LONDON SHARE MARKET.-YESTENDAY.

The share market is steady, with little bnsiness doing, as
this is settling-day in shares and foreign stocks. Caledonians,
27 ; North Staffords, 2/ dis. ; Great Northerns, 9k to 9 dis.
French shares are a shade firmer.

LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY,

Our market was liberally supplied with Wheat this morning
by land-carriage samples from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, and
the trade opened at an advance of is. to 2s. per qr. upon the
quotations of last Monday, but, the weather proving fine during
market hours, the demand slackened, and the quotations of
that day were with difficulty exceeded by Is. per qr. Foreign
Wheat was held firmly for a like increase in value, which was
not generally complied with, and previous quotations must be
repeated. Grinding Barley was in request, at 6d. to ls. beyond
the rates of this day se'imight. Oats were not a brisk sale, at
the advance quoted on Friday, of 6d. per qr. Beans and Peas
were each fully as dear as last week.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
The supply of Beasts is not quite so large—adequate, how-
ever, to the demand. Some of the choicest qualities are readily
sold, at fully late 'prices, and in a few instances at a small ad-
vance; but middling kinds met with a dull sale, at about late
rates. We are well supplied with Sheep, and, in consequence
of the depressed state of the dead markets, trade is worse for
them. Big Sheep are with difficulty disposed of at a reduction
of 2d. per Blbs. A little more inquiry for Lambs, but prices no
higher. Calve. sell slowly, at 2d. per 81bs. reduction. From
Holland and Germany there are 737 Beasts, 4,050 Sheep, and
263 Calves ; from Scotland 500 Beasts ; Leicestershire and
Northamptonshire, 1,460; and Lincolnshire and Cambridge-
shire, 600.

COMMITMENTS YESTERDAY BEFORE MR. RUSHTON.
—John Lewis, for breaking into a house in Elm Grove,
with intent to rob it, was sent to gaol for three months.
Thomas Williams, charged with stealing boots, (value
195.) from the shop of Mr. George Hill, in Byrom-street,
on Satuaday night, was sent for trial at the session. A.
woman named Rogers, was for a theft of some rough cot-
ton, committed to gaol for a month.
SHAMEFULLY DISLOYAL LANGUAGE REGARDING
THE 4UEEN.—At the Polic-court, yesterday, a young
man—whose name we did not learn--was placed at the
bar, he having been placed in custody on a charge of
highly disrespectful language, having reference to the
character of her Majesty, the precise verbiage of which we
shall not repeat. The prisoner, it appeared, had gone into
the house of Mr. Moss, publican, in Byrom-street, and
entered a room where a number of respectable parties were
enjoying themselves in conversation. He obtruded him-
self upon them, and said (in language unpolite) that her
Majesty was—what shall we call it ?—not a good and gen-
erous woman ; and that she had accused the late Lady
Hastings of being pregnant, &c. The company present
requested him to withdraw, which he refused to do, and as
he continued to annoy them, the landlord sent for an offi-
cer and had him apprehended. One of the witnesses, an
intelligent young man, said that the subject introduced by
the prisoner was quite foreign to the subject before the
company. The prisoner said that he was very sorry if he
had said anything that was wrong, and declared that he
really was at bottom as loyal a subject as any person pre-
sent. The young man who had before spoken said that
he had before heard the prisoner utterlanguage in the
same place, calculated to excite disaffection amongst igno-
rant hearers.—Mr. Rushton, asif aware'jhat such vul-
garity and rhodomontade could not affect her crown or
dignity, merely said that such language spoken of any fe-
male was unbecoming and unmanly ; and certainly much
more so if spoken with reference to the Queen, He
ordered the prisoner to be detained in custody..
