A constable stated tiai;oomplaint was preferred by Wm.
Gordon, a bell-hanger sad blacksmith, of 10, Great Win-
ebester-strut, spinet his son Clomps Gordon, but that nei-
ther party was able to appear as they were both In the
hospital. The facts of the ease were as follow :—The eon,
who worked with his father, being incensed at the conduct
of the errand boy, chastised him ea the spot, when the
father interfered and endeavoured to turn his son out of
the shop. The son resisted, and the father then kicked him,
when the son drew out a small pocket bowie knife and
stabbed his father in various parts of the body, the father
in the mean time kicking and cuffing his son about*,
head and body Very severely. The father wee conveyed el
Guy's Hospital, when he still raisins in a very precarious
Nate, and the son was takita to St. Bartholomew's Use.

The ease was remanded.

taken into onstody.
A feeds owe was now preferred spinet the prisoner for

to the amen* of 1201. from Mr. Edward Poliatt, a retired
bailiff, residing at Hoddeedes. in Hertihmishire. In this

tive appointmeat in the Customs, through the medium of
aristocratic connexions. From the time of their entering
into possession of the apartments, numerous letters and
panels addressed "C. A. Batton, F. 541.," arrived daily
at the house, and the different tradesmen about the
neighborhood were favoured by the blind gentle-
man wilt orders for goods of every descrip-
tion, the whole of which were promptly executed.
It bevies eho some to the knowledge of their benevolent
lodger, Min her husband, the prosecutor, was engaged in
some ermalve building speculations, he at once volun-
teered *famish him with ample funds to carry out his

arrimage ler 2801. and upwards, on the strength of which
Ids opedeleas landlord was induced to furnish him with
ssiming shoisoe upon his banker for various sums,
maandig sit gather to 1101. After residing with them
bre nearly • ftetatibt, and living in the most costly and
leilomtuous style during that period, the attention of the
tor's wife was called by her elder lodger to the qua.
ty of some wine which had been sent in that morning
from Hertford, and which he described as being so truly
execrable that he intended himself to drive over to change
it, and directed her to pock it up and deposit it in his
(Seise for that purpose. His orders were promptly &minded
to, and the hone and gig having been brought to the door,
the prisoner and his father got into it, and after intinfiting
that they would return to dinner at four o'clock, drove off
ia the direction of Hertford, but never again made their
*protease, and nothing more was heard of either of them

The phone was next charged with obtaining various
sums of money by falsely representing himself as an ageot
to the Gresham Life Assurance Company, in the Old
Jewry.
Two dear eases having been established against him, the
prisoner, who treated the matter with perfect nonchalance,
and exprened his intention to reserve his defence, was fully
committed for trial.
SOUTHWARK.

WiINOM Trittott,---ir;;slTreiaits Codgers' Friendly
Society, 17, held at his public-bouse,the Dog and Still, Earl-
street, London-road, was summoned to show cause why
he refused to pay John Farringdon, a sick mambas of the
society, 9s. per mak.
It appeared from the statement of complainant that he
became a inesabsr of t►e society eight ran ego, sad mar-

lied a Tear afterwards. He became sick after that, and
had frequently been on the sick funds sine*. Oa the 12th
of November he went into Saint Bartholomew's Hospital,
when he sent a t!eeluatiou on the funds to the stewards,
and remained in the hospital until the 30th of the same
month. When he came oat he received his sick mosey
until Christtnu last, and since then they had not only re-
fused to tontine the pay, but has scratched him from the
society. Tbeeemplainant now sought to be paid the amass
and to he reinstated.
In his

by Mr. Bina, the complainant
leknowledged that he had bild falsehoods to one of the
stewards who visited him after he quitted the hospital. He
said he was visited by a Dr. Diamond, of Burton-crescent,
whereas no such person attended bins. By that false as-
sertion, he obtained the aick-pay for three weeks, up to
Christmas.
Mr. Combe asked what Mr. Mims called a codger?
Mr. Binne—Why, a codger, your worship, is a man who
saves his money.
Mr. Combs said that the complainant had certainly de-
ceived the Codgers by his falsehood, and not giving &proper
certificate fur three weeks. He should, therefore, dismiss
the summons.

It Wu stated that Farringdea had received more than
601. in aickneu, and had not paid in 41.

----- --.
Wm. Hisceek, aged 19, servant to Mr. Dymmock, • pork
butcher residing in Wyndham-road, Camberwell, was
charged with stealing a cash. box con-airing 141. in gold and
silver, the property of his muter.
From the evidence it appeared that on Thursday evening
last the prosecutor wont out for a few hours, leaving the
prisoner chopping some sausage-meat, and on his return
home he mimed his cash-box from his bedroom, which con-
tained 81. 10r. in gold, and U. 10s. in silver, Ms. of which
was in florins, and from information which subsequently
reached him he gave the prisoner into custody. On
the night of the robbery the prisoner purchased
a silver watch and guardchsin for 41., spent •
large sum of money at • public-house and pie-shop
in :be Westminster-road, got drunk, and fortunately placed
the sum of 41. is the hands of • young man at the pieshop to
take care of for him, and this was not parted with when
prisoner was given into custody. The prisoner, in the
I most impudent manner, said the money he had was his
own, and the savings from his wages. His muter, hew-
' ever, declared that on the week before the prisoner bad said
XS si that all the money he. possessed was • xpence.
In answer to • question from the ate, the prose-
cutor said that prisoner some time since been two years
in his service, hut this time he had only Ws a fortnight in
his employment. The prosecutor hue bettors* much at
and said the prisoner had left bin Taipei a shilling
to go to market with on that onsaimi, end he did not
know what was to become of hie Imam% and bimetal and
family.
Mr. Norton humanely advanced him 51. out of the poor-
box, to be paid back when the trial was over, and remanded
the prisoner to • future day.

COTTON—Livziroor., Pun. 5. —The market chase
firmly, but without excitement, and prices of all kinds are
ieht at yesterday's quotations. The market has worn a
lather qoiet appearance. The amount of business has not
run felt, the speculation being confined to two or three
quarters. The sales comprise about 8,500 American (5,000
on speculation), 160 remain and Maraoham, 61 ; 100
Bahia, 61 to 6*; 500 Egyptiaa, of to 8; 800Surat,3j to 41.
MANCHISTEL Pre. 6.—Our market is active, but not
so buoyant as at the commence'''. of of the week. A good
many orders were placed on Tuesday at advanced rates,
owing to what appeared to be a growing upward move-
ment in cotton. Buyers, however, as the week ad-
vanced, having observed that this rise is owing almost en-
tirely to speculative movements Ow this and the other side
of the Atlantic, whilst in reality there is no reason to sup
se that the crop of cotton will not be mere than ample
for all the wants of the year, are now acting mere
cautiously, and the corresponding rise of prices here
41G Tuesday has almost disappeared. A pod deal
of firmness, however, is manifested by spinners, whose
position, owing to pre-engagements, is good. The demand
for warps and cop yarns by manufacturers is large, and
water twist and 40's. 60 s, and 60's mule for India and
Chins is in request. In cloths, the demand is steady for
almost all kinds of fabrics, where last week's prices are
accepted. There Is some improvement even in the business
for dosoroties—espseiall_y for the colonies. Printing cloths,
loag cloths, shirtings, T cloths, muslin, cambric*, velvets,
and velveteens, of almost all makes and qualities, are in
request, with bat light stocks to select from, and manufac-
turers hold a rather large amount of pie-engagements. In
the print trade, the weather has been against consumption,
and the trade are preparing for the spring before their
winter steaks have gone off. They complain more than
other branches of trade respecting prices, having had a
difficulty in establishing an advance of 71 per cent., whilst
the cloth has gone up 16 per cent. since this time last year,
Turkey madder 30 per cent., cochineal 25, indigo 16, saf-
flower 16, Persian berries 10, galls 14, =natio, 25, terra
japonica 66, oils 65, sago deur 80, and farina 33 per cent.

WOOLLENS.—Lszve, Fn. 6.—There has been consi-
derable improvement in the woollen cloth market to-day •
there was a good attendance of merchants, and • general
activity prevailed in the sloth halls, sad on the whole •
good business has been done. Stocks are exceedingly low.
Prices are very firm, and, with the high latices which now
rule for all the law materials used in the manufacturing
of woollen cloths, we believe the manufacturer bays consi-
derable difficulty in producing goods at present prices, and
it is quite impossible to replace present stocks at the same
rates. Business in the home trade has been slack during
the present week, but the shipping houses continue brisk
sad active. The trade of the woollen district continues in
• geed sad eatiedimitery state. There has been • full average
badman ass &urine January both in the cloth halls and
in the warehosme. The mill in the clothing villages are
in good work, and the operatives well employed.

TlARDWARE.—Biamtnonaw, Fan. 6.—The genera:
trade of this town remains in a very satisfactory state, not-
withstanding the drawback experienced by reason of the
high price of all metals, which has produced that derange-
ment of prices already adverted to in the Daily Nees.
Notwithstanding this, however, in every important breach
the orders are large, both for the home and foreign mar-
kets; *specially for lamp. and chandeliers, and buns and
teem bedstead The cabinet and general brassfoundry
Mb is, too, much better than at the corresponding period
enlist , orders not having to any extent declined,
the manufacturers' prices have all been advanced
eswallerably. The extraordinary rise in the pries of tin,
reer, Ned other metals, has undoubtedly produced a sort
ei&aslits kind; beyond this, we hear of no complaints,
frent manufacturers or merchants, but instead, it
sums to be pretty generally admitted that trade is in a
Itneteughly healthy and prosperous condidon.

CORN.—Boerott, Feb. 6.—We have had a moderate
show of Wheat daring the week, and prises have given
way about 2.1. per quarter. At to-day's market little busi-
ness was done ; pride about the same as Wednesday. No
chugs to report in the value of Oats or Beans. Wheat,
red, 425. to 465. 6d. ; white,

. .
•
C*IIIIIIDO3 Feb. s.—We had a very doll market to-
day, and stained Barley was le. cheaper. Wheat, red,
new. 41e. to 42e.; old, 48e. to 48e. Barley, 221. to 52e.
Beam, 30s. to 34e. Peas, 30s. to s2a. Oats, 14s. to 241.

CANTRAMT, Feb. 6.—We had a good supply, but a
very dull sale, and prices about the sum. Wheat, brown,
old, 60s. to 635. ; new, 36e. to 46e. • old white, as. ; new,
48s. to 625. Barley, 30s. to 361 Oats, 20s. to 23i.
Beane, 38s. Pees, 3U. 6d. to 36..
CARLISLI, Feb. 6.—There was about an average supply
of grain at oar market to-day. The demand good, and
prices in some instances • little higher than last week.
COLCHINTIII, Feb. 6.—A fair supply of Wheat and Bar-
ley, but small of Beans and Peas. Wheat, except dry se-
lected parcels, Is. cheaper. The same may be said of Barley,
Beans, and Peas, as last week.
OLOtiCISTINI, Feb. 6.—There was a very limited attend-
awe and small show of English Wheat at our market this
day, and lost week's prices were fully supported. Foreign
samples attracted but little notice, and. had salsa been forced
farmer rates would hardly have been maintained. Malting
Bailey without change. In grinding bat little business
done. Beane firm. Oats move ofr very slowly, without any

improvement la price.
OIIILDFORO, 'eb. s.—The supply of Wheat continues
large. To-day there was a disposition to purchase, and
which resulted in a pretty good clearance, prices in some
instances being a shade higher than could be obtained la.t
week. Wheat, Ns. to 525.; old, 50s. to 61s. Barley, 25e.
to Us. Beans, 355. to 40a. Peas. Us. to 40s.

HERTFORD, Feb. 6.—The supply of Wheat at our market
was small ; trade for the best samples firm, at last week's
prices; coarse sorts dull. Barley in short supply; last
week's priers fully supported. But little doing in other
sorts of corn, at the rates of last week. Wheat, 235. to 365.
per load. Barley, 245. to 365. per qr. Oats, 14s. to 245.
Peas, 19s. to 225. per load. Beans, 19s. to 265. Tares, 191.
to 225. Rye, 18s. to 21s.
MANCHESTER, FIB. 6. Throughout the week the
trade has continued in the same linden state. as previ-
ously noted, all articles having been freely offered at a fur-
ther reduction in price without inducing purchasers to
operate. Of barley and malt coutwiee the receipts at Liver-
pool and Runcorn are to a fair extent, whilst from Ireland
further liberal supplies of oats and oatmeal have come to
hand. From abroad, the imports of wheat and flour are
likewise extensive, and moderate of barley, beans, and In-
dian corn. At our market this morning a most inactive
feeling prevailed, and wheat was offered at a further de-
cline of 2d. per 701b5., flour ls. per sack, and oat-
meal 6d. per load ; oats, beans, and other articles meet-
ing a slow sale at barely late rates.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Feb. 6.—The trade during the
past we, k, under the influence of heavy imports of Wheat
and Flour, has been characterised by great languor and
Battens's), end to promote business it has been necessary
to submit to a reduction of Is. per qr. and per sack respec-
tively, but at that concession there has been no disposition
to force sales, from an impression that prices have fallen
beneath what was warranted by circumstances; hence
factors have determined upon landing rather than give way
further for the pre,ent. Barley of all descriptions has met
less inquiry, and buyers have had the turn in their favour,
whilst boiling sod blue Peas have sold more freely
at an improvement of le. per qr. In Beans little
variation has occurred, and the same remarks will apply to
Oats, but with respect to the latter article, more disposition
.to purchase has been apparent within the lut few days. At
our market this morning we bad • pretty fair supply of
Wheat from the growers, but south Country qualities being
held with more &mem freolpthreahed samples sold more

readily, all, excepting the very finest deteriptions (lor which
full rates were given) being le. per qr. cheaper than on this
day se'onight. Fcr superioe heavy farmer's rod, weighing
63Ibs. per bushel, 495. to 509. per qr. was procured, other
sorts selling at 445. to 48.., according to quality. In foreign
or coasting samples little was done, owning to the tenacity
of sellers. Flour was held with more oonfidence, and the
orice of best households having gredually settled down to
36e., we anticipate a better demand for favourite brands at
that figure next week ; indeed, with the present aspect of
markets, rather than allow prime marks to be sold for les.
money, we fancy it would be more judicious to land. Rye
is more wanted. Malting as well as grinding Barley must
be written le. per qr. lower, with a slow inquiry. Malt un-
varied. Beans in mod request, and the turn cheaper,
whereas Peas generally were held for enhanced rates.
Maples are wanted for seed, a•d would readily command
our extremes quotations. With Oats we were more liberally
supplied by our growers, and having good arrivals coast-
wise, there was less tone in the trade generally, but prices
can scarcely be called lower. The arrivals this week are :
Wheat, coastwise, 3,483 qrs. ; foreign, 1,470. Rye, coast-
wise, 25; Barle, coastwise, 2,123; foreign, 340. Malt,
coastwise, 65. Oats, coastwise, 1,014; foreign, 40. Peas,
coastwise, 207. Flour, 3,933 sacks.

Nonwicu, Feb. b.—At our market this day there was
but a small supply of Wheat from the farmers, who were
unwilling It Hen at say reduction, but millers were firm in
their demands, and altho.igh the business transacted was
very small, yet a redaction of Is. to Is. 6d. per qr. must be
noted. The condition is not one whit better than hereto-
fore, a good many samples not over 561bs. per bushel. Flour
was in small demand, at 6d. to le. per sack less money, and
335. per sack of 2801bs. may now be called a fair price,
f.o.b. Barley trade was slow ; there is evidently a pause
in this article. The supply and demand small ; not much
changed hands. Beans and Peas were a better offer, and
at somewhat reduced rates, soy is. per qr. less money. Oats
were a large supply, but holders did not press sales to re-
duce the price ; the demand small, and little business
transacted.

PSTIRBOUOUGH, Feb. 6.—We had a fair supply of
Wheat here to-day ; fine samples made last week's prices,
other sorts ls. per qr. lower. A good show of spring corn.'
Barley and Buns unaltered in ♦alue. Oats, 6d. per qr.
lower. _ _ _ _

Raking°, Feb. s.—We had a good supply of Wheat to-
day ; the beet dry samples moved off slowly, and with difil-
ealty maintained late quotations. All secondary qualities
gave way from Is. to 2s. per qr. One sample of new Wheat,
however, reached as high as 55e per qr., while a sample of
" mummy " Wheat sold, for seed, at 20s. A short supply of
Barley ; all kinds of which maintained previous rates. Oats, ,I
Beans, and Peas without alteration.
Wiesice, Feb. b.—With a very short supply of Wheat
to-day, the prices of last week were barely realised, but
there appears a firmer feeling. Oats, Beaus, and Pea
fetch late rates, with rather more doing in the former
article. The weather is anything but favourable for the
sowing of Wheat, and it is generally thought by the best
informed that there is.fully one-third of the Wheat lands
bet unsown, and most of the clay mils would have been
tter had the seed not been put in the ground.

I _ -
Wozcsaraz, Feb. 6.—Our market was shortly supplied
with Wheat, and in consequecee no reduction was sub-
mitted to on soy description. Barley, ls. per qr. lower.
Beans inquired for, and ls. per qr. dearer. Few transac-
tions reported in Peas.

Yonx, Feb. s.—We have a fair show of Wheat and Bar-
ley at this day's market, which has met a slow sale at a
decline of Is. to 2s. per qr. Oats as before. Flour hi:abets
lowered 2s. per sack.
Dwia,tte, Fan 4.—We have again to report an extremely
dull market at our Corn Exchange. Wheat of all qualities
must be noted at le. to 21. cheaper since this day sernsight.
Malting barley and feeding oats scarcely supported the cur-
rencies of Tuesday, and distilling qualities of both were 3d.
to 6d. cheaper, and difficult of sale. Rather more business
as h been dons in Indian corn, at a reduction of 6d. per qr.
White wheat, 26e. to 30s. ; red ditto, 255. to 28s. ;
barley 12a. 6J. to 16s. 6d. ; oats, 10s. to Ils. ; rapeseed, 21e.
to 23.. per brL ; oatmeal, 11s. to 12s. Od. ; bakets' Your,
14e.62. to 18s. per cwt.; Indian Corn, 31s. to 34a. 6d.
per 480th..
WATERFORD, Feb. s.—Our deliveries of home-grown
grain have been trifling for the week, and the arrivals of
foreign only moderate. The depressing accounts from the
English markets have had a corresponding influence on the
trade hers, and prices of nearly all articles have given way
more or less since Saturday last. At this morning's market
Irish Wheat sold slowly at Is. to le. 6d. per barrel below
the currency of this day se'nnight. Barley was the turn
lower, and Oats could only be disposed of by submitting to
a reduction of 3d. per barrel. Foreign Wheat has been in
limited mows., and the sales effected were at an abatement
of 3d. to 6d. per bat rel. The demand for Indian Corn has
been of a retail character, with the turn of prices in favour
of buyers. Flour unaltered in value. Imports this week:
Wheat, 3,387 qrs. ; Indian Corn, 980 ; Flour, 205 sacks.
Exports this week: Wheat, 331 barrels; Barley, 132;
Oats, 7,788; Flour, 978 sacks; Oatmeal, 600 cwts.

KIRCALDT. Feb. 6.—At our country markets, this
week, very little has been done in any kind of grain—
many farmer, preferring to cam their samples home again
rather than submit to the reduction proposed by buyers of
2e. per qr. on Wheat, Is. per qr. on Barley, and 6d. per
qr. on Oats. Bete, to-day, we had moderate supplies of
Wheat and Oats, but small of Barley. AU kinds declined
Is. per qr., and at this reduction the sale was ready.

LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAT..--ST.
ALBAN'S BIANCIL—A very crowded meeting of the land-
owners, occupiers, and inhabitants of St. Alban's, was held
in the Town-hall on Saturday, to take into consideration
the propriety, of supporting the proposed branch railway
from Watford to St. Alban's, promoted by the London and
North Western Company. The chair was occupied by Mr.
P. J. Page, the mayor, who was supported by the Right
Hon. the Earl of Verulam. Mr. Alderman Lipecombe had
great pleasure in rising to move the first resolution, and in
doing so he felt that be need not trouble them at any
length, as the advantages of railway communication were
now generally admitted, and it would be absurd not to
attempt, when opportunity offered, to obtain these ad.
vantages for every district not at present perserming them
He now begged to move " That this meeting is of opinion
that it will be of great benefit and advantage to St. Albans
and the neighbourhood to be placed in direct communica-
tion by railway with the London and North Western Rail-
way at Watford." Mr. Bennett seconded the motion. He
felt sure that the benefits railway communication conferred
upon any town were too well known to render it necessary
for him to say anything in support of the resolution. The
resolution having been unanimonsly carried, the Earl of
Verulam said that though he had not intended, when he
entered the room, to take any part in the proceedings, he
felt great pleasure in responding to the request made to
him to move the second resolution. Re felt that the line must
prove advantageous to the district, and he should therefore
move "lhat the proposed branch railway from the Watford
station to St. Albans, for which a bill will be forthwith intro
duced into the House of Commons by the London and
North-Western Railway Company, appears to this meeting
calculated to accomplish this desirable object ; and that this
meeting will do all in its power to promote its success, pro.
sided the promoters will undertake to complete the railway
within three years from the passing of the Act of Parlia-
ment." Mr. Langley felt that he should not be doing his
duty to the neighbaurhood if ho did not use his best exer-
tions to promote the carrying out of so desirable a project,
and he bad therefore great pleasure in seconding the zero-
lution. The resolution was then put and carried unani-
mously. It was then resolved that copies of the resolutions
be transmitted to the London and North-Western Railway
Company, and the meeting separated.
