THE LITE CAPTAIN ROBERT MAIJNSELL, C.B. Our
obituary, yesterday, recorded the death of Captain Robert
Maunsell, C. 8., a commissioner of Greenwich Hospital.
Captain Maunsell was a gallant and distinguished Aker, and
was very much respected. His first promotion in 1805, to
the rank of lieutenant, was for service in the boats of the
Maidstone, when midshipman of that ship the preceding year,
in cutting out a convoy near Toulon. In 1808: he was pro-
moted to the rank of commander, and won his last step
of post rank while commanding the Proeris sloop, by a most
gallant exploit of leading her boats to the attack of six French
gun boats, which he captured off the Island of
Java, and by his services on shore at the reduction of
that island in 1811. In 1831 he commanded the Alfred, 50,
in the Mediterranean ; in 1838 he was nominated a Companion
of the Bath; in 1840 he commanded the Rodney, 92, in the
Mediterranean, and in her voyage to the Cape with a regiment

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.

CORN—EXCHANGE
Since Monday the arrivals of Wheat, co ist wise as well as
by land carriage and sample, lave been seasonably large,
though not to say extensive, while they have principally,
consisted of new parcels. Our advices from the most impor-
tant grain districts being of a favourable character, and the
show of samples being good, we have to report a very inac-
tive demand for English Wheat, at barely, but at nothing
quotable beneath, the depres ion in value noticed on last
market day. The imports of Foreign Wheat c utinue on a
moderate scale. To-day exceedingly little was dcing, either
in free or bonded sorts, yet rices r led ab ut stationary.
Very little Barley, either English or Foreign. was offering.
About 100 quarters of new sold at from ?8s to 30s per
quarter. The Malt trade was again very steady, and last
week's quotations were well supported. Oats, owing to the
abundance of foreign, sold heavily, at somewhat drooping
figures. Beaus were more plentiful than of late, and the
turn lower. Nearly the whole of the Peas offering were
of the present year's growth. Their quality was very good.
White boilers sold at 33s to 40s ; Maples, 37s to 39s ; and
llog, 36s to 38s per quarter. The Flour trade was very
dull, and ships' marks were Is per 2Solbs lower.
