The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices of all descriptions are against the buyer. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation, comprising 900 Egyptian, 6Lld. to 9d. ; 1,000 Surat, 4id. to 51d.; and 100 Sea Islands, Hid. to Is. 2d. per lb. The Railway Share Market exhibited a dull aspect, and a slight decline in prices took place. Advices from Marseilles, of the 14th inst., state that the fair at Beaucaire had given an un favourable influence to the wool market at that port. At the commencement of the fair many sel lers hesitated to dispose of their wools at higher prices than ruled last year, expecting a further advance, whereas, on the contrary, there was a decline at the close of the fair, and holders of stock lost considerably by the delay. This decline was chiefly in common wools, for the average sales of fine-washed Buenos Ayres kinds realised from 8 to 10 per cent, more than last year. The sales by public auction were better attended, and the im ports increasing. The following is the Customs returns at Antwerp of the quantities of grain and other cereals im ported from the 16th to the 31st July, and from the Ist January to the latter date : July 16 to 31. Jan. Ito July 16. Kilos. Wheat Rye Oats 352,558 ... 9,081,214 Buckwheat Barley Flour Rice At the close of the month there was in store 4 ,881,862 kilos. of wheat, 124,043 do. rye, and 126,557 do. of buckwheat. The Colonial produce markets during the past week have generally been quiet, with an absence of speculative dealing. Purchasers operate for im mediate wants only, and business is therefore re stricted. For Sugar there has been a moderate demand at previous rates, and the quotations of Coffee have also been well maintained. Tea has ruled quiet, and at the public sales previous rates were obtained. Spices have not been in much demand. Cocoa has been held with firmness, and Saltpetre is steady. Tallow is rather dearer. Two commercial failures were announced yes terday afternoon, viz., Messrs. Courtenay, Kings ford and Co., and Messrs. Pickford and Keen, both engaged in the American trade. The liabili ties of the former are estimated at 80,0001. to 100,0001. The English Stock Market continues flat, and a further slight decline in prices has taken place. No cause can be assigned for this retro grade movement beyond a few speculative sales based upon the present unfavourable state of the m oney large market. With the arrival of a supply of gold from Australia there would probably be more firmness, but at present there is no inclination to speculate for an advance. Consols have declined to 95 and 95k for money, and to 95- 11 1 for the account, September 10. The New 3 per Cents. have been 961 4, and the Reduced An nuities 95 to 95y. Bank Stock is 217 to 218 k. Exchequer Bills have been marked as low as 13s. prem., and the Bonds are 1001. Foreign Stocks attract very little attention, and generally rule flat. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 103- 1, but the 4 per Cents, are at nominal quotations. Dutch 4 per Cents. have been 97/, and the Peruvian Dollar Bonds 601, and Russian 4i per Cent s . 981.

She had never told Hayden, the detective, that she had been desired to leave the room, and that she supposed there was something wrong going on. She might have been asked by them to go on an errand, and she had done so. The last time she saw the prisoners together was on Tuesday morning, at her house. She believed they were there together also on the Monday. Hayden, the intelligent and Indefatigable detective officer connected with the office, said he had searched Thomas's residence in John-street, Blackfriars, where he went by the name of Harrington. He there found a photographic likeness of him, some letters, a white hat, two books, and 32 duplicates. From the nature of the articles pledged, he thought he should be able to prove that some of them had been stolen, and he asked for a long remand in consequence. He went to St. Mary's-square, Kennington, the other prisoner's residence, and, in company with Thain, whose exertions in tracing the prisoners have been un remitting, they searched the room, and there found a photographic likeness of the prisoner, who was known at his lodgings as Thesigor, and 2G duplicates of seve ral articles, and a white hat. f rua.' RAILWATS. Lemma Compaw, C , olan, ens, yesterday. all nest thin day COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.) IN RE SAMUEL ADAMS.—EXTENSIVE illib FAILURE. This bankrupt was described as a banker at Ware) Hertfordshire, and had for many years conducted the Ware and Hertford Bank, Ware, under the style of Samuel Adams and Co., and who waa adjudicated bank iupt on the 24th of July last, on the petition of Mr. Daniel Peck, of Ware, gentleman, who was a creditor for 2681. 128. 2d. upon a current bankrupt account. The act of bankruptcy on which the adjudication was made was on the evidenoe of Mr. Peek, as to the stop page of the bank and the closing of the establishment. To-day was appointed for the choice of assignees: Messrs. Armstrong and Phillips, of Guildhall Chace berg, appeared as solicitors to the petitioning creditor, and Mr. Plows (Lawrence and Plows) appeared to sup port the claims of a large number of creditors and to propose assignees, and another list was presented by Mr. Longmore, and great interest was evinced as to the choice, and it was proposed that one London and one country creditor should be appointed. A great number of creditors were present, and the list of claims contained, amongst others, the following : —The Bank of England, for about 25,2601. on bills die counted, and which was proved by Mr. Thomas Green Gloey ; Mr. Jas. Sandeman, bill discounter, 4,0751. ; Mr. J. Maison, executor of the late Samuel Adams, 2,0241. 18s. ; Mr. Wm. Sweenwell, Hertford Corn Mar ket, 3.6301. ; Mr. Abel Smith, of Woodhall-park, Wal ton, 1,8661., &c., but the majority were for much smaller sums on balance of accounts and on notes of the bank. The prisoners were then committed on the charge, but will be further examined on a future day relatiTe to other charges of robbery. From the preliminary statement prepared by Messrs. Thomas and Copley, Gresham -street, it appears that there is due to " creditor 61,5921. 7s. 11d. ; liabilities on bills receivable negotiated, the greater part of which are expected to be met at nsaturity, 75,1691. lls. lid. ; notes in circulation, 19,009/. ; assets expected to pro duce 50,0001." Mr. Plews tendered the proofs of Mr. Elsey, on be half of the Bank of England, for 25,260/. for bills dis counted, and one on behalf of Mr. Richard Sanderson, bill broker ; on behalf of himself and partner, for 4,0751., for bills discounted by the bankrupt. Mr. Whitehead, the registrar, who took the undis puted proof, suggested that the creditors should give up the notes upon which they proved, instead of hav ing them marked as "exhibits," which is the ordinary course. Some of the creditors objected, but Mr. Whitehead explained that the notes were of no possible value after they had been proved, but if they should be ever required they would at any time be forthcoming. Proofs were admitted to the amount of about 60,0001. without opposition. Mr. Plows then said that it had been proposed that Mr. Elsey, of the Bank of England, and Mr. Lawrence, of Hatfield, wine merchant, should be chosen assignees. He said that it was customary with the Bank of Zug land, except in special cases, to come in and prove at the earliest opportunity whether the bills had be come due or not, but it was very seldom that they sought to be assignees, but in this case it had been deemed advisable. Mr. Elsey, being the manager of the Discount Branch of the Bank of England, and Mr. Lawrence was well known to many of the creditors, and would be able to devote his attention to the estate. A discussion then took place on the proposal that Mr. Peck, the petitioning creditor, should he joined in the assigneeship, and it was asked whether he would pledge himself to attend the meetings, but it was ultimately ar ranged that the two first-named gentlemen should be chosen alone. His Honour confirmed the choice, and the meeting terminated. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) GUILDHALL. THE POST LETTER STEALERS. The two men, Thomas and Hillier, were brought up on remand charged with stealing a bundle of post letters from the receiving -house, in King-street, Covent-Garden, on the 21st nit. Mr. Peacock appeared on the part of the Post•office authorities. The following additional evidence was given : Mr. J. C. Stevens, King-street, Covent-garden, de posed he was an auctioneer. On the 21st July last be made a remittance to York, through Messrs. Coutts and Co., and he drew on them for 761. 17s. Od. The check was made payable to Messrs. Backhouse and Sons. He crossed the check in the usual manner, put it in an en velope, fastened it, and directed it to Messrs. Back house and Son, York. It was then put in the usual place for letters to be posted at the receiving -house in King-street. In consequence of information that he re ceived afterwards he requested Messrs. Coutts not to pay the check except in the usual manner. He crossed the check, and wrote on it "and Co., Bankers," but it had been erased from the check. The word "Bankers" could clearly be traced on it. The letter should have been posted about the middle of the day. By Hellier—He could not swear the check was posted in King-street. Mr. Alderman Challis—The person who posted the Letter is here. Thomas White, porter to the last witness, deposed that he posted a letter on the 21st July, at the King• street receiving -house. lie took it from the place where letters for post were generally put. To the best of his recollection he posted it between 1 and 2 o'clock in the day. That was the only letter he posted in the middle of that day. He did not notice to whom it was ad dressed. By Hellier—lle made no memorandum of having posted the letter, nor did he know it contained a check. Julia Whorrod, housekeeper to Mr. Daniel, 2, King street, Covent-garden, deposed that her master kept a Post-office receiving house, and that she assisted him in his duties. On Monday fortnight she made up the two o'clock collection and put it on the counter. Mr. Cutler came in whilst she was stamping the letters, and asked her to put one in, and slipped one in himself to go by that despatch. Whilst Mr. Cutler was standing look ing at her a man came in. [Witness was asked to look round the Court and see if she could point out the man, and on doing so she pointed out Bailey, one of the detectives, as something like the man.] She did not believe either of the prisoners was the man who came in first. After the man came in he sat down and asked for a letter for "J. She told him that she had none in that name: This occurred during the time she was tying up the letters. As soon as she had finished tying them up in a bundle, she went across the shop to the other counter, and the man rose, followed her, and asked for a copy of the Times. She gave it him, and he looked at it. A woman then came in, fol lowed by a man, whom she was unable to identify. The second man said he wanted a London Journal, took it up, put a penny down and walked out of the shop, and the woman followed him. The first man who came in then also took up a London Journal, put a penny down and walked away. About three or four minutes after these persons had left the shop she missed the bundle of letters. Before missing it the last witness came in with 11 foreign letters, and whilst calculating the postages one of Mr. Daniel's young men came in and asked her if she had made up the letters. She said, " Yes." He asked, " Where are they ?" She replied, "There," pointing to the place she had put them. He said, "They are not ;" and then it was the loss was discovered. The prisoner Hellier displayed much tact in cross examining the witness, but in his eagerness to test her credibility relative to the persons who came into the shop, said, referring to the woman, " She had two or three children with her, hadn't ehe ?" Witness said she believed the woman had no children with her. The female purchased a postage stamp. By Hellier—she could not positively say that either of the prisoners were the men who entered the shop. Mr. Alderman Challis—She has already said she could not positively say you were in the shop. Hellier—Then I submit there is an end of the case. This is the only witness. (Laughter.) Mr. Alderman Challis—Oh no. We shall have other witnesses to examine. Mr. E. R. Cutler, 5, Blenheim road, St. John's Wood, corroborated the last witness's evidence relative to her making up the delivery i n question. Whil s t i n t h e s h op he saw a man there very much resembling the prisoner HeHier. The man was sitting down at the time. He believed the prisoner to be the man, but ho would not swear positively to him. Ellen Harrington, 27, John•etreet, Black friars, deposed that she had known the prisoner 10 months. She had known Thomas for that time by the name of Robert Harrington, and Hellier by the names of Frederick Harrington and Frederick Thesiger. She did not know if they were related. She had known Robert Harring- ton by the name of Geor,ge Thomas. She never knew the other by the name of Hellier. The prisoners had been often together at her house—several times. Thomas—l have been living with her there. Examination continued—She had never been desired to leave the room when the two prisoners had been there.

CHARGE OF RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.—This morn ing John Pinkerton, a common lodging-house keeper, was placed at the bar on remand, charged with having in his possession a large quantity of wearing apparel, watches, and jewellery, supposed to have been stolen. It will be recollected that the prisoner is the pro prietor of some 30 or 40 common lodging houses in the neighbourhood of Drury-lane, and that the stolen pro perty which he was charged with having in his posses sion he stated had been left at different times by parties temporarily occupying apartments in his houses. - This morning Inspector Mitchell stated he had re ceived two letters relating to two of the rings, and another letter referring to some other property. The parties were not in attendance, but he had several other cases complete against the prisoner. Mr. Henry thought, from the communications that had been received, be had better remand the prisoner for another week, his case would not be prejudiced by such a proceeding. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, said he had no objection to such a proceeding providing bail was ac cepted for his client's appearance. Mr. Henry refused to accept bail. Mr. Lewis then proceeded to address the magistrate in support of his application for bail, and said he would prefer a commital, as he could then make an application to a judge at chambers for the liberation of his client on bail. Mr. Henry said he could not accede to the request for bail. He would therefore remand the prisoner until Wednesday next, upon which day he would commit him for trial, and Mr. Lewis could then make his application to one of the judges. CHARGE AGAINST A POLICEMAN. Police-constable Thomas Pratt, 311 A, appeared before Mr. Henry to answer a charge that had been made against him of ne glecting his duty. The inquiry had been ordered by the Commissioners of Police. From the statement of the complainant, Mr. Robert Holland, a tradesman carrying on business in Museum• street, it appeared that at about five minutes past nine on the evening of the 29th ult., he desired his servant to put up the shutters of the shop, and in about two minutes afterwards a person entered the shop and told him a drunken man was obstructing his servant in his duty. Oa going to ascertain the cause of the disturb ance he saw a man sitting near the shop, and on his requesting him to leave the spot, he commenced abusing him, using language of a most disgusting nature. Finding he could not persuade the man to go away, he despatched his servant for a police-constable, who, after an absence of about ten minutes, returned without one. The man then again commenced using the most insult ing language, and eventually a policeman, 311 E, made his appearance. It was here remarked by the Inspector that there was no such number in the force. The policeman, 311 A, admitted he was the man. Complainant continued—lmmediately on the arrival of the constable he told him to take the man into custody for insulting him. The constable refused to do so, say ing he could not take a man into custody upon such a charge. Mr. Henry—Was the constable present when the man used the abusive language. Complainant said he Ni as not. The constable, in answer to the charge, stated that on the evening in question he arrived at the hour men tioned at the shop of the complainant, and immediately he did so Mr. Holland told him to take a person into custody who had been insulting him, and interrupting his business. He told Mr. Holland he had no power to do so, as he had not heard the man make use of any bad language, but he would caution him, and if he still per- sisted in annoying the complainant, he would take him into custody. He had been ten years in the force, and this was the first time thera had been any complaint against him. Mr. Henry told the complainant the constable had no power to arrest a person for using bad language which he did not hear. The course he ought to pursue was to take out a summons against the party. The complainant said he thought it was very hard that tradesmen should be subjected to be insulted and annoyed by idle people, and then after all to have to take the law into their own hands. Mr. Henry said the law did not give power to police. men to arrest parties without warrant for using abusive language which they did not hear, and he thought it was wise it did not do so. If it did, it would be very easy for a person to accuse another of insulting him and giving him into the custody of a policeman. If the man had used bad language in the presence of the constable the case would have been different. It had been stated that after the policeman had cautioned the man he went away, and, under the circumstances, this was all the policeman had power to do. Mr. Holland said he had no vindictive feeling against the policeman, but he thought he bad neglected his duty, and that was the reason he had moved in the affair. The case was dismissed. MARLBORO UGH•STREET. SHOCKING PROFLIGASY AT THE WEST END.—PAIN• PIM CASE.—Mary Obern and Emily Dorrington, two fashionably dressed girls, were charged before Mr. Bing ham, under the following circumstances. Police.constable 85 C deposed that shortly before 12 o'clock last night, while on duty in the Haymarket, he saw the prisoners stop several gentlemen. He cau tioned them, and finding that they would still per. siet in annoying the foot passengers be spoke to them a second time, when Obern said, " What have you to do with it, the street is as free to me as it is to you!" Wit ness then took her into custody. The other prisoner followed, and when a sergeant came up she was also re moved to the station-house. Mr. Bingham (to the prisonera)—What have you to say to the charge ? Obern --We never stopped any gentleman, and what the officer has stated is all false. Mr. Bingham—How old are you ? Obern —Sixteen years, sir. Mr. Bingham—And how long have you carried on this kind of life ? Obern—About nine months. Mr. Bingham—l really do not recollect, during the whole of my experience, that I ever met with such a sad case. You have been in this police•court before, and I am afraid you are past all redemption ; for your brazen manner convinces me that you spoke to the officer in a tone of defiance. You say the street is as free to you as to others—so it is, but not for an unlawful purpose. The foot passengers must not be annoyed, and the police must also be protected in their duties. Take my advice and abandon such a wretched and wicked life of profli- gacy, for, rest assured, if you do not, that in less than three years you will die on a dung-hill. You (Obern) must pay a fine of 10s. or be imprisoned for ten days. The other prisoner is discharged. ROBBERY IN OZFORD•sTREET. —'Mart Dixon, a pros titute, was charged with robbing James Hatcher, aged 55 years, of a crown piece. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor, who is a waiter, had been to a dinner at the Skinners' Hall, City, and this morning while on the way home in a state of half obliviousness, he met the prisoner near the Marble Arch, Edgware-road. After some conversa tion the prosecutor left her and found that he bad been robbed of a crown piece, which had been taken ont of his trousers pocket. The prisoner went away, but was stopped by police-constable 221 D, who found the money and a silver comb down the area of a gentleman's house. Mr. Bingham asked the prisoner what she had to say to the charge, when she said, " The prosecutor gave me the ss. to go home with me." The police•constable said the prosecutor was not sober. Prosecutor—l had only had a few glasses of wine. M:, Diughan.l7l am afraid your evidence is too eligLt o be taken, therefore the prisoner must be dis Charged. The' . prisoner, to her great surprise, waif told to go away. SOUTHWARK. FORGERY, FRAUD, AND FELONY.—ThOMAS Harris, a middle-aged man, who has been in custody several times for fraud, was brought before Mr, Combe charged with being concerned with William Harris, his son, not in custody, in obtaining a large quantity of timber from the Commercial Docks, Rotherhithe, by means of a forged order, He was also charged with stealing the same. Mr. Druce appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Commercial Dock Company. James Gower, one of the foremen in the employ of the Dock Company, said that on the 22d of July last they had in their charge 450 spruce deals consigned to Mr. Benjamin Groves, timber merchant, in the South wark-bridg,e-road. On that day the prisoner and another yoanger person came with a van to the docks, and stated that they were sent to fetch fifty of the deals. The prisoner presented an order signed Benjamin Groves, and witness perceiving a name of Groves on the van thought it was all right, and delivered the goods. Since then he had dissevered the order to be a forgery, and he had seen the deals in question in the possession of Mr. Pegg, timber merchant, Park•street, Kensington. They were worth about 8/. Francis Groves, carman, 47, Tower-street, Waterloo road, said that the prisoner hired a an of him on the 22d of July, as he said, to remove some timber. Samuel Pegg, builder, Park•street, Kensington, said that on the afternoon of the 22d of July the prisoner and his son called on him with a van containing 50 deals. The prisoner said that they were his property, and that he wanted to sell them, as his horse was sud• denly disabled, and could not carry the load any further. He asked witness 2s. 3d. a deal for theca. He, how ever, agreed to give him 2s. each for them, and paid the prisoner's son a portion on account. On the fol lowing day the prisoner came for the balance, when he told him that he suspected that the deals were stolen, w hen he replied that such could not be the case as the delivery note was signed previous, land that the cart was his. He afterwards said that the deals were not his property, but belonged to another party. Witness then told him to bring the other party and he would pay him. The prisoner then left, when he followed and gave him into custody. Mr. Benjamin Groves, timber merchant, Southwark bridge.road, said that the order produced was a forgery, and he never authorised any one to go for the deals in question. Abraham Deavling, 38 M, alias Black Jack, an active officer, well known to the thieves in the Borough, said he apprehended the prisoner, when he said he was sent to sell the deals by another party. Edward Funnel], a city detective, said the prisoner was sentenced to seven years' transportation, in August 1848, for felony. The prisoner, who said he should reserve his defence, was fully committed for trial. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A MARINE.— TVilliani Onion, a private, belonging to the Royal Marines, whose regi ment is stationed at Deptford, was brought before Mr. Seeker, of the Greenwich Police Court, charged with a variety of offences. Last night, about 10 o'clock, the prisoner staggered into the shop of Mr. James B. Nicholl, baker, of No. 9, Commercial-road East, and demanded a penny cake of an old lady who was sow ing behind the counter. She informed him that• she had not got a penny cake in the shop, on which he abused her in the most scandalous manner, and used language of the most filthy description. His boister ous conduct caused a mob to assemble in and about the shop, the baker's property was in danger, and the Marine refused to go away. A police constable was sent for, and John Bone, 181 H, soon afterwards arrived, and had no sooner made his appear ance than he was knocked down by the prisoner by a tremendous blow with the fist. Before the policeman could rise the prisoner kicked him about the head and body in a most savage manner, and completely disabled B:ackwell, No. 57 11, came to the assistance of his brother officer, and he was also knocked down by the prisoner, who kicked him most brutally when he got him down. Several other policemen soon arrived, and they seized the prisoner, who made a desperate resistance and injured several of them before he could be secured. On the prisoner's arrival at the station-house in Leman street his conduct was so violent that Inspector Weakford, of the H division, was compelled to take his shoes off and handcuff his bands behind his back. The prisoner was very drunk. He was making a hideous noise all night. An officer of the Royal Marines said the prisoner was a person of very indifferent character. Mr. Seeker said that a man in the position of the pri soner, and wearing the uniform of an honourable and gallant corps, ought to have know❑ better. He con sidered the conduct of the prisoner to be most violent and disgraceful, and he sentenced him to a month's im prisonment. all all 100 100 all all all 100 181 eltlttelittENUE 111Ali,En.

The Majestic, 81, Captain Hope, sails this evening or early to-morrow for the Mediterranean station, and the Brilliant, 20, Captain Paynter, for the West India sta. tion • they both take sup ernumeraries. The Rhadatnanthus, steam vessel, Master _Brown, sailed this afternoon for the eastward. Her Majesty was afloat last evening, and passed within hail of the Simla and Clyde, steam transports. WOOLWICH, Aug. 7.—The steam-store-ship Dee, Master Commander Pullen, returned to Woolwich Dockyard this. evening from an experimental voyage to Pembroke, to tent the new principle of mixing ordinary and superheated steam. The experiments were made under the official superintendence of Mr. Partridge, the acting chief engi. neer of the factory at Woolwich Dockyard. The Hon. John Wethered, of America, the talented discoverer of this new method of using steam, was down with the vessel during the experiments. We learn that the result was highly satisfactory to all, the clear economy of fuel being over 30 per cent., and the effective power obtained by a pound of coal much greater than can be obtained by the old mode of using steam. The George Rogers, sailing transport, arrived off the Royal Arsenal, on Wednesday evening, from the Crimes, having on board 24 officers, and between 400 an d 500 gun ners and drivers of the Osmanli Horse Artillery. They have landed to-day, and as there is no barrack-room, they will have to be encamped on the common. Major G. L. M. Tuppers, field battery (M), has been handed over to the command of G. T. Field's coman No. 7 o f th e sth battalion, now stationed at Ballinco p llig, y, Ireland. Lieut.-Col. J. H. Francklyn has taken command of the 12th battalion, and Lieut.-Col. A. G. Burrows that of the 7th battalion. A detachment of gunners and drivers of the Royal Regi ment of Artillery have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to proceed to Bermuda, to fill up vacancies. CRATUAIif, August 7..—An order was this morning re ceived from the Admiralty by Colonel J. A. Philips, corn. mandant of the Royal Marines Light Infantry, directing him to hold in readiness 2 serjeants, 5 corporals, 1 drum. mer, and 52 rank and filelof that corps, for service on board the Edinburgh, 60, preparing for sea at Sheerness. First Lieutenant F. Creighton will embark in command of the detachment. This morning a most interesting ceremony was per. formed on the parade ground of the Marine Barracks, where the whole of the officers and men of that corps were drawn up in column, for the purpose of witnessing the presentation of a silver medal, together with a gratuity of 151., which had been awarded by the Lords of the Admi.. ralty to Colour Serjeant James Hewin, of the Royal Marines, for distinguished conduct and long and merito rious service. The medal was presented to Colour Ser jeant Hewin by Colonel E. A. Parker, the second com mandant, who in a brief speech spoke in high terms of th• character of Serjeant Hewin, and the pleasure it afforded him in having to present him with such a token of approval from the Lords of the Admiralty. A district court-martial, of which Lieutenant-Colonel A. Anderson, Royal Marines, was the president, concluded its sittings at Chatham barracksithis morning, having been engaged nearly three days in trying a number of prisoners charged with various military offences. Hugh Gregson, a private in the East India Company's service, was charged with being found drunk whilst on guard at Brompton, on the night of the Ist instant. The prisoner when visited by the corporal asked permission to go to the rear, where it is supposed he must have procured some spirits, which he concealed about him, as, on being afterwards visited, he was found to be in a state of intoxication. Private James Sidgworth, of the Royal Marines, was arraigned on a charge of desertion. The prisoner deserted from the head. quarters at this garrison in March last, when he enlisted I in the 67th Regiment at Preston, receiving the usual bounty ; he afterwards gave himself up as a deserter. Tho court also tried private George Lock, 45th Regiment, and William Mayor, an orderly, belonging to the Medical Staff Corps, both charged with desertion. Orderly Thos. Payne, of the Medical Staff Corps, was arraigned for theft, in stealing from a comrade. The court found the whole of the prisoners guilty, but their sentences will not be made known until they have received the approval of the Commander-in-Chief.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. There was a full average number of Monday's unsold samples of English wheat on sale in to-day's market, but the fresh receipts of that grain coastwise and by land car riage have been small. For all kinds we had a sluggish inquiry, at Monday's decline in the quotations. The show of foreign wheat was considerably on the in crease, and the trade ruled heavy, at the late fall in value. In floating cargoes of grain very few transactions took place. The arrivals continue good. We had a fair demand fur barley and malt, at full cur• rencies. Good sound oats were steady, at full prices ; but out•of condition samples gave way 6d. per quarter. Beans, peas, and flour were very dull, but not cheaper. English .. Irish .... Foreign 1 Oats.

We had a very poor show of boasts in to-day's market, and the greater portion of the supply was the refuse of Monday. There was a slight improvement in the demand for most breeds, at fall quotations. The show of sheep was seasonably good, and the mutton trade was in a slug. gish state, at Monday's currency. The best lambs were very scarce, and in active request, at 4tl per 81ba more money. Inferior breeds were a slow inquiry at late rates. 'We had an active sale for the best calves, at 2d per 81bs advance. Otherwise, the veal trade was heavy. In pigs scarcely any transactions took place. Mulch cows moved off slowly, at from 141 to 191 each, including their small calf. Per Elbe to sink tho offalc 5. d. a. d.l s. 4. s.
