COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Apil 21.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IX RE JOHN CONNOR.

This insolvent, who had been in the green-grocery and
coal trade, in the Edgware-read, came up this morning for
his final order. He was opposed by Mr. Walsh, on behalf of
the creditors on the ground that several articles had either
not been given up to the official assignee, or not set forth in
the schedule. The articles referred to were a pony and small
cart, a large van, and two account-books. Objection was
also taken to an entry in the schedule, which described a
large cart to have been sold i❑ December, whereas it had not
been sold until after the petition was filed. The large van
was represented to have been pledged with a Mr. Pargiter. is
Lambeth, for 301., but on inquiry no such person could be
found.

A witness was called to prove that a large cart, answering
to the one described in the schedule, was in the possession of
'the insolvent in February last.

The insolvent (who was examined by Mr. LEwts) said
that the pony and cart had been taken away by his son at
Greenwich fair, and he had not heard of him since. With
respect to the large van, he did not know the number of the
str:et where Mr. Pargiter lived, but he had no doubt he
could take any messenger from the official assignee to the
party, and establish the fact. He was also willing to deliver
up the books required, though he did not think they were
of any consequence. The large cart alleged to have been
seen in the possession of the insolvent in February was a
borrowed mit', somewhat like the one sold in the December,
and hence the supposition that it was the same one.
Mr. WALSH called upon his Honour to adjourn the case
sine de, as he considered the explanation altogether unsatis-
factory. He did not dispute the fact that the large von
had been pawned for a sum of money, but he entertained the
opinion that it was made away surreptitiously after the party
was insolvent, to the injury ‘.,f the creditors.
His HONOUR, who was at first disposed to adjourn the case
sine die, said he would give the insolvent another chance,
and would fix the sth of May for another examination, to
be at the expense of insolvent, and if the insolvent did not
on that occasion give a better explanation of the matters re-
ferred to, he should most certainly dismiss him without his
final order.

Mr. Walsh was instructed to give Mr. Lewis notice of
what the insolvent would then be required to prove.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
SoUTHiI ARK.

Robert Braley, a well. dressed man, blind of an eye, was
charged with entering a room in the Masons' Arms, Horse
monger lane, and stealing several articles.
Mr. Spence, the landlord of the above house, stated that
on Saturday night, one of the servants having occasion to go
up stairs, saw the prisoner in one of the bed rooms. Though
alarmed at the circumstance, she did not make any outcry on
seeing a stranger there, under the dread of his making an at-
tack on her. She, however, descended with all baste, and hav-
ing informed her master of the circumstance, he immediately
went up, and, on entering the room, saw the prisoner sitting
on the side of the bed. He had a bundle by his side, con
taing various articles of dres., which he bad taken out of a
box in the room. He assumed to be intoxicated.

The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that he had no
remembrance of what had happened, being so drunk; that he
was a coachmaker by trade, and, work being very slack
in Glasgow, to which place he belonged, he came up to
London, and, having met with some of his townsmen, they
gave him so much drink that he did not know what he was
about, and could not account for his being found in the situa-
tion described.

Mr. TRAILL said that the prisoner gave such•A very un-
satisfactory account of his proceedings, that he should re-
maid him until Friday.

MARKET NE WS. (YESTERDA Y.)
CORN EXCRAGNPI -
As is almost invariably the case at this period of the year,
the arrivals of English Wheat up to our market during the
past week has been on a very moderate scale, yet the various
parcels have come to hand in good saleable condition. Of
English Barley, Malt, Beans, Peas, and Flour, the receipts
have been small, but the aggregate supply of Oats has
amounted to 50,000 quarters. Fresh up, only a limited
quantity of Wheat of home produce came to band from
Essex, lent, Lincolnshire, and Cambridgeshire; hence the.
show of samples of that description of Grain was small. The
attendance of both town and country dealers being
tolerably good, the finest qualities commanded a ready
sale, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Mon-
day last. In all other kinds, a fair amount of business
was. transacted at late rates, and a clearance was effected.
From the whole of our grain districts our accounts relative
to the young wheat plants are very favourable. The supply
of fine foreign Wheat brought forward was comparatively
small. Selected parcels were in fair request, and last week's
prices were readily supported. All other kinds were in slow
reqUest. Bonded grain was heavy. Owing to the large
imports of Barley the sale for that article was extremely
inactive, at a further depression in the quotations of Is per
quarter. Malt, the supply of which was small, moved off
slowly, yet we can notice no alteration in value. Notwith-
standing the large display of Oat samples it good business was
doing, at prices about equal to those paid on t his day se'llnigltt.
Beans and Peas, owing to their scarcity, realized a trifle more
money. The Flour trade was dull, yet the millers were imm.

In the past week three steamers have arrived in the port
Of London, direct from Rotterdam, with live stock for our
market—the Batavier bringing 47, the Giraffe 10, anti the
Columbine 8 Oxen and Cows, or a total of 65 head. Respect-
ing the quality of the above importations, we may observe
that it has proved extremely good; indeed finer beasts have
not been received under the new tariff, for sale here than
those which have reached us since this day se'nnight. The
average weight of these animals has been about 116 stones
(81b). The number on offer did not exceed 17, the otter
imports finding purchasers on Friday last, while they
commanded a steady demand, at full prices. We doubt
not that every precaution is exercised at the Cuts om-
house to prevent the landing of diseased animals ;
still, we are fully convinced that some of the Dutch beasts—
which were very badly on their feet—here this morniniVere
suffering from the efftcts of the so-long-complained-of epi-
demic. As to those from our own districts, we ought to ob-
serve that large numbers of them were thus affected. Al-
though the supply of Beasts from our own counties was, tbe
time of year considered, very moderate, and of middling
quality, compared with that brought forward on some pre-
vious market days, the Beef trade (owing principally :to
the dead markets being rather heavily supplied) was by
no means so active as many hers ns were led to expect.
Still, however, the primest Scots were in good request, at
fully last week's enhanced currencies, they moving off at from
4s to 4s 2d per 81bs ; but all other breeds hung heavily on
hand, and some difficulty was experienced in effecting a
clearance at late rates. 'the arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, embraced 1,900 Scots and
Homebreds ; while, front the Northern counties, we
received 30 Shert Horns, &c. ; from the Western; and
Midland districts, 350 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ;
from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds;
and, from Scotland, 180 horned and polled Scots.
Nearly 400 store beasts have come to hand from Scotland in
the week just concluded; but the number here to-day was
small, though, in consequence of the shortness of grass, more
than adequate to meet the wants of the few dealers in at-
tendance. Prices rule very low. The numbers of Sheep were
rather limited, yet the Mutton trade was in a sluggish state,
at prices barely equal to those paid on Monday last, yet the
best old Down in the wool were taken at front
4s 4d to 4s 8d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight
170 Lambs were received by the Southampton Rail-
way; while, from other parts, the receipts were moderately
extensive. Prime Down Lambs sold steadily at from 58 to
6s ; but other kinds were a dull sale, at barely stationary
prices. The supply of Calves was rather limited, yet the
Veal trade was dull, at Friday's depression of 2d per 81b.
From Ireland we received 120 Pigs, the demand for which,
as well as English breeds, was heavy, at barely late rates.

The arrival of slaughtered Meat from Scotland, as well as
from various distant parts of England (as will be seen by the
an exed tabular statement) during the past week have been
seasonably extensive, and of fair average quality ; while
with meat killed in the metropolis we have been but mode-
rately supplied. On the whole the general demand was
by no means so active as was that on this day se'nnight ;
nevertheless prime Beef, Mutton, and Lamb were in steady
request at full prices ; but otherwise the trade ruled dull,
and previous rates were with difficulty supported. Nearly
400 carcases of Lamb have come to hand from Hampshire,
Essex, &c., and sold at from 4s 10d to 5s 6d per Slbs ; while
ten carcases of foreign Beasts, in good quality, have produced
from 3s to 3s 9d per Blbs.

For all kinds of Hops the demand since our last report
has ruled somewhat inactive, but in prices we have no ma-

Tne arrivals of Potatoes at the water-side continue large,
especially from the northern districts ; owing to which the
trade rules extremely dull, and the inferior parcels may be
purchased on easier terms.
WOOL ATAXIC:ET.
The imports of Wool in the port of London during the
past week have been on a somewhat extensive scale, they
having consisted of 320 bales from the Cape, 250 ditto from
Bombay, 120 ditto from Hamburgh, 15 ditto from Moga-
dore, 135 ditto from Seville, 120 ditto from Gibraltar, 761
ditto from Sydney, and 400 ditto from various other quarters.
No public sales are appointed, yet the demand by private
contract is somewhat inactive at about previous currencies.
