CQW EXCHANGE.  There was n4ori firmness in tlt dP;mand for wheat in mon "of the country markets on Saturday, and the quotations had an upward t'.;odency. Barley was held at full prices, whilst rvs :ue of oats and flour was well supPer'ced. AU other 'articles wcr3 very dull. Our advice° irore4he continental ports state that a very limited business is doing in grain on English account. From New York we kayo recciired very high rates for both wheat and flour.  This morning, at 8 o'clock, the erlignal Emanuel Barthelemy, the murderer of Mr. Moore Id Mr. Collard, underwent the extreme penalty of theilw upon the pubic scaffold, in tlhe Old Bailey,' for the munier of the exconstable Charles Collard, of which offence he was convicted before Lord Chief Justice Campbell at the last sittings-401e Central Criminal Court. . r Thefe was nothing in the preparations outside the jail for the execution differing froinc4he arrangements upon previous occasions, save th;!t"pore than ordinary precaution was taken in the erection of the barricades with strength to bear an extra amount of pressure, as a very large crowd was expected, and, as it subsequently turned out, this was highly necessary, for, notwithstanding the extremely inclement state of the weather, and that it continued snowing fast far some time before and after the execution, the whole area of the Old Bailey, and from every point where a glimpse could be caught of the scaffold, the crowd was extremely dense. With the evception of some well-dressed foreigners, the mob was, in general, one of the very lowest ever congregated ; and a very great many women who were there took a prominent part in the obscene jesting and larking with scow-balls and otherwise, which was carried on previous to the miserable man making his appearance upon the scaffold, and during the hour that his lifeless corpse hung before them. So much for the moral example of an execution. A more than usual number of the police were present, and it having; been rumoured that an attempt would be made by some of the convict's associates to shoot him whilst upon the scaffold, the foreigners alluded to, who took up a prominent position near the gibbet were placed under the more immediate surveillance of a large body of constables, who kept them as far back as possible, and took up their position between them and the convict when he came out.  i:6 - -7 o.  ••• ...'  5i - 64  Up to our market last weak the receipts of English grain were moderate. From abroad the supplies amounted to 11,616 quarters:of wheat, 23,052 oats, 81 beans,!l,3os peas, 1,193 tares, 3,286 linseed, 56 mustard seed, 130 sundry seeds, 2,246 sacks and 1,071 barrels of flour. Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of English ern wheat, coastwise, and by land carriage, were on a very moderate scale. Consequently, as a good clearance of the stands was effected on Friday last, the show of samples was small. Although the attendance of buyers was by no means numerous, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was steady, at an advance in the prices obtained on Monday last of from 2s to 4s per quarter. The general quality of the supply was by no means first-rate. The show of wheat was moderate. Nearly all kinds sold somewhat fully, and the currencies ruled from 2s to 3s per gum '6er higher than on this day se'nnight. gOting cargoes of grain wore held on higher terms. We were well supplied with English barley, the sale for which ruled steady, at is per qr. more money. There was very little inquiry for malt, on former terms. Oats—the supply of which was large—sold ;slowly, but we have no change to potice in their value. The demand for beans Ninii rather dull, at last week's el currency.  - r 12j - 13  • • • "." -''  53 - 62  114 - la  109 - 111 100 - 102  6 -- 6A 93 -- 55 88 -- £0 90 -- 91 101 154 164 9i 14 71 -- 73 91 18i -- -9a 131 9 131 -- 141 lt -- id 135 137  In the value of beans no change took place.
