MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
Although the show of samples of both red and white
English Wheat was small, the demand, owing to the pre-
vailing fine weather, was in a very depressed state, at a
decline on last Monday's quotations of from is to 2s per
quarter. From abroad, the fresh supplies are good, and the
rates suffered an abatement of quite is per quarter. In
Wheat and other articles under lock, rates almost nominal.
The Barley trade, however, was in a very sluggish state,
and last week's prices were supported. Malt at an abate-
ment of is per quarter. Oats at a decline of from 6d to is
per quarter. Beans declined in value is per quarter. White
Boiling Peas were quite as dear; but other sorts were again
lower. Flour was 2s per 2801bs. cheaper. Seeds at drooping
figures.

to those obtained on this day se'nnight, the best old Downs
producing 4s per 81bs. No improvement was noticed in the
quotations for Lambs. Calves at barely late rates. The
Pork trade was very dull at our last quotations.

The supplies of Meat killed in the metropolis having been
good, the general demand has ruled inactive. However, the
prirmst qualities have mostly supported late rates, but the
value of all other kinds has, in some instances, suffered an
abatement of 2d per 81bs. A few carcases of foreign Beef,
bad in colour and condition, have sold only at from 2s 6d to
2s 8d per Blbs.

UNION-HA LL.—(THIS DAY.)
Faith Bowerman, a young female, 22 years of age, was
charged before Mr. Cottingham, with the murder of her il-
legitimate child. From the evidence it appeared that the
prisoner had been residing with her brother and sister for the
last three months in the Belvidere-road, Lambeth. On the
morning of the I,t instant, a boy, in the employ of Mr.
Patrick, timber merchant, in the Belvidere-road, found an
infant in the yard dead, and bleeding from wounds on the
head. A policeman having been called, it was coon ascer-
tained that the infant had been thrown over a ten feet wall,
which divided the house where the prisoner lived from
the timber-yard. Inquiries were made there, and from
the quantity of blood found in the water- closet and other
circumstances, a surgeon was sent for, who pronounced that
the prisoner had been recently delivered of a child; and she
was forthwith conveyed to the Lambeth workhouse, where
she has remained until this morning, when, being considered
sufficiently recovered, she was brought up for examination on
the charge.
The surgeon, who was called to examine the body of the
infant, stated that he had no doubt its death was attributable
to the injuries it received on the head from being thrown from
a considerable eminence.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
A young man, dressed in superior style, who gave the
name of John Lee, stated himself to be residing at Bermond •
sey, and in independent circumstances, was placed at the bar
on the following charge :
A foreign young gentleman, whose name did not trans-
pire, but who is at present staying at the Club Hotel, Re-
gent-street, stated that as he was leaving the Haymarket
Theatre on Saturday night, accompanied by some ladies,
whom lie was escorting to their carriage, he heard some sil-
ver gingle on the stone flooring of the outward hall, imme-
diately behind the spot on which he was standing. An idea
flashed across him at the instant that he might have been
robbed, and recollecting that he had placed his purse,
containing both gold and silver, in one of his coat
skirt pockets, he abruptly turned round, and saw the
prisoner close behind him. The prisoner at that time
had his (witness's? purse in his hand, and a gentleman
close to him, took it from his hand and gave it to witness.
The prisoner was thereupon given into custody ; he made
strong protestations of his respectability, but they were un-
heeded, and he was locked up. The purse contained a double
sovereign, two sovereigns, a half sovereign, and some silver.
The purse, when found, contained the coins mentioned, with
the exception of two or three of the pieces of silver, which
might have fallen out, as the slide was not put down close on
that side of the purse.
A solicitor appeared on the prisoner's behalf.
Mr. 3IALTBY asked if the prisoner was known to the police ?
Sergeant A 77, who took the prisoner into custody, replied
that he had known him to be the associate of convicted
thieves for two years past and upwards.
Mr. MALTBY decided to send the prisoner for trial.
