WORM I P-ST BEET.

William Watts alias Mitre, a portly well-dressc man,
woe placed at tho bar before Mr. Hammill, charged with
having obtained goods toe large extent from various trades-
men by false sad fraudulent represeatations.
Samuel Aylott, foreman to Mr. 'fliomas Searles, a leather
dealer in the Mile End-road, stated that on the evening of
Tuesday last the prisoner entered the warehouse, and
having intimated that he wished them to execute an order
to a considerable amount, selected about 2/Ibe. weight of
patent boot soles, of a superior description, and requested
that they might Le forwarded to his residence in the
Triangle, at Holloway, in the course of the evening. The
prisoner stated at the time that his name was Howe, and
having been apprised that the goods must be paid for on
delivery, carelessly answered .` Oh, yes, certainly,
1 always pay ready money, and expect the same in all
my dealings." The goods were immediately sent to the
above address, but the porter having returned without
the money, witness at ones proceeded there and
saw the prisoner, who, in answer to his appli-
cation for immediate payment, reads a violent
blow at him, which caused him to stagger back several
paces, and shut the door in his fare. On the following
morning witness again called at the house, and found a
• large van at the door, which the prisoner was busily en-
gaged in loading, and on demanding the amount of his bill
the prisoner coolly told him that he must call for it at 7
o'clock in the evening. Witne e, however, instantly ob-
tained the assistance of a policeman, with whom he re-
turned to the house and gave the prisoner into custody.
Robert Uardiner, porter to the prosecutor, stated that on
delivering the package at the house the prisoner told him
that unless he was furnished with change for a 201. note he
must call again (or the amount On telling him that it was
as much as his situation was worth to lease the goods with-
out the money, the prisoner replied, " Oh, nonsense, you
must call at 7 o'clock in the evening," and closed the root
upon him. Witness, however, waited for some hours about
the neighbourhood, and about 4 o'clock in the afternoon a van
was drawn up in front of the house, to which
the prisoner hastily transferred several large packing-cases
and other articles, and on again asking him for his money,
he repeated hie former intimation that he must call for it at
seven o'clock. After watching the van, which proceeded to
• small house in the neighbourhood of West Smithfield,
where the first load was deiivered, witness hastened home
to communicate what had taken place to the foreman, who
instantly repaired to the prisoner's house, and gave him
into custody, while he was an the act of removing another
load from the premises.
Mr. Mammal considered that a clear prima facie ease of
fraud had been made out, and ordered the prisoner to be re-
manded for a week.

BUISTOL, JUNE 24.

Sugar: The market liss been rather inactive this week,
and prices must be quoted rather in favour of the buyers.
The transactions reported since cur last consist of about
600 !ais. West India, chiefly to the refiners, who are by
no means so anzious to keep up their stocks as they were
a short time since. Refiners' produce is dull, and rather
lower. For rum there is a moderate demand at former
prices.

SILK.—The following notice of the public sales of silk
is from the circular of Messrs. Durant and Co.:—The
public sales are concluded—they commenced yesterday;
the quantity printed 1,800 bales China and 1,700 boles
Bengal rilk. As is usually the case in a quiet state of
market, there were no bidding., the whole passed off
rapidly—some little business has been done by private con-
tract, but nothing of importance, some lew hundred bales
of each elass—prices remain as before.

COTTON.—LivzRrooL, Ruiz 25.—The operations in
our cotton market during this week have had the character
of much steadint A+. In prices there has been no change ;
and our scale of quotations will remain unaltered. From
the United States there is nothing of importance. The
cotton season may be considered as having closed, the crop
proving equal to the highest calculations of quantity, via.,
about 3 millions of bales; and fortunate it is to all portico
concerned that such is the case. The large addition to the
stock of Egyptians has given the buyers a little more choice
in that description ; the good qualities, however, are in de•
mind, as well as nearly all sorts of Sea Islands, at the raised
prices of the last fortnight. The committee of brokers quste
fair Uplands at Sid.; Mobile, 51d.; Orleans, GO. 9,410
American, 190 Surat, 100 Egyptians, 400 l'ernams, are re-
ported to have been taken on speculation ; and 3,990 Ame-
rican, 340 Surat, for export. Sales for the week, 4,410
bales.

WOOL-I,l%llllcent,, Juan 25.—A fair latent of bu.i.
nem has been done this week, and prices are well supported.
The principal arrivals have been from Portugal, and of all
other kinds the stocks are very light.

LIOSIERY, 6;e.—LntessTEß, June 25.—Business has
been more animated this week. Some of the London houses
(owing, we presume, to the advance in Wools and Yarns)
have been down making arrangements for goods for the
autumn trade. There has also been an additional amount
of shipping business done—whether from the confident an-
ticipation of higher rates ruling in the wool market, or
from other reasons, we are not aware ; but it is understood
that most of shipping stocks have been cleared off. The
Glove and fancy demand is less active, but, u Austrian
Wools are now enhanced in price, it is prolmble the orders
for the autumn will be given out earlier than usual, and
that the accumulated stocks will be much diminished ere
long. We fear considerable difficulty will he experienced
in establishing new prices in manufactured articles, though
we have no doubt of the maintenance of the advance inWools.

CORN.—Citeursvortri, June 25.—A small supply of
Wheat at market to-day; the weather being fine caused
buyers to act with caution, and last week's prices were
about maintained on white, and red was rather dearer ; 41s.
to 425. red; 475. to 495. white. Beau scarce, and rather
dearer.

DP.VIZE4, June 21.—Today we had a moderate supply
of Wheat, but the improvement in the weather checked
the disposition to purchase, and a dull market was the re-
sult; nevcrthelese nearly everything wee sold, and at an
advance of Is. • qr. on last week's prices. In Barley
nothing doing, and prices nominal. Oats were in good de-
mand, and Beans and l'ess were Is. a or. dearer. Wheat,
white, per qr., 48e.; best red, 425. to 4'o's. ; middling, 365.
to 421. ; inf. riot, 321. to 364. Barley, 2Gs. to 325. Oats,
19s. to 21t. Beans, 30s. to 38s. fees, 31s. to 365. Flour,
fine, 324. to 35.. per sack; seconds, 30s. to 32..
Lim ot.s, June 25.—We had a thin attendance of far-
mers at our market to-day. The show of Wheat woo dull ;
trade at last week's prices. Nothing doing in spring Corn.
Wheat, red, 38s. to 415.; white, 425. to 465.

LITERI•OOL, June 25.—1 n a few of the leading markets
of this country held in the early part of the week, Wheat,
Beans, and Peas are quoted rather dearer, owing to the
late rains; more generally, however, they laye failed to
produce any decided effect upon prices, and in most cases
the trade seems to remain in a tolerably steady position,
with little variation from previous rates. in Ireland a
good consumptive demand continues to prevail, both for
Wheat and Indian Corn, the latter article rather receding
ill value, but stocks reduced within a very narrow compass.
Prompted by a further heavy fall of rain here on Wednes-
day, several large parcels of foreign Wheat changed hands,
and prime samples realised a slight advance upon the cur
Tetley of the preceding day. Flour also, though not in
active request, was taken to a moderate extent, and held
more firmly on rather higher terms; the weather, however,
clearing up in the afternoon, and yesterday being fine, the
demand abated, and during the remaiader of the interval
since Tuesday few sales transpired. Of English and Irish
produce we have again to report very scanty supplies; and
those from abroad into this port since Monday
last are light compared with the large arrival
noted on Tuesday. The weather being more favourable,
though apparently not settled, our market this morning lost
much of the animation previously observable, yet, with a
moderate demand for Wheat of most descriptions, the full
prices of Tuesday last were steadily maintained. Flour was
saleable to a fair extent on the same terms. A moderate
demand for grinding Barley, as well as Peas, at previous
rates ; and Egyptian Beans found more free buyers at 3d. to
6d. per qr. advance, some purchases being made for ship-
ment coastwise. Oats and Oatmeal continue exceedingly
dull of sale, at prices almost nominally the same as before.
Having several Irish buyers over, and a more general de-
mand for shipment in moderate quantities, with no fresh
imports except Egyptian the last few days, Yellow Indian
Corn brought to-day 6d. per qr. more money ; white descrip-
tions, however, though rather more saleable, were 111 l int-
piovcd in value, prime American being still obtainable at
28,. lid. to 295. Arrival, into Liverpool from the 22nd to
the 21th June inclusive :—Wheat, 4,870 qrs. • Malt, 30 ;
Oats, 2,702; Indian Corn, 1,43; Oatmeal, 1,103 sacks;
Flour, 902 sacks and 4,619 barrels. Exports to Inland :
Wheat, 212 qrs.; Indian Corn, 3,413 ; Flour, 1,000 hrlc
WAILIWIELD, June 26.—The weather hits been more
favourable this week, which, with *good arrival of Wheat,
tends to check the trade, and only a limited business is
done at the rates of this day sen'aight. Barley nominally

the lame. Oat. and Shelling as before. Beans do not vary.
Malt is held with more firmness. No alteration in other
articles. Imports during the week : WheA, 9,320 qra.;
Barley, 167; Oatt, 181 ; Beans, 383; Shelling, 280.
