tea against Miss Mowbray, and 0 to I spinet OKIf,
in the Lieerpoul Steeple Chase, bets which he had taken at
a sporting house in Kill? im-street. rrovecutor eon-
stilted, and gave the prisoner (who had produced two
tickets purporting to be from the house referred to) the
money; but shorty afterwards entatiiining some sus-
picion, he sent to the office, and found the tickets were
forgeries. ?thence was limed shortly afterwards, and
taken into custody.
Mr. Broderip thought it would be useless to send such a
easel as this for trial with any chance of conviction, and
therefore discharged the prisoner.
Michael Cailaglein, • man about fifty years of sge, having
toe appearance of a smith, was charged with a desperate
attempt upon the life of his wife.
Upon the prisoner being placed in the dock, Mr. Moran,
an inspector of the B division, stated that the unfortunate
woman was lying at that moment in the Westminster Hos-
pital in the most imminent danger. She was suffering
under s severe wound in her head, and several fractured
ribs; she was, at the time inquiries were made, just before
the sitting of the court, sensible, but the house surgeon
stated that unconsciousness might come on in the neat

half hour.
Ann ruby stated that between 10 and 11 o'clock on the
previous night she was standing ut her onn door, in New
Pye-street, Westminster, when she saw the prisoner's wife
come out of her house, followed by him. He had a large
fiat headed hammer in his hand. He ran after her, up and
down the street, during which time she cried " murder "
several times. He at last caught her within five or six yards
of witness's door, and struck her on the head with the
hammer • he struck h r again on the side, and she fell, and
soon became insensible. As soon as witness saw her on the
ground she went to her, pieced her arm under her head,
and endeavoured to recover her with water. She spoke
two or three words, but then relit ea into insensibility.
When witness took her arm away it was covered with blood.
The police came, and a truck having been procured the
wounded woman was placed in it and conveyed to the

hospital.
J. Johnson, a labouring man, confirmed this account.
The prisoner was perfectly sober, but he thought the woman
had been drinking.
In answer to the charge the prisoner said that his wife
went out and stopped away two or three nights together,
and had been drunk for years. She was constantly kicking
and tearing about, and calling him all manner of names
Mr. Broderip said he would immediately have gone to
the hospital and taken the unfortunate woman's depositions'
I had he not been informed that the medical gentleman would
not allow her to be disturbed ; the act of doing so might be
attended with fatal consequences. The charges were of the
most serious nature, and should she die from the effects of
the injuries it would affect the prisoner's life. lie was re-
manded for a week.

COTTON.—LivinrooL, Jam. 15.—The sales of cotton
to-day art estimated at 7,000 bales, 2,000 of which are on
speculation. The sales comprise about 6,000 American;
600 Pernam and Maranbam, at 61d. to 7:d.; 200 Egyptian,
at 61d. to 10d. ; 1,240 Surat, at 3id. to eid. The
market closes with some animation, and prices of Brasil
are darer; Egyptians are extreme; Maui° are advanced
id. td id. per lb. from the low sales at 6d. per lb. All
other kinds unchanged.

MANCHISTER, Jan. 14.—We have but little change to
notice since Tuesday, but, if anything, the market for yarn
and cloth is quieter, with a tendency to weakness in prtees.
The yarns lately in demand for India were losing the ad-
vantage gained in price • but the telegraph of the Over-
land Mail from Trimte Ls pat rather more life in the
eastern trade again to-day, and given greater stability to
prices of all kinds in demand. The home trade are doing
very little business, having been much discouraged by the
weather and the untoward aspect of several quarters of
the commercial horizon ; still the engagements recently
made are keeping down stocks, and prices can only be said
to be slightly in favour of the buyer. Printers are busy,
and in cloths of 21b. 12-is. to 71b. 4os. there is a good de-
mand at full prices. The cloths called domes in, though
the production of them has been much lessened for many
weeks past, are in so little demand that stocks were accumu-
lating, and prices are very unremunerative.

WOOLLEN CLOTHS.—Lseos, JAN. I.s.—The drench-
ing state of the weather considered, we have had a goad
market in the halls to-day, and primps are improving. A
good spring trade is antpated, if it should sot be checked
be wools rising to an unexpected height. In the ware-
houses a satisfactory business is doing, sod the mills are
well employed.

IRONM ASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.
DIIDLIT, JAN. IS.—The final meeting of the ironmasters
for the current quarter took place here to-night. It is not
often that any alteration of prices takes place at this Meet-
ing, the trade generally abiding by the feeling manifested at
the more important meeting held in Birmingham ; so far the
meeting to-night did not vary from its usual character;
Nome fair orders were offered, and it is quite certain that
they were more freely taken than they would bay. been a
fortnight since. There are persons who still hold on to the
belief that prices will again go up on an early day. We
feel confident, however, that there is no foundation for any
such opinion ; the feverish buoyancy which characterised the
trade a fortnight since has undoubtedly been checked, and
Wt too most seaseaably, as all who have any regard for
iM future prosperity will admit ; the movements of specs.
Weis have been checked, and although the present prime
my rule for a time, we are pretty confident they have
hanehod their highest point, and we shall not be serprised
before many months have elapsed, there is a turn in
rather direction ; certainly the present high prices ere be-
nefiting few peewee who are legitimately connected with
lie trade, and they are calculated to do a very great deal of
mdsubiet. The manufacturers present at the meeting this
evening reported the general trade of the district to be
healthy, and the quarterly accounts have been paid with re-
markable '

puoctuility.

HARDWARE.-11zzattiossa, lAN. 16.—Trade here
remains in the attire and healthy state last reported, with.
out an important change of any kind ; some foreign orders
have come in daring the week, and in all the principal
branches the seannfactaren are extremely busy. The °as-
signments reasatly made and about being made to Aus-
tralia are enormous, especially of gold watches, chains,
brioches, and other articles of finery—to suck an extent
has this been carried on that it is not improbable before the
year is oat that this comparatively new market will be
glutted, for a time at least, so large are our means of pro-
duce, sad so gene is the competition that is going on. The
home trade is steady, sad is throughout the country *chi-
bitiag great improvement.

CORN.—Bousm, Jan. lb.—With a moderate allow of
Wheat at market to-day, ins dry samples sully found
buyers at Wedneaday's rata; red,. 48s. to 48s. Bd. ; white,
525. to 645. No ohmage to notice m other articles.
CAIIIIIIIDOI, Jan. 16.—With the ezooption of Barley,
which was ls. dearer to-day, the price of all corn is unaltered
from lut week; condition very indifferent.
CAVITIZBOZT, Jan. 16.—Ws had a good supply, end
prices about the same. Wheat, brown, old, 618.8 d. to 62e. ;
new, 425. to 495.; new, white, 40e. to 63e. 6d. Barley, 29e.
to 38s. Oats, 19s. to 23e. Od. Beau, old, 38e. Peas,
new, 335.

C• 111.1111.11, Jan. 16.—There was about an &Map supply
of graia at oar market to day, which wu sold at prices
mach the some as last market. Rather a better demand,
particularly for Barley.
Coz.cainTss, Jan. 15.—A short supply of Wheat
prices ea last week. A good show of Barley ; for selected
malting and grinding qualities there was no difference to
aote ; sound description of malting obtained le. advance.
But few Beans and Peas on isle; value unaltered.

OLOUCUTIZ, Jan. 16.—There was an active demand for
Wheat at our market this day, and well-conditioned sam-
ples of English, which were scarce, found ready buyers et
rather more money. In foreign we do not note en advance ;
hat larger sales were reported than for several weeks pant.
The inquiry for malting Barley increases, and 6d. per qr.
more money is obtained, with the maraet bare of 'asepses.
In grinding there is no change. Beans scarce, and their
value maintained. Oats not quoted lower, but the sale
very slow.
I GuILDIORD, Jan. 16.—We receive large supplies of
Wheat, for which there is • proportionate demand, and
though the rendition is necessarily bad, prices are =Jai-
-1 taine d with much firmness. Wheat, 38s. to 64a.; old, 484
to 61s. Barley, 26e. to 335. Peas. 345. to 40s. Beans,
345. to 38a.
11111TFORD, Jan. 16.—We had a small supply of Wheat ;
• great portion being very damp, caused the trade for that
description to be dull and folly ls. per load lower
fine parcels made rather more money. Barley made full
prices. Oats ruled dull. Peas and Beau quite as goal
trade. Wheat, 235. to 33e. per load. Barley, 245. to 365.
per qr. Oats, tact° 245. Peas, 18s. to 21s. per load.
Beans, 18.. to 26.. Tares, 18s. to 224. Rye, 18s. to 21s.
MANCIIIIITIR, JAN. 16.—Throu4hout the week the
trade has cautioned to rule very inactive, but in tke
value of any article no change was apparent. The imports
into Liverpool and Runcorn cocain of fair supplies of oats
and oatmeal from Ireland, and of liberal quantities of wheat
and Kerr from abroad I the snivels of other produce from
all emcee being unimportant. At our market this morning
a very lifeless feeling prevailed, and, although we casual
alter the quotations of this day se'nnight, buyers had the
turn of prioes slightly in their favour oa moat articles.
NIRCANTLII UPON-TU(I, Jan. 16.—The trade dur
the present week, although devoid of activity, has remaiall
firm for Wheat of all descriptions, and with the great in-
roads that have been made upon our granaried stooks, the
feeling of confidence in en important rally conning ere
long gains strength daily, en that holders show indifference
about selling at the present juncture, the demand being
confined to the local consumption. speculative sales for the
moon above assigned being totally disoouraged. Flour
being in excess of presort requirements, some portion has
been brought to warehouse, but in the sales effected recent '
rates have been *retained. Rye in steady request. Barley
has sold on rather better terms, whilst the inquiry for Malt
has been limited. Ia other articles little variation has
occurred. Our letters from Dantaie announce that pur-
Ghee** of Wheat had beea made there for spring delivery_
at 62e. par qr., f.o.b. At our market this morning we had
about our usual show of Wheat from the growers, and
although we have again to report a liberal supply from the
count, fresh thrashed samples sold very freely, extra new
red making from 625. to 645., and select white up to 565.

and Peas firmly maintained their value. With Oats we
I were well sueplied by rue growers, and • clearance was
readily effected at the fu:l rates of this day st'nnight, fine
Scotch, at the same time, meeting more attention at the
turn in favour of the seller. The arrivals this week are :
Wheat. coastwise, 3.967 qrs.; foreign. 930; Rye, coast-
wise, 230; liarley, coastwise, 639; Malt, coastwise, 40;
Oats, coastwise, 310; foreign, 319; l'eas, coastwise, 89; fo-
reign, 254; Beans, fornigo, 162. Flour, coastwise, 1,802
sacks; foreign, 220.
Nottwlett, JAn.ls.—At our market this day there was
a small supply of Wheat, chiefly in poor condition; sellers
were firm in their demand and prices quite equal, and in
some caves Is. per qr. beyond those of last market day.
Merchants offered sparingly, and would not moderate their
terms. A small amount of business transacted. For fine
household fimr, f. o. b., there was a good demand at late
prices, but millers were unwilling sellers, except at 6d, per
sack advance, which could not be established. The supply
of Barley was small, and extreme rates were easily obtained ;
grinding sorts were a brisk sale at full prices. Beaus and
Peas were in small supply and demand nochange ; in value.
Oats, supply small, same price. Wheat, white, 495. to
535. per qr.; red, 425. to 475. Barley., malting, 325. to

PETSUB011.01:0H, Jan. 15.—We had a fair supply of
grain to-day. Wheat Is. per qr. dearer, red, 561bs.' mak-
ing Vs. to 405.; and 601b5., 445. to 455. per qr. Barley
made Is. per qr. more moray ; good malting qualities selling
from 32.. to 34.. per qr. Both Oats and Beans the turn
dearer.

RIADINO. Jan. 15.—A fair supply of Wheat on much
the same terms as last week. A short supply of best Bar-
ley; this, together with secondary samples, made trte ex-
treme prices as of late. Beaus, Peas, and good Oats were
very scarce, and would have commanded good prices; in-
ferior ddficult to make a clearance.

Wisnacu, Jan. I.6.—We are well supplied with grain of
all kinds to-day. Dry Wheat is a free sale at last week's
prices, whilst the raw inferior sample., requiring the kiln,
RTC difficult to quit at former rates. For Oats; Beans, and
Peas the demand is fair at fully the prices of this day week.
Wonw . urrna Jan. 16.—At this day's market there was a
fair supply of Wheat, and new realised quite as much
money ; eld was rather dearer than this day se'nnight.
Barley unaltered. More doing in Oats, and old ones were
Is. per qr. higher. Not much doing in Beans and Feu,
but dry ones were held for some advance. _

Y 011.1:, Jan. 15.—We have a good supply of Wheat at
our market to-day, the demand fur which was steady, and
last week's prices fully maintained. Barley in good re-
quest, and flue samples Is. to 2s. per qr. dearer. In other
articles no alteration.

WAILTIRTOND, Jan. 16.—Without any improvement in
the weather since this day as'noight, our deliveries of far-
mers' grain have again been in very unsatisfactory condi-
tion. The ;supply in the early part of the week was on
a most limited scale, but at this morning's market we had a
fair show of Wheat, for which the rates current on Saturday
last were readily obtained, and in some instances an ad-
vance of 3d. per barrel was realised on the beet tam-
plea. Barley met rather more inquiry, at full prices. I
The quan.ity of Oats on offer was smaller, hut by boat'
there has been a liberal supply during the week; we note
all descriptions fully as dear as on Saturday last. Our arri-
vals from abroad continue very moderate, and in cease-
quince holders both of foreign Wheat and India. Corn
'mealiest great firmness; fur the former there has been an
increased demand, at rather enhanced rates, and the latter
has been in improved request, at about our last quotations.
Flour without change in price. Imports this week: Wheat,
482 qrs. ; Indian Corn, 1,200. Exports: Wheat, 32 brio.;
Bailey, 246; Oats, 10,023; Flour, 2,084 sacks; Oatmeal,
46.5 cwts.

KIRKCALDY, Jan. 16 —At our country markets this
week we bad rather less grain offering than is usual at this
season of the year. We had a good demand for Wheat,
and ls. per qr. advance readily paid on all good•ooaditioned
parcels. Barley was eagerly sought atter, and was • full
shilling per qr. dearer. Oats slow sale, but not cheaper
than last week. Here to-day we had • good supply of
Wheat, which sold slowly at last week's rates. Barley was
in short supply, and was la. per qr. dearer. Of Oats we
had hardly so many offering as of late. Sales quick at last
day's prices.
