THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE OF

F \1;- .7,-,

;It tll3 ;coo.r
death of Mr. J. G. H. Bourne, the late Chief Justice of New-
foundland ; but something more is due as a tribute to the
memory of this gentleman. Mr. Bourne was born at East-
wood, in the county of Nottingham. He commenced his
education at Southwell, and was highly admired fcr his suc-
cess and proficiency in the various branches of academical
studies. He was then sent to Eton, where he greatly distin-
guished himself by his classical acquirements. He next en-
tered Pembroke College, Oxford, and took his degree of M.A.,
and was afterwards elected a Fellow of Magdalene College.
UFon his marriage he, of course, lost his valuable fellow-
ship, with all its prospective advantages, and this by the
old law that still remains on the statutes of the Univer-
sity. Mr. Bourne now entered the Middle Temple, and be-
coming a barrister, be went the Midland Circuit, where he
was much esteemed by the most distinguished members of
the profe,sien. lie was also appointed revising barrister :or
that circuit. He was called to fill the judicial bench in New-
f dl and by Lord Glenelg, the then Colonial Secretary, at the
age of 34. No man ever acquired more esteem for humanity, in-
tegrity, and amenity. In this colony he entirely discontinued
the infliction of the punishment of death, and with the hap-
Dint of effects. He even declared his resolution to throw up
his office rather than be the means of depriving any human
being of life. Mr. Bourne was the author of seve-
ral works, viz., "The Exile of Idria," "England Won," &c.;
also translated the best poems of De Beranger. No person
ever passed through life with greater esteem and attachment
from friends than the late Chief Justice Bourne. On leaving
the colony several addresses were presented to him from all
classes of the community, speaking in the highest terms of
the deceased, and expressive of the deepregret they felt at his
loss. Amongst the friends that followed him to the grave,
we think it right to mention the name of Captain H. Pres-
cott, R.N., the late Governor of Newfoundland.

MARKET NEWS.-('ESTERDAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE

The arrivals of EtTglish Wheat for our market this wiek
have been on a very limited scale ; hence the show of samples
of that Grain here was small. Owing, however, to the con-
fident rumours afloat that an alteration in the corn-laws is
inevitable, the demand for all descriptions was unusually
heavy, and prices ruled almost nominal. To sell, however,
lower rates must have been submitted to. In Foreign Wheat,
free as well as in bond, scarcely a transaction took place. Of all
other kinds of Grain the receipts, this week, have been small ;
yet, owing to the above-mentioned cause, the sale for them
was exceeding depressed, at next to nominal quotations.

Although we had a full average supply of Beasts on sale
this morning, the Beef trade was steady, and Monday's prices
were firmly supported. There were on offer 120 Oxen and
Cows, 210 Sheep, and 2 Calves, from Holland. The number
of Sheep were small, yet the demand for them was inactive,
at about previous quotations. Calves were in short supply,
and ready inquiry, at an advance of 2d. per Sibs. Pigs moved
off firmly, at very full prices. Milch Cows were a dull sale,
at from 161. to 191. each, including their small calf.

must be considered inactive, at last week's prices. New
