POACHING AFFRAY NEAR MACCLESFIELD. At about four o'clock on Monday morning • desperate encounter took place on the Siddingten four or five miles from Miosleitheld, between 12 es four gamineepen and nearly twice their number of poachers. On the previous night the keepers of Mr. J. B. Glem Withington Hall, having received information of a body of having been seen in the neighbourhood, mostendia ore and started off in pursuit. They traced the poaching peg to the estate of Mr. A. H. Davenport, Othertherth Hall, where they fell in with the keepers on that estate, Wawith those of the adjoining landowner, Mr. xes, Astle Hall The k amalgamthed their strength. and being suitably armed , continued their search. At about four o'clock they came twos two formidable setting nets in a field in the occupation of Mr.Jalin Wright, Siddingion. It wee pitch dark, and the keepers, unaware of the strength of their oppooesta, pounced upon them, but the two pap closed and com pelled the watchers to stand aloof. The latter sum moned their antagoaista to surrender, but the poachers responded with a volley of large stoma. A ne/ie then ensiled. In the darkness of the night and confusion the keepers were chary in striking through fear of bitting thew fellow-watchers ; but the pmehirs were leis cautious, and set upon each other, exchanging many bard blows before discovering their mistake. Though superior in number and weapons, they aside a general retreat, leaving four of their number wounded on the ground. These she keepers took into custody. A hare, a rabbit. and a quantity of netting and sticks were found upon them. The keepers escaped manellonely, many of the blows intended for them falling on the heeds of the unlucky poithers. The four captured men Joseph Wilson, Joseph C layton, Thomas Fitton, sad Robert Moss, were brought up at Macclesfield yesterday. They made no defame, but Moss and Wilson athe brutal ill urge they received at the hrnitrathe of keepers, 18 or 19 of whom (thez . tv anon ernt armed with spears several feet los& and don guns, cut and slashed right sad left. Wilson showed some ugly wounds on his head and face, and Mass had the back of hie hand severely cut, he said. with a spear. The jmtiCen sentenced the prisoners to three months' bard la bour each, and expressed an opinion that if the borough police officio' did their duty under the powers which the recent Poaching Act gave to them, the pm* prennes ie the neighbourhood of Macclesfield would be ley infested with midnight marauders. COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS. NA R[-LANE.—(THIS DAY. ) The arrival@ of English wheat [nub up to our market this morning were very limited, end the show of samples was chiefly composed of Monday's unsold supply, in bat middling condition. Very few buyers were in attendance, and the demand for both red and white qualities was in a sluggish state, at about stationery prim. Them was a fair average supply of foreign wheat on offer. Good sad dee qualities were in moderate request, at full carrencies ; otherwise, the trade was in a depressed state, end last week's prices were with difficulty supported. The ro▪ ta for II ag cargoes of grain o ff caul was mach re took ted. In the quotations, however, very little change place. There was a moderate inquiry for malting barley at late currencies. Grinding and distilling sorts were a dull sale, but not cheaper. Malt, the supply of which was good, moved off slowly, at shoed preview rates. Good sound oats were scene, and in request, on former terms. Other kinds commanded very little attention. The gu tte:a a : by "4"a". at about stati The ode for pees was heavy, at Monday's decline in value. We hare to report a dull male for English Sour, on former terms. Sweet American was warm, and quite as dear as last week. Caisary mad was steady in price, with a good demand. Clover seed was tolerably firm ; but other seeds were a dull inquiry. Cakes were held on former terms. The inquiry for them, however, was far from active. No market will be held here on Friday next. CI7IIJULNT PRICKS. iIteLDSH. Par Qr. WEIN. S. S.
