fended Romans, who, it will be recollected, was is custody a
week upon remand, and was discharged on Wednesday by
Mr. Yardley, who did not consider the evidence suMmeat to
justify his further detention. Last night be was again
taken into custody by Poliv-Sergeant Kelly, No. 2 H,
who now brought forward additional evidence spiest
him. Steffen ended the search made for him until
yesterday evening, when, in comminutes of information
received by Dennis Herdwielt, a pace-sergeant, Na. 7 D, he
repaired to a lodging-home, No. 15, Great Newport-street,
Newport market, when he toned the prisoner and S iffen.
Harlerick stated that he had made diligent search in she

The prosecutors sad other witnesses were examined, and
detailed the cirennistancen of the burglary and robbery as
already publisted.
Gifford, 89 H, stated that, on the morning of Wednesday,
directly after Hostann's discharge be found a deal box in
a bedroom in the house is Little Mill-street. It had eon-

with a bed, and remained in his house till next morning.
Tonne's called upon them several times on Tuesday, the

TIM LATE FATAL OUTRAGE AT PATIIINOTON.—
We lately gave some particulars with regard to this
affair, which we row complete. The Commissioners of
Woods and Foresu have at present a large number of anywise
employed in banking in about 700 ecru of land oa the east
side of Sank bland which they are reclaiming from the
river. A large portion of these workmen lodge at Peering-
ton Haven. On the night of Patrington Pair, which was
hold the week before lost, two of the English labourers, who
had remained rather late at Patrington, were returning
home, when they were attacked by an labia= armed with
a sickle. One of the Englishmen ran away, leaving hie
gemposaion to shift for himself. This he was per'ectly able
le do, sad was about overpowering the Irishman, when the
latter called up, by means of some cry, a fellow-country-
nea who was not far off, and the two severely beat their
opponent, who would have been mach more seriously
hart had not one of the preventive-serviee men come up,
whoa the Irishmen took to their keels, leaving their victim
merely cut about the head and fees. Two men were appre-
hended and taken before the magistrates, charged with being
Use partite concerned in this assault, but, there not being
enfficient identification, they wens dismissed. The English
swain, acting under the provocation of this assault upon
one of their 0011. anions, determined to drive away all the
Irishmen who were working in the gangs with them, and
Friday, the 19* ult , was fixed upon for the occasion of the
attack. On that day, the men being employed upon the east
side of Sunk Island, a dark handkerchief was hoisted as a
signal, upon which • number of the English furiously set
upon:tbe Irish, showing and pelting them with mud;
they, being frightened, theyeupon ran away, and
the pursuit considerably swelled, until the whole,
or nearly the whole, samba. of English employed
were engaged in it. The Irish, instead of running
woe to the point opposite Patriagtaa Haven, which was
about a mile and a quarter distant, where there is a bridge,
WWI which they nslght easily have made their escape, ran
to • nearer point at the northeast corner, where, for the
convenience of labourers and parties concerned in the works,
• ferryboat is kept, and whore they were completely bemused
into • corner. On the present occasion the ferryboat was on
the Welwick side of the channel, sad the ferryman was
absent; there was consequently no escape for the unfortu-
nate Irishmen bat swimming month. north channel, which
divides Sunk Island from the parish of Weiwick ea the
mainland, and in which there was then amnia; •
very strong current. The Irishmen, five in num-
ber, plunged in, but one of them: only succeeded
in reaching the opposite shore, the other four being
carried away by the current and drowned ; the bodies were
found some hours afterwards on the north bank, and were
immediately conveyed toWel wick.where, on the following day,
an inquest was opened before Mr. Ivan, and adjourned
until last Saturday, the proceedings being kept strictly
private, in order to prevent any informaion brag ob-
tained by the parties concerned in the outrage which might
facilitate their escape. There exists on the put of both the
coroner and the jury a determination to sift the matter to the
bottom before closing the inquiry, and the inquest was on
Saturday again adjourned foe the production of further cvi
device. Considerable apprehenrion exists in the triads of the
neighbouring formers, lest, by the Irish being deterred
from going there during the harvest, they should run
abort of bench. Sege of them are also apprehensive of
reprisals being made by the Irish after the long nights
have sat in. For all particulars counted with the loca-
lities mentioned in this paragraph, we are indebted to
Mr. 3. Oldham, engineer to the anueimionere of Woods
sad Forests, who has allowed us to inspect the plane in his
pow egos.
CIITLDIEN OP THE Moon.—On Sunday week lest
a mut named William Martin, a letter carrier, at Oskbamp-
ton, started off with a woman named Mary Rich, who

HIDES.-THIS DAY.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2, 1850.

(VP Moire etarge's Ilkatbly Chsular of the Om Trede.)

OLOI7CISTII, JOLT 30.—The appearance of the wheat
crop in this district varies considerably. In general, then
is a good balk of straw, but it is much laid by the heavy
rains. Sims thenplaists are made of rust mad mildew but
not to any great extent. The yield, quality, sad eondidoe,
cannot be equal to that of last year, out nothing thus far
indicates thy serious tailors of the crop. The bosky is
mostly late, but in g l it comes well into ear, and with
favourable weather next month, may prove a good &virago
crop. Oats an but little grown, bet those pleated in general
promise well. There is mach appearance of blight in many
fields of bats, and various complaints on this *at, and this
crop is expected to prove more or ham delcient in this dis-
trict. The complaints of blight in the peas are rill greater
than in the beans, and this grain will probably prove the
worst crop of the season. The crop of hay is abundant, and
much of it has been saved I. fair condition. Symptoms of
the blight in the potatoes are observed in aluaerous instaners,
but it makes little proems, and from the great extent et
land planted, it is probable, from their generally lexurleat
appearance, there will be a sedicieney for buns food. The
root coops in general promise well. In Monmouthshire and
Cillamorganslitra the heavy crepe are mash laid and late; but
in other rrppect4 promislap.
Bator, JOLT 20.— TM Wheat mop is not looking well,
although the spring-sown fields are unusually healthy. Be-
le, awl Oats are likely to prove abundant. Peas and w-
edge net se premideg. There appears to be a sprinkling of
diseased potatom. bet to any very serious extent at present.
A geed parties et the hay is got together is excellent son-
&ion, of dee quality, bet modems in geantity.
NOTTINGHAM, JOLT 27.--11te Wheat crop in this dis-
trict promises to be good, mans damaged now by the wet
weather which commenced on Thursday morale', sine
which the role has a good deal beaten down the heavy

thought and hit weathir, and will be a bad mop Cinrir
strong soils it looks well. Beau have suffered frAts the dry
wawa, and have not eat well ; the dower having fallen off
for want of moisture. We have hoard no complaints of the
turnip or potato crops. Oats are not much grown here.
Oxrozu, JULY 29.—There are many complaints of wheat
being deficient an the ear, which we find to be the case in
almost every field I have visited ; a great deal it mash laid
aad caanot rim again without some powerful sunshine ; still
I am inclined to think we shall grow a full average, pro-
vided we have fine seasonable weather the next fortnight;
a considerable breadth will be fit for the hook in a week.
Barley is a very heavy Drop, but much of It is laid ; conse-
quently when suck ts the cue the quality must be coarse
and light. Coate are reputed u very good, but like whey
white crops are very much down. Winter beans, of which a
gnat many are now grown here, promise an abundant yield,
but the spring-planted are mach blighted. Crops of peas are
very various, some fi ids being Sae and exceedingly well
podded; while others have been so blighted as to render it
necessary to feed them off; this latter applies mostly to the
late varieties; on the whole, the produce of peas will he
ander ea average. Turnips are spoken well of everywhere ;
n saw a better tuck on the ground generally. Tile
potatoes in most casts us again attacked in this neighbour-
hood.

IbrINAX, JULY 29.—There is a very great eros of Wheat
in this neighbourhood es regards straw ; but much beaten
down and damaged by the late rains, and great complaints
of red gum and blight ; we should doubt now if it exceed an
average crop ; still the yield must turn out very bad if it is
under an aver.ge. Barley very varies considerably, but we
consider it ta be • full 'verve crop. Oats very goo! inclined.
Beam under an average crop; winter-sown very good, but
spring-sown very unpromising. Peas a middling crop, under
an ge. Turnips a good crop, and potatoes also a very
good crop. This district is ntiObouring to Bluster, Oxford,
and Burford.
Wuramtue, JOLT 27.—Opinions vary much in this dis-
trict ; ours is ao material harm has as yet bean done by the
weather, that should it now take ap we shall have a full
ge crop of wheat. Potatoes a great breadth, very little
complaint of disease yet. Oats a short crop. Beans, although
improved within the last few days, have suffered in most
instances, and cannot be an average crop ; scarcely any bar-
ley grown in this district.
Naar,. Hotartnooon, JULY 27.—Wheat, one of the best
crops we aver remember to have seen, and, with fins weather
to secure it, must be above an average ; some pieces laid by
the late rains, but no material damage done at present, and,
with a return of hot weather, harvest will commence In a
fortnight. Barley generally a good crop, except some low
pieces on hot gravel land, on which it is short and light in
the ear, bat, taking the crop on the whole, there will be an
average. Few oats are grown about this place, but what few
pieces are grown seem to be good. Beans and peas are ge-
nerally short and thin on the land, owing to the long period
of dry weather during the spring ; on examining the pods we
find crops vary very Midi: those on hiahly.fanned land
being well filled, while other crops equally heavy in the
straw, bat on poor soil, an very short of corn ; altogether, we
should say the crop is not good, and much below last year.
Tumuli)s are late, and have coma up irregularly, and cannot
be a heavy crop. Potatoes : For many yearn past we never
saw them so fine, and the bloom so healthy. We have not
heard of any disease, and the early sorts yield will.
WORCVITIB, JULY 25 —Farmers from the greatest bean.
growing districts ia this county and Gloucestershire give a bad
account of too beans, peas, and vetches. We had the Earl of
Coventry's audit held hers this week, so that we had the
chance of making inquiries from nearly 100 farmers, and all
agree in their statement. We were out round this neighbour-
toed on Monday, and head the same complaints; there is
most decidedly a gnat defect in the wheat, which will be
seen very soon by all.
ABINGDON, JCL., 26 —Till the last fortnight the wheat
crop in this neighbourhood promised well, being thick on
the ground and well eared ; but latterly much complaint.has
existed of red gum and maggot in the ear, more especially
in the early-sown wheat. This will no doubt cause a great
deficiency, and we think there is a good deal laid by the vio-
lent thunder storms we have had, which will probably affect
the yield to some extent also. Barley is generally a very
heavy crop ; in many cues too much so to be of fins quality,
bring much laid. In some instances it is nearly fit to cut,
and much of it will be ready as soon as the wheat. Winter
beans are generally a very fine crop, and nearly fit for har-
vest. The spring planted is rather short of straw, but
mostly well podded. Pass are by far the worst crop here.
This is not a large at growing district, but the crop is
generally excellent. The:turnip crop is, we believe, very good
on all soils, as are also potatoes up to the present time. Bose
indications of diieass have appeared in the earlier sorts, but
as yet no mischief has resulted therefrom.
WILIAM/BOHM:0B, JCLY 26.—We find from observe,
tion that the wheat crop is a strong plant, thick upon the
promising, according to appearances, a good yield.
Very few of the ears have escaped the depredations of an
orange.coloured maggot, which has caused • deficiency in
the kernels. There may be also found kernels that appear
to have bean attacked by them, but only partially injured.
This will no doubt cams • rough ample. The deficiency
has caused may be reckoned at from one-eighth to one-
two/fele, Mathis may be compensated for by a luxurisnt
crop, malty the energy of the plant concentrating itself
upon the healthy kernels. The mops of barley are looking
healthy and vigorous, promising an abundant yield. Oats
aro not much grown here ; the crops look healthy, with the
proepeet of stair avenge yield. Peas are extensively injured
by the fly. Beans are also attacked, but not seriously, and
promised an &MUNI yield. Potatoes have looked healthy
all the season. Ws do not hear anything respecting the
disease.
KINGSBILIDGB, JULY 25.—Each crop of earn promises
a fair average. The disease is again increasing in potatoes,
and if we have ahowery weather for a fortnight, the damage
will, it is (eared, be mesidarablo.

ERSATZ OP A CONVICT FROM YORK GAOL AND RIB
MiCAPTI:III.—CIa Thursday morning week, shortly after 7
o'clock, George Marshall, who was sentenced to be tran-
sported for 10 years at the last City seisions, effected his
escape from the day yard of the House of Correction, it is
ati..posed, by climbing to the top of a door, and reaching to
the top of the wall, about five yards in height, from which
he descended on the other aide by fastening together the
shreds of his rug, and thus sliding down. His jacket was
found in the moat, and it is supposed that he went to the
house of a female named Gibson, living in " Hagwornes-
nest," Ski.ldergatis, where be was supplied with another
jacket. Policeman Hudson met him on the bridge at 20
minutes past 7. On seeing the officer, Marshall Mime,
diately ran down North•strett, entered Mr. Aekroyd's yard,
and leaped into the river off the wall. A sandman named
Benson took him into his boat, and on being requested to
tiring the felon ashore, Benson said he would have nothing
to do with it, and got into another boat, leaving Marshall
alone, when he Killed aCTO3II the ricer, and got into Mr.
Jacks m's garden, where he was stopped by some workmen,
and ultimately taken Into custody' by Sergeant Turner. The
escape was immediately detected, as the under-jailor (Rey-
nolds) arrived at the seen of capture directly after it had
taken place.—Eastern Comedies Herald.

MONEY MARKET.

-TIVIISDAT EIVNING.

The Banker's lfageseine fee the present month
the following review of the stony market for the
month just brought to a close :

The naeutalaties, politisal and otherwise, whisk somewhat
interfered with the quiet course of business at Ike data of our
last review, have nearly all disappeared in the souseof the
present month. The House of Commons derided in favour
of the foreign policy of the Russell cabinet, on the 23th of
Jams, by • majority of 46, thus neutralhing the hostile
majority of 37 in the House of Lards ; and the lamentable
death of Sir Robert Pal on the tad July same to have
entirely dissipated foe the present all shammed a new Minot.
Abroad there are symptoms of a more settled state of things
than has prevailed fora long time. The said *million of
Fran is auk improved, and the trade with that country

applies to Gummy. We an afraid the alterations in the
ff oliverein tariff, hostile to the fabries of this country, are not
quite se likely to be debited as we misled to suppose when
we wale last month. At home all the markets hams remained

whatever bills are brought to discount. The steadiness and
moderation of the rate of interest is at meat a great ad-
vantage to the trade of the country. The Railway Market
