THB POLICE CO ÜBT&

LAMBETH.

----
Caroline Sandy, a young woman, who gave herself up to
a policeman in the Mile End road, on that morning, was
charged on her own eonfes,ion with stealing a watch.
Richard Clark, the prosecutor, said that about nine
weeks ago he mat the prisoner in Lambeth, and drinking
several glasses of gin at different private houses, he found
he had patted from her by some means or other, and that
his watch and chain were gone.
Mr. Norton—What do you mean by drinking gin at pri-
vate houses t_
. . .
. .

Witnen—l man private houses where gin is told when
the public•houses a►e closed. of which there are hundreds,
I should think, is the parish of Lambeth.
Mr. Norton—Can you describe where these houses are ?
Witness—The first one we went into was in a turning cff
Oisklerstreet, and there we were served with gin at three-
pence a glass. The other houses we went to were known to

„_
the prisoner.
Mr. Norton—lf there are so many such houses es those
you mention, I em surprised they have not been discovered
by the polite or the Eacise. That there are such houses
open there can be but little doubt, and evidence of their
existence before the recent committee held on the Sole of
Baer Bill would have been of importance.
The prisoner said she knew several places where gin and
other spirits were privately sold, and in these places bottles
containing the spirits were kept between the bed and Mat-
tress. _ _ _ . _

_
Mr. Norton hoped the police would take notice of the
evidence given, mid remanded the prisoner.

MARKETS.

COTTON. —Ltvzo.PooL, AuotJar 11.—The market
closed with great animatim, but the supply of desirable lots
M American was short. American qualities were a cleat
I. per lb. dearer. Surat/ have alto summed in valor, lot
other kinds are unchanged. The sales were from 10,000
to 12,000 bales-1,000 for export and 3,000 on speculation—
comprising, in addition to Americans, 600 Permits and
, Maranham, at 60. to ad.; 300 Egyptian, at 41. to
91,1.; 2,000 Surat, at 43. to 53.; and 500 Sea Islamic, at
124. to 21d. per lb.

COTTON GOODS.-11ANClinsTEB., AUOUST 11.—We
bear of a fettle more business :n one or two departments,
hut, generally speaking, the demand is languid, and the
prices of cloth unsatisfactory. In 40. inch shirting. rather
more icquiry has been made throughout the week, and
considerable contracts hava been offered at a decline, but
thus prices named have mostly been too low, and the trans•
actions are of a limited chcracter, though showing a slight
increase, it is beliesed, on the business of previous weeks
The e3les of domestics have been principally to the home
trade, and there bas been some demand for the narrower
widths. A recent increase of demand for long cloths Ina
T cloths has relieved stocks a little, but there is no
improvement in prices, which are unsatisfactory. Menu-
feet users of 66 and 72 reed printing cloths are in some ce,es
well engaged, but in other descriptions there is only a mode-
rato hosineas, with priers timely steady. In jacconets rather
more business is reported since the last Indian mail. Yarns
continue dull, both for home consumption and export, but
a little more business has been done in India numbers and
qualities, and the Oermaits an baying mod. rately.

WOOLLEN CLOT'''. 1.13D8, Avovwr 11. The
woollen cloth market continues to exhibit a firm tont.. In
both the coloured and white cloth halls there has been •
good attendance of buyers, and considerable ao.ivity pre-
vails. Tweeds, mixtures, prunells, and other seasonable
goods continue in demand, and is them, u well as in ordi-
no!, cloths, a full average business hos been done.
HALIFAX, AOGIAIT 11.—Wool is firmer, and some ad.
'anus are obtained. Worsted geode are tolerably brisk,
but prices remain statiofiary.

HARDWARE.-13famorna•w, Attritm 11.—Trade
here continues to improve; orders to • considerable
amount hese come in during the week, and, as far as can be
ascertained, moat of the manufacturers are enabled to keep
the hsads fully employed. The West India mail brought •
few orders and some remittances ; the like has been received
from Australia ; and the IICC01111:/ from the United States
continue to be highly favourable, though at present the
orders are not large. In the district trade is decidedly'
brisker; the foreign demand for edge.tools and other de-
scriptions of heavy manufactured goods is increasing, as it
also is :or manufactured iron of all kinds, most of the mills
awl forges being is full operation. rig•fron maintains its
pries ; there are no stocks on hand, and the stone got in
the district being scarce, it commands from 17s. to 18s. per
toe. The tin-plate trade is improving; the orders are
larger and at more remunerative prime.

CORAL-CAMBIUM; Aro. 11.-We bad a dull market
for all cons, at about last week's prices. Reaping has par-
tially commenced, with strong complaints of mildew.
Wheat, red, 70e. t• 741. ; white, 76. to 781.; beans, 435. to
48s. ; oats, 28s. to 331. ; peas, 42'. to 441.
Celeritous', AtO. 11.-We had a very heavy market,
and last week's prices barely maintained. Brown wheat,
70s. to 78s. ; white, 76.. to 821. Barley, 345. Oats, 30s.
Beaus, 425. to 475. Peas, 401. to 401.6 d.

Is. 6d.-Carliale Journal.
COLCHRITER, AUG. 11.-There was a good supply of
wheat at our market to-day, the sale, however, was slow, at
prices barely equal to last week. The effers of barley,
beans, and peas were so small as to be scarcely worth re-

porting.
OLoccitrrn", Aro. 11.-Some reaping has commenced
in the earliest wheat fields of this district, and in another
week we anticipate it will be general. Since Tuesday the
weather has been fine, and millers refused to buy tc-day no.
lee. at a decline of 35., but we heard of no business done in
English, and but little in foreign. Barley and beans in
moderate request. Oats quiet at former rates. Complaints
of potatoe disease are very general. Imports f
orte the week
ending Aug. 11 : - Wheat, 1,460 qrs.; by, 779
oats' 833.
GUILDFORD, Avo. 11.-The supply of wheat continues
I large, and in excess of the demand, hence trade was again
dell, at a farther reduction of 2s. to 3s. per qr. Wheat,
I dim to 851. Barley, 335. to 375. Oats, 29a. to 335.
Peen, 425. to 51s.
iMaggoitn, Ann. 11 -The supply of wheat at our mar-
Mt pad trade extremely dull, at from le. to 2s. per load,
with few buyers. Barley sold at last week's prices. Oats
side rather ins money. Pesos and beans support former
prime. Wheat, 40e. to Dls. per load. Barley, 30a. to 355.
per qr. Oats, 245. to 321. Peas, 265. to 29e. per load
Beans, 28s. to 325.
NORWICH, AVG. 11.-There was a fair supply of wheat
at our market to-day, offered by both lumen end mer-
chants. Prices ruled 2s. per qr. below last week's rates.
The past week has been
week, A go, d deal of rain
fell in the middle of the which appears to Dave been
pretty general througbout the kingdom. Notwithstanding
which. the pekes of all articles have been lower on all the
leading markets. Fine dry weather is much wanted, and
'with warm bright weather we shall bo in harvest by the
20th inst. The reports speak somewhat discouragingly of
the growing crop. The ears are said to be defective, bat
this we think is very partial. Flour trade, f.0.b., dull at
20. per sick reduction. Barley trade none. Beaus and
peas offered rather more freely, at full prices. Oats were
firm at prices folly equal to last week. Wheat, white, 725.
to 745. per quarter; red, 63e. to 71e. Beans, 48s. to 40e.
Peas, 445. to 461. Oats. 325. to 31r. Fine household flour,
f.o.b , 609. per seek of 2801 be., porehatersindiag sacks and
claiming one month's coedit.
NIWCASTLS-OPON-TYRII, Arc. 11.-The weather this
' week has bees of a very 'mottled character, for, with the
slosptiea of yesterday, we have had heavy rain, bat this
was espesially the MSS on Tawas), ; sad oar letten tem

Stockton represent the weather as equally bad there; the
hay crop has received irreparable injury ; is Cumberland
the low lands were quite flooded, and altogether our pros-
pects are leas promising than a month ago. The trade dur-
ing the pretest week has been c►aracterised by rather more
confidence; tor, although a decline of is to 2s. per qr. had
to bo submitted to, our millers have shown more disposition
to operate at the reduction. For some very choirs fresh-
thrashed Norfolk yellow, weighing naturally 631b5., 784.
was procured, 77e. to 781. for Scotch white, extra, 801. to
81,., the latter weighiag 63ilbs to &Vbs. For red Danish
and Holstein 735. to 74e. 6d. was procured, and other sorts
in proportion. Flour has sold somewhat irregularly. Bar-
ley, malt, beano, and peas, much as before, but oats have
attracted more attention, choice Scotch, weighing 421bs. per
bushel and upward., coninsandiog readily 321. per qr.
At oar market this morning we had about our usual supply
of wheat from the growers, and the arrivals being upon a
more moderate scale than of late, fresh-thrashed samples',
were taken of rather quickly at rather under the rates of
day sennight, such qnalities on account of their frisbees,
and condition selliog higher io proportion than otter vari-
eties. For choice farmers' red 775. to 78,. was acquired,
whilst at the same time good Norfolk yellow was not worth
more thin 77c, very extra 781 , superior Fifeshire white
weighing n►turally 63i1t0. reached 804., and good runs 775.
weighing 611 W. but made 631bs.—Foreign also commanded
more enquiry, Wolgast being particularly acquired for,
whereas Ho:stein red found buyers at 75s , and other sorts
sold at prices according to their quality. In flour very little
was done, but we can scarcely write the market lower. In
rye little chimp. Grading barley rather more sought after,
365. being about the value of Norfolk an Danish if quite
sweet, weighed 56ibe. per bushel. Malt had more tone.
Beans and peas unchanged. With oats we were scantily
supplied by cur growers, and a fair sale was experienced at
the extreme rates of last week. The arrivals this week
.re :—Wheat, coastwise 1,637 ; foreign, 132; rye, coastwise,
69; barley, foreign, 15 ; oats, coastwise, 600, foreign, 1,210 ;
peas, foreign, 16; flour, 1,460 sacks, Indian corn flour, 60
sacks.

PETERBOIIOUGH, AEG. 11.—There was a large supply of
wheat h. re to-day, and prices were 2s. per qr. lower than last
week, 63Ibs. flee red and yellow wheats making 71s. to 725.
per qr. Some good brown wheats, !that weight, were sold
at 68i. to 694. per qr. Harvest has partially commenced In
this neighbourhood, and on Monday next we shall have a
good deal ofiboth wheat and spricg corn cutting.
READING, Auo. 11.—The wheat trade very dull, owing
to a reluctance on the part of the sellers to accept reduced
prices ; the sales which bare been effected are at a decline of
fully.2s. per qr. on the rates of last week. The trade in
spring.norn only nominal.
. . .

•
WISBECH, AUO. 11.—The moderate quantity of wheat
offering today is freer sale than of late, and is mostly sold
at the extreme prices of last Saturday. But little spring
corn, and fully as dear. The weather today is fine, but
during the past week we have had very heavy rains, which
have laid the wheat crops to • serious extent, and they are
now in a very critical position, requiring continued sun-
shine. Prices to the growers : Wheat, new, 675. to 80i. per
qr. Oats, 1.. 2d. to ls. 3d. per stone. Beans, 475. to 495.
WORCESTER, Avo. 11.—Our market wag not so largely
supplied with wheat to-day, but, the day being fine, the
price of all descriptions was fully 2s. per qr. lower. Barley
unaltered in value. Oats dull, and to have sold •
quantity some concession must have been made. Beans
held for quite as much money, and there was more in-
quiry fur peas.
Yonx, AUG. 11.—We have a small show of wheat at
market to-day, and farmers being unwilling to submit to
any decline, very little business was done, at • little below
last week's prices. In other articles no change. Flour is
3s. per sack lower. Up to Thursday heavy rains fell, and
have laid the crops flat; since, then, however, it has bean
fine. Wheat, white, 769. to 80s. per imperial qr. ; red,
no. to 74..; barley, grinding. 365.; beans, 48s. to 60a.;
malt, 70s. to 725. ; oats, is. 31. to is. 4d. per stone of 14Ibe. ;
flour, 655. to 675. per sack of 2801bs.
. _

KIIMCALDY, Ann. 11.—We have bad a week of rainy
sunless weather. The crops are much beaten down, and
injured, no doubt, to • considerable extent; they make
slow progren towards maturity, so thrt harvest seems some-
what distant around this ne'ghbourhood. At our country
markets, this week, our farmers, unless at advanced rates,
were indifferent sellers of wheat: oats were also held more
stiffiy, and they seem sold out of barley. Altogether, we
have seldom seen lees change hands than on this past week.
line, to day, we 'bad a fair supply of wheat, whi.:ll sold
readily at last week's rates. Barley and oats in email sup-
ply ; sales quick, at an advance of a full sixpence per qr.
Wheat, 101. to 805. per qr.; barley, 31s. to 305. ; oats, 325.
to 355.

DUBLIN. AUGUST 10.-OQT COM market to-day was
egain very dull fur every description of grain, without
any alteration in the prices of Tuesday. A few small
samples of new oats appeared—the condition and qus.ity
indifferent; the tawny were taken at 15i., and the white
at 16s. per barreL
WATEUFOILD, At:o. 11.—The weather in the early part
of the week was most unfavourable for the crops, but during
the last day or two we have had a very seasonable change,
which has maws improved the appearance of the corn that
was laid ; and in a few early districts a little wheat and tawny
oats have hien cut. Our arrivals of every description of
grain have teen small since this day ee'nnight, hut quite
suflicient ler the 'present limited requirements of the trade.
Wheat: The best qualities of foreign have been taken to a
fair extent at former prices, and in the lower descriptions a
few sales have been made at rather less money. For barley
we had a good demand at a trifle over late Yates, and the
quantity on hand being small, sellers hold with firmness.
Oats have sold slowly, with. at change in prices. Indian
corn has been less icqui red for, and some holders have sub-
milted to a reduction of 3d. per barrel, in order to clear off
their stocks. Flour steady, at last Saturday's quotations.
The potato disease, so far. appears to be generally confined
to the leaves and calks. In some few districts we hear that
the tubers are slightly aff,cted. Imports this week: Wheat,
60 qrs. ; Indian corn. 3,111; catmeal. 67 ewts. Exports
this week; Oats, 3,942 barrels; flour, 2,823 sacks.
