the clerk, "My wife ores for a leg of mutton, and I will
pay for both the thins together.' Prisoner had a sovereign
in his hand. He threatened to tape prow:dings against me
when I gave him in charge.

cutor refused to give him credit, and prisoner rid he did

beef. After that he would neither give Lim lack the bad
car the motley.
Cross-eiusroined by Mr. Lewis—lf I could have got the
mosey for the beef after the prisoner had taken it there ,
would have bees an end of the matter, and I should sot
have brought him here. The prisoner was drunk—very. If
he had been sober I probably 'bona have trusted him with
the meat, bat as he was drunk, I of course would not.
Police-oonstable Slater, 402 B, proved that prisoner was
much intoxicated.
George Byars& was recalled by Mr. Lewis, and said he
followed the prisoner to where be left the meat ; he did it
without any disguise.
Two or three policemen were called to prove that the
prisoner was very violent at the police-station, and threat.
, red the inspector.
Mr. Lewis addressed the trate for his client, and
I said there was no pretext for charging him with a felony.
He waa well known at the shop, had always paid his way,
and, according to the prosecutor's own account, would have
had credit given him this time had he been sober. He had
walked away with the meat without the least disguise, and
having honestly paid his former bills, probably, in his
intoxication, considered himself entitled to credit. His
threats and violence at the station were the result of consi-
dering himself unjustly given into custody. His intoxication
was the best and only excre for that. If he had threatened
he had now no idea of doing any one any harm.
He was discharged from the imputation of felony, but
fined 10c, or seven days, for the assault on the butcher's
son, and 40a. each for assaults on two constables, or fourteen
days.

The wheat trade in London commenced on Monday eltsat-
on a very large foreign supply, and • fair arrival of
home growth. The addition for the morning from Kent
and Essex was but moderate ; but the condition being still
bad, and several samples being overleft from the previous
week, there was a very sleek trade at fully the redo:dims
then noted, but there was not the same pressure to sell,
country markets generally resisting any further decline •
very little was therefore done till the close of the market,
when there was a fair clearance. Fine Danzig was held at
quite as much money, and some other select parcels of dry
foreign ; bat generally the trade ex ship was Is. per qr.
lower. Cargoes afloat about maintained their previous
currency. On Wednesday there were 1,520 qra. per coast,
with 30,840 qrs. from abroad, with few parcels left over, ex-
ceptiog those inferior in quality and condition ; there was a
steady trade in all good qualities, at fully the previous
rates. The foreign trade for all fine and dry qualities wee
firm, but there was but little doing. Friday's returns were
2,150 qrs. coastwise and 38.720 qrs. foreign. All fair quality
samples of English went off more readily than at the com-
mencement of the week : but the large arrivals from abroad
made buyers of foreign very cautious, and there was almost
nothing doing.
There was a fair supply of country flour on Monday, and
a heavy arrival from America. The warm damp weather
was very much against the sale of Norfolk', but the best
marks were held at former rates. Barrels were dull, and
only saleable in small parcels for fine qualities. Town
quotations were unchanged. On Wednesday there were
1,210 rucks per coast, with 650 nuke 4,660 bids.
foreign. Warm damp weather still interfered
with the side of Norfolk', though good marks
were held at the previous rates. American bar-
rels remained a slow sale. Friday's returns were 1.490
auks coastwise, with 1,140 sacks 4,660 barrels foreign.
There was then very little change in the state of trade in
country aorta, and only good American barrels were in fair
request at unaltered rates.
The supply of home-grown barley was still moderate,
though increased on Monday ; but there was very little
from foreign ports. There being some inquiry for fine malt-
ing, such as answered this description (which was only in
inlet' compass) brought improved rates, whether in English
or foreign qualities • but the medium sorts were no dearer,
and grinding was ;educed in value Is. per qr. On Wed.
nearby there were 260 qrs. per coast, with 930 qre.
foreign. Fine malting English was still in request, and
there was rather more doing in secondary sorts ; but
grinding still inclined downwards. Friday's returns
were 440 qre. per oust, with 1,630 qrs. foreign. No new
feature then appeared in the state of the trade; but the
tendency was rather more decidedly upwards for fine malting
English.
Fine malt fully maintained its value, but inferior was very
little in demand. Business in good qualities remained firm
through the week.
There was a very large supply of foreign oats on Monday,
chiefly Russian, and a good quantity of English, though
scarcely any from Scotland or Ireland. All new corn was
decidedly 6d. per qr. cheaper, and inferior old participated
in the decline ; but prime qualities of the growth of 1861
were scarcely cheaper, though but in retail demand. On
Wednesday there were 20 qrs. per coast, 930 qra. Irish, and
6,880 qra foreign. Though the supplies were not heavy. it
was increasingly difficult to sell, new sorer further giving
way 6d. per qr., and all but prime muftis of old were rather
in favour of buyers. Friday's quantities were 30 era per
coast, 930 qrs. Limb, and 12,240 qrs. foreign. Bnainess re-

were exceedingly slow, both in new and old, and prime down

doing, but there was Do chew of price.
There was very little linseed reported, wertheises high
prices limited the demand, and this article was doll and
rather easier. Cakes were also but a slow sale. The week
closed with only a limited inquiry for linseed, but more
demand for cake.

THB METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.

The stations upon this lino are now ready for
traffic, though some few days will yet elapse betsre they are
brought into use. That in Farriagdon-street is a 'ere com-
modious one, and is situated about a hundred yards from
the foot of Holborn-hill. The railway runs is an n
cutting from this station parallel with the New F • -
street, until the mouth of the tunnel is reached near Cop-
pice-row. This tunnel is about 600 yards long, and ter-
minates at Fredenek-srreet, Beguigge-wells-road. There
is then an open rutting to the tunnel month at Kieg's-
cross where there are two branches consenting with the
Midland and Great Northern Railways. The retaining
walls are fine specimens of brickwork, carefully finished,
and the mouth of the tunnel has considerable archi-
tectural decoration. The station at King's-cross is a
few feet below the surface of the road. At the station there
are two wide platforms; and spending a width of about 90
feet, and sustained by girders of openwork, is the station
building itself, captaining booking-offices, waiting-rooms,
=-officee, be., and communicating with the platform.
isrs and landings in duplicate, one set earring for ar-
rivals, the other as departures. The station is covered by an
elliptical wrought-iron roof, with sufficient glass to preserve'
an agreeable bat not a glaring light, naming under the
New-road the first station is one at Gower-street. The
platforms hare are under the footpaths of the road, and
with the railway are spanned by a huge arch of 45 feet
opening. The sides of the arch are perforated with open-
ings at intervals of 10 feet ; these openings are continued
into the forecourts or gardens of the houses, where, area-
like, they amerce, and are covered with glass, the whole
having the appearance of windows with elongated reveals,
lined with glazed white earthenware tiles. Thus both di-
rect and reflected rays of light impinge upon each platform
and completely light the whole substructure. In and
egress to the stations are effected by means of bmking-
offices placed on the north and south sides of the Enstoo-
road, is the pudens of the houses, and by wide exit and
entrance dans leading from booking offices to platforms.
The effectof this station, and its numerous intersected and
intersecting arches, is novel in its appearance and imposing
in its effects. Portland-road station is the next one.
It is above ground, and occupies the site of the once ver-
dant oval enclosure near iTrinity Church. One booking-
O&M* here suffices, and the lighting and emitilatioe
are effected by a pair of domes, and by open-
ings in the crown of the arch. The communi-
cation with the platforms is by stairs and galleries across
the line, which, sustained by trelliswork. has a light and
pleasing effect. The station at Baker-street, which is the
next one, is similar in almost all respects to that of the
Portland-road. The station at the Edgware-road, though
of somewhat smaller dimensions, is not unlike that at
King's-cross. It span. over the line and platforms, ands
covered by an elliptical arched roof of iron and glass. The
brickwork is faced with Remora's patent stone, of which'
the ornamental parts of all the bridges is formed. At the
Great Western Railway the station is very conveniently
placed, and is on a level with the Paddington station.—

THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN SCOTLAND.

On Sunday night, Isaac Marv, of Falkirk, was reported as
getting worse, and we understand that unless some more
favourable turn take place, he is not likely to survive over
the night. John Macdonald was also rather worse • sad
there is little change on Jobs Harvey, of the Scots Onus.
Dunesu M'Nab, of Cupar-Fife, is improving, as are also all
the other patients who have been in the lofirmary since
the night of the accident. Two new patients who
suffered from the accident were admitted into the
infirmary in the and of the week. One is named
Janet Paterson, who was admitted on Friday even-
ing and is doing well. The other is Mary lirlutosh,
belonging to Bo'ness, who was admitted on Saturday eight,
with severe injuries in the head, the doctor fears concussion
in the (wain. Robert Salmond, from Kirkcaldy, was dis-
missed cured on Friday. The daughter of Michael M'Quade,
who is about eighteen years of age, Caine from Glasgow on
Saturday morning, accompanied by a relative, and identified
the oely remaining body lying in the police-office as that of
her father. —,Scoirmati.

-Thes-eiedtr:de was little altered. Tares were rather
easier, from their continued plenty. Fine canary and mug-
tardseed, being scarce, minutained former prima, Cloverseed,
trefoil, and other seeds were without change.
With bet moderate supplies of wheat in the country, the
condition was again the universal complaint of millers, and
business was consequently much restricted ; but fee this very
reason the price of old English, and all dry new samples,
from scarcity, generally maintained the previous currency.
A few markets were, however, rather easier, but scarcely
enough to quote.
Liverpool on Tuesday bad a good attendance, and found
a fair sale foe wheat at the previous Friday's currency ; but
Sour was rather easier. Oats were quite as dear, but
barley gave way 2d. per 60 lbs., and beans 6d. leer qr.
Peas were without change. Mixed maize sold at 295. 6d.
per qr. On Friday the only difference was that red winter
wheat, being more prase!, sold at irregular rates.
With more inquiry for fine barley, this grain has rather - --
improved in value ; but on late, beans, and peas prices
have rather yielded. MANCHRMTRit, BREFFIRLD, AND LINCOLNSMIRM
