ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—DURHA JULY 10.
(Before the Lord Chief Baron h lly.)

_ .
Jonathan Worthriass, 29, labourer, was iudieted for felo-
niously wounding Percy Gitwou, the manager of the
Skerne Works, with intent to murder, at Darlington, on
the 7th July, 1868. Mr. Fonder prosecuted. The primmer
wu undefended.
The facts of the case are as follow. The priaoncr,who is a
native of Alston, Cumberland, had for some time been
employed at the Skerne Works. On going to his empley-
went on Tuesday morning last he was informed that Zero
was nothing for him and his mato to do, owing to the ill-
ness of their "gaffer." The manager of the works, how-
ever (Mr. Gibson), gave the latter something to do, iv-
marking, in an under tone, that he did so because loe
rarely mimed a day's work. Mr. Olson (the prosecutor)
was overheard, however, by the prisoner, who erro-
neously fancied that the remark applied to him. He
appears to have brooded over it, for ho left the
works, got drunk, borrowed a table knife of a
neighbour, alleging that he wanted it for the
purpose of cutting mime food, and returned to the
works again. He was observed by several workmen at
the works to be in an advanced state of intoxication, and
on being questioned by Wm. Coultaal, a fellow-workman,
what he was doing there in that state, ho remarked that
he bad come down to kill Gibson. Prisoner inquired of a
young man named Pickering whether he had seen Gibson;
on receiving an answer in the negative, he replied. " The
Lord have mercy on him ; when I see him, have
none." lie was very excited and foamed at the mouth,
which Pickering wanted to remove, but was repulsed by
the prisoner. Shortly. after this the prosecutor was
observed by Coultas going in the direction of that part
of the works where prisoner was standing. Coultas*
shouted to him, intending to warn him of Lis danger, but
failed to attract his attention. On Mr. Gibson getting
near to prisoner, the latter jumped up, and moved towards
him, with the knife uplifted, giving at the same time a
loud yell. Ho rushed upon Mr. Gibson, and aimed the
first blow at his throat or neck ; but he, movingiuifiniit
fell upon his breast, the end of the weaken, which • 7
was pointed, but rather blunt, coming in contact wi his
breast with such force as to nearly render Mr. Gibson
atthe same time bending the instrument in a
most remarkable manner. The prisoner then knocked
Gibson down, and continued striking at him in a savage
manner with the knife, which, owing to its bluntness and
being bent, did not do much injury, although the trousers
were cat through and the shirt showed some punctures
opposite the groin. Prisoner bad delivered eight or nine
blows when ho was dragged off the prosecutor by the
workmen.

The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to penal
servitude for ten years.
On hearing the sentence, he burst intoa convulsive sob,
put his hand to his head, and muttered " it was over with
him."

CORN.-11.tra, Jets 11.--The aupply to-day was again very
mall, but as we have every prospect of an early harm • in Gad,

CAMBRIDGE JULY 11.—There was a fair supply of whet at
to-day's market. The tone of the demand was quiet, and when•
holders pushed sake prices declined about. es. per qr. Itu ley
mine ray slowly to hand, and must be quoted at last week's
Wee. °ate were moderately represented, and the inquiry ea.
pretty fair at quite as much money as heretofore. The supply of
beans was short, and full rates were established. The foilowine
were the current prices :—White wheat, 665. to 61U. • rod, 575. to
.00e. ; barley, 40e. ; oats, 28s. to Mc • ' beans, 4*.. to Ai. per qr.
Couxissras, JULY 11. —Wheat is still scarce, and a further re-
daction took place in the quotations. Home capital new leis
were otered at from 40s to elti. per qr. • white wheat, (725. to
ties. ; red ditto, 55e. to Pits. ; grinding barley, 61. to 56m.

I'herAlTXlll, .J 1317 11.—The market was to-day very well
Ewith wheat, and again we have to report a reduction in
arbith have now for some time shown a slow but steady
of Which there is no at present of any abed,
meat. Oats, the' prOeUWOr of • wheat harvest, have already
been ant and kid to this neighbourhood, this being fully three
weeks earlier than usual. With thew praweete the sale at the
market., even Wit reduction of ed. per three bushels, was only
slow, and many lota were left on hand at the close. Oats were
somewhat soiree and a little dearer. In beans and peas there
wee net much paining, and little alteration. The following were
the quotatioas:—Wew wheat, Us, to Ms. ; One If'. per three
bushels ; old wheat, les. to 275. ; due, 295. ditto; blend corn, xis.
to no. per three bushels ; rye, des. to 17s. per three bushels ; old

LOCCEISTIR JULY 11.-OILT foreign imports this week include
8,000 qrs. of wheat from New York, 2,000qm. from Nieolaief, end
3,000 qrs. from Trieste; about 14,000 qes. of barley, 900. rs. of
oats, and 2,160 qrs. of beans, besides about 3,0® qrs. of Irish
oats. The market is firm, with a disposition to advance In price,
and everything now depends cc the weather that may prevail for
the next two or three weeks. The drought is bunting up the
pastures unfit there is hardly a blade of gram left. The cereals
are all fdfeeted by it, but the wheat en the strong lands flourishes
most vigorously through it all. A beginning of harvest has been
made, oats, peas, and beans being now in a few places under
the sickle.

Gasarnsm, JI'LY 11.-Buppiy of wheat was moderate ; tine
sorts were M. to ft to Se , other kinds 2s. . per qr. cheaper. Vitiate,
CA.. to TM. ; red, 64M. to 695. per 36 stone. Barley, nil. The sim-
ply of oats wsa meagre, and the few sales made were at =
similar to those of this day week, I. to 365. per 34 stone.
were also scarce, and maintained their full value, 60v. to &SI. per
qr. An early. harvest is Looked forward to, and wheat is expected
to prove a fill yield.

orn.uroao, jute 11.—A barge supply of wheat, for which there
was ,cry little demand, but the few parcels disposed of realived
the reduced rates of last week. A few samples of new pee., at
market, which met a retied demand at from 445. to 46e. per or.
Wheat, 6.1 a. to 765. ; barley, Ma. to 4k. ; beans, 4Ns. to Us. ;
eata,2Bs. to Sky.

EICITORD, JrI.T 11.—A &loot supply of wheat, bat the rapid
apizoach of harvest paralyses the trade, and all kinds of wheat
are lower. About no. is the price for runs to-day. No change in
spring corn @candy any offering from the growers. Wheat
cutting will begin on Monday, the 13th. The prospects fur
winter keep are deplorable.

LFICUSTFa, JVLY Il.—There was a moderate show of wheat,
misdating of white and red sorts. Business was inactive, an I a
reduction of Is. to 2a. per quarter had to be submitted to.
qualities may be quoted at 641. to 1385., and whited*. to 725. tax
quarter of 36 stone. The show of barley van very scanty, and
the amount of busies* done was limited, prices being without
material change from those of last week ; gruediug may be qtioami
at Mc to 441. per quarter. Oats came moderately to hand, and
with 'a firm tone in the demand prices were Is. per quarter
higher than heretofore; new, 3Cm. to 390. per 24 Acne. The de-
mand for beans Wila stoutly. A small quantity of eamplo, earn.•
to hand, and extreme currencies were established ; new, 634. to
Me. per 38 atone. Peaa were held at quite as much money as
heretofore. Fine dour, 52a. to Mc ; seconds, 19.. to 50e1. per seek.
Nawcasres-oa-Trea, Juror 11.—At our market this mining
we bad a good supply of wheat for the time of the year from the
growers, but the arrivals coastwise being moderate, and chilly
from Scotland, fresh thrashed samples were taken off quickly at
the very extreme rates of this day ee'nnight ; choke white at the
same time commanding an amendment of Is. per quarter. The
stands being poorly provided with south country whet,caused a
more lively inquiry for foreign, a choice cargo of red from Wol-
gist having been readily placed at Mts. per 5041 b. Fur medium
descriptions we ced a limited demand, but prieLe cannot
be written lower Flour was held mole firmly, at late quotation...
Little inquiry for beam and peas., but good Scotch oak mt a
more ready *le, line 421ba quality touching 33e. per 3:311b4.,
whilst a fair clearance bas been effected of sweet heavy foreign at
full prima.. The arrivals this week are :—Wheat,cearavrise, 1,117
qrs. ; foreign, 1,493; rye,. modular, 17; foreign, 1(0; milt,
coastwise, 50 ; oats, coaatense, no ; foreign, 913; peas, foreign,
40; dour, cossetwiae, 1,460 sacks.
Noa•rasurrov, Jety 11. —Wheat was in fair amply for the
semen, and sold slowly at priers in favour of the buyer. Tlo
value of barley was nominally unaltered. Oats were by no in'oen
plentiful, and moved off at good prices Of beano the show was
also shot?, and extreme rat* were for the most part obtained.
Wan steady. Quotations, —Whits: wheat, fife to Ms ; tine, 6:m. ;
red, 391. to 66.. • fine, 670. ; malting barley, 43a. to 435. • grinliair,

s*. • peas, 44a. to 495. ; fine, SEs. ; malt, Ten. to 735. per quarter.
Flmir, 49a. to bla. per sack.

NORWICH inur 11.—There was a tolerable enmity of wheat on
offer at this market to-day, but the demand being limited the
trade ruled Is. to 2s. per qr. lower than on this day ac'nnight. Not
much passing in other articles. White wheat, 70a. to 72-.; red
ditto, Mts. to 61x. per qr. Averages :—Wheat, 771 qrs., Gl+.
We have had another week of hot and dry weather, and still Uwe.,
are no indications of rain. Oar crepe are rapidly maturing, awl
wheat cutting will partially commence in about 10 days ; prvms-
lure ripeness is manifesting itself in many of the barleys, and
there is likely to be a very great variety of quality.
NOTTWO:11 All JOLT 11.—At WASP market the ,how of wheat
was fair, and ihe demand was inactive, prices being fully Is. per
qr. cask r. White samples made 6th.. to 745., and red, sz... to ills.
per 20 stone. barley was again nominal. The supply of oats
was very small, and a steady demand took place at priees th •
turn in favour of buyers for all geld qualities. New sorts made
flea. to 36a. ; tine, 3&'. to tOs. per 24 stone. There were not many
beans showing, and busineas was transacted steadily at the ex-
treme quotations of the previous week—new samples making from
52m. to Ms. per :et stone. in peas there was not much doing.
Harvest operations have commenced in revered yarts of the
county.

Oxriin, JULY 11. —There was an average attendance tosl iy
consideringthe time of year. Wheat, with a fair supply, ranavd
from Ws. to 765. per quarter. Barley, hardly soy offering. U it.,
275. to Ma. Beans hardly quotable, new hog peas, 465. Flour
(seconds), 475. to fits. per sack.
PITERBOROVON, JULY 11.—We had only a moderate show of
wheat, but sufficient to meet the demand, and sellers had gene-
rally to mar& to a reduction of la. to M. per qr. from the turns
of the previous week; fine white, 71s. • runs, 635. to 68s. ; due
red, 66e. ; runs, Ws. to 645. per 96 stone. Barley was nominal.
A tolerable demand We experienced for oats, and priors were
without material change ; 28s. to 345. • fine, 365. per 24 stone.
Beans were held at top prime; Wu. to fai. ; line, Ha. per impe-
rial qr.
RIKADING JULY IL—Harvest operations having ecimmeneed
in some Maria in this district, we may shortly expect to see
samples of new wheat in our exchange. The present demand
for old wheat le dull, and prima me deireasing. The trade in
barley and other corn may be said to be in the same sluterish
state, and there is no immediate prospect of an alteration-
lIICHNND YORZIe Ili), JULY 11.—With about an average supply
of wheat the demand was limited at a reduction of about 2d. per
bushel. Prices were from pa. 9d. to 104. per bushel for white,
and 9s. to 9e. 6d. for red. Barley was nominally unalterod,
making M. 6d. to ss. 9d. per bushel. Oath and beans were in
short supply, and a steady demand took place at full rotes ;
M. 10d. to M. 6d. ; beans, 6s. 6d. to le. 9d per bushel. Peas firm
at Ls. 6d. to Ls. W. per ditto.

HOraasraa, JOLT ll.—But little bushman has been banqueted
in tine city since our Loa report, and the trade generally has bovn
characterised by continued dubs. Only a moderate supply of
hsin WA* brought forward at this men exchange, ,end although
olders trete to eubmit toe further reduction of to. to 24.

millers and others to operate to any extent. For the best lute
of white the terms are 70s. to 725.; aocombiry, Ins. to 70s. • salinferior, eta. to 07s. per quarter; bog red wheat, Mi. to'lett. ;
