MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have
been on a very moderate scale, and we had scarcely any
fresh samples of that grain. The finest parcels com-
manded a steady sale, at full prices. In other kinds, only
a moderate business was doing. Fine Foreign Wheat
was held at full ',prices, but the business doing was by no
means extensive. Barley and Malt moved off slowly, at
Monday's quotations. The Oat trade was very steady,
and full prices were paid in every instance. Beans, Peas,
and Flour, ruled about stationery.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
A poor half-starved looking man was placed before
Mr. Alderman John Johnson on a charge of having this
morning broken one of the gas-lamps in Fleet-street.
The poor creature, to inquiries from the worthy Al-
derman, said that he was starving, as he could get no
work, and that he broke the glass to get into prison.
Alderman JonNsersr—Have you applied to the union ?
Prisoner—l did last night, and they refused me relief.
Alderman JOHNSON—What is your trade?—A glazier.
Alderman JouNsoN—Have you ever been in prison ?
—I am just out of Tothillfields, where I was sent for
begging. I cannot starve.
The Alderman ordered that he should be taken to the
West London Union.

the labourers and others present, was speedily extin-
guished. Sarah Jubson, aged 15, maid-servant in Mr.
