WESTMINSTER,

John Newman, a powerful-looking fellow, was charged
with the following brutal assault :
On Saturday night he returned to his lodgings, 22,
Yeomans-lane, 13rompton, accompanied by a common pros-
titute, with whom he locked himself in his room. His wife
came in shortly afterwards, and being informed of the cir.
cumstance, naturally became much excited, and, accom-
panied by the landlady of the house, knocked at the door of
the apartment. In two or three minutes it was opened,
when the fellow rushed out, and having felled his unfortu•
nate wife to the earth by a desperate blow, and attacked the
landlady in the same brutal manner. The insults were
both committed in the presence of a policeman, who pre-
vented any further violence by taking the prisoner into
custody.
Defendant, in answer to the charge, replied that he
merely asked the prostitute in to take a little rum with
him, when his wife and the landlady came to the door and
made a great bother about it.
Mr: Broderip observed that nothing could be more dis-
graceful than his conduct. Although his wife did not
appear to exhibit any charge against him, it was quite clear
that he had treated her in the most brutal manner, and
having disposed of her, next proceeded to knock the land-
lady down.
Defendant was committed for two months in default of
paying El.

dency, and ill-aupplied. American are to id. dearer ;

CORN.—Nonwicit, August 14.—Our market this day
was well atteniltd by merchants, who olf.red Wheat in
large quantities,and fur the season there was a large attend
ance of farmers, who offered freely of old Wheat ; there was
very little new on show. During the pas. week much rain
has fallen, and (with the exception of a few hours on
Monday, when there were a few stacks of Wheat secured)
a stop Mai been put to harvest operations, and the Wheat
is in a great many cases sprouted, and with the
blight and mildew we fear the quality must he
vary inferior. To-day has been fine, with the barometer
indicating more favourable weather, our market opened
brisk, at an advance of 4s. per quarter on list Saturday's
prices, and this was chiefly in consequence of tho wildness
exhibited by the surrounding petty markets. However,
market closed dull, at 3s. per qr. advance. Flour trade
small ; few buyer., at :is. per sack more money. No trade
at present in Barley. Beans and Peas steady. In Oats no
change. Wheat, old. 41, to 455. per qr. ; new, 445. to 465.
Brans, 365. to 375. Peas, 325. to 31s. Oats, new, 235. to
2.13. ; old, 225. to 26.1. Flour, 31s. per sack.

CATTLE.—CoLenosven, August 14.—The supply of
Sheep and Lambs was good, and the trade a little revived,
but with no particular alteration in prices. Good fat Beef
end Mutton fully maintained former rates, the demand
being rather brisk. There was but a limited show of fre,h
and lean Beasts, which was more than adequate to thu de-
mand, as so few purchasers were at market, and prices
slightly declined. A lot or two of tolerably good milch
Cows were readily disposed of at fair prices. The supply
of Piga was good, and the trade brisker than of late. Good
jointers were in request, and sold et an advance of from 2d.
to 34. per stone of Sibs. Supply. Sheep and Lambs, 6,210;
Beasts, 139; Pigs, 310 ; Calves, 12 ; horses and Bonk+, 5.i.
Auousr IG.—A good demand or all
descriptions of stoc.c, sad nearly aU sold up.

Nottwteu, August 14. —Our market to-day exhibited
a tolerable show of store cattle, but, being in the
midst of harvest, few buyers were present, and last week's
price, barely supported, without anything like a ch .ranee
being effected. Fat beasts none worth notice. The pens
were well filled, and keeping Sheep' Limbs, and breeding
CWC4 in good demand, at last week's prices. Fat Sheep,
a large number, and prices Irons Gs. (id. to is. per stone of
141 b.. and all sold. In store Pigs and fat Pork no altera-
tion worth notice.

LOCKERBY LAMB FAIR, August 13.—The show of Lambs
was rather below an average, estimated at from 50.000 to
60,000 head. The stock was all on the bill by seven o'clock,
and business commenced early, and continued throughout
with briskness. By mid•day the ground was pretty well
cleared, and scarcely any lots were unsold. The chief de-
mand was for Cheviots, and especially for ewe Lambs. Se-
veral dealers and agents from Ireland purchased largely
in this stock, and helped prices. Price ran lrom 10s.
to Va., which gives a rise over last year of from Is. 6a.
to 2a., or in some cases a little more. Ball...bred Lambs
were not so quickly sold, holders standing fur high prices,
which, however, they ultimately obtained. Prices varied
from 14s. to 235. 6d. ; the generality of good lots from Iris.
to 215., and down to the lowest figure quoted. The rise in
this description was from Is. to •!s. per head. There were
a few blackfaced Lambs shown, and fur them the RAMC
prices were given as those current at Lanark. The day was
very favourable, showing tho Sheep to great advantuge,and
an immense number of people were present.
