'RESS, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 16, 1E64.

Dishy Ssircour told bha that his lordship coogratulated
biro—'• I coognittlato the defendant upon the terms
ai rived at by the plaintiff." (Ltoghter.) The sum paid
was 1001. and costa. The aniouLt of Interest obeli:el to the
Cookson& was 74 per cent.
The Attorney -General submitted that there was no
evi-
denos of the publication of the libel. Who was the man
who complained? Mr. Godfrey, the slanderer of a lady,
brought to account in a neighbouring oounty for it not
daring to be present in court, consented through his counsel
to a verdict for lUD?. He was the trustee who obtained
usurious interest from his own client. Mr. Tyrer bed in-
tended to have the whole correspondence printed for the
Court of Chancery, for the purpose of obtaining proof ; that
intention war abandoned. Two copies only bad been
printed before the type was broken up, and Mr. Tyrer had
not the slightest notion how this came into the paranoia
of his enemy, Mr. Godfrey.
After bearing Mr. Tyrer's evidence the jury decided in
favour of the defendant.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

We wen ail at supper together, and we were chaffing about
the pickles. The prisouer's wile said that the prisoner
never got the pickles she liked, and she said she would go
out. The plainer said go, and first kicked his wife. Sue
said, "Oh, Harry, what have you dose r he said,
..dismay, whet have I dose!' She then saw wane blood,
and the primmer this said, "Fetch some mu, fetch a env
goon, I have killed her."
Mr. Berket—Had that. been any quarrel
Witneee—None. It was all a lark.
Polloeconstable, 444 A, rid that when he first arrived
at the house be was told that there had been a quarrel.
Police-constable, 514 N, said that when he went to the
house be was informed that there bad been a few words.
Mr. Barker asked if the woman was now out of danger.
Police sergeant M'lntyre said he was yesterday informed
that she was still in danger.
Mr. Barker ea id he would remand the ease to see bow the
unfortunate woman progressed.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Patrick Walsh, sixteen years of see, was charged with
maliciously cutting and wounding Timothy Hurley, also
sixteen yarn old.
Both lade are shoeblacka, but neither belong to the brigade.
Blood was trickling down the cheek of Hurley, his fingers
were cut, and he had one welted au the temple, and another
at the hereof the head. He stated, " This morning I and
my brother were in Whitechapel, and Welsh came to us,
and said we should not earn any halfpence. I said, " Cu%
I earn as well as you and he then struck me in the eye
with his fist. Some other boys came up, and he stabbed me
three times. I was taken to the doctor's.
Charles Reeves.-I'm a ahoeblack, and saw all this.
Hurley went serous to Walsh's side of the road for a job.
Walsh struck his box. Lots of us ran up and struck his
(Walsh's) box. He stood still a minute, then seized Hurley
by the neck, sod stabbed him with a knife three separate
times. He raid he bed no right to go over on his side of
the way.
Serjeaat Donoway, H division—Tberes not any regula-
tion to that effect ; prisoner made it • ride himself. He
told me that he committed the assault is ealf-defenoe, as be
was being struck with this stick (nearly as thick as man's
arm), and that all the others were upon him. I took this
clasp-knife from bins. It had blood on it. He says that
the other abosblecks don't do businewi fairly—that they
work for half price, taking • half pulpy instead of • penny,
or be should Dot otherwise make any objection.
Prisoner, who declared that he bad been very much ill-
need, but could not deny the fart of having used the knife,
was remanded. _ _ .

THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN CORN TEA DE.

(From the Mark Lane Exorrea.)
The rain, so long ardently desired, came down
abundantly on Tuesday, and the benefit has been incalcu-
/able. More would have been very merviosable to Os
country ; bat with harvest work at its zenith, perhaps it
might be hotter deferred. It will serve to give that kiedli-
nem to the barley which the few specimens brought to
market required, and make the wheats yield better in the
mill. Spume's of the latter became more abundant as
the week advanced, and the consequence was that the
first prices could not be nearly realised. The quality
turns out finer than generally expected, exhibiting an
appearance of unusual strength, and in some respects
like the produce of Australia, as the cousequenoe
of the great beat sod drought. We shall soon be able
to report upon the quality of flour produced, lolly ex-
pecting • favourable result. Upon the yield, however,
there yet remains the greatest uncertainty ; but with •
wintu's frost that thinned the plant, and an unkindly and
frosty time fur blooming, it is very probable that it will prove
under an average as • whole. Market. have still bees doll,
as the consequence of fine weather, and old wheat very little
wed for ; but with such irregularities as attend the first
isles, we cannot speak much of a reduction. Besides, we
ere not yet so far advanced as to be out of danger ; and,
should heavy rains set in, the grain would be in greater
danger of sprouting from ita unusual dross. The
turnips and mangolds will be saved by Tuesdays tine. The
grass yet wanta coosiderably more ; but the soil will now
he loosened for working, and farmers be fully employed
every way. Those who can afford to wait • little will
be very likely to do so, where the yield is bad ; but such
as have fared well, as on the fine well-farmed Imes it is
likely they will, may be content with the quantity, and
take markets a they come, as the vermin often prove very
destructive, and have does so this year. The harvest con.
times to proceed favourably in Europe. Paris notes dul-
' nese and rather lower rates. Belgium and Holland show
but little change. Duels has cheapened in continuum. of
English advises, and at New York breadatuffs have been
receding in value, speculation having ceased.
The arrivals off the coast since the sth instant were seven
of which only one cargo was wheat, three maize,
three barley. Business wan tranaszted at the following
rates Odessa wheat. 38e. • amber lows, eos. ;
Wealth* 38e. 6d. ; maize, 275. 141. to L'9o. ; barley,
Zia. 6d. to 235. per qr.
The sales of English wheat noted last week were 97,201
qrs. at 41s. Id., against 70,1134 qrs. in 1863.
Tee London averages were 465. 3d. on 1.616 qrs.
The imports into the kingdom, for the week ending Gth
Alusftdat, were 176,850qr5. wheat, 70,400 ewes. flour.
Monday in Yukioe opened on small English and good
foreign supplies of wheat The morning brought but a
small accession of samples ; but so far as old were con-
cerned, they were not needed, some good samples haviag
been offered for the fortnight previous in vain. These,
therefore, could only be sold in part by accepting • further
decline of Is. per qr., making the reduction Is. per qr. for
the couple of weeks. Some new appeared of fair quality,
both red and white, prices varying from 425. to 50s. per qr.
The foreign business remained inactive ; bat holders would
geosrally have conceded h. per qr. on all qualities. On Wed.
usday there were 490 qre. per coast, 6,710 qrs. foreign.
Business was then rather more easily transacted, in cotter
quotas of the heavy rain which fell on Tuesday, and most
dthe old samples of English were cleared at fully Monday's
prices. lo foreign rather more was doing at the same rates.
Friday's returns were 490 qrs. coastwise, 10,880 qrs. foreign.
Very little old was then offering, but with the weather
sppareo.l7...set at again,l d
market,alnese
Mon but former ""be consequea
could tot be
obtained within several shillings per quarter. Very little
was doing in foreign.
The supply of country flour was rather below an average
on Monday, but there were more foreign sacks than of late,
and further good arrivals of American barrels. Country
sorts were very slack, and the previous rates were scarcely
obtamable. Barrels were rather cheaper ; but for 'inequali-
ties, which are well represented iu the late import", there
WY • steady demand. Town rates remained the same. On
Wednesday there were 800 sacks per coast, and no foreign.
Norfolk' were more any to quit at former rates, as well as
fine American ; but there we. so improvement in the prices
of either, and town quoutione stood the same. Friday's
quantitate were 1,640 socks per coast, 1.380 barrels foreign.
This was a very dull day, is spite of the falling off of
Americas barrels, bat no quotable difference was made is
the value of any desceiption.
There was again but a small supply of barley on Monday,
more especially of home growth. A few good samples of
new malting were brought to market, and though the berry
was small, the quality was pretty kindly, the average
value being about 375. 6d. Forage malting eons were
rather lower in consequence; but grinding sorts, though
but • dull sale, maintained their values. On Wednesday
there was nothing per cout, 680 quarters foreign. Business
remained on • retail soils, and consisted chiefly in sales
of griedieg foreign at the previous currency. Friday's
returns were still aothiu coastwise, bat 1,390 qrs. foreign.
There was then no new feature in the trade, though less
demand for fresh heavy foreign was ea perienced in come
11 queue of the appearance of new English malting aorta.
Fine malt fully maintained its valuson Moodsy ; but other
deacriptiou were • slow sale. Prices through the remainder
of the week were unaltered.
There we. another heavy arrival of foreign oats on Mon-
day, but sot many from the United Kingdom. The late
reduction stall kept up a fair demand, especially for Russian
MIN which had been affected moat ; but many dealers,
being well is stock, were disposed to wait, rather than go
further • so there was less briskness than on Friday. Oa
Wednesday there were 710 qrs. per 03•■•• and 6:20
Irish, and 24,870 qrs. foreign. With • fins rain and
heavy arrivals, less was paring in this grain ; and to have
sold in quantity rather lee' money must have been taken
more eapecially for Remise qualities. Friday's quentitiei
were 1,440 qrs. coastwise, I,EIO qrs. Irish, and 59,870 qrs.
foreign. Tins very heavy supply with • return of tine
weather was 'vitas imitates, and the value of Russian
samples gave way about 6d. per qr.
The supplies of beans on Monday were again moderate,
both of home growth and foreign. Bates were well sup-
ported, from more unfavourable reports of the crops. The
week closed firm.
Teem were bat few English peas. ma Monday, and not
many from abroad. Burnoose was inactive, but prices firm.
There was so subsequent change.
With • small arrival of bowed and continued free demand
for cake at full prior, this seed was le. per quarter higher.
Bates were fully as high cm Friday.
But little was generally passing in seeds. Clovesseed and
trefoil remained firm ; some cur of the latter was fine.
Canary, raps, and other seeds were fully as deer.
With mourned appearances of DOW wheat in the country
markets many places were dull and lower. Birmingham,
Boum, Geleshorough, Lynn, Louth, St. lye. Spalding,
Stockton, an Worksop were Is. lower. Sleaford was 2s.
does sod Bury St. Edmonds noted a decline of 2a. to 3s. per
qr. ; but, on the other heed, Hull, Leeds, Manchester, and
several other markets, were quits as high as in the previous
week.
Liverpool was steady all through. Spring corn, with the
exception of =slung barley, maintained about formes
prices.
Edinburgh was Is. per qr. cheaper for wheat, and Glas-
gow 6d. per qr.
At Dublin, the want of water quite stopped business.
The Paris flour market has bees exceedingly dull through
the week, and prices have receded about 2f. per 157 kilos.
(say le. 4d. per seek of 2eolba). The current rates for the
first qualities have bees 47f. to 52f. per 157 kilos. (300.
to 33e. Bd. per 2801b5.). The six marks for the current mouth
MOW 51f. 21. e. per 157 kilos. (334. Id. per 28011 a.). Surcely
anything we. paining M type-Paris, which, for the current
mouth, was quoted 31f. 500. per 101/ kilos. (31e. gad. per
2801b5.), and for the last four martini of the year If. more
(or is, per seek). Very little has been doing in wheat, not
much being offered ; but se the other hand buyen were ex-
tremely reserved. The !crium of the water limited the ma-
nufacture of flour, and though prices were earner, millers held
back. The ranee eras 271. 50r.. to3of. per 190 kilos. (say 425. to
465. per qr.). By. without much business remained wialtend
in vale--say 131.25 x. per 115 kilos. (245. 6d. per qr.). No
new barley had yet appeared et market ; so chug* had
occurred in the value of old, choice still being held at 16f.
50e. per 100 kilos. (255. per qr.) ; lower kinds down to hit
(225. 6J.) Bat few oats were offering. and priors were coo.
sequeutly well sustained-say IGf. per 100 kilos. for the best
De Brie (19s. per qr.) ; inferior doers to 151. per 100 kilos.
(14s. 6d. per qr.) Rapeseed was cheaper aad dull, quota-
tions being 45f. to 47f. per 100 kilos. It was the subs with
Trifoliate iscureatum, which had fallen to tiof. to fat per
bale. The new wheat at Bordeaux was considered far less
valuable than last year's, sad millers ally inquired foe old ;
but the donned for that was limited in consequence of the
want of water. The best La Veedie was quoted 181. 50c.
per heck (42e. 9d. per bale.) Marseilles was in perfect calm,
the only sale rioted being a parcel of Danube. The eeuatry
markets generally were much the same.
The arrivals of wheat at Autwerp continued very email
-say 1,200 qrs. during the week. and prices is cow.
queue, were Ono. Baltic red remarried quoted 455. 6J. per
quarter ; American winter, 445. 6d. ; white, 46e. 3d. ;
Polish Odessa, 425. Though the rye harvest was well
secured, prices were firm '.ll consequence of the deficiency of
forage. Rumen old to 27a. Barley was unaltered. The
stock of wheat on July 31st was 35.000 qrs. ; rye, 12,700
qrs. ; barley. 9,000 qrs. ; flour, 2.128 sacks. With abort
supplies at Bruges, prices also were the same. Ghent, for
this reamer, war slightly dearer. At Liege all grain was
dull excepting all.
Amsterdam ham been dull, though qmitatioss remain
little altered. Mixed Polish wheat, 40e. to 50e. ; Friesland,
291. 6d. to 405. 9d. ; American to 45e. Rye (much offered)
was about 9d. per qr. cheaper. Bye MIS also rather lower
at 11 sestrieht. ad wheat dull.

Scarcely anything was don, at Porrestruy, the farmers
being in fall harvest for fifteen miles round. There was,
however, general eatiafactiou as to the quantity and weight
of the wheat ; but there were fears for the root-crop sod
Lite potatoes. Wheat. 41a. Bd. to 43e. 6d. ; oats, 23e. 3d.
to 275. 6d. ; barley. 235. to 23a. 6d.

At Cologne the drought and heat have beet exceadve,

fold 40'., is very quiet. The piece market has bees tolerably
well attended, but merchants are still very cautious is
operating. The American houses are doing notbiog at all.
Machinery notwithstanding is wall employed, and in the
