THE CORN TRADE.

LIVERPOOL, AUG. 19. The dull accounts from London
last week pat an extinguisher upon all life in the corn trade
here, and the few sales effected in Wheat were rather in favour
of the buyer ; other articles remained steady in value. On
Sunday night considerable rain fell, and yesterday was showery
with a warmer temperature, being decidedly the most dangerous
day we have yet had. A great portion of the Wheat in this
district has suffered severely from wet, inclement weather, being
sadly discoloured, mildewed, and blighted, and we believe the
injury already sustained by the crops in this kingdom to be of a
more serious character than is generally supposed ; the last
two weeks the crops have made very little advance toward
ripening, consequently a September, if not an October, gather-
ing of the new grain is the prospect before us, with all the re-
tarding consequences of shortened days and lengthened nights.
The weight of the new Wheat cannot, even if hot continued
sunshine should visit us, equal last year's growth by two or
three pounds per imperial bushel. Exported to Ireland from
the 12th to the 18th inst. inclusive :-132 qrs. Indian corn. ;
Coastwise, 67 qrs. Wheat, 300 qra. Rye, 175 Ids. Oatmeal,
268 sks. and 120 brls. Flour. The weather is alarming, but
the lower account from London for Wheat prevented any ad-
vance here to-day ; holders, feeling certain that old Wheat
must increase in value, were more firm. For all other articles
we repeat our quotations of this day week.
AUGUST 20. —Last night was wild and wet; to-day has been
much like a cold, rough, and strong one in February. Specu-
lators and dealers also have been at work here to-day in wheat,
and trying in vain to get bonded flour at the late advanced
rates. Wheat made Id. to 3d. for 701b5., and in one instance
4(1. over yesterday's terms. The prospect for the growing
wheat is gloomy in the extreme.

The new trial of Messrs. Walker, Lambert, Pey..
ronnet, Fraser, Ogleby, Drummond Baring (who is still in de-
fault), and Emma Caye, for cheating at play with marked
cards, ordered by the Court of Cessation, on its quashing the
last judgment against the parties, to take place before the Cour
Royale at Rouen, commenced on Thursday and lasted till Sa-
turday inclusively. All the accused parties appeared in court
except Mr. Drummond Baring. Emma Cave was even more
elegantly dressed than when she came before the Court of
Paris, and was the object of general curiosity, but she pertina-
ciously kept her veil down during the whole of the time, so
that her face could not be seen. The statement of the grounds
of prosecution and the evidence in support of it, and the argu-
ments of the counsel on both sides, were so nearly the same as
those which we have repeatedly stated, that it is quite unneces-
sary for us to give any further details of the circumstances of
the trial. We shall, therefore, content ourselves with announc-
ing that M. Frank Carre, the president of the court, pro-
nounced the judgment, declaring all the parties to be guilty,
and condemning Lambert to be imprisoned for five years,
Walker and Peyronnet for three years, Fraser and Ogleby for
two years, and Emma Caye for one year. They were each ad-
judged to pay a fine of 50f., and made liable, jointly and
severally, to the payment of all the costs. Another appeal will
no doubt be carried up to the Court of Cassation, upon the
same grounds that produced the reversal of the farmer judg-
ment of the Cour Royale of Paris, which, however, had not
imposed so heavy a sentence as that now pronounced against
the prisoners Lambert, Peyronnet, Walker, Fraser, and Baring,
having been condemned only to two years' imprisonment, and
Ogleby and Emma Ca) e to one year.— Galignani.
