POLICE INTELLIGENCE

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A private of the Scotch Fusilier Guards, named Robert
Henderson, was brought up, charged with being a deserter.
Mr. HALL, as soon as the prisoner was placed at the bar,
addressed him, and said I have received a commucation from
the Horse Guards that you are not a deserter.
Prisoner—l am a deserter, Sir.
Mr. HALL—An investigation has taken place at the Horse
Guards, and it is reported to me that you are not a deserter ;
but you may rest assured that if you are brought here again
under similar circumstances you will be imprisoned. You
are discharged this time.
The prisoner then left, again protesting that he was a de-
serter.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

We received about an average quantity of Wheat from
Essex, but an unusually small supply from Suffolk and Kent.
The stands exhibited on the whole a fair show of samples
of Wheat of home produce, while the demand for it was
steady, at, prices about equal to those obtained on this day
se'nnight. At the close of business most of the best descrip-
tions had found buyers ; but a portion of the middling
and inferior kinds was left over for Wednesday next.
The supply of fine Foreign Wheat offering was rather
limited, yet the amount of business doing in it was
scanty. Holders were firm, and for the few transac-
tions reported, last week's rates were supported. So little
was doing in corn under lock, that the prices must be con-
sidered next to nominal. The supply of barley has fallen
off considerably since our last. The Hertfordshire malsters
took off a large portion of the malting qualities, at full
prices ; but the value of grinding and distilling was with
difficulty maintained. Malt was held on full as good terms
as of late. Irish Oats were barely an average in amount,
their quotations underwent no change. Beans, peas, and
flour moved off slowly. The two former at barely ; the latter
at fully last Monday's value.

We had a full average supply, and there was an eviden,
improvement in the general quality of the Scots, short horns
and Devons. The attendance of buyers was numerous, but
the Beef trade was in a sluggish state. The prices obtained
on this day se'nnight—those of the best sorts ruling from
3s lod to 4s per 81bs, were well supported, though
some difficulty was experienced on the part of the
salesmen in effecting a clearance. The numbers of
Sheep were fully adequate to meet the wants of
the butchers. Prime old Downs sold steadily. Kents,
half-breds, &c., slowly, at last week's quotations. There
were about 100 shorn 'Sheep and 50 Lambs, but their quota-
tions were very uneven. The number of Calves were small,
while the sale for them was active, at full currencies. In
Pigs, a good business was doing at late rates. No importa-
tions of Foreign Stock since our last.

NEWOATE AND TaLADENIZAZI.
A very extensive supply of country killed meat has been
received up to these markets in, for the most part (owing to
the frequent changes in the weather) bad condition. With
meat killed in London, we continue to be largely supplied,
and, in consequence, the trade is very dull, at barely sta-
tionary prices.
