MARKETS-Th 4 Dayf MARK-LANE. The demand for wheat in. the country markets, held on Saturday, ruled heavy, and prices declined is par quarter. For barley, oats, beans, and peas, however, the trade was firm, and the quotations had an upward tendency. The flour trade was quiet, at about stationary prices. Advices from Amulet' report a considerable fall in the value of wheat and flour, With a limited export inquiry for both articles. On the continent wheat Is somewhat droop ing in price, but most other articles rule firm. The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last week, were moderate for the time of year. The imports from abroad consisted of 20,760 quarters of wheat; 3,423 barley ; 53,524 oats ; 825 beans ; 1,430 peas ; 5,615 linseed ; 13,223 oilseeds; 3,000 maize; 150 sundry seeds; 991 sacks and 1,472 barrels of flour. About 500 quarters of new home-grown wheat were re ceived at our market to-day. The Talavera wheats on sale were of but middling quality, and were by no means equal in condition to last year's produce. Rough-chaff wheat, howeva., came to hand in excellent condition. The supply of old wheat on the stands was but mode rate, but the quality of the produce was good. Both for red and white qualities the trade was dull, and, compared with Monday last, a reduction of is to 2s per quarter took place in prices. Now Talavera wheat sold at 503, and new white rough chaff at 42s to 48s per quarter. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was mode rately large. All descriptions sold heavily, and prices de clined is per quarter, compared with Monday last. Floating cargoes of wheat were in limited request, at barely late rates. Spring corn, however, afloat, supported previous rates, There were a few parcels of new Kentish barley on the stands—quality, almost generally thin and sleety. The best samples realised 37s 6d, whilst business was done in secondary parcels at 36s per qr. For old home-grown arid foreign barley the trade was steady, and prices ruled tolerably firm. Malt was in moderate request, at the rates current on Monday last. _ The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. Both English and foreign descriptions were in steady request, at full quotations. The few beans of English growth on offer, changed hands at fully late rates.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up were large and of prime quality. From Ireland and Scotland the supplies were small. Good and prime beasts sold somewhat steadily, but at a slight reduction in value. Inferior breeds were very dull, and 2d per 81bs lower. The general top figure for beef was 4s 10d; but a very few superior Scots found buyers at Os per Blbs.

Her excuse was that she had got up to assist the first servant- He then gave directions for the third servant to be called, and she instantly also walked upstairs fully attired. This seemed to astonish him much. Prosecutor was perplexed what to do or how to act, till he heard a rustling noise about the house. He went to ascertain the cause of this, and discovered the first prisoner behind a curtain, the second under a table in the library, and the third in an upstairs room. The police were called in, and they were given into custody. They begged to be allowed to go. The prisoners now said that they had been admitted by the servants. Mr Yardley—You were then courting them at a most improper hour. What business had you to invade this gentleman's house at such an hour ? You ware there im properly and immorally. I order each of you to enter into recognizances to be of good behaviour for the future. The prcsoeutor said he had sent his three servants away. The three prisoners work at Messrs.

BON-STREET• SAVAGE ASSAULT ST A Gto arinsla.AN.—llanry Procter, a private in the let battalion of Coldstream Guards, was placed at the bar charged with assault. Police-constable 60 A, said last night (Sunday) he was erosaing the Green-park in plain clothes, when he heard a loud scream and cry of murder. He ran towards the spot from whence the cry seemed to proceed, and there found the prisoner struggling with a female. The prisoner immediately he (witness) came up struck him a blow inthe face, and then asked him what he had to do with the matter. He then told him he came to protect the woman from his violence, and that he should take him to the station-house. A struggle ensued, and he (witness) having nothing to pro tect himself, being off duty and in plain clothes, he remained with the prisoner for about ten minutes, waiting for a policeman, when prisoner took off his belt and struck him a blow with it. The constable on duty on Constitu tion-hill then came up, and witness told him to take the prisoner to the station for assaulting him. The female did not attend to make a charge against the man. He, witness, did not tell the prisoner he was a police-constable. On the way to the station the prisoner produced a two shilling piece, and told the constable who had him in custody that he (witness) had given it to him for a bad pur pose. The accusation was entirely groundless. Police-constable 179 A, said he took the prisoner into custody. He did not knew until the charge was being en wred at the station-house that the person he assaulted was the constable. He confirmed the assertion of the last wit ness witii respect to the two-shilling piece. The prisoner denied that he took off his belt. Police-constable 179 A said while he was conveying the prisoner to the station he said the same thing, but a young man who was walking with them said, " Yes, you did." Brown said h© did not know the man he had struck was a policeman. A sergeant from the prisoner's regiment said he was habitually absent without leave, and was addicted to drinking. Mr Flower said it was a very savage assault and one which he should feel it his duty to punish severely. If it had been proved that the prisoner had known the person who interfered to protect the female from his unmanly vioilence to be a constable, or had the female attended, he should have sent him to prison without the option of a fine, but as that was not the case, it would influence his decision. It wits, however, a very bad case, and under all the circum stances of the case he should fine the prisoner £5, or in default, commit him to prison with hard labour for one month. Timothy Foley, a man having the appearance of being a sweep, was placed at the bar charged with illegally sel ling spirits. Sergeant Rogers, of the metropolitan police, said the prisoner lived at 20, Lincoln-court, and on Sunday morn ing, about half-past three, his attention was called to loud laughing coming from Foley's house. He looked through an aperture in the shutter, and saw the prisoner standing in the midst of a group of 14 persons, with a bottle in ' his hand, selling the contents. He saw the prisoner receive money from various persons, and then he waited outside the house for a short time. He saw five people stagger from the place, and then he and another constable entered and took the prisoner into custody for illegally selling spirits. He had been charged and convicted of the same offence four or five times. An officer from the Excise then examined the bottles taken from the prisoner, and said they contained very weak gin. Mr Burnaby, the chief clerk, asked whether it was gin at all, or whether it was not some poisonous compound ? The excise officer said it was gin lowered to about 80 per cent below proof. The prisoner's charge, he believed, was 2d. per class. Mr Flower said it was lamentable to thick that a very useful act of Parliament should be, to a great extent frustrated by persons such as the pri soner. It was not to be supposed the prisoner did know the penalties he was incurring, because he had been four or five times charged with the same offence, and on one occasion fined £6O. He should now sentence him to pay a fine of £lOO, or in default, three months' imprison ment, with hard labour, Prisoner —£100 I You don't mean hard labour I Mr Flower—Yes, I perfectly well know that persons who carry on a trade like yours do not like work. Prisoner —No it ain't likely ; but Ido hope you'll thin k th ree months inprison is quite enough, without the labou r . Mr Flower —No, I shall do nothing of the kind, Prisoner (scratching his head)—Tery well, then, I sup pose I must go and do it, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - DANGEROUS ASSAULT , 1 14 . A.

Deay ton immediately took the Prisoner into custody, and on the way to the station the prisoner's wife having spoken to the prisoner, he deliberately and ; .13 the most savage manner knocked her down. Dr. Fannin g was sent for and at tended upon Mr. Busby, remaining w ith him since Satur day night, Mr Busbybeing i n a Very dangerous state. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner to see the result of the injuries Mr Busby has sustained. ROSITEFIT AT VIE HOTEL DE Pnoymt 0 E.—Riehard Homey and John Flynn, porters in the employ of Philip Nind, proprietor of the Hotel de Provence, Leicester-square, were charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with stealing some marked money from a till belonging to their employer. The evidence of Butcher, 137 c , a plain clothes officer, showed that he marked some money and placed it in the till, and then placed himself in such a position as to see the prisoners with the till, one of them holding a candle in his hand, and the prisoner had got the till out of its place by withdrawing some screws, which had the appearance of often having been withdrawn, they being quite bright. All the marked money was found on Flynn. Homey said Flynn was not his accomplice, and that he alone was the guilty party. Pierre Borakins, head waiter at the hotel, said money had been missed from the till for About five weeks. The depositions having been read over by Mr Nokes, the Chief Clerk, the prisoners Mr Tyrwhitt asked whether they wished and H o tney said Flynn had nothing to to say anytii:rzi And 1e said so because he did not like do with tho charge, . ~ the guilty. to see the innocent suffer a. , prisoners for trial.

A RurriA.N.—Michael Connor, a strange rough-looking fellow, who refused his name and address at the station, was brought before Mr Paget, charged with violently as sault ing Police-sergeant Dunne, No. 3 H. Last n ght, at half-past nine o'clock Dunne was passing along Leman-street, Whitechapel, when a young woman appealed to him for protection, and said the prisoner had been grossly insulting her. The prisoner came up directly and made an attempt to seize the female, who was exceed ingly terrified at the "rude uncivil touch" of such a vil lain as the prisoner. Dunne told him to go away, on which the prisoner abused her and made a kick at her, Dunne most properly interfered, seized the prisoner, and allowed the young woman to proceed. The prisoner being thus disappointed of his prey attacked Donne very fiercely, and struck him several times over the head and face, Dunne struggled with the prisoner until he obtained assistance, and then he lodged him in the station• house. Duane, who is one of the most quiet and best con ducted officers in the force, said the side of his head was very sore from the effects of the blows ho received. The prisoner, ore being asked for his occupation and address, pretended ho did not know, and in a rich Cork brogue said, " I did not commit that offence, yer honner's wertchip." Mr. Paget—What are you? The prisoner—l should not like to tell you that same. Its a profession I am, and a ginteet vac. Mr. Paget—What is your profession? The prisoner made a pause, grinned, and said, "It's a match seller I am." (A. laugh.) Mr Paget—What aro you ? The prisoner—Sell lucifer matches. Mr Paget said the interference of Sergeant Dunne on behalf of a female who was insulted in the public street was most proper and judicious. The police could not do better than protect females who were insulted by ill-disposed and disorderly follows in the streets. A violent assault had been committed on the police sergeant, for which he sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction. WESTMINSTER. PICKPOCICETS ON STEAMBOATS.—WiIIiam Mason, a boy 16 years of age, very smartly dressed, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with picking a lady's pocket on board a steamboat. Mrs A. Donoughue, trimming seller, 3, West-street, Golden-square, said that at about half-past six last even ing she got on board a Citizen steamboat, at Hungerford pier, to be conveyed to Chelsea. Shortly after she was asked by her niece whether she had lost anything from her pocket, when upon putting her hand there she found that her purse, containing upwards of 18s. had been stolen. Her niece proceeded a few paces along the deck, when she collared the prisoner, and prosecutrix then asked him to give her her puree, when he affected surprise, and said he knew nothing about it. She told him she was sure he had her purse, and should give it her, when he suddenly pro duced it from his right hand, observing, "I beg pardon—l hope you won't do anything to me." She took the puree from him, and he was given into custody. Police-constable 347 V, said that when the charge was stated to the prisoner at the station, he said he picked the purse up under the scat where the lady was sitting. Mr Arnold asked the accused whether he wished to say anything. Prisoner replied that he did not pick the lady's pocket. He found the purse on the deck under the seat, as he stated at the station-house. — Mary Ann Carr, the niece of the prosecutrix, said that she was with her aunt yesterday afternoon when she was robbed. There was no sitting room, and her aunt, who had been ill, was leaning upon her shoulder for support, witness holding her arm round her waist. Suddenly wit ness felt a pressure at her aunt's dress, and saw the pri soner remove his hands from it, and that induced her to ask her aunt whether she had lost anything. _ Mr Arnold remanded the prisoner until 'Wednesday. THE LONG VAC XTION.—On. Wednesday next the long vacation commences, and the law and lawyers will rest, in a measure, until the 24th October. THE MERSEY RAMS.—The El Tousson and El Mounassir, recently purchased by the Government from Messrs. Bravey, will be handed over to-day to Messrs Laird Brothers, of Birkenhead, the builders, by Captain Paynter, of her Majesty's ship Majestic. Messrs. Laird have contracted with the Admiralty to complete them for sea. The vessels will be renamed respectively the Scorpion and the Wyvern. They are to be armed with four 300-pounders, throwing a broadside of 1,2001 b. The turrets are on Capt. colas' cupola principle, The Scorpion will probably be ready in a few weeks, providing the damage she has suffered freest a winter's exposure, and when in an unfurnished state, is not found to be very serious. THE HERRING FISHING IN CAITHNESS. WICK, August 4.—To.day's fishing is, in conse quence of last evening turning out wet and threatening, much lighter than that of yesterday, the average being about four crane, bringing the season's average to 30 crane. A good many of the boats returned early last night without shooting their nets, and -of those that remained the majority were clean, the catch being chiefly confined to a few boats. About 1000 barrels were sold to-day at 265. Lobster is poorly fished to-day. Yesterday Helmsdale averaged about four crane. All the boats along the coast are proceeding to sea to-night, with favourable weather. DISTRESSING DEATH BY MEANS OF A TOY.—A coroner's investigation was held at Breadsall last week respecting the death of a little girl, eight years of age, named Harrison, who net with her death under very pain ful circumstances, It appears that a boy named Dolman was playing with an instrument known as a flirt, a wooden tube through which an arrow is shot by means of a band of indiarubber, when the elastic slipped from between his fingers, the arrow was discharged in the air, and in its fall the iron spike of come three quarters of an inch long stack in the head of the deceased. Another boy pulled out the arrow, and the girl did not seem to be seriously injured. Within the week, however, she became unwell, and died in about a month after the occurrence. It appeared from the post mortem examination that the arrow had penetrated through the skill into the brain, and thereby caused an '-ecess to form, from which she died.

The Emperor of the French at Vichy, A letter from Vichy, of the 3d, smys—" T nis bathing place contains at the present moment an Emperor, a King, a Pasha, and a great nomhe' r of eminent personages, and 10,000 bathers and . Wi iter drinkers. The King, however, is on the po in', of departing. Ascending from the new park, fo 110 w ing the capricious windings of the river, o a th e right are seen the imperial chalets inhabited b . p the Emperor and his suite, These chalets, six in i mum ber, are entered from a fine boulevard of r( .cent creation. They stand in the middle of spa aious squares very prettily laid out, and their principal entrance is at the back, towards the English park. The ground floor, which is raised on a bases cut story, consists of a saloon, a dining room, a la rge bed room, and a study. The first floor is distri'au ted in nearly the same manner. The chatint at present occupied by the Emperor, and ,eur mounted by the French flig, is nearly the same as that on the left hand which he inhabited last year. Besides the Emperor's chalet, only two others are officially occupied. Imme diately to the left is that of the ornerly officers, while that of the right is appropriated to M. Moc guard and his Majesty's cabinet. M. Drouyn de Lhuys, during his stay at Vichy, also inhabited this chalet. The other chalets belong to the Marquis de Clermont-Tonnerre, M. Fould, and M. Ernest Andres. There is no kitchen in the Emperor's chalet, and the basement story of the building on the left hand is appropriated to that purpose, and an underground passage constantly lighted with gas forms a communication between the two buildings. Opposite, on the other side of the Boulevard Napo leon 111., is a slip of ground 50 metres long by 24 wide, on which stand eight cottages surrounded by gardens enclosed by breast-high palisades. Five of them have been purchased by the Emperor and pre. sented by him to his friend and physician, Dr. Con. neau ; M. Lean,his first valet de chambre, an old and faithful servant; M. Dupuis, first controller; and M. Felix, first huissier of the palace. The other three are for sale. Eighteen more cottages are to be built further on. All these constructions, both chalets and cottages, of elegant style, built of brick, stone, and wood, with basements of red cement in crusted with pebbles, have a light and cheerful appearance, and are very pleasing to the eye, being in perfect harmony with the natural scenery around. The Emperor rises early, takes a bath at seven, breakfasts at ten, and dines at five. From half. past eleven to one, or oven later, his Majesty walks in the park, like the other bathers, sometimes ac companied by General de Beville, at others by the Marquis de Clermont-Tonnerre, or Colonels the Marquis de Toulongeen and Count Lepic, his orderly officers. Wherever he passes the crowd respect fully salute him. A day or two ago a little girl, five years of age, who was selling flowers, offered the Emperor a carnation, without knowing to whom she spoke. His Majesty took the flower and gave her a napoleon, with which she scampered off in great delight. A similar occurrence took place two mornings since, when a little boy, who was selling journals, meeting the Emperor returning from the bath, offered him the Moniteur du Soir, which was accepted and paid for with a napoleon, to the young dealer's unbounded amazement. The Walpurgis Dance at Washington, - WRITTEN FOR THE "NEW YORK DAILY NEWS" BY " ITIIT.TRIEL." [lt is hardly necessary to hint that " Ithuriel" is no other for the nonce than Dr. Charles Mackay, the 7trnes' Correspondent.] The night was heavy and mirk, The moon shone dusky red, The air had an odour of sulphurous smoke And of corpses newly dead. And I saw in fact, or dream, Or both confused in one, A dance and a revel and maniac rout Too hideous for the sun ; And out of it came a cry : " Blood ! blood ! blood ! " Let the witches' caldron boil " With a nation's tears for water I " Blood ! blood ! blood !

We don't in the least object to professional responsibility. When a man does any given act, on the due performance of which hangs the life of a fellow-creature, he ought to be and to feel himself answerable for any b a d consequences ' which may:follow from want of care and skill. But then he must have discretionary powers to match ; he must be a free agent and not a mere tool of others, and must have his hands quite unshackled in all that relates to his department. Any one who administers chloroform will do well to bear this in mind for the future, and may take more than one useful hint from the proceedings at a late inquest at St Mary's Hos pital. It was a great toe case—an operation highly painful, but not dangerous to life, and unluckily not surrounded with surgical interest which begets intense caution at every step. It was, too, just on that part of the body which is shown to retain its morbid sensibility the longest. The chloroform was administered, and in a short time the patient was found to be dead. The post mortem ex amination showed that there was fatty degeneration of the heart, which would enfeeble its action. Mr Edwards, the chloroformist, said ho examined the chest of the patient be fore the operation, and although he thought him an un favourable subject, he thought he had not the right to re fuse chloroform, as he was called upon to do so. On the otherhand, Mr. A. B. Wall, who had attended the patient many years, thought there was no extra risk ; neither did Mr. Lane, who significantly said that Mr. Edwards had 'not expressed any unfavourable opinion of the patient, and that if he had he would have been relieved of the responsibility of administer ing the chloroform ; for, of course, if the surgeons had de termined on giving it after hearing his objections, they would have taken on themselves a responsibility which was plainly inferred now rested with the chloroformist. The jury, after along consultation, returned a verdict affirming that the patient died "from the mortal effects of chloroform, administered whilst he was labouring under organic disease of the heart, and that the said death arose from misad venture." Not much in this, some may think; but they would be wrong. The verdict is not a verdict of " acci dental death," but implies a grave censure, and so we once heard it laid down by the late Mr. Wakley at an inquest un a death from the same cause. "In a case of misadventure (a) the law presumes negligence, or at least a want of suffi cient caution in him who was so unfortunate as to commit it; who, therefore, is not altogether faultless." But the law books show a number of fine shades by which what is "misadventure" at one time may be "manslaughter" at another ; so chloroformists had better beware in time, and take care that their degree of responsibility is clearly laid down, and that a commensurate degree of authority go therewith. It will never do for the future that the chloroformist shall, on the one hand, find himself saddled with a verdict of mis adventure ; and, on the other, that he shall be able to say to the jury, as Mr Edwards did, "My duty is only to give the chloroform, and I know nothing of the patient." The first point every chloroformist ought to have cleared up is, who is responsible for the patient's fitness? All justice and common sense show that this usually lies at the door of the persons who know the patient, and have treated him, and recom mend an operation. It is absurd to require a young man, called upon to administer chloroform to a dozen patients in succession whom he has never before seen, to pronounce off-hand that each has no organic disease of the heart. In this very case the practitioner who had attended the de ceased for years, and the surgeon who operated, knew nothing of it, and it would be preposterous to censure Mr Edwards on this ground. It is quite clear that some one ought to be called on to say whether a patient is or is not fit to take chloroform, and that if this is to be the task of the chloroformist, he ought to be called in in consultation beforehand, and enabled to learn all the patient's history. But with respect to this "disease of the heart." Let us be frank ;—it is a little too like the "cat in the cupboard" that devours the cream and breaks the crockery. What are the evidences of diseased heart? Breathless ness, faintness, angina, or even gouty palpitation ? But if these be evidence, where is the person past middle life who has a sound heart P If we except the most athletic young men in the prime of life, where is the man whose heart would not, if it could be got at, betray "traces of fatty degeneration ?" As for the fat and lazy men, the lean and haggard over-anxious men, the studious sedentary men, and the fast men,—the women of all ages who lead town lives, the " motherly;women," full• bosomed, the "fat, fair, and forty, or "fat, puffy, and sixty," and the people of either sex who have bees long ill or bedridden, — what kind of hearts have they ? We cannot see the heart, but we can see the calves of the legs, and judge that what makes the one wasted and soft will not spare the other. Then if we recollect the tricks of acute rheumatism and gout, we suspect that there are not 6 per cent of the popu lation above 30 whose hearts, if carefully cut up, would no betray some " traces of fatty degeneration," to solace the misadventures of the chloroformist. And are all these, the suffering and invalid part of our race, par excalence, to be denied chloroform in labour, or operation, or injury ? Most assuredly not. 'We entreat our dear brethren the chloroformists just to take for granted that all hearts are fatty, and to take their time ; and then the patient will be safe, though his heart be ricketty, and there will be no mis adventure. The chloroformist must make himself master cf the situation. He ought to have the imperturbability of a Turk, and be as incapable of hurry as a German postillion. It is the fifth operation of the day I the theatre is crammed the air vaporous and carbonised! the students anxious to get off to their afternoon lecture I 'and one of the great ornaments of surgery, who has a dozen consultations before dinner, waits to get his last operation done ! Never mind. The ohlorofermist should not budge an inch. The opera tor must wait for him. The timid young practitioner at tends Lady Frail at her dentist's, and spares her ladyship's consciousness the horrors of feeling a stump extracted. The patient is a little flurried, and sitting upright—all bad for chloroform. She gets a little noisy. "Can't you push it ?" says the dentist, looking at his watch, Take your time, good chloroformist, we Bay, or there will be a misadventure. Entice the patient into sleep, slowly and gently. He cannot resist even a feeble vapour if given long enoug h. Pot your faith i n the rule of three. If 3 per cent. of vapour will stop a degenerate heart in four minutes, halve the vapour and double the time and the heart will n o t Stop . Fe Put this label on your chlor o f orm b ottle, and there will be an end of misadventure. SKIPPING-THIS DAY, LONDON, Aug. B.—Wind this day at noon—South west; moderate breeze and fine weather.
