MANCHESTER.

AN ELECTIONEERING FRAcAs.—Yesterday morning, at
the Salford Borough Court, Mr. William Christian Joughin,
of the Crooked Billet public-house, Chapel-street, Salford,
appeared in answer to a charge of assault preferred against him
by Mr. William Taylor, pawnbroker, Greengate. Mr. J. H.
Taylor, solicitor, was for the defendant. The complainant
stated that on last Tuesday afternoon he was engaged, in com-
pany with Mr. Brunton, draper, Victoria-bridge, in canvassing
the burgesses in Trinity ward, in favour of Messrs. Marsden
and Eveleigh. Between three and six o'clock in the afternoon,
he was going up Collier-street in the company of two females
and their husbands. They were Mrs. Williams and Mrs.
Brown. ,They had got close to the Rolla public-house, in
Collier-street, when complainant saw a car standing in the
street, which contained three or four men, and Mr. Hopkinson,
one of the candidates on the other side, was standing close to
the horse's head. Mr. Hopkinson, was arranging, as witness
thought, the gearing of the horse, and as ho turned opposite to
him, Mr. Hopkinson turned his head round, and asked in a
good-humoured way how the voting was going on. This con-
versation drew the attention of the defendant who was sand-
ing on the ear. The moment defendant saw him he called
him a rascal, or scoundrel. Witness took no notice of
that and went on. The defendant continued using his offensive
language, and at length, when he was about to pass him, he
shouted out at the top of his voice, in the presence of all who
were about, " you are a disgraceful scoundrel." Witness then
told him' that he considered hint a blackguard. He was then
passing on the flags without giving any further reply to the
defendant, when in the greatest fury he jumped out of the car
and exclaimed, " what do you say? what do you say?" ran
across the street, and came at witness in a furious and savage
manner. He came with his open hand and gave witness a
blow on the throat, and knocking him backwards a yard or two
towards the wall ; lie knocked his hat off and caught him by
the throat till witness could neither speak nor breathe,
and while he held him by the throat, he struck him on the head.
lie continued to swear, made use of desperate expressions,
and was about to strike him in the face, when Mr. Hopkinson
came up, laid hold of the defendant's arm, and entreated him
to desist. The defendant was rather fresh, as he was that
morning in Court. Cross examined.—He was not assisting
in bottling some voters whom the defendant wanted. The
defendant was one of the Committee of Mr. Hopkinson, who
was returned.—Mr. Hopkinson, the newly-elected councillor
for St. Stephen's ward, stated that he remembered the previous
Tuesday. 'Mr. Taylor came up while he was in Collier street,
and shook his fist at Mr. Joughin, and called him a
villainous scoundrel. Taylor came up the street, when witness
was about ten yards from,the cart. Witness asked Taylor how
the polling was getting on, upon which Taylor called Joughin a
-- villainous scoundrel. Heard nothing pass between them
before that. If anything had passed, thinks he should have
heard it. Upon this Joughin collared Taylor, and asked him
what he meant by calling him by the name he applied to him.
Witness immediately interposed between them. Joughin
merely took hold of Taylor's coat collar, he did not strike
him.—Other witnesses having„, been examined, in corrobora-
tion of the statements made, Mr. Taylor, solicitor, addressed
the bench for the defendant ; after which, Mr Trafford said, it
was clear that an assault, and rather a violent assault had been
committed, and that, too, by one who had been frequently
before that Court for the commission of violence in one shape
or another, towards people. And his conduct that morning in
coming into the Court i❑ a state far from sober, was exceed-
ingly disgraceful. He must pay a fine of 40s. and costs,

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
By advice, from New York of the 25th ult., the market is
quoted 25c. per barrel down for flour, and 2 to 3c. per bushel
lower for wheat. The exports thence for the week were as
follows, viz.: of flour to Liverpool 10,842 barrels, to Havre
17,966 barrels; of wheat to Liverpool 207,376 bushels, to
London 8,554 bushels, to Cardiff 14,099 bushels, to Havre
64,874 bushels, to Lisbon 21,686 bushels.
The receipt of grain into this port from Ireland, since Tues-
day last, arc moderate, those of oatmeal including a further
good supply, while coastwise the entries are altogether trivial.
Of wheat from abroad, however, the import of the week is
liberal, chiefly from the United States, and partly from Canada,
Spain, Egypt, and Constantinople; of States and Spanish
flour the arrivals are also fair in amount, which, with a parcel
of barley and two or three of Indian corn, from the supplies
of foreign produce fresh in for to-day.
The weather having continued favourable here, and through-
out most parts of this country during the last ten days, great
noires, anoears to have been made the last week towards se-
curing the remnant of tile Mt
wherever the absorption of the late rains admitted of it;
whilst in some districts in Ireland the weather last week was
extremely wet and unpropitious, and all agricultural operations
necessarily suspended at the time. The markets of the king-
dom are generally quoted lower, and the trade dull, the appre-
hension of a bad seeding time being in some measure dissipated,
and an impression gaining ground that the wants of the season
will be fairly supplied : the future can only show how, with a
failing crop of wheat at home, an equally deficient one in
France, and the difficulties caused by the complicated state of
political affairs in the East, independent of the high rates of
transport, our necessities can be fully and regularly met up to
next harvest; millers, however, having lately well supplied
their wants, and in the face of a present good supply are
naturally cautious, and Mark-lane giving a depressed account
yesterday, our market this morning opened with a dull aspect;
there was, however, little pressure on the part of holders, and
having a tolerable attendance of town and country millers, a
moderate business was transacted in wheat, generally at Fri-
day's decline, say 3d. per bushel under the rates of this day
week. The flour trade commenced equally slow, but before
the close an active demand sprang up, with an improving
value, and a considerable quantity changed hands, the general
currency for fresh American being Is. per barrel less than on
Tuesday last, and there are now few sellers.
In bailey we have little change from the end of the week ;
most of the new Irish parcels are of middling quality and only
the best bring our quotations. Malt fully supports the late
value. Beans are a slow sale. Oats are dull, but oatmeal is
in somewhat better request, at a further slight decline.
. For Indian corn we have continued inquiry, but the firm-
ness of holders still prevents much business being done.
