THE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-STREET.
A young man, who pave the name of Henry Devine, and
refused to state his address or occupation, "out of regard
for his family," was charged with stealing a quan.ity of
plate, consisting ekielly of silver spoons and forks, the pro-
perty of Mr. John Chapman, bookseller, of 142, Stnad.
Ann Barrios housemaid in the service of the prosecutor,
proved that she was in the hall leading from the private
entrance to the house, at about 2 o'clock in the day, when
she saw the prisoner walking down stain from the drawing-
room. She knew he could have no business there, madams
sequently called out to Dlr. Chapman, and followed the
stranger into the Strand, where be started off, at full speed,
in the direction of Baster-street. By this time Mr. Chap-
man, attracted by the glitter of his ownplate, which the
prisoner scattered about, was in eager pursuit of the thief,
followed by constable F 39. In Burleigh-etreet the prisoner
was overtaken by Mr. Chapman. Aker • great deal of
useless resistance, the prisoner was taken inta custody.
The whole of the stolen property was recovered and
identified by the prosecutor, who had seen it lathe drawing
room a few minutes previous to the robbery, while partaking
of luncheon.
The prisoner said that he merely took the plate with the
view of raising sufficient money to take him to Australia— i
intending, of course, to reimburse Mr. Chapman, if success-
ful at the gold diggings. He complained of being very
badly used by the prosecutor' who, instead of offering him
a glass of ale or something to refresh him, after a serious
fall in the chase, seized him by the cellar and nearly choked
him; but he wee willing to forget and forgive, if his offense
was looked over, and the magistrate would let him off.
Mr. Henry committed him for trial.
MARYLEBONE.
A sullen looking boy, named Thomas Quinlin,aged only
10, was plated at the bar charged with having feloniously I
assaulted another boy, named William Deck, by stabbing I
him with a knife, in David•street, Manchester-mums.
Frederick Power, of 83, East-street, depoeed that on the,
previous evening he saw the prisoner an other boys rush
out of York-court. The names of two of the party were
Regan and Bunday, the former of whom kicked the latter
upon the leg. Duck, who was playing at marbles at the
t ine, interfered, when he was immediately seized by the
prisoner, who struck him with great force upon the side.
He was then taken to a doctor, and subsequently removed
to his home.
Sergeant Knight, 10 D, stated that be saw the wounded
youth brom,ht out of the surgeon's shop. He told witness
that he had been stabbed by another boy. The sergeant
produced a certificate from a surgeon at the Maryle hone
Infirmary, which set forth that Dock was still in the insti-
tution, suffering from • wouud in the left buttock, such a
one as might have been inflicted with • knife • and that, in
consequence of the injury which he had sustained, he was
quite unable to attend to give evidence in the ease.
The delinquent was remanded till Wednesday next.
THAMES.
Jolus Beckett, a respectable-looking man, aged 26, of No.
2, Carpenter-street, Westminster, was charged with felon'. II
°ugly receiving a silver watch, a man's suit of clothes, and
other property, forming a portion of a large amount of
plunder.
A lad of the name of John Brown, alias Sailor Bob, is I.
custody, for robbing various lodging-house keepers, sad it
is expected, when he is again brought up, there will le at
least 60 charges against him. His practice was to pM a
sailors' boarding-house and represent that he had beta a
long voyage to the East Indies or Australia as • seams,
that his ship had just arrived, and that he had a large
animist of wages to receive after the discharge of the cargo.
He had really made a sea voyage, and his tale woo O• &
Me that he always received a hearty welcome frets the
hoarding-house keepers, and he likewise remained with lie
dupe, and played off the sailor to the life until he fatted
an opportunity of carrying away another seaman's chest, er
any other property he could lay his hands upon, besides
obtaining advances of money and board and lodging, on the
representation that he had wages to receive, and would pay
his debts when hie ship was paid off. This lad obtained a
lodging, under false pretences, in the house of Mr. Ws*
boarding-house keeper, No. 7, Albert-street, Shadwell,
and got up In the middle of the night, taking with him •
silver watch, a guard, a suit of clothes, a handkerchief, and
• shirt. Some of the stolen property wee traced to
the possession of Beckett, who is • horse keeper,
and -keeps a cow for the *ale of new milk, at
one of the standings in St... Jaime's-park. On Friday
night, in consequence of information, Dunaway, a detective
police constable, No. 129 H, apprehended Beckett, in the
Horsefeny-road, Westminster, and asked hits if he had re-
ceived any property of a lad named Sailor Bob, in Bs.
James's-park. The prisoner immediately said be had
bought a pawnbroker's duplicate, relating to • silver wank,
and another for a guard. Dunaway asked him if he hag
purchased: anything else of Sailor Bob, to which he re-
piled, " No, nothing else." Dunaway proceeded to tie pe4
soner's house, where he found two omits a pair of trowsere,l
a waistcoat, and several pawnbroker's duplicates. The pri-
soner admitted he had purchased the whole of Sailor Bob.
The constable found the watch and guard pawned with
Mr. Lloyd, in Stratton-ground, Westminster. They were
identified by Mr. Ward, of Shaded% in whose house John
Brown, alias Sailor Bob, had lodged for one night. Mr.
Ward also identified • waistcoat, found in Beckett's house.
Other property was identified by various persons who had
been patronised by Sailor Bob.
Beckett, in defence, said that a lad, called Sailor Bob,
came to kiss in St. James's-park, and paid for what he had,
and asked him to purchase some duplicates of various
articles, and said he was going to sea for 18 months, and did
not want them. He bought the duplicates openly at his
stand in the park, and did not know the sailor boy was a
thief.
Dunaway was recalled by Mr. Tyrwhitt, and said that
Beckett was very respectable, and he had receiveda high
character of him.
Mr. Tyrethltt said, under these circumstances, he would
accept of the prisoner's own recogniaances to appear en
Tuesday next, when Sailor Bob, alias John Brown, will be
again brought before Mr. Yardley.

.io a conclusion, exception
may be still outstanding. What grain has been
secured this week must have been got up in better order,
and consequently be more marketable ; still, however, the
fact remains, that the injury previously done was of such
a character as no future favourable circumstance can repair.
The accounts received from the country to-day are much
worse as to potatoes and turnips, and we fear we shall have
to report unfavourably of them as the season advances.
The trade during the present week has shown great inert-
ness, the natural result of the previous excitement, and
where sales of either wheat or flour have occurred, buyers
have had a slight advantage, whilst a tendency has been
apparent on the part of consumers rather to decrease than
add to their stocks for the present. Other articles have well
sustained their value. with a fair inquiry. At our market
this morning we had a fair supply of wheat from the
country, but from the coast the arrivals are liberal, and
which, being in excess of oar present requirements, such
qualities were offered at a decline of 2s. per qr., without,
however, producing an active business; below that, how-
ever, holders were not willing to accept, even to promote
transactions. In farmers' samples we have little varia-
tion to note, the demand for seed affecting the
value of these qualities less than other descrip-
tions. We had again some very wretched samples
shown, which were only suitable for starch or biscuit flour.
Foreign was generally held firmly, but our millers being in
sufficient stock fee the moment, only few transactions tran-
' spired. In flour so few transactions transpired that our
quotations may be deemed little better than nominal. In
rye no alteration. Fine heavy south country barley sold
fully as well, but to make progress with the intermediate
and ill-conditioned aorta, it was necessary to Rive way a
little. Malt scarce and inquired for. Beans and peas fully
as dear, with few offering. With oats we were scantily
supplied, end for such a fair clearance was effected at the
fall rates of this day se'nnight. The arrivals this week are :
—Wheat, coastwise, 4,595 qrs. • foreign. 3,019. Rye, coast-
wise, 20. Barley, coastwise, 2,307. Malt, coastwise' 136.
Oats, coastwise, 740. Peas, coastwise, 35. Flour, 2,833
seeks.

NORWICH, Nov. 5.-Our market this day was abun-
dantly supplied with wheat by the growers, and a consider-
able quantity also by the merchants. Condition very much
improved by the past week of fine weather-so favourable
for threshing. At the commencement of the market simi-
lar prices to lastweek's were required;andfin a few instances
paid, bat the large supply induced millers to act with cau-
tion, and before Oa close • reduction of 71. per qr. on last
week's rates were submitted to. However, a good deal re-
mained unsold ; farmers preferred waiting awhile, than ac-
apt each • material reduction. Flour trade f.o.b. dull,
aad 2e. per sack less than last week's rates would have been
. Barley trade brisk at extreme prices. Beans
sad peas no offer. Oats commanded fall price,. Wheat,
white, 781. to 82s. per qr. ; red. 72e. to 78,. Barley,
salting, 445. to 465. ; grinding, 375. to 40s. Oats, Ms. to
341. Flour, fine households, f.0.b., per sack of 2801b5.,
535. 6d. to 545.
Plenatnotovou, Nov. 5.-We had a large show of wheat
here today, and, the Carmen being anxious sellers, pur-
chases were made at 2s. to 3s. per qr., and in some cases 3s.
to 4s. per qr. below the rates of last Saturday. Barley was
no lower. Oats and beans more plentiful and cheaper.
RILDINO, Nov. 5.-The supply of wheat was very short
for this season of the year Notwithstanding buyers were
shy and indifferent in dealing, general runs must be quoted
from Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer than last market day. Barley
steady at late currency. Oats really good very scarce, and
realising • trifling advance, as do also new and old beans.
IVIBBECa, Nov. 6.-The week having been fine, has
enabled the farmers to make considerable progress in
threshing, hence we were well supplied with wheat at to-
day's market. The best dry samples must be written 2e.
per qr. lower, whilst the raw spring sown wheat, not weigh-
ing more than 541bs. to 561b5., was very difficult to sell at a
greater reduction. Oats, beans, and barley, all fetch rather
more money than last week. Prices to the growers :-
Wheat, old, 60s. to 745. per qr. ; new, 58s. to 765. Oats,
13d. to 14d. per stone. Beans, 465. to 555. per qr.
WORCIaTaa. Nov. 5.-Our market was shortly supplied
with wheat to-day, but all qualities sold slowly, at a reduc-
tion of nearly 26. per qr. Barley rather higher. Oats dull
at former prices. Beans again Is. to 2s. per qr. d .
Peas held for an advance of 2s. per qr., end very scarce.
Yost, Nov. 5.-There was a fair attendance of farmers
at our market to-day. The supply of wheat was not large,
sad prices about 2a. per qr. lower. Barley comes freely to
market and is a slow sale, at a decline of 2s. per qr. Oats
and beans fully as dear. Wheat, white, 70s. to 78s. per
qr. imp ; red, 725. to 745. Barley, malting, 40s. to 435. ;
grinding, 38s. to 40e. Malt, 68s. to 70e. Oats, 14d. to 1541.
. per stone of 141 be. Flour, 60s. to 635. per sack of 280Iba.
Dumas, Nov. 4.-There was but a moderate supply
of home grown grain at market to-day, and a good
deal of every description came forward in bad condition,
Wheat fully supported the currencies of Tuesday. Prime
barley was 6d., and prime oats 3d. dearer; middling quali-
ties of both were rather dull, bat not lower. High rates
were demanded for Indian corn, but the business done was
only trifling. White wheat, 38:. 6d. to 425. ; red do., 365.
to 40s. Od. ; barley, 16e. to 20e. Od. ; 15s. to 16e. ; oats,
new white, 13s. 6d. to 155.0 d. ; do. tawny, 121. to 14s. Od. ;
rapeseed, 275. 6d. to 295. Bd. ; oatmeal, 14.1. 6d. to 16s Od. ;
bakers' flour, 225. Od. to 265. Od. ; Indian corn, per 4801bs ,
40s. to 455. 64.
WATERFORD, Nov. 5.-We have had only one or two
fine days since this day se'nnight, and in consequence, the
supplies of farmers' grain to our market have been very
small ; from abroad the Juliette are confined to Indian corn,
of which the import has been to • fair extent. The subdued
tone of the English 'deices for wheat and oats has checked
the upward tendency of these articles is our market, but
barley and Indian corn have rather improved during the
'week. At to-day's market there was again a small delivery
of wheat from the country, and the condition being
bad, it sold slowly, at about former prices. Barley
was in rood demand, at an enhancement of 6d. per
barrel. Oats were in fair request, at the quotations of
Saturday last. In foreign wheat we have only to report •
limited bnsineu, at previous rates. For Indian corn there
has been a steady inquiry at full prices.. and holders now
ask an advance of 6d. to Is. per barrel on prime qualities.
Flour firm, without change in price. Imports :-wheat,
50 qrs. ; Indian corn, 5,930 ; flour, 240 sacks. Exports :-
barley. 570 barrels; oats, 7,000; flour, 1,993 sacks; oat-
meal, 600 cwts.

COTTON.—Lyrnwoot, Nov. 6.—The market closed
tamely and steadily, and prices of all kinds are unchanged.
Bales amount to 4,000 bales (all to the trade), comprising
300 Pernema and Marenhams at 6ed. to Bd. ; 200 Bahia.
131 d. to 131 d. ; 250 Egyptian, 51d. to 7d. ; and 300 Bunt,
44- to Sid.
MANCHISTIR, Nov. 6.—There has been a more cheerful
tone amongst all parties to-day, partly owing to the flue
weather and in some measure arising from the improvement
in the money market, but nothing bee occurred which can
permanently affect the market for the better. Until more
reliede information as to the new cotton crop fires the
prices to a greater certainty, and until the result of the
strikes is foreseen, it is unlikely that buyers can see their
way to large operations. The probability of a considerable
fall in prices were the production of the mills to be increased
by the general resumption of work in the present slackness
of demand will check operations of a speculative character,
and at present we have only such purchases u are necessary
good to suppl immediate wants. There is tolerable steadiness
for qualities of yarn, but for commoner kinds prices
are s htly in favour of the buyer. Bo also for cloths, so
far aa shirtinp and some other fabrics are concerned, but
there Ma been rather more steadiness in printing cloths.
There is nothing like activity in either cloth or yarn of any

WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Liaos, Nov. s.—There has
been a slight improvement in the market today; more
animation prevailed, and better business bar been done.
Business Ins been dull and quiet is the warehouses during
the week.

HARDWARE —Binstisonam, Nov. b.—Trade here
remains in the satisfactory state last reported ; just now
there appears to be no drawback of any kind, neither are
there any complaints, except it be that the goods ordered
cannot be obtained of the =mutat-riven. We hear daily
of manufacturers having orders enough in hand to last un-
til Christmas, and in many instances prices hare been con-
siderably advanced. The gun barrel makers are busy,
orders from the Board of Ordnance having imparted in-
cresseil activity to that branch of trade generally. The
home trade continues remarkably good, it being in no per-
ceptible degree 'prejudicially influenced by the high price of
provisions ; 01 the contrary, the oonntry shopkeepers are
giving orders considerably beyond the average, their stocks
being generally low, having undergone an unusual clear-
ance with the high price of metals last year. A ribs in the
market price of silver, coupled with the probability of its
increasing scarcity for a time, has not been without its in-
fluence on those branches of manufacture into which silver
enters, but it has not in the slightest degree depressed
them—for candelabra, and indeed for bothelectro and silver
fancy warm of every description, the orders are perhaps
larger then they ever were before, both for at home and

CORN.-CcAnitiorix, Nov. 5.-We had a large supply
of wheat and barley at market to-day. Wheat was from 21.
to 3s. cheaper. The best description of barley made quite
as mach money ; secondary sorts, Is. to 2s. cheaper. Wheat,
68s. to 765. per qr. Barley, grinding, 375. ; malting, 40s.
to 50s. Beans, new, 465. to 48s. ; old, 525. to 645. Oats,
235. to 30s.
I CANTERBURY, Nov. 6.-We bad a good supply, and
barely maintained last week's prices. Wheat, brown, old,
70s. to 78s. per qr. ; new, 68s. to 78s. White, new, Bs. to
fiLs. Barley, 365. to 445. Oats, 27s Beans, 455. 6d. to 468.1
Peas, 465. to 60s.
CARLISLE, Nov: 5.-With a fair supply of wheat this
morning, an advance upon last week's rates of Is. 6a. to
2s. per bushel was obtained. We bad an average supply of
barley and oats. New oats and barley brought an advance
of 3d. to Gd. per bushel ; but for old oats last week's prices
were not exceeded. For new wheat prices Is. M. to 2s.
above quotations were paid oy parties for seed. Wheat,
white, new, 295. to 3'25,; old, 31s. to 331. Wheat,
red, new, 28s. to 30s. ; old, 29, to 31s. Barley, new

COLCHESTER, Nov. 5 —An
barley, peas, and beau ; to effect sales in the former Is. to
21. leu money had to be taken. Barley a slow sale at last
week's prices. Beane and peu Is. dearer.
GLOUCESTER, Nov. s.—At to-day's market there was a
moderate show of English wheat, and in improved condi-
tion, hat union have determined to pay the eatreme prices
of last week. To make sales in foreign, it would have been
neosmary to accept le. lower than previous rates. No change
in bum, salting or grinding barley, wit► a good demand.
