THE POLICE CO URTS.

ROW-STREET.

!impeder Hardy, Oititedcii;Tion of police (Clerken-
well), Thomas E ,rl, 96 E, Minks, 74 E, henry Gates,
9 E, ned Isaac Knight, 147 E (or Bloomsbury division),
attended before Mr. Jardine, by direction of the Commis-
sioner of Police, to "newel the charge of having exceeded
their duty by forcibly and improperly apprehending James
Thompson, a tradesman, for an alleged felony.
These charges arose out of the conduct of the defendants
in a " picture caul," which was heard at this court about a
fortnight ago.
Mr. Jardine deferred his decision for a few days to con-
sider the evidence carefully.
LAMBETH.

Mr. R. A. Fisher, a barrister, attended before the sitting
magistrate to complain of a false impression which might be
left on the public mind, if an assertion made on the pre-
vious day in that court were left unexplained. The house
24, Essex•street, Strand, had been mentioned as that in
which the soi-disant Dr. Smith saw and operated on Eliza
Morden. The house war let out as chambers, but in con-
sequence of the witness describing it as a " lawyer's," his
(Mr. Fisher's) client, Mr. Hoare, a respectable solicitor,
apprehended discredit. He therefore disclainad all know-
ledge of any of the parties and all connexion with the room
said to have been used on this occasion. He had also the
Name disclaimer to make on behalf of a member of the bar,
who had chambers in the same house.
Mr. Norton remarked he was well aware that in houses
let out after the manner in the inns of court, parties might
reside for years in the same building without knowing even
their next door neighbour. He had no doubt the press
would do justice to the ease.

BRISTOL, MAY 6.
Scow.—The TIM market continues firm, with a fair
amount of business doing. chiefly for arrival, at fully
former rates. Refiners' produce has been more freely
dealt in this week, but we cannot quote any improvement
in prices.
Fur flux there is some demand • but, the stock being
all in second hands, we are without sales to report.

COTTON.—Liveiteoor., MAT 6.—The advice' from the
United States lately received as to the state of the cotton
markets in that country, together with the decreasing
amount of excess of receipts as compared with last year,
has given our market a strong and firm appearance. At
no period of the week has the demand been very animated ;
it has, however, been uniformly steady, and equal to main-
taining the full quotations of Fridsy last, with a slight ten-
dency upwards. In some instances there is a perceptible
advance of 1-16 d. per lb., more especially in the middling
and better qualities of American, while the inferior sorts,
which are very abundant in stock, are less favourably
affected. Brazils, Egyptians, Surats, and most other kinds
ere without change. The quotations remain as before.
The Committee of Brokers place fair Uplands at 61d.,
Mobile at 6}d., and Orleans at 63d. 4,690 American, 40
Surat, 90 Madras, 50 Egyptian, 50 Bahir, and 30 West
India are reported to have been taken on speculation;
2,520 American, 1.050 Surat, 170 Madras, 70 Egyptian,
150 Bahia, and 160 West India for export. Sales for the
week, 54,670 bales.

WOOL (Estuxtsu AND FOREION).—LEZDS, MAY 6.
The fresh arrivals of English wool at market are smell ;
sales samo :is last week, and prices firm, though unaltered.
Colonial wools have been in demand this week, especially
the finer qualities, which have not latterly been much in-
' quircd after. Prices are firm, at recent quotations.
HOSIERY.—LEICESTER, May 6.—Yarns and Wools
still have an upward tendency—there bus been an advance
of a halfpenny per lb. this week on Yarns. 'The foreign
orders ate checked to some extent by the high prices, but
the warehouses are at present busy in the ere, ution of
orders given some time since, fur which there were Yarns
and stocks in hand.

CORN.—CuxLmsronn, May 6.—There was a fair supply
of Wheat at market today; the milli re appeared the chief
buyers pf the Rood Wheats, which could not be procured
much below the rates of last week, while inrerior rereded
is. to 2s. per qr. . • the market closed firmly. Whits. 47a. Ps
625. • red, 425. t 0461.; extra, 475. Barley, none offering.
Bemis and Feu fatly maintain their price.

Li:moue, !day 6.-We had a short supply of grain at
our market to-oey. Fresh thrashed Wheat met a fair de-
mend at .ate rates. Damp and inferior wen quite neglected.
A good inquiry fur Barley at full prices. Not much doing
in Outs and Beans. Wheel, red, 435. to 485. : white, 49a.
to his. Barley, 30s. to 354. Oats, 19s. to 2:36.
Livsnroon, May 6.-The arrivals of English, Irish, and
foreign produce into this port since Monday last are ex-
tremely light, and the exports small. At our market this
moraing, however, a few country millers appeared, and
directing some attention to fresh descrip:ioas of foreign
Wheats, a moderate share of business was transacted
therein, partly at a slight abatement from our last cur-
rency ; our local dealers at the same time remaining very
inactive, and speculative buyers perfectly quiescent. The
demand for Flour, being principally restricted to consumers
upon a limited scale, no important sales were feasible this
morning, and American breath., as well es the general runs
of French and Spanish, though not urgently pressed upon
the market, were the turn cheaper. In Barley, Malt, and
Peas, no change were observable. The general qualities of
Beans were steady at late prises, and Egyptians, being in
few hand., and not plentiful, improved Gd. per qr. Oats,
upon a moderate demand, fully maintained previous rates,
aid Oatmeal, with some inquiry for re-shipment to Ireland,
closed at a small amendment in value. The transactions in
Indian Corn have been exceedingly trivial, without change
in value, and the only sales in cargoes have been a few in
French at previews rates. Arrivals from the 3rd to the
sth May inclusive, into Liverpool : Wheat, 1,965 ; Barley,
256; Malt, 696; Oats, 1,147 ; Beans, 607 ; Peas, 117 ;
Oatmeal, 127 sacks; Flour, 100 sacks and 4,632 barrels.
Exports to Ireland: Wheat, 6,9 qrs ; Beans, 31; Indian
Corn, 782; Flour, '287 sacks, 1,112 barrels.
WAKEFIELD, May 6.-Our arrivals of grain continue
moderate ; the dull accounts of the southern markets have
snme effect here, but as the quantity of fresh-thrashed
Wheat is small, there is a fair sale for such, at about last
week's rates; the chambered sorts are difficult to quit, and
fully is per qr. decline is submitted to. Heavy Barley
quite as dear. Oats and Shelling as before. Beans steady.
No variation in other articles.
