Gen' kart., who wan brought before the Lord Mayor

11%/tiom NaZs, late collector of the poor,
sewer. and main drainage rates, in the northern
district of the ,stensive parish of MI Saints, Poplar, air
peered before Mr. Woolrych for the third time, and was
now charged with refusing to comply with an order of the
'magistrate. to pay to the trustees of the pariah the sum of
dOOl., the amount of his defalcations on two poor. rates he
had collected iu October and November, 1860, and January
and February, laCd.
In addition to the prisoner's defalcation on the poor-
rate, be also indebted to the trustees onwards of WM
on other rates. An action was brought against him for the
whole amount of his deficiencies, and upon an execution
being levied on his goods and chattels they produced 110 i.
only, which was barely sufficient to pay the legal expenses,
and the trustees then oommenoW procredisga against
Nation, under the local act. The case was beard last
Tuesday, mid a distress warrant was ordered to issue.
Nation's three sureties, who were responsible to the
amount of L'UOI. each, have since agreed to discharge their
liabilities in four quarterly payments of 150/. each ; when
that ia done. there will still be a deficiency of SOW., for
which a new rate will have to be made.

Taidin, an officer of the court, void be bad served the
nungiatrates order for the payment of :iOO/. on the de-
fendant.

Mr. Woolrych—Have you recovered the money!
Taplin—No, sir, not one farthing. The defendant has no
goads on which I can levy.
Nation, who was greatly agitated, said everything was
takeu from him by the sheriff's °dicers. He was a beggar—
utterly ruined. He was 67 years of age, very infirm, and
Nuhjevt to Ms, which came upon him every 10 or 12 day'.
Under these circumstances be implored the tnagistnite to be
nn..ifol to him . . .

yr. ivit;ol;;;ii said as the order wee not obeyed, and the
defendaet was without goods on which a levy could be
made, he had no alternative, under the act of parliament,
but to commit the defendant to prison. He sentenced the
defendant to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for
21 days.
Nation thanked the magistrate, and was forthwith sent
to
1nw711.-dreseed woman named Kama Crawford, 30, was
brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with aasaultieg and
wouuding Mr. William Lane, a plumber, dwelling in the
Ohl Manor-road, Stepney, near the Old Church.
Mr. Lens stated that the previous night he was at his
dour in the act of putting a key in the lock, when the pri-
'leer came up to him, and said," Before you go into that
house tonight I'll have some money." He told her to leave
him, and she immediately struck him a tremendous blow on
the mouth with a key, split his lip open, and broke one of
his front teeth. He had bled profusely, and he was com-
pelled to put himself under the care of a surgeon. His lip
was sewn up, and a surgical bandage placed on it.
Police-constable John Hall, No. 283 K, stated that he
sow the whole occurrence, said confirmed the prosecutor's
statement. _

The prisoner-11e struck me first and knocked me down,
and lam bruised all over. _ _

Mr. Lane- No such thing, I touched her.
The prisouer—l lived with him seven years and upwards.
He took me away from my husband. lam separated from

Mr. lase—l lived with tho prisoner fib years, but I could
live with her no longer—her temper was so had. She
has snooped me since 1 left her in every possible manner,

The prisoner—He has parted me from my husband;
what am I to do

_ .
Mr. Woolrych mud the prisoner had been living in a stale
of adultery with another man, and must not expert any
favour from her husband. The destitution and distress
under which she was Libouring were the consequences of
her own sin. The prisoner had committed a most unjusti-
fiable attack on the complainant, and he (Mr. Woulrycb)
was not going into her wrongs or her fancied wrongs. He
sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of ".IM. or be impri-
soned 10 dais.
WANDSWORTH.

Gewye Driver, a watermao, appeared before Mr. Day-
to answer the complaint of Mr. H. Beaumont Kent,
a gentleman connected with Bell's Life newspaper, for
threatening him with personal violence, whereby he went in
bodily fear.
The defendant pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Kent complained that fur the feet two years he had
been subjected to great annoyance from the defendant.
On Monday last be went to the Feathers public-house iu
Wandsworth respecting • boat race, some particulars of
which he wished to obtain, when the defendant again an-
noyed him, without his milking any remark to him. He
abused him in a manner worse than on any former occasion,
and also threatened him with personal violence. Mr. Kent
added that the cause of this last annoyance was his refusing
to insert • notice in Bc/L 's Life that a subscription was
being raised fur him, on account of an accident to his boat
when following • match.
The defendant denied it, and said the complainant was
always annoying him, and he had forbidden him to put his
name in Liar Life.

Mr. Llayrun rid it wu Imogene) to forbid the insertion
of his name. He (Mr. Layman) might just the same
forbid the reporter to mention his name. If the defendant
chose to mix himself up in public matters they must publish
his name.

11;71;feodant referred to a report of Mr. Kent, in which
he charged him with having rowed a "cross."
M.r. Kent vindicated his report, and said he only performed
his duty when be wrote it.
Mr. Hayman told the defendant that if he was not fairly
reported be could write to the papers and contradict it ; but
be could not be allowed to threrten a reporter when he wee
doing his duty and to intimidate him. He ordered the
decedent to find two sureties in 201. each, to keep the
pews for the next six mouths.
The defendant said he had only one surety present, but
Mr. Layman told him he would be kept in custody until he
found the other.

GRILL? INDIAN PENINSULA RAILWAY.

Tho report of the directors of this company, to be
submitted at the twenty-fourth half-yearly general meeting
on Thursday, states that during the half-year ending the
30th June bast, the average number of miles of the com-
pemy's railway open for public traffic was 343. A very large
met e.OO was olitained in the last half-year both in the pee-
senger and merchandise trallie. The number of passer).
gen carried was 490,216, or 70 per cent., and the quantity of
public merchandise 45,1tr2 tons, or i 6 per cent. greater in
the last u.:. At the suuc LIMO the res cipts amounted
to 1t:,197f. 108. 101 in the aggregate. and to 26/. 3s. lad.
per mile more than in the corresponding half of the pre
vious year. The directors consider these results satisfactory
in as far as they prove tlmt the traffic of the districts
through which the railway proses is being rapidly attracted
to it. They are however of opinion that the money return is
not commensurate with the work performed, and that the
experimental rates for both passengers and goods now
charged will require considerable alteration in order to
realise the company's just expectations. The subject of
rates is of great importance, but as long as the question
continues to be affected by the highly exceptional state of
the railway at the Shore and Thull Ghats, it will not be
possible to arrive at any definitive settlement ; and so long
therefore the existing rates must still be considered as ex•
perimental. Therms causes which operate unfavourably
on the reesips of the railway occasion an expenditure greatly
in excess of the ordinary working charges.

THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN CORN TRADE.

(From the Mark-lane Express.)

We have had another week of extraordinarily mild
weather, with very little rain. The sowing of wheat has
continued at a nipid rate where the lands were well ploughed
and cleaned; but the Brat-sown lands show a great in-
equality in the plant for want of more moisture, and the
poods and wells in many places cootinue very low. Oa the
other baud, the meadows show a good bite for cattle, and we
are getting near to winter favourably. The wheat trade,
after a steady advance for three weeks, at the close of last 11
week was chill, and though some markets have continued
the upward movement to the extent of 25., others have
scarcely been tinn, leaving the average Rain at about le. per 1
qv T o •ukridosaoc tae dorushad for Prance, awl the
aversion of millers, under such circumstances, to support an
upward movement, are quite enough to account for the
present calm ; and as some flour shipped on French account
has already found it. way back, from the dulness of the
French markets, and the improvement of our own, an
inference favourable to lower rates has immediately been
drawn. Still fluctuations in times of excitement are to
be expected, and it is possible some reactionary symptoms
may obtain for a week or two • but it would falsify previ-
ously credible statements if a lower range of prices should
permanently rule. Neither our stocks nor arrivals of foreign
el the supposition. There is, moreover, one circum-
stauce in our own crop, which seems to have been over-
looked iu the fineness of the samples, and that is the serious
amount of wheat shed when the ears were heavy and dead-
ripe. 801:11e practical men have taken this loan as almost or
quite equal to the quantity required for seed. Such a waste,
added to the liberal deliveries of late, must make short
marketa, and unless foreign supplies come to band on •
larger ecale, these stubborn facta will soon tell upon Flow
In France, rates are slightly reduced ; but the continental
markets, which were drooping, have lately been revived by
advice, from England.
The arrivals otf the coast since the 17th inst. were 43
cargoes, of which 11 were wheat, 19 maize, and 13 miseel-
' 'animus.
The business transacted was as follows :—Berdianski
wheat, at 575. 6d. to 58s. ; Taganrog Mirka, four cargoes,
at Wm 3d. to 575. ; Milwaukie, at 575. ; white Philadelphia,
at GI ; also Philadelphia flour, for Havre, at Ws. per barrel.
Of maize about ten cargoes eastern, 335. 104c1. to 375. • and
4,500 qra roiled Americus, at 345. Of Egyptian and 'Seidl
beans five cargoes, at 36. 3d. to 355. ; one of Barbary beano,
at atis. CaL ; and one of Egyptian barley, at 29e., for the
continent.

The sales noted List week were 121,242 qrs. wheat, at
565. 3d., against 76,476 qr• in 1610. The London averages
were 61s. Bd. on 5,504 yes.
The imports into the principal ports of Great Britain for
the week eliding 16th of October, in wheat and flour, were
equal to 50,815 qrs., of which 5,932 qrs. were colonial.
llouday's market iu London opened on moderate supplies
of wheat, both English and foreign, the exports still being
nearly 5,000 qrs. Durtng the morning hut little anew
from.Hent and Essex, and as the country markets all noted
an improvement, factors began by asking' a. to 3a. per qr.
more. Millers, however, held back, and the sales made'
at only Is. to 3. per qr. advance, a fair portion being left
unsold. More was doing in foreign, red American being 2s.
per. qr. higher, and other sorts were imprmed Is. to 2s. in
retail. ,largos afloat brought fully is. beyond former
prices. On Wednesday there were 1,140 qr• per coast, and
7,860 qrs. foreigu. The business of this day MIN on a
limited ...ale, and several of Mouday's samples were unsold.
In foreign the demand was also slow; but former rates
were supported. Friday's returns were 2,230 qrs. per onset,
and 1'4,130 qrs. foreign. Trade being left to a consumptive
inquiry, millers were able to take some English wheat on
lower terms • but foreign factors did not give way.
The supply of country flour on Monday was good ; of
' foreign short, and only about half the exports. Country
sorts improved Is. per sack, and American barrels were Is.
per barrel improva4 and good qualities very scarce. The
top price of town-made was unaltered. On Wednesday
there were 450 sacks per coast, and 40 sacks foreign.
Business in country sorts was slow, as well as in foreign ;
but prices were unchanged. The returns on Friday were
1,160 sacks per coast, 40 sacks 10,750 barrels foreign. This
was a very dull day in consequence of the slackness in
English wheat ; but neither English nor foreign holders
would take less money.
Of British barley the supply was rather improved, though
still short in foreign sorts. The weather being colder, the
best English malting sorts were sold readily at Is. per qr.
advance; but the new Baltic supplies being mostly out of
order, were ',au, dull. Eastern grinding descriptions main-
tained their value. On Wednesday there were 830 qr• per
coast, and 3,250 qrs. foreign. Malting sorts of tine quality
were quite as dear, but other descriptions were but a slow
sole. Friday's returns were 1,270 qrs. per coast, and 3,250
qrs. foreign. Fine malting sorts remained in favour, and
other discriptions were unaltered in value.
The malt trade was quiet, without change in prices. The
week closed my dull, especially for old sorts.
Though still dacient in Scotch and Irish oats on Monday,
there were fair supplies of English and foreign. The new
English, as well as sweet old foreign, were rather dearer;
but the bulk of the Baltic supplies being out of order, as
well an of poor quality, were very difficult to place unless
on easier topes. On Wednesday there were 1,050 qrs.
Irish, and 11,130 qm. foreign. Fine old Russian corn was
still in favour; but inferior sew foreign remained quite a
drug. Friday's returns were 60 qrs. per coast, 2,290 qrs.
Irish 13,560 qrs. foreign. All old corn of good,
quality
was rather against buyers ; but new was rather cheaper.
The supplies of beans, both English and foreigu, were fair.
Stock of old foreign being small, and the quality of the new
English good, prices improved Is. per qr. Prices closed
firm Go Friday.
The supply of peas was moderate, and exclusively of home
growth. For English sorts prices improved ls. white
foreign, for feeding, were also rather dearer. Though uo
improvement could be Doted on Friday, rates were rather
looking up.
Thearrivals of linseed still being below the demand, prices
of crushing SOILS VAMP again 36 per quarter higher, with a
free sale for cakes.

fhouilifaWliCtie ms passing in geode, red clover-n*lmm
more in favour, the estimate of the Ergliah crop having been
over-rated. Trefoil was steady, and Canary, after long
neglect, was decidedly several shillings higher than a few
weeks back. Tares and mustard seed, both brown and white,
were dull. . .

Several of the wenn,/ wheat markets were only quiet at
former rates, 'limb aa Sleeked, Boston, Birmingham, Man-
chester, Yahoo Mowbray, Louth, Barnard Castle, Northal-
leston, Glotroestar, and Bristol. Others were only la
dearer, as St. Drew, Stocktoo-on-Tees, Bury St. Edmunds,
Dammam Newark, and Salisbury ; but others follow Loa-
doe, and were Is. to 2s. dearer, as Hull, Lynn. Market
Harborough, Wah.ll, and Ipswich. Must of Saturday's
markets were dull. mid prices scarcely maintained.
Liverpool ou Tuesday wa.l 2.1. to :Id. per rental cheaper
for wheat. Oat. were firm ; but beans and peas rather
lower, so was maize, prime mixed being offered at 24. per
quarter. On Friday there was a [either decline in whoa of
3d. per rental ; but fine flour was lather dearer. Maisel
' sold well at a eduction of le per quarter.
Spring corn was little altered in value during the week ;
but malting barley, as well a beans and pose. was about
Is. per quarter dearer.
There was a gond demand at Edinburgh for reed-wheat,
at full prices ; other description. remained unchanged in
value. At Glasgow, price' for good sorts were firm, and all
apriug corn ruled at about former rates.
The native wheat showing at Dublin was mostly unfit for
the miq ; but fine foreign was held at 6d. per barrel ad-
warm. Malting barley was in request, and good oats, fit for
shipping, were lid. per barrel dearer. Maize was in good
demand, and flour 2s. to :h. 6d. per sack dearer. Business
io Cork was very limited, native supplies in poor condition,
and prices of all grain Tether against millers.
Though:the Paris flour market was dull throughout the
week, prices have very little changed, the range for tine
qualities being from 83 to 89 franca per 159 kilos. (545. to
Ms. per 28011 m. English.) The four marks, after some fluc-
tuations, closed at slit. 50c. per 159 kilos. (565. 6d. pin
2801 be.), with S7f. for Noveir.ber and December. At •
public sale on Wednesday some old flour sold at 71f. to
sot 50c. per 159 kilos. (465. to 595. lid. per tiollie.). The
wheat trade has not altereda respects fine qualities, and
secondary sorta have found • rather better sale than of late,
but inferior could not be quitted. Hoe new white English
was taken at 481. 50c. to 49f. per 120 kilo.. (75a. per qr.),
red at 46f. (73.. 6d. per qr.), which was also the price for
high mixed Danzig. Stettin brought 47f. (72e. per qr.).
Spring Armchair 41f. to 42f. (645. per qr.). Little native
whoa appeared. Wheat Du Centre was quoted 441. to 41W.
per 120 kiln. (675. to 7th. lid. per qr.) Choice Bourgogne,
46f. 50c. (71st per qr.). Bye was spin If. cheaper, 2ty. per
Ills kilos. (40a per qr.). betogini highest quotation. Barley
wee down fully 50 centime per 100 kilos., with a very
sleek inquiry. Oats were exceedingly dull, though not
quoted lower. As to seeds, cloverseed was estimated as •
fair crop, prices being 9Bf. to 105 f. per bale of 100 kilo..
and trefoil 3M.to 40f. per 100 kilos. The quality of the
latter was generally poor.
In the couutry, wheat markets were very calm. Dijon
woe 10 aintimes per heath cheaper, say Is. per qr. HAT

and Bonisan: unaltered. Marseilles, though still dull, was
/other revived by the Loudon advises. The imports for
France from the Ist to the 10th of °Motor were, iu wheat
sod flour, 6'4,767 quiutals ; tee export', 5.031 quintals.
The average decline at the week's close throughout France
was Is. to 2s. oo wheat.

The Belgian markets have meetly recovered from the de-
pression of last week. Liege was 6d. to Is. pe? qr. dearer,
more especially for hue wheat, which was worth Os. Iktrley
had unproved still more in value, and oats ware !inn.
Tennonde wax unaltered, and Antwerp firm.
Splendid weather had ruled in Holland. At Maestrielit,
wheat, though in moderate supply, was Is. per or. theap..r,
and rye fell 6d. per qr. ; the former was quoted 65a., the
latter 445. per qr. Rottenlani found a free sale for Pale
and red wheat. Other sorts and rye were unaltered. Am-
sterdam Doted some improvement in rye for delivery, wheat
being Is. per qr. dearer. Barley pointed upwards, and oats
were steady.
The Swim markets were generally about Is. per qr. lower
for wheat.

Nothing was doing in wheat at Bremen, stocks being
short ; but rye sold freely.
More encouraging advice, from London kept prices firm at
Hamburg, but this impeded business for goods on the spot ;
more, however, was doing for spring delivery, at rather in-
creased rates. Fine Danish and Swedish wheat had brought
to 60s. 6d. on the spot, and for delivery 635. per qr.
Rye was much in favour at 35a. 6d. for Danzig and
Konigsberg sort.. Danish barley to 29a. 6d. Oats were
declining,
The weather at Cologne was very fine, and markets ad-
vancing. Wheat on the spot 641. per qr. ; for May 598.13 d.
par qr.
Prices of wheat at Mayence were steady, say 565. for
Hungarian, 595. 6d. for Bavarian. It vii, thought that
many of the eastern markets were cleared out.
Notwithstanding more encouraging advice@ received at
Odessa, as well .s some reduction in freighta, the market
had been calm, and wheat rather easier, but maize, rye,
and barley were steady. The new supplies of old wheat
from Poland were appearing, bath weight and quality
givingr satisfaction. A week's businessamounted to about
,000 qrs. of corn.
In consequence of much rain, supplies were improving
by water at Wets ; but the roads were almost impassable,
and this would prevent the more distant districts of Mol- '
davia from sending their desirable qualities till, perhaps,
May ow .rum. nest ywer. NO V/ .raft wheat lat
Dyads, 36e. 6d. per qr.
Large purchases were lately made at Constantinople ; but
more recently nothing had been done in the way of export.
At Alexandria Seidl wheat was quoted 132 to 134 piastres
per ealm ; Behan to 130 piastres ; beans, Seidl, to 112
piastres; Hallam, 107 piastres ; barley, 75 to 78 piastres per
maim. Exchange 95 to 95,4 piastres per C.
There had been • fair export at Trieste of wheat at ad-
vancing rates, and oats were inquired for on speculation, but
maize was calm.

Large supplies poured into Venice, viz., 33,000 qm
wheat. 90,000 qrs. maize, and 26,000 qrs. oats. These
arrivals quite paralysed business for the week.
The calm announced at Marseilles led to the stoppage of
several wheat-laden vessels at Leghorn. But though this
made the market calm, prices were not lowered. Ten
shiploads of maize had arrived and gone to granary, without
altering pnoss. The Tuscan farmer seemed to have none to
part with. White native wheat, 655. 6d. ; red, 60s. ;
Marianople, 575. per qr.
From Santander ten shiploads of flour and wheat had
been shipped to France in three days, but prices were some-
what easier, though the Castilian markets were Grin or
rising. Short supplies at Valladolid raised wbeas prices to
58s. At Alicante ,ids. per Btolba. was paid for Castilian
dour, and in most of the town, in Spain the high rates
demanded limited business.
In the Channel Islands the bent for several weeks had
been equal to that of August. Large supplies of potatoes
were continually received from Entice and sent on to the
different English ports. Receipts, on the other band, of
wheat and dour were good from England, and the hest
grown wheat on the Islands was selected and shipped to
France for seed.

Though the French inquiry at New York was not so
vigorous, a nose! at Havre had been freighted with 12,000
barrels of flour in oue day, and a week's shipments in wheat
had reached to about 110,000 qrs., red winter! being most in
demand ; for England, in the same time, shipments were
only Zl,ooo qrs. Rye had also been in demand, not only
for France, but the north of Europe, prima being about
9d. per qr. higher. Speculation also in maize, as well as
exports to England, bad raised this grain is, per qr.

MURDER NEAR Tuam.—We regret to have to
record a fearful murder which took place within one mile
of Tam. on the Gurrance-road, near Oakinount, on the
night of the sheep-fair (21st inst.). A poor man named James
Healy, from Aghlosk, while returning from the fair in com-
justly with his wife and some friends, was waylaid on the

SUSPECTED MURDER IN THE REOENT'S CAN•L.
—Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the body of a young
woman unloosen, apparently about 20 years of age,
decently attired, was discovered by a labouring man float-
, ing in the water of the Regent's Canal, Rosemary Branch-
bridge, near North-reed, Holton. The body had been in
the water several days, and presented a sickening spectacle,
the Lead being battered is, and the eyes removed from their
sockets. The arms and legs were bruised, and the body in
various parts was contused, and the akin abraded from ex-
ternal violence. A messenger was despatched for
Mr. Edward Walter, the coroner's officer, who pro-
ceeded to the slot, and had the body removed in a shell
to the workhouse of St. Leonard's, Shoretlitch, where Dr.
Clark, the parochial medical officer, made a minute exami-
nation of the body, which was that of a tine young woman.
The skull was extensively fractured, and the brain lace-
rated. The injuries were no doubt the cause of sleuth. A
full description of the deceased was at once forwarded
to the whole of the metropolitan police stations, and at noon
yesterday Mr. Walter received information which leads him
to believe that the name of the deceased is Emma Jones,
and that her friends reside in the neighbourhood of the Cur
taiu.road, Shoreditch, front which place she has been mim-
ing for nearly a fortnight. Search had been made for her
by her father and mother, but at present the cause of the
dammed's death is involved in great obscurity.

Satic[lnn OMURA,:!WE —On Thursday evening
the inhabitants of Dowleis were skewed by hearing a loud
report, very similar in sound to the explosion which now
and then occurs in coal pits. After a little while it wee
ascertained that an explosion bad taken place in the refinery
at the Iron Works, through the ignorance or carelessness of
a poor workman. It appears that it was his duty to place
the stud mould,. in order in readiness for the iron ore to
run into them in a molten condition. This he did, hut
thoughtlessly plunged a bar of cold iron into the heated
mass, and the consequence was that an explosion ensued,
the iron leaping in all directions as if endowed with vitality,
literally covering the unfortunate man with a molten marl
to the horror of the few who were near. In addition, great
damage was caused, hut all this was overlooked is the
anxiety to rescue the sufferer, who was at once placed in
blankets, with oil bandages about him, and in this position
be remains. We are informed that recovery is hopeless,
his eyes are gone and the flesh burnt from his bones. The
sufferer's name is King. He is an old soldier, who has boss
through the whole of the Crimean war.
A CHILD SCALDED Ti) DEATlL—Yesterflay morn-
ing Mr. Bedford, the coroner, held an inquest at the Union

called in two days after the occurrence. and had heard that
