POLICE COURT
(BEFORE MR. MANBFISLD.)
ASSAULT ON THE HIGH SEAS.—Thomas Tsbester, captain
of tee ship Kedgeree, belonging to Mr. John Martin, of
Belfast, and Lewis Buchanan, mate of the same vessel, were
summoned by a seaman named George Morris, for having
assaulted him on the high seas. Mr. Campbell was for the

complainant, and Mr Almond for the defeice. It appeared
that, on the voyage home from Calcutta in September last,
the captain found the " look-out elan" asleep, and he
stirred him with his foot, when the man and the complainant
attacked the captain and mate, and drew their knives. The
complainant was put in'irons, but he tried several times to
excite the crew to mutiny, by calling on, them to release
him, and take the ship from the officers. His arms were in
eonsegnence tied up, and he was gagged. The captain and
mate were examined, and they stated that the conduct of
the complainant_. was very bad, and most mutinous. Mr.
Mansfield said the captain and mate were justified in putting
the man in irons for mutiny, but they were not justified in
keeping his hands tied in a certain position for a long time,
nor were. they justified in gagging the man. He fined the
defendants each in the penalty of £2, .and costs.
COMMITTAL OF A PUBLICAN FOR AN A 83AULT.— Samuel
Brand, a publican, residing in Frederick-street, was brought
up on remand charged with having committed a violent
assault on Edward M.Gannell. The details of this case
appeared in our paper of yesterday. In addition to the
evidence already given, Mr. Charles Bayston, surgeon at
the Southern Hospital, stated that he had examined the
mounds of the complainant and found an incised one on
the cheek, two on the forehead and lip, which were con-
tused. The man was much injured, and he did not consider
him quite out of danger. The prisoner was fully com-
mitted for trial, but was, however, admitted to bail, himself
in £5O, and two sureties in £25 each

Mr. Bremner an

ted the fact that tii

barman told him one of the females was in a fit, and he
was putting her out. There was no disorder whatever in
the house. Police-constable 530 :was produced to sustain
the complaint of the Inspector, and he swore to one of the
men being drunk, and pointed him out in Court. The
defence in reference to the drunken woman was that she
entered the house in a state of drunkenness, and the
defendant produced witnesses, who p, oved that drink was
refused to be served to her. The barman stated that the
men alleged by the police to be drunk, were not so. One
of the' men alluded to was examined, and swore he was
not drunk, neither was the other man. Two other persons
corroborated this evidence, and the complaint was dis-
missed.

Thomas Wilson, Dickenson-street, was charged with
Sunday trading, by serving whiskey, in a bottle, to a girl
on Sunday morning, at ten o'clock. The defence was that
the whiskey was for a sick person. There was no proof of
this fact, and a fine of 2s. ad. was imposed.
STABBING BY A Box.—A lad named John Thomas, about
fourteen years of age, was charged with stabbing another
boy, named Michael Kelly, in Bispham-street, on Sunday
last. Some dispute arose between the boys, when the pri-
soner stabbed Kelly in the back part of the thigh. The
prisoner was committed for trial at the sessions.
VIOLENT ABSAULT.—Henry Levingston, the mate of the
ship St. Laurence, who was remanded on a charge of hav-
ing violently assaulted a black man named William Porter,
was, brought up for final examination. Mr. Chilton
appeared for the prisoner, and Mr. Bluck for the defendant.
The details of the case were reported in our paper of this
day week.. Mr. Wall, surgeon, from the northern hcspital,

was examined, and stated that the complainant was now out
of danger from the effects of the wounds inflic*.ed on him.
Mr. Mansfield said he was resolved to put down the cow.
atdly use of those dangerous weapons called " knuckles,"
and he should therefore send the prisoner for trial. In
answer to Mr. Chilton, his worship said he would accept of
bail, two sureties of £5O each, and the prisoner himself in
LlOO.

SUSPICIOUS CAsn.—Bernard Carney and James M‘Ready,
alias James Hayes, were brought up by detectives Natio
and Thompson, on a charge of having in their possession a
quantity of copper, load, composition, and other things, for

went to a cellar, kept by Carney in Tichfield-street, and
found there a•considerable quantity "of copper, and nails,
and other property of that description, for the possession of
which he could zot account. Mr. Bluck appeared for
Carney, and in reply to him the officer. said the cellar was

state of health, and asked the bench to take bail for him,
but his worship ordered him to be remanded without bail, to
give the officers an opportunity of making some inquiry, as
Mr. Ciough said the street where the prisoner resided was
in very bad repute, and he (Mr. Clough) intended to
report against the licens Hayes was committed for two
months.

BEEamonsE C sEs.—Philip O'Donnell, of Circus-street,

TRADE REPORT.--FRIDAY

LIVERPOOL

SUGAR : The demand still continues limited ; the busi-
ness is confined to 150 hhds Demerara, at 35s to 40s, a
small parcel of Ceara at 20s. and 1100 bags very low
Pern'ams, at 18s 9d per cwt in bond for export.
Rum! 80 puncheons Demerara 111 we realised 2a 53 per
proof gallon. • .‘
COFFEE : Of the Coffee offered by auction this morning,
only 520 bags Bahia were sold, one-half being damaged, at
48s to 52s for sound washed.'
COCOA : 50 bags red Bahia are reported, at 38s per cwt.

. TEA : The market continues rather heavy ; the small
public sale htld to-day went off at former prices : common
Congou rules about 9d per lb.
Rios: The market is without improvement, and only
1,000 bags broken Bengal sold at 105 3d per cwt.
SALTPETER : 400 bags have been taken at 33s to 34s
per cwt for 5 to 3 per cent refraction.

sisting of 1,000 bales, all damaged, sold at fair prices.
RAPESEED : 900 bags with all faults, at 46s per qr, for
first class damaged.
Pnoyisros : In the beef market there is increased
anxiety shown by holders of middling and ordinary
descriptions to press sales ex ship, and prices in conse-
quence, have again receded for such qualities, whilst a really
fine article finds buyers at full rates. A parcel of new
Western Pork landed this week has been sold. As supplies
increase lower prices seem inevitable. Bacon being now in
larger supply has declined 2s to 3s per cwt, and there is
every indication of a still further reduction. Lard, under
the pressure of the late arrivals, has given way 4s to 6s per
cwt, At this decline some holders make a stand. For
Cheese there is a steady demand, and p
likely to be maintained. In t'

sent rates seem

little doing, and quotations are merely nominal
Cake, though offered at further redu
unsaleable. A strenuous effort has 1

aces, is nearly
!e in the Corn

market to arrest the downward progress, but though needy
buyers have been forced in some instances to pay full prices
for wheat, the market is unmistakeably weak, and the busi-
ness doing is by no means of a satisfactory character: To-
day's market showed no improvement, and prices were again
the turn lower

market is still in a very unsettled state, and it is difficult to
give quotations; business has been done at 37s to 35s per
cwt, but to make sales to any extent a further reduction
would have to be submitted to, and no improvement can be
looked for here until the. London and Hull markets show
signs of reaction. Rape is quoted at 52s to 53s per cwt for

quantity. Fish Oils are without change. Pale Seal is

reported at 63s down to 60s per qr for good fair quality.
Nothing doing in Rape, which offers at 583 to 603 per qr for

LONDON

CORN : The English Wheat left over from Monday was
all cleared off at fully that day's rates. Good foreign
wheat was fully as dear as on that day. Flour sold on
much the same teems as before. Barley in moderate
request and unchanged in value. Oats were 6d per quarter
dearer, with a fair sale at the advance. Beans and Peas
unchanged.
SUGAR : Our market has been miserably dull during the
week, and although a further decline of is has been sub-
mitted to, the home dealers will only purchase what their
immediate wants require, and the exporters buy only at
very low prices. The refined market has also been dull.
Brown lumps, 475.

COFFEE The sales have gone off without spirit this day,
but the only description quoted lower is native Ceylon,
which sold at .51s, being a decline of Gi to is.!
TEA : Common Congou is quoted dull of sale at 9d to
911; other descriptions have sold to a limited extent at
previous rates.

INDIGO (3rd day) : 1,080 chests passed auction, of which
759 sold.] The biddings were again very animated, and good
and fine shipping qualities sold freely at an advance of 9d
to is on the October sales prices
SALTPETRE has declined is

NIT-RATE OF SODA sold at 18s 6d.
CoTToN : A very large amount of business has been again
done this week, at id advance.
SPICES are unaltered.

RICE: A limited business done, at previous rates.
TALLOW : The market is firm, and quotations continue to
advance. Petersburg YC on the spot is quoted 01s 0d ;
February and March, 61s 3d; March and April, 563.
CATTLE : There were rather more beasts than on Friday
last and the trade is still very heavy. The weather being
more favourable we were enabled to dispose of the choicest
qualities at Monday's quotations, but there are not buyers
for other kinds. The number of sheep is smaller than has
been known for a long period;; and almost all of them were
left over from Monday last; in consequence the few good
ones on offer realise an advance on Monday's quotations.
Calves are lower. From Germany and Holland there are
25 beasts and 60 calves. Norfolk and Suffolk 600 beasts ;
and 120 milch cows from the home counties.
BoRouGH HOP.—Messrs. Pattenden and Smith report
that the demand for tho finer sorts continue active at firm
prices; bat low descriptions are not sought after.
TESTERDAYS MARKETS.
DUBLIN CORN ; The market in supply and demand was
about the same as Tuesday. The business done was on a
small scale—prime samples of wheat were in request, at a
shad; of improvement in value. Oats and barley weak of
sale, without alteration in rates. Little or nothing doing
in Indian corn.
BELFAST CORN: Supply of wheat small, and fully is
dearer. Oats moderate; oatmeal 6d better; foreign wheat
unaltered ; Indian corn dull, and rather better ; no change
in Aonr.

IMPERIAL PABLIAINIENT,

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTERS.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDA

Their lordships met at five o'clock.
The Earl of EGLINTON called the attention of the House
to the state of the clock tower of the new Houses of Parlia-
ment, complaining that the dial plates of the new clock
would be of little, if any, public utility.
Earl GRANVILLE said that in a very short time both the
clock and bells would be in a finis:ied state, and he had no
d oubt would give satisfaction.
The subject then dropped.
