THE POLICE COURTS.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Lord Gardner was summoned by the proprietor of Batt's
Hotel for having a lung pit iu Dover-yard stables, of which
Lord Gardner was proprietor, which emitted an injurious
smell.
About two months ego, similar proceedings were taken
against his lordship on the same grounds, and the affair
terminated by a promise on the part of Lord Gardner's re-
presentative that the pit should be emptied so frequently as
, to leave no room for complaint.
' Mr. Denney, who attended for the proprietor of Batt's
Hotel, stated that the nuisance had not been abated, but,
on the contrary, had been increased. The pit had not been
emptied as frequently as the complaining parties had a
right to aspect.
Mr. Bateman, one of the proprietors of Batt's Hotel.
proved that the pit was placed under the beck windows of
the hotel. That his visitors had complained of the smell.
and that the smell was unhealthy. He had kept a list of
the days on which the pit had been emptied since the last
summons, and found the average of times was every four
day
Mrs. . Bovingtoo, another proprietor, corroborated the eel-
dence of his partner.
Mr. Johnson, surgeon, who hal lived in the neighbour•
hood twenty years, all the pit was in a filthy condition,
and very prejudicial to health.
Another witness named Horn proved that he had seen
the pit recent' in a Milky condition.
Mr. Baafeed, isapeaffir of nuisances, had visited the pit,
and /cried
ma seromeletien of clung in it.
Mr. Cleans, et emeidembie length, contended that the
proceedings were in themselves irregular, and that there
was iis reality no gradation for the present complaint.
The labia bad been crested regardless of cost, and every
presentiem had hen Wan to prevent the yard from being
in the hest lapse eihmehe to the neighbours.
The =grime* tbeided upon making a personal inspec-
tion of the pit goingielned of, and judgment was deferred
accordingly.
SOUTHWARK.
Moms Turner, relieving overseer of the City of Lon-
don Union, was charged with sneaking Mrs. Mary Iva.
The complainant stated that on Friday last, between 11
and 12 o'clock, as she was standing at her street door, No.
I, Duke street, Stamford-street, with her infant, the defen-
dant came up and inquired if a woman aimed Jes-
ting& lotii:d there. sho replie4 in the Rapti's', but the
defendant insisted that she did, Ind expressed his deter-
ntheankin to search the house in order to find the person he
mob& Complainant, however, objected to such an in-
trudes, when the defendant said he should go into the
house, and was making towards the staircase, when she
went between him and the foot of the stairs, and tried to pre-
vent him. He had a stick in his hand, and he struck her on
the knuckles with it, and afterwards hit her on the arm, the
mark of which still remained. Finding that she was deter-
mined not to allow a stranger to enter her house In the
absence of her husband, the defendant then withdrew, and
brought back a policeman with him, and they both went
upstairs, and searched the rooms at the top of the house,
and when they came down they went away.
The defendant eras-examined the complainant, and in
reply to his questions she admitted that he told her that he
was the relieving overseer of the City of London Union.
and that he wanted to see a pauper who had been receiving
out-door relief, and who, he had reason for believing, was
then in the house.
The defendant entered into a lengthened defence, the
effect of which was that he went to thy complainant's house
in quest of a woman, who was living there to his know-
ledge six months ago, and who was strongly suspected) of
imposing upon the City of London Union. That he subj.
bit 4.4 his papers to the complainant, and explained the
motives of his desire to go up stairs to look into the rooms,
but she refused to comply, and, in fact, was the aggressor
on the occasion herself, for when he tried to ascend she
dew at him, and he was glad to get out of the place. That
finding she was bent on not allowing him to search after
the woman he wanted to see, he brought back a policeman
with him to convince her that he was only acting in the
performance of his duty. He denied most solemnly that
he had assaulted the complainant in the manner she
described, but he called no witness to verify the truth of his
assertion.
Three witnesses were examined, who confirmed the com-
plainant's evidence as to the nature of the assault, each of
whom stated that they distinctly saw defendant strike com-
plainant with his stick as was described.
Mr. Seeker, in strong terms, condemned the manner is
which the defendant acted on the occasion. There was se
doubt be bad duties to perform of au irksome nature as re-
lieving overseer, bat he was not at all justified in foreleg
himself into the complainant's house, and although she
assarcil him there was no person of the name he wanted
lodging there, still his insisting on a search was alto-
gether illegal on his part. The magistrate added, that
believing in the truth of the evidence adduced against the
defendant, he should indict a penalty of 31. on him, and in
default of payment sentence him to one m .nth's imprison-
ment.

MARKETS.

COTTON.—Ltraaroot, Barr. 30.—The miles of cot-
ton to-day are estimated at 12,000 bales, of which no less
then 7,000 have been taken on speculation. They include
7,000 American, 1,500 of which were taken by speculators ;
1,000 Ferman and hiaranham, at 614. to 71d.; 1,100 Babia
(1,000 on speculation), at 60. to 614. ; 6,000 Egyptian
(4,500 on speculation), at 6d. to llid. ; 600 Surat, at 91d.
to op. The imports since this day week are 25,000 bales.
The market closes very firmly ; compared with Friday's
rates prices of American are id. per lb. dearer ; common
Egyptian is id., the middle qualities 111., and the good
sad fine d. to Id. per lb. up. The buying of this sort is
Seem. AU other kinds are unchanged.
MI. Camas, Burr. 30.—We have had a fair business
is eaten yarns and cloth, and prices have been somewhat
further strengthened by the advice, again to hand of hard-
=Men markets in the United States. Almost all
M yam especially of the finer and better descrip-
tions, Min request, and cops for home use and bundles of
40's to 60's male for India are very firm in price. For
printers taw has scarcely been so good a demand u of
late, but Mei they are taken in large quantities at full

an a regent at tell prim. On the whole there appears
to be • Imlay business doing, but spinners are obtaining
more motive prim than manufacturers.

WOOL.—Brannan, Sept. 3ds—Tba business is cer-
tainly not large, and the opportunity!, do or squally small,
for tie Ow at which staplers bold their stock acts as •
broke to the spinners buying more freely. The quantity
cooing to mutat is an average, but the high prices which
have boom establialsed in the country maker the whole bu-
siness not only norwounerating but unsatirfactory. Neils

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 1. —The position of the Wool market
since the last moathly report has been highly undertow
with regard to demand, end large sales could have bees
readily effected, but for the scanty supply from all queolort.
For some time past we have continually had es le
large on the attention of the importing merchants, Oho as.
amity there is for a better and larger supply of Wool=
sallies no doubt have arisen in procuring the article

bun soli EMI ppbably leave • margin for profit on the
IOW; mal mein can be anticipated as to any likelihood
of • dais deg a considerable time, as the movements of
dos orrtalleelnewes in extending their mills, and their
Mrs 411111.161,1101, only bring the inference, that
OW puma mood sennot be met, unless greater facility
it shoo to rip Importation. When the prices an
stoma at, at this period, and contrasted with what the
yew bus been, many are fearful to sand out orders, but
wise* It is considered that the quotations were low through
amomereial depression, heavy stacks, and limitation in the
working of machinery, the reverse of this being now the
het warrants the assertion that the raw material cannot be
dear, when demand regulates value. It may further be
remarked that the Wool trade is not buoyed up with
speculative purchasers at present, and the consumption is
based on a sound and firm source, leaving no question as
to its healthy state, and the market closes with a good
demand for all descriptions. Upwards of 4,900 bales of
various kinds, were offered by auction on the 9th and 10th
ult. ; the attendance was large, and a fair competition existed
for most classes ; Australian sold freely at about the same
ratios* the Loudon sales held ashore time previous; fine white
East India was in request, and realised • slight advance,
yellow suffered • trifling decline, coarse white brought
extreme rates, and in the lower sorts, no change ; moot of
the Turkey and Cordova Wool withdrawn, buyers not feel-
ing disposed to give the prise demanded, since then, nearly
the whole has been taken for consumption ; no good white
Egyptian offered; Spanish frontier and Lisbon received
more attention thaa usual ; only a moderate quantity of
Baines Ayres sold, which went heavily, the burrs being the
drawback to We Waal being in favour; other °lames sold well.
By private treaty tales are in Oporto, Wasador Australian,

Scotch There has been a moderate demand for kid and
white Cheviot, without alteration; laid eras is is fair re-
quest; nearly all the white Highland and white Galloway
was sold on arrival; some large sale* have been made in
laid Highlend at full value, and every prospect continue* of
the demand being kept up. English and Irish : Some sales
have been made in fleece, though not to any great extent,
what remains here is firmly held ; in skin a good business
is doing, and no stock to fall back upon.—from Joseph
Robinson mid Co.'s Circle's,.

MANUFACTURES. —BRADFORD, Sept. 30.—Yams
For some months past there has been an active demand,
quite equal to the supply, and the buyers for Russia are
now nearly closing their orders. many of which have had to be
returned unsecured. During the period of activity but little
hu been bought for Germany, and less sent to Lancuhire,but
for the latter market more is doing ; and if the Germans are
likely to require theirordinery quantity for the winter, we may
look for activity to the end of the year, and probably higher
prices realised, for t►e spinners complain Rut the price of
woo► rules too high to enable them to cover cost. Pieces :
There is a steady business doing, but the purchases now
making are chiefly confined to small lots to assort up stocks,
yet the trade is generally bare of stock ; and with the firm-
ness in the price of cotton warps, and upward tendency of
worsted yarns, there is no chance of any lower prices, for it
is admitted on all hands that the business of the summer
has been of a very unremuncrating character for the mann-
facturers.—Drodford Observer.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. Horn:volt st,
Sept. 3U.—There is not any increase in demand for either
hosiery or lace goods since our last. The continued high
pries of yarn operates very seriously against lace makers, as
they cannot obtain a proportionate advance on their pro•
duce. The hosiery trade is not any worse, and maculae.
timers are now daily expecting to receive their accustomed
orders for all descriptions for the home and American
trades.—Notte Journal.

CORN.-BlentrIOH•11, Sept. 30.-Daring the present
week the transactions in the trade have again been limited.
The sales reported of Wheat are at previous rates both for

ther lower. Beans and Peas were less in request, but both

BELETOL, SEPT. 30.-We have had a tolerable supply of
English wheat to-day, but the samples txbtblt, for the 011 At

Devices, Sept. 30.—We bad a fair supply of Wheat
the demand was good, and both old and new fully realised'
lest week's prices, the turn beinz slightly in favour of the I
seller, particularly in the new Wheats, which were in im-
proved demand, while old Wheat was, in comparison,
latter. There were a few samples of new Barley, which
sold very readily, the best realising 345. per qr. Oats were
scarce, but the supply was quite equal to the demand. In
Beans no alteration to note. There was one lot of new
Peas, the condition of which was bad, and 15s. a sack was
eked. Tares dull, at from ss. 6d. to 61. 6d. a bushel. Rye
dull, at 19s. a sack. Present prices: Wheat, white, per qr.
545. ; best red, 495. to 525.; middling, 40s. to 495. ;

. . .

Nzwisvillr, Sept. 30.—The supply of Wheat continues to
timed the demand, and inferior qualities decline in price,
but fine new and old remain stationary, though the sal*
proceeds slowly. The quantity of fins Barley is email, and
commands ready sale, at from 31s. to 33e. per qr., and
grinding sorts are not cheaper. Oats, Beaus, and Peas about
the same as last week.

I.lzansuos, Sept. 30.—The trade for Wheat is not lower,
and good 'auspice sell freely. The average value is 4.55. per
qr. Raw Wheat, from 36e. to 625. ; and old, from 465. to
68e. per qr. Barley, 265. to 31s. Oat., 19s. to 235. Rye,
4a. 6d. ; and Tame, fn. to 6s. per bushel.

Waviaronn, Sept. 29.—Our arrivals of Indian Corn
continue large, but of Wheat they are small, as well from
our fanners as from abroad. The deliveries of Oats are
tolerably large. Our market remains firm at the prices of
last week for all articles.
EDINBURGH, Sept. 29.—The supply of grain wu again
large. The demand was good for all sorts, with last week's
'prices, as regards Wheat and Barley, while Oats and Beans
declined. Wheat, 445. to 48s. Barley, 21a. to 295. 6d.

advance noted last week,which is now fully established. New
Limerick 42 lb. oats were retailing at 151. 9d. to 166. per
264 lbs., end old were held for full prices. Barley was
much inquired for, and 20e. W. to 21s. per 320 lbs. obtained
for 63 to 61 lbs. new Scotch. Egyptian beans brought the
extreme rates of last week, and feeding descriptions brought
rather more money,

CATTLE.—DIRBT MICHAILK•I3 Fitlll.—Thie fair was
held on Monday last, in the Friar-gate. The supply was
not lute. Barren Beasts sold well, and new calved Cows
were in demand, at good prices. For lean store stock there
was bet a dull sale. There was • plentiful supply of
Sheep, and good prices were realised for store Sheep and
store Lambs. The Ilene lair was a little brisker than
usual.
SALIOIiD Sept. 30.—We wee, largely supplied
with stock to-day, and though the attendance was
large, buyers had a slight advantage in both Beef and
Mutton. A considerable quantity of stock of an inferior
kind unsold at the close of the market.

WAKIFIRLD, Sept. 30.—At this day's market wo had a
very large show of fat Beasts of an excellent quality. The
number of Sheep 5,000. The attendance of buyers was
very numerous, and a good business done at the following

per lb. The show of lean stock was very fair, and an ex-
cellent supply of Pigs. At the close of the market all
disposed of.
EDINBCROH, Sept. 29.—The supply of Cattle this morn-
ing was larger, there being 683, or 169 more than lest week,

tion. A few prime Beasts brought 7s. ad., being the top

dling and inferior aorta', from 6s. to fe. Od. per Dutch
atone. A clearance was not effected. The supply of Sheep
and Lambs was less, particularly of the latter, the num-
ber being 4,267, or 402 fewer than lest week. The attend-
ance of buyers was numerous, and prices fully equal to

Ile. 6d. • current price, from 92. to 10s., and down t, 7s.
per head. At the elan they were all sold.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SALE OF FARM STOCK.—The
predictions of the " farmers' friend' " were never more com-
pletely falsified than on Thursday, at the sale of Mr. Moon's
stock at Kelland Barton, in the north of Devon. There was
a numerous gathering of !agriculturists from the neighbour-
hood and distant parte, and the oldest farmer present never
remembered higher prices ever having been given for farm
stock. The competition throughout was most spirited. The
stock consisted of 80 choice Leicester ewes, 25 tows, and 15
boar pigs, 4 oxen, 5 heifers, I Devon bull, and several horses.
The animals weep in fine condition. The draught of 80
store ewes fetched from 50s. to 76e. a-head. The pigs (which
were Fisher Hobbs's improved Baez breed) were next sold.
The first low realised 151. 15e. ; the next, a three-year old, '
was knocked down at 311. 10s.; a 10-months old sow,
111. Os. 6d. ; another, 11 months old, 111. lls.; another,
181. 71. 6d.; one, 14 months old, 111. Ils. ; and another,
four months old, 161. 10s.; and the rest were sold at pro-
portionetely high prices. Two boar pigs fetched 261. 51.
and 171. de. 6d. The proceeds of the she were extraordi-
nary, and far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of all
interested

STATUE OF TUE DUKE OF BIUDGEWATEIL—It is
expected that the Earl of Ellesmere is about to carry out a
promise made by his lordship some years since, to the effect
that if the people of Manchester should ever raise moms•
ments to Peel end Wellington, his lordship would present a
companion statue of the late Duke of Bridgewater, to whose
great canal undertakings the town is indebted for much of
its earlier prosperity. It is said that the statue is to be a
very costly one (10,0001. hes been mentioned), and that
when the three memorials are completed, they will be placed
in front of the infirmary, either on pedestals rising from the
sheet of water in front of that edifice, or from a grass plot to
be laid down in front of the infirmary, and attending W tho
pelMdes la Piccadilly.
