MARKETS.

COTTON. —Lrexaroot, Mance B.—The market closed tamely, and
well ',applied with all descriptions of American at the prices of yes.
terday. The sales were 8,000 bales, of which GAO were American,
(1,000 for export and 1,009 on ',peculation), 400 Pan= and Maras-
ham, at 51d. to 71d.; 400 Bahia, at 6d. to 6:41.; 300 Egyptian, at
bed to fid.; 700 Surat, at 3d. to 31(1. (300 for export); and 4) Sea
Wands, at la, to 2s. W. per lb.

COTTON GOODS.—Mascuwerea, hfaarn B.—We have very little
more business doing, but the prices of Tuesday are fully maintained;
and though these are rat quite equal to the advance recently effected
on the raw material, the change has Imparted a more cheerful feeling.
Some few orders which have been kept back for lower prices have
been placed, from as impression that the lowest point has now been
turned. The improvement is onlyllpartial ; and, taking this view of
affair., Mesas. John Fender and Co. Mill advise a further resort to
short time. They say: We still hope that short time working will
be more generally adopted. The example ought to be set by our inde-
pendent and wealthy producer., which would, we believe, be followed
by those who are in • position to do No. This may be forted upon us,
as the present large consumption of cotton gives the Liverpool emu.
lator greater power in controlling the cotton market. Since the news
of the Cur's death an advance of to f per pound has been este.-
blished in Liverpool, and, as this is not likely to be responded to In
this market, producers will be placed in a worse northern than before..
The re:orted raising of the blockade of the Danube and the liberation
of supplies of corn are producing a good effect on the market.

CORN.—BIRMINGHAM, Masco B.—At Gladeteeter market, on the
13rd, wheat was St. to te. per quarter lower : at Worceeter, same day,
holders would not submit to a reduction of over ie. to 2e. per
quarter. Barley unaltered. Oats more saleable at a decline of 14.
per quartet. During the prevent week the: e has not been mucb
diaatiee for business with either buyers or sellers, and to h►ve
effected sales much lawn prime must have been acceded to for all
snicks of the trade. At this day's market there was a less supply of
wheat from the farmert, which told readily at a decline of 2e. per
quarter. Barley unaltered. Oats oßering lower without finding
bu)ere. Beans snort inquired fur. Peas continue very unsaleable.
Drama% Masse a.—The tall of prima at Mark. lane on Monday,
had not that effect here that was expected, for with a file topple of
wheat the decline in price wet enly from 2s. to 3e. per qr., at which
reduction a limited trade was done. Barley was in moderate tu;.ply,
and prime about aslant week. In other grain no alteration, bat the
demand for seed corn was good.. Wheat, Met red, 68e. to 705.; mid.
dlitig, 38s. to fina.; laferior, eta. to 381: Barley, 30s. to 36e. Oa'.,
28s. to 3Ge. Beans, 4[o. to lie. Peas, 37e. to 475. Flour, &IC, per
seek, lire. to 355.; seconds, 4vs. to 325.

Zdascussrau, MMICH 8. -There yes a good attendance at our mar_
ket this market, and a better inquiry wee experienced thin during
the week; the amount of bushress transacted was, howerer, only
limited. Wheat inclined Gd. per 70 lbs., flour rally 'e. per seek, eats
Id, per 13 Its., oatmeal Is. per load, and beans le. per quarter.

The policeman—Nothing but a precious hard bite that
cut me to the bone. I produce the counterfeit half-crown
the prisoner gave to the female, and part of the counterfeit
shilling he gave to the landlord of the Black Raven.
The prisoner said he was ready to swear that be had
nothing in Lis month but another person's finger, and he
did net know what business it bad there. (A laugh.)
Mr. Jarman, from the office of the solicitor to the Mint,
submitted to the alderman that the cue was precisely one
for the Old Bailey, and the prisoner was accordingly com-
mitted for trial.
Henry Ferris, a City Police-constable, was summoned
before Alderman Rose, by Mr. Storey, of 62, Fleet-street, on
e: charge of having committed wilful perjury.
It appeared that, on the 24th of February, Mr. Storey
was summoned by Ferris before the City Police Commis-
missioners, for not clearing away the snow from his door.
The defendant in his evidence swore that, to the beet of his
knowledge, the snow was not swept from the footway is
front of complainant's shop, on February 14th. Mr. Storey,'
however, called :witnesses to prove that it was, and the
commissioners dismissed the information. The allegation
now made against Ferris was, that he knew the snow bad
been swept away, and bad spoken to the complainant's boy
while engaged in sweeping it.
In support of the charge, Mr. Storey, ll. Jordan, his shop-
man, and Edwd. Engine, the boy who swept away the snow,
were examined ; but in cross-examination they contra•
dieted each other so palpably that Alderman Rose dis-
missed the information, and ordered the defendant one
guinea costs.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
A gentleman from the firm of Melton and Clarke, print-
selms, attendel before Mr. Hardwick, in referenoe to •
statement made by Mr. Darvill concerning a picture sold to
them by Mr. Ward. It was thought that they had caused
a copy of this picture to be made, whereas they had sold it
to a dealer in Manchester almost immediately after receiving
it, and had not had time to make a copy even had they been
desirous of doing so. He hoped the contradiction would be
made public.
MARYLEBONE.
Charles Shen pe, the conductor of a Paddington Omnibus,
was summoned by Sir James South, for deceiving him
renp,ectiog the route et his omnibus.
The defendant was fined 20e., and caste.
Captain Ackerlew, !mown for many years as a speaker at
public meetings inLondon,was charged with being the father
of an illegitimate child, by Elizabeth McLean.
The complainant's witness being absent, the magistrate
tramissid the case, but the defendant having shortly after-
wards returned with a solicitor, and admitted the paternity,
the usual order was made, and the parties lett the court.
LAMBETH.
Edward Buckley, known as a pugilist, was charged with
committing a 'Wiest and unprovoked assault on the barman
at the Jolly Gardeners, Lambeth-walk.
The prisoner, who has long been the terror of the neigh- NEWPORT. ABERGAVENNY, AND HEREFORD RAIL.
