LONDON CORN EXCHAN3R.---yger”owy...

At this day's market we had a moderate supply of English
Wheat, which met a brisk sale at fully, and in some cases Is.
per quarter over, the currency of this day week.
There was more inquiry for free foreign, with a firmer aspect
than for some time past. Bonded in good request for France.
Fine chevalier Barley is quite as dear, but the large arrival of
Foreign has depressed the value of other sorts is. per quarter.
White Peas 2s ; Beans is lower ; Malt without alteration.
We continue to receive liberal arrivals of Foreign Oats, but
sparingly supplied with English and Irish. Foreign met a
more steady sale at 6d. per qr. under the rates of Monday last,
but Irish still most difficult of disposal, although offered at a
like reduction.
s 41THFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YE,TICRDAT

From our own grazing districts the bullock droves were
seasonably large, but of very middling quality. The primest
beasts commanded a very steady sale ut, in some instances, a
trifle more money, the best Scots readily producing 45. 2d. per
81b. ; but all other breeds were very dull, and the turn lower.
The arrivals from the north comprised 1900 slu.rt horns,
from the western and the midland counties 800 Herefords,
runts, Devons, &c.; and from other parts of England, 1000 of
various breeds. _ .

Although the arrival of sheep were on the increase, the mut-
ton trade was very steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable be-
yond, last week's prices.
In calves a fa►r amount of business was transacted.

The pork trade was slow, yet prices were supported,

EXTRAORDINARY DELUsIONs.-0,. Thur-day, a com-
mission of lunacy was opened at the Manor House. Stoke
Newington, to inquire into the state of mind of Mr. Tho.
rnas Teague, aged 37, a wealthy tradesman of Birmingham.
The commission, which was unopposed, was taken out by
a friend, the unfortunate gentleman having no relations
who can at present be found. From the evidence it ap-
pear, d that Mr. Teague was a native of Wales, and that
he had been apprenticed to a painter, when he became
very penurious. He afterwards established himself in
business, and continuing penurious as well as industrious,
be became successful, and amassed property, the possession
of which seemed first to have impaired his mind, which
seemed to have mole decidedly given way on his inhe-
riting freehold property in Wales. It was in the month
of July last that his state of mind became apparent, and
his strange and incoherent conduct rendered it ne-
cessary that he should be placed under restraint, and
be was subsequently removed to Northumberland House,
where he laboured under the delusion that he was
Christ, and also that the Saviour was iu the room
with him, several hours at a time; that he was immensely
rich, possessed of millions, offering to advance: thou-
saiids to many persons; that Northumberland House
belonged to hint, fi,r which he was (as he said) paying
five hundred pounds a-year ; that he (himself) was
God Alusighty ; that be had killed somebody ; that
he was Bonaparte, aid Bonaparte's son ; that their at-
tendants were all Wellingtons, and that he turned into
devils of all shapes, being satarised, as he termed it, by a
large quantity of mercury, which had been given to him
by a coutory doctor, &c. As a further proof of the state
of his wind, he %NA^ ac..ustemed to +motet his person with
filth, and even to ma. it ith his food.- The unfortunate
gentlemen seemed totally unconscious of the object of the
proceedings.
