MARKET NEWS.-(TII1S DAY.)

CORN EXCHATSGE-(MONDAY.)
The past week's arrivals of most descriptions of Grain have
been on a very moderate scale ; but, generally speaking, of
full average quality. Fresh up to-day, the receipts of Wheat
of home produce, were trifling; hence the supply of that ar-
ticle offering was small. Selected parcels of both red and
white commanded a steady demand, at prices fully equal to
those paid on this day se'nnight. In all other kinds, only a
moderate business was doing, at late rates, and a clearance of
such was not effected. From all quarters our accounts rela-
tive to the appearance of the young wheat plants are very
satisfactory. No foreign Wheat has come to hand since our last,
while little of that article was brought forward to-day. Holders
of nearly every description were very firm, and obtained full
currencies without difficulty. In Corn under lock scarcely
any sales took place, and prices may he considered little
better than nominal. Notwithstanding the supply of Barley
was not to say large, that grain met a very dull sale.
Selected parcels of malting sold at full rates ; but the
value of all other kinds had a downward tendency. The
Malt trade was excessively dull, and last week's prices were
with difficulty supported. In Oats comparatively little was
doing, yet prices were maintained. Beans, Peas, and Flour,
as last quoted. The Seed trade was again dull ; and Clover
Seed was a trifle lower.

sr.TxTsrxELD,
The imports of live stock from abroad during the past
V:eek have been somewhat on the increase, they having con-
'sited of 51 Oxen and 25 Cows, or a total of 76 head, all from
Holland, and in fair average condition. To-day there were
on offer 27 Beasts, the whole of which were quite equal to
those we have witnessed for some time past, while they found
'sayers at prices varying from 151 to 181 lOs each. The navi-
gation being now open at Rotterdam, several large importa-
tions of Beasts are expected thence in the present
-week. The arrivals of Beasst fresh up were somewhat
extensive for the time of year, while a slight
improvement was noticed in their general quality,
especially as respects the Scots from Scotland. The Beef
trade was in a very sluggish state, at prices barely equal to
those obtained on Slonday last, the primest Scots producing
3a lod per Ribs. At the close of the market a clearance was
not effected. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire consisted of 2.000 Scots and homebreds, while
from the northern grazing districts we received only 150 short
_horns; from the western and midland districts 400 Herefords,
Runs, Devout., &c. ; from other parts of England 300 of va-
rious breeds; and from Scotland 120 horned and polled Scots.
The numbers of Sheep were not to say extensive, though
quite equal to the demand ; on the whole the Mutton trade
was firm, and the primest old Dawns found ready buyers, at
4s 6d per Sibs. From the Isle of Wight 140 Lambs were
Teceived, while the supplies from Essex, Hampshir, &c., were
good. The Lamb trade was somewhat active, at fully last
week's quotations, the best qualities being held at 6s per
Blbs. Calves, the supply of which was small, met a heavy
nquiry, at late rates. In Pigs we have very few sales to
report.

NEWGATE AND LEADENZIALL.
The past week's arrivals of country slaughtered Meat have
been on a full average scale for the time of year. With meat
killed in the metropolis we have been fairly supplied. Prime
Mutton and Lamb have commanded a steady inquiry at full
prices ; otherwise the trade has ruled extremery dull.
Several carcasses of foreign Beasts have been disposed of in
excellent condition.

The crime of murder is becoming as frequent in France as
in this country. The Court of Cassation rejected on Thurs-
day the appeals of four individuals capitally convicted
by as many different Courts of Assize—namely,
of Lachanelle, sentenced to death at Lons le Saul-
nier for the murder of a young woman ; of
Coste, convicted in the Ardeche of a similar crime ;
of Ducoudrav, condemned to death in Paris, for attempting
to kill his wife; and of a woman named Leclerc, sentenced at
Amiens for parricide. The appeal of another parricide,
named Lacome, was also under consideration on the same
day, but the Court adjourned without pronouncing upon it.
The Impartial du .clWd., of the 3d inst., states that the in-

that the Procureur du IZoi of Valenciennes had been obliged
to repair to the scene of riot with a body of Lancers.
