MARK LANE.

Only limited supplies of wheat were on offer in the lead-
ing country markets held on Saturday. All kinds were in
request, at 2s to fully 3s per quarter more money. Barley
and all other articles were held on higher terms.

Oa the continent the corn trade has been very quiet of
late. From America the shipments of produce to England
have fallen off considerably.

The imlorts into London last week were 17,910 quar-
ters of wheat, 1,150 barley, 51,856 oats, 500 beaus, 8 pease
1,742 tares, 7,814 linseed, 13,936 rapeseed, 2,787 maize, 5
sundries, 3,325 sacka and 2 817 barrels of flour.
'she supply of English wheat on sale hero to-day was
very limited. The trade was not to say active, yet, com-
p:trod. with Monday last, prices advanced Ss. to 4s. per
quarter.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat, in which
about an average business was doing at 25 to 3d per quar-
ter more money.

Floating cargoes of grain were hold on higher terms.
Fine barley moved off freely at an improvement in value
of is per quarter, whilst grinding and distilling sorts were
quite as dear as last week.
Malt, the supply of which was good, was in fair request
at full quotations.
Although the show of oats was extensive, the oat trade
was firm, at 6d per quarter above previous rates.
Beans commanded full quotations, with a fair demand.
Peas were is. per quarter higher than on this day
se'nnight.
Flour commanded more attention, and the quotations had
an upward tendency.
Seeds generally were a slow inquiry on former terms
Cakes were steady in price.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

Only a limited supply of foreign stock was on sale here,
nevertheless the demand was in a sluggish state, at about

previous quotations.
The atrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were only moderate, but the quality of the sup-
ply was good. For most breeds there was a steady, but
by no means active inquiry, at prices equal to Monday
last. The best Scots and crosses sold at from 5s to 5s 2d
per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received about 900 Scots and crosses; from Leicestershire,
700 shorthorns, dgc.; from other parts of England, 500
various breeds; from Scotland, 298 Scots and crosses; and
from Ireland, 200 cows, heifers, dzc.
There was about an average supply of sheep in the pens
for the time of year, and the general condition of the stock
was prime. For all breeds the demand ruled heavy, at
2d per 81bs less money, compared with this day se'nnight.
The best Downs and half-breds changed hands at from
4s 8d to 4s 10d per Blbs.
The demand for calves was inactive. Prices, however
wero supported. They ranged from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per
81bs. The supply was again limited.
Prime small pigs were in fair request, at full prices ; but
large hogs were very dull, at previous rates.

THE CLEBKENWELL OUTRAGE.

EXAMINATION OF THE FENIAN CON-
SrIRAT ORS.
The examination of Timothy Desmond, William
Desmond, Jeremiah Allen, N icholas English, and
Ann Justice was resumed to-day before Sir Thomas
Henry.
Mr. Giffard, Q.C. appeared, on the part of the
Crown, for the prosecution ; Mr. Harper appeared
for the Desmonds, and Mr. Lewis for Justice.
The precautions on the part of the police appeared
to be redoubled to-day, as the constables in the
passages of the court were more numerous, and
those inside the court each carried a capped revolver
in his hand.
The first witness called was
Mrs. Crawley, who said—On Friday, December
13, I was in Corporation-row, going in the direc-
tion of Woodbridge-street. As I was walking along
I saw a large package on the pavement covered over
with something. It appeared to be very close to
the prison wall. I saw one man standing in front
of the barrel, and two little boys close to the side of
it. There were two men standing on the opposite
side at the corner of the court.
Sir T. Henry—What age were the boys?
Witness—About ten and eleven. One of the
two men standing at the corner of the court stepped
forward and threw something across the street to the
man who was standing in front of the barrel. One
of the two little boys stooped down and picked
something up, and the other said, " That belongs
to the man." By that time I got close up to them,
and I then heard one of the boys say, " That will
do, master—that will do." By that time I had
passed, and I then saw it was a barrel with a squib
at the end of it alight. I ran past, and went on the
opposite side of the way. I got about the distance
of two houses, when I met the constable, and called
his attention to the matter.
Sir T. Henry—What constable was that ?
Witness—l think his name is Moriarty. Ho made
me no reply.
Sir T. Henry—What did you say ?
Witness-1 think they were letting off fireworks,
and I said, pointing to the barrel, " What sort of a
gun do you call that ?" The constable made no
reply, but crossed over, and appeared to me to
have nearly reached the barrel, when I saw the men

ran away.
Mr. Poland—The men standing near the barrel ?
Witness—Yes. The policeman turned round.
Sir T. Henry—How far was the constable from
the man?
Witness—He appeared to be about four yards.
Sir T. Henry—When the man began to run ?
Witness—Yes.
Sir T. Henry—Do you think he would have ap-
prehended them?
-he could if he had hurried
Witness—l think
himself.
Mr. Poland—Where did he go ?
Witness—He appeared to have only time to turn
round when I heard a great noise. I felt a blow on
my back, and I was then knocked down. I had
got to No. 5 house ; the barrel was placed opposite
No. 3.
Sir T. Henry—What length of time was there
between the time the man ran away and the ex-

'325

plosion ?
Witness—Almost the same moment.
Sir T. Henry—The policeman never quite reached
the barrel ?
Witness —No.
Sir T. Henry—Did you see what became of the
men
Witness—No. When the explosion occurred my
bonnet was torn off my head, my watch was blown
from the chain, and my clothes all destroyed. The
men at the corner of the street were dressed in dark
clothes and tall black hats. The one that stood in
front of the barrel wore a brown coat.
Sir T. Henry—Do you recognise any of the
prisoners ?
Witness—The first one (Allen) seems to me to
be the man who threw something across the street.
The man who did it was about his size.
Sir T. Henry—Do you think if, when you said
to the constable " what sort of a game do you call
that ?" he could have caught the men if he had ran
at that moment ?
Witness-- Yes.
Sir T. Henry—Then what do you think prevented
his doing so.
Witness—He walked his usual pace.
Sir T. Henry—Then it was his not running ?
Witness—Yes.
Sir T. Henry Could he see the squib from
where you were talking to him ?
Witness—No.
Sir T. Henry--Had you mentioned the word
it fireworks" to him ?
Witness—No. I had not the opportunity.
Sir T. Henry—Have you not seen all the boys
in the hospital ?
Witness—No.
Sr T. Henry—l think you ought to have seen
them, you might have recognised some of them ?
Witness—l don't think I could.
Sir T. Henry—You had better go to the hospital
and see the boys ?
Cross-examined by Mr. Harper-4 saw the three
men distinctly, but I could not distinguish the
features of either. The barrel was against the
wall when I passed it. I only recognise Allen from
his size and general appearance. I never suspected
anything wrong was going on.
Sir T. Henry—Allen, if you wish to ask the wit-
ness any question, as you have no solicitor, you can
do so.
Allen—l've no question to ask.
John Davis—l reside at 48, King's-cross-road,
and am an engineer. I was engaged at work at
No. 7, Corporation-lane, on the 13th of December,
opposite Mr. Terry's. I had been there all the
afternoon, but between three and four my attention
was directed to the matter through a conver-
sation going on between a policeman and the
milkman. I heard the milkman tell the policeman
something, and then I looked down Corporation-
lane. I saw a barrel there with three little boys on
one side and a man of gentlemanly appearance on
the other. I saw the man stooping down to the
barrel, but I cannot say what he was doing. I did
not notice either the man or the barrel until I heard
the milkman talking to the constable. After this
I saw the policeman walk into the middle of the
road, then he came on to the pavement on the same
side of the way that I was. He then walked directly
in a straight line over to the barrel. I saw some-
thing like a squib coming out of the barrel when the
policeman got pretty close it. It was alight.
The man then gave a hasty look at the
barrel and then ran away towards St. James's-

passage.
Mr. Giffard—Could you recognise the mau ?
Witness—No, I could not. I never saw his
face.

Mr. Giffard—What did the policeman do when
he saw the cask ?

Witness—Why he ran back, and the explosion
occurred in about a minute after.
Sir T. Henry—Do you know what became of the
three little boys ?
Witness—They all ran away at the same time
the man did.
Thomas Francis Young--I now reside in Arling-
ton-street. I formerly resided at No. 4, Corpora-
