DETECTION AND SPEEDY JUSTICE.—AS
Sore the second police-court was drawing

to a close, yesterday, Inspector Horne brought a young
man, named Henry Smith, before the sitting magistrate,
charged with picking the pocket of a lady in Bold-street.
The prosecutrix, a respectable-looking person, who gave
her name as Hannah Headley, said that about one o'clock
she and her husband were looking at some portraits in a
shop window in Bold-street, when the prisoner put his
hand into her pocket, and snatching out her purse, which
contained £6 2a. 6d., ran away with it. Her husband
pursued the prisoner, and never lost sight of him till he
secured him; but no money was found upon him. A. very

The reports from the corn markets in all parts
of the kingdom concur in showing a general
decline of prices, owing to the prospect of a most
abundant harvest, and the continuance of very
favourable weather for the ripening of the crops.
Indeed, there is hardly a second opinion as to
there being a very bountiful supply of home-grown
food, in addition to abundance elsewhere, as the
harvest throughout Europe, particularly in the
South, is one of the most favourable ever remem-
bered. There has, however, been a good demand
for flour for immediate consumption, owing to
retailers being destitute of stock, in anticipation

vices, but wheat is almost unsaleable
vithout a very great reduction, and the promise
of a very large crop of potatoes, which have been
most extensively cultivated this season, and at
present look very healthy, will also have the effect
of depressing the value of breadstuffs. A failure
has been reported at Cork, though only to the
amount of £lO,OOO ; but we have not heard of any
serious default, end indulge the hope that the
decline may prove less disastrous than is sometimes
the case in similar circumstances. Those who
remember the state of the corn trade in the be-
ginning of 1829, after the great speculation at the
close of the previous year, and again in 1847, after
the rush induced by the first experiment of free
trade, may naturally entertain some apprehension
at the present time, were it not that the crisis has
been too long foreseen not to admit of something
like preparation.

The general character of our Sniag MARKET
during the week has been steadiness. :It . opened
rather flat on Wednesday last, and prices- were
quoted lower, excepting -for Leeds stock, which.
fully maintained its previously quoted prices. This
decline, however, was trifling and very. transient.
On Thursday, the market, though very inactive,
was most firm, and since then there has been.
daily an increasing disposition to do business, and
a gradual steady advance in prices. The tone of
the market is also good, and with the_ prospects of
the harvest, and also of a more easy money market,
we may look for a continuance. of the rise, and
more business. The Royal Insurance meeting
takes place on Thursday, when a most satisfactory
statement of the position of this company will be
laid before the shareholders and a dividend declared.

WooL.:---The improved feeling in the Wool mail
ket noted in our report last week has become more
manifest during the past few days, and prices are
now beginning to look up ; the favourable weather
which we have experienced during the last fort-
night has established a firmer tone in the market.
At the public sales which took place here on the
26th, 27th, and 28th ult., 5,856 bales were offered
for public competition, viz., 4,961 East India, 141
Egyptian, 136 Portugal, 149 Peru, 227 Mogadore
and Bombay, and 242 Italian, Turkey, Zegai, &c.
Very little but East India being announced, the
attendance consisted chiefly of buyers of that class,
which was nearly all sold at very little difference
from the ruling rates of last sales in June ; the
holders of I

Egyptian, Portugal, Mogadore, &c.,
being alive to any little improvement, did not seem
inclined to sacrifice at the low rates ruling, and
the greater part was withdrawn; but the latter
class of Egyptian has since found buyers at im-
proved rates. The public sales of Australian, &c.,
in London are proceeding favotTably, at an average
advance of 1 to 14 on the previous sales held there.
The demand for English and Irish still continues
very good, and prices are censiderably firmer.
