As yet the prospects of the coming crop are most unfa vourable, and the duty is now estimated at from £60,000 to £70,000.

Wealds Sussex Yearlings l2os 215 s „ POLICE INT.ELLIGENCE.—( This Day, BOW-STREET. Two young men, named Piper and Bospendick, and Sarah Piper and Emma Bospendick, sisters of the male prisoners, surrendered to their bail, charged by policeman E 23 the former, Piper, with creating a disturbance and violently assaulting him, and the three others with rescu ing him from custody. Mr. Lewis appeared for the defendants. Police-constable 23 E said—On Thursday night the de fendant Piper was standing, with a lot of other persons of the same ago (18), creating a disturbance at the corner of Museum-street. He was laughing, chaffing, jumping over the posts, and insulting the passers-by. I told him to leave the spot, but he refused. I had been specially placed on duty at this spot in consequence of the complaints of the neighbours, amongst them Mr. Cumming, of large num bers of idle persons assembling at that place. Piper told me he should not do as I requested, as he was just at his own door, and as I thought he was creating a disturbance I took him into custody. On laying hold of him he struggled very violently. Both of us were upon the ground, and when I got up the female defendants came up and attempted to rescue Piper from my custody. Bospendick also assisted in the ,rescue. Piper, owing to the assistance he received, succeeded in getting into his mother's shop, and then Bospendick was taken into custody for assisting him to escape. Miss Bospendick alio interrupted me in the execution of my duty. I was struck several times severely, my hat was broken, and one of the tails of my coat was torn off. The Inspector said the other constable, who assisted :23 E on the occasion was not in attendance, owing to com pulsory duty elsewhere. He only could speak to the con- duct of one of the prisoners, and therefore his evidence was was not very material. The inhabitants had complained of the 'Annoyances that arose from the assemblage of such persons as these — Mr. Lewis—What do you know about the defendants. When you say such persons as these, Don't you know they are all highly respectable people ? The Inspector—l don't know personally about them, but the constables do. Mr. Lewis—Neither of them have ever been in the hands of the police until this event, and now it will be seen they are the aggrieved parties. Mr. Henry—As Mr. Cumming has complained to the police, why does he not come forward and state what the annoyance is he complains of. It is his duty to do so. The Inspector—He's afraid. They threaten to break his windows if he does. Mr. Henry—That's an absurd excuse. He has made a complaint, and now he refuses to attend. Several respectable witnesses, shopkeepers and residents in the street, came forward and stated that the policeman was the person most to blame. That he seized the young man Piper in a desperate manner, threw him on the ground, and knelt on him. Sarah Piper, the mother of two of the defendants, said the policeman acted in a moss cruel manner towards her son. He was thrown down in front of her shop door, and he certainly did with an effort succeed in getting inside, but he did not touch the policeman. He ran into the shop, but my son went behind the counter, and after a short time the constable left the place but returned with another con stable in about a quarter of an hour and took the Bospen dicks into custody out of sheer revenge. Mr. Henry (to the constable)—Well, you have heard what the last witness has said. Do you wish to ask her any questions ? Constable (aftersome hesitation)—Well, no, yourworship; only she's spoken a great many falsehoods. Mr. Henry—l cannot allow you to make such a sweeping statement. Name one of the falsehoods out of the many you say she has told ? Constable—Well, I can't exactly say; but if Piper had gone away when I first told him— Mr. Henry—But what had he done. He had done nothing. It appears to me you have been much too eager and over zealous in the affair. The mother says you rushed into the shop and used the most unnecessary violence, and tore the boy's clothes to pieces. You could not have used more violence if you had been struggling with the greatest felon. How long have you been in the force ? Constable—Twelve months, and on the beat where the disturbance took place ever since the Ist of the month. My hat and coat were torn. Mr. Henry—You brought it all on yourself. Had you acted with less temper it would have been a great deal better for you. Constable—They dragged the prisoner Piper from me. Magirtrftto--Thoy who P I'll issue a summons for their attendance if you can give me the name or any person who did so. Constable—l can't tell who in particular; there was a great crowd. Mr. Henry—There is no pretence at all for to charge. ). discharge the whole of them. Mr. Lewis—Thank your worship. You see it is, ate" all, nothing more than two or three of the neighbours chattering together at their doors during the cool of the summer evening that has so incensed the constable. ~,.._ .. CORN EXCHANGE. Although only limited supplies of English wheat were on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and prices gave may fully Is. per quarter. All descriptions of spring corn were very dull, and rather drooping in value. In flour very little was noing. The foreign markets generally arc flat, and lower prices both for grain and flour come to hand from New York. Limited supplies of English produce were received up to our market last week. From abroad we received 21,757 quarters of wheat, 12,571 of baaley, 31,326 oats, 602 beans, 370 peas, 1,200 tares, 5 linseed, 2,120 oilseeds, 1,990 maize, 1,439 sacks, and 13,334 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were moderate, and the general condition of the samples was tolerably good. For both red and white qualities the trade was in a very sluggish state, and even at a decline compared with Monday last, of 2s per quarter, the trans actions were confined to immediate requirements. The show of foreign wheat was large, and to effect sales holders were compelled to submit to a reduction of is to 2s per quarter in the quotations, at which a moderate business was transacted. Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, and prices gave way Is to 2s per quarter. Very little English barley was on offer, but the supply of foreign was rather extensive. For all qualities the demand ruled heavy, at barely late rates. Malt was held at previous rates, but the demand for it _ _ _ was decidedly inactive. Oats moved off slowly, at a decline in their value of 6d per quarter. Beans were dull, and prices must be quoted is per guar. ter lower than on this day se'nnight. There were but few English peas on offer, which sold at about previous currencies. Foreign samples were dull, but without material change in value. The flour trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and prices in many instances further declined. CURRENCY PER IMPERTAL MEASURE.

There was rather an extensive supply of foreign stock here to-day, and sales progressed slowly, at reduced quota tions. Only a moderate supply of beasts, in fair average condition, reached us from our own grazing districts; nevertheless, it was fully equal to the demand, which ruled heavy, at Thursday's decline in the quotations of 4d per 81b. The top price was 4s 10d per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge we re ceived 2,200 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 650 Scots and crosses. There was no stock on offer from Ireland. We were somewhat heavily supplied with sheep, in im proved condition. Prime Downs and half breds moved off steadily at full prices, but other breeds were a dull inquiry, and in some instances 2d per 81b lower. The highest quotation for Downs was 5s 4d per 81b. Prime calves sold readily at full prices, but inferior lambs were very dull and lower to sell. There were 900 head on offer from Ireland.

CURIOUS DISCOVERY. — CharIes Harris, a respectable looking man, was charged with being on certain premises for the purpose of committing a felony. Madame Gold, of 26, Queen-street, Golden-square, said— I keep a lodging-house, and about two on Sunday morning I went down stairs to see that the gas was extinguished, when, hearing a noise, I opened the cellar door, and there, lying on a heap of coals, I found the prisoner. I asked what ho did there, when ho replied, " That's not your business ; and as there had been an attempt to get into her house a short time back, she gave him into custody. Prisoner—l went to see my wife, she lives there as ser vant. Mr. Mansfield—You could not expect to see your wife in .he coal cellar. Prisoner—She put me there because the missus was coming. _ _ A female here stepped forward, and said she was the prisoner's wife. Prosecutrix—You told me you was a widow, and that your name was Clark, and that you were going to be married. The female said she had done so, but she had been mar ried eight months, and had her certificate and her husband's discharge from the army. Mr. Mansfield discharged the prisonor. THAMES. SERIOUS CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A PUBLICAN.— George Speck, a well-dressed man about 40 years of age. the landlord of the Three Mariners public-house, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with violently assaulting John Nowlan, a police-constable, No. 286 K. The policeman stated that on Saturday night, at half past 12 o'clock, he was on duty in Three Colt-street, when the prisoner came up to him and said, "Are you the man that reported my house ?" to which ho replied in the affir mative. The prisoner said, " Yes, and I have had a sum mons about it to-day, and I insist upon your coming to my house to see me serve my waiting man with half a gallon of beer." He refused to go, and the prisoner then hit him on the breast. He took no notice of this, and recommended the prisoner to go home. The prisoner followed him, made use of abusive languge and struck him again. It was not until the third blow was given that he took the prisoner into custody. John Chadwick, 350 K, confirmed the evidence of Now lan. The prisoner, in an excited manner, said he had been badly treated by the police. He kept one house near St. Bartholomew's Hospital many years, another in the Isle of Dogs for thirteen years, and his present house for some time, and he had never been proceeded against until last week. The policeman reported his house because he gave half a gallon of beer to his waiter on Saturday week. He went to the same policeman on Saturday night. and asked him to come to his house and be a witness to serving his own waiter with refreshments. The policeman refused ; he raised his hands, and, in the excitement of the moment, did touch him, and that was all, upon which he was dragged to the station-house and used with great vio lence. His watch was broken, his waistcoat torn, and in the struggle which took place his money fell out of his pocket. The charge was as false as it was foul, and the policeman had told the most deliberate falsehood. Two witnesses were called, who fully confirmed the defence. Mr. Woolrych said he had no reason to discredit the policeman, and, believing the prisoner to have committed an assault, fined him 205., which he paid. STEAMSHIP-BUILDING ON THE CLYDE. The launch of the Scotia is expected to take place on the 25th inst. The Scotia, which will be a splendid addition to the Cunard line, is 366 feet long, 47} feet broad, and 33i feet deep ; her engines will be of 883 horse-power, and her bur den is 4,000 tons. Messrs. Napier and Sons have shipped on board H.M.S. Rhadamanthus a quantity of machinery , which they have constructed for one of the iron-cased fri gates. The engines are of 500 horse-power, with boilers, &c. Messrs. Tod and Isl‘Gregor have launched a screw of 200 tons intended to carry materials required in tho con struction of the lighthouse commenced at the Monarch Isles, near St. Kilda. Messrs. J. Reid and Co. have turned out a screw of 300 t o ns, named the Ma hal j , built for company in Bombay, and intended for the Indian coasting trade; she is Bitted with =gips of 40 horse -power. THIRD EDITfOIN. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS. -(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of KINNAIIID presented a petition against the Edinburgh Assessment Bill. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Rhyl Bridge, Workington Tidal Basin and Railway, and the Clifton Suspension Bridge Bills, were read a third time and passed. THE GALWAY CONTRACT. The Marquis of NORMANBY wished the noble lord to give a further explanation of the answer he had given to a quest'on he had put to him the other evening, especially as an idea somewhat different prevailed on the other side of the water. The noble lord had stated that no official correspondence existed between the Lord. Lieutenant of Ireland the Government on the subject of the Galway contract. He believed, however, there was a private cor respondence, and he should like to know , for certain whe ther that was the case. The noble lord then went on to complain of the observations made in the other House of Parliament by the Secretary for Ireland with respect to the authority of the Lot d Lieutenant of Ireland relative to the withdrawal of the contract. Earl GRANVILLE said he could only refer the noble marquis to the answer he had given on a former occasion, to the effect that there was no official correspondence be• tween the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and the home Government. There had, no doubt, been some communi cations with the lord-lieutenant on the subject, as he (Earl Granville) and the noble lord behind him (Lord Stanley of Alderley) and the Prime Minister had received letters from him touching the subject. He thought it would be highly inconsistent to enter into a discussion upon certain state ments in private communications. The Earl of CLANCARTY considered the manner in which the lord-lieutenant had been treated on the subject was lowering to the high office he held. He thought it ex traordinary that the noble earl the Viceroy should not have been officially consulted on such a very importint subject. The Earl of LEITRIM said he had no doubt it was very inconvenient to produce private communications. He thought it highly inconsistent that private correspondence . should take place on public subjects. He supposed, because that because a letter commenced "My dear lord," instead of "My lord," that the noble lord considered it a private communication. He denied that the Lord Lieutenant could lose his popularity by putting forth an opinion publicly, be cause he had none tolose. He considered the Lord Lieutenant was made use of by all parties that required him—he was made use of as the Merryandrew on all occasions. (Order, order.) 'Well, the n , h e was ma d e use of to increase the effect of any public show in which he was required. It was high time to decide whether the Government of Ireland was to be reformed or not. Lord PORTMAN rose to order. There really was no motion before the house. Lord BROUGHAM said the noble lord did not know that the noble earl was not going to conclude with a mo tion for a repeal of the union. (Laughter.) The subject then dropped. EDINBURGH ASSESSMENT BILL. This bill was read a second time. IRISH MAGISTRATES. The Earl of LEITRIM moved for returns giving the names of the police officers who have been appointed to be stipendiary magistrates during the years 1858, 1859, 1860, and 1861, showing the dates of their appointments as sti pendiary magistrates, the dates of their first appointment to the police, and their subsequent promotions in the police ; showing if each such officer underwent ar y examination, competitive or otherwise, previous to his appointment as sti pendiary magistrate; and distinguishing such as have been recommended by the lieutenant of the county to which he is appointed, The return was ordered. EXCISE AND STAMPS BILL. This bill, after a few observations from Lord BROUGHAM, was read a second time. COMMITTEES. The following bills passed through committee :—The Public Offices (Extension) ; Burford's Charities ; Reading Charities; Temple Balsall Hospital; and Guildford Hospi tal. THE EAST INDIA LOAN BILL. This bill was read a first time. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Leeds and Ealand Road ; Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway (additional works) ; Midland Railway (additional powers) ; Wycombe Railway (extensions), The Hawick Police and Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Colne Valley and Halstead Railway ; Dunblane, Doune, and Callander Railway Bill (Lords) ; Forest of Dean Central Railway ; Great Southern and Western Railway, (Capital, &c.) ; Hatfield Chase Warping and Improvement; Leigh District Gas ; Lynn and Sutton Bridge Railway ; South Staffordshire Railway ; Worcester, Bromyard, and Leominster Railway ; Hammersmith, Paddington, and City Junction Railway; and West London Extension Railway. Mr. R. HODGSON moved that the committee on group 15 C of railway bills have liberty to proceed with the Carlisle and Silloth Bay Railway and Dock Bill upon Tuesday, the 18th of June, notwithstanding that two clear days' notice thereof had not been given to the clerks in the Private Bill-office.—Agreed to. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented - praying for the restora tion of the Galway contract, against the Irremovable Poor Bill, for an improvement in the Irish poor law, for the selec tion of Bantry Bay as a packet stationfor postal cemmunica tion with America, for the abolition of church rates, in favour of one of the vacant seats being given to one of the cootoh unir.rvatie., ko. APPOINTMENTS IN INDIA. Sir M. FARQUHAR moved an address for copy of opi nions recorded by members of the Council of India in 1860, on the directions for the preparation of a bill to confirm certain appointments in India, and to amend the law con cerning the civil service there. REFUSAL TO ADMIT PAUPERS INTO THE WHITECHAPEL WORKHOUSE. Lord R. CECIL asked the President of the Poor Law Board whether his attention had been called to the case of two poor women brought up before the Worship-street Police-court on Friday last, who had been found in a state of great destitution on the pavement in front of the Whitechapel Workhouse, having been refused admis sion by the master, and to the remarks of Mr. Knox, the police magistrate, who is reported to have said that such cases were of constant occurrence; and whether he had caused any inquiry to be made ? Mr. VILLIERS said that he instructed the Poor-law inspector of the district to make inquiries into the subject, and he found that the magistrate said he had been incor rectly represented. It was true that two women had been taken to the Whitechapel workhouse, and they were not admitted because there was no room in the establishment for their reception; but it was not correct that no reason had been assigned for the refusal to receive these women. The person in authority at the workhouse deposed to this matter on oath, and said that whenever it was practicable persons brought by the police to the Whitechapel Workhouse for relief were admitted. IRREMOVABLE POOR BILL. Mr. CAYLEY asked the President of Poor-law Board if he would appoint a day on which the Irremovable Poor Bill might be expected to come on at a reasonable hour? Mr. VILLIERS said that he would introduce this bill on the earliest possible occasion, he hoped on the 25th or 28th instant. TURNPIKES. Mr. ALCOCK ask;dll;Secrelttriof State for the Home Department if the bills, the annual Continuation. Acts of i Turnpikes, were ready, and when they would b 3 brought n ? Sir G. C. LEWIS said these bills were being prepared and would be shortly introduced. OFFICERS OF THE BOMBAY ARMY. Sir A. BULLER asked the Secretary of State for India, in reference to the registered list of officers of the Bombay Army serving in Bengal, who have been recommended for brevet majorities on attaining the rank of regimental captains, why whose officers of the Bombay Army now serv ing in the Bombay Presidency, and who have been equally recommended for the same reward, have not also been pub licly registered ? Sir C. WOOD explained that in order to be entitled to the distinction in question it was necessary that an officer should be recommended by his commander-in-chief. IRON-CLAD SHIPS AND ORDNANCE IMPROVE- MENT. Mr. WATLINGTON asked the Secretary to the Admi ralty whether it was true that certain improvements in the construction of iron-clad ships and in the working of their guns, proposed by Mr. Hamilton, had been lately under con sideration of the Board of Admiralty for two months,and had been rejected by the board; and, whether there was any objection to lay copies of the reports and correspondence of those officials who had been charged with the examination of the said improvements before the house ? Lord C. PAGET said that Mr. Hamilton had made two propositions, one improvement in the working of guns, and another for the construction of iron-cased vessels. Neither of these were considered by the Admiralty efficient. BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BILL. In reply to Mr. HADFIELD, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that he had no means of communicating with her Majesty's Government in regard to this bill since it had been altered in the Upper House, but the bill had been dealt with in -(Cries of " Order, order.") The SPEAKER said that the hon. and learned gentle man was out of order, as the bill had not come down from the House of Lords. ffilEibiNiisiiilXHlßlTlON AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. In reply to Sir G.

Should those negotiations take place the result will be the recognition de facto of the Italian kingdom, composed of the provinces and of the Sta tes which have been placed under the sceptre of his Majesty King Victor Emmanuel consequent upon events on which France has now no opinion to express, but which have been accomplished under favour of the principle of non-intervention recognized by Eur ope. , " The renew a l o f dipl oma ti c re l a ti ons withlurin would not imply, on the part of France, as regards the policy of th e It a li an Ki ng d om , any j u d g ment on the past, or any res p ons ibilit y f or t h e f u t ur e. It would show that the de facto Government of this new State is sufficiently established for it to be possible to entertain international relations with it, which the interest of the two countries imperiously demand. "France, by her new attitude, would not pre tend to interfere in any manner in the internal or external affairs of the Italian kingdom, which re mains sole judge of its conduct, as it is master of its future and of its destinies. It would act towards it as one day the great European Powers will act in the American question, by recognising the new republic of the Southern States when that republic shall have constituted a Government on a basis which will allow international relations to be en tertained with it of advantage to general in teres.ts." TRO.VPSON'S BOAT-BUILDING MACHINES. On Saturday an opportunity was afforded to a limited number of gentlemen of inspecting the apparatus invented by Mr. Nathan Thompson, of New York, for the building of boats by machinery, and erected by him at Old Ford, Bow. In no department of human activity has the talent of the Americans been more conspicuous than in the con struction of machinery and its adaptation to the ordinary arts of life. Hitherto it was considered that the curvilinear form of a boat's timbers, and the great variety of angular shaped pieces required in the construction, presented insurmountable obstacles to the application of machinery to boat building. These obstacles seem, however, to have been completely overcome by Mr. Thompson, who, after many years' study and labour, has invented thirteen machines for forming and fashioning gun wales, floor timbers, cants, keels, stern, stern posts, knees, transoms, and all the variety of forms and angles, and bevelling of every width and taper that are required, in order to build up boats and yachts of every variety and description. The machines invented by Mr. Thompson are of the most inge nious description, and appear to be endowed with almost intelligence, so marvellously and so accu rately do they manipulate the timber required for boat building. There are in the Royal Navy and mercantile marine about 40 descriptions of boats, and there is not one of them but may be produced by these machines, so that the scope of their useful ness is not merely confined to any pattern or design. When all the machines are at work together, and the processes can be carried on in a consecutive manner, so that every part of the boat is being simul taneously manufactured the saving in the cost labour as calculated by the master shipwright at Woolwich will be in the proportion of 7 to 32, while the good character and accuracy of the workmanship are secured by this employment of machinery. The advantage which must result from building boats where every portion may be made in duplicate, and where repairs may be readily effected in a time of emergency, must strike every person as being scarcely less important than the economy of production and the excellence:of the workmanship by these means. One of Mr. Thompson's most ingenious machines is the "drunken saw," so called, no doubt, from its eccentric motion. It is a circular cutter, but so adjusted on a screw axis as to have, when in action what may be called a" wabbling" movement, and in the course of its eccentricities it cuts laterally as well as longitudinally, and the effect is to form what is known as a groove or" rabbit" in the tim ber with extraordinary accuracy. The use to which this machine is applies: in connection with the boats is for making the gratings, and the saving of time and of manual labour in this part of the work is very great. The " drunken saw" can easily do the work of 40 men. A scarcely less useful and clever machine is one for giving the required bend and curve of the planking for the ship's side, which is done to the most perfect nicety by a combination of knives or cutters fixed on two rollers, the upper being conca-,e, and the lower one convex. An oak plank, passing under this operation, i s brought into the required shape as rapidly as an ordinary planing machine, which finishes o f a plain surface, n a k n an d in o th s e tr b a o in a i t n . g T is h r e e r q e u i i s re a d d i n orde r cutter for order to fix t the proper bevel edge to the timbers, which giving ichisalso very clever; and another very power ful and complicated arrangement for cutting the rabbits for the plank to be fitted to the stern posts and portion of keel. The machinery for bending the timber in order to form th e r ib s i s so constructed as to give every possible curva t ure t h at may be re quired in any part of a boat, whether for a small lugger or a yacht of 150 t ons, and of the finest pos sible lines. By the aid o f a ll th ese mec h an i ca l applications, a cutter, 32 feet in length, 7ft. 3in. in beam, was, and may again be completed easily in ten hours. It appears that there are some 25,000 boats built every year in this country, and it may readily be imagined that there is ample scope for building boats by machinery. When on a visit to France for a short time, the attention of Mr. Thompson was directed by the Emperor to the possibility of constructing boats which would afford greater facilities for the landing of troops on an enemy's coast, and the result has been the production of a " folding boat," which will occupy a very small space on board ship, and which may be opened out with great rapidity and adapted for the conveyance of 50 or 75 men in . e of A commission, appointed by the ()overfl n' the United States, reported very favourablynci Thompson's machinery in 1859 . , a e d most flatter arrival in this country he has obtainau authorities, off ing testimonials from the highest sof Mr. cial, naval, and scientifie.„---- MORNING. —About orpFilißrgcswrohoilke-street, Grosvenor- square, Constable Clancoat, 100 two D o E ,c s l T oc it k uC thi r -----— ' llB I:: C, was on duty in tr i PPe. _ BC I - 1% t a h t e onc from the doorway of N 39, • thheepherocuseieveodf smo ke xr r t. o John wasassunitmDgaiienklyirndiensoentr,rFeonr.Sttha..

A fire also occurred about the same time at the house of Messrs. Wale and Co., grocers, corner of Crown-court, Soho, in the upper part of which house several families re sided, but all of Whom fortunately escaped. The fire was principally confined to the shop and cellar, in which the outbreak occurred. We believe both parties were insured. Another fire occurred at a furniture shop in Upper Kenning ton-lane, on Friday night, about seven o'clock, which would have been attended with great destruction cf property had it not been for the providential circumstance of Police-con stable Kennedy of the L Division, who happened to be passing at the time. He observed smoke issuing from the cellar and immediately gave the alarm. The engines shortly afterwards arrived, and the fire was got under before much damage was done. This is the third time this active officer has been the means of saving property.
