THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

Charles Wheeler, who was some days ego ebarged with
having attempted to steel part of the gas-pipe in the tap-
room of the Golden Fleece Tavern, in Queen-street, Cheap-
side, was brought before Sir Peter Laurie for final exami-
nation.
Mr. G. Johnson, of Bride-lane, Meet-street, licensed
victualer, said—On Friday week the prisoner ewe to my
house, and was going into t►s parlour. I did not at all
like his appearance, and I showed him tho way to the tap-
room. I gave directions that he should be watched, for 1
suspected that my pots were in danger. He went In and
had a pint of beer, and came out and paid for it, end re-
turned the pint pet, and the newspaper which he had been
reading. Immediately after he went, the tap-room, in
which he had been the only customer, was filled with gas,
and the pipe was missing. If anyb)dy bad gone in with a
light, the consequences might have been serious.
Several ether publicans were present who had been
robbed of gm-pipes, but they could not identify the pri-
soner as their visitor. _ _

...
Sir Peter Laurie sentenced Wheeler to imprisonment and
hard labour in Holloway Gaol for six weeks.
GUILDHALL.
ANN. Come!!, a van driver in the employ of the Great
Western Railway, was brought up charged with committing
• most brutal and unprovoked assault upon Mr. Trunott, a
printer,_ of Blackfriars•road.
Mr. Truman stated he had business at the London and
Joint Stock Bank, and on coining oat end stepping into his
chaise, the prisoner came up, and without the sligliest pro-
vocation struck him on the head with the butt-end of a
waggoner's heavy whip. He was stunned for the moment,
and on recovering himself he band the blood pouring from
• wound on the head, inAieted by the prisoner's blow. The
part round the wound wee very mach swollen and painful.
Two respectable witnesses corroborated this statement,
' and one of them said he saw • gentleman In a chaise, • shot t
time previous, strike prisoner with his whip for driving on
the wrong side of the road.
The prisoner said he mistook the complainant for the
gentleman who struck him.
Sir R. W. Carden said nothing could justify such bru-
tality, and, In order to check it, he would make en example
of such savage fellows as the prisoner, by punishing them
very severely: He fined the primmer U., or in default
three weeks' imprisonment.

WORSHIP-STREET.
A respectably-dressed elderly man, named James Bouch-
ard, described u a chandler, carrying on business in
Priem-street, Spitelfields, was placed at the bar before
Mr. D'Eynconrt, charged with having feloniously received
a largo quantity of bacon'es the property of Mr. Joseph
Heentednp, a wholesale cluemeingu in the Whitechapel-
road. _ _ _

On the afternoon of Friday se'anight one of the
tor's servants was sent ant to deliver a articled oregooedsw,
which had been ordered by his master's customers, but on
reaching the end of Great Garden-street, Spitallields, he
discovered that the tail board of his cart had been adroitly
removed by sun thieves, who had abstracted a tub of
' butter and flu sides of badinorith which they effected their
eaeaps befeentation of the robbery was immediately com-
mnaieated to Sergeant Jackson, a detective °Meer of the II
division,to whontlorrtain disclosures were subsequently made,
which induced him to proceed to the prisoner's shop ; and
on questioning him as to whether a quantity of bacon had
been recently left there, he positively denied that such was
the fact. The sergeant wu accompanied at the time by one
of the prosecutor's shopmen,who overheard the conversation
between them. and immediately directed his attention to

Awes Lip, a meg mousse, described as a cook in the
family of a gestieinan in Peckham, and Elisabeth Cogkus,
an old wiemea. said to be • forte's teller, were placed at
the bar, beibre the Hon. G. C. Norton, the former on •
cheer ef emeealing the birth of her illegitimate child, and
the railMe for administering drugs for the purpose of pro-
curing shorties.
- -

On the day before Sergeant Lyster, of the P division, pro-
ceeded to the house of the younger prisoner's master, and
charged her with concealing the birth of an Infant, of which
the had been delivered three weeks before, and giving the
baby to be taken away to Mrs. Coglan. The prisoner re-
, plied that the chugs wee perfectly right, that there had
not been any medical man present at the birth of the child,
end that she had taken some powders given to her by Mrs.
Coglan to destroy the child, and further, that, when she
gam the body of the infant to Coglan, that person said she
would make it all right. The admissions made by the
younger prisoner were volunteered after she had been
motioned that anything she might say would be used in
evidence against her at another place, end as the wit-
nuns said, she seemed anxious to state the truth. The
other prisoner (Coglan), on the contrary, at first denied all
knowledge of the young woman, or the charge made
against herself, but subsequently admitted that she knew
and attended Kedge, and had given her some "hickery
picker," in a powder as a medicine, but not with tbe in-
tention of causing abortion, but improving her health.

Mr. Alfred Sedgeley, the coroner's officer for the parish
of Camberwell, deposed that on the 29th of August last the
body of a male child wu found in the Surrey Canal, not a
great distance from the house of the elder prisoner. On
the Slat an inquest was held on the body, and after hearing
the whole of the evidence the jury returned a verdict of
" Found drowned," adding that there were no marks of
violence on the body, nor proof of vitality. In reply to a
question from the magistrate, the witness said that it was
the opinion of the coroner and the jury that the infant had
• only attained its sixth month, and in fact that it was only
a six months' child.

Mr. John Thomas Griffiths, a surgeon, said he had
lexamined the younger prisoner at the station-house
ea the evening before, and, from the appearances that pre-
sented themselves, he felt satisfied that she had been de-
livered of an infant within the last three or four weeks, and
was alga as eztisiled that it was not a full•grown infant. He
sated her if sho had taken anything to procure abortion,
and she acknowledgol she bad taken three powders of a
brown colour.
1 Mrs. Eden Kerrey, a sagrried women, said she occupied
sa apartment at the hoses Pt the prisoner Cogiaa, and

knew the other prieoner, mho went by the mane of the
cook, from her eallink at the house. About three or four
weeks ago a young female called at tho house, and said the
cook was very ill, upon which Mrs. Coglan went out, and
was &trent all night. On returning home on the following
morning she took a parcel from underneath her shawl, and,
on opening it, presented th • body of a dead Infant. Wit-
ness was so alarmed at the sight, that she became quite ill,
and could not tell whether it was a male ors female infant,
but it was very smell. Witneu subsequently asked Coglan
what became of the body, and her reply was, that she
had thrown it over a hedge into a field as far as she could.
The prisoners, after a lengthened examination, were re-
minded till a future day.

MARKETS.
WOOLLEN CLOTH.

LEEDS, SIP!. 10.—We have had a better market to-day
than we had on Tuesday. There was a Rood attendance of
merchants in the Cloth-hall, and more animation. A good
business was done in most descriptions of Roods, but of
ordinary milled blue and white mixed Melton', and of
double milled Melton' its brown and white mixtures, there
was more than an usual quantity sold. They were rather
easier to buy, as the season for these goods is drawing to •
close, and the manufacturers are evidently desirous to clear
out their stocks, end fur this purpose accept reduced prices.
These mixtures have had en excellent run this season, and
the manufacturers have obtained good and remunerative
prices for them. The stock of cloth in the market is ex-
tremely light, as well as poor in assortment, and the mer-
chants are generally to a considerable extent supplying
their demands either by giving direct orders to manufac-
ture, or purchasing by sample without the goods having
been shown in the Cloth-hall ; hence the markets are only
an indifferent criterion of the trade that is done.
This is a state of things that only can exist when
trade is healthy and good. Such is the case at pre-
sent. But how long " may this continue "is a question
which some well-informed persons are beginning to ponder
over. The mills in the clothing districts continue in active
operation, as it is the manifest policy of every manufac-
turer, now while prices are high, to work up his materials
with all possible dispatch, there is consequently abundance
of employment for everyone that is able and willing to
work. There continues to be a fair seasonable trade doing
in the warehouses, principally to supply the home market,
and considering the state of the corn trade not only in our
country but all over the continent, the increased value of
money, and the uncertainty and danger which again over-
hang
the Eastern question, there may be some surprise ex-
pressed at the trade continuing so steady and good. The
prospects for the future are not, at present, so bright and
cheering MI they were. The Board of Trade returns for the
month, ending the sth August, have been issued this week,
and sgain exhibit • continuance of the remarkable totals
presented throughout the year. The export of woollen
manufactures amounts to 1,171,2621. against 1,029,6101.
in the corresponding month of last year, being an increase of
141,6421. It is also gratifying to observe that the supply of
wool continues to be good,

6th August were 11:n.12,282.082

But the total quantity of wool imparted in

There has also been a demure in the quantity exported
during the year, amounting to 1,719,9861ne., which added
to the shove, makes an increase of 14,795,81316 c during the
year available for home couumption, which, after making
an adequate allowance for the wool that has been im-
ported in the grease, will leave • very large increase on
previous importations.

COTTON. —Livanrooz., Bz, . 10.—The market has
again closed tamely, but prices have been steady at late
quotations. The sales comprise from 5,000 to 6,000 bales,
including 400 Peruams and Neranhams, chiefly at 71d. to
; 150 Bahia, 61d.; 250 Egyptian, 6d. to Bd.;
and 400 Burets, 6d. to Bd. per lb.
MANCILIIITZit, Barr. 10.—The market has again been
rather flat, and price* are easier, but without being quota-
bly lower. The business has been limited both for home
demand and export in yarn ; and though the better quali-
ties end higher counts of twist are firmer than the common
and low, the position of the market is less encouraging than
it has been for some weeds past. The demand for domes-
tics, long cloths, and T cloths, bee been quiet, and some
thousands of looms employed on the former have been
stopped this week, in consequence of the preposterous at-
tempts of the operatives to force up wages in a class of goods
like Lies', notoriously very unremunerative to the em-
;goyim for some time past. The demand for printing
cloths, though the position of these goods is relatively the
best perhaps of any in the market, has been less this week
thee for some time past, and in some owe buyers have felt
an advan•sge even in price. For shirtings and ntadapol-
lams the demand hashes& very limited.

IiARDWARB.—BII3IINOII•X, Burr. 10.—Trade here
still continues very brisk. AU the manufacturers have as
much as they can do, and in some branches the goods can-
not be produced as fast as required. All the colonial orders
are large, and the foreign trade generally is good.

CORN.—CAMBRIDOI, Sept. 10.—Onr market was from
31. to 4s. lower for Wheat to-day. Several samples of new
Barley were offering which realised high prices. Wheat,
new, 54.. to 565.; old, 48s. to 50s. Barley, 364. to 40a. Peas,
31e. to 40s. Oats, 20s. to 245.
C AAAAA Boar, Sept. 10. —We had but a mode-
rate supply of grain at market this week. Wheat was very
dull in price; we lower our prices from 4e. to fie. per qr.
Old Brown Wheat, 68e. to 63a. ; new, 525. to 60a.• old
white, 60s. to 685.; new, 67; Barley, new, 405.; Beans,
395. to 40e.

Csamor.s, Sept. 10.—With a liberal "apply of When
this morning, farmers had to submit to a decline of Is. and
in some oases ls. 6d. per bushel. The few samples of Barley
offering brought last week's rates. No alteration in the
price of Osts. The new Wheat brought to market was vi-
rally of fine quality, and, with few exception, in good con-
dition. Present quotations: Wheat, white, new, 21s. to
225. 64. ; old, 234. to 245.; red, new, 20s. to 21s ; old,
211.6 d. to 2L. ; Barley, old, 14s. ; Oats, potato, Be. 6d. to

Flour, per stone, 21. 4d. to 2s.'Bd. Oatmeal, 2s. Ryemeal,

COLCHISTM Sept. 10.—A far supply of Wheat ; all
other grain short; the former sold at le. decline. Barley,
Beans, and Peas, fully le. dearer. The yield of Wheat is
proved to be very deficient, aad short of what was expected
during harvest time.

OLJticaerzn, Sept. 10.—There win a moderate show of
English Wheat at this day's market ; the transactions were
the turn in favour of buyers, but it is difficult to quote a
positive decline. Solders of foreign showed no disposition
to prole sales, but had they done so it would have been ne-
cessary to take le. par qr. less money spot all but the finest
samples. Barley and Beam without alteration. Oats firm,
with a limited business passing in this article. We have
towards warm showers to-day. During the week a lass quantity
of Wheat and Barley has been carried In condition.
A fortnight mat elapse before the yield can be
ascertained in this neighbourhood. ports of the week :
Oats, 1,618.

GUILDFORD, Sept. 10.-We have plenty of old Wheat at
market, but hitherto have received little of the new crop.
The trade wu dull, but millers bad to pay the same rates as
were current last week. Wheat, new, 521. to 695. ; old,
425. to 68s. Barley, 28s. to 33e. Buns, 40s. to 445.
GIRTFORD, Sept. 10.-The supply fair ; the tilde ruled
dull at fully ls. Bd. per load less money. Barley made last
week's prices. Oats, Pear, and Beans fully maintain former
prices. Wheat, 30s. to 40s. per load. Barley, 255. to 32a.
per qr. ; ditto, new, 35e. to 41s. per qr. Oats, 18s. to 265.
per qr. Peas, 221. to 251. per load. Beau, 225. to 275.
Tares, new, 301. to 355. Rye, 19s. to 21e.
NIWCAITLI UPON-TYNN, Sept. 10.-With the exception
of Tuesday, which was a very fine day, the weather this
week has been dull, with heavy rain at intervals, so that
operations have been much interfered with. Fine
weather is much wanted for bringing the crops to maturity.
The trade during the present week (under the influence
of heavy foreign imports) has ruled quiet, but there has
been no desire manifested by importers to press sales at any
undue CODUOILOII, for however well the northern harvest
may he secured, there can be no question that all the Wheat
that hitherto has arrived, or may arrive between now and
the end of the year, will be required fir mixing, before a
renewal of the imports in the spring. The little business
done has been confined chiefly to parcels where a portion
of the cargo bad previously been sold, in which instances
rather lower rates were submitted to. Flour has sold
upon much the same terms. Grinding Barley has
met rather more attention, whilst stout foreign, suit-
able for malting, has been easily placed at very
full rates. With the exception of Beans, which
have been more sought alter, other articles have found
but a limited inquiry. At our market this morning we had
a much less supply of Wheat from the growers, and the
arrivals coutwis• being also moderate, fresh-thrashed sam-
ples sold pretty freely, extra qualities in some cases com-
manding a slight advance, whilst at the same time a fair
extent of business was done in South Country qualities at
very full rates, choice farmers' red making 60s. to 625., good
runs of Norfolk,6os. to 61s. and mixed (weighing 691bs. per
bushel) 625., Scotch red, 60i. to 615., all weighed 63Ibs. per
bushel. For a parcel of very superior new Norfolk red 655.
was procured, whilst a fair quantity of the general runs
weighing a ' lbs. but made 631 he., found buyers at 641.
weighed 631bs. The foreign receipts are generally taken to
Warehouse, ea that we have no pressure upon the market.
For Flour there was a steady inquiry at about our previous
quotations. New Rye is wanted. Grinding Barley the
turn higher, 335. being about the value of the best Danish
weighing 64 lbs. but made 66 lbs. per bushel. Malting
sorts are sought after, and the first arrivals are likely to
bring long prices. Fine old Malt in good demand, with
more passing in middling descriptions. Beans and Peas
without change. With Oata we were scantily supplied
by our growers, and anything choice made rather more
money, but in any other description we have little variation
to note. The arrivals this week are: Wheat, coastwise,
1,180 qrs. ; foreign, 6,802 ; Barley, foreign, 155 ; Oats,
coastwise, 1,676 ; Peas, foreign, 12; Flour, 640 sacks.
Nosericu, Sept. 10.-At our market there was a fair
supply of Wheat, mostly in damp condition, and from the
flattened tone of the leading markets, buyers were expect-
ing a reduction of 4s. per qr. from last week's rates, and at
the commencement such reduction was made, but before
the dose of the market higher prices were demanded, and
we call the value wetly as last week, with a fair amount

of business transacted. Fitie household Flour commanded
a good sale at fall prices. Barley : trade has comm. reed
with a few bareains, and where samples were really fine,
365. to 38s. per qr. aas obtained. Beane and Peas, both old
and new, were a very short supply. and demand 'acted.
ingly muall, in price no change. Oats were a good offer,
and if buyers would have operated to any extent, some
alight concession would have beeu made. Smail business
transacted.

Prrauaoaovoa, Sept. 10.—We have had most beauti-
ful weather this week and the greater part of the white
grain is secured in this neighbourhood. At today's market
there was a fair quantity of old Wheat, which made last
week's prices; the supply of new was large, and 2*. per
qr. lower •' 611 be. yellow Wheat making 541., and 63Ibs.
Sae up to St.. per qr. There was a great deal of Barley
which found buyers from 365. to 38.. per qr. Scarcely
any Oats or Beans showing.
READING, Sept. 10.—We had rather a short supply of
Wheat to-day. We observe the greater part of new was
mach out of condition, and, although lower prices were
accepted, we doubt if the market eaa be called cheaper.
Barley was much inquired for, but little offered. Oats
the turn cheaper. Peas few at late prices.
- - - -

WISMICH, Sept. 10.—The weather during the week has
been very fine fur b work. and much \Vl.eat secured.
The condition of the new Wheat is very indifferent, and
requites great care in the selection ; value ranging from
525. to 59..; extra, GOs. A fair supply of old Wheat offer-
ing, and ready sale at Is. to 2s. per qr. under last week's
prices. A few new Oats here, quality pretty good, value
as before. Prices to the growers: Wheat, red, 48s. to
598. per qr. ; white, 645. to 604. Oats, 10d. to Ild. per
atone. Beans, 38e. to 40s. per qr.

WORCPSTZEL, Sept. 10.—Our market was well supplied
with old Euglish Wheat, and all qualities were firmly held
for previous rates. Heavy Barley Is. per qr. dearer; light
qualities unaltered. Old Oats realised some advance ; new,
6d. per qr. cheaper. Beaus held for rather more money.
Very few Yeas offering.
Youk. Sept. 10.—We had a good show of Wheat at this
day's market, which was sold at last week's prices. Several
samples of new Barley offering of fair quality, and selling
at prices from 365. to 38s. Malt Zs. per qr. dearer. In other
articles no alteration. Wheat, white, 62a. to 64.. per qr.
imp. ; red, 575. to 595. ; Malt, 60s. to 625. ; Oats, 11(1. to Is.
per stone of 141b5. ; Flour, 465. to 48s. per sack of 2501b5.

KIRLCALDY,Sept 10 —On Saturday last the weather im-
proved, and continuing uninterruptedly fine until yester-
day, our farmers have been enabled to secure a consider.
ble breadth of Wheat in the earlier districts of the county;
it bulks in the stack-yard disappointingly small, but we
have not heard as yet of any being thrashed. We had
showers on Thursday, and it rained heavily yesterday morn-
ing ; the wind continues from the East, with a rather droop-
ing barometer. Potatoes go very fast ; they have become
very much worse this week. It is a very remarkable fact,
that the two days on which the disease made the greatest
progress last season—via., on the Gth and 7th September,
the colliers could not work is the coal pits around this
neighbourhood in consequence of foul air. This week the
air in the pits has been getting worse every day since Mon-
day. Yesterday the milieu entered them with much diffi-
culty; indeed, from one pit they were compelled to retire.
At our conetry markets, in the early part of the week,
our farmers would willingly have accepted le. to 26. per qr.
less for their Wheats; latterly, however, they seemed to
have recovered their confidence, as it could only with diffi-
culty be bought at last week's rates. Very little hew Ilsr-
ley offering, and any purchases made have reference to next
week's pricis. Here, to day, we had a small supply of old
Wheat, and one parcel of new. We had a slow market.
in consequence of farmers asking high rates; prices were
about Is. per qr. lower. We had only a few parcels cf
new Barley—weights ranging from 521 be. to 67Ibs. per
bushel, and prices from 291. to 31s. 6d. per qr. Few Oats
at market, and these old. Wheat, old, .565. to 625. per
qr.; ditto, new, 665. Barley, new, 29a. to 345. &l. Oats,
old, 228. to 2,51. Oatmeal, per bag of 2801b5., 31s. to 325.

COs=, Sept. 9.—For the past week we have been favoured
with the finest summer weather, and the apprehensions
which were entertained for the safety of tho harvest have
been in consequence allayed. No doubt the long continu-
sam of wet during the greater part of August was prodne•
five of some injury, but having regard to the accounts
which are daily given of every district in the country, we
must believe that the harvest has been on the whole
favourable—certainly much more favourable in pro-
portion than those of England and Scotland. The
made still continues active in all descriptions of grain. We
quote Wheat the same as last week. New IrishWheat,3os. to

change on the week, but the demand is good.
Flour, firsts fetch 20s. Oatmeal and Indian Meal on ready
sale, the former et 12/. 10s., the latter at 71. 15e. to

305.9 d. per barrel; Barter, 49, at 13a. 04. to 16s. od.;
Oats, 2,461, at 10s. 4d. to 12s. 94 ; average, 12s. And the
receipts to this day's market have been : Wheat, 25 barrels
at Me. 64 to 30s. per barrel ; Oats, 410, at 10.. 44.10125. 94.
average, 10s. 10d.

WATIIMORD, Sept. 10.—A continuance of very fine wea-
ther up to last night (in the course of which some heavy
rein has fallen) has enabled our farmers tit make consi-
derable progress in harvesting since Saturdny last; to-day
is again fine, and; with another week of sunshine the
bulk of the crops around here will be secured. The trade
this week has not been so animated as of late, owing to the
favourable change in the weather, and the altered tone of
the English advice. ; but as arrivals are light, holders
show no anxiety to press sales. Ice foreign Wheat a
fair business hu been transacted at the currency
of this day sennight. Of new Irish few parcels
have come to market, and were taken at our quotations.
For Indian Corn we have experienced a moderate inquiry,
at prices rather in favour of sellers. The supply of Oats
continues inadequate to the wants of purchasers, who have
had to pay a further advance of 2d. to 3d. per brl. Flour
in fair request at full prices. Imports : Wheat, 90 qrs. ;
Indian Corn, 4,580; Flour, 2,284 bus. Exports: Oats,

AMERICAN MARKETS.
BOSTON, Ave. 30.
The demand for money continues extremely active.
During the first of the past two weeks it seemed on the in-
crease, and rates were daily advancing. But a better
feeling appears now to prevail, and though there is but
little reduction in rates, yet accommodation is much more
easily procured.
Tin imports at New York for the last week show again
a large increase over the same week of last year. but the
average during August is nearly the same as in 1852 The
exports for tne week are more than double those of last
year. The fall trade has commenced with great activity,
and southern and western purchasers are clearing off the
masses of imports en the sea coast. Cotton is steady, and
in good demand. It is thought that the growing crop will
be quite as large as that of last season. Of provisions and
breadatuffs the supply is large, and the demand equally so.
The scarcity of vessels and the high freights have limited i
the demand for export, but that for home consumption is
large, and though the pacific intelligence from Europe has
had an unfavourable influence, the decline has been small.
Nearly four millions of dollars in specie have arrived
from California within the last fortnight, while the exports
' amount to little more than half a million. The receipts of
specie at the Assistant Treasury, in New York, for the week
ending 27th inst., were, 1,283,153 dole. ; payments, 718,663
dole. ; balance remaining in the Treasury, 8,821,848 dols.
The redemption of its stocks by the United States govern.
ment has also afforded relief to the market. and more confi-
dence is felt in the stable condition of the banks. The ex-
treme activity of business, however, will afford full employ-
ment for capital during the season. We quote, on call, 6
per cent.; do. with stock and ether collaterals, 8 to 10 ;
prime business paper, 60 to 90 days, 81 to 9} ; do. 4 months
and longer, 9 to 10.
Exchange on London ranges from 1081 to 100 k for GO day
bilk The high rates for money make sellers eager but
buyers less so. We look for an increased business at some
advance in price later in the season.
Stocks continue on the decline. The speculation in
mining stocks, which occurred is the spring, hastenedithe
depression which always takes place in the summer months.
This season inereued the effect, which was completed by
the opening of the fan upoa a stringent money market.
During the last few days, however, a decided improvement
has appeared, and the low prices at which even the
soundest stocks are selling, are gradually bringing capita-
lists into the market. . .
