LONDON CORN EXCHANGE.
LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MONDAY.—There was only a moderate show of wheat at this morning's market, and there was decidedly less inclination to buy. Factors commenced by asking former prices, and a few picked lots were placed at terms nearly equal to those current on Monday last; but before the commoner sorts could be disposed of, a decline of fully Is. per qr. had to be submitted to. English barley was by no means plentiful, and superior samples sold at terms similar to those current on this day se'nnight. Malt was difficult of disposal, and barely sold so well as on this day week. There were not many parcels of oats fresh up coastwise or from Ireland. Beans were held pretty firmly, at late rates and peas, though very dull of sale, were not lower than on Monday last. The inquiry for floating car- goes of Indian corn has again subsided, and we heard of no sales to-day. WH<:AT— S. S.

Nearly 12,000 quarters of foreign wheat have arrived since Saturday. That article was dull in the exlveme, and the middling and inferior kinds were Is. per quarter lower to purchase. Barlev was in moderate request, at previous rates; but malt commanded scarcely any attention. Very few English oats were in the market; but the supply of foreign was immense the arrivals this week having exceeded 36,000 quarters. All kinds ruled dull, at barely stationary prices. Beans, peas, and Indian corn were very dull. Low qualities of flour were again cheaper.
LIVERPOOL.
LIVERPOOL. TUESDAY.—A moderate business was transacted in wheat at a decline on last Tuesday's rates of fully 2d. per bushel oh all descriptions. The finest Wolgast and Rostock wheat brought 6s., and Stralsund 5s. 9d. to 5s. IDd, per 701bs.; fine Dutch red sold at 5s. 6d., and good Polish 5s. per 701bs. French and Irish sack flour wero offering at Is. per sack reduction, but the best American barrels were not pressed. Fine mealing oats were not cheaper, but feeding sorts were done at 2s. to 2s. Id. per 45 lbs. Little doing in oatmeal. Beans were 6d. per quarter lower, and not many sold. English malting barley was less plentiful,' and quite as dear. Indian corn was in good request, and several parcels having arrived out of condition, were selling at irregular prices. More attention was paid to finest dry new and old corn at full prices.
SMITHFIELD.
SMITHFIELD. MOXDAY.—The supply of foreign stock on offer this morning was very moderate but the arrivals of home-fed beasts were again on n n -t the increase, and of full average quality. Owing, in some mea sure, to the prevailing warm weather, the beef trade ruled excessively heavy, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of quite 2d. per 81bs. For the time of year the numbers of sheep were large. All breeds commanded scarcely any attention, and prices gave way 2d. per SIbs. The lamb trade was dull in the extreme, and the currencies were 4d. per 81bs. lower than on this day se'nnip-ht. Notwithstanding that the supply of calves was limited, the veal trade ruled heavy at barely stationary prices. Bigs were very dull, at almost nominal figures.

ENGLISH BUTTER.—As there is a considerable increase |m the arrival of Dutch butter to-day, and the article in slow sale at 80s. per cwt., our price for Dorset is nominal, and to effect a clearance this week very much lower prices must be takcn.

NARBEBTII.
NARBEBTII. MR. DAVID EVANS, of the PRINCIPALITY Office, Cardiff, has been appointed by the Nonconformists of this place to represent them at the Triennial Conference of the Anti-State Church Asso- ciation. TRADE is very dull in this place resulting principally from the stoppage qf the principal iron and coal works in the neighbourhood. EXTRAORDINARY CALF.—On Tuesday last, no little excite- ment was created in this small town, by the announcement pu b- licly by the town crier, that Mr, John Griffiths, butcher of this place, had killed a cow, from which he had taken a calf, with two heads and bodies, two tails, and eight legs, which calf was to be shown to such of her Majesty's subjects who chose to see it, at the small charge of one penny, We need not add that all Narberth availed itself of this opportunity of inspecting so extraordinary a phenomenon.

After reading and prayer by-Theopliilud Griffiths, James Mat-k Child, Esq., of Begelly House. occupied the chair, and, in a speech full of wit and good humour, recom- mended the principles of abstinence.

At the, close several came forward and signed the pledge,

GLAMORGANSHIRE EASTER QUARTER…
la u's belonging to II. E. Evans, Esq., at about a mile from N 1, t',I. The proof of notices, &c., as required by the statute, "as given. Some discussion took place, because the spot was only 308 yards distant from the South Wales Railway. The petition was eventually granted, a petition in its favour having been presented, which had been signed by many of the rcsp c able inhabitants of Neath, who were of opinion that the place was unobjectionable. THE ABERDA11K STRIKE. The Court was occupied for several hours in hearing a case of appeal against a conviction by H. A. 3ruce and G. R. Morgan, Esqrs., of certain colliers, and colliers' wives, on a charge of having intimidated certain colliers with the view of preventing them returning to their work. Mr. Grove appeared for the appellarts attorney, Mr. Owen, of Monmouth. Mr. T. Allen supported the conviction attorney, Mr. James. The whole discussion turned upon technical points. Mr. Grcv 's first objection was, that the record did not set forth that the conviction was for a mitigated penalty. The next was, that tIziele was no seal of committing magistrates to the conviction. The latter objection occupied some hours in discussion. Mr. T. Allen answered that this was not a "material error, 1 lit one which may be amended by the Court. On tli's point the Chairman, Mr. Nrchol Csrne, an<LMr. Bruce were of opinion that the Court might amend—the error being a clerical error. Mr Meyrick dissented on the ground which had been argued by Mr. Grove. How were the magistrates to amend such a de- ficiency ? 1 r Allen suggested that the convicting magistrates (if in Court) should affix the seal, or that it might be done by the clerk of the peace, or chairman, as judges in the superior courts amended technical errors. During the progress of the case a warm altercation took place baiween the learned counsel, Mr. Grove, and H. A. Bruce, Esq., one of the convicting magistrates. In consequence of the warm interest taken by the latter gentleman, the learned counsel con- sidered that Mr Bruce's conduct partook more of the advocate than the magistrate. After a consultation, the Chairman said, that Mr. Carne and bmse' f differed as to the mode of amendment. Therefore the ion must be quashed, but the Court would be glad to grant a CJ si. In the case of Thomas Jones (undefended) it appeared that a seal had been affixed. This case was therefore proceeded with. r The prisoner was unable to speak English, or state his ground of appeal. Mr. Owen offered to retal11 Mr. Grove in this case, fciit the latter thought it would be irregular to be retained under the circumstances, as Mr. Owen said he had not been instructed 1))" the prisoner, but offered to pay the fee out of his own pocket, Hither than the defendant should fail for want of an advocate. After some hesitation Mr. Grove took the brief, and the case was proceeded with on the merits. William Williams, collier, was then called and said that, as he was going to his work to Yniscenvon, at the period of the strike, ha was met by a number of people, who made all manner of noises, beating of tin-kettles, &c. Witness said that this noise was made by parties in their own gardens and premises. He did not feel much annoyed at this neither did he complain to any one. lIe did not mention it until summoned before the magis- trates. Cross-examined I did not wish to bring on this case. This noise did not break my bones. No person interfered with me. I cared nothing about it. Re-examined by Mr. Allen I did not care whether they made the noises or not (laughter). Mr. Grove Do you intend going on with the case—this witness being the man who was so much annoyed ? Richard Williams proved that the prisoner was one of those who had joined in the strike. Cross-examined The strike took place in consequence of the masters reducing wages. P. C. Moore described the noises by which the prisoner and others annoyed the men going to their work. They made great noises with frying-pans, tin-plates, tin-kettles, plates, &c. Two »1->[1 were employed to give a signal to the others when the col- liers were coming. The conviction was confirmed. The criminal business was then proceeded with. William Lewis, a miner, aged 18, pleaded Guilty to stealing one fancy waistcoat, and one other waistcoat, the property of John Cohen, of Merthyr Tydfil.
