snick him several severe blows on the side of the head.
So vioi.nt woe the assault that he was quite powerless to
,datend himself and was nearly strangled, and had he not
suceseded in Attesting the attention of the servants
his life would have- been placed in —great danger.
Complainant added, that had he been disposed to defend
himself he could not have done so from having recently
fractured one of his arms. He neither did strike nor could
have struck the defendant.

The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he was igno-
rant of the injury the complainant had suqtained. With

Cooper was enabled to leave the room and to bring in the
servants. Ile would further say, that the 0611111 of the
affray involved matters of a most painful nature, which had
reference to many persons of high respectability. It was to
avoid exposure that he begged the complainant as a father,
a man, and a friend to give up a certain letter. It was the
refusal to comply with this request which produced the sub-
sequent unpleasantness.
Lieutenant Cooper said, if the magistrate required it,
he had a witness in court to rebut the defendant's state-
ment.
Mr. Hardwick considered the assault sufficiently proved,
and as he should send the ease to the sessions any further
evidence could be brought forward on the trial.
The dsfe lint was ordered to find bail, two in 501. and
himself in 1001., to answer the charge at the sessions.

COTTON.—Liviaroox, Jew. 26.—The sales to-day are
estimated at 7,000 bales, reclusive of 1,500 on speculation.
They comprise 4,500 American, 250 Pernam and Harm-
ham, at 6114. to 7d. ; 800 Egyptian, 6d. to 9fd.; 1,300
Surat, 31d. to 4id.; 60 Sea Islands, 19d. to 2214. The
market closed firmly ; no change on Friday's rates, except
American, from sid. to 614., which are against the buyer.

MANCHESTER, JAN. 25.—The yarn and cloth market is
fully as firm as last week, but the American steamer net
having come in with advices from the cotton markets of the
United States, there was a shyness amongst buyers, and we
have not had much business. The home trade and export
buyers are in the market still, and the business in yarns in-
cludes a pretty wide range of numbers and almost all quali-
ties. In cloth there is still a fair demand for India qualities
of shirting*, and printing cloths are still in good demand
for the home trade.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—LEEDS, JAM. 25.—There has
been s very fair business done in both Cloth-halls to-day.
Stocks continue very low.

WOOL-Hi

Jan. 25.—1 n Wool' we Lave

a good business doing, and were it not for the quantity
brought forward at the forthcoming sales being rather
heavy for the season, a further advance would be obtained.

DIANUFACTURES.-H1

Jan. 25.—. The

demand for all sorts of manufactured good; still continues,
but the supplies are scanty, and not sufficient to meet pre-
sent demands, and manufacturers are wisely refusing to
take orders without an advance, as from the high prices of
wool and oil it is now impossible to make up goods at
former rates.

CORN.— HULL, Jan. 25.—There was a good supply of
English Wheat to-day, and for the most part out of con-
dition.
The market was very heavy, and only picked mm-
plea of dry Wheat were saleable at the rates of last week,
say about 475. to 495. per qr. 631bs. Very little inquiry for
foreign Wheat, but no alteration can be noted. Barley is
not offering plentifully ; fine samples are enquired for, and ,
would fetch a good price. For other articles we have a re- '
gular consumptive demand. The Linseed market is well
supported, and Cakes are unaltered in value. Rapeseed is
worth more money, and Cakes continue in demand for
feeding. Imports from Jan. 15 to Jan. 21: Wheat, 2,423
qrs.; Barley. 1,459; Beans, 835; Peas, 216; Tares, 87;
Linseed, 6,698 ; Oil Cakes, 245 tons ; Bones, 200.
LEEDS, JAN. 25.—We are fairly supplied with
wheat, for which the trade is very inactive ; anything fine
and choice fetches Friday's rates, but all other descriptions
are Is. per quarter lower. Barley steady at last week's
prices. Little passing in beans or oats. and these, with
Other articles unaltered in value. Arrivals this week :
Wheat, 6,184; Oats, 308; Barley, 1,633; Beans, 960; Shel-
ling, 108.
twin/Poor, Jas. 25.—The import note this week
shows good supplies of oatmeal and, oats from Ireland ; of
flour, coastwise, from London; and rather large of wheat
from foreign ports. The exports lot wheat and flour to
Ireland and coastwise have somewat fallen off this week.—
The weather has undergone a favourable change, and since
Friday has been dry and frosty. The grain trade through-
out the week has been without animation. There has been
no inclination to preu sales of any article, and prices have
been considered se well supported.—There war a small
attendance of buyers at the Corn Exchange this morning,
and a very limited inquiry for the leading articles of the
trade. The few transactions in wheat were at barely so
good prices as were obtainable on Tuesday, while the gene-
ral runs of Western Canal flour were offered at fully 6d.
per barrel reduction. Good oats are scarce, and command
late rates, but secondary aorta were id. per bushel, and
oatmeal 6d. per load cheaper. Egyptian beans also 6d.
per quarter lower. In bar.cy, pear, and Indian corn there
was no change of quotations. Arrivals from the 18th to
the 24th Jae., inclusive, into Liverpool and Runcorn:
Wheat, 22,992 qrs.; Barley, 3,048; Malt, 2,131; Oats,
5,480 ; Bean., 327 ; Peas, 561; Indian Corn, 1,716; Oatmeal,
23,383 sacks; Flour, 2,351 sacks, and 13,609 brio. Exports
to Ireland: Wheat, 2,082 qrs.; Indian Corn, 753; Flour,
650 sacks, and 1,482 Ws.
