SURGERY.-in the Diu ham Chronicle there is an
account of the convict;on of John Weatherley and
Thomas Thompson, on a charge of opening the grave
in which the body of Elizabeth Hadley was interred.
in Sunderland Church-yard, and of carrying away the
body. Mr. Weatherley, it a nears, is a surgecn of
seven years standing, and Mr. Thompson had been a
medical student with him at Edinburgh. When the
Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, Mr. Weatherley read
lan address in mitigation of punishment, which displayed
considerable ability. He cmiteticled for the necessity of
the act of which they had been convizted as being of
the greatest importance in the study of practical ana-
tomy ; and declared that his fellow-rrisoner and he
were not actuated by any sordid motive, bra: !olely
from a desire to afford facilities to the student, and
thereby render an important service to the community.
-They were sentenced to imprisonment and hard 1..
bour for three months.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, FEB. 9.
Last week the arrivals of all sorts of Grain, except Oats, were
good ; and this meriting there is a good additional supply of Wheat,
Barley, and Beans, front Essex, Kent, and Suffolk. The quantity
of Oats here at present; is only moderate.' The AlLiers, apparently
with one consent, declined to purchase Wheat this morning, and it
was some time be:ore sales of any consequence could be made.
The trade is, therefore, reported 3s. to 43. per quarter cheaper than
this day se'imight, at which reduction several extensive purchases
were made. Barley is now so plentiful as to have reduced the
value of this article 2s. to 3s. per quarter since last Monday, with
a very heavy trade. Beans are Isclined Is. per quarter. Grey
Peas are is. per quarter lower. Boiling and White Peas are not
plentiful, and they are held at about the same prices as last Mon-
day. Although the consumption of Oats now is larger, and the
supply only moderate, yet the buyers have purchased so few to-day,
that the prices declined Is. to 2s. per quarter from the terms•of let
Monday. Flour is unaltered.

There was a fair supply of Oxen this morning at market, hut
not quite so great as on former Monday's, and the prier is as high
as on this day se'nnight. In Sheep the market was rather short,
which also maintain their price. There appeared a brisk trade in the
earlier part of the morning. Veal is scarce, and very dear.
