MARKET NEW,S.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXC ITANGE -WEDNESDAY.
The supply of English Wheat, which principally consisted
of that left over from Monday's market, being extensive for
the time f year, and the attendance of millers compara-
tively small, the demand for that description of grain was in
a very sluggish state; still, however, the factors were again
tolerably firm in their holdings, arising principally front the
prevailing damp weather, and the slow progress making in
the harvest fields. The finest parcels of both Red and
White sold at prices quite equal to those paid
on Monday ; but in other kinds exceedingly little
was doing, and a clearance was not effected. The
show of free Foreign Wheat was not to say large,
yet very little business was doing in it, at unaltered
currencies. Ci.rn under lock commanded very little atten-
tion, and prices in many instances ruled almost nominal.
The supply of Barley was extremely small. Grinding par-
cels moved off steadily at full prices. Malting and Distilling
qualities were heavy. The best White Malt found b'iyors at
extreme rates. The secondary kinds were a mere drug.
Owing to the moderate nature of the Oat arrivals the sale,
ruled firm, and prices were well supported. Beans, Peas,
and Flour as last quoted.

. _ WOOLWICH REGATTA.

The annual contest amongst the watermen plying at Wool-
wich came off yesterday, and notwithstanding the dull, cheer-
less, unfavourable state of the weather, so ill-suited for an exhi-
bition of this kind, was attended by a vast number of persons,
both on the shore and on the river. The race was with six
scullers, in five heats, for a new boat, and some very liberal
money prizes, and extended the whole river front of the town,
the distance being repeated in each heat.
First heat—•E. Hound (green), I ; Henry Davis (red), 2;
E. Bryant (dark blue), 3.
Second heat—John Bryant (pink), 1 ; Thomas Spencer
(yellow), 2; Wm. Lane (light blue), 3.
Third heat—Davis, l ; E. Bryant, 2.
Fuurth heat—E. Hound, 1 ; E. Bryant, 2.
Fifth or Grand Heat—Round, 1 ; Bryant, 2.
The men went away very well together, and at a firm pace.
The winner shortly drew in advance, kept the lead, and won by
upwards of three lengths.

CRICKET.
Sussxx v. THE MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND WITH
Pn.cx.—This exciting match was resumed yesterday ( Tues-
day) morning, Sussex, with the formidable score they had
obtained over night, with the loss of only four wickets, going
in again with every confidence of winning, and, according to
all appearances, win they will, Marylebone find themselves at
the close of the first innings in a minority of 130 runs. Mary-
lebone went in again at ten minutes to six upon the runs, and
up to seven o'clock, about half an hour before the stumps were
struck for the day, the game stood as follows:
Sussex.—First innings, 265.
Marylebone.—First innings, 138; second innings, 30.

SMALL DEBTS ACT.—Yesterday the Act for the
better securing the payment of small debts was issued. In
every stage of the measure alterations have been made, and
it was only on receiving the royal assent on Saturday that it
was known that further carrectrons could not be made until
Parliament again assembled. There are twenty-five sections
and four schedules in the Act. Singularly enough, it dates
its operation just twelvemonths from the passing of the Act
which liberated some hundreds of poor persons who were in
custody for sums not exceeding 2(1., and prevented the incar-
ceration of some hundreds of others for like sums. It will be
well if a reaction does not take place, and creditors proceed to
extremes, under the provisions of the new law. Debtors may
now be induced to " make their peace" with their creditors
without putting the machinery of the new law into operation.
The general effect of the law appears to be, that a creditor who
has obtained a judgment, or any order for payment, from a
competent court, for any sum not exceeding 201., can expe-
ditiously and cheaply summon a debtor to the Court of
Bankruptcy, or Court of Requests, provided the latter is
presided over by a barrister, special pleader, or an attorney
who has been ten years in 'practice. The debtor may
be examined as well as the creditor, and, should the debtor
fail to attend, or make a satisfactory answer, or shall
appear to have been guilty of any fraud, either in the removal
of his goods, or the contraction of the debt, he may be sent to
prison for a period not exceeding forty days, which imprison-
ment is not to extinguish the debt, nor is it to be got rid of
by an order tram the Court of Bankruptcy or Insolvent
Debtors, but the judge who sent him to prison may order the
discharge on satisfaction being made by the payment of the
debt and costs. One of the last amended amendments States
that the actual necessaries of the debtor shall not be seized in
execution, and allows him goods, tools, &c., to the value of 51.
The jurisdictions of the present inferior courts may, by an
Order in Council, be extended to 20/., and all such applica-
tions must be advertised in the London Gazette one month
before they are considered. Witnesses not attending when
summoned may be fined 51., to be enforced in like manner as
payment of any debt recovered by a judgment. There is power
given to execute warrants against the person or goods of a
debtor against whom an order has been obtained, notwith-
standing the removal from the jurisdiction of the court in
which such order was obtained. The Act is only to apply to
England. The forms to be used and the fees to be charged
are set forth in the schedules of the Act. Creditors and
debtors may be their own lawyers in the matter. Provided
the small debts' courts are extended and presided over as
mentioned, very few actions will be brought in the superior
courts for amounts under 20/. The Act took effect from Sa-
turday last.
PRICE or GoLn.—The premium on gold at Paris
is ei per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s.
10/d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 3Si; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25 524, it follows that gold is 0.55 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of
gold is 4341 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 9i; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13 11, it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of ex-
change at New York on London is 1091 per cent. ; and the
par of exchange between England and America being
109 23-40 per cent., it foliates that the exchange is 0.18 per
cent. in favour of England. But the quoted exchange at New
York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must
be added to the above difference.
FATAL CART ACCIDENT.—On Monday Mr. Joseph
Payne held an inquest at Guy's Hospital on the body of
H. Stevens, aged fourteen ) ears. On Saturday last the de-
embed accompanied a cart, belonging to Here's Dundee-
wharf, Wapping, to Leadenhall -street. and, whilst waiting
there the arrival of another vehicle, he seated himself
upon the shafts, bolding the reins, when the horse moved
on, and he fell, and the wheel passed over his body. He
was immediately extricated by some by-standers, and
conveyed to the hospital—Verdict, " Accidental death.
Grisi, Mario, F. Lablache, Benedict, and John
Parry, commence their first tour performances at Mr.
Machin's grand concert at Birmingham, on the 21st of this
month.
