequeeci-t,
were expected to ensue. Piquets from each regill'cur
amounting to 300 men, with fixed bayonets, under the co ed
wand of captains and subalterns, were immediately ordetrhe
out; but it was upwards of two hours before the whole of .0
men could be captured and secured within their resPfc„ti,ii
barracks. 'We understand that several who were sen.„°",.-
injured are now confined to the hospital. The 44th De,.llr
ment is 900 strong, and the Ist battalion of the Greuacoetg
Guards about 700. It is expected that one of the regiMell
will be ordered into another district.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE °d
INMATES.—This morning, between the hours of tvi° and
three, a destructive fire broke out in the premises occurtt,
by the undermentioned persons :—Mr. Barnes, Mrs. Dud,
and Mr. Stoddart, situate at No. 5, Upper Rosamond-streio
Clerkenwell. Police-constable G 149, in passing along
beat, perceived smoke issuing out of the kitchen on the btel
ment floor. The officer immediately sprang his rattle, Clio
raised the necessary alarm ; but such a strong hold hauiits.,
flames obtained, that they travelled with surprising reProo
quickly enveloping the whole of the lower floor 0' toe
building. At that time there were from twelve to foot' 0.
persons asleep in the premises. After some trouble, the etl,sr
stable succeeded in arousing the whole of the inmates, bati .0
the time he had accomplished that object the "" to

the different apartments. At first the destruction of ,er,
whole of the imnntes appeared inevitable ; but %,,ti

windows, and illuminated the whole neighbourhood. .„iii-

portion of the engines were set to work, and a great sti Cho
of the antagonist element was thrown upon and int°tioe•
