MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAYS)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The accounts received from the Northern districts, in reverence
to the progress making in harvest work, not being very satisfactory,
and the arrivals of Wheat of home produce fresh up being small, com-
pared with those of many previous we.sks, we have to report a de-
cided improvement in the demand for that deseription of grain, at an
advance In the currencies obtained on Monday last, of from Is to 2s
per quarter, and at which nearly the whole of the supply was dis-
posed of. There was more activity in the sale for fine
Foreign Wheat, at an improvement of from is to 2s
per quarter, with every prospect of a still further advance.
The duty on foreign Wheat remaining stationary, very few parcels
have been, as yet, entered for home consumption. Several orders
having been again received from Holland and Belgium, holders of
Wheat under lock were firm, at an advance in prices from 2s to 3s
per quarter. There was no new Barley at market. Grinding and
distilling sorts were quite as dear ' • but malting kinds commanded
very little attention. For Malt we had more inquiry, at a slight im-
provement in value, but the amount of business doing was not large.
Both Beans and Peas commanded a ready sale, at an improvement
of from is to 2s per quarter. Although the supply of Irish Oats
was on the increase, the Oat trade was firm, at 6d per quarter more
money.

SSZITHPIELD.

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts on sale was very moderate,
the Beef trade was in a depressed state, and Monday's prices were
with difficulty supported. We had on offer 70 Oxen and Cows, 140
Sheep, and 7 Calves from Holland, in fair condition. The numbers
of Sheep were small, owing to which the Mutton trade was steady,
at full prices. The same observations may be applied to Lambs.
Calves were in short supply and active request, at an advance of
2d per 81bs. Pigs steady, at late rates. Mikh Cows moved off
slowly, at from 161 to 191 each. Suckling Calves, 188 to 30s ; and
Quarter old store Pigs, 16s to 20s each. Beasts, 700; Cows, 92 ;
Sheep and Lambs, 6,100 ; Calves, 286 ; Pigs, 288.

BOROUGH HOP rizArit=ET.

Several pockets of Hops have come to hand this week from Kent,
and which have commanded a steady sale, at from 81. Bs. to 81. 10s,
per cwt. Old Hops, the supply of which is small, more off freely, al
full prices. The duty is called from 175,0001. to 180,0001.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.)
John Dale, aged 15, pleaded guilty to robbing his employers, Messrs.
A. Lloydd and Co., of twenty sovereigns, and other monies.
The COMMON-SERGEANT said that It was necessary that an example
should be made where servants robbed their masters. He was sorry
to say that the crime was largely on the increase. The prisoner was
sentenced to be transported for ten years.
Thomas Green, aged 20, a labourer, was indicted for stealing 3,000
paper bags.

Edward Brenock, of Paddington, stated that the prisoner was in
his service in August last. Soon after he left his employment he took
the property mentioned, without his order, to Mr. Hunter, and re-
ceived the money for the bags, amounting to 17s.
Elizabeth Hunter stated that the prisoner brought the bags, alleg-
ing that he haci been sent by his master. He received the money
and signed the receipt.

The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned for
twelve months.

The prisoner, in the most impudent manner said, " I would rather
you would transport me at once."

(Before Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN and Mr. Justice ERLE.)
RAILWAY ROBBERY.—Charles Maynard, an agent, was indicted for
feloniously receiving a writing case and 10 sovereign of Vaughan
Prance, knowing the same to be stolen.
Mr. BALLANTINE, on the part of the prisoner, moved that the trial
might be postpened till next session.
Mr. CLARKSON, for the prosecution, did not offer any objection,
and the trial was accordingly postponed.
FORGERY.. Charies Launder, a surveyor, was charged with having
feloniously forged a deed with intent to defraud John Laurie and
others.

Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine were for the prosecution ; Mr.
Parry was for the defence.

Mr. Ctiatasox stated the case. The prisoner was charged with
having forged the name of a highly respectable gentleman, Mr.
De Lisle, to a deed of agreement with the South Midland or Nor-
thampton and Leicester Railway Company. The Company had
issued their prospectus in the usual way, and as application was
made by the prisoner under the signature of Mr. De Lisle for fifty
shares; twenty-dve shares were afterwards allotted to him. soon
after the prisoner presented himself at the office of the Company,
and signed the deed in the name of Ferdinand De Lisle, and he then
described himself as a merchant residing at Russell House, Balham.
It would he shown that Russell House was occupied by a man named
Shaw and his wife, and that letters were addressed to him there
under the name he had for the time assumed. Mr. Clarkson then
called witnesses.

George Brown, Secretary to the South Midland Company, said
that on the 19th July he received a letter of application for 50 shares.
The letter was signed Ferdinand de Lisle, and referred to Messrs.
Hankey as vouchers for his respectability. Twenty-five shares were
allotted. The prisoner afterwards came to the office and signed the
subscribers' deed.

Henry Stanley stated that he was the attesting witness to the deed
and ths prisoner was the man who signed it. After the signature of
Ferdinand de Lisle had been affixed, the scrip was handed over
to him.

Charles Shaw said that he was, in the absence of the proprietor, in
charge of Russell House, and the prisoner was in the habit of re-
ceiving letters addressed to him as ➢lr. Ferdinand de Lisle.

Mrs: Shaw corroborated her husband's evidence.

Mr. Scruday, Secretary to the Isle of Jersey Railway Company,
said that the prisoner was introduced to him as Mr. de Lisle, and
afterwards he signed the deed in the name of that gentleman.
Mr. De Lisle, merchant and banker, tin:l6, Devonshire-place, said
that the prisoner was unknown to him. The signature to the deed
was not in his (witness's) hand-writing, and he had not authorised
any other persons to sign for him.
Francis Morris, police-constable, said, that when he apprehended
the prisoner, he said that he was not aware that he was doing any-
thing wrong, for he knew many persons who obtained railway shares
in a similar manner.
The deed itself was then read to the Court.
This closed the case for the prosecution.

Mr. PARRY submitted that there was no case for the jury, on the
ground that the deed, as the Company might not yet be considered
in existence, was not a perfect instrument.
The objection was, however, overruled.
The Learned COUNSEL then addressed the jury, who, after a
summing up by Mr. Justice Wightman, returned a verdict of Guilty ;
but they recommended him to mercy on the ground that he was ap-
parently an instrument in the hands of other parties, and because
there had not been sufficient care taken by the Railway Company.
Mr. Justice WIOUTMAN then passed sentence. The whole of the
forgery exhibited the utmost art and deliberation, and he could see
nothing in the circumstances to warrant any mitigation of punish-
ment ; but, in consequence of the recommendation of the jury, the
sentence would not be so severe as it might otherwise be. The sen-
t tence was, that he be transported for seven years.

THE FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE
BRISTOL AND BIRMINGHAM LINE.

DEFFORD, THITZSDAY.—The inquest was not brought to a close
yesterday evening, as was expected. The only witnesses examined
yesterday afternoon were Mr. Sanders. Secretary to the Bristol and
Birmingham Railway, and Mr. M'Connell. The latter merely bore
testimony to the good character of Baird, and the former gave
some explanations relative to his previous evidence. The proceed-
ings re-commenced this morning, about htlf-past ten.
John Murphy, porter of the Defford station, and the man who
placed the fatal truck on the line, re-called, and examined by Mr.
Nott—l did say in my evidence that I have known trains pass with-
out stopping, but It was not my duty to report them ; if I were to say
that it has happened many times I should say more than I know. I
should not think ten times ; sometimes they have slackened their
speed and told us they had their load. Mr. Dore has grumbled, and
said he would report them ; ho has told me he had reported them,
and that he bad received no answer. I cannot say if any inquiry
has been made at the Defford station into the truth of such reports ;
my duty is so different from Mr. pore's that I am not likely to
know these things. Ido not know any particular driver who had
passed. I really don't know if the same driver has passed twice.
The CORONER —The fact is, I think, you won't know.
Witness —lf you knew my duty, Sir, you would not think so. It
was Ward whose name I did not know till he was killed. The night of
the accident I did not signal any train, but as' I was moving the
truck I held the red light in my hand towards Eckington.—(The
lamp was here exhibited, and changed in a moment from red to
white, and vice versa.)

,
Examination resumed—When I ran up the bank after the accident
my light was red, but when I came down to assist of course it was
white, as I could not see with the red. We have two of these lights
at the station. Directly I got down the bank I saw Shaw with a
light in his hand ; it was white then, but red before the accident I
know, because I trimmed and turned it for him. After the accident I
saw Mr. Davis's lamp in the shed, and went and fetched it for him.
CORONEA—I asked that question, gentlemen, to explain what
Bromage said yesterday, as he said he saw a light in the shed.
Cross-examined—The other good light was Mr. Dore's. The
damaged one, on the night of the accident, was on the counter in the
office. I saw a red light that night on the platform on the station
side, a few minutes before the accident. I saw Mr. Dore leave it
there. He then expected a train, and I believe he went in to book
passengers. It is almost impossible to think, In a few moments,
what occurred on that night, but I think I did not see, before the
accident, a red light on the opposite platform. When under the shed
my back was towards Worcester and my red light towards Eckington.
Two or three jurors here observed that they did "rot see the use
of putting such trifling questions; many had been answered before ;
they led to nothing, except to the waste of time. After the exami-
nation of B. Taylor,

Mr. George Whateley, solicitor to the Company, addressed the
jury at considerable length.
The CORONER summed up, and the jury, having retired to consider
their verdict, were locked up until nearly eight o'clock, at which hour
the Court was re-opened, when the officials of the Company, and
other parties interested, having assembled,

The CORONER (addreiising the foreman) inquired whether the jury
had agreed to their verdict ?

The foreman replied in the affirmative, and proceeded to read,
from a written document, the following special verdict :
"We And that the deceased, Joseph Ward, died from injuries
caused by the accidental collision of a special goods train with a cer-
tain truck placed of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, at Def-
ford, on the night of the 30th of August, 1845 ; and that the engine,
No. 75, belonging to the Company of that railway, moved to the
death of the deceased (Joseph Ward). We find that its value Is
1,5001., and we make a deodand, of the same engine, to the amount
of 1,5001.

" In delivering this verdict the jury wish to express their opinion
that the rules and regulation.: of the Bristol and Birmingham Rail-
way Company, for the guidance of their servants, have been carried
out very inefficiently for some time past ; and, further, the jury con-
skier that the cramped state of the premises at the Defford station
for traffic calls for an additional siding' for the safety of the public,
as well as for loading and unloading goods."
Mr. Whateley said he received the verdict with all respect; but his
advice to the Company would be to resist the deodand to the utmost.
If the Company could feel that they were to blame, they would
gladly pay tcn times the amount.
The verdict was very nearly unanimous.. Seventeen of the jury
were for a deodand of 1,500/., and the remaining six for one of 1,0001.
The verdict on Miles Is simply one of " Accidental death."

On Wednesday the friends of Sir James E. Ten-
n ent gave him a farewell dinner at Lovegrove's. The Irish Society
of London took the initiative in this mark of respect to its founder,
and a splendid dessert service, value 700 guineas, was presented by
his fellow-countrymen to the new Secretary for Ceylon, Sergeant
Murphy, M.P., presided, Dr. Croly filling the vice-chair. Dwarkanauth
Tagore, the Indian Prince-banker, graced the meeting, which
numbered many distinguished artists, merchants, and literary cha-
racters. Au admirable address was read by R. Bell, Esq., and feel-
ingly acknowledged by the distinguished guest.
POST-OFFICE FACILITIES.--Henceforward the mails
for New Grenada will be made up and dispatched from London on
the morning of the 2d as well as 17th of each month, to be forwarded
from Southampton by the royal mail steam-packets, the Government
of New Grenada having engaged to provide a small vessel of war for
their conveyance from Port Royal, Jamaica, to Santa Martha.
Letters, however, addressed to the Isthmus of Panama, on the
south coast of the Pacific, will be forwarded by the mail of the 2d of
the month, unless directed via Santa Martha.

TROTTING IN HARNESS.—Yesterday a match to
trot in harness two miles for 11. aside came off near Tottenham-
cross, between two horses, belonging to Messrs. Wilkins and Roe, of
the City. They were driven by their respective owners, Roe taking
the lead, and maintaining it for the first mile, which was trotted in
three minutes and thirty-two seconds ; they kept on at a steady
pace the next half mile, when they were alongside each other, and the
race then commenced. Roe sprung his horse, which immediately
broke out to a gallop, and was pulled In and turned ; hio- opponent
then had the race in his own hands, and went in the winner by a
hundred and fifty yards. The two miles were accomplished in seven
minutes and six seconds

SAFETY DOOR CHECK TO RAILWAY CARRIAGES.-
There have been lately some narrow escapes owing to the doors of
railway carriages flying open, when leaned against, in consequence
of defects in the locks which fasten them. In the carriages on the
Hague and Rotterdam Railway, as we have had occasion to witness,
this is entirely prevented by very simple means. In addition to the
usual lock, each door is provided with a stout bolt or lever working
on a joint, which when the door is closed, drops into a,socket attached
to the doonfacing. This simple apparatus provides an almost certain
preventative against accidents from the cause we have mentioned,
and ought, therefore, to be adopted on all railways. Scottish Rail-
way Gazette.

BARNET AND NORTH METROPOLITAN JUNCTION
RAILWAY.—We are glad to find that Barnet, once the most cele-
brated posting town around London, and which has suffered so much
from ralway.s, has now a fair prospeet of compensation. A direct
railway communication between the northern districts of the
metropolis and Barnet has been proposed by influential parties,
and has met with very general support, more especially
from the inhabitants of that town. In fact, it is the only
chance of saving it from ruin. The line will proceed beyond the
range of the Higkgate and Hampste,d hills, through a populous dls •
trict, and out ot the range of the metropolitan omnibuses, and connect
Barnet not only with London and the various railways south of the
Thames, but also with the numerous towns and villages that lie to
the north of London. According to the engineers' report there are no
engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance.
DEATH OF THE HON. LIEUT. P. FOULK ES LYSAGIIT.

Lysaght, of the 10th Foot, fourth son of Lord Lisle by his second

enough in the horse to back him to any extent. We only
heard of one defaulter—the amount not very heavy.
The races commenced at half-past two o'clock, and, not-

were well attended. The racing, which excited a good deal
