The trade for English wool has ruled very inactive since our last. The changes in prices, however, are by no means important, but they are wholly in an unfavourable direction. The transactions, indeed, both in long and clean qualities have been much restricted. On the other hand, the inquiry for colonial wool in the private contract market has somewhat increased, and the dealings, though by no means numerous, have been to a moderate extent at full currencies. Advices from Australia state that the quality and condition of the new clip are good, and fully equal to last season's produce. Last week's import was 150 bales from Boulogne.

In the first instance this case came before the Court under the 186th section of the Act of 1861, and now the learned counsel (who appeared for Mr. Sterne) applied under the 187th section for a confirmation of the previous order of the Court. Thore was no doubt that if the order were made it would prove to be beneficial to the interests of the great bulk of the creditors, who were satisfied that it would be carried out as proposed. His Honour—What is the security for the payment ? Mr. Bagley—There is no security absolutely Offered ; but I may say a few words to your Honour as to the debts. Now the total debts are £36,231, and of this sum the credi tors who have signed the deed represent £32,494. His Honour—Have the non-assenting creditors had notice ? Mr. Bagley—They have had all that prescribed by the act, and this can be proved under affidavit. Mr. Brough—l am counsel for a creditor for £2,150 who has signed the deed, and he raises no opposition to the deed. ' His Honour said that if he were satisfied as to the secu rity for the payment of 20s. in the pound by instalments, there would be no difficulty ; but in the absence of opposi tion he would grant the order as prayed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-S TREET. RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.--John Alfred Clay, a youg man, living at No. 4, Simester-stroet, Harrow-road, decorator, and Georgo Alfred German, a young man, described Port land-street, were ing snowballs in Kensington - gardens yesterday afternoon, charged before a draper, Mr. Tyrwhitt with throw- of No. 89, Great Port- to the common danger of the passengers. Henry Matthews, park constable, No. 24, said—Yester day I was called by several gentlemen who came from Ken sington-Gardens into Hyde-park, who said they had been snow-balled by the prisoners and others on going into the gardens. The defendants, with a number of others -500 or 600—pelted him and another keeper. We cau tioned the prisoners to desist, but they still con tinued to throw on the persons from the bridge— At last we got the assistance of some gentlemen, and on going after the persons throwing they all made off. Lieutenant John G. Malcolmson, of the Bombay Cavalry and the Junior United Service Club, said—Yesterday after noon I was by the Round Pond, and as I came towards the Serpentine I found a large number of men snowballing. I tried to get out of the way, when I was set upon and pelted by a large number of fellows. My hat was knocked off, I was knocked down, and then surrounded by 300 or 400 fellows and pelted with snowballs. A stick with which I tried to defend myself was broken to pieces by one of the crowd, and I was knocked down re peatedly. When I first saw the snowballing going on I thought it was only a game, but I soon found that it was not. Why I come here is not so much tdpunish the lads, who were not the ringleaders, and were two of the smallest, but because I did not notice a single park keeper or constable present to stop it or to drive persons away. Some of the gentlemen at last formed together with the assistance of the ,park constables, and rushed down and drove the fellows off. I saw Clay dis tinctly throwing. I think the constables ought to have done something, ladies being served in the same way. I was very badly treated and was wet through. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Were there no park constablo on duty while the affair was going on ? Lieutenant Malcolmson—None, sir. Mr. Tyrwhitt—We are much indebted to you, sir, for coming forward. Mr. Robert Wheble, of the Reform Club, said—l was in the ae disgrace Park toter a d ay civilised ft e r non, o o c ll o u n , a n t r d y. considerWhilstwh getting took e t ttin g place away from the snowball throwers a 'lad came down to me and said, " Don't go that way, for there is a fight between the Park constables and the roughs." I do not think half a dozen constables enough at such times. I have not seen so many in the Park since the Garibaldi affair—they were like a swarm of bees. Some steps ought to be taken to prevent the recurrence of such a scene as that of yesterday, as, if there are not sufficient park constables, there ought to be a staff of the police present. I consider I was fortunate in escaping the treatment the first witness received. Inspector Draper, C Division—The police do not do duty in Kensington-gardens. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l should like to know what point of hon our or nonsense prevents them doing so. Mr. Wheble—The park contables seemed to be paying more attention to the ropes across the ice and to the water fowl. Mr. George Shipton, 32, Great Marborough-street, said —Yesterday afternoon I was going through Kensington piece of ice—not snow —nswasbyttiirheowt aßot but could not discover who threw it ; b u t in the bushe s t u m d- e p a o n n d d' cu w t li m e ; face. I turned round a was concealed a number of persons who threw not only snowballs but pieces of ice. I was completely smothered with snow. I called the persons cowards, and made the best of my way to the.bridge. I saw the first witness's hat knocked off, and when he went to use his stick for his protection it was broken in pieces. Several ladies as well as gentlemen were .treated in a similar manner. A gentle man who had a child with him took it up in his arms and ran under the bridge for protection, but there he was pelted by a number of fellows. At last the gentleman made a sortie and drove the fellows away. Clay was taken into custody, and while on the way to the station, followed by a large crowd, German threw a snowball at me, and he was also taken into custody. Some of the persons in the mob then cried out " Get up your sticks and stones." Some of the constables did their duty well, as the larger number of the mob consisted of men, but the scene,was a very dis graceful one. Stephen Middleton, 623 A—At five o'clock yesterday afternoon I was on duty in Hyde-park, and seeing a largo crowd coming from Kensington-gardens, I went towards it, and saw the prisoner Clay in custody ; and on the way German was given into my custody for throwing a snow ball at the last witness. Clay—l had only just come off the ice. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Nobody would care as long as you did not interfere with decent persons. The only thing in your favour is that you were not the worst. When the conduct of persons assumes such dimensions as on the present oc casion, it is time to deal with them, and strongly too. Kensington-gardens there formerly only used by the Royal as yesterday, please the whim of one Family, but they are now devoted to th e public. The re are no doubt park keepers enou g h on ordinary occasions , and why the police abutre not tt admittedf for such without day a it is to person I cannot tell, nor wh y the y do not go down in a sufficient body to protect the public. What can half-a dozen men do with such a body as has been described, and with whom to be a gentleman is a very high offence. Some sharp remedy for such conduct must be adminis tered, and I shall fine Clay £3 or six weeks, and the other prisoner 40 shillings or a month. It is a great pity the other persons could not have been taken into cus tody also, those who were the worst—for I would have sent them all to the sessions. Sergeant Cowdy, one of the Park constables, said—At the time the disorderly conduct was going on the park con stables wero called away from duty to go and close the different gates, stud the mob took advantage of this circum stance. WESTMINSTER A DisOitACEPuL WlFE.—Mary Smith was charged with violently assaulting and wounding her husband by striking him on the temple with a dinner plate. aichard Smith, a pensioner from the army, who is em ployed as gate-keeper in Eaton-square, said that on Satur day afternoon his wife came home, and after abusing him in the vilest terms, threw everything she could lay her hand upon at him. She swore she would split his skull open, and inflicted a wound with a plate on his temple. Mr. Selfo inquired whether the woman was of a violent disposition ? The husband replied so violent that he was much afraid of her, although he had spent a long period of his life in the army. She would think nothing of taking his life, and had for years embittered his existence. There was no keeping her quiet. Mr. Selfe—Has she ever been in prison ? The husband—Repeatedly. This is the ninth time I Lave been obliged to bring her here for her violent conduct towards me. Dennis, the gaoler—Last time he brought her here she was committed for three months, and shortly afterwards, before she had served her time, he bailed her, and she was here again in less than a fortnight for again ill-treating him. The husband—lt's true I bailed her out, but it was through the clergyman at tho prison, who wrote in her be half, and she promised to be quiet if I'd forgive her, but she was not. The wife said she wasn't bad in some respects, if she was in others. Mr. Selfe ordered her to find good bail. THAMES. A FIVE TIMES CONVICTED THlEF.—Andrew Howell, a powerful young man, and the terror of dock constables and river police constables, to whom .he has given much trouble, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with steal ing 41bs. of pepper, the property of the London Dock Company. The prisoner was seen in the dock where he had no business. He was watched to the gate at the 'Wapping entrance, and instead of passing out at the wicket he got over the crapt passing through the lock. He was pur sued and captured in a lug boat, and on being brought on shore and searched 41bs. of good clean pepper was found upon him. Mr. Paget asked why the prisoner should have gone over the craft when he could have passed out at the gateway, and the reply was that it was done to evade the gate . keeper, who would have stopped the prisoner. A Thames police constable said the prisoner had been a thief from his infancy, and had been summarily convicted five times for stealing, on one occasion 4ilb. of tallow, the second time for stealing 101 b. of coffee, a third time for stealing 391 b. of cocoa, on the fourth for stealing 1 cwt. of rice, and on the last occasion he was convicted by Mr. Woolrych, at the Southwark Police-court, for being on the river at 2 o'clock in the morning with intent to commit a felony. Mr. Paget asked if the pepper taken from the prisoner could not be identified. The officer who arrested the prisoner said there was a good deal of pepper in the London-dock, and that 41b. could not be missed. lie did not know where the coffee was taken from in the dock. The prisoner said, in defence, that a man gave him the pepper. _ . _ 4 1A Mr. Paget said that was likely to be true, but it did not absolve the prisoner; no one in the dock had any right to take anything or give any of the property away. It was, however, more likely that the prisoner himself had stolen the pepper. The prisoner was an incorrigible thief, who got his living by thieving. There were five convictions against the prisoner, who was dangerous to society. He would most assuredly commit the prisoner for trial if he could, but there were some difficulties in the way. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months, and kept to hard labour, for the unlawful possession of the popper. He was sorry that the law did not authorise him to inflict a heavier sentence. He had little doubt that be fore many weeks elapsed the prisoner would be brought to that court for some other offence, and that his sentence in the end would be penal servitude for life. The Operative Coachmakers' Industrial Exhibition. But few persons outside the pale of the livery of the city of London are aware of the fact that there exists a guild and mystery of " Coach, or Coach-lituness Makers," and that, like other civic companies, it, too, has its City Hall, its wardens and masters, with the usual compliments of dinners and feastings. Of course the company is not so old as those which date back their existence to charters granted by the early Plantagenet kings, for the simple reason that coaches and coach harness wore not known in those early days. About two hundred years since, how ever, King Charles granted a charter for the company, which after, a slumber of nearly two centuries has awakened up naockianifar an;.no, ---- 2 "-" ;+., name, and the purpose for which it was established. Last year the Company of Painters got up a very instructive exhibition, illustrative of the improvements which had taken place in their trade ; the Coachmakers have now followed the example thus sot ; and on Wednesday a dis play of the works of the operative coachmakers will be open for the public inspection. The exhibition will be held in the hall of the Coachmakers' Company, in Noble street, St. Martin's-le-Grand. The articles to be exhi bited are drawings, plans, designs, models, and superior work of the operatives; also loans by noblemen, gentlemen, collectors, coachmakers, and others, of works illustrative of the art of coach building and harness making. Mr. G. W. Hooper, the coach-builder, of the Haymarket, is the gentle man who has taken the most active part in the manage ment and arrangement of the exhibition, and by his exer tions, in connection with the Society of Arts, he has suc ceeded in bringing together a very interesting collection. The Operative Coachmakers' Benevolent Society at one of their annual meetings were the first to suggest that a special opportunity should be given to that particular branch of trade, of illustrating in theory and practice its own ideas of design and construction; and that for this purpose periodical exhibitions should be organised, devoted exclusively to the productions of that particular depart ment of trade under the superintendence of a committee composed of both employers and operatives. The wor shipful Company of Coach and Harness Makers readily gave, as a matter of course, its support and assistance, and lent its hall for the purpose of the exhibition. It is under the special patronage of the Marquis of Lansdowne,who had undertaken to preside at its inauguration. The old hall in which the exhibition is to be held will of itself, as a relic of former • times, bo an object of interest. The nature and scope of the exhibition will be best judged of by the objects for which prizes will be given. The Society of Arts give prizes to the amount of £2O for work ing drawings for a private carriage, showing the construc tion of its various parts ; heraldic or ornamental chasing in silver, brass, or copper, suitable for carriage or harness; and heraldic or other metal ornaments produced by electro deposit, suitable for carriage or harness ornamentation. Prizes are (given by the Worshipful Company of Coach and Coach-Harness Makers and others for open and close carriage combined ; town barouche, or under and C springs; model of a light hospital carriage, to convey the sick poor ; stuffed and quilted carriage cushion in blue morocco leather ; drawing in pencil upon paper (half the full size) of an under fore-carriage for elliptic springs, of usual or original design ; landau pillar hinge ; specimen of panel of carriage painting, either plain or ornamental ; finished pad and bridle, for pair -horse harness ; the best covered car riage dash iron, sewed by hand ; working drawing of orna mental state lamp, suitable for a coach or chariot ; model of brougham or barouche lamp ; full-size working models of furniture for pair-horse harness ; working drawings of bridle fronts ; working drawings of bridle rosettes, of new design ; working drawings of carriage door-handles, of new design; hard and soft solder plating. Minor prizes are to be given for working drawings for improved street cabs ; heraldic painting ; decorative coach carving ; drawings for an improved under fore-carriage for a brougham, com bining lightness and strength ; ornamental carriage paint ing, imitation pedestal painting, sham caining; also for har monious combination of colours and perfection of surface ; for the best method of detaching fallen horses quickly, either in front or rear; cushion, stuffed and quilted in any material ; new mode of trimming a carriage door ; design for a hammercloth, combining good effect and economy in cost, and others. The judges appointed are the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Torrington, R. C. Mansell Esq., S.E. Railway ; Mr. Hall, of Long-acre ; Mr, Holloway, of Mount-street ; and Mr. Rock, of Hastings. Among the articles exhibited are models and drawings of early state carriages, royal and civic, of the old mail coach, now added to the curious relics of a past day ; omnibuses in which we look in vain for any great improvement since the days of the first Shillibeers ; railway carriages, as constructed on the Brighton Railway ; very curious speci mens of old heraldic painting ; old and new patterns of coach embroidcry ; tasteful arrangements of hammercloths; and drawings and designs for carriages of every description. There are three very apparently practical inventions for releasing horses, when fallen, from carriages and harness ; a mode of covering the step of a carriage when not required to be used, so as to keep it free from dirt and mud ; a mode of raising and lowering landau heads. In the matter of lamps an immense amount of ingenuity has been expended. The wood carvings and the drawings are very numerous, and form interesting portions of the exhibition.—Observer. FlRES.—During last night and this morning a number of fires occurred in the metropolis.. The premises of Mr. Marsden, a looking-glass maker, of Plough-street, Whitechapel, were destroyed ; the workshop of Mr. Burr, likewise a looking-glass maker, of Mintern 7 street, NOW North-road, and the house adjoining, were also destroyed; Mr. Phillips, a tailor, of High-street, Poplar, had his house destroyed in a similar manner; and there were two other fires at Bethnal-green and Shoreditch, each attended with considerable damage. MARK-LANE. In the country markets held on Saturday, good and home-grown wheats were in fair average request, and prices ruled firm ; but inferior qualities met a slow sale at late rates. Barley, with the exception of selected malting produce, which was in demand at fully previous quota tions, moved off slowly on former terms. The oat trade was steady, but for beans and peas the markets were quiet. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent at late rates. The trade at New York is still very inactive, and scarcely any business is doing for export. On the Conti nent the corn markets generally are dull. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat from Essex were small ; but there was an increased show of Kent produce on sale. The total supply of produce on the stands, however, was very moderate ; nevertheless, the trade, generally speaking, was in an inactive state, but without leading to any quotable change in prices from Monday last; indeed, the market, as far as the quotations are concerned, may be considered firm. The condition of the produce was tolerably good. . . The supply of foreign wheat on sale was but moderate ; the amount of business transacted was small, yet no altera tion can be noticed in the prices current on Monday last. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, at late rates. With English barley the market was very moderately supplied,- and the trade for all good and fine malting qualities ruled firm, at fully previous quotations. Inferior barley met a slow sale, at late rates. There was a good supply of foreign descriptions on the stands. Malt changed hands to a very moderate extent, at late prices. Owing to the large importation, there was rather less activity in the oat trade. All good and fine samples, how ever, were in fair average request, at' full currencies; but inferior produce was rather lower in price than on Mon day last. The supply of home-grown oats on sale was very moderate. Beans were less freely offered, and the trade for them was firm,but without leading to any improvement in prices. Peas were in slow request, although the supply on offer was very moderate. The quotations, however, ruled stationary. _ _ . In flour, about an average business was transacted, at late rates.

For the time of year, the supply of foreign stock on sale to-day was somewhat extensive. Both for beasts and sheep the demand ruled inactive at barely previous rates. Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts were moderate as to number, and the quality of the stock was prime:: The supply from Scotland comprised 336 head, in excellent condition. The demand for nearly all breeds of beasts was in a somewhat inactive state, and, in some instances, prices favoured the butcher to the extent of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for beef was ss. 4d. ; but some very superior stock realised ss. 6d. per 8 lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, snd Cambridgeshire we received 2,200 Scots, crosses, &o. ; from other parts of Eng land, 700 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 336 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 180 oxen and heifers. The supply of sheep on sale was small. The general quality of the stock being very middling, good and prime Downs and half breeds moved off steadily at fully late rates ; but inferior breeds were in slow request on former terms. The general top figure for mutton was 6s. 2d. per 81bs. Half-bred tags and long-woolled sheep, carrying valuable skins, changed hands at high prices. There were a few clipped sheep in the layers, but, owing to the se verity of the weather, they are not exhibited for sale in the market. Calves were in moderate supply and steady request at late rates. The top price was ss. 6d. per 81bs. Pigs were in fair average request at previous quotations.

The Dispute in the Building Trades. The Birmingham Post, of Saturday, says :—" We are glad to be able to state that there is an imme diate prospect of a settlement upon an apparently permanently basis of all questions in dispute between the masters and operatives in the building trade. The discharge note, as our readers are aware, was withdrawn a week since, and in the resolution with drawing it the masters expressed themselves willing to meet a deputation from the men to discuss differ ences and agree upon a set of rules to be binding on both sides in the event of any further disputes. No notice of this resolution was officially communi cated to the men ; they only heard of it through the medium of the press. They held a meeting upon the subject, however, and wisely determined to communicate with the masters and ascertain whether the uncontradicted information pub lished last Saturday was accurate. Accordingly the operatives' secretary wrote to the masters' secretary, asking for an interview between deputa tions from both bodies ; and that interview being granted, the meeting took place on Friday. The masters were represented by Messrs. W. B. Briggs, Blore, E. Barnsley, C. Jones, J. Hardwick, G. Hohnes, and W. Matthews. The deputation from the operatives consisted of Messrs. Price, Burton, Burgess, French, Jones, Gould, Matthews, and Sayer. The interview was of nearly two hours' duration, and matters were discussed in a friendly spirit on both sides. In reply to the men, the masters gave an assurance that the discharge note had been un conditionally withdrawn, and stated that the reason why the men received no notice of the fact was that the masters were not aware of the existence of a General Operatives Committee, which re presented the whole body of men on strike—they only knew of the committees of Trades Societies, and did not hold these to represent the whole body of workmen. This question being disposed of, the proposed meeting for a discussion of differences came under consideration. After a lengthy conver sation, the following conclusions were arrived at That the masters shall meet by themselves, next Wednesday, to agree upon such rules for the regu lation of the trade as they may deem suitable, and that the men shall meet and agree upon such rules as they may deem suitable ; that early in the fol lowing week an equal number of masters and men, appointed by their respective bodies, shall meet to discuss these rules ; that in case of dispute, each side shall choose a referee, and that the referees so chosen shall choose an umpire, whose decision shall be final ; and lastly, that the rules so agreed upon between the representatives of the masters and the representatives of the men shall be bind ing upon the whole trade, both masters and opera tives. These points being satisfactorily agreed upon, the deputation stated that there was no reason why the whole of the men should not return, and that they should advise them to do so on Monday morn ing. There being still a question in the minds of the men as to the three mouths' notice which it was agreed some time since should be given before any alteration in trade rules could come into force, the masters ;were asked whether they considered that rule to be still in force, and, if so, whether the pre sent arrangement ought not to be carried out with out any prejudice to the men in that respect. The masters replied that they did not consider the rule to be in force ; and it seemed to be generally agreed upon that all previously existing rules were now null and void, awaiting re-modelling at the hands of the forthcoming Conference." Lifeboat Services• PAR, CORNWALL, Sunday Night. During a heavy gale of wind from S. by W. this morn tng (reports Mr. W. E. Geach) the Falvey lifeboat of the National Institution put off to the assistance of a French lugger, then lying at anchor on the lee shore of St. Austell Bay, having a signal of distress flying. As soon as the vessel was discerned by the Coastguard at daybreak the lifeboat was launched, and under the command of her able and energetic coxswain, W. Heath, having also on board Mr Geo.Reddett, chief officer of the Polkcrris Coastguard Stit tion, proceeded to the assistance of the vessel and crew. The sea was running high and the windblAing a gale. The lug ger hung heavily on her cables, which wore expected to part on tho approach of every sea. The coxswain and chief officer boarded and took the command_ the /,...iguig on to windward. Sail was immediately set, the anchors shipped, and the vessel was brought safely into Par Harbour. A galley from Polkorris also put off, and to show the great danger her crew incurred in attempting to cross the bay in such weather, as soon as they got on board the ship their boat was instantly capsized and lost. So rough was the sea in crossing the bay to Par that no other than a lifeboat could have lived in such weather. The vessel proved to be the La Maria Francois, Le Pore Sam son, Arthur Jeangert, master, 67 tons, four men, from Portsmouth to Par in ballast.

OLD COURT. The sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this day before the Lord Idayor, the Recorder, and the other functionaries. The Recorder, in chargixr g the Grand Jury, said the calender, though limited, as 'far as numbers were concerned, was of a very serious character. There was a charge A murder against Serafino Polioni, 'who stood indicted for killing Michael Harrington. The lamentable occurrenco took place in conseqvience of a public-house quarrel near Saffron-hill. The whole of the evidence would be laid before them, and it would be for thim to say whether there was a prima facie Cage against him ; if so, it would be their duty to return a true bill against him. There were three charges of demanding money with threats, and it was much to be regretted that this affair seemed to be on the increase. There was a very voluminous case against -two persons named Birch and Terry, late of the. Unity Bank, who stood charged with having published a fraudulent balance sheet. The proceedings were taken under 24 and 25 Vic., which laid down who were the proper parties to be sued as public officers in such matters. As far as he had been enabled to read the depositions, it appeared to him that Birch, who was a paid secretary, was not in the position of a public officer, but with respect to Terry, the manager, the case was different. The investigation would be very complicated, owing to the immense quantity of books and documents that would have to be examined, but he had no doubt they would be enabled efficiently to discharge their duties. The learned gentleman having referred to the other cases comprised in the calendar, which were of the same order, remitted the Grand Jury to their duty. In a short time the trials commenced. John Dring was indicted for receiving a quantity of shawls, well knowing them to have been stolen. NEW COURT. Mary Ann Dring, wife of the above prijoner, was in dicted for uttering counterfeit coin. She uleaded The Common Sergeant said hers wag a very bad case. She had been frequently punished _ before for the same offence, and the one for which Fkie was now about to un dergo punishment was committed very near Newgate. It appeared she had been to vie it her husband previous to his trial, and on leaving the Prison she had gone to a public house and passed a bad half-crown. She had also been charged with pot-stealing, and he had no doubt the articles had been converted into counterfeit coin. The learned Judge then sentenced tier to five years' penal servitude. G. Dolton also pleaded guilty to uttering coin. There was a number of former convictions against him. The Common Sergeant sentence him to seven years penal servitude.] SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.
