MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur day was very slow. The tendency of prices was, in some instances in favour of buyers, but the variations from the previous week were not important. Good and fine malting barley was in improved request, at full quotations; but in other articles very little was doing. On the continent, the corn trade generally is slow, and the amount of business d ,ing in produce at Navy York for export to Great Brita'n is very moderate. But moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 28,812 quarters of wheat, 13,765 qrs barley, 122,218 qrs oats, 850 qrs rye, 700 qrs beans, 1,003 qrs peas, 210 qrs tares, 3,161 qrs linseed, 1,183 qrs rapeseed, 5,810 qrs maize, 640 qrs sundry seeds, and 500 sacks of flour. Fr_sh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat was very moderate. Included in the supply were a few parcels left over from last week; but although the number of samples on the stands was tolerably large the quantity of produce represented was by no means ex tensive. Ia prices, compared with Monday last, no altera tion took place, ; The market was well supplied with most descriptions o foreign wheat, The slight tendency to improvement in the market for home-grown produce lea holders to demand full prices for all qualities; but the trade during the whole of business hours having presented a quiet appearance, The business transacted was at last Friday's currency.

The amount of business transacted has con sequently been much restricted, and at prices showing a reduction, compared with the late highest point, of, in most instances, 3d per lb. For colonial wool, by private contract, the trade has ruled heavy, and the quotations have had a drooping tendency. The arrivals from the Cape and Aus tralian colonies, since the close of the public sales, have been large, amounting to 53,906 bales. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was a large supply of foreign stock on sale in our market to-day, but its general quality was inferior, Sales, therefore, progressed slowly at barely stationary prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grczing districts were only moderate, and nearly all breeds came to hand in middling condition. Prime Scots, crosses, Here fords, Devons, and short horns mov€d off steadily at full quotations, but inferior teaks met a dull inquiry at last week's currency. The best Scots and crosses realised 5s 4d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton. shire we received 2,600 short horns, &o. ; from other parts of England 9CO various breeds, from Scotland 43 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 550 oxen and heifers. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with sheep, the quality of which was by no means prime. For Downs and half-breds, as well as for the best Lincoln?, Leicesters, &c., there was a good demand at fully previous rates ; otherwise the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at about stationary prices, the top figure was os 8d per Blbs. . _ _ Calves—the supply of which was moderate—were in fair request on former terms, viz., from 4s to 5s per Blbs.

On Saturday: night the complainant, after a fatiguing day and visits to a great many patients, had lain down on a sofa to seek a little repose, when he heard a loud knock at his door. On opening it ho saw the prisoner, who re quested him to vioit a patient who had fallen down an area, broken his neck, and was on the point of death. Mr Grant observing that the prisoner was in liquor, said he could not leave home until a fee of ss. was paid. The prisoner said that the money would be paid directly the surgeon reached the house where the patient was. Mr Grant refused to leave home without his fee at such a late hour, and the prisoner became very noisy and violent, and attacked Mr Grant. He struck him and seized him by the throat, and, according to Mrs Grant's account, her husband was nearly strangled. The whole household, including Mr Grant's sister, brother, and wife, who were all injured, were barely sufficient to secure the prisoner, who was ulti mately given into the cust o d y o f West, 153 K, who observed blood on the neck of t h e su rgeon. The constable walked the prisoner about t hi r ty yards towards the station-house, when he b eca me very violent. struck the constable on the face, aiad laid on the ground. In this position the prisoner remained for half-an-hour until other police constables arrived, and car ried him to the stationhouse. In answer to Mr Paget, the constable said no serious accident took place. He saw the man said to be injured. He was not injured. . . Mr Paget said no one had any right to knock at a gen tleman's door, because he happened to be a surgeon, and demand him to visit a patient elsewhere. Medical men generally did leave home and visit patients when called upon to do so, but there was no legal couipulsion. He could not blame Mr Grant for refusing to leave home without his fee on the invitation of a drunken man. He fined the prisoner 20a, which he paid. THE OFFICE OF SHERlFF.—Whatever might be the condition of things if it were impossible to find men willing to accept the office of Sheriff, it is very certain that soc'.ety is under deep obligations to tho se who acce p t the office, for it is an integral part of the f ree constitution, under the shadow of which we enjoy our liberties and con solidate our wealth and power, The Sheriffs begin their official career by assisting at the election of a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, so that the r epresentatives of loyal and royal authority bring, as it were, the Queen's crown and the statutes of the realm to bear witness to the invalidity of the aspirations of independent citizenship. But it is not merely as the Shiro reeve, the representatives of royal power and prerogative, the intermediaries between the king and the people, that we know the sheriffs best in these days, any more than we first think of them as public executioners, because charged occasionally with the responsible duty of disposing of a human life. It is as almoners, and as themselves fountains of almonry, that in these piping times of peace and prosperity and content we best know of the existence and movements of the sheriffs. Our love of organization is such, that, when we have exhausted our powers of invention in the organization of charities,we at last make a despe ra t e c l utc h at so me venerable leg al office, and load it with r es p ons ibili t i es t ou ching bread,coals , and blankets, the care of orph ans , idi ots, juvenile offenders , and other active and p ass i ve c l a i mants for charity, for whom there are spl en did organisations nevertheless.

CONFEDERATE RIFLES.—.A correspondent with was s p n ti o o n n e o t f o bl as whomsen a I , General Sherman's army writea—., The Whitworth rifle in use by the rebel skirmishers and sharpshooters is a weapon greatly to be feared, as persons ne ar l y a mile and a halt from the rebel skirmish line have been wounded when they thought themselves safe from anything except solid shot and ehell. Ono soldier was standing upon a log crossing a creek, about one mile and a quarter from the nearest rebel line of rifle-pits, and a comrade was talking with him, when one of these fatal messengers came crashing through b th thighs, and with this mortal wound ho sank i n t o th e water. An officer speaking of it says, ' They break the bone of a man's limb like a solid shot from a cannon.' Rebel deserters say that each division of the rebel front is furnished with about 50 of these rifles, which are used in their skirmish line," E trly on Saturday morning two gunpowder magazines, situated on the southern bank of the Thames between Woolwich and Erith, exploded with terrific violence, kildog eight or nine persons, if not more, wounding others, and carrying conster nation and alarm among the inhabitants of the whole neighbourhood for miles round. ...Although the scene of the catastrophe is distant about 15 miles from Charing-cross, the explosion was heard and felt more or less throughout the whole me tropolis, and even at places 40 and 50 miles from the spot. There is nothing in modern times to compare with the calamity in the feeling of wide spread terror which it produced, or ie the ins. tense interest which it has since excited, unless it be the memorable explosion at Gateshead-upon- Tyne, some eight or ten years ago. At first the prevailing idea was that the inhabitants of the metropolis and its suburbs had experienced the shock of an earthquake, but that notion was speedily dispelled, and by noon on Saturday the exact nature of the catastrophe and its locality were pretty generally known through out London. Later in the day the evening papers appeared, containing accounts of the matter, and were sold in incredible numbers ; but thousands of people, impatient to know the real truth, had rushed down to the scene itself by railway in the afternoon, to learn it for themselves on the spot. By the evening, therefore, it was the theme of every tongue, and probably for years past no intelligence of any domestic event has occasioned a more start ling sensation. Tee explosion occurred in a gunpowder depot be longing to Messrs. John Hall and Sons, and almost simultaneously in a magazine of smaller size used by Messrs. Daye and Barker, both of them located in the Piumstead-marshes on the margin of the Thames, two miles west of Etith, and about an equal distance from the village of Belvedere, on the North Kent Railway. Here, on about 20 acres of ground, separated for obvious reasons from the rest of the neighbouring inhabitants, but in the imme diate vicinity of the ecene of their daily labour, lived a few workingmen with their families in three cottages engaged in a perilous calling. One was George Rayner, who acted as store keeper in the depot of Messrs. Hall, and who was a married man with a family, and another named Walter Silver, also married, acted in a similar capacity under Messrs. Daye and Barker. Each of these hed a cottage to hima self about 100 or 200 yards from the magazines, and the rest, who were men employed in the larger depot, occupied a cottage in common. The Messrs. Hall have been engaged in the business of fabricating gunpowder for more than 50 years, and have exe cie.ed large contracts ft om time to time, both for our and many foreign Governments. They have a large factory in the neighbourhood of Faversham, in Kent, occupying about 200 acres of ground, part of the works at which were erected in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. There the work of manufacturing and packing gunpowder is conducted by a body of trained artisans, with all the safeguards and pre cautions suggested by experience, and within the last few years the proprietors have purchased a large tract of adjacent land in order the more com pletely to seclude their operations from the habita tions of men. Their magazine at Belvedere was a substantial building, about 50 feet square, and con sisting of two floors. It was erected five or six years ago, at a cost of about £3,000, and around it were 18 acres of land, with the view to isolate the build ing. For miles at that part of the river there is an embankment, which protects the low lying marshes from inundation. Bath their depot and that of Messrs. Day° and Barker stood close behind the embankment, and each had a wooden jetty pro jecting into the river, to facilitate the loading and unloading of gunpowder. The quantity of gunpowder stored in Messrs. Hall's magazine at the time of the explosion and in two of their barges which lay elf the jetty is variously estimated at between less than 2,000 and 1,000 barrels, each barrel containing 1001 b. They themselves state that there were about 750 barrels in the depot and perhaps 200 more in the barge. The quantity in the magazines of Messrs. Daye and Baker has not been ascertained. It should be understood that these were places used entirely for the storage of gunpowder and in no sense for its manufacture, and that nano but experienced men were employed at them. Rayner had been the storekeeper there of Messrs. Hall for 12 years, and accustomed to the manipulation of gunpowder from his boyhood. He was an intelligent and most Efficient mar, and they had complete confidence in him. Between their mills at Faversham and the magazine at Belvedere, a distance of about 30 miles, the gun powder is conveyed in sailing barges, each of them navigated usually by a couple of men, and two of these, as has been stated, were moored alongside the jetty on Saturday morning discharging cargo. The gunpowder, carefully packed in barrels, is borne on trucks with copper wheels along wooden rails, in order to preclude the possibility cf a spark from friction, and the operation is conducted with other precautions, such as the wearing of list slippers by the men engaged in it. By common consent, the explosion occurred at between 18 and 20 minutes before 7 o'clock in the morning, and it is presumed that Messrs. Hall's men were then unloading one of the barges. A clock in the house of Mr. Henry Hall, at South Darenth, about three miles from Dartford and seven from the powder magazines, was stopped by the explosion itself at precisely 18 minutes to 7. There were three distinct explosions immediately following each other, and the belief of persons conversant with the trade is that the first took place on board one of the barges; that the terrific concussion produced by it tore asunder the larger magazine, and some of the burning fragments alighting in it caused an explosion infinitely more appalling, and which was instantaneously followed by the explosion of the smaller depot. At Erith and Belvedere, where the shock was most felt, the feeling produced by it is described as awful beyond description. At Woolwich, about four miles off, the first impression was that the powder works in the Arsenal had exploded, and the wives and families of the artisans at work there rushed to the spot in a state of consternation. They were not allowed to enter the plane, and they stood terror-stricken in the square in front. Shortly after the explosion showers of letters, invoices, and other papers, which had been borne on the wind a distance of four miles, fell within the precincts of the Arsenal, and clearly indicated the scene of the catastrophe, but it was long before the people outside could be persuaded that their re latives were safe. Immediately after the calamity an immense pillar of smoke rose from the spot high into the air, thick, black, and palpable, with a huge spreading top, and about a quarter of an hour elapsed before it died away. So soon as it was sup posed to be safe to do so people from Erith and Bel vedere proceeded to the spot and ventured to explore the ruins in search of any one that might be livin: Of the magazines themselves not a single stone re , mained upon another, the very foundations being torn up, and the cite of that of Messrs Hlll was marked by huge fissures and chasms in the earth, turned. The cottage in which they lived is simply a ruin, and the whole immediate neighbourhood is covered with the debris of the fallen buildings. Those of the sufferers, nine in number, who were still living were conveyed with as much care and speed as possible to Guy's Hospital. ole of them died shortly after admission, the lives of two others were despaired of, and it is apprehended that tte men in charge of the barges have perished, for they were missing up to yesterday. The yawning gap in the embankment, about 100 yards in width, next demanded attention, and most fortunately Mr. Lewis G. Moore, an engineer connected with the Thames Embankment, and who resides at Erith, at once perceiv, d and appreciated the emergency. Luckily, it was dead low water at the time of the explosion, but still only about four hours were available for the rough repair of the damage against the approaching tide. A message was sent by Mr Moore to Mr Houghton, one of the contractors under the Metropolitan Board of Works, at Crossness Point, about a couple of miles off, and within 20 minutes after wards he had arrived upon the scene with 400 navvies, with all their to Is and barrows. A communication was also forwarded to the garrison at Woolwich, and by half-past 9 o'clock detachments of Sappers and Miners and Artillery. to the number of about 1,500, under the command of Gen. Warde and Colonel Hawkins, reached the spot with all the necessary implements, and set about the repair of the breach with great good will, and after the true method of military engineering. They were followed speedily by the sth Fusileers, who kept the ground from intrusion, and later in the day by the Marines, both from the garrison at Woolwich. Before the troops arrived, the navvies, acting under Mr Houghten and Mr Moore, wheeled large masses of clay in front of the breach, while others puddled it into a solid bottom, by which means the subsequent military operations were facilitated. On their arrival the Sappers and Miners made horizrntal arches at the back of the breach with bags of clay one upon another, and layers of earth in tervening, these arches presenting a formidable front to the advancing tide, while the rest of the gap was being filled up and puddled by the navvies. Time was precious and there was a scarcity of barrows ; but the troops, adapting them selves to the emergency, formed themselves into lines from places where clay was available, and passed it along in lumps, from hand to hand, to the point of operations with great ease and rapidity. About half-past 1 o'clock, when near high water, the work became extremely exciting. The whole force contended with the advancing tide inch by inch; knowing that, if it once made a breach, the repair of the mischief would be vastly more difficult than the work in which they were then engaged, By 3 o'clock the embank ment was restored in this rough and ready; but most effi cient, manner, and the crisis had passe'. It withstood the succeeding tide, and was exposed to a severer trial in that of yesterday, which, with a stiff north-easterly breeze, beat heavily against it for a couple of hours. At one time, apprehensions as to its safety existed, and a party of Sappers and Miners, who had been telegraphed for, arrived from Woolwich to assist in the emergency. In case of failure, Mr Moore had taken the precaution to send for about a dozen barges, with a view to have them loaded with clay and then scuttled in front of the breach as a kind of breakwater ; but fortunately occasion did not arise for the expedient being carried into effect. He spe,ks in enthusiastic terms of the hearty co-operation of General arde and Colonel Haw kins on the occasion, and of the practical energy shown by the troops. In the course of the afternoon of Saturday Captain Harris, Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, went down to the spot with a detachment of the A Division ef police, and yesterday again a still stronger force were on duty there aiding the local constabularly. The damage done at Erith in particular in the way of broken glass and the injury to property in other respects is lamentably great, and a public meeting of the inhabitants has been convened for this afternoon to decide upon some course of action in the emergency. There is scarcely a house in the place the windows of which have not been shattered less or more, and. the inhabitants are experi encing much inconvenience. The windows of the old parish church have been blown in among the rest, as have also those in particular of a whole row of houses, 20 or 30 in number, situated on the brow of a hill Lading to Bexley and belonging to Mr. Everett. The explosion was heard and felt at Uxbridge, about 30 miles off, and at Windsor, Taddington, and many other distant places. Mr. William Hall, the principal partner of the firm whose property has been destroyed, felt the concussion a t the residence of Sir Norton Knatchbull, at which he was staying, in the neigh bourhood of Ashford, and about 50 miles distant from the spot. For some minutes after the explosion the earth heaved and trembled with the effects of it in and about Erith and Belvedere, and the people were appalled and terror• stricken At Woolwich the usual drills and barrack duties were on Saturday dispensed with as far as practicable, for the pur pose of rendering all possible aid to the sufferers from the ex plosion. The effects in the garrison and town were destructive. The windows in the official departments, at private resi dences, and shops were shatter. d ; frames and sashes were dashed in, and several persons were severely injured, In many houses ceilings and portions of the walls were:shaken down, and people rushed from their houses in dismay. The whole of the medical staff of the garticon and town hastened to the scene to render their assistance. Dr Dora ville, of the flagship Fisgard, who was the first to reach the place, was pulled down the river to the immediate locality in the ship's cutter. In the shock many persons were thrown violently from their beds to the floor and their beds shook like ships at sea. In the Arsenal and dockyard serious fears were entertained that the large workshops would fall in, so great and violent was the concussion felt by the Levo shocks immediately fol lowing each other. In connection with the showers of paper a remarkable circumstance occurred. A lad named Eaves was standing near the Royal gun facto ries, in which ho is employed, and picked up one of the torn pieces of paper which fell around him. lie found it to be part of the page of a ledger, in which his uncle, a foreman in the employment of Mr Hall, had that morning entered a memorandum. He had attached his signature at the foot, together with the date of the entry—namely, October 1, 1864. Ihe shock of the explosion was distinctly felt in every part of Chatham and Rochester, which are dis tant about 25 miles from the scene of the disaster. In Chatham dockyard the windows of nearly every part of the building were shaken and doors were krced open. The cloud of smoke which followed the explosion was distinctly visible from Fort Pitt and the Chatham Lines, and until the telegramsconveying intelligence of the occurenco arrived a general opinion was entertained that the Government powder magazines at Puffiest had exploded. The shock of the explosions was felt most severely in the more elevated portions of the neighbourhood. At Deptford, in the workshops of Mr. Stone, a large navy contractor, which are under the arches of the railway there, the gaslights, to the number of about 150, were blown out simultaneously by the explosion. Sergeant Cox. of the police division stationed at Erith, gives the following narrative of the circumstances :—He was getting up when he heard the explosion, He ran out and found all the back windows were broken, the sashes as well as the glasses. He looked in the direction whence the sound proceeded, and imagining from the smoke that one of the magazines had exploded, he went back, and, having quieted the fears of hie wife, proceeded to the scene cf the disaster, procuring assistance by the way. Mr Churton and Mr Tipple, two medical gentlemen of the vicinity, were on the spot almost as soon as the police, awl, with Mr Matthewson and other surgeons, did all that was possible for the sufferers. On arriving at the spot, having literally picked his way through the heaps of rubbish and masses of stones and brick that had been strewn about by the explosion, Sergeant Cox found the body of Mr Geo. Rayner in his own garden. He was much cut about the face, as if by splinters, and the back part of the head over the left ear was cut open, the brain protruding. He was quite dead. Sergeant Cox next saw Rebecca Wright, who was removed as soon as possible, under the care of the medi cal men. A son of Rayner, names Oliver, was next dis covered. His head was smashed in a fear:lll manner, and death must have been qui . e instantaneous. Elizabeth Wright, aged _l3 years, a daughter of the poor veoe,:an previously mentioned, was next found, and she wag carefully removed to Guy's Hospital, but died a f ew minutes after her admisyion. She bad sustained a compound fracture of the skull, a fracture of the left thigh, and was severely burnt on the chest and upper extremity of th e body, The bodies of Rayner and his son were removed to the Belvedere Hotel, and placed in a shed to await the coroner's inquest, and shortly after the body of a man, ap parently ab ut GO years of ago, was found in the mud of the river, and conveyed to the same place. Yesterday thousands upon thousands of people of visited the scene of the catastrophe, travelling mostl y by the North Kent Railway, and it required the aid of a strong body of police at the Erith and Belvedere Stations to maintain order and prevent accident. Long after dark the platform and grounds of the Belve dere and Erith Station were crowded with thousands of people waiting to be conveyed homewards. At 11 o'clock the trains were coming in rapidly to Lon don-bridge, the passengers by which reported that a large number of persons were sill waiting down the line.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ATTEMPT TO ROB MESSRS HUNT AND ROSKELL Thomas Johnson, a young man wearing a moustache, and who refused his address, but described himself as a mason, was charged befare Mr Tyrwhitt with being found on the roof of the premises of Mc ssrs Hunt and Roskell, jewellers, 156, New Bond-stret, for the purpose of committing a felony. Mr Edward Lewis, of Groat Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. William Mitchell, porter in the service of Messrs Hunt and Itoakell, said—On Saturday evening, between 7 and 8 o'clock, I was informed that a man was on the roof of the premises. I got assistance and proceeded to the roof, and after searching about for some time saw a dark object, which I at first thought WAS a dog, but afterwards found was the prisoner, on his hands and knees, looking through the sky light on the leads of a showroom. As soon as the prisoner saw me he rose up, and I then seized him by the collar and took him down, and gave him into custody for trying to rob the house. The prisoner said he intended no harm, and that he was going farther on. By Mr Lewis—lt was on the roof of one of the show rooms. Tho prisoner did not deny he had been to see a female on an adjoining house. Mr T 3 rwhitt—Ara the premises apart from the house ? Witness—They are, but there is access from one place to the other. Another person in Messrs Hunt and Roskell's employ gave similar evidence. Mr Tyrwhitt, addressing the last witness, said—lt is pretty well known that you have valuable property in the place, and why do you not have the top railed round so as to prevent persons getting on the roof. You have means enough to do so. Inspector Silverton, C division—l- received the prisoner in custody on Saturday evening, and on being told that he had been found on the roof, I examined the place and found he had entered from Barlow-mews, at least 100 yards dis tant—a girl, who was not then present, but would attend, having seen him climbing . up by means of a water pipe in the mews. Tha prisoner had left his hat on the parapet of the wall where be just got up, and then proceeded some hundreds of yards over roofs to get at the skylight, and I traced marks from one place to the other. I also found an adjoining window open. Oa asking the prisoner his name he said it was Thomas Johnson, but he refused his address I wish for a remand, as 1 shall be able to give more evidence on a future occasion. Mr Lewis—l do not know whether your worship con siders there ought to be another examination.
