WAKEFIELD,March 21.
The supply of Wheat from the Farmers is short, but the
- - - - - - - -

fresh arrival up the River is pretty fair, good dry samples
have been in demand, at an advance of Is. to 2e. per qr.,
and there has been more doing in middling qualities, at an
improvement of Is, per quarter. Oats are very dull, the
consumption westward being chiefly supplied by Irish from
Liverpool. Fine heavy Ruley is in fair demand at the
rates of last Friday, but the light samples L.re very dull
sale. The supply of Beans is large ; samples which are
tolerably dry are dull, at a decline of Is. per quarter, and
such as are soft (of which the greater part of the supply
consists) arc nearly unsaleable. The Oil market being
dull, there is very little doing its Rapeseed.

MANSION-HOUSL—NIr. Dillon, one of the pa; t;.;;;.
in the firm ' of :Morrison and Co. of Fore-street, appealed
at the Mansion-house to give information of an extauti:x
robbery committed upon the house by a confidential pervae..;
named Watt. It is believed that Watt is on his way tc..
America, as he has been traced in his inquiries after vesze...,
which sail to Halifax and other parts of that country._
is offered for his apprehension and conviction.
BOW-STREET.---On Saturday Sir E. I:nat.:Unit
appeared at this office to prekr a charge of careless drivin,,f
against John Arundell, a little boy, apparently not more.
than 12 or 13 years old, who, it appeared, was most im •
properly intrusted with the hackney-coach No. 756.
Sir E. Knatchbull stated, that on Thursday last he was
returning to town in a hired chaise, and in passing over
Westminster-bridge, the chaise in which he sat met with a
violent concussion, the defendant having driven his coach
against it. The driver of the chaise was tliroTvn from his
beat upon the pavement, and severely hurt. The defeni..,
ant was also thrown from him box, but experienced ua,
injury. The chaise war, however, considerably injured.
—The Hon. Baronet added, that he was induced to conic.
forward chiefly with a view of punishing the owner of tha
coach for suffering so young a boy to drive it, and thereby
endanger the lives of passenger,.

. -
Sir R. BIRNIE asked the defendant how old he wris?
The little fellow endeavoured to magnify his tlltnensions

" I am 16, your Worship," said tha little jarvey.
"1 ace you have been well tutored," said the Magistrate.,
" I do not believe you are more than 12 years old."
It was ultimately decided that the case should be ad-
journed to Thursday, in order to give the owner of the
coach an opportunity of making (rood the damage he bad,
caused, in which case the worth; Baronet consented to
waive any further proceedings.
UNION-HALL.—Mary Turner, a girl of 1: years o.t;
age, was brought up by Keyse, the constable, cat a cliarey,
of being riotous and disorderly in Blackftr?.rs,road op the
preceding night.

..
The constable having stated the charge, by wilich it alp..
peared the defendant was a girl of the most depraved and
abandoned character, a gentleman, who described himself
a Captain in the navy, stepped forward and said that hi-
only son, then present in the office, had formed a con-
nexion with this girl and some of her profligate companions,
and so infatuated was he, particularly with Turner, that
he deserted his family for the arms of a prostitute, and
threw up a lucrative situation which had been provided
for him in the East India Company's service. .
Mr. HONE said that he sbunld endeavour to bleat: th,-.
intimacy between them by sending the girl to gaol.
