THE POLICE COURTS.

George Holland a¢(l.7ii;;Tiilk;,lTho have frequently
been convicted for outrageous assaults on the police, were
charged by Markrow, 126, and Base, 167 E, with having
assaulted and seriously injured them.
Markrow, at a late hour on Monday night, was going
round his beat in Leigh-street, Burton-crescent, when
Holland, who had concealed himself in a bye-place, rushed
upon him, and struck him a severe blow on the cheek, and
they kicked him whilst he was down. He gave a signal,
and the prisoner Burke made his appearance, en
"which they both heat and kielreti hint moil the
arrival of Base, 157 E, who attempted to assist him, but
both prisoners attacked them with great violence, and
fought, bit, and kicked at them, by which ti,ey were much
bruised. At length, with the assistance of other officers,
they succeeded in taking the prisoners to the station-house,
after a most desperate resistance.
The prisoners denied the charge, and said they ware M-
used by the police.
Mr. Corrie sentenced each to two months' imprisonment,
with hard labour.

-- ---
Numerous inhabitant householders of St. Andrew's,
Holborn, appeared, pursuant to summonses, on postpone-
ment, for the non-payment of tithes claimed by the Rev.
bir,Mansfield and Dr. Worthington.

Mr. Corrie made orders in th;Cases roved to be entitled
to pay through occupancy, whilst in other instance. the
defendants were dismissed, b►ing allowed 10s. costs.
HAMMERSMITH.

An elderly man, named IVillians Hilton, living in Mar-
ket-court, Kensington, appeared to answer a summons,
charging him with having cruelly treated a horse.
Fisk, of the F division, stated that about 12 o'clock on
the 6th instant, at the bottom of Wight's-lane, near the
new workhouse in Kensington, be found the defendant,
who bad hold of a horse which he was breaking in. It had
a bit in ita mouth, and the defendant had hold of a rope
wbieb was fastened to the bit. The defendant struck the
horse repeatedly with a whip which he had in his hand,
and he (witness) understood from some of the bystanders
that the defendant had been whipping the poor animal for
upwards of two hours. While witness was standing there
the defendant pulled the horse right over upon its back, and
the animal seemed in a profuse state of perspiration. Upon
witness looking at the horse he found the body covered with
marks and wales, as if it had been most severely flogged.
The defendant said the constable had told a great many
falsehoods, and he denied having ill-used the horse more
than was necessary. It was a spoiled mare, and would rear
up and throw itself back without the slightest cause.
Mr. George Stephenson, a gentleman residing in Berl's-
court, said he saw the defendant flog the horse wick his own
whip for about three-quarters of an hour, and after that a
carter in the brick-field came up, and, at the direction of
the defendant, he commenced beating the poor animal with
his heavy carter's whip, and continued doing so for nearly
twenty minutes.
Mr. Beadon observed that the using of the carter's whip
would account for the evident severe punishment the horse
had received.

... ..,_.
The witness said both the defendant and the carter
struck the horse with their whips as hard as they possibly
could. _

The defendant, who appeared to treat the matter very
dghtly, said he had broken in horses all his life for noble•
men and gentlemen, both in England and Scotland, and be
had never been interfered with before.
Mr. Beadon was quite certain that if the noblemen and
gentlemen the defendant referred to knew of his haying
used a carter's whip over the body of a hem in breaking it
in, they would never let him break in another. He must
tech persons that they cou'd not be allowed to break in
horses in that manner, and he fined the defendant 20s. and
2s. costs.

The defendant Mid he would not pay a fraction.
Mr. Beadon—Then you will be committed for 14 days.
The defendant—For 14 years if you like.
He was then locked up.

MARKETS.

COTTON.—LIVERPOOL, Jtyzrz 11.—The cotton market
has been active since the receipt of the last American ad-
vice,; and witlithe rather more pacific tenor of the conti-
nental advice, today, prices of the lower descriptions of
American chiefly in demand for speculation are nearly
Id. per lb. dearer than on Friday. The sales today
amount to 10,000 bales, of which 4.500 were for export and
speculation, and include 100 Egyptian, at Bd. to 171 d., and
500 Surat at 311 to 414. The sales since Thursday
amount to 30,000 bales, and the imports to the same num-
ber. A leading speculative house has been busy again
to-day, and is, in fact, almost the only buyer on specu-
lation. _ _ . _ _

MANCILISTER, JUNE 14.—The hope that the conduct of
Russia may not call for actual hostilities on the part of this
country and France in the Turkish question has given rather
more animation to the market for cotton yarns and cloths,
and all sorts of light fabrics have sold rather freely at a
slight advance. The reports from America of increased
rates for cotton, as well as the strikes taking place, tend to
a continued advance of prices, but buyers concede it very
reluctantly. In yarns there has been rather more business,
and 40's mule was id. higher. The demand has improved
for Germany, India, home consumption, and all the markets
except those of the Mediterranean, which arc still dull for
obvious reasons. The turnout still continues at Stockport,
but at Bolton the employers have given the weavers an
advance, which has induced them to continue work. At
Blackburn, a small section of operatives, called twistersia,
who affix the reed to the warp in the loom, have demanded
25 per cent. advance, and it is feared their strike will stop
the other branches. A largo failure was reported in Man
chester this morning, but is not traceable to any authentic
source, and is believed to have arisen in some misconcep•
tian on the part of a creditor who gave rise to the report.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LEEnc, Junn 14.—There has
been a fair market to-day. In the coloured cloth hall about
an average Tuesday's business has been done; but in the

white hall there has been a on4iderable demand for me- I
ilium and lathe; chichi, and in those goods a brisk trade baa
been done.

CORN.-1101.1., June IL—Althnugh rain is reported to
have fall,a in many parts of the country within the last
two or three days, this district has had now for above a
week, until this afternoon, when a slight shower or two
took place. It is, however, much warmer, though the
nights, are cool. Rain is greatly needed. There has been
a good demand for all descriptions of Wheat during the
week, and imports have been well cleared off at an advance
of fully' 1. per qr. for all descriptions. White Wheat forms
the bulk of our supply. We had a good attendance of
farmers at to-day's market, and a fair show of fresh Wheat,
which met a brisk sale at 2s. to 3s advance, sh. to 545. per
qr. being the current rates to the grower. Not much fresh
lore•gn left unsold, and the advance quoted above is well
supported, and more attention is directed to chambered
parcels. Barley keeps the advance noted last week,
and very little is on sale. Oats are 61. dean r.
Beans continue scarce. Of Peas we are wholly
without stock. Not much Linseed offering, and the
market is very firm, as arc also Cakes, indeed they are
again 2s. 63. per ton dearer. Very little business passing in
Rapeseed and Cakes. The arrival of Bones is beyond what
demand can take off, and the market is 20. 61. lower: owing
to the long-continued drought the consumption of Bones is
less than usual this year. Imports from June 4 to 10 :
Wheat, 4,872 qrs. ; Barley, 930; Oats, 40; Beans, 1,14 G;
Peas, GO; Linseed, 550 ; Oil Cakes, 137 tons ; Bones, 572.

largos, June 14.—There is a better show of fresh Wheat
up fur this day's market, and undee the influence of fine
weather, the trade is less active than of late; holders how-
ever are firm, and the extreme rates of Friday are main
• ained upon the limited business done. Barley, Oats, and
Shelling as before. B-ans scarce and fully as dear. Other
articles unaltered. Wheat, 4702 qrs. ; Oats, 204; Barley,
55; Beans, 73; Peas, 133; Malt, 480; Rapeseed, 1332.
LIVERPOOL, June 14.—1 n the British markets, held on
the concluding days of last wet k, the trade in general was
reported more active, and \Wheat, as well as other leading
articles, higher in value. In several parts of Ireland like- ,
wise, the trade for Wheat, Oats, and Fleur, was stated to
have assumed increasing firmness, with a rather up-
ward ten cney in prices, those of Indian Corn alone being
noted somewhat lower. A few parcels of Wheat and Oats,
coastwise and from Ireland, include the only receipts worth
naming thence into this port since Tuesday last; of Ameri-
can and Black Sea Wheat, however we have to note a good
supply, with a tolerably fair import of Flour and Indian
Corn front „ the United States, and of the latter 700
quarters front Bayonne, but no arrivals during that
period from Canada, the north of Europe, or
Egypt; the exports at the same time being moderate.
Tnere were few buyers in attendance at this day's market,
and the general reports from the country being favourable
as to the benefit to the erdps from the late rains, attended
with a more general belief in the ultimate pacific solution of
the Eastern question, the trade has lost the buoyancy re-
cently observable; the transactions in. Wheat, of any kind,
are of but mrderate extent, and entirely for consumption,
and the value of this day week is merely maintained.
Flour is offered more freely; the amount of business is
more restricted, and any advance made at the close of the
week has been conceded to-day. Grinding Barley and
Beans, from scarcity, command an advance of about
Is. per qr. Fine Oats realise rather more money,
but Oatmeal, upon a dull sale, scarcely main-
tains late prices. Indian Corn is in limited request, several
parcels are of red ex ship on somewhat easier terms; there
are no fresh arrivals off the coast, and anything distant is
not in demand. Arrivals into Liverpool from the 7th to the
13th June, inclusive: Wheat, 18,460 qrs. ; Barley, 3.53 ;
Malt, 153 ; Oats, 5,447 ; Peas. 83 ; Indian Corn, 6,865 ;
Oatmeal, 131 sacks; Flour, 1,093 sacks; 8,910 brls. Ex-
ports to Ireland: Wheat, 783 qrs. • Indian Corn, 3,319;
Indian Meal, 648 brie. ; Oatmeal, 2:33 sacks ; Flour, 1,206
sacks; 1,855 brls.

LTNN, June 14.—We have had rather a better supply of
Wheat to day, and a slow trade, at is. per qr. advance.
The Wheat ear is generally out in this neighbourhood.

NEWCASTLE, June 13.—We have at length got some
rain, which wax much wanted, but we apprehend it will
have been only partial. During market hours we experi-
enced a heavy fall of rain. As our market this morning we
had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, and from
the coast, as well as from abroad, the arrivals are to a fair
extent, but the great bulk having passed direct into the
hands of the millers, the trade opened with less animation ;
having, however, a numerous attendance of buyers
from a distance, sales were effected at an im-
provement of Is. per qr. over Saturday upon sweet parcels,
choice farmers' red making Ms. ; and select white, 60s. ;
whilst for Holstein red, 51s. was acquired. Red I.7cker-
mark, 565. ; and new Rostock, 5135. per qr. ; whereas Sile-
sian white touched 595. per qr., all weighing 631 b,. per
bushel. Flour was in fair request at a further advance of
Is. per sack ; extra households commanding 38s. ; and white,
up to 40s. per sack. Our millers raised their price to 40s.
to-day, which rise is likely to be established, as our dealers
are mostly low in stock. Rye unaltered. Grinding Barley
is wanted, and inclining upwards, and the same may be
said of Malt. Beans and Peas without any material change,
hut Oats may be written rather dearer. Scotch, with a
slight chamber smell, weighing -nibs. per bushel, being
saleable at 205.; and fine fresh, 421b5., at 225. per qr.

MANUFACTURES.—HUUDERSFIELD, June 14.—We
have had a rather better attendance of merchants in the
Cloth-hall to-day, and more business has been anus than
for a few weeks hack ; but it is quite evident buyers are
transacting their business very cautiously, with the idea,
no doubt, that the raw material has reached its climax.

WOOL.--RUDDERSFIELD, June 14.—Wools being now
more abundant in stock, we have a better demand for fine
and middle colonials, although manufacturers seem not dis
posed to buy beyond a few weeks' consumption.
