ZEUS DAYS MARKETS, CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat. The demand for most kinds ruled steady, and prices had an upward tendency. Fine barley, oats, and flour moved off freely, at extreme rates. Otherwise, the trade was inactive. Throughout the Continent wheat has sold slowly, but at very full prices. Spring corn and flour have met a dull inquiry. In the United States both wheat and flour have further given way in prices. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week was very moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 7,125 qrs. of wheat, 2,806 barley, 10,263 oats, 25 rye, 841 beans, 200 peas, 2,100 lineseed, 7,980 rapeseed, 143 sundry seeds, and 165 sacks of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up, to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were only moderate, and the show of samples was, consequently, comparatively small. As the general quality of new wheats was inferior, the finest sam ples were in fair request, at fully last week's currency, to is advance ; otherwise, the demand was in a sluggish state, on former terms. Most of the millers appear to be short of stock ; nevertheless, they evinced no disposition to purchase beyond immediate wants. The supply of foreign oats was very large. However, flue samples realised last Monday's currency. In other kinds an average business was doing at barely late rates. We had a dull inquiry for both beans and peas, and last week's prices were with difficulty supported. For flour there was a fair inquiry at fully last Monday's quotations. We were well supplied with most descriptions of foreign wheat. On the whole, there was a fair amount of business doing in most kinds, and prices were fully supported. Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were in demand at late rates. There was a good consumptive demand for fine barely at very full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off slowly on former terms. The malt trade was in a sluggish state, yet prices were well supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland, the arrivals of beasts fresh up were large ; but the general condition of the English breeds was very middling. A few very superior Scots, short horns, and crosses sold slowly at last Monday's quotations ; but all other breeds were dull in the extreme at a decline in value of 2d per 81bs. The supplies from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor thamptonshire amounted to about 2,700 short horns and crosses ; from other parts of England 800 of various breeds; from Scotland 70 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 700 oxen and heifers, mostly of prime quality. We were again well supplied with sheep, but the general quality of the supply was only middling. For all breeds there was a heavy demand at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. The top value of the best old Downs was 5s per 81bs. Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the veal trade ruled rather heavy at barely last week's cur rency. Prime small porkers moved off steadily at previous rates. Otherwise, the pork trade was heavy on former terms. s. d. s. d. Primecrs-Wool do. 4 2 4 4 Pme.

ILLEG4,L_ SALE OF SPIRITS, AND ASSAULT ON AN INSPECTOR.—CharIes Harvey, a coffee house-keeper, of 76, Castle• street, Leicester-square, and Elizabeth Harvey, his wife, were charged with selling spirits without a license. The female was further charged with assaulting Inspector Webb, of the C division. John Henley, of 83, Berwick-street, tailor, was also charged with obstructing the inspector in the execution cf his duty. Inspector Webb said—At half-past one, a.m., on Sunday, I went to the house, 76, Castle-street, known as the " Dust Hole," and outside the door I found a man stationed to give notice of the arrival of the police. I was, in plain clothes, and entered, and found in the shop about 30 persons —prostitutes, and others of the worst description. A portion of the shop was partitioned off, and on entering that place I found Harvey sitting at a table, and on his right there was a jar containing three quarts of gin, also a glass bottle containing some gin, and a " three out" glass which had contained some. Henley said something to Harvey, and a great scramble ensued, in the course of which the female seized up a glass of gin which had been poured out on my calling for it, and threw it in the fire, nearly setting the place on fire. Henley then obstructed me in my duty, hanging to my coat till I got a constable to remove him. The female as I was about to take Harvey, into custody said I should not take him, and I was about to have them removed when she became very violent, bit me, and kicked me. _ _ _ A solicitor for the defence said Harney would plead guilty, and the woman who was charged was not the wife of Harvey, but assisting—she was charged with assault. . . Mr. Beadon said the act she had been guilty of (biting) was greatly on the increase. She was liable to a penalty of £2OO, and he had no power to reduce it below £5O. Inspector W.bb said the house was frequented by the worst of characters—thieves and others. Mr. Beadon discharged Henley, and fined each of the others £5O. THAMES. A SCENE AT ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH.—SamueI Lawn, an elderly man, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being drunk and disorderly at the church of St. George-in the-East, Cannon-street. Rateliff Highway. Betto, a police constable, No. 229 K, stated that the pri soner was very drunk and noisy, and endeavouring to force his way into the church. The prisoner was removed by Mr. Lee, a constable and one of the officers of the vestry. Witness conveyed the prisoner into St. George's-street, and told him to go home. The prisoner returned a second time to the church and said ho would enter, and again made a noise. There was a number of idle and disorderly persons opposite the church laughing at the prisoner, who was again removed while he was uttering some incoherent eiclama• tions about Puseyism, Popery, and Protestantism. Ho then took the prisoner into custody. Mr. Selfe—What have you to say to this, prisoner ? The prisoner —Well, sir, the fact is that my son came to see me yesterday, and gave me a good deal of ale, and I wandered to St. George's Church. Mr. Selfe—There are noisy people who are sober at St. George's Church every Sunday—too many of them, in fact, and I am sure that noisy drunken men are not wanted there. Tour son had better leave off giving you ale on Sunday. As your son made you drunk yesterday, he must pay ss. for you. The prisoner—V ell, I suppose that is the best way of getting out of it. It's all owing to Puseyism. (A laugh.) The fine was paid. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Sept. 19.—Wind this day at noon, North- Westerly ; strong breeze, with fine weather now.

CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OF THE CREST, VICTORIA-PARK.—The number of patients relieved at this institution during last week was 926, of which 154 were new cases So much doubt and mystery attended the sale of this collection, in consequence of a majority of the purchases having been made " on commission," that it is really a matter of interest to know with cer tainty into whose hands these treasures have fallen. Gradually, since the termination of the sale, this information is supplying itself, and at present fur nishes the following results. Among the principal iurchasers were the Duc d'Aumale, will° secured several very choice examples, and among the rest the fine Perugino, " The Virgin and Child," for 350 guineas—the Dukes of Cleveland, Wel lington, Newcastle, Hamilton, and Buccleuch—who each, through their agents, bought a number of valuable works—the Marquis of Hertford, Baron de Rothschild, the Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Ellenborough, Lord de Lisle, Lord Lindsay, Lord de Saumarez, Sir T. Phillips, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Drax, Mr. Scott, Mr. J. E. Denison, Mr. Baring, Mr. B. Owen, Mr. Holford, Mr. H. Butler, Mr. Hargreaves, Mr. Hardy, and other noble and dis tinguished collectors. The most extensive pur chaser among the gentlemen alluded to above was Mr. Earle Drax, M.P., who is said to have bought upwards of 100 pictures, several of them choice examples of the masters whose names they bear. They include, among a host of others, Claude's " Apollo and the Cullman Sybil," 210 guineas ; Sacchi's " Ascension of the Virgin," 200 guineas ; Pinturecchio's " Nativity," 240 guineas; and A. del Sarto's " Charity," the figures life size, 210 guineas. Mr. J. Scott was the pur chaser of Lingelbach's " Departure for the Chase," 105 guineas ; B. Luini's " The Virgin gazing on the Infant Saviour," 200 guineas; " Girl with the Horn Book," by Schidone, 405 guineas; and the " St. John" of Carlo Dolci, for which he gave 2,010 guineas, the highest price of any picture in the sale. The nobleman who bought most freely was the Marquis of Hertford, and among his purchases are included Gonzales Coque's " Group of Family Portraits," 300 guineas; J. B. Weenie's "View in the Garden of a Chateau," 350 guineas ; Co negliano's " St. Catherine," 800 guineas; Giorgione's " Cupid Wounded by his own Arrow," 1,250 guineas ; Velasquez's " Boar Hunt," 310 guineas; and a number of others. The Mar quis of Lansdowne has acquired, for 700 guineas, Giorgione's " Musical Party," one of ;the most charming pictures in the collection, and a few others. Lord Northwick was also a large purchaser, and has secured upwards of 60 of the choicest paintings, comprising Maclise's " Robin Hood and his Fores ters," for 1,305 guineas; " The Stoning of St. Stephen," by Garofalo, 1,530 guineas ; Frost's " Diana and her Nymphs surprised by Actaeon," 675 guineas; Danby's " Wood Nymph chanting her Hymn to the Rising Sun," 360 guineas ; Redgrave's Flightinto Egypt," 350 guineas ; Van Sehendel's " Market Scene—Selling Poultry by Candle-light," 255 guineas; Rubens's large gallery picture of "The Lion Hunt," 300 guineas ; G. Dow's " Portrait of Dr. Harvey," 120 guineas; Velasquez's " Lot and his Daughters," 140 guineas ; and a number of others, including examples of Titian, Guido, Gior gione, Mabuse, Giotto, Vandyck, Fiesoli, Albano, and other famous masters, ancient and modern. Five pictures only were . purchased for the National Gallery, namely, G. de Treviso's " Virgin seatel on a Throne, holding the Infant Saviour," 450 guineas ; Giuilo Romano's " Birth of Jupiter," 875 guineas ; Moretto of Brescia's " Glorification of the Virgin," 550 guineas; G. Terburg's " Portrait of a Gentleman in Black," 65 guineas; and Masaccio's "Portrait of Himself," 103 guineas. BRITISH A.RCII2E')IOGICAL ASSOCIATION. NEWBURY, SATURDAY. After a hurried visit to the ruins of Reading Abbey and the Priory yesterday afternoon, Mr. Pettigrew and the other members of the Archwolo gical Association returned to this town and attended a soiree, which was given in the Mansion-house, in the evening. Mr. Pettigrew occupied the chair. Mr. Blundell, F.S.A., read a paper on the Battles of Newbury, the first of which took place on the 18th of September, 1843, Charles I, commanding the R,-)yalists in person, and the second in the year 1644. The Baroness Weld and other ladies con tributed to the musical portion of the entertain ments, and some local gentlemen exercised their vocal abilities for the gratification of the company, which was one of the largest and most fashionable during the congress. It was approaching midnight when the soiree terminated. By this morning the archmologists had diminished in number, and al the clerical members left the town for their parochial duties on Sunday. This led to an alteration in the programme of to•da's proceedings. The Vale of the While Horse was intended to be visited, but the journey was found too far and it was abandoned. The expedition was first to Wolford Church. The manor formerly be longed to the abbot and convent of Abingdon, but is now the property of Mr. Charles Eyre, of Wel ford-park. The church is of the Saxon style, and the stone stalls in the chancel are some of the most remarkable in the country. On the north wall is a handsome monument, with a sculptured woman in a dress of her time, kneeling at a desk, and this was an object of much interest to the archaeologists. The church at Little Shefford was also visited, and Mr. Planche read a paper on an alabaster monument, having on it the figure of a man in armour and a lady, without any inscrip tion or arms. At an early period the manor was in the family of Feltiplace, one of whom, Thomas, married Beatrice, an illegitimate daughter of John the King of Portugal, who had been successively the widow of the Earl of Arundel, Lord Talbot, and the Earl of Huntingdon. In the chancel is an ele gant gray marble tomb, against which are the effigies of John Feltiplace , hs wives, and children. From his mouth issues the inscription, "Deus misreatur nostri et benedicat nobis," and from that of the woman, " Illuminet vultum suum super nos." This prow d to be one of the most interesting places that has been visited. The excursionists returned to the town early in the evening. There was a fair sprinkle of gentlemen at the table d'hote at the Pelican Hotel, Speenhamland. Some speeches were delivered of a complementary character, and relating to archaeological researches, and the proceedings of the congress were brought o a close by a meeting in the Mansion-house. THE LATE 'OLLECTION. THE BUILDERS' STRIKE. There are symptoms of yielding on the part o. the master builders in the matter of " the declara tion." U . pto last night the Trades' Conference at the Paviors' Arms reported that seven different firms had withdrawn it—namely, those of Aldin, Kensington ; Jackson and Shaw, Westminster; Poole; Bevis; Foster, Temple ; Patrick and Sons, Westminster-road ; and Hall and Sons. Assuming the whole of these to belong to the Association of Master Builders—and the conference states that they do—they form but an inconsiderable propor tion of that body, who agreed to adhere to the de claration, and who number upwards of 220 in the aggregate. Still, the members of the conference regard it as a breach in the enemy's ranks, and it inspires them with an additional motive to perse vere in the struggle. All our inquiries go to show that by far the greater part of the men who were locked out on the 6th of August, or probably about 6,000. still hold eut, though daily opportunities have been afforded them of resuming work during the last week. On the first week of the lock-out about 12,000 men were thrown oat of employment. Nearly 7,000 of these participated in the dividend dispensed at the Pavior' Arms Mast Monday, and it is presumed that the other 5,000 have been during the last six weeks finding work in the country, or b e en gradually absorbed into the service of the im mense number of builders in the metropolis, who, not belonging to the Association of Master Builders, did not suspend their operations dur ing the lock-out. It is calculated that about 1,000 of the operatives on strike have found employment in one or other of those ways, with out being asked to accede t o the declaration instead of the last week , and these men, of being recepicnts, will henceforth be con tributors to the funds collected by the conference . at the Paviors' Arms in ai d of the men who are still left to maintain the st ru gg le. For that reason, Mr. Potter, the secretary to the confere n ce, expects to increase the dividen d to be p aid this day (Monday) from 3s. 6d., which was the sum paid last week, to 4s. a man. We apprehend it has never been gene rally understood by t he public that in addition to the small but now increasing pittancewhh the th e society men receiv e at the Paviors' Arms through the conference , a sum varying from ss. to Bs. a week , and occasionall y reaching 125., is paid to every one of them out of the funds of the socie ties to which they belong. Some of the carpenters, for instance, are allowed 12s. a week each from their society, which the dividend to be paid today will probably increase to 16s. With this aid, an d th r ough a variety of shifts, they continue to st rug l e on against what they conceive to be an attempt to enslave them ; and, encouraged by the continual manifestations of sympathy they receive from, not their own only, but almost all classes of working men in the country and the metropolis, the great bulk of them, so far from succumbing, evince a strong determination to keep up the fight, and it is said by those who know them w e ll as a body, that they can hold out for six or eight weeks longer. While the masters, pressed by the increasing neces sities of their position, are now some of them re sorting to the provin ces f or me n, the emissaries of the conference are beating about the country for money. Trade society meetings of the coopers, cabinetmakers, and plumbers, were, held in Glas gow, in the interest of the men on strike, on the evenings of Thursday and Friday; as was also a meeting of the Paisley cottonspinners, on Satur day, at which a delegate from London attended. The sums which the men employed in the building trades in London, and who were not among the lock-outs, contribute weekly in support of their brethren on strike, are paid with remarkable punc tuality and cheerfulness, and the money received from the provinces, and which goes to augment the common stock, is to a great extent made up of weekly contributions, and promised to be continued during the struggle, and not simply of donations. TILE ZOUAVE AND THE LADE On Saturday, at Worship-street Police-court, Daniel Joseph Benholiel, residing in Bandon-road, Victoria-park, Hackney, attended to answer a sum mons obtained against him by Mrs. Maria Jones, a widow, of Brunswick-street, Hackney-road, to show cause wby he should not be adjudged the father of her child, born on the 4th of July this present year. The defendant who has frequently figured at this court in a splendid Zouave costume, when seeking advice in matters of refractory tenants, was, during the Crimean war, interpreter to the French Marshal Pelissier ; and on his return to England, about three or four years since, met with the complainant, at the house of her aunt, in York-place, Vauxhall road—hence the formation of an acquaintance alleged to have -resulted in closer intimacy. Mr. Vann, for the lady, stated the ease, and her examination elicited the following statement from her :—The gentleman who is laughing (the defen dant) is the papa of my child, and he cannot deny it ; he can't look at me. After seeing him at my aunt's, when he came from abroad, I did not meet him until about sixteen months since ; it was in the sweet spring time. On the 4th of October last I went by a card of invitation to his house in the Mile-end-road. He has moved since that time. He had another residence at Wandsworth, but I did not go there. After staying the evening with him, he and his man-servant accompanied me home to my sister's, but it was late, and w could not get in. He said that if I would return with him he would protect me like a brother. I did return ;he slept in a hammock, as is his custom, I believe, and I rested on the sofa. I don't know whether the hammock broke, but he disturbed me three times during the night. • Witness here swore to the intimacy, and added that she subsequently told defendant her situation, who promised to see her through it. Charlotte Haynes deposed that she had made de fendant acquainted with the " accident" that had occurred to Mrs. Jones, and that he had given her two shillings for that person ; but this witness ad mitted that no conversation ensued in which de fendant was mentioned as the father of the child. Mr. Beard then cross-examined the complainant —You have sworn that you are a widow, and your name is Jones. Is it so ? Complainant, hesitating—Well, I never was mar ried. I have a son by a person named Jones, since dead. Mr. Beard—Did you ever have intimacy with defendant's man cook ? Complainant—With his cook ? No more than with you. Mr. Beard—Did you never ask that cook to swear the child was not his, but his master's, giving, as a reason, that Mr. Benholiel was a rich'man, and that the property would probably pass to that child ? Witness—Never. I know that the cook has left that service. My right name is Maria Levy. When the defendant disturbed me as described, he said, " Maria, my hammock has broken down." Ho begged me not to make an alarm, as it would dis turb his tenants. The cook was in the house at that time, bet he did not understand English; therefore, he would not have understood any alarm liad I made it. - Mr. Beard—Sir, I must denounce this proceed ing as an infamous conspiracy to effect the purpose I have intimated. My client has been at the ex pense of sending for the servantman, the cook, from France ; and, if it be necessary, I will show by him that the intimacy was with him—with the man, and not with the mrster, although manifestly she preferred, for purposes that must be seen through, the master to be considcree. amenable. Defendant was then sworn, and emphatically de nied any intimacy with the self-styled widow. The magistrate observed that he did not credit the oath of the complainant, and dismissed the summons without hearing the cook. GREAT FIRE IN THE CITY. The most extensive fire which has occurred within the City boundariies for some years past broke out on Saturday morning at a few minutes before eight o'clock in Ivy-lane, Paternoster-row. The fire commenced in a large double house num bered 3 and 4 in the first-named lane, which was five floors high, probably fifty feet wide, and ex tending to the rear of the houses in Lovell s court and Paternoster-row. The ground floor of this building was termed the Literary Coffee and Reading-rooms ; the first floor was occupied by. Mr. W. H. Hutchinson's lace and muslin ware houses ; the third and fourth floors were in the tenure of Messrs. Reed and Pardon, printers. The moment the unwelcome discovery was made an alarm was sounded, when a scene of indescriba ble confusion ensued, for it being market morning every approach to the fire and the whole of the lane became crowded with butchers. In the course of a few minutes Mr. Superintendent Braidwood and Mr. Colf, the firemen of the B district, and en gineers Swanton, Fleming, and various other officers attended with nearly a dozen of the powerful bri gade engines. The warehouses of Mr. Hutchinson, with the costly stock in trade, were in a general sheet of flame, and then the printing offices of Messrs. Reed and Pardon were encircled. Engineer Swanton at great trouble succeeded in drawing a plug, and one or two engines were set 0 work, but the supply of water was found too limited to have any effect upon the violence of the destroying ele ment, and before a better supply could be ob tained the flames continued their ravages, seizing in rapid succession upon the premises of Messrs. Edmonds and Remnant, the well-known book binders, and forming four houses, from 8 to 12, in Lovell's-court. The flames next laid hold of the premises belonging to Mr. Kent, bookseller, No. 21, Paternoster-row. Every one then present looked with amazement at the fearful scene, as the whole of the row and lane appeared doomed to be levelled with the ground, more especially as the flames had communicated to the premises of Mr.- Virtue, the extensive publisher, No. 26, Ivy-lane. The firemen at length having obtained a good supply of water, went to work in their usual intrepid manner by en tering the burning premises, and by so doing several nearly lost their lives, for whilst they were stand ing in the coffee-house projecting the a titer fur nished by the engines, the whole of the heavy presses standing in the third and fourth floors fell through with a noise resembling a clap of thunder. The firemen next directed the water from the engines upon the premises of Messrs. Virtue, Fisher, and Co., and Edmonds and Remnant, the latter firm having already the first and second floor windows burnt out ; and some thousand gallons of water falling amongst the costly printed goods, it is hardly necessary to say that the damage done to this property alone must be of great extent. Fortunately, the loss will be partially covered by an insurance in the Pho3nix Fire office. The firemen, by unremitting exertion, suc ceeded in getting the fire out, or nearly so, by noon ; but it is impossible at present to give a correct estimate of the damage done, as the proprietor of the coffee-house did not sleep on the premises, and he has not been seen since the out break. Mr. Hutchinson's premises are entirely consumed as well as the stock; he was insured in the Globe. Messrs. Reed and Pardon's premises are burned out, but they are insured in the Gene ral Fire-: ffice. Messrs. Virtue's premises are gre atly damaged by water ; insurance no t known. The back warehouses of Mr . Ken t are likewise damaged very much by fire an d water , as well as the counting-house ; insured in the Sun-office. Several of the other contiguous buildings have also sustaini'd serious damage by o rigin of the catastrophe is atfiprreesaeundt w en a v te e r lo . pe T d h in e mystery, but one thing seems quite certain—that the fire began in the kitchen ofthe coffee-house. p r i se om N n ANN UI T Y -TAT .—O n the AN r day T: ig E ht E m D r lN .

Such has been the inevitable result of all the income-tax impri sonments undergone by would-be sufferers for conscience' sake—some less scrupulous friends invariably intervening ere lon and satisfying the collector's demands. During Mr. Brown's g brief imprisonment, he has employed his time in the preparation of a brochure entitled a dialogue be tween "Dead Brown and Living Brown." the first .named sharer in the colloquy being the shade of a very estimable and able voluntary clergyman lately deceased, Dr. John Brown w h ose horror of the tax was such that 481 offered his goo ds' to seizure on various occasions rather than pay, and finally removed to a suburb of the town to be out of reach of the impost. It is said that the late prisoner's health, which was very delicate before bis incarceration, has become so impaired by the excitement and confinement as to necessitate his removal to the Bridge of Allan.
