A liberal supply of English whe t, a 2,540 quarters, has come to hand, this week, coastwise but the receipts fresh up, to-day, by land carriage, were very moderate. A few samples left over from Monday were on offer, and the de mand for all kinds ruled heavy, at that day's decline in O. quotations. Over 13,000 quarters of foreign wheat have, arrived this week, and the supply was, consequently, on the increase. Even the finest parcels were very dull ; indeed, so little b u siness was transacted that prices were also nominal. Fine malting barley supported previous rates ; but low qualities were very dull, and the turn cheaper. Malt sold wholly in retail quantities, at barely Monday's currency. We were heavily supplied with foreign oats, which sold slowly, at 6d per quarter less money. Beans, peas, and flour were a slow sale, but not cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

SUGAR.—The demand for home consumption continues very limited, but for export there is a moderate inquiry for the inferior descriptions. Prices of all descripons are firm. In the refined mar ket there has been a fair inquiry for export and late rates are current. Pure goods for home consumption are in steady request and at about former values. COPFEE.—At public sale, Plantation Ceylon realised high rates. Other descriptions were well supported, and the market generally exceedingly firm. RicE.—There is very little alteration to report heavily, in the value of this article. The p and lower rates were in some instances current. RUM.--The demand for the common descriptions still continues active. Jamaica sold at 3s. 10d. and Leward Island at Is. Bd. to is. 9d. per proof gallon. FRUlT.—There has been only a moderate amount of business doing, and new fruit, owing to recent large arrivals, has slightly declined. SALTPETRE.—The market is steady at about previous quotations. TALLOW.--A very limited business has been done both for home use and on speculative account, and prices re main steady at about previous quotations. P.Y.C. on the spot is 49s 6d ; last three months, 498 to 49s 3d ; and spring delivery, 49s 3d to 49s 6d per cwt. SCENE IN A CHIJRCII.—On Sunday last a remark able scene occurred in the parochial church of Rivingtun. During the sermon the clergyman was annoyed by the con versation of two of his congregation, a man and his wife ; and having noticed it before, the rev. gentleman stopped , and addressing them said " I will thank you to cease talking in that pew." The effect of this rebuke was instantaneous — complete silence followed ; all eyes were directed to the per sons offending, and they evidently felt astounded at the rebuke thus publicly directed to them. The husband holds a public office in the parish, and the event has caused con siderable excitement in the neighbourhood.—Manchester L (Mardian 'HARE MARKET.---(THIS DAY).

The complainant stated that last evening shewas passing through Gower-street, when the prisoner, who was accom panied by another man, accosted her, and aged her to di rect him to Russell-square. She told him the proper way, and pointed towards the square. Immediately after she had done so, casting her eyes downward she saw the man in the act of drawing his hand from her pocket, with her purse in it. She took hold of him and called aloud for the police, but before a constable arrived he threw down the purse and with great violence broke from her hold and ran away. Having picked up the purse, she followed the pri soner, but he succeeded in getting away, is she thought, but in a few minutes afterwards he was brought back in the custody of a police-constable. She then charged him with the attempt at robbery, and he was taken to the station house. Police-constable E 119 said he took prisoner into custody near Torrington-place. He saw him running, and as two persons were advancing towards Gower-street, the prisoner dodged round them and then walked in the same direction, in the hope of making it appear he was not the party whom he saw running. The Magistrate said it was a very common practice for robberies to be committed in the manner described by the complainant. Mrs. Foley said she had her suspicions aroused from the first from the way in which the men looked at her. Mr. Henry said it was an impudent robbery, and he should commit the prisoner to prison for six months. WATCH ROBBERY.—Thomas Seeley, 21, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a watch, the property of Wm. Garrard. The complainant said, last evening at about nine o'clock, he was passing up Holborn-hill, and there being a mob col lected on the pavement, he was compelled to stop for a short time and then felt his coat pulled, and shortly after wards he saw his watch-guard hanging loosely from his waistcoat; the prisoner was standing next to him but walked off. A companion who was with the complainant advised him to follow the man and accuse him of the rob bery, on doing which he stoutly denied the charge, and made a violent endeavour to get away before the police arrived. He was however detained until the constable came up, when he was given into custody. The watch had not been found. Police constable 318 said he conveyed the prisoner to the station-house, where he gave his address. On proceeding to Parson's-court, Goswell-street, he found that he lived there, and the person of whom he inquired said, " 0 yes, he was here, and we know all about it." Mr. Henry—Did you ask her what she meant by tha observation ? Witness—l did not. Mr. Henry (to prisoner)—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—l plead guilty. I should not have done it bill my parents have gone into the country. Mr. Henry—Your parents I How old are you? Prisoner —Twenty-one. Mr. Henry—l think you ought to act independently of your parents at your age. I think you must be an expert thief. As you have pleaded guilty to the charge, I shall send you to prison for six months with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH - STREET. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.--James Golden and James Ford, the former a stableman, and the latter a porter, and both of whom have been, it is believed, convicted before, were charged with stealing a mat from the doorway of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, St. James's-street, of the value of 20s. The prisoners were seen at a very early hour on the previous morning by a constable to cross from St. James's street into Dover-street, with the mat in their possession, when he stopped them, and asked where they got it from ; but before receiving an answer, a person came up and said it was taken from the club-house. He then took them into custody. The hall porter at the club identified the mat and said its value was £l. Golden said he saw the mat lying at the door, and, as he did not see anyone belonging to it, he took it. Ford said he was drunk and knew nothing about it. Mr. Bingham said the account they had given of how they became possessed of it was very unsatisfactory, and committed them each for three months. "BOBBY WON'T CATCH DIE, On I"—James Woodley, a rough-looking young fellow, was charged with creating a disturbance and committing a savage assault on a constable named Bennett. Mr. Owen, of the Sun, Leicester-street, said the prisoner came into his house on the previous night, with a soldier, and called for some beer, soon after which his conduct be came very annoying, and he requested him to go, and as he would not he told him he should fetch a constable, when he began singing out in a most aggravating manner " Bobby won't catch me, oh I Bobby won't catch me, oh !" but a constable coming up, he did catch him and took him into custody. He wanted him to fight him. Bennett said he went to the place, and requested the pri soner to go, but he refused to do so, and immediately made a savage bite at his arm, biting through his sleeve and shirt, and inflicting a slight wound on his arm. He was very outrageous, and it took three constables to take him into custody. Mr. Bingham said, having acted like a wild beast in using his teeth, he must be treated like a wild beast, and locked up for 10 days. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF POISONING, AND PERSECU TION OF A WITNESS. —Mary Ann Hennegan, a squalid, miserable-looking woman, about 35 years of age, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with swallowing a large quantity of aquafortis, with intent to commit self destiuction. The prisoner, who was in a state of great suffering, was brought from Wapping Poor-house. It appeared that the prisoner was living at No. 4, Burton court, White-horse-street, Stepney, and that she was bound over to give evidence against three persons formerly living •in Burton-court, and who were committed from this court for committing a burglary and robbery of a serious character in the house of Mr. Harman, outfitter, in Emmett-street, Poplar, when property and foreign coins to the amount of £2O was carried away. Since the committal of the prison ers, their friends, who are ruffians and prostitutes of the lowest description, have persecuted the unfortunate woman in a scandalous manner, and repeatedly threatened to take her life and wash their hands in her blood. She has also been struck, and, through fear, was a prisoner in her own house for three days. To escape this unjust persecution she sent a girl, named Matilda Martin, to the shop of Mr. Goosey, chemist and druggist, near the World's-end public house, Stepney, for a pennyworth of aquafortis, and told the girl to state that it was required for the purpose of testing gold. Mr. Goosey sold the stuff to the girl, and the prisoner swallowed it, and would have perished but for the immediate arrival of Mr. Robinson, a surgeon, who was then attending a coroner's in quest a the board-room of Ratcliffe workhouse, close by. He ad ministered antidotes, and sent the wretched woman to Wapping workhouse, where she has been under medical treatment since Friday last, and has experienced the most horrible sufferings. George Pullen, 161 K, a police-constable, who has charge of the case of burglary, said the prisoner had complained to him of the threats and persecutions of the friends of the three persons committed for trial, and he had promised to protect her. The trial was postponed in consequence of the absence of the prisoner until the next session of the Central Criminal Court. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner was locked up on a charge of riot and assault since the com mittal of the three persons for burglary, for the pur pose of keeping her out of the way. He explained the affair to the magistrate, Mr. Selfe, and he discharged the prisoner. Mr. Yardley said the course of justice was not to be frus. trated by threatening and persecuting a witness. The pri Boner should, and must be protected, if 100 persons had threatened her. He directed the prisoner to leave the felon's dock and come into the witness-box. The poor woman staggered, rather than walked, to the witness-box, and mentioned the names of several persons who had threatened to wash their hands in her blood if she went to give evidence against the three prisoners in New gate. Pullen—The poor woman came to me and said she was afraid of being murdered. Mr. Yardley asked the prisoner why she took so horrid stuff as aquafortis ? The prisoner—Oh, my life was wretched, sir. been in horrible pain ever since. Mr. Yardley—Why, I wonder you are alive. I never heard of anything so shocking before. I wonder this horrid stuff, a sample of which I have in this phial, did not burn your inside out. Craven, a police-constable, 236 K, who took the prisoner into custody, said she had suffered very much. He was with her six hours on Saturday, constantly administering antidotes. Mr. Yardiey said the unfortunate woman must be pro tected from the threats of others, and protected from her self. He granted warrants against the persons who had threatened the prisoner, and directed that she should be taken back to Wapping poor-house and properly treated. He was sorry the poor creature had ever been removed from the workhouse. Inspector Griffin We have had police-constable con - stantly watching her since last Friday. The prisoner was then removed from the court. have THE CONFESSIONAL IN FRANCE.—The Court of Assizes of the Haut-Rhin, sitting at Colmar, has just tried by default the Abbe Blauck, superior of the Convent of St. Marc, near Gueberschwihr, for having, between the years 1853 and 1856, in several cases treated in a most disgraceful manner young girls under 15 years of age, of whom he was the confessor and spiritual director.

The following is the report of the Select Com mittee of the House of Commons appointed to in quire into the origin of the claim of Hanover to levy the Stade tolls, and to consider how far they are detrimental to the commerce of the United Kingdom :- 1. That the foundation of the claim of Hanover to levy the Stade toll was a treaty with Denmark in 1717 A.D., and a further treaty with Sweden in 1719, by which whatever right those countries possessed was transferred to the Elec tor of Hanover. 2. That the proportion of Stade toll to freight in British ships from Hull to Hamburg is, at the present time, on a bale of spun silk, 115 per cent. • on a bale of cotton goods, 142 per cent. ; and on a bale cent. yarn, 36 per cent. That the average annual amount of Stade tolls levied on cargoes under the British flag has risen from £3 10s. per 100 tons British in 1847 to £4 6s. 4d. in 1855. 3. That the increase on British tonnage' entering the port of Hamburg has been 102 per cent. since 1849, while the increase on Hamburg tonnage has been 248 per cent. since 1849 ; and the foreign tonnage, inclusive of British and Hamburg, entering the port of Hamburg, has, during the same period, increased 99 . per cent. 4. That the Stade toll is injurious to the trade and ship ping of the United 11: i ng dora. 5. That the tax is specially prejudicial to the part of our produce and trade which has to compete in foreign markets with similar articles not subject to the tax, and this is felt sensibly in the coal trade, and particularly in the export of the less valuable descriptions of coal. . 6. That goods, the property of Hamburg citizens, and carried in Hamburg ships, are exempt from the Stade toll, and British ships are thereby exposed to an unfair compe tition. 7. That the general trade to Hamburg, notwithstanding the discouragement occasioned by the tax, has more than doubled within the last ten years. 8. That the trade to Harburg, which is free from Stade toll, has risen in a still more striking ratio ' . that of Bremen (the Elsfleth toll on the Weser having ceased), and that of Stettin (the Sound dues having been abolished), have also increased in a very large proportion. 9. That the Stade toll differs from the Sound dues, inas much as the Sound dues were a tax charged not only upon articles of export but also on articles of general use im ported into the United Kingdom i but the Stade toll is levied on exports from, and not on imports into the United Kingdom. 10. That it does not appear that any service whatever is rendered by Hanover in return for the tax levied upon the commerce of Great Britain. 11. That if the treaty of 1844, by which the United Kingdom is bound for a limited period to assent to the pay ment of the Stade toll, were determined by notice pursuant to the terms thereof, bat little injury or inconvenience would arise to the trade of this country. 12. That it is expedient that notice should be given to terminate the treaty of 1844 with Hanover." The report was agreed to without any division. [ADVERTISEMENT.] SIGHT AND HEARING. SPEC, TA CLES.—POWERFUL TELESCOPES,—OPERA, RACE, AND PERSPECTIVE GLASSES..— Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, opticians, 39, Albermarle-Street, Piccadilly. Observe— opposite the York Hotel, W.—Opera, Race-course, Field, and general Out-door Day and Nig ht Perspective Glasses, very small, for the waistcoat pocket , e ach containin g 12 and 18 lenses, constructed of German glass. Will show dis tinctly a person to know them at two-and-a-half and three miles, and an object from eight to ten miles distant. Her Majesty's Coast Guards are making use of them as day and night glasses in preference to all others ; they are also pre ferred for deer -stalking by sportsmen, gentlemen, and gamekeepers.

All the above can be had of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers, and are secured by her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent. The Royal Exhibition, 1851. A valuable, newly inventea, very small, powerful Waistcoat-pocket Glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one and a half mile distant. They answer every purpose on thc, Race-course and at the Opera houses. Country scenery and ships are clearly seen at four to six miles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to sportsmen, gentlemen, game keepers, and tourists. Price 30s.—Spectaclo Lenses of the greatest transparent power. The great advantage derived from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons are enabled to employ their sight at the most minute occupation —can see with those lenses of a much leas magnifying power, and they do not require the frequent changes to the dangerous effects of further powerful assistance. Fergana can be suited at the most remote part of the world by send ing one of the glasses out of their spectacles in a letter, and stating the distance from the eyes they can read small print with it, and those who have not made use of spectacles by stating their age. Deafness.—New Discovery.—The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinarily powerful small newly-invented instrument for Deafness, entirely different from all others, surpasses anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, produced. Being of the same colour as the skin, is not perceptible. It enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public assemblies ; the unplea sant sensation of singing noises in ears is entirely re moved, and it affords all the assistance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe— opposite the York Hotel, W - TIGER HUNT IN NATAL.—A correspondent sends us the following account of " how they served the tiger : " —On Saturday last, at Magdenburg, the residence of the Rev. Joseph Jackson. a most exciting scene took place, which is worthy of notice in your local news. On the day in question, a number of 'wars came to the house of Mr. Jackson, in a state of great alarm and excitement, to giye thin formation of four tigers having been seen by them n e vicinity. Mr. E. Jackson, and a young Dutchman, who was there at the time, sallied forth in search of these formidable beasts of the forest. At last their eyes caught sight of one of them, perched high up in a tall yellow wood tree, in the bush adjoining the residence of Mr. Jackson. There he stood with his tail almost perpen dicular, eying his intended victims with more zeal than prudence. The shot was a splendid one, but more th a n ordinary courag e to take advantage of It young Jackson was not to be daunted ; but at the suggestion of his Dutch c om p anion he was prevailed on to relinquish the fisst fire to what he considered his more practised friend. Off went the gun, and down came the tiger, made ten times more ferocious by the wound he had received, which but slightly disabled him ; with fearful s peed he then made towards his opponents, his teeth gnashing with savage ferocity, and bellowing forth threaten ings of destruction on his enemies. At this moment three Kaffir dogs baited him with great pluck, until, with fatal aim, young Jackson laid him at his feet,. a trophy of his coolness and praiseworthy courage during the exciting scene. The tiger measured nine feet from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail. We hope young Jackson will get up a hunt, and be the means of exterminating the other three tigers. We hear that there is scarcely a farmer on the bush side who cannot relate of losses, either in foals or calves." —.Natal Witness, July 9 ree 'he ,ng ie ;ely but the [.1 3 .t Er olll all , ri84.1 igq*, LkCU orn, The e ) C. go • the .W.; ,for ed id- - -11er rest, OA [roil Lies - r ota Gen t row Wl' w ter ;and the I blie k d in lirce fW° eld• the Wn i t hat , 2,a : 13 to ~'
