MARLBOROUGH STREET.

Thomas Palmer and Henry Carter, employed at Um
Alhambra Meaic-hall, were charged with a violent
assault on Mr. Hughes, builder, of Carlton-road, Kentish-
town. . .

Mr. Hughes said that on the 29th of August he went to
the Alhambra Music.hall, accompanied by his wife and
another lady. When there they got into coavenation
with three gentlemen, who agreed to join their party at
supper. He was to pay for the wine and the other gentle.
men for the viands. After supper the gentlemen went away
and left without paying, whereupon the waiter demanded
the money from him. At first be refused to pay for what
be had not ordered, but the waiters threatened to " punch
him" if he did not pay, and at last he was obliged to satisfy
the demand. As soon as be had paid, the two defendants
attacked him, struck himrepeatedly, knocked him down,
and at length took him by the collar, and forced him out of
the room. He was not drunk, and bad only partaken of part
of a bottle of ale and part of a bottle of wine. He was not
abusive, but the defendants used the most abusive language
to him. This statement was confirmed by the lady who
accompanied the complainant and his wife.
Mr. Andrews, a surgeon, stated that the complainant
was under his care. There were many contusions on his
body, and a wound on his hand. Ma system was much
shaken, and be was still under medical treatment. He
first saw him after his return from the Alhambra, and be
was much excited, but not from drink.
For the defence several witnesses were called, who
stated that the oumplainant was abusive in his l
and very noisy, and that the waiters did their adutyl
turning him out, and used no more violence than was
necessary.
Mr. Knox thought it likely that the complainant was
in liquor, and had knocked himself about so as to canes
the injuries be had sustained. He would not send the
case for trial, and should dismiss the charge.
The expenses were applied for but refused.

A few days ago a gentleman waited upon the magistrate
for the Purpose of soliciting his assistance on behalf of an
old Perunsular officer, named Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas
Beckham, in • very destitute condition. He was in his
seventy-sixth year, infirm, and bed-ridden, without the
means of obtaining the comforts or even the necessaries of
life. He had been in active service in different parts of
the world for a period of forty-seven years, and had then
sold out of the army in consequence of becoming security
for a brother-in-law. He had also sustained heavy losses
through the tannic of • bank.
Mr. Mansfield directed strict inquiries to be made into
the matter, and he was now informed that the statements
were all perfectly correct. He, therefore, directed that
101. should be awarded to the veteran.

MARKETS.

HARDWARE.—Biantricaui, SEPT. 7.—Tbe reports
in reference to the state of trade in this town have been
rather more favourable of bite, but order, come in very
slowly, and for the most part theyare for small quantities et
goods ; manufacturer, are, however, u a rule rather more
actively engages!, and notwithstanding the long continued
depression, stocks in their heads have not accumulated to
any extent. In the metal trades generally rather more
animation is experienced, and the electroplates and edge
tool wilier* are better supplied with orders. Manufac-
turers who are is any way dependent on orders from the
railway companies, whether in this town or the district,
report that very little Is being done. In the foreign
department quietude still prevails.

COTTON. LIVIMPOOL, Barr. 7.—Steady market, at

COTTON GOODS. Mageggeres, Sen. 7. The
market for cotton yarn and cloth has been quiet and
continued to droop in price throughout the week. Yes-
terday
and to-day manufacturers have shown more anxiety
to sell, and have evinced greater willingness to secure
orders at the low prices current than we have hitherto
seen. Daring these two days the depression has been of
a more marked and general character than previously, and
this feeling is increased owing to a considerable pressure
to sell. The result of this is that pricer have become so
irregular as to render it difficult to quote them isocurwely.
They depend to a great extent upon the position of the
seller as to stock, and the greater or less compulsion
he may be under to realise. On the other hand,
such a state of things tempts buyers to withhold offers
in the hope that they may do better by waiting. Want of
confidence in the prices current, lower as they have con-
tinued to sink for the last 15 to 20 days, is very general, and
is becoming almost universal. Yarns are hardly feeling
the depression just now to the extent of cloth, though in
most kinds the decline since Tuesday has been something
like Id. per lb. There is very little business offering
either in water twist for China or the continent. India
mule yarn is in little request, and lower in price. In the
finer qualities of cotton spinners have freely given way to
make sales, and Lome trade yarns are generally Id. per lb.
lower. Towards the close of yesterday manufacturers ac-
cepted, in some instances, nearly ld. per lb. lower prices
than they would have done a week ago.

WOOLLEN.—LcEns, SEPT. 7.—We are not able to re-
port favourably respecting the markets this morning. The
attendance at the Cloth-halls has been small, and the
buyers who were present did not show much inclination to
purchase to a greater extent than necessity required, and
the parcels transferred have been limited both in number
and amount. In the Coloured Cloth-hall a few good par-
cels of tweeds in the ordinary shades, along with a few
coloured warps, have changed hands. Plain cloths herein
a few instances been moderately well traruderred. Other
departments have not been worthy of any special notice.
The inquiries for hairliste have been more numerous than
of late, the demand for the finer makes being considerably
on the increase. Beavers and witneys have not been in
very extensive demand, and hare met with purchasers only
in limited amounts. Prices are without change.

WOOL AND WORSTED.—DBADFORD, Serr. 7.—
The past week has been characterised by quietness in the
worsted trade. The operations in wool, though, perhaps,
somewhat more frequent than of late, have, in the aggre-
gate, been comparatively limited. Consumers act with
great caution, their transactions being confined to the pur-
chase of such small lots as will keep their machinery
running. Prices are, on the whole, steady, and in some
exceptional cases the seller may have a trifling advantage.
The same inanimate feeling has been apparent in worsted
yarns. The purchase of small lots for the purpose of as-
sorting stocks has been the principal business of export
merchants. Low offers have been occasionally made with
• view to test prices. There has been rather more inquiry,
with a very limited business in some sorts of wet yarns,
such as super 30's. The torpor which so long existed in the
home department still continues. There is no material
alteration in prices. The piece trade is still inactive, and
though there is a more hopeful feeling as to the future, yet
all appear to be waiting for some fancied turn of events
either in connection with • good harvest or something else,
which is to change the whole aspect of things, and todisei-
pate the languor which has too long prevailed. The
American houses, recently doing a little, are doing nothing
now, and the operations for home and the continent are
quite of a retail character. Though prices are nominally
the same, manufacturers are disposed to meet customers
whenever there is • disposition to do business.

CORN.—CAMBIUDGE, SEPT. 7.—Wheat was 30. to 4e.
dearer ; other corn u before. Wheat. 60s. to 661. Bar-
ley, 40s. to 425. Oats, new, Me. to Ws. ; old, 28s. to 32a.
Beans, 40s. to 445. Peas, 445. to 48s.

Canuai.x, &Pr. 7.—There was a small 'apply of all kinds
of grain. The wheat market was excited, and the wheat sold
quickly at an advance of 18d. per Carlisle bushel. Old
oats 3d. dearer ; new oats 6d. lower. No change in barley.
Prices :—Wheat, white, 245. to 275. 6d.; ditto, red, 225.

2s. sd. to 21. Bd. ; oatmeal, 2s. 6d. to 2s. 8d ; ryemeal and
barleymeal, la. Gd. per stone. The harvest hes made some
progress this week ; but the heavy rains which have occa-
sionally fallen have retarded operations considerably.

Cotatziffrit, HEFT. 7.—The supply of wheat at
to-day's market was very small, and tellers succeeded in
realiaing an advance of Is. to Sc. per qr.
GUILDFORI), San. 7.—There was a large 'apply of wheat
to-day ; the demand being brisk sellers were enabled to
realise la. per qr. more money for all good conditioned
parcels, but inferior sorts were difficult to sell. Wheat,
old, 64. to 80*. • new, 545. to 745. Barley, 401. to 44e.
Oats, 24a. to 30s: Peso. 40s. to 434. Beans, 455. to 525.
HERTFORD, SEPT. 7.—The market continues very
small and supplies of new corn come in slowly. Wheat is
dearer again to-day, say Is. per load, and some makes still
higher. The reports of the new barley crop are not good ;
scarcely any samples are yet offering of any new grain
except wheat. Wheat, new red, 365. to 404.; old, 425. ;
white, runs, 40s. to 435. • old, 465. per load. Barley,
265. to 46e. ; oats, coarse, 20e. to 26e. per qr. • fine, to 345.
Baum, Zia. to 314. ; peas, 24*. to 2ri4. per

LEICEMTER, SIFT. 7.—The progress al the harvest has
not been rapid during the week, but in this neighbour-
hood a considerable proportion of the crops have been
secured under favourable circumstances. The wheat
crops are not so good as was at one time expected, but
on the best soils the yield will be fair. The barley crops
are variably spoken of ; some good samples will, however,
be @morel The yield of oats wilt be tolerably good.
There is a plentiful supply of grass. Turnips are making
fair progress. At to-day's corn market we had • mode-
rate supply of wheat (mostly new). There was an im-
proved demand at 2s. to 34. per qr. over late rates.
New white, 63a. to 675. • new red, 61s. to 6.55. • old
white, 65. to 6.9 a. ; old ;Id, 625. to 675. per 36 ;tone.
The supply of barley was not over large, and • tolerable
demand was experienced at little or no alteration from
late prices. There was a middling supply of oats, which
met • fair demand, and the rates of last week may be
quoted—sew, 275. to 325. ; old, 345. to 37a. per 24 stone.
Of beans the show was limited, and the inquiry ruled
steady at previous rates-48a. to 61s. per 36 stone. Fine
flour, 50s. to 52a. ; seconds, 465. to 48e. per 20 stone.
Nawcsarria.ox-Trag, Barr. 7.—The weather during
the week has been showery, with intervals of fine weather.
Harvest work progresses slowly, but is expected to be
general on Monday. Last Tuesday we had an improved
inquiry for old wheat, and in some instances an advance of
Is. per qr. was obtained. The arrivals of new wheat have
been principally sold for delivery per steamer. Flour is
held more firmly. tirindiag barley inclining lower. Oats
firm and in request. We had • very short supply of wheat
from the country this morning, which sold readily at an
advance of la. to 2s. per qr. • fine old foreign is held at
2.5. advance, but only ls. procurable.: New south country
in very scarce, and 2s. dearer. Flour in better demand,
and 6d . per sack dearer. Grinding barley slow sale, sod
inclining lower. Oats firm. The arrivals this week are :
Wheat, coastwise, 1,893; foreign, 3,451. Barley, foreign,
214. Oats, coastwise, 800; foreign, 1,000. Flour, coast-
wise, 497 sacks. Indian corn dour, tl sacks.

NORWICH, SEPT. 7.-There VMS only • thin atten-
dance at this market to-day, and the supply of wheat
was limited ; prices must be quoted for good and dry qua-
lities, 2s. to 3a. per quarter dearer than last Saturday.
The barley trade has not yet opened. Since Tuesday the
weather has been very unsettled, and occasional heavy
showers of rain have fallen ' • the wheat crop is principally
secured, but it is reported that about one-third of the
barley crop I. still in the fields. To-day is fine with •
brisk dryiug wind. White wheat, tills. to 72a. ; red ditto,
We to Ws. per qr. Flour, 475. to 48s. per sack. Averages:
Wheat, 2,704 qrs., 59a. 3d.; barley, 13 qrs., 408.
NOTTINGHAM, SIM 7.-A great deal of corn has been
secured around here, and stacks are rising in the fields.
In some plaoes the corn *rope are abundant ; in others
very irregular. The pastures are in • very satisfactory
state, and swedes promise a good crop. Peas are • failing
crop. The potato disease is becoming very prevalent in
many districts. In some please there is a scarcity of
labour. There was • small supply of new wheat at our
corn market today, and very little old. The demand was
fair, and the former advanced 2s. to Is. ; the latter made
le. to 2a. per qr. more money. New white sorts made
66e. to 735. • new red, 60a. to 118 e. • old white, 68s. to
73e.; old red;,
63e. to 70s. per 36' stone. There were
simples of new barley showing, prices for which ranged
from 40s. to 45e. per qr. Grinding was in small supply
and met a fair demand at fully former rates-via., 38e. to
40e. per 30 *tom The show of oats was limited, and the
demand ruled moderate at prices similar to those of last
week-old, 34a. to 38e. ; new, 26a, to 31s. per 24 rime.
Beans were • middling show, and realised former pried-
-46e. to 525. per 38 stone. Peas not much altered. Super
Slone, 52.. to 34e.; fine, 475. to 495. per sack.

Or.robn, SEPT. 7.—A very abort attend/mos; bald.
nese exceedingly dull ; previous quotations barely
maintainable. The bakers have sank the price of bread
Id. per sib. loaf.

Pernetionotuii, SEPT. 7.—The heavy rain during the
week prevents our farmers threshing, and we have but •
small supply of wheat, and prices rule 24. per qr. higher.
Fine red, 66e.: fine white, 725. par qr. of :St; stone. New
oats make ls. ld. to Is. 2d. per atone.
READING, SEPT. 7.—The supply of wheat in the
market this morning was limited and the price, conse-
quently were • little higher than list week. Barley and
oats were firm, but little business was done. Beans and
peas met with • fair inquiry, at former quotations, the
attendance of dealer was pretty good.
Rociagrign, SEPT. 7.—Consequent on the large supplies
of foreign wheat which are finding their way to this
country the corn trade in this city has again ruled list,
while prices continue to have a downward tendency. Of
the samples of grain exhibited at this market most of the
parcels of wheat were of this yeses growth, and the de.
mend for these was dull. With a retail inquiry on the
part of millers and others prices for all but the best old
lots must be noted as being Is. tots. per qr. cheaper. The
present terms for best white wheat are 67e. to 70s. ;
secondary, 65e. to 675. ' • and inferior, 63e. to &ss. per qr.
Best red wheat, 63e. to 66e. ; secondary, 61s. to 63e. ; and
inferior lots, 59.. to 61e. per qr. A very moderate amount
of business was done in foreign wheats, and prices of that
kind of grain were barely so high as before. Flour was a
dull trade, and with but a retail demand the quotations
are gd. to Is. per sack of 280Ibe. in favour of buyers.
There was a steady inquiry for barley, and superior parcels
for malting purposes brought about late quotations. In
malt there was very little doing. Oats firm for old sorts,
but new kinds the turn cheaper. Beans and peas both
steady, with but little doing. The hops, under the in-
fluence of the recent fine weather, continue to improve.
Picking, which has already commenced, will become
general next week.
WISSZCH, &gr. 7.—The eupplyof all grain Jeremy short
today, the farmers being so busy in the harvest field. The
best dry wheat is 2e. to 3s. dearer than on this day week,
and spring corn about the same, except for oats, and they
are rather cheaper.
WORCESTER, Barr 7.—At this day's market there was
a short supply of wheat, which sold at an advance of nearly
2a. per qr. Barley firmly held for quite as much money.
New oats cheaper ; old quite as dear. Beans la. cheaper.
Peas unaltered.

YORK, Suer. 7.—The weather during the pun week ha.
been of a chequered character, and on Tuesday there was
a good deal of rain. The moisture has been of great value
to the pastures, and mangolde are looking better. Turnips
are also favourably reported of, but the disease has made
considerable havoc amongst the potatoes. A large quan-
tity of grain has been housed in this county, and with a
continuation of favourable weather the harvest will be
rigorously proceeded with. The wheat crops vary accord-
ing to the nature and condition of the soil. Barley in
some districts is turning out well, but in others iodate.
rently. There was a limited supply of wheat to-daT for
which an advance of Is. to 2s. per qr. was made. it bite,
625. to 67z; red, 575. to 645. per 36 stone. The show of new
barley was tolerable, and there was a moderate trade
doing ; old sorts for grinding were quite as well sold, and
realised 39e. per 32 stone. Old oats brought late rates,
and made 28e. to Ms. ; new were disposed of at 265. to
28s. per 24 stone. Beans nominally unaltered, and
rates ranged from 46e. to 48e. ; peas, 465. ; malt, GBe. ; rye,
42a. per qr. Flour made, 48s. to 50e. per sack of 2801 be.
WATERPORD, SEPT. 7.—From abroad we an report
liberal supplies of wheat, but of maize only one cargo has
reached an. HOMO grain is coming to hand very sparingly.
Our market has not undergone any change of consequence
since this day sennight. There is a moderate demand for
all articles at about former ratan. Home produce slightly
declined in value. Foreign wheat was pretty well inquired
for, hut business has been checked by the advance now
asked by holders, consequent on yesterday's improved ac-
counts. Indian corn, after a slight decline during the
week, closes firm at the full prices of Saturday last. Flour
6d. to Is. dearer. The weather continued wet early in the
week, but towards the end turned favourable for harvest
work. Imports this week : Maize, 2,426 qrs.; wheat.
6,916 ; flour, 8 sacks. Exports this week : Wheat 240
bele. ; oats, 1,161 ;flour, ll4 sacks ; oatmeal, 15 sacks.
