®NE Y MARKET A.ND rievvriltrwn 4.; T . " 911 21 T JILI T ". "Th N 1.4 UITV . Two ,?`(:1-1,0i The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices of all descriptions are against the buyer. The sales were estimated at 8,000 hales, of which 1,000 were taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation, comprising 900 Egyptian, 6cl. to 9(1. ; 1,000 Surat, 4id. to 5/d.; and 100 Sea Islands, Hid. to ls. 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 y:ar, expecting a fu , her advance, whereas, on the contrary, 11 ere 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 Januar . ) to the latter date : July 16 to 31.

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 Coffe e 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 100,000/. 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 money market. With the arrival of a large 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 954 for money, and to 95 g for the account, September 10. Tile New 3 per Cents, have been 96 I, and the Reduced An nuities 95g to 95g. Bank Stock is 217 to 218 2.

She believed they were there together also An the Monday. Elayden, the intelligent and indefatigable detective officer connected with the office, said he had searched Thomases residence_in _John , street, Blackfriars, where he went by the name of Harrington. He there found a photographic likeness of him, some lettere, a white hat, two books, and 32 duplicates. From the nature of the articles pledged, he thought • he should be able to prove ti:at 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 Thin, whose exertions in tracing the privinere have been un remittiog, they searched the room, and there found a photographic likeness of the prisoner, who was known at his lodgings as Thesiger, and 2d duplicates of seve ral articles, and a white hat.

The act of bankruptcy on which the adjudication was made was on the evidence of Mr. Peck, as to the stop page of the bank and the closing - of the establishment. Today was appointed for the choice of assignees. Messrs. Armstrong and Phillips, of Guildhall Cham bers, appeared as solicitors to the petitioning creditor, and Mr. Plews (Lawrence an,) Plews) 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, arid 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 dis counted, and which was prove I by Mr. Thomas Green Gloey ; Mr. Jas. Sandeman, bill discounter, 4,0751. ; Mr. J. Maison, executor of the late Samuel Adams, 2,024/. 18s, ; Mr. Wm. Sweenwell, Hertford Corn Mar ket, 3,6301. ; Mr. Abel Smith, of Woodhall-park, Wal ton, 1,866/., &c., but the majority were for much smaller sums on balanco of accounts and on notes of the bank. From the preliminary etaterneut prepared by Messrs. Thomas and C.ipley, Gresham -street, it appears that there is due to "creditor 61,592/. 7s. lid. ; liabilities on bills receivable negotiated, the greater part of which are expected to be mec at maturity, 75,1691. 113. 11d. ; notes in circulation, 19,000/. ; assets expected to pro duce 50,0001." Mr. Plews tendered the proofs of Mr. Elsey, on be half of the Bulk of England, for 25,2601. for bills die coun'ed, and one on behalf of Mr. Rich ‘ ll 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, suegested that the creditors should give up the notes upon which they proved, instead of hav ing them mirked as "exhibits," which is, the ordinary course. 98 -- 100 .00 105 12 -- 14 L:39 141 4 44 Do , Gt.

Proofs were admitted to the amount of about 60,000/, without opposition. Mr. Piews then said that it bad been proposed that Mr. Elsey, of the Bank of Rigla.nd, and Mr. Lawrence, of Hatfield, wine merchant. should be chosen assiznees. He said that it was customary with the Bank of Eng land,:except in special cases, t) come in and prove at the earliest opprtunity whether the bills had be come due er not, but it wai very seldom that they sought to be assignees, but in this case it had been deemed advisable. Hr. Els.y, being the man Ager of the Discount Branch of the Ba. k of Englanl, and Mr. Lawrencs was will 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 cred►tor, should be j dried in the assigneesbip, and it las asked whether be would pledge himself to at'end the meetings, hut it was ultimately ar ranged that the two first-natued gentlemen should be chosen alone. His Honour confirmed the choice, and the meeting terminated. POLICE INT.ELLIGENCE.—(This Day. GUkLDUALL. 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, o❑ the 21st elt. Mr. Peacock appeared on the part of the Post office autb,rities. The following additional evidence was given : Mr. J. C. Stevens, King-street, Covent-garden, de posed he was an , uctioneer. Oa the 21st July last he tnad,: a remittance to York, through Mes-rs. Cutts 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 poste3 at the receiving -house in Kin4-street. In consequence Of information that he re ceived afterwards he requested Messrs. Cout.ts 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 21.4 July, at the King street receiving-house. He took it from the place where lettrrs for past were genQrAlly put. To the beat 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—He made no memorandum of having posted the letter, nor did he know it contained a check. Julia Whorrod, housekeeper t'i 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 ',Jok 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. H." She told him that she had none in that name.. This occurred during the time she was tying up the letter 4. 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 Loudon 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 carne 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 th e l e tt ers . 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 she ?" Witness said she believed the woman hal no ch ildren with her. The female purchased a postag e stamp. By Hellier—she c ,uld not positively say that eitherot the prisoners were the Alen 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 au end of the case. This L.; the only witness. (Liughter.) Mr. Alderman Challis—Oh no. We shall have °thar witnesses to examine. Mr. E. R. Cutkr, 5, Blenheim-road, St. John's Wood, corroborated the last witness's evidence relative to her making up the delivery in question. Whilst iu the shop he saw a man there very much resembling the prisoner Miller. The man was sitting down at the time. He believed the prisoner t - ► be the luau, but he would not swear positively to him. Ellen Harrington, 27, John-street, aackfriars, deposed that she had known the prisoner 10 months. Sae had known Thomas for that time by the name of Robert Harrington, and Hellier by the names of Frederick Harrington and Frederick Theiiger. She did not know if they were related. She had known R 'bert Harring- ton by the name of George Thomas. She never knew the other by the name of Ileflier. The prisoners bal been often tog,ther at her house—several Thomas—l have been living with her there. Examination continued—She hail never been desired to leave the room when the two prisoners had been there, She had, however, left the room when they had Shr. Pawl. RAILWAYS. ae Redford AY.tti.

CHARLIE Or RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS.—This morn ing Joltn Pinkerton, a common lodging-house keeper, wa4 placed at the bar on remand, charged with baying in his possession a large quantity cf 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 bad ben left at different times by parties temporarily occupying apartments in his houses. This morning Inspector Mitchell stated he bad re ceived two letters relating to two of the rings, and another letter referring to some other property. The I parties were not in attendance, but he had several other cases complete against the prisoner. Mr. Henry thought, from the communications that bad been received, he had better remand the prisoner for another week, his.ease would not be prejudiced by such a proceeding. Mr. Lewis, who appeared for the prisoner, said he bad no olijection to such a proceeding providing bail was ac cepted for his client's appe.raiice. Mr. Henry refused to accept bail. Mr. Lewis then proceeded to address the magistrate in suppnrt, of his application for bail, and said he would prefer a commital, as he c ,old then make an application to a judge at chambers for the liberation of his client on bail. Mr. Henry said be could not accede to the r( quest for bail. He wou'd therefore remand the prisoner until Wednesday next, upon which day he would coA.mit 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. Frum the statement of the complainant, Mr. Robert Holland, a tradesrnae carryihg 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 ab'iut two minutes afterwards a person entered the shop and told him a drunken man was obstructing his servant in his duty. On going to ascertain the cause of the disturb ance Le saw a man sitting near the shop, and on his requesting him to leave the spot, he commencrd abusing him, using language of a most disgusting nature. Finding he could not per-uade the mail to go a Aay, be despatched his servant for a police•coestabie, 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 policemen, 311 E, made his appearance. It was here remarked by the Insinctor that there was no such number in the force. " The policeman, 311 A, alrni!ted he was the min. Complainant continued—lmmediately on the arrival of the constable he told him to take the man into custody :or insulting him. The constable rdased to do so, say ing. he could not take 3,111311 into custody up )n such a charge. Mr. Henry—Was the constable present when the nun used the abusive language. C smplainant said ho %sas not. The constable,in answer to,therdiarge, 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 complaigant, he would take him into custody. He bad been ten years in the force, and this was the first time then had bee:i 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 patty. The complainant said he th.ught it was very bail 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 bands, Mr. Henry said the law did not give power to police• men to arrest parties wilout warrant for using abusive language which they did not hear, and he thought it was wise it d:d not do so. If it did, it would be very easy for a person t ► accuse another of insultin4 him and ving 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 ream he had moved in the affair. The case was dismissed. MARLBOROUGH•STREE P. SHOCKING PROFLIGACY AT THE WEST END.—PAIN FE% CASE.—Ma r y 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 n:ght, while on duty in the Haymarket, he saw the prisoners stop several g-ntlemen. He cau tioned them, and finding that they would still per. gist in annoying the foot passeng- , rs he 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 cu4tody. The other prisoner foll)wed, and when a sergeant came up she was also re moved to the station•house. Mr. Bingham (to the prison ers)—What have you to sarto 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 ho..v 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 sail case. You have he-n 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 toue 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 vrretched and wicked life of profli- gacy, for, rest assured, if y do not, that is less than three years you will die on a dung bill. You (Obern) must pay a fine of 10s. or be imprisoned for ten days. The other prisoner is discharged. ' ROBBERY IN OXFORD STREET.—Mary Dixon, a pros titute, was charge] with robbing James Hatcher, aged 55 years, of a crown piece. It appeared trona the evidence that the prosecutor, who is a wait-r, bad been to a dinner at the Skinners' Hall, City, avid 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 lett her aul found that he bad been robbed of a crown piece, which had been taken out ofhis trousers pocket. The prisoner went away, but was stopped by police-constable 221 D, Who found the money and a t-ilVer comb down the area of a gentleman's house. Mr. Bingham a , kf-d the priAomr what she had to say to the charge, when she said, "The prosecutor gave me the to go home with me." The police constable said the prosecutor was not sober. Prosecutor—l had only had a few glasses of wine. Mr. Biagbain—l am afraid your evidence is too slight o be taken, therefore the prisoner must be cliebarged. The: prisoner, to her great surprise, was told to go - a way. SOUTHWARK. FORGERY, FRAUD, AND FlLONY,—Thomas Harris, a i middle-aged man, who has been in custoly several times for fraud, was brought before Mr. Combe charged with being concerned with William Harri, his son, not in custody, in obtaining a large quantity of timber from the C numercial 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 D ck Company. James Gower, one of the foremen in the emplay of the Dock Corsirany, said that on the 22d of July last they had in their ebarge 450 spruce dea!s consigned to Mr. Benjamin Groves, timber merchant, in the South wark-bridge-road. On that day the prisoner and another younger person came with a van ,to the docks, and stated that they were sent to fetch fifty of the dea's. 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 ho had discovered 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 van 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 farther. He asked witness 2s. 3d. a deal for them. 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 be suspected that the deals were stolen, when he replied that such could not be the case as the delivery note was signed previous, and 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 be would pay him. The prisoner then left, when he folbOwed 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 anothf r party. Edward Funnell, a city detective, said the prisoner waq sentenced to seven years' transportation, in August 1848, for felony. TLe prieoner, who said be should reserve his defefice, was fully committed for trial. THAMES, MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A MARINE. TV/Ilia/A Onion, a private, belonging to the Royat Marines, whose reg'i merit is stationed at Deptford, was brought before Mr. Seeker, of the Greenwich Police Court, charged- with a variety of cffences. Last night, about 10 o'clock, the prisoner staggered into thd shop of Mr. James B. Nichol!, baker, of No. 9, Commercial-road . East, and demanded a penny cake of an oli lady who was sew ing behind the counter. She informed him that she had• not got a penny cake in the shop, on which he abused her in :he most scandalous mancer, and use 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 censtable was sent for, and John Bone, 181 H, soon afterwards arrived, and had no sooner made his appear ' anc© 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 him. B'ackwell, No. 57 H, 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. , Be was waking_ a hideous noise all night. An officer of the Royal Marines said the prisoner was a person of very indifferent character. Mr. Seeker sail that a man in the position of the pri soner, mid wearing the uniform of an honourable and gallant corps, ought to have known better. He con sidered the conduct of the prisoner ti be most violent and disgraceful, and he sentenced him to a month's im prisonment. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Aug.

WOOLWIOH, Aug. 7.—The titeam-Store-ship Dee, Master - Commander Pullen, returned:to Woolwich Dockyard this evening from an experin.ent d.voyage to Pembroke, to test 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 blethered, of America; the- talented discoverer of this new method of using steam, was down with the vessel &ping 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.

IVIARKET WZ,—(This Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. There was a full averag e number of Mond a y' s unso ld samples of English wh ea t on sale in to-day's msrkat, 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 foreig n wheat was consirlorably on the in crease. and the trad e 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 for barley and malt, at full cur. rendes. Good sound oats were steady, at full prices ; but out•of• condition samples gave way 6d. p.ir quarter. Beans, peas, and flour were very dull, but not cheaper. ARRIVALS THIS WIER. Wheat. 1 Barley.

We had a very poor show of beasts in ,to-day's market, an.i the greater portion of the supply was the refuse of Monday. There was a slight improvement in the demand for most breede, at full quotations. The show of sheep was seasonably good, and the mutton trade was in a slug gish state, b.t Monday's currency. The best lambs were very scarce, and in active request, at 4(1 per 81bs 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 w,ts heavy. In pigs scarcely any transactions took plme.
