the manner rather than the appointees of the defendant
that suggested a suspicion as to his being a real woman.
Unlike the ladies who frequent the gay saloon in question,

defendant which made him, her, or it, an object of special
remark ; sad whet the inspector observed that it took so
part in the dance, and scrupulously avoided the society of

at once that it was so woman. He mondial°, adopted

knocked down and robbed, and when the first witness
reached the spot (a Mr. Christie), he found the prisoner
beating the complainant's head with a brick-bat, as he lay
insensible on the ground. The pavement was streaming
with blind, and the woman actually broke the brick to pieces
from the violence of the blows. The complainant was re-
moved to the hospital, and was only able to attend before
the magistrate yesterday.
Constable F 50 said he had seen the woman hut before in
company with several ticket-of-leave men. The prisoner
had been before convicted, and had suffered tie months' im-
prisonment.
The prisoner declared that she was not the woman, and
also that she had

The officer who was said to have had her in charge at

he identified the prisoner as the woman who had six months'
at the Westminster sessions.
The prisoner declared it was her sister, who was then M

and swore that she was the person convicted and punished on
the occasion in question.
A second policeman was then sent for, and he positively

paleimet, who told him the house had been: robbed while she
was in a room upstairs, Mr. Reid and the other members

officer went with the prisoner through the Louse, almost
every room of which tore traces of the work of spoliation, in
rifled drawers, cupboards, and boxes broken open, and
articles of dress, &a., scattered on the floors. The prisoner,
on being asked where she could possibly have been while
such proceedings were going on, said she knew nothing
about the matter of the robbery, as she was upstairs in •

that a chest of drawers had been forcibly broken open La a

FORGERY BY A BOY.

At the Devouport Guildhall, on Saturday, a boy
awned William Lucas, an errand boy in the employ of Mr.
&wide, upholsterer, ito., was committed for trial, under the
following circumstances:
Having forged the name of " John Elliott," grocer, of
Davenport, to a bill drawn by Megan. Stillwell and Co.,
navy agents, in favour of Daniel W. Stephens, Esq., sur-
geon, of has Majesty's ship Basilisk, one of the Baltic
fleet, he cashed the bill at the shop of Meters. Pineent
and Co. _ .

Mr. Pinseat, of that arm, stated that on Monday last the
prisoner came to the shop and asked Mr. Philp, one of the
assistants, if he woad cash a bask poet bill for Mr. Elliott.
He referred him to Mr. Blake, the cashier, and he was
further referred to Mr. Pinseat, who, after examiniag the
bill, asked if it was for Mr. Elliott, Fore-street. The boy
replied that it was, and Mr. Pinsent said U he would endorse
it on the beck, he would cash it, as the endorsement was
oeoeasaq. Ina short time the boy returned with the bill
endorsed, and Mr. Pinson gave him 404 The
following day the bill was sent to the Devon and Cornwall
Bank with ether money, and the manager at once suspected,
from the style of the handwriting and from the character
of Me mderseinents that they were not valid. Mr. Elliott
was applied to and at once the suspicion was confirmed.

whatever about the bill. The ir yr was then sought

habit of meeting a number of hie friends at the Lord Nelms

reaching that houe I stood outside for a few minutes, when
two policemen came up and asked me who I was waiting
for, and I replied certain'y not for either of them. They
both then made use of language of so filthy a character to
me that I dare net repeat it. It was so disgusting that I
called them filthy boats, and I will own that I felt so indig-
nant at their expressions, that I spat at ens of them. I then
left, and wink walking towards home I met two other:police-
men, one of whom tuned his bull's-eye on as, and I said,
" Yon seem much more civil than the fellows who are at

sults with the assault on her by the policeman, who she
said knocked bee dons, and repeatedly applied to her the
mat diegualisg epithets. The policeman at last ran away,
and she thee -made the beet of her way home. The other
constable had walked away in another direction when his
companion commenced speaking to her.
The constable who was thus charged, called 216 P sad
263, who had seen Mrs. Tyler, as they asserted, twice at tits
Lord Nelson public house, and both swore that she woe
drunk ; but the testimony of neither, in the slightest degree,
disproved the truth of her statement.

house, also mire that Mrs. Tyler was intoxicated when she
came to the station-house with her bubsnd.
Mrs. Tyler was recalled, and in answer to a question pat
to her by the magistrate, admittea that she had teen drink-
ing a little in the course of the evening, but was perfectly
ego' when she went to look after her husband ; and her
statement was corroborated by Mr. Britten, who said he
saw her at 11 o'clock, and on her leaving her house with
her husband and himself.
Mr. Elliott, after hearing the evidence in the as at con-
siderable length, observe* that it was quite clear that the
mutable 81 was not justified in taking the prisoner into
custody, and his doing so under the circumstances was the
more reprehensible as he, at the time, was about to proceed
to the station-bows; to lodge • complaint of the constable's
eitadnet. The ease eould not rest here ; but as far as the
prisoner was eosserned, he was diseharged. If Mrs. Tyler
speaks the truth, and I have se reason to doubt her, as she
appears to be • respeetable woman, the persons who are
*aphis of using the filthy language sworn to, an most unfit
to be potions's. Teo case, as I have before said, mast
undergo a surging investigation, and with that object in
other it must be reported to the Commissioner.
Inspectori Harrison, who was is attendance, said it should
be attended to, and thus stands the matter at present.

MARKETS.

with an animated Peeling, sue, compared with last week's
prices of American, are 1-161. per lb. dearer; while

COTTON OOODS.—M•Ncuastea, Aram 10 —Tte
advance in the value of cotton has contributed to sustain the
activity in this market, and the diminution of stocks remit-
lag from the business of the last fortnight has enabled
manufacturers, to some extent, to increase their prices. In
sloths for India and China there lies been a rather exten-
sive inquiry, and considerable contracts have been secured
by manufacturers who were willing to accept the rates of
last week. Bet there has been, g lly speaking, a de-
sire to obtain an advance more commensurate with that in

the raw material, and where this has been pressed too far it
has had the effect of limiting operation*. The firmness en
the part of sellers may be said to have checked sales in most
fabrics except long cloths and T cloths, which are dull of
sale, and unchanged in value. There have been considerable
transactions is yarns, particularly water-twist, and mule
up to 48's, and in many cases spionen have obtained a fur-
ther advance of Id. per lb. This is not held to be equal to
the increased value of cotton, but spinners have very freely
accepted engagements, and most of the principal men are
under contract for some weeks forward. The c►ief business
In yarns, as in clothe, is for India and China, but home and
continental buyers have operated moderately.

WOOLLEN

APRIL 10.—Ws have

had a rather easier market to-day. There has been only an
indifferent attendance of merchants in the cloth-halls, and
not much disposition was shown to enter into transactions of
any importance. But considering it is now holiday time,
perhaps as much busineu has been done as might reason-
ably bays been expected.

MANUFACTURES. -

The attendance of merchants has again been pretty name-
roue, but their transactions are continued on such a limited
scale, that business on the whole still remains fiit and dull,
and manufacturers find great difficulty is obtaining anything
like remunerative prices.

rally known that =paten are anxiou to commence the
next series of mien in London u soon as possible, there is a
strong desire amongst dealers to rid their stooks, and prices
may be quoted a shade in favour of business.

NEWCASTLE, APRIL 10.—The weather continues open
and boisterous. At our market this morning we had a
moderate show of wheat from the growers, and, although
the arrivals coastwise were equally so, yet the report from
Merk-lane proving disappointing, the mitten operated cau-
tiously, and only a moderate business resulted at about
Saturday's rates. In flour we had less stirring, and in
some, cases le. lees was taken. Rye without change. Malt-
ing barley fully u dear, and the same remarks will apply
to grinding descriptions. In other articles we have little
alteration of moment to note ; in fact, the business generally
partook quite of a holiday character.
SALISBURY, APRIL 10.—The weather continues very
unenial, and u yet, farmers have not completed seed ape.
ratione, and vegetation of all kinds remains almost at a
standstill. At this morning's market we had a better sup-
ply of all kind of grain than of late, with a full attendance
of both buyers and sellers. Business in wheat was toler-
ably brisk, millers evineiag more disposition to_pureltue
largely, and late quntations were well supported. The pries
of flour was unaltered. The barley trade wu hardly so
good, purchases for seed being now completed, and malting
samples are not very extensively required, but there was
little or no alteration in prices. The malt trade remains
exceedingly slack, and prices tend downwards. In all other
articles there was a more lively inquiry, at statioeary prices.
We quote: Wheat, 661. to 751. Barley. 30s. to 361.
Oats, 30e. to 345. Beans, 645. to 60s. Peas, 48s. to 645. per
qr. Flour, 62a. to 68s. per sack. Malt, 9s. to 9s. 6d. per
bushel.

CATTLE.-B•Liszumr, APRIL 10.—At our market this
morning we had a very limited supply of cattle; so short,
indeed, that we scarcely remember lees for many months
past, and the quality was mostly of a very inferior character.
There was also • very short attendance of buyers, and
the trade was consequently very flat, and a clear-
ance was barely effected. Best ox beef was the
shade in favour of the buyer, whilst inferior
animals sold at • decline of from Bd. to le.
per mere. Then was, also, a very short supply of sheep,
notwithstanding the scarcity of feed, and there were but
few good cuss ; the demand, however, was not heavy, and
nearly ell ebangid hands without any noticeable variation
of former prices. A few good lambs on offer found pur-
chasers at extremely high rates. There was a plentiful
supply of calves, which, as usual, found reedy buyers,
end there was, from the increased number, a
downward tendency in prices, averaging for fine
veal, be. 81. to 41. per stone. In the pig market,
there was a more limited supply than the last few markets,
with a sluggish demand, and the prices of all kinds of pigs
tended downwards. Prices :—Best ox beef, Us. to lb. Bd.
per were ; cow and heifer ditto, 9s. to Ile. Best Down
mutton, 70. to Bd. per lb. ; inferior breeds, 6d. to 614
Lamb, 81d. to 9d. Veal, retail, 6d. to 7d. Pork, fresh and
salt, 7d. to 71d. per lb., and 9s. 6d. to 9s. 9d. per score. Bacon,
green, Bd. to 9d. par lb. ; dry, 104., and 9s. tid. to 9s. 9d.
per more. Quarter store pigs, 18s. to 211. each; sows with
calves, 124 to 161.
